Listening to Guarjia's words, Ling Ruo remained silent for a long time, but the hatred in her eyes continued to loosen, and Yinzhen's painful and helpless eyes kept appearing in her mind.
Guarjia wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said: "People can't live in the past forever, they have to look forward. And the person you really should hate should be the person who killed Hongli. He is the one who deserves a thousand cuts."
The one who chopped him up!"
As her words fell, Dongnuan Pavilion fell into silent silence. After an unknown period of time, a faint voice finally sounded, "Sister is right, I am too persistent."
Ling Ruo's words made Guarjia feel relieved, and she showed a smile that she hadn't seen in a long time, "It's good if you can figure it out. I'm really afraid that you're stuck in a corner and can't get out."
"Sister is trying so hard to persuade me. If I don't understand anymore, I will really be a fool." Ling Ruo took a deep breath and said: "I will try hard to learn to let go, but I must catch the person who killed Hongli. I must not
You can make Hongli’s death unclear!”
Guarjia nodded and asked worriedly: "What about the emperor? Do you still hate him?"
"Your Majesty..." Ling Ruo hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Just like I will try to learn to let go of Hongli's death, I will also try to learn to let go of my hatred for the Emperor, but this will not happen overnight. Please
Sister, give me some time."
"I know, as long as you are willing to give it a try, I will be very happy." As soon as Guarjia finished speaking, her hand was held by Ling Ruo, "Sister, tell me the truth, have you lived through these years?
Is it very painful?”
Guarjia knew that she cared about what she just said, and shook her head and said: "Since there is only one way in front of you, why bother thinking about whether it is painful or not? Besides, don't I still have you, Ruo'er?
Unlike you and the emperor, I only have you, do you understand, so you must not get into trouble, otherwise..." At this point, she couldn't help but blush and said: "I don't know what other reasons I can use.
Stay with it."
"Sister!" Ling Ruo hugged Guarjia and choked, "I will do it. I will definitely live well and not let my sister worry anymore. Before, I was too willful and got into trouble myself."
After everyone calmed down, Guarjia said: "Ruo'er, you asked the second elder brother like that in the mourning hall before, but you think he is suspicious?"
After letting go of her hatred, Ling Ruo's thoughts were much clearer than before, and she said softly: "I'm not sure about this, but it's certain that the second elder brother doesn't like Hongli. No matter how good he pretends to be later, I don't believe it."
He sincerely treats Hongli well. Therefore, if he is caught together with Hongli, he will definitely not care about Hongli's life and death, and will even push Hongli to die for his own sake."
Guarjia frowned and said, "Do you suspect that when they were escaping, the second elder brother deliberately caused Hongli to be discovered so that he could escape on his own?"
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "And don't forget, sister, the person who recommended Hongli to the Ministry of Household Affairs was the second elder brother. Although it is still unclear whether his recommendation was related to the famine in Fuzhou that occurred later, he did it for no reason.
Showing kindness always makes me feel uncomfortable."
"What you said makes sense. Although the second elder brother has been hiding it very well, I can still see his ambition for the throne. As long as there is ambition, Hongli will become a roadblock for him and move away.
This blocking stone has no obstacle in front of him.
It's a hindrance." Guarjia thought for a moment and said, "But it's useless for you to keep asking, because even if the second elder brother really did something shady, he would never admit it. On the contrary, you will be caught by the queen.
, I will sue you severely in front of the emperor."
"I also know that, that's why I didn't continue to ask questions in the mourning hall just now, but..."
Guarjia suddenly said: "But if you can't do it openly, you can do it secretly, right?"
Her words made Ling Ruo smile. Although there was still a sense of desolation, she smiled after all, "No one knows me better than my sister."
Guarjia clapped her hands and said: "I have been with you for so many years, how can I not know it? If you have any doubts, just go and investigate, and I will try my best to help you. If it is really found out that Hongshi has harmful intentions to Hongli,
Even if the queen is protecting him, he still has to scrape off a layer of his skin!"
Just when Ling Ruo suspected that Hong Shi was related to Hong Li's death, the spies also told Yinzhen about the previous failure to intercept outside Prince Lian's palace. Their failure made Yinzhen angry, staring at the spy leader who was kneeling below and said:
"I have ordered that everyone who comes in and out of Prince Lian's Mansion must be investigated. Did you listen to it and actually let people slip away under your noses?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down. I sent three people to intercept the small sedan. It should have been enough, but I didn't expect that the four bearers were all very skilled and stopped the people I sent. I originally wanted to catch two
The bearers tortured them, but unexpectedly the other man cut off their heads with great cruelty, so that the slaves could not capture them alive."
Yinzhen snorted coldly: "Should it? When did you become so careless in doing things?"
The spy leader knew that he was responsible for this incident and did not dare to argue anymore. He lowered his head and said, "This slave deserves to die!"
"You will go down later to receive ten lashes, and the other three will receive twenty lashes each." After the treatment, Yinzhen said again: "Do you know where the sedan was lifted out from?"
"I don't know what I said when I returned to the emperor. But the sedan looked inconspicuous, but it was carried all the way into Prince Lian's palace without getting off the sedan outside the palace. In addition, the two bearers used the curtain to wrap the face of the person in the sedan.
, the slave concluded that the identity of the person in the sedan must not be simple."
As soon as the secret agent finished speaking, Yinzhen sneered: "If it were simple, there would be no need to hide the opening in the sedan chair, and let four people with strong martial arts skills pretend to be sedan bearers. Continue to keep an eye on Prince Lian's Mansion for me. If it happens again this time,
Let people escape
Go, raise your head and come to see me yourself." After that, he was about to signal the spy leader to step back, but suddenly he remembered something, "You can ask Prince Lian to inquire around and see if he can find out whether the person who usually takes the sedan chair to go out is there.
Where."
"Slave, I obey!" The spy leader retreated as he was told. These people who are good at spying on information moved very quickly. Before the sun set, they had already returned to answer the order. Although the sedan was inconspicuous, it was Prince Lian's palace that was coming in and out after all, and it was
Not once or twice, someone would definitely notice it. After careful inquiry, they learned that the sedan was carried from an antique shop.
"Antique Zhai?" When Yinzhen repeated these three words, the spy leader endured the burning pain on his back and said, "That Antique Zhai is quite famous in Beijing, and the second elder brother often comes in and out."
"Hongshi?" Yinzhen's eyebrows showed a trace of surprise. He didn't expect to be related to Hongshi. Uh, wait, Hongshi used to be very close to Yunshi. He finally restrained himself after reprimanding him many times. Is it possible?
Could it be that he was back to his old ways, using the excuse of going to the Antique Shop, but was he actually changing his sedan chair to go to Prince Lian's Mansion?
