Ling Ruoyuan was just a joke, but unexpectedly he heard such words. He was very moved and pulled down Yinzhen's hand and said: "Your Majesty treats me so well, but I will never be able to repay you in my lifetime."
Already."
Yinzhen said with a smile: "If you don't pay me back in this life, I'll pay you back in the next life. I'll tie you to me for life after life and never be separated."
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, she just quietly tightened her hand with Yinzhen, so that the warmth of each other completely merged together, making them indistinguishable.
No matter what Nala said in front of Yinzhen, no matter how deliberately mother and son tried to please her, they could not replace Ling Ruo's position in Yinzhen's heart. No reason, just because she was Niu Hulu Lingruo, whom Yinzhen was willing to use.
A woman who sacrifices her life to protect her.
The next morning, Yang Hai waited outside the Meridian Gate. When he saw Hongli coming out of the court, he quickly went up to greet him and said a few words in his ear.
Yang Hai's words made Hongli look a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more and just nodded to indicate that he understood.
It was no coincidence that their whispers were noticed by Hong Shi who was walking behind Hong Li. After writing a letter of apology to the Ministry of Punishment who was talking, he quickly came to Hong Li and said with a half-smile: "Old man
Four, was that Yang Hai who was next to the imperial concubine just now?"
Hongli endured the disgust in his heart and said: "Second brother has really good eyesight. Yes, it is Yang Hai. I wonder if second brother has any advice?"
"I can't say I'm giving you advice, I'm just a little curious. This early in the morning, the imperial concubine asked Yang Hai to wait for you here. It must be no small matter. I wonder if I can talk to my second brother?"
Hongli smiled and said: "My second brother really guessed it right. It is indeed a great event. He said..."
Although Hongshi knew that Hongli would not tell the truth to him, when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but put his ear closer so that he could hear Hongli's deliberately lowered voice more clearly.
Hongli said seriously: "He said, second brother, there is a big hole in the back of your court uniform, and the clothes underneath are exposed."
Hongshi's first reaction when he heard this was to turn his head and look behind him. However, when he was halfway turning, he remembered that he was still behind when Yang Hai was talking to Hongli. He asked how Yang Hai could see his back.
, it was clear that Hongli was deliberately seeking his own happiness.
After turning his head back, he said with an unkind expression: "Fourth, your joke is not funny at all."
"Really?" Hongli responded nonchalantly, turned over and climbed onto the horse held by Xiao Zhengzi, and said with a smile: "I should go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to run errands. I will chat with my second brother when I have free time another day."
!”
After Hongli rode away, Hongshi also got on the sedan. He didn't like riding a horse, so he mostly rode a sedan when going up and down. When the sedan bearer lifted up the sedan, he lifted the curtain to face Wang, who was following the sedan step by step.
Zhongdao: "From this moment on, I will keep a close eye on Hongli. No matter where he goes, don't relax."
Wang Zhong whispered: "I have taken note of it. As soon as I return to the palace, I will immediately send someone to keep an eye on Prince Bao."
Hongshi put down the sedan curtain and showed a cold smile. Hum, even if Hongli didn't say anything, he would have found out. Concubine Xi specially asked Yang Hai to wait outside the Meridian Gate. It must not be an easy thing.
As soon as he returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, Wang Zhong followed Hong Shi's instructions and sent people to keep a close eye on Hong Li. No matter where he or the people around him went, there were people watching carefully and constantly sending news.
On the night of the third day, an astonishing news reached Hongshi's ears. Hongli sent people to rummage through the mass graves located in various places in the suburbs of Beijing. Strangely enough, except for those who died unjustly in the mass graves,
Apart from the corpses, there were only groups of wild dogs and crows. I don’t know what he was doing there.
The people following him couldn't figure out Hongli's intention, but Hongshi suddenly understood. His head that had been a little sleepy suddenly became sober, and he said with a gloomy face: "What else did you find out besides this?"
The person who replied carefully said: "Replying to the prince, because the people sent by Prince Bao act very carefully, the servants and others dare not follow too close, and they will not get more useful information."
After signaling him to go down, Hongshi walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his hands, his face gloomy and slightly worried. Wang Zhong said from the side: "Master, is it possible that Fourth Brother is looking for the bodies of Ping'er and Hongying?
"
"It's very likely." Hongshi spat out these four words coldly, and then said: "No wonder Yang Haishen mysteriously spoke in Lao Si's ear that day. It turned out to be this. Concubine Xi... This woman is really
It should not be underestimated that she actually guessed that the king would take this step."
Wang Zhong said with a worried look: "Master, what should we do now? If Prince Bao really finds the bodies of Ping'er and the others, it will be troublesome. Master Tu Lichen will not be able to explain it first. If he is allowed to run to the emperor again,
I told you in front of me, Master, you..."
"Don't you think this king is annoying enough?" Hongshi gritted his teeth and said after scolding Wang Zhong: "If Concubine Xi wants to start this wishful thinking, she has to ask whether this king agrees or not!" He said this.
After one sentence, he turned to ask: "Which mass grave were they thrown into?"
Wang Zhong replied: "My servant had them dumped in a mass grave in the west suburbs, and in order to avoid being discovered, my servant also had their bodies buried. Unless Prince Bao turned over the mass grave inch by inch,
Otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to discover it.”
Hongshi didn't say anything, walked around a few times with his hands behind his back and said, "No, I can't take this risk."
Wang Zhong's eyelids twitched and he said: "Master means..."
Hongshi glanced at the dark sky outside and said coldly: "You personally take some people to the mass graves in the west suburbs to dig them out and then burn them. Only in this way can Hongli completely avoid being discovered. Do you understand?
"
When he heard that he was asked to lead people to exhume the corpse in the middle of the night, Wang Zhong's whole body trembled. He was unwilling from the bottom of his heart, but in front of Hong Shi, how could he dare to say "no" and lowered his head and said: "
The slave will go and do it now, but Master, the city gate is now closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city unless ordered by the nine admirals. Do you want to wait until tomorrow?"
Hongshi thought about it and nodded in agreement, but before Wang Zhong retreated, Hongshi warned him again: "Be careful and don't let anyone find out, otherwise I will only ask you. As for how many people are needed, as long as
They are available in this palace and are at your disposal, including the secret guards that my uncle gave me."
The next day when the city gate was about to close, Wang Zhong led his people out of the capital. In addition to a few strong and smooth-talking guards, these people also included two secret guards sent by Yingge to Hongshi, one of whom
He is the Dark Eagle who once killed a prostitute to "clear up" his grievances for Hong Shi.
After leaving the city, Wang Zhong did not take people directly to the mass graves in the western suburbs. Instead, he found an abandoned temple that no one cared about for a while, and then sent a person to the mass graves to see if anyone was there.
