Zhong Shang's head was in confusion. He wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to say. Do he really want to confess the queen? He knew the queen's methods. Even if Concubine Xi spared his life, the queen would definitely take his life. In addition to
There is no second way to death, and his family... what should he do?
He tried to calm himself down and forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying, "I remember, the time when Concubine Jing gave me tea leaves was in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign. The book says it was the fifty-eighth year.
Of course it’s not quite right.”
"It seems that you really want to die." Ling Ruo said with a serious face: "Yang Hai took the booklet and went with me to see the emperor. Let's see if the emperor believes what Manager Zhong said or sends him to the Department of Punishment for torture.
When passing by the bloodless Zhong Shang, she paused and said with a sneer: "I almost forgot to remind Manager Zhong that the crime of murdering the palace concubine cannot be offset by killing you alone."
Hearing this, Zhong Shang finally couldn't resist anymore and knelt down and said: "I don't know anything. Please let me go."
Ling Ruo looked down at him and said expressionlessly: "I intend to let you go, but unfortunately you don't want to, so I have to send you and your family on their way. I hope your family will not blame you on the road to hell."
Seeing that Ling Ruo was about to step out of the hall, Zhong Shang finally couldn't bear the fear that almost overwhelmed him. He rolled and crawled in front of Ling Ruo and shouted in shock: "My Majesty, please don't! My Majesty, please spare your life, slave..."
"
Halfway through Zhong Shang's words, Cai Die ran in in a panic and said breathlessly: "It's not good, the master is not good!"
Seeing that she was about to get the answer she wanted from Zhong Shang, she was interrupted by Cai Die, who was quite unhappy, "What's all the fuss about?"
Taking advantage of the time just now, Cai Die took a few deep breaths to calm down her rapid breathing, but her face was still so panicked that she turned pale, "Ms. Jin Fei...Ms. Jin Fei is drowning!"
Ling Ruo's face suddenly turned pale, she clutched Cai Die's shoulders tightly, and said sternly: "Tell me again, what's wrong with Concubine Jin?"
Caidi endured the pain on her shoulder and repeated: "Concubine Jin drowned in Linyuan Pond."
Ling Ruo stared at her nervously, "How is sister? How is she? Is she alive or... or..." The word "death" at the end could not be said.
"I don't know. I only know that Concubine Jin has been rescued and sent to Xianfu Palace. I don't know the details." Before Cai Die finished speaking, Ling Ruo had already rushed out desperately, Shuixiu and Yang Hai hurriedly
He chased after him. As for Zhong Shang, after hesitating for a while, he also left quietly.
Along the way, Ling Ruo didn't care about the manners a noble concubine should have. She just ran as fast as she could, praying in her heart for Guarjia's safety.
Running like this, she quickly arrived at Xianfu Palace, but standing at the entrance of the palace, Ling Ruo didn't dare to go in. She was afraid...she was afraid of hearing bad news, afraid of hearing the news that Guarjia was no longer alive.
, I’m afraid that I will collapse when I hear it, I’m really scared!
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Ruo finally stepped forward with her stiff feet and walked in step by step, into the place that scared her...
Ling Ruo walked across the yard like a marionette. On the flat blue brick floor, wet traces of water could still be seen. The water should have dripped from her sister's body, but she didn't know whether her sister's body was cold or warm at that time.
This journey seemed as long as a lifetime. When she opened the palace door, all kinds of voices came towards her.
Voices, cries, footsteps...
She passed through the people who kept saluting her, and walked to Cong Xiang and Cong Yi who were crying silently, and said in a shy voice: "Where is her sister?"
She did not dare to ask whether Guarjia was alive or dead, because she was afraid of hearing the word she least wanted to hear.
Congyi raised his tear-stained face and sobbed: "I don't know. Doctor Xu is treating my master in the inner hall. If...if something happens to my master, I don't know what to do."
"It's okay, it will be okay." Ling Ruo held Congyi's hand hard, but her own hand was even colder than Congyi's.
During such an almost torturous wait, Ling Ruo finally saw Rong Yuan coming out, and rushed over and said nervously: "How is my sister? Is she okay? Is she okay? Is she..." Ling Ruo suddenly stopped speaking, and spoke in the distance.
After a while, he said with difficulty: "Sister...are you still alive?"
How could Rong Yuan not know how nervous she was about the Guarjia family? He immediately said warmly: "My Lady, don't be too nervous. Your Majesty, Concubine Jin, just drowned and fell into a coma. Her life is not in danger."
Hearing these words, Ling Ruo's nerves suddenly relaxed. She had no strength at all and fell to the ground. However, with a smile on her face, she murmured: "Sister, it's okay, too."
Okay, sister is fine!"
Shui Xiu and Yang Hai helped her up and sat down in the chair. Shui Xiu even took off her handkerchief and wiped Ling Ruo's tears, "Okay, it's okay. Master, please stop crying, be careful not to hurt yourself."
.”
"I'm happy, it doesn't matter." After stopping her tears, she said to Rong Yuan: "Sister, are you awake now? I want to go in and see her."
"Empress Jin is still in a coma. People can't tell when she will wake up. It may take a long time. I'd better go back and rest first. It won't be too late to come back when Imperial Concubine Jin wakes up."
"I'm fine, the most important thing is that Concubine Jin is still alive." At this point, Ling Ruo couldn't help crying again. She was really scared just now, afraid that she would hear bad news, or see a cold body.
Fortunately...fortunately her sister didn't leave her like this. As long as she was alive, it didn't matter even if her sister's illness could not be cured in her lifetime. In this world...there was nothing more important than being alive.
On the other side, Cong Xiang and Cong Yi were also crying with joy. When it came to worrying about the Guarjia family, they were no less worried than Ling Ruo.
Their cries also reminded Ling Ruo. He took a deep breath and said, "Come here, you two. I have something to ask."
Cong Xiang and the two looked at each other, sobbed and walked to Ling Ruo. The latter glanced at them and said, "Didn't I ask you two to take good care of your sister? How could she run to Linyuan Pond?
Drowning."
It was okay if she didn't ask, but when she asked, Congyi immediately knelt down and cried bitterly: "It's all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't look after my master, so I became like this. I deserve to die!"
Ling Ruo frowned and said, "Exactly what is going on, please explain it slowly."
