"But the slave maid is worried that even if Concubine Jin can't raise the sixth elder brother anymore, Concubine Xi will step in and take the sixth elder brother away."

Liu Shi smiled and said: "She wants to, but in this palace, there is still a queen in the end, and she can't cover the sky with one hand." ”

After the last rays of sunlight disappeared in the night, the whole land was enveloped in darkness, and the Forbidden City was also shrouded in that darkness.

Ling Ruo accompanied Yinzhen to review the chapters in the Heart Cultivation Palace, because of the urgent military situation at the border pass, Yinzhen had more excerpts to review than before, and he was often busy until late at night.

During the day, Congxiang had already handed her the small porcelain bottle containing the tea, and she asked her to take it out to Rong Yuan, so that he could carefully inspect it to see if the tea was strange.

After Yinzhen finished reading the last excerpt, Ling Ruo took the red pen from his hand and put it on the pen stand, "The concubine prepared lotus seed soup, the emperor ate some and then went to sleep, the emperor's stomach was not good, and he couldn't stand being hungry." ”

Yin Zhen nodded, and then said with some distress: "I said that you should go to sleep first, but I didn't listen, I had to accompany me until so late." ”

Ling Ruo asked people to bring the lotus seed soup to him, and said with a smile: "How many people want to accompany the emperor but can't, the concubines have this blessing, don't you have to hurry up and catch it?" ”

"You can always find all sorts of reasons." Yin Zhen smiled and took the lotus seed soup, knowing in his heart that Ling Ruo cared about himself, and this kind of care was everywhere, even the lotus seed soup in his hand, Ling Ruo knew that he didn't like to eat things that were too sweet, so he only put a little sugar to hook up the fragrance of lotus seeds, because the lotus hearts were carefully picked out one by one, so he didn't feel a trace of bitterness.

Halfway through eating, Xiao Wu walked in in a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Xianfu Palace sent someone to report that something happened to the sixth elder brother." ”

Yin Zhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Sixth elder brother? What happened to him? ”

Xiao Wu hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't know, the palace man just said that and went back, and the slave couldn't stop calling." ”

When Sixi heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "You kid, how can you be so unserious about doing things, where is it reasonable to make sense without asking clearly." After that, he bowed to Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the servants go to Xianfu Palace to see what happened to the sixth elder brother?" ”

"No need, I'll go over myself." Worried about Hongzhan, Yin Zhen immediately got up and walked out, Ling Ruo also went with him, and Sixi and Xiao Wu hurriedly followed with the lamp.

Normally, at this time, the lights of Xianfu Palace have long been extinguished, and only a small amount is left for lighting, but at this moment it is brightly lit.

When the palace people guarding the door saw Yin Zhen and Ling Ruo coming, they showed a look of surprise, as if they didn't expect them to come over at this time, and after they came back to their senses, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

The voice of the gatekeeper alarmed the people in the palace, and he walked out quickly, stepped forward with a hint of panic, and without waiting for her to salute, Yinzhen had already said: "What about the sixth elder brother, what happened to him?" ”

Facing Yinzhen's question, Congyi's body trembled for a moment, as if she was afraid of something, and then she bit her lip hard, squeezing out a smile that was not much better than crying, "If you go back to the emperor, nothing happened to the sixth elder brother, he has already rested." ”

Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Obviously, the people in your palace came to report to me, saying that something happened to Hongzhan, why did you say that it was okay, what is going on?" ”

Now it was Congyi's turn to be surprised, and said blankly: "The slave didn't send someone to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

Yin Zhen was worried about Hongzhan's safety at the moment, where did he have time to talk to her, and walked straight in, since Hongzhan was handed over to the Guarjia clan to raise, he would come here every once in a while, so he naturally knew where Hongzhan lived.

Congyi saw Yinzhen walk in, and the panic that was barely suppressed suddenly revealed again, but she didn't dare to stop Yinzhen, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Ling Ruo noticed Congyi's strangeness, and did not follow Yinzhen in, but stayed and said, "Congyi, what's wrong, is there really something wrong with the sixth elder brother?" ”

Nodding uneasily, she whispered: "Niangniang also knows that the master has been a little weird recently, but no matter how weird it is, she loves the sixth elder brother very much, but tonight I don't know what's going on, but it's ...... actually beat the sixth elder brother. ”

Ling Ruo was taken aback, she couldn't know more clearly than the Guerjia clan, she had always regarded Hongzhan as a parent, even if Hongzhan had contradicted her because she missed the Liu clan before, she had never touched a single hair of Hongzhan, but she was just patiently reasoning with him, how could she beat him?

Seeing Ling Ruo's shock, he said helplessly: "When the slave maid first heard the sixth elder brother crying and went in, she was also startled, and the master was still beating the sixth elder brother at that time, and the slave and Congxiang took a lot of effort to pull the master apart, and at that time, the slave and maid saw the master's eyes very terrifying, as if they had changed into a different person." Later, the master became very sad and wanted to hug the sixth elder brother, but the sixth elder brother was very scared, and he refused to let the master touch it, and the master became more and more sad and kept crying. The slaves and maids had just persuaded the master and the sixth elder brother to reconcile, but the emperor and the mother came over. ”

Ling Ruo struggled to digest what he heard, and then said, "You really didn't send someone to the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

Shaking his head in a hurry, "How dare the slave and maid take the initiative to say this kind of thing, let alone alarm the emperor, the emperor will definitely be furious when he sees the sixth elder brother like that." ”

As if to confirm the words of Congyi, there was the sound of Yinzhen's scolding and the sound of children crying in the hall, Ling Ruo hurriedly walked in, and as soon as he entered the inside, he saw Yinzhen holding Hongzhan who was crying, and Guerjia was standing aside, crying.

Ling Ruo stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong, see for yourself!" Yin Zhen pulled Hongzhan away from him a little, so that Ling Ruo could clearly see Hongzhan's cheeks.

And at the moment when he saw it clearly, Ling Ruo gasped, because Hongzhan had clear and red fingerprints on his face, that is, someone slapped him, this person ...... This person......

Ling Ruo turned his gaze to the Guerjia clan in disbelief, although he had already listened to a lot of things just now, but no matter how shocked he was to see it with his own eyes.

That palm was very strong, even the corners of the mouth were cracked, oozing shocking blood, Yinzhen stared at the Guerjia clan and said angrily: "Before the Liu family used Hongzhan, I sent him to the elder brother's office, and then you wanted to raise Hongzhan, I thought that you have been alone, and there are no heirs to follow, so I agreed, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, so heavy on a child, until now, Hongzhan's ears are still buzzing, not only that, but there are also injuries on the body, you ...... You are even more hateful than Liu! ”

This sentence fell on Guerjia's ears, causing her body to shake for a while, and she murmured, "Concubine...... The concubine didn't, the concubine regarded Hongzhan as her life, how could the concubine hurt him. ”
