He told Nanqiu that he didn't need to go to the palace gate, because her family wouldn't come, Nanqiu was surprised and asked him again and again why this was, Sanfu said that her family had been taken to a safe place by Nian Guifei to settle down, it was delicious and easy to use, and it was many times better than the original days, so she didn't have to worry.

Nanqiu can be in the position of the aunt in charge, and she will not be a stupid person, and she immediately understood the meaning of Sanfu's words, her family was arrested by Nian Guifei's people.

But she didn't understand that she had nothing to do with Nian Guifei, let alone a holiday, and what she did to arrest her family for no reason. But soon she understood what she was doing, because Concubine Nian wanted her to betray Concubine Xi. Nanqiu refused at first, but Sanfu threatened her with her family, forcing her to compromise.

After Sanfu left, Nanqiu went to the palace gate with a bit of luck, hoping to see her family appear, hoping that Sanfu was lying to herself, but she waited until dusk and sunset and did not wait for her family. Nanqiu understood that what Sanfu said was true, her family had fallen into the hands of Nian Guifei and had become a bargaining chip for Nian Guifei to control herself.

This has been going on for a month, and during this month, she has been constantly forced to tell Nian Guifei about Ling Ruo's movements, but Nian Guifei has never said what she wants her to do, until today, Nian Guifei sent someone to give her a bottle of poison and let her try to put it in the tea of the second elder brother Hongshi. And let her take Mo Er to make tea, so as to blame Mo Er for the poisoning, as for what year the concubine should appoint Mo Er alone, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to ask.

The first time I was drugged, I failed because Hiroshi didn't drink that cup of tea; She thought that she could escape, and when she secretly went to Chengqian Palace to die, she was told that if the second elder brother did not come, she would have to be drugged again.

Nanqiu didn't want to hurt anyone anymore, so she told Nian Guifei that the poison had been used up, but Nian Guifei told her that the dankou on Mo Er's finger was poison, and as long as she pretended to accidentally flush the tea on her finger, she could make a cup of tea that was originally non-toxic become highly poisonous.

Therefore, when making tea for the second time, Nanqiu deliberately washed the tea on Mo Er's hand to poison Hongshi, and then according to Nian Guifei's instructions in advance, reversed black and white and pushed everything on Mo Er.

Hearing this, Ling Ruo had a rough idea in his heart, it was true that Mo Er was a chess piece laid by the Nian clan, but this chess piece was more like a chess piece used to confuse himself, and the Nian clan was afraid that he had long doubted Mo Er's reliability.

Nanqiu is the most hidden chess piece, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

Therefore, in the layout, Mo Er became the pawn that was sacrificed as a matter of course, so that she could successfully set up this framed game.

Originally, everything should have been very smooth, the only thing that surprised Nian's was Yinzhen's attitude, even Ling Ruo himself didn't expect that this time, Yinzhen, who had always been very suspicious, would believe in himself so much.

In the deep palace, this kind of trust is the most precious, and it also makes Ling Ruo believe that returning to the palace with Yinzhen is the most correct decision in her life. It's just that no matter how much trust there is, there is an end, and she must try to prove her innocence before Yinzhen's trust is exhausted.

However, Nian's game this time is almost flawless, and it is not easy to break the game. What's more, Nanqiu is still ......

Looking at Nanqiu, Ling Ruo couldn't help but sigh, she knew very well that Nanqiu, who was concerned about the safety of her family, would never agree to come forward to testify against the Nian family, but could Nanqiu really keep her family safe if she didn't say anything?

Nian's may not be as ruthless as Nala's, but he is definitely not a good child, and the person who survives in the palace should know one thing very well, that is, the living will never be as good as the mouth of the dead.

Therefore, what awaits Nanqiu is likely not to be the safety of his family, but the parting of life and death. She didn't say this, I believe that Nanqiu also knows it in her heart, but at this moment, even if it is just a glimmer of life, she will definitely not let go.

People are often like this, they have already guessed the result, but they have to deceive themselves before they are confirmed.

However, Ling Ruo knew in his heart that even if there was Nanqiu's testimony, Nian's could not deny it, after all, words are dead, people are alive, and the testimony of a palace maid is really nothing.

But the physical evidence ...... Ling Ruo frowned and gently knocked on the wenge table, thinking about where to start, and suddenly remembered that Shicai Yinzhen had said that this poison was extraordinary, it must have been prepared by a person who was deeply versed in medical science, and it was none other than Imperial Doctor Deng, could it be that the poison was from him.

Moreover, Imperial Physician Deng was also present just now, I don't know if it was a coincidence or Nian's intentional arrangement, according to Ling Ruo's thoughts, he was more inclined to the latter.

"Do you know where the poison of Concubine Lu Daonian came from?" Now that he was trapped in the Chengqian Palace and couldn't get out, Ling Ruo could only find clues from Nanqiu.

Nanqiu wiped away her tears and said, "They didn't say anything other than handing over the medicine to the slaves. However, when the slave maid later went to Yikun Palace to die, she happened to see Imperial Doctor Deng leaving. ”

Sure enough, it has something to do with him! Ling Ruo said something secretly in his heart, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a shadow shaking outside, and hurriedly shouted, "Who is outside?" ”

Kang Hai walked out of the hall quickly, but as soon as he crossed the threshold, he bowed down and retreated, calling out to the fourth elder brother.

"Hongli?" Ling Ruo looked at Hongli who walked in with some surprise, and seeing that he was barefoot, he hurriedly asked Shui Xiu to get shoes for him to put on, and asked at the same time, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

"Erchen can't sleep." Hongli looked down at his cold feet and said, "Erchen has heard it all outside just now, did Nian Guifei instruct Nanqiu to harm Eniang?" ”

Hongli is now twelve years old, and it is difficult for Ling Ruo to pick him up casually like when he was a child, so he can only wave him to come close and say: "Eniang will handle these things herself, Hongli don't worry, it's okay." ”

Hongli put on the shoes brought by Shui Xiu and said seriously: "E-niang, Hongli has grown up, he is no longer a child, Hongli can share it with E-niang." ”

"E-Niang knows that you are filial, but these things are too early for you, you should study hard now." Ling Ruo didn't want Hongli to come into contact with these intrigues and power struggles too early.

Hongli stood there without speaking, and just when Ling Ruo thought that he had listened to his orders, Hongli said again: "If this matter is not handled well, what will happen to Eniang, abolish the title or enter the cold palace?" ”

Ling Ruo didn't expect him to suddenly ask this, and he was speechless for a while, but he listened to Hongli continue: "Erchen is the son of Eniang, once something happens to Eniang, Erchen will inevitably be implicated, and when the time comes, where will there be books to read." Therefore, please also ask Eniang to let her sons share with you and tide over the difficulties together! When he said the worst, he fell to his knees on one knee.

Hongli's performance really surprised Ling Ruo, since when did he know so much, and he understood the way of honor and loss in the palace. After a long time, she tearfully helped Hongli up, and said with relief: "Okay, very good, Eniang's Hongli has really grown up." ”

The young eagle, which is always sheltered under the wings of its parents, can never fly high, and Hongli is destined to grow into an eagle soaring above the blue sky.
