Chapter 42
Girls in boudoirs have always been pampered, how could they have endured such exposure to the scorching sun.

Her body was already weak, and after tossing like this, cold sweat soon began to break out on her forehead, and her face became paler.

The sun shone on the white rice paper, and the reflected light made it hard to open the eyes. The swelling and pain in the wrist made it very difficult to make every stroke.

The curtain of the yurt was lifted, Concubine Li Gui, Guan Mushuang, and Yan's mother and daughter moved their seats to the windows. The ice cubes that had just been transported in a hurry were placed in the room, and the palace servants played fans. It is extraordinarily cool.

The four drank tea and chatted, looking outside from time to time, with contempt and mockery on their faces.

The sweat on Su Ruiran's head dripped onto the rice paper, she felt a little dizzy, and the hand holding the pen trembled a little.

Yin He hurriedly supported her, seeing her anxiously wanted to cry: "Miss, are you alright?"

Su Ruiran shook her head, leaned on the table, and managed to regain her composure.I just feel dazed, and my chest feels tight.The surrounding sounds seemed to be blocked outside the door, and it sounded unreal.

Yin He suddenly rushed to the front of the yurt, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and begged with all his might: "Imperial concubine! My young lady is almost dying. Please forgive me. This servant is willing to accept all kinds of punishments on behalf of young lady."

"Bang bang bang" she kowtowed as she said, each hit made a dull sound on the ground, and soon the skin on her forehead was scratched, bleeding profusely.But the beauty blowing the fan in the yurt didn't even look at her, and signaled the palace man to drag her away.

Two eunuchs immediately came over to support Yin He, one on the left and one on the right, and forcibly dragged her aside. After being dragged for a while, Yin He forcibly broke free from the two of them, ran and knelt down in front of the yurt, continuing to kowtow and beg.

Concubine Li Gui turned her head to look at her, raising her eyebrows slightly.Lan Xi went over immediately, and gave each of the two eunuchs a solid slap: "What are you doing! You can't even catch a little girl! You want to make your mother angry."

The two eunuchs rushed over and dragged Yin He away.

Concubine Li Gui looked at this scene, shook the gold-encrusted ivory fan in her hand, and said to Yan Shi: "I can't see that your girl is still very loyal."

After hearing this, Yan secretly resented Yin He for being an eyesore, and complimented: "As long as it makes you unhappy, no one should live in this world."

Concubine Li Gui pursed her lips and smiled.

Guan Mushuang personally poured a bowl of tea for Concubine Li Gui, and said: "If there is a master, there must be a servant. This little slave dares to disobey the order of her aunt. It can be seen that her master must have instigated it behind her back. I heard that they The master and the servant often speak ill of my aunt behind their backs."

Concubine Li Gui frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation on her face.She got up suddenly, and the maid at the side immediately came to attend, and when she walked to the door, another maid hurriedly opened an umbrella for her.

Seeing her coming, the two eunuchs let go of Yin He, and stepped aside respectfully.

Concubine Li Gui looked at Yin He with an aggressive look in her eyes: "Do you think this palace is deliberately embarrassing your young lady?"

Yin He only felt a chill in his heart, as if he couldn't feel any temperature in this hot weather.She knelt down with a "plop", trembling all over her body: "I don't dare."

Concubine Li Gui said "hmph", without further ado, she asked people to lock up this servant who committed crimes below.

"Your Majesty!" Su Ruiran hurriedly knelt down to intercede, "Yin He accidentally offended you because of what my daughter taught me, please forgive her this time, and my daughter will definitely discipline her when she goes back."

"Sister, you are in danger and still want to protect this slave girl." Guan Mushuang walked up to Concubine Li Gui with a smile, "Your Majesty is there to discipline you, can it be possible that Elder Sister can't trust your Majesty?"

"I don't mean that, my servant." She looked flustered and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Yan Shi, "Rui Ran, if the empress is willing to discipline you, that is also a blessing for you and this servant."

Yan Shi also came out with Su Yanran, and Guan Mushuang stood behind Li Guifei, looking at her coldly.

The four of them surrounded the city with a wall, which made her dizzy, flustered, short of breath, out of breath, and almost fainted on the ground.

"Come on, take her back."

Concubine Li Gui's indifferent words echoed in her ears, she was afraid of being involved.Several palace people immediately came to help her.She struggled a few times, but she didn't have any strength, her whole body was like a piece of white paper hanging, letting them lead her away limply.

The only one who was awake was consciousness, who watched Yin He being taken away.

My heart felt terrible, but the scorching sun shone on my body like ice falling.It's so cold, why is my heart so cold?

She didn't know how long she slept before she finally woke up in a daze.The moon-white gauze hanging over the bed was weak and boneless, and the bed rails were carved with patterns of butterflies and peonies. She knew that this was her own room.

She leaned on the bed rail and sat up, her head still a little heavy.Medicine had already been applied to the wrist, and it was carefully bandaged, but a large swelling could still be seen.

Nanny Wang, who had fallen asleep lying on the edge of the bed, was awakened by her, and rushed to call the doctor over.After the doctor saw her and confirmed that she was fine, Wang Momo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went to get her medicine according to the prescription.

Su Ruiran suddenly grabbed her arm and asked, "Where is Yin He, mother?"

Wang Momo was about to shed tears when she heard the words, but in the end she suppressed it and went back: "Miss is recovering from illness, don't think about anything."

"Yin He didn't come back, did he?" Su Ruiran was agitated, and she was about to get up to save Yin He as she lifted the quilt.

Wang Momo panicked and held her down, weeping uncontrollably.

She also buried her head in tears, holding the quilt tightly with both hands.Could it be that she was going to be like the previous life again, where she could only watch the people around her being persecuted, but she couldn't do anything.No, she is not reconciled, she can't let this happen again.

Raising her hand to wipe her tears, Su Ruiran also calmed down, and said to Nanny Wang: "Mommy, I must save Yin He."

"What is Miss going to do?" Wang Momo looked at her anxiously with wrinkled eyes, and said with determination, "No matter what Miss does, this servant will definitely help Miss."

Su Ruiran nodded, took her hand, and said with a firmer gaze: "Changing clothes for me, I'll go and ask the empress, she is the only one in the palace who can compete with Concubine Li."

Wang Momo hurriedly ordered people to get off the sedan chair, and two servants carried them to the queen's yurt.

Su Ruiran was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the footsteps outside, her fingers repeatedly circling the silk in her hand, she felt that her mind was flowing like water, and it would only make people more restless.

The sedan chair stopped outside the queen's yurt, and the bearer pressed the sedan chair, and Wang Momo immediately helped Su Ruiran out.

As soon as the two of them walked out the door, they were stopped by two eunuchs. Su Ruiran hurriedly said: "Please pass on a message, Su Chao's eldest daughter, Su Ruiran, is asking to see the empress."

"Miss Su, please wait first." The eunuch said, then opened the curtain and went in to pass on the message.

After a while, the door curtain was opened again, and the eunuch came out, followed by the maid Xianrui who was beside the queen.

Seeing Su Ruiran, Xianrui bowed to her: "Miss Su came at a really bad time, our mother just took a nap."

"Dare to ask when the girl wakes up, I can wait." Su Ruiran looked eager, and Xianrui just smiled, "It's hard to say, our lady will take a nap for at least one or two hours. What's more, the emperor wants to sleep today. Come to have dinner, the emperor will come when the empress wakes up, and I am afraid that there will be no time to see the young lady at that time. Why don't the young lady come back tomorrow."

The queen is like this, I am afraid that she is deliberately avoiding herself.The queen must have heard about today's incident, and she probably doesn't want to get involved.Since the other party didn't want to see it, she also knew that she couldn't force it, so she could only leave first.

After walking a few steps, I saw three eunuchs coming towards this side. The leading eunuch was about 40 to [-] years old. He was wearing a dark green satin robe with dark moiré background, a black gauze tube on his head, and a pair of skirts on his feet. They are black gauze flat boots inlaid with emerald jade, holding a whisk.

Looking at this attire, you can tell that he is a servant of the imperial court.

Su Ruiran stopped on purpose, looked here and waited.

Seeing the eunuch, Xianrui immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Isn't this Eunuch Zhang? What brought you here? But what orders does the Emperor have?"

"Miss Xianrui, you're being polite. I'm here to deliver a message for the emperor. The emperor is going to have dinner with Concubine Li Gui tonight, so he took a break along the way, so he won't come to the empress's place."

Xianrui's face changed when he heard the words, and his smile froze all of a sudden, he asked Eunuch Zhang unacceptably: "Didn't the emperor promise to come to the empress's place for dinner tonight? Where is the concubine?"

"The change of the Sacred Heart is a common thing. The girl is an old man in the palace. Naturally, she will not fail to understand this truth. We slaves can guess what the emperor's thoughts are." Eunuch Zhang didn't change his face, but But he quickly mentioned, "Earlier this morning, the imperial concubine personally sent a bowl of ginseng black chicken soup."

Xianrui immediately understood that Concubine Li Gui must have played tricks and snatched the emperor away when she knew that the emperor was coming to accompany her.

Eunuch Zhang resigned immediately, and troubled Xianrui to tell the empress about it.Xianrui is frowning, the empress has made careful preparations early this morning for the emperor to come, and now she is going to say that the emperor was snatched away by Concubine Li, the empress does not know how angry she will be.Why did such a thing happen to her, and how should she speak up.

Xianrui was worrying, when suddenly Su Ruiran said to her: "Auntie, maybe I can do something about this."

Xianrui was taken aback, and turned her head to find that her master and servant hadn't left yet.

"Miss Su, this matter is not a joke."

Xianrui frowned, watched her walk in front of her, and said, "I'm not joking, but I really have a way. Auntie, please let me try it. If it doesn't work, I'm willing to bear the consequences."

Xianrui was hesitant at first, but seeing her so swearing, maybe there is a way.I simply believed her and asked her for the specific method.

Su Ruiran said: "Auntie, please send someone to catch some fireflies immediately, the more the better."

Xianrui immediately ordered people to catch fireflies as she said.

Wang Momo was suspicious and asked her secretly: "Miss, what are you going to do to catch fireflies?"

Su Ruiran smiled, deliberately keeping her secret and not telling her: "You will know when the time comes."

At night, it is nearly Xu time.

A torch was lit in the camp, and it looked like it was shining from a distance, like stars falling on the ground.

The surrounding mountains and forests also quieted down, the guards took over, and there were twice as many guards patrolling than in the daytime.The whining of wild beasts sounded from time to time all around, sometimes approaching and sometimes far away, which made people get goosebumps.
