The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Yaohua Garden.

It had been daybreak for a long time, but there were only a few dim candles in the house, the windows were closed, and the charcoal in the basin was black and smelled of ash.

Lan'er hesitated at the door for a long time and then pushed it open.

"My lady, you have been staying in your room for two days without eating anything. Please don't scare me, okay?" Lan'er put the prepared food on the table.

She opened the window and let in the daylight.

Ning Ruxin on the bed let out a shrill cry: "Get out! Get out! Close the window!"

Her figure was blurred behind the bed curtain, with only one hand reaching out and tightly grasping the curtain.

Lan Er hurried over and held her hand: "My lady! Don't be afraid, it's me, it's me!"

"Get out, I said get out!"

Ning Ruxin's nails were very long and they scratched Lan'er's palms so much that it hurt.

Lan Er lifted the curtain and endured the pain: "My lady! How long are you going to hide? What happened to you? I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find the deputy chief steward today, but he was dismissed yesterday!"

"My lady! You are the daughter of the Shangshu Lord. Why did you come to the palace? Did His Majesty knock you down with just a casual word?"

Lan'er shed tears and awakened Ning Ruxin's confused consciousness word by word.

She raised her pale face, like a lifeless green lotus: "What, Song Kui was dismissed?"

The next second she frowned again, her eyes misty: "But His Majesty told me to get out and said I was dirty, Lan'er, I'm really sad, so sad..."

Lan Er held her hand, her eyes concerned: "My lady, did His Majesty say he would not see you? Did he demote you? Your green card is still in the Jingshifang, why do you scare yourself?"

Ning Ruxin's eyes sparkled: "Yes, yes... Your Majesty that day..."

She suddenly smiled sweetly and finally slowly let go of his hand.

"But why was Song Kui suddenly dismissed?" Ning Ruxin's eyes darkened: "Will there be any accidents when things are done well?"

"The deputy chief steward left a letter, saying only that he would help the young lady with the final things. This time, apart from him, many official positions in the palace have changed, and even the Imperial Hospital has dismissed several doctors."

Lan Er was a little uneasy: "My lady, I feel something is not right."

Ning Ruxin pursed her lips: "What's wrong? It's not like only people related to us have been fired."

Lan Er stopped talking and said, "My lady, let me help you get up and wash up."

"The Queen is confined to her room to take care of her baby, so she doesn't need to pay respects, but this rule still applies. We have to go to Concubine Gao's palace tomorrow."

Ning Ruxin hummed tiredly, and glanced at the branches outside the window when she stood up.

Lan'er knew what she was thinking. Before she could say anything to comfort her, she heard her excited voice: "Quick, go and get the letter."

She sighed inwardly and took the letter tied to Xiaoque's feet.

After Ning Ruxin finished reading, her eyes became redder: "Hurry, I want to take a bath."

"My lady, you are already His Majesty's concubine, you cannot..."

"Lan'er." Ning Ruxin raised her eyes, dissatisfaction in her eyes: "You are my personal servant, and also a servant born in my family, but you must be careful and don't lose your dignity."

Lan'er lowered her head: "I'll go get some water."

"Open the side door to the backyard."

"Yes."

Lan'er left the room, and Pei'er came over: "Sister Lan, is the young master willing to eat?"

"Well, take these dirty clothes down and bring some flower petals over later."

"Yes."

After seeing her leave, Lan'er quietly went to the backyard.

Ning Ruxin lay in the bathtub, the warm water wrapped around her, her tense nerves relaxed a little, she stretched out her hand and looked at her skin which was no longer as delicate as before: "Lan'er."

"I'm here." She scooped a spoonful of hot water and added it in.

"I have been suffering from insomnia. Is it possible that the imperial doctors in the palace are of no use? Do you think I can ask my father to arrange for a doctor outside to take a look?"

"My lady, I'm afraid you have to ask His Majesty for help, otherwise how can people come in?"

Ning Ruxin sighed: "If this continues, even if I apply the best perfume, it will be of no use."

"No, my lady. The imperial physician has said that you are just worried and restless. As long as you feel better, everything will be fine."

everything will be fine.

Ning Ruxin closed her eyes.

But she always felt inexplicably panicked, all because of the baby's crying that lingered in her ears every night.

As long as we have a dragon heir, everything will be fine!

Pei'er was holding the bowl of flower petals when she suddenly saw a figure heading towards the young lady's bedroom. The figure was tall and did not look like a woman.

Her heart skipped a beat, she wiped her eyes, and hurried to follow.

Just then Lan'er opened the door: "Why did it take you so long?"

Pei'er glanced behind her, but couldn't see anything clearly. She handed the petals over and said, "I was delayed for a while while washing clothes."

"Go down."

The door closes again.

Pei'er frowned, feeling somewhat confused.

There was clearly a figure coming over in broad daylight. Was she really dazzled?

Lan'er placed the petals on the table and lowered her head: "My lady, just call me when you are done."

After she left, Ning Ruxin opened her eyes, lightly touched the water with her fingers, and spoke in a soft voice.

But the grievance in it was clearly audible: "Brother Yan, I knew you wouldn't leave me."

Yan Yang stood behind the screen, his back to her, and said in a cold tone: "Is what you wrote in the letter true?"

"It's true, of course it's true. I went too far last time. Xin'er was wrong, but I'm really sad that I can't see you. Now in the palace, who can I trust?"

Ning Ruxin shed tears: "Xin'er has always only you, only you."

Yan Yang clenched his hands in his sleeves, then unclenched them.

Listening to her crying, he took the flower petals and walked up to her: "Xin'er."

His voice was a little hoarse, and he sprinkled the flower petals in her bathtub.

Yan Yang half squatted down and looked at her face: "I said, as long as you love me for one day, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

He reached out his hand and stroked her face: "Tell me, do you really only love me? You are not in love with His Majesty. You have been acting with him from the beginning to the end."

Ning Ruxin looked into his eyes, revealing a smile and just the right amount of shyness: "I... of course I only love you, how could I fall in love with Your Majesty?"

But her fingers were pinching her wrist fiercely under the water.

The smile on her face became sweeter.

The uneasiness in Yan Yang's eyes disappeared, and he kissed her cheek, his tone a little tearful with joy: "I know that Xin'er only loves me and will not be blinded by these empty glory. You have always been that gentle and lively Xin'er."

Ning Ruxin's eyes flashed with a trace of uneasiness, and she asked: "Is Xin'er ugly now? When Brother Yan sees her...does he think she is dirty..."

"No, no matter what you become, you are my beloved Xin'er." Yan Yang held her cheek and kissed her more gently.

Ning Ruxin put her arms around his neck.

She is still the same Ning Ruxin, nothing has changed, and she will definitely get what she wants!

She hooked her lips together and kissed him back passionately.
