Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

When we went to pay our respects the next day, everyone sat there quietly like quails, and no one dared to act up.

The palace search that went on so loudly last night frightened them all. Their former splendor dimmed a bit, and the entire palace was silent.

But not everyone understood the expression, for example, Li Zhaoyi, when everyone was waiting to leave, Li Zhaoyi sighed with emotion,

"Lady Ruan is really unlucky. This is her first time sleeping with you and she has to face something like this..."

After saying this, he quickly stopped talking, as if he really felt sorry for her.

What can Ruan Guannan do?

She flicked her handkerchief, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a sob:

"That's right. I'm almost worried to death."

His loyal look of "I'm devoted to the Emperor" made Li Zhaoyi choke for a moment and she didn't know how to respond.

On the way back, there was a gentle breeze. Ruan Guannan rarely slowed down his pace and enjoyed the morning energy.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw the hustle and bustle not far away.

"Lady Xia, your sister told me before I entered the palace that I should spend more time with you and take care of you."

After saying this, he looked Xia Luoning up and down with a playful look, and said with disdain:

"But I see that my sister has been in the palace for three years, why is she still so shabby?"

"Gu Cairen, our master's position is higher than yours, are you overstepping the boundaries?"

The maid who was supporting Xia Luoning frowned and said.

"How dare you, a slut, to accuse your master of wrongdoings. I can't do anything to her, but can't I deal with you?"

Gu Xiran was furious. She and Xia Changle were used to bullying Xia Luoning.

The positions were reversed for a moment, how could she be willing to be inferior to Xia Luoning?

She stepped forward aggressively, raising her hand to slap the maid in the face with such force that it seemed to make a sound like the wind.

The little maidservant turned pale with fear, but she could not resist and had to endure this unexpected disaster with her eyes closed.

Xia Luoning suddenly raised her hand, grabbed the arm that was about to hit her, and said with a smile:

“Gu Cairen, no matter what, this master is one level higher than you.

It is against palace rules for a person of lower status not to pay respect to a person of higher status. Even if this matter is brought to the attention of the Empress, I am still in the right.

Are you sure you want to keep messing around like this?"

Gu Xiran was simply stunned. She didn't expect that Xia Luoning, who was always timid in the past, would have the courage to threaten her!

But when she mentioned the Queen, Gu Xiran didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. She pulled her arm back angrily and said angrily:

"Xia Luo Ning, don't be so complacent. It's still unclear who will be the superior and inferior in the future. Just wait and see!"

After saying that, he left quickly in anger.

Xia Luoning quickly turned around and looked at her maid.

"Ning Chun, are you okay?"

Ning Chun was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. She choked up and said:

"I'm fine. This Concubine Gu is really too much. She used to bully you all the time. I didn't expect her to be so arrogant after entering the palace."

Xia Luoning frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal and said in a gentle voice:

"Let's stay away from her from now on."

When Ruan Guannan approached, she heard Xia Luoning say this. She looked at the former heroine curiously.

Since the day she paid her respects, she had noticed this low-key Lady Xia, whose simplicity was truly reflected in every aspect.

The material of her clothes was elegant and plain, and there were very few hairpins and rings on her head. The thick bangs on her forehead almost covered half of her face.

At first glance, one could only see her small chin and her pale lips, looking like a frail person who had been ill for a long time.

"Lady Xia? What a coincidence, you live here too?"

The two were at the same level, so it was not easy to just ignore each other when they met, so they just said hello.

Xia Luo Ning also noticed her figure, and hurriedly bowed, smiling lightly and said:

"Lady Ruan is well. I live in Huizhuxuan, which should be not far away."

Ruan Guannan suddenly realized, and turned the "new favorite" Jinzhimei ivory-handled palace fan in his hand a few times, and said in a charming voice:

"That's great. I'll come visit you when I'm bored next time."

Xia Luoning nodded as if flattered, "You're welcome anytime."

After saying that, the two of them quickly separated.

On the way back, Ruan Guannan carefully recalled Xia Luoning's appearance, and was more curious about the medicine given by Li Huaiyi.

It can also show symptoms of illness that the imperial physician cannot find out, making it a powerful tool for avoiding favor.

"Master, master!"

Ruan Guannan had just laid down to take a nap when Jin Rui's panicked voice came closer and closer.

"I told you not to be so impatient. The master is taking a nap."

Fuso frowned and whispered.

Jin Rui quickly covered her mouth, her face pale with fear, and she said in a trembling voice:

"I have something to report to the master."

"come in."

Ruan Guannan stood up and leaned on the edge of the bed, calling the two of them in to talk.

As soon as she entered the room, Jin Rui came up to him in a panic, her eyes red, as if she had been bullied.

"Master, Master, I just saw a few vicious eunuchs holding a bloody woman and walking towards the cold palace."

Panic and fear almost overflowed from his eyes, and he continued:

"I have heard that the woman is Concubine Cen. They said that Concubine Cen was so bold that she harmed the emperor. She was imprisoned in the palace and beaten until she was only left with one breath. Now she has been banished to the cold palace."

Ruan Guannan was shocked, "Lady Cen? No wonder she didn't go to pay respects today."

She lowered her head in thought, is this the scapegoat pushed by Li Huaiyi?

Or is there another hidden story?

Looking up at Jin Rui's frightened face, she waved for her to come closer. When she got over, she took her hand soothingly and said seriously:

"Jin Rui, this is the cruelty of the palace. There will be more and more such things in the future. You have to learn to adapt to it."

Seeing her master's worried expression, Jin Rui took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said with a firm look:

"My slave understands."

Such a big thing happened suddenly in the palace, and the harem was very quiet for a while.

Even Concubine Li, who was released from the ban, only dared to speak a few words to Ruan Guannan and did not dare to go too far.

By the time the dark clouds gradually dissipated, Shengjing City had already entered midsummer.

The palace was filled with lush green plants and blooming flowers, which made Ruan Guannan dazzled.

Unfortunately, no matter how good the mood is, it won’t last long.

When she came to a pavilion to avoid the sun, she saw an extremely dazzling figure standing in the shadow of the pavilion not far away, as if he was scolding someone angrily.

"What's wrong with you, little eunuch? My master thinks this hairpin is pretty, what's wrong with that? How dare you refuse my master? You are so bold."

Gu Xiran was wearing bright and colorful clothes, which were particularly eye-catching in this imperial garden full of flowers.

Coupled with the sharp curses, it looks like a colorful sparrow.

All I could hear was the young eunuch hunching over, holding the tray with his head down, and keeping silent, as if he was enduring any scolding from the person in charge.

Seeing him like this, Gu Xiran was simply furious.

"You damn eunuch, why don't you kneel down for your master?"

The young eunuch bent his back even deeper and whispered:

"I must first return the gift from the Emperor to the Imperial Treasures Office before I can accept my punishment."

Gu Xiran almost doubted his own ears. The anger on his face remained on his face, which made it even more funny.

"How dare you! Hold him down! I want to see how tough you are!"

The atmosphere over there was tense and explosive, and Ruan Guannan also watched the joke from a distance.

After seeing this, I wanted to bypass this place and go somewhere else.

The next moment, Gu Xiran's angry voice stopped her.

"Sister Ruan, since you're already here, why do you have to pretend to leave?"

Ruan Guannan rolled his eyes speechlessly, then turned around with a smile and walked over leisurely.

"I was wondering who was so angry? It turned out to be Gu Cairen."

Ruan Guannan walked closer and kindly fanned her twice, his voice full of teasing.

"Gu Cairen is really too hot-tempered. She is so energetic even in such a hot day. Look at the sweat on her forehead. It has even blurred her makeup."

The voice was considerate, but the actions were rude.

Ruan Guannan gave Kong Qing a signal with his eyes and he quickly walked over and slammed the eunuch's arm away with his shoulder. The latter was caught off guard and fell to the ground in a mess.

Gu Xiran was caught off guard by this sudden situation. For some reason, when she saw Ruan Guannan, she subconsciously wanted to retreat.

The first time she paid her respects, she was very scared when she saw Ruan Guannan's face. Later she found out that she was the woman she met on the street that day.

Thinking of the Ruan family behind her, she felt even more fearful, with a hint of timidity that she herself was not aware of.

"Sister Ruan, this eunuch is talking back to me. I want to teach her a lesson. Do you think you can stop me?"

Gu Xiran's words became more and more reasonable, and she glared fiercely at the eunuch who drooped his head.

"puff…"

Ruan Guannan quickly covered half of his face with a fan, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden. His voice was crisp and pleasant, very playful,

"Gu Cairen, why don't you just call me your honorable lady? It's really hard to get used to being called sister by someone older than you."

Gu Xiran's face suddenly turned red, and she pointed at her and said in a trembling voice:

"Don't go too far."

Ruan Guannan continued to smile, raised his hand and used his fan to push away the hand pointing at him, and said calmly:

"This master doesn't like others pointing fingers at me, Mr. Gu, please remember this.

This master heard it from far away. The eunuch said that this was a gift from the emperor, but you still wanted to see it.

I want to ask the emperor to give it to you, otherwise who will be responsible if it gets bumped or broken?"

Gu Xiran was so angry that the hairpins on her head were jingling. She glared at Ruan Guannan, then turned around angrily and left in a hurry.
