"Sister, why do you say that?" Ruoqin frowned and asked Zhi Ran. Zhi Ran sighed and shook her head.
"Is Big Sister suspecting Little Sister again?”Ruoqin stared at Zhi Ran and frowned. Then, she said," That 'mute medicine' doesn't exist at all!”
"How do you know about the mute medicine?" Zhi Ran turned to look at Ruoqin.
Ruoqin realized that she had let it slip and quickly said,""My imperial physician said so."
"Who is your imperial physician?"
" Yes…" Ruoqin was speechless.
"Only Imperial Physician Wei knows about the 'mute medicine'. Even he only heard about it, so how did you know? Since there is such a brilliant imperial physician, why not introduce him to bengong?”Zhi Ran pressed on tightly.
Ruoqin couldn't sit still anymore. Her eyes started to panic. She placed one hand unnaturally on the table and gripped her handkerchief tightly with the other. "I…I am…"
"You're lying, aren't you?" Zhi Ran stared into Ruoqin's eyes and asked.
" I..." Ruoqin looked at Zhi Ran in horror. After their eyes met, she quickly dodged.
"The reason Consort Dun became mute was because of you, right?”Zhi Ran frowned and asked urgently.
Ruoqin panicked. She didn't know if she should admit it, but when she looked up and saw Zhi Ran's gaze, she knew that this matter had been discovered. Helplessly, Ruoqin lowered her head and held her handkerchief with both hands as she nodded.
"Why…?" Zhi Ran didn't expect Ruoqin to be so cruel." Didn't I tell you time and time again not to do that to her? Even if you hate her to the bone, there's no need to force her, right?”
"Leaving an escape route for the enemy is digging your own grave!”Tears flowed from Ruoqin's eyes as she shouted hoarsely," Why is it that she and I were both Chang Zai when we first entered the palace, and now she's a consort, high and mighty, while I'm just a small noble? Why does she have an heir now while I have nothing! "If I had a daughter, I would be willing…" Ruoqin choked after saying that.
Zhi Ran's heart softened when she heard this. Indeed, Ruoqin hadn't been favored by the Emperor for a long time, and Guan Ling was domineering and arrogant. It was inevitable that Ruoqin would feel resentment in her heart. Thinking of this, Zhi Ran reached out her hand and wiped Ruoqin's tears. Ruoqin looked up at Zhi Ran in surprise. Zhi Ran turned her face away and stared ahead. She said calmly,"Don't do this again in the future."
Ever since Guan Ling lost her voice, she had not slept with him. The Empress was sick, so Imperial Concubine Xian often coaxed Yongzhi. Zhiran was pregnant, so the Emperor often visited Wanrou and the other palace maids. However, he still did not go to Ruoqin's Jingyang Palace. Ruoqin was extremely disappointed. She also wanted to learn from Guan Ling, so she had specially learned a few songs for the Emperor, waiting for him to come. However, Scenic Yang Palace had always been deserted.
"Scenic Yang Palace is so deserted at night.”Ruoqin stood at the entrance of the Daixia Palace and looked into the courtyard.
"Master, when autumn arrives, there will be a new young master entering the palace. At that time, there will definitely be people here.”Guxue said as she draped a piece of clothing over Ruoqin.
"There will be a new talent next year. Maybe he will be conferred the title of noble once he enters the palace. "You've been in the palace for nine years, but you're just a noble…" Ruoqin sneered and turned around to enter the house. Guxue looked at her and closed the curtain to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the room.
"I originally thought that Consort Dun's voice had gone hoarse, so the Emperor would come to my place. Who knew that the Emperor would no longer step into Scenic Yang Palace.”Ruoqin sat on the couch while Guxue served her a cup of tea to warm her up.
In Yi Kun Palace, Guan Ling wasn't any better. Ever since Guan Ling's voice had gone hoarse, the Emperor had not come back. Thinking that in a few months, the Emperor would have a new favorite, Guan Ling gnashed her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. "Perhaps this is a punishment from the heavens.”Guan Ling hugged Princess He Xiao and muttered to herself,"I have done too many evil things in the past, so the heavens gave birth to a daughter for me. Then, they made me lose my voice, and I ended up like this today."”
Che Xuan walked into the room and looked at Guan Ling, saying,""Niangniang, don't say that. You see, now that the princess is accompanying you, and you're a consort, no matter what, the heavens are still good to Niangniang. You are so young, there will be a time when you will be favored. Although the Empress is down and out now, as long as she acts carefully in the future, she will definitely be able to make a comeback.”
Guan Ling looked at Che Xuan, then at He Xiao and sighed softly.
Soon, it was New Year's Eve. According to the rules of previous years, the New Year's Eve banquet must be lively, so the palace people of each palace had to dress up and attend.
"Emperor, do you think ChenQie's clothes are good?”Zhi Ran asked in Yanxi Palace, wearing the new clothes of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
"You look good in anything." The Emperor smiled as he sat on the bed and drank tea.
"The emperor likes this, then ChenQie will wear this to the New Year's Eve banquet.”Zhi Ran smiled and handed the clothes to Fei Xing.
"As long as you are willing, zhen will like anything.”The Emperor stood up and said," Alright, I'll go to the Empress Dowager's place. Rest well and take good care of the little prince in your stomach!”The emperor smiled and stroked Zhi Ran's cheek. Zhi Ran shyly lowered her head.
"ChenQie respectfully sends off the Emperor." Zhi Ran stood up and looked at the back of the Emperor as he left, a smile still floating on the corner of her mouth.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 29PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
