"Even if you don't need to take supplements, it's good to eat some." After telling the palace attendants to watch the fire, Ling Ruo took Guarjia's hand and went to the warm pavilion nearby. Someone in the palace took the opportunity to bring a copper basin filled with ice cubes.
, causing the temperature in the room to slowly drop. It was only then that Ling Ruo slowly spoke out the words she had been holding in her heart, "What kind of person does sister think Wen Ruqing is?"
The words that came out of Ling Ruo's mouth were filled with unfamiliarity that she had never experienced before, and Guarjia's eyebrows became serious because of her words, "Ruqing, she is Sister Wen's younger sister, she is lively and smart.
She has a big heart and cares about Sister Wen very much."
"Is it just like this?" Ling Ruo stared at the tiny water drops slowly sliding down from the ice with a hint of irony, "Or is it that my sister is unwilling to tell the truth even in front of me?"
Guarjia was a little overwhelmed by what she said, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, what I just said is only the impression before today, after today..." She tapped her fingers lightly and said slowly:
"It's beyond my imagination that she could think of working as an internal agent for the Queen. In my impression, she probably doesn't have the brains."
"But she happened to think of it." Ling Ruo said softly, and slowly touched her earlobe with her fingers. There was nothing underneath, and there was no pendant. "So, it really made me want to see it, and I began to wonder if it had always been us.
Mistaken."
"You mean, Wen Ruqing is not as simple as we think, on the contrary, she has always been full of intrigues. Is this...possible?" Along the way, Guarjia had not thought of this possibility, but she always felt that there was something wrong with it.
It's too much, I don't want to think about it.
"Why is it impossible?" Ling Ruo's eyes were filled with coldness, "Is it just because she is Sister Wen's sister?"
Guarjia looked at her for a while and said, "This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I don't want Ruqing to be a scheming person. If this is the case, it would be too cruel for Sister Wen."
Ling Ruo remained silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "I don't want to either, but we have to guard against being stabbed in the back by someone close to us. I don't want to try that feeling again in my life."
Guarjia stroked her back and said softly: "But you are thinking of Yilan? Alas, don't be too arrogant. Ruqing is not Yilan after all."
"But if everything is true as we think, he is a more terrifying person than Elayne. At least Elayne will not know how to hide her thoughts as well as she does."
Guarjia said slowly: "But Ruqing has already said that she wants to take advantage of the opportunity to gain the queen's favor, and then go to her side to work as an internal support. Even if Ruqing really has some scheming, it is for our own good. You shouldn't care too much.
Not to mention that it’s not good if you have scheming. If you don’t talk about others, just you and I, don’t we also rely on scheming to survive in this palace?”
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said, "So, sister believes in Wen Ruqing?"
"I can't say whether I believe it or not." Guarjia sighed deeply, held Ling Ruo's hand and said: "I just don't want things to get worse. No matter what, Ruqing is helping us now, whether she is good or bad
We shouldn't draw conclusions so early, right? We still need to read on before talking, otherwise, if you are wronged like Ruqing now, won't you regret it in the future?"
Ling Ruo lowered her head and stared at the patterns on Guarjia's nails, and whispered: "I don't really hope that she will pass. It's just that I'm a little scared."
"It doesn't matter, since we are already on guard, then even if she really has any bad intentions, she won't be able to harm us." Guarjia comforted her and then said, "Did you deliberately say that to Dr. Jin just now because Ruqing was present?
You don’t know about it?”
"Yes." Ling Ruo agreed and said: "You must not have the intention of harming others in this palace, but you must never have the intention of guarding against others. When sister comes later, I will tell you in detail.
"
"Okay." Guarjia was about to let go, then suddenly said: "Also, are you going to tell Sister Wen about your suspicions about Ruqing?"
"From what Sister Wen sees, I really can't make up my mind about this. After all, Sister Wen has always believed in her. I said I was afraid that Sister Wen would be sad, but I was also afraid that she would be fooled."
Listening to Ling Ruo's words, Guarjia said: "Otherwise, I'd better give you a little reminder. It's always good to be careful when sailing a ten-year-old ship."
In this way, the matter was settled first. After the rose and lotus root cake was steamed, Guarjia ordered the palace servants to invite Wen Ruyan. It was almost evening and he didn't know if he was about to end. There was a sense of dullness in the air.
Suddenly, the dragonfly flapped its transparent wings and flew low in the air.
After Wen Ruyan arrived, she was a little surprised to see Ling Ruo and said, "Didn't you go back to your palace?"
At this time, the palace attendant brought out the still warm rose and lotus root silk cake. Ling Ruo smiled and said: "Thinking of the autumn lotus root, I came to my sister to show my shame. I went back to the palace alone."
"Really?" Wen Ruyan said with a cynical smile: "I heard that the emperor went to your place yesterday, which shows that the emperor's knot has been relieved." At this point, she sighed again, "
Speaking of this matter, it’s me who has caused you trouble.”
Ling Ruo pretended to be unhappy and said: "My sister said such things, but she is alienated from me and does not treat my sister in the same way as me."
"Okay, I won't say it anymore." Wen Ruyan smiled forgivingly, lowered her head and picked up a piece of shredded lotus root rose cake from the delicate plate, took a bite and praised: "Well, it still tastes the same as before. It seems that my sister
My craftsmanship hasn’t deteriorated yet.”
Ling Ruo rolled his eyes and said in a long voice: "In other words, there is no progress?"
"You girl, you know how to find fault with me. Okay, okay, you've made great progress and it's even more delicious. Is it OK now?"
After eating a few pieces, Wen Ruyan wiped her hands and said, "Okay, tell me, why did you call me here? Don't say it's really to eat lotus root and rose cake."
After Guarjia ordered someone to take the things away, Fang smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from my sister. It's Ruo'er. She has something to say."
Ling Ruo collected her thoughts and said, "To be honest with my sister, I actually went to see Dr. Jin before today."
This sentence immediately caught Wen Ruyan's mind. She frowned and said, "So, you knew about Dr. Jin's weird behavior before. Why didn't you say it just now?"
"Sister, please let her finish her words first?" Guarjia shook her head secretly. If she revealed her suspicions about Wen Ruqing now, she might not be able to listen to the rest of her words.
At that moment, Ling Ruo told everything about her meeting with Jin Mingze. When she found out that the Queen's envoy, Imperial Physician Liu, had persuaded Imperial Physician Jin to put the blame on herself to avoid the punishment of being cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, Wen Ruyan
He was so angry that he couldn't help but protest, "She really has no good intentions!"
