"Because..." Abi glanced at Mingyu secretly and hesitated to say anything. Lingruo saw all this in her eyes and said, "Even if you say it, no one can embarrass you with the Ai family here."
Abi responded: "The master forced the second elder brother to swear an oath not to meet Concubine Xian privately, and the second elder brother missed Concubine Xian very much and didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet, so... he did this.
"
Ling Ruo looked at Mingyu with a gloomy face and said coldly: "It turns out that the queen has done so many things behind her back."
Mingyu hurriedly said: "My son has done so much for Yonglian's good. I don't want him to continue to be deceived."
"Did you be deceived by Concubine Xian?" After Mingyu nodded, Ling Ruo continued: "But the Ai family just heard Abi say so much, and they didn't find that Concubine Xian was harmful to Yonglian or meant to instigate it.
, Yonglian’s pretending to recover from his illness has nothing to do with Concubine Xian.”
Mingyu said without thinking: "She is lying. If Concubine Xian hadn't instigated her, Yonglian would never have done these things."
Listening to her words, Ling Ruo suddenly laughed, "Don't you think it's ridiculous when the Queen says this?"
Mingyu said doubtfully: "Why is it ridiculous? I don't understand."
Ling Ruo suppressed her smile and said: "As a queen, you should be impartial and decisive. Even if the matter involves yourself, you must not forget these eight words. But just now, the queen heard Abi say that Yonglian was just to meet her.
Concubine Xian, when she deliberately pretended to be recovering from her illness, I thought she was telling the truth; when I heard Abi say that Concubine Xian had never instigated Yonglian, she said she was lying; in the eyes of the queen, any words that are not in line with your wishes are
Is it a lie?"
Mingyu was speechless for a moment, and Concubine Zhe whispered: "Huang'e Niang, this girl Abi is very cunning. If she hadn't been whipped before, she wouldn't have told the truth, so what came out of her mouth,
It’s hard to believe it easily.”
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said coldly: "Has the Ai family asked you anything?"
Concubine Zhe hurriedly lowered her head and said, "My dearest minister, please forgive me for talking too much."
At this time, Mingyu had already thought of a response and said: "Empress, I am not biased, but Concubine Xian has had bad intentions from the beginning. How can I trust her?"
"The Ai family didn't ask you to believe Concubine Xian. If you now have tangible evidence to prove that Concubine Xian did it, the Ai family will not say a word, but no, so the Ai family hopes that the queen will not say anything next.
, think about it carefully first, and don’t always be swayed by your own emotions. You have to remember
Look, you are a queen, not a village woman!" In Mingyu's ugly face, Ling Ruo continued: "Also, the person who really forced Yonglian to lie and couldn't get Dr. Xu to diagnose and treat him in time was none other than the queen.
You yourself; if you hadn't forced Yong Lian to swear, how could he have done such a thing?"
Seeing that Ling Ruo's words were becoming more and more serious, Hongli couldn't bear Mingyu being blamed, so he spoke out in defense: "Empress Huang, the queen is also dedicated to Yonglian's good, and it is not what she wants to do like this."
"The Ai family knows, but she is a queen, and she must be cautious in everything she says or does. How can we conclude that this incident was done by Concubine Xian just based on some guesses."
Before Hongli could say anything else, Mingyu said excitedly: "The emperor's mother-in-law said so much just because she wanted to say that I was wrong, that I wronged Concubine Xian, and that the person who harmed Yonglian like this was not Xian.
Concubine. When you defend her like this, have you forgotten how she harmed her children and even the emperor before?"
"Queen, stop talking." Hongli whispered: "I promise you that I will find out the murderer of Yonglian. If it is really Concubine Xian, I will never spare her."
Ling Ruo sneered and said, "Did the emperor hear this? The queen is teaching the Ai family a lesson. She thinks the Ai family are old and confused and can't remember the past."
Hongli hurriedly comforted him: "Huang'e Niang, the queen did not mean this, she..."
Ling Ruo interrupted him and said, "You don't have to say anymore. What does the queen mean? The Ai family knows it very well." After a pause, she said, "That's it, the Ai family doesn't want to talk any more. As the emperor said, everything will wait for Yonglian."
I'll tell you when there's news." After saying the last word, Ling Ruo's eyes swept over Concubine Zhe's face, making the latter inexplicably frightened.
In such a strange atmosphere, Si Xi, who had been left by Hongli in Yong Lian's room, walked in. Seeing him, everyone's hearts were raised. If Si Xi came at this time, Yong Lian must have news.
"How is the second elder brother? Is everything okay?" Hongli asked in a trembling voice, anxious and afraid, fearing that he would hear bad news.
Si Xi smiled, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the second elder brother's fever has gone down, and the medicine he was given after that has not been vomited out anymore. Doctor Xu said that the poison in the second elder brother's body has been controlled. As long as
Take the medicine on time and you should gradually get better."
Hearing this, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mingyu sobbed happily. Hongli said happily: "That's good! That's good!"
Almost... that is to say, not everyone is happy that Yong Lian escaped from hell. Concubine Zhe secretly clenched her hands. According to her plan with Yu Guiren, Yong Lian should have died, but now he actually let him pick up one.
Life comes back; damn it, Yong Lian is immortal, how can her Yong Huang inherit the throne?
Doctor Xu, is his medical skill really that superb? He had clearly stepped into the gate of hell, yet he was pulled back alive.
While she was secretly annoyed, Mingyu and others were already walking quickly to Yonglian's house. Although she didn't want to see Yonglian at all, she had to follow him for fear of exposing her flaws.
As soon as Mingyu entered the room, he rushed to Yonglian's bed, hugged Yonglian tightly, who had not yet woken up, and called his name over and over again, crying tears of joy as he kept falling.
Her son is still here, still alive, not dead, not leaving her behind in this world...
Xianyue stood next to Mingyu, laughing and crying at the same time. Aluo took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said softly: "Second brother should be happy that everything is fine. Why is the master crying instead?"
"Yes, it's time to laugh!" Xianyue choked and nodded, but tears kept falling. During that long wait, she was really scared, and that fear was even worse than Mingyu. As she said before
, Mingyu lost Yonglian, and many others, but she didn't. Except for Aluo and the others, only Yonglian was wholeheartedly good to her.
Concubine Zhe tried her best to squeeze out a few tears and pretended to be happy: "Okay, now the second elder brother is fine and everything has cleared up. Your Majesty, this time, thanks to Dr. Xu, the second elder brother can turn the corner."
"Yes, thanks to Imperial Physician Xu." Hongli nodded repeatedly and said gratefully to Rong Yuan: "Physician Xu, you saved Yonglian. I really don't know how to thank you."
Rong Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is serious, all this is what ordinary people should do."
