"But I think this is good. Although the eunuchs are disabled, they will be single-minded and not like other men." Mo'er's stubbornness made Ling Ruo strange, and she thought: "Mo'er, you and I
I tell you the truth, do you have someone you like?"
"No!" Mo'er shook her head without thinking, but Si Xi's appearance lingered in her mind, making her confused. Could it be that she fell in love with him?
This answer did not satisfy Ling Ruo, who still looked at her suspiciously. Mo'er answered so quickly, and it was obvious that he didn't mean what he said. But, who could that person be?
Staring at Mo'er who dared not raise his head, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Before it disappeared, Ling Ruo held her tightly and blurted out: "Could it be Mr. Xi?"
Mo Er was already entangled there, but when he heard Ling Ruo's words, he suddenly didn't know what to do. He stood there and didn't even know where to put his hands and feet. Her behavior made Ling Ruo even more convinced of her suspicions.
, I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Mo'er stood for a long time feeling extremely uncomfortable. Ling Ruo never spoke, and she said with some uneasiness: "Master, slave..."
Before she could continue speaking, Ling Ruo had already raised her hand and said, "You don't have to say anything. I knew it, but I ignored it. I knew you were close to Eunuch Xi, but I never paid attention to it."
Mo'er said anxiously: "No, actually before the master asked the slave, the slave herself didn't know. She only thought that Mr. Xi was a very nice person and felt very comfortable being with him."
"What about Eunuch Xi? What does he think?" To be honest, even if the palace can't help but argue, Ling Ruo doesn't want anyone around him to marry a eunuch and become a waiter, no matter how good-hearted the eunuch is or how high his status is.
, he is always a eunuch, and it will be aggrieved for a good woman to marry him.
Mo'er shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know." She didn't even understand her own thoughts, so how could she understand Ming Sixi's thoughts.
"Mo'er, do you really want to marry Si Xi and you won't regret it? Even if you stay in the palace for the rest of your life and can't be like a real couple, it doesn't matter?" Ling Ruo asked this question very seriously, after all, it was related to Mo.
A lifetime of happiness for my son.
This time, Mo'er thought for a long time and said: "I dare not say what will happen in the future, but at this moment, if I have to marry, I would rather marry Eunuch Xi. At least... he is a good man."
"You girl." Ling Ruo shook her head and said nothing, but there was something else in her mind.
In this kind of waiting, time slowly slipped by. Just after the third watch, I remembered the knocking on the door outside, and heard Yang Hai saying from outside: "Master, we should go over."
"Let's go." With these two words, Ling Ruozhan stretched out his sleeves, put his left hand wearing a red gold chiseled flower armor on Mo'er's arm, and Shi Shiran walked out. Outside, Yang Hai and others had already
Waiting there, Shui Xiu still held an angry wind lantern in her hand. Ling Ruo glanced around at the respectful people.
Several people said: "Shuiyue, please stay here and wait for your fate. The others will follow me to the Nourishing Heart Hall. In addition, Shuiyue, you tell Sanfu that if he wants to save Jade, he should stay in the house alive, especially if he wants to save Jade."
He is not allowed to take a step out of Chengqian Palace, otherwise even his own life will be in danger without mentioning Jade."
"Yes, I obey." Shui Xiu agreed, and when he was about to retreat, Ling Ruo suddenly remembered something and said, "Tell Little Zheng Zi not to keep vigil all night, but to go and watch outside Kunning Palace. If anything happens, come and report it immediately.
"
After Shui Xiu responded one by one, Ling Ruofang led everyone and led the lights all the way to the Yangxin Hall.
During the third watch, it is the darkest time. Without the illumination of palace lanterns, it is impossible to see the road ahead. Even so, the group walked very slowly. By the time they arrived outside the Yangxin Hall, it was already halfway through the third watch.
.
Seeing Ling Ruo stop, Yang Hai bowed and said: "Master, do you want this slave to report?"
Ling Ruo glanced at the Yangxin Hall not far away, which was hidden in the night, and said calmly: "No need, let's just wait here for a while. Shuixiu, please turn out the lights so that no one can see it."
Since Ling Ruo spoke, everyone naturally obeyed. After Shuixiu turned off the lights, the surrounding area suddenly became dark. The chirping of summer insects even covered up everyone's breathing. If they had not been very close, they would never have discovered this.
There were still a few people standing everywhere.
Although it is the end of summer, there are more mosquitoes than less. They have been buzzing in the ears of several people, flying away and flying back. If one is not careful, a big bite will come out, and those who are itchy can't help but go.
Scratch. Ling Ruo also had two bites on his neck. When Shui Xiu saw this, he said, "Master, why don't you go get some mosquito repellent?"
Ling Ruo took a look at the night and said, "No need, the time is coming soon. Besides, you can easily be discovered if you come and go like this."
Shui Xiu retreated as she was told, and after waiting for a while, she finally saw the lights of the Yangxin Hall turned on. Ling Ruo straightened her clothes, ordered Shui Xiu to light the angry wind lantern again, and walked to the Yangxin Hall.
"Who is it?" When they were still more than ten feet away from Yangxin Palace, the palace guards outside noticed the palace lantern that led them. They held the lantern and looked around. When they saw it was Ling Ruoshi, they hurriedly saluted.
Ling Ruo nodded slightly and said, "Has the Emperor gotten up?"
The palace servant replied respectfully: "As for Concubine Xi, the emperor has already informed that Eunuch Xi and Eunuch Su have gone in. I guess they got up. Are you going in, the concubine?"
In the night, Ling Ruo curled her lips slightly and said, "Yes, you go in and tell me that I want to see you."
The palace servant agreed and quickly walked in. After a while, he rushed out and said in a more respectful manner than before: "The emperor has a decree. Please come in, Concubine Xi."
Ling Ruo hummed softly and walked past him into the Yangxin Hall. When they arrived at the inner hall, they saw that the curtains had been lifted, Sixi was serving Yinzhen to change clothes, and Su Peisheng was standing with his head bowed holding a copper basin engraved with the pattern of two dragons playing with beads.
aside.
Seeing Ling Ruo come in, Yinzhen stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Why did you come here before dawn? Can't you sleep?"
When he saw Ling Ruo, Si Xi's movements froze, and then he continued to change Yinzhen's clothes as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, Ling Ruo stepped forward and put her hand into his, "Yeah, I'm not sleepy. I also remembered that the emperor was almost ready to go to court at this time, so I came to serve the emperor. After I saved it, the emperor started talking and said, "I'm a concubine."
He loves to sleep and does not serve the emperor when he gets up in the morning."
"Hey, I never said this, don't accuse me unjustly." Saying this, Yinzhen's face was full of smiles, he tightened the soft tissue in his palm and said: "That's it this time, in the future it will be okay.
You're not allowed to come here at this time, it's still dark outside, it would be bad if you get knocked out."
"How can I be so useless as a concubine?" After saying this, Ling Ruo took over the matter from Si Xi's hands very naturally, and put Yinzhen into a court uniform embroidered with nine golden dragons and twelve chapters. While fastening the buttons,
Suddenly he said: "Yesterday Hongli asked me a question. I don't know how to answer. I want to ask the emperor for advice. I wonder if the emperor is willing to give me advice?"
