Chapter 31: The Truth

I don't know what kind of mood I have at all, I walked out of the inner room of the Kunhe Palace, Yan Lie stepped out of the high threshold, I only felt that my legs were soft, and every step seemed to be stepping on cotton, and I didn't feel any strength, and I stumbled under my feet in a trance, and I was about to fall down when I saw it

"Your Majesty" Su Jin, who had been guarding the door, quickly grabbed him, but Rao was still shocked by this, and he was still shocked into a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" Although he knows a little bit about the past that can be described as a secret story of the palace, and he also understands that the unveiling of scars is always accompanied by severe pain, but just looking at his master's appearance at this time, his heart unconsciously beat a drum: Is what happened to Ning Guifei so unbearable, can it actually make him calm and self-controlled, Even if he knew that he was highly poisonous, he was calm and calm, and the flames were out of normality, would this be too strict

"It's okay, let's go back to the palace" broke free from his support, Yan Lie's eyes were completely unfocused at the moment, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and even walked with a kind of sleepwalking-like trance, and Su Jin really felt uneasy in his eyes

Almost without too much hesitation, he casually beckoned a small eunuch nearby, whispered a few words, and then didn't care about it any longer, stopped, pulled his legs, and chased in the direction where Yan Lie left, although the palace was heavily guarded, and it was unlikely that there would be too many accidents, but the emperor was so out of state now, if something happened, he was afraid that he would be to blame

And the little eunuch who was only on duty outside the Kunhe Palace, seeing that he had such a rare opportunity to get acquainted with the emperor, how could the people around him not do things obediently, and now after seeing the master and servant leave, he slipped away in the other direction, and the speed was not at all like the lazy appearance of errands on weekdays

Along the way, he almost walked back to the dormitory with Yan Lie, looking at the monarch of a country who just sat motionless next to the table after entering the inner room, Su Jin still couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, it seems that he really underestimated the weight of Ning Guifei in the hearts of his master, otherwise, even if the truth of the facts is too hurtful, it won't be able to slow down for so long

"Did you already know what happened to Su Jin back then," probably because of his sigh that affected the people at the table, just when he was still thinking about how to persuade one or two, Yan Lie in the other side of the room had slowly raised his head, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, why do you have to remind me to go to the queen and ask at such a critical moment?" In fact, this is an extremely obvious thing, but he was distracted by Shen Yan's words before, and he didn't have any extra thoughts to care about it at all

This is the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and there was no too much surprise, and immediately smiled bitterly and stepped forward: "It doesn't matter if the slave knows or not, the important thing is that the emperor, you did get the answer you wanted from the queen's mother," but this is enough, and the others are not in his concerns

Pulling the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely reluctant smile, his fierce eyes gradually thickened, showing a completely different and depressed temperament from before: "The answer is yes, but it is so many years late" He has been thinking since the beginning, if he had known earlier, would the current situation have become completely different

"The emperor is blaming the slave for not telling you as soon as he knew," Anyway, he is also the old man next to Yan Lie, and Su Jin is naturally thoughtful and thorough about his master's thoughts, so he simply did not avoid it, and pointed out the topic directly

Although it is better to say that some things are hidden from the master, but since they have been spread out now, it is not good to cover them up again, on the contrary, it is possible to get back one percent by retreating, so this choice is actually not any difficulty for him

"You still know," snorted coldly, because of Su Jin's calm and unhurried attitude, Yan still couldn't really get angry in the end

He knows better than anyone else how his inner servant is, if it comes to his loyalty, Cheng Dù and affection, I am afraid that there is no such person in the entire imperial city who can compare to Su Jin, he believes that his concealment back then must also have an internal situation, even if he is in the current situation where his mood is extremely bad, he will never indiscriminately add up evil words to Su Jin, but the premise of this qiē tolerance must be based on a reasonable explanation given by him

"The slave will give you an explanation, that is," the smile was involuntarily mixed with a little bitterness and helplessness, Su Jin half-bowed, but he did not have the same ease and leisureliness as he usually stayed by Yan Lie's side, he understood very well that the person sitting in front of him now was no longer a playmate who grew up together, at this moment, there was only a pure master-servant relationship between them, and this also meant that once his answer was not satisfactory to him, a punishment would be indispensable

Stabilizing his mind, Su Jin first straightened out his thoughts, and then continued: "Regardless of whether the emperor believes it or not, to tell the truth, although the slave noticed a little strange at that time, he didn't know much about it, and he didn't get any practical and useful evidence, so he didn't report it to you in time," After all, slandering the palace concubine is a big crime, even if he is a celebrity around the emperor, he is only a slave after all, if the master wants to let him die, he will definitely not have the power to parry, this point he has known quite clearly since the first day he entered the palace

"Is it just like this" slowly stood up, Yan Lie looked condescendingly at Su Jin, who was standing with his hands down, his expression unchanged, but it was majestic: "Then when did you notice that something was wrong?" The meaning of these words is that he has already chosen to believe the person in front of him

Secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Su Jin's demeanor remained unchanged, and he still looked extremely respectful: "It was discovered on the day Ning Guifei's bedroom went to the water, the emperor, you were worried about Ning Guifei's condition at that time, and you didn't pay attention to it, but the servant went to the burned palace, and turned around, and inadvertently smelled a little extremely slight smell of fire oil," but that trace of smell was extremely light and shallow, and it was completely dispersed by the wind, and if it weren't for his sense of smell, he was born more acute than ordinary people, and I am afraid that he would have missed it without exception."

"Fire Oil ......" As soon as he heard this, the expression that had been relieved a lot was suddenly a little hideous, and his hands were unconsciously clenched together, he directly punched the table in front of him, and the teapots and teacups placed on it jumped up, and the momentum was a little scary: "This woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion, she clearly wants to burn Ning Er alive in the palace, if it weren't for the patrolling guards who found it early, I was afraid that her plot would have succeeded at that time." Even though he had already learned the truth from Bai Xinwen, he still felt extremely shocked when faced with the details of Rusi

At that time, I was bent on the grand cause of expanding the territory, and I never found out that the battle in the backyard actually rose to such a bloody and cruel point in silence, those slender women who usually look soft and weak and seem to have no power to restrain the chicken, when it comes to their own interests, they can not hesitate to use the hands that embroider and caress the piano on weekdays to kill people, just thinking of this, Yan Lie feels that the cool air on his back is rushing straight up, and he has no good impression of the entire harem, and he just wishes that he can never step into it

"It's been too many years, the emperor still don't think about it anymore," he personally stepped forward to hold the pot and poured a cup of tea for Yan Lie, Su Jin's face was calm, but he didn't show the same anger and shock, it was obvious that at such times in the palace, he had long been accustomed to this qiē: "There are many ladies in the harem, but the emperor's favor is only one, and if you want to get it, you will inevitably have all the means."

Not to mention that the temptation of the emperor's promise to the two concubines was big enough to make people do everything they could, even if there was no such thing, the emperor's preference and favor for Ning Guifei was enough to arouse the jealousy of the harem women, the queen mother was born in a military general's family, and she was talented since she was a child, and her temperament was inevitably competitive, in his opinion, it was only a matter of time before such a proud woman of heaven would do such a heartbreaking thing, but Ning Guifei was obviously also from the Qingliu clan, but she was gentle and quiet and elegant, so she didn't have half the scheming and means, so she fell behind. After all, the harem is a woman's world, not to mention that he is a small chief of the chamberlain, even the emperor may not be able to stretch his hand so long, and now he only has a long sigh when he thinks about it

"The means are all together, this is really appropriate," a ray of darkness burst out of Yan's eyes, and it was a rare terrifying color: "It's just because she dares to set fire to murder because she competes for favor, and people who are sisters on weekdays dare to poison a pregnant woman, causing her to die of blood, not to mention that she also poisoned the baby in her womb, such a wicked woman with a treacherous mind and blood on her hands is still my queen...... Hehe, that's a great irony."

No wonder, no wonder Ember refused to recognize him as the emperor, no wonder he kept talking about the tragic death of his mother and whether it was worthwhile, no wonder he didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family at all...... But it turned out that he had long been resentful of this place, resentful of the people here, and even more resentful of so many painful memories of the past

"It looks like it's finally time for this qiē to be stopped......"
