Xiao Wu said in embarrassment: "If we go back to the Emperor, the Queen is still waiting outside. No matter how much I persuade you, I won't go back."
Yinzhen put down his hand and said with a little displeasure: "If she wants to wait, let her wait. Don't pay attention to it." After that, he ignored the matter and opened the unreviewed booklet and read it carefully.
At first glance, it was midnight, and by the time all the markings were completed, it was already nearly three o'clock in the morning.
Yinzhen put down his pen, took a sip of tea and stood up, moving his somewhat stiff hands and feet. The vermilion palace door was not closed tightly, and the autumn wind blew in the fallen leaves. When the wind died, the withered yellow leaf happened to fall at his feet.
When he bent down to pick it up, Yinzhen accidentally saw a vague figure standing outside through the gap in the palace door. His heart moved and he called Xiao Wu: "Is the Queen back?"
After seeing Xiao Wu shaking his head, his expression changed several times, and finally calmed down. He walked out of the palace. Nala, who had been waiting outside, heard the footsteps and quickly cheered up. After seeing clearly that it was Yinzhen,
He lowered his head and knelt down and said, "I, my concubine, are here to see you, your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed with good luck."
"No courtesy." After Nala stood up straight, Yinzhen said: "Do you know everything about Yingge?"
Nala said with a sad face: "Yes, my concubine heard about it and asked Xiao Ningzi to go out and inquire. He said that the Duke's mansion had been ransacked, Yingge was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ama was also picked up by Hongshi.
I went to the palace. I never imagined that he would do such a thing."
Yinzhen put his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Whether he can think of it or not, he has already done it. This is a fact."
Nala raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I know that I came here to ask the emperor, how do you plan to deal with Yingge?"
With a coldness that was deeper than the autumn wind, Yinzhen said, "Leaking the test questions, murdering my elder brother, and causing trouble to Chao Gang; these three crimes are all Yingge's crimes. How do you think I should deal with him?"
Hearing this, Nala hurriedly knelt down and said: "I know that Yingge deserves to die, but I still ask the emperor to spare his life because he was just confused for a moment and had done his best for the Qing Dynasty before."
Yinzhen looked down at her and said word by word: "Queen, you have been with me for thirty years. If it were an ordinary request, I would have agreed to it. But this time, Yingge was so wrong. If I just
How can I explain to the world if I spare him lightly?"
"I know that this request makes the emperor very embarrassed, but I have already lost a Honghui, and I don't want to lose another family member. And Amma, he is already old and has only a few years to live. Can the emperor really have the heart to give in?
Is he giving away the white-haired man to the black-haired man?" After talking about it, Nala burst into tears.
"A white-haired person gives a black-haired person..." Yinzhen murmured and repeated: "Fei Yanggu made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and was deeply relied on by Emperor Ama. Unfortunately, he was injured.
Neither can walk."
Upon hearing this, Nala took the opportunity to say: "In this world, they are the only two people who are connected by blood with me. If Yingge dies, Amma will definitely not be able to bear the blow, and her illness will get worse. If
They have all gone, leaving only my concubine alone in the world. Your Majesty, please take into account the years of love between husband and wife and the many contributions Ama has made, please spare Yingge's life."
Facing her pleading, Yinzhen seemed to be moved. He bent down to help her up and said, "You won't be alone, because even if Yingge and Fei Yanggu are gone, there are still me and Hongshi."
"Your Majesty..." Yinzhen's words made Nala feel very bad, as if...
Before she could think about it further, Yinzhen said again: "The ancestors set the rules and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics; as the queen is the head of the six palaces, she should practice it personally."
"I know the laws of my ancestors, so I never dared to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. However, Yingge is my biological brother and has had a very good relationship with me since childhood. I really can't bear to watch him die and look at the family.
Absolutely
After." There was a growing panic in Nala's heart. Until now, Yinzhen refused to let go. Could it be that he really wanted to kill Yingge? No, she must find a way to save Yingge.
grid.
"None of this is what I want to see, but if Yingge insists on committing such a fatal disaster, there is nothing I can do." After a pause, he said again: "I will ask the Ministry of Punishment to act in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty. He
Life or death is determined by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, not by me!"
If he was just panicked just now, now he is completely scared. If he is sentenced according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, Yingge will definitely doubt Yinzhen... is he really so cruel?
Yinzhen didn't give Nala another chance to speak, "It's a cold autumn night. Queen, please go back."
"Concubine, please retire." Nala suppressed the urge to beg again. She was a very perceptive person. Although Yinzhen's tone had always been relatively calm, his attitude was extremely firm and he refused to let go.
After Nala left, Yinzhen sighed and turned around to leave, but instead of going back to Yangxin Palace, he went to Chengqian Palace.
Along the way, the night was as dark as ink. Although Xiao Wu had been holding a lantern to guide the way, Yinzhen felt like he couldn't see his fingers until he stepped into Chengqian Palace and saw Ling Ruo, who was still sewing clothes with his head down.
Just now I felt a glimmer of light.
Yinzhen pulled Ling Ruo up and said warmly: "Why don't you go to bed so late?"
"Isn't the Emperor sleeping too?" Ling Ruo replied with a smile, then calmed down and said, "I heard that the British criminal was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and this matter was related to the Qiu Wei presided over by Hongli.
Regarding this, I am worried. I want to go over and have a look, but I am afraid of disturbing the emperor's affairs, so I can only wait here, thinking that if the emperor comes over, I can talk to him."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and said: "Then if I never come, do you have to stay like this until dawn?"
Ling Ruoyingying smiled and said: "It's just one night, it's not a big deal. I can make these clothes by the way. How are you doing, Your Majesty?"
Yinzhen let out a long sigh, sat down in the chair and explained the matter in general, "You gave me those test questions before. I thought it was just someone making fake test questions to make some money, but I didn't expect that it ended up causing trouble.
I didn't tell you before such a big thing happened because I was afraid that you would worry."
Ling Ruo was silent for a while and said: "The Nala clan is deeply favored by the emperor. It is not the only honor in this capital, but it is almost it. Unexpectedly, Yingge is still not satisfied."
"He is blinded by power, so how can he be satisfied? Quan, sometimes I think about it, it is really harmful. If I have a choice, I would rather not have the power in my hand. This way, I can feel relaxed and comfortable, and there will be no need for someone to
You are plotting against me." Yinzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although he was a little angry, he was really speaking from the bottom of his heart.
