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

200 Burial
As the days passed, and it was approaching the end of the year, a lot of festive candles and lanterns were added to the palace, and various curtains and silk satins were hung. The palace servants who came and went were even busier, let alone Ruan Yuyi who was in charge of the sixth palace.

Although she was busy, she rarely saw the new emperor come to look for her. She felt quite at ease, but Jiang Huaiyang deliberately left her alone. Seeing that the little lady didn't realize it at all, she felt even more angry.

Wen Zhi stood on one side, kept looking at him, and said after deliberating, "Your Majesty, are you going to Chang'an Palace today?"

The pen in his hand froze, and he said coldly, "No." Then he buried his head in the scroll again.

He wanted to see when she would come looking for him.

The Chang'an Palace didn't know about this, the warm day was noisy, and Ruan Yuyi was sitting in the courtyard, napping.

There was a palace attendant bringing a pair of Yu Jue, she glanced and recognized that the palace attendant was with the new emperor, so she asked, "Your Majesty is busy recently?" It seemed that she hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Yes," the palace servant lowered his head even more, "Your Majesty saw this Yu Guangrun, and entrusted his servants to bring it to the empress." She swallowed, not daring to let the people in front of her realize that it was Wen Zhiyi, the new emperor. sent in the name of.

She took the jade, twirled it in her hands for a while, and rewarded it as usual.

In fact, she didn't lack these things, she tried putting the pair of jades into the net, and it was just right, "What do you think about sending this to the wood spirit?" She asked Mu Xiang casually.

When Fang asked, he remembered that the things bestowed by the emperor should not be given to others at will, because he did not speak anymore.

Mu Xiang froze when she heard the words, she still smiled and said, "This pair of jades is not as round as the whole jade, but the one I got earlier is more suitable."

She nodded slightly, deeply convinced.She made the net to set up the jade, but when she saw the jade suddenly, she thought of going to the other side.

She told Mu Xiang to fetch the jade.When the jade was presented in front of her, the net in her hand had just been laid.

She put the jade into the net, and the round and carved jade supported the net, as if it was embracing the moon, shiny and free of fluff.Not to mention Mu Xiang, since Mu Ling left the palace, most of the time she would still marry someone.

It's not interesting to send the dowry together, if you don't send some every time and ask her to save it, when she has a sweetheart, she can save almost as much as she wants.

Thinking about it, a smile floated in her eyes, "Send the Spring Festival couplet written yesterday and this jade to the wood spirit."

Mu Xiang's nose was sore when she heard that, she took the jade with both hands, and said, "Yes." The person Miss was thinking of, but she didn't want to be gone, and the things she sent didn't really make Mu Ling take a look.

She was afraid that Miss would continue to think so.

Right now, it's easy to say, how to hide it when we get to the back.These lies are getting bigger and bigger, and I am afraid that the paper will not be able to contain the fire in the end.

"Is she in good health recently?" Ruan Yuyi suddenly thought of something, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "She has no relatives around her, so she won't miss us to the point of tears?"

As she said that, the image of the wood spirit with tears in her eyes and sniffing her nose appeared in her mind, so pitiful.

Mu Xiang felt as if her heart was pinched with both hands, and she crushed it vigorously. Blood and water mixed with the flesh rushed up, filling her throat, making her speechless.

She opened her mouth, and it took a long time to find her voice.

She told Ruan Yuyi in a trembling voice, "The wood spirit has already gone."

"Where are you going?" The smile on her face froze, and she didn't wait for Mu Xiang's answer for a long time.

The delicately woven net rolled to the ground and was covered with dust.Her neck seemed to be frozen, she turned her head a little bit, and could almost hear the movement of her joints twisting.

Her heart was stuffy, as if she couldn't breathe.She pursed her lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice was unexpectedly calm, "When did it happen?"

Mu Xiang answered truthfully, "It's the middle of the month."

But now it's the end of the month.They kept it from her for so long, did she never deliver the things she sent to me to eat?She clenched her knuckles white.

"Wood Spirit...how did something happen?" She heard herself say this.

After getting the answer of "suicide", she finally couldn't stand it any longer, and lay down on the cold stone table, burying her head in her arms.A sky full of remorse engulfed her, forcing her to shed tears continuously, which wet a small piece of her sleeve.

She should have thought of this earlier, even if people take care of one or two, it doesn't matter, people who want to die, never lack methods.

She regretted letting the wood spirit out of the palace.

Chinese New Year is approaching, and the whole palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons. Except for a few of them, no one will notice that a little girl will stay forever in the cold winter.

They haven't watched the age together yet.

This year's snow did not have time to enjoy it.

The promises and jokes before, at this moment, all of them don't count.

She couldn't cry, her face was hot, her mind was dizzy again, and everything around her ears lost her voice.She felt that the news suddenly seemed unreal.

After an unknown period of time, she was finally willing to raise her head.

She turned her face away, turned her back to Mu Xiang, and first wiped away the tears on her face.At this moment, Mu Xiang's voice gradually became clear, "Miss—"

"Did the wood spirit take everything with it when it left?"

Mu Xiang replied, "I didn't take anything away, I returned it to her and put it in the house."

She followed Mu Xiang to the servant's room, and in a small wooden box, she kept all the jewelry she gave to the wood spirit, as well as some embroidered silk cloth.She recognized that the three of them embroidered together in their free time.

There is also a small letter inside.

She hesitated for a while, but took it apart.

Letter:

The maidservant was young and lonely, his mother remarried, and he and his grandmother depended on each other for companionship.I am lucky to know you, the first day I saw you, I felt like the brilliance of the rising sun, so brilliant that I dare not look at it for a long time...

... I hope to forgive my cowardice and not to accompany you.

After reading, Ruan Yuyi pursed her lips tightly, as if something salty had seeped into her lips, she took a deep breath, folded the letter according to the original creases, and put it away in her sleeves.

Holding the wooden box, she walked slowly into the courtyard.There were several plum trees in the courtyard, which were scorching and blooming, she chose one, squatted down, and the gold-woven palace dress dragged the ground unconsciously.

She casually took off a hairpin from her hair.The hairpin was carved with butterflies and embedded with beads, and its writing was brilliant. She inserted it into the soil without pity, and bit by bit the soil under the tree was pushed away.

The color of the new mud was darker, which always gave her the illusion that she would dig up dead bones under the tree.

"Miss—" Mu Xiang wanted to stop her, but in the end she couldn't stop her, so she went to find a flower shovel.

After an unknown period of time, a shallow hole was dug under the tree. Ruan Yuyi carefully put the wooden box in and covered it with a layer of soil.The opening of the box faces southwest, and the wood spirit once told her that her hometown is over there.

Now, the wood spirit can completely break away from this man-eating deep palace, and she can go home.

After doing all this well, Ruan Yuyi felt a little real in her heart.

It is true that she will never see the wood spirit again.

She got up, moved her numb legs, and planned to go back to the bedroom.Unexpectedly, after they left, another person dug up this place, put other things in the wooden box, and then restored everything to its original appearance.
