When An'er brought the goat's milk, Shu Mulu took a sip and praised: "The milk is rich, the taste is mellow, and the warmth is just right, it is really good, and it feels better than the one sent to the concubine." ”

Ling Ruo smiled and said: "It's all sent by the Internal Affairs Office, where is the difference, but if you really think that the palace is here, the palace will let people send some to you later." ”

"Thank you, mother." Saying this, Shu Mulu held the goat's milk cup and said: "When the concubine came over just now, she heard a sensational thing in the imperial garden, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ling Ruo's casual expression immediately turned into solemnity and surprise when he heard Shu Mulu's next sentence. ”

Shu Mulu said with some hesitation: "It's about the fourth elder brother." ”

Ling Ruo put the teacup he was about to drink to the side and said, "Hongli? What happened to him? ”

Shu Mulu desperately suppressed the pride and happiness in his heart, and said slowly: "The concubine heard that the fourth elder brother was harmed in Fuzhou, and now she has ......."

Ling Ruo's body trembled, staring at Shu Mulu and asking, "How is it already?" ”

"It's already ......" Shu Mulu looked at her, sighed deliberately, and said, "It's already gone." ”

Her four words lightly and skillfully fell on Ling Ruo's ears, but they exploded like thunder, and she couldn't believe it, and she said for a long time: "You...... Say what you say, say it again!"

Shu Mulu looked at Ling Ruo's bloodless face without blinking, and said clearly word by word: "The concubine said that the fourth elder brother has already died." ”

Before Ling Ruo could speak, Shui Xiu had already said categorically: "Impossible, the emperor has already said that the situation in Fuzhou is calm, and the fourth elder brother will be summoned back to Beijing soon, how could he suddenly die, and please don't talk nonsense here." ”

Shu Mulu said with a sad face: "I also hope that this is nonsense, but the two palace people in the imperial garden said that they have noses and eyes, which makes people have to believe it, otherwise the concubine will not mention this matter in front of the mother." In fact, the emperor knows best whether this is true or false, and the mother will know it as soon as she asks. ”

"No, Hongli will be fine!" Ling Ruo stood up and muttered the same words, his body shaking lightly, looking like he was about to fall at any moment.

Seeing Ling Ruo like this, Shui Xiu and Yang Hai's hearts suddenly hung up, everyone knew that the fourth elder brother was Ling Ruo's lifeblood, the fourth elder brother was poisoned last time, and the master was already going crazy, if this time the fourth elder brother really ...... They couldn't imagine what would happen.

Yang Hai motioned to Shui Xiu to hold Ling Ruo, and he said to Shu Mulu's family: "Although the lady has been deposed as a concubine, she was also a noble person before, how can she be so ignorant, just listening to the two palace people chewing their tongues and believing it." If something really happened to the fourth elder brother, why didn't my mother know the way, and the two palace people would know the way? In Shu Mulu's increasingly ugly face, he said: "If the lady is just to talk about this, please go back, this kind of thing made out of nothing, don't listen to it." ”

Shu Mulu was secretly annoyed in his heart, Yang Hai was just a lowly minion, and he dared to talk to her like this, it was simply disrespectful, hum, and let him be proud for a few more days, if the fourth elder brother is really dead, see that this Chengqian Palace is not crying.

Thinking like this, Shu Mulu stood up with Ruliu's hand and said: "I am also kind, since Niangniang and Yang Gonggong both think that I am troublesome, then I haven't said it, but according to me, such a major matter, even if there is only a trace of possibility, you should ask clearly, Niangniang, do you say yes?" ”

Shui Xiu was very angry when she saw Ling Ruo's lost soul, and when she heard Shu Mulu's words at this moment, she was even more angry, and said with a bad face: "My master's affairs, don't bother the lady, the lady should go back and take care of the fetus, don't worry about it, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are tired of the dragon fetus." ”

Choked by her like this, Shu Mulu's face sank, and he said with a cold smile: "Niangniang's palace people are really more eloquent than the other, and even forget their own identity, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority." ”

Shui Xiupi said with a smile: "The slave and maid remember their identity very well, and they are the aunt in charge next to the master, who was originally the eighth grade, and was promoted by the master and promoted to the seventh grade; If you want to say that there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, forgive the slave and maid for asking more, how many products is the lady now? ”

Seeing that she spoke so unkindly, Ruliu Protector was heartfelt, and blurted out: "Although my lady has no position now, she is pregnant with a true dragon fetus. ”

Shui Xiu was annoyed that Shu Mulu said something about the fourth elder brother for no reason, which made the master uneasy, so as soon as he heard Ruliu's words, he unceremoniously retorted: "The dragon fetus is to be respected, but if the person who is pregnant with the dragon fetus does not hold his own identity and always does something that should not be done, then it is no wonder that others are disrespectful!" ”

How could Shu Mulu not understand Shui Xiu's words of scolding Huai, if Ling Ruo said this, she could only endure it even if she was unhappy because of her identity, but now it was Shui Xiu who said this, a humble palace maid, how could she endure it, "Shui Xiu, although you are the palace person next to Concubine Xi, you should also know the proportions, I was kind enough to tell Concubine Xi about this, if you don't appreciate it, it's just that, you still want to spew blood and slander me, what is the reason?!" ”

Shui Xiu said coldly: "The slave maid is just telling the facts, and she has not slandered anyone, as for the four words of blood spitting people, the slave and maid can't afford it!" ”

"You ......" Shu Mulu was about to say more, a cold drink suddenly sounded in her ears, but it was Ling Ruo, I saw her staring at them with a sinking face, "Have you quarreled enough?" ”

Seeing that Ling Ruo was angry, Shui Xiu hurriedly lowered his head, Shu Mulu saw her like this, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said with a fake smile on his face: "Niang Niang forgives her sins, the concubine didn't want to do something that would be such a loss of identity as arguing with a palace maid, but Shui Xiu was too much, and the concubine was forced to ...... talent."

"Did this ask you this?" After unceremoniously interrupting Shu Mulu's words, Ling Ruo broke away from Shui Xiu's support, walked up to Shu Mulu step by step, and said word by word: "This palace asks you, you said that you heard two palace people in the imperial garden say that Hongli had an accident in Fuzhou, is it true?" ”

She didn't dare to say the word, and she didn't dare to think that she couldn't lose Hongli, absolutely not!

I don't know why, facing Ling Ruo's eyes, Shu Mulu was a little stunned, and there was an urge to leave, but it was only a momentary impulse, she came here to see Niu Hulu's heartbroken appearance because of Hongli's death, and now she was going to see it, how could she leave; On the contrary, she has to keep her eyes open and see clearly, and don't miss such a wonderful moment.
