Not only was the palace maid anxious, Shumulu was also anxious. She always thought that Yinzhen made her the imperial concubine because she loved Niu Hulu, but judging from what the palace maid meant, it seemed that she had another hidden agenda.
"Okay, okay, let me tell you. I heard that it was because the fourth elder brother was killed in Fuzhou, and the emperor was promoted to the position of Concubine Xi out of guilt."
The next moment, another palace maid exclaimed: "What? Brother Si is dead? How could this happen?"
"I don't know about this. I heard it from others, but it should be true. Otherwise, how could the emperor promote the position of Concubine Xi for no reason? She is the imperial concubine, equivalent to the deputy concubine. Since the emperor ascended the throne,
, I have never made an imperial concubine!" The palace maid with a slightly shrill voice revealed a strong sense of envy.
"What about the deputy empress? You can't exchange for the fourth elder brother. Concubine Xi loves the fourth elder brother so much that if she knows that the fourth elder brother is dead, she will be heartbroken to death. By the way, didn't the emperor send many people to protect the fourth elder brother?
Why does something happen again? How is the second elder brother?"
"I heard that an accident occurred when the second elder brother and the fourth elder brother went to a place called Lianjiang County together. The second elder brother was lucky. Although he was seriously injured, he escaped. The fourth elder brother was not so lucky. No one
Killed and burned to charcoal!" After saying this, the palace maid clicked her tongue several times.
The palace maid who spoke last said in a low voice: "My Fourth Brother was a very good person. It's a pity that he died like this."
"No matter what, it's not our turn anyway. By the way, I still have to go to the clothing bureau to pick up some clothes. You can go with me."
Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Mrs. Shumulu let out a sigh of relief and slowly loosened her hand holding Ruliu. Unexpectedly, I really never expected that this trip to the Royal Garden would yield such a big harvest.
Fourth elder brother, actually... died?
After being frightened, her first feeling was to laugh. God was so wise that Niu Hulu lost her only son. She would be helpless and lonely for the rest of her life.
This is the first good news she has heard since Ama died, "Ru Liu, did you hear it? Niu Hulu's son is dead. He died in Fuzhou."
Ru Liu is still in shock. Hearing Shu Mulu's words, he said numbly: "Yes, I heard it. Master, is Fourth Brother really dead?"
Mrs. Shumulu raised her lips and said: "It's very clear, otherwise why would the emperor suddenly make Niu Hulu the imperial concubine? I just don't know where the two maids heard about it." If she wasn't afraid of disturbing others, she would have to take good care of her.
Laughing loudly, I haven't been so happy for a long time. As I said this, a thought suddenly came to my mind, "Ru Liu, you said that if Concubine Xi knew that her position as imperial concubine was obtained with the life of her son, she would
What will happen?
Ru Liu's body was shaken, and he looked at Shu Mulu and said: "Master, do you want to tell Concubine Xi about this matter? No, this matter has not been clarified yet, what if it is just nonsense from those palace people, wouldn't it be bad?
"
Ru Liu's words made Mr. Shumulu hesitate for a moment, but he quickly said: "Even if it is true or false, it has nothing to do with me. It is the two palace ladies who are making trouble and gossiping about nothing. I was deceived by them, and I am worried about us."
This is why Concubine Xi made the mistake, not intentionally."
"Actually, even if the master doesn't say anything about this matter, it will reach the ears of Concubine Xi sooner or later. Why should the master be in such a hurry!" Ru Liu tried to persuade Mr. Shu Mulu to give up this idea, but Mr. Shu Mulu had been holding it in for so long and finally found it.
When given the opportunity, how could he give up, "No, I'm really in a hurry, Ru Liu, these days Xi
I have never forgotten how my concubine framed me and my family. It was she who caused my family to be ruined, and it was she who made me so miserable. If I can’t avenge this with my own hands, how will I have the face to see Amma and Ama after I die?
Mom, even if what happened this time is wrong and Fourth Brother is not dead, at least she can feel the pain of losing a loved one."
Seeing that Mr. Shu Mulu was talking about this, Ru Liu could say nothing more. He nodded and supported Mr. Shu Mulu all the way to Chengqian Palace.
The arrival of the Shu Mulu clan shocked everyone in the Chengqian Palace. Yang Hai got the report from the young eunuch guarding the palace gate and quickly came to the palace and bowed to Ling Ruo who was explaining the matter: "Master, the Shu Mulu clan from Shui Yixuan is here.
.”
"She?" Ling Ruo suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes full of surprise, "What is she here for?"
Yang Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know. She only said that she wanted to see the master for something."
Ling Ruo knew very well how deep the feud between Shu Mulu and herself was. Although there was no evidence to prove that she was responsible for Shu Mulu Gongming's incident, Shu Mulu should have guessed it. She should hate herself in her heart, so why would she bother to do so?
Could it be that Yinzhen came running here because of Yinzhen’s decree to make her the imperial concubine?
Thinking like this, Ling Ruo raised her chin and said, "Let her come in."
"Hey!" Soon after Yang Hai retreated, he brought in Shu Mulu, who had a swollen belly. The latter walked into the hall with his head lowered, put his hands on his sides and knelt down and said, "I have seen Concubine Xi, may you be blessed!
"
"Please get up." Ling Ruo raised her hand slightly and said calmly: "I really didn't expect that the lady would come to Chengqian Palace. I thought that the lady didn't want to see me."
Shu Mulu gave a weak smile and said: "I'm just joking. Although I have some misunderstandings with you, it's just a trivial matter. It's not as serious as not wanting to see it. It's just that I was weak and cold before, and my fetal energy was unstable. Doctor Xu explained it
He said that he wanted to rest in peace and not go to the ground, so he kept coming to pay his respects to the queen."
Ling Ruo's eyes swept across his abdomen and said calmly: "From what I heard, Madam, the dragon fetus is now stable?"
"I think it's because the month is getting older. It's much better than before. I saw that the weather is nice today, so I came over to pay my respects to the queen. I hope the queen doesn't mind that I'm being rude."
"What are you talking about, Madam? You came to see me, it's too late for me to be happy, and there's no way it would be too rude." With that said, she said to An'er who came in with tea: "Mr. Hui.
How can you drink tea when you are pregnant? Go and get a cup of goat's milk, remember to keep it warm."
Mrs. Shumulu said with a moved face: "Thank you very much, Madam, for being so attentive."
"You are pregnant with a dragon fetus now, so you should be more careful." The two of them said insincere words while laughing happily.
Shu Mulu said with a smile: "I am here to pay my respects to the empress, and to congratulate the empress on her promotion to the imperial concubine. The empress is the first imperial concubine that the emperor enthroned, so it is really gratifying and congratulatory."
"I really deserve the emperor's kindness. However, the emperor's holy will has been decided and I can't refuse. I can only accept it with shame." Ling Ruo said calmly. She knew very well that with the relationship between Shu Mulu and herself,
During the holidays, I would never sincerely congratulate myself, there must be other purposes.
