Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "Just like the emperor said, Sixth Elder Brother is just a child, he won't have so many harmful thoughts, presumably he is being used in ignorance." ”

"That being the case, he should tell the truth, instead of blindly protecting the queen." Shui Xiu's words made Ling Ruo sigh: "We are not the sixth elder brother, how can we know what he thinks in his heart, but no matter what, this palace must let the sixth elder brother tell the truth, and not let the person who hurt his sister go unpunished." Speaking of this, she said: "The palace is already much better, help the palace to return to the Chengqian Palace." ”

Shui Xiu said worriedly: "What should the sixth elder brother do?" ”

"I'll talk about it later, the palace forced the sixth elder brother so tightly before, and made his ear damage worse, which already made the emperor dislike, if you blindly ask again, don't say that the sixth elder brother will resist the palace, even if the emperor is there, the palace can't explain it."

Shui Xiu heard the helplessness in Ling Ruo's words, didn't say anything more, and helped Ling Ruo go back with Yang Hai, at this time the sky was getting dark, the sunset was gorgeous, and it was so beautiful that Ling Ruo didn't have the slightest appreciation.

Back in the palace, after slowly drinking a cup of tea, Ling Ruo also had a plan in his heart, Hongzhan is certainly the most critical one, but it is obvious that Hongzhan is unwilling to tell the truth because of some things, and she has no grasp of persuading Hongzhan, so she can only start from other aspects first.

Zhong Shang...... After Ling Ruo silently repeated it several times, he ordered Yang Hai and the others to go outside to inquire about Qian Moduo, and after inquiring clearly, he said: "Go and pass Qian Moduo and Zhong Shang over, the palace has something to ask them, there is no need to pass it together, let Qian Moduo come to the palace first." ”

Yang Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "The master wants to ask about the tea again?" After Ling Ruo nodded, he said: "Zhong Shang is an extremely slippery person and is obviously the queen's mother, even if the master asks again, I am afraid that he will not tell the truth to the master." As for Mr. Qian, not to mention whether he knows about this matter, even if he does, he may not be willing to tell the truth to his master. ”

Ling Ruo stroked his face and said, "This palace knows, in short, you do what this palace says, pass on Qian Moduo first, and then pass on Zhong Shang after the palace asks Qian Moduo." ”

Ling Ruo's words made Yang Hai and Shui Xiu look at each other, and they didn't understand what she meant, could it be that Qian Moduo could help persuade Zhong Shang? Will this be useful? Although he didn't understand, Yang Hai didn't delay and went to the Internal Affairs Office in a puff of smoke.

At this time, Qian Moduo was counting the various arrivals and exits of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the past two days, and when he heard Ling Ruo's summons, he quickly put down the things in his hand and followed Yang Hai over, he was quite worried along the way, he had also heard about Concubine Jin's affairs, and he didn't know what Concubine Xi was doing when he summoned him at this time. On the way, he also thought about Yang Hai's words, but Yang Haihai's wind was very tight, and he couldn't get anything out at all.

When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, the sky was already completely dark, and An'er was taking a few palace people around to hold lights.

Qian Moduo entered the side hall and said to Ling Ruo, who was eating, "The slave asks for peace for the concubine, and the mother is blessed." ”

Ling Ruo put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, raised his hand and said, "Manager Qian, please get up." ”

"Thank you, mother." Qian Moduo got up as he said, waited for a while and didn't see Ling Ruo speak, and said cautiously: "I don't know why the slave came here?" ”

Ling Ruo didn't answer him, but said, "Manager Qian has also been in charge of this Internal Affairs Office for some years, right?" ”

"Yes, the emperor and Niangniang are in love, and the slave ......" Qian Moduo was halfway through his words before being interrupted by Ling Ruo, "You can do this position, this palace has not helped you anything, but I heard that the queen has helped to say a few good words." Either way, it's your fate and luck. Having said that, if a eunuch can achieve the position of the chief manager, it can be regarded as infinitely beautiful. ”

Qian Moduo couldn't figure out the meaning of her words, so he didn't dare to speak casually, so he could only stand with a smile, at this time Ling Ruo changed the topic and said, "Who else are there in your family?" ”

Qian Moduo hurriedly said: "Back to the mother's words, both parents are here, there is a sister and a brother, the younger sister has become a family, the younger brother has been studying since childhood, passed last year's township examination, but unfortunately failed to pass the examination, or a lifter, and now is waiting to fill the vacancy in the ministry, if it has not been filled in the year after tomorrow, then go to participate in the examination again, I hope to be nominated for the gold list." ”

Ling Ruo nodded slightly, what Qian Moduo said was basically consistent with what Yang Hai and the others could inquire, "I didn't expect that there was a lifter in Mr. Qian's housekeeper, which is really rare, but among the hundred lifters, only five people can be admitted to the Jinshi, and the difficulty can be imagined." ”

Qian Moduo said astringently: "This slave also knows, but the errand of the ministry is not easy to wait, and he does not hide it from his mother, some people have waited for ten or eight years without waiting for the empty difference." ”

Ling Ruo wiped the soup stains on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Hongli is now on an errand in the Ministry of Officials, if your brother's character and knowledge are passable, this palace can let him find an official and a half-position for your brother, although the position is not high, at most it is only seven or eight grades, but it is better than being idle at home like this." ”

Qian Moduo didn't expect Ling Ruo to say such a thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Niang Niang is so loving, how can a slave afford it." ”

"It's just a gesture, it's nothing, and this palace also has words first, you must be knowledgeable and characterful."

Qian Moduo endured the excitement in his heart and said: "Don't worry, the knowledge of the slave brother is not first-class, but it is better than many people, as for the character, the slave can guarantee that he will definitely not disappoint the mother." ”

Although he is an official to the fifth grade, he is the head of the internal affairs office, and he can be regarded as a prominent eunuch in the eunuch, but in the final analysis, he is still a eunuch who waits for the master, and has been looking forward to the younger brother at home to get ahead and be an official master, so over the years, as long as he gets the silver, he will immediately send it out for his younger brother to study, and finally won the promotion last year, but he can not pass the test, and can only make up for the difference in the ministry, but the result is half a year to no avail, he once wanted to go over to ask the queen, after all, the queen and him have a little intersection, but Yingge was beheaded, The second elder brother was robbed of his errand again, and he was idle at home, and the Nala clan, which was originally in full swing, became extremely depressed, which made him finally dispel his thoughts.

thought that he could only resign himself to fate like this, but he didn't expect that Concubine Xi would take the initiative to show favor, which really flattered him, but he also knew in his heart that there was no good thing in this world for no reason, there must be a reason.

Qian Moduo rubbed his hands and said: "Niangniang is very gracious, the slave really doesn't know how to repay it." If Niangniang has anything to order, as long as it can only be done by a slave, she will never give up. ”

Ling Ruo smiled and said, "Mr. Qian is serious, but there is indeed something in this palace that needs your help." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Moduo quickly perked up and said, "Please give me orders." ”

Chapter 1936

"You know all about Concubine Jin?" Having said so much, Ling Ruo finally got to the point.

Qian Moduo said cautiously: "The slave heard about it, Concubine Jin Niangniang has always treated the sixth elder brother very well, sometimes the palace people of Concubine Jin Niangniang come to the slave to get something, the best must be for the sixth elder brother, the slave really can't understand why he scolded the sixth elder brother like this." ”

Ling Ruo said meaningfully: "If this palace sues you, Concubine Jin is because she was drugged, the guide is unconscious, and she hits the sixth elder brother by mistake, do you understand?" ”

Qian Moduo's face turned pale, he knew that the masters in the palace were deceitful and deceived each other, and framed each other, but he was a smart person, so he only guarded his own affairs over the years, and never got involved in these things, Concubine Xi said this to him at the moment, could it be that he thought he knew something?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Ruo raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Qian is silent, what do you know?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Moduo shook his hand again and again, "Niangniang, don't misunderstand, how could the slave know this, but I was too surprised to hear Niangniang say that someone drugged Concubine Niangniang." The minions have been staying in the internal affairs office, and the facts of the various palaces are known in a limited way, and the minions ......"

Without waiting for Qian Moduo to continue, Ling Ruo already said, "Okay, this palace is just saying it casually, don't care too much." ”

Qian Moduo breathed a sigh of relief, although he was very curious about who drugged Concubine Jin, but he understood that the more he knew in this palace, the more troublesome it would be, so he suppressed his curiosity and bowed his head and said, "Niangniang just said that there is something for the slave to do, I don't know what it is?" ”

Ling Ruo stroked his sleeves and got up and said, "Although you don't know about Concubine Jin's druggedment, there are people under you who know. ”

Qian Moduo was taken aback, remembering that Ling Ruo had gone to find Zhong Shang during the day, and said tentatively: "Niangniang refers to Zhong Shang?" ”

"Not bad." At this time, Ling Ruo didn't hide it from him, and said in a Xu voice: "This palace suspects that the tea was not given to the sixth elder brother by him, and Concubine Jing did not appreciate him so much Lushan Yunwu tea during her lifetime. ”

"This ......" Qian Moduo also felt a little suspicious, and thought: "Concubine Jing has died, this kind of thing is impossible to trace at all, as for the case file of the Internal Affairs Office, the servants of the past two years can find it, but Concubine Jing entered the palace for 43 years of Kangxi, and it has been more than 20 years, whether she has appreciated Zhong Shang's tea, it is really impossible to trace." ”

"This palace understands, so I asked the money manager to help with this, this palace wants you to make a booklet immediately, which records all the things that the first emperor's concubines shared, of course, the most important thing is Lushan Yunwu tea, Zhong Shang said that he was rewarded almost ten years ago, that is, in the fifty-seventh or eighth year of Kangxi."

Qian Moduo was even more surprised than just now when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, do you want the slave to forge the case file?" ”

"Yes, this palace suspects that Zhong Shang is false, but unfortunately there is no evidence to prove it at the moment, but if there is such a booklet, this palace will have a way to force Zhong Shang to show his fox tail."

Having said that, Qian Moduo is still very embarrassed, "But Kangxi has been in the past fifty years, and the slave really can't remember it clearly, so I'm afraid of ......"

Ling Ruo raised his hand and said, "You don't have to record it truthfully, as long as you look like it, you can deceive Zhong Shang." ”

Qian Moduo had the heart to refuse, but he knew very well that once he refused, his younger brother would have no chance, so he could only continue to wait in the ministry to make up for the errand or wait for the next year, which would not have much chance at all, or wait for ten or eight years to still be a lifter.

"This palace knows that this matter makes it very difficult for Mr. Qian, but this palace has no choice, Concubine Jin was killed for no reason, if this palace can't find the murderer who killed her, how can she have the face to see her. This palace can assure you that as long as you promise to help this palace, this palace will definitely let Hongli do his best to make up for your brother, and he will not treat him badly in the future, and you also hope that your brother can truly glorify his ancestors. ”

Ling Ruo's words finally made Qian Moduo make up his mind, clenched his fists and said, "Okay, the slave will help Niangniang this time." But Zhong Shang is also a person from the Internal Affairs Office, and he knows many things, so whether this method can succeed, the slave does not dare to guarantee. In addition, to make such a booklet, you have to give the minions a little time, and you will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. ”

Ling Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, tomorrow afternoon, you will send the booklet to the main palace, this matter, except for the people standing here now, this palace does not want anyone to know." ”

"Minions understand." Qian Moduo agreed and said, "If Niangniang doesn't have other instructions, the slave will retire first." ”

Ling Ruo nodded, and after he left, Yang Hai said, "Master, do you still want to pass on Zhong Shang?" ”

Ling Ruo returned to the chair and sat down and said, "Let's wait for the booklet to be delivered tomorrow, Ben Gongyuan still wants to let Qian Moduo do it immediately, so that he can force Zhong Shang to show up immediately, it seems that it will not work." Tomorrow...... Hongu was worried that something would happen. ”

"But this kind of thing can't be rushed, and besides, it's just a day's work, so there must be nothing wrong." In the face of Shui Xiu's consolation, Ling Ruo didn't say anything, because no matter whether she was worried or not, she had to wait.

The night rushed by in different thoughts, and the first thing Ling Ruo did after getting up was to go to see the Guerjia clan, but what saddened her was that the Guerjia clan's situation was even worse than yesterday, and it became more and more crazy, and it seemed that Rong Yuan's medicine did not have any effect.

When Ling Ruo asked Rong Yuan about this, Rong Yuan sighed and said: "The grass people and Niangniang said that madness is difficult to treat, and the grass people are not sure, and even if it can be cured, it is a long process, and the effect will not be seen at all in a day or two. ”

Looking at the Guerjia clan who was crying and laughing while sitting in the chair, Ling Ruo's heart was so painful that he closed his eyes and said in a dumb voice: "Sister Concubine Jin can't have anything to do, Imperial Doctor Xu, you must help this palace." ”

Seeing the sadness between her eyebrows, Rong Yuan sighed and said: "The grass people will do their best, but Niangniang...... It's better to prepare for the worst. ”

Ling Ruo nodded in pain, then walked to Guerjia's side, held her hand with tears and said, "Sister, do you still recognize me?" ”

Guerjia stared at her left and right, and said blankly, "Who are you?" Why should I recognize you? ”

Ling Ruo choked up and said, "I'm Ling Ruo, Niu Hulu Ling Ruo, do you remember?" ”

Guerjia shook off her hand and said, "Crazy, I don't recognize you." Speaking of this, she suddenly stood up and said nervously: "By the way, I'm going to find Hongzhan, where is Hongzhan, where is he?" Is there an accident, why can't I see Hongzhan? Speaking of the back, she actually started crying.

Seeing this, Congxiang hurriedly said: "Master, the sixth elder brother has gone to the emperor, and he will not be able to come back until the evening, don't worry, as soon as the sixth elder brother comes back, the slave will bring him over to see you." ”
