Chapter 1270 [Updated on July 2] Is a Ruthless Person

Ruoyin turned his head, met those deep black pupils, and said with a smile: "Since the emperor has arrived at the Yongshou Palace of his concubine, he brought up this matter again, I think you already have a suitable candidate in your heart."

Probably because she guessed it right, Fourth Master chuckled and asked directly: "What do you think of Concubine Ying?"

Ruoyin shook her head, and replied: "As for Concubine Ying's personality, it's really hard for me to answer, because she has only entered the palace not long ago, and I haven't gotten along with her very much, and I don't know her well."

Since she was unfamiliar, she told the truth, neither good nor bad.

The fourth master nodded slightly, "This morning, some officials wrote a report and mentioned the matter of the third elder brother being left alone. Not only that, they also mentioned Ergege and Sigege."

Hearing this, Ruoyin understood.

I am afraid that the officials who submitted the papers belonged to the Niu Gulu family.

Just to avoid suspicion, Er GeGe and Si GeGe were also brought up incidentally.

Otherwise, both the Meng family and the Nian family would be down and out, and who would give them the papers.

And when she thought of this level, fourth master must have thought of it too.

It's just that he needs to think about the third elder brother from the perspective of his father.

No matter what, he is still an elder brother. It is impossible for him to fend for himself in the Forbidden City like a left-behind elder brother, which is outrageous.

Not to mention entrusting it to the care of irresponsible concubines.

After Ruoyin paused, she said in a serious manner: "Aside from Concubine Ying's personality, she really cares about the third elder brother. Knowing that the third elder brother is sick, she still takes care of the third elder brother day and night. Now the third elder brother Elder Brother's wind-cold condition has improved a lot, but she has overcome Third Elder Brother's sickness."

After being immersed in the harem for so long, of course she would not think that Concubine Ying simply wanted to take care of the third elder brother.

Regardless of what purpose Concubine Ying has, Concubine Ying's affection for Elder Brother is at least much better than those concubines in the harem.

Concubine Ying dared to take care of the third elder brother at the risk of being infected.

Concubine Ying felt very sad every time Xi Chang was mentioned.

Moreover, when Concubine Ying saw the third elder brother, the emotion in her eyes could not be deceiving.

Although she had a grudge against Na Xichang, she didn't know whether this concubine Ying was good or bad.

But from the third elder brother's point of view, Concubine Ying is indeed the only suitable candidate for the third elder brother among the concubines in the harem.

One reason is that Concubine Ying is Xi Changzai's biological sister, and she is related by blood to the third elder brother.

With this relationship, Concubine Ying is more qualified than others.

In addition, she had also heard that the concubine Ying had been guarding the third elder brother's bed day and night these past few days, and she couldn't eat well or sleep well.

Compared with those concubines, when I went to visit the third elder brother that day, I hid far away.

If they are allowed to raise the third elder brother, I am afraid they will only avoid the third elder brother.

In this way, wouldn't the weak third elder brother suffer physically and mentally?

After hearing Ruoyin's words, fourth master gave a faint "Yes", probably having made a decision.

In the early morning of the next day, the fourth master issued an imperial decree to hand over the third elder brother to Concubine Ying to raise him.

When Ruoyin got up, Nanny Liu taught her this.

After she heard it, she nodded indifferently.

But the next moment, she said cautiously: "You send more people to watch Concubine Dian Ying's side, and if there is any sign, you will inform me."

Although the grievances between her and Xi Changzai had ended as early as the moment the other party left.

She will not bring negative emotions to the third prince and Concubine Ying.

In this harem, she has her own principles, that is, she will not take the initiative to harm others.

In the past, she adhered to this principle and has persisted until now.

But at that time, she will not be on guard in advance.

But it's different now, after experiencing so much right and wrong, she had to be on guard against Concubine Ying in advance.

Moreover, the Niu Gulu family in history was a ruthless person.

Forcibly boiled to death the original wife of Emperor Yongzheng.

Not only that, but also helped his son Hongli to the throne of the emperor and became the queen mother.

Although the so-called Hongli did not appear among the elder brothers in this life, she still inevitably put the third elder brother in the seat.

Besides, judging from Concubine Ying's words and deeds, Concubine Ying and Xi Changzai have a deep sisterly relationship.

In case the other party has any purpose, she should be on guard earlier.

In the days that followed, the third elder brother moved from elder brother's place to Chengqian palace of concubine Ying.

The concubines in the harem who were looking forward to it did not expect Fourth Master.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Ying, Fourth Master went to Chengqian Palace to see her and third elder brother several times.

Even though she was too sick to go to bed, fourth master didn't avoid it for fear of being infected.

This disappointed the harem concubines.

They originally thought that they were infected with the wind and cold, and the green head card was withdrawn from the respect room, so they would have no chance.

After all, harem concubines and emperors are just playthings.

Where would one risk being infected with a cold to pamper a woman?

In addition, the concubine Ying was too sick to get up, so she couldn't go to bed at all.

Who knew that the emperor went to the Chengqian Palace of Concubine Ying.

I really don't know what that man was thinking.

If they had known this earlier, they would have to take care of the third elder brother even at the risk of being infected. This is better than staying alone in an empty room in the bedroom.

Alas, once there was an opportunity to compete for favor in front of them, they didn't cherish it...

------

As soon as the winter solstice is over, and it seems that the New Year is coming, the snow in the capital is getting heavier every day.

Goose feathers and heavy snow are flying all over the sky, and the north wind is blowing.

The whole world is blurred.

Ruoyin sat in front of the window, feeling the freezing cold outside through the window.

He couldn't help wrapping his jacket tightly around his body.

He also held Mrs. Tang tightly with both hands.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in by the door, it was Rushuang.

She walked up to Ruoyin and reported, "Ma'am, something happened to the Shoukang Palace."

"Huh?" Ruoyin raised an eyebrow.

Now the harem has long been divided into genres according to the bedroom.

The servants below spread the word, "the one from Chengqian Palace", "the one from Changchun Palace" and "the one from Yanxi Palace".

When he first heard about Shoukang Palace, Ruoyin didn't remember who it was for a while.

In her impression, there is no such place in the East and West Six Palaces where the concubines live.

After thinking for a while, she finally remembered that this Shoukang Palace is an old-age palace area in the northwest, commonly known as the widow's area, where the empress dowagers and concubines lived.

If she remembered correctly, only the Meng family who had been demoted as a commoner lived there in the harem.

Thinking of this, Ruoyin held her lips and said, "Meng Shi? What's wrong with her?"

"If you go back to your mother, Mrs. Meng has gone."

Hearing this, Ruoyin was startled, "Go? When did it happen?"

"Just this morning, the servants of Shoukang Palace found her hanging from the beam of the house. When they put her down, she was already out of breath. It is estimated that she hanged herself in the middle of last night."

"It shouldn't be." Ruoyin frowned.

It has been more than a year since the Meng family has been demoted as a commoner.

During this year, the Meng family has been doing well.

Even though she had a quarrel with Nian and Meng took the blame for a short time and was fined to do chores in Xinzheku, she did not commit suicide.
