Qingchuan History

Chapter 58
Ask the first thing first.

"Your Majesty was injured by Four Shus last month, was it you?"

"No."

Definitely.

"But you know who it is."

"I don't know."

"Then why did you suddenly have to enter the Wanlan Palace on the third day of Junshang's illness? I heard that you were extremely anxious."

Shangguan's concubine's eyes flickered for a moment, and then calmed down: "Your Majesty was ill for three days, and even the morning court was canceled, and even the gate of the Wanlan Hall was set up, and no one was allowed to visit. It has always been the case that the king is ill, so how can he not allow the concubines in the harem to visit at all?" The reason? I guess it must be because of the turbulent illness, which is why I was in a hurry."

She didn't tell the truth and didn't answer the core question.Ruan Xueyin decided to continue the attack:

"Even so, how do you know that Jun Shangzhong is Sishu Zhan? The gag order has been issued, and no one knows about his illness."

Shangguan Concubine seemed to be a little overwhelmed, she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, but it was only a small sip, but she swallowed it for a long time.

"On the night when Your Majesty fell ill, my maid Xiwu happened to pass by the Wanlan Palace. She saw people coming and going from the imperial hospital, so she asked the palace people to ask, and learned that Your Majesty's high fever persisted, and she had blushed a lot. Rash. I didn’t pay much attention at first, but on the third day, when the door of the Lantern Palace was still closed, I became suspicious.”

Naturally, it is made up because there are loopholes.Ruan Xueyin did not intend to let her go.

"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Zhen and I didn't know Jun was sick that night, because no one came to pass on the news. Since you found out by accident, and you have always cared about Jun, why didn't you go to Wan Lan Palace right away?"

Shangguan concubine reacted for a moment, and quickly replied: "After all, Xiwu asked quietly. Master Diyan didn't come to deliver a message, so I dare not go there rashly."

Barely pass the scene.But of course not the truth.

He could only count on Gu Xinglang to continue to investigate.

Then the second thing.

"Just out of curiosity, you don't have to answer. Just now you said that you are sincere to the king and have never done anything to harm him. Yuqing, I don't doubt it. But Yu Li, your surname is Shangguan, and your monarch's surname is Murong , your hometown is Cangwu, your mother country is Wei country—”

She paused there, making sure that the other party could understand.

Shangguan concubine understood.She has thought about this question hundreds of times, since the day she entered the palace and met him.As time went by, the more she saw him, the more seriously she took the issue.

She was panicked at first, then sentimental, then almost miserable.In the past two months, she has relieved a lot, because to a certain extent, she has found a reason to relieve herself.

"Sister Pei, if you think that I will plot against you, then you are wrong. Wei Jun and my father really hope to get more news about Qi Gong and about you from me. I am from Wei, so I have to serve the country. But other than that, I won't do anything to hurt Your Majesty. He is my husband."

Ruan Xueyin didn't understand, "Do you really understand the struggle between countries? Sending news is a kind of harm in itself." She paused for a while, consciously being straightforward, but she still couldn't hold back her words, "What's the difference between this and detailed work? "

Shangguan concubine's eyebrows skipped a beat.

"Is this how your majesty sees me? From his point of view, there is no difference between me and you, and they are all just masterpieces sent by the mother country? Then why doesn't he stay away from me?"

Ruan Xueyin was surprised.Such a delicate and domineering person showed such an expression at this moment, the real sadness, even if she saw it, she couldn't bear it.

"It's not that serious. Your Majesty treats you and Xirun very well, how can you be like me? Besides, you probably haven't sent any news back. If so, he won't be unaware."

Shangguan's concubine turned pale: "You mean, Your Majesty also arranged for someone to watch me?"

Ruan Xueyin was surprised: "Why does he have to stare at you all the time? Letters sent from the palace to the outside, no matter what route, even pigeons, will be stopped for inspection, and released if there is no problem. Qingchuan Four Kingdoms, everything is like this. Could it be that your father Let you send a letter back directly?"

The silence of the other party is intriguing.half an hour,
"So the Fenyuliu Golden Bird does not need words to send messages."

Ruan Xueyin secretly praised her for her quick response, not only avoided the questions she didn't want to answer, but also pointed the finger at herself.Then he remembered talking with Ji Wanling in Pishuang Palace, and the other party was doing well.The daughters of famous ministers are all worthy of the demeanor of the family.

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she had nothing to say, and answered frankly, "Yes."

Shangguan concubine nodded: "Sometimes I really envy you and Jing Tingge. If I can get into Mr. Ji Ji's family and develop my own skills, I will not be in a dilemma in this Qi Palace now."

"If the sky has feelings, the sky will also grow old. Let alone people. No matter what kind of skills you have cultivated, once you are moved with love and sincerity, with your identity and situation, it is impossible not to fall into a dilemma."

Shangguan concubine sighed softly, "I always tell myself that the chaos of the Wei Kingdom has been settled, and the new ruler has just been established. Although the momentum has been strong in the past few years, it cannot be compared with the Qi Kingdom. In my lifetime, this battle may not be won. Then I can stay by his side with peace of mind. When I return to dust, this battle between countries will have nothing to do with me.”

"You are deceiving yourself."

Shangguan concubine smiled sadly: "Who said it wasn't. Before I came to Jidu, I didn't expect this to happen. Believe it or not, the moment I saw him, I suddenly forgot all my father's instructions. Later he came to Zhuyudian , smiling so nicely, and being so gentle to me, I thought, how can I do even one thing that is not good for him?"

It's a pity that Ruan Xueyin has never heard Chunfeng's comment on Gu Xinglang's "doing harm to the world", otherwise this moment would be an example.But at this moment, she completely believed in her, at least believed in her sincerity, and believed that she did not make a move to hurt Gu Xinglang.

But she must know who did it.

Seeing that she was silent, Shangguan woke up suddenly, and said awkwardly, "It's also strange, why am I telling you these things?" She stared at her again, and said in a low voice:

"Does Your Majesty like talking to you that much?"

Ruan Xueyin didn't know how to answer, but she saw that Shangguan got up, and her posture and expression had returned to the previous appearance:
"I talked too much with my sister today, so it's inconvenient to stay." She glanced at the entrance of the hall, and Xiwu was holding a maple box in her hand. She presumably was a few cans of Bitan Piaoxue prepared by Ruan Xueyin, "Thank you for the tea. I hope my sister When you speak neutrally, you keep your word.”

She turned around and went outside the main hall, walked a few steps, stopped and turned around and said, "Will my sister tell you the content of today's conversation?"

"will not."

"Why?"

"In troubled times, sincerity is precious. I will not destroy beautiful things. As long as you are sincere, you can withstand the pressure of your family and country."

Shangguan's concubine touched her soft intestines again, and stood there for a long while without moving.

"Since that's the case, can I ask you a question?" Ruan Xueyin said.

"Sister, please speak."

"Who taught your pharmacology?"

Shangguan concubine smiled: "I have no comment, sister forgive me. Let me go."
