The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

Chapter 13

The breeze was getting colder, Xu Nuan turned sideways to avoid Yin Ruoyue's gaze, and asked calmly:

"With such a meticulous arrangement, why did you deliberately go in and out of the brothel, causing everyone to talk about your preference for female sex, and ruining your reputation?"

Yin Ruoyue stood aside with her hands behind her back and said softly: "Above the court, it is always easy to attract criticism. The new emperor is afraid that Yin's family is powerful, and his father is impeccable as a prime minister. But I am different. After all, the power that a first-rank female official holds It's still limited, I have to hide my edge, otherwise I will be used by the new emperor to check and balance my father."

"Women go in and out of the brothel openly, such an absurd act, rumors spread everywhere, and I prefer women's sex... I haven't lied to the princess."

No wonder the rumors outside the palace spread so quickly inside the palace, this is just the confusion spread by Yin Ruoyue.

Xu Nuan looked at the boats moving slowly on the lake, in twos and threes, they looked extraordinarily small against the backdrop of the green peaks.

Yin Ruoyue, whose eyes were flooded by revenge, naturally couldn't feel such a comfortable and leisurely scene.

Having solved all the confusion in his heart, Xu Nuan turned sideways and asked, "What if I insist on marrying Zhou Xia?"

Yin Ruoyue's expression didn't change much, but her brows touched slightly in response:

"The imperial court is getting weaker and weaker. Zhou Xia and his son, who hold a heavy army, will wait for the opportunity sooner or later. Does the princess think that she can fight against the Yin family?"

Xu Nuan shook her head, thinking that as long as she could protect the young children in the royal family, that would be good.

It's just that these are of no importance to Yin Ruoyue who is bent on revenge.

"Then why don't you get rid of me as well?" Xu Nuan asked puzzled.

Yin Ruoyue avoided Xu Nuan's probing gaze and said calmly: "The princess treats me very well."

Hearing this answer, Xu Nuan didn't know how to react. She gently touched the pouch she was wearing with her fingertips, as if she could still touch the cornel inside, Xu Nuan said in a calm tone: "Yue'er wants revenge, I can understand."

"It's just that I'm afraid that in the future we will disagree and not seek each other."

After finishing speaking, Xu Nuan carefully tore off the pouch worn around his waist, and held Yin Ruoyue's drooping hand in his palm.

When the boat arrived at the pier, Xu Nuan did not go back to the capital with Yin Ruoyue, but left alone.

After spending more than half a month in peace, in the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, even though it was only late autumn, there were already several charcoal basins placed in Yuzhao Palace for heating.

Xu Nuan flipped through the list of unmarried sons in the capital, feeling a little headache.

Recalling Yin Ruoyue's words that time, if Zhou Xia's father, Zhou Yuan, had a heart of rebellion, then marrying into the Zhou family was no less than entering a wolf's den.

Instead of protecting the young children in the royal family, Zhou Xia even made the little princess Xu Yan and the prince hostage.

"Princess, Lord Song is asking to see you." The palace official outside the door announced.

Xu Nuan sat up a little and responded, "Let him in."

This Song Yu has been a businessman for generations and has a shrewd mind. He has been an official for only two years, and his official position has been promoted to the third rank.

Although the character is not good, Xu Nuan really didn't find a more suitable candidate at the moment, so he raised his hand and propped his chin and said, "I wonder if Mr. Song is married?"

Song Yu's face suddenly became very strange, and he slowly put down his teacup, frowning tightly and hurriedly evaded, "Princess, I think General Zhou Xia has a close relationship, why do you suddenly look at Weichen?"

"What? Are you despising me?" Xu Nuan raised his teacup and questioned.

"This... I don't dare." Song Yu was very embarrassed, and seemed to respond hesitantly: "I heard that General Zhou Xia is the only son of Old General Zhou. How can I dare to win my heart because of my weak power?"

"Besides, the princess is very close to Lady Yin. The power behind these two people is so powerful that I really dare not."

Song Yu's words are watertight, he is really a cunning fox.

Hearing this answer, Xu Nuan was not in a hurry, and asked, "But now that I have reached the marriageable age, I have to consider suitable candidates. I wonder if there is any good strategy?"

"I heard that Liao Yi, an aristocrat from a noble family, is a talented man, and he is an upstart in the court. How about... him?"

Xu Nuan turned her head to look at Song Yu, only to see that his eyes dodged, and he pursed his lips and said, "Liao Yi, Yin Ruoyue also recommended to this palace, Song Yu, you turned your back too quickly."

"Princess, please forgive me." Song Yu knelt aside and responded, "The humble minister is just a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero. The prime minister intends to promote him, so why should the princess be so stubborn."

"You... get out quickly for Bengong!" After finishing speaking, Xu Nuan threw the teacup beside him, and Song Yu ran extremely fast.

The palace guards outside the palace were also frightened by the posture of Xu Nuan who never loses his temper.

Sitting alone in the palace, Xu Nuan felt even more disturbed.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Xu Yan, who hadn't been here for a long time, stepped in.

"Sister Nuan" Xu Nuan didn't recover until her sleeve was pulled by her. She lowered her head to see Xu Yan, stretched out her hands and pinched her little face and said softly, "Xiao Yaner, why did you come to see Sister Nuan today?"

"The Queen Mother has no sugar to eat." Xu Yan blinked her eyes and said seriously.

Thinking of such a young child without a mother, Xu Nuan couldn't help but blushed, wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and responded softly:

"Okay, Sister Nuan, let someone send candies to Xiao Yan'er."

Sitting aside with her in his arms, he stretched out his hand and handed her a small box of candy to eat.

At dusk, someone from the Empress Dowager's Palace came to pick up Xu Yan, and Aunt Li in the palace smiled and asked: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress have been worried about Princess Yulu's marriage. I think there should be happy events in the near future."

These words undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Xu Nuan, and the emperor couldn't wait any longer.

The wind became stronger at night, and Xu Nuan lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking that if it was the emperor, it must be more likely that Zhou Xia would be arranged.

At present, the Zhou family is really the only one that can be compared with the Yin family in the court. The emperor needs the Zhou family to check and balance the power of the Yin family.

But ever since Xu Nuan heard Yin Ruoyue mention Zhou Yuan's ambitions, she also remembered that there was a chapter in the book that mentioned how the heroine cleverly dealt with Zhou Yuan's clan. .

At this point, it is really difficult to advance and difficult to retreat.

Unexpectedly, at this special time, Xu Nuan suddenly fell ill.

A strange disease suddenly spread in the palace, spreading from Yuzhao Palace, and the whole palace was panicked.

Xu Nuan, who had a high fever, suddenly developed a red rash all over his body, but within three days the rash spread to the back of his neck and hands, and even his cheeks.

At the beginning, there were people from the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis and treatment, but Yuzhao Palace seemed deserted for half a month, and no one dared to approach it.

Xu Nuan, who was getting weaker and weaker, couldn't drink anything else except soup and medicine every day, because he was worried that he was an infectious disease, and he didn't let the maids serve him personally, so he kept himself bored in the palace all day.

When it was cold, it was already November, Xu Nuan sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, rolled up his sleeves, and saw the red and swollen rash on his arm, which even hurt a little when he pressed it lightly.

Originally, he wanted to procrastinate by taking advantage of his illness, so Xu Nuan didn't take the medicine on time, because he didn't want the disease to be violent, but within half a month, Xu Nuan lost a lot of weight.

Xu Nuan lay helplessly under the quilt, feeling as if he had only one breath left, half-dead is really fatal.

After lying down for a long time, I vaguely heard the palace door being pushed open, and Xu Nuan couldn't see clearly through the light blue gauze, nor did I have the strength to look.

I only heard the sound of small things, and I could vaguely hear the palace people lowering their voices and discussing in a low voice:

"I heard that I vomited after eating half a bowl of porridge yesterday. I haven't seen the princess eat anything other than medicinal soup during these days."

"That's right, the princess has always been physically weak. She went out of the palace to play with Lady Yin some time ago. This time, I don't know where the evil wind is blowing. I'm afraid it's hard for her to be so seriously ill."

"Shhh! Be quiet."

When the palace people retreated, Xu Nuan turned over, feeling the pain in his body, and didn't want to move.

Trying hard to recall how the character Xu Nuan died in the book.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Xu Nuan didn't expect it, as if there were only a few words mentioned in the book.

Seeing that the New Year's Eve is only a month away, is it possible that he is going to wait to die in this palace?

The wind outside the window was blowing and creaking. I don't know that the palace man was negligent and forgot to close the window.

Sleeping in a daze until midnight, I suddenly heard the sound of rain, which was very noisy.

Xu Nuan slowly opened her eyes, only to see a person standing outside Shawei, holding a long sword, what a scary scene.

Holding the quilt in her palm, Xu Nuan thought she was having a nightmare and stared blankly.

The wind that came in through the window blew the Shawei, and Xu Nuan vaguely saw the figure of that person, who seemed to be a woman.

If such a scene is said to be a visit from a female ghost, Xu Nuan probably won't question it.

After all, he can encounter such a thing as wearing a book, so it shouldn't be surprising that something even more absurd.

Just when Xu Nuan had all sorts of weird thoughts popping up in his head, the woman suddenly turned her head, and it turned out that she had exactly the same appearance as Yin Ruoyue.

The sword she held in her palm seemed to be dripping dark blood, Shawei shook, and Xu Nuan clearly saw that the one who fell to the ground on the other end was actually a maid in her palace.

Could it be that Yin Ruoyue suddenly regretted it?

Seeing her getting closer, Xu Nuan couldn't move and had to close his eyes, pretending it was a nightmare.

But after a while, when Xu Nuan opened his eyes again, Yin Ruoyue had already lifted the gauze and sat aside.

"You... are you here to kill me?" Xu Nuan didn't even know that her voice was so hoarse that she could barely utter a complete sentence.

Yin Ruoyue stretched out her hand to hold Xu Nuan's hand, carefully touched the red rash with her fingertips and responded, "The princess is so weak now, I don't need to do it at all."

Seeing her hair hanging on one side seemed to be wet by rain, Xu Nuan worriedly looked at her shadow on one side, and then confirmed that she was really Yin Ruoyue, not a ghost.

"Then what are you doing here?" Xu Nuan asked in confusion.

Yin Ruoyue took out a small bottle of ointment from her sleeve and wiped it for Xu Nuan, ignoring the maid lying on the side.

There was a thunderstorm outside the window, Xu Nuan obviously felt very cold, but Yin Ruoyue's hands were even colder.

Seeing that Yin Ruoyue was so focused, Xu Nuan didn't want to disturb her, but when Yin Ruoyue reached out to touch the bedding, Xu Nuan said in surprise:

"You... what are you doing!"

"These rashes will be broken at a certain time, and pus will flow out. At that time, not only will the whole body be extremely itchy, but it will also cause the whole body to fester."

Before Xu Nuan could respond, Yin Ruoyue naturally stretched out her hand to lift off the quilt, looked at Xu Nuan and said, "You also need to apply medicine on your body, so you must take off your clothes."

Hey?

Wait a moment!Yin Ruoyue, don't untie my belt!
