Chapter Nine Hundred and Seventy Eight: True or False
How could Mrs. Shumulu be unwilling? Others might think that she was still young and could give birth to a child at some time; but she did not dare to have such an idea. The medicine sent by Yingchun completely cut off her hope of having a child.
As long as the queen sits in Kunning Palace, she will never have a child of her own. Therefore, Liu's suggestion has an irresistible temptation for her.
Seeing that Mrs. Shu Mulu remained silent, Mrs. Liu said again: "I can guess the identity of the person behind my sister. The reason why I don't tell you is that I hope that my sister can tell the truth. Only in this way will you and I be the real blessings."
We share the same fate, and I can safely leave my child to my sister to raise."
Mrs. Shumulu understood that Mrs. Liu wanted to completely tie her into the same boat. After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't resist the temptation of the child and said, "Are you really willing to leave the child to me to raise?"
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Liu knew that her heart was moved, and she quickly said: "My sister and I are like sisters, so naturally my child is my sister's child. There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. If my sister still doesn't believe it, I can tell you here."
I swear, if you violate your oath, you will cause me to strike with thunder from the sky." She then knelt down and swore, and Mrs. Shumulus quickly supported her and said: "There is no need to do this, I just believe in you."
Holding Mrs. Liu's warm hand, Mrs. Shumulu finally made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said: "Forget it, with the current relationship between my sister and I, there is nothing to hide. The person who doesn't want my sister to give birth to a child is someone else.
It’s Concubine Xi.”
This answer was beyond Liu's expectation. She had always thought it was the queen. It took a while for Liu to come to her senses and exclaimed, "It's actually her?!"
Shu Mululu sighed deliberately and said: "I know it is difficult for my sister to accept it, but this is absolutely true. Among the elder brothers, the fourth elder brother is the most favored by the emperor and the most likely to inherit the throne. But if
If another elder brother is born and is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, the fourth elder brother's status will be threatened, so Concubine Xi absolutely does not want to see her sister give birth to a child safely."
"The things in this palace are really dangerous. If my sister hadn't said it herself, I would have been kept in the dark. I thought that Concubine Xi was a good person. I didn't even know when I fell into her trap." Mrs. Liu said with a serious expression.
With.
"Knowing people but not their hearts, you should be more careful with her in the future." After saying a few more words like this, Mrs. Shu Mulu stood up and left. After she left, Mrs. Liu sat in her chair and pondered in silence.
Jin Gu looked at her expression and whispered: "Master, is the person behind Hui Guiren really Concubine Xi? But Hui Guiren and Concubine Xi have never had much contact!"
"Do you think it's strange too? I always thought she would be the queen, but I didn't want her to spit out Concubine Xi in the end. Is she really Concubine Xi, or is she deliberately lying to me..." Mrs. Liu stroked her abdomen, hesitating for a moment.
Jin Gu thought for a while and said: "It is also possible that Concubine Xi deliberately kept a distance from Hui Gui to avoid suspicion, but this cannot explain why the Queen would help Hui Gui gain favor. As for saying that Hui Gui deceived his master... it seems that there is no such thing
necessary."
Mrs. Liu lowered her eyes and said nothing, her mind was spinning rapidly. It was really hard to think about which one of the empress...concubine Xi...was the real messenger behind the Shumulu clan.
Haitang said from the side: "Actually, I think Hui Gui is telling the truth. After all, the master just said that he is willing to give her a child to raise. Looking at her just now, it is clear that she is very excited."
Speaking of this, Jin Gu also remembered it and said quickly: "Master, are you really going to give a child to Hui Gui? Even if it is a twin, there is no need to give her one. Isn't this just an advantage for Hui Gui?
?”
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said: "Even if I give the child to her, it will still be born to me. She is just an adoptive mother at most, and she won't cause much trouble. Besides, I can give the child to her, and naturally I can find any reason.
If I want to come back, I never thought that the child I risked my life to give birth to would be called someone else's mother. Now I just care about whether what she said is true or false. Logically speaking, I have given her such a big benefit, and she
There is no reason not to give up, unless..."
Haitang waited for a while, but still didn't see Liu continue to speak, so she couldn't help but ask: "Master, what else can you do?"
Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed and she said softly: "Unless she sees through my mind and knows that I am just using the child as bait to lure her to help me; I am not really planning to give the child to her."
Jin Gu was suddenly startled and blurted out: "This is impossible, how can Hui Gui have such an ability to see people at a subtle level? When the master said those words before, even the slaves who watched you grow up didn't notice it.
.”
"I'm not sure either." Mrs. Liu stared at the charcoal basin in the corner. The red silver charcoal was emitting steam, making the whole room as warm as spring. It wasn't until her eyes felt a little sore that she said:
"Begonia, has the snow that fell in the past few days melted? Will it be slippery when I go out?"
"Master, it's not yet, but the snow has been swept into piles, so it won't hinder walking." Haitang tilted her head and said, "Master, do you want to go out?"
Mrs. Liu nodded slightly and said, "Go and get my silver rat hair cloak."
"Where are you going, Master?" Jin Gu asked with concern. Although it was not snowing outside at the moment, it was still so cold that water turned to ice. Mrs. Liu was pregnant with Liujia, so what would happen if she got cold.
Mrs. Liu stood up and let Haitang put on the silver rat hair cloak she had just made this winter, "I want to go to Chengqian Palace."
"In Concubine Xi's Palace, Master..." Before Jin Gu could continue asking, Mrs. Liu had already raised her hand and said, "Don't ask any more questions, I have my own plan."
Just as Mrs. Liu was on her way to Chengqian Palace, Mrs. Shumulu also returned to Shuiyixuan. Yushan quickly lit a charcoal basin, and Ruliu made hot tea and came in. She whispered: "Master, hurry up and drink some tea to warm yourself up."
body."
Shu Mulu took it and slowly sipped it until half the cup of tea was down. Then she felt a little warmer. She glanced at the gloomy sky outside and murmured: "This winter is really scary and cold. I don't know why.
It will warm up later.”
Yushan said casually: "We have to wait until the weather gets warmer, and we have to wait until spring starts in February or March."
"Spring has begun..." Shu Mululu said softly, lowering his head and fidgeting with the red musk deer on her wrist that looked like agarwood, and said: "When spring begins, Liu's children will be almost ready to be born, twins of twins... Oh, she
What a blessing.”
Ruliu, who was fiddling with the charcoal fire, slowed down his movements, turned his head and said hesitantly: "Master, when Lord Qian asked your envoy just now, why did you say it was Concubine Xi?"
Yushan also remembered this, nodded and said: "Yes, the queen ordered the master to do everything, so why did you tell Mr. Qian that she was Concubine Xi?"
