Her words really succeeded in arousing Ling Ruo's suspicion. He stared at Guarjia and said in a cold tone: "What did you say?"
"If Hongli really died in an accident, there is nothing to say. If someone played a role in killing Hongli, or there was a conspiracy, then you, the mother-in-law, shouldn't you be the one to find out the truth for Hongli and return the favor to Hongli?"
Is it fair? Otherwise, even if
Even if you go to the underworld, Hongli will not forgive you!" Guarjia said quickly. It was not that she really suspected anything, but that this was the only way to make Ling Ruoren, who was stuck in the corner and unable to extricate himself, think about something.
, rather than blindly seeking death.
"Someone killed Hongli..." Ling Ruo murmured and repeated this sentence, I don't know how many times, a chilling light suddenly burst out from his eyes, and he said sternly: "Who is it? Who killed him?"
Is my Hongli Hongshi?"
Seeing that her words were effective, Guarjia quickly said: "I don't know, but after Hongshi and Hongli's coffins are brought back, you can find out for yourself whether someone harmed Hongli, so even if it's for
Hongli, you must not die either."
Ling Ruo said nervously: "Yes, you are right, I can't die, I want to live to find out the cause of Hongli's death and avenge him!" At the end of the sentence, the original gray color in his eyes was replaced by the light of hatred.
replaced.
Looking at Ling Ruo with a face full of hatred, Guarjia didn't know if what he did was right, but at least until the matter was found out, Ling Ruo would no longer want to die; now he could only stabilize Ling Ruo first, and the rest
Let’s talk about it later, I believe there will always be a solution.
"Yang Hai, you have already gone to inquire about the Shumulu family. What does the emperor mean? As soon as there is news, come and tell me immediately." Following Guarjia's instructions, Yang Hai retreated and passed by.
After half an hour, he came in with a strange look on his face.
As soon as he appeared, Guarjia couldn't wait to ask: "How?"
"Replying to what Madam Jinbin said, I have inquired about it, and word came from Shui Yixuan that it was Mr. Shumulu who accidentally fell down, and it had nothing to do with the master."
Guarjia thought about many possibilities, but she didn't expect it to be like this. She was stunned on the spot. Even Ling Ruo was also surprised. She wiped the tears from her face and said hoarsely: "Are you sure you got it right?"
Yang Hai said with great certainty: "To return to the master, I asked many people, and they all said the same thing, without any discrepancy."
Guarjia tapped her palm lightly and frowned: "This thing is really weird. Considering the enmity between you and Shumulu, she should use this matter to seek bad luck for you and get you into trouble."
That's right, how could he suddenly show mercy and take the initiative to let you go? It's really unreasonable."
Ling Ruo sorted out her chaotic thoughts and said to Yang Hai, "What else did you find out?"
Yang Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "I did hear something, but I don't know whether it is true or not." After taking a look at Ling Ruo, he said: "I heard that the emperor sent a message to the Ministry of Rites to cancel Master Jin's appointment as the imperial concubine.
, but still let the Ministry of Rites choose an auspicious day."
Guarjia asked strangely: "Why is this? The canonization ceremony can't be performed anymore, so what's the auspicious day for?"
Yang Hai swallowed his saliva and said: "In response to what Empress Jin said, it is not that the canonization ceremony will not be carried out, but it will be changed to a concubine ceremony. The emperor wants to appoint Shu Mulu as a concubine."
"Is there such a thing?" Guarjia felt extremely sudden about this news. If she hadn't known that Yang Hai was the most powerful person around Ling Ruo and had a good mouth, she would have almost thought that he was joking with her. To say that the emperor wanted to
It was somewhat reasonable to appease the Shumulu family after losing their heir and restore their status, but to establish her as a concubine... was really unreasonable.
Uh, wait a minute, it's unreasonable. People at Shuiyixuan said that Mr. Shumulu had a miscarriage because she bumped into a chair. It's also very unreasonable. Are these two things related?
After thinking carefully for a while, Guarjia finally understood. She held Ling Ruo's shoulders and sighed: "Ruo'er, the emperor really cares about you, and he cares enough to do anything for you."
Ling Ruo looked at her expressionlessly and said, "I don't understand what sister means."
"If I guess correctly, the reason why Mr. Shumulu changed his story and said that he bumped into a chair and caused a miscarriage was probably the emperor's intention. He was afraid that Mr. Shumulu would not let go and this matter would get bigger and bigger and hurt you.
; and the condition of exchange is that Jin
As a concubine, let her become the head of the first palace. Ruo'er, I know you hate the emperor for making a wrong decision and wasting Hongli's life, but the emperor really cares about you. I have been with the emperor for so many years, and I have never
Seeing that he cares about a woman like this, you..."
"Sister, you don't have to say anything." Ling Ruo suddenly interrupted her and said, "He did so much just to make up for the mistake that killed Hongli. He wanted me to forgive him, but I couldn't. As soon as I saw
He will think that he killed my children, from Jiyue to Hongli, although they were not killed by him, they all died because of him!"
Seeing that Ling Ruo was getting excited again, Guarjia said quickly: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say anything. Just calm down!"
In the following days, Guarjia stayed with her in Chengqian Palace. Yinzhen would come to see Lingruo after going to court every day, and Xu Xu asked her about her day.
Although Ling Ruo no longer made a fuss, she also didn't have any good looks or words for Yinzhen. She let him come and go, as if he was just an irrelevant person. But every time after Yinzhen left, Ling Ruo
If they all shed tears silently.
Guarjia, who saw all this, was heartbroken and didn't know how to comfort her. She could only hope that Ling Ruo would slowly think about it and stop tormenting herself and Yinzhen like this.
During this period of time, Yinzhen has also been doing one thing, which is to find out who leaked the news about Hongli's death. Apart from himself and Yunxiang, only Sixi knew about the whole thing, and he didn't say anything
However, it was impossible for Yunxiang, so there was only one Sixi left. Although Sixi denied it in every possible way, Yinzhen still had doubts. When he was about to hand it over to the Shenxing Department for questioning, Yunxiang reminded him.
Got him.
"Your Majesty, although the three secret documents were directly handed over to the Emperor at that time and no one else saw it, the Emperor, his ministers and others were not the only ones who knew that the fourth elder brother was dead."
"What do you want to say?" In Yinzhen's question, Yunxiang said: "To be honest with the emperor, when the fourth elder brother left the capital, in addition to the personnel sent by the emperor, I also sent a group of people to protect him secretly.
The fourth elder brother and the fourth elder brother agreed to use fireworks as a signal, but since the fourth elder brother’s accident, the people sent by Chen’s brother have never returned to Beijing. He
They are all Chendi's confidants. They have been following Chendi through life and death for many years. It is impossible for them to defect midway. Therefore, if they don't show up, there is only one possibility, that is, they are in trouble. It may be that they encountered those crazy villagers, or they may
It's someone else. Brother Chen has sent people to Fuzhou to look for their whereabouts, and there should be answers soon."
