Sapphire Warriors

"Squeak—" With a sound, the wooden door was pushed open.

The light outside the house pierced the darkness and shone in. Haruko blinked slightly, and saw a familiar figure approaching her in a daze, and when she approached again, the smell of makeup and powder brought by that graceful figure made Haruko vaguely discern that this person was who?

Mary?Is it Mari Kawai?Haruko curled up in the corner, staring straight at the pair of embroidered shoes on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, she didn't dare to raise her head, and she didn't want to raise her head, because until this moment, she hoped that it wasn't Mari who betrayed her, but the reality no longer Having shattered her fantasy once, Haruko raised her head and saw that the person in front of her was Mari!

Why?Why!Even if love and sisters are just a joke, then there is always a sense of master and servant in all these years, right?If she doesn't come to serve her by her side, she should be a bit human after all, why would she collude with Aunt Gui to harm me?Why……

Mari saw Haruko curled up in the corner, with disheveled hair, dull eyes, pale face, and chapped lips. She was really surprised. It was just a few days of confinement, and a young girl in her prime was destroyed like this. It is said that the tactic of not giving food or drinking is the most effective, and even the hardest girl can't stand it.

Mari walked up to Haruko, stroked the sea on her forehead with her hands, pretended to be very distressed and said, "Oh, I really feel sorry for you, why is your face so bad..."

Haruko stared at her and didn't speak. Suddenly, she saw the opportunity, grabbed Mari's wrist, and said, "Let me out, if you don't let me out, I'll bite you!"

Mari was really frightened by Haruko's move and took a step back. She never thought that Haruko, who had always been submissive, would become like a lunatic, but no matter what, now it's the right thing to do with Kiyota Nobunaga's confession, so Mari decided Gathering his mind, he comforted him: "Don't be like this, I'm also angry, angry that Mr. Qingtian is half-hearted, eating what's in the bowl and thinking about what's in the pot..."

"Then why don't you let me out quickly!" Haruko shouted with anger in her eyes.

Mari saw that Haruko was quite angry at the moment, so she rolled her eyes and acted both hard and soft. On the one hand, she said that Kiyota Nobunaga was bullying others, which was really hateful, and on the other hand, he said that he was infatuated with Haruko and envied him very much. , that is, if Haruko obediently obeyed Qingtian, Qingtian would not treat her badly.

Unexpectedly, it would have been better not to say these words, but it would have angered Haruko, don't look at her as a girl, before Mari finished speaking, he picked up the bowl on the ground and smashed it, holding up a piece of debris, and warned Mari: "Go back Tell Kiyota Nobunaga, if he dares to act recklessly, I will kill him!"

Seeing this battle, Ma Li became anxious and said, "Calm down, let's not talk about this."

Haruko refused, and held up the fragments and rowed towards Mari, crying as she rowed, "Will you let me out? Can you still imprison me for the rest of your life!? You are breaking the law!"

Mari was afraid that Haruko would hurt herself, so she squeezed Haruko's wrists tightly with both hands, and said, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"You are crazy. Look at what you have done. You colluded with Aunt Gui to harm me in order to curry favor with Kiyota Nobunaga. You are still not human!"

Mari was completely annoyed by Haruko's scolding, she threw Haruko to the ground fiercely, and then said with a sneer: "To tell you the truth, your contract of prostitution has long been with Kiyota Nobunaga, and you have long been his If he insists, you have nothing to reason with, just wait for me honestly, think about it, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine!" After finishing speaking, he opened the wooden door and ran out.

After the door was closed again, there was a sound of iron chains. Qingzi knew that they locked the door again, and what awaited her would be endless darkness and fear. She struggled to get up, leaned against the wall, and muttered Language: Sakuragi, where are you?Will you come here and save me, come and save me, come and save me...

Since being restrained by the queen, Rukawa can't go anywhere except Fengya Palace and East Palace, let alone accompany Xiandao. For this reason, he can't sleep or eat well. Whenever he can't eat or sleep, he will copy The scriptures comfort the pain of lovesickness.However, no matter how long the scriptures are, they will always be copied, so on this day, bored, he asked Fujima to come to the East Palace together.

Seeing a bird's nest on the big locust tree at the entrance of the East Palace, Fujima excitedly pulled Rukawa under the locust tree.

Seeing this, Rukawa sneered, "Why is Kenji so excited about a mere bird's nest?"

Fujima took the opportunity to comfort him, the so-called "there is a bird's nest in the house, and the blessings are endless", even the birds will nest here, which shows that the East Palace is a treasured place of geomantic omen, and the prince living here must live a happy and healthy life.

Hearing these words, Liu Chuan sighed, looked up at the bird's nest, and said, "If this is the case, I hope there will be more bird's nests in the Xuanzheng Palace."

While the two were talking, the nanny of the East Palace carried the prince to Rukawa, saying that the prince slept soundly last night, but this morning he was crying and had several rashes on his face.

Rukawa pulled off the swaddling clothes slightly, and saw that there were indeed many red rashes on Chen'er's face. In desperation, he immediately asked Fujima to come forward for a diagnosis.

Tengzhen glanced at Chen'er's rash, then looked around the East Palace, and saw all kinds of chrysanthemums in the North Garden of the East Palace. Combined with Tang Ben's diagnosis last time, Tengzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "The fragrance of the flowers is pleasant, but the pollen is easy to smell. The wind blows away because of wind evil, which can cause poisonous heat, which can cause lesions in weak people, the little prince is congenitally deficient, and his lungs are weak, if he is infected by wind evil, his skin will become red and swollen, his whole body will even become hot, and he will faint."

After hearing this, Ruchuan glanced at the chrysanthemums and said, "These chrysanthemums have not been placed here overnight, why did it take until now..."

Fujima immediately replied: "The grass people guessed that it might be caused by the change of wind direction. But last time I told you to be careful of the dust. Why are there so many chrysanthemums suddenly appearing in the East Palace?"

After Rukawa heard this, the look in his eyes turned cold. If he wanted to explain why there are so many chrysanthemums, it might be the queen's "masterpiece" again!Rukawa remembered that the queen once said that after the autumnal equinox, all the flowers withered, only the chrysanthemums were hardy, so he ordered people to plant chrysanthemums

At this time, Eunuch Sangtian whispered in Ruchuan's ear, "Could it be that the queen wants to harm the little prince?"

Rukawa immediately said seriously: "There is no real evidence, don't talk nonsense. Even if the empress did it, how did the empress know that the little prince has this disease?"

So Sang Tian told Ruchuan the rumors he had heard by chance last time. He said that a month ago, the little eunuch next to the queen had gone to the imperial hospital to check the cases. When he came out, he was hit by Sang Tian. Came to decoct medicine for the queen.Sang Tian didn't report to Rukawa because he didn't get any evidence. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he is probably checking the cases of Rukawa and the little prince.

When Rukawa heard the news, he was startled, then calmed down, and said: "Understood!" After speaking, he sent Sang Tian to escort Fujima out of the palace, while he walked towards the Imperial Garden.

There is a saying in an ancient poem: The thin leaves are light green, and the round flowers are bright yellow.

In the imperial garden, Yayoi said to Gao Touli beside him while trimming "Rouge Dianxue", "Chrysanthemums are different from hundreds of flowers that bloom in spring, but only bloom in late autumn, just like the lonely and reclusive gentleman, It reveals an arrogance and extraordinary character. It is really admirable."

This is cleverly said, it seems to be praising the chrysanthemum, and it seems to be a metaphor for himself, it is really elusive, but it doesn't matter if you are tall, he just praises according to Yayoi's words, for a woman who has not been favored, What's the harm in giving a little illusory praise?

But some people just don't!Before Yayoi finished speaking, he interrupted: "I don't think so!" As soon as the words fell, Rukawa walked into the imperial garden, bowed and said: "See the empress, the empress is blessed and safe."

"Pingshen." Yayoi raised his phoenix eyes, glanced at it, and then asked: "It seems that the young master has a different opinion on this chrysanthemum?"

"The chrysanthemum in front of me is not a gentleman!" Rukawa said bluntly.

These words were cleverly said again, as if belittled to the chrysanthemum, and seemed to be insulting the queen.However, if Aida Yayoi got angry because of a word, then she would not be able to sit in the back seat today. She smiled slightly and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Rukawa was also not polite, and said bluntly: "You should know what you have done!"

Yayoi was puzzled, and said bluntly: "I have always done things aboveboard!"

As soon as these words came out, Rukawa's eyes were as cold as ice, and he asked: "Is it fair to poison Chen'er with the fragrance of flowers!?"

"Boldly Rukawa Kaede, to slander Hongu!" Yayoi shouted angrily.

However, Rukawa didn't take her seriously at all, and directly explained what Sang Tian saw in the Tai Hospital, and got the doctor on duty at the Tai Hospital to testify on the day the incident happened.

Yayoi saw that the evidence was convincing, and if he continued, he could only describe it more and more darkly, so he changed the subject, excused that he didn't know, and immediately brought the little eunuch under his command to justice, and then came to Rukawa and said: "It's just a misunderstanding, I believe the young master will not Take it for granted."

Rukawa glanced at her, and said coldly: "Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to alarm the emperor. Speaking of the emperor, I have not seen the emperor for a long time. I wonder if the imperial edict issued by the empress can be taken back now?" ?”

Yayoi is helpless, the handle has been caught, if she doesn't take it back, Rukawa will still see Xiandao in the future, and will definitely make a big fuss about it at that time, why not take it back now, maybe you can give him a favor Rukawa, thinking about this, Yayoi said: "This palace also has this intention."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuan immediately bowed and said, "I will go to the Xuanzheng Palace to meet the emperor immediately, and I will take my farewell first!" After speaking, he left the imperial garden without looking back...

Xiandao sat alone in the Xuanzheng Palace reviewing the memorials, and while he was reviewing, he thought of Rukawa again, so he took out the mahogany dagger sent by Rukawa that day, thinking about others when seeing things, and comforting the pain of lovesickness.

Speaking of this mahogany short sword, Xiandao vaguely remembered that when he was 10 years old, King Cheng Xiandao made trouble and imprisoned him inside the four red walls. Swords, to make him happy, they often hold a mahogany dagger in each hand and "compete" in the yard.It's just that every time Rukawa loses to him by a short move, which makes him laugh out loud. It wasn't until many years later, when he matured and his temperament changed, that he realized that Rukawa deliberately lost to him, just so that he could smile Facing adversity, walk out of it with a smile.

Xiandao put down his dagger and sighed softly. He was helpless against Yayoi's decree, not to mention that Aida's family still had three points of power in the court, even Aida Yayoi, the queen, did a good job, but he couldn't give her anything. .

At this time, there was a sound of brisk footsteps on the long corridor outside the house, and then the door was pushed open——

"Zhang'er—" A cold voice came in.

"Feng'er——" Xiandao couldn't believe everything in front of him, and the next moment, he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged the person in front of him...

So this night, the Xuanzheng Palace is doomed to be full of chaos, the spring is endless, and it is beautiful...

So does Yayoi Aida really have the guts to harm the prince?

Not really, she just heard rumors that Ruchuan became pregnant after taking some kind of pill, so she ordered someone to go to Tai Hospital to check Ruchuan's case.However, it happened that "planting flowers on purpose but not blooming, and planting willows and willows unintentionally to make shade", the matter of the pills, did not find out why, but was caught by Rukawa and beat her up, not only forcing her to withdraw the decree, but also snatched away the servant Opportunity, so this night, Yunxiu Palace and Xuanzheng Palace are the same but different, the same is full of mess, the difference is full of scolding...

It really echoes the saying, "There is a bird's nest in the house, and the blessings are endless."

When Fujima went to the palace to meet Rukawa again, he noticed that his complexion was much better than before.

Rukawa told Fujima that everything is fine in Immortal Dao, and that Chen'er is also in good health. He was very relieved. At the end, he said: "Things in the palace are turbulent, and we have to guard against them. Only you have rescued me from danger many times." , besides the emperor and Chen'er, you are the third person I care about in this world, when there is no one in private, you and I will be called brothers, how about it?"

Fujima was startled, and said in a panic: "Cao Min is a commoner, how dare he overstep it."

Rukawa was amused by his appearance, and said, "Well, I won't force you."

When Fujima heard this, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Just now, he just said that out of his heart. Now that he thinks about it, if he can be called a brother with Rukawa, isn't it what he dreams of?So he tentatively asked: "I don't know if the young master has brothers and sisters?"

Rukawa seldom talked about family affairs with others. Since he became the chief minister, no one dared to ask about his family affairs. Fujima in front of him was still No.1.But he didn't mind Tengzhen's abruptness, and said: "There is a brother, but unfortunately he is lost." Then, he slowly told his past before entering the palace:

As far as I can remember, the word "parents" does not exist in Rukawa's dictionary. When he was 4 years old, he wandered around with his brother who was two years older than him, begging.Although life was poor at that time, he never complained.

However, even though he had nothing to ask for, the god of fate still teased him.

In the winter when he was 6 years old, his only relative, his elder brother lied to him and said that he would buy him the mahogany sword that he had liked for a long time. He nodded happily after hearing this, but his elder brother never came back after leaving But a middle-aged man said to him: "Your brother has already sold you to me!"

After that, the middle-aged man took him to a troupe called "Happy Moon".In those dark lives, as long as there is something that is not as good as a man's heart, he will be beaten with a whip and fisted.

Things have come to this point, the young Rukawa had to endure the torture of fate once again, all he wanted was food and clothing.But the God of Destiny once again ruthlessly destroyed his only remaining faith.

At the age of 7, the theater troupe he was in was disbanded due to poor management, and the middle-aged man then sold him to human traffickers.In the hands of human traffickers, in addition to punching and kicking, starvation and poor clothing are commonplace.Having fallen to this point, he began to become more and more taciturn.And because of his reticence, he was imprisoned in a small dark room by human traffickers. In that small dark room, the poor man finally suffered from "depression".

Just when he thought his life was like this, this time, fate gave him a glimmer of life.

It was a snowy winter day, and the traffickers told the abducted children that they could either cleanse themselves and become eunuchs in the palace, or cut off their limbs and go begging on the street. My father-in-law Gong Yi was smart when he came to choose.After he heard this, his eyes, which had always been as calm as a pool of stagnant water, finally had a subtle ripple.

At noon, a man who looked like a father-in-law came to the traffickers to pick out children. After walking around, he didn't like any of them.Just as he was about to go back home, Rukawa summoned up his courage and said, "Elder-in-law, I want to enter the palace!"

It was this clear voice that caught Gong Yiyifan's attention.

Gong Yi came in front of him, and after carefully looking at him covered with dirt, he felt that the child in front of him was a dusty pearl, really delicate and clear.Without further ado, he immediately bought Rukawa...

A few words, but it made Fujima feel like the world was falling apart. He knew that there was no mistake. Rukawa Feng in front of him was his brother who had been lost for 20 years. He couldn't help wanting to recognize each other. Ran from a distance to tell Rukawa that Xiandao wanted to see him.

So Rukawa got up, took out a token from his waist, put it in front of Fujima, and said: "This is my heart, accept it, if there is anything I need to help in the future, as long as you show this token, you will be able to pass without hindrance .”

Rukawa's move is undoubtedly a blow to the head, waking up Fujima!He looked at the badge, feeling very sad, yes, after we parted that year, he never expected to see each other again, but it would be like this. He is an official, he is a citizen, and the disparity in status made him immediately put away the things he recognized. Thinking about it, he took the token, and when he looked up again, he was already smiling, and said, "Thank you, Master Jian."

Rukawa nodded slightly, and followed Sang Tian back, but within two steps, he heard Fujima calling him from behind.

"Son."

Rukawa turned his head and signaled Fujima to continue.

So Fujima stepped forward, made a good effort in his heart, and asked: "If one day, the young master sees the lost brother, what will the young master do?"

"I will..." The sudden question left Rukawa without an answer for a while.

At this time, Eunuch Sangtian urged him, saying that the emperor could not delay.

So, Rukawa gave Fujima a friendly smile, and then left with Sangtian. Although he didn't say the answer, he already knew it in his heart, that is "kill him"!
