Chapter 136 Methods
It was only at night that Lin Shuangxue understood the meaning of Lin's words.

Mrs. Lin said she wanted to take a bath, and said that the palace servants would clean up the water tomorrow morning, and when the water in the wooden barrel was cold in the middle of the night, she took off her clothes and went in.

After soaking for most of the night, she came out trembling.

Although the weather has already turned warm, Mrs. Lin is not young, and even the younger ones can't stand such a toss, so she can only lie on the couch the next day, and Qian Momo is responsible for walking to the door Briefly explain this to the palace guards at the door.

In the end, she showed hesitation, and asked tentatively, "Can I trouble you, if you have time, please go and tell Your Majesty that the Empress Dowager is ill and misses Your Majesty, can you please take time out of your busy schedule to come over?" one trip."

Several palace people looked at each other in blank dismay, all showing more tangled expressions than Qian Momo.

Whether the Empress Dowager was ill before, these palace servants knew better than anyone else, but it was just an excuse for the outside world that His Majesty wanted the Empress Dowager to stay in Ning'an Hall safely.

However, if this excuse turns out to be true, the Empress Dowager West is His Majesty's biological mother after all, so they still sent someone there to be on the safe side.

But in the end, that person was stopped at the entrance of Ganlu Hall and was not allowed to enter.

After hearing the whole story, Zuo Qiuju couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked the palace humanely, "With you serving by the Empress Dowager, how could she catch cold in this day?"

He raised his eyes to look at the sky, and felt that the sunshine of the past two days was particularly dazzling.

When the Empress Dowager did this kind of thing, she kept everyone outside and didn't allow anyone to come in. How could the palace people know, she thought for a long time, "I don't know, but the water that the Empress Dowager bathed in yesterday was not carried out immediately. "

Hearing this, Zuoqiuju's original thoughts instantly settled down.

"Forget it, you wait here, I will go in and report for you."

The sky changed suddenly, and a few huge dark clouds floated from nowhere, blocking the glare of the sun, and the wind rustled.

At this time, Gu Ruzhen, who was in Shengning Palace, felt like this weather, a lot of anger welled up in her heart, but finally turned into helplessness.

Cui Ling and Wu Zhu, since they are in love with each other, they live together in Shengjing, they are well-matched, and they have been in love since childhood, so they are naturally a perfect match.

At that time, she only thought that maybe Cui Ling's mother would be unwilling, thinking that Wu Zhu's temper was too reckless, and she was not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.

In fact, although these words are not pleasant to the ears, to the aristocratic family, there is indeed nothing wrong.

For families with a slightly higher threshold, in addition to requiring the woman to be in the same family, she also needs to have the ability to run the house.

But what she never imagined was that the Cui family agreed, and in the end it was difficult for Mrs. Wu.

At Sishi, Mrs. Wu asked to see her.

Gu Ruzhen originally thought that she came here to discuss Wu Zhu and Cui Ling's marriage, so she ordered someone to bring her in without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Madam Wu immediately knelt down in front of her as soon as she entered the door. Before she could say anything, she cried so hard that she couldn't help herself.

She felt that something was wrong, so she sent Wu Zhu out to do other things first.

"Your Majesty, you said that if Wu Zhu married, what would happen if he did something wrong in Cui's house, and where would he put his wife's face?"

With a few sobs, Madam Wu raised her head and said, sobbing.

Gu Ruzhen was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt, "But if she married into someone else, wouldn't the consequences of doing something wrong be the same?"

Could it be any different?

And even if there is something wrong, the Cui family will be more tolerant in terms of the relationship between the two families, not to mention that Wu Zhu is just short-sighted and has an excellent character.

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a long time, "This is different, if she offends the Cui family, what will the servants do in the future?"

Because Gu Ruzhen was so shocked, she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Wu Zhu has an official position and usually serves her by her side, even those aristocratic families that still stand in the old generation of Tianqin have only respect for Wu Zhu.

As for the ability to manage the family, if you don't have it, you will lose it. It doesn't take much to find a few safe women to follow.

So after careful calculation, there is no such exaggeration as Mrs. Wu said, as if her daughter is a scourge.

Seeing that she remained silent, Madam Wu cried even harder.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the minister's wife is living a very hard life. The minister's wife has several sisters-in-law and they all gave birth to sons, but the minister's wife only gave birth to these two daughters. If you don't stay at home every day, others will think that your wife is not capable of bearing a son, but even disciplining her daughter."

Speaking of the latter, she was already sobbing.

These words are very sad, making people feel angry, but in the anger, there is too much helplessness.

Gu Ruzhen lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Ruotong came over worriedly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, this servant will help you go inside and have a rest."

"No need, go and help Mrs. Wu to sit next to her."

Madam Wu has been kneeling on the ground since she came in, and now she just pursed her lips when she heard the words to get her up, "If the empress doesn't agree, the minister won't get up."

"If you don't get up now, then just keep kneeling." Gu Ruzhen's voice became a little impatient.

Looking at the woman's expressionless eyes, Madam Wu was taken aback, she hurriedly stood up and followed Ruotong to the side, but there was still a grievance welling up on her face.

"Wu Zhu made many military achievements for His Majesty at a young age, and was named General Zhaowu, Mrs. Wu. Even if there were men who had the opportunity to take the imperial examination and enlist in the army in the past, how many of them can compare to her in such honor?"

"Having such a daughter, you should be very proud, but because she is not so obedient and obedient in your heart, do you think she is your shame?"

Gu Ruzhen was actually not that angry when she said these words to Mrs. Wu, the most emotion in her heart turned out to be sadness in the end.

Because she knew that no matter what she said or did, Madam Wu's views would be extremely difficult to change.

This kind of thought has been rooted in her heart for decades, how could it change in a day or two.

"Mother, but she is a girl after all. If she were a boy, the servants would not have to suffer these grievances these years." Mrs. Wu took out a veil from her skirt and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Ruotong saw the familiar color of skirt corners outside the hall with sharp eyes, and hurriedly leaned down and said something to Gu Ruzhen, then walked outside a few steps to stop Wu Zhu.

"Go to the entrance of Ganlu Hall again and watch His Majesty come back after having lunch." Afraid that she would be suspicious and notice something was wrong, Ruotong added, "You also know that His Majesty forgot to eat when he was busy. Only after I went there would I be willing to listen and eat a couple of bites, the empress is pregnant now, she should be more cautious after all."
