Seeing Ling Ruo holding Yang Hai's hand and about to leave, Hongli hurriedly said: "Empress Eniang, everything my son said is the truth and there is no lies."
Ling Ruo said indifferently: "In this case, I believe the emperor will not care about the Ai family asking Guang Chengzi again." Ling Ruo's words made Hongli anxious. When she was about to step out of the Yangxin Hall, Hongli finally couldn't help but go up.
He stopped me in front of me and said, "Empress Huang, stay here!"
Ling Ruoyi stopped as she was told, but did not speak. She just stared at Hongli coldly. The latter looked at her for a long time and said helplessly: "Please come into the inner hall, my son, and let my son speak to you slowly."
Ling Ruo glanced at Yang Hai, who helped her to the inner hall knowingly. After helping her sit down personally, Hongli told Ling Ruo truthfully about Yong Cun. Although the latter had guessed that Hongli
With such concealment, the matter must be no small matter, but when he heard that Yong Cun's fate was missing, and Yong Xuan died in Yong Cun's place, he still couldn't help but turn pale with horror, and said in a trembling voice: "You said... Yong Cang will not survive this year.
?”
Hongli said helplessly: "That's what Tang Qizhang said. If Yongxuan hadn't happened to suffer the disaster on his behalf during this hunting in the paddock, Yongxuan would have been... gone now."
Ling Ruo remained silent for a long time, until the silver charcoal in the copper basin erupted with a soft "beeping" sound, and then he said in a deep voice: "Yun Zhongzi refused to tell you the way to complete Yong Cang's destiny, so you killed Zi
A person from Yunguan?"
Hongli said helplessly: "At that time, Yongcheng's situation was in critical condition, and his son urgently needed him to cast a spell. However, Yun Zhongzi, a pedantic old man, refused to reveal the method. Even if his disciples and disciples died in front of him, he still refused to let go. If he had said that at that time,
How could there be so many things happening now?"
"Is there a way to complete it now?" Facing Ling Ruo's question, Hongli nodded and said, "There is a way!"
Ling Ruo's eyes lit up and she said hurriedly: "What can I do?"
"Does the Queen still remember Wei Xiuyan?" After Ling Ruo nodded, he continued: "Yun Zhongzi calculated that Wei Xiuyan has a special destiny. The children she gives birth to can complete the destiny of Yong Cang and trade lives for lives!"
Ling Ruo frowned slightly and said, "So you insisted on placing Wei Xiuyan in Guangxiu Garden despite everyone's objections?"
At this time, Hongli had nothing to hide and said truthfully: "Yes, this is the only way to save Yong Cang. My son can't give up no matter what. Now Wei Xiuyan has been pregnant for nearly eight months, and there is still more than one month left.
The child will be born, and when the time comes, Yongxing’s destiny will be fulfilled, and she will no longer have to worry about her life all the time.”
Ling Ruo sat there with a complicated look on her face. She never imagined that there was such a reason behind Wei Xiuyan's incident. She never imagined that her most beloved grandson would have such a heart-wrenching fate. Looking back, Yongxun had grown up
, the fate is indeed not smooth, and I have stepped into the gate of hell with one foot several times.
"Does Wei Xiuyan know about this matter?"
"The son did not tell her that after she gave birth to the child, he would ask Po Wen to tell her that the child died in childbirth, and then send her to Jiangnan. She would never set foot in the capital again, and she would never know about her child.
The real cause of death.”
"That's good." Ling Ruo nodded and said, "But Wen De's words in the court today have aroused the suspicion of Zhao Xianming and others. They are likely to investigate secretly. You should be on guard early."
"My son knows that he will tell Guang Chengzi and the others to keep their mouths shut." Before Hongli finished speaking, Ling Ruo said coldly: "I'm afraid some people can't seal their mouths tightly, otherwise how could Wende know about it?
.”
"Then according to the emperor's wishes..." Hongli didn't think of this problem, but for a while he couldn't think of a better way.
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said: "Just say that the Ai family has been unwell recently, and asked Ziyun Temple and Wanshou Temple to pray for the Ai family for a month. In order to allow them to pray with peace of mind and not be distracted by trivial matters, no one is allowed to enter or exit during this period;
In this way, naturally no news will be leaked; within a month, I believe the emperor can find out who leaked the news."
Hongli lowered his eyes and said, "My son understands. My son will ask Xiao Wu to deliver the order later."
"Okay." With this word, Ling Ruo stood up and held Hongli's hand, saying word by word: "Remember, you must save Yong Cun's life. The Ai family doesn't want to give away a man with white hair to a man with black hair!"
How could Hongli not understand her thoughts and solemnly said: "Don't worry, my son will definitely not let anything happen to Yong Cang."
Ling Ruo nodded happily, "If there is someone in the court who has evil intentions and wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, you can go to your seventeenth uncle. Although he is no longer in charge of things, he is still the late emperor's seventeenth brother and the late emperor's brother.
The auxiliary minister who was appointed before his death, with him on your side, I believe he can suppress these people."
After Hongli agreed, he said: "My son, I will send you back."
Ling Ruo waved her hand and said: "No need, just go do your thing." After that, she left with Yang Hai's support. Hongli silently watched her retreating figure, compared with when she came.
, her back looks a lot stooped.
Hongli understood that once something happened to Yong Cang, it would be an extremely heavy blow to him, Xianyue, and Ling Ruo. No matter what method he used, he would keep Yong Cang safe.
On that day, Hongli followed Ling Ruo's words and sent an edict to Ziyun Temple and Wanshou Temple. At the same time, he ordered Agui to lead troops to guard the two places, and no one was allowed to enter or leave within a month. Later, he summoned Hongzhou to see him again.
Investigate as soon as possible who in Ziyun Temple leaked the news.
At the same time, people in Jingren Palace were panicking. Concubine Xin sat in a chair in despair. The tea in her hand was hot and cold. She changed it several times but never touched it. Her eyes kept staring.
Holding the closed palace door, he seemed to be waiting for someone.
When the palace attendant was once again preparing to take down the cold tea, a figure with a chill all over his body ran in. As soon as she saw him, Concubine Xin hurriedly stood up and said nervously: "How is it?"
The palace man took a few breaths and bowed: "Replying to the master, I heard that Lord Wende has been taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment by the emperor to await execution. In addition...and..."
Xiuzhu urged: "If there is anything else, tell me quickly!"
The palace man said in a seductive voice: "In addition, the emperor has decreed that within the three clans, all males over the age of fourteen will be killed, and the remaining ones will be sent to Ning Guta and will not be allowed to return to the capital. At this time, the emperor should have sent someone
The house is being searched."
Concubine Xin stood there in a daze, muttering something, Xiuzhu said nervously: "What about the master? Did the emperor mention the master?"
"I don't know about this, but my master has been with me for several years. Your Majesty... should have cared about some friendship and not killed them all." No matter what he said, there was a trace of uncertainty in his words. After all, Wen De's crime was not.
