Chapter nine

The dark night sky seemed to have fallen asleep long ago, with only a few flickering stars dotting the darkness.

Standing silently in the corridor of the main hall, eyes fixed on the courtyard door. It has been three days since I returned to the garden, but I still haven't seen his figure. I dropped my reserve and waited for him. Listening to the sound of subtle footsteps, I felt a little sour in my heart.

There is also some fog.

He seemed to be aware of my presence, and his steps slowed down. He was a little happy, but he walked towards the inner courtyard without stopping.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he felt a little angry in his heart, so he went down the steps and followed him closely behind him.

I entered the room, looked at him silently through the screen, but he slowly took off his coat, lay on the bed, and treated me as an invisible person.

The grievance and anger in my heart swelled little by little, and finally went straight to my forehead. I walked to the bed angrily and stared at him angrily, but he looked back at me lightly. I couldn't hold it back anymore, and tears poured out.

After a while, he sighed softly, got up and carried me to the bed.

I turned around, turned my back to him and sobbed softly. All the grievances of the past few days were released at this moment. After a while, he pulled me over, and I looked at him with tears in his eyes. There was tenderness in his eyes, and I

My heart felt warm, and my tense body softened.

He gently held my face, pursed his thin lips and looked at me affectionately. With a straight face, I took the initiative to bring my face closer and kissed him gently. He stiffened and then responded.

Biting my lips and teeth lightly, the tip of his tongue explored deeply. I only felt that my body was soft and hot. He unbuttoned my clothes and turned over...

The window lattice was gray and hazy, thinking about everything that happened last night, I felt a little shy, but I actually came here to talk to him...

My cheeks were hot, so I pulled up the quilt to cover my face. His chuckle came from my ears. My face became even hotter, and my hand holding the quilt tightened. He pulled up the quilt with a smile, and I asked with a straight face: "

Why did you turn a blind eye to me last night?" He pondered for a moment with a sullen face, then suddenly laughed and said, "If I didn't, would you follow me?"

Feeling very embarrassed, I pushed him hard with my arm, but he still laughed. After laughing, he stared at me and said softly: "Ruoxi, please move here, this is just for you." My smile froze.

, said softly: "Without Ruoxi, she has passed away. From now on, I am just Xiaowen, and everything about Ruoxi has nothing to do with me anymore."

After a pause, he said: "You can call me whatever you want. In this courtyard, you will always be my Ruoxi."

I responded with a hum in my mouth, and unconsciously caressed his body slowly with my hands. After a while, I suddenly felt that his body was tense. I looked up and hurriedly put on my clothes. I heard his helpless bitter laughter behind me.

: "It's still so annoying."

Sitting in the yard, he carefully flipped through the book in his hand. This was his "heart-pleasing collection" that he had compiled at the beginning of the year. It was full of articles that had a thorough understanding of world affairs and were unrestrained. Although he knew that he loved Buddhism very much, he always felt that

I thought that was his way of hiding himself back then, but I didn't expect him to be so thorough.

Just when I was lost in thought, the sunlight in the book was suddenly blocked by someone. When I raised my head, it was Shisan. His face was calm, but his eyes were filled with sadness. I closed the book and asked, "What happened?"

He said in a hoarse voice: "Bago's funeral arrangements have been taken care of." He was secretly frightened and wondered: "Is there any trouble?"

His face darkened and he said lonelyly: "Sleeping in the same cave is also a kind of happiness."

The book fell to the ground with a 'pop', and with a trembling voice, he said, "I always thought you had read it away?"

Before he could speak, I shook my head and said, "Who can understand such a thing?"

He was still silent, and an indescribable sadness welled up in my heart. It turned out that everyone is equal in front of feelings, and there is no difference between men, women, old and young, strong or not. I cleared up my thoughts and said: "If now

Lu Wu is back, how are you going to settle her?"

He raised his head suddenly and said firmly: "Even if I wander around the world, I will never let you go."

Looking at the despairing heaviness in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He didn't know that the person he loved deeply was in the palace, he didn't know that his best friend had concealed Lu Wu's whereabouts, and he didn't even know that this might be him.

My dear fourth brother arranged it all.

But then I thought about it, according to Lu Wu's temperament, living silently in the cold palace would only be what she asked Yinzhen for.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to their minds. They patted the chair next to them. Thirteen was stunned for a moment, as if he had aged ten years in the past few days, and sat down feebly.

He was trapped in his sad thoughts and sat silently. I sighed softly and said, "If you accompany her to travel around the world, will she agree? If she hadn't clearly argued between right and wrong, would she have endured the pain and run away?"

His body trembled slightly, maybe my words hit the point, and this was probably what he was worried about. Although he couldn't have the handle in other people's hands, he had been so quiet for so many years, not searching aggressively, not even a trace of greenness.

He was even more depressed, and I couldn't bear it, so I opened my mouth and said, "It shouldn't be difficult for you to give a woman a new identity."

He looked confused, and after a moment, his face was happy, but only for a moment, he showed a look of defeat. He understood why he was like this, and he was secretly happy. Prince Yi, who had a keen mind in politics, was not very good at matters between men and women.

Being so helpless may be due to the mentality of being in love to the extreme and worrying about gains and losses.

He leaned back on the chair and waited quietly. After a while, he looked at me, chuckled and said, "You seem to have a good idea about this matter. What should I do?"

His face was as calm as water, but the excited light in his eyes revealed his inner emotions. I glanced at him with a smile and said: "If Prince Yi, whom the emperor relies on, is sick, and there is a suitable person beside the emperor to remind him in time, why would the prince do this?

If you are sick, what do you think the emperor will do?"

After he paused, he looked at me and chuckled. He shook his head and said, "You are the first person who dares to scheme against my brother."

After thinking for a while, he said: "There are two keys to the success of this matter. One is that your illness cannot make anyone suspicious, and the other is that I don't know if Luwu can find it." Although he knew that Luwu would definitely treat Thirteen.

I am extremely anxious about her illness, but I am still not sure that she will come out to reunite with Shisan. After all, she knows that Yinzhen will do whatever it takes to heal him. I can't give Shisan hope and then immediately let him down, for fear that he won't be able to bear it.

Such a big blow.

His smile froze on his face and he said in a deep voice: "Will Luwu come back?"

My heart sank and I was a little hesitant. I didn’t know what would happen if I did this. But at this time, I couldn’t back down. I smiled and said: “If the news of your illness is spread, she will definitely come back.

"

Things in the world are unpredictable. I sighed to myself that I was like a crow. I wanted to let Shisan pretend to be sick, but unexpectedly something really happened.

Looking at Thirteen on the couch, I secretly blamed myself for coming up with such an idea. If Thirteen is really good at anything, then I can't help but feel guilty.

Thirteen seemed to know that the protagonist had appeared, and he whispered softly in his sleep: "Lvwu,..." He bit his lip and glanced at Yinzhen quietly, when he saw him looking over with an inquiring look, he felt guilty and was busy

He turned his head and looked away.

After a moment of silence, he asked calmly: "How could the thirteenth brother fall off the horse?"

Yuhu, who was standing in front of the couch, said sadly: "These past few days, I have been in a depressed mood. After going to court, I often go horseback riding alone. I don't know why I fell down."

Thirteen has grown up freely on a horse, how could he fall off? He thought it was impossible, let alone him?

I had done something wrong and felt uncomfortable. I left the house and got on the carriage. Without looking at his face, I grabbed a cushion and leaned on it, pretending to be sleepy, and closed my eyes.

After a while, it was still quiet, without a single sound. Unable to hold back my breath, I opened my eyes and saw that he was looking at me with a pale face. I smiled at him and closed my eyes again.

The wind came in through the window, and I sat on the bed with my quilt, silently dazed. In the past two days, he acted as if nothing had happened, and he didn't pay much attention to me. I wanted to ask Lu Wu about it, but the words came to my mind several times.

mouth, and swallowed again.

He entered the room, closed the window, took off his coat, and sat by the bed. Seeing that I was still sitting upright, he said softly: "Thirteenth brother has already used the bitter meat trick."

His face turned pale, and he said with a smile: "You already know."

He said: "Lvwu has gone back."

Her heart was filled with the sudden good news. She took his hand and held it, saying, "Thirteen's suffering was not in vain."

He shook his head and chuckled, sighing softly: "I was planning to persuade her again these days, but the thirteenth brother's fall was just right."

Feeling relieved, he let out a breath and murmured softly: "If I had known it would go so smoothly, I wouldn't be so worried."

He gave me a funny look, lay down and said, "If you do bad things with good intentions, Thirteen will have to lie down for several months."

I was slightly startled, and suddenly I understood why Thirteen was defeated. He would not pretend to be sick, he would only be really sick. He did not want to deceive the emperor.

A trace of sadness came to my mind, and I sighed softly.

He pulled me to lie down and said with a chuckle: "You have given me the most difficult task, and you are planning to plot against me. This account must be settled."

I was lost in thought. When I heard this, my face felt hot. I lifted up the quilt and covered my head and turned my back to him.

He smiled hoarsely and said: "You are still so thin-skinned." Then he lifted the quilt and walked in. In an instant, the room was filled with beautiful spring scenery...

The autumn wind is cold and cold, and the chill devours everything ruthlessly.

I sat shivering in the carriage and wrapped my cloak tightly around me, but there was still no warmth in my body. Ever since I heard that Luwu was coming home, I wanted to see him, but Yinzhen said that Shisan and the others should be given some time, so

It has been delayed until now.

While I was in a trance, I suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing in, and all the hairs on my body stood up.

Ju Xiang, who was at the door of the curtain, hurriedly lowered the curtain and said with an apologetic smile: "Let me see if you can see it." Seeing the fear on her face, I patted her hand with a smile, and when she saw that I didn't blame her, she relaxed.

, looking a little happy.

When she first entered the garden, she was always puzzled. She didn't understand why Yinzhen would place such a careless palace maid in the pavilion. As the days of living in the pavilion grew longer, she understood his intention. He wanted to make Zhenxi

The pavilion has become a pure land, and I don’t want another Yutan to appear in the pavilion. After all, he did not expect the serious harm that Yutan’s death brought to me.

He sighed secretly in his heart and leaned on the soft cushion. He felt a little worried, not knowing how to tell Lu Wu about his identity. So far, Yinzhen has not asked why he became what he is today, and of course he doesn't

Do you know what Thirteen said to her?

After thinking about it, the carriage had stopped steadily. Ju Xiang opened the curtain, and a servant was waiting beside the carriage. With his help, he got out of the carriage. Shi San and Lu Wu from the mansion gate had already walked down the steps.

I looked at the two people in front of me quietly. Thirteen's face was shining with happiness, while there was a hint of surprise on the green face.

Seeing the three of them standing so blankly, Thirteen smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, come into the house. I'm freezing, but someone will blame me." His face became hot, he glared at him, and said with a slight smile: "A few days ago

I don’t know who is frowning..."

Before I could finish speaking, he had already cut off his words and said with a smile, "Good sister-in-law." Seeing Thirteen's expression of scorn, I couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy.

Lu Wu looked at me, then at Thirteen, smiling quietly.

The aqua blue bed curtains and bedding, as well as the bead curtain tassels of the same color, make the whole room look elegant and warm. The light smoke is lingering in the incense burner, and strands of quietness linger around the nose, lingering for a long time.

I withdrew my gaze and looked silently at the green grass opposite me, feeling a little embarrassed. She seemed to know my dilemma, and smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Is everything okay, girl?"

I nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Does Thirteen know that you came back from the palace?"

She may have known that I would ask this question, so she shook her head and said with a smile: "When the emperor found me back then, I really didn't want to come back, but the emperor said that although the world is big, if the prince insists on looking for me, then he will definitely find me."

I would find him. Since I really didn’t want to see him, I had no choice but to hide somewhere out of his reach. So, I lived there.”

Shocked in his heart, he suddenly understood why her face was completely disfigured when she found the fake Lu Wu. Thinking carefully, Yinzhen made such an arrangement that he could not only protect Lu Wu and Shi San, but also let Lu Wu live in his sight. Waiting for the opportunity

When you are mature, you will arrange for the two of you to get together.

Lu Wu stood up, walked to me, suppressed a smile, and said solemnly: "Girl, please accept Lu Wu's bow." After saying that, he bowed down and bowed. I stood up quickly, pulled her up, and said, "I accept it."

I cannot afford your courtesy."

By doing this, he just wanted to make up for Shisan, and to feel less guilty in his heart. He smiled bitterly and whispered to himself: "This is my fault." Lu Wu looked stunned, wondering why I said that.

There was a trace of pain in my heart. If I had no selfish motives and did not provide those so-called information to Master Ba, how could I have lived in detention for thirty years, and how could this series of events have happened.

Full of sadness, but smiling: "Do you want Cheng Huan to return home?"

Her face instantly turned pale, and there was deep sorrow in her eyes. After a while, she returned to normal and said: "The green grass has gone, and now I am Zhang Huizhi. As for Princess, I want to live in the palace, which is better for her."

God's will plays a trick on people, and the world seems to be constantly replaying the story of people who love each other and can't be together. It has been repeated for many years and many lives. A slight chill slipped through my heart. I looked at Lu Wu, this man who was once deeply moved by love.

The tortured woman, after going through countless hardships, can finally be with her lover, but she still has to endure the heartbreaking pain of being separated from her flesh and blood.

Somewhat infected by her, I began to feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. She stood up, looked at her and said: "Since you have made a decision, I won't say anything more. I will let Cheng Huan come back often." She chinned slightly and looked

Looking at me, it seemed like he had something to say, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say it.

I was confused and looked at her for a while, but she still didn't mean to say anything.

I didn’t know what was going on that would make it difficult for her to talk about it, so I said, “If you have something to say, you might as well just say it.”

There was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and she said: "I don't know if I still have the right to say this. I'm not raising this child. I'm sorry for that child Chenghuan." I sighed softly and said, "Of course you do.

Yes, don’t you want her to be your wife?”

She smiled lightly and said softly: "If possible, don't marry her into an official family in the future. I don't expect her to enjoy honor forever. I just hope she can live a safe and happy life."

He listened quietly, thought for a while, and then said: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? No matter who you marry, as long as she is willing, she will be happy. I can't say enough about this.

But it can be guaranteed that the person she marries will be the person she likes, and there will be no political marriage."

She looked slightly stunned, pondered for a while, then smiled faintly and said, "That's right."

Walking towards the door, she lowered her body and bowed again, saying respectfully: "Cheng Huan will ask you to worry more about it from now on." I nodded in agreement and said, "There's no need to come see her off."

I walked out of the courtyard gate and walked along the corridor to Shisan's study. Just after turning the corner, I saw Shisan standing silently under the corridor. A gust of wind blew by, and the hem of his robe was fluttering in the wind. I tightened my clothes.

He walked over, stood next to him, and joked: "The days of being alone are completely over, why are you still like this? Lu Wu should be sad to see it."

He turned his head, glanced at me, raised his head again, looked up into the air, maintaining the same expression as before, and said: "The jokes in the past are now in front of me. The suffering you suffered back then, I really feel today."
