Chapter 243

It seems that the light rain in early spring swept away all the haze in the past winter, and it was fine weather for several days in a row. Different from the fine weather outside, the palace is still lifeless. In the stillness of the stagnant water, it seems that something is about to break through the ground, with a trace of budding, which makes people feel that the danger is approaching for no reason.

In Yingshui palace, a beautiful young woman is sitting in front of the dressing table. She is wearing a colorful and dark brocade palace dress. Although the color is not very bright, the best materials and embroidery needles are enough to attract people's eyes. While wearing a Chaohuang bun, it looks beautiful, but it's a little less bright. Although it's still young, its makeup is complicated, showing a bit different from usual.

Her hand painted with bright red Cardan gently stroked her cheek. Her white cheek showed some delicate color because of rouge embellishment, but it was not as natural as a girl. Beauty was beautiful, but it was like a bunch of artificial flowers, which seemed stiff and soulless.

The maid of Honor outside came in to report and said, "madam, Miss Zhao is here."

"Come in, please." Dong Ying'er smiles a little. She gets up and goes to one side of the soft couch to lie down.

As soon as Dong Ying'er Fang entered the temple, she saw the scene and was stunned.

The soft couch coat with gorgeous beauty saw her coming, but it showed a smile: "Zhao Jin."

Zhao Jin calm down, standing in the same place seems to be hesitant for a while, just lift feet toward the soft couch. Dong Ying'er has already patted the soft couch and said with a smile, "come and sit here."

"This I'm afraid it's not very good. " Zhao Jin pursed her lips and said, "the lady has golden branches and leaves..."

"Why do you and I have to say this before? Have you forgotten that we used to embroider handkerchiefs together and nap on a couch?" Dong Ying'er waved her hand, and Zhao Jin was speechless because of her light words.

Perhaps Dong Ying'er's words touched her deep memory. Zhao Jin couldn't help but think of her old girlhood. She, Dong Ying'er, Lin Zixiang and Wen Feifei were friends who grew up together. At that time, the three were carefree. They just wanted to have something delicious and fun every day. There was no family quarrel or court dispute. All the troubles in the world had nothing to do with them. It was about the happiest day in their life. Today, the Zhao family is just like the fire cooking oil. Now it's safe, but who knows what to do next What is it. Step by step, step by step wrong, the whole set are falling rope, this is to do, this is a gamble. A trace of sadness flashed across her face. She still went to Dong Ying'er and sat down. Then she looked up at her old friends.

Dong Yinger looks very different from the past. Whether it's make-up or clothes, or the look on her face, although she is smiling and wants to make the same intimacy as before, there is no brightness in the face as a girl, but more coolness and sophistication. Perhaps life in the palace is not easy either. Dong Yinger was sent to the palace at the same age as Hua. Her father said that Dong Yinger is now in a high position in the harem, but in Zhao Jin's opinion, this is all nonsense. Where is the palace? If you want to be rich, you naturally feel good. But Dong Ying'er has been pampered since childhood. Wealth is nothing to her, but what she lost after entering the palace is more valuable. That's why she seems so strange now. Zhao Jin sighed in her heart. Among them, the most unfortunate one is Dong Yinger.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jin felt sympathy for Dong Ying'er, but she didn't have her own eyes in Dong Ying'er's eyes. A trace of disgust flashed across her face. Then he heard Dong Ying'er's voice with a smile: "after I entered the palace, I seem to have little contact with you. Now when I meet you, I have a feeling that things are right and people are wrong. I don't know if you have such a feeling."

After Dong Yinger entered the palace, her former sisters had visited her. But at that time, Dong Yinger was gloomy and didn't pay much attention to her every time. Lin Zixiang was a fiery man. At that time, he had a quarrel with Dong Yinger, but Dong Yinger didn't say anything. Later, when Lin Zixiang saw some of them, he said, "she's determined to alienate us. Forget it, the relationship she's seeking is not long. We treat her as sisters, but she doesn't treat us as sisters."

At first, Wen Feifei and Zhao Jin didn't believe it. They were both generals. They were not as sensitive to people's feelings as Lin Zixiang. But even if they were slow, they gradually realized that Lin Zixiang was right. Dong Yinger was consciously alienating them. Zhao Jin even thinks that several times she went to the palace with her mother and tried to talk to Dong Yinger, but she was shirked by Dong Yinger's maid because she had something to do. Every time, it was like this, but it was like trying to embarrass her. Zhao Jin couldn't figure it out, but when she came back to the palace later, she didn't inquire about Dong Ying'er's news so enthusiastically. Who wants to use her hot face to stick others' cold ass?

However, at the moment, Zhao Jin sighed: "it's true. At the beginning, you were the best at dealing with affairs and making friends. Now, it seems that you are really promising." Is it really promising? I'm afraid not, but now Zhao Jin is not the one who didn't know anything at the beginning. Zhao Jin took it. The pressure of the family made her mature gradually, and she began to have her own thinking. For the changed Dong Ying'er, how could he be as open-minded as before? He was always separated in his heart.Dong Ying'er took a meaningful look at Zhao Jin and shook her head: "time is really merciless. I didn't expect that a straightforward person like you would say such smooth words now. Why do you say more in front of me? If you know that I grew up with you, you and I don't have to guess much. Is this palace really good? Your so-called promise is nothing. Maybe if your majesty returns one day for a hundred years, I will accompany you too. "

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Jin was surprised. She looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping. She was relieved to see that no one was listening. For a moment, she forgot Dong Ying'er's identity, knocked her head, and said: "nonsense, such words can also be nonsense. What are you thinking all day? It's said that when you enter the palace, you should pay attention. How can you be so smart and stupid? " Zhao Jin one breath finish saying, oneself also Leng for a while, suddenly discover oneself imperceptibly in unexpectedly gaffe. After all, I grew up together in handkerchief. I still have some old feelings in my heart, that is, I feel that I have been born. But when the other party is in danger, I can't help thinking about the other party.

Dong Ying'er seems to be surprised by Zhao Jin's action, and a trace of complex emotion passes in her eyes. Then she says lazily: "what's so terrible? The palace is in such a deep water every day. If you are worried every day, you can't live any longer? As you think, life is worse than death. "

Her words with a rare cold thin and casual, as if do not cherish their own life, this kind of dispirited and Xiaosuo let Zhao Jin heart a pain. At the beginning, the four of them, Lin Zixiang's forthrightness is almost old-fashioned, and she and Wen Feifei are careless generals. When they are together, it is inevitable that they will have disputes. At that time, Dong Yinger comes out to settle the dispute. It may be that Mr. Dong is very tactful, and Mr. Dong Ying'er is quite a father. He is very considerate when he is young. At that time, Lin Zixiang was a few playmates. He didn't say anything, but he was secretly convinced of Dong Yinger. Dong Ying'er is always kind and generous. Naturally, everyone likes her. Such a bright girl now looks like a withered tree. Zhao Jin can't tell what it's like, but it's hard to feel.

Seeing this, Dong Ying'er began to smile and said, "it's not for this that I asked you to come to the palace today. I just want to be with you for a crime."

"Make amends?" Zhao Jin Leng Leng, looking at her: "what crime?"

"When you thought I alienated you, it was not your illusion, but my intention. I really alienated you on purpose, because there was a time when I hated you very much and envied you, so I didn't want to see you. Seeing you made me angry. At that time, I thought that I would not have you as a friend. That's why I took such an attitude. I think it hurt your heart. "

Hearing this, Zhao Jin was even more puzzled. She didn't mind the others in Dong Yinger's words. Instead, she asked, "why do you hate me and envy me, but what did I do wrong?"

Among several playmates, her estrangement is the most obvious, almost without any cover up. Zhao Jin herself is also very confused. Now listening to Dong Ying'er's words, she asks the question she always wants to ask.

"Is your marriage with general Jiang finished? When is the wedding wine Dong Yinger smiles and asks another question.

"Next spring..." Zhao Jin is a little embarrassed: "the eight characters have not been changed yet..."

"I've heard all about it. Now that you two have reached an agreement, it's not far away." Dong Ying'er said with a smile: "general Jiang is a good soldier. He is young and promising. Sister Ruan is your sister-in-law and won't let you be bullied by him. Besides, there is no master or wife. In the past, you were in charge of the family. There will only be a good life. "

Zhao Jin was embarrassed by Dong Ying'er, but she felt that when they talked like this, they seemed to go back to those carefree girls' time. They were talking about which childe and which Lady they fell in love with, making fun of each other. She said with a smile, "you haven't said why you hate me?"

Dong Ying'er took a look at her, which puzzled Zhao Jin. She sighed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. At first, I was happy with general Jiang."

In one word, all the questions will be answered. Zhao Jin Lengleng Leng listening, the mind crossed some fragments, intertwined together, almost let her brain a clear. At the beginning, Jiang Xinzhi was not as powerful as he is now. He just appeared in the court, but he saved her and Dong Yinger at the Palace Banquet. At that time, Dong Yinger seemed to be a bit coy, and seemed to like Jiang Xinzhi very much. But at that time, Zhao Jin thought that Dong Ying'er's admiration for an excellent man was just like her eagerness for the elegant scholar. But now listen to Dong Yinger's words, at that time, she really liked Jiang Xinzhi?

A good sister falling in love with the same man is fatal to any friendship. Zhao Jin never thought that it would happen to her. She thought that Dong Ying'er was just a child's plaything, but she used her heart. She suddenly felt that she didn't know how to face Dong Yinger. It was anger, because Dong Yinger was going to be a stranger with her because of this? Or should be guilty, as a good friend, actually never aware of Dong Yinger's mood.

Dong Ying'er said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking at the moment is that you think I am shameless or immoral. It's all in the past. When I first entered the palace, I was reluctant, so I didn't accept my fate. When I saw you all living so well, I would feel jealous and think about why I was the only one in the world who was so unfortunate. But now that I have accepted my fate, God is about fair. My life has already been grasped by him. Why struggle? When I accept my fate, my thoughts about general Jiang will be gone. Don't worry. Now I'm like a mirror in my heart. It's gone. "What she said was calm and full of vicissitudes, which made people even angry. Zhao Jin had some confused complex mood in her words gradually calm down. Just listen to Dong Yinger's faint voice: "I say this to you today, just don't want to leave regret, everyone has a time to die, but it's too unwilling to die with regret. I don't have many friends in the palace. When I was at home, you were the only ones. I don't want to... With regret. " After a pause, Dong Ying'er said, "I just said that. I don't know when I will go back. Before that, I always hope to leave something to think about."

As soon as Zhao Jin heard this, she immediately thought of her previous words and asked, "did you hear something? Why do you keep saying that? Mr. Dong didn't think of any way? The tone of your words is as if you don't want to live. "

"How?" Dong Ying'er laughed bitterly: "as I have said, this is my destiny. What can I do. The first half of my life has been ruined. What can I do next? It is to leave a life, anonymity, even their own home can not return, what is the meaning of living? As for my father, since he sent me in to protect the Dong family and wanted to do everything to the end, I might as well have given the Dong family a full reputation, or at least added a title of loyalty. "

"It's wrong of you to do this. How can you..." Zhao Jin still wanted to speak, but Dong Ying'er interrupted her. She said, "Zhao Jin, can you forgive me?"

"I..." When a man is dying, his words are good. Moreover, Zhao Jin thought carefully that Dong Ying'er didn't do anything out of the ordinary except to treat them coldly. We all grew up together. Speaking of Jiang Xinzhi, Zhao Jin felt sorry for Dong Yinger, but fate was unable to force her. Dong Yinger is too poor to be in such a field now. She calmed down, looked at Zhao Jin and said, "I never blame you. It's no big deal to like someone. I don't blame you. I'll always be your sister."

Dong Ying'er chuckled, reached for Zhao Jin's hand, and said with a smile, "I know that you are the one who is most easily talked about over the years. I'm afraid you're the only one who can be so generous and don't care about me. If you fall in love with your sweetheart... " She laughed at herself and said, "have you brought anything into the palace?"

Zhao Jin is listening to Dong Ying'er's words carefully. Hearing the words, she says, "yes, I asked my brother to steal it from me. He doesn't know that I brought it into the palace." Zhao Jin's hometown is rich in precious ginseng. The emperor has been seriously ill these days. The use of ginseng in the palace is getting faster and faster. It takes too long to collect it everywhere. Zhao Jin's family has two good ginseng. This is something we have known for a long time. Dong Ying'er asked Zhao Jin if she had any and brought them to boil some medicine for the emperor in the palace. Zhao Jin agreed. Her father didn't care about these things all day long. As long as he let his brother steal it, it would be OK. Zhao Jin only said that he would take a friend's sick husband and his second brother didn't say much.

"Thank you very much," Dong Ying'er said with a smile. "Although he is the emperor, he has three thousand beauties in the harem, but I also hope he can live longer, for nothing else, even for myself..." She looked at Zhao Jin: "thank you."

"You and I don't have to thank each other." Zhao Jin's heroism is the source of his wisdom.

They began to talk and laugh again, just like a pair of good sisters who had never been estranged. It's too late to say that. Because Zhao's carriage is still waiting outside, and the emperor is seriously ill, Dong Yinger can't keep her, so she asks her maid to send Zhao Jin out of the palace.

After Zhao Jin left, the Yingshui hall was empty again, leaving Dong Yinger alone. She walked slowly to the pile of gifts left by Dong Yinger and held the innermost sandalwood box. The box is extremely exquisite, carved with old pine crane, meaning longevity. As soon as you open it, a flawless old ginseng will appear in front of you. You can smell it, and even smell a fragrance of ginseng.

This is really the participation of the Zhao family. Zhao Jin didn't lie. She really did what she said. In fact, it doesn't play a very important role. Although it is precious, it can only assist in hanging life at most. It's impossible to bring the dead back to life. So the Zhao family doesn't really value these two ginseng as treasures. They really want to get some more from their hometown.

Dong Ying'er reaches out her hand and gently picks up the old ginseng in the box, with an imperceptible smile on her face. She untied a sachet from her waist, and then took out another locked small box from under the dresser. She took out a bottle of water like things from the inside, poured some powder from the sachet, mixed it in the bottle, and carefully shaked it up. Then the root of the old ginseng was gently immersed in the water in the bottle from bottom to top. I don't know how long it took to take it out.

After putting things away again, Dong Ying'er put the old ginseng back into the small box, went back to the couch, pulled out a jade hairpin from his head, and played with it carefully, with a sneering smile on his lips.

Friendship, destiny, what is that? The so-called friendship is just a betrayal of self-protection, and fate has always been in the hands of the powerful. The world has always been so unfair. Since it is so unfair, why should she follow those rules? Affection? Not as good as grass!

Dong Ying'er thinks that only Zhao Jin can believe her in this world. But why does Zhao Jin believe it? Is it stupid or naive? Dong Yinger believes it must be the latter. Because Zhao Jin is protected in a stable environment, she has the right to be naive. If she wants to climb up in the palace, if she is naive, she will fall to pieces if she is not careful. Why and why?Dong Ying'er's fingernails embedded in his palm, but did not seem to feel pain, her smile distorted: "Zhao Jin, this is what you owe me, you robbed my life and happiness, now, it's time for me to ask you back."

She called one of the maids who came in, and said, "pack up the things that Miss Zhao sent. There are two thousand year old ginseng in the box. Please remember to send them to the imperial dining room and fry some pieces when you cook medicine for your majesty later."

……

The maid of honor sent Zhao Jin outside the palace, and Zhao Jin said with a smile, "go back, I'm in the carriage." The maid of honor left. Zhao Jin was about to step on her carriage when she heard someone calling her name: "jin'er."

Zhao Jin looked back. Jiang Xinzhi was walking this way. Zhao Jin was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Come to the palace and discuss with the Empress Dowager about a Ruan. I want to send some soldiers out to look for people." Jiang Xinzhi replied briefly. Seeing her nodding, he asked, "how did you enter the palace?"

"Yinger asked me to come." Zhao Jindao, seeing Jiang Xinzhi's strange appearance, took the initiative to add: "Dong Xiuyi, Dong Yinger."

Jiang Xinzhi understood this. Thinking of seeing Dong Yinger with a strange face on that day, he could not help frowning and said, "what did she want you to do in the palace, but did she embarrass you?"

"No, No." Zhao Jin waved her hand and thought about it, then she took Jiang Xinzhi's arm and walked to her carriage: "let's talk about it."

Jiang Xinzhi followed Dong Yinger into the carriage. There were a few children in the carriage, and Dong Yinger poured a cup of tea for Jiang Xinzhi. At this moment, when he got on the carriage, he found that Jiang Xinzhi's face was full of fatigue, and his chin was not cleaned up, which made him look decadent and embarrassed. Zhao Jin and Jiang Xinzhi have not seen each other for a long time. Since Jiang Ruan was abducted, Jiang Xinzhi has been busy investigating Jiang Ruan's whereabouts every day. Zhao Jin knows that he is very busy, but at the moment, maybe Jiang Xinzhi is even harder than he thought. Zhao Jin can't help feeling a little distressed.

Jiang Xinzhi drank the tea from Zhao Jin and wiped her mouth. Zhao Jin asked, "is there any news from sister Ruan?"

Jiang Xinzhi heard that his eyes were dark and shook his head.

Zhao Jin also accompany sad up, Jiang Ruan and her relationship is not bad, Jiang Ruan after the accident, Zhao Jin also central his brother launched friends to go out looking for people, but for decades have passed, Leng is no news of Jiang Ruan. Zhao Jin is very anxious, and some bad rumors are all over the place. It's said that Jiang Ruan may have encountered some unexpected events. As a good friend of Jiang Ruan, Zhao Jin naturally doesn't believe it. But what does it mean to have no news? Zhao Jin is also very afraid.

"How could there be no news?" Zhao Jin asked: "it's impossible for these people to go far. The gate of the capital was guarded on that day, and we never met anyone suspicious. Since we are in the capital, we have almost turned over the whole capital these days. There is still no news. Could it be that those people can't escape from the sky? How can a living person not have any news? It must be that the officials are not good at doing things, That's why we can't find anyone. " Zhao Jin is a little angry and puts the responsibility on Jing Zhaoyin's head.

But Jiang Xinzhi shook his head with a wry smile: "these people had a premeditated plan. Now they can't find a Ruan so well, which reflects this point. It's really difficult to find people who can't even find the royal guards. Moreover, these people are most likely from southern Xinjiang. " Jiang Xinzhi said that he could not hide his worry. He knew that the means of the people in southern Xinjiang were the most cruel. What he worried about most was that those crazy people in southern Xinjiang treated Jiang Ruan cruelly. As long as he thought about the torture Jiang Ruan might suffer, he would feel a sharp pain in his heart. He and Jiang Ruan have been living together for so many years. He is still Jiang Ruan's elder brother, but he can't even protect his younger sister. If Jiang Ruan really has any problems, Jiang Xin will never forgive himself.

"Believe it, I'm a little scared." Zhao Jin holds Jiang Xinzhi's hand: "I. I feel very upset. " The daughter of the general's family also heard about the cruelty of the people in southern Xinjiang. After so many days, Jiang Ruan has no news at all. What does it mean to have no news? Is it possible that something has happened? Everyone will think so.

"No Jiang Xinzhi held Zhao Jin's hand, his big hand wrapped Zhao Jin's small hand in the palm, holding warm and powerful, his tone was also low, slow but firm: "no, a Ruan is very smart and strong, in any adversity will not give up, she is my sister, I know her better than anyone. She will find a way to save herself, waiting for us to save him

Zhao Jin smiles when she hears the speech. It seems that Jiang Xinzhi's words also make her feel at ease. She doesn't say anything any more, just puts her head on Jiang Xinzhi's shoulder. Jiang Xinzhi suddenly thought of something and asked, "what does Dong Yinger want you to do in the palace today?"

Zhao Jin was stunned and thought of Dong Yinger's words in the palace, but she was in a bit of a dilemma in the face of Jiang Xinzhi. She couldn't tell Jiang Xinzhi what Dong Yinger thought of him. Although there is still some slight discomfort in her heart, Zhao Jin is not a caring person, but she is not used to lying, so she has to say vaguely: "it's just going to the palace to talk about the past."

"You've always been indifferent to each other. What can I do for you?" Jiang Xinzhi pointed out the mistake in Zhao Jin's words.Zhao Jin was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe. She is also in a state of confusion. Maybe she is not sure about her future. There is no one in the palace to speak to. Anyway, we grew up together, and I will never harm her. Maybe now she can only trust me and talk to me for a while. There is nothing else

This is half true and half false, but it's really a reason. Jiang Xinzhi was silent for a long time when he heard the words. After a long time, he said, "you'd better not meet her any more

Zhao Jin was surprised and thought about what Jiang Xinzhi said. She didn't know that Jiang Xinzhi had just met Dong Yinger not long ago, and she didn't know that side caused the disturbance. She only said that Jiang Xinzhi saw something, but it should not be possible, so she asked: "why?"

"The forces in the palace are complex." Jiang Xin said: "your Zhao family is now in an awkward position. If you pull too much with her, one of you will accidentally take you into the Zhao family. It will be up to you to see how you end up." Jiang Xinzhi threatened her like this. I can't tell Zhao Jin that Dong Yinger is not a good person. Moreover, with Zhao Jin's straightforward nature, it's not necessarily possible to listen to what she said. It's better to involve the Zhao family. Dong Yinger is most filial, just for the sake of the Zhao family. He will weigh up some points in advance when he does things next time.

Smell speech, Zhao Jin really is no longer argue, just some stuffy hang head to go. Knowing that she was easy to get into a dead end every time, Jiang Xinzhi didn't persuade her. Knowing that she would always figure it out by herself, he just rubbed Zhao Jin's head. But the heaviness in the eyes didn't relax at all.

Jiang Ruan has always been his biggest concern.

At the moment, Jiang Ruan is in a quiet yard or a room, watching the big white dog lying down at his feet. These days, every day she would ask the dumb maid to cook more food and share it with the dog, so she didn't have to make a separate dog food. Dumb maidservant did not doubt that he had a large amount of food every day. Jiang Ruan had to eat a lot of food, and the dogs had to eat some, but in the eyes of the dumb maidservant, the big white dog was greedy.

In such a peaceful day, Jiang Ruan was worried. Why Xuanli didn't do it? Only when Xuanli did, could the plan be implemented faster. Now she is pregnant with the body, this place is clean, but if there is an accident, it will be discovered, and it will only cause a lot of trouble. What she wants to do now is not to protect her baby.

When she thought about this, she felt a surge in her throat, and the feeling of nausea came back. She held the pillar beside the bed and retched. At this time, dumb maid with tea is a foot in the door, see this scene is also a Zheng, immediately ran forward in a panic, some at a loss to look at Jiang Ruan, do not know how.

Jiang Ruan just stroked his chest, the reaction of pernicious joy became more and more obvious day by day. As soon as he looked up, he saw the dumb maid's anxious eyes. Oh, no, she screamed in her heart. Without thinking about it, she immediately said, "what's added to the meal today? It's so painful in my stomach!"

Dumb maidservant a Zheng, immediately want to run out. "Stop!" said Jiang Ruan

Zhao Jinwen, Feifei and Lin Zixiang represent a good wish. People can't stay in the same place forever, but good people hope that they will always keep a kind and innocent heart ~
