Muling Palace, firewood house.

The night gradually darkened, and Su's mother had been doing things by the pool for three years, but today she didn't have to feel a little unaccustomed. She went to the small kitchen to ask for a bowl of porridge and some green vegetables, and those people in the house knew that Mother Su was now Shu Rusheng's person, so naturally they didn't dare to slack off. She took the things she wanted from the kitchen to Yibai's room.

Yibai was still in pain, and there was no one to feed her, so her stomach was already hungry and growling. She was thinking of a way to come, only to hear the door creaking, she poked her head out, thinking that it was her uncle and Uncle Sun who came, and when the person came and saw Su's mother, who had often bullied before, she was a little unconvinced and threw her head aside, and said coldly: "Why do you come to see my jokes?"

Mother Su put down the things she brought on the table, walked to her bed, and said, "If I wanted to see your jokes, I would have cried in the princess's room a long time ago, and asked the princess to drive you out of the palace." ”

Yibai bit his lip and asked a little puzzled: "Yes, you should have asked the princess to drive me away, is it trying to torture me?" ”

Mother Su smiled and said, "Torture you, what is your situation now, do you understand?" You called your uncle to save you in the morning, did you? If you want to torture, can you still lie in this bed? ”

Yibai propped himself on the bed with his hands, looked at Su's mother and said, "I treat you like that on weekdays, what do you want to do to me like this?" ”

Mother Su looked around and sneered: "Seeing that you are still young, you are not bad to the bone." In that case, why don't we get along well, it's all good for us, I'm old, and I don't want to think about pleasing my master. ”

Yibai was a little stunned, with her identity as Su's mother, it was enough to be on the side of Princess Shu Rusheng of Muling, and now the Qi family was also a big force in the Ling Dynasty. "What do you want, how can I help you."

Su's mother was silent, she only went to take the things that she had just brought in, put them in front of her bed, and said, "I don't want you to help me with anything, I just want the firewood room to coexist peacefully, you don't cause trouble, and I don't care about anything." You can eat these porridges by yourself, it's not good to be hungry. ”

With that, she walked out.

Muling Palace, Shanglin.

It was late at night, and there was still a faint candlelight in Shu Rusheng's room. Although Shu Rusheng did not kill Yibai, he came to kill chickens and monkeys. The servants in the house all knew that Yibai was Uncle Sun's person, and they also felt that Shu Rusheng deliberately punished Yibai but didn't let her die, all to show the people in the house that she was not a soft persimmon. This is also a wake-up call to Uncle Sun, she Shu Rusheng gave him management of the trivial affairs of the palace, but it does not mean delegating power, she Shu Rusheng is still the real power hostess of the Muling Palace.

Shu Rusheng hadn't eaten much since the morning, and Mama was afraid that she would be hungry, so she went to cook bird's nest porridge. When she brought it to Shu Rusheng, she only saw her playing with the beads with her fingers, and she was still reading with a book in her hand. Mama put it in front of her table and said, "Miss, you don't eat much today, drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge." ”

Shu Rusheng stood up when he heard this, and at this time, the inner line of the bead collapsed, and the beads fell all over the ground. Mama heard the beads fall and hurried to pick them up, Shu Rusheng saw it and said, "Mama get up, don't pick them up." ”

Mama stood up, there were still a few beads in her hand, she looked at Shu Rusheng with questions and said, "This prince gave you is also your favorite jewelry." ”

Shu Rusheng smiled, but his heart was extremely cold, and said, "Don't you know today? Their gossip was about me and my cousin, and the prince didn't return home for half a month, which is enough to show that he believed these gossip. Either these beads are also dropped today, it means that..."

Before Shu Rusheng could finish speaking, Mama grabbed the words and said, "Miss, no." The slave asked Dark Fragrance to ask the prince to come back, and the rumors stopped at the wise man. ”

Shu Rusheng looked at Mama and shook her head. "It's not going to be that simple, it's just the beginning," he said. ”

Mama looked at her a little distressed, Shu Rusheng When she woke up, Mama treated her as her own daughter, and now she was so wronged, how could she bear to see how uncomfortable she was. She didn't pick up the beads again, but helped her sit down and comforted her.

Muling Palace, Shanglin.

Shu Rusheng didn't sleep all night, and only Mama knew that she didn't sleep among the servants in the house. In the morning, I was in the yard early, sitting and drinking tea, watching the servants sweeping the floor, but my face was a little tired. In the eyes of others, she is no different from usual, except that there is one less string of beads in her hand and one more jade bracelet on her wrist.

Mama knew that Shu Rusheng's unhappiness existed in her heart, and her body also deteriorated a lot with the unhappiness in her heart. She took herself up early in the morning and stewed chicken soup in front of Shu Rusheng, she put it on the table and said, "Miss, this is chicken soup, you haven't eaten and rested much these days, drink a few sips." ”

Shu Rusheng looked at this bowl of chicken soup, and knew that it had been stewed for a long time, and seeing that it was only early morning, it must have taken a lot of thought to Mama, so she nodded and drank a few sips. Dark incense was holding a kettle and watering the flowers and plants in the yard.

I didn't just hear the dark incense coming from outside, and said to Shu Rusheng, who was enjoying the flowers: "Miss, the palace has come to say that the Empress Dowager invites you to the palace." ”

Mama looked at Shu Rusheng, then at the dark fragrance, and said, "So early, why do you want to invite the young lady to the palace, can anyone say it?" ”

Dark Xiang listened to Mama's words, and couldn't answer for a while, Shu Rusheng saw that Dark Xiang was like this and knew the reason, so he said: "Okay, Mama, you help me sort out my makeup and clothes, and follow me into the palace." ”

It took a long time for Dark Incense to spit it out and said, "But..... Miss. ”

Shu Rusheng turned around and didn't go to the room, and said: "The rumors are spreading, how could the Empress Dowager not know, and even the county lord of Dunwan Jing'an has been involved in this rumor, she must come forward to solve it, whether it is true or not." ”

Dark Xiang looked at Shu Rusheng's back, and said with some concern: "Dark Xiang will go to the prince, the Queen Mother will definitely not make things difficult for Miss." ”

Shu Rusheng was just about to leave, and when he heard Dark Xiang's words, he reprimanded him a little angrily and said: "No need to go, from the day he doesn't enter the mansion, he won't count on it." Don't bother him about this, you stay in the palace honestly, if you go and tell the prince and the eldest princess again, you will go back to the princess's mansion tomorrow. ”

With that, she went into the house, and Dark Fragrance knelt down with a face full of grievances. Mama looked at her, sighed, and followed Shu Rusheng to the room.

Palace Road

Shu Rusheng changed into gorgeous clothes, and her elegant makeup couldn't cover her pale face. She didn't bring anyone else only Mama was behind her, she walked slowly to the side of An Chang Palace, this was the first time that she walked in such a desperate mood, and the breeze blew and didn't let her blink.

But before he arrived, he met Qi Anrong sitting on Fengluan in the palace road, and Mama and Shu Rusheng knelt on the side, their heads on the ground. Qi Anrong's Fengluan stopped, just in front of Shu Rusheng, she looked proud, and said: "This palace thought that it would take a long time to watch the joke, so soon you will be out of the game and become the rumored widowed princess." ”

Shu Rusheng first looked up at her full of spring breeze, but she didn't know that she was in such a bad mood now, Shu Rusheng lowered her head again and didn't speak. Qi Anrong had heard that Shu Rusheng cherished words like gold every day, and most of them hid in the palace on weekdays and did not come out.

She added: "However, this is not something you are worried about, the most worrying thing should be the rumor." This matter has reached the ears of the old man of the imperial grandmother, and the palace has just gone to ask An to see that she is in a bad mood, hmph, ask for more blessings. ”

After that, the palace man carrying Fengluan continued to carry it forward with interest. Mama saw them go away, so she helped Shu Rusheng up, took some pity on her, and said, "Miss, why don't you go to Lord Qi." ”

Shu Rusheng waved his hand and said, "Don't go to ........"

Mama was worried about her, but she couldn't do anything, only to be anxious.

Hall of Virtue

Ling Hengyi was dressed in vermilion, sitting cross-legged on the soft collapse, looking at the recital sent by the official in his hand. He never liked to be disturbed by others, so there was no one in the temple but him. It's different only today, a person doesn't know which concubine it is, and he insists on breaking in. Lin Zhenguo couldn't stop it, but the man knelt in front of Ling Hengyi and said, "The concubine knows that the king has a habit of reviewing the chapter and not making any noise unless it is a major event. The concubine has an urgent matter, and there have been rumors in the palace recently, there are rumors about Princess Mu Ling Shu Rusheng, and the Empress Dowager announced her to enter the palace today, which is set at this time, and now only the king can rescue her. ”

Ling Hengyi was originally a little angry, but after hearing her words, he immediately fell soft, sat down again, and said, "Concubine Shu, what you said is true, didn't King Mu Ling follow?" ”

That concubine was Concubine Shu, she shook her head and said: "Originally, the concubine was going to ask Concubine Jing for peace, and met the queen and the princess on the palace road, and the queen said that the queen mother was announced to the palace because of the rumor. Later, the concubine asked the palace people to go to the empress dowager to investigate, and the empress dowager was not happy today, but angry. Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't believe that rumor, King Mu Ling hasn't been back for half a month, so now you can only save her, ask the king to save her. ”

Ling Hengyi wanted to save this unexplained situation in his heart, and he endured and said, "Why, Concubine Shu, are you willing to take the risk to save her?" ”

Concubine Shu's face was about to cry anxiously, she was a little stunned in the face of Ling Hengyi's question, and said for a long time: "Because Concubine Shu just likes the princess very much, she just likes her, and Concubine Shu always thinks that her marriage to King Mu Ling is a game." ”

Ling Hengyi fidgeted, looked at Lin Zhenguo on the side, helped Concubine Shu and said, "You go to save the princess, only you can." The rumor doesn't mean that we have a private meeting on the 10th day of June, you just say that you are with you, if you want to save her, you have to do this, help her pass the imperial grandmother first. ”

Concubine Shu only nodded when she heard this, then got up and walked out.

Ling Hengyi watched her walk away and said to Lin Zhenguo: "What Concubine Shu said is true, Wang Yijun really hasn't been back for a long time?" ”

Lin Zhenguo was silent at first, and then nodded. Ling Hengyi originally held it in his hand, but immediately threw it on the ground. muttered: "Why don't you cherish her, why do you always let her be sad alone." ”
