Chapter 141: The Heart of Zen
The little eunuch received fifty boards and was driven out of the palace, and finally saved his life, and a few people who lived with him who concealed it and did not report it were also fined silver and thrown into the miscellaneous room.
Ruoyun was a little relieved when she heard the news, neither did she say anything bad, nor did she hurt people's lives, I was afraid that Rong Yixuan had promised the eunuch any money, and the eunuch would recruit her, and as for Gonggong Xu, she didn't sympathize.
Although many people wonder why they don't catch it early since it is a cat stealing food, which cat has great powers and can avoid people every time? But with the support of the prince, no one dares to object to this, and there is indeed no shortage of food in the harem, and there are many fewer people in the palace who have diarrhea, and occasionally it is caused by the heat.
For a while, everyone in Chaolu Palace praised the virtuous concubine Niangniang, but Mo Zhaoyi only responded lightly when she heard it, so she didn't say anything. It's just that Chaolu Palace suddenly called for a lot of sweets to eat, saying that it was a hot summer, and the sweet soup was easy to eat even if it was chilled instead of a meal.
Seeing that things had calmed down, she dispelled her previous suspicions that something else had entered the imperial dining room. Bai Cheng didn't mention the strange bird again, but hid in her Chaolu Palace to eat and drink.
Although she was not afraid of people discovering him, it was better to have more than one thing, and she did not make a noise.
Ruoyun held her cheeks with one hand and fanned the wind with the other, looking at Yu Baicheng, who had gobbled up, washed and turned back into white and tender, smiled helplessly.
Xiaohong looked at the sky and sighed and muttered: "For such a little boy, how much more do we have to 'eat' in the Lu Palace?" I don't know how to think that other mothers are busy keeping in shape. Our mothers are blessed. ”
Bai Cheng wiped his mouth after eating, but he was still afraid that Bai Ze would punish him, and shouted that he was not allowed to tell his eldest brother. borrowed Ruoyun's bed and fell asleep.
Xiaohong complained while fanning him, and she was drowsy for a while.
Ruoyun leaned on the couch outside and took a nap, and there was a palace maid with a broken mouth chatting in the shade of the tree outside the door, saying that Hu Shuer lost her temper and smashed the fetal medicine bowl, and also punished the palace maid to kneel on the ground, and a few people directly threw away the clothes bureau.
Ruoyun sneered, and raised her voice in Chaolu Palace, don't worry about the affairs of other palaces.
The palace maid suddenly lost her words. Seeing that she didn't mean to punish them, she hurriedly retreated.
The more Ruoyun lay down, the hotter she felt, so she simply got up and walked around a few times. Looking inward through the crack in the door, the ice basins around the inner room were well placed, Bai Ze was sleeping soundly, and Xiaohong was also asleep against the head of the bed.
She smiled faintly. But I felt someone behind me. There was a shudder.
When he turned around, it was Rong Yixuan, with his hair tied in green clothes, a touch of coldness between his eyebrows, but his gestures were chic, holding a blue and white plate in his hand, with thin ice in it, and some bright red lychees on the ice.
He glanced at her naturally, sat down and rested the plate on the table. Said: "This king is terrible? Why do you make you tremble? ”
"If the prince comes and doesn't send someone to spread the word, everyone will be scared." Ruoyun replied with a smile. Seeing Rong Yixuan staring at the ripe lychee with a serious expression, he couldn't help but say loudly, "The prince came just to bring the lychee?" It's a luxury to have these fresh fruits to eat in this big day......"
Rong Yixuan glanced at her, and only bowed slightly: "You taste, the emperor went to the palace, and most of this tribute could not be sent, so it was sent to the palace first." ”
She pushed but couldn't, so she had to pick one and slowly peel the shell, and Rong Yixuan also took it to eat.
In the middle of summer, the two sat silently, each eating fresh fruit, but there was a coolness, she began to covet the tranquility of the moment, sighing that if there was no dispute, brothers and sisters could sit around and chat, how good it would be.
It's just that she feels strange when she thinks about it, although Hu Shu'er's pregnancy was not publicized and only a few important ministers were notified, but Concubine De sent someone to deliver the letter as soon as possible, why did Rong Jinhuan delay returning to the palace? Does he not care about children at all? Or is it because Hu Shu'er is the daughter of Lord Hu?
Ruoyun felt uncomfortable when she thought about it, if Rong Jinhuan deliberately avoided it because he didn't want to have the blood of Lord Hu, in this way, let's not talk about Hu Shu'er, this child is his first child, isn't he happy at all?
"This king sent someone to invite King Yu, King Yu is not in the house, I'm afraid that the little guy will stay with you for a while longer." After a long time, Rong Yixuan saw her in a daze, and said lightly.
Ruoyun wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Cheng'er lives in my dormitory, and he has been instructed not to trespass if he has nothing to do, and no one else knows." Even if he knows the truth, he is my brother-in-law and a child, and no one will say anything. She said but had a little headache, Bai Cheng's food was not large, but in the end she had to eat a lot, she had to reduce her own food so as not to really deal with other people's questions, it was not that she was too careful, it was not easy to deal with the people in this palace if they were chasing the wind and catching shadows.
Rong Yixuan's expression was still cold, he glanced at her and stared at the lychee shells scattered in the basin without saying a word.
Ruoyun saw him like this, and smiled: "What is the prince worried about? Why don't you see the princess? ”
Although she smiled, her words were sharp, he should have talked to Hu Yuer if he had troubles, he shouldn't have looked for her, she thought so and still didn't say it after all.
Rong Yixuan smiled bitterly but didn't answer her question, his sharp eyes looked at her sharply, and said, "The emperor went to the summer resort, why didn't you take the opportunity to blame him when you had a big quarrel with the emperor for Zhao Wuyang?" ”
Hearing Zhao Wuyang's three words, Ruoyun's heart sank suddenly, and then it became cold, and she said coldly: "The prince doesn't want to make fun of me, not to mention that the palace concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics, he is the high priest of the Taishi Division, how can I move a virtuous concubine?" Even if I have the power to do something without evidence, I can't do it. As he spoke, he got up and stood facing the door, worried in his heart, this Zhao Wuyang and Rong Jinhuan didn't dare to act rashly, how could Rong Yixuan be interested?
"And what about Ben Wang to help you?" Rong Yixuan looked at her uneasiness, got up and paced behind her, and said.
Ruoyun was startled, her body stiffened, and she said coldly again: "The prince is too petty, Ruoyun is just a personal grudge when he talks about this, why let the prince be stigmatized." ”
"But that day, you obviously said in front of everyone that Zhao Wuyang colluded with the Qingping Sect?" Rong Yixuan hit the nail on the head.
Ruoyun was silent, but listened to him continue: "Do you know why the emperor acquiesced in what Zhao Wuyang did? ”
"Why?" Surprised again, she turned around in a daze.
This time, it was Rong Yixuan's turn to turn sideways, walked away and stood against the window, and his tone was deep: "When the emperor was alive, natural disasters continued, and the people of Guangjian Xingge were not happy, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he was indifferent to the Taishi Division and let it develop, but because the unauthorized use of the Star Pavilion would anger the old ministers and subjects who were convinced, and endanger the rule, so as to let it go and make the people suffer." He ordered me to kill all my relatives, but he still relied on the palace with a different surname to strategize, so how could the subjects of Tianyi be embarrassed? ”
Ruoyun was terrified when she heard this, there was no one else in the afternoon at this moment except for the two of them, and she was extremely irritated by her scream, but she was cold from head to toe, watching Rong Yixuan turn around and look at her eagle-like eyes, and couldn't help but feel her eyelids jump.
When Rong Yixuan said this, even she couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong, who owed whom, and who didn't end up fighting for my own interests.
However, if the kingdom does not have a ruler and the king has no lord, then who are the people? Rong Jinhuan, who is selfish and arbitrary in Rong Yixuan's mouth, even if he seems to be timid and mediocre, I am afraid that he is confident.
She bit her lip and swallowed everything she wanted.
"I see, this so-called natural disaster is not entirely blamed for perverse behavior, but the wrong person who chose the throne to come here......" Rong Yixuan suddenly said in a low voice and quickly.
Ruoyun's face turned pale, what was Rong Yixuan's intention to announce his decision so grandly?
She even trembled in her heart, she didn't say a word for a long time, she looked at him in a daze for a long time, barely pulled out a smile, and said, "Is the prince hot and dizzy to say faint words?" The prince knew that the throne was passed down by the edict of the previous emperor, so don't say any more rumors of natural disasters, this is a great crime of disobedience and unfilial piety. ……
"Then how could he be so at ease when he gave his mother the death?!" Rong Yixuan raised his voice suddenly, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded under the anger, and he clenched his fists and kissed loudly.
Ruoyun hurriedly looked around, but fortunately, the palace people were resting and there was no one around, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It is reasonable for the prince to have grievances, even the emperor will be considerate of the prince, but the prince is ......"
Ruoyun wanted to dissuade him, but he could see that his eyes were still cold after he finished venting, and his slightly relieved heart was lifted again, and he trembled: "Lord Wang, isn't it ...... you now?"
Rong Yixuan looked at her, and suddenly laughed, and after laughing, the slightest mildness on his face faded, and he raised his chin and said: "Ruoyun, you are a smart person, but it's a pity that this king doesn't know the way, in addition to killing Zhao Wuyang in the future, how can he compensate you and make you happy?" He said, narrowing his eyes and slowly walking over to her.
Ruoyun trembled and retreated, the current Rong Yixuan smelled of danger everywhere, but even if she escaped now, where could she go?
She had no way to escape for a long time, so she reluctantly sighed and said, "Lord Wang...... What are you going to do? ”
"This king wants you to keep your promise." Rong Yixuan said bluntly, his sharp eyes almost looking through the flesh and seeing the mind in her skull.
Ruoyun's brain buzzed, and the last trace of luck in her heart was gone, and the ensuing pain seemed to push her into the ice cellar, making her feel pain and tremble from the bottom of her heart.
"I will never be the enemy of the prince in this life......," she said slowly, her eyes wide, looking at Rong Yixuan, who seemed to be calm but murderous, her breathing was painful, and tears slipped from her eyes unconsciously.
How she wished that it wasn't herself who said this at this moment, how she wished she hadn't said it!
Rong Yixuan raised his hand expressionlessly, stretched out his sleeve to slowly wipe away her tears, his thin lips hooked up a wicked smile, and he softened his voice and said: "It seems that you haven't forgotten, this king is not wrong." After the fact, I will kill Zhao Wuyang for you, and I will also return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world. But......" he said, his eyes suddenly cold, and he removed his hand and said, "But this king will not let go of the people of the palace with a different surname, this king has long been in addition to the secret guard of this Chaolu Palace, even if anyone wants to report the news, they can't report it." ”
Ruoyun was about to faint, and after being shocked, she thought about what he said, and suddenly woke up: "You...... You let Cheng'er go! (To be continued......)
