Ling Ruo frowned and said: "E-Niang naturally knows this, but this big tree must be pulled out sooner or later, otherwise he will become a tumor of the imperial court, with your Emperor Ama's ability, you should be able to control the court situation quickly." ”

Hongli nodded and said: "Erchen understands, but E-Niang can guarantee that Huang Ama will exterminate all the people related to the Nala clan, and there is no intention of resistance?" Ling Ruo was speechless when he said this, and Hongli's words continued, "If not, then these people will become new and more insidious tumors, affecting the stability of my Qing Dynasty's eternal inheritance." When Huang Ama was alive, he could still control it, but if Huang Ama died, could the heir be able to suppress the overall situation? I'm afraid that even Eniang is not sure about this. ”

Hearing this, Ling Ruo's eyes were already full of surprise, although Hongli was smart and studious and diligent in the past, he didn't have such a delicate mind, not only thinking of the present, but even thinking of the pros and cons of the future court, which he didn't expect.

At this moment, she no longer regarded Hongli as her son, but put him on the same height as herself, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Hongli suddenly said: "Have you ever heard of boiled frogs in warm water?" ”

Ling Ruo raised his eyebrows and said, "No, can you explain it to Eniang?" ”

Hongli agreed: "If you put a live frog in boiling water, it will try its best to jump out, because if you stay in it, it will be a dead end, but the result is that the pot will be spilled, and the frog will escape." But if you put the frog in warm water, it will let its guard down because of the right temperature of the water, thinking that it is just an ordinary water tank, and by the time the warm water gradually turns into boiling water, it will already be cooked and will not be able to jump out of it. ”

Ling Ruoshang heard these words for the first time, and said quite freshly: "Who are you listening to?" ”

Hongli touched the back of his head, and was a little embarrassed, "It's not that people told Erchen, but that Erchen came up with it when he was wandering outside, and he was hungry and grabbed frogs to satisfy his hunger." ”

Although Hongli didn't say much about his experience in the past six months or so, Ling Ruozhi said that he must have had a hard time, she stroked Hongli's cheek distressedly and said, "It's Eniang who is sorry for you, I didn't protect you well and made you suffer so much." ”

Hongli took her hand and said: "It is not Eniang's fault that caused all this, but Erchen's own lack of experience and Hongshi's dang, but he also has to lose it, otherwise Erchen would not have such a tempering." ”

Ling Ruo said with some surprise: "Do you think this is a tempering?" ”

"Half a year of wandering and even dying made Erchen understand a truth, that is, as long as he lives, everything he has experienced will be the most precious tempering in life, and this kind of tempering can make people transform and grow." Speaking of this, Hongli said solemnly: "E-niang, Erchen has grown up, and he is no longer the hairy boy who used to do things recklessly and make E-Niang worry." In the future, the sons may encounter all kinds of difficulties, but the sons will overcome them, so that they will become a tempering rather than a fatal crisis. Because...... The retainers have to stay by Eniang's side and serve Eniang, so they must not die. ”

His words made Ling Ruo laugh, and he said, "It seems that E-Niang's Hongli has really grown up, and he no longer needs E-Niang's protection." ”

Hongli said solemnly: "Yes, Erchen no longer needs Eniang's protection, because in the future, Erchen will protect Eniang, and like Huang Ama, protect Eniang!" ”

Ling Ruo said with a smile: "The way you say this, you really look a little like your Emperor Ama, but Eniang is not a weak woman, and she needs your protection." During this time, it is a tempering for you, and for Eniang, it is not it. You have people to deal with, and so do Eniang. ”

Hongli thought about it for a moment and understood what Ling Ruo meant, "E-niang is talking about the queen's mother?" ”

"As long as the queen does not fall for a day, the Nala clan will not really fall; And the sudden fall of the queen will touch the nerves of the Nala clan, and the two will fall into a kind of endless circle. Although your emperor Ama said before that he would abolish the position of queen of the Nala clan, it is useless, the Nala clan will still occupy a place in the palace, and take away her throne, your emperor Ama will feel a little guilty in his heart, so that the Nala clan is in a favorable place, which is not good news for Eniang. ”

Hongli said with a hint of abruptness: "That's why E-Niang insisted on refusing to be crowned queen?" ”

Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said, "For Eniang, the most important thing is to be by your emperor's side, as for whether she is a concubine or a queen, it doesn't matter. ”

Hongli showed the same smile, "Because in Huang Ama's heart, Eniang is already his queen." ”

Ling Ruo smiled and said, "You kid, who made you say this." By the way, what's going on over there? ”

Speaking of Ma Qi, Hongli's face turned gloomy and said: "Lord Ma Qi hasn't woken up until now, Imperial Doctor Xu has already seen it, and even he is not sure when he will wake up." ”

Ling Ruo saw his worries and comforted: "Don't worry, Master Ma Qi has always been tough, and he will be fine, maybe he will wake up tomorrow." On your side, since you have already responded to Hongshi's request and not revealed their affairs, why don't you let Zhaohui go? ”

"Because they made two demands at that time, that is, in addition to keeping the truth, they also wanted their sons to resign as princes." Hongli's words caused Ling Ruo to sneer again and again, "It seems that Hongshi has not stopped fighting for the position until now, too, even if he doesn't want to fight, the Nala clan will force him to fight." If the Qing Dynasty falls into the hands of such a person, I really don't know what it will become. ”

Hongli clenched his hands, gritted his teeth and said: "E-niang, don't worry, even if Erchen is not the crown prince, he will not let him succeed, and Erchen will definitely uproot him and the Nala clan hidden behind him." ”

"E-Niang believes in you." At this moment, Ling Ruo's eyes were full of pride when she looked at Hongli, her son had grown into a real eagle after going through wind and rain; And Hongshi, who has always been under the protection of the Nala clan, has never experienced real suffering, so the one who wins in the end will definitely be Hongli.

On the other side, after many inquiries, Hongshi finally learned that a month ago, there was a person who lived in the Frost Pavilion of the Guojun Palace, but who lived and where he came from, but he couldn't find out, only that it was a woman, who came back from Junggar with the king of Guojun.

When Hongshi told the Nala clan about this, the doubts in the hearts of the Nala clan were deeper than before, if it was really the Niu Hulu clan, how could he come back from Junggar with the king of Guojun, this is too unreasonable, but if not, how to explain the fact that Yinzhen often goes to the palace of Guojun.
