"No one knows what happens after death. I only know that there is a way to live in front of you now. As long as you open your mouth, you won't have to suffer this kind of torture in the future."
Nala spat: "Hmph, now that it sounds nice, once I tell you about Hong Shi, I will immediately turn my back on you and deny it, and you will still torture me with meditation and incense every day until you die!"
After she finished speaking, Ling Ruo said coldly: "Whether you believe it or not, I will abide by what I have said and will never regret it!"
Nala endured the discomfort and said hesitantly: "You...are you telling the truth?"
Ling Ruo heard the wavering in her words and immediately said: "As long as what you said is true, I will abide by what you just said."
"Okay, I'll tell you." Nara wiped his face vigorously, stood up shakily, and said with unfocused eyes: "Hongshi has gone to Tsarist Russia now. He has convinced Tsarist Russia that they will launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty this year.
During the war, he asked Anjiu to come to me. Firstly, he wanted to see how I was doing in the cold palace, and secondly, he wanted to tell me about this matter. Other than that, there was nothing else."
Ling Ruo guessed that Hongshi would not give up, but she never thought that in order to take revenge, Hongshi would be so frantic in colluding with Tsarist Russia and intending to provoke war again.
After a moment of silence, Ling Ruo said: "Is Anjiu entering the palace just for this? Nala, the premise for me to keep my promise is that you tell the truth. If there is deception or concealment, then this promise has no meaning.
Or...you want to try double the taste of Jingxin Incense."
Nala's face changed, and she said tremblingly: "You... you can't do this." She knew in her heart that the greater the amount of Jingxin Incense, the greater the harm to the body, and the more severe the addiction will be. In other words,
If the pain you are experiencing now is magnified several times, that kind of discomfort is simply unbearable.
Ling Ruodao: "Since you don't want to, just tell me honestly what kind of words Hongshi asked Anjiu to bring."
Nala gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let me tell you! Hongshi has the intention to take advantage of Tsarist Russia. Once both Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty are in danger, he will find a way to capture the Qing Dynasty. He will find me.
I just hope that I can help persuade the civil and military officials of the court so that he can ascend the throne and become emperor!"
"Ascension to the throne as emperor...his ambition is really careless!" As he said this, Ling Ruo's expression became solemn as never before. Hongshi was not a person with empty ambitions. He knew how to use Tsarist Russia to deal with the great power.
From this matter, it can be seen that he indeed has a plan to support this ambition.
Nala said in a trembling voice: "I have told you everything I know. I really don't know about other things, and Anjiu didn't tell me much."
Ling Ruo ignored her and just walked out quickly. This matter was related to the safety of the Qing Dynasty. She must tell Yinzhen as soon as possible.
Seeing her leaving, Nala stumbled out and said sharply: "Niu Hulu, don't forget what you promised me. If you dare not keep your promise, I will curse you for the rest of your life!"
Ling Ruo paused and did not look back. She just said to Shui Xiu: "There is no need to send Jingxinxiang to Leng Palace in the future. In addition, two of the palace guards who were originally responsible for guarding the Nala family were left behind, and the rest returned to the House of Internal Affairs.
Bar."
After Shuixiu agreed, she also said unwillingly: "Master, do you really want to let her go? She has harmed so many people and only tortured her for four years. I feel that I have taken advantage of her."
"To her, these four years of torture are no different than forty years. Now that I have spoken out, I cannot go back on my word, unless she tells a lie. Okay, just do as I say."
After leaving Shuixiu to deal with Leng Gong's affairs, Ling Ruo quickly went to Yangxin Palace. When he got there, he learned that Yinzhen was summoning the ministers.
Ling Ruo was about to go to the side hall to wait for a while. The door of the hall suddenly opened and several officials walked out. They were all stunned when they saw Ling Ruo. They bowed with a strange expression and then left in a hurry.
As soon as Ling Ruo walked into the hall, he saw Yinzhen covering his mouth and coughing. He quickly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Is it okay?" Seeing that Yinzhen was coughing and speechless, he quickly said: "Sixi,
Go quickly and invite the imperial physician, and also invite the imperial physician Xu to this palace."
Yinzhen grabbed her hand and shook his head. After feeling calmer, he said, "I'm fine, but my throat suddenly felt a little itchy, so I coughed a few times. Don't worry too much."
"It's fine." What Ling Ruo is most afraid of now is that Yinzhen coughs up blood, which he managed to stop after being raised in the Old Summer Palace for so long. If it relapses as soon as he returns to the palace, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
"Don't worry about the rumors. I have already told those ministers that everything is my will and has nothing to do with you. Instead, that beast Hongshi sent people to sneak into the palace and spread rumors in the capital. In the end,
It's nothing but abominable." The more Yinzhen spoke, the angrier he became. He smacked the armrest and said bitterly: "I will issue an order soon for all prefectures and counties to round up Hongshi as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, Hongshi is no longer in the Qing Dynasty." Ling Ruo's words made Yinzhen startled, and he immediately asked: "Did you ask anything from Nala's mouth?"
"Yes, according to Nala, Hongshi has now gone to Tsarist Russia and gained the trust of the Tsarist. He will launch a war against the Qing Dynasty again this year."
Before Ling Ruo finished speaking, Yinzhen was already furious, "Beast! Beast! For the sake of his own selfish anger, he actually instigated a war like this. Does he know how many innocent people will die in the war? These are all human lives.
, doesn’t he care? Besides, what good will it do to him?”
"Hongshi wanted to seize the Qing Dynasty and become the emperor while both the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia were losing." Ling Ruo's words caused Yinzhen to sneer, "Ascending the throne as the emperor? He is no longer a prince, so what qualifications do he have?
Emperor, moreover, the Qing Dynasty is something he can seize whenever he wants."
"The Nala family doesn't know exactly what it is, but according to my concubine's understanding of Hongshi, he is not a reckless person. He must have a corresponding plan and must be on guard. Furthermore, no matter whether he has any way to seize it or not, he is not a reckless person.
When we go to the Qing Dynasty, a battle with Tsarist Russia is inevitable, so we should prepare in advance."
Yinzhen nodded and blamed himself: "If I had made up my mind to kill him early, there would be so many things happening now, and I would not have given him the opportunity to instigate Tsarist Russia to start a war."
Ling Ruo said softly: "After all, he is the emperor's heir, and the emperor has watched him grow up with his own eyes. It is reasonable to be ruthless, and the emperor does not need to blame himself."
Yinzhen shook his head and said solemnly: "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Si Xi, Prince Chuan Guo and Prince Bao came into the palace and said that I have something important to discuss."
