The sour numbness on her hands has not yet been lifted, and the fine and crushed numbness is like a fine and dense electric current, intermittently transmitted to her heart.

Murong Chong saw Lin Ruo staring at the hand he was holding in a daze, and immediately let go of his hand, wanting to explain something: "...... last night"

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Murong Chong was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Youcao said, is this the root of the disease you left when you were in the Gu Mansion?" ”

"Well, Master Mo said it was a heart disease, and there is no cure." Lin Ruo replied simply, "Let the prince be frightened." ”

In the final analysis, she hasn't really come out of Chu Haoze's affairs yet, and she is already uneasy when she changes places; In addition, the real Gu Manxue also has the memory of drowning, and the night of the thunderstorm is easy to evoke that bad memory.

"Then today, do you still want to enter the palace?"

"Naturally, I want it."

"Then you ......"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Ruo smiled faintly at Murong Chong, "Last night's incident, Youcao can cover up the past." But if you don't enter the palace today, the emperor and grandmother will be worried, and the crown prince and King Ye will also have speculation. ”

Looking at Lin Ruo's bloodless face, Murong Chong sighed: "Actually, you don't have to be reluctant. ”

Even if it's for the sake of the contract, there's no need to fight so hard.

The memory of the candle night in this cave room is not good, but it is also a deep memory.

Anyway, it's just a formality, and Murong Chong doesn't take it to heart.

It's just that although he doesn't pity the jade, he is not hard-hearted. Lin Ruo's sincerity and mind had already moved him, even if it was out of the consideration of his allies, he would not force Lin Ruo to drag his sick body into the palace.

"Lord Wang, after all, I am a disciple of the 'Ghost Hand Yama' Mo Divine Doctor, and I am measured."

When Murong Chong heard this, he stopped persuading. The two of them changed into the deep clothes they had prepared, and then ordered someone to come in and wait for freshening.

Lin Ruo's side was naturally handed over to Youcao to serve, because his face was not good, Lin Ruo specially took care of Youcao and pounced on some powder to cover up. Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two people in the inner room, Lin Ruo comforted Youcao again and reassured her.

After finishing freshening up, Youcao accompanied Lin Ruo to the front hall for dinner.

All the servants and maids in the palace received the princess's reward after breakfast, looked at the new princess who smiled gently, and looked at their own prince, and felt from the bottom of their hearts that the two were a good match.

Steward Tao is the old man of Rongwangfu, and when Rongwangfu was still Yuwangfu, he was already the housekeeper of the palace. One should be courtesy, rules, natural familiarity. When the servants and maidservants of the palace saw their masters, they arranged a carriage and sent Murong Chong and Lin Ruo into the palace to thank him.

Although King Rong was not born to Emperor Mingzong, with the title of the fourth prince, Lin Ruo was also regarded as the royal daughter-in-law, and she wanted to offer tea to the emperor. However, they also had to enter the palace to thank them.

Lin Ruo and Murong Chong both knelt down in the Lin De Palace, took the porcelain cup from the tray in the hands of the palace maid, respectfully saluted Emperor Mingzong and Empress Mingzong, and accepted the generous gift from the emperor. Then the two of them toasted tea to the Queen Mother in turn. The Empress Dowager smiled and touched the heads of the two children, and especially instructed Murong Chong to treat Lin Ruo well, and then handed over the jade Buddha that she had brought to Lin Ruo's hands every day.

Lin Ruo carefully accepted the jade Buddha string and solemnly kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother. Of course, the strange look in the queen's eyes when she saw the Queen Mother handing over the Jade Buddha to Lin Ruo's hands did not escape Lin Ruo's sight.

This string of jade Buddha strings does not have any special symbols, but the ninety-nine jade Buddha beads on it have been enshrined in front of the Buddha for 9981 days, and they have been blessed by the Taoist monks. Now she is willing to transfer it to Lin Ruo, which shows the Queen Mother's love for Lin Ruo.

After coming out of the Lin De Palace, Lin Ruo was going to Qinmei Palace to visit Concubine Xian Niangniang. Jiahui will give birth in less than a month, and Concubine Xian Niangniang will not be able to leave the palace to visit. Although Concubine Xian Niangniang is the adoptive mother of Princess Jiahui, Jiahui has been raised by Concubine Xian's side since she was a child, and Concubine Xian has no other children, and the mother-daughter relationship between the two is closer than that of her biological mother and daughter. Concubine Xian Niangniang is naturally worried about Jiaheng who is about to give birth outside the palace, Lin Ruo knows this, she and Jiaheng are like sisters, so she naturally made the queen clear to her, and went to Qinmei Palace for Jiaheng.

When he arrived at Qinmei Palace, Lin Ruocai was told by Lan Quinoa, who was serving Concubine Xian Niangniang, that Concubine Xian Niangniang was unwell and had just taken medicine and fell asleep. Lin Ruo did not doubt him, handed over the gift he had prepared to Lan Quino, and asked Lan Quinoa to convey to Concubine Xian Niangniang, if there was anything, he could send someone to King Rong's Mansion to inform her.

Lan Quinoa saluted respectfully, indicating that she had written it down. At the same time, she entrusted Lin Ruo with the things and instructions prepared by Concubine Xian for Princess Jiahui.

Leaving the Qinmei Palace, Lin Ruo stopped, looked back at the palace surrounded by plum trees, and frowned. Concubine Xian's illness is strange, she should be unwilling to see her.

But why?

Lin Ruo couldn't figure it out.

Concubine Xian Niangniang is a rare person in the palace who is clear-minded, she has been pampered and humiliated for decades, and has quietly raised the six princesses to grow up, not fighting for fame, not fighting for the grace of the king, not fighting for the power of the six palaces, and her indisputable temperament makes her quite close to people in the palace. Because of Lin Kite, Concubine Xian has always taken care of the two sisters, Gu Manxi and Gu Manxue.

When did Concubine Xian start to distance herself from her?

Lin Ruo recalled carefully, as if it was...... After the emperor gave her a marriage, since then, she entered the palace several times and went to Qinmei Palace to meet Concubine Xian, and the people in the palace either said that Concubine Xian Niangniang happened to go elsewhere and was not in the palace, or that Concubine Xian Niangniang was unwell. The only time I saw Concubine Xian Niangniang, she also looked sad and absent-minded.

Does Concubine Xian Niangniang mind that she participates in the party struggle between the prince and King Ye, and is she afraid that it will affect Jiaxi?

With a pout, Lin Ruo had no way of being sure. I didn't have a good rest yesterday, and I got up early until now, and I haven't rested, and my mind is in chaos, so I just don't think about it anymore.

Lin Ruo and Murong Chong were about to be at Anqing Gate in the southeast of the imperial city, because they were closest to Qinmei Palace, they only needed to pass through the imperial garden. Lin Ruo only took Youcao alone, and Youcao was holding the things that Concubine Xian Niangniang had prepared for Jiahui in her hand. The two walked slowly, bypassing the Taihu Lake rockery, and Lin Ruo heard someone behind her calling her and stopped.

When I turned around, I saw that it was the eighth princess Xijiao who came with her maidservant.

"Hey, I've called you so much, how did you hear that? Isn't it deaf! ”

The eighth princess, Xijiao, is the daughter of Concubine Zhen, but Concubine Zhen's status is too low to raise her daughter. The princess who did not have a concubine under the queen's knees, Xijiao was as well-behaved and lovely as a dough when she was a child, so she was fostered in the queen's palace. The queen is very fond of Xijiao, to be precise, she is doting, so she has developed Xijiao's delicate and domineering temperament.

However, although Xijiao is quite unreasonable, her mind is very simple, and her likes and dislikes are written on her face. The prince, King Rong, and Xijiao grew up together since childhood, and the two elder brothers are very fond of this younger sister, but Xijiao is not very close to the prince, but likes to be tired of Murong Chong.

Seeing that the eighth princess was so arrogant to her own young lady, Youcao was about to come out, but was stopped by Lin Ruo with her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Eighth Princess, I just thought about what Concubine Xian asked me to convey to the Sixth Princess, so I didn't pay attention. I don't know what the eighth princess called me? ”
