Seeing Meng Hongyu losing his temper with Su Zirong, Ziling came to her senses, put on a face and smiled reluctantly, and said to Meng Hongyu in her soft and sweet voice: "Your Majesty, isn't Sister Rong worried about her heart?" ^”

Seeing Ziling's smile, most of the unhappiness in Meng Hongyu's heart had gone, and he said with a smile: "Remember to call the imperial doctor to come over and have a look after dinner, so that I can rest assured." ”

Zi Ling nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly relieved the tense atmosphere: "Your Majesty, you better hurry up and eat, otherwise, the food will be cold." Seeing such a handsome and handsome emperor, Ziling's appetite is also much better, looking at the table full of things and wanting to eat, what can I do? ”

Meng Hongyu was coaxed by Ziling's sweet words, and continued to eat.

Su Zirong lowered her head and ate quietly, and became the woman who was silent in front of Meng Hongyu again. Zi Ling couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she looked at her - this kind and beautiful woman always thinks about others everywhere and cares about others all the time, however, who can care about her?

The next morning, Bai Rushuang came in full spirit, and she seemed to have met a great joy and was in a good mood. Of course, how could she not be happy? Meng Hongyu hadn't been to Sitong Hospital for nearly a month, and last night, he went to look for her.

Bai Rushuang sent Zi Ling a good Gu Zhu purple tea (1), saying that a friend brought it to her brother from Jiangnan, and knew that Zi Ling and Su Zirong liked to drink tea, so they specially sent it to them.

Ziling instructed Xiaoru to put away the tea, and Su Zirong talked to Bai Rushuang on the side: "Do the Bai family still have friends in Jiangnan?" Why haven't you heard my sister mention it? ”

"Many years ago, I had a deep friendship with my brother, and then due to an accident, my family moved to the Jiangnan area, and recently I went to Beijing to visit friends,^" Bai Rushuang said.

Su Zirong was silent, remembering that the "cousin" and Bai Yunfeng also had a deep relationship, and the two were like brothers, but now, the cousin was wandering all over the world, lonely, and his life and death were unknown.

Aunt Qiu Ji carefully moved the jade pot ice to the courtyard, Bai Rushuang and Su Zirong played the piano again, and Ziling listened quietly on the side.

Near noon, Meng Hongyu went down to Yongle Palace, and when he saw the picture of "wife and concubine and happiness", he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Today, I'm here to listen to the piano, you don't need to be polite." Without waiting for them to say goodbye, he said cheerfully, and then sat down straight to the side.

"Why is the emperor so interested today?" Zi Ling stood beside him, smiling like a flower.

"Last night, Bai Zhaorong said that she had recently learned the piano with Concubine Rong, and her piano skills had improved, so she invited me to listen to the piano today." As he spoke, he stood up again, walked to the piano case, and looked at the jade pot ice with interest: "This is what Ling'er said last time, the piano that Bai Zhaorong gave to Concubine Rong?" ”

Zi Ling replied: "Does the emperor still remember? This piano was given by Bai Zhaorong, and Sister Rong said that this is a good piano, called Jade Kettle Bing. ”

Jade pot ice? Where do you seem to have heard this name? Meng Hongyu rummaged in his mind, and finally found the answer - many years ago, he saw it in the fourth brother's mansion - yes, it is the famous piano that the fourth brother cherishes!

Meng Hongyu hurriedly turned the piano over, only to see the three words "Jade Kettle Ice" engraved in cursive script above the Dragon Pond, and the double seal of "Shaoxing" under it, and the word "Ye" in Lishu engraved above Fengnuma - sure enough, it was the jade kettle ice of the fourth brother!

Meng Hongyu ignited a raging fire in his heart, and the blue muscles on his handsome white face were bursting out, clenching his teeth. Zi Ling was frightened by his sudden anger, and Su Zirong was also secretly puzzled.

Suddenly, Meng Hongyu picked up the piano and smashed the jade pot ice to the ground, only to hear a "boom", the strings were broken, and the body of the piano cracked.

Zi Ling's heart was pounding with fright, she clutched her chest tightly, and Yu Nu hurriedly came to help her.

Bai Rushuang was so frightened that she knelt on her knees, and her voice trembled: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry......"

Su Zirong saw that the jade pot ice was like a ring in the nine heavens after all, and it was difficult to escape the fate of broken strings, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and tears burst out of his eyes - perhaps, he was already doomed to be lonely in this life, so every piano I pinned on lovesickness could not escape bad luck!

Su Zirong's sad tears, in Meng Hongyu's view, undoubtedly added fuel to the fire: "Say! Do you still have a crush on him? ”

Su Zirong shed tears and replied sadly: "He has never entered my heart, so how can he come from'? ”

Meng Hongyu roared: "If it weren't for him, I dropped this qin, why would you be so sad?!" ”

Su Zirong replied to him angrily: "I didn't know that this qin was his!" She was also overly sad and dizzy, forgetting that she was just a "concubine" and calling herself "me".

Angering the Holy Face is already a big crime, and now he is still "contradicting" the emperor, Ziling is very worried, and he doesn't know what to do.

Bai Rushuang knelt beside him, trembling slightly with fright.

Zi Ling hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this piano was given to Sister Rong by Bai Zhaorong, and Sister Rong doesn't know whose piano it is!" ”

"The emperor is angry, it was my brother who blamed the concubine for bullying Sister Rong that day, asked the concubine and Sister Rong to apologize, and asked the concubine to give this qin to Sister Rong to make amends. The concubine really doesn't know where this qin came from? Bai Rushuang was afraid that Meng Hongyu's anger would burn on him, and he didn't care if he would affect his brother, so he hurriedly explained to Meng Hongyu.

"I don't know whose it is?" Meng Hongyu sneered, "Isn't it written on the back of this piano?" You don't even know whose piano it is? ”

He walked over and grabbed Su Zirong's collar, looked into her eyes with a gloomy face, and she didn't avoid his anger, looking at her fixedly with a pair of crystal eyes.

Thinking that Meng Hongyu had beaten Liu Wanruo and Liu Ruxin before, Ziling saw this posture and was worried that he would make a move on Su Zirong, so he leaned over and pretended to faint, and Yunu and Xiaoru hurriedly supported her......

Sure enough, seeing that Ziling "fainted", Meng Hongyu let go of Su Zirong, hurriedly ran over to hug Ziling, picked her up, and turned around and instructed Li Zhao: "Quick!" Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

Su Zirong stood firmly in the shade of the tree, his face pale, and tears raining down. Looking at Meng Hongyu's back as he hurriedly left with Ziling in his arms, Su Zirong hated him again - why did he always refuse to believe her sincerity? Why is he always wary of the concubines in the harem? Does he know how much these women want to rely on him, how much they want to be a simple and happy little woman under his protection?

Seeing that Bai Rushuang was still kneeling on the ground and crying, Su Zirong said coldly: "Get up!" The emperor is no longer here! ”

Bai Rushuang knelt at Su Zirong's feet, crying and said, "Sister Rong, I really don't know where this qin came from. I want to listen to my brother's words, and I sincerely apologize to Sister Rong......"

Su Zirong's expression was as indifferent as a statue, he just squinted at her coldly, and let her keep crying......
