Ruliu took a deep breath and said in a clearer voice than just now: "The slave said that if the master harms the seventh elder brother's dislike, then you also have it!" ”

"You...... Licentious! Liu said angrily: "The seventh elder brother is the meat that fell from the palace, how could the palace harm him!" You slave dare to talk nonsense here and wronged this palace, you really should be beaten, come on, drag this slave down and beat him to death! ”

"Wait." Ling Ruo's eyes flashed, and he opened his lips and said, "Concubine Qian, don't be bored, wait until everything is cleared before making a decision." ”

"Yes." Although Liu couldn't wait to kill Ruliu immediately and save her from continuing to talk nonsense here, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Yinzhen and Ling Ruo, so he had to hold back the anger in his heart and bow his head and remain silent.

Seeing that Liu didn't speak, Ling Ruo turned his head and said, "Ruliu, Concubine Qian is the biological mother of the Seventh Elder Brother, why do you suspect that she killed the Seventh Elder Brother?" ”

When the master asked why the seventh elder brother died suddenly, the nurse and Yushan both mentioned it in unison, and the concubine Niangniang had sent them out of the city on the grounds of changing clothes and wiping her body, that is to say, only Qian Concubine Niangniang and Jin Gu who were waiting for her were in it, and this period of time was enough for her to kill the seventh elder brother. If there are no ghosts in the hearts of the concubines, why do you need to deliberately send them away? After that, she kowtowed vigorously and said, "Niangniang, the nurse and Yushan are here, if you don't believe the slaves, you can ask them in person." ”

Liu Shi angrily pointed at Ruliu and said: "It's just nonsense, this palace saw that the clothes of the seventh elder brother were saliva**, so I ordered them to go down and get clean clothes and warm water, how did you get your mouth, it became that this palace deliberately sent them, and besides, what reason does this palace have to harm his own son." ”

"In order to marry the concubine!" Shu Mulu said this with an expressionless face.

The panic flashed away in Liu's eyes, and his face said bitterly: "Shu Mulu, how can you have the face to say such a thing, I have always respected you and been close to you, and I regard you as my sister-in-law." After giving birth to Hongzhan and Hongxun, I begged the emperor even more to let Hongxun pass on to you, so that I could fulfill what I promised you. I asked myself that I was sorry for you, but what about you? You not only killed Hongxun, but also said such hurtful words, do you have a conscience! ”

"The one who has no conscience is you!" Shu Mulu's expression was even more sad than Liu's, "Yes, you used to treat me well, but that was before I was inferior to you, and then you saw that I was deeply favored by the emperor, so you began to be jealous and hold a grudge." You don't want me to cross you, you don't want me to be on an equal footing with you, so you set up such a poisonous plan, pretending to pass on the seventh elder brother to me, but you really want to kill the seventh elder brother while I am unprepared, and then blame me for the crime, so that I will be sent to the cold palace in the name of murdering the emperor's heir, and even go to death, and I will no longer be able to threaten your status. Am I right? ”

The horror in Liu's heart is beyond words, except for Hongxun's congenital deficiency and the fact that he will die in two months, Shu Mulu guessed almost everything. In this case, it can be guessed that this woman is really terrible. And this also made up Liu's determination to put Shu Mulu to death, once this woman finds a chance to fight back, she will be in trouble.

Thinking like this, she knelt down and sobbed: "Niangniang, you are the one who is the mother, you should understand what the child means to a mother, if you can be reborn now, the concubine will not hesitate to sacrifice her life." But Shu Mulu said that the concubine killed her own child to blame her, and also said that the concubine had bad intentions from the beginning...... "Speaking of this, she couldn't cry, as if she had been greatly wronged, and after a while, Fang calmed down and said: "The concubine doesn't know how she has such a vicious idea, but if it is really the concubine who killed Hongxun, how dare the concubine hold Hongxun now?" ”

Guerjia frowned lightly and said: "These two people, one can speak more than the other, and I don't know which one is true and which is false; Instead of listening to them accusing each other here, it is better to check the seventh elder brother first to see how he died. ”

Guerjia's words reminded Ling Ruo, turned to Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I can't tell whether it's true or false for a while, so it's better to ask the imperial doctor to find out the cause of Seventh Elder Brother's death first." ”

"It's fine." Yin Zhen nodded, and said to Sixi who was accompanying him: "Go and ask Imperial Doctor Qi to come over." ”

"Huh!" Sixi agreed, and hurriedly went to the Tai Hospital to invite Imperial Physician Qi, Imperial Physician Qi took Hongxun in the chair, untied the swaddling clothes on his body and examined it carefully, and said: "If you go back to the emperor and Concubine Xi, there is a bruise on the neck of the seventh elder brother, and his face is faintly bruised, so he should have been strangled to death." Before he finished speaking, Liu had already hugged Hongxun's cold little body and cried mournfully, crying while muttering: "My poor child, it was Eniang who hurt you!" ”

Just as Yinzhen showed a sad look on his face, Imperial Physician Qi said again: "However, Weichen also sent a strange place, that is, on the seventh elder brother, there are a few traces of bruises, which should have been pinched out." ”

These words were completely unexpected by Yinzhen and others, and even Ling Ruo was surprised, this situation means that the seventh elder brother had been abused before he died, and the Liu family had already passed the child to the Shu Mulu clan, and there was no reason or opportunity to abuse Hongxun again, could it really be the Shu Mulu clan?

After the initial suspicion, Yin Zhen stared at Shu Mulu and said bitterly: "You said that you took care of Hongxun in every way, then you told me, where did the bruises on his body come from?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know what to do." Shu Mulu had thought about checking the cause of Hongxun's death before, but because Yinzhen suddenly arrived, he didn't have time to check it, so he naturally didn't see these scars.

Without waiting for Yinzhen to speak, Ruliu suddenly stepped forward on his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow the slave maid to ask Imperial Doctor Qi a word?" ”

Yin Zhen didn't speak, only waved her hand and signaled her to ask, Ruliu thanked her and turned to Imperial Doctor Qi and said, "Dare to ask Imperial Doctor, do you think the scars on Seventh Elder Brother's body are new or old?" ”

"This ......" Imperial Physician Qi thought back to the scars he had seen just now, and said, "The marks are very new, they shouldn't be old wounds." ”

"In other words, there are only new injuries on the seventh elder brother, and there are no old injuries?" After nodding affirmatively from Imperial Physician Qi, she kowtowed to Yinzhen again and said: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Elder Brother has been coming to Shui Yixuan for a while, if the master really wants to abuse the Seventh Elder Brother and even harm him, why did he treat each other with kindness before, and only today did he suddenly inflict poisonous hands, this is not reasonable at all!" ”
