Xie Ruzhuo didn't stay in Ye Guifei's palace for a long time. Now that the New Year is approaching, there will be a New Year's Eve banquet in a few days, and many things must be done by Ye Guifei herself.
Therefore, Xie Ruzhuo only asked her to greet her, and after saying a few words with her, he stood up to leave.
Concubine Ye was busy, so she did not stay. She just told her before leaving, "Your father is not in good health these days, and Xi'er has to do a lot of things. I know that you are pregnant and working hard, so you still have to do these days." You should be more considerate."
Xie Ruzhuo responded one by one, and then asked with concern, "Is my father in serious health condition?"
Concubine Ye did not hide it from her, she just sighed and said, "Your father is depressed. He has always had this problem, but it has become worse this year."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo knew that Emperor Jing's body would not be harmed at all, so he felt relieved and asked Concubine Ye to take care of herself. The two exchanged a few words, and then Xie Ruzhuo turned around and left the palace gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she saw Jade waiting there, looking at her cautiously.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't really dislike Jade. This girl was much more honest than Bai Yu, so after canonizing Xie Rulan, Grandpa specifically asked Feicui to follow her, while Bai Yu was left at home.
At that time, Bai Yu was still very reluctant. She talked about it for a long time because she accompanied her young lady to the palace for the draft, and she often made excuses at home. Fortunately, both parties had already packed their things at that time, and they separated within a few days, and Bai Yu also went to the new three-bedroom residence with him.
A few days ago, Ms. Qiao had told Xie Ruzhuo as a joke that Bai Yu had hooked up with Xie Shensi not long after arriving at her new home. After doing what she did, Mr. Lu gave her a good beating, but instead let Xie Shensi protect her. White jade. Now she is also an aunt.
Xie Ruzhuo retracted his thoughts and raised his eyes to look at Jade. Seeing her timidly greeting him, he knew that Bai Yu had something to say, so he said lightly, "Your master has already said what you want to say, so there is no need to waste any more words." .”
Jade was stunned for a moment, and then she knew her master's temper, so he probably didn't have anything nice to say. But when she thought of Xie Rulan's current situation, Jade had no choice but to kneel down and said in a trembling voice, "Fourth Miss, please save our master."
She called herself "Miss Fourth" because she was betting on Xie Ruzhuo's sympathy and the little bit of blood love she shared as a daughter of the Xie family.
Xie Ruzhuo sighed in his heart at the girl's loyalty, but said with no expression on his face, "Jade, since you have entered the palace, you should understand the rules in the palace. This fourth lady has confused her identity."
After hearing this, Jade was a little at a loss and gritted her teeth and said, "I know my fault. The princess has a lot of people. Please forgive my mistress for being disrespectful just now. She is really desperate now, so she came to beg you. If even you If you don’t help me, my master will probably die!”
Seeing how serious she said it, Xie Ruzhuo was also a little surprised. He exchanged glances with Jiang Zhu and said in a deep voice, "Go to Nuan Pavilion over there to talk."
There are warm pavilions everywhere in the harem, which are specially used for nobles to rest when they are tired.
Although it was cold in winter, the thermal pavilion was well built, so the cold wind from outside did not blow in at all.
When he came in, Jadeite immediately wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Jiangzhu, saying, "You don't have to perform these etiquettes. After all, the palace is not a respect for the prince's palace, nor can it be compared to the Xie family. Even if the princess wants to stand up for your master, she still has time. No. But if you really have something to hide, if you tell it, maybe the princess can help you with some advice."
Jiangzhu said this sincerely, and Feicui was not a brainless person. He stood up and spoke softly about what he had experienced these days.
"Although my master has entered the palace, he is just a small nobleman. How can he really enjoy the glory and wealth? Those who entered the palace at the same time as the master have all been favored. Only the master is even the emperor's I haven’t seen him face to face. The weather is getting colder these days, but the harem is full of people who take advantage of the highs and lows. At first, the master had money in his hands, but the palace people didn’t show it clearly. When the money was spent, It’s almost done, not to mention that the silver carbon in the sample was withheld, and even the food delivered was cold!”
Jade said, then took a deep breath and said, "The weather is so cold. When the silver carbon delivered is used up, there is only charcoal. It is so smoky that even a servant like me, let alone the master, will feel uncomfortable smelling it." . The master extinguished the carbon in a fit of anger and contracted the cold at night. But without an imperial doctor to see him, how could the disease get better on its own? It has become more and more serious in the past few days. Princess, you know that the master is a high-minded person and refuses to I'm lagging behind. I came to see you today because I spent most of the day dressing up in front of the dressing table, so I look good. But in fact—"
Speaking of this, Jade felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but cry softly.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't miss his old feelings at all. When he saw what she said was so pitiful, he just sighed and said, "What kind of temperament she has, I know better than you. It's just that I can't interfere in the affairs of the palace, so I went to do it so rashly." She invited the imperial doctor to embarrass me. That’s all, Jiangzhu, give Feicui the medicine you brought with you.”
It was cold in winter, and Wen Ruyu was afraid that Xie Ruzhuo would catch the cold, so she specially made pills that were harmless to pregnant women. Jiangzhu was careful, so he carried it with him every day. Unexpectedly, it happened to come in handy today.
After hearing Jiang Zhu say that this was a medicine developed by Divine Doctor Wen, Feicui immediately kowtowed to Xie Ruzhuo with great gratitude and said happily, "Thank you, Princess."
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "You don't have to thank me. You should try to persuade her more when you go back. Although the palace is said to be rich and powerful, you can't tell how many people it may be. Her heart is higher than the sky, but she is afraid that her life will be lower than paper." Bo. If I can stay here honestly, maybe there will be good fortune for her in the future."
Xie Ruzhuo meant well, and Feicui knew it in her heart, so she thanked him again and said, "I know, thank you Princess for your advice."
After Feicui left, Jiang Zhu sighed and said, "Princess, you are so kind, I'm afraid that person won't appreciate it."
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and laughed, "It's just me who worries too much. It's just that she is the daughter of our Xie family. Grandpa doesn't say it, but he is worried about it in his heart. If she can really figure it out, it will be a good thing. But if If she persists, no one can save her."
Jiang Zhushen thought so, supported Xie Ruzhuo and said, "That's true, everyone has their own destiny, and it's thanks to the princess's kindness."
As the master and servant spoke, they walked towards the palace entrance.
The winter sky was already dark quickly, but by the time Xie Ruzhuo got home, the sky was already dark.
Thousands of people lit up flaming red lanterns, and the aroma of food floated in the air, adding a touch of human touch to the night.
After all, it’s the New Year’s Eve.
Xie Ruzhuo has good intentions, but unfortunately her good intentions are destined to be regarded as a fool.
When Jade happily returned with the medicine, she saw Xie Rulan sitting on the bed in a daze.
After taking off her delicate makeup, her face was pale, her lips were chapped, and her eyes were a little hollow.
Seeing Jade come in, she immediately scolded weakly, "Are you starting to praise others and flatter others? Seeing that I'm sick, you're going to please others, right?"
She knew that Jade would not do this, but she had a fire of ignorant karma in her stomach and wanted to vent it out.
Jade greeted her carefully and apologized, "Master, please forgive me. I just went out to look for medicine." After saying that, he said happily, "Fortunately, Master, this is the medicine prepared by Divine Doctor Wen himself. Please hurry up." Eat it and your illness will be cured."
Hearing this, Xie Rulan was overjoyed at first, took the medicine and smelled it, and sure enough she smelled a refreshing fragrance inside. But then he asked suspiciously, "Why do you have the medicine prepared by Divine Doctor Wen?"
Jade didn't dare to hide it and said, "I went to find Princess Jing and got it from her."
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's name, Xie Rulan immediately smashed the medicine bottle to the ground and said angrily, "Who told you to go find her after eating everything inside and outside!"
Xie Rulan couldn't get over her hatred after smashing the medicine, so she pinched Jade's arm and cursed, "I knew you were not well-meaning, and you lied to me and said this was the medicine from Doctor Wen. This is the poison Xie Ruzhuo asked you to send, right?" , are you deliberately trying to kill me so that you can flatter your new master? You shameless bastard!"
Xie Rulan vented a bit, but after all she was out of energy, so she fell heavily on the bed again, looking at Jade with eyes that almost wanted to burst into flames.
The pills rolled to the ground, and Jade didn't dare to pick them up. She had to bear Xie Rulan's anger, while advising, "Master, don't be angry. Don't get so angry that you get so angry."
When Xie Rulan finished venting, she gasped and said, "Get out, get out of here!"
Hearing this, Jade covered her with a quilt, put down the curtain, and whispered, "Yes, I will go out to serve you dinner right now. Master, please rest first."
Xie Rulan didn't want to look at her, so she turned over and carried her on her back.
Jade sighed in her heart and looked at the pills on the ground with her peripheral vision. She was reluctant to part with them and secretly picked them up. When she went to serve Xie Rulan dinner, she mixed the pills with the food.
New Year arrived in a blink of an eye, and Xie Ruzhuo went to the palace early in the morning to pay his respects to Concubine Ye.
It snowed last night, and the palace people had cleaned the main road early and covered it with red silk, which was incredibly soft when people stepped on it.
There are areas on the side path that have not been cleaned in time, just like a snow-white quilt covering the ground, reflecting the tall and straight green pines and the proud red plums. The wind brings not only the fragrance of flowers, but also the pleasant scenery.
Xie Ruzhuo followed all the way to Concubine Ye's palace and saw her sitting on the throne talking to other concubines.
In addition to the virtuous concubines, even some low-level concubines were also prominently listed, including Xie Rulan.
Maybe it was because of the medicine she took, but she looked particularly good today, and even her eyebrows showed a bit of charm unconsciously. On the other hand, Concubine Jing next to her had a bit of anger in her eyebrows. I wonder if it was because of Xiao Junyi's treatment.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at it secretly, then withdrew his gaze and went to the middle to pay his respects to Concubine Ye.
"The daughter-in-law has met the mother-in-law."
As soon as she finished her sentence and before she could squat down, she saw that the female official beside Concubine Ye had come forward to support Xie Ruzhuo and stopped her from saluting.
Concubine Ye also smiled and waved, "Look at you, I have told you so many times, but you are still so cautious. When you are pregnant, you should focus on the fetus in your belly, so be careful."
After she said this, other people naturally did not dare to let her salute, and they all laughed in agreement and said, "Princess Jing is a person who understands etiquette. Sister is so lucky."
