On this day, Ling Ruo met Shuntian Mansion Yin outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the latter said with a bitter face: "Weichen asks for peace to the concubine Niangniang, the lady is auspicious." ”

Ling Ruo motioned for him to get up and said, "Lord Fu Yin looks like this, but it's for Hongshi's business?" ”

Shuntianfu Yin nodded with a wry smile and said: "Niang Niang Huiyan, the ministers have not been able to find Hongshi until now, which made the emperor Longyan furious, and ordered Weichen to find Hongshi within three days, otherwise he will take off the top of the minion." ”

Ling Ruo sighed lightly and said, "The emperor also wants to find Hongshi and save his chaotic party, you don't blame the emperor." ”

Shuntianfu Yin hurriedly said: "Niang Niang's words are serious, where does Weichen dare to blame the emperor, blame Weichen for being useless, I searched all over the capital and failed to find the trace of Hongshi, only Zhang Qian has found a trace, I really don't know where they are hiding, it seems that Weichen is really going to pack up his things and go back to the countryside this time." ”

"The capital is so big, it's easy to hide, but it's very difficult to find, this palace will tell the emperor, don't worry too much." Ling Ruo's words made Shuntian Mansion Yin overjoyed, and he hurriedly thanked him.

After he left, Ling Ruo entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and after saluting Yinzhen with a gloomy face, he stepped forward and said, "The concubine just heard from Shuntianfu Yin that the emperor ordered him to find Hongshi within three days?" ”

Yin Zhen said angrily: "Yes, I've been looking for so many days, and I haven't heard any news at all, and I don't know what so many people are doing, and I can't find anyone anymore, so he doesn't have to be the Shuntian Mansion Yin." ”

Ling Ruowen said: "The imperial doctor said that the most taboo thing for the emperor now is anger, and it is because the emperor has a strong liver fire recently, and his legs have not been healed for a long time. You, you always don't listen to the doctor. ”

"I know in my heart, in short, I must find Hongshi." Facing Yin Zhen's words, Ling Ruo was silent for a while and said, "Actually, the concubine suspects that Hongshi has already left the capital, otherwise how could he have been looking for so long and there is no news at all." ”

"Impossible! I have people guard the nine gates of the capital, and unless Honghong grows wings and flies over the city walls, it is absolutely impossible to leave the city. ”

"With so many people entering and leaving the city gate every day, it is difficult to look at them one by one, and it is not surprising that one or two occasionally slip through. Moreover, Hongshi is scheming, and no one knows what method he will use to get out of the city, just like Zhang Qian and they didn't expect Hongshi to hide in the water. ”

Yin Zhen frowned and said: "In this way, unless you send a sea fishing document, you won't be able to catch Hongshi?" ”

Ling Ruo nodded and said, "The concubine is also a guess, but it is indeed unlikely that Hongshi is still in the capital. ”

"I understand, I will ask the Criminal Department to issue a sea arrest document, and the whole country wants Hongshi." Speaking of this, Yin Zhen smiled astringently and said: "I really can't imagine that one day, I will send a sea fishing document to arrest my son, it's really ridiculous." ”

Ling Ruo was silent for a while and said, "Since the emperor still recognizes Hongshi's son, don't send a sea fishing document, and keep him alive." ”

Yin Zhen glanced at Ling Ruo in surprise and said, "Don't you hate Hongshi for harming Hongli several times?" ”

"The concubine naturally hated it, especially when she thought of Hongli almost dying in Fuzhou. But the concubines also didn't want to see the emperor embarrassed. In fact, at this point, Hongshi has nothing but those secret guards, the Nala clan is forbidden to the cold palace, the Nala clan has collapsed, he is like a duckweed with nowhere to rely on, he can't set off much wind and waves, spare his life, it's okay. Besides......" Ling Ruo showed a look of reminiscence, "Hongshi was still good when he was a child, and the reason why he became what he is now is because of the Nala clan, and speaking of which, he is also a poor person. The biological mother was killed by the Nala clan, but she recognized the thief as her mother. ”

Yin Zhen sighed heavily, obviously feeling quite sad in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's a pity that Hongshi's life can't be spared." ”

Yin Zhen's extremely resolute attitude surprised Ling Ruo a little, and he only listened to Yin Zhen say: "Although Hongshi really has nowhere to rely on now, with my understanding of him, he will not stop there, he will definitely find a way to take advantage of the situation, and then come to recapture this qiē." Maybe a year, maybe 10 years, 20 years. It's okay if I'm down, for Hongli and even the Qing Dynasty, this is a very dangerous person, and we must find a way to find him. ”

"But the emperor ......" Ling Ruogang said a few words, and Yinzhen said: "I said that he is no longer my son, and even if he does, it is only in the bloodline, in my heart, in the clan, he is not, you don't need to worry." ”

Seeing him say this, Ling Ruo didn't ask any more questions, and instead said, "By the way, because of so many things that happened before, the draft has been delayed until now, otherwise it would not be the same thing to let those show girls stay in Zhongcui Palace." ”

Yin Zhen didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Let's send it all home, it's enough for me to have you by my side, there is no need to draft into the palace again." And the more people in the palace, the more things there are, it's better to keep it simple, and there are some ill-intentioned people who want to harm you when you can save it. From now until the 100th anniversary of me, I don't have to do the draft anymore. ”

Yin Zhen could think of her like this, Ling Ruo was moved in her heart, but she still said: "But the triennial draft is a rule set by the ancestors, and the emperor said that if he doesn't choose, he won't choose, but I'm afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the hundred officials." ”

Yin Zhen snorted coldly and said, "When will it be their turn to point fingers about my affairs." Besides, the draft is also a matter of labor and money, and now that the imperial court is recuperating, try to save some if you can. There are also those show girls, staying in the palace is just a lonely old age, rather than this, it is better to let them go home and get married. ”

Ling Ruo nodded and said, "The concubines understand what the emperor meant, but this time the show girls are already in the Zhongcui Palace, and it would be really not good if they were sent back like this." ”

Hearing her say this, Yin Zhen chuckled and said, "Why do I listen to what you mean, do you have to choose a few show girls to enter the palace, what's the matter, are you tired of me all day long?" ”

Ling Ruo pursed her lips and smiled: "The concubine said that she wanted to live and die with the emperor, how could she be bored, the concubine remembered the twenty-third elder brother Yunqi, he is now nineteen years old, but he has never married the concubine Fujin, just take advantage of this draft to choose a good one for him, otherwise it will not be a matter if it continues like this." ”

was mentioned by her like this, Yinzhen also thought about it, stroked his forehead and said: "You are still careful, I am about to forget, when Huang Ama passed on the throne at the end of his life, Aqina and others deliberately confused Huang Amma's last words, only Yun Qi said a fair word for me, this kindness, I should return it to him." After a pause, he said: "In this way, you choose a virtuous and virtuous concubine for him, and after he gets married, I will canonize him as the prince of Zhenguo, so that he can enjoy the glory of a lifetime." ”

Ling Ruo bowed and said, "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”
