Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 17
Several maids behind Concubine Lin hurried forward to support her, which prevented her from falling in embarrassment, but her little face was pale and bloodless from fright.

It was not until a long while before Concubine Lin took back the frightened Xianghun, seeing how pitiful it was, only a steel straight man like Xiao Chen could be so merciless.

Concubine Lin Gui couldn't be arrogant and domineering for a while in the face of such a reckless guy, but she still cursed stubbornly: "Xiao Chen, you bastard, I will let the emperor punish you for your crime! After protecting that old guy, can you protect her forever? She was born as a member of my Yu'an Palace, and she is also a ghost of my Yu'an Palace when she dies, you just wait for me!"

Xiao Chen also knew that he was impulsive today, but Nanny Qin had saved his life several times back then, no matter what, it was impossible for him to see Nanny being beaten to death.

His expression sank, and he pulled Nanny up from the ground: "Mommy, come with me to the palace, no one can hurt you."

However, people did not expect that the nanny refused: "I have an old body, I should have died long ago, don't implicate the palace because of my old body."

"Nurse..." Xiao Chen was very anxious, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

At this time, Concubine Lin Gui, who was quite like a shit-stirring stick, did not forget to add fuel to the fire: "Hmph, that old thing is my slave, so I didn't ask me if I would let you take that old thing away." !"

"You..." Xiao Chen clenched his fists, and the killing intent in his heart became more and more irrepressible. The woman in front of him killed his mother and concubine, and even wanted to kill Nanny Qin, who had treated him so well, Xiao Chen's eyes turned red .

Just when the scene was almost out of control, Shen Ruo, who was ignored by everyone, suddenly spoke up, and the Qing Lingling voice was like ice and snow, refreshing all the angry people: "This cat is so cute."

"..."

The atmosphere at the scene froze for a moment, and everyone looked at Shen Ruo as if they were looking at a fool. Doesn't this guy know how to read the atmosphere?

Concubine Lin Gui, who was extremely cat slave, was in a hurry: "What do you want to do to my baby? Don't you want to take it as a hostage and threaten me?"

Shen Ruo touched the Persian cat in his arms. This cat was in good condition, with a smooth coat, and it was well-raised by its owner.

Just when Concubine Lin Gui was so anxious to call for someone to save the cat, Shen Ruo said unhurriedly: "This cat seems to have a leg problem..."

"Nonsense, Xiao Mi walks with a limp, and everyone can tell." Concubine Lin Gui stopped the conversation, but her eyes were still fixed on the kitten in Shen Ruo's hand. As soon as Ruo raised his hand, he dropped the cat.

"..." Shen Ruo, who was interrupted, was silent for a while, she realized that she shouldn't judge people by their appearance before, this Concubine Lin Gui is clearly a stupid beauty, her mind is empty.

Shen Ruo took a deep breath, and continued: "Fortunately, it's not long, and I'm still saved."

"Really!?" Lin Guifei's eyes lit up immediately, but soon she became suspicious again, "How does this palace know if what you said is true or not?"

Shen Ruo glanced at Mother Qin who was at the side, and said slowly, "Isn't there a hostage in your hands?"

As soon as she was reminded, Concubine Lin immediately put away the worry on her face, and regained her airs as a concubine: "You are right, you can ask me to let that old guy go, you have to make sure that I treat Xiao Mi well." It's as good as before, otherwise I will let that old guy suffer Ling Chi's punishment."

Ling Chi, that is the terrible criminal law that makes people die only after they are consciously sliced ​​into hundreds of pieces of flesh.

Mother Qin was so frightened that her old face turned blue, Xiao Chen also leaned forward and asked, "Can you do it?"

Shen Ruo glanced at him dissatisfied, and said to herself: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely cure Xiao Mi it completely."

Concubine Lin Guigui nodded her head: "That's fine, just mention what you need, you can stay in the palace for a few days."

Shen Ruo's heart tightened when she heard the words, she can't let people know about the space, after thinking about it, she said slowly: "I'm sorry, ma'am, some necessary equipment is not easy to carry into the palace, can you let me take the cat out of the palace?" to the palace."

However, Concubine Lin Gui flew into a rage and said, "Are you teasing me!?"

The maids and eunuchs on the side bowed their heads in fright and kept silent, but Shen Ruo still didn't change her face: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I said that there are hostages in your hands, so naturally I dare not tease your Majesty, but that thing is really troublesome, I guarantee it will last for three days." Afterwards, the kitten will be returned safely."

"Three days?"

This time, Concubine Lin took it for granted that she was uttering wild words, that there were so many imperial doctors in the palace, none of them could cure her cat, a yellow-haired girl dared to speak out.

Concubine Lin Gui lowered her eyes and lazily said: "Okay, I will give you this chance."

She would like to see what tricks this girl can play. If she can't cure her little mi after three days, she will not only kill the old guy, but also find a way to kill Xiao Chen.

Since it can't be used by her, it can't be cheap, that old witch of the queen.

Concubine Lin Guifei withdrew her thoughts and waved her hand lazily: "Although the death penalty is inevitable, the living penalty is inevitable. Lock up that old bastard first and wait for three days to make a decision." She stopped talking nonsense and turned around to sit back in the imperial court. , was shaken and carried away by four eunuchs.

Xiao Chen looked at Nanny Qin who was about to be escorted away, took a step forward, endured it, looked back at Shen Ruo, and asked again uncertainly: "Are you really sure?"

Shen Ruo hugged the cat and walked forward, throwing back the words he once said: "The employer is not suspicious, the employer is not suspicious."

After leaving the palace, the two sat in the carriage back home, facing each other two by two, speechless for a while.

After a while, Xiao Chen said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you for your help this time."

While stroking the cat, Shen Ruo replied casually: "After all, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. I still understand the principle that if one prospers, one prospers, one loses the other."

She paused for a moment, then added: "Besides, you helped me in front of the queen before, so it's repaying your favor."

On weekdays, he only thought of her as capricious and rebellious, but he did not expect her to have such a clear love and hate. Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and said slowly: "You are welcome."

"By the way, what is the hatred between you and the imperial concubine?"

Although Shen Ruo is not a curious person, but this matter is more related to herself, she can't help asking, "However, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "There's nothing you can't say, you can just ask the old people in the palace about these things, and you don't need to hide them from you."

"My concubine mother is the daughter of a guilty minister. She was sent to the palace as a court lady, and then entered Yu'an Palace. After several twists and turns, she became Lin Guifei's personal maid."

He lowered his eyes and fell into the memory: "Later, when Concubine Lin Gui was in confinement, she was favored by the emperor, and she was named a talented person, which was considered favored. However, Concubine Lin Gui, who felt betrayed, designed to frame my concubine mother. If she is pregnant, she will only be thrown into the limbo."

"But even so, Concubine Lin Gui didn't let her go, and poisoned her, causing her to give birth prematurely..."

After that, Xiao Chen couldn't continue, and Shen Ruo guessed roughly, and finally understood where the cold illness on his body came from.
