Chapter 31 The Most Ruthless Imperial Family

Luo Xue continued to walk towards the rest of the courtyard after asking, she didn't want to stand stupidly on this road just to listen to these words. If the content of the speech is listened to by someone with a heart, she will make a big fuss about it, saying that she is talking about Sikong Cangling's mother, then she will definitely be dismantled by Sikong Cangling.

Zhu Ren and Zhu Xue have been with Luo Xue for so long, and they also know that Luo Xue has a watertight temperament, and they must not let themselves have the opportunity to be framed by others, so they followed Luo Xue slowly towards Yuyuan.

Zhu Ren frowned, revealing a rare little unbearable, Zhu Xue saw Zhu Ren showing such an expression, and was even more curious about what was going on. And Luo Xue, I haven't heard Zhu Ren speak for a long time, and she doesn't urge her, it seems that the thing behind this matter is not so simple. Hey, when she thinks of what she has to experience living here, Luo Xue feels a headache!

After a while, Zhu Ren spoke, "In fact, not long before Concubine Ling was killed, it seemed that there was news that the emperor and Concubine Ling had a small conflict, and during that time, Concubine Ling seemed to have fallen out of favor, how could she stay in the room and not come out, and from time to time, you could hear the sound of Concubine Ling crying in the room in the middle of the night. And the emperor didn't seem to have any reaction after hearing about it, and he felt a little like letting Concubine Ling fend for herself. ”

"But no one will think that the emperor is ruthless, in the palace, such things happen from time to time, and others will only think that this is because of the concubine's pampering and arrogance will make the emperor angry. During that time, Concubine Ling and the twelve-year-old prince's life actually did not change much, the prince has been very smart since he was a child, and he learns everything very quickly, so the emperor loves and likes the prince very much, so even if there is a conflict with Concubine Ling, he often asks the prince to go to the emperor's study. And it is precisely because of this that even if Concubine Ling is not favored, the people in the palace do not dare to be presumptuous to Concubine Ling and the prince. It's just that Concubine Ling's mood is bad every day, and gradually the news that Concubine Lingfei is seriously ill spreads. ”

As he spoke, the three of them arrived at the Yu Courtyard, walked into the Yu Courtyard, and arrived at Luo Xue's bedroom, Luo Xue sat down and realized that Zhu Xue was already in tears without knowing when it started, and his eyes were red. Luo Xue wondered, could it be because she couldn't bear it because she heard what happened to Concubine Ling? Hey, this Zhuxue is really too kind. Luo Xue listened to Concubine Ling's words, and her heart was also a little uncomfortable, thinking about those women living in the deep palace, who didn't help herself! If you don't fight, you'll be completely forgotten and left to fend for yourself in a corner that no one knows, and maybe no one will care if you die. Luo Xue has seen too much life and death in modern times, and for Concubine Ling, the most she can do is sigh.

"Zhu Xue, don't be sad, there are a lot of such things in the deep palace, everyone can't help themselves, except for getting the emperor's favor, otherwise there will only be a tragic ending, everything is just a word from the emperor." Luo Xue comforted Zhu Xue twice.

Zhu Xue moved his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't say anything.

Luo Xue was helpless, Zhu Xue's old problem was committed again, she shook her head helplessly, and said, "Zhu Xue, just say what you want, there are not so many rules in Yu Yuan, just say whatever you want in the future." ”

Zhu Xue looked at Luo Xue with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears, choked up and said, "Miss, Zhu Xue is just not worth it for Concubine Ling." I don't know about other mothers, but Concubine Lingniang, Zhu Xue knows that she really loves the emperor, not for the enviable concubine. And Concubine Lingniang doesn't like to fight, this is known to everyone, in front of the emperor, Concubine Lingniang never hides anything, in her eyes, there is never only a husband, no king. ”

Luo Xue wondered, how did Zhu Xue know what kind of person Concubine Ling was?

Zhu Ren also felt strange, and both of them looked at Zhu Xue suspiciously.

Zhu Xue wiped away the tears on his face with his hand, and then spoke, "When I was seven years old, I saw Concubine Lingniang once. ”

Luo Xue and Zhu Ren were both surprised, neither of them knew about this.

Zhu Xue took a breath and continued, "At that time, I was going to buy the things that Shangshu Mansion needed with Grandma Wang, that is, on the street, I saw Concubine Lingniang. ”

"Grandma Wang? Is that the same Grandma Wang who died three years ago? Zhu Ren asked. This Grandma Wang is very good, and when she was in Shangshu Mansion, Luo Xue and the three of them were often taken care of by her. It is also because of Grandma Wang that Luo Xue has escaped many disasters. Luo Xue lost her mother when she was eight years old, and it was because of Grandma Wang that Luo Xue was able to live to this day, otherwise 'Luo Xue's kind personality would have been killed a long time ago. So to Grandma Wang, Luo Xue and the three of them are very grateful. It's just a pity that he hasn't had time to repay the kind old man, but he has no chance.

Zhu Xue shed tears and nodded, "Well, I have been staying in Shangshu Mansion at that time, I have never gone out, I really want to see what the outside world is like, Grandma Wang is very good to me, so I let her take me out of the mansion." That day, I saw Concubine Lingniang at the door of a jade shop, she was very beautiful, she seemed to be choosing something to give it to, I was young at the time, I didn't understand anything, I just thought she was very beautiful, so I kept staring at her. She was always smiling when she was choosing things, and she could tell she was happy. ”

After choosing something, I saw her come out with something, she took it in her hand, looked at it, and was very happy. I also saw that it was a waist pendant, but what was very special was that the shape of the waist pendant was a bamboo leaf, because it was made of turquoise warm jade, it looked crystal clear. ”

"As they walked past me, I heard the maidservant next to her say, 'Miss's vision is really excellent, this waist pendant is very unique, and the emperor will definitely like it.'"

"I thought she would be very happy to hear this, but her eyes suddenly seemed to dim a little, and she said, 'Well, he will like it, so I hope that in the future, this waist will remind him of the person who gave him it.'" The maidservant said again, 'Miss has always been by the emperor's side, even if you don't have this waist pendant, the emperor won't forget you.' And Concubine Lingniang didn't say much, but said, 'Let's go, go back!' ’”

"And at this time, Grandma Wang suddenly said in my ear, 'Hey, it's just a hard-working person!' I asked, 'Grandma Wang, do you know that beautiful sister?' Grandma Wang then told me that she was the emperor's woman, Concubine Ling, one of the kind women she had ever seen. I wonder why Grandma Wang would say that Concubine Ling is a hard-working person, I heard others say when I was in Shangshu Mansion that the emperor and Concubine Ling are very in love with each other, and Grandma Wang didn't tell me the reason. It wasn't until it was rumored a year later that Concubine Ling fell out of favor and passed away two years later, that I didn't know what Grandma Wang's words meant. ”

"Later, I learned that the time Concubine Ling went to buy that waist pendant for the emperor's birthday, I will never forget her happy smile at that time, and the words she said when she passed by me. Moreover, I never believed that Concubine Lingniang would be hated by the emperor because of the competition for favor, because Grandma Wang told me that Concubine Lingniang had never fought, she didn't care about identity, she didn't care about status, she just wanted to love her husband with everything she had, in the palace, she actually had many opportunities to expose the queen's conspiracy, just to not want the emperor to be distracted, so she never complained, these are what Grandma Wang told me, Grandma Wang will not lie to me. I also don't believe that the person who is willing to pick a birthday present for her husband in person will not love her husband, because she cares so much, it is because she loves. ”

"When I was a child, I didn't understand the meaning of those words, but now, I know the helplessness of Concubine Ling. Miss is right, she can't help herself in the palace, but Zhu Xue is still not worth it for Concubine Ling, Concubine Lingniang treats the emperor with everything, so she is worried that the emperor will not be comfortable. But in the end? Until Concubine Lingniang died, the emperor didn't take a look. Even if the young prince went to beg the emperor to see the concubine Lingniang, the emperor was indifferent. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Xue's tears couldn't stop falling more and more, choking up and unable to speak anymore.

Luo Xue stood up, walked to Zhu Xue's side, gently wiped the tears on her face, and sighed: "Hey, but they are all hard-working people, the most ruthless emperor's family!" Moreover, such a person is not only the spirit concubine in the palace. ”
