A Luo knelt down and said, "I am a weak servant and cannot avenge Concubine Xian, so I boldly ask the pure concubine to do this favor for me."
"You are the person close to Concubine Xian. As long as she is not suspicious, it will be easy for you to take revenge on her. Even..." Su lowered her voice and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hand to want her to die. Why bother?"
I’ll help you.”
Before A Luo could speak, Cai Ling had already waved her hands in a hurry and said: "No, my dear, sister A Luo can't do this, otherwise she will die."
Su Shi nodded and said: "I understand. I want Concubine Xian's life, but I don't want anything to happen to me, so I came to me for help. But A Luo, please give me a reason why I should help you."
.”
A Luo met her inquiring eyes and said: "Of course the empress has no reason to help the slave, but the empress also has no reason not to help herself. No one knows the feud between the empress and Concubine Xian better than the slave. The hatred of the slap and the instigation
I believe that the empress will never forget it in this life. And as long as Concubine Xian is here, I believe that you will not have a good life."
Su's cheeks twitched, and then she said with a nonchalant smile: "What you said makes some sense, but how do I know whether what you are saying is true or false? What if... all of this was staged by you and Concubine Xian?
After just one scene, have I fallen into your trap?"
A Luo's expression changed, and he raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, do you think this slave will make a show out of your mother's death?"
Cai Ling also said from the side: "Madam, I can testify that everything is true. Sister Aluo didn't act or use any tricks. Her mother is really dead." Seeing that Su didn't speak, she
He became more and more anxious and said, "You believe me, my slave. What I say is true, not a single word is false."
Mrs. Su ignored her and just stared at A Luo, who slowly said: "If your Majesty insists on doubting me, I have no choice but to leave!"
Just when A Luo was about to step out of the threshold, Su's voice finally reached his ears, "Okay, I believe you."
A Luo was not happy because of her agreement. He only felt a tightness in his chest. After taking this step, she could not look back, and her relationship with Xianyue was completely over. She didn't want this, it was Xianyue
, it was Xianyue who forced her to this point.
A Luo took a deep breath and forced himself not to think about these things. He turned around and saluted Su, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Madam."
Mrs. Su picked up the tea on the small table, handed it to A Luo and said: "After drinking this cup of tea, you will become a member of this palace, and we will get rid of Concubine Xian together!"
A Luo nodded and raised his slightly trembling hand to take the tea cup, but because his hands were unsteady, he spilled the tea and the back of his hand was burned red.
Seeing this, Cai Ling said nervously: "Sister A'luo, how are you doing? Do you feel any pain? I'll get you some medicine."
As soon as Cai Ling took a step, she was stopped by Su Shi, "Let Tang Jiu get it, you don't know where the medicine is."
Cai Ling was startled, and then she said politely: "What the Queen is saying is that when I saw Sister A Luo being injured, I panicked and thought it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Please forgive me."
"It's okay." After Tang Jiu brought the ointment, Su Shi personally applied the ointment on A Luo and said, "Okay, it's just a little redder, so it shouldn't be a big deal. You go back first to avoid Concubine Xian getting suspicious. As for dealing with it,
Concubine Xian's affairs must be planned carefully, and I will go to you after I have an idea." After A'luo agreed, she warned: "Remember, don't reveal your true identity in front of Concubine Xian, otherwise you will be in trouble.
Her temperament will never let you go."
"I know, I'm resigning." With that said, she and Cai Ling exited the Yikun Palace. On the way back to the Yanxi Palace, Cai Ling whispered: "Sister, can you go back now? Otherwise, I
Let me walk with you a little longer."
A Luo stopped and glanced at Cai Ling's face. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene where she burned her hand just now and Cai Ling said she was going to get ointment. For some reason, she always felt a little weird.
Seeing her staring at her without speaking, Cai Ling asked strangely: "Sister, what are you looking at? Is my face dirty?"
A Luo looked away and said casually: "No, too many things have happened in the past two days. I am completely groggy and don't know what I am doing."
"I know who would be like this if it were my sister, but what happened has already happened. The only thing my sister can do is to avenge my aunt so that she can rest in peace."
A Luo's eyes flashed, and then he nodded and said: "I know, Cai Ling, thank you. Fortunately, you are always by my side. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
Cai Ling said quickly: "Sister, please don't say thank you. All this is what I should do. Although Auntie is gone now and Concubine Xian is like that, you still have me, and I will always be by your side to help you."
A Luo nodded vigorously, and after bidding farewell to Cai Ling, returned to Yikun Palace. Xianyue did not ask her where she had been just now, and only said: "If you still feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."
A Luo stared at Xianyue with a complicated expression. No one knew what she was thinking. Seeing her standing there motionless, Xianyue said: "What's wrong? Is there anything else? Why do I think you go out and come back?"
After that, everyone felt weird."
A Luo gritted his teeth and said, "This slave has something to say to his master alone."
"Alone?" Although Xia Yue thought A Luo's request was strange, she still asked Qi Kuan and Zhi Chun to go down. Except for the two of them, no one knew what they said inside.
In the days that followed, everything went as usual. After Ah Luo left the palace to see Wang's funeral the next day, he never left the palace again. He stayed in Yanxi Palace every day and did what he should do. The only change was
She spoke a lot less, almost never took the initiative to talk to others, and her smile was even more difficult to see. Qi Kuan and others only said that she was still sad about Wang's death in an accident. Apart from some words of comfort, they didn't know what to say.
What.
Summer started in April, and by May, the weather was already very hot. All the palaces and courtyards had used ice, except Yikun Palace. It was not that the Su family did not want to use it, but that someone used it in various ways.
The reasons for holding back the ice cubes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs made Tang Jiu return without success every time.
After Tang Jiu returned empty-handed again, Ying'er said angrily: "What does Concubine Hui want? Does she want to not let the master use ice this summer? It's really too much. In the final analysis, she is just an assistant in charge of the harem.
Aren't you afraid that the master will sue the Queen?"
Mrs. Su waved her fan and said, "Even if I really get close to the Empress, according to the Empress's temperament, I will only reprimand you a few words at most, and it will not hurt Mrs. Gao at all."
Ying'er thought for a moment and said, "Then report it to the emperor. I don't believe she can cover the sky with one hand."
