After listening to this, the Empress Dowager also felt that what the queen said was her heartfelt words, so she sighed and said, "Actually, as the queen, why don't you know the difficulties? It's also difficult for you. I know that you have suffered a lot from beginning to end, and I also know that you are a good child.

The queen quickly held the empress dowager. She showed her snow-white teeth and said with a smile, "Qianyi dares not take credit. Qianyi just wants to tell the empress dowager that no matter what happens, Qianyi will focus on the overall situation. It's just that this matter is not as simple as we think. Please forgive the empress dowager. If you say anything to your sister, the minister and concubine don't know how to deal with yourself in front of the emperor.

What she said is true every word, and every word is for the emperor. Naturally, the Empress Dowager can listen to it.

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "In that case, it's better for the family to come forward."

"Thank you for your understanding." After she finished speaking, she knelt down for the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was very comforted to see that she was so considerate and sensible.

On the second day, the Empress Dowager summoned Murong Qinglu in person.

Murong Qinglu suddenly heard that the Empress Dowager was summoned and expected that the situation was not good, but she still went to see the Empress Dowager.

When you see the empress dowager, you will beg to the empress dowager according to the law.

The Empress Dowager always had a thin smile on her face. She knew that Murong Qinglu had made great contributions to her son's accession to the throne, and also knew that she was a very capable person, but she could not ascend to the throne.

Although she didn't care, she still owed her after all. The Empress Dowager gave birth to a lot of emotions for no reason.

The Empress Dowager said to her, "Sit down."

Qingluo sat down next to her, and the Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring tea and pour water.

The Empress Dowager said to Murong Qinglu with a smile, "You can taste this tea. This tea is this year's Mao Jian. I believe you also like it."

After tasting it, Murong Qingruo really felt the fragrance, so he repeatedly praised, "The nature that the Empress Dowager can see is not ordinary. It's really very good."

"It's hard for you. I often come to accompany my family to drink tea and chat, and my family is also very comforted. Qinglu, you have always been a sensible child, and your family has always loved you, but there is one thing that is not done properly. Do you know it yourself?

The Empress Dowager asked her quietly.

Murong Qinglu sighed and thought, what he was most afraid of was the result.

But since it's happened, what can we do?

So she deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager said?"

"Aijia is not an outsider with you. Naturally, I don't want to lie in front of you, or say some polite words. Aijia wants to talk to you about the disease of red silk today. You must already know about the smallpox.

"My concubine already knows it." Murong Qinglu said lightly.

"In this case, I don't understand. Why don't you isolate her and continue to leave her in the palace? Do you know that you may be infected if it goes on like this?

Murong Qingluo is still nod slowly, and her tone is light.

"Qinglu knows that it's just that Hongyu has been with my concubine for so long, and I have always been loyal to my concubine. I really can't bear to isolate her. If I isolate her, there will probably be only one way to die. Please forgive me."

"I feel very gratified to know that you are a good child with deep affection, but although this is the case, it can't be done by your temperament. Hongyan is to kiss you again. Can you kiss the emperor? No matter how important the red silk is to you, can it be more important than the emperor? You know that the emperor loves you very much and often goes to you. If he is accidentally infected with smallpox by red silk, what should he do? He can't bet on the emperor's life.

If you had known this, Murong Qinglu had to say to the empress dowager: "What the empress dowager said is true, and Qinglu also knows it in her heart, but the emperor's favor is important, and the lives of her sisters can't be ignored. After careful consideration, Qingluo decided to ask the emperor not to come to the concubine's palace for the time being. After Hongqi's illness is cured, he will ask the emperor to come.

"Absurd!" The Empress Dowager suddenly became furious.

She thought she had given Murong Qinglu a lot of face and said so much to Murong Qinglu.

I didn't expect her to be so stubborn, but she was still arguing there.

The Empress Dowager felt that she was too unreasonable in this matter. No wonder she asked the queen to persuade her. The queen didn't go, saying that the queen had already seen her stubbornness.

The Empress Dowager said awe-inspiringly, "Who is the emperor? The emperor is the grand master of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the monarch of the world. Is it the king's land under the whole world? Is it the king's minister on the shore of the earth? The people in the world are the emperor's ministers. How can the emperor not even set foot in the place of his prickly heat concubine for the life of a slave maidservant? In this way, where is the emperor's majesty and face? How can the emperor face the courtiers in the future?

The Empress Dowager's words were heard in Murong Qinglu's ears, and Murong Qinglu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In fact, it is true. If it is known that the emperor can't set foot in his concubine's palace because of a maid's illness, it will become a laughing stock in the world, and even be criticized for the emperor's incompetence.

But in spite of this, do you want to watch Hongyan die?

Murong Qinglu's heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.

She has always been indifferent since she was a child, and she is very calm no matter what she does.

Except for the entangled relationship with Murong Mengze, nothing can hurt her, and nothing can embarrass her.

But now this matter really makes her feel sad, makes her feel that her strength is small, and she doesn't know what to do.

She sighed and knew that it was useless to persevere.

The Empress Dowager's heart for her son is naturally very strong. How could she listen to her own opinions?

So she asked the empress dowager and said, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants me to do?"

"It's very simple. I hope you can take care of the overall situation and treat those insignificant people. You have to remember your identity all the time. You are a dignified imperial concubine. How can you be in chaos for a small orphan girl? Don't you think so?"

Murong Qinglu knew that she was unable to return to heaven, so she said to the empress dowager, "The empress dowager's words are all in mind. When Qinglu goes back, she will follow the order of the empress dowager."

"Since you think so, that's right. It's the good daughter-in-law of the mourning family. Well, my family has never treated you as an outsider. Go back quickly.

"Yes." Murong Qingruo nodded, and she came out with a heavy face.

After walking out, a red shadow has been emerging in my mind, and I feel more and more nervous.

Is it because of the death of the red silk? This is definitely what she doesn't want to see.

But if you don't do this, what should you do?

For a moment, I only felt that my heart was ups and downs, but I didn't know what to do.

I've never been so confused, and I've never been so sad.

Murong Qinglu had just returned to the palace, and the Empress Dowager's decree came from behind.

The Empress Dowager ordered to isolate the red silk immediately.

When the red silk was brought out, her eyes were very sad.

She looked at Murong Qinglu with infinite sadness and knelt down for Murong Qinglu.

She wanted Murong Qinglu to plead, "Mother, please help me. You know that if you are taken away and isolated, you will probably die."

Murong Qinglu didn't know it. She nodded and said to the father-in-laws who took away the red silk, "Dir-in-law..."

Who knows that she only said half a word and was interrupted by those eunuchs.

The eunuchs said to Murong Qinglu, "Your concubine, if you want us to let the red girl go, then there is no need to say. This is what the Empress Dowager ordered. Presumably you know very well. How dare we disobey the meaning of the Empress Dowager? What did the Empress Dowager say? If it goes against the meaning of the Empress Dowager, isn't there only one way to die? Please also ask the imperial concubine to understand our feelings.

"In this case, you wait here first, go to see the emperor, and then take people away after the emperor's order."

"This is not in line with the rules." The eunuch said quickly.

Murong Qingluo's expression became majestic and said slowly, "This is my bedroom. Naturally, I am the largest in this palace. What I say is what I say. You wait here, and no one is allowed to leave."

After saying that, she went out to see the emperor. After arriving at the emperor's bedroom, she found that the emperor was not there.

He went straight to the south study, and the emperor was not in the south study.

After several insults, she knew that the emperor was with the queen. Although it was a little irregular to go in like this, she rushed there immediately when she thought of Hongyu's life.

After arriving, I saw the emperor and the queen chatting while tasting tea, and the two of them were also on good terms.

Seeing her coming, the queen was a little surprised and said with a smile, "Why is the noble sister here? Now that you're here, you might as well sit down and have a chat with me and the emperor.

"No need."

Murong Qingluo shook his head with a grim look and went to the emperor and said to Huangfu Shangyin, "Please make the decision."

The emperor rarely saw her appearance, and he didn't know what had happened. He even asked her, "Qinglu, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry and break into the queen?"

Murong Qinglu had to say truthfully, "Qinglu came to the emperor to talk to the emperor about the red silk."

"Who is the red silk?" The emperor was a little confused for a moment.

"It's my concubine's personal maid." Murong Qinglu said to him truthfully.

"Oh? What's wrong with your maid? Are you coming to me for a close maid of honor?

The emperor thought it was a little incredible.

"Not bad."

She said solemnly to the emperor, "Well, my concubine's close maid of honor is suffering from smallpox. Now the Empress Dowager has ordered to isolate her, because she is afraid that the emperor will not infect the emperor when she goes to her."

"It's not wrong for the mother to do so."

He nodded to Murong Qinglu and said, "Qinglu, what are you doing here to me?"

Murong Qinglu looked at the emperor and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I hope you can promise Qinglu a ruthless invitation."

"You said." There was no expression on the emperor's face.

"I hope the emperor will not step into my concubine's bedroom in the near future. I don't want to isolate the red silk."

"What did you say?" The emperor was immediately angry.

He didn't expect that he was not as good as one of Murong Qinglu's maids in Murong Qinglu's mind, which made the emperor suffer a great stimulation.

The emperor looked at her and said word by word, "Do you want to tell me that in your mind, I am not even as good as one of your maidservants?"

"It doesn't mean that."

She shook her head and hurriedly said to the emperor, "I really don't mean that. I just want to tell the emperor that the emperor is very important in my heart, so I will say something to the emperor. For my concubine, she is not just a maid of honor. She once died with my concubine. Yes, she is a good sister of my concubine. Your Majesty, I hope you can agree to my concubine.

When Huangfu Shangyin heard her say so, he was a little considerate of her.

Seeing her look sad again, there was a feeling of pity and cherishing jade from her heart for a moment.

When she was about to promise her, the queen said casually, "Sister Qinglu is also very indifferent. It doesn't matter to the emperor's favor. Everyone in the harem is eager to let the emperor step into his own palace so that the emperor can spoil her, but my sister regards the favor so lightly. It's really admirable to me."

Every word the queen said was very sincere, as if she really admired Murong Qinglu's free and easy-going.

Who knows that the meaning changed in the emperor's ears when he heard this.

The emperor has long known that there is a man in Murong Qingluo's heart. Now after hearing what the emperor said, he feels more and more that the reason why Murong Qinglu does not pay attention to himself is that the reason why she does this is just an excuse to not go to her bedroom.

That is to say, although she is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, she has never come to her heart, and what she likes in her heart is always someone else.

At the thought of this, the emperor felt very sad and angry. All his peace turned into anger in an instant.

He stared at Murong Qinglu and said to her word, "Qinglu, listen carefully. You are my imperial concubine. Whenever I want you, I want you. Whenever I want to go to you, I will go to you. No one can stop it. This is your obligation. You have to do this. You let me give up my dignity for a little maid of honor. I won't promise you. Don't dream anymore. If you go, I don't want to see you.

With that, he waved his hand and let Murong Qinglu leave.

Although Murong Qinglu is a person with a clear mind, it is still unexpected for the emperor to be angry like this.

She was slightly stunned and wanted to continue to say something. The queen had come to her and helped her up and said to her, "Sister Qinglu, don't talk to the emperor any more. You see, the emperor has been so angry now. If you continue to talk, it will only make things worse. Listen to me. Sister, let's leave first. As for the emperor, I will help you persuade him well. What do you think?

She said to Murong Qinglu with earnest words.

After listening to it, Murong Qinglu felt that what the queen said seemed to be reasonable.

The emperor is now furious, and I'm afraid he can't listen to what others say.

"Thank you so much, Empress." Murong Qinglu said to the queen sincerely.

The queen smiled and told the man, "Why don't you send Sister Qinglu back quickly?"

Those people agreed and hurried forward and said, "Your concubine, please."

Murong Qinglu left with the eunuchs, and the queen sat back to her seat as if nothing had happened.

When she saw that the emperor's dragon face was furious, she was also a little uncomfortable. She knew that the emperor cared too much about Murong Qinglu.

So she smiled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, my sister is also thinking about it for a while. The emperor should not blame her. Which woman in this harem is not eager to get the emperor's favor, and which one is not eager to get the emperor's favor?" I believe that my sister will never be an exception. We are all the emperor's women. The emperor's favor is the supreme glory for us. My sister will never want to let the emperor go up. Maybe she really has a deep relationship with that maid. Although she is a little maid, she can't be very happy with her sister.

The queen smiled faintly and said these words calmly, like water waves, but there were turbulent waves hidden in it.
