In the inner hall, Feicui was serving Nala Shi and took a rest. When they saw Hong Shi coming in, they were all startled. Nala wanted to scold him, but after thinking of what happened before, he endured it and said instead: "Hong Shi."
Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown? Why are you still here?"
Hongshi looked at her steadily, his face gradually distorted under the candlelight that had not been extinguished, and he seemed to have a feeling of fragmentation. In an unreasonable panic, Nala heard Hongshi's voice, "I understand, I know.
I know everything."
Nala's face suddenly turned pale, and she forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? Why does the Queen's mother become more and more confused the more she listens to it? Do you understand anything?"
"Is the Queen still pretending to be confused now? The reason why I didn't return home is because I went to see Empress Xi. She knew everything about what the Emperor did and she told her everything.
My son." The words that have been thought about in my mind are flowing from my mouth.
The words popped out one by one. He was testing Nala. Only when she thought she knew everything, would she tell the real truth out of shock, but he still hoped that the truth was not his.
It's like I thought, otherwise...
"Are you looking for Concubine Xi?!" Nala's voice sounded like someone was strangling her neck. The sharp harshness sounded a bit scary in this quiet night. When Hongshi didn't speak, she couldn't sit still anymore and held her hand.
Jade's arm stood up and shouted: "Do you remember what I told you? Why are you so disobedient?"
Hongshi looked at Nala's slightly flustered expression coldly, and his heart could not help but sink, "If the Queen's mother has no evil intentions in her heart, why is she afraid that her son will go to see Concubine Xi?"
"Who said I have something evil in my heart? I just don't want you to be taken advantage of by Concubine Xi. That woman is the best at stirring up trouble and sowing dissension." Nala retorted Hongshi's words and felt that her fingers were a little uncontrollable.
trembling, and quickly tightened it hard.
Jade could feel the hand on her arm tightening, and her nails were pinching her hard through the sleeves. It hurt a little, but she didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't dare to show even the slightest bit of strangeness, so she just kept silent.
Standing aside.
"My son is no longer a three-year-old child. He can distinguish truth from falsehood. Huang'e Niang is right. It really has nothing to do with Lanling, because Huang'e Niang is the mastermind behind the scenes. You bribed this servant.
, you let people put the red flowers, and you let people kill Jiamo and the child." Even though they were probing words, there was still a hint of choking in Hongshi's voice. He was scared, really scared.
After listening to Hongshi's words, Nala's complexion suddenly turned pale and transparent, and you could even see the slightly squirming veins under the skin. He stared at Hongshi for a long time, and then trembled and said, "Don't listen to Concubine Xi's nonsense, I am.
palace……"
"How is the Queen?" Hongshi interrupted her with a sarcastic expression, and squeezed Nala's hand that was resting on Jade's arm. The knuckles turned a strange gray-white color, and the skin under Jade's sleeve was already white.
There was a bruise, and the sarcasm on Hongshi's face deepened when he saw this, "If the Queen is really innocent, why are you so nervous?"
Nala was left speechless by his question, and she took her hands back behind her back. This was the first time in so many years that she was so nervous and scared. Hongshi's expression didn't look like he was faking. Did Concubine Xi really know something?
How could this happen? There were obviously very few people who knew about this matter, and Sanfu was always cautious in doing things. How did she get caught? Or maybe there was her spy in the palace?
There were a lot of speculations for a while, but this was not the main thing. The most important thing was Hongshi. At this moment, he was like a time bomb that would explode at any time. If this matter got to Yinzhen, then she...
Thinking of this, Nala could no longer suppress the fear in her heart. Her hands were shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. No matter how hard she tried, she could not control it.
Seeing this, Hongshi still had no reason to understand. The endless sadness was like an overwhelming giant wave that drowned him. Before today, he never dreamed that the murderer he wanted to catch would actually be the one who raised him.
My mother was probably too shocked and grieved, and there were bursts of tearing pain in her body, especially in her abdomen, as if something was twisting.
"Why? Why are you doing this?" He roared loudly, with a ferocious expression as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Because she deserves to die!" Under Hongshi's questioning, Nara finally raised his head and looked back at him with the same ferocious expression. All his face was torn apart at this moment, leaving no room for error, "You are my son,
I have raised you for eighteen years. During these eighteen years, you have
I have always been obedient, but as soon as Suochuo Luo Jiamo appeared, she changed. First she was unwilling to marry Lan Ling, and then she was always against me. In the end, she didn't even care about the life or death of your emperor, Ama. This woman is too much.
She is too terrible, so I must get rid of her!"
When he heard Nala's confession with his own ears, Hongshi felt like there were countless thunderous explosions above his head, hitting him completely. He just stood there in a daze, letting time pass between them. Suddenly, he laughed,
Laughing loudly, it startled the birds that were perched on the trees at night, and flew away with flapping wings in panic.
In such a smile, there are sad tears falling continuously, drop by drop, like rain falling from the sky, but this rain only covers Hongshi alone...
Nala watched numbly as he laughed wildly in front of her. That terrifying smile made Hongshi look like a ghost. The candlelight kept swaying in the night wind blowing in from the window, flickering brightly and dimly.
There was a feeling that it would go out at any time. Finally, a candle was blown out. Jade quickly went up and closed the window, and then relit the candle.
At the moment when the candle wick was lit again, Hongshi slowly suppressed his laughter, and slowly passed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, wiping away the remaining tears, "Empress Huang, are you finally willing to tell the truth? Are you finally willing to admit it?
Did you kill Jiamo and the child?"
"You..." Nala looked at him in shock, as if he had seen a ghost, and said incoherently, "You just... just now..."
In her eyes, Hongshi slowly shook his head, "Er Chen did go to see Concubine Xi, but she just made a guess without evidence. Those words just now were just used by Er Chen to test the emperor's mother. I didn't expect that she would still
It's really useful." The words paused, and when they sounded again, they were filled with endless sharpness, "Why, why?
Why are you so cruel? Those are your grandchildren and your daughter-in-law. Just because you think they are in your way, just because you think your sons and daughters don't listen to you, so you kill them cruelly? Yours
What is the heart made of?" The pain in his belly became more obvious, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
