Yin Zhen waited for a long time, but never saw Shu Mulu's answer, and said: "I know that it is very difficult for you to do this, but this is the only way to have the best of both worlds, and I hope you can agree." ”

"The concubine knows the way." Shu Mulu spit out these four words with difficulty, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Does the emperor really want his concubines to do this?" ”

"Yes." Yin Zhen held her cold hand and said gently: "As long as you are willing to understand the general situation, agree to my request, and don't make a big deal about this matter, I will treat you well in the future, even if you can no longer have children, I will never treat you badly, I can promise you!" ”

Shu Mulu said with a sad expression: "But what the concubine has lost is a child who has been formed and the qualification to be a mother in the future, the emperor said this, don't you think it's cruel to the concubine?" ”

Yin Zhen sighed heavily, held Shu Mulu's hand and said, "I know the way, but if you are willing to agree, I will remember your good in the future and will never treat you badly; I know that you've always wanted to stay by my side, isn't it just right now? After taking a deep look at Shu Mulu, he said again: "You are a smart person, you should know what kind of choice is best for you." ”

Shu Mulu is a smart person, so she understands that when it comes to this, she has only one choice, which is to do what Yinzhen wants, otherwise even if she really makes Niu Hulu's family suffer a little, she herself will have no place in the harem, and she will completely offend Yinzhen, which is really worth the loss.

Where there is life, there is hope. As long as she can continue to stay in the palace, she will definitely have the opportunity to let the Niu Hulu clan die without a place to be buried, in order to repay today's hatred.

Thinking of this, she pulled the corners of her mouth and said with difficulty: "Yes, the concubine understands that the concubine is the emperor's concubine, so she must not embarrass the emperor. Speaking of this, her eyes were already full of tears, and her voice trembled, "And in the future, I will be respectful to the imperial concubine, and I will definitely not dare to have a trace of jealousy." ”

Her words made Yin Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the Shu Mulu clan would be desperate to make trouble, and although he could save Ling Ruo at all costs, he would always let her be hurt; At this moment, Ling Ruo was already sad to death, how could she bear to make her hurt and hurt.

However, Shu Mulu's title also reminded Yinzhen that the imperial concubine ...... He was bent on making Ling Ruo the imperial concubine and making up for her pain of losing Hongli, but now that Ling Ruo had known about Hongli, he would definitely not have the heart to accept the canonization anymore, plus the matter of Shu Mulu's miscarriage. Canonization, apparently has become anachronistic.

Just when Yinzhen was silent, Shu Mulu's mind was also flying like a wheel, she naturally did not mention the word "imperial concubine" for no reason just now, but deliberately reminded Yinzhen that the canonization of the imperial concubine is out of place in this case, and if it is forcibly canonized, it will inevitably be criticized by many people.

"Concubine Xi......" Yinzhen hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "The matter of canonizing the imperial concubine is over, don't mention it again in the future." During this time, you are so good at giving birth to your body, and when you are out of the little moon, I will make you a concubine. ”

"Yes, the concubines will listen to the emperor and recuperate." Shu Mulu responded obediently, and after comforting her a few more words, Yinzhen left Shui Yixuan.

After Ruliu came in, Shu Mulu closed his eyes and said a little tiredly: "Ruliu, tell those people below later, I have a miscarriage, don't pull it on Concubine Xi again, if you talk about it, just say that I accidentally hit it and moved the fetus." ”

"Master, you ......" Ruliu's eyes widened in surprise, if it weren't for Shu Mulu's normal expression, she would almost think that the master was crazy, but she was also a clever person, and quickly thought about the key point, "Master, what did the emperor say to you?" ”

Shu Mulu looked at the silver ball on the top of the tent, and said astringently: "The emperor said that he would let me continue to stay in the palace and make me a concubine, but the premise is that I must change my words, so that Concubine Xi can retreat from this matter." Ruliu, I really can't imagine that it was not a child or someone else who let me get rid of the fate of becoming a monk and stay in the palace after the most deplorable, but the person I hated the most. ”

Although Ruliu didn't hear Yinzhen's words with his own ears, he also guessed seven or eight points through Shu Mulu's words, and there was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes, "I didn't expect the emperor to defend Concubine Xi so much, and he didn't even have the principles he should have." After a pause, she said again: "Listen to the master's words, is it a promise to the emperor?" ”

Shu Mulu smiled bitterly: "Can I not agree?" ”

Her question made Ruliu speechless, and she said for a long time: "This is really too wronged by the master." ”

Shu Mulu stroked the empty lower abdomen, and said coldly: "I was not wronged on the first day, I can bear it, not to mention that I believe that as long as I can continue to stay in the palace, there will be a way to deal with Niu Hulu; And this time it's not really no good news at all, at least the emperor has decided not to canonize her as the imperial concubine. ”

Ruliu's eyes fell on the abdomen that Shu Mulu had been caressing gently, and said with unspeakable pain: "Even so, it can't offset the grievances and injuries suffered by the master. ”

Shu Mulu looked back at the tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "I know the truth, so I swear, I must let Niu Hulu Lingruo get the retribution she deserves, and let her die without a place to be buried, otherwise I Shu Mulu Jiahui swears that I will not be a person!" ”

Yin Zhen thought that he could appease Shu Mulu with the high position of the lord of the first palace, but he didn't know that the latter wanted more than 25 more than he thought, and it was not something that a concubine could satisfy.

Since Ling Ruo returned to Chengqian Palace, he has been sitting there without eating, drinking, or moving, not talking or crying, just sitting in a daze, no matter what Shui Xiu and they say, they don't say a word, unlike before on the way back to Chengqian Palace, they will have some reactions to Sixi.

Seeing Ling Ruo's reaction, coupled with Sixi's acquiescence, Shui Xiu and the others understood that the fourth elder brother was really gone, otherwise the master would not be sad to be like this.

Just when Shui Xiu was at a loss, Sanfu pulled her sleeve and said: "Hurry up and go to Xianfu Palace to invite the concubine Niangniang, at this time, only the concubine can persuade the master to say a few words." ”

"I hope the master can really listen to it, instead of continuing to torture himself like this." In a helpless sigh, Shui Xiu walked away quickly, and after less than half an hour, he saw the Guerjia clan hurriedly walk in, and only stopped when he walked in front of Ling Ruo, and before he could speak, tears slipped down his red eyes.

She was watering the flowers at the time, and she heard Shui Xiu begging to see her, but she said that Ling Ruo had nothing to do, so she let herself sit down, how could she never have imagined that she would hear such news, Hongli was actually dead? Died in Fuzhou? How could this happen.
