"This ......" Steward Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said a little reluctantly: "When Gonggong Yang left, Qi Jia's family was still alive. He could naturally tell lies, but when Qi Jiashi sent Yang Hai out, many people saw it, and there was no way to fulfill this lie.

"That's it." The corners of Ling Ruo's lips hooked slightly, and he looked at the Nala clan and said, "Niangniang, the concubine just asked Yang Hai to see how Qi Jia's family is doing in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and she didn't have any other intentions, she didn't expect that after Yang Hai left, she would suddenly be poisoned and die." Alas, if Yang Hai had stayed for a while longer, maybe there would have been no such thing. ”

Nala looked at Ling Ruo coldly, her hands clenched slightly in her sleeves, she was sure that Qi Jia's clan was killed by Niu Hulu's clan, but Niu Hulu's whole thing was done without leakage, and even she couldn't pick out the thorn for a while, after suppressing the anger in her heart, she said: "That's strange, who would it be if it wasn't Gonggong Yang?" ”

The Guerjia clan stroked the tortoiseshell armor in his hand and said casually: "Perhaps...... Maybe it's someone from the Internal Affairs Office, after all, there are hundreds of people there, and no one can guarantee it. ”

Seeing that the Guerjia clan was pulling the spearhead at the Internal Affairs Office, the Nala clan felt quite troubled, after all, she had something shady in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and if she found out about the head of the Zhong Steward, she would also be very troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, Nala said: "As far as this palace knows, Xu Changzai has always been kind to others, and this palace really can't imagine who would be so ruthless." ”

The Guerjia clan laughed, "Even the mother can't think of it, and the concubine doesn't know it." If Qi Jiashi was still alive, she would be able to ask a little, but unfortunately she died, so she could only ask in the underworld. ”

Nala frowned and said, "Then according to Concubine Jin's meaning, this matter is settled?" ”

Guerjia spread his hands and said: "The concubine doesn't know what to do, but the concubine really can't figure it out, unless everyone in the Internal Affairs Office is brought for interrogation, but even so, we may not be able to find out anything, after all, we don't have the ability to see through people's hearts." ”

Nala sighed: "Having said that, it is really a little unwilling to see the perpetrator go unpunished. ”

Ling Ruo said: "Although the Qi Jia clan is dead, the concubine will continue to investigate, and I believe that one day she will catch this perpetrator and let her atone for the blood stained on her hands." ”

Nala nodded with satisfaction, "Then the concubine will have to worry a lot." ”

"Niangniang is polite, all this is what a concubine should do." After Ling Ruo finished speaking, the Nala clan said to Xiao Ningzi: "This palace is a little tired, help this palace to go back." In addition......" His eyes fell on Xu's face, and he said pityingly: "Xu Changzai's pearls can't be used, and I will bring those pearls from the palace to Xu Changzai later." ”

Hearing this, the Xu clan hurriedly asked Zirong to help him up to thank him, and then sent the Nala clan away together with Ling Ruo and the others. After he left, Ling Ruo and the Guerjia clan also left the Yikun Palace after appeasing the Xu clan and telling her to be careful of anything they ate in their stomachs in the future, and took Qi Jia's body away and carried it to a place outside the palace to be buried.

On the way back, Ling Ruo said softly: "Sister, why did you say that Qi Jia's family was killed by someone just now, and directly said that she committed suicide in fear of crime, wouldn't it be more convenient?" ”

Guerjia smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" Are you worried that the queen will really grasp this point and check it out? She didn't dare, otherwise she would have checked it a long time ago. It was she who asked Xu Chang to put arsenic on the pearls, how dare she dismantle her own stage. At this point, she said, "I said I was going to borrow someone from you, and now it's almost time." ”

"Who does my sister want to borrow?" In the face of Ling Ruo's inquiry, the Guerjia clan spit out a name that surprised Ling Ruo, "Zhou Minghua! ”

Qi Jiashi didn't know how long she had been "dead", and when she woke up, she was on a bumpy carriage, and her internal organs seemed to be turned upside down, and there was ...... Why would she be in the carriage, even if she was taken out of the palace after her death, she should be in the capital.

Thinking of this, she crawled over and lifted the curtain of the car and shouted to the driver with his back to her, "Where are you going to take me?" Stop it! I'll tell you to stop! ”

The driver didn't stop, didn't even look back, just said: "The master has a life, send you to western Sichuan, and you will live the second half of your life there without worrying about food and clothing." ”

Qi Jiashi was stunned for a while before he reacted, and shouted, "No! I don't want to go to western Sichuan, I want to go back to the capital, you send me back immediately! ”

The driver didn't pay attention to her words at all, and still drove the carriage quickly, he was originally a person from Hongli, and he was ordered by Hongli to take this woman to western Sichuan, and he would never be allowed to return to Beijing.

Ling Ruo fulfilled his promise and let Qi Jia's family live without worry, but it was not as Qi Jia's thought it was. But in this way, it is indeed the best for her, because if she continues to stay in the palace or in the capital, with her temperament, there is only one way to die, just like Ping'er in the past.

Qi Jiashi screamed desperately, in exchange for being gagged and thrown in the carriage with his hands and feet tied, and the carriage was still driving all the way to western Sichuan......

Just three days after Qi Jia's departure, Hongshi knew that Xu was poisoned and almost died, and he was very worried, and wanted to visit, but because he had promised Nala's words, he wandered near Yikun Palace for a long time, and finally did not enter, but asked Wang Zhong to send a box of high-quality cordyceps.

When Wang Zhong put down his things and was about to leave, Xu suddenly said, "How is the second elder brother doing?" ”

Wang Zhong bowed his head and said, "Thank you Xu Chang for your concern, everything is fine with the second elder brother." ”

"That's good, Xie Lu Xie Second Elder Brother for me." Xu didn't know why he wanted to ask about this, whether Hongshi was good or not had nothing to do with her at all.

After Wang Zhong left, she opened the box containing Cordyceps sinensis, and unexpectedly found that there was a thin and shiny, white as jade Chengxintang paper in it, on which eight words were written: May Xu Chang be well as soon as possible.

There is no signature at the bottom, but Xu knows that this must be written by Hongshi, he has been poisoned for a few days, although Yinzhen also knows Lu Dao, but he just asked people to send some nourishing things, not even a word of inquiry, let alone come to Changyueju in person. On the contrary, it was Hongshi, who met him in Pingshui, and only met a few times, but he also specially asked people to send things over, and wrote these eight words.

Second Elder Brother ...... At that moment, a ridiculous thought flashed in Xu's mind, if she was not admitted to the palace in Yongzheng's five-year draft, but was given to the second elder brother, then everything would be different from now. At least...... She didn't have to stay alone in Changyue Ju like this, waiting endlessly for the king's summons. Hiroshi ...... It will definitely be a very good husband.

Unfortunately, she didn't have this blessing......
