"You're right." With Yinzhen's nod, Ling Ruo ordered Yang Hai to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study and place them in front of Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan put pen to paper, but he couldn't help but tremble because of panic and couldn't form it.
Seeing this, Xiao Ningzi took the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, you have seen that this Liu Yuan is simply a fake. Otherwise, how could he be so scared?"
Yinzhen only had two words for what he said, "Slap your mouth!"
Si Xi bowed and agreed, walked up to Xiao Ningzi and slapped him left and right until the corners of his mouth bleeded before stopping. Na Lashi looked on but did not dare to plead for Xiao Ningzi, for fear of getting into trouble.
Sanfu bowed and said, "Master, could you let me have a few words with Liu Yuan?"
"Go." With Ling Ruo's permission, Sanfu walked to Liu Yuan and said softly: "Relax, don't be so nervous, just follow what you usually write."
"I know, but I can't stop." Liu Yuan grabbed his right hand hard and tried to stop the shaking, but it was useless because his whole body was shaking constantly.
Sanfu thought for a moment and said: "If you can't prove today that these are indeed written by you, the Queen and Xiao Ningzi will be at large. Then you and your family will be in danger. Even for them, you must overcome it."
You are so nervous right now, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Liu Yuan listened silently. After thinking about his family, the uncontrollable trembling finally calmed down. Until the hand holding the pen was motionless, he started writing on the spread paper. Line after line of words appeared under his pen.
I finished it in one go and never looked at the letters on the floor. I didn't stop until the entire paper was filled.
Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, raised the paper above his head, and said: "I respectfully ask your Majesty to take a look at it."
When Si Xi took the paper he had written and presented it in front of Yinzhen, Yinzhen's expression changed and he quickly asked Si Xi to bring over the letters. The paper written by Liu Yuan was divided into two sides, with "Hong" written on one side.
"Shi", and "Yunli" on the other side. He opened a letter from each of the "two people" and compared it with each other. Not to mention that the handwriting was exactly the same, and even the flaws that "Hongshi" could see through the back of the paper were exactly the same.
By this time, anyone with eyes knew that Liu Yuan was indeed the one who copied these letters, and there was nothing false about them.
Yinzhen threw the paper in his hand hard at Xiao Ningzi, who was ashen-faced, and said in a cold voice: "Now that things have happened, what else can you, a cheap slave, say?"
How could Xiao Ningzi dare to answer? He lowered his head and knelt on the ground, his body trembling. He had never been so desperate and fearful as now. The light was like daylight, but he felt like he was in darkness and his eyes were as wide as blind.
Seeing him like this, Yinzhen snorted coldly, turned his eyes and said, "What about you, La Lian Yi? What do you have to say?"
"Concubine..." Nala's face was not much better than that of Xiao Ningzi. At this point, there was no way to remedy the matter, but she was a little better than Xiao Ningzi, because in Yinzhen's eyes, she was
Before today, I didn't know about this.
Thinking of this, she quickly said: "Your Majesty, before today, I didn't know about this letter at all, and Xiao Ningzi never told me. He did everything by himself."
Her words made Xiao Ningzi's face turn grayer, and her trembling arms could hardly support her body.
Yinzhen sneered and said: "Nala Lianyi, do you think I am a three-year-old child, and you can fool me? Xiao Ningzi is your palace man, how could he dare to do such a thing without your instructions.
"
"But I really don't know. How do you want me to admit it?" Nala refused to let go. Only in this way could she barely have a chance to survive. But she really didn't expect that two carefully planned things happened in succession.
, actually lost, and still lost so miserably.
"You!" Faced with Nala's denial, Yinzhen was very angry. Just as he was about to ask again, Ling Ruo said next to him: "Your Majesty, let me ask you. The Queen must also be curious about why I am here.
I was able to find Liu Yuan, who should only be known to Xiao Ningzi."
Yinzhen also felt very uncomfortable in his chest, coughed and said, "Just ask."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After giving a brief salute, Ling Ruo walked up to Nala and said with an indifferent expression: "Since Hongshi's accident, although you are still the queen, you no longer have the prestige of the queen. You can only stay in the palace.
To linger on for a while. This is naturally unforgivable for the Queen who is always unwilling to show weakness to others, and in your opinion, the most unforgivable person is undoubtedly my concubine."
Nala's eyelids twitched and he shook his head and said: "Concubine Xi is wrong. After the Hongshi incident, the emperor allowed me to continue to live in Kunning Palace as the queen. I am already grateful. How could there be anything else?"
Don’t slander me here.”
"Whether it's slander or not, the Queen knows best." Ling Ruo walked up to Xiao Ningzi, stroking her sleeves and said coldly: "But there are no chess pieces for you in the palace, so you used your brain to think about Xiao Ningzi."
Ningzi. You deliberately spread the rumor that Ningzi wanted to leave.
You opened Kunning Palace to find another way out. In order to make your concubine believe it, you also asked Xiao Ningzi to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find out which palace had vacancies for chief eunuchs. In exchange, you let Xiao Ningzi out of the palace many times to visit his family.
His money and various benefits create a feeling of deliberate wooing."
Speaking of this, Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, at the beginning, I did believe it was true, but after carefully thinking about the temperament and methods of the empress, I guessed that this might be a trap. Because Xiao Ningzi
He is the most trusted confidant of the empress. If such a person has the intention of betrayal,
With your concubine’s temperament, you won’t win over her like this. Because you know very well that such childish methods are impossible to bring back the betrayal of the subordinates. Based on my understanding of you, you will only use one method, which is
Kill Xiao Ningzi and avoid future troubles. After all... Xiao Ningzi knows too much about you."
"Since we know that the empress did this on purpose, of course I have to cooperate, otherwise it will be too disrespectful to the empress, don't you think?" After a moment's pause, Ling Ruo continued: "So I asked Qian Moduo to take it with me.
He told Xiao Ningzi to come to Qian Palace, and threatened Xiao Ningzi's family to force him to agree to be a concubine."
"Presumably, this is also part of the empress's calculation. In addition to the reasons mentioned above, you also want to highlight the importance of family to Xiao Ningzi, especially his younger siblings."
When Ling Ruo told her the plan in her heart bit by bit, although Nala still maintained a calm expression, her hands hidden in her sleeves began to tremble slightly.
