Mr. Shumulu smiled faintly, walked to the charcoal basin and said, "What do you think of Miss Qiangui? How is she?"
Ruliu and Yushan looked at each other and said, "My slave feels that Mr. Qian may not be sincere to his master, but it's still okay. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that she would give one of her children to his master to raise."
Mrs. Shumulus took the wooden handle of the fire tongs and gently played with the red silver charcoal. With a slight crackle of the charcoal, she said: "Ruliu, are you willing to give your child away?"
"This..." Ruliu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I think I can't bear to part with you. I still remember that the day before I entered the palace, my mother kept crying, saying that I couldn't bear to leave you."
Mr. Shumulus raised his head and looked at the colorful painting on the top and said slowly: "Yes, you are so old, and your mother is still reluctant to part with you, but your noble Qian is willing to give me your newborn child to raise, and you can even take the child."
Do you think you can trust people who come to do business? The Queen is certainly not a good person, and neither is Liu Runyu."
Yushan was confused when she heard this, and said blankly: "When did Qiangui trade the child? She just said that the child..."
"What you see is only the surface. Liu Runyu did all this to get the name of the person behind him from me. Once I say the queen's name, it means that I will completely break up with the queen. When the time comes, I will
I have no one to rely on in the harem, not even any heirs, so I can only rely on her, Liu Runyu." Shu Mulu's face became more and more ugly with these words, "And the queen will never let me go. When the time comes, I will only die.
One piece."
Speaking of this, she suddenly sneered, "Liu Runyu even took out the child in order to take advantage of me. It was really cruel. I was almost persuaded by her just now." If she hadn't figured that out, everything would have been over.
It was a foregone conclusion, and she didn't even have the right to regret it.
After Ru Liu understood what happened, he said angrily, "I didn't expect that Lord Qian is such a person. It's a pity that the master didn't believe her, otherwise he wouldn't even know he was harmed by her. In fact, the master has helped her like this, what else does she have?"
I really don’t understand, I have to make the master and the queen fall out to be happy."
"Just to prevent her from being too happy, I deliberately said it was Concubine Xi. Even if she had doubts in her heart, she would not dare to confront Concubine Xi." At this point, she said with a cold look: "
The Queen is a tiger and the Liu family is a wolf. I can neither help the tiger to drive away the wolf nor the wolf to drive away the tiger. The best result is to let them fight each other."
Yushan folded her arms and said fearfully: "It's really scary in this palace. If the master hadn't told the slave to listen, I wouldn't have known that Lord Qian had so many thoughts."
Shu Mululu narrowed her eyes slightly, reflecting the red light of the charcoal fire, and said slowly: "She is good no matter what. In short, since we all entered the palace together, I will never lose to her. If she wants to play tricks with me, I will
Have enough fun with her."
Ru Liu thought for a while and said: "Actually, there is no need to worry about Lord Qian. She has not yet matured. I am afraid that as the master said before, the queen will be impatient to wait. After all, Lord Qian's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is still waiting."
I will give birth in more than three months."
Thinking of this, Mr. Shumulus also had a headache. He put the tongs aside and said: "I know this, but the queen doesn't mention it, so let's continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. If that doesn't work, let Mr. Qian help us perform the show."
I believe she won't be willing to play."
Although she heard what Shu Mulu said, Ruliu still couldn't hide her sadness, "The queen has never given up until she achieves her goal. I'm afraid she won't be so easy to get rid of."
"I know, you go down first." After sending Ru Liu and the others down, Shumulus took out a dry brown leaf from his sleeve. When his eyes fell on that inconspicuous leaf, he became complicated and hesitant.
.After a long time, I sighed softly, and finally put the leaf back into my sleeve quietly again.
At that time, Ling Ruo was sitting in the room reading a book, while Shui Xiu and Yang Hai stood quietly behind her. Because there were two charcoal basins in the room, it was extremely warm and they could not feel the coldness outside at all.
The silence was broken when little Zhengzi came in. He called Qian'er and said, "Master, Mr. Qian is outside asking for an audience."
"Mr. Qian?" Ling Ruo raised her head in surprise. She had not been to Chengqian Palace since she rejected Liu's overture last time. Why did she come here again today? Moreover, she heard from Yinzhen that Liu's
The fetus has always been a little unstable. Logically speaking, in this kind of weather, she should be resting in Changmingxuan. How did she come here?
Thinking like this, she put down the book in her hand and said, "Please invite her in."
"Hey!" After Xiao Zhengzi stepped back for a moment, the door opened again, and Mrs. Liu, who was dressed in cold air, walked in. Before she could salute, Ling Ruo already said: "Stop being so polite and sit down quickly, Shuixiu, you will
I moved the charcoal basin towards Noble Qian to let her warm up, and then went to the small kitchen to see if the bird's nest was ready. If it was ready, I would bring it to Noble Qian."
Mrs. Liu was flattered and said: "My queen is so polite, how can I be embarrassed by this concubine?"
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "No need to be embarrassed, you are two people now, I should treat you well."
After Mrs. Liu thanked her, she said, "Madam, why don't you see Brother Si in the house with you?"
"He went to Yubi's place to practice archery with the fifth elder brother. Besides, if he were here, I wouldn't even have a headache. How can I read a book in peace like this?"
Ms. Liu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Look what the empress said, no one in the palace knows that the fourth elder brother is the most sensible. Whether it is reading, riding or shooting, he is the best in everything. How can he give the empress a headache."
Such a smile came out of nowhere, as if there had never been any grudge. However, Lingruo knew clearly that Liu's sudden visit must have some other purpose, but since Liu didn't mention it, she naturally wouldn't ask.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Liu finally couldn't help but change the topic and said, "Actually, I am here today and I have one more thing to tell my empress."
"If you have anything to say, Lord Qian, just say it." As she spoke, Shui Xiu brought up the freshly stewed bird's nest. The crystal clear bird's nest was poured with fine honey, exuding a sweet and alluring smell.
"Have you ever heard of red musk deer strings?" When asking this question, Mrs. Liu kept her eyes on Ling Ruo's face, trying to get some clues from it.
Ling Ruo frowned slightly. She had heard of red musk strings, but she didn't understand why Mrs. Liu would mention it. After thinking for a moment, she said in a serious voice: "Mr. Qian asked about this for no reason. Where have you seen it?"
In the short time just now, apart from seeing a frown on his brow, he didn't notice anything else. Liu couldn't make a decision for a moment, so he could only laugh and said: "No, I just heard about it occasionally and felt curious, so I asked casually.
