Now after listening to Xie Ruzhuo's words, Concubine Ye just smiled with an incomprehensible expression and said lightly, "So what if the person who comes here is not good? If she wants to get married, then let her do it, but it is not up to her whether other things can go as she wishes. .”
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo knew that Concubine Ye had her own plans, so she smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that the daughter-in-law came at the wrong time, and it also delayed the mother-in-law's meal."
She deliberately raised the subject, and Concubine Ye followed her lead and said, "What's the delay? You're not very hungry. Can you use a meal? Ask the maids to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Xie Ruzhuo hurriedly thanked Concubine Ye and said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law has eaten a lot this morning. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Xiao Xinning was not hungry anymore, so after chatting with Concubine Ye for a while, she smiled and said, "Concubine, I am going to my palace with the emperor's sister-in-law to play, so you should be busy first."
Seeing her like this, Concubine Ye nodded her forehead and said, "Don't be too playful. Your sister-in-law is pregnant. Don't you know too much?"
"I know, I know." Xiao Xinning smiled impatiently and pulled Xie Ruzhuo away.
I didn't want to, but I saw a palace servant running in in a hurry, saying in a panic, "Ms. Concubine, it's not good, please go and have a look! Concubine Jing has had a miscarriage!"
The smile on Concubine Ye's face suddenly froze, she stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
The palace man couldn't explain clearly, his face was full of fear, and he said, "I don't know, I don't know. You should go and have a look first!"
Seeing that the palace people were all stained with tears, Concubine Ye immediately walked outside.
The personal maid next to Concubine Ye was so busy that she took a big robe and put it on her, and said, "What are you still doing? Where is Concubine Jing now, please lead the way!"
Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Xining looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
Xiao Xinning was the first to say, "Sister-in-law, let's go take a look too."
Xie Ruzhuo stopped her, shook his head and said, "I have a fetus in my belly now, and it is not suitable to see the blood. Why don't you send a maid to inquire about it and tell us when you come back."
She lifted out the child in her belly, and Xiao Xinning's desire to watch the excitement suddenly faded away. He supported her and said, "That's fine." After saying that, Xiao Xinning ordered the maid to go and see what was going on, while he took Xie Ruzhuo with him. Returned to the Princess Palace.
This morning, the two of them had a leisurely time, admiring flowers and playing chess. But Xiao Xinning's mind was not on it, and she looked outside from time to time.
Xie Ruzhuo knew that she was too bored in the palace, so he said, "If you want to go, just go and watch the fun. It doesn't matter if I stay in the palace by myself."
But the more she said this, the less Xiao Xinning could not leave her in the palace. He just gritted his teeth and said, "No, I want to stay here with the emperor's wife."
Xie Ruzhuo did not criticize her and said with a smile, "Sure enough, Ning'er treats me the best."
The two were chatting and laughing when they suddenly saw Linglong walking in from outside, with a bit of urgency in her steps.
Seeing her return, Xiao Xinning immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on over there?"
There was still a bit of fear in Linglong's eyes, and she fell to the ground with a plop, patted her chest and said, "Princess, please let me take a breath first."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Xinning became more and more confused and said hurriedly, "What happened? Why are you so scared?"
Linglong waited for a while before saying, "Princess, something big happened. Cao Guiren pushed Concubine Jing down, causing Concubine Jing to have a miscarriage. Cao Guiren was killed by the emperor just now!"
But with just a few words, Xiao Xinning's expression suddenly changed, and she said in shock, "How could this happen? Please tell me carefully?"
Even Xie Ruzhuo stood up. Isn't Cao Guiren the biological mother of that little Nuomi Dumpling? She had met this Cao Guiren several times. She remembered that the woman had a very gentle temperament. How could something like this happen suddenly
Linglong panted, still a little scared, and explained the matter slowly, "When I went there, I saw that the Huayang Palace was still in chaos. Nobleman Lan was being twisted by Concubine Jing's maid, saying that he wanted to find The emperor asked for justice. When the imperial concubine asked, the palace people said that it was Guiren Lan who pushed Cao Guiren, and they also took out an earring left at the scene as evidence. Who knows, Guiren Lan said that it was not his. Guiren Cao The maid next to me said, 'Aren't these our master's earrings?'"
"The emperor happened to appear at that time. After hearing this, he asked if the earring belonged to Cao Guiren. Cao Guiren said yes, but he could not provide enough evidence to prove that he had lost the earring. Later, the imperial doctor came out to report that the child could not be saved. . The emperor was so angry that he immediately ordered Cao Guiren to be killed with a stick!"
Linglong told the story exactly as it was, with a horrified look on her face, "At that time, the emperor had not made up his mind to execute Cao Guiren. It was Lan Guiren who kept fanning the flames, which made the emperor's anger even more intense. In the end, not only Cao Guiren was dealt with, but also several palace officials around her were dealt with."
Xiao Xinning was also covered in cold sweat and murmured, "How could this be?"
Only Xie Ruzhuo looked calm, but if you look carefully, you can see that her palms are already covered with sweat.
A good life is gone if you give it up.
The so-called thunder storm, the emperor's anger, is nothing more than that.
After a long time, Xiao Xinning asked, "Where is the mother and concubine now?"
Linglong said in a trembling voice, "The imperial concubine was scolded for being lax in her duties. The emperor scolded her and left. The empress is still in Huayang Palace to deal with the aftermath." At this point, she said with some hatred, "This Guiren Lan was too cruel and ruthless. It was clear that the imperial concubine had already begged for mercy and could have saved Guiren Cao's life. But Guiren Lan kept on the sidelines, which eventually led to Guiren Cao's tragic death. It's really annoying!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Ruzhuo cautiously. She was talking so fast at this moment that she actually forgot that Princess Jing was the sister of noble Lan! Thinking of this, Linglong couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
She was so frightened and confused today that she even said such words!
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo didn't look at her at all, but looked out thoughtfully. Her intuition told her that there was something fishy going on today.
While thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly said, "Ning'er, I'm going to go out first. You can stay in the palace."
Xiao Xinning said a little worriedly, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Xie Ruzhuo did not answer, but walked out minding his own business.
It was approaching noon, and there was already warmth in the air. But she couldn't feel it at all when the sun was shining on Xie Ruzhuo's body.
Jiang Zhu supported her and asked in a low voice, "Princess, where are we going?"
Xie Ruzhuo cherished the words like golden words, "Huayang Palace."
She didn't know why she wanted to go, but she always felt that this matter had something to do with Xie Rulan. If she didn't go and take a look, she wouldn't feel at peace.
The main hall of Huayang Palace was in chaos, and Concubine Jing hadn't woken up yet, but Concubine Ye was in charge, so it wasn't too bad.
In the side hall, it was relatively quiet.
Ever since Emperor Jing came to see Xie Rulan, her food and clothing in the palace had been improved, and no servant dared to criticize her harshly anymore. Not only that, the things delivered were only slightly worse than Concubine Jing's.
Compared to Jade's worries, Xie Rulan seemed very calm, "What are you afraid of? It's just that someone died. Jade, since you stay with me, you must remember that if you are kind to others today, you will be kind to others another day." You are the one who will die!"
Jade was suddenly shocked by her words, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat involuntarily, but she didn't dare to refute, she just said, "But, Master, what we did today was too -"
"Shut up!"
Xie Rulan was dissatisfied with her weakness and snorted, "I am teaching you how to be a human being. If you can't do this kind of thing, then get out of here! I don't want useless trash here. !”
Seeing that Xie Rulan was angry, Jade immediately shut her mouth knowingly and said softly, "I obey my orders."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the shrill voice of the chamberlain, "To the princess—"
Before the eunuch's voice could finish speaking, Xie Ruzhuo had already lifted the curtain and walked in.
Xie Rulan's expression froze, and he immediately glanced at her and said, "Jade, don't you see any guests coming? Why don't you go and pour tea for the princess?"
Xie Ruzhuo said quietly, "No need, I just want to ask a few words and leave right away."
Upon seeing this, Jade immediately said respectfully, "My slave, please leave." When she left, she did not forget to take all the palace residents out.
After the door closed, Xie Ruzhuo asked, "What happened today?"
Xie Rulan sneered and said, "As you can see, Cao Guiren framed me, but when the matter was exposed, he was killed by the emperor."
"Really?"
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's questioning eyes, Xie Rulan suddenly became angry and said, "Xie Ruzhuo, the emperor has his own judgment on the truth of the matter. Didn't you say that it is not convenient for a daughter-in-law like you to interfere in royal affairs? Why are you meddling in the royal family's affairs now? "
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo said noncommittally, "Xie Rulan, God is watching what you do. Whatever you have done, you will be dug out sooner or later. Don't shoot yourself in the foot."
"Why don't I need your comment! Dear Princess, if nothing happens, please go out. I need to rest!" Xie Rulan felt guilty when she saw her, and pointed at the door to let her go.
Seeing this, what else does Xie Ruzhuo not understand? But she still had one last question to ask, "The child in Concubine Jing's belly—"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Xie Rulan say firmly, "You said it yourself, you're shooting yourself in the foot!"
Xie Ruzhuo didn't understand at first, but then he understood what she meant, nodded slightly, and went out.
Seeing her leaving, Xie Rulan felt inexplicably relieved, and soon her nose became sore and she shed tears.
Jade walked in from the outside, and seeing her like this, her heart ached. She hurriedly walked over, took out the handkerchief to wipe Xie Rulan's tears, and comforted her, "Master, don't cry, the pain in your heart is normal even if Princess Jing doesn't know about it." .”
Xie Rulan said bitterly, "They all hate me, and I also hate them. What's the point of suffering?" As she said this, she was so filled with hatred that she gritted her teeth and said, "What a concubine Jing, she actually took it out of her belly." The scoundrels came to frame me, if I hadn’t been clever, I would have died today!”
．．．．．．
"What did you say?!"
After listening to Jiang Zhu's words, Xie Ruzhuo immediately frowned and said, "Then Concubine Jing is really so cruel, can she attack Xie Rulan with her own child?"
Logically speaking, Xie Rulan is just a noble person with a much lower status than her, so Concubine Jing will not take her seriously.
