Chapter 255: How Can She Not Die
The question in many people's hearts slipped by, how did Rong Ruo's maid get Lu Guiren's palace clothes?
It stands to reason that Lu Guiren is also the master of the palace, not to mention that Rong Ruo is not a good identity, she has become the princess of Jing Wangfu, and she has no right to stretch her arms in the harem, which is taboo.
In response to these questions, Rong Ruo just said to the emperor: "Please let Rong Minnu explain to the emperor later." "For now, it's better to solve the matter in front of you quickly.
The emperor didn't speak, even Concubine Jin didn't have much to say, and the others didn't have this qualification.
Imperial Physician Wen is the real thing, he took the palace robe and checked it from head to end, and soon bowed down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there are traces of orchid root on this dress!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the room was in an uproar.
When did it start to be so common in the royal palace?
The emperor was really angry this time, and there were waves of unsettled, and he used his harem as a place to hide dirt and dirt.
"This dress is a light cloud satin sent from the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, the fabric is light and soft, sitting for a long time without seeing traces, under the sun and moonlight, there is a cloud-like light flowing, so it is named after it." Rong Ruo walked next to Imperial Physician Wen, his eyebrows and eyes were alone, and his eyes were brighter than snow, "The embroidery thread inside is made of Li Daiqing from the Jinxiu Pavilion in Beijing, this kind of embroidery thread is not only tough and not easy to break, it is very good to dye, but it is also widely loved by everyone because of another utility, can Doctor Wen know?" ”
Facing Rong Ruo's clear eyes, Imperial Physician Wen put the clothes in his hand back into the tray, nodded and said: "Li Daiqing is different from other embroidery threads, it is dyed with color, dyed with fragrance, and lasts for a long time. ”
Rong Ruo smiled at Imperial Physician Wen: "Imperial Physician Wen is really knowledgeable, that's right, the special effect of Li Daiqing is that it is easy to contaminate the smell, so the orchid root on this dress can survive to this day and has not dissipated." ”
Concubine Lin walked out, wrinkled her nose and looked down at the purple palace dress from top to bottom with a little disgust, "Who knows if you did it halfway." "The thing was brought by Yuegui, and Yuegui is Rong Ruo's maid, and it is reasonable for Concubine Lin to be so suspicious.
Who knew that Imperial Physician Wen waved his hand and said affirmatively: "This is impossible, the traces left on the orchid root on it have been more than half a month, to say the least." ”
Everyone's eyes all looked at Lu Guiren again, her white face added a touch of whiteness, and she knelt down in a hurry and said: "There is no reason for the concubine to go to great lengths to harm herself, and Imperial Doctor Wen said that the orchid root is very scarce and valuable, where did the concubine get the ability." ”
"You can't, isn't there anyone else who can do that?" Concubine Yi turned out from behind the screen with Nana, her flower-like face showed a delicate smile, and her radiant eyes slid over Concubine Lin, "Lu Guiren, the clothes are yours, if you ask us, you might as well ask yourself." ”
Concubine Yi has a sense of pleasure of turning over and being the master, Concubine Lin tossed for most of the day, and finally this fire burned on herself, how could she not make Concubine Yi happy.
Lu Guiren raised his face as quiet as Qiuyue, and said sincerely: "The emperor knows what the concubine is, the concubine has always been safe and secure since she entered the palace, and she has never blushed with anyone, how can the concubine make that kind of pickled method to harm people, not to mention that the concubine does not have this resourcefulness, even if she gives the concubine 10,000 guts, the concubine will never dare." ”
The emperor also understands Lu Guiren's temperament, he is always tepid, and he is gentle and humble in everything he does, even if he usually serves him very tremblingly, as if he is completing a task, which makes people feel very unhappy.
The emperor hesitated, he really couldn't see the reason for Lu Guiren to do this, what was the use of harming Qian Changzai, to put it mildly, Qian Changzai was to mention it a few more times, and he couldn't get past Concubine Yi and the others.
Rong Ruo's fingers shrunk in her sleeves pinched the cuffs, closed her eyes for a moment, and then opened them quickly, there seemed to be a desolation flashing in the depths of her eyes, her stunning face smiled, the corners of her eyes opened upward, and there was a bit of cold air faintly, "Lu Guiren, do you still remember Xiuxin." ”
Except for Gran Zhulian, who shrank aside and was not qualified to interject, Qian Chang, who was slightly demented and stunned, and everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, and when they heard Rong Ruo mention an unfamiliar name, they didn't react to who they were talking about.
Lu Guiren's eyelashes trembled, her soft and docile eyes flashed very quickly, and she turned her head a little unnaturally and wiped her eyes: "Who is Xiuxin?" ”
Rong Ruo smiled, her smile was sensitive, and her expression was a little cold, "You are a noble person in the harem, how can you remember a low-level palace maid, but if I say that it is the cowardly and humble little palace maid who is whipped every day, and her whole body is covered with whip marks, she drowned in the cold mirror lake less than an hour ago, and now she is lying on her short broken bed with bruises all over her body and no breath, waiting to be thrown into a mass grave, I don't know if Lu Guiren remembers or not?!" ”
The more Lu Guiren listened, the more frightened he became, the muscles on his face twitched one after another, and he was unavoidable by Rong Ruo's gaze, and his eyes glanced around: "You...... You're talking about the rough girl who sprinkled the sweep, she broke the things in my palace, but she ran out with two reprimands, how can you ...... Why did she throw herself into the lake, how could this be? ”
Rong Ruo's face was filled with a thick layer of haze, and the alienation and indifference in her eyes were so clearly presented in front of everyone for the first time, making her whole person look cold and cold, and naturally exuded a fierce momentum that was different from usual, her fingers grasping the cuffs couldn't help but tighten, and her eyes were cold and cold when she looked at Lu Guiren, but under a closer look, there was a monstrous anger like fire under that cold gaze.
"Because she overheard your words, and knew that you secretly fed the black cat orchid root, in order to use the black cat to frame Qian Changzai, and because she learned that you inadvertently knew that I had saved the black cat and drugged it, she thought of a perfect plan to kill people with a knife!" Rong Ruo leaned forward, leaned down slightly, stared at Lu Guiren tightly with his eyes, and pressed over step by step, "Today is the time you have been waiting for a long time, and it is also the day when you frame Qian Chang and blame me for the implementation of the seamless plan!" ”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Lu Guiren raised his head, and looked at Shang Rongru's cold gaze, the black hole and clear ridged gaze shot straight over, as if it could penetrate the bottom of your heart, and see all the dirt and dirt in it clearly, there was a sense of shame of being exposed to the sun in broad daylight, Lu Guiren's body was unconsciously weak, and he supported his head with his hands when he leaned back.
Rong Ruo remembered that Xiuxin was lonely and pitiful lying on the wooden bed, not breathing, and would not see her timidly smiling and saying that the girl was really good-looking like a fairy, and that she was the best person for slaves, nor would she see her trembling and covering her scars with her sleeves, although she lived a humble and lowly life at the bottom, she was grateful and fantasized about the beauty of this world.
There will be no more in the future, there will be no less little palace maid who doesn't even dare to speak loudly, and the cowardly little girl who is always covered in scars and blames herself for being clumsy and not doing good things.
Rong Ruo's heart was filled with a trace of pity somewhere, it was still a little girl under the age of fifteen, if she was born in an ordinary family, she should also be loved by her father and mother, and she may not have had a good day in her life, and finally lived in the palace in fear.
Rong Ruo's slightly cold fingertips pinched her cuffs, she thought, the water in the mirror lake must be very cold, Xiuxin is really cold, otherwise how could she have been frozen to a blue and purple body, and the scars on the thin arm like dry wood have just healed, Rong Ruo knew that she secretly used the ointment she sent, was that simple and a little stupid little girl using the medicine while muttering that Miss Rong is really the kindest person in the world.
Rong Ruo pinched the fingertips of her sleeves into her palm, she was not as good as Xiu thought, she was used to life and death and indifferently announced death one after another, she treated anyone selfishly and alienated after she came here, including knowing that Zhou Qinzhu might really want to be friends with her, she did not hesitate to use the most ruthless words to expel the other party, because Rong Ruo always regarded herself as a guest, and passers-by did not need to have too much connection with this world.
Xiuxin, the little palace maid who only has one side, she just gave a jar of medicine, if she had known that Xiuxin would have given her life, Rong Ruo would rather not have that moment of soft-heartedness.
Raised her head and closed her eyes to the ceiling, and after opening it again, the water light inside seemed to be absorbed by the sun's rays, her moist eyes looked at Lu Guiren's frightened and uneasy look, slowly raised her right hand, and the palm holding her fist reached out in front of Lu Guiren, slowly parting her five fingers, "Lu Guiren, do you know this thing?" ”
Lu Guiren looked up with a slightly sluggish expression, and there was a handkerchief lying in the palm of Rong Ruo's hand, on which there was a pink crystal with an irregular stone the size of a thumb, but it was a stone, and it was more like crystal glass, in the bright light of the main hall, it looked crystal clear, and when the edges and corners were prominent, there would be a little white edge, not as shining as a pink gem, but it was also so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
Lu Guiren looked at the palms of Shang Rongruo's hands, his pupils dilated violently, and his face turned pale and pale, "How could you ......" She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, pinched her fingertips with a hand, and the pain made her wake up violently, "This, what is this?" ”
"It's a bluebird root! This is the root of the orchid! Imperial Doctor Wen shouted excitedly, regardless of the image, he rushed over to Rong Ruo's palm, squinted his slightly dizzy old eyes, and stretched out his head, "Sure enough, it's exactly the same as what the book says, it's as bright as a jewel, transparent and shiny, and the horns are turning snow foam, solid but not melting!" ”
Rong Ruo simply gave the things to Imperial Doctor Wen, bent down, propped his elbows on his knees, looked at Lu Guiren levelly, the corners of his mouth brought up an arc of a smile, but his eyes were as quiet as a deep well, without a trace of waves, his voice was very low, and he whispered in his ear as if coaxing people to sleep: "Didn't Lu Guiren see clearly, do you want to take a closer look?" His head tilted, "No, Lu Guiren should be very familiar with it, after all, you have to use it every day." ”
"You, what you say, I don't understand." Lu Guiren propped his hands and stepped back, but no matter how she retreated, Rong Ruo's gaze followed her face tightly.
"It's Xiuxin, Xiuxin she gave it to me." Rong Ruo maintained a bent posture, her eyes bent slightly, and the corners of her mouth brought out a cold and cruel smile, "The water in Mirror Lake is so cold, Xiu's heart is frozen when she jumps, but you see, she is holding this thing tightly in her hand, it is her grievance, she is telling me...... She died very unjustly, Lu Guiren! ”
"Ahh
"Xiuxin eavesdropped on the conversation between you and the people around you, she knew that you were going to frame me, that stupid child was worried about my little favor to her, thinking that you couldn't frame it if she stole something in your hand, but she was an inferior palace maid who boldly entered the noble man's dormitory, which naturally aroused the suspicion of others, and it was natural to be caught, and then ......" Rong Ruo's eyebrows raised, and her beautiful side face brought a bit of cold momentum, raised her tone, and said sharply: "If you want to cause her to fall into the water and die, you will ask someone to cover her alive!" ”
