After breakfast, Hongzhan saw Guarjia was about to leave, so he quickly jumped off the chair and took her hand: "Auntie, where are you going?"
Guarjia squatted down and said warmly: "I and your concubine will go to Kunning Palace to pay your respects to your empress."
Hongzhan hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Then...can I go?"
"This..." While Guarjia was hesitating, Ling Ruo said, "I can come with your aunt as soon as I go, and it won't take too much time. How about the sixth brother staying here obediently?"
"Yes, I'll be back soon. I hope my aunt will teach you how to draw. It just so happens that the imperial concubine is here, and her painting skills are even better than my aunt." Guarjia's words made Hongzhan's eyes brighten up, and he became empathetic.
He asked in a voice: "Really?"
Guarjia pinched his little nose and said, "Of course it's true. How could my aunt lie to you? So, please stay in the palace obediently and don't wander around. Do you understand?"
Hongzhan nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I will definitely be obedient."
After leaving Xianfu Palace, Ling Ruo said: "Brother Six is now very dependent on his sister, and his relationship with her is getting closer. This is a good thing. One day, he will accept her from the bottom of his heart."
"Whether you accept it or not, as long as he can stay by my side like this so that I can always watch him and teach him, I will be satisfied." When she said this, she said with some emotion: "Mr. Liu's thoughts
He is a man of many tricks and insidious ways, but the son he gave birth to is so smart and sensible, which is really surprising."
"No matter how smart and sensible a child is, he must be taught well, otherwise he will go down a wrong path, and even good things will turn into bad things. It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but Liu took advantage of Sixth Brother again and again, and his intentions were
It's so cruel, it's really scarier than a tiger." Ling Ruo shook her head and said, "It's okay if you don't want such an E Niang."
"Of course it doesn't matter to you or me, but Sixth Brother is different. The relationship between mother and son can't be cut off with just a cut." She paused and sighed: "That's all, just let everything happen. You can't force it. It should be mine.
It must be mine, otherwise, it’s useless to force it.”
When she said this, Ling Ruo didn't know what to say. She walked silently on the path covered with fallen leaves. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the shadow of Kunning Palace appeared in her sight. The autumn sun fell on the glazed tiles, giving people a sense of splendor and splendor.
Feeling, there is another kind of indescribable desolation...
The Queen...maybe she is really lonely. She lost her child, lost Yinzhen's favor, and now has to lose her biological brother. But who can be blamed for all this? If she hadn't been too extreme and harmed one after another.
A person who wants to get rid of Ling Ruo's mother and son again and again, wants to become the Queen Mother, why is she like this? In the end, it is her own fault.
If she could wake up and stop in time, it would still be too late, but presumably...she wouldn't, otherwise she wouldn't have persisted for more than 20 years. She chose this path and wanted to keep going.
, until the moment the road collapses.
With an indescribable emotion, Ling Ruo and Guarjia walked into the main hall of Kunning Palace. Although the door of the palace was open, it gave people a dark feeling inside. Nala was sitting there.
The person who came up looked not very good. Coincidentally, Mrs. Liu was also there. After Ling Ruo and the two sat down, she said: "Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin, why are you so good today? They came to visit early in the morning."
I."
Guarjia bowed in her chair and said, "I heard that Yingge was sent to the Penal Department Prison for committing a crime and will be disposed of at a certain date. I and the imperial concubine were afraid that the empress would be sad, so they came here to have a look."
Ling Ruoyi followed up and said, "Yes, I heard that your Majesty went to see the Emperor yesterday. I wonder what the Emperor said?"
An imperceptible cold light flashed across Nala's eyes, and then he smiled gently and said: "I am really touched that you have such thoughts. The emperor didn't say anything. He only said that you should deal with it according to the law. I think it will be done in the next few days.
There will be results."
Ms. Liu said with concern on her face: "My dear, don't worry too much. You and the Emperor have been married for many years. Maybe the Emperor will be merciful and spare Yingge's life."
"I hope so." Although he was talking to Mrs. Liu, Nala's eyes kept falling on Ling Ruo's face. Mrs. Liu thought about it for a moment, understood a little, and said with a smile: "Since the Imperial Concubine cares so much about the Queen,
, if you can plead a few words for Yingge in front of the emperor and ask the emperor to spare his life, then the queen will naturally feel no sadness at all, don’t you think?"
Ling Ruo glanced at her sideways and said calmly: "Even if Liu promises not to tell me, I will tell you this." After saying that, she turned her attention to Nala, "I know that Yingge is my only brother.
, the empress attaches great importance to him. As a concubine, I am supposed to share the worries and relieve the empress. However, Hongli was involved in this matter. As the empress of Hongli, I should avoid suspicion in this matter. Your Majesty, please
Say so?"
What Liu asked Ling Ruo, but Ling Ruo cleverly asked Nala, who was startled for a moment, nodded and said: "What Concubine Xi said is right, Yingge was obsessed with wanting to harm Hongli, and now he has ended up like this.
It can be said that he has reaped the consequences, so how can he ask Concubine Xi to intercede for him? Liu promised that you should never say this again in the future."
Mrs. Liu originally wanted to please the Nala family and put Ling Ruo in trouble, but she didn't expect that she would get such a call. Her face turned green and white for a while, and then she said in a polite voice: "Yes, I understand."
Nala sighed softly and said: "I can't control Yingge's affairs. What will happen depends on his own fate."
It seemed that she had seen through everything. In fact, the hatred in her heart surged and was difficult to calm down. In her opinion, all the disasters were brought to her by the Niu Hulu mother and her son. Today, she has no ability to let them
The fact that mother and son repay it does not mean that they will forget it. On the contrary, she will keep it in her heart and will repay it a hundred times in the future.
The hatred between each other has long been so strong that it cannot be resolved. At this time, it is no longer important why we hate each other. What matters is who wins and who loses.
On this day, the autumn exams began as scheduled. Countless scholars who had achieved the title of scholar entered the examination room. Many people were high-spirited and thought that they had the chance to win the exam. However, when the test questions were opened, their faces turned gray.
They failed miserably, because this was not what they thought the test questions were at all, and the homework they had done before naturally became useless, which made them angry and resentful. Many of them even spent more than a thousand taels of silver to buy the test questions, thinking that
He wanted to win the first prize in this autumn, but the result was all in vain.
In any case, Qiu Wei controlled the leak of test questions in time this time, and no trouble or accident occurred, which made Hongli relieved.
