After comforting Hongzhan for a while, Yinzhen stared at Lingruo and said unhappily: "What's going on? Even if Hongzhan did something wrong, you can teach him well. Why use such an extreme method? He
After all, he is still a child."
Facing his questioning, Ling Ruo didn't explain anything and said directly: "Yes, what happened this time was indeed my fault that I made out of anger. I promise that I will not do it again next time."
However, listening to her words, Yinzhen frowned. He had been with Ling Ruo day and night, and he knew her temperament very well. He would never abuse Hongzhan. There must be a reason, "Tell me, what happened."
Why did you say the word 'Qiji'?"
Upon hearing this, Hongzhan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. In the past two days, he had understood what kind of mistake he had made in a moment of anger. If Huang Ama found out, he would definitely not forgive him lightly.
Ling Ruo glanced at Hongzhan and said, "It's no big deal. It's the sixth elder brother who was disobedient and left food all over the floor. When I saw him wasting food like this, I got angry and asked him to stand outside for punishment. However, I
I didn’t expect anything
It rained suddenly. In fact, I have been exempted from Hongzhan's punishment later, but unfortunately he is still sick." At this point, she knelt down and said: "I failed to take care of my sixth elder brother because of the entrustment of the emperor.
Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen didn't say anything, he just helped her up and said, "I believe you are sensible, but I don't want this to happen again. Do you understand?"
After Ling Ruo lowered his head and agreed, he said to Hong Zhan, who was in a daze: "Huang Ama still has some memorials that he has not finished reading. I will come to see you later. You can take good care of your health. Also, be obedient. Concubine Xi will take care of you alone."
It’s not easy with Jia Rou either, don’t deliberately anger her again, you know?”
Hongzhan's eyes swept over Ling Ruo's face, then he lowered his head and said, "Yes, I know."
After seeing Yinzhen off, Ling Ruo gave some instructions to the palace attendants before leaving. Hongzhan moved his lips several times, and finally said when she crossed the threshold: "You...why do you want to help me?"
Ling Ruo paused for a moment, but then walked out quickly. Just one sentence fell into Hong Zhan's ears, "As long as you are here in Chengqian Palace, I will treat you as my own child and be my mother-in-law."
Is there any problem with protecting my children?"
On ordinary days, Hongzhan would have shouted that he was not her son, but this time he remained silent, holding the thin brocade quilt on his body tightly with his little hands.
Just now, as long as she told the truth, Huang Ama would definitely blame herself in turn, but she took it all on her shoulders. Is she... really dedicated to protecting herself? No, no, she will fall.
It was all her fault that she was in this situation. How could she be so kind to defend herself? She must have another purpose, maybe she wanted to use this to win over her to please herself. Yes, that must be the case, he would never be fooled by her!
By the way, those letters are still with Jia Rou. While he is almost recovered from his illness, he quickly put the letters in the study.
Thinking of this, Hongzhan felt much better. He lifted up the quilt and jumped out of bed. The palace man quickly said: "Brother Six, your illness is not fully recovered yet. You can't go to the ground at will. Lie down quickly."
"I'm fine." Hongzhan was thinking about something in his mind, so he refused to continue lying on the bed. He put on his shoes and ran to Jiarou's house.
"Brother Six!" Jiarou was very happy to see him coming, and ran over and said: "Brother Six, are you recovered? I really want to see you, but my mother said that I will get sick too, so she won't let her.
I'll go."
Hongzhan winked and smiled: "Do you think I look sick now?"
"Then Brother Six will be able to play with me again in the future." Jiarou smiled so hard that her eyes turned into two small crescents. Hongzhan leaned into her ear and said, "Are those letters I gave you last time still there?
"
Jia Rou nodded vigorously and said softly: "Here, I'm keeping it well, no one knows. Because this is a secret between me and my sixth brother."
Hongzhan smiled and pinched Jiarou's round cheeks and said, "You're so good, can Brother Liu take you to catch cicadas tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Jiarou clapped her hands happily, "Brother Six, let's go catch it now, okay? Hurry up!"
"That won't work. The cage hasn't been built yet, and Brother Six still has things to do. He won't be free until tomorrow."
"Oh." Jiarou responded with some disappointment, but thinking that she could catch cicadas tomorrow made her happy again. At this time, Hongzhan ordered the palace people to retreat, and then said: "Jiarou, hurry up and get those letters
Give it to me, I can use it now."
Jia Rou responded, quickly took out the letter placed in the secret compartment and handed it to Hong Zhan, and then asked curiously: "Brother Six, what are you going to do with this letter?"
"You will know then." After receiving the letter in his arms, he had already left. He didn't know what he thought of, but turned back to Jia Rou and said solemnly: "I will definitely come to see you often in the future.
your."
"Even if Brother Six doesn't come to see me, I can still visit Brother Six!" Jia Rou smiled innocently, not understanding what Hong Zhan really meant was that he would leave Chengqian Palace.
Hongzhan didn't say anything more, and just left the place without going back to his own room. Instead, he quietly came outside Lingruo's bedroom. He knew that Lingruo's bedroom was connected to a small study room, where books and letters were kept.
Hongzhan glanced around and saw that there was no one there. He opened the door carefully and walked in. He soon arrived at the small study room and was about to put the letter in. Sanfu's words suddenly flashed in his mind, as well as Ling Ruo's presence in Yinzhen.
The scene in front of him of taking care of everything for him. In fact, in retrospect, during this period, she was not bad to herself. Although she often punished herself, except for the last time, the rest were just words and not really harsh.
Haru Wuqing. Is it really okay to do this by yourself?
No, she was simply pretending to be a good person in front of herself. In fact, she was very hateful. Otherwise, how could she have colluded with Uncle Seventeen and framed the emperor and her second brother? Yes, she was a bad person, and there was nothing wrong with what she did.
Thinking of this, Hong Zhan finally made up his mind and put the letter among Ling Ruo's stack of letters. After doing all this, he quietly slipped out and pretended as if nothing had happened.
On the way back to his house, Hongzhan held his little head in his hands and tried hard to think of how to let Xiao Ningzi know that he had put the letter away. Concubine Xi would never let him go to Huang's mother-in-law's place.
If you tell me, you might just lock yourself up. What should you do?
Hong Zhan thought in distress. After an unknown amount of time, he finally thought of a way. Concubine Cheng, she was much easier to talk to than Concubine Xi. If she could discuss it with her, maybe it would be possible.
Thinking of this, Hongzhan's steps suddenly felt much lighter. He quickly came to the main hall, only to find that Ling Ruo was not there. When he asked, he found out that she had gone to the small kitchen. He hurried over and heard Ling Ruo's voice before he entered the door.
The voice said, "Put less sugar in the Lian Zi Geng. Brother Six is in good health and is not suitable for eating anything too sweet. In addition, when I finish this Thousand-Flower Cake, I will send it to him as well."
