"The concubine came here today for one purpose only. I beg Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning Gui to save my parents and siblings!"

As soon as Xia Ruoqing said this, it was true that Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu would pick it up, or not.After being silent for a while, it was Su Lingyu who broke the awkward silence first, and said softly: "Concubine Jing, forgive me for not being able to understand what I said. We are all concubines in the harem of His Majesty, and sisters are the same as concubines by position, and sisters by age when entering the palace. I have been a concubine for several years, and your Majesty loves my sister very much. No one in the palace knows about it? Besides, the concubine Shu and the concubine have heard about the matter of the noble concubine Jing, but it is a matter of the previous dynasty, we don't know. Yes. People in the harem are not involved in government affairs, this is a rule set by Nantang long ago, how can concubine Shu and concubine He De dare to ask sister to perform such a great gift and make such a request?"

Xia Ruoqing raised her head, her expression was gloomy, and she said sadly: "This concubine is really desperate when she comes here today. You two don't need to talk anymore. How can Xia Ruoqing's situation today be unknown with your intelligence? I have also begged for it before. Your Majesty, although His Majesty did not reprimand the concubine for the sake of being a child of a man, but whenever the concubine mentioned this matter, His Majesty would mention it in one word, and he did not want to talk about it. Besides, the former government is busy with government affairs, and His Majesty rarely comes to the harem. It's hard to even see His Majesty. My parents are old, my younger siblings are weak, and the wind and thunder prison is dark and cold. My concubine is really worried every night, and I can't sleep. After thinking about it, I think the two most glorious people in this palace are none other than these two. The younger sister of Concubine Ning is pregnant, and His Majesty will often come to visit her even if she is busy. I only ask my sister to speak well for my family, but I beg for their death penalty. Think about it. Concubine... Concubine is really helpless, I beg you two to be kind!"

Xia Ruoqing spoke earnestly, and then wept bitterly, then knocked her head on the ground.Fu Liuying, who was beside her, also felt sympathy for her, with tears in her eyes, followed Xia Ruoqing to go through the state ceremony, and choked up and said: "You two ladies, my concubine knows that what I did today is not right, but Gaotang is in trouble. Concubine Jinggui is not lacking in filial piety as a woman, and the concubine really cannot just sit back and watch Concubine Jinggui worry. Whose family does not have a high figure in power? Parents have worked hard to raise the youngest son for more than ten years. I can no longer serve filial piety at home. The concubine knows that this is difficult, and the concubine’s humble status is not liked by His Majesty, so she can only beg the two empresses with a shy face. Concubine Ning Gui, please look at the love that I had with my concubine in the past. Please help Concubine Jing!" "Xia Ruoqing begs the two of you, and only asks for some comfort in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty will decide whether you succeed or not. I will also repay the deep kindness with the two of you!"

Jun Yihuang stared condescendingly at every expression of Xia Ruoqing's, unwilling to let go of a single bit of it, repeatedly pondering Xia Ruoqing's intentions in her heart.Judging from her words and performance, it seemed that Xia Ruoqing had come to Yufeng Palace for help after being cornered, and there was no flaw.But Xia Ruoqing is not stupid, and she also knows that Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu are not stupid. At this moment, everyone in the case of the Xia family wishes to be as far away as possible. There was little contact between the three of them before, so why should Xia Ruoqing Do you think that crying can persuade the two of them to set themselves on fire?Or did she really think too much and Xia Ruoqing just went to the doctor in a hurry?If it were someone else, Jun Yihuang would still believe it, but this is Xia Ruoqing.With Xia Ruoqing's temperament, would she really do such a thing like rushing to the doctor? "Niang Niang!" Fu Liuying saw Jun Yihuang's expression was cold, and she was always afraid of this lofty concubine Shu, so she could only turn her eyes to Su Lingyu.Unexpectedly, Su Ningyu also frowned, without saying a word. "Jing Gui, Fu Gui." After thinking for a long time, Jun Yihuang didn't come to a result, and she couldn't keep wasting like this, so she said: "Everyone is a harem sister, you get up first. You also know that His Majesty is busy with government affairs recently. I'm in a bad mood, and I don't even have time to enter the harem. Even if I come here occasionally, I'm extremely upset, and I don't want to hear about the affairs of the previous court. Concubine Jing, why don't you wait until the turmoil passes and your majesty's mood improves, and then we can discuss it in detail How is it?"

Although these words were extremely euphemistic, the inner meaning was very clear, Xia Ruoqing and Fu Liuying couldn't hear it.Fu Liuying was waiting to beg again, but Xia Ruoqing pulled Fu Liuying's sleeve, bit her lips and said softly: "I know that I have no friendship with the two of you, and this matter is really difficult, so it's normal that I can't make a decision for a while. As long as the two concubines are willing to help the concubine persuade Your Majesty , no matter what requests you two have, I will definitely do my best to fulfill them."

After finishing speaking, Xia Ruoqing got up from the ground, supported Fu Liuying again, wiped away her tears with a silk handkerchief, bowed her head and said softly: "The concubine came suddenly, disturbing the peace of the two of you. Sister Ning Gui is pregnant and easily tired , my concubine saw that she looked tired, so I will go back today. I just ask you two to be merciful, Ruoqing is very grateful."

Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu had been looking forward to the sudden departure of the plague god, but now that she is willing to leave, how can she keep guests?After a few polite words, he called someone to send him out.

When everyone left the guest room and only Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu were left in the room, Su Lingyu let out a heavy breath, limp down and slumped in the chair, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't feel it before, why do I feel it now? As soon as you talk to this noble concubine, your back is covered with thorns, and you break out in a cold sweat?" "She came so suddenly, you and I were unprepared. Yu'er, do you think Xia Ruoqing's words just now can be believed? How much?" "Xia Ruoqing entered the palace on the [-]th, because most of the people she had made friends with in the past left her because of the Xia family's affairs. Although He Lanfu was favored for a while, he was a master who easily offended others. Xia Ruoqing has no one in the palace right now. Ke Yi, logically speaking, there is no flaw in what she said just now." "I couldn't detect the flaw either, but I still feel that her arrival this time is too strange. I always feel that there is something I didn't expect .”

Su Lingyu smiled, got up and stood beside Jun Yihuang, and gently rubbed Jun Yihuang's temples with her fingertips: "Well, no matter what she wants to do, she is gone now anyway, and nothing happened , why bother to think about it so much? Maybe she really came to ask us for help? You seem to care about nothing on the surface, but you can't calm down in your heart. You want to think about everything thoroughly, and you will grow old quickly Well." "You just have a big heart! I'm fine with you, what's your situation now? Can you be careless?" "Yes, I know you are good to me." Su Ningyu pinched Jun Yihuang's cheek with a smile, and said : "Xia Ruoqing just made a fuss, and I'm really tired. Da Tang, how about taking a nap with me?" Really push people away?Naturally, while talking about it, he went back to Nuan Pavilion and fell asleep with him.

The two of Jun Yihuang originally thought that the turmoil would be over like this, but they didn't think it was too beautiful.Only two days had passed since the clean days, and from the third day onwards, Xia Ruoqing kept handing in invitations.

It's fine if it's just a post, but Xia Ruoqing didn't wait for a reply, but came directly to Yufeng Palace.If the post was not answered, she would stand at the gate of Yufeng Palace without intrusion or disturbance, like a wooden carving, and she could stand for half a day at a time.One or two days is fine, Xia Ruoqing is like this every day, and Yufeng Palace is now the most lively place in the palace, gossip immediately increased.Those who secretly ridiculed Xia Ruoqing's servility must know that Su Hong is now the most enthusiastic person in the faction to impeach the Xia family. Xia Ruoqing can beg for mercy from Su Lingyu regardless of her father's life and death. It is really despicable and shameless.But more is said that Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu relied on the favor of Nanzhao Emperor to fly domineeringly and defiantly.No matter how bad the Xia family was, Xia Ruoqing was still a noble concubine after all, and she left a second-rank noble concubine outside the palace wall to be exposed to the wind and sun all day long. This shelf was really higher than the sky.

Although these words were only passed on secretly, they were passed on a lot, and they naturally reached Jun Yihuang's ears.Jun Yihuang also knew that it was wrong to keep Xia Ruoqing out, so she had no choice but to let Su Lingyu stay in the Nuan Pavilion and see her.

There was no other excuse for seeing Xia Ruoqing again, it was still the same as before.Jun Yihuang has said all the good things and bad things, but Xia Ruoqing seems to be determined after eating the weight, and continues to visit the door every day to hand out invitations.

The number of times came too much, Jun Yihuang could refuse five times, but the remaining five times had to go through a formality to meet the previous one.Later, Xia Ruoqing neither mentioned the matter of begging for love, nor deliberately got close to Jun Yihuang, but just sat in the guest room with frowns deeply locked in a daze.Jun Yihuang was so happy that her ears were clear, she didn't talk too much, she sat on the upper seat holding the book and read it carefully.

Later, Xia Ruoqing not only came by herself, but sometimes He Lanfu was also brought along.Fortunately, He Lanfu is not a talkative person, Jun Yihuang loves to read, and there are often a few books in the living room, and He Lanfu will pick them up to read when he is bored.Jun Yihuang will comment on all the books she has read, but some of them have incisive insights in a few words. He Lanfu has read a lot, and sometimes she will take the initiative to ask Jun Yihuang for advice.

Su Lingyu got a Guqin score this day, and was studying fingering with Jun Yihuang in the warm pavilion.The two were arguing over the same tune, when Qingxiao lifted the curtain and came in again.As soon as Su Lingyu looked up and saw Qingxiao's expression, she immediately understood: "Why, Xia Ruoqing is here again?"

"Yes, Concubine Jinggui and Lan Jieyu came together, this is a greeting card."

Su Lingyu looked at the greeting post, turned to look at Jun Yihuang, and said with a broken smile: "Isn't this Concubine Jing changed by a dog skin plaster in her previous life? You can't even shake it off."

"I also can't figure out what she is going to do." Jun Yihuang put down the piano score and stood up, but she couldn't help shaking.

Su Lingyu and Qingxiao were startled, and hurried forward to help them.Jun Yihuang steadied herself, and seeing the tense expressions of the two, she couldn't help laughing and said: "It's okay, it's probably because people feel dizzy after reading the piano score for a long time."

"Are you sure it's all right? In half an hour, Imperial Physician Sun will come to take my pulse, and then let him show you."

"It's really okay, I just fainted." Jun Yihuang smiled, and helped Su Lingyu sit down instead, "You are the one who needs to be careful, don't jump around all day, what do you look like?"

"Qingxiao, Concubine Shu is not feeling well, go and return everyone who came today." Su Lingyu glared at Jun Yihuang, first ordered Qingxiao to let her leave, and then continued: "What do you mean by being careful?" Is it me? You are not a mortal body that will not get sick? You must be afraid of taking medicine, so you don’t want to see a doctor without telling it, right? "

"I'm really not sick..." In the middle of speaking, Jun Yihuang saw that Su Lingyu's eyes were round, so she had to change her words: "I'll let him feel the pulse later..."

"What other symptoms besides dizziness? How long has it been?"

"No... but it's only been five or six days. I feel a little irritable for no reason, and I can't sleep well. That's why I'm dizzy. It's probably caused by restlessness. It's nothing serious. Don't worry about it."

"It's only five or six days? I told you not to think about it all day, but you will not listen!"

"But Xia Ruoqing comes here every day. If she says she has no plans, I don't think so. If she says she has plans, she doesn't do anything. She even chooses the seat in the farthest corner..."

"Still pondering!"

At this moment, Su Lingyu not only stared, but also bared two small front teeth.Jun Yihuang couldn't help but laugh, and was afraid that Su Lingyu would become angry from embarrassment, so she hurriedly opened the piano score that had just been put down, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't think about it anymore, let's see the piano score is finished, shall we?"

"No, since you are dizzy, how about I accompany you to rest for a while?"

"Forget it, you also said that Imperial Doctor Sun is coming in half an hour, so I fell asleep and won't wake up later."

Su Lingyu lowered her head and thought, it is indeed so, so she no longer forced Jun Yihuang to sleep, but just took the piano score in front of her in front of her, frowned and said: "It's okay if you don't sleep, but looking at the piano score is still annoying, you Just don't look at it. I'll check the previous paragraph and see if I can fill in the words first."

Jun Yihuang smiled slightly, rolled up her wide sleeves and rubbed the inkstone, while Su Lingyu busily unfolded the rice paper and placed the paperweight.Su Lingyu was about to lift the wolf hair properly, but seeing that the ink was not ready, she could only sit there and wait.

Jun Yihuang stared at the inkstone, seemingly carelessly, and said softly, "Yu'er, why are you being so nice to me?"

"I remember I asked you that."

"Yes, I answered you that day, now it's up to you to answer me."

Su Lingyu's pen nib, which was testing ink, paused, and raised her head to look at Jun Yihuang, her eyes darkened: "What kind of answer do you want to know?"

"Could it be that there are several types of answers?"

"Inside the palace, the courtyard is deep, the family is not there, the sisters support, and the love is naturally deep. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Ah."

Su Lingyu was bored for a while, but before waiting for the follow-up, she couldn't help asking: "Do you want to know other answers?"

"Ah."

The ink had been worn thick enough, Su Lingyu held the wolf brush covered with thick ink, and the tip of the pen slid across the rice paper, her wrist trembled slightly, and there were many small branches on both sides of the black marks on the rice paper.

Su Lingyu stabilized her wrist, took a deep breath, put down her hair, moved to sit opposite Jun Yihuang, put one hand on her belly, and said softly: "I don't actually want this child."

Jun Yihuang frowned slightly, and asked, "What?"

"I don't actually like children. Before I entered the palace, I had the idea of ​​always being with the green lantern." Su Lingyu's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled slightly, "But I know that's impossible. My father said he would definitely send me off." Entering the palace. Before entering the palace, my mother also told me that in the harem, children are the most favorable guarantee for a stable position. I laughed and didn't answer at the time, because if I have to give birth to a child, I also hope that it will be with the person I love .”

Su Lingyu looked at her belly that was still flat under her long skirt, and continued: "Your Majesty was extremely dangerous when he seized the heirloom in the past, and the Empress and Empress never left her. The relationship between them is not limited to husband and wife, but also a friendship between them. Even though she ascended to the throne with a somewhat similar face to the Empress, she never got involved in their hearts. Your Majesty is not the person I like, and this child... I don't have much expectations."

"Could it be that Yu'er, you have another sweetheart?" Jun Yihuang didn't seem to care about Su Lingyu's rebellious words just now, and her questioning voice was still indifferent.

"That's right. I guard this child with all my heart, not only for the sake of being a mother, but also for a person." Su Lingyu raised her head, stared at Jun Yihuang who was still concentrating on studying ink, and said, "Because your majesty has few heirs, If this child can be born and raised safely, it will not only keep me safe for the rest of my life, but also keep that person safe in this life. I hope that I can set up a world in this harem and protect her around her, no matter what happens to her , I can protect her comprehensively, make her rich and prosperous, and live a stable life."

Jun Yihuang paused for a while while studying ink, and finally put down the ink ingot in her hand.

"Do you still want to hear this answer?"

"..."

"If it weren't for her, Su Lingyu would have been reduced to a lonely ghost wandering in the underworld." Su Lingyu seemed to be talking to herself, and continued: "I often think that this is a fate that was destined in the previous life." , no matter what your identity is or where you are, you will eventually meet him after going around." "Is it destined to be karma in the previous life? Maybe." Jun Yihuang sighed softly.

Su Lingyu's increasingly lonely eyes suddenly brightened after this sigh, and called out in a trembling voice: "Yihuang!"

"Ah."

"You really don't mind...?"

Jun Yihuang raised her head and met Su Lingyu's eyes. Although her smile was very light, Wen Xi was the same as before.

"Why should I mind? A person's life is like a white horse passing by. What I want is to have someone with one heart and one heart, and never leave each other."

"If... If I say, if you want this life, you also want the next life?"

Jun Yihuang caressed Su Lingyu's cheek with her fingers, and then slid to a strand of long hair hanging from Su Lingyu's shoulder, slowly wrapped the hair around her fingertips tightly, and could never separate it again: "If you ask, you will be able to do so in this life." In the afterlife, everything is promised to you."
