Shu Mulu was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. It wasn't until Dai Jia was pulled out of Chengqian Palace that she covered her chest and looked at Yinzhen with a sad look on her face: "Obviously everything has been found out, why does she still want to do this?"
Such an injustice to my concubine."
"Don't pay attention to her." After comforting her, Yinzhen personally helped her up and said, "Okay, it's okay. You can go back."
Mr. Shumulus nodded meekly, and after he left, all the imperial doctors also left respectively. At the same time, when the clock was called outside, it was already the third watch.
When they were the only two people left in the palace, Ling Ruo said to Yinzhen, who was rubbing his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, you have to go to court later, so go and rest for a while."
"I'm fine." After that, he added: "I don't know how Hongli is doing. I want to go in and see him."
Ling Ruo nodded and said, "I, my concubine, will go with you."
Entering the inner hall, Hongli was still sleeping. There was no maddening itching. He slept soundly. Yinzhen tucked the brocade quilt for him and said: "Fortunately, Dr. Xu is here this time, otherwise Hongli would be afraid that
Li is still suffering, and whenever I think of Hongli's suffering, I wish I could kill Dai Jia."
Ling Ruo lowered his head and said nothing. At this moment, Yinzhen believed that Dai Jia was the murderer and would not listen to anything she said. However, luckily, Dai Jia's life was spared, so that Yinzhen did not kill innocent people by mistake.
Seeing Ling Ruo lowering his head and saying nothing, Yinzhen asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ling Ruo shook her head, "It's nothing. Since the Emperor doesn't want to rest, how about I accompany you to watch the starry sky?"
"That's fine." Yinzhen responded, and walked into the courtyard with Ling Ruo. The stars were twinkling in the night sky, and countless stars were quietly embedded in the sky like gems.
"Decades have passed, and the night sky is still the same, without any change, but I have changed from a boy to a middle-aged man." Yinzhen said with emotion: "There are many things that have changed unconsciously, such as Dai Jia.
Madam, when I was in the dormitory, I thought she was quite honest, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name all day long, but I didn't expect that after entering the palace, she became so vicious, and even wanted to harm you because of her position."
Yinzhen has always been worried about sparing Dai Jia's life. If Ling Ruo hadn't begged for mercy, he would never have nodded.
Ling Ruo held his hand and said softly: "The matter has already passed. Why does the emperor need to mention it? Besides, aren't I and Hongli on good terms?"
"Yes, fortunately you are all fine, otherwise I don't know what to do." At this point, Yinzhen showed a trace of fear in his eyebrows, "I have lost many people, and I don't want to lose both of you."
"No, I and Hongli will stay with the emperor." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, his warm lips fell on his forehead, and at the same time, Yinzhen's voice came to his ears, "Remember your words, always remember them.
Stay here, if you dare to break your oath, no matter where you go, even if it is the underworld, I will catch you back."
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, but hugged Yinzhen tightly. After a long time, she let go. She looked into Yinzhen's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to apologize to you for."
"Apologise?" Under Yinzhen's surprised gaze, and in the sky that gradually began to reveal a hint of fish belly white, Ling Ruo spoke clearly and slowly about what she wanted to apologize for.
After dawn, the news spread throughout the harem that Dai Jia was deposed as a commoner and was thrown into the cold palace, and that the Dai Jia family were dismissed from office and driven out of the capital.
In Kunning Palace, Du Juan was combing Nala's hair, while Xiao Ningzi was detailing the news that had just come out, "I heard that the emperor ordered a search of the palace last night to find evidence of Dai Jia's harm.
, as a result, blood stains were found in a pot of dead peonies. The imperial doctor confirmed that the blood stains contained the poison of the black water delphinium flower, which was exactly the same poison that caused the fourth elder brother's severe itching.
Yes. Master, you haven’t seen the appearance of Fourth Elder Brother after being poisoned. I heard that he almost scratched all the skin off his body. He didn’t look like a human or a ghost. If not for the timely arrival of Dr. Xu, he also found out.
If I get his poison, I'm afraid he will be itchy to death." At this point, Xiao Ningzi couldn't help shrinking her neck. If this was really such a way to die, it would be almost as scary as being beheaded.
Nala took a golden silk beaded butterfly-shaped hairpin and compared it with her hair, then handed it to Xiao Ningzi, who knowingly put it on Du Juan's newly combed bun.
Nala looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly said: "It seems that I guessed it right."
Seeing Xiao Ningzi's puzzled face, she smiled slightly and said: "You once asked me if this matter had anything to do with Concubine Hui. I thought it was strange at the time. Even if Concubine Hui hated Concubine Xi, she shouldn't have done it right away.
Taking Concubine Xi under the knife, she should know very well how important Concubine Xi is in the emperor's heart.
With the right time, place and people working together, she couldn't control Concubine Xi at all. Instead, she would try to get herself involved. But now she understands that from the beginning, her goal was the Dai Jia family, but her ambitions were greater than I thought.
Some want to kill two birds with one stone, not only wanting Dai Jia’s life, but also Hongli’s.”
Xiao Ningzi's eyelids twitched and she whispered: "Master, do you think it was not the Dai Jia family who harmed the fourth elder brother, but the Hui Gui family?"
Nala nodded slightly and said: "I don't know what kind of method Shumulu used to convince the emperor. Otherwise, just the fact that Dai Jia has been to Chengqian Palace and the poisonous blood in the flower pot is not enough."
To testify against Dai Jia."
Xiao Ningzi showed a smile and said softly: "It seems that Lady Hui is really powerful. She asked her to get rid of Concubine Cheng so quickly. Maybe the master can really use her hands to get rid of Concubine Xi and Concubine Qian."
"I hope so too, but among the three, Dai Jia is the stupidest and most brainless, so it is naturally the easiest to get rid of her. Concubine Qian and Concubine Xi will not be so easy to deal with, especially Concubine Xi!
"Speaking of Ling Ruo, deep fear flashed in Nala's eyes. This woman has been fighting with her for more than twenty years. Although she has caused her to rise and fall several times, she has never really won. Now it is even more difficult for her to take advantage of her.
Having the upper hand is really tricky.
Xiao Ningzi saw Nala's worry and fear, and comforted him: "Didn't Master just say that as long as the right time, place and people cooperate, we can definitely deal with Concubine Xi. I believe that God will also be on Master's side."
, I won’t let Concubine Xi be so proud forever.”
"The right time and place require opportunity, which is easier said than done. Moreover, after this incident, the fourth prince's departure from the palace will definitely be postponed, and our plans will also be shelved."
Xiao Ningzi didn't know what he thought of. He lowered his head and said nothing until Nala saw something strange and called him. Then he came back to his senses and said: "Master, I just suddenly thought that since the time and place are right,
It’s something we can’t find, so why don’t we put some effort into people and people?”
Seeing him say this, Nala knew that he must have thought of something, and immediately said: "Keep talking."
"Actually, it's not just the master and Hui Gui who want Concubine Xi to die, but also someone else." Xiao Ningzi paused and said the answer, "Concubine Qian."
