3760. Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Six
At this time, Cining Palace summoned Hongli and ordered Hongli to go there immediately. Hongli guessed that Lingruo's sudden summons must be about Wei Xiuyan's affairs, and he had the intention not to go, but he could not avoid it once, so he could only
Bite the bullet and go ahead.
When they arrived at Cining Palace, it was already dusk. Ling Ruo was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion with her eyes closed. The palace maid was fanning slowly beside her. After Hongli entered, he quietly took the palace fan from the palace maid's hand and started fanning himself.
Ling Ruo's eyelids moved slightly. After a while, she closed her eyes and said, "But the emperor is here?"
Hongli said softly: "Yes, Huang's mother has a good ear."
Ling Ruo slowly opened her eyes, shook her head and said: "What a good ear. If it had been before, the Ai family would have heard it when you first stepped into the Nuan Pavilion. Unlike now, you have to wait until you notice the change in the wind before you are surprised."
Sleep." After a moment of pause, she said: "Dinner is almost ready. The Emperor should go back after eating with Ai's family. Mother and son have not dined together for a long time."
"Yes." With Hongli's agreement, Nuange became quiet, and only the sound of the Western clock "tick-tock" and "tick-tock" echoed in his ears. After a while, Ling Ruo said: "Did the emperor know that the Aijia sent you here today?"
What’s the intention?”
Hongli lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry for my son's stupidity, but he doesn't know the emperor's thoughts."
Ling Ruo stared at him and said, "Emperor, are the things rumored in the palace true? Have you really accepted Wei Xiuyan?"
Hongli stopped what he was doing for a long time and said in a low voice: "My son was confused for a moment and made a big mistake. Please forgive me."
Seeing that he admitted this, Ling Ruo's chest felt tight and her face turned slightly pale. Seeing this, Shui Xiu quickly stepped forward to caress Ling Ruo's chest and said nervously: "Your Majesty, please be careful."
Seeing this, Hongli knelt down and said: "It's my son who shouldn't be punished. I hope Huang'e Niang will not get angry because of his son!"
"You!" Ling Ruo pointed at him and was speechless for a long time. After feeling calmer, he said bitterly: "It's not enough for you to have one Wei Jingxuan, you have to have all the girls from the Wei family by your side to be happy.
"?" Seeing that Hongli was silent, she said again: "
If the women of the Wei family were well-educated, courteous, gentle, virtuous, and courteous, the Ai family would not say anything about it; but look at Wei Xiuyan, after she got married and lost her husband, she still felt uneasy about her duties, seduced Yong Rong, and made him die of tuberculosis.
, Emperor, have you forgotten all this?"
"My son remembers that it's just Xiuyan..." Hongli gritted his teeth and said something against his will, "Actually, she is also innocent. After Yongrong's death, she was the most saddened."
Ling Ruo said sternly: "If she is sad, she will not seduce you again! Emperor, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the supreme emperor of the Qing Dynasty, how can you have such a woman by your side? This matter is now being spread inside and outside the palace.
, within a few days, the ministers will write a letter asking what the emperor is going to do then."
Hongli made no excuses and just kept saying that he was confused. Ling Ruo tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and said: "The matter has come to this, the only way is to immediately cut off the contact with Wei Xiuyan and drive her out of Guangxiu Garden.
The further away from the capital, the better." After waiting for a while, but there was no reply from Hongli, she said with a deep look: "What's wrong? Could it be that you can't bear to leave that woman?"
Hongli gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "Son, I'm sorry to say that I must obey my orders!"
Ling Ruo's expression changed. For the sake of the Wei sisters, this was the second time Hongli had rebelled against her intentions. She was about to get angry when her expression suddenly softened. After a while, she said slowly: "Emperor, do you have anything to hide?"
Going to the Ai family?"
Hongli's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "The only thing I have to hide is that the Queen already knows about it, so what else does my son have to hide?"
Ling Ruo took a deep look at him and said, "You are the meat that fell off the Ai family. For decades, the Ai family has watched you grow from a babbling child to the present. Your thoughts cannot be hidden from the Ai family. Tell me, and
What's up."
Hongli forced a smile and said: "Empress Huang was wrong. My son really has nothing to hide."
Ling Ruo stared at him for a moment and said slowly: "Aren't you going to say yes? Okay!" After saying the word "ok", she turned to Yang Hai and said: "Go and check the emperor's daily life notes for the past month.
Please bring all the records of people who have had contact with the emperor to the Ai family to Cining Palace. The Ai family wants to ask questions one by one!"
Hongli exclaimed in shock: "Empress Huang, what are you going to do?"
Ling Ruo said expressionlessly: "The emperor refuses to tell the truth, so the Ai family will have to find the answer themselves. If it doesn't work in one month, then push it forward for half a year. If it doesn't work in half a year, push it forward a year. We can always find the answer."
Hongli said anxiously: "Empress Huang, you... why are you doing this!"
Ling Ruo ignored him and only urged Yang Haida: "Hurry up and go!"
Yang Hai responded helplessly. When he retreated to the threshold of Zhuhong, Hongli gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "The emperor really wants to know, right? My son will tell you." Without waiting for Ling Ruo to say anything, he
Already said: "My son is lustful and lustful. He has long been interested in Wei Xiuyan's beauty. It's just because of Yongrong that he can't accept her."
, after Yong Rong's death, her son got what he wanted and placed her outside the palace. If the emperor still didn't believe it, she sent someone else to ask, but when the time came, the matter became a big deal and everyone was talking about it after dinner.
Just kidding, don't blame your son." In order to dispel Ling Ruo's thoughts, he deliberately made himself look extremely miserable!
Ling Ruo stared at him with frightened and angry eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you threatening the Ai family?"
"My son doesn't dare, but if the emperor insists on thinking this way, my son can't do anything about it." At this time, a palace official came in and said that dinner had been set up in the side hall. After a period of silence, Hongli held his hands and said, "My son still has something to do."
As for the matter, come back another day to have dinner with the Queen."
Shuixiu was afraid that she would be angry, so she comforted her: "The emperor is not a womanizer. What he said just now must be just angry words. Don't take it to heart."
Ling Ruo didn't get angry, she just stared at the darkening sky outside the house without saying a word. After a long time, she said to Yang Hai who was standing by the door: "Go and get it."
Yang Hai looked hesitant and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has told you the truth, so... don't check the daily records anymore. If things really get into trouble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end."
Ling Ruo smiled coldly and said, "Do you believe what the emperor said?"
Yang Hai was startled and asked doubtfully: "Shouldn't this servant believe it?"
Ling Ruo held Shuixiu's hand and walked slowly to the unclosed door. Looking at the direction Hongli left, she said slowly: "The emperor thought he could deceive the Ai family, but he forgot that he was born in the Ai family.
, to some extent, Ai Jia is better than himself
We also need to know more about him, the emperor... who is willing to risk the world to accept Wei Xiuyan must have some inside story. The Ai family must find out about this matter, but it is really not appropriate to do it in a big way. You can get the living notes and see if you can get it out of it.
