Four hundred and sixtieth chapters Nian imperial concubine
"I asked you to answer, didn't you hear me?" Unable to wait for the answer, Yinzhen couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands, while his slightly narrowed eyes showed a cold look.
After struggling for a long time, Ling Ruo finally made a decision and met his eyes and said: "Please let the emperor give the people of Tongzhou a way to live, and also ask the emperor to let Dr. Xu a way to live!"
"Okay! Okay! I'm finally willing to speak my mind!" Yinzhen clapped his hands and looked at Ling Ruo with endless anger burning in his eyes.
Ling Ruo knew that what she just said must have made Yinzhen angry, but she had no other choice, Rong Yuan... She owed him a lot, how could she bear to watch him die for selfish gain at this moment; and
Jingxue, finally able to be with Rong Yuan.
She endured the pain in her jaw and kowtowed hard: "I have been married to the emperor for nineteen years. Doesn't the emperor still know what kind of person I am? Whatever I had with Imperial Physician Xu in the past, it is all in the past.
The thing is, at this moment, the emperor is the only one in my heart!"
"In that case, why are you pleading on his behalf to let me let him live?!" Yinzhen said coldly, obviously not believing her words much.
Faced with Yinzhen's suspicion, Ling Ruo felt extremely sad. But at this moment, Rong Yuan's life was at stake, so she had to cheer up and said: "I really don't have any personal feelings, I just think that Dr. Xu is a kind man and treats others kindly."
, He really didn’t deserve to die in such a wasteful way, not to mention that when the emperor was suffering from the epidemic, he tried every means to bring the emperor back from the hell gate. He..."
"That's enough!" Yinzhen slapped the square table next to him with a heavy palm, his face alternated between green and red, full of anger, "Concubine Xi, you are so brave, you dare to threaten Xu Rongyuan's credit for saving me.
I!"
Ling Ruo shook his head quickly, and before she could say anything more, Yinzhen said bitterly: "You don't have to say anything anymore. I originally sent Xu Rongyuan to treat the plague in Tongzhou, but he did nothing. Not only did he not say that he could cure the plague, he also aroused public resentment. Now Tongzhou is in chaos.
, the plague is raging and unstoppable, he is the first to bear the brunt of the crime, how can he be forgiven!"
"No!" Ling Ruo heard the murderous intention in his words and turned pale with horror. She quickly went over and pulled the corner of Yinzhen's robe embroidered with sea water patterns and cried out: "Mr. Xu is innocent, please forgive his life!"
Yinzhen looked at Ling Ruo coldly, disappointment, disgust, and anger intertwined into complex lines in his eyes, "I will never forgive him, never!"
He wanted to break away from her pull, but Ling Ruo held on tightly and refused to let go. Until the end, she couldn't help but kowtow, begging Yinzhen to spare Rong Yuan's life. This was what she owed him.
She must save him, otherwise she will never have peace of mind for a day in her life.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to see you."
This voice is Nian's. What is she doing here at this time?
"Come in." Yinzhen was upset about Ling Ruo at this time and didn't want to see her at first, but when he heard that she said something was urgent and he came over at this time, he patiently saw her.
The door was pushed open, and Nian walked in slowly. Behind her was a frightened Li Dequan, who kowtowed to Yinzhen and said, "I have informed Concubine Nian that the emperor is talking to Concubine Xi and it is inconvenient to meet him."
However, Concubine Nian still insisted on knocking on the door, and the servant could not stop her. I begged the Emperor to forgive me."
Yinzhen waved his hand and frowned: "You have nothing to do here, you go down first." Then he said to Nian: "What is the important matter that makes Su Yan come to see me so late?"
After hearing this, Nian moved her eyes away from Ling Ruo who was still kneeling on the ground. With a faint sneer, she took out a letter from her sleeve and said: "I just received a letter from the slave of Shoukang Palace. After seeing it, I thought that the matter was of great importance and must be reported to the emperor, so I came here to hope that the emperor would forgive me for my recklessness."
Shoukang Palace? Yinzhen frowned more and more. All the late emperor's concubines lived there, what could be important?
With this in mind, he took the letter from Nian and opened it. After reading a few lines, his initially unconcerned expression immediately became extremely solemn. After reading the entire letter, his face became extremely ugly, "Where is the slave who sent the letter?" ?”
"Just wait outside." Nian had already expected that Yinzhen would want to see the person who sent the letter after reading the letter, so she made sure to bring him with her when he came.
"Pass!" Yinzhen spat out a word coldly, his eyes swiping across Ling Ruo like a razor blade. Even though Ling Ruo was kneeling with her head down, she could still feel a sharp pain. At the same time, she was also thinking quickly about Nian. The content of the letter from the Shoukang Palace...could it be...impossible? Shi Qiuci's letter was obviously intercepted and burned on the spot. How could it possibly fall into the hands of the Nian family? But if it weren't for Shi Qiuci's letter, Yin's letter Why would Zhen look at himself like that?
Amidst such anxiety, a thin eunuch walked in. He kowtowed to Yinzhen in fear and said: "My servant Xiaochunzi pays your respects to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed."
Ling Ruo quickly raised her head and glanced at the little Chunzi, and her heart suddenly froze at the sight. This Xiao Chunzi, she remembered, was the little eunuch who brought Yin Qi to see Shi Qiuci that day. Speaking of which, he was indeed someone close to Shi Qiuci, so that letter...
Yinzhenyang raised the letter in his hand and said, "Did you give this letter to Concubine Nian?"
"Yes!" Xiao Chunzi just agreed, and Yinzhen immediately asked: "It has been many days since Concubine Jing passed away. If this letter is really left by Concubine Jing, why did you not take it out until now?"
Xiao Chunzi hurriedly said: "In fact, there are two letters to reply to the emperor. Concubine Jing was in trouble that day, and she knew she could not escape, so she wrote two identical letters and gave them to Juan'er and the slaves, telling her that if something unexpected happened to her, Then she asked Juan'er to send the letter to Kunning Palace to the queen. As for the letter from the slave, it was originally used just in case. If Juan'er delivers the letter to the queen as scheduled, then the letter in the slave's hand will naturally be There is no need. On the contrary, if it is not delivered, let the slave come to the imperial concubine with the letter at a safe time. The imperial concubine said that the person who harmed her has ulterior motives, is ruthless and insidious, and she must not be allowed to escape easily."
Ling Ruo was secretly shocked. What she asked Yang Hai to intercept was just the letter in Juan'er's hand. Unexpectedly, Shi Qiuci guessed early on that she might send someone to intercept the letter, so in addition to Juan'er, she also arranged for Xiao Chunzi to do so. A chess piece, or maybe Xiao Chunzi is her real back-up, and Juan'er is just a cover to confuse herself.
Xiao Chunzi glanced at Yinzhen secretly and said: "On the second day after the death of the concubine, Juan'er went out with the concubine's letter and never came back. Only after asking around did she find out that someone had falsely accused her of stealing the concubine. I sent her to the Criminal Punishment Department. I was afraid that someone would find out that I had the same letter on my body, and they would harm me, so I didn’t dare to show my face until today.”
