When Li Ruo arrived, Yun Ni was kneeling in the imperial study room, and Li Su was sitting in front of the desk watching the memorial, with his brows frowned, not sure if he was really looking at something.

"Your Majesty." Li Ruo called out with a raised voice, and Li Su raised his head, as if he finally found the person he had been waiting for for a long time, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

"The Queen."

Li Ruo glanced at Yun Ni, then bent her legs and knelt down the next moment, "Your Majesty, Li Ruo is guilty."

Li Su was naturally stunned by this kneeling, he stood up suddenly, without even caring about the memorial that fell to the ground, he stepped over and walked in front of her, "Sister Huang, what are you doing?"

"Hong Xing was originally a person close to Li Ruo. Now that she has done such a thing and almost endangered the emperor, Li Ruo is naturally guilty."

Li Su raised Li Ruo's hand, feeling a little uncomfortable, "What are you talking about, Huangjie, get up quickly, I have never blamed Huangjie."

Li Ruo was in a stalemate and refused to get up, while Yun Ni looked at her, showing a sarcasm smile, and then said, "Your Majesty, Chen Jieyu is infected with leprosy, if she is not sent out of the palace early, I'm afraid it will attract people again." unnecessary trouble."

Li Su naturally knew that what Yun Ni was talking about was the most important thing at the moment, but what's the difference between sending Hongxing away early and sending her away a little later?He dragged on for so long, pretending he didn't hear it just to wait for Li Ruolai.Now that Li Ruo came, he didn't plead for Hong Xing, but blamed himself, Li Su didn't know what to do for a while.

"Your Majesty, since this matter is Li Ruo's fault, Li Ruo will definitely settle this matter." After waiting for a while, when Li Su was about to speak again, Li Ruo said softly.

Yun Ni on the side was stunned for a moment, then sneered, just looked at Li Su and waited for his answer.

It was already dark, and Eunuch Li was changing the candlesticks there, so everyone's shadows were stretched extraordinarily long, and the huge imperial study room fell into a deathly silence.

After a long time, Li Su finally nodded, "Everything will be done according to Miss Huang's wishes."

Such an answer did not sound strange to Yun Ni at all.

The emperor is like this, he seems to always choose to obey the eldest princess Liruo, just like when she accused Liruo of being domineering and domineering in the harem with scars all over her body, and privately ordered the imperial physician to treat Liu Guiren, she got an impatient "" That's enough." and "Sister Huang naturally has her reasons for doing things."

People in this royal family are so cruel and unfeeling to other people, so they only have a little affection for their own family members, right?

Yun Ni didn't say much, and stood up at the moment Li Su helped Li Ruo up.Standing there, Li Su's eyes were full of distress, "Sister Huang, don't wrong yourself like this again."

Li Ruo nodded, and glanced at Yun Ni when she got up, now Yun Ni's complexion is much better than before, standing there, a pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes are curved, and it is impossible to tell whether she is smiling, so Li Ruo can't help There was a thump in my heart, but the expression on my face was still maintained, and I didn't say much.

Li Su left Hongxing's affairs to Li Ruo alone, and Li Ruo naturally prepared to rush to Hongxing's place after resigning from Li Su.Just as he walked out of the imperial study room, he heard a crisp voice coming from behind him.

"Sister Huang is very busy." Yun Ni walked over with a smile that was not a smile, and said slightly melancholy after looking at Li Ruo, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Sister Huang so vicissitudes?"

Li Ruo didn't want to say more, but turned around after pursing her lips.

Yin Rong looked at Li Ruo, this was not Li Ruo's temperament, in the past she would not have left so easily, perhaps her usual behavior now is because she was too worried about Hong Xing.

Yun Ni stood there, her thin figure indistinct under the dim candlelight.

Li Ruo, don't I know your thoughts?

The three of them had their own thoughts, and Li Ruo didn't want to entangle with Yun Ni, on the one hand, it was because he was worried about Hong Xing, and he was afraid that if he delayed for a moment, he would suffer more, but on the other hand, it was naturally because of Yun Ni. The incident of Ni's miscarriage made her feel apologetic, and she didn't want to have anything against Yun Ni.

"What are so many people doing guarding!" Once there, there were three teams of people outside the small palace. It's just a team of people. Now that there is one more Hong Xingjiu, will there be so many more people to guard it?

ridiculous!

Under Li Ruo's anger, the guards gradually dispersed.

Inside, the imperial physician was busy going in and out, with a sad look on his face.

"Chen Jieyu, how are you?"

Li Ruo stopped an imperial physician, and the imperial physician took a look at Li Ruo, then shook his head helplessly, "Chen Jieyu has been ill for many years, and now when she gets sick..."

The imperial physician did not continue, but Li Ruo had already guessed the result.

Have been sick for many years?

This leprosy is not a disease that will kill people immediately, but once it gets on, red spots will appear, and when the disease occurs, the body will fester and be very painful.The imperial doctor said that Hongxing has been ill for many years, so...

"Eldest princess, don't touch Chen Jieyu." When Li Ruo entered the room, the imperial physician urged again.

Li Ruo nodded, and was about to leave when Yin Rong grabbed her wrist behind her.

Li Ruo turned her head and looked at Yin Rong's worried face, and at the same time her heart warmed, she reached out and patted the back of her hand lightly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Do you have to go?"

Li Ruo nodded with a smile, "En."

"Then I'll tell you—"

Before Yin Rong could finish speaking, Li Ruo said decisively, "You wait for me outside, I'll come out soon." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked in.

The room was still gloomy, Hong Xing was curled up on the bed, her arms were slightly hanging down, and the mottled and festering scars were all over her arms, making it hard to look directly at.

"Hongxing." Standing outside the curtain, Li Ruo called softly.

The person lying on the bed heard it, moved his fingers slightly, and woke up from the half-dream state in a trance.

"Hongxing." Li Ruo called out again.

Just now, Hong Xing almost used up all her strength to prevent others from coming in, but when the door that had been closed for a long time was suddenly broken, Hong Xing finally gave up.She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. No matter what they wanted to do with her, she accepted her fate.

However, she still did not expect that she would see Li Ruo again.

Hong Xing opened her eyes, the originally clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, showing a little gray.

"Master." She called her again as before.

"Are you okay?" Looking at her slightly terrifying appearance, Li Ruo felt that what she said was really ridiculous.

Is she okay?Can't her own eyes see that, just like this, she can—

"It's okay." Hong Xing forced a smile, "It's about this time, master shouldn't come to see me."

Li Ruo didn't answer, she just felt a little distressed, where did the clever Hong Xing who followed her in the past go?Is this thin and dejected person in front of her really her?

"I thought Master helped me suppress this disease, so I could stay by Master's side safely." Hong Xing coughed softly, "But unexpectedly, I met someone who also had leprosy. The illness that came down suddenly broke out uncontrollably." As she spoke, Hong Xing shook her head with a wry smile, "It's because I don't have this life, and I can't continue to be with Master."

"Red apricot..."

"I have been hiding it from my master. Back then, my mother was infected with leprosy. I had to be taken to Leprosy Town. After I managed to escape, I was arrested by traffickers." Speaking of this, Hong Xing couldn't help laughing Get up, "Later, I was rescued by the master."

Hong Xing lay there, staring at a corner of the room, and began to chatter.

"I don't want to hide it, but I am afraid that if the master finds out, he will send me back to the cave of the living dead. I am careful every step of the way. As long as I don't get sick, I will be fine. Later, the master asked me to learn medicine from my master. Knowing about it, I used medicine to suppress my illness, I thought..." Shaking her head with a wry smile, Hong Xing looked at Li Ruo seriously with tears in her eyes, "Will master blame me?"

"No, it won't." Li Ruo also heard what happened from her words, "Zhuge Jun helped you suppress your illness, and you didn't expect it to end up like this."

Li Ruo's understanding made Hong Xing finally cry uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go back to the cave of the living dead, I..."

Just as Li Ruo was speaking, Yun Ni's voice suddenly came from outside, "Sister Huang, it's getting late, so I just came over to have a look, why haven't you sent Chen Jieyu out of the palace yet?"

Li Ruo froze, she planned to secretly send Hong Xing out of the palace, but now that Yun Ni is here, then...

"Why is the queen here?" Li Ruo came out and looked at Yun Ni, "The emperor said, leave this matter to me, the queen is here..."

"I just feel worried, come and have a look."

When Yun Ni came over, she made it clear that she was afraid of Li Ruo's tricks, and Li Ruo's purpose was naturally very clear.

"Oh, the empress is so worried, why don't you go in and have a look at Chen Jieyu?"

Yun Ni waved the handkerchief in her hand, "Then there's no need, let's send someone in and send Chen Jieyu away."

While speaking, Yun Ni had already waved to the people behind, and immediately a few people dressed as guards came out.

"Quickly wrap Chen Jieyu in a sack and send her out of the palace, otherwise the palace... Tsk tsk, it's really bad luck."

Those guards were also courageous, and they would naturally enter the house if they saw that Li didn't stop them.

Outside the house, Li Ruo looked at Yun Ni indifferently, "Please trouble the queen to go, Li Ruo really feels a little sorry."

Yun Ni would not take it seriously if she was so polite.

At this time, the leading one of the several guards who entered the room suddenly hurried out.

Yun Ni squeezed the handkerchief tightly, "What's the matter?"

"Chen...Chen Jieyu, committed suicide by taking poison."
