Congratulations on opening the coffin

"It's not good, it's not good!"

The quiet morning was broken by a loud cry.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Shen Ruo, who was drinking porridge and playing a small fan, lost his appetite even more because of the noise.

She simply threw the small spoon back into the bowl with one hand, looked up at Qiao Ran who was running in a hurry, and said impatiently: "Can't you be quieter? You are noisy and messy every day, and you look like a prince of South Vietnam ?"

"Is this the time to talk about this? But the war is about to begin!"

Qiao Ran was furious, sweating on his head, snatched the fan from Shen Ruo's hand, and fanned himself frantically.

"War?" Zhu Yan, who was eating silently, raised her head in astonishment, "Okay, why is there a war all of a sudden? Don't talk nonsense."

"Where am I talking nonsense, the information shows that the Yelang Kingdom is mobilizing a large number of troops and gathering at the border, isn't it going to war?"

When Zhu Yan heard this, she panicked, "Could it be because of Concubine Xi?"

She subconsciously glanced at the silent Shen Ruo, puzzled, "But Princess Yelang killed Concubine Xi, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, it is only natural to execute Princess Yelang, this Yelang Where does the country have the face to use the army to threaten Xiao Guo to release people?"

Even Zhu Yan, who has always been gentle and pleasant, scoffed at this matter, which shows that Yelang Kingdom did not behave kindly in this matter.

Qiao Ran spread her hands helplessly, "I'm not Prince Yelang, who knows what's going on in his mind."

"Even if there is a war, Yelang Country is just a small country on the border. Although it has richer products, it will definitely not be my opponent of Xiao Country?" Zhu Yan eagerly sought opinions from several people at the table.

However, Qiao Ran threw the question to Shen Ruo: "I have to ask her now."

"Me? I'm a person who lives in the mansion all day, what can I know?"

If Qiao Ran hadn't come to tell her these things, she might not know anything.

But Qiao Ran came closer and asked her in a low voice: "Didn't he come to you to talk about these things? No way, I don't believe you two didn't have a private relationship."

Shen Ruo glanced at him, didn't say yes or no, only after a while, said leisurely: "I don't think this battle should be able to be fought."

"Why?" Qiao Ran and Zhu Yan both moved their heads closer and looked at her curiously.

"...But it's not without surprises."

Qiao Ran almost rolled her eyes: "When will you talk nonsense?"

Shen Ruo still looked calm and relaxed: "In short, it doesn't matter if we fight or not, we just need to live our own life well."

But when it came to these things, Shen Ruo didn't have much appetite at all, so he just got up and walked out, just to eat and relax.

Passing the courtyard, she heard the crisp sound of clashing weapons. When she got closer, she saw two figures, one big and one small, practicing moves.

Just as he was practicing, Lin'er had sharp eyes and saw the half-moon white skirt exposed behind the rockery. He immediately signaled to Huaci who accompanied him in the trick, put away his sword, and shouted towards the rockery: "Mother, you are here!" ?”

Seeing that he had been discovered, Shen Ruo had no choice but to come out from behind the rocky mountain, and smiled softly, "Did I bother you?"

Lin'er had just finished training, her fair face was flushed, and her black eyes were even brighter like stars: "No, brother Huaci has been practicing with me these few days. Meal is over, as long as mother is not angry."

"You work so hard, how can I be angry with you for these little things?"

Shen Ruo hilariously took out a handkerchief and wiped Lin'er's sweat before turning to look at Huaci, "It's been really hard for you these days."

He also practiced all morning, but he still looks refreshed, and he seems to be able to feel the air-conditioning from him all over his body. When facing people other than Zhu Yan, he always speaks, especially concisely: "polite."

Shen Ruo felt a little helpless, so she didn't say anything more, and asked Lin'er to practice for a while, then go to have breakfast, don't be hungry.

Lin'er obediently said yes, and then went back to continue practicing swords with Huaci.

Shen Ruo watched quietly from the side, and couldn't help but think of what they had just talked about with Qiao Ran. Since the death of Concubine Xi, Xiao Chen has never been here again, and she didn't go looking for him on purpose, she believed him. Surely these things can be sorted out.

However, if it is true that the two countries have misfired and started a war...

Shen Ruo took out a gold medal from the space, and rubbed the edge of the token with her thumb. The sharp edges and corners made her fingers feel a little painful. She hesitated whether to go or not.

But soon, she won't have to worry about it.

Because someone else made the decision for her.

The palace actually sent someone to invite her into the palace, but this person was not Emperor Xiao, but someone Shen Ruo didn't expect.

"Miss Shen, please."

The little eunuch who led the way stood in front of the palace gate and respectfully gestured for her to come in.

Shen Ruo, however, stood in front of the high threshold, looked up, and saw three words—Kunning Palace—on the golden plaque with a black background.

After many days, I came here again, but it was a little different from the last time.

At that time, the air was filled with the strong bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine that made people unable to breathe, but this time the smell of medicine has faded, but there is a trace of tranquil sandalwood fragrance.

Just when the little eunuch was hesitating whether to urge him, Shen Ruo finally lifted his foot and stepped in.

In the magnificent palace, there is a white jade Bodhisattva statue, with sandalwood lit on both sides, and wisps of white smoke rise gracefully from the hollow purple gold furnace.

In front of the Bodhisattva statue, there was a plain-clothed woman kneeling devoutly. It wasn't until the maid next to her called her softly that Shen Ruo realized that the person was the noble and graceful queen, Su Minglan.

She coiled the Buddhist beads in her hand and recited the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. She did it very seriously, and she didn't even notice that someone came in. It was the maid who reminded her, so she slowly opened her eyes. With the help of the maid, Pingting got up and turned to Shen Ruo: "I made you laugh."

Shen Ruo saw that she didn't seem to be looking for trouble when she called her this time, so she simply asked, "What do you want to come to me this time?"

"I want you to help me persuade the emperor."

Mentioning this matter, Su Minglan showed a sad look on his face, "After thinking about it, only you can persuade the emperor."

"Don't play charades, first tell me what's going on?"

Such a disrespectful attitude naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the queen's personal maid. She just wanted to reprimand Shen Ruo, but Su Minglan raised her hand to stop her.

She unconsciously moved the prayer beads with her hand, and said softly: "It's a long story, you and I should sit down and talk about it first."

Shen Ruo didn't care about it, but he still reminded: "You'd better make a long story short, otherwise I may not stay in Kunning Palace for a long time."
