slave like jade

Chapter 93

There was no candle in the dark room, and the half-opened curtains let in the light of the setting sun outside. Yu Ruyan had been sleeping in a daze, her dreams were full of terrible nightmares, and she dreamed that Mu Lingzhi was facing each other again. Her luan sedan was fully drawn with the black iron longbow in her hand, and the cold arrow flew straight towards her...
Countless cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she tensed her body in fear, and clenched her hands tightly into fists.

Someone pulled her clenched hand away and made her relax.Someone carefully wiped the sweat rolling down her forehead with a handkerchief.

There was a crying sound beside her ear, Yu Ruyan felt pain like needles all over her body, her head seemed to be trampled by thousands of horses and horses, it was chaotic and chaotic, now she was disturbed by the crying sound beside her ear, she had a splitting headache, endured Can't help humming softly.

"Finally awake!"

Yu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, and saw the knife guarding the bedside, and the latter was looking at her with joy, and Brother An, who was crying beside her, was the one who cried so much that she couldn't sleep peacefully. Seeing her wake up, she happily wiped the tears off her face, and said repeatedly: "Great, my sister finally woke up from the fever!"

After being led away by Xiaodao to leave the palace, Yu Ruyan became seriously ill, and her high fever persisted for three days. Xiaodao hugged her until she fell into a coma and went to countless hospitals...
A pair of slightly cold hands touched her pulse, and Yu Ruyan struggled to raise her eyes. Under the dim light, a pair of clear and warm eyes were looking at her with pity, and said softly: "The pulse is stable, but it still needs to be taken care of." Stay in bed for more rest, and continue to drink the medicine!"

Yu Ruyan stared at him blankly, as if in a dream——

The person in front of him was Yue Yu who hadn't seen or heard from him for a long time.

Staring at him blankly for a long time, she suddenly withdrew her hand from Yue Yu's, thinking of the arsenic in Gu Qing'er's antidote, her heart suddenly became cold, and the expression she looked at Yue Yu became more alienated and indifferent.

Fortunately, the light in the room was dim, and Yue Yu didn't notice that there was something wrong with her expression, so he turned around and went to the table to prescribe her medicine again.Yu Ruyan sat up with difficulty, glanced around the room, and found that it was not in the small courtyard where Brother An lived, she couldn't help asking: "Where is this?"

Xiaodao said: "This is another house I rented."

After all, he said with an angry expression, "If it wasn't for the investigation of assassins these days, the city gate is only allowed to enter but not to enter, I would have wanted to take you out of here a long time ago."

"She's so sick that she can't drive." Yue Yu said coolly from the side.

Xiaodao was anxious to take her away, he was worried that Mu Lingzhi would repent and pester Yu Ruyan again, that's why he didn't even return to Brother An's residence, and took her to hide in such a hidden place.

Of course Yu Ruyan understood what was going on in his heart, and she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart, he was the one who kept his promise the most, and he had already written the farewell letter, so why would he pester her again?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help touching the farewell letter he wrote to her next to her body, and when her hand touched the thin piece of paper, her heart throbbed and her face darkened a bit.

While heartbroken, she couldn't help worrying, what would he do if she followed the knife away?How would he deal with the furious King Liang?

Yue Yu prescribes the medicine, Xiao Dao goes out to get the medicine with the medicine list, Brother An also goes to the kitchen to make porridge for her, only Yu Ruyan and Yue Yu are left in the room.Seeing that her complexion was not good, he walked to the bed and stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, but she avoided her unexpectedly.

With his hands empty, Yue Yu's pale face showed a bit of embarrassment, and after a while he laughed at himself: "Looking at your current appearance, I guess you are almost healed!"

"Did you put the arsenic in the antidote?" The question that has been lingering in her heart couldn't help but blurted out. The sudden death of Gu Qing'er was the fuse of her break with Mu Lingzhi, and it was also a thorn in her heart that she couldn't solve. It was a mystery, and now seeing him, she couldn't help asking the first sentence she opened her mouth.

Although the light in the room was dim, she still tried her best to see the description on his face clearly, watching intently without blinking, for fear of missing the expression on his face.

"not me!"

Yue Yu's clear eyes were as clean and pure as a child's. He didn't mind her suspicion and smiled slowly: "If I did it, I will definitely admit it."

After that, he gave her a relieved smile, leaned over and began to pack the medicine box, without taking her doubts into consideration at all.

The expression in his eyes was extremely calm and fearless, and it was so pure that people believed his words inexplicably.Yu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief——

That's right, he is the most upright person she knows, he didn't hide anything about the smell last time, if he really did it, he must admit it.

Fortunately, he didn't disappoint her!

She knew that he would definitely not attack the next pregnant woman whom he had never met.

But if it wasn't him, who was the poisoner?

Thinking of this, her head started to hurt like a pinprick again, her brows could not help but to be tightly frowned, Yue Yu thought clearly, but she could understand what she was thinking at a glance, and she couldn't help sighing: "Now you are no longer a member of the palace. Why bother to think about those people and things you don't want to do!"

Yu Ruyan's heart froze, and her heart couldn't hold back the pain. Her mind was full of the pain and hatred on his face during the confrontation with Mu Ling that day. So many misunderstandings and coincidences combined together, as if a The sharp blade cut her and Mu Lingzhi apart cleanly, without any hesitation or regret!

Although she also knew what Yue Yu said was right, but her heart became more and more bitter and uncomfortable, her heart was suffocated, and her face turned ugly.

Seeing her like this, Yue Yu lit a tranquilizing incense in the room and looked at the cigarette curling up. His expression was filled with a trace of loneliness and pity, and he murmured: "Time is a good medicine to heal pain. All the pain will dissipate with time, but the process...is more painful!"

It was completely dark, Brother An cooked the porridge and brought it in to feed Yu Ruyan, Xiaodao also came back from buying medicine outside, and the door looked happy and said: "I just went out to inquire about it, and the city gate will resume traffic tomorrow. Let’s go early in the morning and go back to Qi.”

Yue Yu's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and he unconsciously looked at Yu Ruyan, sure enough, there was a hesitant and worried expression on her face.

He knew what she was worried about, so he couldn't help but said casually: "I heard that March [-]th, seven days later, is the wedding day of Princess Ninth and Young Master Mu's family. It is probably because of this that King Liang agreed to temporarily let the assassin go and restore the city gate. I heard that the marriage of the Ninth Princess to the Prime Minister's Mansion is a rare event in the Eastern Capital, and many people from other places have come to watch the fun, why don't you stay and watch the fun before leaving?"

Yu Ruyan's eyebrows twitched, she turned her head and saw the unconcealable sadness on An Ge's face, her eyes turned cold, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

But Xiaodao snorted unhappily!
After Yue Yu left, An Ge packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Yu Ruyan pulled the knife to her face and asked, "Why did you meet Mr. Yue again?"

Thinking of her previous danger, Xiaodao was still afraid, and said: "You are very ill, I went around seeking medical treatment behind your back, but no doctor would keep you, so I just wanted to try my luck, so I went to Wuwei Hospital I didn’t expect Big Brother to come back. Fortunately, he was there, so my sister saved her life!”

After speaking, he thought of something again, and continued: "Brother Da Da originally wanted to take us to live in his house, but I was afraid that my sister would not agree, so I declined him. I think the conditions here are not good, but...but I feel comfortable."

Yu Ruyan smiled knowingly, although Xiaodao was careless on weekdays, he was careful in some aspects, he didn't want to go to Yue Mansion, in the end, he was afraid that Yue Yu would know the identities of the three of them!

She patted his head and praised: "Xiao Dao is getting smarter and more capable. He has done a good job in this matter. We owe Mr. Yue too much, so it is really inconvenient to bother him!"

More importantly, she was afraid that because of the assassin, she would drag her home!
Xiaodao raised her eyebrows happily after receiving her praise, but Yu Ruyan couldn't help frowning when she remembered what Yue Yu said just now: "There are still seven days and nine princesses will marry Mu Ziyang, is there any news from Su Niang? ?”

Hearing her question, Xiaodao patted himself on the head and said angrily: "Oh, I forgot the most important thing, don't worry, Su Niang told me a few days ago that Mu Ziyang has already started to attack, just wait." , if he wants to expose his scandal in these two days, he will definitely not be able to be this son-in-law!"

"What about Su Niang? Can you secretly pick her up and send her out of Dongdu according to the pre-arranged arrangements?"

"This...was originally planned, but I've been busy these days...it doesn't matter, I will arrange for her to leave the house in two days."

Yu Ruyan's heart trembled, she knew that her illness had delayed Xiaodao, so she couldn't say anything else, but told him to be careful in what he did, so that no one would find out.

Although they didn't live in Yue's house, Yue Yu came to see them every day, carefully saw Yu Ruyan's doctor every day, and arranged different medicinal meals for her. Within three days, she was in good health.

Ever since I heard that Mu Ziyang was going to marry the princess, An Ge often cried secretly alone. When Yu Ruyan found her, she asked her worriedly if she still remembered the heartbroken man?
Brother An shook his head and said sadly: "It's not that I still remember him in my heart, on the contrary, I already hated him to the core. If he was willing to say a word for me back then, I wouldn't have been sold to Qin Xianglou by his mother. The child in the womb is just..." Before she finished speaking, Brother An stirred up the sad things in her heart, thinking of the innocent child who died in vain, her eyes became hot with hatred, and tears flowed down like a dike!

Seeing her face full of vicissitudes at such a young age, Yu Ruyan hugged her heartbroken and comforted her: "Don't worry, people are doing their own thing and the sky is watching. If a family of Mufu does bad things, there will always be retribution for them." Now, just watch!" At the end, Yu Ruyan's face was frosty!
On this day, after lunch, Yue Yu walked over when Yu Ruyan was helping An Ge clean up the stove together in the kitchen. He was surprised to see her skillfully doing rough work, but her face was calm.

Seeing him coming to the kitchen, Yu Ruyan put down the work in her hand and asked, "Young Master, what do you want me for?"

Yue Yu was about to speak, when he saw pot ashes on her beautiful nose, he couldn't help laughing out loud.Yu Ruyan looked at him suspiciously.

After Yue Yu laughed, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her in front of her eyes. She exclaimed, but still didn't understand what happened, Yue Yu took out her white handkerchief and covered her nose lightly, and wiped off the dirt on her nose. Dust, seeing her ignorant and frightened look, smiled slightly: "You once said that you would repay my kindness well, do you remember?"

His body was very close to her, the faint scent of herbs on his body was refreshing, and a pair of clear eyes looked at her close at hand, as if the brightest star in the sky fell in front of her eyes.

Panicked in her heart, she couldn't help taking two steps back to stay away from him, and said: "Of course I remember, I am really grateful that the young master tried his best to save Brother An back then. You can just tell me what the young master asked me to do." Well, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

Seeing her promise, Yue Yu's eyes flashed brightly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything difficult, but I just asked the girl to accompany me to participate in an event, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning!"

In the early morning of the second day, Yue Yu really came to pick her up early and brought her a set of scarlet dresses.Yu Ruyan unfolded her dress and looked, her eyes almost fell out——

Even though she was born in the royal family, although she didn't wear too many luxurious dresses, she has seen the luxurious and exquisite dresses of the eldest sister Yu Mingzhu, but no matter how good she has seen before, they can't compare to the one in front of her. dress.

The crimson dress is bright in color, and the fabric is light and elegant. It is woven with complicated patterns with gold thread. The neckline, sleeves, and hem of the skirt are all trimmed with gold thread. The belt in the middle is inlaid with countless crystal clear pearls. Most importantly, thousands of bright pearls are all the same size, round and smooth, with a soft pearly luster.

Yu Ruyan was lucky to recognize this kind of pearl, it is a deep sea shark pearl that can be worth thousands of gold, usually a single one is rare and rare, but now, she does not know how many of them are inlaid on this dress.

It can be said that this dress is really priceless!

Shock flashed in Yu Ruyan's heart. Although she knew that Yue Yu was rich in the world, his daily necessities of life were no different from ordinary people, and there was nothing special about him. She didn't expect that the suit of clothes he gave her today would be like this. Luxury!
Yu Ruyan didn't dare to wear such a good dress, but she thought that she would save Yue Yu's face by accompanying Yue Yu to attend the event, so she didn't refuse any more.

After changing the clothes and dresses, Brother An's eyes were already blinded before he combed his hair.

Although Brother An has been serving her all the time and is used to seeing her beauty, but today she is even more gorgeous when she is set off by this crimson dress!

Yu Ruyan herself has a beautiful face, but she usually prefers plain dresses, and rarely wears such gorgeous and eye-catching clothes. Today, she changed into this one in vain, it would be strange if she didn't make Anger's eyes shine.

Brother An exclaimed: "Princess, you are really more beautiful than a fairy descending to earth, you are really... so beautiful!"

Yu Ruyan smiled shyly. After leaving the palace, this was the first time An Ge saw her smile, and immediately praised her even more happily: "The princess is really the most dazzling pearl, but it's a pity that the Holy Majesty can't see the princess..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Brother An realized that she had said the wrong thing again. Of course, the emperor she was talking about was Yu Ruyan's father, King Qi.

Hearing her words, Yu Ruyan's eyes darkened slightly, and she said with a wry smile: "Don't think about those unhappy things in the past, I've been used to it since I was a child!"

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Brother An stepped forward to help her dress up, and straightened her black hair with a wooden comb. Suddenly, Brother An let out a low cry, his hands froze, and the comb almost fell off.

Brother An burst into tears for no reason.Seeing her sudden appearance, Yu Ruyan couldn't help turning her head to look at her curiously, and said in a daze, "Okay, what's wrong with you? But is your body uncomfortable?" After finishing speaking, she pulled her away anxiously. Brother An looked up and down.

"Princess... my poor princess!" Looking at the white hair that appeared on Yu Ruyan's head overnight, An Ge was heartbroken. Yu Ruyan was only 17 years old, but her black hair was already dyed with white hair... …

"Princess...I'll help you pull out the white hair!" An Ge sniffed, and began to pull out the white hair that grew out of Yu Ruyan's hair.

"Forget it!" Yu Ruyan stared blankly at herself in the bronze mirror, and said with a bitter smile: "If it wants to grow, you can't pull it out. Don't tell me, do you want to pluck me into a bald head?"

Brother An's tears came out again.Although Yu Ruyan has been quietly listening to Yue Yu's words for the past few days and obediently rests and drinks medicine, her heart is suffering. From the time she left the Qi Palace to the present, she has suffered so much and suffered so much. As a maidservant, it is good to keep quiet by Mu Lingzhi's side, and by the side of the one she loves. Unexpectedly, such a humble wish would be shattered...

In order to appease Brother An, Yu Ruyan smiled indifferently, and joked in embarrassment: "Now that your master has become like this, you have to find a way to comb my hair in a beautiful and concealed bun, but you can't let people See that I am a pulsatilla!"

Brother An wiped away his tears, choked up and said, "Your servant obeys!"

After dressing up, Brother An accompanied Yu Ruyan to go out. When Yue Yu, who was waiting for her at the door, saw her, his clear eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly: "Actually, red suits you very well!"

It wasn't until this time that Yu Ruyan realized that Yue Yu, who had always only worn white clothes, had also changed into a black brocade dress today. He had a handsome face, and usually only thought he was extremely elegant, but changing into clothes today turned out to be very luxurious. Incomparably handsome!
It is rare for Qingcha to see his young master in such a good mood as today, so he couldn't help but like Yu Ruyan a little bit, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, the master has good eyesight, scarlet color matches black, the master and the girl walk together, It's [-] points right!"

As soon as these words came out, Yue Yu's slightly pale face couldn't help being stained with blush, but Yu Ruyan's heart flashed with panic. According to her current description, it is really a broken flower and a willow, where Yue Yu is worthy of the breeze and the moon, He couldn't help but said with a sullen look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense about Qingcha, the young master is my benefactor, and I... don't tarnish the young master's reputation!"

When Qingcha was mentioned by her, she was terrified on the face, and she muttered in her heart, everyone understands the truth, but whoever let her master be stubborn, knowing that Miss Xiaoqing is already a member of the Third Highness, although she has been kicked out now, but It's not a perfect body, it's worthy of a young master, but who makes the young master like it and doesn't care?
He sighed helplessly, bowed his head and said, "Young one, remember, don't dare to talk nonsense!"

When Yue Yu heard the words, there was a trace of sadness on his face, and he said lightly: "Let's go, don't delay the time!"

Brother An was also brought along by Yu Ruyan, and Xiaodao ran out early this morning, but there was no one there. When Yue Yu asked about it, Yu Ruyan said that he had bought things back to Qi.

The four of them took Yuefu's carriage to the Wangyue Pavilion in the capital.

After driving for half an hour, I arrived at Wangyue Pavilion.During Yu Ruyan's time in Dongdu, although she didn't have the chance to climb the tallest building in Dongdu, she heard many people mention it, and it is a famous place in Dongdu and even Daliang.

Today Yue Yu brought her here, she stood at the door and looked up at the majestic tall buildings in front of her, feeling amazed.

As soon as he walked to the door, the shopkeeper in Wangyue Tower greeted him respectfully, bowed to Yue Yu and said: "Master, everything inside is ready, waiting for you to come."

Yu Ruyan was shocked, she didn't expect that Moon Tower was also owned by the Yue family!

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Yue Yu nodded in satisfaction, and said slowly: "How many people participated in the chess competition this year?"

The shopkeeper laughed happily and said, "Since the master held the chess competition, more and more people are curious about the news of the master. This year, I heard that the master will participate in the competition in person. I don't know how many more chess lovers come here from all over the world. One Everyone is eagerly waiting to see the demeanor of the head of the Yue family, and the rich and powerful in the Eastern Capital are not alone..."

Hearing the word chess competition, Yu Ruyan's footsteps faltered, and she suddenly remembered that today happened to be March [-]th, and Mu Lingzhi had told him before that he would take her to participate in this competition...

Yue Yu glanced at her pale face, stopped the shopkeeper from talking, and ordered: "Serve every chess player well, it's not easy coming from afar.

The shopkeeper nodded in response, and said cautiously: "The head of the house, even the crown prince and the third highness have come this year, do you want... Do you want to leave the best private room upstairs to them?"

The word 'Third Highness' made Yu Ruyan's whole body tremble, and she retracted the steps she had just stepped into the door, and couldn't help but want to go back!
Yue Yu calmly took her hand, held it tightly, and calmly said to the shopkeeper: "Everyone is equal in the chess competition, and there is no need to treat them differently! Go get busy."

The shopkeeper took the order and left, Yu Ruyan wanted to break away from Yue Yu's hand and go back, she tremblingly said: "It turns out that this chess competition is actually organized by young master, I didn't know...Young master, I want to go back first."

Yue Yu took her hand again, and said word by word: "He is about to marry the princess, and you have nothing to do with him, what are you afraid of?"

"Son..."

"This is my place, no one dares to do anything to you, don't worry, I'm here for everything!"

Yu Ruyan's heart warmed at Yue Yu's words, but her eyes still flashed with hesitation. She was not afraid of what Mu Lingzhi would do to her, she really didn't have the courage to see Mu Lingzhi again!
Yue Yu stared fixedly at her panicked and lifeless eyes, a soreness flashed in his heart, and he said slowly: "If you want me to let go, let him let go, how about..."

Yu Ruyan understood the meaning in her eyes, her heart was suffocated, her eyes inadvertently saw the exquisite carriage parked not far away, if she read it correctly, it was the carriage of Xiangfu, how could there be so few wooden carriages in such a lively place? The young master of the family, Mu Ziyang.His eyes turned cold, and his expression became firm——

That's right, since you have decided to leave, then, before you leave, let's settle all the debts and debts that should be settled today!
