"To be fair to you, I also find this strange, because there are only some superficial wounds on Brother Six's forehead, which at most will make you feel dizzy. If you say that you have been unconscious for such a long time, it is not serious. But other than that,
Wei Chen can no longer check that Brother Six has any injuries that are enough to cause him to fall into coma."
"It's strange..." Ling Ruo stroked his collar that was wet by the rain and said slowly: "Brother Six is only a two-year-old child. He shouldn't be able to lie or cheat, so he must have passed out at that time."
Just when Ling Ruo was puzzled, Yang Hai interrupted: "Master, it's not an external injury. Could it be something internal, like smelling incense or something?"
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "Impossible. If there is a fragrance, it is impossible for Yan Guiren and her palace people to not notice it. Besides, it will definitely take a while for the fragrance to make people unconscious. But according to what Yan Guiren said, she turned around to see
By the time, Brother Six had already passed out."
Although Yang Hai speculated that it was not possible, he gave Ling Ruo a warning and said to Yang Hai: "You should go to Yongshou Palace immediately, bring the sixth elder brother, and say that I still have something to ask the sixth elder brother.
"
Yang Hai withdrew as he was told. He had been away for a long time before he came back, but he was alone. He did not bring Hong Zhan back. Before Ling Ruo could ask, Yang Hai already said: "Master, Concubine Qian said that Brother Six
I just woke up, and my body is still very weak and it is not suitable to move around. It is raining outside and I can easily catch cold. She said that if I must ask Sixth Brother, please go to Yongshou Palace by yourself."
"Our humble concubine is really cool when she puts on airs." Ling Ruo laughed coldly, looking past Qi Jia who had changed into a bamboo green embroidered butterfly pattern flag outfit, and said to Yang Hai: "You go again
Go to Yongshou Palace and tell Concubine Qian that if she refuses to send Sixth Brother over, I don’t mind going to Yangxin Palace again and tell her
I am complaining to the Emperor that Qian’s concubine is unwilling to cooperate with me to investigate this matter in detail, but what will happen to the Emperor when the time comes is beyond my expectation. As for the sixth elder brother who is not suitable for walking, just let someone carry him over, a little
The rain will not cause Brother Six to catch the cold. If Concubine Qian is really worried, she can come with her."
Qi Jia watched Yang Hai leave and said cautiously: "Mother, do you still want to see Brother Six?"
"Yes, if I want to prove your innocence, these clues alone are not enough." In fact, Ling Ruo already had a bold guess in his mind, but it was not the time to say it out yet.
This time Yang Hai did not come back alone. He was followed by many people, including Liu Shi, Haitang, Xu Yingying and Hongzhan who was held in Jin Gu's arms.
"I've seen the imperial concubine." Mrs. Liu's face was very ugly. Anyone who was forced to come here would not look good.
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said calmly: "I feel sorry for you, Concubine Lao Qian, to take this trip. Please sit down first." After that, she said gently to Hong Zhan, who was held in Jin Gu's arms.
Said: "Brother Six, would you like to come to this palace?"
Although Ling Ruo didn't like Mrs. Liu, she was very kind to the two-year-old Hongzhan. When she went to Yongshou Palace last time, she even brought some sandbags for Hongzhan to play with. Hongzhan liked it very much, but he didn't
After playing for a long time, Mr. Liu took it away.
After Hongzhan got off Jin Gu's arms, he was about to walk towards Ling Ruo. He didn't know what he thought of, but turned to look at Liu. After she nodded, he dared to walk up to Ling Ruo and salute like a little adult.
Ling Ruo smiled and held him on her lap, sitting on her lap, and said warmly: "Brother Six, does your back still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." After listening to Hongzhan's honest answer, Ling Ruo held his young hands and said, "Then think about it carefully, who was the person closest to you when you were pushed down?"
Hongzhan thought for a moment and said truthfully: "It's Haitang, she's kneeling on the ground."
Ling Ruo's question gave Ms. Liu a bad premonition, but she couldn't interrupt at this time, so she could only listen carefully with her ears raised.
"Brother Six remembers it very well. Then think about it again, where were Yan Guiren and her maids at that time, and were they near or far from you?"
When Qi Jia heard this, she quickly said: "Yes, think about it carefully. I had already left at that time, and I was quite far away from you!"
"I..." As soon as Hongzhan said a word, Mrs. Liu smacked the armrest hard, stood up and said: "My dear, Hongzhan is only a two-year-old child. His thinking is immature and he is easily influenced by others. You and I
If Yan Guiren asked him like this, it would confuse his thinking and make him think that this is the truth."
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Really? I really didn't expect this. It doesn't matter, I can just ask in another way."
Before Ms. Liu could breathe a sigh of relief, Ling Ruo's voice rang in her ears again. She really didn't ask the question just now, but it made Ms. Liu even more worried, because what Ling Ruo asked was almost close to the truth.
"Brother Six, before you met Yan Guiren, did Haitang give you anything delicious to eat or smell?"
Hongzhan looked at Ling Ruo strangely, shook his head and said, "No, Haitang said he saw a lot of summer cicadas on the trees in the Royal Garden, and then took me to the garden."
"Xia Cicada?" Ling Ruo raised her eyes and stared at Haitang, and said coldly: "It's only March now. Is there summer cicada so early? I remember that in previous years, it would have to wait until at least May or June. Haitang, let me tell you.
Listen, where did you see and hear this?"
Haitang secretly glanced at Mrs. Liu who looked uncomfortable, and said tremblingly: "Returning to the imperial concubine, I heard the cicada chirping in the east...northeast corner of the imperial garden. As for why it is so early this year, I don't know."
"Is it the northeast corner? Okay, Cai Die, go to the northeast corner of the Royal Garden immediately and see if there is any sound of cicadas there."
Without waiting for Cai Die to agree, Mrs. Liu said again: "Your Majesty, the person you should interrogate is Yan Guiren. Why do you let her sit here quietly, but instead cross-examine Haitang again and again? What's the point? You still have to find out.
What Xia Chan? If you can't find Xia Chan, are you going to say that Haitang pushed Hongzhan?"
"I just want to clarify every doubt. Why are you so excited? Is it possible that I really guessed it right?" She looked at Mrs. Liu with a half-smile but not a smile, watching every subtle change in her expression.
into the eyes.
Mrs. Liu secretly clasped her hands in her sleeves and said coldly: "I have not done anything. I have never done anything."
Ling Ruo smiled lightly and ignored Mrs. Liu. After Cai Die left, she continued to ask Hong Zhan, who was sitting on her lap, "Tell me, after you and Haitang went to the Imperial Garden, did you hear the cicadas chirping?"
sound?"
Hongzhan whispered: "No, Haitang said the cicada might have flown to the other side, so I ran over and bumped into Yan Guiren."
