The fact was indeed what Xiao Ningzi said, so Yinzhen did not continue to talk about this issue, but said to Sixi: "Go find a letter from Hongshi and bring it over."
Si Xi agreed and immediately went to the south study to get it. After searching for a long time, he finally found a letter. After giving it to Yinzhen, Yinzhen compared it with the ones Xiao Ningzi had brought and found that the handwriting was exactly the same. It was difficult to tell the difference.
What's the difference.
Yinzhen frowned and said, "You said these letters were copied by others? But I see that the handwriting is exactly the same, there is no difference at all."
"Yes, I compared them for a long time and found no abnormalities. It was not until I accidentally saw the back of the letter that I discovered the difference between the two. I dared to ask the emperor to turn the letter over and read it."
After turning the letter over, Yinzhen immediately discovered the difference between the two meanings. There was not much ink on the back of Hongshi's letter, but almost every word of the letter presented by Xiao Ningzi showed through. Obviously, this
People's writing is much heavier than Hong's time, which leads to this result.
At this time, it was already certain that the letters... were indeed not written by Hongshi, but Yinzhen still had doubts about the source of these letters, "Since these letters were copied by Concubine Xi, trying to frame Nala and Hongshi.
, why is the letter in your hand? Don’t tell me that you picked it up by chance. If I find out that there is a lie, I will definitely make you suffer the most painful pain in the world before you die!"
Faced with the cruelty in Yinzhen's words, even Xiao Ningzi couldn't help but tremble all over. He could hardly control what he said. He pinched his thigh hard and used the severe pain to regain his clarity of mind.
, then said: "Yes, I will definitely know how to
Answer the emperor's words clearly and truly." He took a deep breath, pointed at Ling Ruo and said: "In fact...these letters were copied by Concubine Xi after she ordered her servants to find someone outside the palace to copy them. Concubine Xi had always known that the Queen was not valued by the Emperor.
But no longer taken seriously
She is still the Queen. If she does not get rid of it, she will never be able to ascend to the throne and become the true master of the harem. So she found the slave and used the slave's family to threaten the slave to betray the Queen and listen to her. Then,
She gives in
Only then did she steal Hongshi's letters from the Queen's study and take them outside the palace. She found someone who was good at copying and wrote these letters. Concubine Xi knew that as long as these letters were presented to the Emperor, the Queen would not be able to argue with her.
After being deposed."
Nala pretended to be shocked, stared at Xiao Ningzi and said: "There is such a thing, you... why don't you tell me? Xiao Ningzi, I have always trusted you and have never treated you badly.
, but you actually helped the Niu Hulu clan to harm me, you... you really let me down."
Xiao Ningzi said solemnly: "Master, I don't want to do this, but my relatives are in her hands. If I refuse, they will die. In desperation, I can only agree to Concubine Xi to do this."
But the slave never thought that Concubine Xi was so ambitious. She didn't want to harm the master, but she also wanted to harm the emperor. The slave had been struggling in his heart just now, wondering whether he should tell the truth
It was not until I saw that the emperor was instigated by Concubine Xi and did not trust his master that he decided to confess everything. The slave did not dare to ask for forgiveness from the master, but only asked the master not to blame the slave. The slave... was really helpless. And...
"He kowtowed to Yinzhen and begged: "I just want to ask the emperor to save the servant's family. They are innocent and have no idea what is going on in the palace. I beg the emperor to have mercy on them."
Yinzhen ignored him, but looked at Ling Ruo and said warmly: "Concubine, do you have anything to say?" Even though the situation was extremely unfavorable to Ling Ruo at the moment, Yinzhen did not believe Xiao Ningzi's words. He and Ling Ruozhi
The trust between us is earned with time and life, and it cannot be shaken by Xiao Ningzi's few words. As long as Ling Ruo doesn't admit it personally, he won't believe it.
His attitude undoubtedly angered Nala, who was also with him, and even stayed with Yinzhen a few years earlier than Niu Hulu, but Yinzhen blindly believed in this bitch who was accustomed to using foxy tricks, and let her
How can you not be angry.
Ling Ruo knelt down and said, "When I return to the Emperor, do I have nothing to say?"
Yinzhen was startled, and then said: "Why, could it be... is everything Xiao Ningzi said true? Did you even do the ginseng soup?" This sentence sounded ridiculous even to him. How could Ling Ruo possibly do that?
Doing such a thing for the sake of the throne? As early as after Ling Ruo returned from Zhungeer and gave birth to Jia Rou, he had promised her, but it was Ling Ruo who insisted on refusing and made her a noble concubine. How could he do this now?
As for the throne, it is also impossible. His preferred prince has always been Hongli. If Ling is Hongli's biological mother, as soon as Hongli ascends the throne, she will definitely be the queen mother. Why should she be charged with regicide now? He will never believe it.
Ling Ruo would do this.
Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "No, I only acknowledge what Xiao Ningzi said. I had no prior knowledge about the soup."
Ling Ruo's admission surprised Nala and Xiao Ningzi. This was a crime that framed the queen. Even if Xiao Ningzi suddenly betrayed her, she should have tried her best to deny it. How could she admit it so easily? Isn't this right?
Digging your own grave?
But in fact, Ling Ruo did admit it. Although La Shi felt that something was wrong, for now, he could only quietly watch things develop.
Yinzhen stared at her with an ugly face and said: "You... why did you do this? Why did you betray my trust?" At this moment, he even hoped that Ling Ruo would deceive him and not admit such a crime, because... he didn't
He knew how to deal with her; but if he didn't deal with her, everyone in the palace would be dissatisfied, especially the queen.
Nala went up to her knees and said with tears: "Your Majesty, you have seen that Concubine Xi has always had evil intentions and wanted to get rid of me, but you never believed my words and even believed that I had evil intentions.
meaning!"
Yinzhen ignored her, only stared at Ling Ruo who lowered his head and said nothing, and said solemnly: "I'm asking you, why are you doing this? I can give you anything you want. Over the years, I have also
You have been doing this all the time, why do you still have to do it?
Yes, for what reason, this is the thing that Yinzhen can't figure out the most. Obviously, except for the throne, he can give everything away!
Even under such circumstances, Ling Ruo's eyes were still as clear as ink crystal, without a single flaw, "Your Majesty, can I wait until Xiao Ningzi has finished explaining everything before I can answer your question?"
For some reason, Ling Ruo's look made Yinzhen calm down immediately, and he frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, there is something else." After saying this, Ling Ruo stared at Xiao Ningzi who raised her head secretly and said: "You surrendered to me at first, but now you reveal the matter in front of the emperor, Xiao Ning
