Anchang Hall

Shu Rusheng and Mama stepped into the main hall, and they saw that the Empress Dowager was not as kind as before, but cold, and she would be angry at any time. Shu Rusheng looked at her back, a little sad. Every step was heavy, and he finally walked in front of her and knelt down and said, "Shu Rusheng has seen the Queen Mother"

When the Empress Dowager heard her voice, she turned to look at her, her face was still indifferent, and she said, "Shu Rusheng, you can plead guilty." ”

Shu Rusheng looked up at her, shook his head and said, "Rusheng is not guilty"

The Empress Dowager sat down, calm, glared at Shu Rusheng and said, "The mourning family asks you, you are familiar with the king, is there anything unseemly." ”

Shu Rusheng bowed and said: "Rusheng is indeed familiar with the king, but it is not what the Empress Dowager said, Rusheng knows his identity, and I hope the Empress Dowager will investigate it carefully." ”

The Empress Dowager laughed and said coldly: "Identity? With your identity, you shouldn't be a concubine, and the mourning family saw that your Shu family and the Qi family had a good relationship, so they asked you to take good care of Jun'er, but now you are in a commotion. ”

Shu Rusheng was still kneeling, she tried to recall that it was Shu Yi who blocked her, and told her that she was the lord of Dunwan Jing'an in the past, but now she is just a young lady of the Shu family, and they will not treat themselves as well as Qi Anya. She knelt down and said: "The Empress Dowager Rusheng knows that her status is low and she is not worthy of King Muling, but Rusheng has indeed never had a relationship with the king. ”

The Empress Dowager trembled with anger, pointed with her finger and said: "Shu Rusheng, you are still hard-mouthed, are you forcing the mourning family to torture you, so that you will admit that you have done such a dirty thing." ”

Shu Rusheng was not afraid, shook his head and said: "Rusheng has not done it, Rusheng has not done such a thing." ”

The Empress Dowager saw that she was so uninteresting, and originally just wanted her to admit it, abolish the name of Princess Muling, and let her leave Kyoto to calm the turmoil. She let the old woman next to her shake Shu Rusheng's face, and the grandmother on the side saw this and protected her. said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, you are a reasonable person, why did you punish Miss before you found out, Miss is still Princess Muling's person no matter what, it was you who married the palace when we first married, and our Miss has always been kind and has never calculated who anyone." The Empress Dowager, you are also a Buddha worshipper, why can't you be kind to those who are good? ”

Shu Rusheng was a little surprised when she heard Mama's words, and the Empress Dowager scolded angrily: "You are an inferior person, what qualifications do you have to preach to the mourning family, and Jasmine even beat this slave together." ”

After listening to her words, Shu Rusheng said in his heart for a while: "The Queen Mother, you are hypocritical, you are just because of the guilt of the prince, it was you who broke up his marriage with Anya, I am just your pawn, it was you who hurt me." ”

When the Empress Dowager heard her say Qi Anya's words, her heart was even more angry, letting those mothers-in-law beat her hard, and Mama had always cherished Shu Rusheng, how could she let others hurt her. She protected her with her whole body, and Shu Rusheng listened to Mama's painful screams and cried nonstop.

At this time, Concubine Shu came from outside and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager and said, "Grandmother Huang's everything is the fault of the concubine, and it was the concubine who let the princess enter the palace that day." ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she told them to stop and said, "Is it you?" ”

Concubine Shu saw that Shu Rusheng's hair and headdress were messy, turned back again, and said to the Queen Mother: "Yes, the concubine knows that you are in a bad mood on the tenth day of the first month of June, you said that when you see the back of the princess, you always feel that you see the county lord, so the concubine invites the princess in." It's just that I met the king on the road that day, and the king said that this is not good, and the concubine did not invite the princess to you, but the three of us chatted a few words, and we never thought that there would be such a thing, everything is the fault of the concubine. The princess has always been in the house, how could she seduce the king and embarrass King Muling? ”

The Empress Dowager wanted to say something, but saw Qi Liansheng also come from outside, knelt in front of her and said, "Liansheng has seen the Empress Dowager." ”

She looked at him and said, "Lian Sheng, you're here too?" ”

Qi Liansheng looked up at Shu Rusheng and Mama on the side, then looked at the Queen Mother, and said, "Yes, Rusheng made a mistake, Liansheng must come." ”

"Oh, why?"

Qi Lian heard Concubine Shu's words when he was born, and he knew that Ling Hengyi couldn't come forward, so he let Concubine Shu come. said: "Rusheng is Lian Sheng's sister, Lian Sheng also knows that rumor, it is true that Rusheng was in the palace at that time, but it can't explain the truth of that matter." But you must know that King Mu Ling has always been like this, and the same is true after the side concubine entered the mansion, and the prince has not been in the mansion all the time, and he has always been like a fate for military affairs. The Empress Dowager should not have come to question Rusheng, but to ask King Mu Ling, whether she wanted a family or military merits. ”

The Empress Dowager was only seriously thinking about what Qi Liansheng said at this time, and since she heard the rumors, she was also thinking about the reputation of Wang Yijun and Ling Hengyi, and she didn't think about anything else. She was a little shaken, and when Qi Liansheng saw this, he said: "Liansheng is willing to find out this rumor and beg the Empress Dowager to let Rusheng go." ”

The Empress Dowager felt a little guilty, and indeed she had not yet found out before she declared Shu Rusheng into the palace. She waved her hand and did not speak. Qi Liansheng got up and helped Shu Rusheng up, and Concubine Shu also walked out behind them.

When she got outside, Concubine Shu saw that Shu Rusheng's hair was messy, and said, "My lord, the princess's hair is messy and indecent." Go to the Jinghe Hall of the main palace and freshen up. Luckily? ”

Qi Liansheng looked at her, it was indeed a little messy, so he said, "Okay, everything is annoying Concubine Shu." ”

Concubine Shu took Shu Rusheng's hand, took her and said, "Don't worry, my lord's palace will let the princess go back." ”

Jinghe Temple

Concubine Shu asked Mama to go down to wash and wash, and by the way, she was beaten a lot in order to protect Shu Rusheng. Concubine Shu personally helped Shu Rusheng comb her hair, Shu Rusheng looked at her embarrassed appearance in the mirror, and said: "Why did Niangniang save me, you can be a bystander." ”

She was the only one in the temple, and the rest were driven out. Concubine Shu helped her put on jewelry and said, "Because one day is a grace, a lifetime is a grace." ”

"Huh?"

Concubine Shu put down the jewelry in her hand, knelt behind her, and said, "They can't see who you are, but Wanqing will never forget the smell on your body for the rest of her life, it was you who saved Wanqing from fire and water." When I first met you, I thought you were the county lord, right. ”

Shu Rusheng listened to her words, stood up and turned around and knelt, she helped her up and said, "I'm afraid you're wrong, I'm not, I'm Shu Rusheng." ”

Concubine Shu shook her head, tears flowed down, and said: "No, at that time, in order to save me, you stayed in the cave with me for one night, you said that I wanted to find you, and I could find you at any time, but when I finally went to look for you, I received the news of your death, and I didn't see you in the Anchang Palace until that day, you are." If you weren't, why did you show up in the Peach Blossom Forest that day, I was there at that time. ”

Shu Rusheng looked at the woman, although she still remembered, but she actually told anyone, and she was a little suspicious. said, "What do you mean?" ”

Concubine Shu bowed and said, "I don't know what happened to you, but Wanqing is willing to help you hide it, and she is also willing to be the closest person to you." ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because if I don't tell the Empress Dowager, because I want to protect you."

Shu Rusheng helped her up and nodded. "Even if you tell her, I don't blame you for anything. Maybe they knew, and I'd be better. ”

Concubine Shu knew that Shu Rusheng had been smiling since she became a princess. She comforted her and comforted: "Why do you have to live on others, you are you, you have your own life, isn't this you the same as before?" ”

Shu Rusheng looked at Concubine Shu and asked questioningly, "My former me?" ”

Concubine Shu didn't know when she shed tears, and said with tears: "In the past, you were the most noble woman in the Ling Dynasty, but do you know? In my eyes, you have a lot of unsatisfactory things, and you are always afraid of something. Now you are no longer Qi Anya, but you are still afraid of something. Isn't it the most important thing to be happy? You can live what you want. ”

Shu Rusheng turned to look at herself in the mirror, she once thought that what she wanted most was to marry Wang Yijun, but when she married him, she realized that it was not what she wanted, like her aunt was so depressed every time she was in the palace. She turned to look at Concubine Shu, the person in front of her was not the most dazzling person in the palace, but she was elated every day.

Shu Rusheng didn't say anything, only heard a knock outside the door. Concubine Shu wiped away her tears and walked to open the door. When he saw that it was Lin Zhenguo, he invited him in. Lin Zhenguo walked up to Shu Rusheng and knelt down and said, "The slave sees the county master, and the king sent the servant to say that it was his fault that he couldn't go to Anchang Hall to save you." ”

Shu Rusheng watched Lin Zhenguo say this in front of Concubine Shu, afraid that Concubine Shu was also his own person, so he said: "Go back and reply to my cousin, I'm okay to reassure him." ”

Lin Zhenguo listened to her words, took a brocade box from his sleeve, held it in front of her and said: "The king said, you have had a lot of things recently, this is the pearl of the tribute of the country, and it has been through the Buddha's ceremony. ”

Shu Rusheng went to play the brocade box, which contained a bead made of red beads, and also used cypress winter and summer evergreen as a pendant, symbolizing harmony. She picked it up, and Concubine Shu said, "You have encountered so many things, you should be careful and careful now." My father-in-law will go back first, and I will let the princess go back to the house later, and everything will be careful in the future. ”

Lin Zhenguo bowed out again, and at this time, Mama walked in, and Concubine Shu saw her and said, "The princess is also sorted out, go back to the palace quickly." ”

Mama saluted, and followed Shu Rusheng out of the Jinghe Palace.

Anchang Hall

Jasmine urged the palace people to clean the outside of the palace, only to see Wang Yijun coming from another direction. He came to Jasmine and said, "Mama, what happened to Rusheng?" ”

When Mo Xiang heard Wang Yijun's words, she turned to look at him, sighed and said, "It was originally an accident, but Lord Qi saved her and brought her back directly." Lord, listen to Mama's advice, the princess is the person you should cherish. ”

Wang Yijun was thinking about something, and Jasmine Xiang was a little stunned when he saw him, so he walked into the hall.
