"Erhe, why did Concubine Shugui return to the palace suddenly?"

In Yongshou Palace, Ruyue seemed to be asking Er He indifferently, but Er He, who had been with him for many years, could not have known about the anger hidden in his words, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, Er He really didn't know beforehand."

"Duke Concubine Shugui came back to the palace for the first time, how could she know so clearly what has happened these days? Who could defy Concubine Chun's power and ask Liu Yingrui to report the news? If it wasn't for Erhe, you borrowed my name, Liu Yingrui How dare you bet the rest of your life in Shoukang Palace against Wanxiu?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Er Ho knelt down with a thud, but his back was straight. "Everything that Erhe does is for the sake of the empress. Erhe will do what the empress orders; what the empress can't bear to do, Erhe will do it for her; Erhe will only do more than the empress, and will not disturb the empress."

"You let Wanxiu fall into that kind of life again, that's my biggest worry!" Ruyue was really angry, and she spoke harshly. "Wanxiu is my own sister. Even if she troubles me, I will let her live the best life. She has never had a happy life in the past ten years. Now she finally sees a glimmer of light. Even if I have Worrying, I have worries, if I sacrifice other people, I don't want Wanxiu to suffer any harm!"

"Reflect on yourself." Ruyue turned her back and stopped looking at Erhe. "Ask Qianrui to come in and help me wash up."

Erhe held back her tears, and when she retreated in disappointment, Qianrui hurried in.

"Niang Niang──" Qian Rui only dared to call out these two words, and she didn't know how to speak about the news that followed.

"What happened? Tell me." Ruyue stared at Qianrui's lips opening and closing, but the words she uttered pierced her heart like sharp knives.

Before finishing listening, Ruyue screamed and fainted on the spot.

Inside the inn, Xiang Ling was lighting a candle when a figure staggered in.

"Physician Yang, why are you so drunk?" Xiang Ling reached out to help Yang Zixuan, but the other party pushed her hand away and staggered to a sitting position, and suddenly burst into tears at the table.

Xiang Ling looked at such a big man crying, but didn't know what to say.

In addition, after Xiangling left the palace that day, although Bacha sent someone to pick him up, the sedan chair was broken by heavy rain on the way, and Xiangling got off the sedan chair and waited as it was fate. He didn't want to let her go home.After returning home, she lost her children and lost their use value, but she was just an abandoned child, so what's the point of going back in such a mess?

So Xiang Ling opened her umbrella and strolled on the street.She was afraid of going back to her hometown to face her three children, but she didn't know where to go. She was like a kite with its tether broken in the air, and she didn't know where to go.It was when she was in despair that she met Doctor Yang.

Imperial Physician Yang is the imperial physician in the palace. When he diagnosed the fifth elder brother with blood disease in Xiefang Palace that day, Concubine Ru asked her to help persuade Imperial Physician Yang in order to seal the matter.The prince suffers from congenital blood disease, which is a serious crime to tarnish the dragon descendants. Yang Zixuan didn't want to get involved in the secrets of the palace, so he made up his mind to get out of the palace. Unexpectedly, he was forced back by Xiangling and continued to work for Rufei.

After leaving the palace, Xiang Ling also learned of a trace of connection in the palace through Yang Zixuan.

"Master Yang is so sad, could it be that something happened in the palace?"

As soon as Xiang Ling said this, Yang Zixuan raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Nurse Xiang Ling, we were all deceived by Concubine Ru."

Xiang Ling replied in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"Do you remember Ruo Kui? Back then, Empress Ruo Concubine asked me to fake Ruo Kui's madness in order to send her out of the palace, and I did the same. But, but..." Yang Zixuan paused, and then said: "Ruo Kui She really went crazy! When she was crazy, she kept chanting the names of Concubine Ru and Concubine Chun, and after she was sent to Ji'an Office, she even...was even raped..." Yang Zixuan said later. If he didn't go down, he would sweep the wine bowl to the ground.

"How could this be? I remember that Ruo Kui was fine before leaving the palace?" Xiang Ling couldn't help asking when she heard what happened to Ruo Kui.Although Ruo Kui deliberately caused many troubles in order to leave the palace, Xiang Ling did not believe that Ruo Kui was really crazy.

Yang Zixuan's eyes were in a trance, and he didn't answer.

"Not only that, you have done so many things for Empress Rufei, but after you left the palace, she actually agreed to betroth Muduer to Xue Dongsheng in the respect room. The empress specifically asked me to keep this matter a secret from you. Actually, it was not a coincidence that I met you on the street, but Rufei asked me to find you, in order to see if there was any chance to persuade you to return to the palace. ..." Picking up the jug and pouring it down his throat, Yang Zixuan said with tears in his eyes, "At first I would rather believe that Concubine Ruo is a good person, but Ruo Kui's incident made me suspicious, so today Wu Ah When my brother contracted the plague throat, I was hesitant, and the injection was late, but the fifth elder brother..."

Xiang Ling, who was hit by repeated news, keenly grasped the end of the sentence, and asked quickly: "What do you think is wrong with fifth elder brother?"

"Fifth brother... Fifth brother passed away!"

Xiang Ling felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of despair.At the beginning she bid farewell to the three children in the countryside and entered the palace to take care of the fifth elder brother. After a few years, she has already regarded the fifth elder brother as her own. Now that even the fifth elder brother has left, her closest relatives are no longer in the world. Is it even more sad to stay in the world?

"It's not because of the blood disease...but because of the throat infection?" She and Ru Fei were always afraid that the fifth elder brother would die of blood disease, but it was because of the throat pain that they had never thought about.Xiang Ling stared at Yang Zixuan for a long while, and then said again: "Concubine Ru... how did she react?"

"Heartbroken and remorseful."

In just eight words, it expresses the feelings of being a mother, and Xiang Ling also burst into tears.

"Concubine Ru blames herself for putting all her attention on Concubine Chun these days, and forgot to care about the current situation of the fifth elder brother, so she didn't even know that the fifth elder brother was suffering from a serious illness. At present, the coffin is parked in the Xiefang Hall, and the empress Rufei is day and night Everyone will take care of it.”

"Too concerned about Concubine Chun?" Xiang Ling sneered suddenly, she figured out some things that she had never figured out. "It's not that you care too much about Concubine Chun, but that everything Rufei does is for Concubine Chun."

In the past, she told Concubine Bingyan about Bing Yan in order to ask for favors. She thought that according to the rumors circulating in the harem, Concubine Ru, who is naturally fierce by nature, would punish the palace maids severely, but she never expected that Bing Yan would leave the palace early.Afterwards, the matter of Imperial Physician Yang and Ruo Kui made Xiangling believe that Concubine Ruo was not as vicious and cunning as the rumors outside said. In addition, Concubine Ruo introduced her as a confidant, and she also began to confide in Concubine Ruo, but she never expected that, Everything is an elaborate deception!

Concubine Ruo didn't deal with Bingyan because of a large-scale investigation, which would eventually hurt Concubine Chun; Concubine Yang wanted to be loyal to Imperial Physician Yang, which was also alienating the relationship between the latter and Concubine Chun; Concubine Ruo pretended to send Ruokui out of the palace. But to really drive Ruokui crazy.What's more, it was Concubine Ru who lied to her, pretending to gain her trust first, all for the purpose of finding out the owner of the sachet, otherwise Concubine Ru would not have dealt with Mudu'er as soon as she left the palace!

Thinking carefully about his words and deeds, Xiang Ling also found a flaw.Concubine Ru has always been cautious, how could she trust her completely all of a sudden?Moreover, Concubine Ru explained the matter between her and Concubine Chun in such detail, but if it was true, how could Concubine Ru restrain the sex for more than ten years and allow misunderstandings to arise?Who is Concubine Chun, if she loves her for life and hates her for death, if she has a deep affection for Ruyue, she will never just spread rumors and stay in the harem; There can never be sisterhood and good times.After thinking about it, Xiangling feels that he has suffered a lot of lies, but he has nothing to tell others, because one thing is true in the densely assembled lies——Niu Hulu Ruyue surpassed Chang Lun and liked her sister!But no one will believe this truth!

Xiangling is like a sinner with treasures in his arms, seeing Ruyue's deepest secrets, but all the passers-by think that she is holding a rock in her arms and spit at her face, even if she talks to people everywhere like crazy, but only breaks her legs. The end of the hand.The concubine Ru concubine enlightened her about sex, but wanted her to spend the rest of her life with such wild thoughts, why was she so cruel to her?Could it be that Xiang Ling has become an abandoned child for the sake of her sister!

Seeing that Xiangling seemed to be crying and laughing, Yang Zixuan couldn't help holding back his tears, and asked in surprise, "Mother Xiangling?"

"Physician Yang, let me tell you the funniest thing in the world..." Xiang Ling felt crazy, with a frenzied expression. "Ruyue... that seemingly unapproachable and high-ranking concubine, but she has always admired her wayward and stubborn younger sister in her heart. She is so humble... so despicable!"
