The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her
Chapter 388: The concubine is always secret, the vicious queen
While taking care of Concubine Situ Hui, Mrs. Situ was extremely surprised by Lin Ruoxi's words. Concubine Situ Hui was also like this, her sallow face was full of disbelief.
Lin Ruoxi walked around the hall, and finally came to Mrs. Liang, and asked with a serious expression: "Ms. Liang, do you know when your mother became seriously ill?"
Lady Liang replied: "Returning to Miss Situ, the empress suddenly fell ill after the old lady's funeral and returned to Lanxin Palace on the second day. When the imperial doctor came to see her, they all said that the empress was restless and overly emotional. It was caused by excitement, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation, but the empress's body has not improved, and it is getting more and more serious."
Mrs. Liang's words made Lin Ruoxi's heart skip a beat twice.
If according to what Mistress Liang said, Concubine Situ Hui contracted the disease on the second day after the old lady's funeral, it is very likely that the poison was injected in Lanxin Palace, which is also the place where Concubine Situ Hui often goes. [
Concubine Situ Hui asked weakly: "Ruoxi, what happened? What do you mean by poisoning?"
Lin Ruoxi didn't want to hide anything, so she hurriedly replied: "Empress Hui, in fact, Ruoxi guessed that someone must have visited your Lanxin Palace, and they must have tampered with it before you came back, so that you were infected with this disease. poison, and this poison is in contact with you every day, but you don't notice it, so that the poison is getting worse and worse over time, and your body is getting worse."
"But the imperial doctor came and said that I was not seriously ill because the old lady was too sad after she passed away. I found several imperial doctors who said the same thing, so I naturally believed that my body was really good. And seriously."
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath: "But ma'am, do you think your health is better after they finished talking? Not only did it not improve, but it got worse, didn't it? What does this mean? It means that these imperial physicians have been bribed, Nothing that was said was true."
Concubine Situ Hui's eyes opened wider and wider, and a pair of such big eyes appeared on a dry face, making her look even more desolate and terrifying.
When Lin Ruoxi saw Concubine Situ Hui being tortured like this, it really made her feel heartbroken.
Concubine Situ Hui smiled bitterly: "It's her, it must be her! Empress Wu manipulated me while I was leaving Lanxin Palace, trying to put me to death. I hate her, and I dare say that the person who manipulated me must be is her."
After Concubine Situ Hui said this, Lady Liang hurriedly remembered something: "Concubine Hui, this servant reminded me that when you returned to Lanxin Palace, some maidservants said that Empress Empress would come to see you one day, but they rushed It was empty, so she left Lanxin Palace, if the servant girl guessed correctly, that day happened to be a few hours before your return to Lanxin Palace."
Mrs. Situ could bear it no longer. She supported the weak Concubine Situ Hui with both hands, gritted her teeth and said, "This Empress Wu is really vicious. She knows that Concubine Hui is not in the palace, but she is in the palace of Concubine Hui. Poisoning her, such a vicious thing, only she can think of."
Lin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes, but she had a faint feeling of refreshment in her heart, because she knew that Empress Wu would end up like Concubine Situ Hui one day. As the saying goes, if you harm others, you will end up harming yourself. Let's see who will have the last laugh.
Lin Ruoxi calmly analyzed it, and decided to look for it in Concubine Situ Hui's bedroom, because she knew that only this bedroom was where Concubine Situ Hui stayed the longest and had the longest exposure to this poison.
She first checked Concubine Situ Hui's quilt and mattress, then the pillows, curtains, paintings on the wall, and incense burner, and found nothing strange.
When she returned to the main hall, she saw Concubine Situ Hui warming her cold palms with a hand stove.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt something was wrong, so she took a few quick steps, grabbed the stove that was warming Concubine Situ Hui's hand, and knocked the stove to the ground. 13v.
Mrs. Situ and Concubine Situ Hui were startled by Lin Ruoxi's actions, especially Concubine Situ Hui, who was already weak, couldn't help coughing again after being hit like this.
Mrs. Situ frowned and asked, "Ruoxi, what's the matter? Why did you overturn the stove under Concubine Hui's hand? Is there something wrong with this hand stove?"
Lin Ruoxi didn't answer Mrs. Situ's words immediately. She walked to the yellow glass table, picked up the cup of hot tea on the glass table, walked to the stove, and poured all the hot tea on the charcoal fire in the stove.
When the charcoal fire was extinguished, there was a pungent fragrance from the charcoal fire. The fragrance was so strong that it made people smell like tears.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly shouted: "Everyone cover your mouth and nose!"
After she finished speaking, she ran to the door of the main hall, opened the door, let the outside air enter the room, and blew away the pungent aroma, and then closed the door of the main hall,
There was no such pungent smell in the hall, so Lin Ruoxi let go of her hand covering her mouth and nose, and explained: "Just now, Eldest Sister also smelled the pungent charcoal from the doused charcoal. Does it taste good?"
Ms. Liang was the first to feel surprised, and replied: "Miss Situ, this charcoal has no smell. Even if it is lit, there will be no fragrance. Even if it is extinguished, it will still smell of burnt charcoal. How can there be such a smell?" How about a pungent aroma?"
Lin Ruoxi said lightly: "Originally, the lit charcoal was used for heating with a hand stove, so it is not suitable to put spices, even if it is lit or extinguished, it will not emit fragrance, but when I use tea to burn the charcoal When the charcoal was poured out, a pungent smell emanated from the charcoal merchant, which proved that the charcoal had been tampered with."
When Concubine Situ Hui and Mrs. Situ heard these words, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Lin Ruoxi continued: "Not only that, Concubine Hui, it seems that you still have Empress Wu's eyeliner in your palace, and it is her and Empress Wu who work together to keep you using this poisonous eyeliner without anyone noticing it." The charcoal used as raw material has warmed hands until now, and has been poisoned until now.”
Mistress Liang frowned and said angrily, "Mother, the maidservant who has been preparing charcoal for the stove for you is Xiaorui. The maidservants always look flustered when they see her these days. The poisoning in the hand stove must have something to do with her. If the maidservants had If you find out about this at all, you won't let your empress suffer so much!"
Concubine Situ Hui said naively: "This is none of your business, Lady Liang brought Xiaorui here!"
"Yes, madam!"
Officer Liang came back not long after, but her face was pale, as if she had just been frightened.
"Mother, Xiaorui... committed suicide!"
Lin Ruoxi said coldly: "I knew that Empress Wu would not leave any excuses for me. This Xiaorui may have overheard our conversation outside the palace just now, so she felt that the matter was exposed, so she chose to commit suicide."
Concubine Situ Hui sighed softly: "I can't take it anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight this demon queen again!"
Mrs. Situ stretched out her hand to hold her slightly cold hand, and said comfortingly: "Look at what you said, the old lady and I once mentioned that you were very smart when you were young, and you would always turn danger into good fortune. It’s the same when you grow up, and you will live a long life!”
"Mother, does she always say that?"
Mrs. Situ nodded: "Yes, she always mentions you like that!"
Concubine Situ Hui's eyes were dim, her nose was also sore and she said: "The old lady has always loved me so much, but I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety and serve the old lady by her side..."
As Concubine Situ Hui spoke, her tears fell like broken beads.
Not long after, she coughed violently again, and another mouthful of blood stained her dress red.
Mrs. Situ hurriedly called out: "Miss Liang, hurry up and invite the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Concubine Hui!"
Lady Liang responded, and retreated in a hurry, so she went to the imperial physician for Concubine Situ Hui.
And Lin Ruoxi was very clear in her heart, Concubine Situ Hui was already poisoned too deeply, it could be said that she was dying of illness, even if the genius doctor Hua Tuo was alive, she would not be able to cure her serious illness. [
Concubine Situ Hui smiled bitterly, and took Madam Situ's hand, her big eyes looked a little empty: "Sister-in-law, I think my illness has been recovering, but I want to ask you for something."
Mrs. Situ frowned, and asked: "Mistress Hui, what are you talking about? You will be fine and live a long life."
"Sister-in-law, my own body is very clear in my heart! I don't ask for anything else now, I just want to ask you for a few things."
Madam Situ gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "Concubine Hui, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it."
Concubine Situ Hui smiled. Although the smile on her yellow face was a bit embarrassing and bitter, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, which was also her heartfelt voice.
"This is the first thing I want to ask you. After I die, I must trouble you and get used to King Mao for me. I hope he will not do stupid things because of me, and not be too impatient to make mistakes."
Mrs. Situ nodded without hesitation: "Concubine Hui, I will definitely do this for you!"
Concubine Situ Hui sighed softly: "As long as my sister-in-law agrees. The second thing is that I hope to return to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion before I die. Although I will be buried in the royal family's cemetery in Nanjiang Kingdom, I want to be quiet. Spend the last moment in the Pingyang Houfu!"
Speaking of this, Concubine Situ Hui was already choked up, and Mrs. Situ couldn't help wiping the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Although I don't like to hear you say these things, But since it's what the empress wants, I will definitely find a way to do it."
Concubine Situ Hui smiled with satisfaction, and said with a choked voice: "Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you for answering my prayer."
She hesitated for a moment, but said the third thing: "Sister-in-law, the third thing is, I want to meet him in Pingyang Hou's Mansion before I die, and I hope you can help me arrange it. "
Mrs. Situ's expression froze, and there was no response for a while, but when she saw Concubine Situ Hui looking at her with almost pleading eyes, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will do my best to solve this matter." made."
"For so many years, I heard that he lived alone, but he has always been full of resentment towards me. I understand this, but I had to make such a choice at the time, otherwise the entire Situ My family will face defeat, and for the sake of the entire Situ family, I must sacrifice my feelings and choose to marry the emperor, so I will go on like this."
Concubine Situ Hui coughed again because she talked too much in one breath, her whole body was like suffering from deep water, her face gradually changed from yellow to red.
Mrs. Situ let out a long sigh, and the tears could not stop falling, but she still did not forget to comfort her: "Your Majesty, don't say any more, I know that you have sacrificed too much for the entire Situ family, but you have regretted it before." Did you marry the emperor for the sake of the entire Situ family?"
Concubine Situ Hui stopped coughing, and waited for her emotions to stabilize, before she said, "I have never regretted it, if time goes back to 20 years ago, I would still have such a choice, and the only person I feel sorry for is him! "
Lin Ruoxi stood aside. Although she didn't know who the concubine Situ Hui and Mrs. Situ were talking about, she could feel that Concubine Situ Hui was a great woman who sacrificed her own happiness for the glory and destiny of her family. In the end, he chose to marry the emperor of Nanjiang. This kind of spirit, probably out of Concubine Situ Hui, few people can really do it.
The Imperial Physician was introduced into the hall by Lady Liang, and Lin Ruoxi snorted coldly: "Master Imperial Physician, although my servant is not as skilled in medicine as your lord, I have seen that Concubine Hui's body was caused by poisoning, and every one of you Everyone agreed that it was caused by Concubine Hui's restlessness and sadness, didn't you do it on purpose?"
After hearing Lin Ruoxi's words, the imperial physician couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, but still pretended not to know: "Miss Situ, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Oh? Is it true that I don't know or is it fake? Let me advise you, my lord physician. Although the empress is very powerful, she is not as powerful as the emperor's authority and power, right? Can you afford to bear the guilt?"
Lin Ruoxi was already covered in cold sweat when she saw the imperial physician, and her body was also trembling, but she still said cold words and threatened: "Don't expect the empress to help you when you are in crisis, she will only be in front of the emperor." Said, these imperial doctors are really useless, or you intend to kill Concubine Hui, you should be executed immediately."
"Do you know why Empress Wu said that?" The imperial physician was already confused, and was even led by the nose by Lin Ruoxi.
"How is this going?"
Lin Ruoxi smiled: "Tell me, if you all know that I have done too many bad things, will I give you a chance to live? I will only kill people to silence them."
As soon as Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, the imperial physician suddenly understood.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy to Concubine Hui, "Concubine Hui, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be too greedy and not treat Concubine Hui well. I beg Concubine Hui to forgive me forever."
Concubine Situ Hui lay on the soft couch and clapped her hands: "There is no need to talk about the past, as long as you can recuperate your body for me!"
The imperial physician nodded, and hurriedly took the pulse of Concubine Situ Hui, and the result of the pulse was just as Lin Ruoxi guessed, Concubine Situ Hui would not last too long, maybe not more than five days.
After he finished speaking, the clothes on his back were drenched with cold sweat.
Concubine Situ Hui seemed to have expected it long ago, and smiled lightly: "Thank you, my lord, for telling the truth in front of me, Miss Liang...for sending me away, my lord!"
"Yes!"
Lady Liang sent the imperial physician away, Madam Situ took Concubine Situ Hui's hand, and patted the back of her hand lightly: "Empress Hui, you can rest assured, I will do my best to do whatever you want me to do for you." Do it...no, I'm going to do it now!"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Situ let go of her hand. Concubine Situ Hui couldn't stop her. She had already walked out of the main hall of Lanxin Palace.
Before Lin Ruoxi left, she made a bow to Concubine Situ Hui: "Empress Hui, you must take care of yourself!"
"Ruoxi, thank you for your concern, I'm fine now..." She looked at Mrs. Situ's disappearing back with some anxiety and said, "Ruoxi, hurry up and kill your mother, I hope she won't do it." Something reckless happened."
"|Okay, I'll go now!"
Lin Ruoxi and Luoxue looked at each other, Luoxue hurriedly accompanied Lin Ruoxi to catch up with Zheng full of anger, and walked towards Empress Wu's birthday ceremony.
Disciples are also severely punished. "Mother, what are you going to do?"
Mrs. Situ snorted coldly: "What am I going to do? I'm going to take off Empress Wu's vicious face!"
"Mother, Ruoxi knows that mother must be very resentful now, but you can't lose your mind at this time, have you ever thought about it? Maybe this is all Empress Wu's set."
"Trap? What other traps can she have?"
Lin Ruoxi analyzed: "The reason why Empress Wu poisoned Concubine Situ Hui had two purposes. First, she wanted to completely defeat Concubine Situ Hui, so that she felt that no one would be like Concubine Hui in the harem. , always hindering her from doing things."
"Secondly, she wanted to trip Concubine Situ Hui, so that King Mao's position in the palace would become weak, and the entire Situ family would also become weak because of Concubine Situ Hui's absence. It happened to take this opportunity , she can annihilate this Situ family in one fell swoop."
"Mother, do you know that Empress Wu is waiting for you to make trouble. On such an important occasion, if you make trouble, the reputation of the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion will be affected, and the emperor will even feel disgusted." And punishment, isn't it because of Empress Wu's shadow?"
Mrs. Situ stopped in her tracks and asked: "Then what should I do? Is it like this, knowing the reason of the matter and still holding back like this, allowing Empress Wu to bully me, then the Pingyang Hou Mansion has become a plaything in her hands?" ?”
"It's good for mother to have such concerns, but Ruoxi thinks that what mother and I should do right now is to help Concubine Situ Hui realize her wish."
When Mrs. Situ heard Lin Ruoxi's words, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, and she even felt that every word Ruoxi said was so correct.
She sighed softly, and finally returned to the seat arranged for Empress Wu's birthday celebration with Lin Ruoxi quietly.
Princess Izumo saw that Lin Ruoxi and Madam Situ had returned safely, so he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned close to Lin Ruoxi's ear, and asked softly, "You and Madam Situ both went to Lanxin Palace, did you encounter any troubles? ?”
Lin Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Izumo, it's nothing serious, you don't have to worry!"
Princess Izumo smiled reassuringly: "It's fine." Suddenly, she whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear nervously: "You have already missed a good show after you left."
Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly, and asked, "What kind of show will make Izumo so happy?"
"Empress Wu has been touching the Fengwu Cangqiongqin beside her just now, but her little finger accidentally touched the Fengwu Cangqiongqin, and there was a loud bang, which made Empress Wu limp on the phoenix chair. The expression on his face was flustered. It seems that we performed well, and Empress Wu has already begun to be fooled."
The smile on Lin Ruoxi's face subsided, and she whispered in Princess Izumo's ear: "I really hope that Empress Wu will be rewarded with evil, and finally die out of fear.
After saying this, Lin Ruoxi looked at Mrs. Situ, only to see Mrs. Situ staring viciously at Empress Wu who was playing the piano again, cursing in her heart, Empress Wu, wait for me, sooner or later you will definitely die in the in my hands.
Empress Wu's birthday ceremony lasted for about three hours, until the emperor waved his hand, and all the people stood up to salute and bid farewell to Empress Wu and the Nanjiang emperor.
Mrs. Situ walked out from the seat on the left, and hurriedly called Situ Yu who was about to leave softly.
Situ Yu asked very curiously: "Madam, what's the matter with you? Why did you call me?"
Mrs. Situ whispered a few words in Situ Yu's ear, and Situ Yu frowned, took the letter that Mrs. Situ handed him, and he strode towards the direction where the emperor disappeared.
"Mother, let's go!"
"it is good!"
Lin Ruoxi took Mrs. Situ's hand, and the two walked out of the hall.
After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Situ asked the coachman to go to a place, and Lin Ruoxi knew that this place must be the residence of the person whom Concubine Situ was more attached to.
After the carriage stopped, Mrs. Situ and Lin Ruoxi got out of the carriage.
Lin Ruoxi raised her eyes and saw a brown wooden door plaque under the eaves of the door, and on the door plaque were engraved with three large golden characters "Ink and Wash House".
Mrs. Situ sighed softly: "Ruoxi, let's go in!"
Lin Ruoxi nodded, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a hoarse voice came from inside after a while: "Who are you all?"
Mrs. Situ replied: "We are all friends of Mr. Ink and Wash!"
The door was opened with a creak, and a servant dressed in black came out from the inside. He looked up and down first, and then said: "It seems that you don't think you are bad people, how about it, I will take you to the eldest son, he He is practicing at the moment, presumably he will appear to see you soon."
Lin Ruoxi smiled politely, "Then I will thank you!"
"It's okay, this is what I should do."
Madam Situ and Lin Ruoxi didn't say a word, until the old butler brought them to the courtyard and ordered someone to prepare tea and cakes for Madam Situ and Lin Ruoxi.
It was another few hours, and when the sun was about to set, the room in this compound began to make noises.
Both Lin Ruoxi and Mrs. Situ couldn't help but hold their breath, they saw the door opened, and a handsome man came out of the room step by step.
The second update will be delivered at 20:00 this evening!A certain Liu did not live up to expectations. He wrote these words from ten o'clock to one o'clock. When he was sleepy, he almost made many mistakes. Six thousand words were posted first, and there will be an update of ten thousand words in the evening. Thank you for your support, thank you !Good night!
Lin Ruoxi walked around the hall, and finally came to Mrs. Liang, and asked with a serious expression: "Ms. Liang, do you know when your mother became seriously ill?"
Lady Liang replied: "Returning to Miss Situ, the empress suddenly fell ill after the old lady's funeral and returned to Lanxin Palace on the second day. When the imperial doctor came to see her, they all said that the empress was restless and overly emotional. It was caused by excitement, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation, but the empress's body has not improved, and it is getting more and more serious."

Mrs. Situ let out a long sigh, and the tears could not stop falling, but she still did not forget to comfort her: "Your Majesty, don't say any more, I know that you have sacrificed too much for the entire Situ family, but you have regretted it before." Did you marry the emperor for the sake of the entire Situ family?"
Concubine Situ Hui stopped coughing, and waited for her emotions to stabilize, before she said, "I have never regretted it, if time goes back to 20 years ago, I would still have such a choice, and the only person I feel sorry for is him! "
Lin Ruoxi stood aside. Although she didn't know who the concubine Situ Hui and Mrs. Situ were talking about, she could feel that Concubine Situ Hui was a great woman who sacrificed her own happiness for the glory and destiny of her family. In the end, he chose to marry the emperor of Nanjiang. This kind of spirit, probably out of Concubine Situ Hui, few people can really do it.
The Imperial Physician was introduced into the hall by Lady Liang, and Lin Ruoxi snorted coldly: "Master Imperial Physician, although my servant is not as skilled in medicine as your lord, I have seen that Concubine Hui's body was caused by poisoning, and every one of you Everyone agreed that it was caused by Concubine Hui's restlessness and sadness, didn't you do it on purpose?"
After hearing Lin Ruoxi's words, the imperial physician couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, but still pretended not to know: "Miss Situ, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Oh? Is it true that I don't know or is it fake? Let me advise you, my lord physician. Although the empress is very powerful, she is not as powerful as the emperor's authority and power, right? Can you afford to bear the guilt?"
Lin Ruoxi was already covered in cold sweat when she saw the imperial physician, and her body was also trembling, but she still said cold words and threatened: "Don't expect the empress to help you when you are in crisis, she will only be in front of the emperor." Said, these imperial doctors are really useless, or you intend to kill Concubine Hui, you should be executed immediately."
"Do you know why Empress Wu said that?" The imperial physician was already confused, and was even led by the nose by Lin Ruoxi.
"How is this going?"
Lin Ruoxi smiled: "Tell me, if you all know that I have done too many bad things, will I give you a chance to live? I will only kill people to silence them."
As soon as Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, the imperial physician suddenly understood.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy to Concubine Hui, "Concubine Hui, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be too greedy and not treat Concubine Hui well. I beg Concubine Hui to forgive me forever."
Concubine Situ Hui lay on the soft couch and clapped her hands: "There is no need to talk about the past, as long as you can recuperate your body for me!"
The imperial physician nodded, and hurriedly took the pulse of Concubine Situ Hui, and the result of the pulse was just as Lin Ruoxi guessed, Concubine Situ Hui would not last too long, maybe not more than five days.
After he finished speaking, the clothes on his back were drenched with cold sweat.
Concubine Situ Hui seemed to have expected it long ago, and smiled lightly: "Thank you, my lord, for telling the truth in front of me, Miss Liang...for sending me away, my lord!"
"Yes!"
Lady Liang sent the imperial physician away, Madam Situ took Concubine Situ Hui's hand, and patted the back of her hand lightly: "Empress Hui, you can rest assured, I will do my best to do whatever you want me to do for you." Do it...no, I'm going to do it now!"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Situ let go of her hand. Concubine Situ Hui couldn't stop her. She had already walked out of the main hall of Lanxin Palace.
Before Lin Ruoxi left, she made a bow to Concubine Situ Hui: "Empress Hui, you must take care of yourself!"
"Ruoxi, thank you for your concern, I'm fine now..." She looked at Mrs. Situ's disappearing back with some anxiety and said, "Ruoxi, hurry up and kill your mother, I hope she won't do it." Something reckless happened."
"|Okay, I'll go now!"
Lin Ruoxi and Luoxue looked at each other, Luoxue hurriedly accompanied Lin Ruoxi to catch up with Zheng full of anger, and walked towards Empress Wu's birthday ceremony.
Disciples are also severely punished. "Mother, what are you going to do?"
Mrs. Situ snorted coldly: "What am I going to do? I'm going to take off Empress Wu's vicious face!"
"Mother, Ruoxi knows that mother must be very resentful now, but you can't lose your mind at this time, have you ever thought about it? Maybe this is all Empress Wu's set."
"Trap? What other traps can she have?"
Lin Ruoxi analyzed: "The reason why Empress Wu poisoned Concubine Situ Hui had two purposes. First, she wanted to completely defeat Concubine Situ Hui, so that she felt that no one would be like Concubine Hui in the harem. , always hindering her from doing things."
"Secondly, she wanted to trip Concubine Situ Hui, so that King Mao's position in the palace would become weak, and the entire Situ family would also become weak because of Concubine Situ Hui's absence. It happened to take this opportunity , she can annihilate this Situ family in one fell swoop."
"Mother, do you know that Empress Wu is waiting for you to make trouble. On such an important occasion, if you make trouble, the reputation of the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion will be affected, and the emperor will even feel disgusted." And punishment, isn't it because of Empress Wu's shadow?"
Mrs. Situ stopped in her tracks and asked: "Then what should I do? Is it like this, knowing the reason of the matter and still holding back like this, allowing Empress Wu to bully me, then the Pingyang Hou Mansion has become a plaything in her hands?" ?”
"It's good for mother to have such concerns, but Ruoxi thinks that what mother and I should do right now is to help Concubine Situ Hui realize her wish."
When Mrs. Situ heard Lin Ruoxi's words, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, and she even felt that every word Ruoxi said was so correct.
She sighed softly, and finally returned to the seat arranged for Empress Wu's birthday celebration with Lin Ruoxi quietly.
Princess Izumo saw that Lin Ruoxi and Madam Situ had returned safely, so he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned close to Lin Ruoxi's ear, and asked softly, "You and Madam Situ both went to Lanxin Palace, did you encounter any troubles? ?”
Lin Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Izumo, it's nothing serious, you don't have to worry!"
Princess Izumo smiled reassuringly: "It's fine." Suddenly, she whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear nervously: "You have already missed a good show after you left."
Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly, and asked, "What kind of show will make Izumo so happy?"
"Empress Wu has been touching the Fengwu Cangqiongqin beside her just now, but her little finger accidentally touched the Fengwu Cangqiongqin, and there was a loud bang, which made Empress Wu limp on the phoenix chair. The expression on his face was flustered. It seems that we performed well, and Empress Wu has already begun to be fooled."
The smile on Lin Ruoxi's face subsided, and she whispered in Princess Izumo's ear: "I really hope that Empress Wu will be rewarded with evil, and finally die out of fear.
After saying this, Lin Ruoxi looked at Mrs. Situ, only to see Mrs. Situ staring viciously at Empress Wu who was playing the piano again, cursing in her heart, Empress Wu, wait for me, sooner or later you will definitely die in the in my hands.
Empress Wu's birthday ceremony lasted for about three hours, until the emperor waved his hand, and all the people stood up to salute and bid farewell to Empress Wu and the Nanjiang emperor.
Mrs. Situ walked out from the seat on the left, and hurriedly called Situ Yu who was about to leave softly.
Situ Yu asked very curiously: "Madam, what's the matter with you? Why did you call me?"
Mrs. Situ whispered a few words in Situ Yu's ear, and Situ Yu frowned, took the letter that Mrs. Situ handed him, and he strode towards the direction where the emperor disappeared.
"Mother, let's go!"
"it is good!"
Lin Ruoxi took Mrs. Situ's hand, and the two walked out of the hall.
After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Situ asked the coachman to go to a place, and Lin Ruoxi knew that this place must be the residence of the person whom Concubine Situ was more attached to.
After the carriage stopped, Mrs. Situ and Lin Ruoxi got out of the carriage.
Lin Ruoxi raised her eyes and saw a brown wooden door plaque under the eaves of the door, and on the door plaque were engraved with three large golden characters "Ink and Wash House".
Mrs. Situ sighed softly: "Ruoxi, let's go in!"
Lin Ruoxi nodded, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a hoarse voice came from inside after a while: "Who are you all?"
Mrs. Situ replied: "We are all friends of Mr. Ink and Wash!"
The door was opened with a creak, and a servant dressed in black came out from the inside. He looked up and down first, and then said: "It seems that you don't think you are bad people, how about it, I will take you to the eldest son, he He is practicing at the moment, presumably he will appear to see you soon."
Lin Ruoxi smiled politely, "Then I will thank you!"
"It's okay, this is what I should do."
Madam Situ and Lin Ruoxi didn't say a word, until the old butler brought them to the courtyard and ordered someone to prepare tea and cakes for Madam Situ and Lin Ruoxi.
It was another few hours, and when the sun was about to set, the room in this compound began to make noises.
Both Lin Ruoxi and Mrs. Situ couldn't help but hold their breath, they saw the door opened, and a handsome man came out of the room step by step.
