She had encouraged Yinzhen to write the imperial edict the day before, but fortunately it was read out together today. She told Yinzhen to make the matter look more formal, so as not to worry Mrs. Shu Mulu that she was just acting on a whim; but in reality
But it was borrowed
This imperial edict puts pressure on Mrs. Shumulu, making her unable to refuse. The imperial edict written in black and white is different from ordinary words. If she disobeys it, it is disobedience. Even if Mrs. Shumulu is favored in every way now, Mrs. Liu believes that she will not dare to disobey it.
.
Mrs. Shumulu stared at Mrs. Liu's seemingly sincere eyes for a long time, trying to see through her innermost thoughts, but Mrs. Liu hid it too deeply and too well for her to see through. She could only say: "I am grateful to you for your empress to have such a heart."
After all, it’s just that the Seventh Brother is the queen’s heartthrob, how can I bear the heart to separate my mother’s flesh and blood, and ask her to take back her life.”
Mrs. Liu said resolutely: "Sister, please don't be polite to me. You know my character and you must do what I say, otherwise you will never have peace of mind in this life."
The more she said this, the less Shumulu dared not agree. Mrs. Liu was not a good man and a woman of faith. She suddenly gave her seventh brother to her to raise. She must have an ulterior motive. "But I have never raised a child before. I am afraid."
He will not take good care of his seventh brother."
"There are so many people in the palace, so there is no need for my sister to take care of them personally. I just need to tell them to be more careful." At this point, Mrs. Liu said again: "Sister, please don't refuse my kindness.
Besides, even if Hongxun is adopted by my sister, Hongxun and I will not be separated and we can see each other all the time. On the contrary, Hongxun will have an extra mother-in-law to love him."
"But..." Before Shumulu could refuse, Nala had already given him a favor and said: "Since it is Concubine Qian's kindness, Hui Gui should not refuse."
Although she was still not sure of Liu's intention for doing this, it would be interesting to see the situation, so she was willing to give it a try.
"Yes, sister, the emperor's imperial edict has been issued, do you still want the emperor to take it back?" Mrs. Liu seemed to be in the Shumulu family, but the latter knew that she could not refuse at all, otherwise she would be resisting the edict. She
Now I am not so favored that I can not take the imperial edict seriously.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shumulu said helplessly: "Then I'd like to thank you, my concubine."
Mrs. Liu smiled brightly and said: "Sister, you are so polite. You and I are as close as sisters, so there is no need to say thank you. After the banquet, I will personally send Hongxun to my sister."
Mrs. Shumulus nodded distractedly. She had an ominous premonition, as if she had stepped into a trap, but she had no idea what kind of trap it was.
This incident ended with Mrs. Shu Mulu's agreement, but the turmoil aroused in everyone's hearts was far from over. Everyone was speculating on Mrs. Liu's true intention of doing this.
Guarjia frowned and said: "Ruo'er, what do you think the Liu family is planning? They just sealed the concubine here, and then they gave one of their children to the Shumulu family?"
"I can't guess this. When she came to me that day, she already knew that Mr. Shumulu was lying to her. It's really unreasonable to do this now." Ling Ruo stroked the tea cup and said slowly: "
If Mrs. Liu is not crazy, she has an ulterior motive."
Of course, Mrs. Liu cannot be crazy about gains and losses, so the only possibility is that she wants to use Hongxun to achieve some purpose. As for what it is, it is unknown.
Guarjia nodded slightly, and then said: "But no matter what, she is willing to give away her child. Her courage and cruelty are beyond the reach of you and me."
Ling Ruo nodded and stopped talking. Because of this, all the concubines were a little absent-minded during the noon banquet. After the banquet was over, they finally gave the gifts they brought to Hongzhan and Hongxun, mostly a few
Things like the longevity lock and the safe jade pendant were given by Tong Jia.
The thing was quite new, it was two crystal roses. Someone curiously asked Tong Jia why she wanted to give such a gift. Tong Jia’s answer was simple and direct. She hoped that her two children would be as pure and transparent as crystal now and in the future.
It can also benefit the people, just like a rose, leaving fragrance on people.
Hearing Tong Jia's explanation, Ling Ruo shook her head slightly. Her action happened to be caught by Guar Jia's eyes, and she whispered: "What's wrong?"
Looking at that elegant and arrogant figure, Ling Ruo sighed and said: "Your Majesty Tong's intention is good, but how can a child who grew up in this deep palace be as clear as water? That is just a luxury hope."
"Noble Tong is not suitable for a place like the harem." This is what Guarjia said to Ling Ruo after being silent for a long time, and then said: "It's a pity that she has already entered the harem, and she will never be able to get rid of her in this life."
"We can help her as much as we can, at least... don't let her end up with hatred like Sister Wen." Maybe it's because I admire her pride, or maybe it's because her chess routine is like Wen Ruyan's.
So let Ling Ruo feel pity for her.
Guarjia patted her hand and said: "You, stop worrying about others, take care of yourself first. The Queen, the Liu family, and the Shumulu family, all of them are not easy to deal with; although it may be that dog bites dog now,
But I dare to say that their ultimate goal must be on you, because you are now the most favored one in the palace."
Ling Ruo pursed her lips toward Shu Mulu, who was sitting not far away, and said with a half-smile, "The one you deserve the most has become a wise man, but I'm still here."
Guarjia said solemnly: "The Shumulu family's sudden favor only lasts a few days, and the foundation is unstable. Therefore, in the eyes of the queen and others, you are still the most dangerous one. Don't be careless."
Ling Ruo smiled forgivingly, shook Guarjia's hand and said, "With my sister reminding me like this every day, it's hard for me to be careless even if I want to!"
Guarjia glanced at her and chuckled: "Looking at you like this, you seem to think that I am annoying me?"
"How dare I!" Ling Ruo was about to say a few more words when he looked up and saw Yinzhen and Nala standing up to leave. He quickly pulled Guarjia to stand up and see him off. After that, everyone dispersed. Ling Ruo
I deliberately glanced in the direction of Shu Mulu and found that her entire face had darkened.
On the way back to Wanfang He'an, Ling Ruo talked to Guarjia, who pushed her broken hair behind her ears, "It seems that Mr. Hui is suddenly very embarrassed by the problem that suddenly appeared in front of him!"
Ling Ruo shook her head and said: "No, what really makes her embarrassed is that she knew it might be a trap, but she was still forced to jump!"
Her words made Guarjia laugh, "Ms. Liu's move is really sinister. She asked the emperor to issue the order first. In this way, M.S. Shumulu didn't even have a chance to refuse. I guess she is going crazy with anger now."
"Although I know Mrs. Liu must have bad intentions, I still feel very happy when I see Mrs. Shumulu eating turtles!"
