Chapter 1151: Self-Confession
Ling Ruo's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he quickly walked in front of Shu Mulu's clan and said sharply, "Why did your silk bag appear in the Hongli room?" And is the poisoning of Hongli related to you? ”
In fact, Ling Ruo wanted to directly ask Shu Mulu if she had poisoned Hongli, but firstly, Yinzhen was present, and secondly, there was no substantial evidence, so this kind of thing could not be easily spoken.
Shu Mulu shook his hand in a panic and said, "No, the concubine doesn't know anything." ”
Ling Ruo snatched the silk bag from Shui Yue's hand and threw it on Shu Mulu's face, "It's you who admit that this silk bag is yours, and now you don't know what to say to this palace, do you think this palace will believe it?" ”
"The concubine really doesn't know anything, and the silk bag is made by the concubine herself, but during this time, whether it is the concubine or the people around the concubine, they have never been to the Chengqian Palace, nor have they seen the fourth elder brother, so if you ask the concubine now, the concubine really can't answer." Shu Mulu was about to cry when he spoke, and turned to Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, if the concubine is related to the poisoning of the fourth elder brother, how can he take the initiative to admit that this silk bag belongs to the concubine, and he should deny it in every possible way!" ”
A trace of hesitation flashed in Yin Zhen's eyes, and after hesitating for a while, he said to Ling Ruo: "Concubine Xi, Jiahui's words also have some truth, you should calm down first." ”
Ling Ruo suddenly turned around and said in a cold voice that Yinzhen had never seen before: "Your Majesty, Hongli was tortured just now, if it weren't for Imperial Doctor Xu arriving in time to detoxify, Hongli is still suffering from inhuman torture, and he won't even have his life, how can you calm down your concubine?" ”
Yin Zhen did not blame Ling Ruo for being rude, but said kindly: "I know that you are sad in your heart, but don't forget, Hongli is also my son, and I will not feel better than you, but now the matter is unclear, and just a silk bag can't prove anything." Seeing that Ling Ruo wanted to speak, he took the first step and said, "Anyway, I promise you, I will personally inquire about this matter, and I will definitely find out the person who harmed Hongli, okay?" ”
Ling Ruo looked straight at Yinzhen's gaze, and after a long time, she finally said, "Hongli's suffering cannot be in vain. ”
"I know that no one can harm me and your son." Saying this, he asked Shui Xiu Fu Ling Ruo to sit down in the chair, while he stared at the panicked Shu Mulu and said, "I ask you, since you said that it has nothing to do with Hongli, why did your silk bag appear in Hongli's room?" ”
Although he didn't believe that Shu Mulu was this kind of person, this suspicion did exist, and if he couldn't explain it clearly, Shu Mulu's suspicion was the greatest.
"The concubine really doesn't know what to do." Shu Mulu knelt on the ground softly, staring at the silk bag that fell on the ground in despair, "The concubine has been a little restless when she has been asleep at night these days, so she made a few silk bags to hold dried flowers and put them on the side of the pillow to help sleep. Speaking of this, she grabbed the hem of Yinzhen's bright yellow dragon robe and said: "Your Majesty, you must believe in the concubine, the concubine and the fourth elder brother have no grievances, and there is no reason to harm him." ”
"Hongli may have no enmity with you, but what about this palace?" Ling Ruo suddenly opened his mouth and said something, attracting everyone's sympathy.
Yin Zhen raised his eyes and said puzzledly: "Concubine Xi, why do you say that?" ”
"Your Majesty, you forgot, when Yushan came out and confessed to killing the Seventh Elder Brother, the emperor asked the concubine what his opinion was, and the concubine felt that Yushan was likely to be the same as the palace maid Piaoxiang beside Wen Rutian in the past; Perhaps Hui Guiren remembered this sentence and thought that the concubine was intent on targeting her and even harming her, so he thought of taking revenge on the concubine. ”
"The concubine didn't ......" Shu Mulu had just said a few words, and Ling Ruo interrupted her with a cold face, "You know that the most beloved thing in this palace is Hongli, once something happens to Hongli, this palace will be miserable, so you will attack Hongli to take revenge on this palace." ”
Shu Mulu's face changed slightly, she didn't expect Ling Ruo to guess her mind just by guessing, no wonder she could achieve the position of the third rank concubine, she was really a little capable.
Thinking like this, there was a look of sadness and injustice on his face, and he kept shaking his head and said: "The concubine didn't do it, the concubine didn't do it!" Yes, the concubine admitted that she did have some resentment towards Niangniang at that time, but during the time she was imprisoned, the concubine had already figured it out that Niangniang was just talking about things, not intentionally targeting the concubine, and in that case at that time, the concubine did have many suspicious things, and she couldn't blame Niangniang at all. Besides, the concubine has nothing to do now, so how can she remember the past again. Your Majesty, everything the concubine said is true, and there is not a single word of falsehood. ”
Ling Ruo scoffed at her words, and after Yin Zhen made a silent gesture towards Ling Ruo, he looked at Shu Mulu with a complicated expression and said: "Let's not talk about these for the time being, I want to know why you came to Chengqian Palace so suddenly today, since I resumed my position, I remember that you have never been to Chengqian Palace, do you really have no trace of mustard for Concubine Xi?" ”
Shu Mulu's heart froze, she knew that Concubine Xi's fierce words just now made Yinzhen a little suspicious of herself, and hurriedly kowtowed: "If you go back to the emperor, the Internal Affairs Office sent the concubine's smiling lychee over, and the concubine looked good, so she wanted to bring it to the emperor to taste, but when the concubine arrived at the Yangxin Palace, the palace people said that the emperor came to Chengqian Palace." The reason why the concubine did not come to Chengqian Palace before was because she was afraid that Concubine Xi would not like the concubine, after all, the incident of the seventh elder brother made the concubine have some misunderstandings. Speaking of this, she glanced at Ling Ruo in fear, and said with a lost face: "Listening to what Niangniang said just now, the concubine knows that this misunderstanding has not been cleared up. ”
"Since you're afraid that the palace won't like it, why did you come here again today? Did you know early in the morning that Hongli had an accident today, so you waited for an opportunity to come over to see how Hongli was suffering and suffering? ”
"The concubine is wronged!" Shu Mulu wept aggrievedly: "The concubine originally didn't want to come, but when she walked back halfway, she felt that the lychees had already been brought, and it would be a pity to bring them back as they were, so it was better to send them to the Chengqian Palace for the mother to try with the emperor." After the palace people went in, they said that the emperor and the mother were flawless and saw the concubines, and the concubines asked the palace people a few words, and then they knew that something had happened to the fourth elder brother of Lu Dao. Before that, the concubine really didn't know. ”
Ruliu took the opportunity to open the basket she brought, revealing the lychees inside, and she kowtowed herself: "Your Majesty, each of these lychees was selected by the master himself, and the master really just wanted to give this lychee to the emperor and his mother to try it, but he didn't expect so many things to happen." ”
