Chapter 1119: Friend or Foe
"Don't you think this palace should help you?" Nala's rhetorical question made Shu Mulu not know how to speak for a while, but Nala's was not ready to ask her to answer, and quickly took it himself, "In fact, in this palace, there are no eternal enemies and friends, and the boundary between friends and foes is only determined whether it is beneficial or harmful to oneself. ”
Her words were surprisingly consistent with what Ling Ruo had said before, and after a pause, she said, "This palace saved you because this palace felt that cooperating with Hui Guiren would have more benefits than harms, I don't know what Hui Guiren thinks?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know what to do." Shu Mulu replied very directly, "The concubine has just been released from the grounding, and many things are still unclear, so she can't answer the mother's always." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you're not confused." Before the words fell, the fishing rod moved, and Shu Mulu said when he saw this: "Niangniang, the fishing rod has moved, I think there is a fish biting the hook." ”
"Don't worry, the fish is just testing now, and it hasn't really bitten yet." The Nala clan looked at the Shu Mulu clan with a smile, "Do you still think that this palace is your enemy?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." When Shu Mulu said this, the fishing rod moved violently, and the thin fishing line was like a floating gold phantom in the sun.
Xiao Ningzi said on the side: "Master, the slave will help you hook the hook." ”
After Nala's nod, Xiao Ningzi took the fishing rod and pulled hard, and a golden-red koi was pulled out of the water, and the fish's tail flung vigorously in mid-air, trying to get rid of the hook in its mouth, but no matter how hard it tried, it was to no avail, it was caught in his hand, and then thrown into a bucket filled with water, and it could only spin in the narrow copper.
Nala clapped his hands, stood up and looked at the koi in the bucket and said, "Do you think this fish is pitiful?" ”
Shu Mulu stepped forward to take a look and shook his head and said: "The concubine thinks that there is nothing to be pitied, there is only a difference between the size in the pool and in the bucket, in the final analysis, it is actually the same, and they are all encircled in it." ”
Nala said: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the Hui noble people have seen things more thoroughly, so you should know that this palace is not your enemy, on the contrary, this palace is the only person who can help you now." In the incident of the Seventh Elder Brother that day, Concubine Xi and Concubine Cheng both stood on the side of the concubine, accusing you of killing the Seventh Elder Brother and wholeheartedly wanting to put you to death; Now that you're reset, they're not going to give up. ”
Shu Mulu knew that what she said was the truth, and she could be presumptuous in front of Cheng Concubine, but Concubine Xi was in a high position and had received holy grace for many years, far from being comparable to Dai Jia's kind of person, it was not easy to deal with her, "What about Niangniang, doesn't Niangniang blame the concubine for her previous willfulness?" ”
Nala smiled slightly: "You also said that you are willful, this palace is right to play with your child's temper, and when you are angry, there is nothing to do, not to mention that there is also a fault in this palace." After today, no one will mention it again, okay? ”
Shu Mulu did not answer, but knelt down and said: "Niangniang is very kind, and the concubine is unforgettable." ”
Nala personally helped her up and said, "There is only one sentence in this palace, and that is to remember clearly, who is your enemy, don't forget." ”
"The concubine knows the way." After Shu Mulu got up, he saw Nala take the fishing rod again, and couldn't help but say, "When did Niangniang start to like fishing?" ”
Nala narrowed his eyes and said: "That is, in the last two years, fishing can not only Tao Ye sentiment, but also enjoy the joy of the fish being hooked, this palace thinks it is very good." However, at your age, sitting for an hour or two may be too boring and boring. ”
Shu Mulu shook his head and said: "When the concubine was young, she used to go fishing with Ama to the river, in fact, the process of waiting for the fish to be hooked was very interesting. ”
Nala smiled deeply, and said with a pun: "Yes, it's really funny." ”
Coming out of Kunning Palace, Ruliu whispered: "Master, you are careful of the queen, the slave maid thinks that her words are not credible, Concubine Xi and concubines are not good people, but the queen is not either." ”
Shu Mulu stopped, turned his head to look at her and smiled, Ruliu was looked at strangely by her, stretched out his hand and wiped a few handfuls on his face, nothing, what is the master looking at?
By the time she asked this doubt, Shu Mulu was already leaning forward and leaning back with laughter, Ruliu had been by her side for so long, and it was the first time she had seen her smile like this, and she said in confusion: "Master, what are you laughing at, did the slave say something wrong?" ”
"No, you're right, I'm happy." After stopping the laughter, Shu Mulu took Ruliu's hand and sighed: "The Ruliu I know is finally back." ”
Hearing this, Ruliu couldn't help laughing, and then said a little embarrassedly: "The slave and maid disappointed the master before." ”
"There's nothing to be disappointed about, you're still alive, thank God for me, I'm afraid that Concubine Cheng will kill you viciously, so I'll be the only one left." After sighing with emotion, Shu Mulu changed the topic and said: "What I said just now also made me understand the queen's thoughts, she helped me because she wanted to get rid of Concubine Xi and Liu with my hand, as long as the two of them died, the harem would completely fall under her control, even if it was drafted in the future, if the new show girl wanted to reach the height of Concubine Xi, at least in a short period of time, it would be impossible, so that her position would be unbreakable." ”
Ruliu Shen nodded thoughtfully, "Although the slaves and maids are in the pure army during this time, I occasionally hear them talk about things in the palace. At present, the queen is almost nothing except for a name, the power of the harem is sideways, and the second elder brother is not liked by the emperor, and he is controlled by Concubine Xi everywhere. ”
Shu Mulu walked slowly and said: "She knows that she is old and decrepit, and she can't give birth to an heir, and she can't fight against Concubine Xi alone, so she asks the emperor to restore my position and borrow my hand to deal with Concubine Xi and them." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ruliu hurriedly said: "That master must not take advantage of her wishes." ”
However, Shu Mulu said: "Why not? The queen is right to say that the line between friend and foe is only good or bad for herself. Anyway, at the moment, Concubine Xi and the three of them are the common enemies of me and the queen, and there is nothing wrong with joining forces to deal with them. ”
Ruliu nodded, and said again: "The slave is only afraid that once there is no enemy, the queen will turn the spear to deal with the master, you just said, she wants to control the entire harem, but the master is absolutely impossible to be her puppet." ”
Shu Mulu sneered and said, "She can deal with me, can't I deal with her?" In fact, the one who can really deal with the queen is not Concubine Xi, nor the concubine, but the emperor, they have the emperor's favor, so they can not take the queen in their eyes, and this is precisely the most advantageous point for me. ”
