After asking what happened, Yinzhen stared at Qi Jia with an unkind expression, "So, you pushed Brother Six on purpose?"
Just as Qi Jia was about to speak, Ling Ruo stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, I am here for this matter as well. Although the sixth elder brother did fall and fell unconscious, there is insufficient evidence to say that Yan Guiren did it."
Liu quickly said: "The injury on Hongzhan's head and the presence of Haitang are irrefutable evidence."
"Let's not mention the injury on Brother Six's head for the time being. Let's just talk about Haitang. Earlier, Yan Guiren's palace maid wanted to testify. Concubine Qian said that she was someone close to Guiren Yan. Her words cannot be trusted. But Concubine Qian should not forget.
Haitang is also someone close to you, her position is also biased, and what she said cannot be proved." Before.
When they were in Yongshou Palace, the reason why Ling Ruo didn't mention these words was because she expected that Mrs. Liu would make trouble in front of Yinzhen. Telling her earlier would only make her more prepared, which was not as good as what she is doing now. Moreover, she had always cared about Haitang.
I feel that there is something hidden behind this incident that I don’t know.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's face changed slightly after hearing what she said, but she was also a person who reacted quickly. She quickly said excitedly: "What do you mean by that? Do you think what Haitang said is a lie? Hongzhan
Were you not pushed or injured?"
Ling Ruo said in a calm tone: "How could I not believe it when I saw Brother Six in coma with my own eyes? The only thing I don't believe is Haitang."
Knowing that she had nothing to say to Ling Ruo, Mrs. Liu simply ignored her and said to Yinzhen with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I believe that Haitang will not lie. Besides, besides Haitang, it was Yan Guiren and her.
The palace maid, who else could be there besides her? This time Hongzhan was lucky and did not suffer any serious injuries, but who can guarantee that Yan Guiren
What will she do to Hong Zhan next time? Ever since what happened last time, she has been dissatisfied with Chen Concubine, and has always been against Chen Concubine. Even when Chen Concubine asked Haitang to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick out materials, she obstructed her in every possible way.
He took away all the materials that should belong to the concubine. This is absolutely true. If you don’t believe it, you can send Qian Moduo to come here and ask."
Ling Ruo didn't know about this, and looked at Qi Jia with a bit of surprise, who was lowering his head, and then Yinzhen's voice came, "Yan Xue, is what Qian concubine said the truth?"
Qi Jia said in a panic: "If I go back to the emperor, I did choose some materials for the Ministry of Internal Affairs that time, but I didn't stop Haitang. It's just... it was just a misunderstanding."
Yinzhen didn't speak, but from the coldness in his eyes, it could be seen that he didn't believe what Qi Jia said. He grew up in the palace and knew that in the harem, there was jealousy and competition for favor and love.
It is inevitable that he has always turned a blind eye to this, but the premise is not to go too far, especially not to involve the heirs. Violators will be severely punished.
After Ling Ruo thought about it for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, although there is some misunderstanding between Yan Guiren and Qian Concubine, in my opinion, Yan Guiren is not ready to hurt Sixth Brother. There may be some hidden secrets that we don't know about.
maybe."
Yinzhen nodded slightly, then said immediately: "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled? After all, there were only four of them present at the time, and Hongzhan did not see the person who pushed him down."
Ling Ruoqian leaned forward and said: "If the emperor can trust me, why not leave this matter to me? I will definitely get to the bottom of the matter. I will not unjustly accuse a good person, nor will I let go of anyone who dares to hurt my brother."
people."
As soon as she heard that Ling Ruo asked Ying to handle this matter, Mrs. Liu quickly said: "Your Majesty, the matter is absolutely clear. I really don't know why the imperial concubine is delaying in dealing with Yan Guiren."
"If Yan Guiren really committed a crime, you can deal with it how you want. But the matter is obviously still unclear at the moment. If you deal with Yan Guiren rashly, what if it turns out that she was wronged in the future? It's better to be modest.
The concubine simply wants to trap the emperor into injustice?!"
Being slapped with such a big hat by Ling Ruo, Liu didn't dare to accept it, so she quickly denied it and said: "I don't mean that, I just..."
Yinzhen waved his hand to stop Mr. Liu from continuing, "I will leave this matter to the imperial concubine to investigate. I believe that the imperial concubine will handle it impartially and impartially. You can rest assured about this, Runyu."
Mrs. Liu was reluctant in every possible way, but Yinzhen had said so. What else could she do, she could only lower her head and agree. Then Yinzhen asked about Hongzhan's situation, and after learning that he was fine, he said: "When I finish the matter,
, just go to Yongshou Palace to see him, and you all should step aside."
"Concubine, please retire." After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Mrs. Liu saluted Ling Ruo and returned to the Yongshou Palace without saying a word. After she left, Mrs. Qi Jia, who gradually regained her composure, said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, you are wise.
, Concubine Qian also wants to go past the empress and complain directly to the emperor. She really has no self-awareness. The emperor will not listen to her at all. She is just asking for trouble. "
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said, "Are you very proud?"
Qi Jia heard the displeasure in Ling Ruo's words and quickly lowered her head and said, "I don't dare, I, my concubine."
"It would be better if you really don't dare." Ling Ruo said displeasedly: "I remember telling you not to go too far in everything. It was good that you agreed at the time, but in the end, you actually competed with Haitang for information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs
?Which material you like, just tell me directly and I will have someone deliver it to you. Do you need to make it so obvious to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Qi Jia didn't dare to be disrespectful to Ling Ruo at this moment. She was still relying on Ling Ruo to clear herself of her grievances. She panicked and said: "I know I was wrong. I was confused at the time and did this. I promise
Never again."
"You'd better remember this." After saying this, Ling Ruo said to Shui Xiu: "Go and invite Imperial Physician Zhou to Chengqian Palace. I have something to ask him."
After Shuixiu left, Qi Jia helped Ling Ruo's hand and returned to Chengqian Palace. At this time, thin raindrops began to float from the sky, giving her a slight chill on her face.
Not long after they returned to Chengqian Palace, Shui Xiu arrived with Zhou Minghua. Ling Ruo turned her eyes and said: "Shui Xiu, Yan Guiren's clothes are a little wet. Please bring her some of my clothes to change into."
.”
After sending Qi Jia away, Ling Ruo said sternly: "Mr. Zhou, I have known you for such a long time and I don't go around too much. Did the sixth elder brother really fall into a coma because of his fall?"
"Your Majesty asked, but you have doubts about this matter?" Zhou Minghua and Ling Ruo were familiar with each other. He was able to become an imperial physician thanks to Ling Ruoxiang's help, so the conversation between the two was relatively casual.
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor has ordered me to investigate this matter. Although Brother Six's forehead is indeed red and swollen, it should not be as serious as coma."
