"Your Majesty." Ruyue stubbornly refused the emperor's embrace, and Douda's tears didn't seem to stop. "The concubine didn't dare to hope anymore. The heart that has been half cold is already cold, can it be restored in an instant? With a thin and angry face, it seems to be more stunningly beautiful, and this is what Yixi Yi said about it.

Qin'er listened outside the door for a long time, and watched Pei Shuang invite the Li nobles to come, and then she reported in a gentle voice: "The emperor, Niangniang, the Li nobles are here." ”

"Let her wait outside."

"Please come in."

The emperor and Concubine Ru said these two sentences almost in unison.

Ruyue wiped the tears from her face and coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, the concubine invited the noble people to dinner together, but you kept people out all your life, don't you want my sister to blame me!" ”

"You know I didn't mean that." The emperor was a little angry, but more distressed. At this moment, he just wants to be with Ruyue quietly and coax her until she is happy. But Ruyue doesn't seem to want to give him such a chance to get back together.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold." Ruyue turned her head arrogantly, and called Qin'er coldly: "Hurry up and invite the noble Li to come in." ”

The emperor let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances gathered in his heart, and was about to say something, but Qin'er had already led the noble Li in.

The noble people knew that the emperor was here, and when they saw that the concubine's eyes were red, they knew what was going on. I still have to maintain a gentle and ignorant appearance: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed." Please say hello to the concubine, the mother is auspicious. "In fact, I have always been very strange in my heart, such as when the concubine fell out of favor for a long time, what happened to the sudden let me come to Yongshou Palace today.

Is it just to let the emperor know the difficulty and retreat? Obviously, if he doesn't come, the emperor will already take the beauty into his arms at this time. It's okay if I don't want to, and when I think about it, my cheeks itch and red. "The concubine came at an inopportune time, so she retired first."

"Sister walks slowly." Ruyue turned sideways around the emperor and walked straight towards Li Guiren. "This palace has something to say to you. What's more, it's time for the emperor to go back to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart to see the excerpts. ”

The emperor was embarrassed, but not angry. Since he barely came, he had to leave first, and then think about it slowly. "What Ruyue said is that I still have a lot of excerpts that I haven't read. Chang Yonggui swayed. "I wanted to go back and say I'll see you another day. But when the emperor turned his head, he realized that Ruyue had already pulled the noble Li to sit down.

Even kneeling down is so quick to point to stop, is it in her heart, is she so annoying! brushed his sleeves away, the indescribable sourness and grievances were just angry words. I don't feel good in my heart, this Ruyue is really loved, hated.

"When did you treat me like a concubine and be so affectionate." As soon as the emperor left, the nobles returned to their usual faces. Simply withdrew his hand from Ruyue's hand. "Didn't I think I deliberately hurt myself to humiliate you?"

Concubine Ru was not annoyed by her, but just instructed Pei Shuang: "Come in, I want to talk to Li Guiren while talking." ”

Li Guiren still did not let her guard down, she always felt that Concubine Ru's motives did not seem to be so simple. But in the past six months since Concubine Ru fell out of favor, her life has not been easy. Speaking of which, the emperor may come to Qixiang Palace from time to time, but it is very different from the original. Whenever I came, I always went to my sister's.

Previously, she had injuries on her body, and it was indeed inconvenient for her to sleep. But after that, her injuries had healed, and there was no place for her in the emperor's heart.

Seeing the hidden worries of the noble people, Ruyue smiled slightly. "I know you didn't mean to hurt yourself." Ruyue was very calm: "I only learned about it afterwards, and I didn't think so at the time." But I also know that your thinness and snarkyness are just for show. How can the nature of catkins be like this? ”

"The concubine is stupid, and she doesn't know what the concubine is talking about. If the mother has the heart to explain to the concubine, please ask the mother not to go around in circles. Li Guiren was a little weak-hearted and went around the handkerchief in his hand.

"I believe that there is no impermeable wall in the palace, and the news that the emperor intends to canonize your sister as a concubine has long since spread." Ruyue invited Ligui to come at this time, naturally hoping that she could abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Instead of being loyal to a Fujin who has nothing to do with the harem at all, it is better to listen to his own words in peace.

The emperor has a special preference for flattering nobles, which can be seen from Fang Cai's affairs. Even though the Changchun Palace pretended to be a ghost and mentioned the Li family, the emperor was still willing to leave Wanyan Sura and Li Congyun behind. This is reassuring. "But you are really smart, as soon as you enter the palace, you know how to pretend to be frivolous and hide your edge. Are you willing to be defeated? ”

Li Guiren first hooked the corners of her lips, and the pale pink lip gloss showed that she was red and pink and full of spring. After a light smile, Ligui's expression froze slightly, and after a slight pause, she smiled happily again. "It's really a blessing for a concubine to be like a concubine. But since ancient times, sisters have inevitably fought with each other when they enter the palace? I don't think so, not to mention that Niangniang can rely on her concubines today, but she may not be able to rely on others in the future.

I gave up my love for my sister, and in the end, I also wanted to have a good death. To do such a thankless job, do you just want to wear gold and silver for a while, and the power is tilted into the palace? After all, I don't know if Concubine Runiang underestimated me too much, or believed in herself too much. ”

Pursing her lips, Li Guiren smiled: "Niangniang, don't blame me for speaking straightforwardly, whether I pretend to be stupid in front of people, or pretend to be frivolous." It's just a means to protect yourself. In the harem, everyone can, and it's not just Su Su who does the best. If Niangniang is to prevent the nobles from supporting the concubines, she will inevitably support others in the future in order to restrain the concubines.

Cycle after cycle, the only thing that suffers may be your own heart. "Li Guiren twisted a peony and gently tore off a pale pink petal." Peony is actually not very delicious, and the concubine likes cheap jasmine instead. Although the flowers are small, they are fragrant and delicious. ”

Ruyue looked forward to the circulation, smiled lightly, and nodded slightly for a long time. "Yes, you don't have a word of untruth. It is rare for someone in the harem to dare to refuse this palace in person, and it is even more rare for such a life-and-death sentence to say it as calmly as you. You and Kang Guiren may not be as virtuous as Feiyan, and only one of the two sisters can be favored.

But you haven't thought about it, why is it you who is so fierce and ugly in front of people? Have you ever thought about why the emperor cared about you at first, but now he won't? Is it just because of your foot injury? ”

"What does Niangniang want to say, if it provokes the relationship between my sisters, I don't have to say it." Li Guiren only felt that she was not confident enough, and Concubine Ru knew all kinds of worries in her heart. And this concern, it seems, she never showed it.

"To tell you the truth, the imperial physician Shi Qianmo asked for peace for you before. Before you and Liu Mianmian entered the palace, they both took a lot of Dangmenzi. As a result, your bodies have been greatly damaged, and you may not be pregnant. Do you know that? "What Ruyue said is naturally the truth, and it is reasonable for Rubao's heart to be like this.

Li Guiren stood up suddenly, and said solemnly: "Why did Fu Jin do this to our two sisters? At the beginning, he said that he would send us to the palace, just to take away your grace, and to be angry for Fujin. It's also very beneficial for our sisters......"

"Not bad." Ruyue interrupted Li Guiren's words, and said unhurriedly: "First, your sisters are natural stunners, it's a pity not to enter the palace." Second, it is better to be a concubine than to be a servant girl for a lifetime and be bullied. The knot between me and Rubao has never been untied. I thought that Fujin, who would make her a good prince, was already a gift, but she really didn't repent. ”

"What grievances do you sisters have, and what do you have to do with us? Fu Jin, she keeps saying that we are above you, in order to avenge the revenge of the past. But it turned out that our sisters were also counted, and it was really vicious. "Li Guiren only felt that it was cold in his bones, and the taste was like walking on a towering single-plank bridge, and suddenly someone released a cold arrow, making you lose your balance.

Ruyue smiled helplessly, and sighed coldly: "If I tell you that your sister Liu Mianmian has suffered much less trauma than you, and she may give birth to an heir for the emperor, what would you think?" ”

"Was it deliberately arranged by Fujin? She doesn't look as good as her sister! Li Guiren couldn't say this calmly, she couldn't control the trembling of her body, and the nails of her fists sank into the flesh.

"Not really!" Ruyue motioned for her to sit down, and said slowly: "After entering the palace, your sister took detoxification drugs every day, and insisted on acupuncture and moxibustion every day to detoxify, and the toxins accumulated in the body were slowly discharged from the body, and there was no major problem for a long time.

But on the contrary, you still eat food every day, which is no different from the original, and in the long run, even if you are fortunate enough to be blessed by God, the Lin'er you give birth to is not stupid and stupid, even if it is normal, it is very likely to die due to congenital deficiency. ”

"Impossible, how is this possible." As soon as Li Guiren was excited, he trembled even more. Cold sweat trickled out, forehead, nose tip, back, palms, all of them were cold beads of sweat. "Sister, she won't hurt me like this, if she knows that there is a pawn in the food, she won't let me eat it. It's all a deception you've set up to get me.

It was you who harmed me, and it was you and Fujin who harmed me. My sister she won't, she never will! Are you done? I'm leaving, and I won't believe a word you say today, and I won't believe it. ”

Ruyue didn't stop her, nor did she let people stop her, but said softly: "Believe it or not, but if you pay attention, you can always find clues." You're a smart man, and I can't bother you. ”

Li Guiren didn't look back, but he only felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and every step was extremely difficult. If it is as the concubine said, it is really all in the middle, then ...... Where do you go from here? Without the care of her parents since she was a child, could her sister, who is dependent on each other, really be so ruthless?
