"Slave..." Zi Rong looked at Hongshi, wondering if she should say it in front of Nala.
Nara saw Zi Rong's weirdness in his eyes and said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"
Hongshi smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, I met Zi Rong when I entered the palace just now. I asked her if Xu Guiren was feeling better. She must have come to tell me about this." After that, he
He turned around and said, "Zirong, how is Xu Guiren's health? Is it getting better?"
Zi Rong is also a smart person. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Reply to the second elder brother, the master's health is not only not good, but is getting worse. You should hurry over and take a look."
As soon as he heard this, Hongshi knew that something must have happened over there at Chang Yueju, but he couldn't say it clearly in front of Nala. He immediately said: "Empress, Mr. Xu is seriously ill. I'll go over and take a look.
I’ll come and talk to you later.”
"Sit down!" Nala stared at him coldly. After he sat down again, he said: "Xu Guiren is seriously ill and has an imperial physician to take care of him. You don't have medical skills, so what did you do in the past? And you are Ah
Brother, it doesn’t matter if you come here to this palace, but you still have to avoid certain taboos when going to other palaces.”
"The emperor's mother is right." Hongshi agreed helplessly, and then said: "But I have met Xu Guiren several times, and she was kind enough to give him two kites. Now I know
It seems a bit unreasonable that she doesn’t visit her even though she is seriously ill. But as an elder brother, I really have to avoid some taboos, so why not ask the emperor’s mother to go to Changyue Residence with me?”
Seeing Hongshi's insistence, Nala was secretly annoyed, but she never showed joy or anger on her face. After thinking for a while, she said: "In that case, I will go there with you."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Hongshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and personally helped Nala to go to Changyueju.
On the other side, after waiting for a while, Ling Ruo said again: "How about it, has Xu Guiren thought about it?"
Mrs. Xu held her head in pain and said, "I...I don't know, please don't force me!"
Maybe Hongshi regarded her as a substitute, but she wasn't. She really liked Hongshi. For the first time in more than ten years, her heart was moved like this, and she fell in love with someone so much, so much that she knew that it was inappropriate and that she would be killed.
Misfortune, she still gave her virginity to him. If she had to send Hongshi to die with her own hands, she...she really couldn't do it!
"It's not me who is forcing you. I just want to protect you and the Xu family." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, Mrs. Xu said angrily: "You don't have to say it so nicely. Basically, everything was set up by you.
The plan was for you to harm me and my second elder brother, but at the end of the day you said it so nicely."
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "The most important thing to me has always been my second elder brother. As for you... I feel sorry for you. As long as you agree, I promise that you will never harm the Xu clan. I can even
I guarantee that your Xu family will be more prosperous than now."
With family on one side and lover on the other, Xu didn't know how to make a decision, but after learning that she was just a substitute, she did feel a little resentful towards Hong Shi.
At this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside, "The Queen has arrived! The second elder brother has arrived!"
Long before coming to Chang Yue Ju, Ling Ruo knew that Hong Shi was in Kunning Palace, and also guessed that Zi Rong went out quietly to find Hong Shi for help, but she did not expect that Nala would also follow.
Seeing Nala, who was wearing a red embroidered Luanfeng flag uniform, walk in, Ling Ruo knelt down and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed!"
"Excuse me." After Ling Ruo stood up, Hong Shi also bowed and said, "I have met the imperial concubine."
"Second elder brother, please wake up." After saying this, Ling Ruo said with a hint of proper respect: "I wonder why the queen and second elder brother are here?"
Just when Hongshi was about to speak, Nala took the lead and said: "That girl Zirong came to Kunning Palace to say that Xu Guiren was seriously ill. I was worried, so I came over to take a look. Hongshi happened to be there too, so we came together."
After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Xu who was huddled on the bed in despair, frowned and said: "It seems that Xu Guiren is really ill. Where is the imperial doctor? Have you seen him?"
When Nala was talking, Hongshi kept looking at Xu, his eyes full of worry and deep fear. It was obviously wrong for Concubine Xi to appear here, and Zi Rong came to him in such a panic, it was very likely that Xi
The imperial concubine already knew about Xu's pregnancy.
"Returning to the Empress, Dr. Wu has already examined Mr. Xu." After saying that, her eyes fell on Dr. Wu who had just walked in. The latter said knowingly: "To express my gratitude to the Queen, Mr. Xu's condition is not actually getting worse.
But she is pregnant."
"Pregnant?" An exclamation sounded on Nala's lips. She had not been so surprised for a long time. After the surprise, she was even more scared. She remembered clearly that Mrs. Xu did not go to bed. In other words, she
The child in her belly could not be Yinzhen's. It was the child conceived by Xu after having an affair with someone. The person who had the affair was probably... probably Hongshi...
When Nala was secretly panicking because of this guess, Ling Ruo already said: "Yes, it is absolutely true. Xu Guiren is indeed more than a month pregnant. I speculate that she was conceived while at Hui'an Temple."
." Speaking of this, she deliberately glanced at Hong Shi and said: "Hey, it's the second elder brother's.
Why is his face a little pale? Could it be..." Before Ling Ruo could continue, Nala said: "Hongshi is suffering from heatstroke today. I have asked him not to come, but he said that he had been treated by Xu Guiren.
I wanted to come and see the gift of a kite, but I never expected that it would be like this."
Seeing that Na Lashi had made up his mind, Ling Ruo did not continue to speak. After all, there was no evidence at the moment. If he said too much rashly, it would be easy to reveal his own trump card, "Not only the empress, but also the concubine did not expect that Xu
Your noble man is really...well, I don’t even know what to say.”
Nala squeezed her hands secretly and said, "Did Mr. Xu ever say who he was secretly committing adultery with?"
Ling Ruo did not speak, but said to Mrs. Xu who was huddled on the bed in a daze, "Mr. Xu, the Queen is asking you something. Tell the truth immediately and don't hide it anymore."
Nala glanced at her and said: "Yes, Mr. Xu, with whom did you conceive this evil child? Tell me the truth and don't hide anything. Otherwise, I will never give you mercy."
Mrs. Xu had been immersed in her own thoughts just now. Until this moment, she came back to her senses, raised her head, and unexpectedly saw Hong Shi. The moment their eyes met, her heart could not help but tremble, especially when she saw Hong Shi.
The worry in his eyes made his heart tremble even more.
