After walking out of Yuanwai's Mansion, Qi Zi calmed down and walked to the left. Along the way, the sounds of hawkers, the shouts of wine drinkers, and the sounds of children playing on both sides of the street came to his ears from time to time. Everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful.

After a while she slowed down and walked slowly

In front of a nearby mansion, this mansion is very grand compared to Yuanwai's Mansion. In comparison, Yuanwai's Mansion is much shabby. The two doors are tightly closed, and ordinary people dare not approach. The vermilion painted door is exposed, with lions on both sides.

Observe strict conduct, this is the Ronghou Mansion of the Celestial Dynasty.

Looking at the three golden chapters with big red lacquer characters, she took a step closer and her heart ached. Seven years ago, when she was ten years old, in the Ronghou Mansion, although she was not often held and coaxed, she could do it.

She had no worries about food and clothing. She was supposed to live a carefree life like other wealthy ladies. Unexpectedly, she

When the Marquis went out on business, the mother and son were kicked out of the house by the eldest lady of the Marquis Rong Mansion, her aunt, on unfounded charges. Her mother contracted an incurable disease after giving birth to her and has been there ever since.

She was never cured, so she was in tears all day long, and one day she went blind from crying.

At such a young age, she didn't know what to do, so she had to wait until her father, the Marquis, came back to complain. She never thought that the father she had always loved since she was a child not only failed to seek justice for their mother and son, but also coldly left her alone.

Tell her: I feel sorry for her mother's illness, so I allow her to go back to the accounting office to collect ten taels of silver on this day every month. The image of her father is in

Her young heart suddenly collapsed. The moment she turned around and left, she vowed from then on to be strong and not to be looked down upon by others. Although she was young, she could not tolerate her self-esteem being hurt. She wanted to protect herself and protect herself well.

Mother. But at this time of the month, in order for her mother's illness to be cured with good medicine, she had to put down her pride and go back to the house to get money.

She was sentimental, her eyes were wet, and she did not allow tears to fall. She lowered her head and thought about the past and walked towards the side door, not wanting to bump into someone at the corner.

"Oh." She fell to the ground and turned around to see two men, one tall and one short. The tall man was very strong and had a delicate face. The other was armed and standing there with a long knife in his hand.

Very mighty.

The short man has a petite stature, a delicate face, a bit of pink, and is dressed in high-quality clothes. He is not an ordinary person.

"Girl, I'm sorry, are you okay?" The tall man stretched out his hand to help her as he spoke. Qi Zi glanced at him, stood up, patted the dust on his body and said, "I'm okay."

"It's okay." The short man came out from behind the tall man and looked at her and said. His words made Qi Zi a little cold. Then he saw him patting the tall man on the shoulder and saying, "Let's go, we still have something to do."

I have some errands to run."

The tall man glanced at Qi Zi, clasped his hands and said, "Farewell."

Walking by, she looked back at the two retreating figures and thought: What do these two people do? Then she thought, it's none of my business what they do. Ignoring them, she went to the side door of Ronghou Mansion.

After knocking three times, an old woman, about sixty or so, opened the door. When she saw Qi Zi, she said with a smile on her face: "Second Miss, you are back, come in quickly."

Qi Zi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you, Ma Tang."

Tang Ma closed the door and walked with Qi Zi and said, "Let's go and sit in my room for a while."

"Yeah." The two of them were walking in tandem on the corridor. Qi Zi heard Tang's mother sigh and say, "Tang's mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Second Miss, don't you know?" Tang Ma asked in surprise.

"What do I want to know? Is there something wrong?" Qi Zi asked back.

"Alas, Miss Liran passed away." Tang's mother said regretfully. Qi Zi stopped and looked at Tang's mother in disbelief and said, "What did you say? Sister Liran died? How could it be? She didn't enter the palace.

Will you be a queen? How could you die?" Qi Zi asked anxiously.

"I only know a rough idea. The news came out from the palace half a month ago that she was dying. Ten days ago..." Tang's mother said with some regret.

Qi Zi sat helplessly on the corridor chair in the corridor, tears falling down. Liran was the apple of the eye of the Minister of Rites, and she had been friends with Qi Zi since she was a child. Six months ago, she sent people to invite Qi Zi to her house and told Qi Zi

She was told that she was about to enter the palace. Qi Zi happily blessed her and even embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks for her.

I gave her a gift to congratulate her on her wedding. Although Liran's expression was a bit wrong at that time, Qizi thought she was nervous about getting married, but she really didn't expect that we would be separated forever now. Qizi is good

Sad, recalling every bit of the past with Liran, my heart hurts as if something was twisting it.

"Second Miss, don't be too sad. Maybe this is a curse like the rumors outside." Tang Ma said unintentionally. Qi Zi came over and asked with interest: "A curse? What curse?"

"It's no wonder, Miss Second, that you don't know. Even though our emperor is only twenty-three or four years old, he has had two empresses before. I wonder if the first two empresses were destined to be emperors. They both passed away within three months.

Now. Miss Liran is like this now, I don’t know if it’s God’s will?” Tang’s mother finally said, Qi Zi was confused when he heard it, but he still looked at Tang’s mother in confusion, hoping that Tang’s mother could explain it more clearly.

"I can't talk anymore. I'm talking too much about bad things. Let's go." Tang Ma remembered helping Qi Zi and said.

Suddenly she remembered that when she was playing in the Ronghou Mansion when she was a child, Li Ran gave a Phalaenopsis to Qi Zi. She stood up and said, "Mother Tang, I'm going to Tianxin Pavilion to have a look. You can find me there later."

"Don't worry, you can go today. The eldest lady and my wife are out of the house, and the third young master is not here either. You can stay there for a while."

"I understand, what about the master?" Qi Zi asked, she didn't want to see him.

"It seems that there are very important guests in front. The master is personally receiving them. You don't have to worry."

"Oh, then I'll go there and wait for you."

Tang Ma left with a smile, and Qi Zi gathered her emotions and walked towards Tianxin Pavilion. Tianxin Pavilion is located in the garden of Ronghou Mansion. There are two flower paths in the north and south. Although it is March, the exotic flowers here are still competing for each other.

Open. She walked through the cloister, walked through the flower path and came to Tianxin Pavilion. The people here have long been changed. The so-called scene hurts.

Love was exactly what Qi Zi was feeling at the moment. She walked aside and found the Phalaenopsis under the cluster of flowers. Fortunately, it was still there, but now its blooming season had passed. She looked at the pot of green leaves and recalled
