Wen Ruqing said nonchalantly: "Although Concubine Xi's appearance is still outstanding, in the end she is nothing more than the light of a firefly. Have you ever heard that a firefly can compete with the bright moon? Only the concubine is worthy of this harem."
The only owner here."
"Nobleman Wen is really good at talking." Nala's smile gradually deepened, staring at the subtle changes in expression on Wen Ruqing's face: "But... why is Nobleman Wen talking to me about this? Haoyue, Yinghuo
No matter what, we are all concubines in this palace and we should live in harmony."
Wen Ruqing met her scrutinizing gaze and said word by word: "Your Majesty is right, I am only worried that some people overestimate their own capabilities and want to compete with the bright moon!"
"If you have something to say, Mr. Wen, you might as well say it directly. I don't like to beat around the bush." Nala took the tea and wanted to sip it, but found that the tea was already cold, so he handed it to Xiao Ningzi and asked him to get another cup.
Wen Ruqing bit her silver teeth lightly and said in a deep voice: "I want to seek shelter under the queen's wings, so I will look at her with my horse's head."
Her words were already expected by Nala. She smiled slowly and said: "Mr. Wen helped me today. I shouldn't have refused. It's just that you have a good sister like Concubine Hui, and you have Concubine Xi's attention. How can you do that?"
We still need the protection of this palace. After all, in this harem, the most favored one is Concubine Xi. Who knows when the emperor will make her a noble concubine or even an imperial concubine."
"Whether it's a noble concubine or an imperial concubine, they are just fireflies. They can never compete with the empress." As she spoke, Xiao Ningzi brought freshly brewed tea, and Wen Ruqing took it and offered it to Nala with her own hands, sincerely
Authentic: "Please believe that I, my concubine, have always been the only one I want to rely on."
Nala looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled with forgiveness, with looming wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, "Gui Wen's jokes are very funny, but it's getting late, and I am a little tired. It's better for Gui Wen to go back, so be careful on the way."
." As she was about to stand up, Wen Ruqing was startled by this attitude, and then she became anxious and blurted out: "My Majesty, you don't trust me as a concubine?"
When she finished speaking, Nala had already supported Jade's hand and stepped off the footrest placed under the chair. The summer wind blew in from outside the hall and poured into the lampshade, making the candle light jump slightly.
He said quietly in the candlelight: "Why should I trust you?"
Wen Ruqing immediately took over the words and said, "Because I have nothing to hide from my empress."
Nala laughed at her words and ignored her. Although she didn't have much contact with him, she could tell that Wen Ruqing was far more caring than her sister and was not a person worth trusting.
Seeing that Nala was silent, the anxious look in Wen Ruqing's eyes became more intense. She walked quickly to Nala and blocked her path: "Aren't you curious, how did I convince Concubine Hui to come here?"
Of?"
Nala smiled and said: "That is a matter between the nobleman and Concubine Hui. What does it have to do with me?"
Since Wen Ruqing came today, she did not intend to go back empty-handed. She said heartily: "Because I told Concubine Hui that I would come to the empress to serve as an internal escort. What I said in Yikun Palace during the day was also to get the concubine."
of trust.”
Her words finally aroused Nala's interest, and she stopped and asked, "What about the facts?"
Although Nala only said five words, Wen Ruqing felt relieved and said slowly: "In terms of intelligence, the empress is the number one person in the harem, how can she not see what I am really thinking in my heart?"
Nala glanced at her lightly and said, "You have given me too much praise. There are smart people everywhere in this palace. How can I dare to say that I am the first person? If you don't say it far away, let's just say that you are good. You can think of me."
If you should respond internally here in the palace, it will be enough to prove that your talents are not weak."
Wen Ruqing saw that Nala was always wary of her, so she had to tell the truth, "Concubine Xi and others have always been malicious to the empress and caused trouble in the palace. I am willing to help the empress to put down the trouble, and also let those in the harem
Know clearly who is the real master of the harem."
Nala seemed surprised and said: "So, the so-called insider is just using it to deceive them?"
Wen Ruqing said hurriedly: "This is natural. I have admired my empress for a long time, so how could I betray her?"
Nala's eyes flashed, and she added: "But isn't Concubine Hui the nobleman's biological sister? How could the nobleman bear to harm his biological sister?"
Wen Ruqing leaned forward and said: "Good birds choose trees to roost in. Although Concubine Hui is my sister, she is ignorant and was taken advantage of by Concubine Xi without knowing it. She often thinks that she is right and goes against the empress. Concubine Hui advised her to
I told her many times, but unfortunately she couldn't listen to a word of it. No matter what the consequences are in the future, it will be her own fault and she can't blame anyone else."
Nara clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect that the noble man can distinguish right from wrong so well at such a young age. It is really commendable. Yes, I like him very much."
Nala's words made Wen Ruqing feel relieved. Before she could say anything, Nala had already pulled her up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to say to you. I wonder if you would like to talk to me at Bingzhuye."
?”
Wen Ruqing's eyebrows were filled with joy, and she quickly said: "Your Majesty has given orders, how dare I disobey you?"
"Very good." Nala nodded slightly and then said: "Speaking of this, I suddenly feel a little hungry. Jade, go and stew two cups of golden bird's nests. Remember to pour more honey on one of them.
, I remember that Mr. Wen likes to eat sweets."
Not to mention Nala and Wen Ruqing, Liu Hua just said that after leaving Kunning Palace, he went all the way back to Taiyuan Hospital. It was his turn to be on duty today. Since his arm was only a skin injury, he did not go with him.
If the people are switched, even if the left and right hands need to check the pulse, there is still another hand, and at most it will just move slower.
As soon as he entered the Taiyuan Hospital, he saw a slim figure standing with his back to him. Looking through the gap between his arms, he could see his carefully manicured nails slowly flipping through the things he had placed on the case.
In the medical book, a palace official also stood next to the woman with his back to him.
Doctor Liu hesitantly raised his hands and said, "I wonder which empress is here?"
The movement of the woman's hand stagnated, and she slowly closed the medical book and turned around, but it was Ling Ruo. Doctor Liu saw it clearly at first glance, and quickly knelt down, "Wei Chen has seen Concubine Xi." Then he said: "Concubine Xi.
Why are you here?"
Ling Ruomanran chuckled, "I thought that Third Elder Brother couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and somehow ended up at the Imperial Hospital. Didn't I scare Imperial Doctor Liu?"
"Your Majesty, you are joking." Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't show any strange expression, Liu Hua felt a little relieved and smiled in agreement: "My Majesty, please sit down. Weichen will go and make some tea for your Majesty. I hope your Majesty won't dislike Weichen's tea."
Ordinary."
"How could it be?" After Ling Ruoyi sat down, she stared at Liu Hua's left sleeve and said, "Hey, Doctor Liu has a bulging sleeve, but what is he hiding?"
Liu Hua secretly thought that it was not good. On the way here, he was afraid that people would see the jade Ruyi, so he hid it in his sleeve. He never wanted to be discovered by Ling Ruo. He couldn't think of anything to say, so he took it out and forced a smile.
: "My queen has good eyesight, it's... a jade Ruyi!"
