"Esteemed Pingfei, if you don't want to see this servant, this servant will take his leave." It's getting cold today. Empress, you must take care of yourself. The emperor has always been thinking about you. " Eunuch Lin still couldn't hear the sounds inside. She thought that it might be because esteemed wangfei didn't want to see him, so he decided to come back tomorrow morning.

Wait! Wait a minute!

He saw the footsteps beneath the door begin to move again, and he yelled in his mind to speed up. However, even though she was completely powerless, she was still a distance away from the door. Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, she took off her shoes and threw them at the door.

'Clank! '

Eunuch Lin stopped in his tracks and turned around. He glanced at the door and smiled helplessly. He murmured to himself, "What a strange man. No wonder those servants didn't dare to come in."

With that, he stood in place for a while longer before turning around and striding towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Xiaoxiao used her willpower to get to the door, and waited for her to stand up with much difficulty, before forcefully pulling open the door. Outside the door, there was no one else. There was no sign of Eunuch Lin.

She mustered the courage to turn around. Due to her fear of closing her eyes, she no longer felt that sinister aura around her. Opening his eyes, the fallen leaves in the yard stopped falling, and everything seemed to return to tranquility.

Heavens!

This place was truly too strange.

She patted her chest that was jumping up and down, gasping for breath. The sweat on her forehead and the rain dripping from the eaves were not able to distinguish the color of autumn, causing her back to become wet again.

"Child, why have you come?" It was unknown when Pingfei's white body had appeared before Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Ah!" Xiaoxiao lowered her head and screamed out loud. The voice that was blocked just now was so loud and shocking that it scared her so much that she began to wildly jump about while waving her hands.

"Xiaoxiao, what happened to you?" Pingfei looked at the fear in Xiaoxiao's eyes with a puzzled expression. She reached out to grab both her hands and frowned.

"Mother …" "Mother!"

Pingfei's gentle and familiar voice entered her ears. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, one hand comforting her chest that was about to jump out. She slowly raised her head.

"It's mother!" Pingfei looked at Xiaoxiao with a benevolent smile as her brows furrowed.

"Mother!" Xiaoxiao seemed to have received a reprieve as she threw herself into Pang Fei's embrace. In her palm, the rouge flower that had crawled on the ground just now had been crushed. The rouge flower's water dyed her palm red, looking somewhat like fresh blood that had just flowed out.

"Good boy!" Don't be afraid, your mother is here, don't be afraid! " Pang Fei gently patted her back as she looked into the courtyard. Smiling, she waved her hand as if to say goodbye.

Xiaoxiao crawled on Princess Pingping's shoulder. She hadn't completely calmed down yet, so where would she pay attention to such details? She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.

It was good to have a mother, a child like a treasure, a child without a mother was a stalk of grass!

It was the great imperial palace, and her patch of grass swayed in the wind. Even her habitat was messed up by that stinking woman, Lan Yuyan.

Pitiful! Tragic!

"Why did you come here so late?" Pingfei pulled Xiaoxiao up from her embrace and looked her up and down. Her gaze rested on the rabbit ears above her head.

"Mother!" The people here are very bad, they... They're bullying me! All of them were inhumane, all of them … "Wah!" Xiaoxiao looked at the pained expression on Pingfei's face and threw herself onto Pingfei's shoulder as she cried.

Pingfei shook her head and carefully pulled Xiaoxiao out of her embrace. "How did you get these wounds?" she asked in concern. Why is this happening? "

Little Jun sniffed and recounted everything that had happened today to Madam Ping in detail. The more he told the story, the more miserable he would be. After saying that, he crawled onto Madame Pingping's shoulder and ruthlessly cried for a while.

"Alright!" Don't cry, this is how the palace is. Even if you don't scheme against others, others will still try to scheme against you. The way to protect themselves is to stay as far away from them as possible. Especially women like the Empress and Imperial Consort Mi. Although they appear noble and generous on the surface, their hearts are narrow and filled with resentment. " Pingfei held her small hand tightly as she tried to pull her into the courtyard. However, before she could take two steps, Xiaoxiao's body fell to the ground.

He had no strength. He really didn't have any strength. As he looked at Madam Ping with slight discomfort, his vision became blurry. Clutching her head, she shook it vigorously. However, the more she swayed, the more she felt uncomfortable.

"You are under the influence of incense. Moreover, it was not an ordinary incense; it was a incense tree from the Heavenly Mountain. Not only will it make your entire body weak, even your throat will feel numb, making it impossible for you to shout out loud. " Pingfei explained the toxicity of the incense tree and took out a pill from her pocket, stuffing it into her mouth.

Fragrant Tree?

No matter how much she thought about it, she could not recall where she had seen any kind of incense before. He saw a few of them on the tree.

Hehe! It felt cool and refreshing in his mouth, and his throat felt extremely comfortable. The chill ran through her, and she felt her strength return.

"Look, the leaves are falling down from the sky." Pang Fei pointed at the fallen leaves on the ground.

"You said those leaves are poisonous?" She looked at the yard in disbelief and then shifted her gaze to Princess Pingping's face.

"This is a tree that she planted before she died. She said that these trees can help me survive when in danger." Pingfei looked at the tree with a sorrowful expression. She felt a pang in her heart.

"She?" Xiaoxiao knew who the 'her' was. Although she had never seen her before, every time his father mentioned her, he felt a sense of familiarity.

"Hm!" She was like a fairy descending to the mortal world. She was beautiful, kind, empathetic, and loved by all. The Emperor falls in love with her at first sight and would rather wait all the time to get her heart. " At the mention of her, a calm smile appeared on Pingfei's face again as she quietly spoke, "But, the heavens did not give the emperor a chance. The emperor's favor was met with jealousy from Imperial Concubine Mei and the empress. Not long after that, she died. One of the brightest rouge flowers ever bloomed has just vanished into thin air. "

Looking at Imperial Concubine Mei's eyes, he could see admiration, longing and even hope for a chance to make a move.

"She left with a bit of the scent of flowers. The rouge flowers in the backyard are her favorite. She planted the entire yard and took good care of it every day. " Pang Fei smiled faintly. It was as if she was talking about herself.

Sad woman, sad self, maybe something more sad will continue to happen. However, she hoped that the person she was waiting for would appear soon, because she knew that she didn't have much time left.

"Mother, does she like rouge flowers?" He leaned over and asked softly, thinking of the red birthmark that had become his terrible scar.

"I like it, all of her bedsheets are embroidered with bright rouge flowers, each stitch is embroidered by her personally, her embroidery is vivid and lifelike, and is not something that can be embroidered by ordinary people. The imperial concubines and palace maids often came to ask for pointers on embroidery, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't even compare to half of her. The rouge flower has many colors, and her favorite color is plum red. That red color is like hers, stunning yet also ordinary. When it blooms, the flower fragrance is indifferent, and when it wilts, it wipes away without a sound. " In the heart of the princess, she was beautiful and moving, the best person in the world. She was also the person who had the most good will towards her, and the only person who could dig out her heart from within the palace.

However, such an outstanding woman, her life was so short.

"Is it the kind of red that looks very comfortable, like the one you showed me last time?" Ye Zichen thought back to the rouge flowers that Pingfei brought her to see last time. Those rouge flowers were indeed prettier than the ones he grew in his courtyard.

Strange?

Could it be because the soil was different? That was why the rouge flowers here were so bright?

Uh!

Plum red?

That... Isn't that the same color as the one on my body?

Blinking her eyes, she quietly looked at Pingfei. She really wanted to open her mouth and reveal the secrets in her heart. Then, as the words reached his mouth, he suddenly thought of something and asked with a nervous expression, "It's raining so heavily, will the rouge flower in the backyard do it?"

Pang Fei smiled slightly but didn't say anything. She pulled Little Treasure along and ran towards the yard.

The courtyard was still the most beautiful place in the rouge hall. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw that the whole garden was filled with rouge flowers that were competing to bloom. Pink, red, red, and white. There were many, many, many, many things that dazzled the eyes. Some people even forgot that this was the legendary and terrifying rouge palace.

"Strange! It was raining so heavily just now, but all these rouge flowers were fine. Everyone in my courtyard is lying down. " She took a quick look at the rouge flower and saw that there was no shelter against the wind and rain. She looked curiously at Pingfei. However, after she finished speaking, she remembered that sinister power.

"Actually, I don't know either. After she left, the flowers in the courtyard blossomed more and more year by year. Whether it is dry or heavy rain, they grow very strong, and their fingers are full of flowers all year round. Actually, there weren't that many courtyards here. Every year, it would be filled to the brim. Perhaps she had been watching from above. "Look at me, look at …" She looked like she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

Perhaps, being able to encounter such a small thing was a kind of fate, a kind of fate that came from nowhere.

"Mother, this little one doesn't know what secrets you have hidden in your heart to make you so stubborn." However, he could feel that his mother would definitely not harm him. Therefore, little Xiaoxiao will also not harm Mother. " Xiaoxiao held Princess Pingping's hand and sincerely looked at her as she spoke with great sadness.

Pang Fei stroked her long hair as she looked at the girl's face with a serious expression. There were too few good women like her in this world. This little girl really felt like she was, even her body was similar in appearance.

Could it really be her?

The same question ran through her mind again, and she wanted to ask it.

"Mother, I have a request, can you agree to it?" She blinked a little and looked at the rouge flowers that filled the garden. She was very fond of them.

"Speak!" Mother will definitely agree to anything that she can do. " Pingfei patted the back of her hand.

"Xiaoxiao wants some red rouge flowers to be planted back in. I also really like this color. No matter what, the rouge flowers in my courtyard are a bit listless." Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, thinking about the flowers that were beaten to death by the heavy rain today, and her heart ached.

"You like it too!"

Pingfei repeated herself in surprise, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Hm!" This flower is the same color as the birthmark on my body. Xiao Budian tilted his head and reached out his hand to pluck a red rouge flower to play with in his hand.
