Chapter five hundred and ninetieth IX cannot be changed
Hearing this, Hong Zhou could only swallow his words and stand quietly aside, while Hong Li sat in his chair with his eyes closed, and the hall was silent...
I don’t know how much time passed, but Hongli slowly opened his eyes and said: "Lao Wu, I have been best friends with you since childhood. Over the years, I have always trusted you and have never doubted you; now I only ask you In one sentence, how true is what Wang Ze said?"
Hong Zhou's mind suddenly changed and he knelt down and said, "The emperor is as kind as a mountain to my brother and my brother E Niang. I will never dare to do anything disloyal to the emperor. Wang Ze is a man of Hong Xi. Although the emperor just used Hong Xi's Xi's life forced him to tell the truth, but he was not willing to fail, so he deliberately slandered his brother in front of the emperor in order to alienate him."
Hongli stood up, looked at him condescendingly and said, "In fact, back then, if the imperial concubine had not been ordered by her father to separate you and my brothers, she should have married you."
Hong Zhou raised his head and said, "What my brother was like back then, will be like that now and even in the future. It will never change."
Hongli knew that he was referring to the trust he had back then. Although Xianyue provoked him in every possible way, Hongzhou always maintained his brotherly love and never separated from him. Although more than ten years have passed since this incident, he still feels quite sad in retrospect. Out of gratitude, he looked at Hong Zhou with a much gentler look. After ordering Hong Zhou to stand up, he said: "Now that Wang Ze and those dead soldiers are dead, it can be regarded as a matter of concern. By the way, Chang Le's death is under investigation. how's it going?"
Hong Zhou hurriedly said: "Returning to the emperor, there has been no progress yet, but my brother has found a strange fragrance called lily of the valley fragrance. It can make butterflies go crazy and attack people randomly, just like the way the eldest princess died. .”
His words reminded Hongli of Xianyue's words. Could it be that...the so-called lily of the valley fragrance was really hidden on the queen's body at that time? As soon as this idea appeared, Hongli denied it, no, even though the queen had done something wrong, But Changle was just an innocent baby, so how could the Queen kill Changle so cruelly? Furthermore, those butterflies were caught by Yonghuang and had nothing to do with the Queen.
Thinking of this, Hong Li calmed down a little and said to Hong Zhou, who was standing aside with his hands down: "Continue to investigate. I want to know the origin of the lily of the valley incense and who has bought these incense."
Hong Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my brother will definitely investigate it as soon as possible."
Hongli nodded slightly, waved his hand and said: "Go down, and I will bring you the lily of the valley fragrance tomorrow."
After Hong Zhou left, Hong Li looked at the closed palace door with a complicated expression. Although he finally chose to believe Hong Zhou, Wang Ze's words were always lingering in his ears and could not go away.
This is not the first time he has heard private words. If once or twice is a rumor, then what are three or four times?
This night passed with thunder and complicated thoughts. The next day, Ergitu and his son reluctantly handed over the resignation letter. From businessmen to officials, and now from officials to businessmen, it was like they were in a dream. , after waking up from the dream, he was knocked back to his original shape.
On the same day, Concubine Yu was shocked when she received the letter Ergitu sent to the palace. She never imagined that such a big thing happened overnight.
She originally thought that those dead soldiers could help her, but she didn't expect that not long after, they were discovered, and Amma was also implicated. Now that her official position was demoted, it would be much more troublesome for her to do anything in the future.
No, she couldn't watch them being demoted, that was fine with Amma, but her brother had a great future, and it was a pity to lose him just like that.
After much deliberation, Concubine Yu ordered Xiao Quanzi to help her go to the Yangxin Hall. However, when she got there, Hongli didn't see her. She could only wait outside against the cold autumn wind. After waiting like this for two hours
, the palace door opened, and Hongli walked out with his hands behind his back.
Concubine Yu quickly knelt down and said, "I, my concubine, are here to see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed!"
Hongli looked her over and said, "Do you want to intercede for your mother and brother?"
Concubine Yu said earnestly: "Yes, I read the letter Ama sent in and knew that he made a big mistake, but I believe that he did not intentionally make friends with those accomplices, but was forced by them and had no choice but to do it. Please ask the emperor to
For the sake of my concubine, I will be given a lighter sentence."
Hongli said coldly: "I am doing this for your sake. If we really investigate them, it would not be an exaggeration to sentence them to death."
"But..." As soon as Concubine Yu said two words, Hongli said: "My decision has been made and cannot be changed. Concubine Yu should go back."
Concubine Yu was good at observing people's words. When she heard Hongli's words, she knew that her father and brother's career was over and there was no possibility of continuing her career. She had no choice but to retreat. When she returned to Xianfu Palace, she clenched her handkerchief and gritted her teeth.
Said: "Prince He, I am incompatible with him!"
Dongmei said softly: "This matter is really strange. How did Prince He know where those dead soldiers were hiding and how they were related to the master."
"There must be something wrong with that errant doctor." Concubine Yu said coldly: "I thought Nala Xianyue was so peaceful these days, but it turned out that she was planning this trick. She is really ruthless!"
Here, she laughed angrily, "But Nala Xianyue
Do you think you can win this palace? It’s ridiculous. Even if my Ama and younger brother are no longer officials, I still have Yongqi. What does she have, the eldest brother? How can a person with mediocre qualifications be defeated in the future?
It would be nice to seal Baylor, but there is no future at all!"
Xiao Quanzi said flatteringly: "What the master said is exactly what Concubine Xian tried to do, but she was just proud for a moment. There will be times when she will cry bitterly."
Concubine Yu's face brightened slightly, and she turned around and said: "Amma mentioned in the letter that Wang Ze once said in front of the emperor that Prince He had an affair with the Nala family. Looking at today's situation, the emperor seems not to believe it. It's really
pity."
Xiao Quanzi chuckled and said: "The emperor just doesn't believe it this time. Next time... the next time... who can say for sure."
His words made Concubine Yu's eyes brighten, and she nodded and said: "Yes, as long as people keep hearing the news, the Emperor's suspicious temperament will sooner or later become suspicious. Maybe it will arise this time, but he has never shown it."
Dongmei took the opportunity to say: "The master's family has just been demoted. Their lives and foundation are still there, and they can still help the master secretly. As for Concubine Xian, there is no one in her mother's family, and the only one she can rely on is Prince He. But the more help she has, the more she can help."
, the easier it is to arouse the emperor's suspicion. To put it bluntly, you are just drinking doves to quench your thirst, and sooner or later you will seek your own death."
Listening to their words, the depression in Concubine Yu's heart was relieved a lot. After reading the letter sent by Ergitu again, she ordered Dongmei to get pen and ink. Since she could no longer be an official, she could only concentrate on business. Fortunately, the former
The connections are still there, and she has the reputation of being a happy concubine, so she can do things with twice the result with half the effort; they all say that money can make things work, but as long as there is enough money, things can also be accomplished.
