Chapter 152 He Ying

Probably because what he said at the beginning was too serious, and he killed the Queen Mother as soon as he uttered it, which shocked everyone.

So when they heard that she was punished by leaving one life behind, everyone felt that this was much easier for them to accept.

For a while, the rest of the people didn't think of asking for love, and only reacted when they heard Emperor Tianqin's voice.

The Lin family, the Empress Dowager of the West, secretly colluded with others with the intention of committing misconduct, and refused to change after repeated admonitions, so she was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the Ning'an Palace forever, not to be released until death.

If it wasn't for the sake of the royal family's face, Emperor Tianqin originally wanted to drive the Lin family out of Shengjing.

It's just that according to Lin's temperament, if he really leaves Shengjing, there's no guarantee that something will happen to him, so it's better to keep it under his nose for safety.

As for the Lin family, anyone who had plots will be exiled for three thousand miles, and the rest will be sent out of Shengjing, and the three generations of descendants will not be allowed to enter Shengjing by any means.

In other words, none of the three generations of this descendant can participate in the imperial examination.

This is indeed a severe punishment for the Lin family who want to become powerful.

As long as they are not surnamed Lin, Emperor Tian Qin will not punish them for three generations. Unfortunately, not only are they surnamed Lin, but they also stand on the cusp of the storm, becoming the chickens in the hands of Emperor Tian Qin to kill chickens and monkeys.

Gu Ruzhen didn't know about this until Emperor Tianqin stepped forward.

"If the empress wants to persuade you, there is still time to go there at this time."

Gu Ruzhen stopped shaking the rattle, then glanced out of the window, and slowly shook her head, "Go and tell the other side to do what His Majesty tells you, and don't treat him too harshly."

People in the palace have always been accustomed to follow the wind to make decisions. This time His Majesty punished the Empress Dowager Xi openly and expressed his dislike for her, others would naturally follow suit and also dislike her.

Ruotong replied yes, and was about to go to the side to serve pastries when she saw the scene in front of her eyes and her eyebrows twitched.

At this time, the Empress is putting the rattle in the hands of the little Diji, letting the little Diji shake herself to amuse herself.

Little Diji didn't think the empress was fooling her, so she focused on playing with the rattle.

"By the way, what's going on between you and He Ying?"

Seeing that Qin Shu was having fun, Gu Ruzhen waved her hand, signaling Ruotong to go outside with her.

Naturally, there were still two palace guards staying inside. Qin Shu was a well-behaved child, but he would often do things that made her headache.

The child is quiet, he must be acting like a demon, this is really true.

The last time she didn't look at one of them, then she found Shu Shu sitting on the ground with a serious face, holding her father's seldom-used seal in her hand, stained with rouge and imprinted on the bed.

Qin Shu was still young, so naturally he couldn't reach the wooden box next to the dressing table and bookshelf. Gu Ruzhen realized after looking at it for a long time that Qin Shu pushed his small bench in front of the dressing table and bookshelf, and then stood on it to take the seal and rouge.

Thinking of this, she stopped vigilantly and opened the gauze curtain to take a look inside. Seeing Qin Shu tilting his head and staring at the rattle in a daze, she breathed a sigh of relief and went out to talk to Ruotong.

"Wu Zhu is pregnant and has been asking for leave. If you have something to do with He Ying, it doesn't matter if you go out of the palace for a few days. There are Zi Ling and Yun Wan around here."

He Ying, who passed out last year, was rescued by Ruotong who was out of the palace after fainting on the street, and the two of them got to know each other.

Ruotong pursed her lips, lowered her head and poured a cup of tea.

"What?" Gu Ruzhen sensed that something was wrong, she carefully looked at Ruotong's face, and couldn't help frowning, "He bullied you?"

"Actually, it's not his problem." Ruotong stood aside with a grim expression, "Your Majesty, you also know that He Ying has entered the court, and if there is no accident in the past few years, he will settle down in Shengjing."

"So he took his mother and his brothers and sisters over."

Seeing that Ruotong remained silent for a long time, Gu Ruzhen asked, "I remember you asked me for leave last month and went out to buy gifts for him."

She could vaguely guess that Ruotong probably had conflicts with members of He Ying's family.

"When the servants went to see them, they only said that they were ordinary maids in the palace, and did not say that they were serving the empress."

Ruotong paused for a moment, in fact, every time she thinks of the scene of seeing He Ying's family that day, she feels unhappy in her heart.

"They feel that the status of slaves is low, and their son is a lord, and slaves are not worthy of being brazen and entangled. They say that they have seen too many people like slaves, and they are not enough to be a concubine."

Gu Ruzhen has always defended her weaknesses, if it wasn't for Gu Qin Shu still inside at this moment, she would be able to slap the table on the spot.

She endured it and motioned Ruotong to sit down.

"Does He Ying know these words?"

Gu Ruzhen didn't need to think about it at all, she knew that what Ruotong said was beautified by her, and what she actually heard must be ten times or a hundred times worse than this.

"No, their family members deliberately sent him to another place to tell the servants."

Ruotong still likes He Ying, but after this incident, these likes have faded a lot.

So this month He Ying approached her several times, but she always excused herself by being too busy.

Probably He Ying also felt that something was wrong with her, so someone brought a message in and asked her to go out for a talk, but she didn't want to go and He Ying naturally couldn't take her out.

"The servant doesn't know what to do."

Gu Ruzhen bent her fingers and blew off the foam in the teacup, "No, Ruotong, you know what to do."

"It's just that you have to think clearly, whether you directly deny He Ying, or trust He Ying once, and believe that he can handle this relationship well."

"The power to choose is in your hands, but you made the choice without saying a word, which is not fair to He Ying."

"Tell him, tell him what's on your mind, and it's not too late to talk about the rest."

In fact, Gu Ruzhen felt that even if she said it, the final result would not change much.

It's not that she doesn't believe in He Ying. He Ying is indeed a man with a good personality and excellent knowledge. He can be called excellent in every aspect.

It's just that no matter how hard the two of them work, some conflicts are difficult to overcome if they rely on their own efforts.

He Ying's family is poor, and the whole family has suffered so much for him to study, so he can't ignore the feelings of his family. If he doesn't, he is really unfilial, but if he does, Ruotong will definitely marry into the He family. suffer.

Ruotong was stunned for a while, then slowly lowered her head and didn't speak, she didn't know how long it took before she said, "The servant will make it clear to him that although the servant is not a young lady of a noble family, she can't be insulted by others."

"If you really like it, there is nothing you can do. His Majesty gave you the marriage, and you are a female official in the deep palace. You are even higher than his official rank. After explaining this clearly, forgive them and dare not do anything about it."

"Your Majesty, the servants don't..."
