Chapter 443: The Dark Protection 2
Rong Yue spread out her palms and looked at the knot of love quietly placed in her palms. She couldn't help but think of many past events between her and Xiao Jingyan.
Whether sour, sweet or bitter, she cherishes them all and dares not forget even a little bit.
Zhaohua once told her that Jiang Muye was the only thing that kept Shangyang alive in the palace.
And for Yu Rongyue, isn’t Xiao Jingyan also her thought?
a long time,
After Rong Yue recovered from her shock, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Ru Ge and said to her meaningfully,
"This knot of love protects me and you as well."
Ruge was confused, "Huh?"
Rong Yue glanced in the direction of the east side hall and said, "Send your people to take a close look at everything in your palace."
Yesterday, after Ru Ge moved into Zhuixia Palace, many new concubines came to meet her and gave her many eye-catching gifts.
Ru Ge's mother once told her that people in the palace were unpredictable and that she should not have any intention to harm others, but also not trust others completely. Therefore, Ru Ge had asked Xiao Liu'er to check those gifts carefully and only kept them after confirming that there was no problem.
So she said, "What are you doubting, Your Majesty? I have checked all the gifts sent by the concubines yesterday."
"Really?" Rong Yue sneered, "Then bring your gouache box here and show it to me."
Ru Ge was confused, but still asked Xiao Liu'er to bring the watercolor.
She first opened the box and checked the gouache, and after making sure there was nothing wrong with it, she handed it to Rong Yue.
"I used this gouache this morning. What's wrong with it?"
Rong Yue remained silent and just looked up at the sun outside the window.
Although it is autumn now, the weather is cool both in the morning and in the evening.
But at noon, the bright sun is still scorching, and it can burn people directly.
Rong Yue opened the gouache box and casually placed it on the windowsill where it could be exposed to the sun.
Then he continued chatting with Ruge as if nothing had happened.
About half a quarter of an hour later,
Ru Ge suddenly noticed that the gouache that was originally placed on the windowsill suddenly caught fire for no reason!
She was so scared that she stood up and took several steps back, looking at Rong Yue in surprise.
"Empress Shun, this..."
But Rong Yue calmly took out a handkerchief from the basin, covered the burning watercolor with it and put out the fire.
Then he turned to Ruge and said, "Wash your face, or else this fire will burn on your face when you go out."
Ruge has been well protected by her family since she was young. How could she have ever seen such a dangerous thing?
I had to wash my face seven or eight times, rubbing it until my face turned red, and then I asked with lingering fear:
"Could your Majesty Shunfei tell me what is going on?"
Rong Yue asked, "Have you noticed that your makeup today looks a little gray in the dark, which is very different from the snow-white and clear face when I first saw you?"
Ruge recalled silently,
What Rong Yue said was that she had already noticed it when she was getting up in the morning and dressing up.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong at the time. She just thought that she didn't sleep well the night before, so her complexion looked a little bad.
Seeing her nodding with a trembling heart, Rong Yue said:
"You used pear blossom powder, but when I got close to you just now, I smelled a faint pungent smell mixed with the pear fragrance.
My father was a naval commander, and he would always prepare some phosphorus powder when he went out to sea. It was very flammable, and it would spontaneously combust if exposed to the sun for a while. When marching at sea, adding a little phosphorus powder to wet firewood would easily ignite the firewood, and it was a good thing to start a fire at sea.
So the faint pungent smell on your face may not be detectable to others, but I can tell it instantly. In addition, phosphorus powder is white-gray in color, and your makeup is light gray, so I guessed that someone took advantage of the time when they went to your palace to flatter you yesterday and secretly mixed phosphorus powder into your gouache box while you were not paying attention. "
Hearing this, Ru Ge stroked her cheek in disbelief, and her face suddenly lost all color...
If Rong Yue hadn't reminded her, it would have been her face that would have been burned by the midday sun.
Rong Yue saw Ru Ge's fear and said:
"You are not an ordinary person. Among all the beautiful ladies, you are the only one who has been granted a title by the emperor. This is a favor, but I don't know how many people will be jealous of you.
The concubines who went to your side hall yesterday have all come to pay their respects to me. Those seven or eight concubines have all been to your inner chamber. If you want to find out who did it, or who worked together to do it, it's probably too late. For now, the only way is to be careful in the future so that you can avoid being schemed against by others as much as possible."
Ruge was so frightened that the breath seemed to choke her throat and she couldn't speak.
She could only nod continuously in response to Rong Yue's words.
Just when she was extremely shocked, she suddenly felt a gentle force on the back of her hand.
Looking back,
Then she saw Rong Yue holding her hand, gently patting the back of her hand, and said softly:
"You helped me out today, and I will protect you tomorrow, so don't be afraid."
