Wei Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "I don't dare to take credit. In fact, in the final analysis, the emperor and his master have a deep love. No one can break this relationship."
Mingyu took it seriously and said: "Yes, I am the emperor's lifelong wife. No one can separate me from the emperor, not even Nala Xianyue, nor the Queen Mother!"
Wei Jingxuan showed a flawless smile, "Yes, your marriage is destined, and no one can separate you and the emperor. However, the most important thing for you now is to finish drinking the medicine, so that the disease will be cured as soon as possible. If the emperor knows
If I don't serve you well, I will definitely punish you."
The words just now made Mingyu feel very good. With Wei Jingxuan's hand, he quickly drank up the medicine, and then drank half a bowl of porridge.
At the same time, Hongli knelt in front of Ling Ruo and begged Ling Ruo over and over again to release Mingyu's restraint.
Ling Ruo said with an ugly face: "What the Ai family just said yesterday, has the emperor forgotten it today?"
"I haven't..." Before Hongli finished speaking, Ling Ruo said: "If you haven't forgotten, why are you kneeling here to beg for help?"
Hongli lowered his eyes and said: "The reason why I beg you is because I know that the queen has really realized her mistake and asked the queen to give her another chance."
Ling Ruo sneered: "Didn't the Ai family and the emperor give her enough opportunities? Shuiyue or Yonglian, which one was not? As for the result, did she cherish it? No, she still went her own way until she committed an unforgivable sin.
.Emperor, if you were not willing to take care of her, the phoenix crown on her head would have been taken off long ago!"
Facing her accusations every word, Hongli was speechless. After a long time, he continued: "I know, but once you make a mistake, it does not mean you will be wrong for the rest of your life. Is it too arbitrary for Huang Eniang to say this?
?”
"Is the Ai family arbitrary?" Ling Ruo said sarcastically: "I'm afraid the emperor has been blinded and has difficulty distinguishing the truth from the false."
"No matter what, please ask the emperor to release the empress from the ground." In response to Hongli's words, Ling Ruo waved her sleeves and said: "The emperor is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He can just do whatever he wants. Why bother to ask this old woman from the Ai family."
Seeing that Ling Ruo was angry, Hongli hurriedly said: "Huang'e Niang, please calm down. Huang'e Niang is the biological mother of my son. I never dare to show any disrespect to Huang'e Niang. I also want to invite Huang'e Niang to visit me again."
Give the Queen a chance. As the saying goes, no one is a sage, and no one can make mistakes. As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, that is the greatest kindness. Queen Mother, you have always been compassionate and gave many people a chance. Please give the Queen a chance too.
.”
Ling Ruo looked at Hongli who was kneeling to beg for her, feeling angry and annoyed. She knew that Hongli was extremely filial by nature. If she didn't say this, he wouldn't dare to let Mingyu go, but he would keep kneeling to beg for her until
Until you let go.
After all, Hongli was her biological son and Hongli was extremely filial. How could she not be her most beloved son? How could she bear to let her child kneel down?
After a long time, she let out a long sigh and said: "What a sin, it's really a sin, that's all. After the queen recovers from her illness, you can bring her to see the Ai family."
Xu Mingyu's coming to Cining Palace was equivalent to releasing Mingyu's ban in disguise. Hongli was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. After he stood up, Ling Ruohu said: "Emperor, do you remember what you said a year ago?"
Hongli couldn't guess what Ling Ruo meant for a moment, so he respectfully said, "I wonder which sentence Huang Eniang is referring to?"
"Once the queen makes another mistake, she will be deposed from the throne!" In Hongli's face, Ling Ruo said coldly: "Could the emperor have told the Ai family that he has already forgotten it? Or maybe he will come again when the time comes.
Please ask the Ai family to let the queen go?"
Hongli knew that Ling Ruo was forcing him to remember what he had said before. This time was Ling Ruo's last tolerance for Mingyu, and there would be no next time.
Hongli gritted his teeth and said: "I understand that I will definitely do what I say and will never violate it."
"Okay! Please step back." After watching Hongli leave, Ling Ruo called Shui Xiu and said, "Go and ask Concubine Xian to come over. The Ai family has something to say to her."
Xianyue followed Shuixiu to Cining Palace. Before she could bow her knees and salute, Ling Ruo said, "Your Majesty, please help Ai's family to go to the Royal Garden for a walk."
"Yes." Xianyue agreed and helped Ling Ruo all the way to the Royal Garden, because in the middle of winter, apart from evergreen trees, there were only a few seasonal flowers. Although the gardener tried his best to take care of them, there were still many flowers.
It cannot be compared with spring.
Ling Ruo looked around and said, "It's a pity that we can't see the beauty of the peach blossoms in bloom."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "The peach blossoms only bloom in March. You can't see them now. But wait until next spring, Huang's mother will be able to see the beautiful scenery she wants to see."
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said: "The flowers have fallen, but they will bloom again next year. This is the case every year. In fact, flowers are like this, and people are like this. What you want to see will eventually be met. Don't you think so, noble concubine?"
Xianyue met her gaze and said, "Is Huang'e Niang talking about the queen?"
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and said, "You know everything?"
Xianyue smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty stayed in Kunning Palace all night. How could I not know this?" After a pause, she said again: "I wonder how the Queen's illness is?"
"It's nothing serious. She'll be fine after taking the medicine for a few days. But the emperor has decided to pardon her grounding. It should only be a matter of a day or two." Ling Ruo walked a few steps holding a flat gold hand warmer and said: "
The Ai family knows about the knot between you and the queen, but the Ai family hopes that the concubine can put the overall situation first, and the Ai family does not want the harem to be unrest all day long."
Xianyue endured the astringency in her heart and said: "I know that I will obey the emperor's mother-in-law, but if it is the queen..."
"The Queen's Ai family will tell you, so you can rest assured." After saying this, Ling Ruo changed the subject and said, "How old is the eldest brother this year?"
Xianyue lowered her eyes and said, "If I return to the emperor's mother-in-law, she is already twelve years old."
"Twelve years old..." Ling Ruo murmured softly: "It's so fast, twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it has been five years since the late emperor left the Ai family."
Xianyue knew that she was thinking about Yinzhen again, and comforted her: "I feel that the late emperor never left Huang's mother, but only existed in another way that we can't see. Don't be sad, Huang's mother."
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "You don't have to comfort Aijia. If you leave, you are leaving. And Aijia will live well according to the late emperor's wishes until the moment God wants Aijia to close its eyes." After a moment, she said
: "You have raised my eldest brother very well in the past few years. Although he is not very smart, he is better than filial piety and courtesy."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I just gave you a little guidance. In the final analysis, my eldest brother is pure and kind in nature and values love and righteousness."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Okay, next year the eldest brother will be thirteen years old, and it happens to be the election year next year. You can see if there are any suitable girls among the young ladies. If so, you might as well take over for the eldest brother."
The marriage will be settled, and then the marriage will be consummated when he can open his teeth and build a house."
