"Do you really want to guess?" asked another woman with a beautiful face and graceful temperament. After receiving a positive answer, she slowly uttered three words, "Kunning Palace!"
These two people are none other than Guarjia and Ling Ruo. The reason why they are here is because Ling Ruo guessed that Shumulu would come here to look for Ruliu after he was released from the ban, so he came to take a look, and the result was as expected.
The smile on Guarjia's face froze, and she whispered: "You mean, she will really form an alliance with the queen?"
"Why not? I, Mrs. Liu and the concubines are her mortal enemies, and there is no room for relaxation; and if she wants to deal with us, it is not enough to rely on her own strength, she must rely on the strength of others. In this palace
Concubines and above, except
Besides my sister and I, the Liu family, and the Dai Jia family, there are only the queen and Yu concubine. Yu concubine pays little attention to the affairs in the palace, and is not very courageous and has no ambition. Obviously, she does not meet the requirements of the Shumulu family, so she only
The queen is left alone."
"Both of them have means and ambitions, and the most important thing is that they are both intolerable. If we let them join forces, we will suffer a lot, especially since the emperor is obsessed with the Shumulus family now."
Hearing the last sentence, Ling Ruo felt a sudden pain in her heart, but she suppressed the pain before it spread and said calmly: "So, we also need to join forces with others."
Guarjia's mind was sharp, and she guessed the person she was talking about after a moment's thought, "You mean the Liu family?"
"Yes, we have never had a bad relationship with the Liu family. There should be no problem in joining forces. Besides, now that the Shu Mulu family has come out, she is undoubtedly the one who is most worried. If I predict correctly, I am afraid that she will come looking for her soon.
us."
"In that case, let's just wait and see what happens." The two of them walked side by side and came to Linyuan Pond unknowingly. The spring was bright now, and the koi carp in the pond were swimming happily underwater, jumping out of the water from time to time.
, the fish tail brings up a long string of crystal water drops.
Guarjia pulled a willow branch and wrapped it around her fingertips, sighing: "Oh, sometimes it's really boring to think about life, but it only takes a few decades to fight for it, don't you know?
When you close your eyes, you can't take anything with you, so it's better to look at everything with more openness."
Ling Ruo stroked the smooth railing and said: "If everyone could think like this, there wouldn't be so many things in the world. In the mortal world, it is difficult to escape from the four words of love, hate, greed and hatred. For the sake of love, we will continue to fight.
When others fight, little do they know that in the end it will hurt others as well as themselves." After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "The same goes for me."
"No, you are more for self-protection. In the harem, kindness will only make you die without a burial place." Speaking of this, Guarjia smiled slightly and said: "So, I will sigh, but not
Just let me be manipulated by others, let alone become a stepping stone for others to rise to the top. I am just me, not anyone’s tool or target, and the same goes for you."
Ling Ruo nodded, looking at the calm lake that was broken from time to time, and said in a low voice for a long time: "We have no way out, we can only keep going. Sister, you must always stay with me, don't be like Sister Wen."
leave."
"No." After saying this, Guarjia suddenly said: "Speaking of which, since you told me about Shumulu today, I have never been able to figure out why the emperor cares so much about Shumulu.
"I know very well the emperor's temperament. He is cool, cold and resolute. There is no such word as "sloppy" in his dictionary. Why is he so abnormal in this matter?"
Ling Ruo tightened her grip on the cold railing under her palms and said with difficulty: "There is only one answer, the Emperor is in love with the Shumulu family."
Guarjia pulled Ling Ruo to squat down and dipped one of Ling Ruo's hands into the water, "How is it? Is it cold or warm?"
"Cold." Although it is April and the sun is shining, the water in the pool is still quite cold.
Guarjia let go of his hand and said: "The water in the pond is naturally cold for you now, but if you have been living in the water like these fish, not only will you not feel any coolness, you will even feel warm. Because you are used to it.
reached this temperature.”
Guarjia's words were not difficult to understand, and Ling Ruo could understand them, but she didn't understand how they were related to what she said before.
Guarjia saw her doubts and said: "Nalan Meier has been raised in the palace since she was a child. She and the emperor can be said to be childhood sweethearts. It is normal for the emperor to like her; and you entered the palace in the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign.
, until the emperor ascended the throne, it was a full nineteen years before you got a trace of the emperor's sincerity; but, it was only the two of you, even the most prosperous Nian family, Tong Jia
Li Luo, or the queen who has been with the emperor for the longest time, has never received a trace of sincerity. It can be said that the emperor is a person who is both affectionate and ruthless. Such a person will never fall in love with someone easily, but if you think about it,
It has been less than two years since Shumulu entered the palace, and she has been favored for even less time. Why should she be so beloved by the emperor that she has eyes that look like Nalan Meier's?"
The next moment, she sneered and said: "Tong Jia is so similar to Nalan Mei'er. It can be said that she was carved from the same mold. But when she made a mistake, the emperor did not show any mercy and drove her out of the palace directly. From then on, she never
I have never mentioned it again. So you said that the emperor likes Shu Mulu, and he became so capricious and sloppy because of his liking. I think it is impossible. There should be other reasons. As for what it is, I still want to think about it for a while.
Not coming out."
Ling Ruo had been disturbed by the Yinzhen incident before and could not calm down to analyze it. Now when Guarjia said it, he immediately felt that there was something wrong. Regarding the Shumulu incident, Yinzhen's behavior was indeed inconsistent with
There was a huge difference between the past and Yinzhen's contradictory attitude last night...
Ling Ruo took off the handkerchief and slowly wiped the water on her hands, and whispered: "Shu Mulu's Ama is just a small magistrate, not worth mentioning, so it cannot be because of her family background. She also has no heirs, and her appearance is worthy of the harem.
Among them, it can only be regarded as mediocre. What is it that makes her remembered by the emperor like this?"
She thought about it for a long time, but she still had no clue at all like Guarjia, but the more clueless she was, the more suspicious the matter was.
At the same time, Mrs. Liu in the Yongshou Palace was so angry that she almost went crazy when she found out that Mr. Shumulu was restored to noble status. She kept walking back and forth in the palace. If she didn't have a trace of rational restraint, she wished she could rush to Yinzhen and question him.
Why should the Shumulu family be released? Did they forget Hongxun’s death so quickly?
Haitang came in with tea and whispered: "Master, you have been gone for a long time. Please sit down and have a rest and have a sip of tea."
