"Where is this golden gourd?"

he asked murmuring to himself.

"How can I find that golden gourd?"

A voice always lingered in his ears. This sentence reminded him all the time and brought him back to reality from his lonely contemplation.

"Hey... I don't know how Yue'er is doing now. She has been looking for the golden gourd wholeheartedly for a long time!"

Thinking about this place, he suddenly stood up and looked around, but except for the cold palace walls and the lonely alleyways, there was really no one there.

"What is in this golden gourd? Could it be that if we find the golden gourd, most of our worries can be solved?"

At this time, a sudden voice echoed.

He began to look flustered, and there were waves of confusion in his eyes.

"Master! What are you doing standing here alone? What are you looking at so fascinatedly?"

When he turned around, he realized that Yao Xianxiu was standing behind him.

"Master! Come with me quickly!"

As she spoke, she grabbed King Lin's hand, turned around and pulled him towards the door.

He bent his legs, his surprised eyes filled with disappointment.

"What's the matter? Isn't it nice to just say it like this? Why do you always have to hold me back?"

Glancing at the sky above his head, he murmured: "Looking at the deep dusk, I feel exhausted both physically and mentally, as if the sky is about to change. Alas..."

After entering the house, it was windy outside, and I could see leaves falling in the wind outside the window.

"My lord! Why are you so unhappy? I made something delicious, and you will feel better if you try it! You help me take care of everything every day. If you are always depressed, what are you doing with so many things?

Time only matters? I’m afraid it will be bad for your health over time, right? Didn’t I tell you? You still have concubines by your side!"

She raised her head and met King Lin's eyes for a moment, but suddenly she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Master! If there were no you in this world and no encouragement from you, I really don't know what else in life would be worth cherishing?"

However, his heavy eyelids could not be opened, and a wave of drowsiness continued to grow stronger. He yawned long and rubbed his forehead, his eyes full of weariness.

"Well... I feel so sleepy, so I won't taste what you made for now! Let's talk about it after I wake up!"

He yawned and rubbed his forehead, the look of sleepiness on his face getting stronger.

After hearing this, her mind went blank for a moment and she couldn't come back to her senses. She just felt that her heart was as heavy as lead, a dark gray mass mixed with a painful and painful feeling.

"Um...okay..."

She stepped out of the door lonely, and the sense of loss in the corners of her eyes and brows solidified instantly.

"Why can't I win your heart no matter what I do?"

Thinking of this, her nose suddenly felt sore, and two lines of tears fell down from the corners of her eyes.

"In his heart, no matter what I do, it is all in vain. After so many years, my existence has always been so unnecessary..."

Suddenly, a whisper came to her ear: "Do you really love King Lin that much?"

"who?!!!…………"

"It doesn't matter who it is! I just don't want to see you sad!"

"Who are you?!!!………………"

Just after these two conversations, she became energetic.

"Since King Lin doesn't love you and you have been in love for so many years, why don't you give up and choose another way out? Woman! When you reach a certain age, you have less and less resources. Since you have paid so much, there is still no result.

, why not find another way out for yourself?"

After hearing this, she suddenly looked around nervously like a drowning ghost struggling for her life.

"Who are you?!!! How dare you pretend to be a fool in front of me!......"

However, when she turned around and looked around, she could not find the person who was speaking.

In an instant, she felt waves of panic in her heart spreading down her back to her collar like a cunning snake.

"Ah.........I, am I dreaming?"

Suddenly she rubbed her forehead, turned around and ran in panic, telling herself that all this was just an illusion, but then a smile appeared on her cheeks, and the thoughts in her mind jumped out.

"Could it be that...could it be that some god saw my misery and took pity on me?"

She staggered and wanted to turn around to find out, but when she looked at the dark sky, a timid feeling made her give up the idea.

"Forget it, it's getting dark soon. If there was a god, he wouldn't come to me at night!..."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and at this moment, a cold wind blew over her, making her feel even more chilled.

"Don't leave! Don't you want to know how to make King Lin fall in love with you?"

"Um?…………"

She stopped again, and when she was about to look back at the situation, another thought came to her mind: It was already evening, and if she was a kind person, she shouldn't have come to me at this time!

Her mood was contradictory and tangled. She had just calmed down her frightened mood, but she felt that her headache had gotten a little worse.

"Oh...forget it! I don't want to know this. Let's talk about anything during the day!"

She rubbed her eyes and calmly calmed down her frantic mood.

"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll wait until daytime to come back!"

Sure enough, the voice disappeared after finishing speaking.

She stood there and looked around her surroundings. Apart from the sound of the wind blowing leaves flying all over the sky, there was only a lonely silence in the gray night.

"Eh? Why is it so quiet tonight? Logically speaking, there is no reason for it to be so quiet! Why are there no maids? Why are there no guards patrolling the night?"

Not only that, she raised her head and looked around. Even the light of the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the palace above her head seemed unusually weak.

"What's going on? Did I go to the wrong place?"

"Drink something quickly! Drink something quickly!"

Xia Ruyan hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, her eyes filled with tears.

"Drink some!...... After drinking this cup, I will tell you a shocking news, I guarantee you will be happy!"

Yao Xianxiu took the cup, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. After a cup of hot tea, her whole body, hands and feet began to feel warm in a short while.

"What's going on?"

Yao Xianxiu put down her teacup, wiped her mouth, and her complexion gradually improved.

"I recently suggested to Concubine Jiang to make another arrangement for you, and she agreed this morning! You can leave the imperial palace!"

Xia Ruyan said and winked at her again, with a little secret amusement in her expression.

"Really? But......"

Her expression suddenly brightened, but then dimmed like a shooting star.

"But what?"

Xia Ruyan looked at the loneliness on her face again, then pursed her lips and smiled mysteriously.

"But sister, you transferred a few of my maids away. My manpower here is tight! What's more, what's the use of transferring the maids I brought from my parents' house?"

Xia Ruyan suddenly slapped the table and agreed: "Who said it's useless? It's very useful, and it's because I'm a confidant around you, so I feel more at ease! I want to use the smart maids around you to train

Two eyeliners......"

When she was saying this, she suddenly approached Yao Xianxiu's ear and lowered her voice so that the ending sound was light and airy.

"ah?!!!!!………………"

Yao Xianxiu was extremely shocked. What she didn't expect was that Xia Ruyan had made such a plan.

"But………………"

When the words came to her mouth, she always felt like something was wrong, but she really couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Don't think too much! Anyway, from now on, if I drink a mouthful of soup, I will have a mouthful of yours, and if I have a share of happiness, you will have half of it."

The smile on her face became more and more profound. These words really made Yao Xianxiu feel that the day when her dead wood would turn into spring was getting closer and closer.

"Sister, please accept your respects from me!"

Yao Xianxiu's expression was really secretly happy!

However, Xia Ruyan stood up suddenly and grabbed her arm...
