Seeing that Nala had made up her mind, Xiao Ningzi stopped talking about the matter and said instead: "Master, you didn't eat anything just now, why don't you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nala had already interrupted: "I have no appetite, please ask someone to take away the dinner."
Xiao Ningzi sighed and asked tentatively: "Can I help you make a cup of ginseng soup?"
Nala was not in the mood to talk, but just waved his hand to signal him to leave. Before going to bed, Xiao Ningzi came in with ginseng soup. Nala only drank half the cup and asked him to leave.
After a sleepless night, he finally stayed up until dawn. Xiao Ningzi received his badge early. As soon as the palace gate opened, he went out and walked around to wait outside the Meridian Gate. When Hongshi came out from the morning, he greeted him and said:
"Second Brother, Master, please come over."
Seeing Xiao Ningzi guarding here, Hongshi knew it must be something important and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Ningzi led the way and said, "I don't know what to say, but you will know after you go."
Seeing that Xiao Ningzi refused to say anything, Hongshi didn't ask any more questions and walked quickly to Kunning Palace. When he entered the palace, he saw Nala sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and his face looking a little pale.
.
"My lord, let me bow to the emperor!" Hongshi lifted up the court clothes he had not changed out of, put one knee on the ground, and paid his respects to Nala.
When Narashi heard his voice, he slowly opened his eyes and did not ask him to get up. He just said: "Hongshi, do you have anything to say to me?"
Hongshi quickly raised his head and then said: "I don't know what the emperor means."
Nara took a deep breath, stood up and walked to Hongshi, "You told me before that you would protect yourself and me, and you would not let anyone hurt me, including yourself. Now I
I want to ask you, is this sentence true or false?"
Hongshi's heart tightened, and he guessed that Nala knew about his visit to Yikun Palace to meet Xu, so he immediately said: "Please listen to your explanation, your minister..."
As soon as Hongshi finished speaking, Nala interrupted him and said again: "I just want to know whether what you said at that time is true or false?"
Hongshi lowered his head and said: "I will never lie to the emperor's mother!"
Nala nodded and said: "In that case, I have nothing to ask. I asked Xiao Ningzi to call you. I just want to remind you that since the news of your going to Yikun Palace can be heard by me,
If you hit the target, it will reach the ears of Imperial Concubine Xi and even your Emperor Ama. By then, there will be no way to end this matter, do you understand?"
Hongshi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and after a while he said guiltily: "I understand, I was reckless, I deserve to die!"
"Alas, I know that you are deeply in love with Suo Chuo Luo. It's my fault. At that time, I thought it was for your own good, but I didn't put myself in your shoes. In fact, I should be the one who really deserves to die. Alas,
If time could go back, I would never hurt you, because you are my son." At this point, she personally helped Hongshi up and choked slightly: "I know that would be very difficult for you, but you must
You must not make any more mistakes, you know?"
"I know that the Queen is working hard. In fact, I just want to see Xu Changzai, and he doesn't want to." Listening to Hongshi's words, Nala said warmly: "I know, but others won't do this. They
I will try my best to discredit your relationship with Xu Changzai in front of the emperor. It is so difficult for you to stand up again, and you must not fall again."
Hongshi didn't say anything else, but kept nodding his head. When he was leaving Kunning Palace, he said again: "Don't worry, Queen E, I will not go to Yikun Palace again."
"I believe in you." Nala smiled warmly, but behind the smile, there was a coldness. No matter what Hongshi said, the Xu family would have to die. Only when the Xu family died, could they live forever.
No future trouble.
In the next half month, the harem was calmer than ever. It was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, with no wind that could even stir the water. Such calmness was obviously strange, even weird, in the harem.
However, this kind of peace obviously did not include Yongshou Palace. Qi Jia fulfilled her promise and came to find trouble for Mrs. Liu every three days. Every time she came, she used different methods to punish her. Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it and once went to the palace for this.
After meeting Ling Ruo, the latter just lightly scolded Qi Jia. Qi Jia restrained herself for a few days and returned to her old ways. Liu knew that she deliberately favored Qi Jia, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it. But what happened next
One incident made her almost collapse. Because Yinzhen officially issued an order to hand over Hongzhan to the Guarjia family to raise. In other words, Hongzhan became the Guarjia family's son.
She worked hard to be pregnant for ten months, but the son she gave birth to became someone else's son. How could she be willing to accept this? Moreover, after losing Hongzhan, she could only make a promise in this life, and she could only accept Qi Jia in her life.
The humiliation was even worse than killing her!
Ever since she found out about this, she had locked herself in the house without eating, drinking, or seeing anyone. Jingu tried to persuade her outside the door for a long time, but she couldn't get her to open the door.
Haitang walked up to Jin Gu with the meal and said, "Aunt, the master still refuses to come out?"
Jin Gu sighed and said, "Oh, I have said everything, but the master just refuses to open the door and doesn't even agree. I really don't know what to do."
Haitang said helplessly: "I have already gone to the imperial dining room twice for hot lunch. The father-in-law there has already made many remarks. If I go again..."
"Let's leave it alone for now, wait until the master comes out." With that said, Jin Gu was about to leave, but unexpectedly saw Qi Jia coming in. Knowing that she was here to cause trouble again, she cursed in a low voice: "Yan
There is no end to this villain like you."
After Jingu suppressed the anger in her heart, she and Haitang went up to greet him and said, "My slave, please pay your respects to Mr. Yan."
Qi Jia stared at Aunt Jin and said calmly: "Aunt Jin kept moving her lips just now, as if she was saying something. Could she be scolding me?"
Jin Gu lost her smile and said: "Yan Gui really loves to joke, how dare I disrespect you? I was talking to Haitang just now and asked her to take the lunch down first."
"Really?" Mrs. Qi Jia sneered, looked behind Jin Gu, and said, "Why is the door closed in broad daylight? Did Liu promise to be inside?"
Aunt Jin was afraid that the Qi Jia family would take the opportunity to cause trouble for the Liu family, so she quickly said: "Replying to your noble lord, the master feels that his head hurts, so he is resting inside, and I will go and pass the news right now."
"Have a headache?" The smile on Qi Jia's face became colder and colder, "I think she is feeling distressed, right? She was pregnant for ten months and her son, who she had worked hard to raise for two years, turned into someone else's son in the blink of an eye. Tsk tsk, it's time to change.
Liu agreed to me, not to mention feeling distressed, even wanting to die."
