The Nala clan couldn't believe her ears, Yinzhen was actually ready to let go of the Niu Hulu clan like this, so wouldn't everything she did be in vain, how could a mere Imperial Doctor Xu be worth 50,000 taels of silver and the countless efforts she had spent on it.

She really wanted Yinzhen to deal with Niu Hulu's clan heavily, it was best to rob her of her position and then enter the cold palace and slowly torture her to this point, but she couldn't say. She has always been generous and dignified, gentle and benevolent, and has never been jealous of the favor of any concubine, which is why Yinzhen is willing to come over occasionally to sit and talk to her.

If she loses this layer of disguise, I'm afraid that Yinzhen won't even look at her.

So she gritted her teeth and didn't let herself make a little noise, until Yinzhen left Kunning Palace, she tightly loosened her clenched teeth, clenched too tightly and too hard, once she let go, she only felt that the whole row of gums was sour.

"Jade, do you know the way? The emperor is ready to spare Niu Hulu like this. She said to Jade who walked silently to her side, and a layer of blood-red hatred appeared in her eyes.

"The emperor has always been a partial concubine." Jade whispered, although she was not in the hall, she could guess it, and helped the slightly trembling Nala clan and said, "Master, then let's forget it like this?" ”

"What do you say?" Nala glanced at her coldly, even though Jade had been serving Nala for decades, she still couldn't help but lower her head and didn't dare to look directly.

For a long time, Nala slowly restrained the trembling of his body, looked at the direction of Yinzhen's departure and said word by word: "The more the emperor is partial to her, the more the palace will not be able to tolerate her, this time we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise if it goes on like this, I am afraid that in a few years, even the palace will no longer be able to restrain her!" ”

"But the emperor's side ......" Jade asked with some concern, if his master wants to deal with Concubine Xi, he must rely on the emperor's strength, after all, in this harem, the emperor is the one who can really decide the life and death of the masters. Now that the emperor has decided not to pursue it, how can the master use it?

"How can the play end before the play is performed, let's watch." Throw away this sentence, Nala will not say more, she will get rid of this thorn in the eye, definitely!

That night, when Ling Ruo sent a few dishes of prepared dishes with rice to the south study as usual, he unexpectedly found that Yinzhen was not looking at the excerpts, but sitting behind the desk playing with a green jade Pixiu paperweight, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ling Ruo didn't disturb him, but lightly put the side dishes and rice he brought on the purple-brown wenge table. was about to call Yinzhen, but when he looked up, he found that he had stood in front of him at some point, but he was startled, stroked his frightened chest and said angrily: "Why didn't the emperor make a sound when he came?" Without waiting for Yinzhen to answer, he asked again: "Why didn't I see the emperor today, but the disaster situation in various places has improved?" ”

Yin Zhen stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the dark and light lines on the small table, and said casually: "Concubine Xi is very concerned about this earthquake. “

Ling Ruo was stunned, when she got along in private, Yinzhen never called her title, she was commensurate with "Ruo'er", intimate and natural, but she didn't think deeply, and said while handing over the rosewood chopsticks: "This earthquake is serious, even the palace has been affected, and the homes of ordinary people must be more serious, not to mention that the emperor said last time that there was a big epidemic in Tongzhou, in addition to the surviving people, even the soldiers who went to the rescue were infected with the epidemic." ”

Yin Zhen ignored the chopsticks handed to her, just stared at her beautiful face, and suddenly said, "Concubine Xi, how many years have you been with me?" ”

Even if Ling Ruo was sluggish, he could sense that something was wrong with Yinzhen, but he didn't dare to ask, so he only replied truthfully: "Counting this year, it has been nineteen years." ”

"Nineteen years." Yin Zhen stroked her cheeks like congealed cream, and sighed: "Even if you are 100 years old, your life is only fifty-nine years. I still clearly remember the first time I saw Concubine Xi, almost the same as now, still beautiful. ”

"The emperor laughed." Ling Ruo's face flushed slightly and said, "The concubine is now in her thirties, how can she be compared to her teens." However, in the past nineteen years, I have been able to accompany the emperor, know each other, and the concubines are very happy. ”

"Really?" Yin Zhen asked lightly, his expression did not see any joy, put down his hand and said: "We know each other, that is to say, Concubine Xi has nothing to hide from me?" ”

Ling Ruo's eyelids jumped, and he had a vague sense of foreboding, but he couldn't guess the meaning of his words, so he could only smile and say, "How can the concubine hide something from the emperor......

"Still lying!" An angry shout suddenly came out of Yinzhen's mouth, startling Ling Ruo, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Yin Zhen was panting heavily, with anger and disappointment in his eyes, since he came back from Kunning Palace, he had thought for a long time, and had been hesitating to ask Ling Ruo for an explanation. No matter what he asked, he couldn't let go of this knot in his heart; asked, but I was afraid to hear the answer I didn't want to hear; For this matter, I was absent-minded all afternoon, and I didn't even bother to read the excerpts.

Shi Cai saw Ling Ruo come in, this kind of ** was even stronger, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, he hoped that Ling Ruo could answer truthfully, but he was disappointed, nineteen years of companionship, after countless ups and downs, but still couldn't make her tell the truth to herself, how could he not be disappointed.

Li Dequan, who was guarding outside the hall, heard that something didn't seem quite right inside, and pushed the door to come in, but as soon as he pushed half of the hall door, he heard Yinzhen's shouts from inside: "Stay outside, don't let anyone come in!" ”

This angry shout frightened him so much that he quickly changed the movement in his hand to push, and closed the door of the temple tightly in the "squeak" sound, and he didn't dare to enter even if the world was turned upside down.

"How long are you going to hide the matter with Imperial Doctor Xu?" When he asked this, Yin Zhen almost gritted his teeth, as long as he thought that Ling Ruo had a relationship with the person surnamed Xu, he had an indescribable anger.

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Ling Ruo's face turned pale, she never thought that Yinzhen would know about this matter, this ...... This...... How is it possible, since the Li family's incident, she has been extremely careful and tried to move out the people who originally lived near the Ling family, but now except for her own family, no one knows about it, how did Yinzhen know? And without warning.

In such a chaos, a snow light suddenly crossed in my mind, my sister once said that she saw the back of the suspected Yilan in the palace, and they all thought it was a missight, but what if it wasn't? Then it can explain why Yinzhen knew about this. It's just that Yinzhen summoned Yilan into the palace for no reason to ask about this?

"What, can't you speak?" Seeing that Ling Ruo was flustered and silent, Yin Zhen only said that she was too ashamed, speechless, and felt even more disappointed in her heart.
