With a bang, the door to the utility room closed.
"It's too dark." Wei Yingluo murmured.
There was a clatter behind him, and it was the sound of fire folds opening.
The candlestick on the table was lit, a flame swayed on the wick, and the warm yellow candlelight illuminated a handsome face.
With slender eyebrows, slender eyes, and equally slender fingers, he is like a pair of ancient Yashitu sketched in thin lines. He is noble and elegant, but there is a melancholy hidden between his eyebrows.
This melancholy did not damage his appearance, but made him more unique among the crowd.
"Uncle Wei said before that you were in the palace, I still can't believe it." He protected the candle with his right hand until the flickering candle gradually stabilized, "I didn't expect to see you today."
Among the six guards I met on the corridor today, Fucha Fu Heng was the one who walked in front, and the man in front of him was the second one.
"And then?" Wei Yingluo asked without looking back.
"I'm also very sad about Yingning's death." The man looked up at her back with gentle eyes, "But this is the Forbidden City, you can't mess around, you should listen to your father's words, leave the palace early, and go back to find a good family to marry. Bar… "
"Enough!" Wei Yingluo finally turned her head, her eyes were as cold as snow, "Who are you, why do you care about me?"
The other party sighed: "It's because I have a good relationship with Yingning..."
"You are not allowed to mention her name again!" Wei Yingluo interrupted him sharply, she hated many people, and most hated the person in front of her, "You and my sister had a good relationship, why did you not hesitate when she needed you the most? abandoned her?"
The anger between the man's brows was even heavier: "She is covered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sooner or later, she will enter the palace. Do you want me to wait until she is twenty-five years old?"
"No, Young Master Qingxi." Wei Yingluo said with a mocking smile, "It's not that you can't wait for her to leave the palace, but because we are from inferior people, no matter how beautiful, virtuous and smart my sister is, you The high-ranking young master will not officially marry a lower-class woman!"
Seeing that the other party was silent, Wei Yingluo took a few steps closer and forced her to ask: "What? Did I tell you what's on your mind? Your surname is Qi Jia, a noble Manchurian noble, and although your sister is not of high birth, she has a backbone. , Since it is cut in two, you have nothing to do!
Qingxi sighed deeply: "But I've been thinking about your sister..."
"Missing her?" Wei Yingluo sneered, "Then when she had an accident in the palace, you just watched... You were the only one by her side, obviously you were the only one who could help her, but you watched!"
Qingxi closed his eyes in pain. The painful past made him shiver as a brave warrior: "I... After all, I am a guard and cannot communicate with palace maids."
"I'm also a palace maid." Wei Yingluo saw his reaction in her eyes, but she didn't move at all, and said coldly, "We shouldn't communicate either, please get out of the way."
What else are you doing
When his sister needed him most, he pulled away.
If he was just playing with his sister, she hated him.
If he really loves his sister, then she hates him even more, hates this coward!
As they passed by, a sigh came from behind Wei Yingluo.
"Once every five days." Qingxi's voice sounded behind her, "I am on duty every five days. If you have any difficulties, you can come to the guards to find me!"
Wei Yingluo's footsteps stopped for a while, and then she continued to walk forward. She just put her hands on the door bolt, and before the door was opened, there were a few random beatings from outside, followed by Aunt Fang's voice: "Open the door! I'll open the door!"
Wei Yingluo was taken aback and looked back at Qingxi.
Lonely man and widow, living together in the same room, if someone really bumped into them, they wouldn't be able to tell with a hundred mouths.
Qingxi's lips moved, and he was about to say something, but a hand reached out from the opposite side, stopping what he was going to say next. Wei Yingluo said to him with silent lips: "Do as I say."
Dong-dong-dong, dong-dong-dong, Aunt Fang was still pounding on the door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened in the next second. Suddenly, a bamboo basket came over and covered her face, followed by a series of punches and kicks, accompanied by Wei Wei. Yingluo's words were slightly frightened and angry: "I told you to follow me, I told you to follow me, shameless, rascal!"
"Stop it! Stop it!" She was the only one who hit others, no one hit her. Aunt Fang fled desperately, shouting like killing a pig, "Wei Yingluo, you're crazy! Stop it, stop it! Come on, come on, help! what!"
A group of little palace maids rushed forward, you pulled your arms and I hugged your legs, finally pulling the two away.
Taking off the bamboo basket on her head, Aunt Fang looked at Wei Yingluo with a dark face: "Yingluo, you are crazy, how dare you hit me!"
Wei Yingluo snorted, her face darker than hers: "Aunt, why, how could it be you?"
Before Aunt Fang could attack, she had already knelt on the ground first, crying and crying: "Auntie, please call the shots for me! I came out to find a lost veil, but I didn't know I was being followed on the road, and I didn't know. It was a little eunuch with six impure roots, or a guard with a wicked heart. In a hurry, he had to lock himself in the utility room. Fortunately, you are here, woohoo…”
"Little eunuch with six dirty roots, or some wicked guard?" Aunt Fang laughed angrily, "Listen to your nonsense, can't you hear my voice? Or is my voice like a man?"
"I'm so scared." Wei Yingluo's shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was greatly frightened, she raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, "I didn't tell the difference for a while, but I hope Auntie forgive me..."
"Look at the injury on my arm." Aunt Fang rolled up her sleeves, revealing the green marks she had pinched out earlier, and said coldly, "How do you ask me to forgive you?"
Wei Yingluo cut her head and gave her a kowtow: "I am willing to be punished by my aunt."
So this matter was revealed. Although Wei Yingluo was still punished, it was because she beat Aunt Fang without her knowledge, and because Aunt Fang was greedy for money, the financial punishment was heavier. After the money and goods, the body is symbolically hit the board twice.
It's better than being discovered and sharing a room with a young guard.
That's not something that can be solved with a few tricks and a little money.
"Fortunately, Qingxi is a Baturu, with agile skills, he can take advantage of my troubles and escape without knowing it." Wei Yingluo was lying on the bed, the wound on her back had just been treated with medicine, and it was still burning hot. , the pain was so painful that she couldn't sleep, so she could only close her eyes and think wildly, "But, who told the secret..."
The moonlight folded in from the window, and a straight bunch fell on Wei Yingluo's bedside. She slowly stretched her hand into her arms, groped for a net from her arms, and spread it out in the moonlight to watch it quietly.
"It's not without gain." Wei Yingluo said to Luozi with soft eyes, "Sister, I've been in the palace for so long, I finally found a clue."
All kinds of past, vivid in my eyes.
Last night, the stars and the wind last night, it was also a moonlit night. She leaned on Wei Yingning's knees and watched her fingers fly, and a delicate plum blossom network gradually formed at her fingertips.
That Meihualuozi entered the palace with her sister, but did not accompany her out of the palace.
Instead, during today's fight, she fell from Aunt Fang.
"Aunt Fang." Wei Yingluo clasped her five fingers together, and clenched the plum blossom in her palm, "How can you hold my sister's plum blossom?"
