Back in the room, Xia Chengxuan collapsed on the bed.
The so-called mental and physical exhaustion, the so-called dilemma, may be this.
If he wants to take revenge, he must bring down Xia Muyan; and if he wants to bring down Xia Muyan, he must get evidence of the evil things he did.
Those handles were in Zhang Suiguang's hands. As long as he agreed to do something for him, he would hand over all the handles on Xia Muyan.
"How could I harm Uncle Mei? How could I harm Yuan Chen's relatives?"
"Without those items, how can we alone defeat Xia Muyan and Hu Xiu'an?"
"As long as Xia Muyan ascends the throne and doesn't cause trouble for Prince Jaw's Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain momentum in my lifetime. How can I take revenge?"
"Will my father's revenge not be avenged? Did my father die in vain? As a human son, if you can't avenge your father's murder, what's the point in your life?"
"How can I get Zhang Suiguang to give me the object in his hand without me harming Mei Mansion? If he wants to use me as an excuse, there must be other ways."
... ...
Xia Chengxuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Boom~~~ It's time"
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Boom~~~ It's time"
After the watchman of the palace reported Yin hour, he fell asleep in a daze.
Xia Chengxuan was the only one who couldn't sleep this night?
After coming out of Xia Muchao's study, Ran Jingru was walking alone in the house.
Walking through the lotus pond, I seem to see Xia Muchao pointing at the lotus leaves by the pond and saying: "Xiaoru, look, there are many little tadpoles under the lotus leaves. In another month, they will grow into frogs and croak..." ..”
Walking through the ginkgo forest, I seemed to see Xia Muchao walking towards me against the falling golden leaves. He said cheerfully: "Xiaoru, this year's ginkgo leaves are the most beautiful. I'll have people pick them up to make a mattress for you." OK?"
Walking across the three-arch bridge, it seemed that Xia Muchao was standing on the bridge opening, waving and smiling at himself: "Xiaoru, your health is not fully recovered. It's better to move your muscles and muscles more when you have time. Don't you like flowers and plants? I'm in Jinghu Garden. I’ll plant a lot of flowers for you, okay?”
Thinking of the past, the smile on Ran Jingru's face grew brighter and brighter, and she walked slowly towards Jinghu Garden.
Although the palace was experiencing a troubled period, the servants did not take the opportunity to be lazy, and the plants in Jinghu Garden were still taken care of in a colorful way.
"Your Majesty, are these flowers I planted well?" Ran Jingru walked in the sea of flowers and said with a chuckle, "The red star-shaped flowers are cinnamon flowers. Haha, I checked in ancient books, cinnamon flowers It can be used as medicine and has the effect of reducing swelling and removing blood stasis."
After walking for more than twenty steps, the smile on his face became even brighter. He pointed at a bunch of white flowers and whispered: "I remember you said that you also like this lily of the valley very much, like small jade bowls that are turned upside down. The lilies of the valley are in bloom right now, I’ll pick some for you to see.”
After whispering, he squatted down, picked seven or eight of the most beautiful lily of the valley flowers, carried them with the outer gauze of his robe and skirt, and walked deeper.
"This is Zedoary! Does it look good?"
"That little blue bud is Lan Xue. It will bloom in a few days. It's so pretty!"
... ...
When Ran Jingru returned to the main residence, two girls on night duty were sitting in the hall and taking a nap.
She walked up to the two of them and called softly: "Magnolia, Rose!"
"Um...Princess?" The little girl named Qiangwei woke up after hearing the voice. She quickly stood up and bowed, "Princess, you just came back. I... the two of us... .”
Another little girl also woke up at this time, walked to Ran Jingru, took her hand, and helped her sit down.
"If you're tired and have a rest, it won't matter. How can I blame you." Ran Jingru said with a chuckle, "I'm really tired. Go get me some hot water. I want to take a bath."
After listening to her words, Qiangwei and Yulan said "yes" and went on, carrying four buckets of hot water and four buckets of cold water one after another.
After bathing, she put on her favorite robe. Ran Jingru's face was rosy, and there was no trace of sadness on her face. She could not tell that she was a newly widowed husband.
There is also a small desk in the main residence, which was originally used for Xia Muchao to paint when he got up early. Ran Jingru sat in front of the writing desk, spread out the paper, lightly studied the ink, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the pen.
... ...
Although he went to bed early, Xia Chengyi did not sleep well at all. That night, she had many, many dreams.
The dream turned out to be very happy: I and my brother Yuanchen were getting married, and when we were praying in the hall, the master of ceremonies shouted "Two bows to the high hall".
At this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark, and two weirdos walked out of a black mist. One of them was in black, the other in white, both wearing high hats, one was holding shackles, and the other was holding handcuffs, and they were walking slowly into the ceremony hall.
When Xia Muchao saw them coming, he became furious. He got up from his seat and walked in front of the two of them. He shouted sternly: "Where are you leprous? Go away quickly. Don't ruin my daughter's good deeds!"
The weird man in black said sinisterly: "Xia Muchao, your life has expired. The Lord of Hell has sent us to seize your soul. Why don't you follow us to the underworld and report to the underworld as soon as possible!"
The weird man in white shook the shackles in his hands and said coldly: "You are destined to die at the third watch, so we can never keep you until the fifth watch. Put on the shackles and follow us on the road to hell!"
For some reason, Xia Muchao suddenly seemed to lose consciousness and walked towards the two of them in a daze, and was put in shackles and handcuffs by them. Seeing this, Ran Jingru couldn't stand it, and followed them all the way, shouting: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I don't trust you to go to hell alone, I will accompany you! We did it in the world. I haven't had enough of being a husband and wife in this life. Let's be companions together on the road to hell, and we can be a ghost couple in the underworld..."
When Xia Chengxuan saw his father and mother being taken away by those two black and white weirdos one after another, Xia Chengxuan was furious. He pointed at Mei Yuanchen's nose and cursed: "You bastard, look at what you will do to our family by marrying my sister! I ... You made me lose my parents, and I will make yours lose my mother too!" As he spoke, he took a knife and chopped down Mei Siyuan and Bai Lisi in the high hall to the ground.
"Brother, what are you going to do? Brother, what are you going to do?"
After shouting several times in succession, Xia Chengyi finally woke up from the nightmare. His forehead and clothes were wet, and his whole body was shivering with cold...
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" After hearing these calls, Ziteng from the next room hurriedly opened the door and rushed in, sitting on the edge of her bed. "Princess, are you having a nightmare again?"
Xia Chengyi shook his head gently and said feebly: "I'm sweating all over. Go get some water. I want to take a bath."
After taking a bath, changing into plain clothes, and washing up, she thought of those nightmares and felt scared and annoyed, so she walked to her mother's room.
After knocking on the door three times, she didn't hear her mother answer or open the door. Xia Chengyi pushed lightly and the door opened. I was about to say hello to my mother when I glanced at...
"Ah~~~~Ah~~~~"
