"The late emperor chose the emperor, and the emperor was destined to be inseparable from the word power in his life; as for Yingge... it was he who had gone astray and took the wrong path. To say that harmful word, it was also him who had harmed himself, and he could not blame others.
." Her eyes flickered, and she spoke again: "Is the second elder brother really having nothing to do with this matter?"
"I'm not sure, but he is my son, and I want to give him another chance." While saying this, Yinzhen's eyes kept falling on Ling Ruo. After a while, he said again: "Ruo'er
, do you think Hongshi is related to this matter?"
Ling Ruo didn't answer immediately. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "I have no way of knowing because I have never been involved in this matter, but Yingge is always the second elder brother's uncle, and if this matter can be accomplished, the person who will benefit the most is also the second elder brother."
Brother, coupled with Pan Rongxuan's testimony, I think it is impossible to say that he has nothing to do with the second brother."
Yinzhen nodded and said with a slight sigh: "Maybe, but after all, there is no substantial evidence. I have already exempted Hongshi from the Ministry of Punishment, and I will also exempt him from other errands one by one in the future. I believe that even if he really has any ulterior motives,
It won't cause any trouble."
"Yes." After responding, Ling Ruo took the clothes lying aside, cut the thread and said, "Your Majesty, I have made you a piece of clothes. You can try it on to see if it fits you."
"Just let the court tailor do this kind of thing, why bother with it yourself." Even so, Yinzhen still let Ling Ruo try on his clothes.
"The emperor's works belong to his officials, and his concubines belong to their concubines. How can we generalize? The emperor is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty. Although my concubines want to share the worries, they can't help. They can only put some effort into these small things."
After trying it on, she said: "Everything else is fine, except that the sleeves are one inch longer. I will send it to the emperor after I finish changing it."
Seeing that Ling Ruo was getting needle and thread again, Yinzhen said, "It's very late. Let's go to bed first. I'm a little tired too. I'll just change my clothes tomorrow." As he said that, he couldn't help but yawn.
Ling Ruo heard the words and said quickly: "I was negligent..." Before she could continue, Yinzhen took her hand and went to the back hall. After getting dressed and lying down, he did not close his eyes immediately, but
He said: "Just now... the queen came to see me, hoping that I would spare Yingge's life."
Ling Ruo knew it as early as when Nala stood outside the Yangxin Hall, but never mentioned it until Yinzhen mentioned it himself, and then said: "Did the Emperor agree?"
"Yingge is the queen's younger brother, and he is also my younger brother. If possible, I am not willing to let him die. Unfortunately, if he insists on choosing such a dead end, there is nothing I can do." Although Yinzhen did not say it clearly,
But Ling Ruo understood that he was not willing to spare Yingge just like that.
Ling Ruo hesitated for a while and said, "But if he dies, the Queen will definitely be very sad."
"This is also a helpless matter. The only one to blame is Yingge's bad intentions." After a pause, he looked sideways and said: "During this period, you have to go to Kunning Palace to walk around, persuade the queen, and let her think about it.
Hold some."
"I will do it." After saying this, neither of them spoke again. Not long after, Yinzhen fell into a deep sleep, but Ling Ruo didn't feel sleepy at all. He just kept his eyes open until dawn.
After having to serve Yinzhen and go to court, she also changed her clothes and went to Xianfu Palace.
When they got there, they happened to see Guarjia holding Hongzhan's hand and walking out. When the latter saw Ling Ruo, he saluted like a little adult. Ling Ruo smiled and stroked his head and said, "Brother Six is so good.
, I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I feel like I’ve grown up a little bit more.”
Guarjia bent down and said: "Hongzhan, you and Congyi go to the flower hall to have breakfast first, and I will say a few words to the noble concubine before you go."
"Yes." Hongzhan obediently took Congyi's hand and left. Then Guarjia took a showerhead, walked to the courtyard, and sprinkled water as thin as a line on the flowers and leaves, while saying: "
I also heard about what happened yesterday, is this why you came here?"
"Yes and no." Ling Ruo picked off a yellow leaf and said, "The emperor came to see me yesterday. Yingge must be in doom this time, but the second elder brother should be fine."
The movement of Guarjia's hand froze, and he turned around and said, "Did the Emperor spare him?"
"After all, except for Pan Rongxuan's confession, there is no other evidence. The emperor is worried that he will unjustly accuse the second elder brother, so he can only put it aside if he has doubts. However, according to the emperor's wishes, he will not allow it in the future.
When he takes power, he will only be an idle prince."
Guarjia nodded and said solemnly: "Even so, if Hongshi is allowed to live, the La family will not give up. I don't know what things will happen in the future."
"I don't know this, but the emperor cares about the family relationship between father and son, so I can't say too much, otherwise it will make the emperor unhappy."
Guarjia was silent for a while and said: "I heard from Xiang that the Queen once went to the Yangxin Hall, presumably for Yingge's affairs. Did the Emperor tell you about this?"
"Well, the queen wants to beg the emperor to spare Yingge's life, but after all, Yingge is not Hongshi, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. Even he himself confessed, so the emperor can't possibly spare him."
Guarjia sneered: "If he dies, the queen will have her arm cut off. No wonder the queen will desperately seek help from the emperor, but in the end it will be in vain."
Ling Ruo took the shower and watered the flowers and trees in the yard, "Anyway, after this incident, there should be a period of peace."
"Calm down, calm down, but you still have to be careful. Neither the queen nor the second elder brother will be willing to lose everything like this. They will definitely try to make a comeback."
In fact, even if the Guarjia clan did not remind them, Ling Ruo would not underestimate their thoughts. After fighting with the Nala clan for most of his life, how could he not understand this truth.
"Sister, will you be free later?" Ling Ruo suddenly asked.
Guarjia glanced at her and said strangely: "It's nothing, what's the matter?"
"The emperor asked me to visit the queen more and give her some advice. I thought I had nothing to do today, so I wanted to go there with my sister."
Before she finished speaking, Guarjia chuckled, "It sounds nice, but in my opinion, you just want to make the queen angry, right? It's a bit unkind to do this."
Ling Ruo then chuckled and followed her words: "Since sister insists on being kind, let's just not go."
Guarjia touched her eyebrows and said: "You girl, you are really good at picking on my words. I only said that I was unkind, but I didn't say that I couldn't do it. Besides, for the queen... there is really no need to consider whether she is kind or not."
With that said, the two of them came to the side hall together. Chongzhi had already served lotus seed porridge for Hongzhan, but Hongzhan did not move his chopsticks and just sat quietly until Guarjia and Ling Ruoluo sat down together.
After moving his chopsticks, he took his special small spoon and put the warm porridge into his mouth.
