Ling Ruo's words were so speechless that he asked, and at this time, Yin Zhen said again: "Ruo'er, I know that the old seventeen of the Dao Dao has a life-saving grace for you, but one thing is one thing, and you still don't interfere in the affairs of Concubine Qin." ”

"The concubine can ignore the affairs of the concubine, but she can't ignore the affairs of the emperor." Ling Ruo's words made Yinzhen very puzzled, "I? What's wrong with me? ”

"Although the emperor has more than 20 brothers, but the closest ones are the thirteenth master and the seventeenth master, do you really want to break off the brotherhood with the seventeenth master for this matter?"

Ling Ruo's words made Yin Zhen frown, and after a while, he said a little stiffly: "If Old Seventeen really wants to be like this, I can also let him." ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Seventeenth Master doesn't care if you take away the position of the concubine, he just hopes that the emperor can withdraw the will to make a monk, so that he can continue to serve under the concubine's knees, so that the concubine can enjoy his old age in peace. The seventeenth master is a filial son, why didn't the emperor fulfill him? ”

Yin Zhen's heart moved, but he still forced himself to be cold-hearted, "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, I can't ignore the national laws and family rules in vain because of a courtesy." ”

"This is not in vain to ignore the laws and regulations of the country, but to attach importance to love and righteousness, and ask the emperor for mercy!" Speaking of this, Ling Ruo knelt on his knees in front of Yinzhen.

Yin Zhen's eyelids jumped, leaned over and helped Ling Ruo up, "What are you doing, get up." "Anyone's kneeling and worshipping Yinzhen can be taken for granted, but Ling Ruo's cannot.

Ling Ruo bowed his head and said, "The concubine just wants to ask the emperor to fulfill the filial piety of the seventeenth master." ”

Yin Zhen shook his head and said with a hint of helplessness: "It seems that if I don't agree, you won't give up?" ”

Ling Ruo heard the looseness in his words, and said happily: "So, the emperor agreed?" ”

"It's not." Yinzhen's denial made Ling Ruo stunned, and when he was disappointed, Yinzhen said again: "I can't pardon Concubine Qin, nor can I let Yunli take it on her behalf, but I can use another punishment to replace the punishment of becoming a monk, it only depends on whether Concubine Qin is willing or not." ”

In Ling Ruo's puzzled gaze, he got up and said, "Although I have stripped Concubine Qin's title and position, she is still Yunli's biological mother, for Yunli's sake, if she dies one day, I will still bury her in the imperial tomb." ”

Hearing this, Ling Ruo already understood, "Does the emperor mean that the punishment of becoming a monk is replaced by not entering the imperial tomb after death?" ”

Yin Zhen bowed her head and said: "Yes, if Concubine Qin agrees, she can stay in Prince Guo's mansion and not go to Hui'an Temple, but from now on, she is no longer a royal person, she is not recognized when she is alive, and she cannot enter the imperial mausoleum after death." From now on, in the history books, except for the 'Seventeenth Elder Brother's biological mother', there will be no more words about her. ”

Ling Ruo was silent, no matter how you look at it, this punishment is heavier than that of a monk, the only advantage is that you don't have to suffer anything when you are born, and you can continue to stay in the palace and stay by Yunli's side.

However, she can also understand Yinzhen's intention to do this, Tu Lichen is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is extremely stubborn, this matter is handled by him, if Yinzhen suddenly exempts Concubine Qin from the punishment of becoming a monk, it will definitely cause him dissatisfaction, and then I don't know how big a problem will be, only with a heavier punishment can he stop his mouth.

Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said, "The concubine can't be the master of this matter, so the emperor might as well let Sixi send a message to ask." ”

Yin Zhen nodded, and then said: "But you also have to promise me one thing, no matter what choice Concubine Qin makes in the end, you can't intercede for her, understand?" ”

"The concubine understands." Ling Ruozhi said that his request today made Yinzhen very embarrassed, and he would not say anything more.

On the other side, after Tu Lichen returned to the mansion, Hongshi was already waiting there, and when he saw Tu Lichen coming back, he hurriedly said, "Boss, how are things?" ”

Tu Lichen didn't speak, and after ordering the steward to take Ping'er and the others down, he said: "The old man has something to say to the prince, please move to the study." ”

His overly indifferent attitude made Hongshi very strange, how did he feel that when he entered the palace, Tu Lichen seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person.

Strange and strange, he still politely agreed, and then accompanied Tu Lichen to the study, after the next person served tea, Tu Lichen said: "The old man took Ping'er into the palace today to see the emperor, under the testimony of Ping'er and Concubine Qin's maid Hongying, the emperor has believed that everything is the mastermind of Concubine Qin, and has nothing to do with the queen's mother, although the emperor has not issued an edict to release the queen's mother's grounding, but it should be a matter of these days." ”

Hongshi's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you so much for this incident, the kindness of the boss, Hongshi ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tu Lichen raised his hand and said, "I'll talk about these words later, and ask the prince to answer the old man for some confusion." ”

Hongshi frowned slightly, and said, "Boss, please speak." ”

"In that incident, was the queen innocent and wronged, or is it really the truth?" Tu Lichen's words shocked Hongshi, and he also understood the reason for his abnormal look, and hurriedly said: "Why did the boss say this, the emperor was naturally wronged, how could it really be true." ”

Tu Lichen said bitterly: "At this time, does the prince still have to lie to the old man?" Hongying beside Concubine Qin has already said everything, yes, Concubine Qin did instruct Ping'er to defect, but it was no more, she didn't do anything to add fuel to the vinegar, let alone wronged the queen, everything Ping'er said in Kunning Palace was true, the queen did have the intention of murdering Concubine Xi and Prince Guo at that time, but she was wrong in the end, so she ended up harming herself! ”

Hongshi naturally knew these things very well, but he never imagined that Tu Lichen would know about them, seeing that Tu Lichen's expression was gradually becoming excited, he hurriedly said: "Boss, don't listen to a girl's nonsense, how could the emperor do such a thing, it must be ......."

"What must be? Lord, the old man is indeed old, but he is not stupid, you don't know anything about this matter at all, so you don't want to bring Ping'er to the emperor by yourself, but ask the old man to come out of this, you ...... You're just taking advantage of the old man! Speaking of the back, Tu Lichen paused with his cane and made a loud noise.

Seeing this, Hongshi hurriedly persuaded: "The boss is angry, yes, I know about this matter, and I deliberately concealed it and didn't tell the boss, but I am also forced to be helpless, please forgive me." ”

Hearing Hongshi's admission, the pain in Tu Lichen's eyes deepened, and he asked again and again: "What is it for, why is the queen going to harm Concubine Xi, she is already the queen of the dynasty, what is there not to be satisfied with?" ”
