Zhou Xi pursed her lips, she didn't push Luo Ran, even if she really wanted to do it. But now, no one would believe her. Zhou Xi looked at Lu Chen's indifferent expression. She wanted to defend herself, but her mouth was full of bitterness.
She really loves him.
So regardless of the family, regardless of his father's wishes, he went to the capital just to accompany him.
But now she's just a maid, and he doesn't care about his own face for her, and when he sees her falling into the water, he thinks it's his own harm.
He didn't even give her any trust.
Zhou Xi softened and knelt on the ground, her eyes were a little more wet, but she asked Lu Chen with a small smile: "If the emperor doesn't believe Xi'er, Xi'er will say more in vain. What does the emperor want?"
Lu Chen saw the wetness in her eyes, but only remembered that Luo Ran was afraid of despair in the nightmare just now, and Lu Chen's eyes were slightly cold: "If it's getting late today, then the lake water should be cold."
Zhou Xi heard what he meant, frowned and looked at him in disbelief, tears fell uncontrollably, and he heard his cool voice.
"It must also be clean."
Zhou Xi's face was instantly pale, and he stared blankly at Lu Chen, the tears that had been rolling down also stopped, and his sleeves drooped down weakly, staining the dust on the ground.
… clean…
He's talking... she's dirty!
A look of surprise flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He didn't expect that his royal brother would really give up. Seeing Zhou Xi's miserable appearance in front of him, Lu Yu tutted in his heart. Although this beauty is poisonous, she is indeed very beautiful. is privileged.
Lu Yu couldn't see the beauty weeping the most, and immediately said, "Brother Huang, this night, the lake water is freezing cold, and it will kill people."
Zhou Xi heard his words, but didn't feel grateful, Mei Mu glared at him with tears in her eyes, if it wasn't for what he just said, why would the emperor not believe her at all!
With her like this, Lu Yu not only didn't take her anger to heart, he even thought that her tearful appearance made him even more interested, so he laughed at her.
Zhou Xi lost a look of disgust, stopped looking at him, and looked away, but he didn't see Lu Yu's smile suddenly turned cold after seeing her look, and there was a hint of irony in his eyes. , but fleetingly.
Lu Chen turned the wrench in his hand with a little more thought in his eyes, and glanced at Zhou Xi, after all, he felt a little pity: "Then go to the title and think about it for three months behind closed doors in Liuli Palace. "
After speaking, Lu Chen indifferently looked away, thinking that she was still the kind Xi'er she used to be, but his expectations were too high.
Zhou Xi's face turned pale in an instant. What she is most proud of is her title. That special word means that she is special in the emperor's heart. Now, the emperor has removed it, does it mean... Actually She is nothing special.
Lu Chen no longer looked at Zhou Xi, but looked at Lu Yu with a frown: "What are you doing in the palace today?"
Knowing that Lu Chen was upset, Lu Yu had an innocent look on his face: "Look at the mother, it's not the emperor who said that the mother misses me, so let me often go to the palace to see her."
"Then why don't you hurry up?" Lu Chen scolded Lu Yu angrily.
Lu Yu touched his nose and stepped back, but when he passed by Zhou Xi, he squinted at her, but there was no warmth in his eyes. This week, Zhou Xi had been pretending to be in front of the emperor since he was a child, if he hadn't seen her with his own eyes. Pushing the concubine who was two years younger than her into the water, he was afraid that he would also believe her innocent appearance.
Tsk, he doesn't care whether it's pure or not, but if the beauty's skin is frozen blue and purple, I'm afraid it won't look good. Tossing the tassels around his waist, Lu Yu swiped a note toward the inner hall and exited the gate of Luo Yun Palace.
Lu Chen turned around and walked towards the inner hall, Zhou Xi looked at him from behind, and whispered in a very small voice, "Your Majesty..."
Lu Chen didn't seem to hear it, so he entered the inner hall, bypassed the screen, and sat beside Luo Ran. Lu Chen looked at her, she seemed to be getting used to it carefully, when she was unconscious, her breathing was shallow, her petite and thin body was stuck on the bed, even though she knew that her life was not in danger, Lu Chen couldn't help but worry.
I don't know how long I have been guarding, the night outside is getting darker, although it is still summer, but even in this hall, I still feel a little cold, Lu Chen tucked the corner of the quilt and rubbed his eyebrows , feeling a little tired.
"cough cough..."
A weak coughing sound pulled Lu Chen's mind back. When Lu Chen turned around, Luo Ran hadn't opened his eyes yet, just frowned slightly and coughed softly. "
It seemed that he heard Lu Chen's voice, Luo Ran's coughing stopped suddenly, her long and curled eyelashes kept trembling, and it seemed that she did not dare to open her eyes, Lu Chen saw her eyelashes dyed with his own eyes. Wet, with a little pain in her heart, she helped her with one hand and whispered, "Ran'er."
This sound seemed to frighten her, and the teardrops on her eyelashes fell instantly, but she also opened her eyes and looked at Lu Chen, her eyes were full of disbelief, hiding a bit of grievance, and a bit of joy. He grabbed Lu Chen's sleeve that was hanging by her hand, like a kitten scratching lightly, and said softly:
"Your Majesty... cough..."
It's just that before she could finish a sentence, she coughed again. At this time, Qing Ru brought the water over, Lu Chen took it, lifted her up with one hand, sat on her bed, and made her back against him. Holding a teacup in one hand, let her drink water.
Luo Ran stared at him timidly while drinking water, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. Lu Chen frowned, clasped her very thin waist with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "I won't go."
After a pause, he still said, "Don't be afraid."
Luo Ran's eyes instantly became bright, dyed with a layer of dampness, and there seemed to be a star in it. Lu Chen's hand holding the teacup shook, as if he was burned by her eyes. He wanted to avoid her sight, but He dropped a kiss on her forehead.
Listening to her uncomplaining, delicate and weak sentence: "Your Majesty, I miss you."
Lu Chen went to the teacup's hand, and after a pause, he finally landed on her blue silk and gently stroked: "Well."
The voice swirled around in his mouth, Lu Chen looked at the bright look in her eyes, and finally explained: "I planned to take you to the palace to escape the summer after I was busy during this time, but I didn't think you fell into the water and needed to rest. I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
It's not that I won't come to see you, so you don't have to be sad.
Luo Ran's face seemed to have a bit more blood, with a hint of hope, and looked up at him with joy: "So, the emperor is not tired of me?"
Lu Chen sighed in his heart and replied, "No."
Luo Ran bit her lower lip lightly, trying to hide her current mood, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still revealed a bit. She seemed to be like the cat he raised many years ago, leaning on his shoulder obediently and softly. Light and sweet, without a trace of impurities.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy."
Glancing at him secretly, he said, "It doesn't matter if you can't go, the emperor is here, just fine."
Lu Chen stroked her blue silk, his eyes were dark, his heart seemed to be touched, and he promised her: "Well, I will take you there next year."
He never promises people lightly. If he promises, he will do it.
Luo Ran leaned on him, covered the streamer in his eyes, and only replied softly: "Okay."
