concubines are respected

Chapter 105 Nightmare
It was only then that Suxian realized the reason why the sixth princess was angry, and immediately pulled her wrist away from the warm palm, and at the same time took two steps back to distance herself from Murong Haotian, and said to the sixth princess, "Minister Lin Suxian see Six princesses."

"Lin Suxian?" The sixth princess looked Suxian up and down, crossed her hands on her chest, and walked slowly around Suxian, repeating her name in a low voice, her eyes full of disdain, "Where did you get that wild girl from?" , why are you with my big brother Haotian?"

The Sixth Princess made no secret of her admiration for Murong Haotian in her words. She glanced slightly from the corner of her eye and saw his slightly embarrassed words, "Sixth Princess, she is..."

Suxian hurriedly took over the words, "The sixth princess misunderstood. The girl was ordered to enter the palace to serve the queen mother. When she was about to leave the palace, she ran into the third prince and Lord Hou. The girl's feet were unstable and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Lord Hou kindly helped her up." , so that the women of the people will not be made a fool of themselves."

After finishing speaking, Suxian glanced at Murong Haotian, implying that he should not say anything about the marriage contract.Judging from the current situation, if the sixth princess knew that she was Murong Haotian's fiancée, she might hate herself so much.Now there is already a concubine Lan in the palace who doesn't like her, if this little ancestor is added, there is really no way to stay in the palace.

"Brother Haotian, is this the case?" The sixth princess turned around and glanced at Murong Haotian, stepped forward to lean against him, took his arm with both hands very naturally, looked up and asked with a smile.

"Well...she's right, that's what happened." While speaking, Murong Haotian quietly pulled out the arm held by the sixth princess, but unexpectedly, the sixth princess pulled Murong Haotian's cuff with his backhand, She swayed from side to side coquettishly, tilted her head and said coquettishly, "Brother Haotian, today I specially went out of the palace to look for you in the Hou's mansion. I heard that you have entered the palace. Do you miss Zitong?"

Murong Haotian coughed in embarrassment, cast a look of help to the third prince, gently retracted his arm, and got rid of the sixth princess's grasp, and said with a very reluctant smile, "It's true that I haven't seen the sixth princess for a long time, I don't know How is the sixth princess?"

The six princesses laughed like crescent moons, and stepped forward again to pull Murong Haotian, but seeing Suxian still standing where she was, staring at herself, she immediately scolded dissatisfiedly, "Why are you still here? Why are you still here?" go!"

Suxian had never seen Murong Haotian so embarrassed, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she backed away.

Murong Haotian's eyes followed Suxian's leaving back, a trace of disappointment flashed across his handsome face.The third prince finally spoke, "Sixth sister, you are already as old as Ji, and you are no longer a child. You should be careful to obey the rules of male and female defense. How can you be so unrestrained and make people laugh!"

"So what? There is no need for male and female defense between Zitong and Brother Haotian. Zitong will become Brother Haotian's bride in the future. In the future, Zitong will personally ask his father to marry him!" The sixth princess did not hesitate. He raised his voice with concern, as if he was not talking about a big wedding, but an ordinary and trivial matter.

The sixth princess's tone was extremely flamboyant, passing through Yongxiang and reaching Suxian's ears who were drifting away.Suxian's steps were slightly stagnant, and then she quickened her pace of departure, the smile remaining on the corner of her lips had long since disappeared...
**************************
It was night, and the surroundings were pitch black. Suxian stumbled through the unfamiliar dense forest, and ghostly howls could be heard faintly from all around.The wind blows the trees, and the sound of the branches and leaves colliding echoes in the ears like waves, making the scalp numb.

What is this place?Suxian whispered in despair, "Swallow, Cuiya, Vanilla!" No one answered, only the howling that was getting closer and closer.

In the depths of the dense forest where you can't see your fingers, pairs of pea green eyes flicker like will-o'-the-wisps. Are they wolves?Is it a tiger?Or is it really a ghost?
Suxian stopped, not daring to go any further, but the pair of eyes that moved like will-o'-the-wisps approached step by step, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of her, "Get out! Get out!"

Suxian couldn't hold back the fear in her heart, she waved her hands and shouted...
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you? But it's a nightmare again?" Cui Ya's voice came from beside her ear, Su Xian sat up abruptly, the cold sweat from her vest had already soaked her obscene clothes.

"I'm having nightmares again?" Suxian rested her forehead lightly with both hands, and murmured weakly, "What's wrong with me?"

"Second miss, why don't you ask the doctor to take a look, tonight you are already experiencing the second nightmare, if you continue like this, what can you do if you hurt your body?" Cui Ya wiped Su Xian's forehead with a silk handkerchief, Although it was covered with sweat, it was cold to the touch.

Suxian didn't respond, and only after closing her eyes for a long time did she say, "Where's Swallow?"

"Second Miss, the servant is on duty tonight. Swallow and Vanilla are resting in the room. If the Second Miss has something to do, just tell the servant to do it." Cuiya turned around and picked up the celadon painted teapot on the table, and poured tea into the cup , handed it to the head of the bed and said softly.

Suxian took the teacup and took a shallow sip. The tea that had been left in the middle of the night was no longer warm, and it was not helpful to drink it cold in her mouth, "I'm not thirsty."

Handing the teacup into Cuiya's hand, she said softly, "At first, I thought that I had many dreams at night, and it was because I returned to the palace recently and worked too hard. But now, with the approval of the Queen Mother, I have already rested in the mansion for two days. .But still have nightmares every night, Xu is really sick. When the day breaks, let Yanzi go to Qinglong Temple, and be sure to invite Mr. Tang to come to the house."

"Your servant understands." Cui Ya put the tea on the small purple wood cabinet by the bed, and replied worriedly.

At the same time, Yanzi pushed open the door and walked in, Xu heard Suxian's words from outside the door, Yanzi gathered up the loose hair on the back of her head, quickly tied it on the top of her head, and quickly tied it into a pair of buns, He said anxiously, "You don't have to wait until dawn, the servant will go right away. The second young lady had such a nightmare, and the terrified screams even woke up the sleepy servant, how dare you delay any longer."

"It's good to go at this time. Qinglong Temple is on the outskirts of the city. It takes several hours to go back and forth. If you are in a hurry, you should be able to make it back in time." Cui Ya nodded in agreement.

Although it's a nocturnal walk, Yanzi's kung fu will not make people worry. Suxian thought about it and nodded in response.

Swallow didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked out of the door, just after walking a few steps, as if suddenly wanting to remember something, she suddenly turned around and said, "Second Miss, I'm going to the Hou Mansion by the way, can I tell Lord Hou?"

"Don't!" Suxian raised her head abruptly when she heard the words, and said with a strong reaction, "Don't disturb others!"

Yanzi said in a puzzled voice, "Second Miss, Master Hou is the future son-in-law, how could it be someone else..."

"Shut up! If I say no, then don't, don't make up your own mind!" Suxian shouted slightly annoyed, under the candlelight, an abnormal blush appeared on her pale pretty face.

Seeing that Suxian was angry, Yanzi didn't dare to say anything, although she didn't understand why, she quickly responded and rushed out of the room.

"Why don't you see Vanilla? She sleeps very lightly on weekdays, and she can hear even the slightest movement. Why is it that Swallow woke up today, and she still doesn't see anyone?" Suxian raised her head to look at the door of the room, and asked softly.

"Xiang Cao is not feeling very well these days. She is always dizzy during the day, and she is absent-minded when doing things. She was supposed to be on duty tonight, but the servant saw that she was really lacking energy, so she went back to the room to rest. She must be really sick, so You haven't woken up." Cui Ya pulled the thin quilt under the armpit for Suxian, and said softly.

"In this way, let her rest. When Mr. Tang comes, please ask Mr. Tang to feel her pulse." Su Xian closed her eyes tiredly, although she was very sleepy, she really didn't dare to fall asleep.The nightmares of the past few days have made her extremely afraid of sleeping.This torment of wanting to sleep but not daring to sleep almost exhausted her physical strength, making her in a drowsy state at any time.

The two master and servant chatted one after another, the door slammed slightly, and vanilla entered the room with tea, "Second Miss, this servant heard that Second Miss woke up, and went to the kitchen to boil some hot water. You moisten Throat."

"Xiangcao, I heard that you are not feeling well recently, go and rest. I have Cuiya here." During this time, Suxian frequently walked around the palace. I didn't sleep well, and I was always groggy during the day, and I didn't care that Vanilla was also feeling unwell.At this time, looking closely at Vanilla, she found that she had lost a lot of weight, and her big watery eyes seemed to have lost their luster.

"Second miss, I'm fine with this servant, it's just a little bit of cold. But you are so unwell, according to this servant, I'd better take this opportunity not to enter the palace, so as not to be exhausted." Xiang Cao brought the tea to the At the bedside, I lifted the tea cover, flicked the tea foam on the water surface, and blew it intimately before handing it to Suxian respectfully, and continued, "Although the palace seems to be prosperous and rich, it is still in the end. It's better to stay in peace in the mansion, if you inadvertently offend some nobleman, wouldn't it be a disaster."

Suxian took the teacup, sipped it slightly, and the warm tea flowed down her throat. She immediately felt a lot warmer in her heart, and the panic caused by the nightmare eased a little. She raised her head and said softly to Xiangcao, "You What's the matter. I heard that I had the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the Empress Dowager before. Didn't you still feel happy for me? Why did I change my words after only a few days? Could it be that these days, I go out early and return late, you Instead, she hated me."

The atmosphere in the room is depressing, Suxian originally intended to say some jokes to ease the atmosphere.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Xiang Cao's eyes turned red, and she said sullenly, "Second Miss is right. The slaves really don't want to part with Second Miss. These days, Second Miss enters the palace to wait for illness, and travels back and forth wearing stars and moons. The day before yesterday When she came to the palace, her face was still covered with wounds, and she thought she was punished by the master of the palace. The servant girl was worried... What a noble person the second lady is in the palace, but she was treated like a maidservant when she entered the palace. How can the servant not feel distressed."

"Well, why are you crying?" Suxian said in relief, and handed the teacup back to Xiangcao, and said helplessly, "Now that I am in this body, even if I want to enter the palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it... Sigh, I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but I’ve been having nightmares for days, if this continues, even my iron-clad body won’t be able to take it anymore.”

At this time, Cui Ya took the words, "I remember, the second lady often had nightmares back then, and woke up every night from the dream, and she became thinner and thinner day by day, and over time, it became a chronic illness..." Speaking Here, Cuiya's voice became deeper and deeper, remembering that her husband's body collapsed after the nightmare, and looking at Suxian's current appearance, a trace of ominous feeling passed from the bottom of her heart.

"What? Was the second lady's chronic illness caused by her nightmare?" Vanilla raised her voice sharply, with a look of astonishment on her face, "How is it possible, why didn't I know?"
