After lunch, Yinxiang used the excuse that Ling Ruo had a rare trip to the Forbidden City and wanted to show her around, so he pulled her out of Concubine De's palace. After they went out, Nian took a handkerchief and pursed the corners of his lips and smiled: "Ling Fujin and the Thirteenth Master seem to have only met a few times, and they are already so good, people who don't know the Dao still think that Ling Fujin is the person of the Thirteenth Master!" ”

Her seemingly unintentional words made Concubine De's eyebrows frown slightly, glanced at the two who left side by side, and said to Yinzhen euphemistically: "The old thirteen temperament is active and loves to mess around, I don't know where to run with Ling Ruo, in case it collides with which palace Niangniang." Fourth, you have a calm temperament, so it's better to go together and watch them. ”

"Yes." Yin Zhen agreed, and walked out after Ling Ruo and the others.

After Yinxiang went out of Changchun Gong, he led Ling Ruo all the way to Jingren Palace, since Concubine Rong was grounded, Jingren Palace is now a crowd, deserted, and no longer the lively scene of the past. The master fell out of favor, and the minions below were lazy if they could be lazy, and even the eunuchs guarding the door didn't know where to go, and there was no one guarding the huge palace gate, allowing people to enter and exit.

"Do you really want to go in?" Looking at the Jingren Palace close at hand, Yinxiang once again persuaded that Rong Guifei's fall from grace can be said to be due to Ling Ruo, although she still has the name of a concubine, but in fact, she doesn't even have an official name, and she can't even agree, Rong Guifei definitely can't wait to cut Ling Ruo with a thousand knives in her heart, and Yinxiang is really afraid that something will happen when they meet.

Ling Ruo took a deep breath and said calmly towards Yinxiang: "Thank you Thirteenth Master for bringing me here, I can go in by myself, I don't dare to bother Thirteenth Master anymore." ”

Yinxiang waved his hand and said: "It seems that you are determined to go in, that's it, since you are here, how can there be any reason not to go in, not to mention that no one leads you in, in case you are held accountable to enter, it is a trespass in the palace, the crime can be big or small, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" The two were just about to take a step, when Yinzhen's voice suddenly sounded behind them.

The two were startled, and when they turned around, they saw that Yinzhen was looking at them indifferently, Yinxiang touched his nose and snorted, "I didn't go anywhere, didn't I say it just now, my sister-in-law rarely entered the palace, so take her around." He promised Ling Ruo not to call when he was outside, but this outsider did not include Yinzhen.

"As a result, as soon as you left, you came to Jingren Palace? Still sneaky? Yin Zhen naturally noticed that Yin Xiang called Ling Ruo, but he didn't say anything, he just glared at him angrily, every time Yin Xiang lied, he couldn't help but touch his nose, and he couldn't fool him at all.

Ling Ruozhi couldn't hide it from Yinzhen, so he pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Fourth Master, don't blame the Thirteenth Master, I begged him to take me to Jingren Palace." ”

After listening to the original story, Yinzhen's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen anyone similar to you among Huang Ama's concubines, and the thirteenth brother has no impression, which means that even if there is someone similar to you, it is still a person from Kangxi twenty years ago, and now it is either abolished or ruined." Speaking of this, Yinxiang interjected: "A few years ago, I accidentally broke into the cold palace and saw the waste concubine who was imprisoned in the cold palace, but I didn't see anyone similar to my sister-in-law. ”

Yin Zhen rubbed his chin and looked at Ling Ruodao, "Could it be that you are thinking too much?" As far as I know, you Ama has a holiday with the Crown Princess's Amma, and Concubine Rong is the Crown Princess's aunt, even if she really has the heart to target you, it is very normal. ”

"What about Concubine De, why is she also distracted when she sees me?" Ling Ruo asked him rhetorically, categorically.

The rare persistence and stubbornness in her eyes made Yinzhen's heart move, remembering that when Ling Ruo first came at the end of last year, Kangxi specially called him to the Heart Cultivation Hall after the court meeting to tell Ling Ruo, so that he not only treated her well, but also promoted her position at the right time. I still remember the loneliness and longing that Huang Ama inadvertently revealed when he talked about this......

It is unfair for the daughter of a court official to be demoted to a concubine, but if she is just an ordinary show girl, she will definitely not attract the attention of Emperor Amaraus, let alone anger Concubine Rong, is her suspicion true? Ling Ruo is really similar to a certain deceased concubine, so the emperor loves the house and Wu?

Concubine De must have known the truth, but since she didn't say it just now, it would be in vain to ask again, and it would cause a lot of unhappiness. Yinzhen thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to Ling Ruo's request, and accompanied her into the gate of Jingren Palace with Yinxiang.

Jingren Palace is now like a cold palace, the whole palace looks empty, almost no palace maids and eunuchs can be seen all the way, the ground is covered with withered leaves and residual flowers, there is a small sound of trembling on the ground, it can be seen that no one has cleaned it for a long time, a gust of autumn wind blows, rolling up the leaves and scattering around, making the already depressed Jingren Palace even more dilapidated.

Fingers swept over the vermilion railing, bringing up the dust on his hand, Ling Ruo sighed in his heart, a woman in the deep palace, her life's honor and favor are tied to the king's body, if she loses the king's favor, even if her position is high and her status is noble, it is only in vain.

Ling Ruo blew away the dust from his fingertips, glanced at Yin Zhen, raised his hand and pushed open the vermilion six-sided palace door and walked in, the autumn sun was shining outside, bright and dazzling; The inside of the temple was gloomy and dark, and there was no ray of sunlight in sight.

"Who?" A ghostly woman's voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and Ling Ruo, who had pierced through the haze of the room, saw a woman covering her face with her hand to block the dazzling autumn sun, and only after getting used to the sudden sunlight did she slowly put down her hand, revealing an aging face, who was not Rong Guifei.

Compared with the last time, she is not only thinner, but also much older, as if the years have been taken away in an instant. His pale face was full of wrinkles, his lips were a dead gray white, he could see large swaths of white hair on his sideburns, and he wore a half-old rust red and silver trimmed flag suit, with many strands at the cuffs and neckline. If it weren't for the fact that the contour of that face was still there, Ling Ruo would have almost been able to connect her with the noble woman before.

"It's you!" The moment she saw Ling Ruo clearly, Concubine Rong suddenly got up and stared at Ling Ruo firmly, her deep hatred burned wildly in her eyes, and before others could react, she had already pounced with her teeth and claws, pinched Ling Ruo's neck fiercely and said sharply: "This palace is all due to you, and this palace wants to kill you!" Kill you!"

Ling Ruo was caught off guard and was strangled by her neck, she couldn't breathe all of a sudden, and desperately wanted to tear her hands away, but the hands that were as thin as chicken feet were like iron casting at the moment, she couldn't break a penny at all, but her hands and feet began to weaken gradually because of suffocation, and her eyes were even blacker.

"Concubine Rong, what are you doing?!Let her go!" Yin Zhen and the others didn't expect Concubine Rong to be so crazy, as soon as they met, they wanted Ling Ruo's life, they didn't think much about it, and quickly broke her hands left and right.

Ling Ruo covered her red neck and breathed hard, it took a long time to recover from the pain of suffocation, but there was still a shocking bruise on her neck, if it wasn't for Yinzhen and them this time, she might have been strangled to death by Concubine Rong.

"Concubine, calm down!" Yinzhen pressed down hard against the struggling Rong Guifei and scolded, I don't know where Rong Guifei got so much strength, he and Yinxiang were a little unable to hold it down, and she almost broke free several times.

"Calm down? Look at Jingren Palace and then look at this situation, and then look at the appearance of this palace, fourth elder brother, how do you want this palace to calm down?!" Concubine Rong stared at Yinzhen with red eyes, and she couldn't see anything else in her eyes except hatred.

Yinxiang said coldly on the side: "If you hadn't wronged your sister-in-law and sent her to the fourth brother's mansion as Gege, how could Huang Ama be angry and grounded you in Jingren Palace, everything is the concubine's own fault, who can blame her." ”
