"The emperor is not a ruthless person. The master and the emperor are married and have a deep love for each other. How can a mere concubine Xi separate them? It is just that the concubine was temporarily deceived and alienated the master. The emperor will naturally understand in the future.
clear."
"You should have understood it a long time ago. The emperor is so obsessed with Concubine Xi that he will never be sober again!" Nala squeezed out these words through her teeth, "But she wants to be the first person in the harem, so don't even think about it.
!”
Xiao Ningzi signaled the maids to retreat, and said in a low voice: "Master, Concubine Xi's greatest reliance is her fourth elder brother. As long as the fourth elder brother dies, she will naturally have nothing to worry about."
It is not that the Nala family has never thought about this, but a Hong Sheng has already died before. If he takes action again, I am afraid that Yinzhen will become more suspicious. Moreover, the Niu Hulu family will definitely take strict precautions and try to tamper with it.
It is not easy, but if Hongli is not eliminated, once Yinzhen decides to make Hongli the crown prince, things will become extremely difficult.
Seeing Nala's hesitation, Xiao Ningzi encouraged her again: "Master, Concubine Xi has already forced you to this position. If you give in again, you will really have no place to stand in the future."
His words made Nala's heart beat violently, and he almost agreed. However, when his eyes spread over Xiao Ningzi's face, his eyes gradually became colder, "Xiao Ningzi, the fourth elder brother's matter, I'm looking at you."
You are more anxious than I am, is there anything I don’t know about?”
Xiao Ningzi knew that Nala was suspicious of him, so he knelt down and replied: "This slave is extremely loyal to his master and never hides anything."
Nala said coldly: "If that's the case, why are you so anxious to ask me to get rid of Fourth Brother?"
Xiao Ningzi's heart tightened and she didn't dare to hide it anymore, "My master is wise. I do have some selfish intentions and have never told my master."
"Say!" Nala's only word was this. His cold, razor-sharp gaze made Xiao Ningzi's cheek hurt. He kowtowed and said in a clear voice: "The slave is the slave of the master, and he will follow him all his life.
What belongs to the master, only when the master becomes prominent, can the slaves take advantage of it; and if the fourth prince ascends the throne in the future, Concubine Xi will definitely not let the master go, and similarly, she will not let the slaves go."
Until she finished speaking, Xiao Ningzi felt uneasy, not knowing what kind of outcome was waiting for her.
For a long time, Nala's cold voice sounded in his ears, "So, when you said so much before, you were thinking about yourself, right?"
Xiao Ningzi couldn't understand the meaning of her words and didn't dare to look up. He kept kowtowing his head. He kowtowed so hard that the sound of "bah bah" was clearly audible. He didn't dare to stop until he was dizzy.
, and Nalashi acted as if he didn't see it and just let him knock.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Ningzi finally heard Nala's voice again, ordering him to stop. Xiao Ningzi, as if he was being pardoned, quickly said: "I thank my master for not being blaming."
"Did I say to spare you?" Nala's words made Xiao Ningzi feel cold all over. She didn't know what this changeable master wanted to do to her.
While he was waiting impatiently, Nala said: "As my slave, you encouraged me to harm Brother Si for your own benefit. This is disloyal and unjust. You should have been executed, but I thought of you."
For the sake of being honest with me, I will spare your life for the time being."
Xiao Ningzi was overjoyed, kowtowed quickly to thank him, and cried bitterly: "Master is so magnanimous, I really don't know how to repay you, ugh." He pretended to wipe his tears, and Nala waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Okay, don't pee your horse. How can I not know about your thoughts?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Master!" Seeing that he was seen through, Xiao Ningzi did not dare to say any more. She stood up to express her gratitude and stood aside honestly.
Nala glanced at him without saying anything. Everyone has selfishness, and Xiao Ningzi's selfishness is not to want her to be suppressed by Concubine Xi. This is enough to prove that he has never had any second thoughts about his master.
To her, slave loyalty is more important than anything else.
After a moment of silence, Nala suddenly said: "How are Liu's two children?"
Upon hearing Nala's question, Xiao Ningzi quickly cheered up and said: "Returning to the master, as far as I know, the two elder brothers are in good health, but the younger one who was born later is a little weak. The doctor prescribed it."
I gave the medicine to the wet nurse, and then turned it into milk to feed the little brother."
Nala nodded slightly, thinking a little bit, and said: "Let people collect all the things here, and then you help me go to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. I haven't gone there since Liu gave birth."
After reading it, it’s time to say something to Mr. Liu." Before Xiao Ningzi could agree, she added: "Also, go get the pair of longevity locks that I prepared last time."
"Hey!" Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to ask any more questions. After instructing the palace passers-by to get more things, he carefully helped Nala all the way to Changchun Fairy Pavilion. At that time, the weather was bright and the winter sun was shining brightly.
There was still unmelted snow on the ground, but the winter sun was already giving me some warmth.
Nala went straight in without letting anyone know. Inside, Mrs. Liu was talking to Jin Gu. She was quite surprised when she saw Nala coming in. When she was about to salute, Nala had already held her down and said, "You
It’s important to take good care of your health now, so it’s okay if these false etiquettes don’t do the trick.”
"Thank you so much, Madam." Although Nala was excused from the gift, Mrs. Liu still bowed on the bed.
Nala sat down on the chair brought by the palace servants and said warmly: "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, I am already feeling much better. I just lie in bed all day and feel uncomfortable. I just wanted Jingu to take the unfinished clothes that I had just finished to relieve my boredom, but she refused to allow me. I am so angry."
Can't you be angry?"
Nala smiled lightly and said: "Jin Gu is doing this for your own good. Needlework hurts your eyes the most, especially since you are still in confinement. If your eyes are damaged, the emperor will be heartbroken."
Mrs. Liu's face turned red when she said this, and she lowered her head and said, "My Lady, please stop making fun of me."
"I'm telling you the truth. Who among the people here doesn't know that you and the two elder brothers are the people who are dear to the emperor's heart?" Nala patted her hand and said, "By the way, why don't you see the two young ladies?"
Brother?"
Mrs. Liu replied: "Just now, the nanny carried me down to feed my eyes. By now, I should have finished feeding them. Aunt Jin, please go and bring the two little brothers over so that I can take a look at them."
"Yes." Jin Gu agreed and left. After a while, she was seen bringing two women of similar age, each holding a baby.
Because the two children were full and sleeping, Nala did not hug them. Instead, he hung the longevity locks he brought on the children. The locks were made of pure gold, with a lotus inlaid with rubies and sapphires on one side and a lotus on the other.
It has the four characters "prolong life and longevity", and is decorated with five chains at the bottom, with small bells on them, symbolizing good luck and good luck.
