On the other side, Ling Ruo silently looked out the window at the pouring rain. The cold water vapor hit her face from time to time, dissipating the midsummer heat.
Shui Xiu collected her umbrella outside the palace and came in. She stood behind Ling Ruo and said, "Master, I have already completed the tasks you asked me to do. The imperial doctor has also looked at them and will try my best to repair their broken bones."
Ling Ruo nodded, but when she didn't say anything, Shui Xiu said tentatively: "Actually, Brother Six just lost his temper temporarily, and he didn't mean to beat them. Please forgive him this time. I feel that Brother Six has changed a lot."
Yes, after this lesson, he will surely realize his mistake, be considerate of the palace people in the future, and never make the same mistake again."
"Really?" Ling Ruo turned around and said in a cold voice: "I originally thought that Hongzhan had changed a lot, but today it seems that he is no different, and has even gotten worse. I am really ashamed to let him go on like this.
To Concubine Jin."
Shui Xiu sighed softly: "I know that you are dedicated to the good of Sixth Brother, but sometimes haste makes waste. After all, Sixth Brother is only a little old and doesn't understand many things. You have to take your time, too."
After that, it will easily make Brother Six become rebellious and hate you more and more, so why bother?"
"Didn't I teach him enough during this period? Not to mention a person, even a cow listened to it. You have seen the result. Today he can break their legs just for one breath.
In the future, I can also take their lives just for a breath. I promised Concubine Jin not to let Hongzhan become like Hongshi, so even if he will hate me for this, I must teach him how to behave.
Wrong right and wrong.”
"But look, it's raining so heavily outside now, and Brother Six is still so young. If you let him soak in the rain all night, how can he bear it? If he gets sick, you won't be the one who feels bad for him? Master, please do it again
Please forgive Brother Six once and spare him the punishment, okay?"
Raindrops continued to hit the trees in the courtyard and the ground, filling the world with the sound of falling rain. It even made people feel like there was only one sound left in the world.
Ling Ruo turned back and continued to look at the heavy rain outside the window, and said indifferently: "Although I punished him before, I didn't really force him to kneel. This time, it's time for him to learn a lesson."
"Master, why are you doing this? Please forgive me for saying something unpleasant. If Brother Six is ill and the Emperor blames him, how are you going to explain it to the Emperor? Moreover, the Empress will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and she may ask the Emperor to
The sixth elder brother was returned to her to raise. The sixth elder brother... is never your flesh and blood. If you want to teach him, there are too many constraints. Sometimes, although you do it for his own good, in other people's words, it becomes
It has become a frame-up and torture.”
Ling Ruo couldn't understand what Shuixiu said, but what Hongzhan did this time was so outrageous that she didn't know how to forgive him for his attitude of not treating human life as human life.
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, she advised again: "You can only give the Queen a chance by doing this. Master, think twice!"
Ling Ruo knew that Shui Xiu was right, so she was very conflicted in her heart. She didn't know whether she should forgive Hong Zhan this time. At this time, Shui Xiu said: "If the master is afraid that going back on his word will make people laugh, then let the slave step in and act as the slave."
Disobeying the master, I exempted the sixth elder brother from punishment, and the master will punish the slave afterwards."
Ling Ruo laughed dumbly, "When did I fall to the point where I need you to cover up for me?"
Shui Xiu waved her hands repeatedly and said, "This is not what I mean. I am just afraid that my master will attract criticism, so I suggest this."
Ling Ruo raised her hand and said, "Okay, you can accompany me for a walk."
Hearing this, Shui Xiu felt happy. She quickly went out to get an umbrella, and then helped Ling Ruo walk to Hong Zhan. The rain was too heavy, and before she could get there, Ling Ruo's shoes decorated with fine gold beads and
The hem of her skirt was soaked. Although Shui Xiu was holding a Western tribute glass lamp in her hand, so that the candle inside would not be affected by wind and rain, the dim light could only illuminate an area of one foot in radius.
Shuixiu looked around with the glass lamp in hand, and finally saw a vague figure, and said quickly: "Master, they are there, this slave has seen them."
Ling Ruo nodded and walked over with Shui Xiu. When they got closer, they realized that Yang Hai was holding Hong Zhan in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other. He was standing alone in the yard, his lower body had been soaked by the rain, and he was tight.
Close to the body.
With the light in Shuixiu's hand, Yang Hai also saw Ling Ruo. Before Ling Ruo could ask questions, he hurriedly came up to him and said, "Master, it's none of Sixth Brother's business. I'm just here to see that Sixth Brother is tired."
You couldn't help but pick him up, don't blame Sixth Brother."
Ling Ruo nodded and saw Hongzhan lying motionless on Yang Hai's shoulder, and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Yang Haidao: "Well, I just hugged him and fell asleep. He must be tired."
Ling Ruo stroked Hongzhan's little head and said, "In that case, you can take him in and sleep."
Yang Hai didn't expect to hear such a sentence and said in surprise: "You...won't you punish Brother Six?"
Before Ling Ruo could say anything, Shui Xiu had already winked and said, "Master has told you to carry Brother Six in. Why is there so much nonsense? Go quickly." She was afraid that Ling Ruo would change his mind, so she kept urging him.
Yang Hai understood Shuixiu's eyes and said quickly: "Then slaves will carry Brother Six in now." As soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed several times and his body trembled. Although it is midsummer now, in such a big city
Standing in the rain for half a day still makes me feel chilly.
Ling Ruo saw it and said, "Go quickly. I will ask the kitchen to make some ginger tea later. You can drink one when the time comes."
"Thank you, Master." Yang Hai hurriedly carried Hong Zhan in, and then quickly ran out and said to Ling Ruo, who was about to leave: "Master, it's not good, Sixth Brother seems to have a fever."
Ling Ruo was startled and walked in quickly. Hongzhan was lying on the bed. Most of his body was wet. He stretched out his hand and tried it on his forehead. He found that he was indeed a little hot and his hands were cold. It was very likely that he would feel worse if he looked like this.
After burning it, she immediately ordered Yang Hai to invite the imperial doctor. She changed Hongzhan's clothes with her own hands, then took the cold water brought by Shuixiu, wetted the towel and put it on Hongzhan's forehead.
After doing all this, Ling Ruo sat by the bed and looked at Hong Zhan's face, which was only as big as a palm. Fortunately, she listened to Shui Xiu's advice and came over to take a look. Otherwise, she didn't know what would have happened. She held Hong Zhan's hand coldly
He raised his little hand and muttered to himself: "Hongzhan, Hongzhan, how can I make you understand? Maybe you will never understand in this life, and you will only think that I am a evil person."
