Lu Chen stretched out his hand and wiped the sparkle from the corner of her eyes, and leaned over to listen to her intermittent words: "... Your Majesty... don't go... I'm afraid... I'm good... I won't make Concubine Chen angry... You don't want to come and see me... "
Lu Chen's heart ached suddenly, he knew she had misunderstood, he was busy in the previous dynasty, she thought she forgave Zhou Xi that day, and didn't want to see her again. No, that day she said that the summer was too hot, and he thought about finishing his work during this time and accompany her to the palace to escape the heat.
There was remorse in Lu Chen's eyes, no matter how busy he was, he should have come to see her. She is sensitive and tends to think too much, so how could she forget.
After Qingru brought in the candied fruit, she was afraid that the emperor would have another order, so she did not go out again. At this time, seeing him not looking tired of the little master, but a little more pity, Qingru's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly fell two lines. Tears, kneeling at Lu Chen's feet.
"Your Majesty, during this period of time, the little master did not eat tea and rice, and always woke up in the middle of the night. When the servants cleaned up the bed the next day, she would always find that half of the pillows were wet. Although the little master did not say, but the servants knew, She is afraid of what she has done wrong, and you don't want to see her again, but since half a month, the little master has lost a lot of weight."
With pity in Lu Chen's eyes, he supported Luo Ran's body, fluttering, even thinner than half a month ago. Knowing that what Qing Ru said was the truth, Qing Ru's words in his ears continued.
"The little master looks in the direction of the imperial study through the window every day. Occasionally, she wants to step out of the palace gate, but stops. She is afraid that you will be busy and disturb you. Until today, when Eunuch Li came over, the little master did not know what to do. I made up my mind and went to the imperial study to find you, saying that I was going to confess to you, and I beg you not to ignore her."
"But when I got to the Royal Garden, I met the Empress Chen, Concubine Chen insulted the little master, and the little master did not dare to refute because of her humility, but I didn't expect that the concubine Chen actually brought the little master to the river. The little master struggled to no avail, so he fell into the water."
Qing Ru lowered her head, wiped her tears, and said in a sad voice, "Your Majesty, the little lord often said that she was originally a servant in Concubine Chen's palace, and it is a blessing to be favored by you. But, monarch! The little lord is now even dead. I have to pay for it, please ask the emperor to decide for the little master! Next time, the slaves are afraid that they will never see the little master again!"
Listening to Qing Ru's words, Lu Chen only felt that his heart was trembling. Ran'er thought about it in the palace for half a month, but he took all the blame on himself, and wanted to apologize to himself? How could she have misunderstood her
Hearing the last sentence, I would never see her again. Lu Chen was suddenly awakened. A cold wind blew in from the window. Lu Chen only felt a chill behind him. It turns out that this sentence can make him so nervous
Lu Chen's face was suddenly gloomy and gloomy, he hugged Luo Ran tightly in his arms, listening to her repeated words, over and over again, her fingers could not wipe away her tears, and half of her sleeves were already wet, but her eyebrows were full of tears. The more the wrinkled, the tighter, the whole person was pale and colorless, and the body trembled slightly in his arms.
Lu Chen only felt pain in his heart like needles and needles. He was just greedy for her beauty and body. She was sensitive, how could she not notice it, how could she be so foolish as to offer her sincerity
Lu Chen saw that her expression suddenly turned into fear and despair, and cried and shouted, "Your Majesty... Where are you... I'm afraid... "
Lu Chen felt pain in his heart, he supported her with one hand, and wiped away her tears with pity: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
The beautiful woman in her arms didn't know if she heard his words, and gradually calmed down. Those delicate and fair jade hands tightly clenched his sleeves, making Lu Chen inseparable, and Lu Chen didn't want to leave.
Lu Chen comforted Luo Ran in the inner hall. From noon to Shen Shi, Zhou Xi and Lu Yu outside waited for so long, Lu Chen didn't speak, and no one dared to leave, even though Zhou Xi's face was very ugly.
When Lu Chen came out of the inner hall, the hall instantly knelt down in blackness, but Lu Chen only looked at Zhou Xi coldly, Zhou Xi's expression froze, knowing that he heard someone say that he pushed Luo Ran into the water, but , Zhou Xi's face is more resentful, Luo Ran is already like this, it is enough to enter the cold palace with an imperial decree, why does the emperor still have pity on her! Is that face so attractive to him!
"You pushed her?"
Zhou Xi bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up, took two steps forward and knelt at his feet: "If the concubine says it's not the concubine, does the emperor believe the concubine?"
Her eyes were slightly red, but there was no pity in Lu Chen's eyes: "In the eyes of the public, do you still need to quibble?"
In full view? Zhou Xi pursed her lips and stubbornly did not let the tears in her eyes fall. She glanced at her wrist, where the red marks made by Luo Ran had disappeared after such a long wait. Go, Zhou Xi felt a little chill in her heart. Is this Luo Ran so confident in her favor
Zhou Xi's voice was a little choked: "When did Xi'er promise the emperor's affairs, when did he fail to say anything? Since the emperor has ordered Xi'er not to trouble her, how can Xi'er harm her? The emperor and Xi'er have known each other for many years, what is Xi'er like? Is it true that the emperor doesn't understand?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xi really felt a little wronged and sad: "The emperor and Xi'er have been in love for many years, but they can't match the April acquaintance with Luo Guiconcubine?"
She revealed her true feelings but failed to make Lu Chen think of the tenderness of the past. Lu Chen looked at Lu Yu, frowned, and his expression was a little bad. If this was not his brother, when he ascended the throne, because of He was injured and almost died. He must punish him. Even if he knew that if he hadn't rescued Luo Ran, Luo Ran might have been more dangerous, but he was still a little uncomfortable.
"Did you see it then?" Lu Chen frowned and looked at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu said with a smile on his face, "I see, my younger brother just walked to the imperial garden when he saw Concubine Chen glance at me, and then walked to the river with the beauty who was lying inside. As soon as my younger brother approached, he saw that The beauty struggled and fell."
Lu Chen listened to his "beauty" twice, his face darkened, but Lu Yu didn't see the same thing. Speaking of this time, he "tsk" with interest and said to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty. Brother, when my younger brother went to save this beauty for you, you, Concubine Chen, didn't even change your face, as if you had expected it."
Lu Chen had long understood the cynicism of his younger brother. If he was angry, he would have died of anger. He was too lazy to care about him. He looked at Zhou Xi, but saw Zhou Xi staring at Lu Yu in disbelief. , being exposed to the public in such a way of being naked, this was the first time that Zhou Xi had met him. For a while, his face was red and white, embarrassed and angry, and there was a trace of fear and panic.
