Chapter 432 It’s him
"I understand." She smiled and said, "I will remember the Queen Mother's teachings."
"Forget it, you can go down and settle down first!" The Queen Mother said drowsily, "I am tired. If there is nothing else, please don't bother me."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." After she finished speaking, she followed Eunuch Liu and left.
When Nanny Wang saw her walking away, she whispered, "Empress Dowager, I think the daughter of the King of City is a very well-behaved person. Why did our Emperor punish her?"
The empress dowager said slowly: "What else could it be? Someone must have instigated him. Didn't you hear what she said just now? The emperor ordered Jun Zeqian to attack Tianshun and seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Why would he start a war for no reason?" She sighed: "Our emperor is good in every way except for his one shortcoming of being easily influenced by others." The empress dowager was a little agitated and couldn't help coughing again.
"Your Highness, please don't get angry. The imperial physician said that your condition is most sensitive to anger." Nanny Wang hurriedly calmed her down: "I guess the emperor has a plan."
"What plans do they have? If he really has plans, I will be able to close my eyes even if I die." The Queen Mother said coldly, "Have the Buddhist scriptures of Concubine Xiao been delivered?"
"Noble Concubine Xiao sent someone to deliver it early."
"Hmph, I don't know what the emperor sees in her, a seductive woman's thing." After saying that, she started coughing again.
"My lady, let me help you go back and rest!"
The Queen Mother nodded: "Forget it, forget it, it's just some debts."
Shang Ruoyi came to the side hall, and Eunuch Liu said softly: "Little Princess, you can stay here for the time being!"
"Thank you, eunuch." She smiled, took out a gold leaf and handed it to him: "Please help me during this period of time."
Seeing this, Eunuch Liu smiled even more. This little princess was really generous. He gave her a gold leaf directly: "Thank you for the reward, little princess."
"You're welcome, sir." Shang Ruoyi sat directly on the couch, half leaning back: "I didn't expect it to be so comfortable here."
"As long as you like it, little princess."
"I like it, I like it very much." Shang Ruoyi had a simple smile on her face: "This place is better than the room my father prepared for me. I think the Queen Mother's room is the best in the harem."
Hearing her say this, Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "My little princess, the Queen Mother is devoted to worshipping Buddha and does not like luxury. If we talk about the best palace in the harem, it has to be Concubine Xiao's Chengqian Palace."
"Oh?" Shang Ruoyi said in confusion, "This princess doesn't quite understand. In the harem, shouldn't the most luxurious palace be the residence of the Queen Mother and the Queen? How could it be in the palace of a noble concubine? Could it be that the eunuch is trapping me here because it's my first time in the palace?"
"Oh, how dare I frame you, my little ancestor!" He said with a smile, "You are the prince's biological daughter. The prince has been looking for you for so many years. Now that he has finally found you, he must be protecting you like the apple of his eye. How dare I lie to you?"
"Noble Concubine Xiao, I have seen her today. Although she is beautiful, she is far from being the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"My dear, it's fine to say this here, but don't let others hear it. Imperial Concubine Xiao is the emperor's favorite. Some time ago, a talented person who had just entered the palace offended the Imperial Concubine, and the emperor directly gave her poisoned wine."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "So precious?"
"Of course." Eunuch Liu said softly, "The emperor always says that Concubine Xiao is his lucky star, but strangely enough, the emperor's health has improved since Concubine Xiao entered the palace."
Shang Ruoyi remained calm, but she had some doubts in her heart. How could there be so many coincidences in this world?
She rolled her eyes and said, "I guess the expert the emperor was talking about is Concubine Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu looked around and said softly, "This old servant really knows some secrets."
"Eunuch, tell me what's going on!" She quickly took out a few more gold leaves and stuffed them directly into Eunuch Liu's arms. Anyone with a discerning eye would think that she was a simple-minded girl who only wanted to listen to the fun.
Eunuch Liu naturally had no suspicion and said with a smile, "This old servant also heard it accidentally. Concubine Xiao did find an expert for the emperor. She knows everything about astronomy and geography, and can call the wind and rain. It is for this reason that the emperor likes her so much."
"My father-in-law made it sound so amazing, I am a little skeptical."
"I just heard about it, and I think it's a bit exaggerated."
"Where did this master come from? Where does he live now?"
"This, I don't know."
Just then, a young eunuch came over and said, "Eunuch, the Queen Mother is looking for you!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu hurriedly left with the young eunuch.
When she was the only one left in the room, the smile on Shang Ruoyi's face suddenly disappeared.
This expert was introduced to the emperor by Concubine Xiao.
How could she, an unmarried girl, meet such a great man?
What is the secret behind this?
At this time, in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xiao was lying on her side on the concubine couch, and a gray figure was sitting next to her.
"What's wrong with you? We finally have a chance to be alone together, but you refuse to say a word to me." Concubine Xiao said in a delicate voice, "Could it be that you have someone new these days?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The man said in a deep voice, "The woman in the Imperial Garden today."
When Concubine Xiao heard this, her eyes turned fierce: "Why, are you interested?"
"No."
"Why is that?" Concubine Xiao sat up from the couch: "You looked so worried when you came here today. It seems that you were thinking about other women."
"Hey." He turned around, looked at her and said, "How could I possibly be interested in another woman? And she's a married woman at that."
He gnashed his teeth and said, "Even if she kneeled down to beg me, I wouldn't even bother to look at her."
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "How do you know she is married?"
"Even if she turned into ashes, I would still be able to recognize her." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the black scar on his arm: "See? This is where she stabbed me with a needle."
This person was He Jinghe who had disappeared for a long time.
"She is He Jingheng's Crown Prince's Consort?"
"That's right." He Jinghe whispered, "She is a very smart person. If we were not alert today, she might have discovered what happened between you and me." The most important thing is, if she knew that he is now the Heavenly Master of the Western Regions, it would be bad.
"I will go back to the sect for a few days, and come back after she leaves." When He Jinghe thought of Shang Ruoyi, he was frightened from the bottom of his heart, as if the needles that had pierced him were still in his body, and the wounds began to ache again.
