Nala lowered her head and smiled and said: "I know that the emperor loves Princess Zhaoqing, but the emperor also said that the little princess is too magical. She is so young, how could she know this? Besides, Prince Guo took the concubine all the way. When we were trekking, Princess Zhaoqing was not born yet."
When Yinzhen was laughing, Nala suddenly sighed and said: "But having said that, it is really thanks to Prince Guo that the imperial concubine and Princess Zhaoqing are safe. If Prince Guo hadn't risked his life to pick perilla grass, Zhaoqing would not be safe." The princess will never survive."
Yinzhen frowned, stared at Nala and said, "What perilla grass?"
Nala was startled and said in astonishment: "Don't the emperor know about this?"
"I have never heard of it, please tell me." Faced with Yinzhen's words, Nala hesitated, and then shook his head and said: "I heard it accidentally, so maybe there is no such thing."
"Whether it's true or not, just say it, it's just to relieve your boredom." Yinzhen has always been very suspicious. Once he becomes suspicious, he will never give up until he understands it clearly. Na Lashi understands this exactly A little bit, so I used this trick of playing hard to get.
"Then...okay." Nala agreed reluctantly, and then said: "On my concubine's birthday, Concubine Qian gave me a fragrant wood bracelet inlaid with gold and blessing beads, and a statue of Agarwood carvings of Guanyin holding scriptures. The concubine remembered that Concubine Qin was the most sincere in worshiping Buddha, so she was summoned to the palace and presented these two things to her. On a whim, the concubine also rewarded Concubine Qin who entered the palace with her. The maid Ping'er was dressed in materials and asked the palace to make summer clothes. When the clothes were ready, the concubine asked Xiao Ningzi to send them over. The two of them talked casually, and the concubine realized that Ping'er was waiting on her all the way. Princess Xi's maid returned to the capital, and was later taken in by Princess Mengqin, who followed her to serve her. Ping'er said that when they escaped from Jungar, there were many dangers. Thanks to Prince Guo's bravery and resourcefulness, they were able to escape. , and later found a doctor who said that the fetus in the imperial concubine's belly was poisoned and had to be detoxified, otherwise even if it was barely born, it would not be able to survive. However, one of the medicines prescribed by the doctor was for five years. The above-mentioned perilla grass was searched in the drug store where he was at that time, but nothing was found. In order to save the fetus in the belly of the imperial concubine, Prince Guo personally went to the mountains to look for old perilla grass. In order to do so, he fell from the mountain and almost lost his life. , although I just listened to Xiao Ningzi’s narration, I was also shocked. I didn’t expect that Prince Guo would risk his life, which is really commendable for his loyalty and bravery. Afterwards, Ping’er also said..." Nala deliberately did not say that. Go down and wait for Yinzhen to ask.
Sure enough, Yinzhen said: "What else did Ping'er say?"
There was a look of struggle on Nala's face. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ping'er didn't say anything when I returned to the emperor."
Yinzhen's face turned cold and he stared at her and said, "Queen, you have learned how to lie in front of me. What else do you know?"
Nala hurriedly knelt down and said with a fearful expression: "I don't dare, but I feel that the following are just Ping'er's own speculations. There is no evidence, so there is really no need to say it."
Yinzhen said with a stiff face: "I said, I should relieve my boredom and continue talking."
Nala glanced at Yinzhen, lowered her head and said, "I obey, Ping'er said. Along the way, Prince Guo took special care of Concubine Xi. She was so special that she was even unlike ordinary officials. On the night she returned to Beijing, the concubine gave birth prematurely, and Prince Guo also She was so nervous that she stayed outside and refused to leave even half a step. When Princess Zhaoqing was just born, no one fed her to drink the medicine, but Prince Guo was the only one who could drink it. From then on, she especially liked Prince Guo to hold her. He stopped crying as soon as he hugged him, it was... almost as if he was born to Prince Guo." Seeing that Yinzhen's face turned ugly, she quickly said: "When Xiao Ningzi told me this, I immediately So he scolded him. The imperial concubine was pregnant before she left the palace. How could this child have anything to do with Prince Guo? It seems that Prince Guo has always been kind to their mother and daughter, so he is so attached to her."
Yinzhen didn't speak, he just clutched the red sandalwood handrail tightly, with veins on the back of his hands exposed. It was obvious that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Seeing him like this, Nala knew that her plan was half successful. At least it had successfully aroused Yinzhen's suspicion, not about Jiarou's origin, but whether Yunli and Lingruo had an affair.
After a long time, Yinzhen asked: "Besides, what else did Ping'er say?"
"The rest is nothing, but after Ping'er went to wait on Concubine Qin, she overheard Concubine Qin saying that Prince Guo originally wanted not to tell the emperor about Concubine Qin's return to Beijing, but Concubine Qin strongly opposed it.
I had no choice but to tell the emperor. I heard all this from Xiao Ningzi. I really don’t know whether it is true or false."
The truth of the matter is naturally not like this, but if you don't say so, how can you make Yinzhen more suspicious?!
She has always adhered to a principle, that is, if she doesn't take action, once she does, Niu Hulu will be killed. In fact, Niu Hulu almost died several times, but God helped her and let her die every time.
They were so lucky to escape death.
However, it's time for Niu Hulu's good luck to end. This time, she must make it impossible for Niu Hulu to stand up.
Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, she whispered: "Your Majesty, in fact, these things are just what others say. Just forget it if you have heard it. I don't think it is true. Even if Prince Guo really takes the risk to pick perilla grass, I think it is because of loyalty.
As for the emperor, I don’t want the emperor’s flesh and blood to be in danger, and it has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. The emperor must not be suspicious of the imperial concubine because of my concubine’s words, otherwise I really don’t know what to do.”
"I know, you should get up." After Nala stood up, Yinzhen said: "I still have many things to read. Queen, please step aside first."
"I obey." Nala's goal has been achieved. Even if Yinzhen has not expressed his position yet, looking at this, the seeds of doubt must have been planted in his heart, and they will soon take root and sprout, becoming what she hopes.
And all she has to do now is to wait until the situation breaks out.
After Nala left, Yinzhen returned to the imperial desk. He had almost finished approving the notes on the desk and only needed to write the last few words. But this time, what happened when Yinzhen raised his pen?
He couldn't write anymore. His thoughts were very confused. All that appeared in his mind were what Nala had just said, and his mood became irritable.
Such annoyance made him not correct a single word until sunset. Finally, he threw away his pen, stood up and walked out. Sixi followed quickly, and Yinzhen took great strides and came very quickly.
When they arrived outside Chengqian Palace, Sixi thought he would walk in, but he stopped and did not take another step forward. He just looked at Chengqian Palace and the vague figures in the palace with a complicated expression.
