Chapter 253: Rong Ruo, you are so bold
Jinlan Palace
In the hall where the needle could be heard, the eyes of Emperor Wei Hehe shone directly at Rong Ruo, and the dark and bottomless eyes were like a pool of deep water that drowned people with nowhere to breathe.
Rong Ruo held his breath, quietly standing in the main hall, looking directly at the emperor, his eyebrows were clear, his clear eyes were black and white, they were as pure as spring dew and autumn frost, but the bottom of his eyes condensed a cold color that was not easy to detect.
To say that the evidence is conclusive, Rong Ruo has contacted and treated the black cat, and then the black cat took the initiative to find the close Rong Ruo is even more incredible, and then Sang Zhaoyuan was attacked by the black cat and fell down and slipped the tire, Rong Ruo happened to be next to her, saying that she was controlling the black cat on the side, no one believed it.
Let's talk about the purpose and motive, if Rong Ruo, as the quasi-princess of King Jing, she has the obligation to eradicate possible threats for her husband and help Concubine Yi beat Sang Zhaoyuan, who is competing for favor, back to her original form, which is a double win.
At this time, no one thought about it carefully, Mu Beichen was not the emperor's favored prince in Dazhao, and he was even an invisible prince for a time, except for the title of King Jing given by the emperor without discrimination, he never even got a serious position. Then, at the moment when the crown prince was established, he rushed to eradicate an embryo that had not yet formed in order to compete for the storage position......
Unless Mu Beichen's brain is broken, no one will do this, right?
Besides, if you say it, why don't you just kill the crown prince, and then eradicate the other adult and minor princes, and cripple them, otherwise it will not be Sang Zhaoyuan's turn to be born yet.
However, no one thinks about it, or it doesn't make much sense to think about it or not, they have different goals and do the same thing.
"Rong Ruo, you are so bold!" The corners of the emperor's mouth drooped coldly, but his eyes were burning with raging fire, which seemed to be able to destroy all the way to the bottom of people's hearts.
The finch outside the window lightly crossed the branches, stirred the snow on the pine needles when stirring its wings, the white snow fell down, the finch spread its wings and flew into the sky, and the petite and vigorous black shadow was reflected on the window screen of the side hall of Jinlan Palace.
Rong Ruo was facing the black shadow left by the bird's flying away, facing the emperor's surging anger, she leaned over and bowed deeply, her demeanor was calm and not flustered, and when she raised her head again, her chin raised her proud head, her eyes flashed with burning brilliance, and she said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please allow the people to defend themselves." ”
The emperor's scrutinizing gaze was on Rong Ruo for a long time, and he laughed angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, I don't need you to bother with words." ”
Rong Ruo's clasped hands suddenly squeezed hard, yes, she just forgot that this was not a court, even if it was, the words of the Son of Heaven, how could others refute the things that the emperor decided, she always put the rules of the world in a thousand years later, but forgot that those laws, obligations, regulations, responsibilities, each of which was not used to bind the nobles of the feudal era.
Concubine Lin looked at Concubine Yi with a smile, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a long sneering smile, meaning something: "Concubine Yi, the princess Jing you found is really not small, and she is so presumptuous in front of the emperor, and she doesn't take the rules of respect and inferiority in her eyes at all." ”
Concubine Yi's eyelids jumped violently, and at the same time, her heart was raised high, as if she had a knife hanging in the middle, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed, she bit the flesh of her lower lip, and her body slowly stood up in the sparkling of her eyes.
"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Yi raised her head, with tears of grievance in her eyes, and she wanted to cry uncontrollably, it seemed that the most begonia contained morning dew, glamorous but not vulgar, "It's the concubine's poor discipline, but if the concubine uses a little more attention, it won't be like this, Chen'er's child is emotional, because of this, the concubine always can't bear to hurt his heart, the emperor, you can punish the concubine, the concubine has no resentment." ”
Concubine Lin snorted from her nose with disdain, and her face became a little meaner, "Concubine Yi doesn't sing for a long time, but I didn't expect to be so familiar with acting!" The last four words, Concubine Lin put them in the back molars and let them out little by little, and it is not difficult to hear the sarcasm inside.
Concubine Yi threw herself directly at the emperor's feet, her face was lying on the emperor's knees, a tear squeezed into the corner of her eyes did not flow out, her eyes were watery, reflecting the bright light, like a moon plate in the Mid-Autumn Festival, full of jade, I saw pity, so I looked up at the emperor stupidly, with the most trusting and expectant eyes, as if I was sincerely kneeling down to worship the god of heaven.
Even though the emperor was still angry, he still couldn't bear to kick Concubine Yi away, and because he didn't know if this matter was related to Concubine Yi, he didn't act because of the suspicion in his heart, but just stared at Concubine Yi with unfathomable eyes.
Concubine Yi's heart went up and down, her face was even more aggrieved and frank, she secretly regretted that she stepped on Rong Ruo too fast just now, and actually forgot that for the time being, they were also people in the same boat, if Rong Ruo was guilty, how could she protect herself, the emperor's demeanor at the moment had clearly shown his suspicions.
Concubine Jin closed the tea bowl with the tea lid with a 'snap', and her phoenix eyes glanced at the emperor and Concubine Yi, maintaining a natural phoenix demeanor, and said indifferently: "Concubine Lin, you don't have to say a word." ”
Concubine Lin pursed her mouth, but she was not convinced after all, and said with a temperament: "The emperor has always favored Concubine Yi, and now he knows that someone is the mastermind behind it, but he doesn't care about it, not to mention that the concubine is not convinced, who will give Sang Zhaoyuan and the child in her belly a justice, Your Majesty, you can listen, it is the child crying in the sky!" ”
"Presumptuous!" The emperor grabbed a set of tea bowls on the table next to him and smashed them out directly, and with a crisp cracking sound, they exploded at Concubine Lin's feet in the shape of a ceremonial flower, and the tea soup splashed wantonly, staining Concubine Lin's luxurious skirt robe.
Concubine Lin hurriedly bowed her head and knelt down, with a hint of unwillingness on her face hanging her head.
"Full of foul language, your courtesy, righteousness and shame, what is the difference between dignity and inferiority?!" The emperor was angry, his finger poked at the top of Concubine Lin's head, and asked in an accentuated tone.
Seeing this, Gran's kneeling body shrank and shrank behind Concubine Lin, she didn't expect Concubine Lin to stand out for her family Zhaoyuan, and she never expected the emperor to be so partial to Concubine Yi and Rong Ruo, but the child of her mother's mother was killed by these two people, Gran's head was about to drop to her neck, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
What else did Concubine Lin have to say, Concubine Jin said in a timely manner: "Don't be angry, the emperor doesn't know Concubine Lin on the first day, she is such a straight intestine, she can't hide her words in her heart, and her tone is a little unpleasant, but after all, it is for the good of the emperor and your sisters." ”
In this way, Concubine Lin swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and she took the steps handed by Concubine Jin, because she also knew that it would not be good for her and the prince to anger the emperor, and the key now was how to drag Concubine Yi into the water.
Concubine Yi secretly scolded Concubine Jin for being troublesome in her heart, lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, raised her head and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Lin's sister has been in the palace to accompany the emperor for the longest time, and she is the prince's mother, of course she hopes that the emperor will be ......."
Concubine Jin glanced at Concubine Yi warningly, her lips curved slightly, and stopped her from saying later, "Concubine Yi, your makeup is spent, go to the side to repair it, don't lose your honor in front of the emperor." ”
After finishing speaking, Concubine Jin's phoenix eyes were lowered, her bright eyes turned to Rong Ruo, her dignified and atmospheric face with a hint of a smile, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were sharp and unignotable, and her voice paused for a while, and she said: "Your Majesty, the concubines think that sinners also have the right to defend themselves, and they must always convince the other party, since everyone is here, why not listen to her, Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
Whether it was for personal reasons or the identity of the concubine, Concubine Jin still said this, Rong Ruo had already made up her mind in her heart that the emperor did not want to listen, she still had to tell the truth, listening to Concubine Jin's mouth, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
After asking for the emperor's approval, Concubine Jin raised her hand at Rong Ruo, "You can say it." ”
After Rong Ruo nodded to the emperor and Concubine Jin, she did not speak, but walked to the side and pretended to be deaf and dumb for a long time. ”
Imperial Physician Wen raised one hand and motioned for Rong Ruo to speak directly, while putting on a deaf look.
"As the Imperial Doctor just said, in addition to the traumatic medicine, there are traces of orchid root on the cloth, can the Imperial Doctor judge the time of use of these two medicines?" Rong Ruo took a strip of cloth wrapped in a coarse cloth cloth from the tray that was idle on the table next to him, put it to his nose and lowered his head to sniff.
Imperial Physician Wen's pale brows were twisted together, like two hemp ropes mixed together, he took the strip of cloth handed by Rong Ruo and sniffed it again, and stroked his short beard with his fingers, "The longest is not more than half a month." ”
Rong Ruo nodded, and asked again: "According to Imperial Doctor Yiwen, what is the dosage of orchid root above?" ”
Imperial Physician Wen didn't hesitate this time, and quickly said: "The amount is not much, at most it is half a penny, but the orchid root is scarce, and this small half penny is afraid that it is worth a thousand taels of gold." Imperial Physician Wen stretched out a hand and gestured to a thousand.
Everyone gasped, there are many precious medicines in the world, what thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, and 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, but this little-known orchid root is so valuable, it is really unheard of.
"At this rate, how long will it take to make a black cat addicted?" Rong Ruo didn't care about the reactions of others, and went straight to ask.
Imperial Physician Wen glanced at Rong Ruo, and stopped talking a little, Rong Ruo smiled and said, "It's okay to ask Imperial Doctor to say it directly." ”
Imperial Physician Wen looked at her calm and unhurried, and slowly spoke: "Half a month is enough." "In other words, it was about the same time as it was found on the strip of cloth, from half a month ago to now, and it is addictive enough.
Without waiting for others to say anything, Concubine Lin first asked: "Rong Ruo, what else do you have to say?!" ”
Concubine Yi had just finished tidying up her appearance from the side and walked over, listening to the conversation between Imperial Doctor Wen and Rong Ruo in her ears along the way, Concubine Lin's sudden words, the startled Concubine Yi moved lightly, disrupting the rhythm, she subconsciously looked up at the emperor, just as the emperor's eyes also suddenly swept over, Concubine Yi's heart was like being splashed by a basin of cold water in a deep winter well, and it was completely cold.
"The folk girl has something to say." Unexpectedly, Rong Ruo raised his voice, without the slightest panic of being exposed, but was unbelievable.
Concubine Lin smiled coldly: "See if you can still weave a flower, you can't escape today!" ”
