Ling Ruo looked away with satisfaction and said to Xiao Ningzi, who had always been on guard, "Okay, Father-in-law Ning, let's go." ”

Xiao Ningzi agreed, walked to Ling Ruo's side, and walked out step by step, his eyes peeking at Sanfu from time to time, lest he attack again, fortunately, along the way, Sanfu did not go crazy, and honestly followed all the way to Kunning Palace.

When he walked to the gate of Kunning Palace, which had been in and out countless times, Sanfu suddenly stopped, his expression was very complicated, and his feet were trembling incessantly, and now this threshold was tantamount to a ghost gate for him, and he might never have a chance to come out again. But the jade is in it, and no matter what, he will go in, and if he cannot live together, he will die together. The only thing I regret now is that I followed such a ruthless and selfish master, but unfortunately this is the fate of him and Jade, which is unbearable, and it is too late to regret it.

"Are you scared?" I don't know when, Ling Ruo came to his side, and the beautiful voice fell into his ears like a floating cloud.

"I'm afraid." After answering like this, Sanfu said again: "I already know that Lu Dao will be like this, but I still can't help but be afraid, isn't the slave very useless?" ”

Ling Ruo shook his head lightly, looked at the palace close at hand, and said, "Fear of death is human nature, why is it useless to say it; Besides, it's a lot of courage for you to admit that you're afraid. But this palace won't let you die, Sanfu, do you believe in this palace? ”

Sanfu turned his head and looked at Ling Ruojiao's beautiful side face seriously, as if he had just met her, and somehow in his mind, he remembered that many years ago, because she suddenly lost her beloved daughter, her emotions could not be controlled, so she offended the emperor and was sent to another courtyard.

Concubine Xi at that time must have hated herself to death; And at that time, I was also full of disdain for Concubine Xi who was in distress, thinking that she had come to the end of each other.

At that time, I was afraid that I would never have dreamed that one day, I would be cornered by my master, so I came to ask Concubine Xi for help, and the world was really unpredictable.

Seeing that Sanfu hadn't answered for a long time, Ling Ruo turned his head sideways and said, "What, don't you believe it?" ”

"No!" When he said this word, Sanfu's voice was unusually affirmative, and even he himself felt incredible, "The slave believes in Niangniang." ”

A smile appeared in those bright eyes, and people couldn't take their eyes off it, so they only heard her say: "If you believe, then go in." ”

As these words fell, Ling Ruo led everyone across the threshold and entered the Kunning Palace, and when they arrived inside, they saw that the Nala clan was sitting at the head of the bed with his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking under his calm expression.

In a faint smile, Ling Ruo bowed his sleeves, "The concubine sees the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Nala slowly opened his eyes, raised his eyes and said, "Why did Concubine Xi come here today?" ”

Ling Ruo said without humility or arrogance: "The concubine has always wanted to come to see Niangniang, and she was afraid of disturbing Niangniang's injury, so she has dragged it out until now, and I hope Niangniang will not be surprised." ”

"You can come to see this palace because you have a heart, how can this palace be strange." Saying this, she glanced at the maid beside her and said, "Yingchun, sit for Concubine Xi." ”

"Hey, why don't you see Aunt Jade, I always saw her waiting by my mother's side in the past." Regarding Ling Ruo's question, Nala only said lightly: "When did Concubine Xi care so much about the people around the palace. As soon as his gaze turned, he fell on Sanfu, although he kept his head down, how could the Nala clan not recognize it, and suddenly the coldness in his eyes was chilling, even if Sanfu lowered his head, he felt it, and subconsciously lowered it, only Ling Ruo still looked like he was nothing.

Xiao Ningzi saw that it was empty, and hurriedly stepped forward with a sad face: "The slave asks the master for peace, and the master is auspicious." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Nala didn't see Xiao Ningzi's appearance until now, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his hair was messy, and he obviously looked like he had been beaten by someone, but Xiao Ningzi was her person, who dared to touch him?

Xiao Ningzi waited for this sentence, and hurriedly said: "Back to the master's words, the slave just went to inquire about the whereabouts of Sanfu, and when he arrived outside the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xi Niangniang obviously took in Sanfu, but deliberately said that she didn't know what to do, and later was discovered by the slave, so she let Sanfu beat the slave well, and the slave's face was injured by him. ”

He deliberately concealed An'er's words and didn't say anything, because he felt that everything was just a show, Concubine Xi was intent on taking in Sanfu, An'er was just the one who took the blame, if he hadn't found Sanfu so coincidentally, An'er wouldn't have stood up at all.

"Is there such a thing?" Nala's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ling Ruo and said: "Concubine Xi, Sanfu is a person from the palace, he made a mistake and ran away, if you don't come to tell the palace, you can just take it in private, what is the reason?" ”

Ling Ruo owed a debt in the chair, and did not defend himself, but said: "Niangniang forgive the sin, there is another misunderstanding in this matter, and the concubine wants to ask more, what mistake did Sanfu make, and he was afraid to escape from Kunning Palace." ”

Hearing this, Nala's hand on the brocade quilt tightened slightly, for the first time in so many years, she had tasted the taste of being betrayed by the people around her, the pain on her skin, the pain in her heart, and it also made her hate it to the heart, and it was difficult to suppress it. However, after all, the Nala clan is a person who is extremely deep in the city, and he has recovered for a moment, and his hand has been loosened, "When did Concubine Xi become so concerned about the affairs of the people around the palace, this is not like your usual life. ”

Ling Ruo smiled and said: "Niangniang is in the middle palace, her every move attracts the attention of the world, and the concubines have always admired Niangniang, so naturally they are more curious, which makes Niangniang smile." But ......" she dragged out her voice and said: "If it is inconvenient to say what Sanfu has done, Niang Niangquan will not ask about it." ”

"There's nothing bad to say, Sanfu and Jade have a personal affair and violate the palace rules, and the palace will ask the two of them for their crimes." Nala wasn't ready to hide it, but she just wanted her to say it herself, and she always felt a little ashamed. Thinking that her Nala clan has always been strict, and she does not allow her subordinates to make the slightest mistake, but at the end, the two most relied on her in private and betrayed her.

Ling Ruowei bowed his head and said, "In this way, it really deserves to be punished." In Nala's slightly narrowed eyes, she said to Sanfu: "Now that your master wants to ask you for sin, what can you say?" ”

Sanfu listened to it with sadness on the side, and if he was emotional, he violated the palace rules, how different such palace rules were from torture, but what really made him sad was Nala's attitude, without a trace of affection, or even a trace of reluctance.

Thinking like this, he knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed to Nala with tears streaming down his face, "Master, it was the slave who seduced the jade, it's not about the jadeite, if you want to punish the slave, all the mistakes are the slave's fault, please let the jade go, she has always been loyal to the master, and she has never betrayed the slightest hint of betrayal." ”
