This was exactly what Xiao Ningzi wanted, because it would take time for Hongzhan to secretly put the letter in the study, but there was a sad look on his face, "But if the slave comes out to find the master like this, the Queen will definitely not trust the slave again."
If you go back, this slave will only die."
Ling Ruo pressed her aching temple and said coldly: "Are you so afraid of the queen?"
Xiao Ningzi smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't dare to hide it from my master. The Queen is decisive and ruthless in her actions. I have followed her all these years and watched with my own eyes. How can I not be afraid?"
Ling Ruo frowned and said: "But what if you don't go back? Do you want to stay here in this palace? The queen will really not let you go."
Xiao Ningzi said: "The slave is not afraid. As long as the master's plan succeeds, the queen will no longer be the queen. The slave has nothing to be afraid of."
"But if you stay here, the Queen will know that I am dealing with her, and the long-planned plan will probably come to nothing. Is this what you want to see?" After speaking, Ling Ruo's voice gradually became stern,
Xiao Ningzi hurriedly said: "I don't want to do it, but I really can't think of a way. I ask the master to be merciful and show me a way."
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I will accompany you to Kunning Palace."
Xiao Ningzi said in astonishment: "This...this...doesn't this clearly tell the queen that the slave is related to the master?"
"That's not necessarily true. What will you say when you see it? But if you just hide in my palace like this, you will really tell the queen about the relationship between me and you." After that, Ling Ruo stood up holding the armrest.
Sanfu said from the side: "Master, you have been tired all night and haven't closed your eyes, so you should take a rest before going."
Ling Ruo waved her hands and said, "I'm fine. Sanfu, please stay here and pay attention to Brother Six. Just let Yang Hai and Shui Xiu accompany me there."
Xiao Ningzi was secretly shocked, Sixth Brother...what happened to him? Could it be that he was also suspected by Concubine Xi? Those letters should not have been found, otherwise Concubine Xi would have eaten her alive by now; but if this was not the case,
Why did she ask Sanfu to pay attention to Brother Six?
The news about Hongzhan is still confined to Chengqian Palace and has not been spread, so Xiao Ningzi has never heard of it.
Ling Ruo took Xiao Ningzi all the way to Kunning Palace. Because of the heavy rain last night, it was not hot today, and there was even a hint of coolness in the air. Along the way, Ling Ruo and Xiao Ningzi explained a lot to Kunning Palace.
Xiao Ningzi remembered everything the empress should say.
Seeing Ling Ruo and Xiao Ningzi come in, Nala's expression immediately changed. He stared at Xiao Ningzi and said coldly: "You dog slave really betrayed me, you deserve to die!"
Xiao Ningzi knelt down with a mournful face and said, "I don't have you. My dear, just trust me. I have been with you for so many years. How could I betray you?"
Nala shouted sternly: "That's nice to say. If you hadn't betrayed me, why would you have gone to find her? You are such a wolf-hearted slave!" After that, she said to Ling Ruo, who was standing aside without saying anything, "I want you to go to her."
Punish this dog slave, Wu Xia, talk to Concubine Xi, and please go back first."
Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said, "I have nothing to do when I go back. Why don't you stay here and watch how your Majesty punishes this unfaithful slave?"
Her words made Nala frown, and then she said: "I thought that Concubine Xi would plead for Xiao Ningzi, but why..."
Ling Ruo deliberately said with a smile that took pleasure in others' misfortune: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. I hate unfaithful slaves the most, so how could I plead for him?" Yi Chenconcubine said, "My Majesty's punishment before was too light, like this"
This slave should be beaten to death directly."
Nala stared at her and said, "What Concubine Xi said is really strange. Isn't it because of Concubine Xi that Xiao Ningzi betrayed me? You, the new master, don't protect him?"
Ling Ruomanran smiled and said: "I don't quite understand what the empress said. I only know that as a slave, the most important thing is loyalty. If you lose this, you will be nothing, and it will be nothing to regret if you die."
Yes. Your Majesty, you don’t need to be afraid that there will be no one around to serve you. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a few more palace servants over later."
Nala said suspiciously: "Why do I look at Concubine Xi as if I can't wait to get rid of Xiao Ningzi?"
Ling Ruo said aggrievedly: "I can't wait any longer. I just saw that the empress was so angry and helped me to say a few words. If the empress didn't want to listen, I just didn't say anything. But Xiao Ningzi, a slave with a sly look, watched
It’s not a good thing, it would have been better to have disposed of it earlier.”
Nala looked coldly and said: "Concubine Xi, I don't need to worry about my affairs. Concubine Xi, please come back."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Ling Ruo looked a little disappointed when she bowed her head in salute.
After she left, Nala motioned to Xiao Ningzi to get up and said: "If I am really suspicious of you, her attitude just now will not only deepen my suspicion, but will also make me think that she wants to borrow money from me."
I will kill you with my hands."
Xiao Ningzi said: "Returning to the master, this is what Concubine Xi told the slave, using this method to dispel the master's suspicion."
Nala smiled coldly and said, "It seems like her suspicion of you has been dispelled."
Xiao Ningzi nodded, and then said: "I just heard that Concubine Xi ordered Sanfu to take good care of the sixth elder brother. I wonder if something happened to the sixth elder brother. He is our most critical step now, and nothing can happen.
.”
"I will ask people to inquire about this. Before the final preparations are made, you should stay in the palace to recuperate. This cruel trick will also wrong you."
Xiao Ningzi heard this and said quickly: "It is my honor to be able to run errands for my master. There is no grievance. Besides, Imperial Concubine Xi threatened the slave's family to force the slave to harm the master. Even if the slave dies, she must not let her take advantage of it."
My heart is happy.”
Nala smiled and said, "I know your loyalty, so go down and rest."
After the Nala clan sent palace officials to inquire around, they finally found out about Hong Zhan. To this, she just smiled and said nothing.
Sun Mo waited for a long time but didn't see Nala speak, so he couldn't help but said: "Master, do you want to go and see Brother Six like this?"
"What did you do?" Nala glanced at him and said, "Not to mention whether Niu Hulu will let me see Hongzhan. Even if I do, what can I do? I can't bring him back."
After a moment of pause, she added: "If you spread this matter, it must be spread to everyone in the palace, especially the emperor."
Sun Mo agreed and hurried down to do things. On the second day, many people in the palace were discussing the matter. Yinzhen also heard about it and hurried to Chengqian Palace to visit Hongzhan. As soon as he saw him, Hongzhan
He cried bitterly and kept saying bad things about Ling Ruo, saying that Ling Ruo let him soak in the rain all night and made him sick and uncomfortable.
