When he turned around, he found Ru Liu, who had changed into a new set of clothes, standing behind him. His hair was still wet and dripping with water.
Seeing Ruliu, Mrs. Shumulu showed a smile. When she was about to take Ruliu's hand, the latter put her hand behind her back and said uneasily: "I feel that I still smell on my body. I'd better wash it again."
Before Ms. Shumulu could speak, the palace maid behind Ruliu had already pulled her and said: "Sister Ruliu, you have been washing for a long time just now, and your whole body is red. If you wash again, your skin will be broken."
Ru Liu smelled her body vigorously, shook her head repeatedly and said: "If you don't wash away the smell, it will affect the master. Go and prepare water quickly. I want to wash it again."
"Ruliu!" Regardless of Ruliu's struggle, Mrs. Shumulu took her hand from behind and said, "No, you don't stink at all now. Don't wash it again."
"No, this slave has obviously smelled it..." Ru Liu kept trying to take his hand out of Shu Mulu's palm, "Master, please stay away, don't let me inhale you."
Shu Mulu comforted him: "Ru Liu, believe me, there is no smell anymore. You can smell it because you think you are still smelly and not clean. That is an illusion."
"Is it really not smelly?" Ruliu kept smelling it, fearing that Mr. Shumulu was lying to himself.
Mr. Shumulu understood Ruliu's mood and said with absolute certainty: "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask other people if they think it smells bad."
The palace maid who just spoke said cleverly: "Sister Ruliu, not only do you not smell bad, you also smell very good." Others also agreed. Their words made Ruliu feel relieved, and she said with relief: "It's good that you don't smell bad anymore.
"
Shumulu stroked Ruliu's thin cheek and said, "Don't think about the past. I won't let you suffer in the future. As for the person who harmed you, I won't make it easy for her."
"Master." Ru Liu looked at Shu Mulu with red eyes. Before she burst into tears, Shu Mulu said, "Okay, please accompany me to Kunning Palace first."
Ruliu was slightly surprised and said in amazement: "Master wants to see the queen? You and she are not..."
"I know, but this time the emperor is willing to issue an order to restore my position because she made suggestions to the emperor, and I have to go there. In addition, I also want to know why she wants to help me."
The latter was the main reason. When she learned from Su Peisheng that it was Na La who asked for love, she always had doubts in her mind. She knew very well that Na La was definitely not a good person, and she was at odds with her.
She was so embarrassed that she had no reason to plead for herself.
Ruliu nodded, "Yes, I will help you over."
Shu Mulu had just walked a few steps when she suddenly stopped, swept around the flowers and plants that were blooming, and said to the court servants who were standing there respectfully: "Pick a few pots of the best peonies and send them to your concubine, and tell me that I
To calm her down, I would also like to thank her for taking care of Ruliu. I will remember this 'favor' for the rest of my life."
It was obvious that there was always a smile between her brows and eyes, but the palace man shuddered, lowered his head deeply, and did not dare to look at her, and did not dare to raise his head until she was far away.
All the way to Kunning Palace, the eunuch guarding the palace told her that Nala had gone fishing in Linyuan Pond and had not returned yet, and asked if she wanted to wait here. Shumulu thought for a while and said, "No, I'll go to Linyuan Pond."
Let’s look for the queen.”
It was quite a long journey from Kunning Palace to Linyuan Pond. After passing through the forest where no more plum blossoms could be seen, I saw a figure wearing light golden clothes sitting by the lake, with an eunuch standing next to him.
In the side face, Shumulu recognized Xiao Ningzi, who had always stayed close to Nala. In this way, the identity of that figure was revealed.
When Shu Mulu was about to walk over, Ruliu pulled her clothes and whispered: "Master, will the queen not want to see you?"
"If she didn't want to see me, she wouldn't have asked the emperor to let me out." After saying this, Mrs. Shumulu walked over. As the distance got closer, her footsteps alerted the little girl standing by the lake with her hands down.
Ning Zi raised his head and looked over here. After seeing clearly, he turned slightly and called out: "Hui Gui is lucky."
Mrs. Shumulu nodded, stood a few steps away, and then bowed deeply to the motionless figure, "I, my concubine, see you, the empress, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity."
The shore was quiet, except for a group of orioles flying up from the willow trees, leaving a sweet chirp in the air. In such silence, Mr. Shumulus remained in a half-crouched posture.
After a long time, a calm voice sounded, "Are you Hui Gui?"
Mrs. Shumulu trembled and said quickly: "I am my concubine. I am here to pay my respects to the empress."
After another period of silence, Nala's voice came again, "Get up and come to me."
"Yes." With Ruliu's support, Shumulu stood up and came to Nala's side. At a glance, Nala's makeup was as delicate and elegant as ever, hiding the traces left by the years very well. In her hands
Holding on to a long fishing rod, the fishing line quietly hangs from the other end into the water.
When she was quietly sizing up Nala, Nala was also sizing her up, "Well, I haven't seen him for a while, but he looks pretty good and is in good spirits."
"Thank you for your concern." After saying this, Mrs. Shumulu knelt down and said, "I am here today. In addition to greeting you, I am also here to express my gratitude. If not for your mercy, I would still be under house arrest."
There is no daylight in Shuiyixuan."
Nala smiled slightly and said: "Get up. Although I have some misunderstandings with you, I still can't bear to see you wasting your great youth, so I spoke kindly to you in front of the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor gave me some face.
, no rejection.”
Shumulus was silent. The misunderstanding between her and Nala could not be resolved with just one sentence. From the moment she stopped drinking the medicine sent by Dujuan, she officially fell out with Nala, so Nala would
This was beyond her expectation.
Nala glanced behind her and said with a smile: "Hui Gui moved very quickly. In just a short time, Ruliu was retrieved. It seems that you have met the concubine."
Shumulu knew that since Concubine Xi came to power, although the Nala family did not interfere with the affairs of the harem on the surface, they had always sent people to keep an eye on the affairs of the harem in private. The slightest disturbance in the palace would be reported to her ears, so for her
It’s not surprising to know that Cheng concubine is as difficult as Liu, “I have something I don’t know whether to ask or not.”
A gust of wind blew across the lake. Nala narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you have anything to say, Master Hui, just say it."
"I want to know why the queen wants to help me." After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked this question, and Nala was not surprised by this. It was obviously already expected. If Shumulu didn't
