After Hongli said goodbye again, Nala said falsely: "Hongshi, as your elder brother, you must take good care of Hongli in Fuzhou and don't let anything happen to him. Do you understand?"
Hong Shi was also sneering in his heart, but on his face he said seriously: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will protect Hongli well. Even if I have trouble myself, I will never let anyone hurt him in the slightest."
Ling Ruo was not in the mood to listen to their lies at all, and watched Hong Li follow Hong Shi out of the Meridian Gate with reluctance. Hong Li looked back from time to time. In order not to make Hong Li sad, Ling Ruo kept smiling.
No one knows that behind this smile are sore teeth.
After the two of them walked away, Nala looked back and sighed: "Oh, I don't know when I will come back after leaving."
Xiao Ningzi quickly took advantage of the situation and took over: "Master, don't worry, with two elder brothers going with us, the matter in Fuzhou will be settled soon."
"I hope so." Nala nodded, and when he was about to leave, he saw Ling Ruo and Guarjia still looking at the palace door, and asked one after another, "Aren't Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin going back?"
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, Guarjia said on her behalf: "It's okay to go back to the palace. I want to stay a little longer."
Nala's eyes turned, and he suddenly spotted a familiar figure among the palace servants who came with Ling Ruo. His eyes were slightly cold, and he walked over and said, "Sanfu, how come you can't even be polite when you meet your old master?"
Sanfu lowered his head and said without humility: "I have already saluted you just now, but the empress was just paying attention to the second elder brother, so she didn't see it."
Nala smiled gracefully and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so eloquent. Speaking of which, I feel a lot lonely without you and Jade by my side. How about, are you still used to being around Concubine Xi?"
Hearing Jade's name, Sanfu's pupils shrank, and his hands gradually clenched, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xi, I treat my slaves very well."
"You said before that I treat you well, but in the end you didn't abandon me?" He ran his fingers over the delicately painted distant mountain eyebrows and said, "This shows that I can't believe your words, but I don't know that you
Who will you follow next time you abandon your good master, Concubine Xi?"
Before Sanfu could speak, Ling Ruo had already spoken: "I don't have to worry about it, I believe that Sanfu will not betray me, because I have never killed Jade."
Nala's face turned cold, and then she smiled nonchalantly and said, "Since Concubine Xi has such confidence, just pretend that I haven't said anything. Xiao Ningzi, let's go."
"Hey!" Xiao Ningzi snorted at Sanfu, then supported Nala's arm and walked to Kunning Palace. After they disappeared, Sanfufang lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Master, for trusting me.
"
"You are from this palace. If I don't believe it, who can you believe? You don't have to take the Queen's words to heart." After saying this, Ling Ruohu picked up her skirt and ran towards the Yanchi Tower quickly.
The so-called Yanchi Tower refers to the Chonglou built on the platform of the Meridian Gate. Because the two wings of this tower protrude like a wild goose spreading its wings, it is named Yanchi Tower.
Whether it's Shui Xiu who has been following Ling Ruo for many years, Yang Hai or even San Fu who started serving Ling Ruo after entering the palace, they have never seen Ling Ruo look so anxious that she doesn't care about her manners, and they don't understand why she rushes so suddenly.
When they went up to the Yanchi Tower, only Guarjia realized something. After telling Sanfu and the others to wait where they were, he quickly followed up.
When they arrived at the Yanchi Tower, they saw Ling Ruo looking at something intently. Following her gaze, he could faintly see the imperial envoy's ceremonial carriage, as well as the sound of music and drums sending the imperial envoy out of the capital, and two figures were walking towards there.
.
In a vague sigh, Guarjia said: "You are still worried."
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "No, I just watched him leave with my own eyes; when he returns to Beijing in triumph, I will stand here and watch him enter the palace with my own eyes."
Guarjia faced the hot wind and said: "I believe that this day will come soon. By then, Hongli will be the prince of our Qing Dynasty."
"Whether it's Prince or Baylor, it's just a title. As long as he is safe, I have nothing to ask for." After Ling Ruo finished speaking, Guarjia said next: "Me too."
"Mo Yu came to the palace to see me yesterday and said that Yunxiang had sent his most popular people to escort Hongli along the way. In addition, I also wrote a letter to Li Wei. Zhejiang is not far from Fuzhou to see if he can send someone.
Follow me to Fuzhou to protect Hongli."
"You, my mother-in-law, really have thought of everything for him." Guarjia shook her head and said, "Seeing you like this, I suddenly felt glad that I didn't have a child, otherwise I would have to worry about other things besides Hongli.
One, but you will tire yourself to death."
Ling Ruo looked sideways at Guarjia, the bright red tassel dangled in her ears, "Looking at my sister, it seems that there is something else besides the jade pendant."
Guarjia lowered his head and smiled and said: "I don't have a disciple as capable as Li Wei, who can be promoted to the governor of Zhejiang. I only have a Qingke who has been under my sect for many years, and he is barely capable."
How could Ling Ruo not understand what Guarjia said, and said movedly: "Thank you very much, sister, for taking such good care of Hongli."
"What's there to say thank you for? If Sister Wen were here, she would definitely do the same thing." At this point, her expression dimmed and she sighed: "But Sister Wen is much more pitiful than the two of us. She...has no family.
reliable."
"Sister, you have forgotten that we are Sister Wen's family, and she has never left us. Therefore, I believe that she will protect Hongli and make him auspicious and turn disaster into good fortune."
Hongli didn't know that Ling Ruo had been standing on the city tower watching him. Thinking of leaving E Niang alone in the palace, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. When he arrived at Waijinshuiqiao, Prince Baylor only gave a faint look to the ministers who came to see him off.
After a few words, Hongshi seemed much more lively in comparison, greeting the ministers one by one with a suitable smile on his face.
Because this event was important, and Hongli and Hongshi had special status, there were many people who came to see them off, and all of them had high status. Among them, the highest status people were Yunxiang and Yunhu, and Yingge couldn't come either.
, but can only be ranked behind them.
After Hongshi called his eighth uncle, Yunsu said with a concerned look on his face: "Second brother, the trip to Fuzhou is not easy, so be careful."
Because there were so many people here, Hongshi didn't show any kindness to Yunzhen, so as not to spread it to Yinzhen's ears and cause more trouble. He only responded lightly and said: "Thank you, eighth uncle, for your concern."
, my nephew will be careful."
Yunhu knew what Hongshi was thinking, so he didn't agree with his reaction at all. Instead, he said more politely: "That's good. When I return in triumph one day, I will greet my second elder brother at Prince Lian's Mansion. Please also ask me."
Second elder brother will reward you when the time comes."
