Chapter 172: Secret (9)

Li Zheng stood beside Ruan Linluo, very close to her, and when he heard that she blamed herself for the responsibility, he couldn't help frowning slightly, took two steps forward, gently put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, it is not the concubine who has something to do today, otherwise, I will definitely be reluctant." ”

His plain words, but Ruan Linluo's heart couldn't help but shudder.

Reluctant...... It's just reluctant.

She was quiet for a moment, and then shook her head secretly, she had nothing to hope for in his heart.

Ruan Linluo's hands were twisted together uneasily, hearing him say such things, he couldn't say what it felt like in his heart, so he just turned his face away, deliberately not looking at his face, but he couldn't stop the tears rolling down his face.

Li Zheng's face was still as cold as ever, without the slightest warmth, and he only said, "Don't cry." With that, he reached over and tried to lift her chin so that she could look directly into his face.

Who knows, his palm opened, and a crystal tear fell directly into his palm.

Li Zheng's movements paused slightly, then changed his mind, reached out and took her into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Do you care so much about that person?" ”

Although Ruan Linluo was not in the mood to be close to him now, the whole person was still close to Li Zheng's chest, and said in a slow tone: "This palace used to go back to Dezhou Province to play and talk with my sister-in-law all day long. Although she is only a relative of the concubine, she is very close to the concubine, and when she stays with her, the concubine only feels closer than her own sisters......"

Ruan Linluo said these words softly, her body trembled slightly, and the longer she waited, the more uneasy her heart became.

Now, although Shen Yuechen has no worries about his life, he is also unpredictable, and he doesn't know when he will wake up......

Li Zheng looked at her sad and guilty appearance, for some reason, those memories that had been hidden in his heart were also slightly touched, he wrapped his arm around Ruan Linluo's long hair, and his slender fingers slowly stroked her soft cheeks, "I have put Guo Meiren on death row, you can dispose of it yourself, just don't make too much trouble and make it difficult for me." ”

For him, this is the greatest and most decent comfort he can give her.

Ruan Linluo had been waiting for his words in her heart, she took the initiative to hold his hand back, but unfortunately, his palm was too big for her to hold, so she could only hold his two fingers tightly and said word by word: "The emperor is wise, this palace will never let her go!" An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this palace will not be soft. ”

For the first time in her life, she felt the breath of death, so close to her. And the source of this fear comes from all sides of this palace. Guo Meiren is not the only one who wants to harm her, in those places where there is no distinction between light and dark, I don't know how many people are standing behind her, with evil intentions, hiding sharp weapons, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

At this time in the Ruan family, Zhu Jintang slowly calmed himself down after the initial shock and stunned, and he quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

The poisoning of Shen Yuechen undoubtedly made him heartache and entanglement, if he could, he would like to enter the palace immediately and see her current situation with his own eyes. However, according to his identity, let alone entering the palace,

Although several hours have passed, the Ruan family still has lingering fears about the poisoning, and for Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen, they are still guilty.

According to Zhu Jintang's meaning, they have not yet reported to the Shen family. Zhu Yuanlan said that after dawn, she would ask for orders to enter the palace again to see how Shen Yuechen's child was doing.

Although, such a thing can't be hidden for long if you want to. However, it is still necessary to wait until there is a quasi-letter to let the Shen family know.

Zhu Yuanlan saw that Zhu Jintang was always worried, silent, and felt quite sorry not to go, even if he was tired, he didn't want to go back to the house to rest, he just wanted to accompany him through this heart-wrenching night.

This will be the same as them, as well as Wu Ma and Chun Ming Cui Xin, because the Ruan family has a special maid, so this time there is no need for them to keep vigil in the house, but the three of them still have no sleep, Wu Ma wiped her tears in the window alone, and Chun Ming and Cui Xin held hands to give each other a little comfort.

Zhu Jintang sat for most of the night, the rice was not sticky, the water did not enter, and every once in a while, the maid came over with a tea tray to deliver tea and snacks, but he didn't look at it, and he didn't move a mouthful.

Hot tea becomes cold tea, and new tea becomes old tea. The maid who delivered the tea came over and over again, walked in lightly, and withdrew lightly.

Zhu Yuanlan was so distressed when she saw him staying up like this, she personally brought tea from the maid, sent it to him, and said bitterly: "It's about to dawn, you haven't eaten anything all night, let's drink tea to refresh yourself." ”

He could only reach out and take the tea handed over by his aunt, but he just took a sip, but he felt extremely bitter.

Tea is good tea, but his heart is bitter, and everything he will drink is bitter.

For the first time in his life, he knew what it meant to live like a year, and he unconsciously regretted it.

If they knew so, they might as well not come! It's better to stay in Texas honestly! It's a pity that there has never been an if in this world, and now, even though he is anxious, he can't use any strength, so he can only sit here and wait, wait, wait, wait.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Zhu Yuanlan went back to the house to change her clothes and prepared to enter the palace again to meet her.

Zhu Jintang personally sent her out of the door, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, no matter whether the matter is good or bad, please send someone back in time." ”

Zhu Yuanlan nodded heavily: "I will, you are at home and waiting for my news." ”

The imperial doctors were busy in Nanyuan all night, and finally pulled Shen Yuechen back from the door of death. It's just that oleander is cold poison, and Shen Yuechen has a cold physique, so it is really not easy to remove all the residual poison in the body and recover as before.

Ruan Linluo didn't want to listen to the long words of the imperial doctors, and asked bluntly: "When will Mrs. Zhu wake up?" ”

Imperial Physician Wang bowed down and said, "According to Mrs. Zhu's situation, she will be able to wake up in two days at most." It's just that the cold poison in her body is not clear for a day, and it will be blocked by blood congestion, and the qi and blood will be blocked, and even if she wakes up, her body will be much weaker than before, her hands and feet will be weak and numb, and she needs to stay in bed for a long time. ”

Ruan Linluo's eyebrows were furrowed, and she said suspiciously: "Mrs. Zhu is the same age as this palace, and she should recover quickly." Right? ”

Imperial Physician Wang shook his head slightly: "Back to Niangniang, Niangniang's daughter is precious and has sufficient vitality." Mrs. Zhu's physique...... Cold...... Naturally, it can't be compared with Niangniang...... However, the mother can rest assured that Mrs. Zhu is now free of worries about her life, and she can rest assured that she can be taken out of the palace and recuperate with peace of mind. Wei Chen, Imperial Physician Chen, and Imperial Physician Liu studied and prescribed two prescriptions together, as long as they take the medicine on time according to the prescription, and then, combined with acupuncture and moxibustion to detoxify, they will soon be able to see the results. ”

In order to protect oneself, some things are not easy to say, and it is better to avoid the important and trivial.

Ruan Linluo saw that what he said was the truth, and said with a serious expression: "Imperial Doctor Wang, this palace trusts you, so I can take care of Mrs. Zhu, you must not let this palace down." ”

Although Imperial Physician Wang had a spectrum in his heart, he also felt a little embarrassed, but he could only respond: "Yes, Weichen obeys." ”

After Zhu Yuanlan entered the palace, Mama Tang personally sent her to Nanyuan to meet and talk to Concubine Jing.

learned that Shen Yuechen no longer had to worry about his life and could be taken out of the palace to recuperate. Zhu Yuanlan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Ruan Linluo to send the little eunuch around her out of the palace to Ruan's house to spread the word.

"Your cousin didn't sleep all night last night, and his eyes were red. He knew that if Yuechen was fine, he would be able to feel at ease. ”

Ruan Linluo was really unhappy, and bowed her head slightly and said, "This time, it was my sister-in-law who blocked the disaster for the palace." If it was the first tea to be drunk by the main palace at that time, then ......"

If she had drunk it first, she would have been the one lying on the bed now. Once she falls, the situation of the Ruan family will not be good.

Zhu Yuanlan nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Niangniang." The concubine will not let the child suffer any more. "She was inadvertently able to block a difficult situation for her daughter, which is fate and a favor.

Ruan Linluo said again: "The carriage out of the palace, Mama Tang will prepare, and my mother will take a little more effort, and go back to the palace to make amends to my cousin." This time, it's all because of the ...... of the main palace."

Zhu Yuanlan said: "It's okay now, Niangniang really doesn't have to blame herself." All the mistakes are the fault of those who have evil intentions! ”

Guo Meiren, who was poisoned, is still being detained, and Ruan Linluo has her own plans.

"This time, this palace will not give up. Not only not for my sister-in-law, but also for Hongu herself. ”

Zhu Yuanlan knew very well in her heart that it was time for her daughter to stand up, and at the moment, Guo Meiren was the best target.

Ruan Linluo personally sent someone to send Shen Yuechen and Zhu Yuanlan out of the palace, and asked Mama Tang to follow her all the way back, while she herself took two palace maids and two eunuchs and went to the cell of the torture department where Guo Meiren was detained without evasion.

The place of the Torture Division is the real Shura Hell for the people in the palace. Whether it is a master or a minion, once inside, it is not easy to come out intact.

Guo Meiren was imprisoned, but it was only one night, and she couldn't bear it anymore. Because she confessed early, she didn't have to be punished, but although she was not punished, just hearing the screams in the cell next to her had already made her whole person completely collapse and hopeless.

Ruan Linluo walked to the door of the Torture Division when she was persuaded to stop by Chen Tai, who came in a hurry.

"Mother, how can you enter such a filthy place yourself? What if you come across something dirty? Moreover, that Guo Meiren has always been arrogant, in case she talks nonsense and collides with Niangniang......"

Ruan Linluo slowly stretched out her hand and gently put it on Chen Tai's arm, carefully examining her newly modified nails.

"Gonggong Chen, don't worry, since you are here, just accompany the palace. After going back, it will be good for the emperor to feel at ease. ”

Ruan Linluo will not be afraid of anything, but should be afraid of those who harm others.

When Guo Meiren was imprisoned, she was still wearing ordinary clothes and was gorgeous, but in the morning, she had become disheveled and unkempt.

The cell was cold and damp, dark and dark, and there was a musty, rancid stench everywhere.

As soon as Ruan Linluo walked in, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, while Chen Tai almost didn't vomit. He just greedily ate a lot of roast goose meat, which was left by the emperor, but now it made his stomach even more uncomfortable, and even his face turned white.

In front of the master, the slave must not do anything rude, not to mention that this will be the time of sensitivity.

Chen Tai cautiously helped Ruan Linluo to walk forward, and said softly: "Niangniang, be careful, the rats here are notoriously big, I don't know when they will pop out......"

He deliberately exaggerated, but in fact, he wanted Ruan Linluo to retreat. It's a pity that instead of being afraid, she walked faster, and she had a little bit of a plan in her heart.

As soon as she heard Gonggong Chen's voice, she immediately rushed to the edge of the door, shouting and shouting: "Chen Tai, Chen Tai, let the palace go out, the palace is going out!" ”

In front of Ruan Linluo, Chen Tai naturally ignored Guo Meiren's words, and only said: "Concubine Jing has arrived, Guo Meiren, you still don't kneel and salute." ”

When Guo Meiren saw Ruan Linluo, a light and dark expression appeared on her somewhat messy face, and then she sneered softly: "Who should this palace be?" It turned out that Concubine Jing was here. ”

Now, although Guo Meiren has been imprisoned, she has not been punished, so her position and name are still there for the time being, so even if she is in a prison cell, she dares to call herself the palace.

Ruan Linluo looked Guo Meiren up and down, shook her head and said, "I haven't seen each other all night, and my sister has ended up like this...... Alas! If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, so why bother, sister? ”

Guo Meiren thought that she would face herself angrily, but who knows, she actually stood opposite with a smile, not impatient or impatient, and sneered at herself.

"Why bother? Ruan Linluo, don't think that you are the imperial concubine and it is amazing. This time you are lucky, and you have a cushion to suffer for you, but next time you may not have such good luck! This palace doesn't believe that you can have good luck for the rest of your life. ”

Ruan Linluo's eyes flashed, "This palace is a blessing or a curse, so naturally you don't have to worry about my sister." Sister should worry about herself, in the future, how to spend a long life here. ”

As soon as Ruan Linluoda walked into this dirty place, she had a plan in her heart, rather than letting Guo Meiren apologize for her sins with death, it was better to let her stay in this place all the time and suffer the crime, which was happy.

Guo Meiren still sneered, raised a pair of eyes with endless resentment and looked at her quietly, gritted her teeth and said: "Ruan Linluo, don't be too arrogant, you are lucky now, that's why the crow will become a phoenix." But once your luck runs out, you will be unlucky, and the peacock is not as good as the chicken. ”

Chen Tai saw that the more she talked, the more he went too far, and hurriedly said: "Bold, someone is here to give her a slap." ”

The guards of the Torture Department were all ruthless and vicious, and immediately unlocked and walked into the cell, grabbed Guo Meiren's neck, and slapped her heavily in front of everyone.

Guo Meiren has always been squeamish, and she was born with fine skin and tender meat, where can she withstand such a heavy slap. After only two blows, the corners of her mouth were broken, and blood flowed.

Ruan Linluo was watching, and suddenly felt something hurriedly slipping by at her feet, a black and gray shadow, very terrifying.

Ruan Linluo was slightly startled, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be a huge mouse.

Chen Tai was also taken aback, and patted his chest again and again: "Oh, be careful." It's the first time in his life that the minion has seen such a big mouse. ”

Ruan Linluo held back the nausea in her heart, raised her hand to signal the guards to stop, and instructed Chen Taidao: "Father-in-law Chen, Guo Meiren is the one who has served the emperor. Now although I have made mistakes, I will not sin unto death......"

Chen Tai saw that she had something to say, so he just stood behind her with his hands down, bowing his head slightly, not daring to look at the expression on her face at the moment, figuring out what she was thinking, and just said what he should say: "Niangniang, the emperor said, everything is subject to Niangniang's arrangement." ”

Ruan Linluo pretended to be contemptuous and said: "This palace sees that the environment here is good, so it's better to let my sister live here permanently." ”

Death is the easiest thing to do, as soon as the neck is horizontal and the body sinks, it will be a hundred. Shen Yuechen suffered so much because she had suffered so much. Therefore, she also has to suffer some hardships.

When Chen Tai heard this, he immediately understood what Ruan Linluo meant, it was nothing more than wanting Guo Meiren to suffer alive.

"From now on, this is my sister's new dormitory. But here, it's empty, and there is not even a servant to serve, so it's really deserted. Why don't you catch two more mice and give them to your sister as companions. ”

When Chen Tai heard this, he was first surprised, and then he understood and said: "What Niangniang said is very true. The minions heard that the rats in the Torture Department are all human, and they can just be Guo Meiren's companions! ”

As soon as his words fell, the little eunuch behind him echoed again: "Cannibalism is naturally human." The minions are going to catch them now. ”

Ruan Linluo glanced at Guo Meiren on the ground, and said with a smile: "I don't have much to do in this palace, so I don't have much to do with my sister, so enjoy it here." ”

Guo Meiren hummed and chirped behind and wanted to resist back, but unfortunately, she was covered in the next second.

Ruan Linluo walked outside, first took a deep breath, then looked at Chen Tai beside him, and said softly: "This palace doesn't want her to die like this, remember to send someone to watch her." ”

Chen Tai nodded understandingly: "Don't worry, the slave knows the measure." ”

Now, Concubine Jing is favored, and even the emperor likes to please her everywhere. He, who is a slave, doesn't mean to show it, but he can't.

He has been in the palace for so long, and he has seen a lot of things that should be seen and should not be seen. Anyone can do things that bully people, not to mention that in a place like the Torture Division, there is no need to say anything, and someone will take care of her thoroughly.

Whoever Concubine Jing hates is who the emperor hates. Chen Tai deliberately took a slow step, first sent Ruan Linluo away, and then turned back to the Torture Department, explained carefully, and told them to take extra "care" of Guo Meiren.
