"That's right. Besides, if we need to protect each other, my sister may not be able to afford the price." Guarjia also supported her.
"When did you two become so snobbish? Do sisters still need to negotiate prices?" Regarding their rejection, Wen Ruyan was not only not angry, but rather moved, and followed their words.
"Brothers have already settled the accounts, but my sister can't even think of asking us to do such a loss-making business." As he said this, a trace of transparency appeared in Ling Ruo's eyes.
Wen Ruyan has been sisters for many years, how could Wen Ruyan fail to see what they really mean, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, isn't it okay? I made so many comments from you with just one casual sentence, it's really unjust."
"Just admit your mistake." Ling Ruo calmed down the sadness in her heart, but she still refused to forgive, "But you are not allowed to say these words from now on. We have agreed that we will be sisters for life, and we are not allowed to violate any of them.
oath."
Wen Ruyan glanced at her, feeling unusually happy, "Does this mean we are on a pirate ship?"
Guarjia pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What's the point? You have been tied to this pirate ship a long time ago, and you will never think of jumping off in this life."
"Yes, yes, even if you chase me away, I won't get off the boat." After saying this, Wen Ruyan couldn't help laughing, her heart was filled with warm feelings, and she couldn't say anything.
Guarjia took a sip of tea and said: "Just now, my sister said that it was a pity that the queen was not defeated. I think that if the queen was defeated so easily, she would not be the queen who has been fighting with us for more than 20 years."
"Hmph, that sinister woman who talks nonsense." As soon as Wen Ruyan mentioned this, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she slapped the huanghuali small table with her palm, "Obviously she has made so many bamboo pens, but it squeaks.
She refused to take it out directly, which made me think I could catch her and suffer the humiliation in vain."
"If you don't suffer some grievances first, how can you make the emperor feel guilty and pity? After this incident, the importance of our queen in the emperor's heart has been greatly increased. Perhaps, from the beginning, she has already planned this."
Erjia is the calmest among them, and her analysis is also the most pertinent.
"The Queen's thoughts are really unfathomable, she is like a prophet who predicts the future." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, his beautiful eyebrows wrinkled and he said slowly: "Why do I feel that this matter... seems to have been planned by the Queen."
Wen Ruyan was horrified and said in amazement: "Are you saying that the queen killed Third Brother? But it has been proven that Sanfu went to the bamboo forest to climb branches and make bamboo pens instead of poisoning."
"Really?" Ling Ruo flicked her nails and said with a serious smile: "The box of bamboo pens can only prove that Sanfu did climb the bamboo branches, but it cannot prove that he has not poisoned him.
"
Guarjia thought about it carefully and then reacted, "Are you saying that the bamboo pen is just a cover-up, and the real purpose is to poison?"
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "That's right, but we, including the emperor, all took it for granted before, thinking that since there was a bamboo pen as proof, Sanfu's trip to the bamboo forest was not for poisoning."
Wen Ruyan thought for a while and said: "Although I also think the queen is the most suspicious, she was always with us when the third elder brother died. In addition, I also noticed that her close friends were always there and never went out.
, how could she kill the third elder brother?"
"This..." Ling Ruo couldn't think of a good answer for a while, so Guarjia said: "Don't forget what Third Brother said before he was killed by Doctor Jin. He said he knew the murderer, but he still regretted it.
I didn’t say it before.”
"So what?" Wen Ruyan and Ling Ruo both asked in confusion.
"After Third Elder Brother was revived by Doctor Xu, he hesitated to speak. Perhaps he wanted to talk about the murderer. It happened that the Queen went up to wipe Third Elder Brother's sweat. Maybe at that time, she threatened Third Elder.
Brother." Guarjia said while thinking: "The third elder brother is still young, what is his mind?
The old fox like the Queen was probably intimidated by her words, so he didn't dare to tell the truth. After we left, he came back to his senses and felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly came to see us, but unfortunately he was beaten by Jin
The imperial doctor plotted to kill him. Also, the imperial physician Jin was appointed by the queen to stay and take care of the third elder brother."
"So, Doctor Jin was under the orders of the empress? If he can testify against the empress, wouldn't it be possible to prove that she harmed the third elder brother?" Speaking of this, Wen Ruyan felt a little excited.
"How is it possible?" Guarjia was hit by a plate of cold water. "When did my sister see the queen being betrayed by her subordinates? Her method of controlling people is very clever. It is also possible that Imperial Physician Jin is in the Shenxing Department.
will be silenced.”
Wen Ruyan didn't want to give up and thought: "Then let's try to save Imperial Physician Jin's life. I don't believe that there are people who would rather be cut into pieces than tell the truth."
Guarjia shook his head and said: "Well... I really can't say, but I always feel that there is little hope."
"No matter how old it is, you have to try it before you know it. How about we go to the Shenxing Department right now. What do you think, sister? Sister?" Wen Ruyan pushed Ling Ruo, who was bowing his head in silence, and said strangely:
"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
Ling Ruoqing sighed and said, "Nothing, what did sister ask me just now?"
Wen Ruyan said helplessly: "You can be distracted at this time. I really don't know what to say. Just now, Sister Yun said that we can start with Dr. Jin, so I want to go to the Shenxing Department. I wonder if you would like to go with me.
.”
To Wen Ruyan's surprise, Ling Ruo actually declined and said, "I still have something to do. Sister, you go ahead. We will discuss it in detail later."
An accident was an accident. Wen Ruyan did not force it. After giving a warning, she and the Guarjia family went to the Shenxing Department. After they disappeared, Ling Ruofang said to Shuixiu and others who were following closely: "Go back.
palace!"
"Yes." Shui Xiu agreed and stepped forward to hold Ling Ruo's hand. The moment the fingers came into contact, she felt that her master's fingers were frighteningly cold. She couldn't help but take a sneak peek and noticed that Ling Ruo's expression was frighteningly cold. She quickly lowered her head.
Staring at his toes, not daring to take another look.
The whole journey was silent. As soon as they arrived at Chengqian Palace, Yang Hai came up to him and whispered: "Master, Doctor Liu is here and is waiting in the side hall."
"He came too soon." Ling Ruo sneered and said, "Take me to see him."
"Yes." Yang Hai agreed and bowed to lead the way. The news of Hong Sheng's death had spread throughout the harem. Most of them, the palace people, had heard something about what happened in Yikun Palace, but it was only vague.
I wanted to ask Shuixiu clearly, but because of the master's presence, I didn't dare to say anything.
