After sending the imperial doctor away, Ling Ruo took the medicine he left behind, picked up the ointment with a silver rod and applied it evenly and gently to Hongli's injured area, without saying anything during the process. On the contrary, Hongli looked a little uneasy, peeking at Ling Ruo from time to time, and stopped talking.

"Say whatever you want." Ling Ruoyan didn't raise his eyes.

Seeing that she was caught by her little movements, Hongli jumped slightly, and whispered: "Eniang, today's thing...... Don't you blame the sons? ”

"Did your Emperor Ama blame you?" After all the injuries on Hongli's body were applied, the ointment also went to a small bottle, and a faint medicinal fragrance permeated the palace.

Hongli shook his head and said, "No." "Today, although Yinzhen punished him and Hongday, but he was only grounded for five days and added an article, which really can't be said to be a punishment, and judging by the tone of his speech at the time, he was not too angry.

"That's it, since you don't blame Huang Ama, then why should Eniang blame you?" Ling Ruo smiled slightly, and said gently: "In the upper study, Eniang and your Emperor Ama both heard the cause and effect of the incident. The whole thing started because of Fu Pei's arrogance, and you just protected Hongyang, what is wrong. Besides, as an elder brother, it is a matter of course to protect your younger brother, if you watch Hongyang being beaten, E-Niang will blame you! ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Eniang." Hongli finally let go of the uneasiness in his heart, and when he saw that Eniang didn't speak, he thought he was angry with him.

"Okay, lie down and sleep for a while, since your emperor Ama has punished you for thinking for five days, then you don't have to go to the study for these days, so that you can recuperate and recuperate, and remember to write that article." Ling Ruo admonished.

"Hmm." Hongli agreed, lay down according to his words, Ling Ruo tucked the horns for him, and saw that he was still open and refused to close his eyes, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Hongli hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "E-niang, you said that the third brother was taken to Kunning Palace, and without E-niang by his side, would he be fine?" ”

"What, sympathize with him? Don't forget that you were beaten by them just now, and people said that the scar forgot the pain, but your scar is not healed! Ling Ruo pointed to the red seal on Hongli's forehead.

"Erchen knows the way, but he is the third brother of Erchen after all, and Erchen has his mother to take care of him, but he doesn't." Hongli is a kind-hearted child, even if Fupei troubles him several times, he still cares about brotherhood.

Ling Ruo soothed: "Don't worry, the queen mother will take good care of the third elder brother, if there is nothing to do, a month will pass soon." And the young concubine and the third elder brother made a mistake, so it is also appropriate to let them learn some lessons, go to sleep. ”

The queen and the young concubine seemed to be fine, but she knew very well that it was just a calm on the surface, and there was already a dark tide underneath. The young concubine covets the throne and the crown prince, and the queen will never hand over these two things; This point has been determined since seventeen years ago, when she tried to take Hiroshi under her knees to raise her.

At the beginning, the position of a prince has already made the women of the palace fight for life and death, and their heads will be broken, not to mention that they will become the emperor's prince in the future.

Now, Fu Pei is raised in her palace, and in order to avoid suspicion, she naturally will not blatantly attack, but if she wants a person's life, she does not need too direct means. For example, the heart-devouring poison used by the queen to deal with the Guerjia clan back then was colorless and tasteless, and it was slowly attacked, and there was no way to find out.

In the harem, everyone lives for themselves, for their lives, for power and grace, they walk all the way on the white road, their hands are stained with blood, and there will never be a day when they are cleaned.

Such a dark and cruel reality, Ling Ruo didn't want Hongli to come into contact too early, he was still too young at the age of eleven. Even if it is inevitable in the future, mothers always want to protect their children more until they really have the ability to face all the wind and rain.

Let's say that after Fu Pei went to Kunning Palace, Nian's whole person was restless, walking back and forth in the hall, stepping on the gold bricks with flower pot bottom shoes, making a "click" sound. She has tried her best to suppress the queen over the years, and the queen has long hated her, originally she didn't care, but now Fupei is in the hands of the queen, in case the queen is not good for Fupei......

"Master, don't be like this, the third elder brother will be fine, and it's past noon, and you haven't touched a bite of lunch." Lu Yi and Yingchun persuaded on the side, and after Nian's was named a concubine, several of them who were often waiting by their side also followed into the palace. As for a few small servants, Nian's Kai was gracious, and he didn't order them to enter the palace, and they still stayed in the hidden mansion.

"Where can I eat in this palace?" The delicate makeup powder on his face couldn't hide Nian's worries, "Luyi, you go and see how Fupei is doing in Kunning Palace, has the queen treated him badly, he fought with Hongshi before, and the palace sees that he has several scars on his body, so he has to quickly call the imperial doctor to take a look at him." Also, if something is missing, send it to him immediately. Without waiting for Lu Yi to speak, she said again: "Also, it's been cold recently, so send more clothes over." ”

Lu Yi knew that if he didn't go, the master would never be able to let go of his heart, so he said: "Yes, the slave and maid will go over, master, you sit down and rest for a while, watch your body." ”

"Go." Where could Nian's listen, just kept urging Luyi, and after Luyi took Fupei's clothes and left, she kept standing at the door and waiting, Ren Yingchun persuaded countless times and refused to go inside.

Finally, seeing the figure of Lu Yi appearing in sight, Nian hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it, have you seen Fupei?" Is he good? "In fact, it was only half a day apart from Fu Pei, but in Nian's opinion, it was like a long year.

Lu Yi's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and smiled: "Don't worry, master, the slave maid has seen the third elder brother, he is very good, the queen mother let him live in the place where the second elder brother lived before, and there are special palace people to wait, and he is not badly treated." ”

"Really?" Nian Shi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and was about to say something else, when he suddenly found that Lu Yi always avoided his eyes when he spoke, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Lu Yi, have you really seen Fu Pei?" ”

Lu Yi's body trembled slightly, and his smile looked a little reluctant, "How dare the slave and maid deceive the master, it is naturally true." As soon as she finished speaking, Nian Shi had already followed up and chased: "Then you can tell me what the second elder brother's room is like, and what is in it?" ”

"Slaves should be damned!" Lu Yi hurriedly knelt down and said gloomily: "The slave maid went to Kunning Palace, and the jade aunt there took the clothes brought by the slave and maid, and then sent the slave and maid back. The slave said that she asked to see the queen mother and the third elder brother, she said that the queen mother had a headache and couldn't see anyone, and the third elder brother had already fallen asleep. The slave and maid really couldn't do it, and they were afraid that the master would be worried, so they dared to deceive the master and ask the master for forgiveness. ”
