Jingu was also sighing. This time, she had obviously taken advantage of the right time, place and people, because even Concubine Xi, who was always the most eloquent in front of the emperor, was on the master's side. She thought that Shumulu would not be able to escape this disaster. Unexpectedly
In the middle of the journey, Yushan came and took the charge of murdering the seventh elder brother, allowing the Shumulu family to escape.
Although he was unhappy, in the face of Liu's anger, he still persuaded: "Actually, the emperor may not necessarily be partial to Shu Mulu. After all, Yushan insisted that it was her who did it, and what she said was fair. The emperor...
"
"What's the matter with the Emperor?" Madam Liu glared at her and said, "At that time, Concubine Xi moved all the fragrances out. Wouldn't the Emperor understand? She simply wanted to spare Shumulu's life." After that, she said angrily:
"I strangled my own son to death with my own hands, but in the end, I just got rid of an insignificant girl, and the Shumulu family is still alive and well. How can I be willing to do so!"
"My servant knows that the master is not willing to give in, but there is nothing we can do about it. Didn't you see that the emperor was already unhappy just now? I dare to say that if you mention this matter to the emperor again, he will definitely be suspicious of you."
Mrs. Liu sat down upset and said: "I don't know, so I didn't continue just now. But now, I am really unwilling to accept this result. The county king is just an honor after death. In addition to being nicer,
It’s of no use, it’s empty but not real.”
Haitang put the brewed tea in Liu's hand and said softly: "In fact, Master, you can think about it from another angle. Although Shu Mululu is alive, she became a commoner and was imprisoned in Shuiyixuan. She is only one more dead person.
It's just a tone of voice, it can't threaten the master at all."
"No, I have always felt that the matter with the Shu Mulu family will not end here." Mrs. Liu casually opened the tea cover on the cup and watched the tea mist rising, "especially after seeing the emperor's attitude towards her.
Later, even more... Well, in short, this time it was really half the result with twice the result."
"Not necessarily!" Jin Gu suddenly uttered these two words. After Mrs. Liu looked over, she said solemnly: "Although the emperor spared her life, we may not be able to do anything to her."
Mrs. Liu became energetic and quickly asked: "What's the solution? Jin Gu, tell me quickly."
"Master, please don't forget that Mrs. Shumulu is no longer a noble person. In other words, her current status is similar to that of a palace maid, or worse than a palace maid. In the palace, the death of several palace maids and eunuchs is never a new thing.
The emperor will not go to war for a commoner."
Mrs. Liu understood what Jin Gu meant. She lowered her head and stared at the cold light on the tip of the armor and said, "You mean, let Mr. Shu Mulu die silently?"
Jin Gu nodded and said: "Yes, what the master cares about is only the life or death of Shu Mulu. As for how she died, that is a secondary matter."
Mrs. Liu was quite moved by Jin Gu's suggestion, but she was still worried, "Doing this... I'm afraid it will make the Emperor suspicious of me. If this happens, the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Of course we can't do it now. We have to wait for the emperor to forget about this matter before we can take action. But I believe that I won't wait too long. After all, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, so how can he specifically remember the Shumulu family?"
"That's all we can do now." Madam Liu nodded and said angrily: "In addition to Shu Mulu, the palace maid named Ruliu next to her must also be eliminated. That dead girl dared to rely on her sharp teeth and sharp mouth.
To talk back to me is to be reckless."
The Liu family wants to get rid of the Shumulu family and avoid future troubles; the Shumulu family wants to make a comeback and seek revenge on the Liu family; they are already incompatible with each other, and they don't know who will be the winner in the end.
As for Ling Ruo, she was returning to Chengqian Palace with the Guarjia family. It was the peak of spring at that time, and the two cherry blossom trees in the courtyard were in full bloom, with pink petals falling from the treetops from time to time.
, adding a dreamlike beauty to the palace.
Guarjia was greedy for the beauty of the cherry blossoms and stood in the courtyard unwilling to leave. Seeing this, Ling Ruo simply asked someone to bring the tea to the stone table in the courtyard, and then put a few brocade cushions on the stone bench.
After Ling Ruo sat down, she saw Guarjia still standing there and couldn't help but smile: "It's not like there are no cherry blossom trees in this palace, so why does my sister seem to like these two trees so much?"
Guarjia came back to her senses, smiled, walked to Ling Ruo and sat down and said, "Although there are cherry blossoms everywhere, only these two of yours were transplanted from the dormitory. Every time I see them, I will
When I think of the days in the dormitory, I always feel very nostalgic."
"If sister likes it, I will ask someone to move to your place tomorrow." Ling Ruo never had any reservations about the Gualjia family.
"No, I can come to your place anytime I want. There's no need to mobilize so much. Besides, if the trees are moved to my side, they may not bloom as well as they do now. I don't want to see these two trees die."
After rejecting Ling Ruo's kindness, Guarjia took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, let's get back to the topic. What do you think about the seventh elder brother? Don't tell me that you really believe that Yushan killed him.
Seventh Brother."
Ling Ruo stretched out her hand, caught a cherry blossom petal that had just fallen, and said calmly: "I said, today's Yushan is just like the fragrance of the past, she lost her life for something she never did."
"I think so too, but it's a pity that the emperor doesn't believe it." When saying this, Guarjia felt helpless, "Originally, this is the best time to get rid of Shumulu."
"Your Majesty may not believe it, but firstly, Yushan has confessed her crime; secondly, Mrs. Liu's reason for saying that Mr. Shumulu harmed the Seventh Brother is not very tenable." At this point, a trace of suspicion dyed his eyebrows.
, "Shu Mulu is not a brainless person, even if she hates Liu
He will not take it out on his seventh elder brother. The emperor does not have many heirs, so he is very important to his two newly born elder brothers. Harming the seventh elder brother is equivalent to putting a rope around his own neck, let alone the seventh elder brother.
He is already her child in name. Harming him would do more harm than good."
"When you say that, I feel the same way, but if it's not Yushan or Shumulu, then who else could it be?" After contemplating for a while, a solemn look gradually appeared on Guarjia's face, and she held it in her hand.
I don’t drink any more tea.
Ling Ruo noticed something strange about her and said, "What is sister thinking about?"
Mr. Guarjia did not answer her immediately. After a while, he slowly said: "I was wondering whether it was true that Mr. Liu strangled the seventh elder brother to death as Mr. Shumulu said."
This idea has not never appeared in Ling Ruo's mind, but it was quickly rejected by her. She is also a mother-in-law and knows what a child means to a mother. She is willing to give up her life for Hongli.
