married daughter

Chapter 335 Chapter 393~394 The only one in this life
When the chief eunuch Detai arrived at the Hall of Chun'an, Ruan Yunting was leaning on the kang with a delicate brass hand stove, reading a miscellaneous book against the big soft pillow covered in dark purple satin. Stand at the door.Seeing Detai, they all saluted and said, "Eunuch De."

"En." Detai said in a high-pitched voice, flicking his whisk: "You guys go down first."

"Yes."

The little maid bowed and stepped back.

Ruan Yunting also stood up and went outside to salute with a smile: "Eunuch De is here."

"Oh, Miss Ruan, you can't do this. How can a slave accept your gift?" Detai bowed his knees and returned the gift with a smile on his face, and said: "The slave is here to pass on the emperor's instructions. The emperor said that the girl is in the palace these days. It's time to go back to the mansion, and Mrs. Xu might be in a hurry."

Ruan Yunting hurriedly said: "My minister's order is respected." Fu said politely to Detai again: "I have been taken care of by the public on weekdays."

"Where is it, the girl is too polite." Detai took two steps out: "So, the servant will send the girl out of the palace?"

"It's so helpful, father-in-law."

Ruan Yunting grabbed the fox fur and put it on, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.In order to meet both sides and satisfy both the Ninth Prince and Lu Guogong, her idea to the emperor was to declare Lu Wenshan to be executed externally, and internally to show Lu Guogong's kindness, allowing him to send Lu Wenshan out of Liangcheng and not come back.

Now that the emperor is willing to let her go, it means that things are going smoothly and the play is over, so I am not afraid that she will leak the matter.

Ruan Yunting followed Detai to the garden, got into a small carriage surrounded by blue cloth, and went all the way to the palace gate, changed to a carriage at the palace gate, said goodbye to Detai, and went straight to Xu's house.

These days in the confinement of the palace, she is like a bird kept in a golden cage. Although she is provided with delicious food and drink, she is not free at all. Among them, Xu Xiangwan came to visit her once, and the rest of the time , she can only read books for self-entertainment, the two little maids arranged by Detai are all gourds with their mouths sawn off, and a stick can't make a fart, she is really bored, now lift the curtains a little to see Looking at the street scene, those who buy and sell at the market, those who pour sugar and sell wonton noodles... The strong breath of life rushed to her face, and she couldn't help smiling.

The carriage crossed the streets and alleys, and slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Xu family. The Han Bin family who had been waiting for a long time came up to meet her, set up a red lacquered wooden stool for her and said, "Young lady is back."

"Mother Han." Ruan Yunting smiled softly.

Han Bin's family took out a roll of silver bills from his sleeve and stuffed them into the little eunuch who was driving the car, "It's cold and freezing, so I'll trouble my father-in-law to go. I'll buy some money for my father-in-law to drink and eat."

The little eunuch thanked him with a smile on his face, took the bank ticket, and drove back to the palace to return to his life.Han Bin's family supported Ruan Yunting up the steps.

"The kung fu girl who blinked has lived in the palace for eight days, are you in good health?"

"Everything else has recovered, but the sense of taste is still a bit poor, and the taste of everything I eat is very bland. I still need to continue to take care of it."

Han Bin's family said distressedly: "The girl is too worried, and she depends on you for everything. I will go back to my ancestors later. Are you going to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment?"

"Mother Han said yes, but I'm in the palace, and several imperial physicians showed it to me, but it didn't work. So I want to ask the disciple of the Water God Physician to show it. It's likely to be useful."

Han Bin's family smiled knowingly, looked at Ruan Yunting meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Miss, go back to the old lady, I see that this will work."

Seeing her expression, Ruan Yunting felt a little hot.It’s okay to say this before, since that day, as long as you see Lan Zhou for treatment, even if she doesn’t have any other thoughts, these people will feel blush and heartbeat when they make a joke.
"elder sister!"

Just as she was thinking, Ruan Junlan ran towards her. When she saw Ruan Yunting, she took her hand and looked around her without saying a word. She frowned and said, "You have reduced a lot. Living in the palace is fine. Is it? I blame the Ninth Prince that day. He dragged me away and threw you there. It was useless for me to struggle. Sister, are you angry at me?"

"Which will happen." Ruan Yunting said: "I know you have no choice, besides, there are so many things that you care about between us. Don't think too much about it."

While talking, the two had already entered the gate of Pine Age Hall. Thrush saw Ruan Yunting from a distance, lifted the curtain and preached together: "Miss Ruan is back." Give the purple fox fur to Shu Cui.

Bypassing the screen and entering the Nuan Pavilion, the old lady had already greeted her. She supported Ruan Yunting's arms with both hands and said with tears in her eyes, "Ting'er, you may be back, please ask grandma to have a look."

"Old ancestor." Ruan Yunting bowed her knees and saluted.

The first wife, the second wife and the third wife also came to the front at this time, and asked for warmth without distinguishing the truth from the fake.

After Ruan Yunting answered one by one, she was held by the old lady to sit next to her on the kang.

The eldest lady said: "Unexpectedly, the emperor ascended to the next rank, and by disposing of Lu Wenshan, it can be regarded as a sigh of relief for our Brother Lan."

The eldest wife is a talkative person, and she didn't mention Lu Wenshan because she wanted to tie Ruan Yunting because she was afraid of embarrassing her by bringing up the past.

Ruan Yunting nodded slightly, and smiled at the eldest wife.

The second wife lowered her eyes and remained silent.

The third wife said: "I just don't know if beheading Lu Wenshan will have an impact on our family. After all, Lu Guogong is such an old man, no matter how bad the child is, being a parent will still hurt."

The third wife was telling the truth, but bringing this matter up on this occasion disturbed the warm atmosphere of the family reunion just now, and it was a bit inappropriate.

The purpose of the third wife was clear to everyone, the first wife and the second wife didn't talk, they only looked at what the old lady wanted.

But the old lady said: "The grievances between our Xu family and the Lu family have not lasted for a day or two, even if there is no such case, you will be kind to us as the Lu State Guild, and Concubine Lu will persecute our sister Meng less? Besides, Sister Ting is innocent in the first place, and Lu Wenshan has repeatedly offended her, so killing him this time is justified."

Glancing at the third wife, he glanced at the first wife and the second wife with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We are both Xu family members, we must know the truth that one prospers and the other loses. Don't think that if you don't do your own thing, you will be fine. Talking about it behind your back, the most taboo thing among big families is to dismantle each other, you know, if we are such a big family, it is impossible for an outsider to defeat it at once, and internal strife will soon arise."

"Yes. Daughter-in-law would like to follow the instructions." The three wives all saluted, and Ruan Yunting followed suit.

The old lady said: "Ting'er is not in good health yet, go back and rest, and make preparations along the way, follow me to the prime minister's mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms tomorrow."

Ruan Yunting was taken aback, and looked at the old lady suspiciously.The three wives were also surprised.The third wife frowned, and gave Ruan Yunting a jealous look. The old lady didn't bring her real granddaughter with her, she took Ruan Yunting instead!Her Xia'er is not as good as her! ?The first wife and the second wife looked at each other, and they both understood.After all, the old lady loved Ruan Yunting.

"What is Ting'er still doing in a daze? Go and rest quickly. You've been away for a few days, and the little ones in the Jingsi Garden miss you very much."

"Yes, thank you ancestor for your compassion. Ting'er will leave first." Ruan Yunting bowed respectfully, saluted the three wives separately, and was about to leave the room.

Ruan Yunlan smiled and said to the old lady: "Since that's the case, the grandson has also retired."

"Go, I've been making noise and missing your sister all day, so hurry up and talk."

After Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan left together.The eldest lady squatted down and sat on the Ruyi flower beside the heated kang, and gently beat the old lady's legs, "Old ancestor, if you have any good news, tell your daughter-in-law quickly, don't hide it alone."

The second wife took the ginseng soup base from Han Bin's family and gave it to the old lady: "Yes, the old ancestor will tell us quickly, is there any kindness from the prime minister's wife?"

"You two are really shrewd." The old lady took the lid cup with blue and white carp playing in the water, gently stirred the ginseng soup inside with a white porcelain spoon, and said, "I have some friendship with the prime minister's wife. But I mentioned Sister Ting a few days ago, so I said I'll bring it to her for a look next time."

"The unmarried member of Prime Minister Gongsun's family is the fourth son?" The second wife asked hesitantly.

The old lady nodded, "Fourth young master, Brother Zhu, although he has revealed some notorious reputations in the past two years, he is also from a famous family, and he is also considered talented, and he is right in line with us."

The eldest lady hesitated and said: "But after all, he likes to draw pictures of erotic palaces. In recent years, the name of the Seventh Young Master Wangchun has become more and more famous. Although everyone knows that they don't say it, no one knows the truth about the Seventh Young Master Wangchun. As for identity, if Ting'er followed him, would she..."

The third wife curled her lips: "It's true that Ting'er is talented and famous, but her family background is not high. Besides, since she broke up with her husband in front of the palace, although people outside don't criticize her, they still keep her at a respectful distance."

Although the third wife's words were yin and yang, they were telling the truth after all.The old lady frowned when she heard the words, and said: "Brother Yu has been in his twenties for a few years, and now he doesn't even have a concubine's room. The prime minister's wife is also very anxious. Ting'er's life is as beautiful as a flower and she has always had a concubine. Talent and fame, and our Xu family as the backstage, after all, they won't lose money."

"What the old lady said is true." Seeing that the old lady seemed to have made up her mind, the eldest lady hurriedly greeted her.

The third wife curled her lips even more dissatisfied, but remained silent.

When Ruan Yunting returned to Jingsi Garden, it goes without saying that the girls were happy.The cook at Zhao Linmu's house cooked some good dishes, and the lunch was just served in the house, when a little girl came outside to report:

"Girl, Lord Jun is here."

Ruan Yunting paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and found that her heartbeat started to speed up in disappointment.The white cheeks that were originally white after recovering from a serious illness also became rosy.

While in a daze, the door curtain was lifted, and Jun Lanzhou walked in quickly.Seeing that Ruan Yunting was sitting at the Eight Immortals table unscathed, she stopped slowly.The twinkling peach blossom eyes were full of concern and scrutiny, and after looking at her carefully for a long time, he said, "Are you in good health?"

"It's much better." Ruan Yunting's pretty face flushed, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"not yet."

"Then sit down and eat some?"

"it is good."

Jun Lanzhou naturally didn't talk to her heretics, and sat down opposite her with his back to the door.Hongdou and Chanjuan naturally cleaned the bowls and chopsticks for him, and retreated.

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou hadn't seen each other for a long time in the past, sometimes more than half a year. Unexpectedly, they have only seen each other for eight days now, and they feel that they miss each other very much.Ruan Yunting ate absent-mindedly.Jun Lanzhou simply didn't take the chopsticks, but just looked at him intently.

If his gaze had substance, Ruan Yunting would feel really uncomfortable being looked at. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in feigned anger, and Qiu Shui looked at him reproachfully: "You don't eat, you just watch what I do."

"Eat. Who says not to eat." Jun Lanzhou smiled, then picked up the bowl, took two mouthfuls of rice and said vaguely: "Is there anyone in the palace making things difficult for you these days?"

"It's never difficult." Ruan Yunting took the serving chopsticks and served him dishes: "The emperor will not do anything to me for the sake of the old lady. It's just that I can't be free."

"Oh? Why can't you be free? Didn't Brother Lan say that you were left in the palace for medical treatment?"

Ruan Yunting never concealed much from Jun Lanzhou, she shook her head and said: "Of course it's not that simple, the emperor is just coercing me." As she spoke, she told Jun Lanzhou what happened that day up.

Jun Lanzhou was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it earlier, "Then your body has taken care of itself?"

"The other one is better, but I still don't have any sense of taste, so I'd like to ask Mr. Gao Tujun, a genius doctor, to treat the little girl." Ruan Yunting blinked playfully.

Jun Lanzhou threw down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Give me your hand."

"You eat first, and it won't be too late to see the illness later."

"Give me your hand, you taste like chewing wax, how can I eat it by myself?"

Ruan Yunting's heart warmed when she heard the words, and she smiled and passed her hand over.Jun Lanzhou held her weak and boneless little hand for the first time and felt her cool and smooth skin swayed. He took a deep breath before holding his breath and concentrating on the pillow pulse.

Ruan Yunting looked at him with a smile, and felt that Jun Lanzhou looked more and more beautiful, as if she couldn't get enough of it. It would be even better if he didn't have that obtrusive scar on his face.

"Lan Zhou."

"Ok?"

"When will the scars on your face be removed? I heard from Sister Wan that there are several imperial physicians in the Tai Hospital who are very skilled in medical treatment and have a lot of research on things like removing scars. The medicinal materials that Uncle Shui doesn't have may be available in the Tai Hospital. I have already asked sister Wan to help me pay attention."

Jun Lanzhou got up, went to the side to grind the ink by herself, wrote a house in a fluttering manner, handed over the red beans and came in and told her to get the medicine, and then said: "Of course I need the medicine for scar removal. It's just for your diagnosis and treatment. "

Walking to Ruan Yunting's side, slowly knelt down in front of her on one knee, and took her hands.Her brocade cuffs were still attached to her wrists, and when the sleeves were rolled up, the clear scars on her wrists could be seen.Originally flawless, supple skin carved out of a whole piece of white jade, was blemished by scars.

Ruan Yunting's face was blushing, the man had gold under his knees, ancient men paid more attention to these things.Jun Lanzhou just knelt down in front of her carelessly, and held her hand tenderly, which made Ruan Yunting think wildly. If he had a ring and flowers in his hand at this moment, he could propose marriage.

Thinking of the word proposal, Ruan Yunting couldn't help but think of what the old lady said in Pine Age Hall just now.His complexion became a little tense.

Jun Lanzhou was sensitive to her emotions, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"

Ruan Yunting looked at Jun Lanzhou complicatedly, thought for a while, and still answered truthfully: "The old lady told me to go with her to Xiangfu to appreciate the plum blossoms tomorrow."

"Xiangfu? You mean the family of Gongsun?" Jun Lanzhou frowned.

"Yes."

Jun Lanzhou stood up, took a few steps on the spot, and said: "I haven't heard how close the Xu family is with the Gongsun family. The old lady and the prime minister's wife should be considered a close relationship, right? It's very good. How could I go to admire the plum blossoms and take you there? Will other people go?"

"What I'm worried about is that the old lady only said to let me prepare, but never mentioned that she would take other people with her."

"This..." Jun Lanzhou analyzed objectively: "I think this matter has something to do with your marriage. It is true. Although you have a good reputation now, which man would like to marry a very powerful wife? Most A good man will respect and admire you, but dare not marry you. The old lady is afraid that your future marriage will become difficult, so she will leave Seventh Miss and Eighth Miss' marriage aside and plan your affairs."

"Yes, there is another reason. It's because Miss Seven already has her way, and she just needs to pierce a layer of window paper. Naturally, the old lady is not in a hurry, and about Miss Eight..." Ruan Yunting thought of Xu Ningxia and The second prince's concern made me depressed for a while, "About the eighth girl's affairs are more complicated, so the old lady will do both, and even consider my affairs first."

"I've been walking around frequently recently, and I'm afraid the old lady will be annoyed..." Jun Lanzhou said with a wry smile: "The old lady is the most shrewd person. I am now an envoy of the Xiwu Kingdom. If you follow me, you may It also involves the relationship between the two countries. You may not mind embarrassing the old lady by yourself, but you have involved the Xu family behind your back. Nothing, it’s fine if something happens to drive you out, no one will know, your existence is known to everyone in Daliang City now. The old lady has won a good name with your reputation, so I’m also worried that you will It hurt the Xu family..."

Speaking of this, Jun Lanzhou walked to the window, opened the carved wooden window and looked out, and saw the clean gravel road winding to the green painted gate, the white snow on both sides was spotless, and the cold air was in the mouth form a mist...

After taking a few deep breaths of cold air, he calmed down a little, and sighed: "I missed a step back then."

"Things have come to this, it's useless to think too much." Ruan Yunting blinked her bright wide eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, conveying a brisk and joyful mood, "Don't worry, in the future it's just soldiers coming to cover up the water. Since I choose you, I will naturally advance and retreat with you, can't you trust me?"

A simple sentence can warm Jun Lanzhou's heart the most.The phrase "advance and retreat together" is far more reassuring than any pledge of eternal love.

"That being the case, no matter the wind or rain, I will accompany you." Jun Lanzhou also smiled.

The two looked at each other silently, as if seeing a deep friendship in each other's eyes.

Ruan Yunting can't predict how long the road ahead will be, and how far the road of love will be.The experience in her previous life was too painful, and she was afraid of marriage and love several times.After traveling in confusion for so long in this life, I finally realized that deep love is irreplaceable.Now that Jun Lanzhou has been identified, why not be him in this life?Whether it is pain or happiness, this is the path she chooses, without complaint or regret.

In the imperial study room, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. The eunuch Detai gently put down the cloisonne teacup, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Your Majesty, Miss Ruan has left the palace and returned home."

Detai served the emperor as before, and he knew best how high the volume should be when the emperor was concentrating on his work.

The emperor gave a "hmm" and continued to concentrate on reviewing the papers.

Just at this moment, there was a low voice of conversation coming from outside.

The emperor didn't say a word, and waved his hand at Detai.

Detai understood immediately, and went out quickly, and when he arrived at the porch, he saw that it was Jun Zhaoying who came, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Jun, you are here, the emperor is currently reviewing papers."

Jun Zhaoying clasped his fists at Detai, and said in a serious and anxious tone: "Please trouble the father-in-law, just say that I have something urgent to report to the emperor."

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Detai reported to the emperor, and not long after, he came out and invited Jun Zhaoying in, while he stayed outside the imperial study in a sensible manner.He understands that there are some things he shouldn't know, so don't know.

Jun Zhaoying knelt down on one knee, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, just now someone reported to the officials that a carriage was robbed outside the west city gate, two people were unconscious and one died. It has been confirmed that the person who died was Lu There is no doubt about Wenshan."

Jun Zhaoying was in charge of sending Lu Wenshan out of the city, so he naturally knew that the scene that the emperor showed to the Ninth Prince was fake.He also wanted to tell Ruan Yunting the truth, but he was on a mission, and the most important thing was not to reveal the secret, otherwise he would die without a place to die.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, his hands stopped, and the cinnabar on the brush fell on the fold, like bright red blood.

"Idiots! They're all a bunch of trash!" The emperor dropped his pen and stood up, saying, "Could it be that no one will protect them after leaving the city? How could they be killed!"

"Going back to the emperor, the man used drugs to stun the two guards, and then stabbed Lu Wenshan in the heart. The valuables and silver in the car were not lost. This man must not be an ordinary gangster, but rather... ..." Jun Zhaoying paused angrily, hesitated before saying, "It's like a vendetta."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, Ruan Yunting was the only one in this world who had a grudge against Lu Wenshan and wanted to kill him.But Ruan Yunting was detained in the palace these days and completely cut off contact with the outside world.Unless she possessed celestial magic and witchcraft, and could fly out of the palace without life under his nose, otherwise, there must be another reason for Lu Wenshan's death.

Jun Zhaoying was also worried that the emperor would suspect Ruan Yunting, so he frowned and said, "Return to the emperor, Lu Wenshan has done a lot of beatings and scolding dogs on weekdays, and it is inevitable that he will make enemies. I would like to ask for orders to investigate this matter."

"En." The emperor responded, and said, "You go, and exchange the corpse for Lu Guogong." Sighing, he said again: "The family funeral has now become a real funeral."
