Wen Ruyan pretended to be displeased and said: "The three of us have been sisters for many years, how can we say that we are not implicated, not to mention that even if we don't go today, there will be trouble in the future." Okay, don't say it, go quickly, save yourself from going too late and add another sin. ”

Ling Ruo smiled forgively, but finally did not insist, because neither of them took the shoulder, they simply walked to Kunning Palace together. When I got there, I saw that the Nala clan was already inside, and the Nian clan was also there, talking with the Queen Mother.

Wu Yashi, who was originally pleasant-looking, saw Ling Ruo come in, his expression suddenly sank, and that rare smile disappeared without a trace.

"The concubine asks the emperor to say goodbye, and the emperor is auspicious." If the three of them salute at the same time, all the serious masters above the concubines in the palace can be called the queen mother, and as for the distance between relatives, it is another matter.

Wu Yashi looked at Ling Ruo, who was standing in the middle, and didn't scream, just stroked the smooth and neat sideburns and said word by word: "Concubine Xi is back, good, very good!" ”

The same good word, coming out of the mouths of Wen Ruyan and the Queen Mother, but it was completely two meanings, Ling Ruo's heart sank, and she clenched the silk in her hand slightly, and the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with her seemed to be a little more than expected.

Nian Shi curled the corners of his lips and said: "Huang Eniang, Concubine Xi is very good, not only let the emperor personally pick her up, but also enter from the Qing Gate, such an honor, but even the queen has never enjoyed it." Speaking of the last sentence, a slight schadenfreude swept across Nala's face.

Niu Hulu's step can be regarded as a slap in the face of this queen mother

Nala's eyelids jumped slightly, but her expression was still as calm as water, only she knew that the ten fingers hidden in the tips of her sleeves were trembling with resentment.

"Niu Hulu, are you guilty?!" Wu Yashi stared at Ling Ruo and suddenly became difficult, his voice was as cold as a cold wind, blowing through Ling Ruo's ears, and there was a sting pain like a knife.

Ling Ruo hurriedly knelt down and said, "The concubine is guilty and asks the Queen Mother for forgiveness." ”

Wu Yashi snorted angrily and said: "What kind of place is the Daqing Gate, the main gate of the Forbidden City, except for the queen's wedding, champion and first, only the emperor can enter and exit, as a concubine, you know that this is a big taboo, but you still return to the palace from the Daqing Gate, Niu Hulu, there is still a mourning family in your eyes, and there is a queen?" ”

"The concubine deserves death!" Ling Ruo hurriedly fell to the ground and pleaded guilty, "But the concubines will never dare to have the slightest disrespect for the emperor and the queen." ”

Wen Ruyan saw this scene, and hurriedly knelt down, "Huang Eniang......" She was just about to intercede for Ling Ruo, Wu Ya's cold gaze turned sideways, and said unceremoniously: "The mourning family knows that you and Concubine Xi are good, but this Cining Palace does not have your share of interfering!" ”

was beaten back by Wu Ya's words, Wen Ruyan didn't dare to speak again, so she could only be secretly anxious on the side. Guarga lowered his head, but finally did not speak.

In fact, this Daqing Gate was ordered by Yinzhen to let Ling Ruo enter, although it is inconsistent with the palace rules, but it cannot blame Ling Ruo for all the faults, but in this situation, the Queen Mother was clearly instigated by the queen and the young concubine, and deliberately reprimanded. Unless the emperor comes forward, no one can ask for this favor.

Wu Yashi stared at her for a long time, and said slowly: "The mourning family asked you, did Concubine Jing die of you?" ”

For a while, Cining Palace became extremely silent, as if even the sound of breathing disappeared, in such a terrifying silence, Ling Ruo kowtowed, and forced himself to calm down: "The concubine and Concubine Jing are good friends, and they were taken care of by Concubine Jing when they were in the Yongwang Mansion, how could the concubine be ungrateful to die Concubine Jing, and what is the benefit of doing this to the concubine, please also ask the Queen Mother to learn from it!" ”

Nian snorted lightly and said: "You don't want to make quibbles, Concubine Jing's letter, this palace saw it with your own eyes, you and Imperial Doctor Xu were afraid of being exposed, so they conspired to kill Concubine Jing." ”

Ling Ruo straightened up, looked at Nian Shi fixedly, and said, "Dare to ask Guifei, where is this letter now?" She remembered that on that day, Nian handed the letter to Yinzhen, so she concluded that she couldn't take it out at the moment.

Sure enough, Nian's face changed slightly, "The palace has already handed over this letter to the emperor, and you are present when you are there, so why ask knowingly." ”

"Yes, the concubine has also read the letter, the concubine has known Concubine Jing for many years, and she also knows a little about her handwriting, the letter that day ......" The corners of her lips raised, and she said word by word: "It's not Concubine Jing's handwriting." ”

"You talk nonsense!" As soon as Nian Shi heard this, he suddenly got up, and his carefully groomed fingertips pointed at Ling Ruo and said hatefully: "That letter was obviously handed over to the palace by the person who was waiting for Concubine Jing, how can it be fake." Also, if you didn't get along with Imperial Doctor Xu, why did you go out of the palace to save him as soon as you heard that he was in danger? ”

"What the concubine said is true, there is nothing false, Concubine Jing died suddenly, and the concubine was also very sad in her heart." Ling Ruo sobbed and said to Wu Yashi, who was silent with a heavy face: "As for Imperial Doctor Xu, it is true that the concubine knows him, but he is innocent, and there is absolutely no such thing. The concubine was able to give birth to Hongli safely back then, thanks to Imperial Doctor Xu, so when he was in trouble, how could the concubine stand by and watch. ”

"You!" Nian Shi heard that she had been avoiding the important and trivial, and never admitted the events of the day, she was angry in her heart, and she didn't dare to get angry in front of Wu Yashi, so she had to turn around and say: "Huang Eniang, listen to it, Concubine Xi has been talking nonsense in front of you, it can be seen that she doesn't take Huang Eniang in her eyes at all!" ”

Nala, who had been sitting upright in the chair, finally spoke, "Concubine Xi, you said that you didn't force Concubine Jing to commit suicide, so why did she suddenly leave the twenty-third elder brother to commit suicide, and it was still after you went to see her, if you want to talk about coincidence, it is too coincidental, it is really unconvincing." What does the emperor think? ”

Wu Yashi nodded slowly, looked at Ling Ruo and said solemnly: "Let's not talk about Concubine Jing's affairs, just your private entry into the Great Qing Gate is a big mistake that has broken the ancestral family law." Go, go outside and kneel, and don't get up without the permission of the mourning family. ”

"Yes." Wu Yashi spoke, Ling Ruo didn't dare to argue anymore, and was about to kneel outside, when the shrill voice of the eunuch suddenly came from behind him, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Nala and Nian hurriedly got up and saluted Yinzhen who strode in, Yinzhen waved his hand casually, walked in front of Wu Yashi, bowed down and said: "Erchen to the emperor's mother, the emperor's mother is blessed!" ”

"No courtesy." Wu Yashi said with a cold expression, since the last dispute, the relationship between her and Yinzhen has deteriorated, and the so-called family affection between mother and son can almost be ignored.

After Yin Zhen straightened up, his eyes swept over Ling Ruo, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "When Erchen came in, I heard Huang Eniang say that she wanted to punish Concubine Xi to kneel outside, I don't know what Concubine Xi said wrong to make Huang Eniang angry?" ”

"She didn't say it wrong, but she did it wrong." Wu Yashi said coldly: "Concubine Xi, as a concubine, entered from the Great Qing Gate, broke the ancestral family law, and deserves to be punished. Didn't the emperor think that the mourning family had no right to dispose of Concubine Xi? ”

Yin Zhen hurriedly bowed and said, "Erchen doesn't dare." It's just that last night's Daqing Gate was caused by Erchen who let Concubine Xi in, and Concubine Xi had shirked several times, but it was Erchen who insisted on doing so, so the fault in this matter was Erchen, and it had nothing to do with Concubine Xi. ”
