The emperor looked at Concubine Hui and was a little indifferent: "Okay." I have already disposed of Wang Qin, and you don't have to cry. Let's go back to the palace first. ”

Concubine Hui was full of grievances and wanted to say something more, but the emperor just said in such an indifferent and detached tone, waving his hand and saying, "I will go to see you again, you go back." ”

Concubine Hui had no choice but to retire. Ruyi looked at Lianxin, who looked sad, and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Qin is guilty of a big crime in this matter, but Lianxin is only an innocent victim. No matter who was given marriage to Wang Qin as food, he would not be able to escape such a fate. Please also ask the emperor to see that Lianxin has served the queen for many years, and don't punish Lianxin again. ”

The emperor bowed slightly: "I know, I won't blame Lianxin." There was shallow pity in his eyes, "I will solve your rivalry with Wang Qin, you should still serve by the queen's side." ”

Ruyi shook her head pitifully: "The queen mother was also kind back then, and wanted the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to rely on each other. Wang Qin is not a heinous bad person, but why have other eunuchs never had such a thing, but Wang Qin has it? I think it was because he had a wife after eating, and he felt that he was incomplete, so he gave birth to this greedy and filthy heart. According to the concubines, Wang Qin's sin is unforgivable, and his style of eating cannot be long. lest there be such a terrible thing in the palace again. ”

The emperor took a sip of tea and slowly: "Your words also make sense, I will think about it again when I go back." He got up and said, "It's not early, and I still have to go to Jiaguiren." Rest sooner. ”

Ruyi sent the emperor to the corridor and bent his knees and said: "The concubine is caught in the scourge of rumors, and it is grounded, so it is not appropriate to send each other too far." Here's a send-off to the emperor. ”

Lian Xinben went out behind the emperor, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but turn around and said: "What Concubine Xian Niangniang said, is it a rumor about Mei Gui having a child?" ”

Ruyi's faint smile was like a trembling pear blossom blooming in the wind: "The rumors are disturbing, and the palace can only wait for the water to come out." ”

Lianxin knelt down with a "plop", bent down and crawled to Ruyi's feet, and couldn't help crying: "Concubine Xian Niangniang, please be forgiving to the slave maid...... The sin of concealment of the slave and the maid. ”

Ruyi looked puzzled: "Have you ever hidden anything from this palace?" ”

"Slave maid...... The slave maid knew that the rumor that Mei Gui had a child was indeed not from you, but that Wang Qin drank a few mouthfuls of yellow soup after finishing his errand that day, and he was drunk and said nonsense. It's just that...... It's just that the slave and maid suffered greatly from Wang Qin in the past, so they never dared to say it. Please forgive your sins......" After Lianxin finished speaking, she kept kowtowing like pounding rice.

The emperor immediately stopped, turned around and said, "Is it Wang Qin?" Then why do the palace people say that it was first spread in the area of Yanxi Palace? ”

Lianxin looked sincere: "Yanxi Palace is the only way for Wang Qin to return to his house, he was drunk that day and lay on the side of the road outside Yanxi Palace full of nonsense, and he was still drunk when the slave maid found him." I'm afraid that's exactly the case, so when others heard it, they thought it was a rumor from Yanxi Palace. ”

The emperor seemed to believe it, and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Lian Xin hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The slave doesn't dare to speak falsely. The emperor and the emperor, not many people know about this matter, the emperor and the queen naturally will not tell the slave maid, and the slave and the maid have no contact with Yanxi Palace, if it weren't for Wang Qinhu to let the slave and maid know, who else would say that he heard it with the slave and maid? ”

The emperor immediately stretched out his hand to stop Li Yu: "There is no need to pass the sedan chair, I will stay in Yanxi Palace tonight, and I will not go to the Jiaguiren Palace." ”

Lianxin and Li Yu knew that they were interested, and immediately retreated.

The guilt in the emperor's eyes flashed in the clarity of his eyes, and he held Ruyi's hand: "Ruyi, I misunderstood you." ”

Ruyi smiled, the water rippled in her bright eyes, and she had a little clear tears: "Should the concubine sing the song "June Snow" to show that she is more wronged than Dou E?" ”

The emperor held her hand: "I don't doubt myself, I don't doubt the queen, and I don't even have time to doubt Wang Qin, so he brought someone over with a conclusive word, so that I can only doubt you." So I can only ground you. ”

What about grievances? What about resentment? Ruyi couldn't be clearer that when Jun En returned, her excessive grievances and grievances were all a dead leaf in the spring breeze, which was out of place.

Ruyi pressed the grievances in her heart to the end, revealing a smile as shallow as the first bud, the smile was thin, as if the sleeves of the spring god Dongjun could be easily blown off with a slight flick: "The emperor once said to the concubines that the concubines should rest assured." Even if the emperor didn't say anything about it this time, the concubines would think that the emperor would reassure the concubines. Therefore, the concubines also know that these days of grounding, there is no shortage of supplies for concubines. It's only a matter of time before things come to light. The concubine believes that even if it really comes to the day when everyone and everything points to the concubine, the emperor will protect the concubine thoroughly. ”

The emperor hugged her gently: "What you say is what I think." If there is a day, I will protect you. ”

The night is like a dark ocean, as far as the eye can see. After the clouds dispersed, a new moon became brighter and brighter, and the stars in the sky were more like broken diamonds scattered in a dome, and the stars and moon in the sky were intertwined with the lights in the Qionglou Jade Garden, as if they were each other's reflections. Dazzling and dazzling, confusing to the human eye. The moonlight sprinkled on the emperor's ochre-brown brocade dragon robe, slowly giving birth to a hazy halo.

Ruyi crouched on the emperor's chest, watching the wind under the corridor and blowing the branches and shadows, she had no intention of thinking about the cause and effect, and she knew that she shouldn't think about it. Simply, he showed a smile that got his wish.

After Ruyi's grounding was lifted, she gradually gained a momentum of excellence. After Wang Qin offended Concubine Hui and was executed, the emperor not only rarely went to Xianfu Palace, but also rarely set foot in the queen's palace.

On this day, Ruyi was sitting under the window, looking at the sunshine as bright as gold, and smiled unconsciously: "Spring is coming so fast, so soon there are flowers and bones on the peach branches." ”

Yi Xin came in with the dried silk thread and smiled coquettishly: "Isn't it? Everyone says that spring is only in Yanxi Palace. If you want to relax it, Jingyang Palace is too. So everyone is counting on the grace of the East Sixth House. ”

Ruyi smiled and said: "What is the grace of the East Sixth Palace, the emperor just came to us a few more times." You tell your subordinates not to be arrogant. ”

Yi Xin piled a large handful of dried silk threads on the red sandalwood case and slowly sorted it out, pursed his lips and smiled: "This slave naturally knows." It's just that Concubine Hui was the most favored in the past, and now the emperor doesn't go to her anymore. ”

"This time, I got all the scents in it, and I can finally use it." Ruyi stretched out her hand and plucked the silk thread, gently sniffed the smell of her fingertips, and said slowly, "Concubine Hui is smart but mistaken by smart." If she was really smart, she should not say a word, not shed a single tear, and wait for the emperor to deal with it after being offended by Wang Qin that day. ”

Holding his cheeks, he said curiously: "Why did the little master say this? But when a woman is humiliated, don't she have to cry? ”

"yes. The more she cried in front of the emperor, the more the emperor heard Lianxin talk about how Wang Qin was raging, he would think of Hui Guifei's tears, and remember that she was almost offended by Wang Qin that day. As a man, how can you endure it? ”

He pursed his lips and couldn't hide his smile: "So that day, the little master chose the right time for the concubine to pass by in front of our palace gate." Originally, the slave maid thought that it was the queen's mother who gave her marriage food, and such a thing fell on the queen, so that she was frightened, so that she could be considered happy. ”

Ruyi smiled and shook her head: "The queen is not as calm as Concubine Hui, and only when this matter falls on Concubine Hui will the emperor be angry with the queen, and feel that all kinds of rights and wrongs are caused by the queen's marriage and food, and the emperor will be snubbed together with Changchun Palace." ”

He smiled knowingly, and said in a low voice: "Only in this way can we pull down the concubine and the queen, punish Wang Qin, and save the little lord himself, killing three birds with one stone." ”

Ruyi said coldly: "My original intention was never just to save Lianxin, and by the way, in addition to the hidden danger of Wang Qin, I wanted to get rid of the food in the palace." At the beginning, the rumors were that the queen wanted to save me on the surface, and begged the emperor to just ground me, but in fact put me in a place where I could not save myself. In this case, I will punish a little, not only to protect myself, but also to let people trample on Yanxi Palace to the end. ”

Yi Xin nodded secretly: "Only by clearing this troubled water, will the emperor believe that Niangniang has nothing to do with the rumors, and he can be truly relieved." ”

Ruyi slowly picked out the silk thread and compared the color, and said with a smile: "Look at this handful of silk threads, there are dozens or hundreds of shades of red alone, if you grab it, you can tell which is carmine and which is coral red." It has to be placed on a snow-white raw silk to be clear at a glance. ”

He smiled knowingly: "So the little master has to leave a vacancy, so that the emperor can distinguish the colors before he can make a decision." ”

Ruyi smiled slightly, and the colorful silk threads snaked from her fingertips like flowing water, delicately pulled into a handful, hanging on the red sandalwood shelf, and letting it fall like a fine spring. "It's grounded, it's claustrophobic. Since the rumors outside are chaotic and pointed at me, then I will push the boat with the current, and it is naturally the best policy to avoid it a little. ”

"But is the little lord really never worried? The little lord is grounded, and the outside is naturally up to them, in case the little lord is arranged by them, and the source of the rumor that the noble Mei gave birth to a demon is the source of the nuisance of the palace, even if the emperor wants to protect you, it will not be able to keep it. ”

Ruyi's slender fingers were slightly raised, and a wisp of bright red was pulled out between the snow-white fingers: "They want to arrange such a thing, and it won't be enough for just one or two days." As long as I stay obediently in Yanxi Palace, then even if they have something, they won't do my business. If you think about it, if something happens to me, they must be harmed, but they have something to do with me, such a good thing, in exchange for you, are you willing to gamble? ”

Yi Xin pursed her lips and smiled, and slowly picked up a handful of green silk threads for Ruyi: "The slave doesn't dare to gamble, the slave and the maid can only follow the mother with peace of mind." ”

Ruyi's delicate eyebrows fluttered like stretched wings: "I also lost my lotus heart to be obedient, not only accusing Wang Qin of fornicating with the palace, but also offending Concubine Hui." also said that he was always drunk and talked nonsense, bragging indiscriminately, and the rumors came from him. What's more, whether it is or not, the emperor has already rejected this person in his heart, and he will think that he did it. ”

Xin Xin frowned slightly: "In addition to the emperor and queen, the people who know about this matter are the little lord and Wang Qin. Could it be that the little lord never suspected that it was the queen......"

Ruyi smiled coldly, put the silk thread on her fingers, and said, "How can I not doubt it? It's just that the queen is not someone I can move. Regardless of whether the person who used the rumors to harm me was her or not, I could only cut off her arm first! ”

"But Lotus Heart ......"

Lianxin just wants to get rid of Wang Qin, she is the queen's maid, and she is a marry, with her parents and clansmen, she doesn't dare to betray the queen for a while. It's okay, as long as people don't offend me, I won't offend people, so I'll keep her as a precaution. ”
