Nian was quietly listening to Xiao Chunzi talking. She had gotten the letter as early as the day of the earthquake, but she had never taken it out. The entire letter from Concubine Jing only refers to one person, who is kneeling at this moment.
Niu Hulu on the ground.
Naturally, she didn't take out the letter because she wanted to protect the Niu Hulu family. On the contrary, she didn't know how much she hoped that the Niu Hulu family would die. It was just that the timing of getting the letter was wrong. There was an earthquake in the capital at that time, and Yinzhen was preoccupied with the earthquake.
For disaster relief, if she had taken it out at that time, I'm afraid Yinzhen wouldn't even have the time to look at it.
She had endured the Niu Hulu clan for so many years, and finally caught this opportunity, so naturally she wanted to find the best opportunity to deliver it.
In the following days, the informants in the palace told her that the queen had sent people around her out of the palace several times. She expected that the queen must have done something recently.
As for who she was looking for to cause trouble, she didn't know at first, but after learning that Yilan had entered the palace, she knew for sure. The queen had always regarded the Niu Hulu family as a thorn in her side, and had endured it for many years, and finally chose now to take action.
The queen wanted to deal with the Niu Hulu clan, and she was naturally happy to see the success. After that, she ordered people to keep an eye on Kunning and the two palaces of Chengqian and report immediately if there was any movement in the two palaces.
Because of this, she knew that the Queen came in and out of the South Study twice in a row tonight. Later, Yinzhen summoned all the courtiers and Niu Hulu to see her in the South Study.
According to the information she got from the young eunuch serving in the South Study, the matter seemed to have something to do with Tongzhou. Although she couldn't figure out why the Niu Hulu family was involved in the Tongzhou matter, it did not prevent her from seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
good opportunity
. He found Xiao Chunzi overnight and asked him to follow him to the South Study Room and tell him everything in detail. Naturally, the date of sending the letter would have to be changed to today, otherwise Yinzhen asked why she took so long to reply, but it was
Hard to answer.
Yinzhen's thin lips pursed into a cold straight line, and his gaze fixed on Ling Ruo was full of pain. He stood up and walked to Ling Ruo step by step. He loosened his fingers and let two thin pieces of letter paper fall on Ling Ruo.
If in front of her, the small characters on them were like small snakes lingering on the paper, spitting out scarlet letters, and they would pounce towards her at any time.
"The word "Xi" means light, which represents the good side of everything. I gave this word as your title because I thought you were a respectful and kind person and worthy of this title. But it turns out that I was wrong.
one
I've been wrong about you all this time!" When he said these words, there was indescribable pain in Yinzhen's eyes, and his hands hanging by his sides made a crunching sound. He was afraid that if he let go even a little, he would not be able to help himself.
A slap in the face.
Ling Ruo picked up the letter on the ground with trembling hands, already prepared for the worst, but when she saw the contents of the letter, she still felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Shi Qiuci said in the letter that she knew that Ling Ruo and Imperial Physician Xu had known each other since childhood and had a deep affection for each other. They had never forgotten each other after they were forced to separate. Therefore, Imperial Physician Xu managed to become the imperial physician in the palace and often came to the palace under the pretext of treating illnesses.
Have a secret affair with Ling Ruo. You can get it yourself
After learning about this matter, he tried to persuade Ling Ruo several times. Ling Ruo obeyed on the surface, but in fact he hated her for meddling in other people's affairs, and was afraid that sooner or later she would tell Yinzhen about her affair with Imperial Doctor Xu. Therefore, after Yinzhen ascended the throne, he used two
The thirteenth brother's life was threatened and he forced her to commit suicide.
Shi Qiuci tried her best to confuse right and wrong in the letter, describing the relationship between her and Rong Yuan in a filthy way. Moreover, this letter contained one more paragraph than the one she intercepted, and the extra paragraph contained
It refers to Hongli’s origin and some of his behaviors and habits are similar to those of Imperial Physician Xu.
In fact, even the appearance is similar between people, not to mention the behavior and habits, but this is the most normal thing, but it is extremely deadly to say it in this letter; not to mention it is at such a time.
It's clear that he wants to kill her!
She raised her head and met Yinzhen's eyes full of hatred and disgust. Before she said a word, tears fell first, big drops falling on the ground, and her heart felt the pain of being pulled together fiercely. She kowtowed hard,
He banged his forehead heavily on the gold brick as smooth as a mirror, "I am innocent of Imperial Physician Xu. Everything Concubine Jing said in the letter is slanderous. Please give me a clear warning from Your Majesty!"
"Slander?" Yinzhen sneered, his voice was sharper and meaner than ever before, it hurt people's ears, "The queen slandered you, your sister slandered you, Concubine Jing slandered you, everyone in the world is slandering you.
I am slandering you, Concubine Xi!"
Ling Ruo was speechless, just crying. She knew in her heart that in this situation, no matter what she said, Yinzhen would not believe it; Nala's and Nian's attacks successively cut off all her ways of survival.
On that side, Nian's eyes were full of joy. After waiting for so many years, it was so happy to finally wait for this day!
Yinzhen looked coldly at her tears that kept falling on the gold bricks. His past pity turned into disgust at this moment. Whenever he thought of the content of the letter, he wanted to kill the shameless woman in front of him.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Yinzhen couldn't restrain the anger that kept welling up in his chest. He smashed an jade pen to the ground and roared: "Niu Hulu Lingruo, you deserve to die!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't hurt the dragon's body for a shameless maid." Upon seeing this, Nian hurriedly stepped forward and softly comforted her, and then said: "Of course Concubine Xi needs to be dealt with, but Brother Si also needs to figure it out.
Yes, if he is really the offspring of Concubine Xi and Imperial Physician Xu, how can he still be the fourth prince of the Qing Dynasty!"
Only by cutting off the roots can you live a life without worries. Once you have done it, do it completely. Without Hongli, Fupei has the opportunity to ascend to the position of prince. As for Hongshi, that mediocre man has nothing but the birth of an eldest son.
no.
The words "Hongli" made Yinzhen have veins on his forehead pulsing. He didn't speak for a while, but his eyes were gradually covered with suspicion. The words in the letter written by Concubine Jing before she died were very exciting, pointing out that Ling Ruo had an affair with Imperial Physician Xu.
jq, and Ling Ruo just now repeatedly interceded for Xu Rongyuan, Hongli...could he really not be his own flesh and blood?
Seeing the suspicion flashing in Yinzhen's eyes, endless fear arose in Ling Ruo's heart. What she was most afraid of was getting involved with Hongli. She kowtowed and said in tears: "I am willing to swear on my own life that Hongli is indeed the emperor."
flesh and blood."
Her oath did not make Yinzhen any less suspicious, and Nian sneered at the side: "To this day, Concubine Xi is still making excuses and swearing, which shows that she has no regrets at all. Besides, Concubine Xi is still making excuses and swearing.
, you deceived the emperor into doing such a shameless thing, do you think the emperor will still believe you?"
"How can she be worthy of becoming Concubine Xi with such virtues?" Yinzhen said coldly. This sentence was tantamount to taking away the position of Concubine Ling Ruoxi. As for whether she should be abolished or demoted, she did not say anything for a while.
When Nian heard this, she felt happy, but Hongli was the most important thing. She immediately said: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the fourth elder brother?"
