Chapter 727: Who's the Murderer
Both of them fell silent in an instant, in this harem, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Just like they are now, one moment they still want you to die, and the next moment they can stand in one place and unite with the outside.
Concubine De said: "You said that it wouldn't really be the queen's doing, otherwise why would Your Majesty hand over this matter to Ruyihou to deal with?"
In the eyes of Concubine De, although Dong Ruyi is smarter than her peers, she is also a child who is not deep in the world. Such a child wants to be too much worse than this woman who is in the harem and fights all day long.
And the emperor's affection for the queen, she couldn't help but think that the emperor wanted to exonerate the queen.
As for the Dong Chen family, the queen has no relationship with the Dong family, and the only relationship is the acting king's mansion.
Concubine Liu Shu looked at Concubine De, "Do you think Your Majesty wants to calm things down?"
Concubine De was puzzled: "Isn't it?"
Concubine Liu Shufei didn't say anything, because she had no evidence, she just vaguely felt that this matter would not be good. It's really that she has been planted in Dong Ruyi's hands too many times.
Not to mention that the current Dong Ruyi is no longer the daughter of the five-grade official back then, or she didn't please her at the beginning.
It's a pity that this time is different from usual, and the queen's methods can't be as simple as outsiders think. As for the emperor, can the emperor really face the queen as always? She is not sure, feelings are not worth mentioning to those who are in the center of power.
Speaking of Dong Chen, she is an envious, affectionate husband, plus excellent children.
Seeing that Concubine Liu Shufei was silent, Concubine De took the lead in speaking: "Hongjuan is a person in your courtyard, and you don't know her details at all?"
Concubine Liu thought for a while, "Since it comes to Hongjuan, then I will also make a statement, after all, this cooperation must be sincere, right?"
Concubine De looked at Concubine Liu Shu and said in her heart: "She really knows something." ”
Concubine Liu Shu said: "Hongjuan received the favor of Concubine Xian in her early years. ”
Concubine De's eyes widened, and she carefully analyzed: "If this matter is done by Concubine Xian, then you and I will be punished, and she will definitely ascend to the throne." Ha ha... It's a pity that she never thought that His Majesty would have no her in his heart, and what she did would make a wedding dress for others. ”
Concubine Liu shook her head and said, "Whether this matter was done by Concubine Xian or not remains to be verified." ”
Concubine De nodded, when the matter is unclear, it is indeed not easy to say more about this matter. Fortunately, Dong Chen's family did not have three lives, and as far as the current situation is concerned, no one has moved the two of them.
Concubine Liu sat quietly, waiting for Concubine De to make a statement.
Seeing this, Concubine De thought that if she didn't express her position, Concubine Liu Shu might not be willing.
She gritted her teeth and said directly: "Ruyi Hou stayed in the east study during the day. ”
Concubine Liu Shu's shocked appearance made Concubine De very satisfied.
Concubine Liu Shufei got up and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
Concubine De also stood up, "Happy cooperation." ”
***
Dong Ruyi saw Dong Chen's family, and explained the matter of private loans, so he went back to the palace directly.
She looked at the book on the table and said to herself, "Sure enough. "She has already guessed the emperor's intentions, she is a woman, and she is not the emperor's blood, so it is impossible to pass on the throne to her.
But she and King Qing have the same sense of forgetfulness, and in terms of the meaning of the king, it is a sure thing to let her assist.
Since this is the case, she naturally wants to choose someone who is easy to control, she is not King Qing, and she will not repay her grievances with virtue.
Dong Chen's dystocia, she will make rules for this harem!
Dong Ruyi quickly reviewed the recital of the past two days.
She put down the last book in her hand, "Wang Xi, where is Deputy Commander Hu?"
Wang Xi saw that Dong Ruyi was busy and handed over the teacup, "Deputy Commander Hu will be waiting outside when you return to the palace." ”
Dong Ruyi smiled, "Please let him in." ”
Wang Xi should be leaving.
Deputy Commander Hu clasped his fists and said: "Wait a minute, I also ask the prince to say a few good words for the lower officials." ”
Wang Xi said with a smile: "The little marquis is in a good mood, I think it's okay." ”
Deputy Commander Hu was relieved, he entered the east study, and couldn't help but be stunned at first.
This was the first time he had entered the east study, and a table of books made him panic for no reason.
Dong Ruyi put down the teacup.
Wang Xi coughed quietly on the side.
Deputy Commander Hu came back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "The lower officials didn't make Hongjuan an adult, so they came to ask for guilt." ”
Dong Ruyi was not angry, she said lightly: "Where is Hongjuan now?"
Deputy Commander Hu felt a little relieved, and sure enough, as Wang Xi said, the little marquis seemed to be in a good mood. "Hongjuan is in the prison of the Criminal Department at the moment, in order to prevent Hongjuan from being killed, the lower official let the guards watch for twelve hours. ”
Dong Ruyi got up, "Well done, go to the prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Deputy Commander Hu stood up, he and Wang Xi glanced at each other, and then followed.
Wang Xi said in a low voice: "The little marquis wants to be tried, and if he proposes it, it is better not to go to the prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "Don't bother. ”
Wang Xi should be, he looked at Deputy Commander Hu, and then shook his head.
Deputy Commander Hu didn't say anything, he suddenly had a feeling that Ruyi Hou was like His Majesty, and it was so uncertain.
Deputy Commander Hu called a team of guards, and then personally drove Dong Ruyi to the prison of the Criminal Department.
Dong Ruyi's sudden visit made the officials in the prison of the Criminal Department deeply uneasy. If this scares Ruyihou, it will be a head-off.
The prison of the Criminal Department was dark and damp, and all the way forward, except for a few prisoners who did not make a sound, everyone else cried out for grievances.
Dong Ruyi walked in the middle and didn't even glance at it.
The officials on both sides banged on the cell doors on both sides, scolding them to shut up.
The cell leader who led the way wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he didn't dare to look at Dong Ruyi, but kept saying that he was careful about his feet.
When they arrived at Hongjuan's prison, a servant was beating Hongjuan. The guards who were guarding here sat and watched.
When they heard the noise, they both turned their heads to look out.
The guards knelt down and said, "My subordinates knock on Deputy Commander Hu." ”
Deputy Commander Hu said: "This is Ruyihou. ”
The guard hurriedly said, "Knock on Ruyihou." ”
The official on the side knelt on the ground, his head on the ground, and he couldn't say a word nervously.
Dong Ruyi said: "What did she say?"
The guard said: "Back to the Hou Ye, this person's mouth is really hard and tight. She didn't mention her other than saying that it was her own accident. ”
Dong Ruyi waved his hand and motioned for the idlers to leave.
Deputy Commander Hu said, "Let's go and wait outside!"
The guards and the servants all retreated.
Hongjuan raised her head slowly, her voice was weak, "It really has nothing to do with Concubine Shu." ”
Dong Ruyi said lightly: "The palace is already investigating, although you are working in Shufang Palace, but in recent days, you have not been in contact with the people around Concubine Shu, so Concubine Shu is naturally innocent." ”
