When An'er brought the goat's milk, Shumulu took a sip and praised: "The milk has a rich aroma, a mellow taste, and just the right amount of warmth. It's really good. It tastes better than what I sent to my concubine."
"
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "They are all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no difference. But if you really feel like this, I will have some sent to you later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying this, Mrs. Shumulu held the goat's milk cup and said, "When I came here just now, I heard something sensational in the imperial garden. I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Oh, what is it?" Ling Ruo's casual expression immediately turned solemn and surprised when she heard the next words of Mr. Shu Mulu."
Shu Mulu said hesitantly: "It's about Fourth Elder Brother."
Ling Ruo put the tea cup he was about to drink aside and said, "Hongli? What's wrong with him?"
Shu Mulu desperately suppressed the pride and joy in her heart, and said slowly: "I heard that the fourth elder brother was harmed in Fuzhou, and now..."
Ling Ruo trembled, stared at Shu Mulu and asked, "How is it already?"
"Already..." Mr. Shu Mulu looked at her, sighed deliberately, and said, "Already passed away."
Her four delicate words sounded like thunder in Ling Ruo's ears. She couldn't believe it. After a long while, she said: "You...what did you say? Say it again!"
Shu Mululu looked at Ling Ruo's face that turned pale in an instant without blinking an eye, and said clearly every word: "I said that the fourth elder brother has passed away."
Before Ling Ruo could speak, Shui Xiu had already said categorically: "It's impossible. The emperor has already said that the situation in Fuzhou has been stabilized and he will soon summon the Fourth Brother back to Beijing. How could he suddenly pass away? Please stop talking nonsense here.
.”
Shu Mulu said with a sad face: "I also hope this is nonsense, but the two palace men in the imperial garden said that they have noses and eyes, which makes people have to believe it, otherwise I would not mention this matter in front of the empress. In fact,
The Emperor knows best whether this is true or not, and you will know as soon as your Majesty asks."
"No, Hongli will be fine!" Ling Ruo stood up and murmured the same words, swaying slightly and looking like she might fall down at any time.
Seeing Ling Ruo like this, Shui Xiu and Yang Hai's hearts suddenly rose. Everyone knew that the fourth elder brother was Ling Ruo's lifeblood. Last time the fourth elder brother was poisoned, the master was already going crazy. If the fourth elder brother this time
Really... they couldn't imagine what would happen.
Yang Hai motioned to Shui Xiu to help Ling Ruo, and he said to Shu Mulu: "Although the lady has been deposed as a commoner, she was still a noble before. How can she be so ignorant, just listening to two palace men gossiping?
I believe it. Si elder brother if it is true
Something happened, why didn't my mother-in-law know about it, but the two palace men knew about it first?" With an increasingly ugly face, Shu Mulu said: "If you just want to talk about this matter, please come back, this kind of thing
It’s okay not to listen to things that come out of nowhere.”
Shu Mulu was secretly annoyed. Yang Hai was just a lowly slave. He actually dared to talk to her like this. He was simply disrespectful. Huh, let him be proud for a few more days. If the fourth brother is really dead, look at this Cheng Qian
Gong still burst into tears.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Shumulu stood up holding Ruliu's hand and said: "I also have good intentions. Since both the empress and Eunuch Yang think that I am troublesome, just treat it as if I didn't say it, but just follow my words, so
For important matters, even if there is only a slight possibility, we should ask clearly, do you think so, my dear?"
Shui Xiu was very angry when she saw Ling Ruo's lost look. Now when she heard what Shu Mulu said, she became even more angry. She said with a bad face: "My master's matter, I don't bother you, I'd better go back."
Take good care of the fetus and don’t worry about it, otherwise the baby will be in trouble if it gets tired."
After being choked by her words, Mrs. Shumulu's face darkened, and she said with a cold smile: "Every one of the ladies in the palace is so eloquent that they even forget their own identity. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority."
Shui Xiupi smiled and said: "This slave remembers her identity very well. She is the steward aunt beside the master. She was originally the eighth rank. She was promoted to the seventh rank by the master. If you want to say that there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, I will forgive you for asking.
In other words, how good is your wife now?"
Seeing that she spoke so rudely, Protector Ru Liu was eager and blurted out: "Although my wife has no status now, she is carrying a real dragon fetus in her belly. As a palace maid of the seventh rank, my wife said that you
"There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, what's wrong with that?"
Shui Xiu was annoyed that Mr. Shu Mulu said for no reason that the fourth elder brother had passed away, which made his master uneasy. So when he heard Ru Liu's words, he retorted unceremoniously: "The dragon fetus should be respected, but if the person who is pregnant with the dragon fetus
If you don’t maintain your identity and always do things you shouldn’t do, then no wonder others are disrespectful!”
How could Shumulu not understand Shui Xiu's words of scolding and scolding Huai? If Ling Ruo said this, she would have no choice but to endure it even if she was unhappy because of her status. But now it is Shui Xiu who is saying this, a humble person.
Palace maid, how can she endure it?
"Shui Xiu, even though you are a palace servant next to Concubine Xi, you should also know what is right. I told Concubine Xi this out of kindness. It's fine that you don't appreciate it, but you still want to spit on me.
What's the point of slandering me?!"
Shui Xiu said coldly: "I'm just telling the truth. I haven't slandered anyone. As for spitting blood, I can't afford it!"
"You..." Before Mrs. Shumulu could say anything more, a cold shout suddenly sounded in her ears, but it was Ling Ruo. She stared at them with a downcast face, "Have you had enough arguing?"
Seeing that Ling Ruo was angry, Shui Xiu quickly lowered her head. Seeing her like this, Shu Mulu's eyes flashed with joy, and her face said hypocritically: "I'm sorry, I don't want to do something so harmful as arguing with a palace maid*
It is a fair thing, but the water show is too much, and I am forced to use my talent..."
"Did I ask you this?" After interrupting Mrs. Shu Mulu's words rudely, Ling Ruo broke away from Shui Xiu's support, walked step by step in front of Mrs. Shu Mulu, and said word by word: "I ask you,
You said that you heard two palace servants in the imperial garden saying something happened to Hongli in Fuzhou, is that true?"
She didn't dare to say the word "die", nor did she dare to think that she couldn't lose Hongli, absolutely not!
For some reason, facing Ling Ruo's eyes, Mrs. Shumulu felt a little frightened and had an urge to leave, but it was just a momentary impulse. She came here just to see Mrs. Niu Hulu die because of Hongli.
And the heartbroken look was about to be seen now, how could she leave; on the contrary, she had to open her eyes to see clearly, and never miss such a wonderful moment.
