Mrs. Liu only took one look and knew that these two long-life locks were of extraordinary value, so she hurriedly declined: "The child is still young, how can he bear such a generous gift from the empress."
Nala said nonchalantly: "No matter how young he is, he is still the emperor of our Qing Dynasty. Not to mention a mere two longevity locks, they can accept even the most important gift, unless noble Qian does not want to accept the gift from me."
.”
"My concubine is too late to be happy about the reward given by the empress, so there is no reason why I wouldn't want to." Seeing that she could not refuse, Mrs. Liu had to say: "I thanked the empress on their behalf."
Nala's fingers gently caressed the face of one of the children, and said warmly: "Have you chosen a name for your two elder brothers?"
"When I return to my wife, I haven't given a name yet. From what the emperor wants, I seem to want to wait until the full moon."
After the wet nurse went down with the child, Nala chuckled and said, "On that day, I will change my name and call you my concubine."
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me." Mrs. Liu blushed and said, "Your Majesty shows me your love, and I have always felt that I deserve it."
"What are you talking about? You gave birth to two elder brothers at the same time for the royal family. This achievement is unmatched by anyone in the palace. Not to mention the title of concubine, it is the title of concubine. I take it for granted." At this point,
She said with lingering fear: "Although so many days have passed, my heart will beat fast whenever I think of Mr. Qian's situation at that time; alas, you have suffered a lot for these two children.
.”
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said: "As long as I can spread the branches and leaves for the emperor, no matter how much suffering I suffer, it is worth it."
"Your Majesty Qian is really sensible. No wonder the emperor loves you so much. Even I am overjoyed to see you." Nala was relieved and said happily: "I have never come here before because I am afraid that you will misunderstand me."
Mrs. Liu said strangely: "Why did the empress say this?"
Nala sighed heavily, "It wasn't just for Yingchun, I really didn't expect that she would be so bold and reckless, not only wanting to harm me, but also wanting to alienate the friendship between me and my sister. Now that I think about it,
I am still extremely heartbroken."
Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed and she said considerately: "Let the past be bygones. Although Yingchun is a person close to the empress, many things are beyond her control. Besides, if you really want to talk about it, I have to thank you.
As for Yingchun, if it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t have known that the empress had been secretly helping me. If it hadn’t been for the empress, I might not have been able to give birth to my two children safely.”
Mr. Nala nodded repeatedly, looking at Mr. Liu, his eyes became gentler, "You are such a wonderful person who knows both cold and heat. It is not in vain that I love you so much. Saffron is rare in the capital, and I have spent a lot of money on it."
You can only get it with strength.”
Ms. Liu burst into tears with gratitude and said: "My concubine and my two children will never forget your great kindness. I will always be grateful to you for your great kindness."
"I know." Nala nodded, caressing the pattern embroidered with rich gold thread on her skirt and said, "Then again, with the saffron, my sister's fetus should be stable no matter what.
How could she be born prematurely so many days in advance?"
Ms. Liu lowered her head and said nothing. She also had the same question in her mind. The food she ate and the incense she burned had been checked. There was nothing suspicious. There was only something wrong with the bathing water. The biggest problem was that someone had infested it.
Although she did not believe that Nala would be so kind to save her fetus, there was no doubt that what fell out of the Spring Festival silk bag was saffron with anti-fetal effects.
If it wasn't Nala, then who would be tampering with it? There was also Yingchun. She was very aware of Nala's methods. According to Jin Gu and the others, Yingchun acted like crazy at the time and insisted that Nala was
What made her fall into the bath water was red flowers, and she also uttered wild words about Nala, which was absolutely abnormal. She even felt that Yingchun dropped the silk bag on purpose. If this was true, there would be a lot of trouble in it.
Thinking like this, she said tentatively: "My concubine is also very strange. By the way, when the queen is dealing with Yingchun, what can you ask from her mouth?"
Nala shook her head repeatedly, "After I took her back, she went crazy. She kept cursing at me and couldn't speak properly at all." At this point, she came over and stared at Liu in surprise.
"Mr. Qian asked this, is it because he suspects that Yingchun is under someone else's command?"
Mrs. Liu did not say anything, but just said: "I thought it was possible, so I wanted to ask the empress if she had any questions."
Nala thought for a moment and said, "I really didn't pay attention to this. Xiao Ningzi, when you sent Yingchun out of the garden, was there anything unusual about her?"
Xiao Ningzi had always been confused about what she meant by asking her question. It wasn't until she saw Nala's look towards her that she understood. She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth and said, "When the master said this, the slave really remembered something.
"
"What is it?" Mr. Liu was even more anxious than Mr. Nala.
"My Lord Hui Qian, when I sent Yingchun out of the garden, I left for a short time because of internal anxiety. When I came back, I found that Yingchun was no longer there. I searched for a long time before I found her outside Wanfang and An."
Mrs. Liu exclaimed: "Wan Fang and An?"
"Yes, the servant felt strange at the time. She looked like she wanted to come in. Later, when she saw the servant coming, she turned around and left. The servant also asked her what she was doing here. Yingchun said that she accidentally got lost.
." Xiao Ningzi was making nonsense, but he also had some ability. He told the unfounded things in such a way that even Mrs. Liu couldn't find any doubts.
Nala nodded secretly, obviously very satisfied with Xiao Ningzi's reaction at the critical moment, but his face was filled with surprise: "Is this happening? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Ningzi said aggrievedly: "I thought it was just an insignificant matter, so I didn't report it to the master. But now that I think about it, it's really strange. It's been a while since Yingchun came to the garden. It's impossible to get lost, let alone Wan Fang.
He'an is so far away, it seems like..."
Nala scolded him lightly: "If you don't tell me what it is, why do you look so hesitant in front of noble Qian?"
"Yes." Xiao Ningzi agreed and said, "I look at Yingchun as if I deliberately took advantage of my internal crisis to go to Wanfang He'an."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nala had already shouted: "It's ridiculous. Wanfanghe'an is the residence of Concubine Xi. Do you want to say that Yingchun is related to Concubine Xi? What I don't like the most is the nonsense of people below.
, just gossiping."
"This slave is wronged!" Xiao Ningzi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Everything I know is true and not a single word is false. Yingchun, she..."
Nala interrupted him with a look of displeasure, "Okay, I don't want to hear what you say anymore, so please get out."
