Chapter 479 Over-brainstorming is a disease!
Tusu Qingli slightly turned her head to look at Shen Ninghua, her complexion took on a bit of condescension and coldness, “I don’t know what the Empress wants to ask?”
“This Palace has had people investigate, although your Tu Su Family has gone into seclusion, its main power is in the south, this Palace is quite puzzled, as the eldest young lady of the Tu Su Family, why would you appear in the mountain range on the northwestern border?”
Tusu Qingli’s heart stirred, Shen Ninghua actually investigated the Tusu family, “I have been in bad health since I was young, so I was brought to the northwest by my master to exercise and temper myself, a year ago my master passed away, and I was in mourning for her, so I still reside in the valley. A month or so ago by chance I saved the Emperor, to say the least this is also considered fate.”
For such a long time, she had been trying to find a way to find an excuse to be able to get Baili Junyi’s gratitude without implicating the family, fortunately, she thought of it in advance, or else, Shen Ningshu would definitely reveal her identity when asked.
“Oh, this palace is somewhat curious as to what your master was and where he is buried now?”
“The master himself indifferent to fame and fortune, although the medical skill is high, but never like to show, when the master passed away left his last orders, let me cremated, the ashes scattered into the river, the master said, everything is karma for people, all are destined, so she did not live to bring anything to the world, and after the death of a piece of space. ”
Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, everything in a human being is karmic, was this implying that it was destiny for her and Baili Junyi to meet, so that she should not stand in the way?
“This master of yours is a thorough person, and as a person of this caliber I think that her medical skills must not be bad either. As her heir, your medical skills must also be extremely skillful, or else the Emperor would not be easy to heal when he is poisoned and injured so severely.”
Tusu Qingli’s eyes trembled slightly, “Empress Dowager, what exactly do you want to ask? If you are unwilling to have my daughter in the harem, then just say so explicitly, why make things so difficult.”
Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh out loud and turned her head to look at Hongling, “Hongling, tell her why this palace is asking so many questions.”
Hongling slightly stepped forward, ”Miss Tu Su, if the Empress Mother wants to refuse a person to enter the harem, then there’s no need to ask, just directly have someone drag them down, you’re really being overly concerned. Moreover, do you think that anyone, in any capacity can enter the Emperor’s harem? You know, if you want to enter the palace as a palace maid, you have to go through a strict selection process and go through eighteen filters before the final decision is made, the Empress Dowager asked you a couple of questions and you feel aggrieved?”
Tusu Qingli’s face turned white, and her pleading eyes turned to Baili Junyi, “Your Majesty, you don’t believe my daughter either?”
Baili Junyi raised his head, “Miss Tu Su, I am only in charge of the front court, the Empress is in charge of the Harem, everything is up to her.”
Shen Ninghua glanced at Baili Junyi and grunted in her heart, this moment is a clean skimming, pushing things to her, he himself is free.
Baili Junyi’s heart was moved by the look, and he couldn’t help but get up and sit on Shen Ninghua’s side, giving her a curt smile. In front of outsiders, Shen Ninghua was too lazy to bother with him.
But Tusu Qingli, who saw the interaction between them, had a pain in her heart and only felt that the scene in front of her eyes was exceptionally harsh:
Look at the emperor’s meaning, there is no preparation to include her in the harem, could it be that she just slipped back? No, no, she must find a way, the person in front of her is the emperor, even if Shen Ninghua has a beautiful posture, won’t he lose his freshness? She has to stay, stay by his side, one day, the emperor will see how good she is!
“Empress mother, the folk daughter to save the emperor are all the heart willing, and then happened contact … not to mention it, the mother wants to stabilize the emperor’s harem, the folk daughter can understand, in that case, the folk daughter also do not force, had to fall into the hair as a nun, and from then on the green lamp of the ancient Buddha to spend the rest of his life.”
Shen Ninghua’s eyes flickered, a good move to retreat into progress, if she really lost her hair and became a nun, things were still not sure what would be rumored!
“Miss!” Qiao Ling, who had been blocked from the door, violently shook off the surrounding palace maids and rushed in, holding the staggering Tu Su Qing Li, “Miss, how can you trample on yourself like this, Empress Dowager, my young lady has saved her life for His Majesty, but she has never thought of blackmailing him with this favor, but now because she has lost her innocence, she wants to have a name, is it not reasonable to ask for a name like this? Is this request unreasonable? Do you want to keep other women out of the palace in order to dominate the Emperor? This is too overbearing!”
“How dare you!” Hongling reprimanded with a cold face, “Being so rude in front of the Emperor and Empress Mother, this is a great offense of executing nine clans.”
Qiao Ling eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, raised his voice and shouted, “Empress Mother, you can kill the slave girl, but you can not plug the world’s many mouths, so the behavior of monopolizing the Emperor’s favor, what is your intention?”
Baili Junyi got up violently, a sternness flashed under his eyes, “Drag her down, gag her and cane her.” In his heart, he thanked Tusu Qingli for saving his life, so he only wanted to let her know that she was in trouble, but he didn’t have such a high degree of tolerance for that bold maid, allowing her to act recklessly in front of Ninghua!
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, her sight quietly fell on Qiaoling, calm as if the surface of a silent lake, “You, this girl is also considered to be loyal and protective of the master, it’s just a pity that your master has no intention of pleading for you. Seeing as you are still loyal, this palace does not want your life, Hongling, you go and watch, twenty canes.”
“Yes, Master.”
Qiao Ling was stunned, twenty canes? After beating her there is still life? Thinking, she quickly turned her head to Tu Su Qing Li, “Miss …”
Tusu Qingli snapped to her knees, “Your Majesty, Qiao Ling’s words were unprofessional for a while, please forgive her this time!”
“This is the palace, no one can be intact after disrespecting the Empress, otherwise, where are the rules?” Baili Junyi’s complexion was ice-cold and his words did not have a trace of temperature.
Hong Ling directly waved her hand at the guards at the palace entrance, who entered and directly gagged and pulled Qiao Ling down, “Oooh … oooh …”
Tusu Qingli’s face was pale, struggling to get up to try to save Qiao Ling, but in the next moment his body went limp and he directly fell to the ground.
Shen Ninghua smiled and called two palace maids to enter the door, “Send Miss Tu Su back to the Jade Hall, find two more attentive palace maids to wait on her, and tell someone to ask the eunuch to come and help her.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Not long after, Hongling returned, “Your Highness, the twenty court canes have been beaten.”
“Ask nicely, I want to know what happened.”
“Yes, don’t worry, Your Highness, no matter what, the slave girl will pry her mouth open.”
Hongling led the order to go down, Baili Junyi couldn’t help but feel a little weak, “Ninghua, just now that maid shouted out words, will it cause trouble for you?”
“If you want no trouble it’s also simple, you directly decree to choose a consort and have a wide harem, and there will be no problem whatsoever.”
“How can this be, Ning Hua, I won’t apologize to you!” Baili Junyi hurriedly assured with a serious look.
Shen Ninghua slightly raised her eyebrows, “You’re just a stand-in, not the real Emperor, what’s there to be sorry for?”
Baili Jun Yi choked, almost choked to death by these words: ”That … that won’t work either, after the Emperor comes back and finds out that there are so many more women in the harem, what if his heart is moved? Then wouldn’t you be asking for trouble? Besides, the women who are included in the harem always need to be honored, is it me or the Emperor who goes? What if you conceive an heir, wouldn’t the royal lineage be in chaos, how would you let Boss and Xiaobao and Sanjang live with themselves?”
The corners of Shen Ninghua’s mouth and eyes moved slightly, this reasoning is still a set, a set, “What you say is also reasonable.”
“Right, so ah, simply endless aftermath ah, in the future you must not mention it again, think about it all feel the consequences are serious.” Critical moment, still need to pull the emperor this tiger skin, Baili Junyi heart some upset, “Ninghua, I first go to deal with the zhangzhang, later also accompany the children with lunch.”
Tusu Qingli, who was sent back to the Jade Hall, woke up after an hour of “unconsciousness”, and there were two respectful maidservants standing by the bedside, “Miss, you’re awake, but what’s wrong with you, do you need the slave girl to ask the doctor to come back for you?”
“No, you guys back off, I want some quiet time.”
“Yes.” Waiting to exit the palace door, the two palace maids looked at each other, the bottom of their eyes at the same time flashed a trace of contempt, just now the eunuchs had secretly told them, this Miss Tu Su did not faint at all, it was completely pretending. Therefore, they just stood motionless at the bedside watching her, letting her want to secretly move a little bit can’t, able to endure an hour of immobility, this is also considered to have the ability to endure.
Tusu Qingli gritted her teeth in hatred, Baili Junyi was really too heartless, he didn’t even care about his own feelings at all, he ordered Qiaoling to be dragged down to be caned, could it be that that one month’s time together hadn’t left any traces in his heart?
No, it wouldn’t, she didn’t believe it! He clearly no longer remembers Shen Ninghua and has no feelings for her, it is impossible to leave her behind because of just one day’s acquaintance, there must be some deeper reason. That’s right, he has no memory now, and Shen Ninghua is holding the dynasty, that’s why he doesn’t dare to disobey Shen Ninghua’s order, worrying that it will put the people of Da’an Kingdom in danger, yes, it must be because of this!
Thinking that she had figured out the causes and consequences of the matter, Tu Su Qing Li secretly became anxious, she had to find a way to help Baili Jun Yi, to help him sit on the throne and defeat Shen Ning Hua, and then, they would be able to be together without fear.
The heart wants to understand the Tu Su Qing Li, and then think back to the previous Baili Jun Yi’s expression, only to feel that he is every color of God are revealed left and right difficult and hesitant, can not help but frown: the emperor on the surface of the difficult for her, the heart must be a lot of heartache, he is the same as their own, there are a lot of the body can not help it.
At noon, Baili Junyi accompanied the children with lunch, the family ate enthusiastically for most of the hour before finishing. After the meal, Baili Junyi accompanied the oldest and Xiaobao to recognize words, while Shen Ninghua read books on the side. The sunlight poured in through the window, casting a faint glow on Shen Ninghua’s body, she slightly tilted her head sideways, her long slender eyelashes lazily fluttered, refracting a burst of seven-colored light.
The moment Baili Junyi raised his head, he happened to see such a quiet picture, only to feel a violent tremor in his mind, as if something had flashed by, but when he looked carefully, he couldn’t catch it.
