Chapter five hundred and eleventh unwilling to return
"Who are those people?" Since Li Wei and the others were sent by Yinzhen, the identity of the previous group of men in black needs to be considered.
Liu Hu hurriedly replied: "I don't know yet, but I have sent people to investigate. Please believe me, madam, that I have absolutely no intention of killing my wife. When the slaves and others came out, the master gave me many instructions, and I must do it."
Bring your wife back safely, there is no room for error."
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, Li Wei also followed up and said: "Master, Liu Hu did not lie. This is indeed what the master ordered." Now that they were outside the palace, they did not dare to expose Ling Ruo's identity rashly, and they only addressed themselves as the master and his wife.
.
"I understand." After a long silence, a voice sounded in the hot summer wind.
Li Wei, Liu Hu and others all looked at Ling Ruo eagerly, but she just said this and became silent again. Liu Hu felt slightly anxious and couldn't help but lightly poked Li Wei with his elbow, asking him to follow quickly.
Concubine Xi talked about returning to the palace. The latter
I understand, but he has been with Ling Ruo for many years, and he knows how to guess Ling Ruo's thoughts better than Liu Hu. He feels that it is not appropriate to mention this at this moment, so he changed his words and said: "Master is tired from traveling all the way, so why not go back to the inn to rest first?"
how?"
Ling Ruo nodded slightly, turned around and said to Shi Sheng and Xuan'er who looked confused: "Let's go back to the inn. There shouldn't be any danger."
After returning to the inn, Shi Sheng and Shi Sheng were stunned by Li Wei's move. They actually booked the entire inn. However, they did not forcibly evict the people. They just invited the residents to stay in other inns at double the price.
People would push away the money brought to them, and they would happily accept the money and leave the inn.
All of them were extremely skilled and generous, but they claimed to be Miss Ling's slaves. Who was Miss Ling? For the first time, Shi Sheng became curious about the woman he rescued.
After welcoming Ling Ruo to a superior guest room alone, Li Wei and Liu Hu met again and said, "Slaves, please pay your respects to Concubine Xi. May your concubine be blessed with peace of mind."
"I am no longer the empress of the palace. You don't have to pay such a courtesy, and I will not go back with you." Ling Ruo looked at the two people kneeling in front of him and said calmly. That day, in the south study room, Yin
Zhen Qian was angry at her plea to Rong Yuan and deprived her of her position himself. Coupled with the massacre in Tongzhou and Rong Yuan's death, she would no longer regard herself as Yin no matter whether the decree to depose the throne was spread to the Sixth Palace or not.
Zhen's concubine.
Concubine Xi had already died in Tongzhou...
When Liu Hu heard this, he immediately became anxious. Hasn't this misunderstanding been resolved? Why is the empress still unwilling to go back with them? If she doesn't come back, how can he and others report to the emperor?
"Master, the massacre in Tongzhou was not the emperor's will." Li Wei suddenly said this, making Ling Ruo confused. Even Liu Hu was stunned. He was only ordered to find the missing Concubine Xi. Regarding what happened in Tongzhou,
Not sure.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Ling Ruo suddenly grabbed the armrest with both hands, her expression nervous but also filled with a hint of hope. She had not experienced this kind of thing called hope for a long time.
"This matter was told to the slaves by Eunuch Xi when he came to convey the decree. After the empress went to Tongzhou that day, the emperor was really furious and ordered the commander of the firearms battalion to mobilize all the artillery to bombard Tongzhou City. However, before the bombardment, the emperor changed his mind.
withdraw
Returned to the Firearms Camp and ordered them to enter Tongzhou City to find their master. However, when everyone in the Firearms Camp entered, they found that Tongzhou had become a dead city. All the people inside were killed with sharp blades. Only Doctor Xu survived.
.”
"Doctor Xu is still alive?" Hearing Li Wei's last words, joy suddenly flashed through Ling Ruo's mind like lightning, her voice was trembling, and she was eager to get more precise news from Li Wei.
"Yes, Imperial Physician Xu is not dead. I heard from Eunuch Xi that Imperial Physician Xu used silver needles to seal the major points around his body, so although he was seriously injured, his life was saved. However, when Imperial Physician Xu woke up, he could not remember anything that happened before.
, the imperial doctor said it was because he injured his head before. As for when the imperial physician Xu will be able to remember it, and how much he can remember, it is unknown."
Rong Yuan...he is not dead, he is really not dead!
The next moment, endless transparent liquid gushes out of her eyes, turning into tears and falling on the ground. But this time, they fell out of joy. The person she has most sorry for in her life is Rong Yuan, and she has no regrets in the past thirty years.
When Tongzhou was being hunted, he rescued her and was surrounded. I thought that I would have to carry this burden for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, God opened my eyes and Rong Yuan did not die. Although he lost his memory, there is nothing else that can compare.
Is life more important?
"Master, what I said is true. It is indeed not the emperor who wants to kill you. During the days when you were not in the palace, the emperor only said that you left the palace to pray for the Qing Dynasty."
"I know." Ling Ruo slowly stopped crying and said, "But, he didn't kill me, but he had murderous intentions, right?"
This question left Li Wei speechless. Yes, if Yinzhen had never had murderous intentions, he would not have mobilized a firearms battalion to besiege Tongzhou after Ling Ruo went to Tongzhou, and could not change his mind before firing the cannon.
Looking at Li Wei who was speechless, Ling Ruo took a deep breath and said word for word: "I have understood the matter clearly. I will not misunderstand him again in the future, but similarly, I will not return to the palace again."
"Master..." Upon hearing this, not only Liu Hu, but also Li Wei became anxious.
"Li Wei, you walked away from me. You should know what my temperament is like. Now that you have said it, you will not change it. I am very grateful to the emperor for sparing my life, but..." She did not continue.
However, there is endless sadness flowing in his eyes.
Yinzhen never believed her. This time, he let her go, but what about next time? What about the next time? Will Yinzhen let her go?
Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. This sentence is not only said to the ministers, but also to the countless concubines in the harem.
She was chilled, really chilled, and was afraid that it would happen again in the future. By then, she didn't know if she still had the courage to face it, or if she would be driven crazy.
"Master, I know how sad you are, but it is the emperor's order to let you go back. If you don't return to the palace, wouldn't you be disobeying the order? Besides, there is also the fourth elder brother who is waiting for you day and night in the palace." Li Wei was anxious.
Then, Hongli was moved out.
Hongli...Ling Ruo looked up at the beams on the top, her eyes showing incomparable nostalgia. The only thing in the palace that she couldn't let go of was Hongli.
"Is he okay?" she asked, her words soft and kind.
Li Wei cheered up and hurriedly replied: "Everything is fine with Brother Si, but he misses his master very much and looks forward to his return day and night."
"Go back..." Ling Ruo smiled sadly, shook his head and said, "I won't go back."
Li Wei obviously didn't expect such an answer. When he heard Ling Ruo ask about Fourth Elder Brother before, he thought her attitude had softened, but it turned out to be the same, "Master, don't you want to see Fourth Elder Brother?"
"There is no reason in the world for a mother-in-law not to want to see her own child. Is it really good for me to go back? Li Wei, you should know very well what kind of place the harem is. A single move there can affect the whole body. This time the emperor has
I still have some lingering feelings, so I won’t implicate Hongli. What about next time? Li Wei, tell me, this will happen next time
Are you lucky?" she asked, with a sad and sad look on her face. Her fingertips hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but tremble. She lowered her head and said to Li Wei, who was bowing his head and said nothing: "Instead of causing trouble for Hongli in the future, it would be better to never return to the palace. This way
, the emperor may still show mercy to Hongli. Didn’t the emperor announce to the outside world that I went out of the palace to pray for blessings? Then let this become a reality."
She has been completely disappointed in Yinzhen. If the relationship of nineteen years still cannot be exchanged for the rest of her life, then what else is worth praying for?
In this life, I have finally paid for it wrongly...
