Chapter 1271 [Updated on July 2] His Cuffs Smell of Mint
It's unreasonable to think of suicide for no reason after the truth of the matter is revealed.
Thinking of some recent events, Ruoyin's eyes rolled slightly, as if he understood something.
"It seems that someone said something to Meng Shi, which caused her to commit suicide."
"Your Majesty, you mean...someone in the harem approached Mrs. Meng?"
Ruoyin nodded, "Yes, it's probably because of Ergege's business. Besides, that person should be among the new show girls."
Because the old people in the harem are Qi Concubine, Mao Concubine, Zhuang Guiren, and Wu Changzai.
Concubine Qi has both sons and daughters, and she disdains the third elder brother, so she has no intention of raising Er Gege.
Concubine Mao and nobleman Zhuang raised San Gege together, and had no time to care about anything else.
Wu Chang's status is low, so he is not qualified to support him at all.
In addition, Wu Changzai has never had any scheming, how could he do these things, the key is to kill people.
Besides, old people have already done things if they wanted to, so why wait until newcomers enter the palace to do things, isn't this increasing competitiveness.
On the contrary, all the newcomers are talented women, and there are several high-ranking ones.
Seeing that the third elder brother returned to Concubine Ying, they were naturally unwilling to lag behind.
Otherwise, why did such a thing happen not long after the new talent entered the palace.
Thinking of this, Ruoyin pouted and shook his head.
This year's harem is really hard to lead.
How long has it been since the show girl election, and things are happening one after another.
However, which harem is easy to lead?
Who let the royal family have the throne to inherit!
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really ruthless. The Meng family is a commoner, and they can't get in the way. If they want to raise Er Gege, they can directly ask for it. Why force the Meng family to death." Rushuang said.
Ruoyin hooked his lips, and said lightly, "Because only the dead are not threatening."
Those who can make it through the show girl election to get here are all ruthless people.
Of course, they will not let go of a threatening stumbling block.
"Then what should we do, that Meng's body is still lying in Shoukang Palace."
Ruoyin's eyes were confused for a while, then immediately became sharp.
"Order to bury the Meng family outside the palace." She let out a long sigh of relief, got up and said, "You and Banmei accompany me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Originally, Fourth Master mentioned Ergege and Sigege last time.
It's just that when newcomers enter the palace, they don't know much about it, so it's not easy to hand over the two princesses to others to be raised.
Now that something like this has happened, I have to deal with it quickly.
Otherwise, if we drag it on, we still don't know what will happen in this harem.
A while later, Ruoyin put on a silver-red cloak and rode on a phoenix chariot to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
When he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, He Zhongkang went in to report for a while, and then welcomed her in.
When Ruoyin entered, Su Peisheng slapped her a thousand times before leaving with a face.
Fourth Master sat in front of the throne to review the memorial as always.
Probably the slave had already greeted him.
So, as soon as Ruoyin entered, he said calmly, "Tell me, what's the matter."
His voice is deep and magnetic, just like his person, he appears very stable, giving people a very solid sense of security.
Ruoyin sat down opposite him, and untied the cloak on her own.
She put the cloak on the back of the rose chair, and then said: "Mr. Meng is dead."
After finishing speaking, he saw the man on the opposite side continuing to review the memorial in full swing.
As if she was talking about just a stranger.
It wasn't until he finished reading the memorial in his hand that he raised his head and looked at her.
The man's gaze swept across her cheeks, and finally landed on the long and curled eyelashes.
Because of the heavy snowfall outside, there was a layer of frost-like snow foam on her long eyelashes.
"I know." He raised his hand and stroked her long eyelashes lightly with his fingertips, "Is there anything else?"
Ruoyin didn't dodge, but let him wipe the snow off his eyelashes.
She watched the foam melt on his fingertips.
And his cuffs smelled of mint.
The first time she smelled it on him, she thought it was the peppermint oil he added to his bath.
But every time she waited for him to take a bath, she had never seen him add any scented things.
This unexplained aroma made him even more mysterious.
It's not a private matter that the Meng family has gone, she knows it all, and he knows it too if he thinks about it.
Ruoyin pursed her lips and thought about it for a while, and then stopped playing around.
She said: "Now the third elder brother is settled, and Er Gege and Si Gege are still being taken care of by slaves. So the concubine is thinking, simply hand them over to the concubines in the harem to raise them years ago. It happens that many of the newcomers are He has a high status and has no heirs..."
"It's not urgent." Before she could finish speaking, Fourth Master interrupted her and continued to write with his head down.
Ruoyin looked at the man in front of him, his eyes turned slightly.
"Is the emperor worried about handing over the two princesses to the newcomers?"
"..."
Seeing that fourth master didn't speak, Ruoyin took it as his acquiescence.
That's right, she could think that Meng Shi's death was related to the newcomer, and fourth master must have thought of those twists and turns.
If Meng Shi died, Ruoyin didn't feel much.
That Meng family was not a good person, and even planned to frame her and fifth elder brother.
As for why the fourth master was unwilling to hand over the two princesses to the newcomers in the harem, it was because this time the matter was different from the third elder brother and concubine Ying. The people behind the scenes did not simply want to raise Er Gege.
Concubine Ying used the third elder brother who was sick all the year round to serve him without eating or drinking, so as to show that she really cared about the third elder brother, and thus obtained custody rights.
But this time, the person behind the scenes forced Meng to death because he wanted to raise Er Gege. This is the difference.
This kind of person who kills people as soon as they enter the palace, not to mention fourth master doesn't want to hand Gege over to them, even Ruoyin doesn't want to.
No pet, no love, no heir, it's so ruthless.
It's okay to have an emperor's heir under his knees in the future, and this harem can't be messed up.
"Your Majesty, my concubine has a way to give the two princesses a good place to go, and not hand them over to the newcomers who entered the palace."
As soon as these words came out, Fourth Master raised his head and raised his sword eyebrows, "Let's listen to it."
"We can hand over the two Princesses to Empress Empress and Concubine Xian," Ruoyin suggested.
In this way, the newcomers and the people behind the murder of the Meng family will not be taken advantage of.
It also allows Er Gege and Si Gege to rely on.
It can also make the retirement days of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian less lonely and boring.
The more Ruoyin thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea.
Unexpectedly, the fourth master frowned and said, "Concubine Xian is easy to say. After all, she has no heirs in her life. When she gets old, she naturally wants someone to marry her. But the empress's mother is a little uneasy. I remember that she always wanted to marry her." Here comes Little Gege, who is raising fourteen families."
"That depends on whether the fourteenth brother will give it or not." Ruoyin tilted his head and analyzed: "As far as my concubine knows, Fourteen is a baby of his family's direct relative, Little Gege, and he treats little Gege more than he treats elder brother Chong, so, he will definitely not hand over little Gege to Queen Mother to raise him."
Fourth Master: "..."
"As for the Empress, the emperor can just leave it to the concubine, and the concubine has her own way to make her old man accept it." Ruoyin curled her lips and said.
Fourth master saw a slyness in Ruoyin's eyes, shining like a fox, and decided to make up his mind.
Every time she looked at him like this, he had been fooled many times.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Since you are so sure, then it's up to you."
At the end, he added: "But there is one thing, you have to listen to me."

There is a lot of difference in the monthly pass, but I still add a chapter, thank you.
