Not only the palace maid was anxious, but Shu Mulu was also anxious, she always thought that Yinzhen was named the imperial concubine because she favored Niu Hulu, but listening to the meaning of this palace maid, there seemed to be another hidden secret.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, I heard that it was because the fourth elder brother was killed in Fuzhou, and the emperor was promoted to the position of Concubine Xi out of guilt."

The next moment, another palace maid exclaimed, "What? The fourth elder brother is dead? How so? ”

"I don't know what to say, I also heard what people said, but it should be true, otherwise how could the emperor be in the position of Concubine Xi for no reason. That's the imperial concubine, equivalent to the deputy queen, since the emperor ascended the throne, there has never been an imperial concubine! The palace maid with a slightly sharp voice showed a deep sense of envy.

"What about the deputy queen, I can't get the fourth elder brother. Concubine Xi loves the fourth elder brother like that, if she knows that the fourth elder brother is dead, she has to die sadly. By the way, didn't the emperor send a lot of people to protect the fourth elder brother, how could something happen, and what happened to the second elder brother? ”

"I heard that the second elder brother and the fourth elder brother had an accident when they went to a place called Lianjiang County together, the second elder brother was lucky, although he was seriously injured, but he escaped, the fourth elder brother was not so lucky, no one killed him and burned it to charcoal!" Speaking of the back, the palace maid sighed a few times.

The palace maid who spoke later said in a low voice: "The fourth elder brother is very good, it's a pity to die like this." ”

"Whatever it is, it's not our turn anyway. By the way, I still have to go to the Huanyi Bureau to get my clothes, so you can go with me. ”

Hearing the footsteps gradually moving away, Shu Mulu let out a sigh of relief, and slowly let go of the hand holding Ruliu, unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that this trip to the Imperial Garden would have such a big harvest.

Fourth elder brother, unexpectedly ...... He's dead?

After being stunned, her first feeling was that she wanted to laugh, God really had eyes, so that Niu Hulu lost her only son, and she was helpless and lonely for the rest of her life.

Since Amma's death, this was the first good news she had heard, "Ruliu, did you hear that?" Niu Hulu's son died, died in Fuzhou. ”

Ruliu was still in shock, and when she heard Shu Mulu's words, she said a little numbly: "Yes, the slave heard it." Master, is the fourth elder brother really dead? ”

Shu Mulu hooked the corners of his lips and said: "Nine times out of ten, otherwise why would the emperor suddenly make Niu Hulu the imperial concubine, but I don't know where the two palace maids heard about it." If it weren't for the fear of alarming people, she would have laughed a lot, it was a long time since she had been so happy. Saying this, a thought suddenly floated in his heart, "Ruliu, you said that if Concubine Xi knew that her position as the imperial concubine was exchanged for her son's life, what would happen to her?"

Ruliu's body was shocked, and he looked at Shu Mulu and said, "Master, don't you want to tell Concubine Xi about this?" Don't, this matter hasn't been clarified yet, in case it's just those palace people talking nonsense, wouldn't it be bad. ”

Ruliu's words made Shu Mulu hesitate for a moment, but quickly said: "Even if it's true or false, it has nothing to do with me, it's those two palace maids who have nothing to do and chew their tongues, I was deceived by them, and I'm worried about our concubine Xi, so I made a mistake, not intentionally." ”

"In fact, even if the master doesn't say it, sooner or later it will reach the ears of Concubine Xi, why should the master be in a hurry!" Ruliu tried to persuade Shu Mulu to give up this idea, but Shu Mulu held back for so long, and finally found an opportunity, how could he give up, "No, I'm really anxious, Ruliu, these days Concubine Xi framed me for my family, I have never forgotten, it was she who caused my family to be ruined, it was she who made me so miserable, if I can't avenge this with my own hands, after I die, how can I have the face to see Ama and Eniang." Even if this time it was wrong and the fourth elder brother did not die, at least she could taste the pain of losing her loved ones. ”

Seeing that Shu Mulu said this, Ruliu could say anything more, nodded, and helped Shu Mulu all the way to Chengqian Palace.

The arrival of the Shu Mulu clan surprised the whole Chengqian Palace, Yang Hai got the report of the little eunuch guarding the palace gate, and quickly came to the palace to bow down to Ling Ruo, who was explaining the matter, and said: "Master, the Shu Mulu clan of Shui Yixuan is here." ”

"She?" Ling Ruo suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes full of surprise, "What is she doing here?" ”

Yang Hai shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know, she only said that she has something to ask to see her master." ”

How deep is the feud between Shu Mulu and herself, Ling Ruo knows very well in her heart, although there is no evidence to prove that Shu Mulu Gongming did it, but Shu Mulu should have guessed that she should hate herself in her heart, why did she still run over, is it because Yinzhen decreed that she was crowned the imperial concubine?

Thinking like this, Ling Ruo raised his chin and said, "Let her in." ”

"Huh!" Soon after Yang Hai retreated, he led Shu Mulu, who had a bulging lower abdomen, in, who walked to the hall with his head down, put his hands on his side and bent his knees: "The concubine has seen Concubine Xi Niangniang, Niangniang is blessed!" ”

"Please." Ling Ruowei raised her hand and said casually: "I really didn't expect the lady to come to the Chengqian Palace, and I thought that the lady didn't want to see the palace." ”

Shu Mulu smiled and said: "Niangniang said that I laughed, although the concubine and you have some misunderstandings, but they are all trivial matters, where is it so serious that you don't want to see it." It's just that the concubine's constitution was weak and cold before, and the fetal gas was unstable, and Imperial Doctor Xu confessed that she should rest in peace and recuperate, and it was not suitable to go to the ground, so she always asked the mother to say goodbye. ”

Ling Ruo's gaze swept over his abdomen, and he said lightly: "Listen to the lady's meaning, now the dragon fetus is stable?" ”

"I think it's because the month is older, it's much better than before, and the concubine saw that the weather was good today, so she came over to say goodbye to the concubine, hoping that the concubine wouldn't be abrupt."

"Where did the lady say this, you come to see the palace, it's too late for the palace to be happy, and where will there be something abrupt." Saying this, she said to An'er, who came in with tea: "How can you drink tea when you are pregnant, go and bring a cup of goat's milk, remember to be warm." ”

Shu Mulu said with a touched face: "Thank you Niangniang for being so careful." ”

"You're pregnant with a dragon fetus now, so you should be careful." The two of them were laughing and talking insincerely.

Shu Mulu said with a smile: "The concubine is here, one is to ask Niangniang to say goodbye, and the other is to congratulate Niangniang Niangniang for being promoted to the imperial concubine, Niangniang is the first imperial concubine to be established by the emperor on the throne, which is really gratifying." ”

"The emperor treats him well, and the palace is really ashamed of it, but the emperor's holy will has been decided, and he can't refuse, so the palace can only accept it." Ling Ruo said quietly, she knew very well that with Shu Mulu's festival with herself, she would never sincerely congratulate herself, and there must be other purposes.
