That night, it started to rain at three o'clock, and it gradually cleared up at midnight the next day. Seeing that the rain had stopped, Guarjia thought of going for a walk to Wen Ruyan's place. When passing by a side road, he accidentally
Suddenly he saw several eunuchs leading a woman in front of him; these eunuchs also
That's all. The woman's back looked familiar to Guarjia, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. She stopped and thought for a while and then remembered that it seemed to be Yilan. Then when she looked again,
Those who were still in front of him had already turned around and disappeared.
It’s strange, why did Yilan appear in the palace? Could it be that Ling Ruo introduced her to the palace?
Thinking like this, she turned around and went to Chengqian Palace instead. When she got there, she saw Ling Ruo wearing a haze-colored flag uniform standing under the eaves. The rain last night wiped out the two cherry blossoms in the palace courtyard.
Many of the cherry blossoms that had just bloomed on the tree had fallen down, and Shui Yue was leading a few palace maids to squat on the ground to pick up the flowers.
When they moved to the Forbidden City that day, Yinzhen saw that Ling Ruo was reluctant to part with the two cherry blossom trees, so he ordered people to transplant them to Chengqian Palace. Now in March, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Guarjia pursed her lips and smiled, walked towards Lingruo and said: "My sister asked people to pick up flowers, maybe she wants to imitate that nymphomaniac who buries flowers, right? But later, she also needs to write a poem about flowers?"
Although Ling Ruo was not in a good mood, he couldn't help but smile when he heard her words. He took her hand and went inside and said: "How can it be like this? It's Shuiyue. This girl said it was a pity that these flowers have fallen, so she picked them up to dry.
After drying, you can use it to make flower sticks, sachets and other items; but why is my sister so nice to visit me today?"
Guarjia glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "Look, what you said is that I didn't treat you well in the past?"
"But I don't dare." Ling Ruo smiled and took the tea offered by the palace servants, and said: "I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother later, sister, do you want to go with me?"
Guarjia nodded and said: "That's fine. Speaking of which, is the Queen Mother's health better?"
Hearing this, Ling Ruo sighed and said: "It was getting better at first, but after being frightened by the earthquake, it is not as good as before. Moreover, the doctor Xu who had been treating the Queen Mother went to Tongzhou again. I don't know what will happen if I change the doctor."
Speaking of Dr. Xu, Guarjia also felt deeply regretful that today's Tongzhou is almost like a ghost gate, and the possibility of coming back alive is less than 1 in 10.
"That's all, it's useless to think about it now. Besides, I don't think Imperial Doctor Xu has a short life. Maybe he will be safe and sound." After such a word of comfort, she added: "By the way, are you going to have anything today?"
Summon Yilan into the palace?"
"Yilan?" Ling Ruo glanced at her in surprise and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, let alone invited her into the palace. Why is my sister asking here?"
At that moment, Guarjia said something about the figure she saw on the road that looked like Yilan's back, and then said: "Since you didn't call her into the palace, I guess I took a different look. But having said that, are you really prepared to meet her?
Isn’t Yilan going to stay away from each other forever?”
Ling Ruo stroked the gold thread between her skirts, lowered her head and said slowly: "Between people, barriers are easy to arise and hard to eliminate. Besides, Yilan has a deep prejudice against me. Even if I have intentions, it's useless. We just treat each other as sisters.
It’s over. But I heard that Li Yaoguang treated her very well. Even though she had nothing to do for more than ten years, she still treated her with respect and treated her like a guest. Finally, I didn’t choose the wrong person for her that day."
"You are just hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If the love between sisters is really gone, how would you know how Mr. Li treats her?" The two have been sisters for more than ten years. How could the Guarjia family not understand Ling Ruo?
I don’t say it, but I always remember it in my heart, otherwise I wouldn’t know whether the Li family treated Yilan well or badly.
"After all, I watched her grow up." Ling Ruo only said this, but it was enough.
However, Lingruo didn't know that her younger sister was kneeling in Kunning Palace, telling the past events between her and Xu Rongyuan in detail to Yinzhen who was sitting at the top.
Yinzhen's face was as gloomy as water, and his whole body exuded a cold aura. His hands were clenched into fists, and his whitened knuckles were bulging.
After Yilan finished speaking, Yinzhen asked in a cold voice: "Then after Concubine Xi enters the palace, will they have any contact with each other?"
Yilan glanced at Nala who was sitting in the chair without leaving any trace, lowered her head and said: "I don't know about this civilian woman, but I know that the reason why Imperial Doctor Xu has not married in the past twenty years is because of her heart.
It’s because of Concubine Xi.”
"Very good!" After a long moment of silence, Yinzhen popped out these two words from between his teeth. Seeing that it was almost done, Nala ordered Yilan to go down, went out to make a cup of tea, and then offered it to Yinzhen with his own hands, "
Your Majesty, take a sip of tea and feel relieved."
"I can't drink it!" Yinzhen said angrily. His chest was congested and painful at the moment, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
Nala took advantage of the situation and put the warm tea cup on the small table next to Yinzhen, and said warmly: "Actually, the emperor does not need to pay too much attention to what Yilan just said. It may not be true."
Yinzhen couldn't hear these words at this moment, and immediately retorted: "If even what Concubine Xi's sister said is not true, then what else is true? Concubine Xi..." After saying the last two words,
When he came, his eyes and mood were extremely complicated.
Nala sighed faintly and said: "Even if Concubine Xi and Imperial Physician Xu really have an old relationship, it is a thing of the past. Things have changed, and the emperor does not need to take it to heart anymore, otherwise it will hurt the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Xi's sister.
Isn’t it bad?”
"Emotions..." Yinzhen sneered, raised his head and said sadly: "Didn't you hear what those palace people said in private? Concubine Xi and Dr. Xu behaved intimately when they got along in private. Concubine Xi, she really took care of me.
Trust and love for her."
Nala was extremely relieved to hear this, but she did not show it on her face, but pretended to be sad and said: "Then how is the emperor going to deal with this matter?"
Hearing these words, Yinzhen's face suddenly became extremely cold. He rubbed the smooth rim of the cup and said slowly: "No matter how the plague is in Tongzhou, Xu Rongyuan can't stay any longer!"
The moment he said these words, he sentenced Rong Yuan to death. No matter whether he could eliminate the plague that was rampant in Tongzhou, he would not be able to get out of there alive. As for Jingxue... Although I felt sorry for her, the mistake was made by Xu Rongyuan himself.
No wonder others.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right, what about Concubine Xi?" Nala asked carefully, the fate of Niu Hulu was what she was most concerned about.
Speaking of Ling Ruo, Yinzhen's cheeks twitched a few times and he didn't speak for a moment. It was obvious that he was having a fierce struggle in his heart. Nara looked at him nervously, his heart pounding.
"Concubine Xi..." After a long time, Yinzhen finally spoke and said solemnly: "She has always been the fourth brother's mother-in-law. I can't help but think about his feelings. This matter should not be made public. I will just deal with Dr. Xu."
