"I hope it's okay." Saying this, his right eyelid was still jumping there, which also cast a shadow on Ling Ruo's heart, especially since Hongli was still in Fuzhou and hadn't come back, "Fourth Elder Brother has any news recently?" ”

"The fourth elder brother only sent a letter a few days ago, how can it be sent so quickly." Shui Xiu understood Ling Ruo's worries, and persuaded him: "Master, don't worry, didn't the fourth elder brother say in the recital, the situation in Fuzhou has basically calmed down, and there will be no danger; And the emperor also said"

Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "Having said that, as long as he is still in Fuzhou for a day, this palace will not be able to truly feel at ease for a day." ”

Shui Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you ask the emperor to summon the fourth elder brother and them back to Beijing earlier!" ”

Ling Ruo nodded, and said, "By the way, how is Shui Yixuan?" ”

As soon as he said this, Shui Xiu couldn't help but purse his lips and laughed, "I heard that that person's hair has fallen out and there is not much left, and every time he combs his hair in a bun, it takes a long time to comb it, and he doesn't dare to go out to meet people." As for the fetal gas, it is getting worse day by day, Imperial Physician Xu has already told the emperor about this matter, and the emperor did not say anything else, only asked Imperial Physician Xu to find a way to keep the dragon fetus. However, the slave maid once met Imperial Doctor Xu and said a few words to him, feeling that he had a headache about this matter. ”

At this time, his eyelids gradually stopped beating, and Ling Ruo got up and said lightly: "The day you lose your dragon fetus is the day when Shu Mulu's hair falls and becomes a nun." ”

Hearing this, An Er suddenly laughed, Ling Ruo glanced at her and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

An'er said with a smile: "Back to the master, the slave maid thinks that Shu Mulu's family is already the same as a nun without losing her hair, with no hair and only a bare head. ”

"You poor girl." Saying this, Ling Ruo himself couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he sighed, looked at his slender white hands and said: "This palace has harmed the children of the Liu clan before, and now it has harmed the children of the Shu Mulu clan, these hands are really sinful, and I don't know if there will be retribution in the future." ”

Shui Xiu said disapprerovingly: "If there is really retribution, the queen will not be able to stay in Kunning Palace until now, and the people she harmed are called more than one!" ”

"Having said that, Hongu always feels very uneasy in his heart." Ling Ruo walked to the door, looked at the pots of autumn chrysanthemums that had just been brought yesterday and said, "No matter how hateful the Liu family and Shu Mulu are, their children are innocent, this palace ......"

"Master, forgive the slave and maid to tell the truth, the head of the palace is a place where people eat people, if you don't harm people, people will harm you. Even if there is really heavenly reason and retribution, God will understand you, and you know that you don't mean to harm others, everything is for self-preservation. ”

"Self-protection ......" Ling Ruo smiled and crossed the threshold and said: "What this palace is doing now is no longer what the word self-protection can cover, but ...... Since it has been done, this palace will not regret it, even if this path is wrong, it will continue to walk, because there is no other way for this palace to go. ”

"It's good that the master can think like this, but the slave and maid are afraid of ......"

"Are you afraid that this palace will be soft-hearted?" Seeing Shui Xiu lowering his head embarrassedly, Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "Niu Hulu Ling Ruo ten years ago may be, but Niu Hulu Ling Ruo ten years later will definitely not." ”

Shui Xiu was still about to say, Ling Ruo had already said: "Autumn is so good, accompany the palace to Xianfu Palace for a walk." ”

"Yes." Shui Xiu helped her all the way to Xianfu Palace, and when she arrived there, Congxiang was asking about the dishes of Guerjia's dinner, Ling Ruo listened for a while, and said strangely: "Why are they all some vegetarian dishes, and some fish, meat, chicken and duck are not seen." ”

Congxiang said with a smile: "Niangniang, you don't know the way, since the fourth elder brother went to Fuzhou, my master has been eating fasting, and he has never touched meat, saying that he wants to accumulate blessings for the fourth elder brother." ”

Ling Ruo was greatly moved when he heard this, and said, "Sister, you are ......."

As soon as she said a few words, Guerjia interrupted: "Okay, there is no need to say that we will meet, in short, as long as you and Hongli are good, I will be happy in my heart. By the way, did the emperor talk about when they will come back. ”

Ling Ruo didn't say anything about the eyelids jumping just now, so as not to worry her, she only said: "I haven't talked about it yet, but the situation in Fuzhou is almost calm, and it shouldn't be too long." ”

Guerjia shook his head and said: "That's good, go back to Beijing early, and you and I should be at ease as soon as possible." By the way, last night, I saw that the laurel trees in the imperial garden were blooming, so it's good to go for a walk with me while there is nothing to do at this time. ”

"My sister has a life, how dare I disobey." In the midst of such laughter, Ling Ruo accompanied the Guerjia clan to stroll to the Imperial Garden, where the osmanthus trees were all blooming as he said, and before he could get closer, he could already smell a strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Guerjia casually folded a branch in his hand, and said when he lowered his head and sniffed lightly: "Now everyone in the palace is talking about Shu Mulu's hair falling out, and it is passed around as a joke, I heard that Ning Guiren also went to Shui Yixuan to see it, but unfortunately the palace people blocked her from entering." ”

Ling Ruo didn't hear this, so he said suddenly: "The Shu Mulu clan is just a concubine now, and he still dares to stand in the way of the Wu clan?" ”

"It's true that she is a concubine, but don't forget the piece of meat in her stomach, with that piece of meat, the Wu family doesn't dare to break in, otherwise something happens, she can't afford it."

"That's what my sister said." Ling Ruo's gaze swept over the osmanthus tree in his eyes at random, and he was about to withdraw his gaze, but he saw a corner of his clothes behind a certain tree, and his eyebrows suddenly frowned.

"But she can't be proud for too long, this time it's ......" Guarjia was just halfway through speaking, when Ling Ruo intercepted her words and said: "What my sister said is exact, even if she gives birth to an elder brother this time, she also has to go to Yong'an Temple to become a monk, and the emperor didn't say that he would take back his life." ”

Guerjia looked at Ling Ruo strangely, not understanding why she suddenly interrupted her words, until Ling Ruo held her hand and quietly wrote the words "There is someone behind the tree" in the palm of her hand. ”

"I wonder what my sister is curious about?" Ling Ruo said as he noticed the corner of his clothes exposed outside the tree without a trace.

Guerjia said with a hint of secrecy in his smile: "Whether this time Shu Mulu is born a boy or a girl, it is all royal blood, it is impossible to go to Yong'an Temple with her, and it is inevitable to stay in the palace, so you say, who will the emperor hand over this child to raise?" ”
