Before Ling Ruo could say anything, Yang Hai had already opened the door and walked in. He called Qian'er and said, "Master, I have found out that the queen has sent Yingchun away from the garden."
Shui Xiu and Shui Yue looked at each other in surprise, both of them unable to believe that the queen, who had always been cruel and ruthless, let Ying Chun go this time and just kicked her out of the garden.
In comparison, Ling Ruo seemed much calmer. Fuyi asked, "When did this happen?"
"It's been a while, because the emperor was here just now, the servant didn't dare to come in and reply." Yang Hai answered truthfully and said rather strangely: "It stands to reason that the queen already knew that Yingchun had betrayed her, so why did she let Yingchun out of the garden?
Considering the Queen’s temperament, I should kill Yingchun to vent my anger.”
"This is the Queen's brilliance. Killing Yingchun can certainly relieve the hatred in your heart, but in the end the gain will outweigh the loss." Ling Ruo's words made Yang Hai and others look at each other, confused by the meaning of her words.
Ling Ruo said slowly: "Those words that Yingchun said before were not enough to bring down the Nala family, but they made the emperor suspicious. Otherwise, the emperor would not have treated him so coldly in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. What Yingchun committed was to frame his master.
crime,
If it's a serious matter, even death is a minor offense; but if it's a minor matter, if the crime does not lead to death, it depends on how she is sentenced. The reason why the emperor asked the queen to deal with her was because he wanted to see whether her character was really gentle or fake.
.”
Yang Hai gradually understood what Ling Ruo meant, "Master is saying that the queen guessed that the emperor was testing her, so she didn't kill Yingchun?"
"Not bad." Ling Ruo stood up and walked slowly to the window. As the window door opened, a cold wind blew in with snowflakes, causing the charcoal fire in the basin to flicker. The sky outside was gradually getting dark.
Coming down, palace lanterns were lit everywhere in the garden.
The stars reflected in the water said, "The queen is really calm. If she were in this palace, she might not be able to calm down to that level. Presumably, the emperor already knew the news of Yingchun's departure from the garden before he came here, so the emperor seemed to be in a good mood.
That’s pretty good.”
Shui Yue said bitterly: "Every time I let the queen get through with mercy, I am so blind."
"If there is hatred in the sky, it will also grow old. The sky has no eyes." Ling Ruo sighed softly. When he closed the window, he was accidentally stung by a wooden thorn on the window lattice. The next moment, bright red blood beads appeared.
On the white fingertips.
"Ah! Master is bleeding, go get the ointment quickly." Shui Xiu was the first to see it, and quickly asked Shui Yue to go get the ointment.
"It's just a finger prick, no need to make a fuss." After saying this, Ling Ruo suddenly remembered another thing, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, "Yang Hai, hurry up and call Sanfu in. I am
If you have any questions about the palace, ask him."
Seeing that Ling Ruo looked wrong, Yang Hai didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly followed the instructions. Not long after, he brought Sanfu in. After saluting, Sanfu asked: "I wonder why the master is looking for a slave?"
Ling Ruogang elaborated on Yingchun, and then said: "According to my understanding of the queen, she is a person who must retaliate for her teeth. Although this time she was forced to let Yingchun go because of the emperor, she will never be kind.
When I give up, I will definitely try to kill Yingchun to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Sanfu agreed with her words, and then said: "Master, are you saying that the queen will attack outside the palace?"
Ling Ruo slightly narrowed her cold eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, just like the queen sent people to hunt down me, kill them all."
Shuiyue heard this and said in confusion: "It's really strange. The queen has lived in the palace for a long time, how can she control things outside the palace?"
Sanfu said calmly: "It's not surprising. Although the queen is inconvenient to deal with matters outside the palace, there are naturally people to handle it for her, such as Mr. Yingge. Not only the queen, but also many empresses and mistresses in the palace have more or less relied on their natal family.
power."
Ling Ruo thought about it and said, "Sanfu, how much do you know about Yingge after you have been with the Queen for so many years?"
"Returning to the master, Yingge is a very capable person. After Master Yanggu could no longer manage due to illness, all matters in the Guogong Mansion were handled by Yingge. Although there was oppression from the Nian family before, the Duke's Mansion
He can still navigate it with ease, which shows that his ability is average, and now it is even more
Outstanding, but Yingge is different from Nian Gengyao, and the Queen is also different from the Nian family. Although the power is huge, she knows not to cross the emperor's limits, let alone be unscrupulous, so she has always kept a low profile, otherwise even if Fei Yanggu once
Even if he has made unparalleled military exploits, the emperor will not give him a title to rule the country.
The title of the duke. Although the servant is unwilling to admit it, in fact, the power of the Zhenguo duke in the court today is far greater than that of the Nian family in the past." Sanfu said a lot in one breath, and Ling Ruo also expressed his gratitude to Yingge and
I had a simple understanding of the forces behind it, and then added: "And as far as I know,
, there is a group of dead warriors raised in Yingge's house. Those dead warriors who once hunted down the master should be these dead warriors. Ever since they were adopted, they have been instilled with the idea of loyalty to the Nala family and are good at assassination. That day, the master
It's a great blessing to be able to escape from their hands."
After listening to Sanfu's narration, Ling Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and said with fear, "In terms of family power, this palace is indeed far inferior to the queen."
Although Ronglu and Rongxiang performed well and won Yinzhen's trust, they were weak and weak, and the Nala clan secretly suppressed them.
From now on, there has been no progress.
"Master, there is no need to belittle yourself. The Queen's family has been in business for several generations and has achieved today's prosperity, but the Master has only been here for a few years, and many things have happened in the process. In addition, if another person is included, the Master may not lose to the Queen."
Speaking of this, Sanfu showed a sly smile.
The other person? Ling Ruo was puzzled for a moment, and it took him a while to realize what he meant, "You mean Li Wei?"
"Yes, Mr. Li is now the governor of Zhejiang, with a first-class official position. The most important thing is that he has won the trust of the emperor. The emperor has always regarded him as his right-hand man. With him helping the master, the situation will be much better. The only inconvenience is
Mr. Li is a local official and is not in the capital." When he said the last sentence, Sanfu felt a little regretful.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Everything depends on the emperor's will. It is not good for Li Wei to ask the emperor to be transferred back to the capital for my sake. If the emperor is displeased because of this, I will harm him." Ling
Ruo shook his head as he spoke, and then added: "Don't mention this matter again."
"Yes." Sanfu responded and then said: "Master, do you want to save Yingchun?"
Ling Ruo lowered her head and wiped the blood from her fingertips, and sighed: "Yes, the reason why Yingchun got killed was all because of me. If it wasn't for helping me, she would be fine now. Although I know that she
My hands are already stained with countless blood, but I always want not to stain more." At this point, she sneered and said: "Sanfu, am I being hypocritical?"
