Chapter 2159: Exchange
"No one knows what will happen after death, this palace only knows, now there is a way to live in front of you, as long as you open your mouth, you will not have to suffer this kind of torture in the future."
Nala said: "Hmph, now it sounds good, when the palace tells the matter of Hongshi, he will immediately turn his face and deny it, and he will still torture the palace with meditation incense every day, until he dies!" β
After she finished speaking, Ling Ruoliang said in a cold voice: "Whether you believe it or not, this palace will abide by what has been said and will never regret it!" β
Nala endured the discomfort on his body and hesitated, "You...... Are you telling the truth? β
Ling Ruo heard the wavering in her words, and immediately said, "As long as what you say is true, this palace will follow what you just said." β
"Okay, this palace sues you." Nala wiped his face vigorously, stood up tremblingly, and said with a sloppy look: "Hongshi has gone to Tsarist Russia now, and he has persuaded Tsarist Russia that he will wage war against the Qing Dynasty this year, and he asked the dark dove to come to the palace, first, to see how the palace is doing in the cold palace, and second, to sue the palace about this matter." Other than that, there's not much more. β
Ling Ruo guessed that Hongshi would not stop there, but he never thought that Hongshi would collude with Tsarist Russia so frantically in order to take revenge, intending to provoke a war again.
After a moment of silence, Ling Ruo said, "Is it just for this that the dark dove entered the palace?" Nala, the premise of this palace to keep the promise is that you tell the truth, if there is deception or concealment, then this promise has no meaning. Or...... You want to try the taste of double the tranquility incense. β
Nala's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...... You can't do this. She knew in her heart that the greater the amount of meditation incense, the greater the harm to the body, and the more beneficial the addiction would be, in other words, the pain she suffered now would be magnified several times, and that kind of discomfort was simply not something that people could bear.
Ling Ruo said: "Since you don't want to, I'll tell the palace honestly, what did Hongshi ask the dark dove to bring." β
Nala gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll sue you!" Hongshi has a heart for the use of Tsarist Russia, once both Tsarist Russia and the Great Qing are defeated, he will find a way to take the Great Qing, he looks for the main palace, is to hope that the main palace can help persuade the Chinese military officials of the dynasty at that time, so that he can ascend the throne as emperor! β
"Enthroned as emperor...... What a careless ambition he had! Saying this, Ling Ruo's expression was never more solemn, Hongshi was not an ambitious person, from the fact that he knew how to use Tsarist Russia to deal with the Qing Dynasty, it could be seen that he did have the scheming to support this ambition.
Nala said in a trembling voice: "I have already told you everything I know, I really don't know about other things, and the dark dove didn't tell me much." β
Ling Ruo ignored her, just walked out quickly, this matter is related to the safety of the Qing Dynasty, she must do her best to tell sΓΉ Yinzhen.
Seeing her leave, the Nala clan stumbled out and screamed: "Niu Hulu clan, don't forget what you promised me, if you dare to break your promise, I will curse you for the rest of your life!" β
Ling Ruo paused, and did not look back, but said to Shui Xiu: "In the future, there is no need to send Jingxin Xiang to the cold palace, in addition, the palace people who were originally responsible for guarding the Nala clan, leave two, and the rest will all go back to the Internal Affairs Mansion." β
Shui Xiu agreed, but also a little unwillingly: "Master, do you really want to let her go?" She has harmed so many people, and she has only tortured her for four years, and the slave maid thinks that she is really cheap. β
"These four years of torture are no different from forty years to her, and since this palace has spoken it, she cannot go back, unless she is telling a lie. Alright, let's do what Hongu says. β
After leaving Shui Xiu to deal with the cold palace, Ling Ruo quickly went to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he got there, he learned that Yinzhen was summoning the minister.
Ling Ruo was about to go to the side hall to wait, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and several officials walked out from inside, seeing that Ling Ruo was stunned, he bowed a little strangely, and then left in a hurry.
As soon as Ling Ruo walked into the main hall, he saw Yinzhen covering his mouth and coughing, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong, does it matter?" Seeing that Yinzhen was coughing and speechless, he hurriedly said: "Sixi, go and invite the imperial doctor, and also invite the imperial physician Xu to the palace." β
Yin Zhen grabbed her hand and shook her head, and after calming down, she said, "I'm fine, but my throat is suddenly a little itchy, so I coughed a few times, don't worry too much." β
"It's okay." What Ling Ruo is most afraid of now is Yinzhen coughing up blood, he has been raising it in the Old Summer Palace for so long before he can barely stop it, if he relapses again as soon as he returns to the palace, then his previous efforts will be in vain.
"The rumors, don't worry, I have already told those ministers that everything is the will of my order, and it has nothing to do with you, but the brute of Hongshi sent people to infiltrate the palace people, and sent people to spread rumors in the capital, which is the most hateful." The more Yin Zhen spoke, the more angry he became, and he patted the handrail vigorously and said hatefully: "I will issue an order to all prefectures and counties to hurry up and round up later, and we must do our best to catch Hongshi." β
"Your Majesty, Hongshi is no longer in the Qing Dynasty." Ling Ruo's words made Yin Zhen stunned, and he immediately asked, "Did you ask something from the mouth of the Nala clan?" β
"Yes, according to the Nala clan, Hiroshi has now gone to Tsarist Russia and gained the trust of the Tsar, and will wage war against the Qing Dynasty again this year."
Before Ling Ruo's words fell, Yin Zhen was already furious, "Beast! Brute! For his own selfish anger, he actually provoked a war like this, does he know how many innocent people will die in the war, this is all human life, he doesn't care? And besides, what's in it for him? β
"Hongshi wants to take advantage of the defeat of the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia to seize the Qing Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor himself." Ling Ruo's words caused Yin Zhen to sneer, "Ascend the throne as emperor? He is no longer a prince, what qualifications does he have to be the emperor, and besides, how can he take the Qing Dynasty if he wants to. β
"Specifically, the Nala clan doesn't know, but according to the concubine's understanding of Hongshi, he is not a reckless person, and he must have a corresponding plan, so he must be guarded against. Moreover, no matter whether he has the means to take away the Qing Dynasty, a battle between us and Tsarist Russia is inevitable, and we should prepare as soon as possible. β
Yin Zhen nodded, and said to himself: "If I had killed him early, where would there be so many things now, and I would not have given him the opportunity to instigate Tsarist Russia to start a war." β
Ling Ruo said softly: "After all, he is the emperor's heir, and the emperor has grown up with his own eyes, it is reasonable for him to be ruthless, and the emperor does not have to blame himself." β
Yin Zhen shook his head and said astringently: "That's it, don't talk about this, Sixi, when Prince Chuanguo and Prince Bao enter the palace, they will say that I have something important to discuss." β
