"Have you found out that person's identity?" Yinzhen asked in a deep voice, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Although it has been a long time, after careful investigation by the servant, I still found out the identity. He said that the man was unfamiliar and had a high-pitched voice. The servant guessed that he must be a father-in-law. After going to Liu's house to inquire, the servant's guess was confirmed. The Liu family
People say his surname is Yang, and he is..." The secret agent seemed a little at a loss for what to say, and just kept looking at Yinzhen, who said impatiently: "Keep talking."
The secret agent agreed and said solemnly: "The father-in-law who went to redeem the silver was named Yang, and he claimed to be sent by Concubine Xi."
Ling Ruo? Yinzhen was stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would be related to Ling Ruo. Could it be that Hong Sheng's death was related to her? As soon as this thought appeared, Yinzhen forced himself to erase it, although Ling Ruo had offended her more than once.
He, but he believed that Ling Ruo would never be a cruel person.
And if all these things were done by Ling Ruo's envoy Liu Hua, she would not intercede on behalf of Imperial Physician Jin's family, nor would she eavesdrop on the conversation between Liu Hua and Jin Mingze in the dark room.
He always felt that behind these things that had surfaced, there were still many unknown things hidden. Pressing these thoughts, he asked again: "What else?"
"Also, Imperial Physician Liu's family is quite well-off during this period. He has been looking at a new house recently. It seems that he has plans to buy a new house. He has also deposited one thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver in the bank account in the name of Imperial Physician Liu's younger brother.
It is equivalent to the salary of Imperial Physician Liu who has been deprived of food and water for nine years." If Liu Hua were present and heard the spies' words, he would be frightened out of his wits. Even his bank account would be inquired about, and there would be no secret at all.
Yinzhen turned around and walked up the steps, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "So it seems that Liu Hua is the really suspicious person?"
"Yes." When he said this word, the spy's eyes flashed. In fact, he not only suspected Liu Hua, but also suspected Concubine Xi. However, the emperor had already told him not to stare at Concubine Xi, so the following sentence was not good either.
Say it again.
"Continue to keep an eye on Liu Hua for me. I will remember exactly where he has been and what he has done. I want to see what kind of person he is!"
"Slave, take your orders!" After the spy agreed, Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "Step back."
"Yes." With this word, the ever-bright candle dimmed again. When it returned to normal, the spy was no longer in the palace, and only Yinzhen was left.
Feeling the silence that had enveloped him again, Yinzhen strolled to the window. Through the window, he could see the bright moon and stars in the night sky. In the past, as long as he saw the stars in the night sky, his heart would calm down. But now,
It's always so peaceful.
Ruo'er, I am willing to believe in you, but I just hope that you will never betray my trust, and never have anything to do with Hong Sheng's death, otherwise you will personally ruin the future between me and you.
After returning to Shuiyixuan, Mrs. Shumulu changed her clothes and went to bed. When she woke up, the sky was already turning white. She didn't expect that she would sleep so deeply. She didn't wake up once in the middle. She stroked her face and called out: "
Like a willow! Like a willow!"
When she called her for the second time, Ru Liu came in from outside holding a copper basin. She first put the copper basin on the shelf, then helped Shu Mululu stand up and put the embroidered shoes on her slender feet.
Then he said: "Master, please cleanse your face first."
Mr. Shumulus nodded, held her hand and walked to the copper basin. There were bright red rose petals floating in the copper basin filled with water. The fragrance of the flowers was strong and refreshing.
After cleaning her face, she moved to sit in front of the bronze mirror. From the bronze mirror, Mrs. Shumulu saw Ruliu, who was combing her hair, looking hesitant to speak, and said one by one: "But you have something to say to me.
explain?"
Ru Liu paused the ivory comb in his hand and said softly: "Master, Aunt Yingchun is here and is waiting for you."
Following his words, the lightness on Mrs. Shumulu's face slowly disappeared. She lowered her head, picked up a pearl hairpin from her makeup box and said, "Didn't you tell her that I didn't sleep with you last night?"
"My slave said it, but Aunt Yingchun doesn't seem to believe it." After saying this, Ru Liuhu squatted in front of Shu Mulu and asked with a sad expression: "Master, will this always happen in the future?"
Shu Mulu's face turned pale, and then he put the pearl hairpin in his hand on the willow bun, looked at it and said: "This hairpin looks very good on you, I'll give it to you."
Ru Liu shook his head, took off the hairpin and put it back into Shu Mulu's hand, "I don't want any hairpin, I just want the master to be happy."
"Silly girl, am I not happy now? The emperor is very kind to me and makes me a noble person. The queen treats me very well and rewards me every now and then." She smiled, but no matter how she concealed it, her smile remained.
Seemingly pale and helpless.
"No!" Ru Liu's head shook like a wavy drum, "The emperor may really care about the master, but the queen does not, otherwise she would not ask Yingchun to deliver medicine after the master goes to bed every day, and the queen would not allow it.
The master has his own heirs."
"But without the Queen, I would still be bullied by Hui Qiu and those servants. Every gain must come with a loss, and one cannot be too greedy." With that said, Mrs. Shumulu inserted the pearl hairpin into her willow hair again.
, "You should keep what I reward you well. When you get married in the future, you will be looked down upon without a decent dowry."
Ruliu hesitated for a moment and said, "Slave, please stay with your master from now on, okay?"
"Are you going to grow old alone in the palace with me?" Mrs. Shumulu said, stroking Ruliu's face distressedly: "I know you don't like the life in the palace. If you stay here reluctantly, you will only be unhappy. You are a good girl, you should have
Well rewarded."
"But the slave is gone, and the master doesn't have a caring person beside him." Although they had not been together for a short time, Ru Liu and Shu Mulu had become extremely close to each other.
"You're such a silly girl. You're not leaving tomorrow. There are still many years left, long enough for me to slowly choose someone to replace you." Mrs. Shumululu sighed softly and said, "In the palace, you and I are like relatives.
I only hope that you will have many children in the rest of your life and have a good life."
Ruliu lay silently between Shu Mulu's knees. She really felt sorry for her master, but she was just an insignificant servant. Apart from serving her master well, she could not do anything else.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then Yushan's voice came in, as soft and soft as her name, "Master."
Shu Mulu closed his eyes to calm down, and then asked Fang Yang, "What's the matter?"
Yushan hurriedly said: "Master, Aunt Yingchun asked you if you are well. She hurried to tell the queen your order."
Always, there is no escape...
Mrs. Shumulu endured the reluctance and helplessness in her heart and said: "I know, go and tell Aunt Yingchun that I will come immediately."
