When Nala learned about this incident, she fell into deep thought for a long time. Yinzhen suddenly issued two decrees, which gave her an ominous premonition. Yinzhen had no plans to escape the Summer Palace. In other words, she
I won't leave the Forbidden City at all.
If she won't leave, how can she use the Queen's guard of honor, unless... this guard of honor is for others, but is this possible? This is the Queen's guard of honor. In the world, only the Lord of the Middle Palace can use it. It represents the mother.
Who can overstep the majesty of the world?
There is also the matter of preparing the imperial concubine ceremony, which is obviously saying that someone will be registered as a noble concubine in the near future. If we talk about the people in the palace who are qualified to be registered as a noble concubine, it is none other than the Guarjia family and the Dai Jia family, but these two
It was only a few months ago that she was registered as a concubine. Since then, she has not given birth to fireworks for the royal family. What qualifications do she have to be registered as a noble concubine?
This is really unreasonable. What on earth are you planning, Yinzhen?
Nala thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a result, but she remembered what Hongshi said a few days ago, and her eyes gradually became darker. After an unknown period of time, Xiao Ningzi walked in softly and said
: "Master, the second elder brother is here to say hello to you."
Nala was just hesitating whether to order someone to call Hongshi in. Unexpectedly, he came by himself. He put down his hand and said, "Let him come in."
"Hey." Following Xiao Ningzi's agreement, Hongshi walked in and greeted Nala first as usual.
Nala raised her hand and said: "Didn't I let you stay in the house for a long time? Why did you come here?"
Hongli sat down in the chair and said: "Now that the storm has settled, I am thinking about the emperor's mother, so I want to come to pay my respects to the emperor's mother. Besides, it is a matter of course for me to pay my respects to the emperor's mother, and no one will do it.
There will be something to say.”
Nala nodded and said: "I am in the harem, so it is inconvenient to ask your Majesty Ama too many questions. Do you really believe that the assassination of Hongli was carried out by the Red Flower Club?"
Although Yingge successfully framed this incident on the Red Flower Club and lost nearly half of his men, Yinzhen was an extremely shrewd and suspicious monarch. If he did not know anything about it, he would discover the clues, which would make that
La Shi did not dare to be rash.
Hongshi showed a hint of pride and said, "Don't worry, Emperor Eniang, now the assassination has calmed down, the nine gates of the capital have been reopened, the people from the Infantry Yamen and Shuntian Mansion have also returned to their respective places, everything has become the same as before.
Same."
Nala said without any pretense: "Even so, you can't be careless. Don't forget that the most terrifying power of your Emperor Ama is not in the open, but in the dark. No one knows whether those spies have also withdrawn."
Well, they are not vegetarians. If they get into trouble on this matter, it will be too late to cry. Because of this, your uncle has never entered the palace to avoid being noticed by those spies. "
Her words made Hongshi put away the pride on his face, and even said with a hint of panic: "I know that I will be careful. If nothing happens, I will leave."
But Nala said: "Since you are here, please sit down for a while. It just so happens that I also have something to ask you."
Nala's words made Hongshi a little surprised. He lowered his head and said, "I wonder what the Queen's orders are?"
Nala stroked the watermelon green tourmaline ring between her fingers and said: "On that day, you told me that the emperor vaguely mentioned that there was someone else alive besides Hongli, right? During this period, your emperor Ama can
Has this person been mentioned again?"
Although Hongshi was surprised, he didn't say much. He just replied: "Yes, I did have this suspicion. But at that time, the emperor's mother ordered me to do more things than to do less, so I also
I don’t dare to inquire. The only thing I know is that Huang Ama still goes to Guojun Prince’s Mansion every two days.”
Nala's face was gloomy and he said: "There is another thing you don't know, that is, your Emperor Ama just asked the Ministry of Rites to draft two edicts."
"Huang Ama's will?" Hongshi obviously didn't know this matter. After Nala said it again, his expression became strange. After thinking for a long time, he said: "As soon as I leave the palace, I will send
People sneaked into the Guojun Prince's Mansion at night to investigate and see if they could find any clues."
"It's time to do some research, but there is no need to send people to sneak into such a dangerous place. Find a servant of Guojun Prince's Mansion and see what they can ask. Remember not to reveal your identity." Nala thought for a moment and said this.
In other words, she obviously thought much more carefully than Hongshi.
"I know about it. As soon as there is news, I will immediately send someone to the palace to tell the emperor." After Hongshi retreated, Nala held Xiao Ningzi's hand and walked to the courtyard. The sky was gloomy today.
The sun is shining brightly like normal days, but the heat that permeates the air has not diminished at all. Instead, the heat has added a bit of boredom. Just standing for a short while will make people feel sticky all over.
sweat.
Xiao Ningzi felt that the dirty clothes were stuck to her skin, and it was so sticky that it made her feel uncomfortable. After taking a look at Nala's face, which was so calm that no one could see any thoughts, she whispered: "Master
, it’s muggy outside, I’d better help you in.”
Nala raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky. Dark clouds were gathering from all directions, and thunder could be heard faintly from the clouds. "It seems that there will be a heavy rain soon."
Xiao Ningzi smiled apologetically and said, "Since the beginning of summer, the capital has been very hot and muggy. Wouldn't it be great if the rain can come down to dissipate some of the heat?"
"Do you think it's okay? I don't think it's good at all!" Nala's words made Xiao Ningzi quickly lower his head. He became Nala's confidant not by his ability to flatter others, but by speculation.
Regarding people's hearts, even if Nala Shi made a move or looked at his eyes, he would have to carefully speculate for a long time before saying the most appropriate words.
If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in the top position among the many people in Kunning Palace. But now he doesn't understand, why does Nala say that rain is not good?
But he couldn't keep silent like this, so after thinking nervously for a moment, he said with a more cautious smile than before: "Master said, this rain will destroy the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
And the wet road is not easy to walk on.”
Nara glanced at him and said: "Do you think I feel bad because of this? You are wrong. I just hate the heat that will soon sweep over me, and the short-term coolness will only make people hate it even more.
The heat.”
When Xiao Ningzi heard this, he said with sincerity and fear: "I'm a stupid slave, please forgive me, master."
"Xiao Ningzi, when Hong Shi said that there might be someone alive, you said that it was probably the Niu Hulu family, because after her, there was no other person that the emperor cared about so much. I, at that time
It is impossible for her to have such a hard life, but now I am shaken. The queen's guard of honor and the concubine's ceremony may be really prepared for that woman." When saying these words, Nala's face showed a small smile.
Ningzi was so depressed that he had never seen before.
