Hongli looked at the miserable and helpless woman below with pity and sighed: "I know you have been wronged a lot these days, but not all people in the world are cunning and evil. You are kind-hearted and you should be able to meet your husband."
.”
Qiao Yan'er shook her head sadly and said: "I'm afraid that I'm meeting Mr. Jackal. The daughter of the people is afraid. I'm really afraid. She would rather never marry in this life." After saying that, she kowtowed again and choked with sobs: "Please bow down, Your Majesty."
pity."
Hongli stared at her for a long time and sighed: "That's all, since you have no intention of getting married, you can stay in this palace to serve me from now on."
Qiao Yan'er was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to thank her. Then she asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Madam, is she in the palace? I want to kowtow to her."
"The Queen is unwell and is resting in the inner hall. Don't disturb her. As for the errands to be done, Sixi will arrange them for you. Come on down."
After sending Qiao Yan'er away, Hongli gave some instructions, and then turned around and went to the inner hall to visit Xianyue. As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of Xianyue coughing. Jinping had just finished serving Xianyue and drank medicine.
, seeing Hongli coming in, he quickly bowed and saluted.
Hongli sat down by the bed, tested the temperature between Xia Yue's forehead, and frowned: "Why is it still so hot after taking medicine? How do these imperial doctors treat diseases? Sixi, go and bring Fang Jian and the others here."
.”
Xianyue quickly grabbed Hongli and said in a hoarse voice: "I just drank two pills. Even if it is a miracle medicine, it doesn't take effect so quickly. Besides, I am feeling better now, and I believe she will be fine soon."
It’ll be fine.”
Hearing what she said, Hongli felt relieved a little, looked at Xianyue's haggard face, and said in a bitter voice: "I've really worked hard on you this time, asking you to suffer so much with me."
Xianyue smiled softly, shook his hand and said softly: "How can the emperor say such things? I have said that as long as I can be with you, no matter how difficult it is, I will be happy with it."
Hongli smiled back, his expression becoming gentler, "So I say, if you have a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
After waiting for a moment, Xianyue said: "I heard from Qi Kuan that the emperor's general Fang Guancheng, Li Shihui and others were arrested. I remember Yan'er said that there are people in Wanhua Tower in the capital.
, have they ever named this person?”
"Not yet, but I have handed them over to Dehai. With Dehai's torture methods, sooner or later, we can force them to confess that person. In addition, I have just met Qiao Yan'er. Wanhua Tower has been sealed, and she has no choice.
She is home and wants to continue to work by your side, and I have agreed. However, I know that you are not used to new people, so I gave her to Sixi for training, and let her do some rough errands in the future."
Xianyue's heart moved slightly and she said with a smile: "Although Yan'er is here for the first time, I am very fond of her, and she is smart and smart, so let her come and work by my side."
Hongli nodded and said: "Since it is your wish, I will ask Sixi to bring her over later that night."
While he was talking, Xiao Wu walked in quickly, bowed and said: "To report to the Emperor, the Chief Manager is here, saying that he has something to ask for and wants to see the Emperor."
"I know, let him wait in the main hall, I will be here in a while." After Xiao Wu went down, Xianyue said: "Dehai's request to see him must be about Fang Guancheng and others. Your Majesty, please come over quickly.
, I have Jinping and the others waiting on me here."
Hongli said softly: "But I want to see you for a while longer. If possible, I would like to look at you like this for the rest of my life."
Xianyue spat softly: "When did the emperor become so good at coaxing people? You have seen this face for more than twenty years, and I am afraid you have long been disgusted with it. Not to mention that I am getting older now and no longer look as good as before."
.”
"No!" Hongli said with a solemn expression: "The queen treats me sincerely and is willing to live and die with me. I treat this affection like a treasure and treasure it for the rest of my life. As for her appearance..." He raised his hand to touch his blemishes.
Yue's eyebrows said word by word: "Youth and beauty are good, but in my eyes, they will never be as sincere as the Queen. Therefore, please also ask the Queen not to say such words again in the future, okay?"
Xianyue didn't expect that he would say these words, and she was very moved in her heart. She choked and nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
Hongli nodded, and after Xianyue lay down and fell asleep, he went to the main hall. At this time, the sky had darkened. Dehai was waiting in the hall, and Hongzhou was also there. When they saw him coming in, they all bowed and saluted.
.
After Hongli sat down in the dragon chair, he said coldly: "Did they say it?"
A trace of pride flashed in Dehai's eyes, and he bowed and said: "If I return to the emperor, Wang Wei and Fang Guancheng have already been recruited. They confessed the man from the capital, but it was not the capital, but... Shengjing!"
"Shengjing?" Hongli murmured and repeated these two words, and suddenly said: "But General Hongsheng of Shengjing?"
Shengjing, also known as Fengtian Mansion, is the land of Longxing. Since the first year of Shunzhi, when the Qing army entered the pass and established Beijing as the capital, Shengjing was changed to a permanent capital with five departments: household, ritual, military, punishment, and work.
Each ministry had a minister, and the internal minister was appointed as the general manager. In the third year of Shunzhi, the internal minister was changed to guard Angbang Zhangjing, and later it was changed to general Shengjing.
Hongli was a man who missed his old love. After he succeeded to the throne, in order to let all the Aixinjueluo family members live a good life, he selected the thirteenth son Hongsheng from among the more than ten sons of his uncle Yunti to promote him.
, let him serve as general in Shengjing, the land of Longxing, and showed great favor to him.
In Shengjing, General Shengjing has the highest status, so as soon as Dehai mentioned Shengjing, Hongli thought of Hongsheng, but he was unwilling in his heart that this guess would come true; however, the more reluctant he is, the more likely he is to do something.
The easier it is to come true.
Dehai lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, is the great general."
Hearing this, Hongli's face instantly became extremely ugly. He cared about his brotherhood and treated Hongsheng favorably. However, Hongsheng repaid him in this way. What a talent!
Hong Li said in a cold voice: "Immediately send someone to Shengjing and escort Hong Chang to Hangzhou Mansion to see me."
Before Si Xi could go down to deliver the order, Hong Zhou had already said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I have something to say."
Hongli looked coldly and said: "What's wrong? Do you want to plead for Hongsheng?"
Hong Zhou said quickly: "I don't dare, I just think this matter is a bit strange, so I ask the emperor to temporarily put aside the anger of Thunder."
His words made Hong Li look puzzled, "What's strange? Do you think what Wang and Fang said is untrue? Hong Sheng is not the mastermind?"
Seeing Hongli looking over, Dehai hurriedly said: "To report to the emperor and the prince, the servant interrogated the two of them separately, but they both said in unison that the person behind them was the general. The servant thought that the person behind them was the general.
, this statement should be credible.”
"My brother does not suspect that what Wang Fang and his wife said is untrue, but I am confused as to why Hong Chang did this?"
