Nala couldn't believe her ears. Yinzhen was actually planning to let Niu Hulu go just like this. Then everything she had done was in vain. How could a mere doctor Xu be worth fifty thousand taels of silver and what she had done for this?
Countless efforts were expended.
She really wanted Yinzhen to deal with the Niu Hulu family seriously. It would be better to deprive her of her position and then put her in the cold palace and torture her slowly, but she couldn't say it. She has always shown herself to be generous, dignified, gentle and kind.
He is not jealous of any concubine's favor. Because of this, Yinzhen is willing to come and sit and talk to her occasionally.
If she loses this layer of disguise, I'm afraid Yinzhen won't even look at her.
So she gritted her teeth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound. It wasn't until Yinzhen left Kunning Palace that she loosened her clenched teeth. She clenched her teeth too tightly and too hard. Once she let go, she only felt that the entire row of gums
They are all sore.
"Jade, do you know? Your Majesty is prepared to spare Niu Hulu just like this." She said to Jade who walked to her side silently, with a layer of blood-red hatred in her eyes.
"The Emperor has always favored Concubine Tanxi." Feicui said softly. Although she was not in the palace, she could still make a guess. She supported Nala who was trembling slightly and said: "Master, let's just forget it like this?
"
"What do you think?" Nala glanced at her coldly. Although Jade had been serving Nala for decades, she still couldn't help lowering her head and not daring to look directly.
For a long time, Nala slowly restrained the trembling of her body, looked at the direction of Yinzhen's departure and said word by word: "The more the emperor is partial to her, the less tolerated this palace will be. This time, we must eradicate the root cause, otherwise no matter how hard it is, we will not tolerate her."
If this continues, I'm afraid that within a few years, even I will no longer be able to restrain her!"
"But the Emperor's side..." Jade asked worriedly. If his master wants to deal with Concubine Xi, he must rely on the Emperor's power. After all, in this harem, the Emperor is the one who can really decide the life and death of all the masters and empresses. At the moment, the Emperor
They have decided not to pursue the case, how can the master use it?
"How can the play end before it's over? Let's just watch." After saying this, Na Lashi said no more. She will get rid of this thorn in her side, she will!
It was night, as usual, when Ling Ruo delivered several dishes of prepared side dishes with fragrant rice to the south study room, he accidentally discovered that Yinzhen was not reading the booklet, but was sitting behind the case playing with a sapphire Pixiu paperweight, looking at it.
Wrinkled, not knowing what to think.
Ling Ruo did not disturb him, but gently put the side dishes and rice she brought on the purple-brown chicken wing wood table. Just as she was about to call out to Yinzhen, she looked up and found that he had not known when he was standing next to her.
In front of me, but
He was startled, stroking his frightened chest and scolded: "Why didn't you say anything when the emperor came?" Without waiting for Yinzhen's answer, he asked again: "Why didn't you see the emperor reading the book today? But there are disasters everywhere.
Is it getting better?”
Yinzhen stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the dark and light lines on the small table, and said casually: "Concubine Xi is very concerned about this earthquake."
Ling Ruo was startled. When they got along in private, Yinzhen never called her to give her a title. They always addressed her as "Ruo'er". The intimacy was natural. However, she didn't think deeply about it. She handed over the rosewood chopsticks and said: "This is
The earthquake was so severe that even the palace was affected, and the homes of ordinary people must be even more serious. What’s more, the emperor said last time that there was a great epidemic in Tongzhou, and in addition to the surviving people, even the soldiers who went to rescue were infected with the disease."
Yinzhen turned a blind eye to the chopsticks handed to him, just stared at her beautiful face, and suddenly said: "Concubine Xi, how many years have you been by my side?"
No matter how slow Ling Ruo was, he noticed something was wrong with Yinzhen, but he didn't dare to ask. He only replied truthfully: "Including this year, it has been nineteen years."
"Nineteen years." Yinzhen caressed her cheeks that were like gelatin, and sighed: "Even if a hundred years old, a life is only five and nineteen years. I still clearly remember the first time I saw Concubine Xi, and how she looks now.
There is almost no difference, but the beauty is still unparalleled."
"The emperor is joking." Ling Ruo said with a slight blush on his face: "I am already in my thirties now, how can I compare with when I was a teenager. However, I have been able to stay with the emperor and know each other for these nineteen years.
I am very happy."
"Really?" Yinzhen asked lightly, without any joy in his expression. He put down his hand and said, "We know each other well, which means that Concubine Xi has nothing to hide from me?"
Ling Ruo's eyelids twitched, and she had a vague premonition, but she couldn't guess the meaning of his words. She could only apologize and said with a smile: "How could I hide something from the emperor..."
"You're still lying to me!" An angry shout suddenly came from Yinzhen's mouth, startling Ling Ruo, and she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Yinzhen was breathing heavily, with unconcealed anger and disappointment in his eyes. After returning from Kunning Palace, he thought for a long time and hesitated whether to ask Ling Ruo for clarification.
Even if he didn't ask, he still couldn't let go of this knot in his heart; if he asked, he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear; because of this matter, he was absent-minded all afternoon and didn't even bother to read the excerpts.
Just now he saw Ling Ruo come in, and his desire became even stronger. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked. He hoped that Ling Ruo could answer truthfully, but he was disappointed. They had been together for nineteen years and gone through countless ups and downs, but they still couldn't make her
How can you not disappoint him if you tell the truth to yourself?
Li Dequan, who was guarding outside the hall, heard that something was not right inside. He pushed the door open and wanted to come in. Unexpectedly, he had just pushed the door half open when he heard Yinzhen's shout from inside: "Stay outside for me."
, no one is allowed in!"
This angry shout frightened him so much that he quickly changed the action of his hand from pushing to pulling, and closed the palace door tightly with a "squeaking" sound. He did not dare to go in even though the inside was turned upside down.
"How long are you going to keep the matter between you and Imperial Doctor Xu from me?" When asking this question, Yinzhen almost gritted his teeth. As long as he thought of Ling Ruo having a relationship with the man named Xu, he had an idea.
Inexhaustible anger.
Hearing Yinzhen's words, Ling Ruo's face turned pale. She never thought that Yinzhen would know about this matter. This... this... how could it be possible? After the Li family incident, she was extremely
Be careful and try to relocate everyone who originally lived near the Ling family. Now no one except his own family knows about it. How did Yinzhen know about it? And there was no warning in advance.
In such chaos, a flash of light suddenly flashed through my mind. My sister once said that she saw a figure that looked like Yilan's back in the palace. At that time, they all thought it was a misunderstanding. But what if it wasn't? Then it can explain why Yinzhen
He would know about this matter. However, how could Yinzhen summon Yilan into the palace to ask about this matter for no reason?
"What, are you speechless?" Seeing Ling Ruo flustered and silent, Yinzhen only said that she was too ashamed and speechless, and he felt even more disappointed.
