"What does the emperor think the concubine wants to do?" Kou Shu raised her head and looked at Song Jinyan in front of her.

Song Jinyan turned his head away, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the ripples and mandarin ducks standing with their heads bowed on the side, and said as if he was nothing: "Queen, next to you, what about the one named Yuan Yun?" If I don't remember, he also has an older brother named Yuan Ming, who doesn't seem to have seen it these days? ”

Kou Shu was stunned, she was caught off guard, don't look over: "Yuan Yun and Yuan Ming were originally a pair of brothers and sisters, and they have something at home these days, so they went home to visit relatives." ”

"Oh?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "Aren't Kou Mang all orphans, how can they still have relatives?" The queen wasn't joking with me, was she? ”

Kou Shu trembled suddenly, and then turned around, only to see Song Jinyan looking at herself faintly, with a little more warning in her eyes: "Queen, do what you should do as a queen, as for other things, don't get involved casually, I will naturally accept your affection." ”

After that, Song Jinyan raised his feet, leaving only a back for Kou Shu.

"Niangniang-" Behind Kou Shu, the mandarin duck spoke with some concern.

"Yuan Ming and Yuan Yun still have no news?" Kou Shu frowned, looked at the direction Song Jinyan left, and spoke. Song Jinyan's words just now, I don't know why, made Kou Shu feel particularly uneasy.

"Nope. The slave and maid had sent twelve letters in succession, but none of them had been answered. The mandarin duck came back from the side.

With a long sigh, Kou Shu turned around and went back to Changle Palace.

Early the next morning, Rong Guiren went to Changle Palace early to wait for Kou Shu, but this time he didn't break into the dormitory directly, and waited honestly on the main hall.

Kou Shu changed her clothes, quietly looked at the Rong Guiren who raised her feet and entered the door in front of her, and there was a little more question in her eyes: "Rong Guiren, what you said that day has not been finished yet, and the palace is still waiting." ”

The Rong nobleman on the side took a deep breath, looked up at Kou Shu and said, "Queen Mother, we didn't say that at the beginning. ”

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows: "Rong Guiren, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Queen Mother, I want you to help me keep the secret of my fake pregnancy," Rong Guiren raised his head, and there seemed to be dissatisfaction in his eyes: "But you let the whole palace know the news of my fake pregnancy." Now that the whole palace knows that I am not pregnant at all, I am almost a laughing stock. ”

The implication is that Rong Guiren is dissatisfied with Kou Shu not giving him enough protection.

Kou Shu raised her head coldly, and looked coldly at the person standing in front of her, only to see that the Rong nobles in front of her were wearing a dark flower filament pleated satin skirt, half draped in a satin embroidered robe, and a pair of jasper Qibao exquisite hairpins on her head, even if the favor in front of the emperor is not as good as before, the Rong nobles' current dressing is definitely more than the grade that a noble person should have.

"Rong Guiren," glanced up and down at Rong Guiren, and Kou Shu's voice said coldly: "What calculations are you making in your heart, this palace is very clear." It's just that this palace advises you, you have to learn to accept it when you see it, you think that the emperor and the queen mother are really blind and deaf, if it weren't for this palace, you would have been in vain for the dignity of the royal family, and now you don't know how far it has fallen, do you really want to keep pretending to be pregnant, where to find a child to defile the royal blood? ”

Rong Guiren don't look around: "This doesn't have to worry about the queen's mother, it's just that the agreement between the concubine and the queen's mother that day was that the queen's mother kept this secret for the concubine, and I exchanged the truth of General Kou's death, and now since the queen didn't keep this secret for the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say." ”

"Really?" Kou Shu slowly took a sip of tea into her mouth: "In this case, why did Rong Guiren come to my Changle Palace early in the morning, didn't Rong Guiren want to come and taste the breakfast of my Changle Palace?" ”

Rong Guiren's face turned pale.

In fact, as early as when he just returned to his palace, he was secretly stumbled by several other concubines such as Qing nobles, without the protection of the emperor, it was very difficult for him to struggle, although the emperor was okay with himself, but it is conceivable that if he didn't do something, I am afraid that the future will be more and more difficult.

Thinking of this, Rong Guiren only felt like sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't sleep for a moment. came to Kou Shu's Changle Palace early.

"If the queen really wants to know the truth of the matter, there is nothing wrong with it." Rong Guiren thought for a while and said, "There is just one thing, I hope the queen mother will agree." ”

"Rong Guiren," Kou Shu's voice was as cold as ice, and in such a snowy winter day, it made people feel that the hairs were upside down: "This palace hopes that you understand that now it is not the palace that asks for you, but you have a request for the palace, since this is the case, you had better show the attitude of asking for people." ”

"Niangniang-" Rong Guiren was dissatisfied and wanted to speak.

"How did Daddy die, Bengong really wants to know," Kou Shu said: "But since the person is dead, the truth is actually not so important to the palace, if the Rong nobles are willing, the palace can sell a favor, but if the Rong nobles use this again and again to blackmail the palace, then don't blame the palace for turning its face and being ruthless." ”

Kou Shu looked straight at the noble man in front of her, and there was a little more coldness in her eyes.

Rong Guiren shuddered suddenly, only to realize that he was afraid that he was really thinking about things too simply. After thinking about it for a while, he stepped forward, and the arrogant look on his face was also a little less, and he was replaced with a more humble look: "Niangniang, it is the concubine who is disrespectful, and I hope that Niangniang Haihan." ”

After Rong Guiren left, Kou Shu's eyes had a complicated look.

"Mandarin ducks—" Kou Shu began.

"Mother." The mandarin duck pushed the door in, looking like he was obeying orders.

"Do you still remember, Concubine Shu once said that in the palace, the identity of the person from Lanling Kingdom was discovered, and you and I have probed several times, but we have not found out who the person behind it is?"

The mandarin duck nodded: "The slave remembers." ”

Kou Shu nodded and continued: "Rong Guiren said that Lan Ruoxuan is the princess of Lanling Kingdom. ”

"Princess?" The mandarin duck raised his head: "But hasn't the Lanling Kingdom been destroyed a long time ago?" ”

"Yes," Kou Shu nodded: "And more importantly, if this palace is not mistaken, the Lanling Kingdom was wiped out by my father and General Su, do you remember, Su Jingzhi who died tragically?" ”

The mandarin duck hung his head, only to feel that things sounded more and more confused.

Kou Shu raised her head and looked into the distance in a daze, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes. If what Rong Guiren said today is true, then he really can't sit still.
