"What you said makes some sense." Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said: "I was just thinking about whether the news of Hongli's safe return should be made public. Now that you have this suspicion, then continue to hide this matter.
Go down."
Last night when Yinzhen was in the cold palace, Xiao Wu suddenly came in and told Yinzhen something, which was the return of Hongli. If not for this, Yinzhen would not have left the cold palace in a hurry.
Yinzhen and Lingruo were very happy and relieved to know that Hongli had returned safely. However, because the secret guards sent by Hongshi had not been found yet, they were afraid that Hongli would be attacked by them, so Yinzhen reported this matter
He covered it up, and all the insiders were given a gag order by him not to reveal that Hongli was still alive.
Ling Ruo said softly: "So, the emperor agrees?"
Yinzhen nodded and said: "Go out and tell Hongzhan that I will agree to his request, spare Nala's life, and let him go back with his concubine."
"I obey the decree." Ling Ruo bowed and left the Yangxin Hall. Concubine Cheng, who was waiting anxiously outside, saw her coming out and immediately came up to her and said, "Your Majesty, what did your Majesty say? Hongzhan's situation at the moment is very uncomfortable.
Okay, my consciousness is starting to get a little blurry."
"It's okay, don't worry." With that said, Ling Ruo came to the side of Hongzhan, whose eyes were wandering, and her voice was as cold as the wind in this winter, "The emperor has agreed to forgive Nala's death penalty, you can go back.
.Hongzhan, this is the last time I will help you. From now on...you can take care of yourself."
After that, she left without looking back. Behind her, Hongzhan, who was unconscious, felt relieved and fainted immediately after struggling to understand the meaning of Ling Ruo's words. Dai Jiashi
He quickly asked the palace officials to carry him to Jingren Palace and asked the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment.
Hongzhan was in coma for a whole day and night before he woke up. As soon as he woke up, he nervously asked Dai Jia who was guarding his bedside, "Mother, did the emperor really spare the emperor's mother?"
"Yes, it is fortunate that the imperial concubine asked for help, otherwise the emperor would not have taken back his life." Dai Jia touched his forehead, and then ordered the palace servants to bring the medicine that had been cooked long ago: "Drink the medicine quickly.
I have sent someone to cook the porridge, and you will be able to drink it later."
Hongzhan nodded, and after drinking the medicine, he asked in a low voice: "Did the empress invite the imperial concubine here?"
"In this palace, besides the noble concubine, who else can I turn to?" Dai Jiashi sighed softly and said: "Hongzhan, please listen to my advice and stop angering your emperor, okay?
"
Hongzhan did not speak, but nodded silently. Dai Jiashi glanced at Hongzhan and said, "Do you know why your emperor Ama suddenly issued an order to execute Nala?"
"It's because the fifth brother, Huang Ama, blamed the fifth brother's attack on Huang Aniang, so he ordered Ling Chi to die."
After listening to Hongzhan's words, Dai Jiashi sneered: "It seems that she doesn't dare to tell you the truth. You should have heard about Zhun Geer's attack on the Qing Dynasty, right?" After Hongzhan nodded, she said:
"Nala knew about this matter in advance, but she deliberately told the emperor that it was Tsarist Russia, causing the emperor to deploy all 200,000 troops in Yaksa.
We were completely unprepared for Zhungeer, and we didn't know until the city was attacked and Babaili rushed to send a report. In today's capital, you seem to be in peace, but in fact there are many crises. You may have to face Zhungeer at any time.
Once the capital city is breached by your attack, the Qing Dynasty will be over. If you were your emperor, would you not hate Nala?"
"Surprisingly... there is such a thing?" Hongzhan couldn't recover for a long time after hearing this. He never expected that the matter would be so complicated, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I do, but have you given me a chance? Or can you listen?" Dai Jia's words left Hongzhan speechless. Yes, how could he listen when he was so angry at that time?
He could only think that Dai Jia was lying to him. In fact, even now, he had some doubts about Dai Jia's words. The Queen was always from the Qing Dynasty, how could she do something dangerous to the Qing Dynasty?
What's the benefit to her?
Seeing that Hongzhan was silent, Dai Jia asked again: "The matter has passed, so don't mention it. In addition, I have something to ask you. Who are the people who came to see you twice? What happened to La Shi?"
, did you know it from him?”
Hongzhan retracted his body into the brocade quilt, covered his head and muttered: "I'm a little tired."
Dai Jiashi understood that Hongzhan didn't want to talk about it, and she couldn't press him, so she had to say: "Then you should have a good rest and wait until you feel better before talking about this matter."
It wasn't until the door was closed that Hongzhan pulled down the brocade quilt and stared blankly at the tent ceiling. He... whose words should he believe, the emperor's mother or the concubine?
In the past few days, Nala had been spending her days in panic. She didn't know whether Hongzhan could stop Yinzhen. She was afraid that at some point, someone from the palace would come with an executioner and cut off her flesh piece by piece.
, causing her to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
At dusk that day, Shang Rong, who had gone out to inquire about the news, walked in quickly and said with a face full of joy: "Master, I have heard about this. Brother Six has been begging on his knees outside the Yangxin Hall day and night. The emperor finally agreed. Don't worry, he won't.
Something happened."
"Is it true?" When Shang Rong nodded affirmatively, Nala let out a sigh of relief. This move was finally made, and all the efforts were not in vain.
Xiao Hezi said flatteringly at the side: "Congratulations to the master for turning the bad luck into good luck and turning the disaster into good fortune. If you escape the disaster this time, you will definitely have endless blessings in the future."
Nala sneered and said, "Yes, I will have endless blessings, but some people will be unlucky."
Xiao Hezi said flatteringly: "Master, do you want me to find a way to make Brother Six come to the cold palace again?"
"Don't worry, although Sixth Brother helped me get rid of the death penalty, the Niu Hulu family and the Dai Jia family must have been saying bad things about me in his ears. If I go to see him now, he may not come. Wait.
Let's talk after a while. If I am not mistaken, the capital city... will soon be in chaos!" The smile on Nala's face made Xiao Hezi and Shang Rong shudder. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look further.
On the third day after Nala said these words, Shuntian Mansion finally found the secret guards who assassinated Hongzhou in an abandoned house. Unfortunately, during the arrest process, the secret guards all poisoned themselves and failed to arrest them.
to a living mouth.
As for Hong Zhou, his condition was up and down, and he never regained consciousness. Geng was worried all day long, lest bad news would come.
On the fifth day after Yinzhen gave the order, the Minister of War finally managed to collect 100,000 troops, many of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. Li Shumi also arrived in the capital. Just before he was about to set off, the spies he had sent to inquire about the military situation came back.
, brought back the news that Yinzhen least wanted to hear.
