Hongshi...she really didn't want to harm Hongshi. Even if...he failed her, she still didn't want to harm him.
At this time, Hongshi was afraid that Mrs. Xu would tell the truth, so he said: "Your Majesty, I see that something is very wrong with Mr. Xu at this time. If I ask now, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything."
In fact, Nala didn't want to ask at this time. After hearing this, he immediately said: "You are right, Concubine Xi. Mrs. Xu is mentally unstable. It would be better to ask later. This matter is serious, but
There is no room for error.”
"Returning to the Queen, I have just talked a lot with Mrs. Xu. I feel that there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Xu's mind. It is the fact that she has been protecting that person and refused to speak out. That is the most troublesome thing."
Nala thought for a while and said: "Since Concubine Xi has been asking for so long and still hasn't found out, why not let me take Mrs. Xu back to Kunning Palace for interrogation slowly, and then tell Concubine Xi after the results are known."
Ling Ruo smiled faintly and said, "My wife has always been in poor health. How dare you bother me anymore? I'd better let my concubine handle the matter." Just kidding, if the person is handed over to the Nala family, she and the Guarjia family will have to work hard.
Everything you do is in vain.
"The noble concubine is interested, but I have been in good health recently, so it is not a problem, and I believe that I can let Xu Guiren tell the name of that person." After that, she said to Xiao Ningzi: "Go and help Xu Guiren.
Go to Kunning Palace."
Without waiting for Ling Ruo's instructions, Yang Hai stood in front of the bed, preventing him from approaching the Xu family. Ling Ruo also said: "There is really no need to trouble the queen, unless the queen cannot trust me."
"The noble concubine and I have been sisters for many years. How can I not trust my concubine? However, such a big thing has happened in the palace. As the queen of the palace, I am afraid it will be unjustifiable if I do not personally intervene in this matter."
"What the empress said is true, but the emperor gave the power of the harem to the concubine. If the concubine just handed over the Xu family to the empress and took her back to Kunning Palace, wouldn't it be dereliction of duty? When the time comes, in front of the emperor, the concubine will
But I can’t explain it to you, so I ask for your forgiveness.”
"Your Majesty, I will explain it myself." When he said this, Nala's face gradually darkened.
"If you want to interrogate me, you can interrogate me here. If you have to take me back to Kunning Palace, I can't obey my order." Ling Ruo dared to let Zi Rong go to Kunning Palace to invite Hong Shi. He was well prepared. How could he be so embarrassed?
Nala flinched after a few words.
Nara's face completely sank and he said coldly: "Is your concubine determined to go against me?"
"I don't dare. I am just following the emperor's orders to take charge of this huge harem. If the empress feels that I have done something wrong, you can tell the emperor and ask him to remove me from my post as concubine." Ling Ruo said these words.
He said it very politely, but he had no intention of compromising at all.
Nala was also a person who was very good at judging the situation. He knew that Ling Ruo held great power at the moment, and if he really wanted to confront her, even if he was the empress of the palace, he would not get any benefits.
Seeing that Nala didn't speak, Ling Ruo didn't bother to pay attention to her, and instead said: "Ms. Xu, when we are in this situation, do you still want to protect that person?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head in pain, tears couldn't help falling from her eyes. She tried her best to avoid them, but she still couldn't help but look at Hong Shi.
Hongshi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Mother, why don't you let me persuade Mr. Xu?"
Ling Ruo didn't expect that Hong Shi would actually stand up on his own, and was quite surprised for a moment, but he didn't say anything more and just motioned to Yang Hai to get out of the way.
Hongshi came to Mrs. Xu, endured the fear in his heart and said, "Mr. Xu, why don't you tell me that person's name?"
Looking at Hongshi blankly, Xu seemed to have returned to the days she spent at Hui'an Temple. Although it was only a month, it was the most meaningful and happiest day in her life; and everything was caused by the man in front of her.
Bring it to yourself.
Facing Hongshi's eyes, Xu slowly uttered a few words, "I... don't want to kill him."
With his back turned to everyone, Hongshi's eyes flashed with tears, "But if you do this, you will harm your own life. Is he worthy of your risking your life to protect him? Or maybe he doesn't actually want you to lose your life to protect him.
life."
Looking at the tears in Hong Shi's eyes, Mrs. Xu's tears fell even more fiercely. Although Hong Shi couldn't say anything in front of so many people, Mrs. Xu clearly saw sadness and sadness in his eyes. If she was just a
Substitute, Hongshi would not be like this, he...has feelings for himself after all!
Thinking of this, Ms. Xu took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "You don't have to ask anymore, I won't say anything. If you want to deal with it, just deal with me."
Ling Ruo had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xu was so deeply attached to Hongshi and would rather lose everything to protect Hongshi. "Xu Guiren, why do you have to be so stubborn? Don't you understand it by now?"
?”
Mrs. Xu walked down from the bed with difficulty and walked unsteadily in front of Ling Ruo and Nala. Seeing how difficult it was for her to walk, Hongshi tried to help her several times but held back. He understood that at this time,
, as long as he showed the slightest mistake, he would be caught by Concubine Xi.
After walking in front of Ling Ruo and Ling Ruo, Mrs. Xu knelt down and said: "I know that I have not abided by the rules of women, had an affair with others, and committed a heinous crime. I am willing to atone for the sins I have committed, including death! But that one
People... I will never say anything, so I ask you two ladies not to ask any more questions."
Regarding Xu's stubbornness, Ling Ruo was filled with hatred and anger, and said angrily: "Your death will certainly atone for your sin of fornication, but this matter will definitely implicate your family. What can you do to atone for this sin?"
Xu gritted his teeth tightly and said nothing. Behind her, Hongshi's nose felt sour. In fact, he didn't have too deep feelings for Xu. When he looked at her, he thought more of Suo Chuoluo, but this
I was really touched once.
Nala glanced at her and said with an indifferent expression: "Concubine Xi, it seems that you can't ask anything anymore. Do you plan to continue asking?"
"No matter what, Mrs. Xu is a concubine in the palace and a noble person personally named by the emperor. If she just lets go of those who taint her innocence, I will really not be able to explain herself in front of the emperor."
Nala said expressionlessly: "Then I'll see how the noble concubine can ask about that person from Mrs. Xu. But before that, I kindly remind the noble concubine that this matter should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible."
"I understand." After Ling Ruo agreed, she said to Yang Hai: "Haosheng looked at Mr. Xu, I will go to the Nourishing Heart Hall." Then, seeing Nala still standing there, she said: "Your Majesty, don't you?"
Are you going to see the emperor with me?"
Nala smiled slightly and said: "It's enough for the imperial concubine to go there. Besides, it's hot outside and I can't stand the sun. It's better to stay here."
