Chapter 440: Unexpected

Zhang Ruolan asked Zhou Qingwu for what she meant, and when she held a funeral for Concubine Ruo, everyone in the palace was whispering about the cause of Concubine Ruo's death, and they all said that she died because of her father's guilt.

When he returned to the palace in the evening, it didn't take long for Zhou Qingwu to come to the Qinyang Palace.

Zhou Qingwu's face was calm, I don't know if it was because of Concubine Ruo's death or something else, Zhang Ruolan had been in the palace for so long, and she was a little apprehensive for the first time.

Zhou Qingwu looked at Zhang Ruolan's appearance, and a pair of deep eyes actually made her dodge for a moment.

"Your Majesty has dinner?" Zhang Ruolan looked at Zhou Qingwu and said.

Zhou Qingwu nodded, glanced at the ring on Zhang Ruolan's hand, and said to her: "Concubine Ai's ring, it will be very good when the time comes." ”

Zhang Ruolan glanced down at the jade ring on her hand, and said to Zhou Qingwu with a smile: "Your Majesty forgot?" This was given to his concubines by His Majesty not long ago. ”

Zhou Qingwu turned around and walked towards the hall and said to Zhang Ruolan: "Concubine Ai has a heart." ”

Before Concubine Ruo died, she had told herself a lot about Zhang Ruolan and Situ Qing in the study.

When he really didn't believe it, he just didn't expect that that night, Concubine Ruo chose to commit suicide.

According to the rules, the concubine committed suicide in the harem, and she wanted to punish the nine clans, but her father was dead, and she had been in love with herself for many years, so Zhou Qingwu used an excuse to say that Concubine Ruo had a sudden illness.

It's just that he began to believe in Concubine Ruo's words.

Concubine Ruo is just dying to make her will, even if Zhou Qingwu no longer believes it, after Concubine Ruo's death, he finally has a little more doubt in his heart.

At this moment, seeing that Zhang Ruolan was two points more restrained than at the same time, her brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Your Majesty, have a cup of tea!" Zhang Ruolan personally brought a cup of tea to Zhou Qingwu, Zhou Qingwu took a sip and never spoke again.

Zhou Qingwu didn't speak, Zhang Ruolan didn't speak, the two of them sat like this for a long time, Zhou Qingwu stood up and said to her, "I'm gone." ”

When Zhang Ruolan heard this, she immediately saluted and said, "The concubine respectfully sends your majesty." ”

Zhou Qingwu glanced at Zhang Ruolan, and his eyes were very meaningful.

Zhang Ruolan trembled in her heart, and always felt that Zhou Qingwu came today for something else.

After Zhou Qingwu left, Zhang Ruolan's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and she never stretched again.

"Niangniang, if the concubine is gone, in the future, no one in this palace will stand in the way of Niangniang." Huanyu took a cup of tea, looked at Zhang Ruolan and said a word.

Zhang Ruolan took the tea but shook her head, "No, didn't you see Your Majesty's face just now?" ”

obviously has dissatisfaction with himself, but where this dissatisfaction comes from, probably only Zhou Qingwu knows.

"Maybe Your Majesty is in a bad mood because of Concubine Ruo's death?" Huanyu looked at Zhang Ruolan and said, "Is Niangniang a little too careful?" ”

Zhang Ruolan didn't answer, before Concubine Ruo died, she suddenly sent those things that should have been handles, this is definitely not her kindness, I think there are other plans.

What she said to Zhou Qingwu in the Shang study room can be imagined, Concubine Ruo must have told Zhou Qingwu about Situ Qing.

It's just why didn't she bring the evidence out? Is there something more powerful waiting for you?

When Concubine Ruo came to Qinyang Palace, she said that she wanted to help find a way to make Xia Chuli fall out of favor, and this request also came inexplicably.

At that time, if Concubine Ruo had already made up her mind, how could she be willing to die?

This is not like Concubine Ruo's temperament, the more Zhang Ruolan thinks about it, the more she feels that it is wrong.

In the dead of night, Zhang Ruolan took out the box containing the letters, and after reading the letters, she suddenly found that one of them was a letter that Situ Qing had not had time to give herself.

It was sandwiched in the letters she wrote to Situ Qing, Zhang Ruolan was a little pleased, and after reading it word by word, she couldn't help but wet her eyes.

At that time, Situ Qing was still thinking about her, but unfortunately, he couldn't be with her in the end.

Zhang Ruolan put the letter on her chest, as if she wanted to feel Situ Qing's existence again.

After I don't know how long, Zhang Ruolan wiped the tears from her eyes, destroyed all the letters in the box, and put the ring under the pillow, and made up her mind.

The next day, just after dawn, Zhang Ruolan had already opened her eyes and called Huanyu to dress herself.

"Niangniang, this ring is old, let's change it!" Huanyu watched Zhang Ruolan take out an old agate ring from the box, and couldn't help but say something with some doubts.

Zhang Ruolan shook her head and said to Huanyu: "You go find a box and put it up." ”

Huanyu responded and did what Zhang Ruolan wanted.

After breakfast, estimating the time of Zhou Qingwu's early dynasty, Zhang Ruolan took the box and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and prepare to go to the Shang study.

Huanyu followed aside, feeling that since Concubine Ruo came to Qinyang Palace, her own mother had also become a little wrong.

"Niangniang, why did you take this ring to see Your Majesty?" Huanyu asked puzzledly, "Is there anything wrong with this ring?" ”

Zhang Ruolan glanced at Huanyu and said slowly to Huanyu: "This ring was sent by Mingyu at that time. ”

Huanyu couldn't help but be even more puzzled when she heard this, "Mingyu sent it?" When did Mingyu send the ring? "Why doesn't she know?

Zhang Ruolan smiled and said, "That day, Mingyu came with a box, and this ring was in the box. ”

Huanyu answered, and before she came out, Zhang Ruolan had already told herself that those letters had been destroyed, so she didn't ask more.

She had forgotten the ring.

When she arrived at the Shang study, Zhang Ruolan took the small box containing the ring, and then waited for Zhou Qingwu's summons outside the hall of the Shang study.

She was a little apprehensive in her heart, but fortunately, Zhou Qingwu was still willing to see her, and no one stopped her from going back, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Qingwu originally wanted to deal with the excerpts presented below, but he didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Ruolan came.

This was unexpected, and he just wanted to hear what Zhang Ruolan had to say to himself when he came this time.

After all, in this harem, now she is the only concubine, and he does like Zhang Ruolan so much, and even thought that even if he punished Zhang Quan, the protector of the country, he would save her life and leave her with glory.

It's just that when Concubine Ruo's words took root in his heart, this thought was not as strong as before.

If Zhang Ruolan is really like what Concubine Ruo said, then not to mention the glory at the moment, it is impossible to leave Zhang Ruolan with her life.

Zhang Ruolan, the Lan concubine, can only completely disappear in the country of Li along with the protector.
