Xiao Ningzi fell silent after saying this. After a while, Nala said again: "Fortunately, I never expected that day, but..." She suppressed her sad thoughts and changed the topic:
"The emperor's intention in sending Hongshi to Fuzhou this time makes me worried. I don't know why the emperor sent two elder brothers to go with him at once, and Hongshi knows nothing about the household affairs."
Xiao Ningzi said with a little surprise: "Master, could it be that the emperor saw through our plan and made this arrangement?"
Nala shook his head and said: "If this is true, then the emperor will not come to see me today. I guess that the emperor is at most suspicious and has no clue about the specific matter."
Xiao Ningzi was still a little worried, "But this will be disadvantageous to us after all. Master, do you want to call the second elder brother into the palace to ask him face to face? Besides, since things have changed, the original plan must also change."
"Of course the plan has to change, but it doesn't stop there. Although the emperor said that Hongshi will definitely come back safely, Fuzhou is already in chaos, like hell. No one can predict the outcome. If Hongshi dies, I
The arrangements and thoughts that I have put in over the years have all gone to waste. Just as you advised me before, you can no longer place all your hopes on Hongshi just in case. So, from now on, keep a close eye on Shumulu's fetus.
, I must carry you until October before giving birth."
Naturally, Xiao Ningzi had no objection to Nala's words, but he also said: "Master, what if Hui Gui is born with a problem?"
Nala's eyes became extremely cold because of these words, and she said coldly: "She can only give birth to my brother!"
Xiao Ningzi trembled and said in disbelief: "Master said that if Mr. Shumulu has a child, we will..."
"Now that you know it, why are you asking me what to do?" Nala glanced at Xiao Ningzi, who lowered his head, and said: "The matter in Fuzhou will not take too long, and there will be results in two or three months at most. If
If Hongshi is really dead, then the one in Shumulu's belly is my only choice, and there is no room for error; even if Hongshi is not dead, I still want another brother, do you understand?"
Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to raise her head and only replied in a low voice: "I understand, I will let others make arrangements."
No one can guarantee whether the child in the belly is a boy or a girl. Even if a doctor diagnoses the baby after he is a month old, he can only say that he is extremely sure, but no one dares to say that it is 100%. The only way is to wait until the fruit is ripe.
Sure. But now that Nala is saying this, it is naturally not because she is good at calculations, but because she has decided that if there is a problem, she will replace Tao Zong with her luggage, and she must get an elder brother.
In response to Xiao Ningzi's words, Nala waved his hand and said, "No need, just find an opportunity to tell Yingge about this matter, and he will naturally take care of it."
"Slave, I obey." Xiao Ningzi agreed softly. Seeing that Nala stopped talking, he added, "Master, don't worry, you will definitely get what you want."
"You got what you wanted?" Nala smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "These four words are still early. By the way, you now go to the honorary room to get your waist card and leave the palace. First, go to Yingge to explain to me.
After telling Hongshi about it, I asked Hongshi to come in and see me, and I asked him personally."
It was the hottest time of the day. Not to mention people, even the summer cicada sitting on the tree couldn't stand the heat and screamed desperately. But how could Xiao Ningzi dare not obey what La Shi said, or even dare to
There is no hint of displeasure at all.
At the same time that Xiao Ningzi left the palace, Si Xi also came to Chengqian Palace according to Ling Ruo's words. After being given a seat, Ling Ruo said: "I will not beat around the bush with Eunuch Xi. I specially invited you here because I want to ask you a question."
I want to ask you about the situation in the court today. Why did the emperor let Hongli and Hongshi serve as imperial envoys? There may not be anyone in the court who is more suitable than the two of them."
Because of Mo'er's relationship, Sixi has always been close to Chengqian Palace. When Ling Ruo asked this question, he did not hide it and told everything about today's morning meeting. Then he said: "The emperor also saw that all the adults recommended Si Age.
, and the second elder brother took the initiative to ask for help, so we finally decided to let the two elder brothers serve as imperial envoys together. But don’t worry, the emperor will send a thousand sergeants to guard along the way to ensure the safety of the two elder brothers."
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "Hi, Eunuch, although I have never seen the situation in Fuzhou with my own eyes, I know a thing or two from the emperor's mouth. A thousand sergeants can't guarantee the safety of my two elder brothers. This point, based on the emperor's character,
I shouldn’t have thought that, in a certain sense, you could even send them to die. Is the Emperor really not worried at all?”
Whether it was the recommendation from the ministers or Hongshi's voluntary invitation, she felt something was wrong. Hongli had only been in court for a long time, and it was impossible for him to be recognized by so many ministers. They felt that he could take on such an important task as the imperial envoy to Fuzhou;
Hongshi... It was unbelievable that he would ask to go to such a dangerous place on his own initiative, so she must try to find out.
"This..." Sixi had heard Yinzhen's real plan clearly before, but no matter how close he was to Concubine Xi, he was always the emperor's slave and could not tell Concubine Xi anything. Moreover, if he provoked
Obviously, if Concubine Xi knew that the emperor intended to use Si Age as a bait, she would probably have knots in her heart. Even if the emperor had made perfect arrangements, it might not be able to be eliminated.
The hesitation on Si Xi's face was noticed by Ling Ruo, and she said again: "Eunuch Xi, if you know anything, you can still tell me, otherwise I will always be uneasy."
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. It's not because I refuse to tell you the truth, but there are some things that, as a slave, it's really inconvenient for me to tell you. But there is one thing that I can tell you." Sixi thought about it and said, "For this matter, I
After going to court, Prince Yi went to the South Study Room to ask for help.
When he met the emperor, he was very worried at the time, but after a secret conversation with the emperor, Prince Yi agreed with the emperor's arrangement and believed that the fourth elder brother would not be in danger. Prince Yi had always cared about the fourth elder brother. Since he also agreed, then
Your Majesty, you should feel at ease."
Ling Ruo was slightly startled and said, "Is this true?"
"How could a slave lie to the empress?" As soon as Si Xi finished speaking, Shui Yue interjected: "Eunuch Xi, we have already talked about this. You might as well tell the contents of the secret conversation between the emperor and Prince Yi, so as to save us the trouble.
Just guessing here."
"Miss Shuiyue, please forgive me. It's not that I'm trying to betray you, but I really have something to say..." Before Si Xi could finish speaking, Ling Ruo had already said: "I understand the difficulty of Eunuch Xi, Eunuch Xi can tell me this."
, it’s already very rare.”
"It's good that your Majesty understands. Your Majesty has always valued Fourth Elder Brother. If he had not been fully prepared, Your Majesty would not have sent Fourth Elder Brother to Fuzhou, so Your Majesty can rest assured." After saying this, Sixi stood up and said, "If you don't have anything else, Your Majesty
I have told you that I have to go back to the Yangxin Hall to do some work, so I will take my leave first."
