Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 32 Awakening
In the Nuanyue Palace, the noble concubine Gu Ruoying was sitting behind the gauze curtain. Although it was scorching summer, her room was still airtight.

The court ladies and eunuchs knelt on the ground outside, and not far away were teacups, bowls and chopsticks scattered all over the floor.A court lady quickly ran in from the outside, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has come down."

The figure behind the gauze curtain trembled suddenly, and Gu Ruoying's fingers trembled slightly: "Jing'er, you, come in."

The court lady who was kneeling at the front quickly got up: "Your Majesty."

Gu Ruoying bit her red lips, sitting indoors still wearing a bamboo hat.The figure trembled slightly, looked at Jing'er and said: "Let them clean up quickly, please...Please ask His Highness Ninth Prince to rest in the outer hall."

The eunuchs and maids were nimble, but they had already cleaned up in a short while.The entire Nuanyue Palace has returned to its original appearance, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Jing'er looked at her mistress and asked, "Miss, do you want to change clothes?"

"it is good!"

Just as Jing'er nodded, Gu Ruoying suddenly said, "No need, that's it! Jing'er, after a while the Ninth Prince will arrive at the outer hall, you tell everyone to go down and just bring him in."

Jing'er nodded and walked out quickly.

Gu Ruoying sat on the couch, her face pale.There was a trace of shame and unwillingness in the dark and bright eyes.He finally came to see her in the palace, but why did she become like this now?

The murderer who shaved her head and left her with red marks on her face, she must have her body cut into pieces!There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, and his nails almost sank into his palms.

Jing'er ran in quickly, her expression a little anxious: "Your Majesty, Ninth...His Highness Ninth is gone."

Gu Ruoying was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly lifted the bamboo hat and glared at Lian'er: "What did you say?"

Jing'er hurriedly knelt down: "Yes, it was the emperor's Eunuch Dequan who came suddenly and said that it was His Royal Highness Xuanjiu who came to the imperial study."

After being stunned for a while, Gu Ruoying nodded, and slowly put on the bamboo hat again.A gleam of coldness flashed across his eyes, he paused and said: "Jing'er, ask someone to go to the imperial study room to guard, and if His Highness Jiu comes out, please invite him over."

The people of Nuanyue Palace stood guard outside the imperial study room without blinking their eyes. They didn't see His Royal Highness Ninth Prince come out of the imperial study room until sunset.

After some inquiring, I found out that His Royal Highness Jiu had already left before they came.The maid who came to inquire about the news was trembling at the moment, walking on the road to warming up the Moon Palace, each step was extremely long.

Seeing that the person who went to inquire about the news had not returned yet, Jing'er left the Nuanyue Palace after a while.I met that court lady on the road, and just as she was about to reprimand her, a faintly smiling voice came from beside her: "Isn't this Miss Jing'er next to the imperial concubine?"

Jing'er smiled slightly, and said respectfully: "Lian'er has met Mr. Zixu."

Zixu smiled, and glanced at the maid next to him, and the palace lady left knowingly, Zixu then approached Jing'er, and whispered a few words in her ear. ,

Seeing Lian'er's pale cheeks, Zixu took a step back, and said softly: "I have brought the words, and I hope Miss Lian'er will tell the imperial concubine."

Ruan Mianmian woke up leisurely, smelling a faint fragrance from the tip of her nose.He opened his eyes almost instantly, and quickly looked around at the surrounding environment.

Black gauze curtains, the room is very big, especially the bed under him, it is ridiculously big.And this room was neither familiar nor unfamiliar to her.

Sitting up quickly from the bed, there was a pain in the chest, and then I remembered everything that happened before the coma.Before he had time to think about it, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Feng Jiuyou was still wearing the scarlet robe, he was extremely beautiful, but also had a hint of evil.A pair of slender peach blossom eyes, even with a cold face, there is a hint of charm.

Ruan Mianmian, who was about to get out of bed and leave, froze when she saw Feng Jiuyou who suddenly opened the door and entered.It took a long time to find my own voice: "The daughter of the people, Mu Mianmian, met His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Feng Jiuyou's eyes, and he strode to the bed, looking down at her condescendingly: "You are injured, rest first."

She doesn't want to think about that night anymore, but now she is allowed to rest here?Ruan Mianmian's face was pale, with a look of fear and anxiety in his eyes: "Your Highness Ninth Highness, women are fine, just"

"Why, do you want me to say it a second time?" Feng Jiuyou said in a bad tone, staring at her with a cold face and frowning, his gaze swept across her chest as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Mianmian was even more ashamed, she reached out her hand to cover her chest in embarrassment, and looked at him vigilantly and pleadingly.

Feng Jiuyou didn't wrinkle any tighter, her eyes darkened.The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared.

Ruan Mianmian leaned over and lowered her head to get close to the bed, her voice was so charming: "You don't have to keep reminding my highness of that night, otherwise my highness might not be able to resist wanting you again!"

Ruan Mianmian's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly shrank back into the bed, as if in a vigilant gesture.Feng Jiuyou glanced at her disdainfully, turned around and strode out.

After a while, two maids came in, holding the washing utensils in their hands. Seeing that the person in the room of His Highness Ninth Prince was the concubine who was laid to rest, they were stunned.

But in a blink of an eye, contempt appeared in his eyes again, and his attitude was not very polite: "Your Highness asked your servants to wait for the girl to wash up, and I will go to the front hall for dinner later."

Ruan Mianmian directly sent those two maids away, and things went well, how did it become like this?
She managed not to show her feet in front of Feng Jiuyou, but according to Feng Jiuyou's dislike for her, how could she be allowed to live in Jiuyou Palace?
She was indeed betting her life with that arrow, and Ruan Mianmian, who was powerless, couldn't dodge the three deadly arrows.In order to convince Feng Jiuyou, she had to risk her own life.

She lowered her head and glanced at the wound on her chest. The wound has been bandaged now, and one-third of the arrow has penetrated into her skin. Even though she has martial arts, she still feels raw pain.

In order to make the situation more realistic, she even fainted on purpose.But I didn't expect that after waking up, it would be like this.

Seeing the big bed under her, Ruan Mianmian felt a chill in her heart.Quickly leave the bed and walk back and forth in the room.

Suddenly thought that this is Jiuyou Palace, this is Feng Jiuyou's bedroom, if she is too calm and composed, there will be many spies around here.

If she reported her situation to Feng Jiuyou, her arrow would be in vain.

Sitting at the table pretending to be weak, a little exercise made his face pale.Poured himself a cup of tea, and Ruan Mianmian drank it carefully.

Holding the teacup in both hands, the afterglow of the setting sun outside spilled in through the embroidered window sill, letting out a stream of light.

After much deliberation, Ruan Mianmian couldn't understand why Feng Jiuyou kept her here, was it because of her change?
If so, Xiu frowned, looking at the swirling tea leaves in the cup, she suddenly had an idea in her heart.

Pushing open the door, I saw the two maids guarding the door. Seeing her open the door, the two maids looked at each other, and said in a very rude voice, "I just thought of eating now, it's gone!"

Ruan Mianmian stood up with a slight smile, not caring about their attitudes at all.Just about to go out, the two said in unison: "Your Highness has ordered, without his permission, girl, you can't leave this room for half a step."

Ruan Mianmian frowned, was she under house arrest in disguise?Why is he?
It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.Ruan Mianmian smiled, and sure enough, she backed away, looked at the two of them and said, "Really, what if I want to see His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

The two maids looked at each other, and saw disdain and contempt in each other's eyes: "Who do you think you are, a woman who has been taken care of by His Highness Ninth Prince, if it wasn't for His Highness's kindness to save you, do you think you are still alive right now?" Can I live here? Does His Highness the Ninth Prince say that he can see him if he wants to?"

Eyebrows raised slightly, Ruan Mianmian looked at them, and said in a calm voice, "Is that so? If that's the case, those two will stay here for a while, and I'll go to rest."

Back off and close the door.

Seeing Ruan Mianmian's movements, the two maids were too shocked to speak.

Ruan Mianmian retreated into the room and walked around the room.Leaving two maids to guard her, they obviously believed that she had no martial arts.

But she can't just be under house arrest like this, she has nothing to do with Feng Jiuyou at this moment, and she has no reason to stay here.

Now that she believed that she had no martial arts, she made him believe it even more.Moving the stool to the right window, being careful not to disturb the two maids guarding outside, Ruan Mianmian stood on the stool, and then gently opened the window.

"What is Mu girl planning to do?"

Zixu stood outside the window, holding a long sword in his hand.He was suave and suave, but now there is a little sweat on his forehead, and his cheeks are slightly rosy, he should have just finished practicing.

Ruan Mianmian smiled at him with a soft voice: "Didn't this young man see it? I'm so hungry right now, I want to go out and find something to eat."

Zixu glanced to the side, and said with a smile in his voice, "The door is over there, why don't you go?"

Ruan Mianmian pointed to the door, frowned and said, "They said that His Highness the Ninth Prince would not allow me to take half a step out of here. I missed the meal time. There is no other way but this."

"Since it's His Highness's intention, I advise Miss Mu to stay in the room obediently." Zixu smiled, and a gleam flashed across his bright black eyes.

With a soft "oh", Ruan Mianmian said: "Since His Highness Jiu saved me in the suburbs, naturally he wouldn't want me to starve to death in his palace."

Zixu followed her thinking, what Ruan Mianmian meant was that if she didn't go out, she would starve to death if she waited here.Even though His Highness saved her, it was like not saving her.

He had just finished his sword practice and wanted to come over to see who the person he brought back was Ruan Mianmian who was wearing men's clothes.Surprised at first, and even more surprised after seeing her actions.

When he got married that day, he remembered clearly that the woman was ordinary, but extremely stubborn.Enduring all the humiliation and Nine Treasures worship, after being dismissed, she asked to leave without crying or making noise in the court hall.

No wonder, His Highness suddenly became interested in her.

Now it seems that it is really interesting.

Stepping aside a little, Zixu watched Ruan Mianmian, who was dressed in men's clothes, carefully jump down from the window.Seeing that her body was thin and her face was bloodless, thinking that she was still injured, she hurriedly reached out to help her.

After standing still, Ruan Mianmian took out her hand from him without a trace, smiled and said to him, "Thank you, young master."

Facing such a woman, Zixu's heart couldn't help softening, looking at Ruan Mianmian who was smiling but distant, he said: "It's just a little effort, but Zixu is His Highness's bodyguard."

Ruan Mianmian thought that he could practice martial arts near here with a sword, and said that he was Feng Jiuyou's bodyguard, probably because the two had a very close relationship.

Ruan Mianmian was about to leave when Zixu said, "Your Highness is reading in the study, if Miss Mu wants to see His Highness, Zixu can take you there."

Ruan Mianmian smiled at Zixu and said, "Thank you so much."

Neither humble nor overbearing, neither delicate nor artificial, Zixu became more and more curious about Ruan Mianmian.Those rumors about the Fourth Miss of the Chancellor's Mansion, it seems that except for that ordinary face which is more suitable, everything else is false.
