Mrs. Gao's expression was stagnant for a long time before she said sarcastically: "I don't know, I don't know."
Hongli frowned and said: "In other words, when you came to me today and accused the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty of sneaking into the cold palace, it was just a matter of speculation and there was no real evidence at all?"
"No." Mrs. Gao quickly denied it, and then she composed herself and said, "I feel that there is no smoke without fire, and when I heard that the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty came to question me, he could not tell the name and residence of the palace maid. It is really suspicious.
, that’s why I came to ask to see the emperor.”
Hongli raised his eyebrows and said: "But Sixi has already searched the cold palace, which proves that the Song Dynasty doctor has never been there. As for the fact that he can't tell the identity of the palace maid, he must have forgotten it temporarily."
"But..." Gao felt that this matter was not that simple, but for a while, she couldn't tell where the problem lay.
Hongli raised his hand and said: "Okay, I believe the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty. He has always been careful in his work and abided by his duties. How could he do such a ridiculous thing as sneaking into the cold palace? It should be just a misunderstanding. Concubine Hui, I will talk about it later.
If there’s anything, I’ll investigate it clearly before making a conclusion, you know?”
"I have written it down." After Gao agreed with great humiliation, Hongli said, "It's getting late, you go back."
Mrs. Gao glanced at Hongli and said helplessly: "Yes, I will retire."
After the palace door was closed again, Hongli's expression suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Song Zihua, who was still standing in the palace, and asked Sixi, "What is the truth?"
Under Song Zihua's surprised gaze, Sixi said: "When I returned to the emperor, I found many medicinal materials in the cold palace. There was also a prescription left by the Song imperial physician, which recorded the uses of various medicinal materials. However, Nala's did not
She's sick, her maid Zhichun is the one who's sick."
In Song Zihua's frightened face, Hongli shouted coldly: "Do you know the crime?"
Song Zihua knew that he couldn't hide it, so he knelt down and said: "This humble minister deserves to die, please punish me."
Hongli snorted heavily and said: "If I want to punish you, I will not let Si Xi hide it in front of Concubine Hui. Tell me exactly what happened. If you hide anything again this time, I will definitely
I will punish you for deceiving the emperor and trespassing in the cold palace."
"I don't dare." With these words, Song Zihua told the story in detail, and then boldly said: "Your Majesty, my wife did this because she was concerned about Zhichun. Please have mercy."
Hongli said coldly: "Are you okay? Are you still helping her to plead for mercy?"
Although Hongli was not pretentious, Song Zihua did not have much panic in his heart. Just as Hongli said before, if he wanted to punish his crime, he would not let Sixi deliberately conceal it just now.
Hongli took a deep breath and said, "I'll let you go this time, but I won't let you go again, you know?" After Song Zihua kowtowed to thank him, Hongli waved his hand and said, "Stand down."
Song Zihua hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, please remember this is my first offense and forgive her this time."
Hongli said nothing, only said: "I asked you to step back, didn't you hear?"
Seeing what Hongli said, Song Zihua had no choice but to leave. After he went out, Hongli took a long breath, closed his eyes and leaned back. When the candle on the celadon candlestick became dim because it had burned for too long,
Hongli's voice just sounded again, "How is she?"
Sixi knew that he was asking about Xianyue, and immediately said: "My wife looks a little thinner, and her expression is also very haggard."
"She deserves it!" Hongli said coldly, but his eyes that he opened were filled with confusion and confusion. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He obviously hated Xiayue's cruelty and ruthlessness, but just now, his heart was unreasonable.
In a fit of weakness, he actually sent Xiao Wu to chase Si Xi and asked Si Xi to conceal the truth, causing the Gao family to return without success.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly sneered: "When did Nala Xianyue become so concerned about the palace people? In her eyes, shouldn't everyone be chess pieces? If they are gone, they will be gone. She won't care at all.
.Aluo, you used to serve her, tell me, has she changed her temper?"
A Luo, who was still in the palace, lowered his head and said: "Returning to the emperor, in fact... the lady has always been very good to the slaves. The incident with the queen is really surprising to me. She obviously didn't do anything, but she put the blame on it.
Come to me." After a pause, she said: "Actually, there is something that I don't know whether to tell the emperor."
Hongli said casually: "What is it?"
"Actually... when I accompanied the second elder brother to feed the cats at the right gate of Changkang, I once encountered someone who wanted to harm the second elder brother."
Hongli looked stern, sat up straight and said: "When and who wants to harm Yonglian, tell me immediately and carefully, and don't let anything slip out."
Aluodang was about to tell the story, and then said: "It was because of this that the cat was kicked to death by Qi Kuan. Then, in order to make the second elder brother happy, the wife asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and raise Xinxin in the Yanxi Palace.
, and at the same time, it can also prevent someone from harming the second elder brother."
Hongli never expected that there would be such a thing, and said coldly: "Why don't I know about this?"
A Luo whispered: "Because I don't know who wants to harm the second elder brother, and there is no basis for it, the emperor may not believe it. Of course, the most important thing is that the second elder brother is safe, so the lady will not
Tell the emperor about this." She paused for a while and then said: "My wife used to treat the slaves and the second elder brother very well. I don't know why it became like this this time. It's just... It's like she has changed.
Human-like."
Hongli previously believed that Xianyue was using Yonglian to harm Xianyue, but after hearing A Luo's words, he was a little shaken. If Xianyue really loved Yonglian so much and was even willing to protect her with her own life, she shouldn't
Would do such a cruel thing. And after the incident, Yonglian has been helping Xianyue to speak, even if everyone and evidence points to Xianyue, it has not changed.
Is Yong Lian blindly believing, or... is he wrong?
For a moment, Hongli was so confused that he couldn't figure it out. Seeing A Luo still standing there, he said: "You should step down first so that you can work in the imperial tea room. And the rest of you too, please step down."
, I want to be alone for a while." He was talking about Sixi and the others.
After he was the only one left in the Yangxin Hall, Hongli sighed quietly and murmured: "Xiayue, are you good or evil, good or bad? Why do you think that every time I think you understand clearly, you will?"
There is a new fog coming out, which makes me feel like looking at the moon in the water or flowers in the mirror."
Everyone in Leng Gong didn't know anything about the Yangxin Palace. After Si Xi left, everyone was uneasy and looked at the palace door from time to time, fearing that someone would come in with a decree to deal with them.
Zhou Quan was so anxious that he kept walking back and forth in the side hall, and kept saying: "What should I do? What should I do? When Eunuch Xi saw the medicinal materials and the handwriting of the Song Dynasty doctor on it, he will definitely tell the emperor, and then we will all
die."
Xianyue stood up and said, "Eunuch Zhou, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."
