Chapter 1234: The Point of No Return
Su Peisheng said with a smile: "What does the lady say about this for no reason, the lady has always treated the slave well, and the slave should naturally not be ungrateful." ”
"It would be nice if everyone was as affectionate and righteous as Grandpa Su." Shu Mulu's slightly complaining words made Su Peisheng feel that she meant something else, and hesitated for a moment and said, "What happened to the lady?" ”
"Alas, don't hide it from Father-in-law Su, today's Ruliu went out of the palace to see her mother was told by Shui Xiu Zhilu beside Concubine Xi, and reprimanded Father-in-law Bai in the respectful room, and ordered that Ruliu should not be allowed to leave the palace again in the future. Father-in-law Su, do you think she deceives people too much? ”
Su Peisheng said in surprise: "There is such a thing? ”
Ruliu said in a low voice: "It's true, as soon as the slave and maid came back, Father-in-law Bai called the slave and maid to talk about it. ”
Without waiting for Su Peisheng to speak again, Shu Mulu had already said: "Father-in-law Su, you also know that Ruliu's mother has always been in poor health, and she is a filial daughter, and now she is suddenly not allowed to go home to visit her mother, it is tantamount to asking for her life, although I have the heart to help her, I have no choice but to help myself, so I can only ask Father-in-law Su to see what can be done." ”
Su Peisheng said with a look of embarrassment: "This ...... If it is really the will of Concubine Xi, the slave can't help it, always, the slave is just a slave. ”
Shu Mulu sat up straight and said: "I naturally know this way, but at the moment it is just the words of Shui Xiu, not the will of Concubine Xi, I think as long as Gonggong Su is willing to come forward, there must be room for things to turn around, Gonggong Su, do you say yes?" ”
Su Peisheng rubbed his hands and said, "Having said that, if it reaches the ears of Concubine Xi, the slave will be very troublesome." ”
Hearing this, Ruliu hurriedly squeezed out a few tears and knelt down and said: "Father-in-law Su, I know that you are a good person, please help me, I am willing to make you a cow and a horse, serve tea and pour water." ”
Su Peisheng was taken aback by her move, and hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, you get up first." ”
Ruliu cried and said: "If Gonggong Su refuses to agree, I can only kneel and die here, and I won't be able to see my mother anymore." ”
Just when Su Peisheng didn't know what to do, Shu Mulu took the opportunity to say: "Father-in-law Su, please remember the filial piety of Ruliu and help her once." As for Concubine Xi's side, as long as we don't talk to Grandpa Bai, how will she know. ”
Seeing that Su Peisheng still didn't speak, she lifted the brocade quilt covering her body and said: "I am the same sister as Ruliu, I really don't want to see her wash her face with tears in the future, if Father-in-law Su refuses to agree, then I can only kneel down together." “
This sentence really frightened Su Peisheng, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Lady must not, slave...... The minion promised. ”
Ruliu hurriedly raised his head and said expectantly: "Grandpa Su, are you really willing to help?" ”
"The ladies are ready to kneel, can I not agree?" Su Peisheng smiled bitterly: "But the slave can only do his best, Bai Guiken is willing to sell the face of the slave, it is still unknown." ”
Ruliu took over and said: "Father-in-law Su is a celebrity around the emperor, and with you on the horse, forgive that Bai Gui for not daring not to listen." ”
"No matter what the result is, I want Father-in-law Xie Su to help." Saying this, Shu Mulu took off the twisted gold bracelet from his wrist and said, "This little thing is a little bit of my heart, and I ask my father-in-law to accept it." ”
Su Peisheng hurriedly excused himself and said, "How dare the slave accept the lady's things." ”
"I know that my father-in-law is a noble person, and he likes calligraphy and painting, not gold and silver, but I still ask my father-in-law to accept it reluctantly, otherwise I will be uneasy."
Su Peisheng's excuse was just pretending, he loved gold and silver more than anyone else, otherwise he would not have been bought by Shu Mulu's family, so after Shu Mulu's said this, he said: "Since the lady said this, the slave will be ashamed." If Liu's words, the minion will go to Bai Gui later, and he will definitely try his best to convince him. ”
"Thank you, thank you, father-in-law." In Ruliu Qian's thanks, Su Peisheng left Shui Yixuan, he didn't know what to say, this time the promise had completely pushed him to the point of no return, and there was no possibility of turning back.
On the other side, after being polite with Zhao Fang for a while, Ling Ruo gradually turned to the topic, "This palace remembers that when the first emperor was still there, his father-in-law was already the head of the imperial pharmacy, right?" ”
Zhao Fang slanted and said: "Yes, the slave entered the palace since he was a child, was pitied by Emperor Xian, and worked as an errand in the imperial pharmacy, which is more than forty spring and autumn." ”
Ling Ruowei nodded and said: "Being able to stabilize for more than forty spring and autumn periods, and also sitting in the position of the head of the imperial dining room, is really admirable to the palace." ”
"The mother has won the prize." Although he said this, Zhao Fang could still see a trace of smugness on his face.
Ling Ruo looked at it in his eyes, and changed his words and said, "But this palace has also heard that those people under my father-in-law now seem to be a little disobedient. ”
Zhao Fang's old face froze, and his expression became unnatural, and after a while, Fang smiled dryly: "Where did Niangniang hear these nonsense? ”
Ling Ruo plucked the foam on the tea soup and said: "Is it nonsense, my father-in-law knows better than this palace, if my father-in-law really thinks that there is no problem, then it will be a lot of trouble in this palace, and my father-in-law can invite it back, I just hope that my father-in-law will not regret it in the future." ”
Although Zhao Fang was old, his heart was still there, and as soon as he heard this, he knew that Lu Dao Ling Ruo was hiding words in his words, but he couldn't guess what her purpose was for suddenly saying this. I wanted to listen more, but Ling Ruo only cared about drinking tea, and refused to say a word, so she had no choice but to say: "Niangniang might as well make it clear if she has something to say." ”
Ling Ruo smiled slightly, put down the teacup and said: "My father-in-law has been in the palace for so many years, I should be very clear about the truth that 'the higher the position, the more dangerous it is', my father-in-law has been in charge of the imperial pharmacy for many years, and he has blocked the way of many people in the way. made those who had been suppressed for a long time begin to make waves, and they all want to replace their father-in-law, so that their father-in-law is tired of coping, I don't know if the palace is wrong? ”
Zhao Fang was already sweating profusely when he heard this, and tried to pull his mouth, but he only pulled out a smile that was more uncomfortable than crying, "Forgive the slave for being stupid and don't understand the intention of Niangniang to say this." ”
In comparison, Ling Ruo's smile was much more perfect, "The intention of this palace is very simple, that is, I want to show my father-in-law a clear way, but if my father-in-law doesn't appreciate it, then this palace will not be reluctant." Stretching out his hand, he said: "The gate is there, my father-in-law can leave at any time, and the palace will never stop it!" ”
