Shui Xiu nodded, and after seeing off Zhou Minghua, she returned to Ling Ruo, and after finding an unattended opportunity, she quietly told her what Zhou Minghua had said.
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, and still acted as if nothing was wrong. She had dinner with Guarjia, and then went to Changyin Pavilion to listen to a play. During this process, Ling Ruo intentionally or unintentionally asked about Guarjia's recent affairs.
What clues should I find from it?
After hearing a certain sentence, Ling Ruo's eyebrows moved and she said, "Sister, do you often go to the Queen's house recently?"
"Yes, Hongzhan said that she was the emperor's mother, and it was hard to justify her greetings, so she always went there two or three times a month, which can't be said to be regular." At this time, Guarjia was awake, and she saw Ling.
If Ruo didn't say anything, he stretched out his hand to cover the back of Ling Ruo's hand, "I know what you are thinking, but Hongzhan wants to go to greet you out of a sense of filial piety, so I can't stop him."
Ling Ruo hesitated for a moment and said cryptically: "The sixth elder brother should be filial to my sister, not the one in Kunning Palace. Besides, the queen has a vicious mind. It's better not to go there if she can."
Guarjia chuckled and said: "I understand what you are worried about, but even if the queen hates me, she will not dare to do anything openly unless she wants to seek death."
Ling Ruo naturally thought of this, but she still felt uneasy in her heart, especially after thinking about that dream.
Afraid of any eventuality, it’s better to be careful with things like this.”
Seeing the solemn look on her face, Guarjia gradually stopped smiling and said, "Ruo'er, did something happen?"
Ling Ruoqiang put on a smile and said, "It's nothing. It's just that you have to be careful in everything. If something happens, it will be too late to regret it."
Her smile did not reassure Guarjia. Instead, she sighed, looked at Ling Ruo and said, "Don't hide it from me. In fact, I also felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong at first.
At that time, I thought I didn't get enough rest, but no matter what I did, that feeling still existed."
Ling Ruo was silent for a while and said: "Since sister feels something is wrong, why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look?"
Guarjia shook his head and said: "I don't know. I always feel that my mind is very confused. Sometimes it's me, and sometimes it's not me. That feeling is really weird. Just like in this play, sometimes
I feel like I like it very much, so much so that I put on a costume and sing; sometimes I think it’s just that, just forget it after listening to it. Don’t you think it’s weird?”
Ling Ruo looked down at her hand covering the back of her hand. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. After a long time, she held the hand and whispered, "I won't let anything happen to my sister."
"Actually, after decades of living, I don't care how long I can live. It's just that there are two people in my heart that I can't let go of. One is you and the other is Hongzhan. What if..." Her fingertips were trembling slightly and she was a little hoarse.
Authentic: "If anything happens to me, please help me take good care of Hongzhan and don't let him return to Mr. Liu before he can distinguish right from wrong. That will harm him for the rest of his life."
"I won't pay attention to the sixth elder brother." Ling Ruo's answer shocked Guarjia. Before she could understand, Ling Ruo's voice came to her ears again, "The sixth elder brother belongs to my sister, so he has to take care of her."
Take care of yourself."
Guarjia came back to his senses and said with a smile: "When did you become so careless? Don't you also like Sixth Brother very much?"
"I like it, but I won't help my sister in this matter, because... I believe that my sister will be fine." Ling Ruo looked unquestionably firm.
Guarjia shook his head and said: "You are sometimes unreasonable, but you are more unreasonable than anyone else. In this world, you don't know what the future will be like. Who dares to say the word 'certainly'?"
"Even if God wants to take my sister's life, I will take her back from God's hands." This is what Ling Ruo said to Guarjia, and it was also what she said to herself.
Something was really wrong with Guarjia. After a while, she seemed to have forgotten what she had said to Ling Ruo. She concentrated on the stage and sang softly along with the actors on the stage from time to time.
Such a Guarjia family made Ling Ruo feel extremely heavy and had no intention of watching what was being performed on the stage.
After returning to Xianfu Palace, Hongzhan was still awake. When he saw Guarjia coming in, he happily greeted her: "Auntie, you are back."
"Well, you kid, why are you still up so late?" Guarjia stroked Hongzhan's cheek lovingly. Regardless of whether she was awake or not, she loved Hongzhan from the bottom of her heart.
Hongzhan said obediently: "I want to wait until my aunt comes back before I go to bed, and I haven't made tea for my aunt yet."
His words made Guarjia feel even more pity, "Silly boy, it doesn't matter if you don't make tea once in a while. Besides, my aunt knows that you are filial, so it doesn't matter whether you make tea or not."
Hongzhan said seriously: "My aunt taught me that everything must have a beginning and an end, and you can't give up halfway."
Faced with his words, Guarjia was both amused and touched. It was hard for such a young person to remember what he had said, so he immediately said: "In that case, go make the tea quickly and go to bed.
"
Hongzhan happily agreed, and after handing the tea to Guarjia with both hands, he left with his grandmother, leaving Guarjia alone to taste the Lushan Yunfeng tea that embodies Hongzhan's filial piety.
Ling Ruo spent many nights in the palace, but rarely had such a sleepless night. Guarjia's strangeness was like a big stone, weighing on her heart, making her breathless.
As soon as it got dark, he ordered someone to call Zhou Minghua and ask him if he had found any clues in the medical books. The latter opened his eyes full of bloodshot eyes because he had not slept all night and said: "I am incompetent. For the time being, I can still find something that matches my wishes."
Clues about the concubine’s symptoms. But Wei Chen plans to go find the master after leaving the palace later, maybe he will know something."
The master he mentioned was naturally Rong Yuan. Ling Ruo was naturally convinced of Rong Yuan's medical skills. Over the years, if he hadn't protected him at all times, he would have died long ago.
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Shui Xiu that Concubine Jin's pulse seems a bit like poisoning, don't you think?"
"Yes, but Concubine Jin has not shown any symptoms of poisoning, so Wei Chen dare not make an assertion easily. To say the least, if it is really poisonous, we still can't figure out what it is."
Ling Ruo thought about it, but couldn't come up with a clue, so he had to repeat what Gualjia said to him when he was watching a play in Changyin Pavilion, so that he could better understand Gualjia's condition.
