"Everyone, please go down."
Ruo Huan ordered as the palace attendants prepared the hot water.
After the palace guests had retired, Ruo Quan took off his bloody clothes and sat in the bathtub.
The warm water opened every pore in her body, making her shiver with warmth.
He hugged his arms tightly and couldn't help but slide down his body, even his head was immersed in the water.
After a long while, she waited until she could hold on no longer, then she raised her head from the water and took a long breath.
"Gege, please come and help Gege take a bath."
Zisu opened the door and came in, saying softly.
"Zisu, why are you up?
Are you okay or injured?"
Ruo Huan asked when he saw Zisu coming in.
Shaking his head, Zi Su said: "It's just a little scratched, and I've already applied medicine, so it'll be fine."
"Let someone else take care of you.
You have been wronged today, so you should take a rest early."
Ruoyu patted the back of Zisu's hand and said.
But Zi Su smiled and said: "Yun Che is still having a fever these days, and the other palace servants are not taking good care of her, so it is better for me as a servant.
Gege Wei hurts her ankle.
After Gege takes a bath, the servant will put some ointment on Gege."
Seeing Zisu's insistence, Ruolan stopped trying to persuade her and turned back to quietly let Zisu wipe her back.
After getting up from the bath and putting on her inner clothes, Ruo Quan sat by the bed and watched Zi Su carefully apply the medicine to her.
The cold ointment was evenly applied to the ankle, and Zi Su's technique was good, which made Ruo Huan gradually calm down.
"Get some sleep, Gege."
Zi Su said softly when she saw that Ruo Huan was sleepy.
"Yeah."
Ruo Huan responded confusedly.
Zi Su stood up and covered Ruo Quan with the quilt, and just as she was about to exit, she heard an announcement from outside that the emperor had arrived.
Looking back, Ruo Huan was obviously awakened by the announcement.
Ruo Huan lifted up the quilt and stood up.
Kangxi had already entered the room.
Seeing Ruo Huan getting up, he raised his hand and said, "Lie down."
Naturally, Ruo Quan did not lie down anymore.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he staggered a little due to the effort.
Zi Su was busy supporting him.
"My feet are still hurt, please sit down."
A waiter moved a stool and placed it next to the bed, and Kangxi sat down and said.
Ruohua responded, sat back on the bed and said, "Why is the emperor here?"
"Come here and see if you are in good health," Kangxi said.
"There is nothing serious about your body, and medicine has been applied to the injury on your foot."
Ruo Huan replied.
"It's fine."
Kangxi pondered for a moment before saying, "I have already sent Du Juan's coffin outside the Great Wall."
Ruo Quan was startled.
Before she could see Du Juan for the last time, she immediately felt relieved.
Forget it, let her go in peace.
Forget about Kangxi, the prince, the Forbidden City, and her.

In the next life, she will be an ordinary girl, marry someone who loves her, have children, and be rich and happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After thinking for a while, Ruo Huan said, "Your Majesty, Ruo Huan has a request."
"you say."
"Ruo Quan wants to advance the date of going to Shengjing and leave in two or three days."
Ruo Quan said softly.
If she could have left here earlier, Du Juan would not have suffered like this.
"Isn't it a bit rushed to leave in two or three days?"
Kangxi frowned.
"Everything I need to bring is almost ready.
There's nothing left to do.
Ruo Huan wants Prince Yu Fu Jin and Sister Yi Mu to think hard.
Ruo Huan knows that he is a bit messy, so he pleases the emperor's permission."
Ruo Huan Chui Head said.
Kangxi sighed: "If that's the case, then go ahead.
In three days, I will ask your elder brother to escort you there."
"Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, in that case, Ruo Huan should go back to Prince Kang's Mansion the day after tomorrow, and just leave directly from the Prince's Mansion the next day."
Ruo Huan said.
"It's up to you."
Kangxi stood up and said, "It's getting late.
You can rest.
I'll go back first."
"Yes, Ruo Huan will send you to your Majesty."
After seeing off Kangxi, Zisu came forward and said, "Servant Princess, please go to bed."
"Zisu, the Thirteenth Master has not been seen in the palace for a while recently."
Today's incident was so big, but no one came to ask about the Thirteenth Brother, which was strange.
I'm afraid that Ba Beile already knows about his own affairs, and I don't know what the news is in the palace.
"Returning to Gege, the Thirteenth Master followed the emperor's order and went out of the palace to assist the Fourth Master.
He has been away from the palace for half a month.
I heard that he left in a hurry.
I guess that's why I didn't tell Gege."
Zi Su He replied with a smile.
"Master Thirteen has been gone for half a month, Shui Lanqiu," Ruo Huan asked.
Zi Su smiled and said: "The Thirteenth Master ordered the Shuilan Qiu early in the morning.
It was just a few days ago that the manufacturing office prepared it and delivered it.
The Thirteenth Master had already ordered it with the slave before."
Ruo Huan nodded and said, "Then do you know when the Fourth Master and the Thirteenth Master will return to Beijing?"
Zi Su shook her head and said: "I don't know about this slave.
I think that when the Thirteenth Master returns to the palace, he will be the first to report to Princess.
Do you want me to ask for Princess?"
After hearing what Zi Su said, Ruo Huan didn't explain.
Zi Su had always misunderstood her and the Thirteenth Brother.
At first, Ruo Huan wanted to make a few excuses, but it was an indisputable fact that she had a good relationship with the Thirteenth Brother.
They happened many times.

Yes, Ruo Huan has no intention of unraveling it.
Ruohua waved his hand and said, "No need, you can go down."
"Yes."
Zisu then bowed and retreated.
It didn't matter if he wasn't there.
During the few months he was in Shengjing, he hoped to downplay Kangxi's thoughts.
He didn't know if he could wait until the "First Abolition" in September next year.
He was afraid that he would be recalled to Beijing in advance by an imperial edict and married by another imperial edict.
If you wear more clothes, you will be locked up for the rest of your life.
Early on the next morning, Ruo Huan got up and reported from outside that Si Beile and Thirteenth Brother were here.
Without thinking too much, Ruo Quan walked towards the flower hall, his heart beating like a drum and his steps going fast and slow.
Before reaching the flower hall, the thirteenth elder brother came towards him.
Ruo Huan paused, and the thirteenth elder brother had already walked up to Ruo Huan.
"Did I ask you to wait for a long time and come out to look for me?"
Ruo Huan asked with a smile.
As soon as Ruowan joked, Thirteenth Brother's frown widened and he replied: "Fourth brother is inside.
He already knows it.
You go and talk to him.
I'll come back to look for him later."
Seeing Ruowan, Blinking his eyes, Thirteenth Brother added, "Don't worry, I know Fourth Brother's temper best, and he can control himself best.
As long as you talk to him calmly, there will be no problem."
Ruo Huan nodded and was about to move forward.
The thirteenth elder brother said from behind: "These days, the fourth brother has been running errands without sleep or food, thinking of coming back soon so that we can settle things with you as soon as possible.
I looked at the fourth brother His face looked tired but still full of energy.
I wanted to speak several times, but I didn’t know where to start.
Last night, we returned to Beijing half a month early.
Unexpectedly, just after we arrived in Beijing, the fourth brother heard about the incident between you and the prince.
I have been with the fourth brother for so many years.
I've seen him lose his temper twice, the first time.
It was when Empress Xiao Yiren passed away."
After a brief pause, the Thirteenth Brother continued, "Fourth brother immediately mounted his horse and ran to the palace gate, regardless of his own body and the opposition of others.
Unfortunately, the key to the palace gate was missing.
My brother is sick and he doesn’t dare to go back home.
Ge Ku sat in the study and didn't sleep all night.
He rushed into the palace when the palace door opened, but it was still dark and he didn't want to disturb you.
He walked around in the imperial garden until Xiao Dizi came.
Report, the door of Fengyin Pavilion opened, and he came here immediately. " "Thirteen" Ruo Huan turned around and stared at the back of Brother Thirteen.
The thirteenth elder brother also turned around and said: "Ruo Quan, I have been following the fourth brother since I was a child.
Since you entered the palace, I have been friends with you.
You two are the two of you who I worry about the most.
Don't call me Southern Patrol.
Things have separated you.
If you need someone to talk to Emperor Ama in the future, I, Thirteen, will be the first person."
Ruo Huan pursed his lips, his eyes already filled with mist, and all his emotions turned into a bitter "thank you".
Approaching the flower hall, Sibeile stood tall with his back to the door, one hand hanging by his side, and the other clenching his fist behind his back.

Ruo Quan stood at the door, and his long shadow fell on Si Beile, bright and dark.
"Fourth Master."
Before she finished speaking, Ruo Huan had lowered her head.
She didn't dare to look at him.
Even though she said in her heart countless times that it was not her fault, it was not her fault, she was the victim, but when she saw him After four bells, she became short of breath unconsciously.
Hearing Ruoyu's voice, Sibeile slowly turned around.
At the door, Ruo Quan's whole body melted into the sunlight, which seemed a bit unreal.
She lowered her head, and there was backlight, so Sibeile couldn't see her appearance clearly.
"Yeah" someone suddenly grabbed his wrist and was dragged into the house, which startled Ruoyu.
But in an instant, the dazzling sunlight disappeared from the room.
"Ruo Quan, Ruo Quan, Ruo Quan, Ruo Quan", the emotion in Si Beile's voice was different every time he said it, "Ruo Quan."
After shouting it countless times, Si Beile finally took Ruo Quan into his arms. inside.
Ruo Huan bit her lower lip tightly, but her lips were already trembling.
"I know you're feeling miserable.
If you want to hit or scold me, just come to me.
Don't cry alone."
Sibeile said solemnly.
"How do you know?"
How do you know that I cry secretly alone, how do you know that I am suffering in my heart?
"Because I've been looking at you."
Sibei tightened his arms.
After calming down, Ruo Quan withdrew from Sibeile's arms and murmured, "You already know about the southern tour."
Sibeile didn't reply to her immediately.
He just kept staring at her for a long time before saying, "Don't tell me that you changed your mind."
"If something like this happens, do you think the emperor will still agree to our affairs?"
Ruo Huan lowered her head and whispered, and she could feel the hand holding her arm trembling.
"So, I'm afraid we can't talk to the emperor about our matters."
Ruowan glanced at Sibeile timidly, but suddenly met his eyes, and he was startled, and his whole body panicked.
Seemingly suppressing his emotions, Sibeile said, "Don't worry about these, I will find a way."
Ruo Huan was struggling in his heart, how could she tell him that as long as she waited until September next year, the matter would be over.
He would definitely wonder how he knew, and she couldn't explain this to him.
Sibeile held Ruoyu's hand and said solemnly: "I will think of a way.
As long as the imperial edict is not issued, there is still room for change."
"What are you going to do?"
Ruo Huan asked hurriedly.
She had her own plan.
She didn't want him to be involved in this matter.
The other party was the prince, and there was Kangxi behind him.
No matter what happened in the future, he could not act rashly at this moment. of.
"You can go to Shengjing with peace of mind.
It's good for a change of scenery.
Leave the rest to me."
Sibeile did not respond directly to Ruo Huan.
"Don't let the current situation be so tense.
Don't make your long-cherished wish for so many years impossible and uncertain for my sake."

Ruo Huan shook his head.
"Ruo Huan, do you still remember what you told me about your ambitions and interests when you were still the maid of Qianqing Palace?"
Thinking of the past, the expression on Sibeile's face gradually softened.
After being stunned for a moment, Ruo Huan said: "A few poles of green bamboo, a pot of thin wine, two or three close friends, trust and happiness."
The memories were brought back, and Ruo Huan's heart gradually calmed down.
"From that time on, I also had one more wish in my heart."
Sibeile murmured, leaning his forehead against Ruo Huan's.
"What?"
Ruo Huan raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
"A few acres of thin fields, a thatched house, and two or three children are enough."
Sibeile slowly slid his head towards Ruo Huan's neck and whispered.
It wasn't until this moment that Ruo Huan's tears finally fell.
Sibeile kissed away Ruohua's tears and whispered: "Leave it to me, do you hear me?"
Ruowan finally nodded and said in a choked voice: "Don't act rashly, nothing will happen.
When I come back from Shengjing next year, there will be a long period of time in between.
No one can say what changes will happen."
Sibeile laughed out loud, patted Ruo Huan on the head and said, "Don't think so much, my woman."
My woman, his woman.
Ruoyu's heart froze and he said timidly: "How much do you know about the Southern Patrol?"
Sibeile pressed Ruo Huan's lips with her fingers and whispered, "I don't care."
Ruo Huan hesitated to speak, but he still felt uneasy and didn't care.
How many men would not care?
Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and now is not before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
How could an uncle marry his sister-in-law and his aunt and nephew to the same husband?
custom.
He is such a proud person, can he really not care?
Ruo Huan knows that if this matter is not revealed, it will become a thorn in the throat.
Even if love acts as a cover-up for a moment, will she still not care when she fades away, gets old, and gets tired of it?
Will she really take it?
No, really.
After taking two steps back, Ruo Huan lowered his head and said, "Let me think about it again, think about it again."
The sudden failure in his palm made Sibeile suddenly feel a sense of loss in his heart.
He wanted to take a step closer, but Ruo Huan took another step back.
The step was not big, but his heart stopped.
Finally lowering his arms, Sibeile's voice returned to calmness, and he turned sideways and said in a deep voice: "Then, I'll go back first."
"Yeah."
Ruoyu didn't look at him and only responded softly.
She didn't know when Sibeile left.
It wasn't until Zisu came in and called her that she realized that an entire afternoon had passed.
She was about to move her feet, but her legs were so stiff that she still stood there.
Zi Su knelt down quietly and gently rubbed Ruo Huan's legs.
After a long while, Ruohua finally felt some sensation in his legs.
He gently pulled Zisu up and said, "That's it."
"Gege, it's time for lunch.
Please help Gege to have lunch."

Zi Su said softly.
Ruo Huan responded and said, "Let's put it in the room."
After a pause, Ruo Huan added, "Let's put some mustard on it.
My mouth has been feeling bad lately."
Zi Su went down in response to the order and went back to the house to help Ruo Huan all the way back to the room.
In the room, the dining table had been set.
Ruo Quan had cleared everyone out of the room, then he picked up his chopsticks and picked up the mustard mound.
The pungent smell made Ruo Huan couldn't help but squint his eyes and purse his lips.
After the rush, Ruo Huan picked up another one.
The second wave of spicy gas hit him, and Ruo Huan finally burst into tears.
The first tear fell, the second, and the third could never be stopped.
The bottom of the plate of mustard was instantly seen, and the chopsticks were lying on the table.
Ruo Huan's arms hung weakly, letting his tears keep rolling down.
She never knew she could be so hypocritical.
Even though he said he didn't care, even though he asked her to leave everything to him, and even though nothing happened between her and the prince, she just refused to give in.
She knew that as long as she softened her tone a little, she wouldn't be like this now.
However, she really couldn't let it go, she couldn't turn the corner, she just couldn't overcome her obstacles, and she wanted to slap herself in the mouth so many times.
When Zi Su came in to clean up the dishes, she found that Ruo Huan had fallen asleep crying with his head on his arms.
Zi Su sighed, and together with several palace maids, he gently helped Ruo Huan to the bed.
Zi Su twisted the hot towel again, cleaned Ruo Huan's face, and then led the group of people out of the room
