What is she doing here at night?

Ling Ruo raised his eyebrows lightly, and bowed with this question: "The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother is auspicious, I don't know what the mother came to come at night?" ”

Nala stopped and looked at her with a smile and said, "Can't you come to sit here with Concubine Xi if you have nothing to do?" ”

Ling Ruo's lips curled, and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "How dare the concubine, it's just that the concubine came suddenly, and the concubine was not prepared, for fear of neglecting the concubine." ”

"We sisters don't need to see each other like this." Nala smiled slightly, his expression was as gentle as the soft moonlight scattered on his body, but Ling Ruo knew that hidden under this gentleness was a lot of scheming, as well as ruthless and treacherous methods that many men could not match.

Nala was not in a hurry to enter, but stood in the atrium and smiled: "The palace also happened to see that the moonlight tonight was very good, comparable to the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, so I temporarily got up and thought of finding my sister to enjoy the moon together. ”

Ling Ruo smiled and said nothing, she would never believe Nala Clan's statement, but she couldn't guess her intention for a while.

"Sister, what do you say, ......" Nala suddenly turned his voice in Yanran's smile, "Is the moon in Tongzhou as round as here?" ”

"It's all the same." Ling Ruo stared at the Dian jade carved into the shape of a swallow on the upper of his shoe, and at some point, the swallow's wings were actually broken.

Nala sat down on the rosewood chair brought by Shui Xiu, stroked his skirt and said indifferently: "What this palace heard is not, I heard that the weather in Tongzhou is still bad, there are violent winds and rains from time to time, cold as severe winter, and the air is shrouded in dust and fog, and you can't see the blue sky and white sun at all, let alone the bright moonlight." ”

"If the mother has something to say, you might as well say it directly." Ling Ruo glanced at her coldly, his heart full of disgust; If she hadn't lured Yilan to tell her relationship with Rong Yuan, why would Yin Zhen be so suspicious of herself.

Nala said in distress: "What can this palace say, it's just that I'm worried about Imperial Doctor Xu." Alas, I think he is a weak scholar, but he goes to that bitter cold and harsh place, and there is a plague raging, and I don't know if he can survive it. Having said that, this palace heard that the reason why Imperial Physician Xu entered the palace as a imperial physician is because of his sister, this affectionate kindness is really admirable, and even this palace is very envious. ”

"Although the concubine and Imperial Physician Xu have known each other since childhood, there is no such thing as transgressing the etiquette system, and he is not a concubine because he is the imperial physician; But the mother really did everything for this matter, and even the sister of the concubine used it. She sneered, her expression like autumn frost and snow.

Nala said nonchalantly: "If it's really fine, why should you be afraid of being used, always ......" The head of the mantis was raised lightly, and the pearl jade that drooped down her cheeks flashed with a wet brilliance, "My sister is wrong." ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, and said with forgiveness: "Look at this person in this palace, he came here to admire the moon with his sister, and what to do with these things for no reason, it's really disappointing." ”

Ling Ruo looked at her coldly, how could she believe that the Nala clan came to admire the moon, and there must be a purpose for saying such a bunch of words in circles.

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, the wind was a little strong, blowing the clothes and sideburns on the two of them, Nala raised his sleeves to cover the night wind, and he didn't want to hold the silk in his hand was blown away by the wind, and the jade was about to be picked up, and Nala had already said loudly: "Let it go, it's just a piece of silk left and right." ”

After the night breeze passed, Nala suddenly said: "By the way, there is one thing that my sister doesn't know yet, right?" She narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned forward and said: "The victims of the Tongzhou disaster have not been relieved of the plague for a long time, and they began to gather to make trouble. ”

When she said these words, her eyes kept falling on Ling Ruo, seeing her expression change slightly, a wisp of smile suddenly climbed the corner of her mouth, and her gentle face looked a little unreal under the moonlight, as if covered with a light veil, "Sister, do you want to know how the Emperor Dao dealt with this matter after learning about it?" It's like throwing a ball out of her mind, waiting for someone to pick it up, and what awaits this person is likely to be a trap.

"What to do?" Ling Ruo knew very well, but it was a matter of Rong Yuan's life and death, and she couldn't ignore it, even if she knew the trap, she had to jump down.

Nala was very satisfied with Ling Ruo's attitude, and said softly: "The people of Tongzhou are in trouble, and Imperial Doctor Xu and others can't cure the plague, once those victims run out uncontrollably, the plague will spread from Tongzhou as the source, and the consequences will be unimaginable." For the sake of the overall situation, the emperor decided to abandon the entire Tongzhou Mansion, that is to say...... Everyone in Tongzhou Mansion is going to die!"

The night of early spring was still a little cold, but Ling Ruo broke out in a cold sweat, Yinzhen wanted to give up the entire Tongzhou Mansion, that is to say, both the victims and the imperial doctors who went to treat them over there would die, including Rong Yuan.

Nala got up, leaned into Ling Ruo's ear, and said word by word in a warm breath: "In the past, Imperial Physician Xu entered the palace for his sister, and today he died tragically for his sister, and this life is all ruined at the hands of his sister, which is really pitiful and lamentable. ”

Ling Ruo stood there expressionlessly, only the clenched hands in her sleeves revealed the uneasiness in her heart, in a cold silence, she raised her head and greeted the Nala clan who was close at hand, "There are hundreds of surviving people in Tongzhou, all of them are the people of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor is benevolent, how can he abandon them." ”

"You think Hongu is lying to you?" Nala took a step back and said indifferently: "At this moment, the emperor has summoned all officials into the palace, and there should be a decree issued tonight, if my sister doesn't believe it, you can wait and see." Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and said, "In other words, even if the emperor pities the people of Tongzhou, what about Imperial Doctor Xu?" Sister, don't you think that after the emperor knows about the matter between you and Imperial Doctor Xu, you can still act as if nothing has happened?!"

Without waiting for Ling Ruo to speak, she stretched out her sleeves and said, "Okay, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace, and my sister should rest early." ”

Nala took Jade's hand and turned away, the sound of flowerpot shoes stepping on the bluestone floor was clear in the quiet night, and the bright moon sprinkled a clear light behind her......

"Master......" Until the Nala clan disappeared, Shui Xiufang called Ling Ruo, who had not said a word since he was in Shicai, with some concern.

In the long wind, Ling Ruo slowly exhaled the turbid breath held in his chest, looked at the direction of Nala's departure, and said in a condensed voice: "Empress, it is indeed the Empress." ”

Shui Xiu didn't understand why she suddenly said such a sentence, but said with relief: "Master, don't listen to the queen's sensational words, maybe Imperial Doctor Xu has now solved the epidemic in Tongzhou and is on his way back." ”

Ling Ruo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid that this matter is very true." Having said that, there was still a bit of luck in her heart, she called Yang Hai and ordered him to hurry up to the south study to inquire and see if any officials had entered the palace overnight.
