Ling Ruo's overly calm voice made Hongli a little uneasy, and said worriedly: "Eniang, are you angry?" ”

"Nope." Ling Ruo's answer did not reassure Hongli, and he pulled Ling Ruo's sleeve and said guiltily: "Eniang, I'm sorry, Erchen shouldn't doubt you." Even if you write a letter, Erchen will definitely bring it to Liu Guards for you. ”

"Don't ask E-Niang what she wants to do?" Ling Ruo didn't move, his eyes kept falling on Hongli's face, trying to see every trace of his subtle expression.

Hongli thought for a long time before answering, "Don't ask, Eniang is the only E-Niang of Erchen, no matter what E-Niang does, what Erchen should do should be support, not asking." What's more, Erchen has always believed that Eniang is the kindest person in the world. ”

Ling Ruo was amused by his most reckless words, patted the back of his hand and said, "You, duplicity; Obviously, I was still worried. ”

"Erchen really doesn't." Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't believe it, Hongli said eagerly: "If E-Niang doesn't believe it, Erchen can swear." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down, but Ling Ruo grabbed him and said, "You were born in this palace, what are you thinking, how can this palace not know." She paused and continued: "You, when you grow up, you begin to have your own thoughts and opinions, and you are no longer the ignorant child you used to be, and you have grown up in a complex court since childhood, and it is normal to be suspicious. ”

Hongli listened silently, and after her voice dissipated in the air, she said word by word: "E-niang gave her son's life, what Erchen should do is to be filial to E-niang, not suspicious, please rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, Erchen will not ask again." ”

Ling Ruo smiled and said, "Even if E-Niang did something wrong, don't you ask?" ”

Hongli met Ling Ruo's eyes and said very seriously: "Erchen believes that Eniang will not do anything wrong. ”

Hongli's words moved Ling Ruo very much, but he said: "Where did you get such great confidence, did you do anything wrong, but even the palace itself didn't dare to assert it." ”

"Because you are the daughter of your son, this alone is enough." Hongli's answer made Ling Ruo laugh dumbly, what kind of reason is this, but it is really warm in my heart, no matter how many intrigues there are, at least she still has Hongli, a filial son, by her side.

After doing this, Ling Ruo ordered Shui Xiu to take the four treasures of the study, in addition to the letter, she also wrote a note, sandwiched in the letter, after doing all this, she said to Hongli: "You remember, let Liu Guards must find Yingchun and her family as soon as possible, and then settle them according to the method written on the letter in the palace, otherwise their lives are in danger." ”

Hongli unexpectedly heard Yingchun's name, a little strange, but he didn't ask much, took the letter and hurried to find Liu Hu.

After a long wait, Hongli finally brought the news, Liu Hu followed the address in the letter the day after receiving the letter, and sure enough, he found Yingchun and his family, took them out of the residence overnight, and burned the house to ruins.

As for Yingchun and the others, under Liu Hu's arrangement, they quietly left the capital with Ling Ruo's note and went to Zhejiang, as long as Li Wei saw the note, he would help them change their names and surnames, and live with another life like Zhou Minghua. In order to prevent someone from following, Liu Hu also secretly followed for a few days to make sure that there was no one before turning back.

Liu Hu secretly found an opportunity to tell Yang Hai these words, and after hearing Yang Hai finish speaking, Ling Ruo finally put down a big stone hanging in his heart, "They have nothing to do, and this palace is finally at ease." ”

Yang Hai glanced at her and whispered: "Master, Liu Guard also heard something halfway, which was related to the fourth elder brother, and he asked the servant to tell the master on his behalf." ”

"Something to do with the Hongli?" Ling Ruo raised his eyes suddenly, Hongli lived in the deep palace, and there was no contact with the outside, so something could affect him.

Under Ling Ruo's gesture, Yang Hai said with a solemn expression: "Guard Liu said that he was in a small restaurant, and he heard someone saying that the reason why the fourth elder brother was able to take the first place in the ice competition was because he secretly moved his hands and feet, and the purpose of his doing this was because he coveted the position of the prince and wanted to replace the second elder brother. ”

"Ridiculous!" Ling Ruo slapped the table with an angry face and said sharply, "Who is the one who said such absurd words? Impatient to live? Take the second elder brother and replace it, hmph, when did the emperor appoint the second elder brother as the crown prince, why didn't the palace know what to do. ”

Yang Hai bowed and said: "The master is angry, it doesn't matter who started the rumors, the important thing is that the whole capital is talking about this matter right now, if you don't suppress it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." ”

Under his persuasion, Ling Ruo calmed down a bit, but he was still quite annoyed in his heart, and said coldly: "It's already spread all over the city, it's not easy to suppress it again." And if even the main palace is involved, things will only get worse. ”

Yang Hai said worriedly: "But if it goes down, once it reaches the emperor's ears, the servants are worried that it will be unfavorable to the fourth elder brother." ”

After Ling Ruo walked back and forth in the house a few times, he stopped and said: "The second elder brother kicked the door that day and lost the competition, and the most unwilling one is the queen. ”

Ling Ruo's heart was like a mirror, as Yinzhen passed away, her battle with the queen gradually changed from favor to the battle of the prince. Hongshi and Hongli, which one will be made the crown prince will determine their final victory or loss.

If Hongshi ascends the throne, Ling Ruo will definitely die, and vice versa.

"Master, what should we do now?" Yang Hai looked at Ling Ruo blankly, waiting for her to come up with an idea.

At that time, Ling Ruo had completely calmed down, only to see her squint her phoenix eyes, and said in the streamer that occasionally flashed her eyes: "You don't have to do anything, just let the rumors spread." ”

Yang Hai looked at Ling Ruo in amazement, he didn't expect to get such an answer, could it be that the master felt that he couldn't suppress the rumors, so he simply let it go?

Ling Ruo saw through Yang Hai's thoughts, and said casually: "Calm down and think about it carefully, can these rumors really hurt Hongli?" Seeing that Yang Hai still didn't react, she reminded: "Have you forgotten what the emperor promised Hongli?" ”

Yang Hai was also concerned about the chaos, but now that Ling Ruo mentioned it, he suddenly thought about it, and blurted out: "Did the master say that the emperor asked the fourth elder brother to learn to review the spring fold after returning to the palace?" ”

"It's not too stupid after all!" Ling Ruo glanced at him, folded his sleeves and sat down in the chair, his voice was like a pearl of jade, "The emperor's willingness to teach Hongli to review and review the folds means that the emperor intends to cultivate Hongli, and even has plans to make him the crown prince; On the contrary, the second elder brother has already reached adulthood, and the emperor has nothing else except for letting him receive an errand in the sixth department, and he is often dissatisfied with the second elder brother; The gap between the two can not be offset by a few rumors. ”

After her little push, Yang Hai fully understood, and said with a smile: "It's still the master who can see it thoroughly, which makes the slave admire." ”
