Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 119
The night was dark and cold and windy.

Ruan Mianmian was lying on the bed without feeling sleepy, thinking about what to do?
Suddenly holding his breath, he listened carefully to the movement outside the bedroom.It seems that there are slight footsteps going away a little bit, so be extremely careful.

A smile flashed across his eyes, who else could come and go freely in this palace at this time, except Linglong?
She can't practice martial arts, otherwise the truth will be chased out to see if Linglong's actions today were meant by Feng Jiuyou, or by Gu Ruoying in Nuanyue Palace.

In the palace, Linglong turned towards Jing'er in Nuanyue Palace like that, which showed that Linglong knew very well that she was not worth mentioning as a princess in Feng Jiuyou's heart.And Gu Ruoying in Nuanyue Palace is Feng Jiuyou's heart and soul.

Sitting up from the bed, Ruan Mianmian began to practice with her eyes closed, trying to see if she could break through the acupuncture points.She failed again and again, which made her a little frustrated.

Before I knew it, my forehead was already covered with sweat.Ruan Mianmian didn't want to give up after wiping the sweat off her forehead with her hand.

Tonight in Jiuyou Palace, apart from those hidden places outside Hou Zai, Linglong in the bedroom is not there, it is even more impossible for Feng Jiuyou to come back, and she can boldly try to break through the acupoints with kung fu.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Mianmian, who was sitting on the bed, trembled slightly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.This acupuncture technique, after so long, she still can't break it.

Annoyed, Ruan Mianmian wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth.She didn't believe it. After resting for so long, although the internal injuries were still there, her body was no longer weak.

With such a physical condition, it is impossible for her not to break through the acupuncture points that Feng Jiuyou tapped.

There was more and more blood on the corners of the lips, and in the dark night, that charming face became paler and paler. If it was in the daytime, you would definitely be able to see the fine and dense veins on it.

With a breath settled in his chest, Ruan Mianmian tried to avoid hurting himself to attack the acupoints.Beads of sweat flowed down his forehead and slid into the corner of his mouth, tasting the salty taste.

The cheek muscles were twitching slightly, Ruan Mianmian gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort in her body, and tried to exercise and adjust her breath round after round, but she refused to bow her head and admit defeat.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth, Ruan Mianmian quickly opened his eyes and looked into the bedroom.It was only then that she remembered that Linglong was not in the bedroom at the moment, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

The body fell limply on the bed, and the tightly closed eyes slowly opened at some point.Even in such a dark night, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Taking a breath, Ruan Mianmian sat down slowly again.After another round of exercise and breath adjustment, the whole person relaxes.

Finally breaking through the acupoints and gathering Qi in the dantian, Ruan Mianmian's body directly left the bed and sat outside the gauze curtain.His eyes were as bright as glass, and he lifted his breath and fell back to the original place.

Ruan Mianmian started tidying up the room while Linglong was out on errands and hadn't come back yet.The blood stains on the bed could not be wiped off, and Linglong would notice if the quilt was changed.

Walking off the bed and opening the gauze curtain inside, she went to the outer room of the bedroom, looking at the round wooden table in front of her, Ruan Mianmian stepped up and leaned forward slightly.

With a crash and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, Ruan Mianmian fell to the ground.

And all the celadon jade cups on the table fell to the ground at this moment. Even though the ground was covered with thick blankets, the quilt teapot was smashed to pieces due to the collision just now.

In a panic, Ruan Mianmian took out the quilt she had prepared a long time ago from behind her, and quickly covered her arm that was cut by the sharp gap in the porcelain cup.

But in the blink of an eye, there was a sound of footsteps outside.Besides the sound of footsteps, there was also movement in a dark place not far away, and they all gathered towards the bedroom.

The door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Ruan Mianmian leaned palely on the round wooden table with her arm covered by the brocade quilt, and the maid outside ran in quickly, her expression flustered.

"Princess, what's the matter with you?"

Helping Ruan Mianmian up from the ground, the maid looked her over from head to toe.Noticing that her exposed arm was bleeding at the moment, and seeing the tiles all over the floor, she instantly understood.

The maid hurriedly called someone in to clean the wound on her arm. After the lamp was lit, Ruan Mianmian noticed that she had never seen the maid in front of her.

After bandaging the concubine's arm, seeing the concubine looking at her, the maid hurriedly explained: "Sister Linglong said that she has something to do, she has to go out tonight, and let the slave wait outside."

Ruan Mianmian nodded, with a gentle look on her pale cheeks: "What's your name?"

The maid quickly lowered her head, she was about 15 years old, her eyes were very bright: "Hui Wangfei, this servant is called Hsinchu."

"Hsinchu." A smile appeared in Ruan Mianmian's eyes, and he murmured to himself: "The east wind made a clever move to mend the remnant mountain, blowing and adding several poles in one night. Half-dressed, especially half-dressed, the dragon is afraid of the cold spring."

Hsinchu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head to look at the indifferent Wangfei in surprise.Those eyes were full of joy.

Although she doesn't understand poetry, the name Hsinchu was chosen by her father according to the situation at the time.Hsinchu material Qiao is afraid of the cold spring, and as her name suggests, she is especially afraid of the cold.

"Princess, it's still long. This servant will help you to rest." Hsinchu said softly, quickly covering up the joy in his eyes.

Ruan Mianmian glanced at her and nodded slowly: "After tidying up here, let's go down, it's cold at night, Hsinchu."

Hsinchu was slightly taken aback, the tip of his nose was slightly sour.Smiling and nodding yes, he greeted several maids waiting outside to clean up the mess outside the palace, and then slowly retreated.

When she woke up the next day, Ruan Mianmian only felt refreshed.After breaking through the acupoints and being able to exercise, there are many opportunities to leave Jiuyou Palace.

In this way, Ruan Mianmian was not in a hurry.What she was thinking about was how to take her mother away from the prime minister's mansion without anyone noticing, and without leaving anything behind.

On this day, Ruan Mianmian did not see Linglong, who came over from Hsinchu last night to serve her in the bedroom.

Right now, Hsinchu is dressing her up.However, his eyes were a little dull, staring straight at the figure in the bronze mirror, motionless.

Ruan Mianmian didn't notice that Hsinchu was in a daze at first, so she called faintly, "Hsinchu."

I didn't hear Hsinchu's answer for a long time, so I turned my head slightly.Turning his head, he saw Hsinchu holding a sandalwood comb, his eyes slightly widened, looking at himself in the bronze mirror.

Coughed lightly, and reminded Hsinchu, who was staring at her in a daze, with a coughing sound: "Hsinchu, if you comb my hair like this every day, I'm afraid I need to do it myself."

"What?" Hsinchu was slightly taken aback, wondering what the princess said?
Ruan Mianmian smiled slightly at her dazed look, and with this smile, the sandalwood comb that Hsinchu was holding fell directly to the ground.

Sighing slightly, Ruan Mianmian pulled the scarlet veil over her face from the counter next to her, got up and walked outside.

Only then did Hsinchu regain his senses, and hurriedly said: "Princess, I haven't combed it yet, slave... slave didn't do it on purpose, don't be angry."

Ruan Mianmian didn't turn her head back, her voice was gentle and sweet, with some warmth in her indifference: "I don't blame you, but your concentration is not enough."

Hsinchu's cheeks flushed instantly, her concentration was indeed not enough.

Wang Hao's face, because she was worried about Wang Hao's injury last night, she didn't take care of it.Even if I didn't take care of it, I still kept wandering while doing things.

But today, in broad daylight, it's hard for her not to lose her mind when she looks at Wang Hao's face like this.

I have seen the portrait of the princess from Sister Linglong long time ago. Looking at the person in the portrait, I already feel like a fairy.Looking at the real princess now, she almost didn't know who she was.

With such a beauty, it's no wonder that His Royal Highness asked for the imperial concubine within a month after bringing her back to the manor.

Compared with the imperial concubine, Hsinchu thought back to the appearance of the imperial concubine he had seen before, and after a little comparison, he felt that it was already incomparable.

When Feng Jiuyou came over, Ruan Mianmian was sitting on the soft couch in the Nuan Pavilion reading a book.She doesn't want to be a female worker right now, and she can't go out blatantly.

Reading books is the best way to kill time.

She was not surprised by Feng Jiuyou's arrival, she said she was reading in this warm pavilion, rather she was waiting for Feng Jiuyou to come over.

His Highness who hasn't returned overnight will not tell her where he has gone, but based on Feng Jiuyou's previous warning not to allow her to hurt himself, he will definitely come over for her actions last night.

Sure enough, after reading a book for a while in the afternoon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the Nuan Pavilion.A trace of indifference appeared in Ruan Mianmian's eyes, and she didn't raise her eyes.

When Feng Jiuyou came in, Ruan Mianmian felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards her face.Before she had time to put down the book in her hand, Feng Jiuyou's wrist was already grasped.

He raised his eyes to meet those peach blossom eyes, which showed undisguised anger and shock.Ruan Mianmian frowned faintly, and decisively chose to speak before Feng Jiuyou got upset.

"I didn't mean to hurt myself. I just got up to drink water at night and accidentally bumped into a chair before I fell. It wasn't intentional."

After speaking, Ruan Mianmian looked at Feng Jiuyou quietly.She wanted to say a few more words, but felt that the more she said, the more she could explain clearly.

But, that's not her style.Feng Jiuyou is as careful as a hair, and she will definitely find out that she is deliberately covering up something.It might as well be like this, the "facts" have already been told, whether you believe it or not depends entirely on Feng Jiuyou's attitude.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian wished she could leave Jiuyou Palace immediately, and then take her mother and Lian'er to enjoy the rivers and lakes.

Tao Hua's eyes are not the usual lazy and evil, as if they are covered with ice and snow, with a light glance, the coldness in the eyes can almost freeze the whole body.

Ruan Mianmian slowly lowered her eyes, stood where she was and let Feng Jiuyou stare at her.Feng Jiuyou didn't speak, but took her hand.

He glanced coldly at Hsinchu behind him, Hsinchu shivered in fright, and quickly backed out.

Not knowing what Feng Jiuyou wanted to do, Ruan Mianmian could only stand still.Eyelashes like black butterflies drooped quickly. If Feng Jiuyou was testing her pulse, she really couldn't hide it.

She was able to hide it before because there was no internal injury at that time, but now, she can't hide it at all.

The slender eyelashes covered the flash of panic in his eyes, and he could only force himself to stand calmly in place, preventing Feng Jiuyou from seeing her nervousness.

The clothes on her arms were roughly ripped apart by Feng Jiuyou, and she panicked, but Ruan Mianmian didn't dare to avoid it.Feng Jiuyou's eyes flickered slightly, and her eyes slowly fell from her face to her white arms like jade.

Looking at the one-inch-long wound that was slightly crooked, the thin lip line was slightly pursed, and it took a long time before he said coldly: "I didn't see you used to get up to drink tea in the middle of the night."

Seeing that Feng Jiuyou didn't go to check her pulse, Ruan Mianmian's worried heart was slightly relieved.With eyes flickering slightly, Ruan Mianmian said, "I ate more cakes at the dinner yesterday, that's why it happened."

A gleam of light flashed across Tao Hua's eyes, Feng Jiuyou opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, and directly pulled Ruan Mianmian back to the soft couch and sat down.
