Chapter 1905: Returning in vain
Xiao Wu said in embarrassment: "If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother is still waiting outside, and she refuses to go back no matter how much the servants persuade her." ”
Yin Zhen put down her hand and said with a little displeasure: "If she wants to wait, let her wait, don't pay attention to it." "Anyway, I don't pay attention to this matter, and I opened the fold that has not yet been reviewed and looked at it carefully, this look is the middle of the night, and when all the reviews are completed, it is nearly three watches.
Yinzhen put down the pen, got up after taking a sip of tea and moved some stiff hands and feet, the vermilion temple door was not closed, there was an autumn wind blowing in with fallen leaves, when the wind ended, the withered yellow leaves happened to fall at the feet, when bending down to pick it up, Yinzhen inadvertently saw a faint figure standing outside from the gap in the temple door, his heart moved, and called Xiao Wudao: "Has the queen gone back?" ”
After seeing Xiao Wu shaking his head, his expression changed several times, and finally calmed down, and walked out of the hall with his steps, and the Nala clan, who had been waiting outside, heard the footsteps, and quickly cheered up, and after seeing that it was Yinzhen, he bowed his head and bent his knees, "The concubine sees the emperor, and the emperor is auspicious." ”
"No courtesy." After the Nala clan stood up straight, Yinzhen said, "You know all about Yingge?" ”
Nala said with a sad face: "Yes, the concubine heard about it, and asked Xiao Ningzi to go out to inquire, he said that the Guogong Mansion has been copied, Yingge is imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and Ama has also been taken to the palace by Hongshi." The concubine never imagined that he would do such a thing. ”
Yin Zhen said indifferently: "Whether you can think of it or not, he has already done it, this is a fact." ”
Nala raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "The concubine knows that the concubine is here to ask the emperor, what do you plan to do with Yingge?" ”
Yinzhen carried a touch of coldness deeper than the autumn wind, "Leaking the test questions, murdering my brother, and causing chaos to the court; These three are all Inge's sins, what do you think I should do with him? ”
Hearing this, the Nala clan hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine knows that Yingge deserves to die, but she also asks the emperor to spare his life for the sake of him who is just confused for a while, and has done his best for the Qing Dynasty before." ”
Yin Zhen looked down at her and said word by word: "Queen, you have been by my side for thirty years, if it is an ordinary request, I will agree, but this time, Yingge is really too wrong, if I spare him, how can I explain it to the world?" ”
The concubine knew that this request made the emperor very embarrassed, but the concubine had already lost a Honghui and didn't want to lose her relatives again. There is also Amma, he is already dying of old age, and he has a few years to live, can the emperor really bear to let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? Speaking of the back, Nala wept uncontrollably.
"The white-haired man sends the black-haired man ......" Yin Zhen muttered and repeated: "Feiyangu has made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and he was also deeply relied on by the emperor, but unfortunately he was injured and couldn't even walk. ”
As soon as he heard this, Nala took the opportunity to say: "In this world, only the two of them are left who are connected by blood with the concubines, and if Inge dies, Amma will definitely not be able to bear the blow, and the illness will be worse, and if they all go, only the concubines will be left alone in the world." Your Majesty, please remember the love between husband and wife for many years and the fact that Amma has made a lot of contributions, and leave Yingge with his life. ”
In the face of her plea, Yinzhen seemed to be moved, bent down to help her up, and said, "You won't be alone, because even if Yingge and Feiyangu are gone, there are still me and Hongshi." ”
"Your Majesty......" Yinzhen's words made Nala feel very bad, as if ......
Without waiting for her to think about it, Yinzhen had already said again: "The ancestors set the rules, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics; As the head of the six palaces, the queen should be more physically active. ”
"The concubine knows the family law of the ancestors, so she never dared to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but Yingge is the younger brother of the concubine, and she has had a very good relationship with the concubine since she was a child. There is a growing panic in Nala's heart, until now, Yinzhen refuses to let go, could it be that he really wants to put Yingge to death? No, she must find a way to save Inge.
"This qiē is not what I want to see, but if Inge has to commit such a murderous disaster, I can't help it." After a pause, he said again: "I will let the Criminal Department act according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, whether he lives or dies is determined by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, not me!" ”
If it was just panic just now, then now it is completely scared, if it is sentenced by the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, Yingge will be suspicious, Yinzhen ...... Is he really so ruthless?
Yin Zhen didn't give Nala another chance to speak, "The autumn night is cold, the queen should go back." ”
"The concubine retired." Nala forcibly resisted the urge to beg again, she is a very good person who can observe words and feelings, although Yinzhen's tone has always been relatively flat, but her attitude is extremely firm, and she refuses to let go.
After the Nala clan left, Yinzhen sighed and turned to leave, but instead of returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he went to the Chengqian Palace.
Along the way, the night was as deep as ink, and it was clear that Xiao Wu had been carrying a lamp to lead the way in front, but Yinzhen had a feeling that he couldn't see his five fingers, until he stepped into the Chengqian Palace and saw Ling Ruo, who was still sewing clothes with his head down, that he felt a glimmer of light.
Yin Zhen pulled Ling Ruo up and said gently, "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”
"Didn't the emperor sleep either?" After Ling Ruo replied with a smile, he looked down and said, "The concubine heard that the British public prisoner was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and this matter is still related to the autumn festival presided over by Hongli. The concubines couldn't rest assured, they wanted to go over to have a look, but they were afraid of disturbing the emperor's affairs, so they could only wait here, thinking that if the emperor came over, she would talk to the emperor. ”
Yin Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Then if I don't come all the time, do you have to stay like this until dawn?" ”
Ling Ruoying smiled and said: "One night is one night, it's not a big deal, by the way, you can do a good job of this dress, but the emperor are you okay?" ”
Yin Zhen sighed, sat down in the chair and explained the matter roughly, "Before, you took those test questions to me, I thought it was just someone who made fake test questions and wanted to make some money here, but I didn't expect such a big incident to happen in the end. ”
Ling Ruo was silent for a while and said, "The Nala clan is deeply favored by the emperor, and it is not the only glory in this capital, but it is almost the same, I can't imagine that Yingge is still not satisfied." ”
"He was blinded by power, and where would he be content. Right, sometimes it's really hurtful to think about it, if there is a choice, I would rather not have the power in my hands, so that I can end up at ease, and I don't have to worry about someone to calculate me. Yin Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, although there were some negative elements, but it was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
