Yinzhen waited for a long time, but there was no reply from Shu Mulu. He said, "I know this is very difficult for you, but this is the only way to get the best of both worlds. I hope you can agree."
"I know." Shu Mulu said these four words with difficulty, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Does the emperor really want my concubine to do this?"
"Yes." Yinzhen held her cold hand and said warmly: "As long as you are willing to understand the general situation, agree to my request, and not make this matter a big deal, I will treat you well in the future, even if you are no longer able to have children, I will never
I won’t treat you badly, I can promise you this!”
Shu Mulu said with a sad expression: "But what I have lost is a fully formed child and the qualification to be a mother in the future. Your Majesty said this. Don't you think it is cruel to me?"
Yinzhen sighed heavily, held Shu Mulu's hand and said: "I know, but if you agree, I will remember your kindness in the future and will never treat you badly; I know that you have always wanted to stay by my side.
Isn't it just right now?" After taking a deep look at Shu Mulu, he said again: "You are a smart person and you should know what kind of choice is best for you."
Shumulu is a smart person, so she understands that when it comes to this job, she has only one choice, which is to do what Yinzhen wants. Otherwise, even if Niu Hulu is really made to suffer a little, she herself will not be able to do it in the harem.
If there is no longer any place to stand, and if Yinzhen is completely offended, then the gain is really not worth the loss.
As long as she keeps the green hills, she won't be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as she can continue to stay in the palace, she will definitely have the opportunity to let the Niu Hulu family die without a burial place to repay today's hatred.
Thinking of this, she twitched her lips and said with difficulty: "Yes, I understand that I am the emperor's concubine, so I must not embarrass the emperor. I will keep this matter secret and tell everyone that I am the concubine."
I accidentally injured my abdomen and caused a miscarriage." When she said this, her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was trembling, "And from now on, I will be respectful to the imperial concubine and will definitely not dare to have a trace of jealousy."
Her words made Yinzhen breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Shumulu family would continue to make trouble at all costs. By then, although he could save Ling Ruo at all costs, he would still make her hurt. At this moment, Ling Ruo was already heartbroken.
If she dies, how can I bear to cause her more injuries?
However, Shu Mulu's title also reminded Yinzhen, the imperial concubine... He wanted to make Lingruo the imperial concubine to make up for her pain of losing Hongli, but now that Lingruo knew about Hongli, he definitely would not
No matter how interested he was in accepting the canonization, coupled with the miscarriage of the Shumulu family, the canonization had obviously become inappropriate.
Just when Yinzhen was deep in thought and silent, Mrs. Shumulu's mind was also racing like a wheel. Naturally, she didn't mention the word "imperial concubine" for no reason just now, but deliberately used it to remind Yinzhen that the canonization of the imperial concubine was here.
Under such circumstances, it is inappropriate. If the canonization is forced, many people will inevitably criticize him.
"Concubine Xi..." Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's stop the matter of canonizing the imperial concubine, and don't mention it again in the future. During this period, you have been able to have a healthy life. When you are out of confinement, I will immediately
You are a concubine."
"Yes, I will listen to the emperor and take a good rest." Shumulu responded obediently, and Yinzhen left Shuiyixuan after comforting her for a few more words.
After Ruliu came in, Mrs. Shumulu closed her eyes and said a little tiredly: "Ruliu, tell the people below later that my miscarriage should not be related to Concubine Xi again. If you mention it, just say it's me.
I accidentally injured myself and got a fetal infection."
"Master..." Ru Liu opened her eyes wide in surprise. If she hadn't seen Shumulu's normal expression, she would have thought that her master was crazy. However, she was also a clever person and quickly thought of the key point, "Master
,What did the emperor say to you?"
Mrs. Shumulu looked at the engraved silver ball on the top of the tent and said solemnly: "The emperor said that he would let me stay in the palace and make me his concubine, but the prerequisite is that I must change my words so that Concubine Xi can recover from this incident.
And retreat. Ruliu, I really didn’t expect that the person who finally allowed me to escape the fate of becoming a monk and stay in the palace was not a child, not someone else, but the person I hated the most.”
Although Ru Liu didn't hear Yinzhen's words with his own ears, he guessed it through Shu Mulu's words. There was unconcealable surprise in his eyes, "I didn't expect that the emperor would protect Concubine Xi so much without even having the principles he should have."
Yes." After a pause, she continued: "Listen to the master, are you agreeing to the emperor?"
Shu Mulu smiled bitterly and said, "Can I not agree?"
Her question left Ruliu speechless. After a long time, he said: "This is really wronging my master."
Mrs. Shumulu stroked her empty belly and said coldly: "This is not the first day I have been wronged. I can bear it. Besides, I believe that as long as I can continue to stay in the palace, I will have a way to deal with Mr. Niu Hulu; and
It’s not like there’s no good news at all this time, at least the emperor has decided not to canonize her as the imperial concubine.”
Ruliu's eyes fell on the abdomen that Shu Mulu had been caressing, and said with unspeakable pain: "Even so, it cannot offset the grievances and injuries suffered by the master."
Shu Mulu looked back at the tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "I know, so I swear, I must let Niu Hulu Lingruo get the retribution she deserves and let her die without a burial place, otherwise I, Shu Mulu Jiahui, will never
As a human being!”
Yinzhen thought that he could appease the Shumulu family with his high position as the Lord of the First Palace, but little did he know that the latter wanted much more than he thought, and it was not something that a concubine could satisfy.
Since Ling Ruo returned to Chengqian Palace, she has been sitting there without eating or drinking, not talking or crying, just sitting blankly, no matter what Shuixiu and the others said, they didn't say a word, unlike
Before, on the way back to Chengqian Palace, I would have some reactions to Sixi.
Seeing Ling Ruo's reaction and Si Xi's acquiescence, Shui Xiu and others understood that Brother Si was really gone, otherwise the master would not be so sad.
Just when Shuixiu was at a loss, Sanfu tugged at her sleeve and said, "Hurry up to Xianfu Palace and invite Empress Jin. At this time, only Concubine Jin can persuade the master."
"I hope the master will really listen to me instead of continuing to torture me like this." With a helpless sigh, Shuixiu left quickly. Less than half an hour later, she saw Guarjia hurriedly walking in.
He stopped when he reached Ling Ruo. Before he could speak, tears fell from his red eyes.
She was watering the flowers at the time and heard Shuixiu begging to see her. She just said that Ling Ruo had nothing to do and asked her to come and sit there. She never expected to hear such news. Hongli was dead? Died in Fuzhou? Why?
