"I'm afraid it's not that optimistic." Ruyue thought for a while, and said to Le Xi'er: "You take the token of our Yongshou Palace and show it to the servants in charge of the Shen Penal Division, just tell the heart of the palace, and let them let Xi'er come back immediately." Then I asked the imperial doctor to come and treat the attacker, but I just said that her blood stasis was not cleared and her mind was blocked.

Peishuang, you personally took the shocking medicinal herbs and the pair of jade ruyi newly rewarded by the emperor to the queen's place to make amends. I beg for the understanding of the queen even if I lower my profile. ”

If you want to prove that the raider did not mean it, you must first correct your attitude. If you ignore it, or give the villain a chance to slander, I'm afraid that this matter will become more and more difficult. What the queen wants is just face, Ruyue had to tell Pei Shuangdao: "The stakes are very high, it is related to the life of Xi'er and the comfort of our Yongshou Palace, no matter how ugly the queen says, you have to endure it." ”

Pei Shuang usually spoke openly, but he also understood the seriousness of this matter in his heart, so he said: "Miss, don't worry, the slave will never dare to contradict the queen." Whatever she said, the slave would listen respectfully. ”

"Go ahead and do it." Ruyue frowned, bent on saving her life. But it was Qin'er who rushed back and pushed the door in: "Niangniang, don't worry, Aunt Xi'er is saved." ”

These words were like a rare ray of warm sunshine in winter, and everyone suddenly smiled. "What's going on?" Ruyue asked tightly.

"Fang Cai slave went to the Shen Criminal Division to inquire about the situation and met Chang Gonggong. Chang Gong was just to bring the emperor's will and ordered the Shen Criminal Division to release Aunt Xi'er. I just said that I saw my aunt in our palace a few days ago, and my aunt spoke upside down at that time, which was very strange. At this time, Father-in-law Chang has already instructed the imperial doctor to treat Aunt Xi'er, and once it is confirmed that the aunt is caused by her illness, he will send people back to our Yongshou Palace. ”

Ruyue breathed a long sigh of relief, but she didn't feel optimistic in her heart. Xi'er should not have any illness, and the reason why Zimin was killed was nothing more than the reason why the previous concubine fell out of favor. She must have made this decision because she wanted to keep the reputation of the person she respected.

But who else can make Xi'er work so hard, I'm afraid that apart from himself, there is only the first queen.

Could it really be the work of the former queen? Ruyue's heart hurt a little, and she only said: "Where is the queen still going, now the situation in the harem is unclear, and one more enemy will undoubtedly make us more dangerous." Qin'er, Peishuang, you just go this way, you have done enough work on face, and you can go down the steps if you want to come to the queen. ”

The two responded in unison, and then they retreated uneasily.

"Le Xi'er, you go to guard outside the door of the Punishment Division, once they release Xi'er, bring me back immediately, don't delay." Ruyue is not worried that Xi'er will end it on her own in order not to involve herself.

After all, Zimin is dead, and no one in the harem knows about it anymore, so she also has the face to go down and give an account to the first queen.

Seeing that Concubine Ru's face was unusual, Le Xi'er didn't dare to delay: "The slave will go now." ”

Ruyue's lips trembled a few times, but she still spoke: "Don't let Xi'er do stupid things, you must bring people back to me alive." ”

"Yes." Le Xi'er only felt that the cold wind was blowing in the back of her backbone, and she jumped out of the bedroom like a fly.

The palace maid who closed the door was already moving very quickly, but Ruyue still felt that her body was blown by the cold wind. A heart swaying from side to side is not at all at ease.

But there was a small palace maid who served hot tea in a timely manner, and Ruyue took it and held it in the palm of her hand, and immediately felt much more comfortable. When I opened the cup again, I saw a clear cup of hot water, and there was no tea in half. Naturally, she glanced back at the little palace maid who presented her hot tea and asked, "What's your name, why haven't you seen it before?" Why is this tea a cup of clear water, and there is no tea foam? ”

The little palace maid bent her knees slightly, and she was very polite: "If you return to the concubine Niangniang, the slave Jing'er is the heart to come to the Yongshou Palace to serve." When I was young, I heard the old people say that it is not appropriate to drink tea during the confinement, so I made my own decision and gave you a cup of hot water. ”

"Hmm." Ruyue saw that she was finally handsome, but she was wearing coarse clothes, and couldn't help but say: "The lower courtyard is all hard work, it's difficult for a clever girl like you." There is a shortage of a girl who serves tea around the palace, so let's come to the upper courtyard to serve in the future. ”

When Jing'er heard this, she couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for being like a concubine, the slave must be her duty and live up to her mother's wrong love." ”

"Go ahead." Ruyue smiled and waved her hand, the hot water in her hand made her fingertips soften. But he didn't drink it, only stared at this glass of clear water.

It wasn't until Le Xi'er brought Xi'er back that her heart settled down a little.

"You all go out." As soon as the concubine gave an order, the palace people in the inner bed knelt down together and retreated quietly.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Xi'er slowed down and knelt down: "The slave is guilty, please punish the mother." ”

"I really thought my aunt was sick. But I don't want to get sick. Ruyue saw Xi'er like this, and she already knew that she guessed correctly. The cold heart is intertwined with the feelings of disbelief, which makes Ruyue upset. "If my aunt really wants to kill people, the next thing to deal with is not yourself."

"Niangniang, what do you say......" Xian'er was startled, and couldn't help but look at Shang Ruyue's scrutinizing gaze. The slave and maid did not understand. Stubbornly biting his lip, what Xi'er didn't want to admit was not his own heart, but the dark things that the former queen was not enough for outsiders.

"Zi Min is so innocent, in fact, she doesn't know anything except how Concubine Ding fell out of favor back then. She can tell you nothing more than hope that this injustice will not be put to rest for a long time. It didn't mean to help me at the beginning. But you don't believe it, you don't believe that she doesn't know anything, and you'd rather her die than leave her a way to live.

If she really knew the inside story and really wanted to ruin the reputation of the former queen, then she should have stood up and told the queen about this matter, but she didn't make it clear to you secretly. It was in vain that she trusted you, but you took her life with your own hands. Ruyue said word by word, and said it extra hard.

Like a sharp blade of a sword, cutting back and forth on the heart of the attacker.

"For the sake of the first queen, the slave maid can't help but take risks." Xi'er is righteous and strict, but he is remorseful but refuses to admit his mistake. "What's more, the slave and maid have already thought of the best way, as long as the slave and maid are dead, no one will pursue this matter anymore. Yongshou Palace is safe and sound, and the slave maid herself finally gave Zimin an explanation, didn't she? If the mother takes pity on the slave and the maid, and sees that the slave and the maid have supported her over the years, she will repay this wish. ”

"But I've got an insight, aren't you afraid I'll tell you about it?" Ruyue's expression was serious, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't mean to joke. "Didn't I say that the next person to kill is not yourself, but me."

"Niangniang, don't say it, the slave doesn't want to hear it. The first queen treated you well, why do you need to take revenge like this? Xi'er covered his ears and shook his head vigorously. This matter was arranged by the slave and maid seamlessly, and no one except you, Niangniang, knew that the slave and maid were pretending to be crazy. Let this secret rest with the slave and maid themselves. Please, sis. ”

"I did think so." Ruyue closed her eyes sadly: "It's not that I don't want to help you." But there's really nothing I can do to help you. Concubine Ding killed Luan'er, and I had to recover this blood debt. But it was the first queen's thought that made the concubine lose her grace, drank the blood of her young son, and failed to get a man.

These nonsense are probably arranged by the queen early in the morning! If the concubine wants to be investigated, even if you die, will no one really know? People are doing it, the sky is watching, and there are many things we can't do, do you understand? ”

Xi'er bowed his head silently, as if he had a decision: "Then, before the slave and maid die, do one more thing for the mother, this matter is done, you must keep the secret for the slave and maid!" ”

"You want to kill the concubine?" Ruyue sneered: "In vain, I thought you were a smart person, and it was in vain that I thought you were a bosom friend, but it turned out that you were just blinded by hatred and only knew the stupid and loyal fool." Do you think it's really that easy to die? Or do you think that if you kill Ding Concubine, everything will be considered a hundred?

I never wanted to take her life, I wanted her to kneel on the Jinluan Palace, and admit in person that she killed my daughter, and she killed my Luan'er, do you understand? ”

Xi'er was shocked by Ruyue's series of questions, and she didn't know what to say for a while. But all she can do is kill people and stop these dirty and ugly things from being exposed to the sun.

"Like a concubine, the first queen was kind and did such a wrong thing. Because of this, she has been sleeping restlessly all the year round, and she is often awakened from her dreams by the innocent child who died, the child who was condemned to drink blood. Is it because we were wrong once that we have to live in pain, and we will not be at peace even after death?

The emperor treats the first queen, there has never been a deep love for flounder, let alone a frounder with each other, the only thing left is this respect, are you really ruthless. Don't you even want to leave this last bit of dignity to her? ”
