As for Ling Ruo, Yinzhen left beforehand after having breakfast with them, leaving Ling Ruo talking to Wen Ruyan and the others.
Shuixiu and An'er served fragrant tea, which was picked from the Dahongpao tea tree planted on the Jiulongji stone wall of Tianxinyan in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province. It is rich in sweetness and has a long aftertaste.
He bought six Dahongpao tea trees, so even if these tea leaves were placed in the palace, they were rare treasures. Except for the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress, only a few favored concubines could get them.
After Wen Ruyan and Guarjia took the tea, they sniffed it lightly and praised it as a good tea. However, they did not drink it. Instead, they kept looking at Ling Ruo and laughing. Ling Ruo laughed inexplicably and couldn't help but ask
: "Why are you two sisters laughing? Is there something on my sister's face?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, Wen Ruyan said with a smile: "Of course not, we are just happy for my sister. This time when I came back, the emperor seemed to treat my sister very well. As for today, the emperor clearly meant to help my sister out.
, not only took over the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, but also solved the matter of Concubine Jing."
Guarjia also smiled and said: "Isn't it true? Concubine Nian's face is almost turning purple when you see her face. Even if she is the queen, despite her calm appearance, she is not sure why she is going crazy in her heart. How can we be so crazy?
It’s been a long time since the Queen Queen went crazy. Today is really a happy day!”
Ling Ruo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the emperor would solve Concubine Jing's matter like this, but it made me feel a little worried."
Guarjia smiled mischievously and said: "Yes, the emperor treats his sister so well. Not to mention that Concubine Nian is jealous, even the two of us are jealous when we look at her."
Ling Ruo's face turned red when she said that, and she said angrily, "How old is my sister? She is still so immodest. I just made fun of her when I came back. If she does this again, I won't tell you."
"Sister, look, our Concubine Xi is so angry!" Guarjia not only suppressed her smile, but also laughed even louder. She laughed until Ling Ruo turned red in the face before she reluctantly stopped, but she still laughed from time to time.
The meaning leaked from the lips.
"Okay, okay." Wen Ruyan smiled and said to Guarjia, "Ruo'er has always been thin-skinned. If you make fun of her like this again, you will really drive us out of the house with a broom."
Ling Ruo looked at Wen Ruyan dumbfounded, "Sister, why are you making noises with Sister Yun?"
Wen Ruyan shook her head and said with a gentle smile: "We are not making noises, we are really happy. Ruo'er, you don't know that Yun'er and I have never been so happy since you left the palace.
.”
Ling Ruo lowered her eyebrows when she heard this and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's my sister who is willful and makes the two sisters worried in the palace."
"Forget it, everything is over. Now we are very happy to see that the emperor treats you so well, and even deliberately declined the matter of Concubine Jing for you. Everything has finally come to an end."
Here, Wen Ruyan was quite impressed.
Guarjia took a sip of the tea she had been holding in her hand for a long time and said, "Ruo'er, what exactly happened that day and where have you been in the past six months? Come and tell us." They all know everything.
I'm not sure. Although I heard a lot of gossip in the palace, it's hard to argue whether it's true or not. Now that Ling Ruo is back, I naturally have to listen to her own words.
"Yes, and what's going on with Dr. Xu? He lost all his memory after coming back from Tongzhou." Speaking of Rong Yuan, Wen Ruyan was quite sorry. There was someone in the palace who could be trusted and had excellent medical skills.
It is really difficult to serve as an imperial physician. Now that Imperial Physician Xu is no longer here, when I occasionally have an illness and call other imperial doctors to see me, I am always worried, lest they do something wrong.
Ling Ruo waved away the irrelevant people in the palace and then explained in detail what happened that day and everything that happened outside the palace in the past few days.
As Ling Ruo narrated, both Guarjia and Wen Ruyan's expressions gradually became solemn and gloomy. After listening, Wen Ruyan couldn't help but said angrily: "They have very evil thoughts and used Imperial Physician Xu to provoke them."
The emperor was suspicious of you and forced you to leave the palace, but he still pursued you outside the palace. It is really hateful! Ruo'er, do you know who is responsible for such a vicious plan?"
Before Ling Ruo could speak, Guarjia already said: "The only people in the palace who have such courage and ability are the Queen and Concubine Nian. However, I don't think it was Concubine Nian who did it. Although she also has means,
But in terms of thoughtfulness, he is still far inferior to the one from Kunning Palace."
"Yes, I think so too. It's a pity that there is no evidence now. However, the Emperor is already investigating this matter, and the truth should come to light." Ling Ruo's eyes flashed with coldness. For those who repeatedly wanted to kill her, she also
Hate to the core.
"Whether it's the Queen or Concubine Nian, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. I just hope that God will be wise this time and won't let them escape the punishment they deserve." At this point, Wen Ruyan said with heartache again: "
If you can come back safely this time, Ruo'er, you are extremely lucky."
Just as she said, if it weren't for Rong Yuan's desperate protection, Shi Sheng's kind rescue, and Li Wei finding her in time and saving her from the man in black, Ling Ruo would have turned into a pile of bones.
"As the saying goes: Surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune. My sister will definitely be able to live in peace and prosperity in the future." Guarjia said next to her.
Ling Ruo lowered his head and stroked the foam floating on the tea soup, and the fragrant orchid fragrance lingered in the hall, "How can I be smooth in the palace, but...since they failed to take my life this time, then
I won’t have another chance in the future.”
"Then... what are you going to do with Yilan?" Guarjia raised her eyes and said, "I heard that Yilan had left the capital, and then came back for some unknown reason, and is now being held in the Ministry of Punishment together with Master Ling and the others.
Prison."
Ling Ruo is not too worried about Amma and the others, because Yinzhen has already suspected that someone is causing trouble secretly, and promised to investigate thoroughly. I don't think Amma and the others will have their lives in danger, and they will just suffer for a few days until the matter is found out.
Just the pain of prison.
But Yilan... Ling Ruo looked down at her hands holding the tea cup. She felt that the comfort and enjoyment outside the palace were not as good as those in the palace, and she was still alive from time to time, so her long fingertips were not stained with alfalfa, only the
The pink color shows through the nail flesh.
Wen Ruyan rubbed the smooth and thorn-free wall of the cup and said, "Sister, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Ling Ruo vaguely guessed what Wen Ruyan wanted to say, so she managed a smile and said, "Sister, it's okay to say it."
"I have known you for many years. It can almost be said that I watched Yilan grow up. Although this girl has the same mother as you, she is not as affectionate and righteous as you, and her jealousy is even more serious. In her eyes,
The only one who values you is yourself, anyone can take it for yourself
Betrayed, including you, my biological sister. If she hadn’t told the queen about you this time, she wouldn’t have given the queen the chance to set up a trap that would have made you and the emperor almost fall out. Although you came back safely this time, if you stay here again,
Yilan, I'm just afraid... the same thing will happen again."
Ling Ruo didn't know what Wen Ruyan said. She tolerated Yilan again and again, but in exchange for her betrayal of herself, it was really chilling.
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, Guarjia said: "Sister, what you said is reasonable. Ruo'er, now that you are back in the palace, you can no longer be so merciful. Keeping Yilan will always be a disaster. Do you really want to wait to be killed?"
Will she regret it after she lost her life?"
Ling Ruo stood up slowly, looked at the gloomy sky outside and said in a solemn voice: "I know everything the two sisters said, but... Yilan is always my biological sister. If you want my sisters to kill each other..."
