The palace maids had already retreated, and there was no sound in the huge hall.

Xia Ruan felt a little puzzled, and there was a blank look in his eyes.

How to ask?

She thought about it for a long time, and she didn't know how to speak, so she could only keep her eyes down.

Concubine An's voice was very soft: "Yu Ruyi will give it to you last time, but it is actually the Queen Mother's own intention." Although the palace mentioned this matter in front of the Queen Mother, it ...... You also know how precious this jade Ruyi is. ”

Xia Ruan clenched her palms, she naturally knew the preciousness of Jade Ruyi.

The three-handled jade Ruyi made of ancient jade has been left behind in the past to give to Princess Changjun, and the one given to Queen Jiang is because the Jiang family is the queen.

Only, she has nothing to do with the royal family, but she has obtained this rare treasure.

Moreover, this jade Ruyi has a different meaning for the Queen Mother. It stands to reason that this jade Ruyi will be placed in her funeral goods after the Queen Mother's West District.

It's just that no one thought that the Queen Mother would actually reward her with Jade Ruyi.

Xia Ruan always thought that the Queen Mother had fulfilled An Guifei's wishes, but now that she learned from An Guifei's mouth that this was the Queen Mother's own meaning, Xia Ruan was shocked and didn't know how to talk to An Guifei.

In her previous life, she just glanced at the Queen Mother from afar.

In this life, she didn't even have the opportunity to look at the Queen Mother from afar, so how could she be noticed by the Queen Mother?

"I don't know why the Queen Mother wants to see you, and the Queen Mother wants the Queen Mother to hide this matter from the Emperor." Concubine An frowned, "When it's late at night, this palace will go to Cining Palace with you." ”

Xia Ruan nodded, and Concubine An said so. There was no room for manoeuvre, and she couldn't refute it.

It's just that what gave her more headache was Concubine An's next words.

Concubine An Guifei took a breath, her eyes heavy, "In addition to the fact that the Queen Mother wants to see you, there are two other things that this palace wants to tell you." One of them is that Bengong wants to know what Ning Guiren has to do with you, can you tell Bengong? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Ruan suddenly raised her head, her eyes were more than surprised. There are also all kinds of uneasiness.

Concubine An accepted it calmly. Without dodging in the slightest, he continued, "Hongu has visited her a few times, and Hongu feels like he wants to know something from her mouth. But she wouldn't tell Hongu. Keep telling this palace your name. The Queen Mother also met Ning Guiren. After the Queen Mother met Ning Guiren, she moved her mind and said that she would reward you with Jade Ruyi. So, Hongu wants to know your relationship. ”

Xia Ruan's brows furrowed. What did Xia Qinghe and the Queen Mother say?

After thinking for a long time, Xia Ruan replied softly: "Ning Guiren, she is actually not from the Western Regions. ”

Concubine An was not much surprised by Xia Ruan's words, after all, she had also doubted it.

"An Guifei Niangniang must know that the courtiers are from Dongyang County, and the courtiers' grandfather has three sons, and the father is the second." Xia Ruan didn't know how to talk about this bizarre thing, even she didn't expect Xia Qinghe to appear in this deep palace.

At first, she suspected that the water nobleman was Xia Qinghe, but she never thought that this water nobleman was just a chess piece for the cinnabar test, and the real Xia Qinghe was actually a maid who was waiting by the side of the water nobleman. When the water nobles were useless, Xia Qinghe took his place.

The water nobles are from the Western Regions, but the little maids around the water nobles are the people of Daqin.

When Concubine An Guifei went to find Ning Guiren, her eyes widened in surprise by the name she shouted.

Concubine An never guessed that Ning Guiren would know Xia Ruan.

After all, Ning Guiren and Xia Ruan only have a few faces.

Xia Ruan was silent for a moment, and then added, "She is my second cousin." ”

Xia Ruan said an extremely bland sentence, but Concubine An Guifei was stunned, she wanted to pick up the tea cup that was set aside, but she froze because of Xia Ruan's words.

"Second cousin?" Concubine An never thought that it would be this answer, the former water nobleman was too eye-catching, so she didn't pay attention to the little maid who was not outstanding in appearance next to the water nobleman. But Concubine An also had to admit that Ning Guiren did have the ability to attract the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that she would hurt people because she was crazy, the emperor was afraid that he would continue to spoil her.

Moreover, what made Concubine An Guifei feel most strange was that she heard about Empress Jiang's birthday, and Empress Jiang deliberately let Xia Ruan's mother Li enter the palace. At that time, Ning Gui and Li met once, and Li was pale all the time.

Concubine An didn't take it to heart at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it turns out that there are flaws everywhere.

Thinking of this, Concubine An shook her head helplessly: "It turned out to be like this." ”

No one would have thought that the woman from the Western Regions who had always made the emperor feel excited was actually impersonated by the people of Great Qin. Moreover, this woman is also the second cousin of Mrs. Chang'an Hou.

"So, is your uncle still there?" Concubine An Guifei wanted to know about Ning Guiren, so she couldn't help but ask, "Ning Guiren's matter, you and let this palace know, this palace doesn't know how to know the cause of that incident from her mouth, so you must know more about her." ”

Xia Ruan naturally didn't dare to ask An Guifei what she wanted to hear from Xia Qinghe's mouth.

She didn't dare to talk about this kind of thing.

It's just that Xia Qinghe seems to have changed a lot now.

In the past, Xia Qingya was the most calm person, but after the death of the eldest uncle and aunt, Xia Qinghe seemed to have changed a lot overnight.

Xia Ruan didn't know what Xia Qinghe heard in Cinnabar, so it would become like this. It's just that Xia Ruan has always known that Cinnabar is not a kind-hearted person, he is more vicious than anyone else, and he is a very successful businessman.

Xia Ruan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "The eldest uncle and eldest aunt are gone." A fire that burned everything down. The courtiers always thought that the lobby sister and the second cousin also died in the fire, but the courtiers never thought that they were still alive. The courtiers had seen the hall sister in the temple, and now they have seen the second cousin in this palace. If it weren't for Concubine An Gui's mother, the courtiers would not have told outsiders about this for the rest of their lives. ”

An Guifei raised her head unhurriedly, Xia Ruan's words, she naturally knew what they meant.

If it weren't for her today, Xia Ruan would not have said this matter even if she died.

The corners of Xia Ruan's mouth pulled a helpless smile, "When I was young, the relationship between the courtiers and the two cousins was not good. At that time, I wanted to play with them, but I was afraid that they would reprimand the courtiers. Maybe it's because the memory of that meeting is so deep that when the courtiers see them, they will subconsciously want to find a place to hide. It was only later that the courtiers learned that some things could not be escaped for a lifetime. ”

An Guifei's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say a word.

She understands how it feels.

When she was young, she always wanted to play with her older sisters, but at that time she was ignorant, just thinking about how to get close to them, but she didn't want to be used again and again. When she grew up, she realized that whether it was in the house or in this dark deep palace, the so-called family affection sometimes seemed reliable, but sometimes it was the most unbearable thing.

"Do you know why Hongu is asking you these things?" Concubine An Guifei smiled slightly, her voice was a little hoarse, "This is the third thing this palace wants to tell you, this palace is now a month pregnant." But this palace didn't know who was the poisoner for the child in Ning Guiren's belly last time. Hongu is afraid, and he can't protect this child this time, so Hongu must know something from her mouth. ”

As she spoke, Concubine An put her hand on her flat lower abdomen, and her smile was very soft.

This kid was an accident.

When her first child was gone, she thought she would never be a mother for the rest of her life.

At that time, her heart was as uncomfortable as being pricked by thousands of needles.

When Xia Ruan gave her the prescription, she also had the mentality of giving it a try.

It's better to do that than to have no hope at all.

In this deep palace, every day and night is so long, and she slowly began to learn to believe in Buddhism like those concubines. Not because she really believed in ghosts, but because she didn't know how to spend her long days.

She once remembered a favored concubine crying to her and saying, "Concubine Angui, do you know how these terrible nights are spent for my sister? My sister took out all the jewelry, tried it one by one, and put it away when she saw that it looked good. When all the clothes and jewelry were finished, my sister went and took out the copper coins from the clay pot, and when she had counted the copper coins in the clay pot, the day was dawn. ”

As she spoke, the concubine pointed to the huge jar in the distance and smiled miserably.

An Guifei's heart was cold when she heard it, how many copper coins were in such a big jar, and if she wanted to count these copper coins, she was afraid that it would be more than one night.

However, they had no other way to pass the long time, but to find some fun for themselves.

After the child was gone, a trace of her love for the emperor was also wiped out.

As a woman, who doesn't want a child?

Concubine An Guifei wanted to have children in the past because she had the emperor in her heart, although there were countless women in this person, but his position was the king of a country, so although she had a grudge against it, she never hated it.

Now she wants children in order to secure her position in this palace.

The situation between Concubine Zeng and the eldest prince is getting worse and worse, and if Concubine Hui and the imperial concubine join forces, she will definitely not live long.

When she died, her family was gone.

She couldn't die like this.

So this child, although it was an accident, it also solved her urgent need.

"Concubine An, don't worry, the prince will be safe." Xia Ruan hurriedly spoke comfortingly, "He must be a rich and noble person." ”

Concubine An smiled, why didn't she want her child to be born safely.

"The main palace has not told anyone the news now, just because no one in the main palace believes it." Concubine An lowered her voice and choked up, "This palace doesn't even believe the emperor." Therefore, this palace must now know who the person who harmed Ning Guiren in the first place. The emperor hid this matter and did not punish anyone, so the palace could not find any clues at all. ”

Speaking of this, Concubine An Guifei grabbed Xia Ruan's hand, "Please, help Bengong, help Bengong get this news from Ning Guiren's mouth, Bengong wants this child to live." Please. (To be continued......)
