C317 Ronger is delighted to see a woman (2/2)
”Your Majesty, why do I hear you talking about Dundub?” Because he had a very deep impression of this name, he was especially sensitive to it. Before he even entered the room, he heard the emperor's words.
”I said it's Dundub, but he doesn't seem to be at the Duke Mansion anymore!” Xuan Ye glanced at Duan Jing who was behind Rong'er and sighed.
Oh, imperial father, you said Dundub? This son is truly curious, why can't I afford to lose, if I lose I have to run, you don't look like a man with responsibilities! Rong Xian said shakily.
”Princess, you shouldn't say that.” Woorgun shook his head and said, ”Dundub and I have known each other since we were young. He has always been a modest and amiable person, even though he was born in a rich and powerful family, he has never been extravagant. He had also competed with me in archery before, and even if he lost, he was still gentle and polite.
”emperor's son-in-law is right. It was all a waste of my deductions.” Rong Xian immediately replied with a smile.
Rong'er couldn't help but chuckle in her heart as she looked at her daughter, who had always refused to yield. She finally understood the ancient saying, ”one thing, one thing.”
Xuan Ye and the others rested for two days at the Gu Bei entrance before they decided to continue their journey north. Considering that Rong'er and his mother had spent too much time together, Xuan Ye specifically allowed Rong'er and Duan Jing to stay at the Gu Bei mouth to gather with Rong Xian, while he brought to the north.
Speaking of the Imperial Concubine Wen, she had been quiet for a long time. Ever since the death of the Empress Xioayi, as the last wife of the most respected position in the palace, Imperial Concubine Wen had always tried her best to reveal her position everywhere, and always took care of small matters in the palace. However, in the past few months, she seemed to have changed a lot, and her mental state was getting worse by the second.
”Mistress, it's getting late. Let's rest early. We still have to leave tomorrow morning.” A middle-aged palace maid said to the Imperial Concubine Wen in a soft voice.
”That's right, it's time to rest. I'll only be out of the palace for a few nights and I'll be able to have a good night's sleep.” Imperial Concubine Wen who was blowing the night wind beside the window said softly, ”I really want to come out like this for my entire life. Only after leaving the palace can I find out that the world is actually so colorful and the air so fresh …”
”Master …” ”You've thought too much …” The palace maid sighed.
”Still haven't heard anything about your sister's death?” Imperial Concubine Wen turned and looked at her.
”Master, this servant has always worked hard to find out, but back then many of the palace maid s that were on duty in the Empress Xiaozhao Palace were sent out of the palace to unknown places, while the others could not be found out no matter what. The palace maid replied helplessly.
”There must be something wrong with that if you have an order to keep your mouth shut!” The Imperial Consort Wen muttered, then suddenly raised his head to look at palace maid, ”Tell me, when elder sister was still alive, the most favored person in the palace was the Imperial Concubine Rong, could it be that the Imperial Concubine Rong caused the death of elder sister?”
”Master, do you think that the Imperial Concubine Rong is like this?” palace maid replied hesitantly.
”That's right!” Imperial Consort Wen nodded his head, ”If a person's act of acting good can really reach such a stage, then it would be an extremely amazing ability!”
”Mistress, don't think too much. Recently, you've been thinking too much about insomnia.” The palace maid gently advised.
”That's right!” That's right! I can't think about it anymore. I'm really tired! ” The Imperial Consort Wen revealed a bitter smile, ”Have you prepared the medicine I asked you to prepare?”
”Reporting to Master, I'm ready. This servant has it with me. Master, do you really want to give this medicine to His Majesty?” palace maid asked uneasily.
”Didn't you say that you won't be harmed? ”Since there's no damage to the emperor, there's definitely no harm in doing so.” Imperial Consort Wen closed his eyes lightly. ”This patrol of the north might really be my last chance. I'm old, I want to let the Emperor pamper me again!”
”Yes!” This servant understands! ” Seeing Imperial Concubine Wen's expression that was close to despair, palace maid's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. ”Master, it's still the same, I can give up my life for you!”
