Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 76

"You can't protect me at all, you'll only be a burden to me!" Rong Huang didn't expect that the ruthless words would come out so smoothly.Seeing the young man's injured expression, she actually felt uncomfortable, but the long-term pain is better than the short-term pain. It seems that she didn't give up Rong Ruo's hope last time, that's why he was so impulsive.

If she was not Niu Hulu Ronghuang but just an ordinary girl, seeing such an outstanding and dedicated young man, she would definitely throw herself into his arms without hesitation and love and pity him in every possible way.But now... She smiled slightly, sticking out a message like a gorgeous poisonous tongue: "Or, you just want to be my secret lover...?"

Having said that, she raised her hand and stroked his face gently.Rong Ruo dodged like an electric shock.The moonlight reflected his face paler, Rong Huang clearly saw the look of near despair flashing in his eyes, his body was trembling slightly, as if hiding a wild beast on the verge of madness.

She took two steps back in fear, staring at Rong Ruo vigilantly, for fear that he would do something irrational again.But he didn't expect him to be motionless, just looking straight at her like that.Rong Huang panicked, bit her lip to gather herself, turned around and left without hesitation.

When she returned to the entrance of the main hall and looked back, she found that Rong Ruo hadn't caught up.While she was relieved, a faint sense of loss was unavoidable in her heart.

"Master..." Jing Yi quietly walked to her side.

Rong Huang's complexion was not very good-looking, on such a cold night, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.She nodded: "Well, Liu Qing is here? Come in with Bengong."

Liu Qing saluted and followed Rong Huang into the back room.Jing Yi closed the door intimately.

Rong Huang leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, and suddenly clapped her hands three times.In the blink of an eye, a person who was almost the same color as the roof jumped down from the roof.

Liu Qing was startled, but didn't make a sound.She was surprised not because Rong Huang also had hidden guards, but because Rong Huang summoned his subordinates in front of her!Does this... represent Rong Huang's trust in her?

When Liu Qing was in doubt, Rong Huang said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Qin Gu."

The man was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Rong Huang to know her name: "Yes, that's the subordinate...the previous name." After she spoke, Liu Qing realized that it was a woman!But after thinking about it, it's true, if the person staying in Ronghuang's bedroom is also a man, it's obviously not suitable.

"Qingu, you go out first, call the hidden guards at the gate of Yikun Palace and the garden, let Jingyi lead you to the east wing, I have something to say."

Qin Gu hesitated for a moment, because most of the hidden guards were men, and she was the only one guarding Rong Huang's bedroom, even though she only left for a while under the master's order, she still felt a little uneasy.But she couldn't find a reason to refute, and she didn't dare to have the slightest objection, so she could only respond: "Yes." After speaking, she quickly jumped out of the window and left.

Rong Huang seemed to be relieved, and waved to Liu Qing: "Qing'er, come here."

Liu Qing faintly felt that something important was about to happen, so she couldn't help holding her breath, and walked quickly to Rong Huang.

"If I remember correctly, the last master you followed in the Shunzhi Dynasty was Emperor Guifei Tong." Concubine Tong was also the queen who was later crowned queen, and the sister of Liu Qing's current master, Dowager Wangui.

"Yes." Liu Qing's heart skipped a beat, not knowing why she suddenly brought up her old master.

Rong Huang leaned over slightly, staring at her closely, never leaving her. "As far as I know, this empress left the palace alive, don't you think so?"

Liu Qing trembled all over, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, you..."

Rong Huang squinted her eyes: "Qing'er, never lie to me. I just want to hear you tell the truth by withdrawing the hidden guards."

"Yes, indeed." After staying in the harem for so many years, Liu Qing rarely trembled like this.She is not stupid, she immediately understood Rong Huang's intentions, and said in surprise: "Could it be that your mother..."

Rong Huang lowered his eyes, his slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings.

"Liu Qing, aren't you tired after fighting for so many years? At your age, if you go out of the palace to marry someone, you will have children already around your knees." There is a characteristic of time-traveling women, most of their minds stay at the psychological age they just time-traveled.However, the actual age of Liu Qing's body is now over thirty.

Liu Qing was stunned when he heard the words.Completely stunned.

She is different from Rong Huang, she came here through time travel because of her strong desire for Gong Dou.Due to her ugly appearance, she couldn't directly become a concubine, so she had to assist her master to get promoted, so as to make up for the regret in her heart.It is true that with the rise of the master, she has become more and more respected, but... After more than ten years, is she really not tired?Is this kind of life really what she wants?
The former Liu Qing never considered this issue, because she has been used to this way of life for so many years.But looking back, it's quite boring to think about it. There are people in their thirties, and they are not the little girl who likes to read Gongdou's novels before.Maybe she should really think about the future, after all, no matter how favored the master is, she won't be the one with the glory.

What Rong Huang said now seems to have nothing to do with her own purpose, but it is paving the way for her to escape in the future.

Liu Qing was a shrewd and almost terrifying court lady, Rong Huang couldn't bear to kill her cruelly, so he could only find a way to bring her out of the palace as well.Of course, she will not have any intersection with Liu Qing again.Liu Qing is like a ticking time bomb, Rong Huang has to find a way to throw her farther away.Stay away from yourself, and stay away from the Forbidden City.

Liu Qing understood Rong Huang's meaning at a glance: "This slave girl is so old, and she doesn't look amazing, and she doesn't expect to be able to support her husband and raise her children. But when she goes out of the palace to return to her hometown, she will build a few houses and raise two children. It's a good choice."

Rong Huang looked at her calmly, and said with a smile: "There is no rush, you can think about it slowly. Let me first tell Ben Gong about Concubine Tong's departure from the palace."

Liu Qing suddenly showed a look of hesitation: "Mother, Concubine Tong was different from you now." Liu Qing was alone, and she left as soon as she left. Qing still feels very sorry. "At that time, Concubine Tong was seriously poisoned, and she didn't have much time left. She feigned death and left the palace to..."

"To accompany Emperor Daxing. In fact, Lord Shunzhi was still angry when he left the palace, right." Seeing Liu Qing pause, Rong Huang couldn't help answering the words impatiently.The group of hidden guards moved very quickly, and they would become suspicious after a long time.

Now Liu Qing has gradually gotten used to the fact that Rong Huang knows all the secrets in the palace, so she continued without changing her face and heartbeat: "That's right, since you know that Concubine Tong left the palace with Lord Shunzhi, you should Knowing this, the Empress Dowager also knows about it. With the Empress Dowager stepping forward to cover up people, this matter has become much easier."

Rong Huang raised his eyebrows: "Are you trying to remind me that it would be even more difficult to escape privately?"

Liu Qing buried her head even lower: "Master is wise, there is no need for slaves to remind me." In fact, Liu Qing still admires Rong Huang very much in her heart. She also thought about it carefully in the dead of night. Back then, her master Concubine Tong was considered a Gongdou She is the ultimate master, she tried so hard to fight against her fate, but she was still held in Xiaozhuang's hands.But Rong Huang was different. Although she was not as cruel as Concubine Tong, she just rightly changed everything so naturally... Seemingly unintentional, she had actually changed history greatly.

This was also one of the reasons why Liu Qing considered leaving the palace.In the past, relying on her familiarity with history, she thought that she could go smoothly in the palace, but now it is very different.History has changed, which means that she, a time-traveling woman who could predict her fate, is worthless.

I don't know if Rong Huang also has the same idea?Or is there another secret?Liu Qing suddenly had an impulse in her heart, she really wanted to ask Rong Huang if you came here through time travel, but she didn't dare.

Because she knew that although Rong Huang was not particularly cruel, she also had a bottom line.

Once she asked that sentence, it meant that she was not far from death.

Department
"Actually, the Empress Dowager may not necessarily want me to stay in the palace." Rong Huang actually laughed when he said this. "You are the person next to the noble concubine, she reminded me about the matter, you should be clear about it."

Liu Qing didn't dare to hide it: "The empress dowagers of the two palaces did give her medicine..."

"Your news is well-informed. Yes, the musk in the Palace of Compassion and Ning and the Bizi Tang in the Palace have been stopped. But I would like to thank them for putting in so much weight when I first entered the palace, so that I I don’t have any worries when I leave now.” Rong Huang showed disdain: “I’m really sick of the empress dowager’s hypocrisy, why, now that I’ve stopped the medicine, I’m going to treat her Are you grateful? If I have really used that medicine for the past two years, I’m afraid she would have been sterilized already? Even if she is lucky enough to give birth to a child, the root cause of the disease will still fall!"

Realizing that her emotions were a little out of control, Rong Huang bit her lips and said in a low voice: "So she didn't want Ben Gong to enter the palace to be her trouble at all... If Ben Gong disappeared, her old man would wish for it. Of course , she not only hopes that Ben Gong will not appear in the palace again, but probably wants Ben Gong to disappear from this world!"
