Concubine De was chanting in the Buddhist hall at this time, Rui Zhi and the others arrived, and they didn't dare to disturb, so they could only wait quietly outside, and Tuoba Lin was also sensible and waited outside without saying a word.

It wasn't until a scripture was finished that Concubine De slowly got up, and finally put three incense sticks into the incense burner in front of the Buddhist shrine, which was the end.

Aunt Ruizhi let go of Tuobalin's little hand, and Tuoba Lin ran in the direction of Concubine De with his little short legs, he was still small, but he barely grabbed the hem of Concubine De's clothes, and said softly: "Grandma Taifei-"

The milk voice was milky, and Concubine De had long known that they were staying aside, and she was not surprised, but she leaned over, pulled Tuoba Lin, and carefully looked at Tuoba Lin's little face, there was no red mark on it, and the puff was puffy, like an apple that had just ripened in autumn.

Concubine De's smiling eyes narrowed, and she said continuously: "Okay, good, okay - Lin'er misses Grandma Taifei?" ”

Tuoba Lin nodded matter-of-factly, "I thought-"

Lan Ruo stood aside, and when he heard this, he burst out laughing, and said a little coquettishly: "The eldest prince is still close to the concubine, and he has been in my courtyard for so many days, but he has not seen such liveliness." ”

She spoke cleverly, without the slightest dissatisfaction, but really genuinely joked.

Concubine De stood up, held Tuoba Lin in one hand, and said, "Lin'er is making trouble, and you have worked hard these days." ”

Lan Ruo was happy in her heart, you must know that Concubine De had never seen such a close relationship with the concubine in the harem, and she said with some trepidation for a while: "Where is the concubine, if it weren't for my lack of anger, and the sisters in the harem who can't be taught well, the eldest prince wouldn't have to-"

But she knows how to stop talking, although this is only one reason, but what is the real reason, I think she knows, Concubine De also knows, give each other a step, this matter is easily revealed.

Concubine De smiled incomprehensibly, and said again: "Seeing that the day of fasting is about to end, in fact, the mourning family knows that many people actually come to Zhaohua Temple not only to pray for blessings in Shuzhong, but, to put it mildly, it is all for the sake of our calendar, the prosperity of the royal heirs, and the prosperity of Cathay and the people." The queen, your mother is the world, and as the master of the harem, some things should be exemplary. ”

Lan Ruo's face was a little embarrassed and a little shy, as if Concubine De's words were pierced in her heart, and she nodded and said, "The concubine knows." Concubine Xie's teachings—"

Then, he chatted with Concubine De for a while before saying goodbye and going back.

But I didn't want to pass by a mountain rock, there was a faint sound of sobbing behind the mountain rock, Lan Ruo stopped, and Qiao'er glanced at each other, Lan Ruo took out a silver Luanfeng hairpin from his hair, threw it over, and said loudly: "Qiao'er, the hairpin on the palace is missing, you come to find it for the palace." ”

Qiao'er replied loudly: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

The crying behind the mountain stone stopped abruptly, Lan Ruo's eyes were slightly deep, and he walked towards the mountain stone, Qiao'er walked in front, as if he was only looking down for a hairpin, and hit his head on one's body, the man turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Lan Ruo's voice coming from behind, faintly with a bit of deterrence: "Why is Nell here?" ”

Xiao Nai saw that he had no way to escape, so he could only slow down his breath, force himself to turn around, and said, "Nell see the queen mother." ”

Qiao'er hurriedly saluted and said: "Miss Xiao, I'm sorry, the slave only thought about finding a hairpin for the queen's mother, but she didn't see Miss, she bumped into Miss, and asked Miss to punish her." ”

Xiao Nai was upset, waved his hand and said, "It's okay-"

Qiao'er looked up at Lan Ruo, Lan Ruo nodded slightly, and Qiao'er said: "Niangniang, this hairpin is stained with mud, and the slave maid will take it back and clean it up first." ”

After getting Lan Ruo's consent, he left quickly, seeing that there was no one around, Lan Ruo put down his dignified demeanor, put on a kind smile, took two steps forward and took Xiao Nai's hand and said: "Nair, what's the matter, why are you crying here?" Look at it, these hands are cold, and the main palace is really distressed to see. ”

Xiao Nai listened to Lan Ruo's words, only to feel a warm current flowing through her heart, and her sad emotions grew more and more crazy, her tears couldn't stop falling, and her voice choked up: "Queen Mother-Nell-Nell-"

As he was talking, Xiao Nai suddenly knelt on his knees and made a big salute: "Nell, please ask the queen mother to help Nell-"

Lan Ruo hurriedly helped Xiao Nai up, and said softly: "Look at you, there are no others in this place, how can you make such a big gift at every turn, what happened, you can tell me, if this palace can help, this palace will definitely help you." ”

With the queen's promise, Xiao Nai's eyes burst with strong joy, but she didn't see Lan Ruo's calculation and coldness hidden in her eyes.

"Naier, I want to ask the queen to make an order to let the imperial doctor in the palace go to Shuzhong-" Xiao Nai opened his mouth and said.

Lan Ruo frowned, took Xiao Nai's hand, and let go little by little, she said in a deep voice: "Nai'er, this palace knows, you are worried about His Royal Highness King Xian, but this matter is not a child's play, His Majesty's will, no one can enter and leave Shu at will, although the life of His Royal Highness King Xian is very important, but the lives of thousands of dawn people in the world are more important, if the epidemic is brought out, at that time, it will not be the matter of the entire Shuzhong, it will be the matter of the entire calendar." ”

Lan Ruo's expression was serious, but Xiao Nai kept shaking his head and said: "No, Queen Mother, as long as Brother Yue is rescued, the others—the others—will stay in Shuzhong—"

All she wants is for Tuoba Yue to come back, as for the life and death of those people in Shu, what does it have to do with herself?

Lan Ruo looked at Xiao Nai, with exploration and scrutiny in his eyes, Xiao Nai grabbed the hem of Lan Ruo's clothes, as if he had caught the last straw.

Suddenly, Lan Ruo's eyes turned slightly, and said: "Although I can't help you, but you and I are both women, this palace understands your feelings, this palace can show you a clear way, maybe it can save His Royal Highness King Xian." ”

Lan Ruo's voice was low with a sense of demagogy, Xiao Nai had already lost the six gods, otherwise he would not have hid here and cried, and he would not have begged the queen.

At the beginning, she still believed in He Xi, but now that He Xi was sent back to the palace, her own people couldn't find any news of He Xi, as if the world had evaporated, how could she not be in a hurry.

Now that she heard that Lan Ruo had a way, a fire of hope ignited in her eyes, and she asked, "Queen Mother, please speak." As long as she can save Brother Yue, she is willing to do whatever she wants. ”

Lan Ruo smiled lightly and said, "Silly sister, you and I are both women, what can we do?" Don't we want to go to Shuzhong in person to rescue people? It's just that just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't-"

Lan Ruo stretched out her voice, leaned over and said a name in Xiao Nai's ear, Xiao Nai's still happy expression froze suddenly, the corners of her lips were still curved, but the smile in her eyes retreated like a tide, looking very weird.

Lan Ruo said with concern: "This is you, and it is also the last chance for His Royal Highness King Xian, Your Majesty cares about all the people, and at this time you can only choose to destroy your relatives with righteousness, but if you also choose, then His Royal Highness King Xian really has no way to live." ”

Xiao Nai opened her mouth and said: "What does the queen mean, Naier doesn't understand, although the Xiao family is a prominent family in southern Xinjiang, but it is only a little more prosperous than ordinary people, as for the guards, soldiers and horses that Niang Niang said, Naier dare not admit it." ”

It seems that he has been struggling in his heart for a long time, and Xiao Nai said.

Lan Ruo didn't care, just held his sleeve and said: "This palace is also thinking of the friendship of the first emperor, after all, Your Majesty now only has His Royal Highness Xianwang, if something happens to His Royal Highness Xianwang, then His Majesty has really become a lonely person, this palace feels sorry for Your Majesty, you feel sorry for His Royal Highness Xianwang, our starting point is the same." ”

Xiao Nai looked at Lan Ruo in disbelief, and happened to see the crystal in the corner of Lan Ruo's eyes, and Lan Ruo seemed to be aware of his gaffe. Hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, the palace is also a little tired, so go back and rest first." Some things are personal fate, and they are also destined by God, so Nell should not force them. ”

After speaking, she turned around and left, the tassels on the hairpin, with the action of her turning, collided and entangled, making a small sound, as if it was Xiao Nai's state of mind at this time, chaotic.

After sitting beside the mountain rock for a long time, Xiao Nai seemed to have made up her mind, got up and went back to the yard, the maid next to her saw Xiao Nai come back with red eyes, and just wanted to come forward to ask a few words, but heard Xiao Nai say in a hurry: "Pack up your things, let's go-"

The maid was stunned and busy: "But the fast is not over yet, and the young lady is leaving now, isn't it-"

"When will you teach me how to do it? The queen mother naturally has me to inform you and do your part. Xiao Nai said coldly.

The servant girl shrank for a moment, quickly accepted the following words, and got up to sort out the package.

When Lan Ruo received the news, he was using fasting, Qiao'er was lightly giving Lan Ruobu vegetables on the side, the eldest prince has been in the queen's courtyard for the past few days, as if it had not been so quiet for a long time, and suddenly a waiter ran in from outside the door and said: "Queen Mother, the little one has something important to return." ”

Lan Ruo picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, then put down the silver in his hand and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it-"

The chamberlain was a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "Just now, Miss Xiao Nai sent someone to say that there is an urgent matter in the house, and she can't wait until the end of the fast, so she has already gone back, and if she has a chance in the future, she will come to the queen to ask for her guilt." ”
