Ling Ruo sighed faintly, "One thing comes to another. Besides, I am also a concubine myself. I know very well what losing Hongsheng means to the imperial concubine. She is also pitiful after all."
"Finally..." Yinzhen looked up at the flying geese and said inaudibly: "This is her retribution, retribution for the wrong things she has done over the years."
Ling Ruo heard this, but didn't say anything. Ever since Yinzhen decided to deal with Nian Gengyao, the Nian family was in danger, but at that time she still had Hongsheng, and Yinzhen always valued his children, Hongsheng.
It was enough to keep the Nian family alive, but it was a pity that even Hong Sheng was dead now, and there was no room for change.
After sending Yinzhen out, Mo'er supported Ling Ruo and said in confusion: "Master, Concubine Nian did that to you before and hunted you down. Why do you want the emperor to see her more? Yi Nunu said, that's it.
Let her fall out of favor and see how she can still dominate."
"What do you know?" Ling Ruo scolded lightly and then said: "Actually, the result is the same regardless of whether I persuade you or not. All that awaits Nian is death. I am just doing a favor now. Do you really think that?
If I give you a casual word of advice, the Emperor will show more sympathy to Nian."
Only then did Mo'er realize what he was doing, and said with a complacent smile: "My master has a long-term plan, how can I, this slave, think about Zhou Xiang like my master?"
"You, you are becoming more and more glib." Ling Ruo tapped Mo'er's forehead, suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "Mo'er, let people prepare their companions, while it is still early, I,
I want to go to the Sentence Department."
"Secretary of Shenxing?" Yang Hai, who was silent, suddenly said in surprise: "Master wants to see Imperial Physician Jin. Isn't it inappropriate to go there at this time?"
Ling Ruo stroked his forehead and said a little tiredly: "If it's not appropriate, I have to go. I'm worried that someone is controlling Dr. Jin and something will happen again."
The surprise in Yang Hai's eyes became more intense, "Didn't Master say that Imperial Physician Jin was unjustly accused? How could he..."
"Just because they are unjustly accused, we have to guard against it. Do you think there will be people who are not afraid of being cut into pieces?" As soon as Ling Ruo asked, Yang Hai and Mo'er shook their heads together. This kind of punishment of cutting people's flesh with one knife is really real.
It's so terrifying that just thinking about it makes my whole body ache. No wonder it is listed as the top torture method and is not used lightly unless it is the most heinous person.
Ling Ruo asked with twinkling eyes: "That's it. If someone tells Imperial Physician Jin at this time, he can be exempted from this punishment. He only needs to wrongly accuse an unrelated person. What do you think he will do?"
Mo'er lowered his head and bit his finger and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, if I were replaced by Dr. Jin, I would not hesitate to wrong others, because the punishment would be too horrific, enough to make people lose all their courage and courage."
belief."
"That's right, even if Imperial Physician Jin is an upright person, he may not be able to stick to his principles in the face of endless torture; not to mention that we don't understand Imperial Physician Jin at all." With that said, Ling Ruo waved her hand and said: "Go ahead.
, prepare the shoulder carriage."
After Mo'er walked away, Yang Hai asked in a low voice: "Master, are you worried that someone will instruct Imperial Physician Jin to bite you and Fourth Brother again?" Needless to say, the person in Yang Hai's mouth is undoubtedly the queen, and she is the only one who can.
He would come up with such a cruel and vicious plan.
"No, I and Fourth Brother have already passed through the gate of hell. If you want to slander me again, it would be a bit deliberate. The emperor may not believe it; I am worried that she will attack someone close to me." Ling Ruobuwu.
She said worriedly, and there was another sentence that Ling Ruo hadn't said, which was that the first person the queen wanted to deal with at the moment was probably Wen Ruyan, who had been disrespectful to her.
Setting up a trap quietly has always been what the Queen is good at. Once the trap is set, it is difficult to break it, so it is necessary to break the trap before setting it up.
Before it got dark, Ling Ruo's shoulder cart stopped at the door of the Shenxing Department. I wonder if it was because of the shift change. There was no eunuch guarding the door outside. Ling Ruo glanced at it without saying anything, and got off the shoulder cart and supported Yang Hai.
Walk in with your hands.
Hong Quan is the manager of the Criminal Punishment Department. He is nearly fifty years old and is happily sipping wine in the room. From time to time he pops a fried peanut into his mouth. This is one of the few moments of fun he has.
.
Hong Quan inadvertently raised his eyes and saw someone coming in. Because the Secretary of Shen Xing never lit too many lights, and because he was old and dazzled, he couldn't see clearly. It wasn't until the person came closer that he recognized who it was.
He quickly put down his glass of wine and greeted Daqian, "Slave Hong Quan, I wish you good luck to Concubine Xi."
Ling Ruo raised her hand and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hong, there is no need to be polite, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hong Quan stood up uneasily, glanced at me and asked, "I wonder if your Majesty came here at night, what are your orders?"
Ling Ruo said casually: "It's okay, I just come and take a walk when I have nothing to do."
Hong Quan smiled apologetically and said nothing, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart. The Division of Shenxing was not a royal garden, so how could he come here just by walking around casually? However, Ling Ruo didn't say anything, and he, a slave, couldn't ask more questions.
Ling Ruo walked to the table, picked up the wine glass that Hong Quan hadn't had time to drink, put it under his nose and sniffed it, nodded and said: "Well, the fragrance is mellow and the color is magnificent. It is specially prepared for the palace by Heniantang in the capital.
Health-preserving wine, also known as crane year tribute wine
, Eunuch Hong is really good at drinking." She glanced at Hong Quanman, who was starting to feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "I remember that not many people rewarded this wine, and the Shenxing Division... didn't seem to have rewarded it.
, I wonder where my father-in-law got the wine?"
Hong Quan secretly complained. He didn't expect Ling Ruo's nose to be so sharp. He could tell it was the Crane Year Tribute Wine just by smelling it. Alas, if he had known this, he wouldn't have been greedy and took it out just now.
Thinking of this, Hong Quan forced a smile and said softly: "To tell you back to your Majesty, it's... it's... the last time I saw Eunuch Su, Eunuch Su gave me such a small amount, and I was reluctant to drink it.
"Su Peisheng is Yinzhen's personal eunuch, and the rewards are always the first in the palace. It's natural to get some tribute wine. Hong Quan really couldn't think of a good explanation, so he simply pushed the matter to Su Peisheng.
"Eunuch Su?" Ling Ruo narrowed her eyes and said directly without waiting for Hong Quan to say anything else: "Yang Hai, go to Eunuch Su and ask if he has sent a bottle of He Nian tribute wine to Eunuch Hong. Go quickly.
Come back, I will wait here for your reply."
Hong Quan didn't expect Ling Ruo to be so serious, and was immediately frightened out of his mind. This was all nonsense. If he really wanted to ask Su Peisheng, he would have to betray him all of a sudden. From the looks of it, Concubine Xi clearly doubted the origin of his wine.
It's impossible not to tell the truth.
"Eunuch Yang, I'm ashamed." He quickly called Yang Hai, knelt down with an old face full of wrinkles and said, "Please forgive me, this wine... is actually not rewarded by Eunuch Su, but... but...
It was given by Doctor Liu."
"Mr. Liu?" This time, Ling Ruo's tone was a little more surprised. She stared at him closely and said, "Mr. Liu is here? Why did he give you wine?"
