After listening to Tong Ruohua's story, Chunxi understood that women in the world were all sad. No one's life is peaceful and happy, and under those superficial halos, there is silent anguish.

Seeing Tong Ruohua burst into tears, Chunxi suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was different from what she saw on weekdays. She is no longer the Hua concubine who plays with the temper of the young lady, she has no domineering posture, she is just a poor little woman with a painful heart.

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Tong Ruohua asked Chunxi: "I don't know if Niangniang has heard me say so much, but she is willing to cooperate with me?" ”

Chunxi didn't expect to hear Tong Ruohua take the initiative to cooperate today, obviously they should be people in two worlds, even if there is an intersection, they should become enemies, but at this time they have the heart to fight together.

Chunxi didn't reply immediately, just looked at Tong Ruohua's face and analyzed every expression on her face in this matter. Intuition told her that Tong Ruohua was not lying now, and her body movements and tone of expression did not look like she was lying. But Chunxi didn't dare to believe her, after all, they had never really understood each other.

Seeing that Chun Xi was silent, Tong Ruohua smiled helplessly, knowing that Chun Xi would not believe in herself so easily, and said without reservation: "Niang Niang can trust me once, no matter whether it is success or failure, no matter what the outcome is, it doesn't matter to Niang Niang." If I just made up such a story to get close to my mother, it would be too unnecessary. No matter how unbearable I am Tong Ruohua, I will not tell such a lie. ”

Chunxi still didn't speak, but she kept analyzing it in her heart. That's right, even if Tong Ruohua really doesn't lie, this story may be true, but it may also be a trap.

Tong Ruohua was a little anxious, although she was invited by Chunxi on the surface today, it was actually Tong Ruohua who came to the door by herself. It was difficult to be quiet that day, just to attract the attention of Chunxi. These days, she has been favored, but she has no scruples in front of Tong Ruofei, which annoys Tong Ruofei precisely because she wants Chunxi to notice her.

"Perhaps, I should tell Niangniang that Concubine Jing almost lost her life at the beginning, and it was I who caused it." Chunxi was still thinking deeply, and heard Tong Ruohua himself start to break the news.

She was stunned for a moment, Tong Ruohua thought that her words had an effect, so she continued: "The reason why I did that at the beginning was not that I was really jealous of Concubine Jing, but that I couldn't get used to her fake appearance and wanted to teach her a lesson." ”

"But your lesson almost killed her." Chun Xi finally opened her mouth.

Tong Ruohua didn't think so, but said: "I didn't want her life, and I couldn't really be that ruthless." After all, I don't have a real hatred with Concubine Jing, so why should I make a fuss. At that time, I just wanted to falsely accuse Concubine Jing of having an affair with the guards, spread some gossip, ruin her reputation, and make her suffer some crimes. ”

It turned out that Tong Ruohua actually wanted to ruin the good reputation that Jing Hao had since he entered the palace, but he didn't want things to make a big deal, so he actually had a moral corruption and caused a murder.

"However, my mind was known to Concubine Jing, and she led to the major event of Concubine Jing's loss." Tong Ruohua said again.

Chunxi didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in this matter, it turned out that it was Wang Tianru who really led things to that point. However, what is her purpose?

"In this way, you are not only resentful of the imperial concubine, but also dissatisfied with the concubine." Chun Xi said in the affirmative.

Tong Ruohua didn't deny it, but nodded and said, "I want to get rid of Concubine Jing's control." Since that incident, Concubine Jing has claimed to be on the same side as me, and she will crush me in everything. I don't want to be controlled anymore, and I don't want to fall victim to court battles. Although I am a member of the Tong family, I don't want to sacrifice my life for the Tong family. What's more, what I did after entering the palace had already made the imperial concubine sneer at me and think that I was overwhelmed. In this way, I also had more time and was barely free. However, I was not very happy in the palace. Because I entered the palace to compete for favor, to earn glory for the Tong family, and to give birth to the children of the emperor and the Tong family on behalf of the imperial concubine. Except that because of the Tong family's return to Manchuria, I received some favor and became a useful person in the eyes of the Tong family, I can only live in the shadow of the imperial concubine. Because, except for the children, the imperial concubine has everything, and everything about her is what the Tong family wants me to have. And I don't want to live like this. I don't want to be reduced to a fertility tool, and I don't want to be a stepping stone for the imperial concubine to achieve her goals. ”

"Having said all this, what Hua Concubine wants in the end is just a stable life, and she wants to get rid of the status quo?" Chun Xi suddenly smiled, it turned out that a person's wish was so simple.

"No, what I want is not just to get rid of the status quo, to get rid of the control of the concubine, to get rid of the shadow of the imperial concubine." Tong Ruohua said categorically: "What I want, and the trust of the Tong family, I want to be their only reliance." ”

"Have you made up your mind?" If you want to become the only reliance of the Tong family, you can only get rid of the current reliance. And that reliance is Tong Ruofei. Tong Ruohua not only wants to deal with Tong Ruofei, but also wants her life.

But Chunxi remembered the story that Tong Ruohua told her, and she felt understandable again. Tong Ruofei will not die, and Tong Ruohua will never be able to turn over. Even if he is favored, even if he has the opportunity to give birth to a son and a half daughter, he can only become Tong Ruofei's foil after all. What's more, I'm afraid she doesn't even have a chance to give birth now.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. Every day after entering the palace, my determination became even stronger. Tong Ruohua's appearance of wearing a strong heart still moved Chunxi after all.

That's right, the Ushia faltered. Even if she doesn't fully believe Tong Ruohua now, she still wants to gamble. People's hearts are unpredictable, and Chunxi intuitively thinks that everything about Tong Ruohua today is real, so she is willing to give it a try.

"So what does Concubine Hua want to do?" There was no expression on her face, she didn't want to show her feelings, she didn't want Tong Ruohua to notice her emotional changes, because she had to be at least calm on the surface to hide her not so calm heart.

Tong Ruohua took Chunxi's hand and wrote two words in her palm. Based on her feelings, she decided that she was writing the word "amber".

Amber, these two words are familiar and unfamiliar

For a while, Chunxi couldn't think of it, she only felt inexplicable, and glanced at Tong Ruohua suspiciously.

Tong Ruohua explained: "She is a Gege, the emperor's biological daughter. It's just that the biological mother made a big mistake and died, and was raised in Shou'an Palace since childhood. ”

"Shou'an Palace?" Chunxi wondered, why couldn't she remember that there was an Amber Gege in Shou'an Palace?

Since Chun Xi entered the palace, she is clear about what happened in the palace. The birth and growth of a Gege, there is no reason not to know. In this way, this Gege should have been born before he entered the palace, and he is still fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Concubine Yi still remembers that on the fifteenth day of the first month of last year, the ancestor feasted the concubines and concubines of the palace and the ladies of the royal family and nobles. Tong Ruohua reminded.

Chunxi tried hard to recall that the banquet was sitting at the front, and it was by Xuan Ye's side. At that time, there was indeed such a thing, but because of the distance, it was not a major matter, but it was just drunk. So Chun Xi didn't take it to heart, and just laughed with Xuan Ye at that time, and then went drinking and having fun again.

"That drunken Gege is Amber." Tong Ruohua said: "And her biological mother is Bu Guiren." ”

"Bu Guiren?" Thinking back hard again, I vaguely remembered that when Ma Jia Yiqing's prince Changsheng drowned, Shu Sleeve was killed, checked and checked, and finally it was done by a palace maid in the cold palace. And the mastermind was beaten into the cold palace because of madness. What happened at the beginning was really weird, but at that time, Bu Guiren was already crazy, and later he was executed, and the matter ended.

Today, why did Tong Ruohua suddenly mention this person?

"I once secretly inquired about how Bu Guiren died." Tong Ruohua said again: "It's just that I wasn't in the palace at the time after all, and what I heard was just hearsay." I believe that Niangniang should know the whole story of Bu Guiren's execution, and I also believe that Niangniang understands who is the mastermind behind that incident. ”

"What do you mean?" Chun Xi asked quietly.

"Concubine Yi thinks, why did she let Bu Guiren be the scapegoat in the first place?" Tong Ruohua asked rhetorically.

This is a question that Chun Xi has never thought about. About Zhaojia Jinyu, Chun Xi knows very little, a person who was beaten into the cold palace before she entered the palace, why should she bother to understand. After the incident happened at that time, I only felt that because Zhaojia Jinyu was in the cold palace and was a madman, he would be taken advantage of. But today, Tong Ruohua mentioned this matter, which made people suspicious.

"Could it be that the noble man of Bu also has an entanglement with the imperial concubine?" Chun Xi wondered.

Tong Ruohua shook his head and only said, "I don't know what this is going on. It's just that I've heard Lianxue and my sister talk about this person. At the time, I overheard it and didn't know what was going on. In Jingren Palace, most of them are her cronies, and I don't dare to track them down. Today, I said that I was with Concubine Yi, and I also wanted to find the answer from Concubine Yi. ”

"A person who has been dead for many years, an old thing, why bother to track it down?" However, chasing after the wind and shadows, the past is the most difficult to inquire and understand. This was the case with the death of Empress Renxiao.

"But, is there any other way for Concubine Yi?" Tong Ruohua asked rhetorically: "Now that the imperial concubine is firmly in the ascendancy, she is already at ease, just wait for time, and there will be ministers in the DPRK and China who will propose the matter of sealing the queen." Her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. At this time, Concubine Yi still thinks that she will cause more trouble and deal with you? If there is no way to catch her handle in a short time, it is better to double the past, and maybe there will be gains. ”

Chunxi suddenly smiled, she had indeed underestimated Tong Ruohua before. A person who wants to break free from the shackles must also have a good brain. That's right, Chun Xi has not been able to grasp Tong Ruofei's handle for so many years, how can he hope for a short time now?
