The next day, Mr. Shu Mulu went to Changmingxuan as usual. After walking for a while, he felt like someone was following him. However, he turned around several times and found nothing unusual, which made him feel very strange.
"Master, what are you looking at?" Ru Liu asked curiously when he saw him turning back frequently.
Shu Mulu took a closer look and then withdrew his gaze and said, "It's nothing, let's leave quickly."
When it came time to attend to Changmingxuan, Mrs. Shumulu put a red musk string on Yushan's wrist as usual and ordered her to go out. He accompanied Mrs. Liu and talked for a long time before coming out.
Xiao Ningzi followed all the way, hiding in the dark and staring. She thought that her trip today was in vain, but unexpectedly she saw Shu Mululu coming out and taking a string of beads that looked like agarwood from Yushan's hand and carrying them with her.
On the wrist.
After Shumulu left, he ran back to Kunning Palace and told Nala in detail what he saw and heard. Then he said: "Master, because the slaves are far away, I am not sure that Hui Gui has learned from the palace maid.
What was retrieved above was the red musk deer string, but there is a high possibility of it."
Nala's face was sullen and silent. If Xiao Ningzi's guess was true, it meant that Shumulu didn't use red musk skewers to deal with Liu at all. He had been perfunctory himself. But in this way, the pulse case would not make sense.
Xiao Ningzi waited for a long time without seeing Nala speak, so she couldn't help but said: "Master, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, if Mr. Shumulu really deceived me, what happened to Dr. He's pulse." Listening to Nala's words, Xiao Ningzi was also filled with wonder. After thinking for a long time, he came up with a bold idea.
He came to his mind and blurted out: "Master, is it possible that the pulse report of Imperial Doctor He is false?"
Nala was suddenly startled, stood up and paced back and forth on the gold bricks. It was undeniable that Xiao Ningzi's guess could explain all the unreasonable things, but in this way, it meant that they were all colluding.
Together.
After walking like this for a few times, a breath of turbid air slowly came out of Nala's mouth, and at the same time, a voice as clear as ice and snow sounded in Xiao Ningzi's ears, "I seem to underestimate the Liu family and Shu Mulu family, especially Shu Mulu family.
Shi, you are really good at it, even I dare to deceive you."
"No matter how she plays tricks on her, she has been discovered by the master." Xiao Ningzi said something flattering and then said: "Master, do you want me to send Hui Hui to ask questions?"
"No need, I don't want to alert the snake. If she wants to play, I will play with her as much as she wants!" A smile appeared on Nala's cheeks, but those eyes were a hundred times colder than before. Xiao Ningzi just looked at her
At one glance, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
After calming down for a while, Nala asked again: "What about Yingchun? What about her?"
Xiao Ningzi hurriedly bowed and said: "To tell the master, there is nothing unusual at Yingchun. I will continue to keep an eye on you. Please don't worry, master."
Nala nodded and said, "Well, keep a close eye on me, but don't let Yingchun find out."
While they were talking, Sun Mo walked in, slapped Qian'er and stood aside without saying anything. Nala glanced at her and said, "What's the matter?"
Sun Mo did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied: "Returning to the master, when I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs today, I happened to meet Yang Hai from Chengqian Palace there, and I heard some words from him, which were related to the second elder brother.
"As he said this, he took a look at Nala's face. He knew that the master would not hesitate to meet the one in Chengqian Palace. If it was not important, he would not mention it in front of Nala.
"Hongshi?" She raised her carefully painted brows slightly with a little surprise, but she also knew Sun Mo's temperament. Although he was not as good at pleasing her as Xiao Ningzi, he was quite practical in doing things, so she said immediately: "Say
Well, what did he tell you?"
"Hey." Sun Mo lowered his head and said: "Yesterday, the emperor had lunch at Chengqian Palace. During this period, he talked about the second elder brother with Concubine Xi. He said that the second elder brother was very close to Prince Lian, and he imitated Prince Lian's behavior in every way.
For this reason, the emperor once reprimanded the second elder brother. Not only did the second elder brother not listen, he even talked back to the emperor, which made the emperor very dissatisfied."
Nala's expression changed, and he stared at Sun Mo and said, "Did Yang Hai tell you these words?"
"Yes, he said that after Concubine Xi heard this, she was very worried about the second elder brother. Unfortunately, she was not the second elder brother's biological mother, so she couldn't say much. She could only advise the emperor not to get angry with the second elder brother."
"She would be so kind!" Nala's eyes darkened, and her armored fingers knocked heavily on the rosewood table where the Eight Immortals' birthday wishes were engraved, and she said coldly: "She can't wait for Hongshi to lose the emperor's favor, so her
Only the son has a chance to inherit the throne."
Xiao Ningzi came over and said: "Master, this servant feels very strange. The people under Concubine Xi are very tight-lipped and usually don't mention irrelevant things. How come Baba and Sun Mo talk so much this time?
Is there any fraud involved?"
Sun Mo originally wanted to say this, but he didn't want to be overtaken by Xiao Ningzi, so he was filled with annoyance, "Master, I thought the same thing, so I reported it to the master as soon as I came back; Master, do you think this is true or not?"
?”
Nala narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "It's not false, but Niu Hulu should have told you these words deliberately through Yang Hai's mouth, or directly told me. She knows that I
The palace has been very upset about the Liu family recently, and she even said these things deliberately, just to make me more busy and Wu Xia will take care of him."
Xiao Ningzi spat: "Concubine Xi is really cunning, and I don't know what charming tricks she used to make the emperor trust her like this. I heard that the emperor also asked Concubine Xi to prepare to move to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate the New Year!"
"She has always been a very resourceful person, otherwise how could she have been fighting with me for so many years." Nala said with a cold face: "After Liu's matter is resolved, I will slowly deal with her and take charge of the Sixth Palace.
We can't always be in her hands." After that, she added: "Xiao Ningzi, please go out of the palace and ask the second elder brother to come in. I have something to say to him."
Xiao Ningzi left as told, and when Hongshi entered the palace, it was already evening. Since the winter solstice, the sky had become pitch black very early, and it was difficult to see clearly from a distance.
Hongshi was wearing a sapphire blue brocade robe, and was led in by Xiao Ningzi. He saluted Nala who was sitting at the top and drinking tea, "My son, please give your regards to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed."
Nala put down the tea cup and said: "Get up and sit down."
After Hongshi sat down as he was told, he said, "The emperor's mother is in a hurry to summon her sons and ministers to the palace. She doesn't know why?"
Nala was not allowed to do that, and said kindly: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen you come to the palace to say hello for a while. I am very concerned about you, so I summoned you to the palace. Isn't it too rude to the emperor?"
Hongshi said guiltily: "Whatever the emperor said, it's all because of my fault. During this time, Huang Ama asked his minister to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites. When he was busy, he forgot to go to the palace to give to the emperor."
Please say hello, but I would like to ask the Emperor’s mother to forgive me.”
