"Really? I thought you no longer liked my tea." At this point, Nala suppressed his smile and said: "Zhong Shang, you are from me, but now you dare to
You lied in front of me, what a great skill."
Zhong Shang heard something was wrong and quickly knelt down and said, "I don't dare!"
Nala stared at him and said without any pretense: "Since you don't dare, let's tell the truth. What did Imperial Concubine Xi say to you in the past, and how many things did you tell her?"
Zhong Shang's mouth was full of bitterness. Now he was really two-faced and didn't know what to do. But if he didn't tell the truth, La Shi would definitely not be able to explain it to him.
Seeing that he remained silent, Nala sneered and said: "I have been fighting with Concubine Xi for more than twenty years. Don't I know her temper? She will not do useless things. Since she dares to pass you the second
, I must have some confidence, have you betrayed me?"
Zhong Shang shook his head hurriedly, "No, I did not betray the empress, but the matter of Lushan Yunwu Tea must have been hidden, because Concubine Xi has found the booklet that recorded the tea obtained by Concubine Jing ten years ago."
Nala stood up suddenly and stared at Zhong Shang in disbelief: "What are you talking about, a booklet from ten years ago?"
"Yes, the book records the Lushan Yunwu Tea that Princess Jing received in the 58th year of Kangxi's reign. According to the record above, even if all the tea leaves are given to the slaves, it will not be enough for these few months, so... even if
If I don't tell you, I won't be able to keep this matter secret for long."
Nala said sternly, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The case files from ten years ago have disappeared long ago. How could she find them? They must be forgeries."
Zhong Shang said solemnly: "I have seen that booklet. It has an old meaning and it doesn't look like a forgery."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Nala said while walking back and forth in the room. This matter has always been under her control, but now there are variables that she did not expect.
Such a small variable would ruin her entire plan, and even her could fall into it.
After walking back and forth for a few times, Nala suddenly walked up to Zhong Shang, stared at him and said, "How much have you talked to Concubine Xi?"
Zhong Shang shook his head repeatedly, "My servant said nothing." He did not dare to tell the truth. If Nala knew that he had planned to tell the truth, he would definitely not let him go.
"It's best to tell the truth." After snorting, Nala thought carefully about what Zhong Shang just said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was so unreasonable that the case files from ten years ago could exist. It was probably Niu Hulu.
The envoy's plan.
Thinking of this, she said to Zhong Shang, who was still kneeling on the ground: "If you don't want this life, or even the lives of your family, you can tell Concubine Xi about this, and I will not stop you."
How could Zhong Shang not hear the coldness in Nala's words? He quickly said: "I don't dare to betray you. Even if I die, I don't dare to betray your empress. It's just that Concubine Xi has that booklet in her hand. I'm afraid she will do it sooner or later..."
Nala said coldly: "I will find a way in that book. All you have to do is to control your mouth, don't say anything you shouldn't say, and go on."
After Zhong Shang left, Xiao Ningzi whispered: "Master, although Zhong Shang said he would not do it, he was influenced by that booklet after all. If you want him to shut up completely, the best way is to
..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Nala sighed softly and said: "I don't know, but at this juncture, it is really not appropriate to take action."
Xiao Ningzi also understood Nala's concerns, hesitated for a moment and said, "But this slave is always a little worried."
"What I just said should be able to shock him for the time being. As for what happens next..." Nala smiled coldly, "Niu Hulu will soon be overwhelmed with care for himself. How can he have time to pay attention to Zhong Shang?"
." With that said, she stretched out her hand towards Xiao Ningzi and said: "The show at Yongshou Palace should be about to start, help me over quickly."
At the same time, Ling Ruo had arrived at the Yongshou Palace. Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Liu quickly helped Jin Gu to stand up, and said with a panic look on her face: "I would like to pay my respects to you, my queen. Why are you here?"
Ling Ruo looked her over and said indifferently: "I just went to Xianfu Palace."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu quickly said: "How is Concubine Jin? I went to visit Concubine Jin before. I just said a few words. I don't know what happened. Concubine ran out. Concubine quickly followed.
, but halfway through, I sprained my foot and had to come back. I just wanted Haitang to go out and make inquiries to see if Congyi had caught up with Concubine Jin."
Ling Ruoliang smiled and said: "I can't see that Liu promised to care so much about Concubine Jin. I thought Liu promised to be prejudiced against Concubine Jin because of the sixth elder brother's matter."
"In the final analysis, the blame for this matter is that I did something wrong first. I didn't do a good job as a mother. How can I blame others?" Ms. Liu said very sincerely. If someone who didn't know heard it, it would really make her feel sad.
She lied to him.
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't even care about Concubine Jin's beating of Brother Six? That's your biological son."
Mrs. Liu glanced at her quickly and said: "I am naturally sad, but when I went there today and saw Concubine Jin acting crazy, I understood that Concubine Jin hit Hong by mistake because of her confusion.
It was not intentional. If she wakes up, she will feel guilty. Alas, how can I care about it anymore?"
Ling Ruo smiled half-heartedly and said: "But I am very curious as to what exactly Liu promised to say to Concubine Jin, so that Concubine Jin ran out desperately, ran to Linyuan Pond and drowned without telling her."
Ms. Liu pretended to be surprised and said: "What? Concubine Jin drowned. Is she okay? Does it matter?"
"Fortunately, Congyi found someone to save her, so it didn't cause a big disaster." At this point, Ling Ruo changed the subject and said, "Liu promised not to tell me yet, what exactly did you say to Concubine Jin?
?”
Mrs. Liu said with an aggrieved look: "I didn't say anything, I just comforted Concubine Jin for a few words. As for why she ran out, I really don't know."
"You made Concubine Jin run to Linyuan Pond, but you didn't let the palace attendants follow you. However, you sprained your foot again on the way. Is all this a coincidence?" Ling Ruo once again showed the same coldness as when he was in Xianfu Palace.
Eyes: "Is it also a coincidence that Concubine Jin was pushed into the water?"
Mrs. Liu didn't expect that she would suddenly say such words, and said in a panic: "Push into the water? This... how is this possible? I... I don't know anything."
Ling Ruo said solemnly: "Liu promised to have the audacity to set up such a trap to take Concubine Jin's life, but why didn't he dare to admit it when it came to the end?"
