Seeing Yinzhen defending Ling Ruo in this way, Nian and Nala were not very happy, but no matter how unhappy they were, they did not dare to show it in front of Yinzhen, so they could only stay silent.
Wu Yashi looked at him for a long time and said in a deep voice: "You are the emperor, and the Ai family shouldn't talk about you, but this matter is really ridiculous. No matter how much you love Concubine Xi, you should never forget the laws of your ancestors.
.”
"Yes, I realize my mistake and ask the Emperor to punish me." Yinzhen responded respectfully.
Seeing that Yinzhen took the blame, Wu Yashi couldn't say anything else. Although she was the queen mother and had an extremely noble status, she was absolutely inferior to Yinzhen when it came to a word of power. If they really wanted to confront each other, they would definitely not be able to do it.
What a good thing, not to mention that there is also a fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen.
Yinzhen returned to the capital in April. As soon as he returned to the capital, he was relieved of his military duties and placed under house arrest in the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion. Unlike other brothers who only changed the name "Yin" to "Yun" when they avoided taboos, both the characters "Yinzhen" were changed.
The emperor gave him the name Yunqi.
Wu Yashi cares most about her youngest son. Now that Yunzhen's life and death are in the hands of Yinzhen, she is also afraid that if she really makes Yinzhen anxious, it will endanger Yunzhen's life. So since the last confrontation, although she
His attitude was cold and honest, but he never had any major conflicts with Yinzhen.
"Since the emperor knows that he was wrong, the Ai family will no longer pursue this matter. However, the emperor should remember this lesson in the future and never do it again in the future." After saying this, Wu Yashi turned his eyes and landed on Ling.
If on the body, indifferent
Then he said: "Concubine Xi, although it was the emperor's intention this time, as a concubine, you made a mistake in not admonishing the emperor. The Ai family will punish you to go back to the palace and copy the palace rules, and submit them to the Ai family for review within three days.
, do you have any opinions?"
Ling Ruo knew clearly that the result was that the Wu Ya clan was particularly merciful to Yinzhen, so she had no other objections and quickly kowtowed: "I thank you, the emperor, for your kindness."
"Thank you, Emperor Eniang, for your kindness." Yinzhen said the same thing. Although the palace rules were long and tiring to copy, they were still better than the endless punishment of kneeling before. After pausing for a while, he said again: "There is one more thing.
I want to report this to the emperor’s mother.”
"What's the matter?" Wu Yashi said, stroking her forehead. After talking for so long, she was already a little nervous.
"It's about Concubine Jing." When he said this, Yinzhen glanced at Nian, which made the latter feel inexplicably uneasy and did not dare to look at her.
Yinzhen's eyes swept across the Nian family, and continued to say to Wu Ya family: "Concubine Nian did submit a letter to me that day, but after carefully identifying it, I did not agree with what Concubine Jing had said before.
The handwriting left behind is slightly different, and someone must have deliberately forged it."
Hearing this, Nian's face changed drastically, and there was unconcealable horror in his brows, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. That letter was indeed given to me by Xiao Chunzi. I can swear to God that there was absolutely nothing in it."
Do anything."
"I didn't tell you." Yinzhen glanced at her and said, "I have found out clearly that it was Xiao Chunzi, a dog slave, who copied Concubine Jing's handwriting and deliberately framed Concubine Xi. I ordered her to be killed with a cane before I came."
"Is there such a thing?" Wu Yashi looked at Yinzhen in confusion. She had never seen Concubine Jing's letter, otherwise she would have been able to identify it.
Yinzhen leaned slightly and said quietly: "Yes, I have found out that it is true. Concubine Xi did not persecute Concubine Jing. It was Concubine Jing who committed suicide because she missed the Emperor Ama too much and was in mourning.
Burial
.As for Concubine Xi’s visit to Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing committed suicide, that’s just a coincidence. I never thought that that bitch slave Xiao Chunzi would use it to frame Concubine Xi, and even Concubine Jing would be used by him.”
Nala's eyes slightly raised, and she said with some doubts: "Excuse me, my concubine said frankly, Xiao Chunzi is just a slave, and has no grudges or hatred with Concubine Xi. Why did he set up such a big trap to frame Concubine Xi? This
It doesn’t do him any good.”
"I think it's because Concubine Xi had scolded him a few times before and held a grudge. I only found out about this when I went to pick up Concubine Xi this time, otherwise I would still have been kept in the dark." Yinzhen replied lightly.
Nala's body trembled slightly, and she looked down at the peony pattern embroidered with dark green silver-mixed silk on her skirt and said nothing.
Wu Yashi took a deep look at Yinzhen and said, "If this is the case, then Concubine Xi is really being wronged. From now on, no one in the palace is allowed to mention Concubine Jing's affairs." Before Yinzhen could speak,
She added: "The Ai family is tired, you all should leave."
"Yes, the Queen is resting well. I will come back another day to pay my respects to the Queen." Following Yinzhen's words, Nala and others also left one after another.
Arriving outside Cining Palace, Yinzhen naturally held Ling Ruo's hand and said with a smile: "I will accompany you back to Chengqian Palace."
In front of the Queen Mother, Yinzhen blindly helped Ling Ruo to speak, which made Nianshi unhappy. Now seeing this scene, she felt even more sour. She couldn't help but said: "The Emperor treats Concubine Xi so well, it's really great."
Make me envious."
When Yinzhen, who had already walked a few steps, heard these words, he stopped and turned around, saying with a slight smile: "If the imperial concubine also goes out of the palace to pray for the Qing Dynasty for half a year, I will treat you so well."
Nian's face turned red and she did not dare to answer. Yinzhen ignored her and turned to Wen Ruyan and Guarjia, "Ruyan, Yun Yue, you can come too."
"Yes." The two of them bowed to express their gratitude and followed Yinzhen's footsteps and left together. After the group of people disappeared, Nian Fang stomped towards Yikun Palace with resentment.
Behind her was Nala, who looked calm as usual. After a long time, she turned around and left step by step, just like when she came. But if you look carefully, you will find that at this time, every step she takes is bigger than usual.
Some.
Suddenly, a cold wind rose from the ground, blowing up her gorgeous and wide skirt, flying like huge wings in this early winter morning.
This kind of calmness lasted until I stepped into Kunning Palace. There was a little eunuch waiting there in the palace courtyard. It was Xiao Ningzi, and he was holding a bird cage in his hand. It was also a brightly colored parrot. Look
When Nala came in, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a flattering look on his face: "This slave pays his respects to the master. Good luck to the master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the parrot in the cage flapped its wings and screamed, "Master, good luck!"
"Where did the parrot come from?" Nala asked with a frown. She had already presented the parrot to the Queen Mother last time, so why did another one come to the palace?
Xiao Ningzi said flatteringly: "Last time, the parrot was sent to Cining Palace. I was afraid that the master would be bored when he was busy. There happened to be a few parrots at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I went to beg for one. This one
The parrot is smarter than the one last time. I only taught it for one day, and it will call the master Jixiang."
