When I looked up, I saw a thin woman standing at the door.

It's a pearl.

When I first saw her, I was stunned for a moment and felt a little surprised.

I was not directly involved in Shen Rou's matter from beginning to end. After I fainted in the queen's room that day, when I woke up, I only knew that Shen Rou had been abolished, and I heard that her previous evil deeds had also been punished by her.

The concubines who were persecuted were exposed one by one, which had the effect of knocking everyone down.

Her being deposed is really nothing in the face of the whole downfall of the Shen family, but there is one thing that Pei Yuanhao cannot help but think about.

That stupid kid——Second Prince Pei Nianyun.

If it were a normal child, it would not be a problem to leave it to any concubine in the harem to educate him, but this child has no future, and no concubine is willing to spend time raising a child who will not bring any benefits to herself.

Chang Qing is bound to be the master of the harem, but she already has Nian Shen, and it would be a bit difficult to educate Nian Yun.

Therefore, the best candidate is the one who is rewarded by the emperor and promoted to the position of Selected Attendant by "exposing the evil deeds of the imperial concubine".

Perhaps, Mingzhu's promotion was originally intended for this candidate.

But no matter what, her current status has changed from a palace maid, or even a palace maid who may have suffered misfortune because her master was deposed, to a master, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

These days, I stay at home and have little contact with her. Why did she come to see me again?

Thinking of this, I frowned slightly.

She was still standing at the door, looking at me with a cautious look, and she didn't even dare to step into my door easily. I felt something was wrong, so I walked over slowly: "What's the point of choosing a waiter?"
p>

Mingzhu smiled, and the smile was somewhat flattering: "I heard that Mr. Yue is unwell, so I came to visit Mr. Yue."

"It's no big deal to be dismissed. Thank you for choosing me."

"Master Yue, don't say that."

She waved her hands hurriedly, as if she had a secretive feeling about my identity. I didn't bother to think about it or defend myself, so I just smiled and said: "Then, is there anything else to do with choosing an escort?"

She groaned for a while, looked up at me, and whispered: "Master Yue, can you come to my place and sit for a while?"

"..."

I looked at her with some surprise.

Go sit with her for a while? What does this mean?

I can't say what I like or dislike about her. What role did she play in Shen Rou's previous actions? The matter has passed, and I don't bother to pursue it. I just see that she doesn't want to talk about it now, but she seems to have it.

There are many unspeakable secrets that can only be confided to me, which makes me have to think more.

Shen Rou has fallen, what else is she in trouble for?

Moreover, she is also an escort now, so she does not have to do some things herself, but she actually came to me like this, I am afraid it is not an ordinary thing.

I thought about it and said, "That's too much trouble."

When she heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "Where is it?"

I looked back at Nanny Wu, but she didn’t say much. She just looked at me and nodded, and I said softly: "Eunuch Jade will send someone to deliver the sign later, and Nanny will take it for me."
p>

"Yes, sir, come back early."

"Yeah."

After saying that, I turned around and followed Mingzhu away.

Her status was that of a chosen servant, and she was not yet qualified to have her own house. However, because of her role in educating the prince, Eunuch Yu gave her another residence, which was a very remote courtyard on the West Sixth Palace.

, although it is remote, it is perfect for her identity and current situation.

As soon as you enter the gate, you see a very clean yard, the ground is clean, and there are several clusters of flowers under the corridor. Compared with the rich fragrance of flowers in the imperial garden, the light fragrance here makes people feel very comfortable.

Comfortable.

Her room was not big, and it was neatly tidied, with all the necessary utensils. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the exquisite cradle beside the bed, and a little palace maid next to her gently shook it with her hands when she saw us coming in.

, stood up quickly to say hello.

Mingzhu said: "You go out."

Although the palace maid was young, she seemed to be a little thoughtful. She was going to pour us tea. When she heard this, she nodded and walked out, closing the door. I didn't ask any questions and went straight to the cradle.

.

The child inside is looking at me with wide black eyes.

All in all, he was almost a year old, and he still looked fleshy, but his expression was a little dull. His eyes were just black, so black that nothing could be reflected in him, and he looked at people blankly, which was nothing.

Reaction.

I looked at him and felt something indescribable in my heart.

I hated his mother, and I once wanted to eat her alive. I actually tried to harm her and repay her for all the suffering I had suffered in the past. But no amount of hatred can spread to anyone.

No, he doesn’t understand anything, even in a stupid child. Now, just looking at his dull look, and thinking that he has not yet started, but has already destined for a life without a future, the sadness welling up in my heart makes me feel sad.

I feel a little depressed.

After sighing, I said softly: "How is your highness?"

"Not bad."

"Are you feeling sick?"

"No..."

Before she finished speaking, I couldn't help but lean down and carefully pick up the child from the cradle.

He was only one year old, but he was already very heavy. This child was very fleshy, and I didn’t have much strength at first, so it was a bit difficult to hold him. I carefully dragged his little buttocks and held him softly with one hand.

With a slumped back, the child buried his head in my arms and rubbed his face. Suddenly he seemed to feel something. He raised his face and stared at me with his dark eyes without blinking, as if he wanted to recognize something.

Same.

His little mouth was curled up, and a glistening stream of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

I couldn't help but sigh, and reached out to wipe him with a handkerchief, but at this moment, I saw that his auricle was slightly red and swollen.

I frowned, carefully held his head and turned around to take a look, only to see that there was a nearly swollen injury behind his ear, as if it was a bruise left by someone twisting it hard.<

/p>

I hurriedly raised my head and asked Mingzhu: "What's going on? How come the second prince has——"

Before I finished speaking, I saw Mingzhu’s eyes wide open and looking at me in panic.

"..." I suddenly understood.

Is this why she invited me here?

I looked down at the child again. I touched his ear and he immediately curled up in discomfort, but he didn't cry. He just turned his head again in my hand, and his dark eyes were still looking at me.

Me.

It’s as if they recognized me.

I was speechless for a moment, looking at those dark but clean eyes, so clean that there was no trace of impurities, they just looked at me, without praying, without complaining, without even any grievance, just looking at me.<

/p>

It hurts people's hearts.

When the child and I looked at each other, Mingzhu had already walked to the door, opened the door and stuck her head out. She carefully looked outside to make sure that no one was around the yard, then she closed the door tightly, and then slowly

Came over.

As soon as she walked in front of me, she suddenly plopped down and knelt down.

I held the child in my arms, unprepared for the moment, but it seemed that it was not unexpected. I just frowned more tightly and whispered: "What are you doing?"

"Master Yue, Master Yue..."

Mingzhu stammered. Before she could speak, her eyes were already red: "I, I can only beg you."

"..." I held the child and felt his uncomfortable squirming, so I carefully walked to the bed and sat down, letting the child lie in my arms. No matter how I moved or played with him, his eyes were still like nails.

It's the same on my face, looking at me without relaxing at all.

I said to Mingzhu: "Get up and talk."

Mingzhu did not stand up, she was still kneeling, her voice and body were trembling: "Master Yue, I know that it was Concubine Shen in the past - she was sorry for you, she did many evil things, hurt you like that, really

Yes—the crime deserves death!"

"Don't mention the past anymore." I interrupted her lightly.

"Yes, yes." Mingzhu raised her head again and looked at me holding the child. She bit her lower lip very gently and said, "But I know you are a good person with clear grievances. Xu Cairen misunderstood you like that back then.

, you are still helping her secretly, and you are still so close and kind to the eldest prince. You will not blame the child just because of the adult's fault."
