A'luo half-draged and half-pushed Yong Lian out of the palace. At this time, Yong Lian's small mouth had already dropped in grievance. A'luo couldn't bear to look at it, squatted down and said: "Second brother, don't be sad, go back quickly.
Don't keep the Queen waiting."
Yong Lian said with red eyes: "A Luo, did I do something that made the empress unhappy, so she ignored me?"
"No, it's..." A Luo didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only say: "You are too young now and don't understand many things. You will know when you are older, so don't be unhappy."
After Yong Lian reluctantly left with the palace people, A Luo shook his head secretly. With the Queen Mother's words, the master would never dare to have contact with the second elder brother again during this period of time.
Yonglian returned to Kunning Palace dejectedly. Mingyu happened to be standing under the eaves, looking at several pots of camellias and poinsettias newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he saw Yonglian coming over, he waved and said: "Yonglian, come and have a look, are these flowers good?"
nice?"
Yong Lian didn't want to look at the flowers, so he walked over and called out in a low voice, "Empress Huang."
Mingyu noticed something strange about Yonglian and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Didn't you go to see Concubine Xian? Why are you looking like this?"
Yong Lian threw herself into Ming Yu's arms and said sadly: "Empress Huang, Concubine Xian said she would never accompany her son to feed the cat again."
Mingyu asked strangely: "Why is this?"
Yong Lian shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Concubine Xian asked Erchen very strangely if he told the imperial grandmother about feeding the cat. Erchen said no, but the empress still seemed very angry and kept urging him.
My son left and told me not to go to Yanxi Palace in the future. Emperor's mother, did my son do something wrong?" The more he spoke, the sadder he became, his face sank, and he looked like he would shed tears at any time.
Mingyu quickly looked back at Shuiyue, and then comforted Yonglian and said: "No, you did nothing wrong. Concubine Xian was joking with you. It's okay. You go back to the house first, Concubine Huang'e will come over later.
Accompany you."
After Yonglian left, Mingyu turned around and said coldly: "Shuiyue, come in, I have something to ask you."
Shuiyue had already guessed what Mingyu was going to ask. After agreeing, she turned back and entered. As soon as she stood still, Mingyu's voice came to her ears, "Did you tell the Queen Mother about Concubine Xian and Yonglian?"
Shui Yue knew that she couldn't hide it, so she simply admitted: "Yes, the slave told the master that Concubine Xian approached the second elder brother on purpose and did not really treat the second elder brother well. However, the master did not believe it and allowed the second elder brother to get along with her.
I was afraid that my second elder brother would be harmed, so I had to report this matter to the Queen Mother!"
Mingyu said angrily: "Who asked you to do this?" Before Shuiyue could speak, she said again: "Or maybe I should ask you if you still think of me as your master?"
Seeing that he was angry, Shui Yue said quickly: "I never dare to disrespect my master. I do this for the sake of my master and my second elder brother."
Mingyu said coldly: "That's enough, I don't want to hear this anymore. I am not a three-year-old child. I know what is right and wrong. There is no need for you to make decisions for me every time. You only need to do your duty."
Just let it happen, I don’t want this to happen again, do you understand?”
"Master, I know that you don't like this, but everyone in the palace wears a mask. What you see may not be true, especially Concubine Xian. This person has bad intentions from the beginning. You must not
Defend!"
Mingyu thought that after she said those words, Shuiyue would agree. Unexpectedly, she actually said such words. She couldn't help but get angry and scolded: "How many times have I told you,
Concubine Xian has no ill intentions towards me or Yong Lian, otherwise she wouldn’t have helped Yong Lian everywhere, why don’t you believe it?”
Shui Yue said sincerely: "It's not that I don't believe it, but that I know more about Concubine Xian's character than you do. Don't forget that her surname is Nala."
Before she finished speaking, Mingyu said coldly: "I know, after all, you are still prejudiced against Concubine Xian. I want to ask you a question, if something like this happens again in the future, will you still do it?"
Will you talk too much?"
Shui Yue lowered her head and said: "I am here to serve and take care of my master under the orders of the Queen Mother. If anything goes against my master, I will definitely not stand by and watch."
Mingyu said with an ugly face: "In other words, you can still talk too much?!"
Shui Yue sighed softly and said: "Master, everything I have done is for the good of the master. Why would the master rather believe in Concubine Xian than in this slave?"
Mingyu raised his hand and said expressionlessly: "Okay, I understand everything now, and you don't need to serve me here anymore."
Shuiyue never expected that Mingyu would say such a sentence, and said in shock: "Master, do you want to drive this slave away?"
Mingyu said coldly: "Yes, I don't need to keep a slave who is not loyal to me."
"But this servant is here to serve you on the order of the Queen Mother. You..." Before Shui Yue finished speaking, Mingyu said: "You don't need to remind me all the time. I will naturally tell the Queen Mother myself about this matter.
"
At this point, there was nothing left to say to each other. Shuiyue said helplessly: "Yes, I will resign. I will not be with you from now on. Please take care of yourself."
Mingyu ignored her, and after Shuiyue left Kunning Palace, she said: "Help me go to Yanxi Palace."
The palace attendant whispered: "Master, it's better to go to Cining Palace first. Otherwise, if Shui Yue takes the lead, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to explain."
Mingyu was still angry and said: "What happened this time was Shui Yue's fault first. If there is anything difficult to explain, I don't believe that she can confuse right and wrong in front of the Queen Mother and accuse me of wrongdoing."
The palace people did not dare to say anything, but after stepping out of the palace gate, Mingyu finally went to Cining Palace first. When he got there, he saw that Shuiyue was already there, with red eyes, as if he had just cried.
Ling Ruo was sitting in the chair, with a calm face, and slowly moved the beads in his hand. It was hard to tell what his mood was.
Mingyu put his hands on his waist, knelt down and said, "My son, I would like to pay my respects to the Emperor's mother. May the Emperor's mother be blessed."
Ling Ruo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Show the Queen her seat."
As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, someone from the palace came in with an embroidered pier. After Mingyu sat down, Ling Ruo said again: "The queen is here, presumably because of Shui Yue. Just now, Shui Yue has roughly communicated with the Ai family.
I told you, because she told the Aijia about Concubine Xian’s secret meeting with the second elder brother, you felt that she was not loyal to you, so you kicked her out of Kunning Palace, right?"
Mingyu lowered his head and said: "Returning to Huang's mother, there is actually nothing that cannot be said about this matter. Shuiyue wants to report to Huang's mother, which is fine, but she is the person next to my son, and she should do everything she wants.
I told Erchen, but she didn't, which shows that she doesn't see Erchen as her master at all."
