Liu Shi slowly shook his head at her gaze, "The concubine also wants to believe in Niangniang, but unfortunately, the concubine can't do it." Therefore, the concubine will go to the emperor again and ask the emperor to personally inquire about this matter. ”

Ling Ruo frowned and said, "The emperor has already handed over this matter to this palace to deal with. ”

Liu shook his head angrily and said: "The emperor handed over this matter to Niangniang because he believed that Niangniang could be fair and selfless, but unfortunately, the concubine saw a scene of frank favoritism, and I believe that even if Niangniang continues to interrogate again, there will be no result, or directly find an innocent person to blame, so that Qi Jia's family can get away with it." Rather than this, it is better not to judge. ”

"If the emperor refuses to ask about this matter, what will you do?" Ling Ruo's words made Liu stunned, and then said coldly: "I don't bother with this matter, after all, Hongzhan is the emperor's heir, and the emperor will not ignore it." ”

As she spoke, she wanted to leave, Ling Ruo glanced at Yang Hai when she saw this, the latter nodded knowingly, and reached out to stop Liu and Jin Gu before they stepped out of the threshold, this move surprised Liu, turned his head to stare at Ling Ruo and asked, "Niangniang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ling Ruo's move, don't say that it was the Liu family, even the Qi Jia family and the Xu family were also very stunned, looking at each other, and couldn't understand why Ling Ruo did this. After all, it was Qi Jia's clan who was accused of harming Hongzhan, but from the time he came in to the present, Ling Ruo was targeting the Liu clan everywhere, and it didn't make sense to make sense.

Ling Ruo lowered his head and stroked the smooth and flawless jade bracelet on his wrist, and said casually: "This palace is not interesting, but until this palace figures out this matter, no one is allowed to leave, including you concubine!" ”

Liu's eyes were cold, and he said angrily: "Niangniang, this is trying to imprison the concubine? ”

Ling Ruo got up and walked slowly in front of the Liu family, and said casually: "It's not as serious as being imprisoned, just ask Concubine Qian and Sixth Elder Brother to wait here, after the palace finds out the truth, Concubine Qian can go wherever she wants, but before that, she can only be wronged by Concubine Qian." ”

Liu sensed Ling Ruo's target, and said coldly: "What if the concubine refuses? ”

Ling Ruo showed a slight cold smile, "This is the Chengqian Palace, only this palace is allowed or not, and there is no reason for the concubine to be willing or not." ”

"You've already calculated it a long time ago, that's why you have to come here with Hongzhan, right?" In anger, Liu blurted out, not even adding honorifics.

Ling Ruo looked at Liu's beautiful and delicate face and said, "If this palace says no, will Concubine Qian believe it?" ”

Liu didn't speak, but her expression had already said everything, in the mutual gaze, she slowly retreated, then turned around, stared at Yang Hai, who was about to stop her, and said viciously: "Which hand you dare to touch the palace, the palace will chop off which hand, this is a crime of disrespect, and Concubine Xi may not be able to protect you!" ”

This time, what Liu said was not a lie, no matter who it was, as long as they were charged with disrespect, it would be very troublesome, especially a palace person like Yang Hai.

Yang Hai didn't know whether to stop it or not, and looked at Ling Ruo in embarrassment, who raised his chin and said, "Don't stop it, just go and close the palace door." ”

Yang Hai hurriedly agreed, summoned a few little eunuchs, and closed the palace door tightly before the Liu family went out, and blocked the palace gate with his own body, so that the Liu family could not open it.

Liu's face was so angry that his face turned pale, he handed the umbrella to Jin Gu, let her hold it on Hongzhan's head, and walked to the eaves in the rain, and met Ling Ruo's eyes when he walked out of the hall, and said word by word: "I want to see the emperor!" ”

Ling Ruo didn't seem to see Liu's anger, and said indifferently: "I will see it, but after the truth is found out in this palace." ”

Liu gritted his teeth and said: "The concubine did not make a mistake, and the mother has no reason to imprison the concubine, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that the mother will not be able to explain it." ”

Ling Ruo smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "This palace has said that it is not as serious as imprisonment, but I just ask the mother and son of Qian Concubine to be guests in Chengqian Palace for a while, I believe that the emperor will understand this palace." ”

Liu sneered: "Is there a mother who forces people to be guests like this? ”

Ling Ruo glanced at Hongzhan who was held in Jin Gu's arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe this palace's approach has made Concubine Qian a little misunderstood, but this palace has absolutely no malicious intent. ”

Liu Shi was just about to open his mouth, when Ling Ruo's voice came from his ears again, "It's that Concubine Qian's reaction is very curious, as if she doesn't want this palace to ask more about the sixth elder brother." Let Bengong guess if there are some things that Qian Concubine is unwilling to let Bengong know, such as the murderer who really caused the sixth elder brother to faint. ”

Liu's eyelids jumped, and he suppressed the panic in his heart and said: "The concubine has already told Niangniang all the things that he knows, as for Hongzhan, he is young and can't express his meaning correctly in some things, why does Niangniang keep asking him about it." ”

"Okay, this palace won't ask the sixth elder brother anymore." Her answer surprised Liu, and before she could react, she heard Ling Ruo continue: "But this palace wants Imperial Doctor Zhou to carefully inspect the body of the sixth elder brother, if there is no problem after the examination, this palace will let you leave, how about it?" ”

Liu's eyes flickered, thinking in his heart about the authenticity of Ling Ruo's words, if it was really just like this, it would be no big deal, but it was unknown whether Ling Ruo would keep his promise and let him go.

After thinking for a long time, Liu said suspiciously: "Is what Niangniang said seriously? ”

Ling Ruo glanced back at Zhou Minghua and the others who were standing behind him, "Everyone here has heard the words of this palace, if they regret it, they are human witnesses, and each of them can help Qian Concubine to prove that this palace is not trustworthy in front of the emperor." ”

Liu sneered and said: "I'm afraid that Niangniang is really not keeping her promises, and no one dares to testify against Niangniang." ”

"Let's not say these words, this palace just wants to ask Concubine Qian, can you ask Imperial Doctor Zhou to check it again for the sixth elder brother?"

Facing Ling Ruo's words, Liu Shi was a little undecided for a while, if she said it from her heart, she didn't want to pay attention to Ling Ruo, but if she didn't agree to her, she and Hongzhan would be inseparable from Chengqian Palace. Although she didn't dare to do anything to herself and Hongzhan in front of so many people, she was always uneasy, especially when she always pestered Hongzhan and Begonia, as if she had discovered something.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, according to what the concubine said, I hope the concubine will keep her promise." ”

"Definitely!" As Ling Ruo's voice fell, Liu motioned for Jin Gu to come over, and then handed Hongzhan over to Imperial Physician Zhou, at the same time, Ling Ruo instructed Shui Xiu: "Go and prepare a quiet room, so that Imperial Physician Zhou can carefully examine the sixth elder brother." ”

Imperial Physician Zhou agreed, and was about to go down with Shui Xiu with Hongzhan in his arms, Liu's footsteps turned, stretched out his hand to stop, and then said to Ling Ruo: "Why do you want to go to the quiet room, can't you check here?" ”
