"No." Ling Ruo hurriedly defended, then knelt down and said sincerely: "I did not intend to hide anything from the emperor, but I and Dr. Xu were already in the past. As early as the day I entered the palace, I
, it has nothing to do with him anymore, since it has nothing to do with it, why bother mentioning it again.”
"It's a good saying, 'It doesn't matter, so why bring it up again'. You can tell people everything. If you really have nothing to do with it, why do you hide it from me in every possible way?" Looking at his favorite concubine, Yinzhen was angry and hateful.
,
If it were any other concubine, he would have already been relegated to the cold palace, so how could he kneel here and answer questions. Apart from Mei'er, Ling Ruo was the woman he valued most, and even the Nian family could not compare to her.
"I don't want the Emperor to misunderstand me." After saying this, Ling Ruo said solemnly: "Please trust me, Your Majesty, I and Dr. Xu have always done things based on love and ended up with etiquette, and there will never be anything that goes beyond etiquette."
After entering the palace, although we met unexpectedly, the relationship was only between patient and doctor."
"Is it really just like that?" Yinzhen sneered. Without waiting for Ling Ruo to answer, a series of questions came to Ling Ruo like a storm, "Then I would like to ask Concubine Xi to tell me why Xu Rongyuan entered the palace as an imperial physician? And
Why are you so unwilling to marry Jingxue? Why did he make a special trip to say goodbye to you when he went to Tongzhou?"
The first two questions were just that, they were indeed related to him, but the last one was mentioned by Rong Yuan in passing when he came to change Hongli's dressing. Why did he make a special trip to say goodbye?
"Your Majesty..." She wanted to explain, but unfortunately Yinzhen didn't want to listen. After taking a few deep breaths, he pointed at the door of the palace and said: "I don't want to see you now, so get out immediately. You won't be allowed to do so without my order from now on."
Take another step into the south study room."
Seeing that Yinzhen was so angry at the moment, Ling Ruo knew that no matter what she said, he wouldn't listen, so she had to leave sadly. Shortly after stepping out of the palace door, she vaguely heard the sound of bowls of porcelain falling to the ground, and she shook her head.
, held Nan Qiu’s hand and left.
Everything that happened tonight was weird. It was clear that someone was plotting secretly to hurt her. She had to find out quickly, otherwise the loss would only get bigger and bigger.
Returning to Chengqian Palace, she had just called Shuixiu and the others to come closer. Before she could speak, she saw their eyes were red and they looked like they were hesitant to speak. She knew that they must have something to say, and they
It was not convenient to say it in front of Nan Qiu and others. He excused himself as he was tired and wanted to wash up and rest, and left Nan Qiu and others.
Sure enough, when only a few of them were left in the room, Shui Xiu, the oldest, stepped forward and choked with sobs: "Master, there is a letter from outside the palace saying that something happened to Xiaoluzi."
Ling Ruo was startled and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
Shuixiu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "The Mao brothers asked someone to send a letter to the slave, saying that Xiaoluzi suddenly disappeared a few days ago and has not been found. However, they were afraid that the master would be worried, so they did not dare to tell the master.
, just sent people to look for it privately
, it was not until yesterday that they unexpectedly discovered Xiao Luzi, who was covered with scars in the wild. When they brought Xiao Luzi back, he was already dying. He forced them to tell the master that they must be careful about the people in the palace, because someone was dealing with him.
master."
Ling Ruo did not pursue this question, but said anxiously: "What about Xiaoluzi? Can he be saved?"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yue burst into tears that she had held back for a long time. The youngest, An'er, couldn't stop crying and sobbed: "Xiaoluzi is dead, ugh..."
When they were in the palace, they had a very good relationship. Seriously, they were separated for only two or three months. The words of farewell were still in my ears at that time. I never thought that we were already separated from each other, how could we not be sad.
Dead? Is Xiaoluzi dead? Ling Ruo sat there in a daze, unable to come to his senses for a long time. He still remembered the nervous and fawning look of Xiaoluzi and Li Wei when they first came to Jingsiju. After more than ten years, he stayed with them loyally.
Although he is not as smart and capable as Li Wei around him, his loyalty is the same.
She let him go because she couldn't bear the castration, so she thought of letting him get rid of his status as a slave, marry a virtuous wife, have several smart children, and live happily for the rest of his life.
, I didn’t know...
Thinking of the sadness, Ling Ruo couldn't help but shed tears, which dripped on her haze-colored clothes, staining them like flowers, but it contained deep sadness.
"Master." Shui Xiu suddenly knelt down and sobbed: "You must avenge Xiao Luzi. When the Mao brothers were preparing Xiao Luzi's body for burial, they discovered that in addition to the horrific flesh and skin injuries, his lower body... lower body
..." The next words were a bit difficult to say. After a while, he gritted his fine silver teeth and said, "Even my lower body was fucked, just like a eunuch in the palace."
"I feel sorry for Xiao Luzi." Ling Ruo couldn't stop crying, and her expression became even more sad. She could already guess that someone must have asked Xiao Luzi about what happened between her and Dr. Xu, but Xiao Luzi refused to tell.
, so those people tortured him in different ways, even using methods to purify him.
They also figured out that Xiaoluzi would not be a complete man even after he died. But they never thought that Xiaoluzi would rather die than be a betrayer. With no other option, they threw the dying Xiaoluzi in the wild.
I want him to be eaten by wild dogs and die.
As for Yilan, she should be the second candidate after Xiao Luzi. Unfortunately, she is not as loyal as Xiao Luzi. She told everything about herself, which led to the questioning in Nan Study Room tonight.
Ling Ruo suppressed the grief in her heart, helped Shui Xiu up and said, "Don't worry, I will never let go of the person who harmed Xiao Luzi. I will have to repay him twice as much for the pain he inflicted on Xiao Luzi in the future.
"
Shuixiu nodded vigorously, stood up with tears in her eyes and said, "Master, have you guessed who is going to harm me?"
"There cannot be more than three people in the palace who have grievances with me and who have the ability to deal with me." After saying this coldly, she ordered: "The guards at the palace gate have not been replaced yet, Shuixiu
Go and ask if any strange woman has entered the palace today, and if so, ask which palace the woman went to."
Everyone who enters and exits the palace will leave a record, including the time of entry and exit, whereabouts, etc., which can be known by asking.
After Shui Xiu agreed, Ling Ruo ordered Shui Yue to find out where Yinzhen had been in the past few days and who he had met, so that he could be more detailed.
The two of them had been away for a long time before returning, but their answers were surprisingly consistent, pointing to Kunning Palace.
Ling Ruo slapped her palm on the armrest with hatred and said angrily: "It is indeed her, the queen, such a queen, but she actually used such despicable and vicious methods. Even a snake, scorpion, and poisonous woman would not be as safe as her."
When the remaining three heard the word "Queen", their teeth were itching with hatred, and they wished they could eat its flesh. But she was the Queen, the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and she was always meticulous in her actions and found no loopholes.
Ling Ruo also knew about this problem, not to mention that Nala had the upper hand in this matter, and Yinzhen was angry with her. How could it be difficult for her to counterattack Nala now?
However, she will do it no matter how difficult it is, and she will never let Xiao Luzi die in vain!
"Shui Xiu, tomorrow I will send my order to leave the palace and ask Yilan to come to the palace to see me." To untie the bell, we still need the person who tied the bell. If we want to solve the current dilemma, we can only start with Yilan.
