Chapter 5： | 【05】

The persimmons in the bamboo basket are heavy, big and red. In previous years, they couldn't get so many persimmons, but occasionally picked one or two to relieve their greed. There were many rules in the palace, especially in Xiao Lan's situation. You must be careful about everything, and you must not leave words because of eating.

But today this persimmon was rewarded by the four princes. There are dozens of them. Not only can they be eaten with their belly open, the persimmon skins can be dried in a cold dressing, and the ones that can’t be eaten can be marinated to make persimmons. Up.

Qing Yan didn't feel that her princess was wrong today, but instead felt that the little princess was so cute and she would really like it if she was a normal person!

On the way back, after passing through a row of orange groves, Lin Feilu looked at it twice, and didn't know what he thought of, then stopped and said to Qingyan, "I want to pick some oranges."

Qingyan said: "The autumn oranges grown here are for viewing purposes. The fruits are not edible and very sour."

Lin Feilu didn't listen to her: "I want two."

Qingyan didn't persuade him any more, and went with her to pick a few small oranges, which was sour at first glance. Lin Feilu wrapped the oranges and put them in his cuffs before returning to Mingyue Palace.

Xiao Lan and Yun You were still doing needlework in the yard. When they saw the basket of persimmons raised by Qing Yan, their expressions changed, and they were about to blame her. Qing Yan had already told her about the talent with joy.

After hearing that, Xiao Lan was a little surprised. She glanced at Lin Feilu, who was squatting in the yard and digging out ant nests with Lin Zhanyuan. She didn't think much about it. She thought it was probably because the four princes were in a good mood today that they rewarded them and ordered Qingyan to go Peel the persimmons to the two children.

Lin Feilu sat on the threshold with sweet and glutinous persimmons, bit by bit, looking at the closed door of the main hall opposite.

I heard Yun You chat with Xiao Lan just now, and the other side has not opened the door until now. Lin Feilu is very satisfied with the other side's reaction. She just said that someone on the tree was scared like this, so the direction of her plan this time was right.

It was only in the afternoon that the door of the main hall slowly opened a crack, and the setting sun poured over the courtyard and the bare pomegranate tree. Xu Cairen was supported by the red sleeves, first glanced at the pomegranate tree a little evasively, and then walked out without squinting, in a hurry.

Lin Feilu sat on the threshold and stared at her. Xu Cairen glanced in her direction, feeling that the little girl's head was looking at herself, as if she was looking at something else, very evil.

She didn't come back until the evening. At that time, Lin Feilu had finished dinner and played a shadow-stepping game with Lin Zhanyuan in the yard.

As soon as Xu Cairen came in, the two laughing children stopped. In Lin Zhanyuan's eyes, it was a bad person. The mother concubine said that to stay away from the bad person, she pulled her sister and ran back.

Lin Feilu didn't move, and just stood there with a dazed expression on her face, staring at her for a moment.

Xu Cairen was annoyed. He walked two steps quickly and wanted to teach her. When he approached, he realized that Lin Feilu didn't look at her, but behind her.

She turned her head back sharply, leaving nothing behind.

When I looked back, I saw Lin Feilu shrinking back with some fear, his big eyes still staring at the position behind her, revealing unabashed fear.

Xu Cairen suddenly felt cold on his back, and climbed into a layer of cold sweat, which made people horrified.

Hong Xiu also found out, and said boldly: "Five princesses, what are you looking at?"

Lin Feilu didn't answer her this time, as if terrified, turned around and ran back to the side hall with Lin Zhanyuan's hand, without turning his head back, closing the door with a snap.

Xu Cai's feet were soft, and there was nothing behind her, but she didn't dare to look back anymore. She was supported by the red sleeves and walked back to the main hall. As soon as she entered the room, she collapsed on the bed.

Hong Xiu gritted his teeth to restrain the trembling voice: "Manny, that girl is very evil, don't care about her."

Xu Cairen's face was pale, and even when he entered the room, he still felt cold on his back, as if someone was blowing air on her neck and neck, with goose bumps one after another, and a cold sweat was frightened.

She feels that this is not the way to go, taking advantage of the high monks in Jingmen Palace before they leave, she must go and ask the high monks to see it tomorrow!

After dark, the daytime and the bright autumn sun suddenly changed. After the thunderstorms, heavy rain fell, crackling on the eaves leaves, making people annoying.

Xu Cairen was already terrified, and he couldn't fall asleep because of the thunder and lightning.

I don't know how long tossing and turning on the bed, she suddenly heard a knock on the door amidst the sound of rain. All of a sudden, without any rush, it rang intermittently in the rainy night.

At first, she was suspicious that she had misheard. After a while, the red sleeves came in with the lamp, and said to her: "Manny, there seems to be someone knocking outside."

It's so late and it's raining again. Could it be that the imperial concubine is in a hurry?

It wasn't like this had never happened before. Xu Cairen didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered Hongxiu to open the door. Another court lady, Luzhu, served her to get up and get dressed. Just halfway through her dressing, she suddenly heard a scream outside, which turned out to be the sound of red sleeves.

Xu Cairen's fingers stiffened, and he said to Luzhu, "Go and see!"

Lv Zhu ran out, and after a while she let out another scream.

The little **** who was watching the night also woke up. Xu Cairen's face was pale, and he resisted fear, and said to the little eunuch: "Let's go and see in the palace."

The two rushed all the way to the entrance of the main hall.

Hong Xiu fainted on the ground, Lu Zhu half-kneeled beside her, also looking silly. Xu Cairen looked at them and didn't pay attention to the outside, until the little **** next to them trembled and reminded: "Manny... look at the outside..."

Xu Cairen looked up.

A flash of lightning struck down the sky, illuminating the bare pomegranate tree at the entrance of the main hall.

On the branch, there was a hanging hemp rope, which was swayed by wind and rain, as if something invisible was swaying in the air.

Xu Cairen only felt a cardiac arrest and screamed: "Close the door! Close the door!"

The main hall door was slammed shut, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves came from inside.

I don't know how long it has been before the door of the Piandian opened silently. Lin Feilu carried a stool, walked under the pomegranate tree under the heavy rain if nothing had happened, stepped on the stool and took the hemp rope off, and then walked back as if nothing had happened.

The rain is still falling.

Qing Yan and Yun You are the same sisters with Xiao Lan, and they have been dependent on each other these years. Xiao Lan did not treat them as maids, nor did they let them watch the night like other palace ladies. Lin Feilu slept in a room by herself. The sound of rain covered her movement in and out. After returning to the room, she changed her clothes and went to bed as if nothing was wrong.

Early the next morning, the other side became lively.

For a while, I was a high-ranking monk, and for a while, I was an imperial doctor. The master had a fever and talked nonsense, and the people around him were all scared and sick in bed, and there was not even a waiter. On weekdays, Xu Cairen was very diligent. After hearing this, Guifei Ruan sent two people to help.

The main hall is sick, and the concubine of the partial hall can't ignore it. Xiao Lan also came to visit with Qingyan. Lin Feilu followed. Xu Cairen, who was half leaning on the bed drinking medicine, saw her, and her back began to chill again.

She was so frightened that she became haggard a lot overnight, and fell asleep after drinking the medicine.

There were people coming and going in the temple, and there were people who brought water and medicine. No one noticed that Lin Feilu sprinkled a bowl of sugar water on the ground in front of Xu Cairen's bed. Because Xu Cairen was cold, charcoal fire was burning in the house, and the temperature was very high. The sugar water dries after a short while, and there is no trace of it.

At noon, Concubine Ruan Gui sent someone to ask about Xu Cairen's condition.

The court lady next to Ruan Guifei opened the door and screamed as soon as she approached.

Everyone outside ran over.

The maid's face faded: "Bugs! Lots of bugs!"

Everyone saw that Xu Cairen's bed was full of ants and bugs, densely packed, and it made people see goose bumps all over the floor.

The onlookers were nervous and scared, and talked a lot.

"Xu Cairen really hit the evil, right?"

"Hasn't the monk already read the scriptures?"

"Some things are too grieving. Who knows what sin that person has committed? Let's leave soon after we're done. Let them solve the problems in their own palace."

Concubine Ruan’s court lady was so frightened that she immediately returned to Yunxi Palace after a quick glance and reported the matter to Concubine Ruan.

There are one queen and two noble concubines in the palace. As the daughter of the left minister, Guifei Ruan has a huge family power and has been in favor since entering the palace. She sent people to care about Xu Cairen not because she cared about her, but because the palace knew that Xu Cairen belonged to her. If something went wrong, she would not pay attention to her, for fear that other concubines would chill her heart and stop. Take refuge.

Now that the maid of the palace listened to such a return, she was shocked and she did not hide her disgust: "My palace is very good, and don't let her enter the Yunxi Palace of this palace from now on. It's bad luck."

Xu Cairen has fallen out of favor for many years and has not given birth. All these years in the palace rely on Concubine Ruan to stand. She is arrogant and cruel. In order to gain the trust of Concubine Ruan, she also had human lives on her hands. Now she has lost her asylum, and her future fate can be imagined.

Xu Cairen, who is still ill now, doesn't know all of this. She has a fever and nightmares. She woke up thirsty while half-dreaming, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw someone lying next to her bed.

Xu Cairen screamed in fright, but because his voice was too dry, he only screamed hoarsely.

Lin Feilu was by the bed.

There was no light in the house, only a few rays of light from the palace lantern on the eaves. She was on her knees and saw that she was awake. She slowly leaned over and lay down, leaning in her ear and whispering: "Cairen, she said she is waiting for you."

Xu Cairen's eyes widened in horror, and big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead.

Lin Feilu laughed, jumped off the bed, picked up the Huozhezi next to him, turned around and asked with concern: "Cairen Niangniang, are you afraid? If you are afraid, I will help you light the lamp."

Xu Cairen screamed dumbly: "Red sleeves! Red sleeves!"

Hong Xiu fainted last night. He was more ill than Xu Cairen, but when he heard Xu Cairen calling her, he walked over with force. Xu Cairen said weakly, "Get her out! Let her go!"

Red sleeves cheered up: "Five princesses, please."

Lin Feilu ran out one after another.

Xu Cairen remembered her words, sweating profusely, and said in fear: "Red sleeves, light up the lamp, light up!"

Hong Xiu Yiyan lit the lamp and the light filled the room. Xu Cairen's fear finally dissipated a little. Hong Xiu called in hot water to wipe her sweat, and went to give her a decoction. Xu Cairen half leaned on the bed to rest, and suddenly stopped when he glanced over the lamp.

On the clean and blank lampshade, words were slowly revealed.

She thought she was dazzled, closed her eyes, rubbed her eyes again, and looked intently, the brown writing that appeared out of thin air became clearer and clearer.

There are four words written distortedly on it: I am waiting for you.

Xu Cairen didn't even scream this time. He rolled his eyes and passed out completely. When Hong Xiu came back from the decoction, the main hall was turned around again. At this moment in the side hall, Lin Feilu had walked back to his room and took out a brush from the arm cage.

On the desk by the window, the sour oranges she picked yesterday were squeezed out of the juice and placed in a small bowl.

Lin Zhanyuan didn't know what came to her room, grabbed the orange and took two bites. The facial features were all deformed by acid, and he stuck his tongue out: "Sour! Pooh! Pooh!"

Lin Feilu touched his head: "This is not for eating."

Lin Zhanyuan is like a curious baby: "If you don't eat, what do you do?"

Lin Feilu took a piece of white paper, dipped the pale yellow orange juice in the bowl with a brush, and drew a smiling face on the paper. The white paper was soaked quickly, but there was nothing to see. Lin Zhanyuan watched eagerly. Lin Feilu took the white paper by the candlelight beside the bed and waved to him: "Come on, show you something fun. of."

Lin Zhanyuan ran over happily and watched as his sister brought the white paper close to the candlelight and slowly roasted it. A smiling face appeared on the blank paper.

He clapped his hands with joy: "Painting! There are pictures!"

Xiao Lan walked in with hot water and smiled and said, "Luer, don't bring your brother to play with fire."

Lin Feilu obediently responded, tore the white paper into pieces, and threw it along with the oranges.

After that day, Xu Cairen couldn't afford to be ill, and the maids and eunuchs in the main hall gradually improved, but her condition became more and more serious, sometimes even a little crazy. Without the protection of Concubine Ruan Gui, the previous revenge and grudges were worse than Xiao Lan.

The people in the palace said that she had been punished for committing too many sins, and even Concubine Ruan had some lingering fears, for fear that she would be implicated in her body, and secretly copied the Buddhist scriptures for a long time.

Without Xu Cai's demon, the days in the palace finally improved. At least I was able to get the full amount by himself, and Lin Feilu finally lived a life of meat every day. It's just that after this incident, the palace was a little taboo about Mingyue Palace, and the palaces that were already deserted and remote became less and less people coming.

Yun You was still a little worried about this. Everyone said that Mingyue Palace was not clean, and she was inevitably afraid. Xiao Lan didn't take it seriously, twisting the beads and said, "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and be at ease."

She prefers quietness, desirelessness, and desirelessness. Her only wish is to hope that the two children can grow up safely. In this situation, she is justified.

But just to follow her wishes, for Lin Feilu, this is just killing a mob and warming up.

She counted the time, and felt that the NPC, who had gained one third of her favorability, should be coming soon.

Sure enough, within a few days, she was kicking a shuttlecock with Lin Zhanyuan in the yard. In a quiet afternoon, the sound of gradual footsteps came from outside the mottled palace wall, followed by a series of anxious calls: "Four princes! Your Highness! Don't run away, wait for the minion! That place is not going to go!"

Hearing only an arrogant voice said displeased: "Is there any place in this palace that the prince can't go to?"

With the voice approaching the door, the **** finally caught up with the master, dragging him to plead, "Your Highness! This Mingyue Palace has caused evil, bad luck, can't go in!"

Lin Jingyuan is an obedient person? The more you said you couldn't go, the more he wanted to go, and immediately opened the door with a palm and strode in.

Lin Feilu was still kicking the shuttlecock with Lin Zhanyuan.

The autumn sun is faint, and only a thin layer of golden light remains when it falls through the clouds. The little girl with two small pulls on top of her head wore a pale pink jacket and skirt, and she was caged in the light, kicking the shuttlecock with a smile, and the little figure jumped and jumped, smart and cute.

Lin Jingyuan felt that he suddenly understood the words "quiet like a virgin and moving like a rabbit".

He scolded the **** with dissatisfaction: "My sister of the Five Emperors is like a little fairy. Where there is her, there is only immortality and no bad luck! I can't forgive you any more dog slaves talking nonsense!"

Lin Feilu heard his voice and looked up. Her agile figure just stopped in place, and the shuttlecock fell on the ground. She tilted her head and looked towards the door. Her two small hands were twisted in front of her in a bewildered manner, watery. There was a sparkling surprise in his big eyes.

Lin Jingyuan walked in and shouted "Little Deer" with interest.

She pursed her lips in embarrassment and laughed, revealing sweet dimples, as if she was very happy that he still remembered her name, obediently watching him get closer and closer, when he walked up to her and picked up the shuttlecock. Then he raised his face and shouted softly, "Brother Jingyuan."
