Yinzhen also loves this sister a lot, and after she was kicked out of the palace, she visited her many times; It is difficult for the royal family to have family affection, and siblings and even parents may turn against each other. It is precisely because of this that family affection is precious, except for Yun Xiang, Jing Xue is one of his few sisters who can put some true feelings into it. Now she is begging with tears like this, and she even asks for the death-free gold medal given by Huang Ama, which makes Yinzhen's already wavering heart even more uncertain.

If it is relieved Rongyuan, then it must also be relieved Ling Ruo, in this way, where should the anger in his heart be released?

He could forgive Ling Ruo for concealing her previous relationship with Rong Yuan, but he must not allow her to break off her ties with Xu Rongyuan after she was given to her, and even do all kinds of shameless things, let alone mention Hongli...... Hongli ......

Thinking of Hongli, Yinzhen became more and more bored in his heart, and kept pacing back and forth in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The sun is gradually moving, from east to west, once the sun is empty, that is, at noon, the cannons will roar outside the city of Tongzhou, which will also be completely turned into a dead city, and no one will be left alive.

Tongzhou is going to die, Xu Rongyuan is going to die, and Ling Ruo is going to die!

Except for Yinzhen, everyone in the Heart Cultivation Hall knelt down and begged Yinzhen to be merciful and spare their lives for the time being.

To save, or not to save, has become a magic obstacle in Yinzhen's heart, and he has never been able to decide.

At that moment, the eight artillery pieces outside Tongzhou City gathered, and the commander of the firearms battalion guarding the artillery saw that the hour was approaching, and ordered all the gunners to start preparing and fire the artillery as soon as the hour came.

Mo said that he didn't know that there was a concubine Xi in Tongzhou City, even if he knew Lu Dao, the emperor's will could not be violated, and no one dared to disobey the king's order.

The eight gunners had their guns lit in their hands, and the shells were already loaded, and they only needed to ignite the exposed fuses to fire. At this critical moment, a large internal guard dressed in a yellow horse hexagram galloped over, holding the Ming and Huang holy decrees in his hand, passing on the emperor's order, postponing the cannon, and ordering the commander of the firearms battalion to take people into Tongzhou City to search for the traces of Concubine Xi Niangniang and Imperial Doctor Xu, and once found, they were immediately brought back to the palace.

The commander of the firearms battalion did not dare to ask why Concubine Xi, who was supposed to be in the harem, appeared in Tongzhou, but led the soldiers under him into the city to search, and when they entered the city, they were surprised by what they saw, there were corpses everywhere, and they were not infected with the plague and died, but were hacked to death by people, and they did not see a living person all the way.

They found Rong Yuan at the back door of a house, covered with scars, covered in blood, hideous and terrifying in several places, and they could even see the white bones inside.

Snorted, there was no breath, just as they were about to lift Rong Yuan, who was already dead, suddenly let out a rapid gasping sound, and then sat up from the stretcher suddenly, this corpse-like move, coupled with the blood on his face, saw that those soldiers had their hair standing on end one by one, their faces were colorless, they threw the stretcher, and ran away from the sky and did not dare to approach.

Rong Yuan just sat up and fell back again, but the breath in his nose never broke, and his eyes stared at the gray sky even wider.

Those soldiers hid for a while before slowly leaning over at the signal of the commander, probing their noses and touching their pulses, and finally confirmed that Rong Yuan was alive and not a corpse.

It turned out that when Rong Yuan was slashed and killed by those soldiers last night, he secretly sealed several of his acupoints first, slowing down his blood flow and slowing down his heartbeat, showing a state of suspended animation, in order to hide from the sky and the sea, and because of the lack of blood, although he had several serious injuries on his body, he was not injured to death.

After briefly treating him, the commander of the firearms battalion carried him into the palace to meet Yinzhen, who was waiting for a reply, who would have thought that he was as demented as a child, and no one could even remember his surname, let alone what happened in Tongzhou. After being examined by the Tai Hospital, his brain had been subjected to a violent concussion, which caused brain damage and loss of memory.

Yin Zhen was also surprised to see Rong Yuan injured like this, and the person who had only thought of it as a messenger did not stop the cannon in time, causing Rong Yuan to be injured. How do you know that after asking the commander of the firearms battalion, someone had already killed all the people in Tongzhou before them, and Rong Yuan was the only one left, but unfortunately his brain was damaged and he couldn't ask questions at all.

As for Ling Ruo, the firearms battalion searched the entire Tongzhou and found no trace, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Yin Zhen ordered people to secretly investigate Ling Ruo's whereabouts, and on the other hand, he tracked down those who killed people in Tongzhou, both of which could not be put on the surface, so there were very few people who knew the Tao.

However, after tracking for more than a month, no clues have been found, and the repeated lack of results has also made Yinzhen's mood worse and worse.

The longer he dragged on, the more worried he became, whether he was going to court or sleeping, he always felt that his heart was in mid-air, unable to keep his feet on the ground.

Yin Zhen woke up from his contemplation, and saw that Li Dequan was still kneeling, he couldn't bear it, and his tone was a little slower, "Get up, I'm in a hurry, I can't blame you for this, pour me a cup of tea." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Dequan trembled and got up, his old legs and arms trembled, and he couldn't help but tremble when he brought the tea to Yinzhen, and a few drops of tea slanted out of the cup and fell on the fold spread out on the case, and the handwriting stained by the water immediately became blurred.

"Damn it!" Li Dequan hurriedly lowered his head, trying to stabilize his hand, but the more he did this, the more he trembled.

Seeing this, Yin Zhen sighed and said, "Starting from Ming'er, you don't have to wait in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

Li Dequan was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down with the teacup, "The old slave deserves to die, the old slave deserves to die, beg the emperor to be magnanimous, read the old slave for the sake of serving with all his heart, open the net, and forgive the old slave's capital crime." ”

He thought that he had waited in front of the emperors of the two dynasties for so long, and he had already looked down on life and death, not to mention that he was already old and did not have many years to live. But at this time, I found that the older I get, the more afraid I am of death, especially this kind of horizontal death.

Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, took the teacup that shook his head and said, "Where do you want to go, when did I say I want your life." ”

Hearing this, Li Dequan suddenly raised his head and blurted out: "The emperor just said that there is no need for old slaves to wait." ”

"You have been in the palace for so many years, and you can be regarded as diligent, and now that you are old, it is time to enjoy the blessings. In the future, let Su Peisheng and Sixi take on the errand of the Heart Cultivation Palace, they have been with you for so many years, and it should be time for them to become a teacher. "Su Peisheng and Sixi are both Li Dequan's apprentices, but Su Peisheng didn't often wait in the Heart Cultivation Hall before, so few people knew about it.

When Li Dequan heard these words, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, he always thought that the current saint was far less benevolent than the previous emperor, so he acted and spoke with a thousand kinds of caution, lest saying the wrong word would lead to death.

But it turned out that he was wrong, today's saint seems to be cold and iron-blooded, but in fact, benevolence is not inferior to the first emperor, but he hides this benevolence deep in the deepest depths, and only shows it when facing the closest people.

Thinking of this, Li Dequan suddenly burst into tears, and said loudly: "The old slave thanks the emperor for his grace, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't shed your little bit of horse pee, I'm annoyed when I look at it." Yin Zhen waved his hand impatiently, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes, "I know that you have a house outside the palace, so I won't give this house separately, but I will still send you the moon silver for this errand as usual, and I will send it to you for one day when you live, until you die!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Dequan was so excited, he kowtowed again and again, and it was his misfortune to enter the palace as a eunuch, but it was his luck to be able to serve the first emperor, and it was his great luck to be able to serve the current saint!
