Mrs. Liu hugged Hongzhan tightly, her thin body shaking violently under her clothes, not because of anger, but because of fear. What Ling Ruo said was absolutely correct, it was even as if she saw it with her own eyes. She was the one who made Haitang
Xia Chan deliberately used Xia Chan to bring Hongzhan to the Imperial Garden because she sent people who secretly watched Qi Jia to tell her that Qi Jia had gone to the Imperial Garden. Then she deliberately led Hongzhan to collide with Qi Jia, and then took advantage of Qi Jia's
Neither Shi nor Hongzhan paid attention. They pushed Hongzhan down from behind and stuck a needle on Hongzhan's back, causing him to fall into unconsciousness quickly.
She thought she had done these things perfectly. After all, no one would doubt Haitang or her biological mother. They would only think that Qi Jia had done something to hurt Hongzhan because of their disagreement with her. When the time comes, Qi Jia will
He will be charged with hurting his elder brother and it will be difficult to escape.
As for Ling Ruo, in her plan, no matter whether Ling Ruo helps or not, she will be in a dilemma. Because once she helps, she can say that Ling Ruo is selfish and deliberately favors the Qi Jia family; if she does not help, she can use
This incident made people secretly spread rumors that Ling Ruo was cold-blooded and would not even care about the troubles of the people below her, which made her lose the hearts of the people in the palace. In this way, the Qi Jia family was not only eliminated as a thorn in the side, but also slandered.
With Ling Ruo, you can kill two birds with one stone.
It should be said that most of the things happened as she expected. The only surprise was Ling Ruo's extremely persistent pursuit of this matter. Even when she reported it to Yinzhen, it could not stop her from continuing to pursue it. But this was the only thing that happened.
The unexpected accident put her in great danger, and she was in danger of being burned to ashes at any time.
Liu barely suppressed the horror in her heart and said in a concentrated voice: "What the empress said is really ridiculous. Haitang has no reason to do this at all, and..."
"She has!" Ling Ruo interrupted her and said word for word: "Because you have a problem with Yan Guiren and you want to deal with her, so you used your own son as bait to use this strategy!"
Here, she shook her head and said: "Concubine Qian, concubine Qian, you have to deal with Yan Guiren, I have nothing to say, because this is not the first time in the palace, but the sixth elder brother is your biological son, you
How can I bear to use him as a pawn, and how can I bear to do something to hurt him?"
"Concubine, no!" Although Mrs. Liu answered quickly, she was obviously a little out of breath, making people more and more suspicious of her.
Qi Jia was the first one to be unable to hold back. She walked up to Mrs. Liu and pointed at her nose, and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person. You used your own son to frame me. What kind of person are you?"
Do you have any conscience?"
Although Ms. Liu was very panicked, she still said in a dark voice when faced with such a rude scolding from Ms. Qi Jia: "Who allowed you to point at me and yell at me? Don't forget, I am a concubine.
The Lord of the First Palace, and you are just a small nobleman, you don't even have a formal title."
Mrs. Liu usually looks gentle, but she is really sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. She will not lose to anyone, let alone Qi Jia.
After a long while, Qi Jia finally found the words to say, "Don't be so proud here. Don't forget what crime you are committing now. Maybe soon you will no longer be the empress of Yongshou Palace."
"It's not your turn as a little nobleman to take care of the affairs of this palace." Before Qi Jia could speak, Mrs. Liu had already said to Ling Ruo: "Your Majesty, your own dog must be properly tied up. Don't do it casually.
If you let her bark wildly, she will easily get into trouble."
Qi Jia's face turned green when she heard this. Mrs. Liu's words were clearly scolding her, calling her a dog of Concubine Xi. The anger filling her chest made her want to smash Concubine Qian's face, but when she raised her voice,
Before he started, Ling Ruo's voice came to his ears, "Yan Guiren, please step back!"
Mrs. Liu sneered and said: "Did you hear that? Your master asked you to step back. Be an obedient and loyal dog, so that the master will give you bones to chew on!"
"You!" Mrs. Qi Jia was insulted by her again and again. She couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her hand and threw it away. Before she could touch Mr. Liu's cheek, she was grabbed tightly. Ms. Qi Jia looked sideways, but it was...
Shui Xiu, she immediately shouted: "Let go!"
Shui Xiu did not let go according to her words, she still held on tightly and advised: "My lord, please calm down. After all, she is a concubine and has a higher status than you. If you hit her like this, it will certainly relieve her."
You may be angry for a moment, but the consequences will be endless. You must not fall into her trap. Let the empress handle this matter."
Qi Jia was impulsive just now. After calming down, she felt that her behavior had gone too far. If she really slapped her, even if Liu really framed her, she would not be able to escape the punishment. However, Qi Jia was really angry for letting Liu go.
I was so angry that I just didn't look at Mrs. Liu, so as not to make me angry the more I looked at her.
After Mrs. Qi Jia sat down, Ling Ruo said coldly: "Concubine Qian, this matter has been clearly understood. You did everything. Don't you still admit it?"
"How can I admit something I have never done?" Don't say that Ling Ruo doesn't have substantial evidence yet. Even if he does have it, Liu will never admit it, because if he doesn't admit it, there is still a chance of survival, and if he admits it, he will definitely die.
"Without your acquiescence, how could Haitang dare to take Sixth Brother out? Now that you tell me that you have no knowledge, do you think I will believe it?"
Mrs. Liu gritted her silver teeth secretly and said: "Believe it or not, my concubine, in short, I am innocent. Even if I report it to the emperor and the empress, I will still say the same thing."
"Okay!" Ling Ruo said the word slowly and said solemnly: "Concubine Qian, I gave you a chance, but if you don't want it, I can't do anything about it, so don't blame me for what happens next.
I'm here." Before Liu could react, Ling Ruo had already called Yang Haidao: "Go to the Royal Pharmacy immediately and ask Zhao Fang to come over with the records of the last three months." Then he said to Shui Xiu.
: "You go to the honorary room and ask Bai Gui to come over to tell you about the recent situation of everyone leaving the palace."
Looking at the two people leaving, Ms. Liu said nervously: "What do you mean, Madam?"
Ling Ruo said expressionlessly: "We'll find out when they come."
The night was already dark, but Yang Hai and Shui Xiu did not dare to hesitate at all. They each took an umbrella and quickly left Chengqian Palace. Mrs. Liu looked at the palace door opening and was wondering if she should take this opportunity to leave. Ling Ruo seemed to see through it.
She had the same thought and said coldly: "If Concubine Qian wants to go back, just go back. After I find out the results, I will send someone to tell Concubine Qian.
Mrs. Liu wanted to leave just now because she was afraid that she would check Hongzhan, but now the situation is settled. It would be useless for her to leave with Hongzhan. It would make herself more passive. It is better to stay here and watch the situation.
develop.
At this time, Hongzhan's timid voice came to his ears, "Eniang, I want to go back!"
