Looking at Yinzhen's face that turned serious unknowingly, Ling Ruo's heart was filled with emotion, "I would rather the emperor was an ordinary person, so that he wouldn't have to work so hard and wouldn't have to bear such a heavy burden.
, you can live an ordinary but stable and happy life with me."
Yinzhen nodded and said with endless emotion: "Common people all envy the glory and wealth of the emperor's family, but they don't know that the emperor's family envy the ordinary life of the common people."
"So, in the next life, no matter the emperor or the common people, the ministers and concubines will find no reason not to follow the emperor. On the contrary, the emperor should not meet another Nalan Mei'er again."
Ling Ruo's joking words made Yinzhen feel guilty, "You still remember what happened to Nalan Meier? I...well, I don't know how to say it. Although she was being used by others, it was also her own greed that caused the trouble.
Otherwise, how could the Shumulus family be firmly controlled? What makes me most uneasy is that I harmed you. Fortunately, you and Jiarou were both safe in the end, otherwise I would live with guilt for the rest of my life."
Ling Ruo raised her hand to smooth Yinzhen's frown and said softly: "Let the past go by. I no longer blame you, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here now, so please
Your Majesty, don’t be sad about what happened before.”
"Okay, everything depends on you." Yinzhen smiled and held Ling Ruo in his arms. Nothing made him feel more real than the woman in front of him, not even the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.
On the other side, Yingge came to Kunning Palace, where Xiao Ningzi was holding a bamboo hoop to make a pure white Western dog jump, trying hard to make Nala who was sitting on it laugh.
Seeing Ying Ge coming in, Nala motioned to the palace attendants to take the Western dog down and said calmly: "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you not to enter the palace during this period?"
Yingge carefully replied: "The emperor summoned the ministers to the palace. After reporting, he got the emperor's permission to come here to visit the empress."
His words made Nala's eyes flash, and she waved the palace people to retreat, leaving Xiao Ningzi alone in the palace, "The emperor is asking you about Feng and Liu?"
"Exactly, the emperor was very concerned about the disappearance of Feng and Liu. He knew that he had gone to find me before they disappeared, and he also found from the file that I was the examiner who selected the two of them, so he summoned me to ask questions.
"Then Yingge recited the conversation in the Yangxin Palace, and said with some luck: "Fortunately, your Majesty is very knowledgeable and will not let me get involved in the affairs of Feng and Liu. Otherwise, the Emperor's suspicion of me would be far greater than it is now.
Heavier."
Having said this, he still had lingering fears. In the Yangxin Hall just now, he spent all his energy to control the expression on his face so that he didn't look strange.
On that day, Nala asked Xiao Ningzi to tell him not to get involved with Feng Liu and not to see these two people no matter what happened. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but he didn't know that not long after, these two people...
Because he made a mistake, he was demoted from the sixth grade to a subordinate.
Seventh grade, this is not the end, and then he was demoted to a low-ranking city guard. After that, the two people came outside the Duke's Mansion to ask to see Yingge, but at this time, how could Yingge dare to see them, and obeyed
Narashi ordered the housekeeper to drive them away.
Nara turned the turquoise ring on his index finger and said coldly: "You just understand. Don't do things randomly without my instructions from now on. According to my opinion, the emperor's suspicion has not been eliminated, and he will not even queue up."
We have sent spies to keep an eye on you and... Hongshi."
Yingge was suddenly startled and said: "After so long, has the emperor not cleared up his suspicions about the second elder brother?"
Nala sneered and said: "I know the emperor's temperament better than you. It is easy to eliminate doubts. It is not so simple to make the emperor trust you again. Take your time. This kind of thing cannot be rushed."
"Yes, I understand, but I still don't know something. Are Feng and Liu alive or dead?" According to Yingge's guess, the disappearance of Feng and Liu should be related to the Nala family, because under the influence of Feng and Liu,
After coming to see him, he sent someone to deliver a message to the palace, and then they disappeared. It was too much of a coincidence.
"They are already dead. Living like this is always a hidden danger." Nara's answer made Yingge's lips squirm, but no sound came out. Nara glanced at him and said: "I know you want to
What are you asking? It’s clear that the secret guards didn’t move, so who did I send to kill them?”
Ying Ge quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I do have this question."
"From now on, the secret guards on your side should move as little as possible, at least until the emperor's suspicion is eliminated." After this warning, Nala Shifang slowly said: "Sometimes, if you want a few people to die, you don't want to use them.
You need to use the power in your hands, and the killer is also an available move."
After hearing this, Yingge already understood that this time, Nala had bribed the killers and asked them to kill Feng and Liu.
"It's all thanks to the great efforts of the empress that we can get through this incident safely." Yingge said with a grateful face.
"Okay, in short, you can keep my words in mind from now on and don't cause any more trouble to me." With that said, Nala changed the topic and said: "By the way, I asked you to inquire.
How's it going?"
Ying Ge understood what she was talking about and immediately said: "Returning to the empress, after many inquiries, I learned that there was indeed a maid named Ping'er who came to the capital with Concubine Xi and others, and I also bribed her.
I met a girl from Prince Guo’s Mansion and learned that this Ping’er is still staying in Prince Guo’s Mansion and has become the person beside Concubine Qin.”
"Ping'er..." Nala suddenly remembered the night banquet when Niu Hulu returned to the palace. She had seen a beautiful maid beside Concubine Qin. At that time, Concubine Qin called her Ping'er. She should be the one who didn't.
Wrong, "Besides this matter, what else did you find out?"
Hearing these words, a strange smile appeared on Yingge's face, "Replying to your Majesty, I actually found out something. There was a Doctor Lu who escorted Concubine Xi all the way to the capital. I found him, and according to what he said,
Said, the reason why Concubine Xi can be
The reason why Yi Ping An gave birth to Princess Zhaoqing was because she had been taking perilla grass for more than five years. This kind of perilla grass is extremely hard to find and only grows on cliffs. At that time, Prince Guo returned the plant in order to pick the medicine.
Falling at the foot of the mountain, I almost lost my life."
Listening to Yingge's narration, Nala sat up straight and said with interest: "It seems that there is something weird between Prince Guo and Niu Hulu to actually take such a big risk to collect herbs."
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Xiao Ningzi and said: "I remember
On my birthday, Concubine Qian sent me a string of fragrant wood inlaid with gold beads and a number of beads, as well as an agarwood carving of Guanyin holding a sutra, right?" After Xiao Ningzi nodded, she said: "Go to the warehouse and take it out, and then
Then go to Prince Guo’s Mansion and ask Princess Qin to come to the palace tomorrow.”
