After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 167 Charcoal Fire
The warm spring water disturbed Ruan Yuyi's mind, her body became weak, and only by hooking his neck, she managed to prevent herself from slipping into the water again.

She knew she couldn't stay longer.

With the strength of the water, she got away from him, grabbed the edge of the pool, intending to get out of the water.

But Jiang Huaiyang didn't give her this chance, pulled him back, clasped her waist, lowered his head and covered her lips.He took her to the bottom of the pool.

The sound of her whimpering was swallowed by the warm pool water.She exhaled a few bubbles before holding her breath, and it didn't take long for the suffocation to engulf her.

She clasped his shoulders in fear and struggled, but was firmly held in his arms.

He seems to be particularly willing to experience the pleasure of being on the verge of extinction, and wants her to sink with him.He pried open her lips and breathed out, making her feel better.

The pool was not very deep, and it soon reached the bottom of the pool.

The two men's black hair is intertwined, and they don't know each other.She was distracted, thinking that she was going to merge into the pool of water, and the scorching water poured into her body.

Almost reaching a critical point, he took her up just now.

She lay on his shoulder, coughing violently, the air penetrated into her nostrils, and every blow felt like pulling a meridian.He supported her body with one hand, and patted her back lightly with the other hand to comfort her.

His voice came from beside her ear, "Is this still the case?"

She had no time to distinguish the meaning of his words, hearing the words, she couldn't help shaking her head.

He chuckled, and said in a warm voice, "Suicide will be very painful, Lingling can't bear it. If you stay by my side, don't think about anything else." His voice was cold, like a poisonous snake uttering a letter.

Seeing her recovering a bit, he just grabbed her slender wrist.

Mu Xiang stood outside the bamboo forest, turning a deaf ear to the movement inside.I don't know how long it took before he was called in to wait on him.

At that time, the little lady had fallen asleep in Xindi's arms, her brows were still frowning in her sleep, her face was flushed, her lips were slightly parted, and she exhaled hot air.Jiang Huaiyang took the cloak from Mu Xiang and covered her.

He noticed that she looked sick, and said in a deep voice, "Go and call Doctor Ning." After saying that, he led her to his yard.

Mu Xiang was also worried about her young lady, who dared to delay, so she agreed and hurriedly turned around.

He put the little lady on the couch.

The guards who came from the palace had something to report, they had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the new emperor came back, they stepped forward and said something in a low voice with a serious expression on their faces.

He pulled his hand away from her waist, and picked off the curtain on the chiseled copper hook.The curtain fell behind him, obscuring the scene within.He is tall and tall, standing with his hands behind his back, "Send your car back to the palace, Ruan Jieyu and others don't have to accompany you."

The guards bowed their heads and said yes, and went to prepare chariots and horses.

When Ruan Yuyi woke up leisurely, only Muxiang was left in the room.

"Miss, you're awake." Mu Xiang opened the curtain, "Doctor Ning is waiting outside, do you want him to come in right now?"

Her throat was itchy, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times, took a breath, and said softly, "Call Doctor Ning to come in."

Ning He walked in with the consultation box and saluted the fallen bed curtain with a respectful expression.

Since entering Beijing, she has been sick more often than when she was at Wuzhou's home. These days, the people in Luomeixuan and Ning imperial physician are considered to be acquainted.

Ning He knew her condition well, he checked the pulse through the gauze scarf, and said calmly, "Young Master, you still need to cultivate well, otherwise you will fall to the root of the disease."

She coughed twice, her voice was weak, "I remember."

It is not an option to repeat this disease.Doctor Ning rarely prescribes a heavier dose of medicine, so that she can recover quickly and avoid suffering day by day.

Ruan Yuyi felt really uncomfortable after sending away Doctor Ning, and when it was already dark, she stained the pillow, fell into a drowsy sleep again.

Mu Xiang waited for her to fall asleep, reduced some charcoal, closed the doors and windows to block the cold wind outside, and then went outside to guard.

Tiredness welled up, she leaned against the couch in the main room and fell asleep hastily.

The room fell silent.About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the house was gently pushed open, and the moon was as cold as water, and hoar frost scattered all over the ground.The thin shadow opened the soft curtain and entered the inner room.

The moon rose and the moon set, and the birds chirped, but when the sky was getting dark, Mu Xiang was awakened by the sound of slapping the door continuously, and the force seemed to slap the door through before giving up.

Mu Xiangfa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the young lady was still sleeping in the inner room.She was already sick and tired, if she was woken up, she would have even more headaches, but it would be better.

She staggered on her embroidered shoes, walked towards the door, unlocked it, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't you know it's lighter in the early morning, you wake up the little master, come and apologize?"

Her words suddenly stopped, and she frowned suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

It was the servant girl next to Concubine Shu who knocked on the door. At this moment, she was sobbing and her eyes were full of tears, her temple hair was disheveled, and her hand was still in the air as she kept knocking on the door.

"Your Majesty..." The palace maid was young, as if she was frightened, and couldn't understand, "Our Majesty..."

Mu Xiang sighed, turned around and fetched some tea for her, telling her not to worry and speak slowly.

The palace maid raised her head and drank the tea. She drank it in a hurry, and the tea that flowed out slipped to her chin. "Our empress was taken away by the guards in the palace yesterday, begging Ruan Jieyu to save our empress!" she wailed.

She plopped down on her knees and bent over.Yesterday, news came from the palace that [-] stones of pepper were found in the Rong family's private possession. Pepper is a common thing, so it's not surprising, but the problem lies in the quantity.

Pepper, because of its fragrance and cold-proof properties, is often mixed with mud and painted on the walls of the imperial city.Ordinary officials and ordinary people are not allowed to do this.

As soon as the [-] shi of pepper was found, the ambition of the Rong family was clearly revealed.In order to deal with this matter, His Majesty hurriedly left for the palace, but Concubine Shu, the daughter of the Rong family, was naturally recalled to the palace and confined to the Chonghua Palace.

When the incident happened suddenly, Concubine Shu was also panicked. In desperation, she left the little palace maid beside her and asked her to send a message to Ruan Yuyi, the only friend she had a good relationship with.

After hearing this, Mu Xiang's expression froze, knowing that this matter cannot be delayed, she brought the maidservant into the house, while she turned back and went to the inner room.

She put her hand on the door and pushed it open.

A choking smell came over her face, and she couldn't help taking a few steps back.Suddenly remembering something, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly walked inside, calling Ruan Yuyi loudly, while suddenly opening the door and window wide.

The pot of charcoal fire on the ground was still sizzling, and billowing white smoke billowed from the crimson red.

Hearing Mu Xiang's urgent voice, the maidservant knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly moved the charcoal fire to the courtyard.

The cold wind howled in, and the smell inside quickly dissipated.

Ruan Yuyi huddled in the soft brocade and satin mattress, closed her eyes, as if she was still asleep, not knowing what happened around her, and not knowing that her maid was about to cry out in anxiety.
