Shu Mulu bowed his head and said: "Back to Niangniang's words, Concubine Cheng has never been sorry for her concubines since she was punished by the emperor for copying palace rules last time. ”

"Very good." Saying this, the smile on the corner of Nala's mouth deepened: "In this case, the Hui noble should have more time to serve the emperor, right?" But why does the emperor always go to Chengqian Palace and Changming Xuan, instead of your Shui Yixuan? ”

Shu Mulu's heart jumped, and he lowered his head more and more and said: "The concubines often go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to wait, but they ......"

"But you still can't keep the emperor, right?" Nala gently clasped the hand warmer in his arms, and when the sharp armor touched the hand stove, it made a "ding" sound, "Hui Guiren, this palace has spent so much energy to earn you today's status, you also have to have a snack, otherwise once the grace is thin, it will be difficult to recover it, and it is impossible for this palace to help you for a lifetime." ”

Shu Mulu said in a panic: "If you go back to your mother, the concubine has done her best, but the Liu family is now pregnant, and the emperor will inevitably treat her a little kindly." ”

"What about Concubine Xi, she is not pregnant, and she is not as young and beautiful as you, why does the emperor still go over often?" Nala showed his sleeves embroidered with peony patterns, looked at Shu Mulu who looked embarrassed, and said in a soothing tone: "This palace is not harsh on you, it's just that you are a person valued by this palace, and you have such a pair of seductive eyes, you really shouldn't stop here, let alone lose to anyone." Besides, the nobleman is not a serious name, it is too wronged for you, do you understand the meaning of this palace? ”

Shu Mulu secretly took a breath, lowered his head and said, "The concubine understands. ”

"It's good to understand." Nala raised his eyebrows adorned with fine spars and said meaningfully: "This palace is waiting for the good news of the Hui nobles. ”

Shu Mulu only responded, and when she walked out of Kunning Palace, although the autumn sun was bright and dazzling, she was cold all over her body and couldn't feel a trace of warmth.

When she walked into a no-man's corner, Yushan couldn't help but say: "Master, what did the queen mean by those words just now, why did the slave and maid hear it in a fog?" ”

Shu Mulu didn't speak, but Ruliu, who was supporting her on the side, shook her head and said: "It's a shame that you have been by your side, but you didn't even understand this, the queen mother clearly wanted the master to get rid of the humble person or Concubine Xi." ”

"Is that so?" Yushan exclaimed, a little unbelievable that the queen was hiding such a vicious mind, and then said indignantly: "Since she is not pleasing to Concubine Xi and the noble people, why doesn't she do it herself?" ”

"The queen mother has always been the best at borrowing a knife to kill people, how can she do it herself!" Shu Mulu finally spoke, and said coldly: "Although I don't know about Wen Rutian, I have seen her in the queen's palace before, and I think about it, she is also a pawn in the queen's hands, but when she had an accident, did the queen say anything?" It's just a sentence 'The Queen Mother should not see blood during the mourning period', and since then there has been no word, and Wen Ru has been left to fend for herself in the cold palace. ”

Yushan glanced left and right, saw that no one was passing by, and whispered: "The queen is really ruthless." ”

"It's not that the queen is ruthless, but that the palace should be like this." I don't know if it's because I've seen too much deceitful in the palace, or because I've eaten too much medicine sent by Yingchun, Shu Mulu feels that she seems to be getting more and more adapted to life in the palace, just like before she deliberately hurt her concubine and was punished, so that Huiqiu was beaten out of her mouth full of teeth, everything is natural, and even now in retrospect, she won't feel half guilty.

Ruliu was silent, in the palace, if you don't hurt others, others will harm you, if you want to be alone, it is simply impossible, just like the dead Concubine Hui, she never competes for favor, only raises Princess Jingyue to grow up, as a result, Princess Jingyue married Zhun Geer far away, life and death are unknown, Concubine Hui herself was killed by her own sister and turned into a handful of loess.

"So what do we do now? Is it really according to the queen's will to harm people? Faced with Yushan's question, Shu Mulu didn't speak, just looked at Ruliu and said softly: "What do you say?" ”

Ruliu hesitated for a long time, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "The master is a noble person who is personally sealed by the emperor, and he can only survive in the Forbidden City for the rest of his life, so the slave and maid ask the master to cherish himself well, and never be like before." ”

"I know it." Shu Mulu knew that she was talking about when she was bullied by Huiqiu without favor, yes, she would never want to go back on those days.

Yushan was about to ask again, but Ruliu had already grabbed her and said, "Don't talk too much, hurry up and help the master go back." ”

"But ......" Yu Shan just said two words, a cold hand under the autumn sun had already helped her cheek, and at the same time, Shu Mulu's voice came from her ears, "We are all the queen's pawns now, and the queen can only do what she says, otherwise, ...... Wen Rutian is my fate, understand? ”

Yushan looked up at her and said worriedly: "Master, it's too dangerous like this." ”

Shu Mulu shook his head and smiled wistfully, "Silly girl, the palace is a place full of crises, all I have to do is to survive in the crisis, if you can't even understand this, then wait to become a stepping stone for others." ”

Yushan felt the sadness and helplessness in Shu Mulu's heart, lowered her head and stopped talking, and said softly after helping Shu Mulu to return to Shui Yixuan: "Master, you rest for a while, the slave maid will make you tea." ”

After he went down, Shu Mulu's eyes turned and fell on Ruliu, who was much quieter than usual, "Why don't you speak?" But you think what I just said is wrong? ”

Ruliu hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, everything the master said is very right, the slave is just thinking about the queen, if the master really follows the queen's words and excludes Concubine Xi and the humble person, then will the next person the queen have to deal with ......" The latter words seemed to be a little difficult to speak, and he hesitated for a long time without saying it.

Shu Mulu knew it in his heart, and after taking the tea handed by Yushan, he said, "Are you afraid that the next person the queen will deal with will be me?" ”

Ruliu gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, the queen will not sit back and watch her master be favored, once there is no threat, she will inevitably abandon her master like abandoning the Wen family; Even if someone in the harem emerges to become the new favorite, the year after tomorrow is the year of the draft, and the queen can choose chess pieces to use from them, and for the queen, there will never be no chess pieces. ”

Shu Mulu looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea soup, and said word by word: "So if you want not to be abandoned by the queen, you can't become a useless person, Wen Rutian doesn't understand this truth, so she entered the cold palace, and I will never go through her again." ”

Ever since the Nala clan asked Yingchun to send medicine after every time she went to bed, she knew that the Nala clan did not really treat her well, let alone a good person. Therefore, although she respects the Nala clan on the surface, she is vigilant everywhere in her heart, trying not to let the Nala clan catch her any tricks.
