Qingchuan History

Chapter 57
Ruan Xueyin did not expect her to say that.Because admitting it is not beneficial to her, even very detrimental.

But this statement is also clever, because it points out two things at the same time: first, she knows Sishu Zhan; second, she is sure, or pretends to be sure, that Gu Xinglang's life was saved by Ruan Xueyin this time.

Ruan Xueyin didn't have time and didn't want to deny it anymore, because the denial was already very weak.As Gu Xinglang said, it is very unusual for her to wait on illness for five consecutive days. If the other party had the intention to observe, she would have been exposed long ago.

So he stopped covering up and turned from defense to offense.

"Are you really the Shangguan concubine?"

It's ironic that the other party asked me the same thing two months ago.

Shangguan's concubine smiled peacefully, without any trace of panic, "It's true. I can stand the investigation of my sister or anyone."

Ruan Xueyin stared at her face, confirming that the other party's expression was open and there was no trace of lying.

"Sir Shangguan is really good at raising children. The only jewel in his palm, the number one beauty in Wei country, is not only talented, but also studies pharmacology and medicine, which is really rare among the daughters of aristocratic families. But where did Mrs. Jin learn from?"

Shangguan Concubine Yanran, "It's not Mrs. Ji Ji after all. I don't have the good luck of my sister and Mr. Jing."

"But Venerable Master must also be a great healer. If it weren't for you, I thought there were only three people in the world who knew Si Shu Zhan."

Shangguan concubine just smiled and said nothing.

"It's just that you said these things to me, so you're not afraid of me telling your majesty?"

Really ironic.Three months ago when she first entered Pishuang Palace, Ji Wanling also asked her this question.

Shangguan's concubine's expression became a little complicated, "I don't admit it, and I'm afraid my sister has already suspected me. Otherwise, your majesty won't stay in the Boiled Rain Palace for a month."

"Your Majesty's failure to enter the Boiled Rain Palace is not because of the illness last month."

"That's because Yantao is drunk."

Ruan Xueyin was speechless.She's smarter than she thinks.

"Sister Pei's ability is really unfathomable. The world only knows that you can watch the stars, but they don't know that your medical skills are comparable to a master. Presumably this is also one of the secrets of Pengxi Mountain? Then with my sister's ability, I must also know that Yantao is drunk. It’s just that my sister has no heart to fight for favor, so why should she go to the imperial court to complain and drive a wedge between your lord and me?”

Ruan Xueyin didn't know how to explain this.She did tell Gu Xinglang, but she didn't expect that Gu Xinglang would have a heart knot because of this, so he treated her coldly, and she even spoke justice for her.

But what to say about these things?That is to say, how could she believe it?

"I heard that Your Majesty has not been to Cailu Palace recently. He also told you last night that you are busy with things recently. You may be overwhelmed."

Shangguan concubine sneered, "Your Majesty sees you every day, so how can you miss us?"

It wasn't until this moment that Ruan Xueyin faintly felt that something was wrong.

The other side digressed.

She originally thought that she came here to spy on her as a side of the Wei Kingdom. Although she also exposed the fact that she was proficient in medicine at the same time, from the logic of exchanging secrets for secrets, it was not a loss.

She even thought that she would use this as an entrance to find out step by step the real reason why she came to Qi Palace, and even try to figure out her or Peng Xishan's position on the situation in Qingchuan.

Who would have thought that the topic would change suddenly, but she actually focused on Gu Xinglang.

"Although I come from the Kingdom of Wei, I have also concealed my knowledge of medicine, but I have been in the palace for half a year, and I have never done anything that would harm him. The boss has a rift against me, it seems that my sister has changed her mind and decided to fight for favor."

She spoke quickly and emphatically, her sweet and glutinous voice was much shriller than usual, and it came out like pearls falling on a jade plate, and her pretty face was slightly flushed because of emotional ups and downs.

Ruan Xueyin was a little confused.She didn't understand this logic, and she didn't know why she was suspected of competing for favor.She didn't go to bed at all.

She looked at Shangguan Concubine's cloudy face, and sighed in her heart.

The teacher said that women can never escape the word love.Therefore, the ruthless Xeon is strong because there is no weakness.

Sure enough.

Regardless of whether Shangguan concubine brought a mission into Qi Palace or not, judging by her appearance today, she must have been sincerely moved by Gu Xinglang.

She suddenly felt sad for everyone on the chessboard.

Since you want to fight, why should you be affectionate?
Only now did she fully understand what Gu Xinglang said last night: it's all very sad.Others can fight openly or secretly, but those who are bound and married are destined to fight between love and hate, joy and sorrow, sincerity and hypocrisy.

And these are completely opposite emotions.

Everything has not started yet.But who knows how long the sunny days will last?

Unprecedented, she felt some pity for Shangguan's concubine.

"If you came today to ask me if I would compete for favor, then I told Xirun that I would not. Believe it or not, I never thought of separating your relationship with the king. Besides," she hesitated for a moment, I think there is nothing to say,
"If Lord Shangguan or even His Majesty Wei Jun want to know my position, I can also tell you: Pengxi Mountain is neutral, and I am the same as the teacher. As for why I came to Qi Palace, it is my teacher's business, and there is no need to ask you Confession."

It was Shangguan's turn to be stunned.

Of course she wanted to know Ruan Xueyin's position, because it was her father's request.

She thought it would be a protracted battle, because so far, the two countries, Yin and Wei, have not reached any joint vertical agreement, and there is not even such a momentum.So no matter whether Ruan Xueyin will help Yinguo or not, it has nothing to do with Weiguo, so there is no need to let her know.

But she actually expressed her attitude on this.

neutral.Then what are you doing in Qi Palace?She doesn't know the art of war, nor is she good at strategy, but the basic logic is complete: shouldn't a neutral person stay in a corner and wait and see what happens?
"Mr. Jing joined Cangwu five years ago, and has been assisting you until now." Naturally referring to Murong Xun, "Pengxishan's position is incomprehensible."

"Is this what your father said?"

Shangguan concubine hesitated for a moment, "Yes."

Ruan Xueyin replied calmly: "She did go to help His Majesty Wei Jun, and will continue to help. You don't have to worry about this, let alone doubt her because you can't figure it out."

Shangguan concubine smiled wryly, "Your Majesty obeys Mr. Jing's words, a counselor actually lives in the palace, who dares to doubt her?" She took a deep breath, as if sighing:
"Sir Jiji's two students are really stronger than the other. Before the Lord defended you, he didn't even enter the door of the Zhexue Palace, but now he picks you up every night to the Lantern Palace."

Again.

Ruan Xueyin was speechless.She couldn't explain to her why she went every night, not even herself.Obviously just those two or three things, what exactly are he and her talking about?Even, since last night, she had to go every night to read those three books.

But there are two things she really wants to ask her.One out of need, one out of curiosity.
