Thinking of this, even Nala couldn't help but have a look of joy on his face. He straightened his clothes and said loudly: "Go and invite Eunuch Su to come in."
"Hey!" Not long after the palace servants retreated, Su Peisheng appeared in Nala's sight. After leaving the little eunuch holding an umbrella outside, he walked into the palace, clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said: "This servant pays my respects to the Queen.
Good luck to you!"
"Eunuch Su, please get up." Nala said politely, and then said: "Xiao Ningzi, show me your seat to Eunuch Su."
Su Peisheng quickly pushed back and said, "Your Majesty has killed this slave. How dare I act so arrogantly in front of your Majesty with my humble body?"
Seeing what he said, Nala did not force herself and said with a smile: "Eunuch Su, are you here on the order of the emperor?"
Su Peisheng bowed again and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, please go to the Yangxin Hall immediately."
Seeing that things were as he expected, Nala was even more happy, and the depression and annoyance caused by Niu Hulu's betrayal of the first army was swept away, but his face remained calm and said: "I understand.
, Eunuch Su, please go back first, I will be here in a moment." Su Peisheng followed the instructions and left. Of course, before leaving, without exception, he had an extra ingot of silver in his hand.
After Su Peisheng left, Nala showed a little nervousness and said, "Jade, do you think I am well-dressed like this? Does it make me look old-fashioned?"
Jade knelt down and stroked the hem of her skirt for her while smiling and said, "No, my master's outfit is both dignified and majestic. It makes the empress even more graceful and luxurious. The emperor will fall in love with her when he sees her."
Nala smiled at what she said, "You are always good at coaxing people. How old am I? No matter how well I dress, I can't compare with young and beautiful people like Tong Guiren. Besides, I know my own business."
..." She stroked her face slightly hurt
Godly said: "In the emperor's heart, I am the queen, but that's all. The emperor's affection and love have always been stingy with me. Think about it, it has been a long time since the emperor called me, even if Hui Guiren persuaded him
When you come to Kunning Palace, you just sit and leave."
Jade comforted and said: "Master, please don't remember this. Didn't the emperor summon the master tonight? In the future, the emperor will definitely summon the master often."
Nala was undoubtedly happy to hear such words. After everything was settled, she took a carriage in the rain and came to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
Su Peisheng arrived first and was standing guard outside the palace. When he saw Nala's shoulder brother approaching, he saluted and said with a smile: "The emperor is waiting for the empress inside."
"I understand." Nala raised his eyebrows and smiled, holding Sanfu's hand and walked in. As the palace door closed, the rain and wind were blocked out.
"My concubine, please give your regards to your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed!" Nala put her sleeves down and saluted Yinzhen, who was leaning behind the case, with a perfect smile on her face.
However, after waiting for a long time, she did not hear Yinzhen's voice calling her up. She quickly raised her eyes and found that Yinzhen ignored her request and did not even raise her head. Beside him, there were four figures that looked like clay and wood carvings.
happiness.
Such anomalies made Nala feel uneasy, and her heart, which was originally full of joy and expectation, gradually cooled down, and even a hint of ominous premonition arose.
Because Yinzhen didn't scream, she could only maintain her salute. After a while, her knees became sore and numb. After holding on for a while, she finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. Before Sanfu could help her, she had already said in panic.
: "My concubine has behaved inappropriately. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Following her words, Yinzhen finally raised his head, slowly put down his pen, and said in a cold tone: "Is the only thing the Queen wants to say to me is a disgrace?"
At this moment, Nala was finally sure that Yinzhen had bad intentions in spreading rumors about him today, but he didn't know what the problem was. He could only say: "I don't understand the emperor's intention."
"Don't understand?" Yinzhen chuckled, closed the half-approved memorial and stood up: "I am the one who doesn't understand. I ask you, did you go to Cining Palace today?"
Nala's body felt cold, and the ominous premonition she had before became stronger. Looking at the deerskin boots getting closer and closer in her sight, she said truthfully: "Yes, I, my concubine, went to pay my respects to the emperor's mother."
"If it was just to say hello, why did the emperor send all the concubines in the palace and above to Cining Palace, and why did the queen take Liu Hua there?" Yinzhen said a series of words that shocked Nala.
Then he said: "Queen, aren't you ready to tell me the truth?"
Faced with Yinzhen's questioning, Nala was very nervous. Could it be that Yinzhen already knew what he had done secretly? No, it was impossible. He did everything very carefully and did not do anything himself, even
People around him tried their best to avoid it, how could Yinzhen know?!
No! Regardless of whether Yinzhen knows it or not, she must never admit it to herself. If she admits something she shouldn't, she will be digging her own grave. However, the incident at Cining Palace can no longer be hidden. Yinzhen obviously already knows it.
Thinking of this, Nala gritted her teeth and said: "I did take Imperial Physician Liu to Cining Palace today. That's because Imperial Physician Liu came to look for me and said that Concubine Xi harmed him. I didn't believe it at first, but his words were true.
, Because I don’t believe it, but I am also afraid that it would be unfair if I deal with it alone, so I took her to Cining Palace and asked the Queen to make a decision.”
Yinzhen has always ordered spies to keep an eye on Liu Hua's every move, so as soon as Liu Hua went to Kunning Palace, Yinzhen knew about it immediately, and it was not difficult to find out what happened in Cining Palace.
Faced with Nala's defense, Yinzhen said sarcastically: "So, I should praise the queen for her prudence?"
"I don't dare!" Nara's family dug tightly into the thin gaps between the gold bricks to hide her inner nervousness. At the same time, she was thinking about a way to escape. Yinzhen was obviously doubting her now.
If you continue to doubt him, it will only become more and more detrimental to yourself.
The pair of deerskin boots finally stopped a step away from Nala. A moment later, a cold and piercing voice came from above his head, "As the queen and the master of the harem, you should be careful about everything you say and do, and you should not be rash.
I always thought you were a stable person before. But this time you believed Liu Hua's words and concluded that it was Concubine Xi who harmed him. For this reason, you even went to the Queen Mother to talk about it, which really disappoints me."
Although these words were accusatory, they relieved Nala's nervous mood. It seemed that Yinzhen did not know about Liu Hua's affairs, and was only accusing him of the way he handled it today. After thinking quickly,
After a while, she shed tears and said sadly: "Your Majesty is right, it's all my fault. I believe Liu Hua, a despicable villain, almost killed Concubine Xi's sister. I really deserve death. Please punish me."
sin."
"Is it just that?" Before Nala could think about it, Yinzhen said frightened words again, "Isn't it the queen's intention to punish Concubine Xi?"
