Although it was only a few days before the canonization ceremony, there was still time to make the gold book, and Mr. Shu Mulu finally settled a matter on his mind.
"Rui is also auspicious, no matter how she deserves the word." This is what Guarjia said after hearing this.
Nowadays, the weather is cold and cool, so charcoal has been burned in various palaces and courtyards. The fine silver charcoal is burning red in the copper basin, making a "beeping" sound from time to time.
Ling Ruo peeled off a pine nut and handed it to Guarjia, and then peeled another one. Seeing her unhurried look, Guarjia couldn't help but said: "She came to tell you about Hongli that day.
The news of her death clearly had no good intentions, and now she is about to become a concubine, don’t you care less?"
"It doesn't matter, it's still sealed." Ling Ruo lowered his head and said, "I blame myself for being too reckless that day. In a fit of anger, I forgot that she was pregnant, and accidentally pushed her to the ground, causing a miscarriage."
"It's her own fault!" Guarjia said angrily: "Although I know that the emperor made her his concubine because of you, but seeing her so proud, it always makes me feel very depressed."
"Why don't I." Ling Ruo sighed softly, rubbed her fingers gently on the pine nuts, and watched the tawny pine clothes fall from her fingertips, "Maybe she really has not run out of energy, we did what we did.
All failed to get rid of her, but only made her come back again."
"That's all, let's not talk about her anymore. The more we talk about it, the more angry we get." As she said this, Guarjia changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you got any clues about Hongli's case? It was really Prince Lian who did it.
?”
Speaking of this, Ling Ruo's eyes turned cold, "There is a strong chance that he can be convicted only after the evidence is conclusive. Now the only doubt is Hong Shi. I don't know that he knew anything about Hong Li."
How much, or rather, he simply conspired with Prince Lian to kill Hongli!" As she spoke, the pine nuts in her hand had been crushed to pieces.
"When the late emperor was alive, Prince Lian competed with the emperor for the throne. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he was still evil and wanted to harm the emperor. The emperor spared his life out of brotherly love, but he didn't expect that he would not be grateful and would make such a fuss.
A big thing is coming. I feel sorry for Hongli, but also for the millions of people in Fuzhou." After sighing, Guarjia said: "As for the second elder brother, if he really conspires with Prince Lian, how will the emperor deal with it?
"
"The emperor promised me that he would not let anyone harm Hongli go. As long as it is confirmed that he is related to the second elder brother, even if he does not die, he will be stripped of his yellow belt and become a commoner!"
Guarjia nodded and said: "Once the second elder brother falls, the queen will be gone."
After being quiet for a while, Ling Ruo said in a deep voice: "Ever since I learned that the Queen blamed me for Honghui's death, and became ruthless and unscrupulous, I have always wanted to get rid of the Queen. However, after fighting for more than twenty years, I have been able to get rid of the Queen.
In the harem, she has always been unable to do anything to me, and I can't do anything to her. I thought I would have to fight this old enemy for the rest of my life, but I never thought that such an opportunity would appear now. But if I have a choice, I would rather not, just ask for Hongli
Can live."
"Ruo'er, you..." Guarjia was about to persuade, but Ling Ruo raised her hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional."
Guarjia said happily: "Let the past go by. Cherish the present and don't let yourself regret it in the future."
At this time, Yang Hai walked in and whispered in Shuixiu's ear. Shuixiu nodded and knelt down and said: "Master, Imperial Physician Zhou has arrived at Chengqian Palace. Will you go over now?"
Before Ling Ruo spoke, Guarjia asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhou? Ruo'er, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Guarjia's nervous look, Ling Ruo laughed and said, "I'm fine. Sister, don't worry. It's just that this month's monthly letter has not arrived, so I called Dr. Zhou to come and take a look."
Guarjia felt reassured, then pursed her lips and chuckled: "The letter of the month has not arrived yet, which is a good thing. Maybe you will have Ruo'er again."
Ling Ruo's cheeks turned slightly red when she said that, and she spat: "Why has my sister become so immoral? How old is she? How could she still be pregnant? It must have been because she was overly worried about Hongli during this period, so
Missed the deadline."
"What does it mean to be unserious? You are not in your seventies or eighties now, you are only in your thirties. I have seen a forty-year-old woman get pregnant and give birth to a pair of twins!" At this point, Guarjia stopped.
Smiling, he said seriously: "But I really hope you can have another baby to make up for the pain of losing Hongli."
Ling Ruo looked at her flat belly and said softly: "I don't want to, but... this is just a wish after all."
When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, they saw Zhou Minghua waiting inside. After bowing, he took out a silk handkerchief and put it on Ling Ruo's wrist to diagnose her pulse.
After Zhou Minghua let go of his hand, Ling Ruo asked nervously: "Mr. Zhou, why has my monthly letter not arrived for so long?" Although Ling Ruo said it was impossible, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
I hope I can have another baby.
Zhou Minghua said hesitantly: "Forgive me for my shallow medical skills. At this moment, I cannot determine the reason why the Queen's letter has not arrived."
Ling Ruo frowned and said, "Why is that? If you have anything to say, Doctor Zhou can just say it directly without any hesitation."
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood." Zhou Minghua hesitated for a moment and said, "My Majesty's pulse resembles the Chi pulse, but it is not exactly the same. The real Chi pulse should be smooth and powerful, and can be pressed continuously, but my Majesty's Chi pulse does not."
It is intermittent, so Weichen has been unable to determine."
Although Zhou Minghua said a lot, Ling Ruo was confused, and she didn't know what the Chi pulse he was talking about was. Shuixiu said at the side: "Mr. Zhou, my master is not a doctor. Please tell me."
It’s simpler and easier to understand.”
Zhou Minghua came to his senses and said quickly: "Wei Chen is confused. In fact, the Chi pulse is the pulse of pregnancy."
When the word "pregnancy" fell into her ears, Ling Ruo couldn't believe her ears. After a while, she said in a trembling voice: "You...you said that I am pregnant?"
She originally thought it was just an extravagant hope, but she didn't expect it to be true. Before the letter came, it turned out to be because she was pregnant. God... was God trying to make up for her?
Facing those eyes that gradually showed surprise, Zhou Minghua said: "As Weichen said before, the empress has the image of the Chi pulse but it is not completely consistent, so Weichen dare not conclude that the empress's letter has not arrived yet.
Is it due to pregnancy or Qi and blood blockage?"
The look in Ling Ruo's eyes dimmed because of his words. After all... was she just wishful thinking? Come to think of it, she was not in her twenties, so how could she say that she was fifteen years old?
That year, she was promised to Yinzhen by Concubine Rong, and now twenty-three years have passed, and her age has also changed from fifteen to thirty-seven, and she has long passed the age suitable for childbearing.
