Ling Ruo's face instantly became extremely ugly. He quickly came to Shu Mulu and said sternly: "Why did your silk bag appear in Hongli's room? And does Hongli's poisoning have anything to do with you?"
In fact, Ling Ruo wanted to directly ask Shu Mulu whether she poisoned Hongli, but since Yinzhen was present and there was no substantial evidence, such words could not be said easily.
Mrs. Shumulu waved her hands in panic and said, "No, I don't know anything."
Ling Ruo snatched the silk bag from Shui Yue's hand and threw it at Shu Mulu's face, "You yourself admitted that this silk bag is yours, and now you don't know what you said to me. Do you think I will believe it?"
"
"I really don't know anything. It's true that I made the silk bag with my own hands. However, during this period, neither I nor the people around me have ever been to Chengqian Palace, nor have I seen Fourth Brother.
, so you ask me now, does my concubine really reply?
I can't answer." She was about to burst into tears when she spoke. She turned to Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, if my concubine is related to Si Age's poisoning, how could he take the initiative to admit that this silk bag belongs to me? I should have
Just deny it in every possible way!"
A trace of hesitation flashed in Yinzhen's eyes. After hesitating for a while, he said to Ling Ruo: "Fei Xi, what Jiahui said makes some sense. You should calm down first."
Ling Ruo suddenly turned around and said in a cold and stern voice that Yinzhen had never seen before: "Your Majesty, Hongli was tortured just now. If Dr. Xu hadn't arrived in time to detoxify him, Hongli would still be suffering from inhuman torture to this day.
, or even lose your life, how do you want me to calm down?"
Yinzhen did not blame Ling Ruo for being rude, but said nicely: "I know you are sad, but don't forget that Hongli is also my son, and I will not feel better than you. But now the matter is not clear, just rely on
A silk bag can't prove anything at all." Seeing Ling Ruo want to speak, he took the first step and said: "Anyway, I promise you, I will investigate this matter personally and I will definitely find the person who harmed Hongli, okay?"
Ling Ruo looked directly into Yinzhen's eyes. After a long time, she finally said: "Hongli's suffering cannot be in vain."
"I know that no one can harm me or your son." With that said, he asked Shuixiu to help Ling Ruo sit down in the chair, while he stared at the frightened Shu Mululu and said, "I ask you, what are you doing?"
Since it has nothing to do with Hongli's incident, then why did your silk bag appear in Hongli's room?"
Although he did not believe that Mr. Shu Mulu was this kind of person, this doubt did exist. If he could not explain it clearly, Mr. Shu Mulu would be the biggest suspect.
"I really don't know." Mrs. Shumulu knelt on the ground, staring at the silk bag that fell on the ground in despair, "I have been a little restless when sleeping at night these past few days, so I made a few silk bags.
It was used to hold dried flowers on the pillow to help sleep. At that time, my concubine thought it was fun, so she also used silk of the same color at the mouth of the bag.
There is a lilac flower embroidered on the thread, so I can recognize it, but I can't figure out why this silk bag appears in Si Age's room." At this point, she clutched Yinzhenming's yellow dragon robe.
He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, you must believe me. I have no enmity with Si Age, and there is no reason to harm him."
"Hongli may have no grudge against you, but what about me?" Ling Ruo suddenly said something, which attracted everyone's pity.
Yinzhen raised his eyes and said in confusion: "Fei Xi, why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that when Yushan came out and confessed to killing Seventh Brother, the Emperor asked me what I thought. At that time, I felt that Yushan was probably the same as the palace maid who was beside Wen Ruqing in the past.
The master takes the blame; perhaps Hui Gui remembered this sentence and thought that the concubine was deliberately targeting her or even harming her, so he tried to find a way to avenge the concubine."
"I don't have..." Mrs. Shu Mulu had just said a few words when Ling Ruo interrupted her with a cold face, "You know that the one I love most is Hongli. If anything happens to Hongli, I will definitely
The pain was unbearable, so you took action against Hongli to take revenge on me."
Shu Mulu's face changed slightly. She didn't expect that Ling Ruo could guess her thoughts just by guessing. No wonder she was able to achieve the position of a third-grade concubine. She was really quite capable.
Thinking like this, there was a look of sadness and injustice on his face, and he kept shaking his head and said: "I have not done this, I have never done this! Yes, I admitted that I was somewhat resentful of the empress at that time, but after being imprisoned, I
During that time, I had already figured it out, and the empress was just discussing the matter.
That's all, I didn't mean to target my concubine, and under the circumstances at that time, there were indeed many suspicious things about me, and I can't blame the empress at all. Besides, I'm fine now, so how can I remember the past things again? Your Majesty, my concubine
Everything I said is true and not a single word is false."
Ling Ruo sneered at her words. After Yinzhen made a silent gesture to Ling Ruo, he looked at the tearful Shu Mulu with a complex expression and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I want to know why you came so suddenly today.
Chengqian Palace, since I regained my position, I remember that you have never been to Chengqian Palace. Do you really have no grudge against Concubine Xi?"
Shu Mulu's heart trembled. She knew that Concubine Xi's harsh words just now made Yinzhen suspicious of her. She kowtowed quickly and said, "If I go back to the emperor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Concubine Xiao's lychees over before. I think they are good.
I wanted to give it to the emperor to taste, but when I arrived at Yangxin Hall, the palace people said that the emperor
Come up to Chengqian Palace. The reason why I have not come to Chengqian Palace before is because I am afraid that Concubine Xi will not like me. After all, the incident with the Seventh Prince made my concubine have some misunderstandings about me." At this point, she looked at it in fear.
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said with a disappointed look on her face: "Listening to what the empress just said, I know that this misunderstanding has not been eliminated."
"Since you were afraid that I would be displeased, why did you come here eagerly today? Did you know early in the morning that something happened to Hongli today, so you waited for the opportunity to come over and see how Hongli was suffering?"
"I'm wronged!" Shu Mulu said with aggrieved tears: "I didn't want to come here originally, but when I walked back halfway, I felt that I had already brought the lychees. It would be a pity to take them back as they were. It would be better.
Sent to Chengqian Palace
Let the empress and the emperor try something new together. Unexpectedly, after the palace people went in to report, they said that the emperor and the empress met the concubine flawlessly. The concubine was surprised and asked the palace people a few questions, and then she knew that something happened to the fourth elder brother. Before that, the concubine
I really don’t know anything about it.”
Ru Liu took the opportunity to open the basket she brought and revealed the lychees inside. She kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, each of these lychees was hand-picked by the master. At that time, the master really just wanted to give these lychees to the emperor and the empress."
I just tried it, and I didn’t expect that so many things would happen.”
