"We didn't light a lamp, so there shouldn't be any." When she said this, Piao Xiang wasn't sure, but the figure in front of her didn't move, so she probably didn't notice it.
The woman lowered her voice and said: "In that case, let's go around and be careful not to disturb them."
Piao Xiang nodded, and just as she was about to make a move, a faint voice suddenly came from in front of her, "Where are you going, Mr. Wen, at such a late hour?"
Just when this voice came, the front suddenly lit up. The dazzling light made the woman and Piao Xiang involuntarily close their eyes, making it difficult to look directly. It took a while to finally adapt to the sudden light, and then the next moment, the woman
His face turned extremely ugly.
Piao Xiang is not someone else's palace maid, but the person next to Wen Ruqing. So it is conceivable that besides Wen Ruqing, who else could be the master in her mouth? At this moment, she is looking at the person opposite in disbelief. She really wants to
I wonder why this person appears here and blocks his way so coincidentally?
Ling Ruo looked indifferently at Wen Ruqing, whose expression kept changing. Behind her, stood Shui Xiu, Yang Hai and others. They had been waiting here for half the night, and finally the person they were waiting for arrived.
Finally her suspicions were confirmed.
Wen Ruqing...
On the other side, Wen Ruqing had suppressed the shock in her heart and instead had a confused and strange look on her face, "Ms. Xi Fei, why are you here?"
Ling Ruo looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, "Isn't Mr. Wen also here? Could it be that if Mr. Wen can come, I can't come?"
When Wen Ruqing heard this, she waved her hands and said, "I don't mean that, but I think it's a little strange that the empress came here so late and didn't light the lamp."
Ling Ruo smiled but didn't answer, ran her fingers over the jade pendant under her ear, and said instead: "I couldn't sleep, so I was walking around and forgot to light the lamp for a moment. So, Mr. Wen, why didn't you rest in the house in the middle of the night?
And if you run out of Yanxi Palace, will you be as sleepless as I am?"
Wen Ruqing was extremely nervous at this time. Ling Ruo's appearance here gave her a bad premonition, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. Instead, she said with a coquettish look on her face: "Well, I have been lying there for a long time."
I couldn't sleep all the time, so I asked Piao Xiang to go out for a walk with me. What a coincidence.
I met the empress. Since I can’t sleep, why don’t I, my concubine, accompany your empress for a walk?” At this point, she wrinkled her eyebrows like willow leaves and said: “My empress is so weird tonight, she keeps calling me “Wen Guiren, please let me”
I’m not used to it, I still like my mother to call me by my name.”
"As long as you know that the person I'm calling is Mr. Wen, why worry about a title?" After saying this, Ling Ruo stared into her eyes and said: "I would like to be accompanied by Mr. Wen, but I'm afraid it will delay her."
Wen Guiren's business, if this is the case, then I am guilty of a very heinous crime."
Wen Ruqing's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely felt that Ling Ruo seemed to know something, so she forced herself to calm down and said, "The empress is joking, how can anything happen to me at this time?"
"Really?" Ling Ruo glanced at her lightly, then looked back at Kunning Palace in the distance, and said indifferently: "Isn't Mr. Wen going to Kunning Palace to tell the Queen about Nian's assassination?
"
Under Ling Ruo's understatement, Wen Ruqing's face instantly turned pale. There was no trace of blood under the palace lantern, even her lips were like this.
"What, are you speechless?" Ling Ruo took the palace lantern from Yang Hai's hand and walked to Wen Ruqing, looked at her carefully, and said word by word: "I really didn't expect this.
Sister Wen's younger sister turns out to be such a scheming person. Wen Ruqing, you are really capable, not only did you hide this from your sister, but also from me and everyone else."
The shock in Wen Ruqing's heart could not be described in words. How could this happen? How could Concubine Xi suddenly doubt herself? She still trusted her very much during the day, and even used a trick to make Nian think that the third elder brother had returned to his soul and assassinate the queen.
All the plans were revealed... Well, thinking of this, Wen Ruqing seemed to understand something, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are you trying me?"
Looking at those charming and sharp eyes, Ling Ruo said with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Have you finally stopped pretending? Wen Guiren!" She deliberately emphasized the last three words, which also made Wen Ruqing laugh.
His complexion turned from white to blue, becoming more and more ugly.
After a long time, she finally bit her lip and said, "When did you start doubting me?"
Now that things have come to an end, there is no longer any need to hide anything. Ling Ruo said slowly: "From the first time you helped the Queen to talk to Dr. Jin, I have suspected that you are not as simple as you seem. Even if you later said
You did this deliberately in order to serve as an internal agent for the Queen. I have never believed you again. Because I believe
The Wen Ruqing I know will never have such quick wit and thoughts, unless... what I see is simply a fake Wen Ruqing; then everything will make sense. And during the day, you use
The tea cup smashed against Nian's family and allowed the queen to escape, which further confirms my suspicion. Mr. Wen, am I right?"
Wen Ruqing suddenly smiled softly, lowered her sleeves and lowered her head and said: "Concubine Xi's thoughts are really delicate and meticulous, and I am willing to give in to you. When I think of it, what you said in Xianfu Palace today was all to test me. Look,
Will I tell the queen?"
"If not, how could you have exposed yourself? You never went to the Queen to act as an internal agent, but really took refuge in her." A trace of disgust passed through Ling Ruo's eyes, "Mr. Wen, you really make me
The palace is unexpected. Just doing this will do you no good. Will the Queen treat you better than Sister Wen treats you?"
Wen Ruqing shook her head without thinking, "Of course this is impossible."
Ling Ruo stared at her and said, "After all, you still know what is good and what is bad, but in that case, why did you betray Sister Wen? She has always believed in you."
Wen Ruqing sneered and said: "Sister believes in me, but she can't give me what I want, so I can only feel sorry for her. I know that the queen is not simple, and I also know that she is cruel, but she
She can give me what I want, so there’s nothing wrong with me turning to her."
There was a hint of anger in Ling Ruo's eyes, and she raised her voice a bit and said, "Sister Wen is your biological sister. How dare you betray her trust and speak so brazenly here?"
"So what about my direct sister?" Not only did Wen Ruqing not feel any guilt, she even asked Ling Ruo, "Isn't there just a trace of blood relationship? Oh, when I was born, she had already entered the palace, and she was already in the palace when I was growing up.
For several years, I had not seen her at all, and did not even know what she looked like. It was not until I was about to enter the palace that I met her for the first time. From the beginning, she did not want me to enter the palace. If I had not insisted, where would I be now?
