"This thing was found on an ancient tree half a mile away from the edge of the cliff, and it was nailed to it by a branch.

Open the envelope,

It contained a twig and a piece of tissue paper that appeared to be a letter.

took it out and unfolded it, and there was really a hole in the middle of it, which should be left by the branch passing through, which confirmed what Ling Xiang said.

This is indeed an epistle,

After reading the above words, the Queen Mother's face became more and more solemn and embarrassed, and her fingers that stained Kodan tightly grasped the letter paper, trembling slightly.

And her eyes trembled together,

Shocked, surprised, terrified, angry, incredulous.

Several emotions are intertwined, and I don't know how to react for a while. The Queen Mother clasped the letter on the table, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of time, and also calmed herself down and was able to alienate clearly.

When you open your eyes again,

Xu Xu said:

So Ling Xiang thought that if this belief was true. The 'general' in the mouth of the village chief, the traitor who colluded with the Western Xia to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and the initiator of the emperor's assassination, is the general who is on the border at the moment, Bai Yi? ”

"What the Queen Mother said is not right."

Ling Xiang raised his eyes,

"It's not 'if this letter is true,' but the seal at the end is enough to confirm it. There is only one of this general's seals in the world, and it is in Bai Yi's hands. From the content of the letter, it can be seen that it is about the transaction of the defense of the map, but it was not found that the map was only a letter. The emperor is meticulous, and he will do everything he can to leave behind at the critical moment, which is naturally the most important and key evidence in his opinion. ”

In the heart of the Queen Mother, she couldn't say that what Ling Xiang said was unreasonable, and she looked at the letter again, and for a while, she couldn't believe that Bai Yi, who had been loyal to the three generations of loyal ministers, would do something to kill the king.

"Why is such important evidence buried here, and it happens to involve the emperor, this is too much of a coincidence, doesn't the prime minister think it's suspicious."

She questioned.

"Back to the Queen Mother, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime, and Bai Yi will definitely be extremely careful. At that time, no one in the whole country would go to the safest place, and the safest place was Huaixia, which was starving and desolate all over the wilderness after the disaster, and burying things there was indeed a safe way for others to think of. Besides, that place is not much away from the border and the imperial capital, no matter from that aspect, it is very suitable. ”

The rhetoric must have been thought of before, Ling Xiang did it in one go, neither humble nor arrogant, but it was unconvincing:

"Besides, the emperor went out of the palace to Huaixia this time, and even Weichen didn't know in advance, and what the village chief said happened a month or two ago, although it's hard to believe, but it seems to be a coincidence, if it weren't for the emperor, I'm afraid that now these things are in the hands of the enemy country, and the people of Daqi's mountains and rivers will also fall into unpredictable dangers."

The Queen Mother was silent,

But it did waver.

So what the prime minister means is that all this can only be explained by coincidence. The emperor was slightly subdued to Huaixia, so the person who buried the things was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he sent a killer, and it was already a trap from the beginning of setting fire to the village, whether the emperor was aware of it or not, he was moved to kill. ”

"The Queen Mother-If you look at the fire, you don't need to explain too much at all."

Ling Xiang bowed and said in a deep voice.

“……”

There was another silence,

The Queen Mother suddenly turned her gaze back to the village chief again,

"You said before that the emperor went to the top of the mountain with two people, who those two people were, but remember."

The village chief nodded, 652 Literature Network

"Back to the Queen Mother, the grass people remember that a woman, some people call her 'Guifei Niangniang', and another man, Guifei Niangniang, seems to have called him, 'brother'."

***

The candle has been burned to a short distance, and in the Taihe Palace, the Queen Mother sat alone in her position, stunned.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother."

Aunt Rui called softly.

“……”

The Queen Mother did not answer, did not even move, after experiencing the pain of losing a child deep into the bone marrow, she transitioned to a stage of reacting to all loss of feeling, and did not shed any more tears, only a death-like silence.

"Ling Xiang and the village chief have been away for a long time, but the Queen Mother has been like this since you returned to the palace, and the slave maid is really worried. The emperor has encountered an accident, the slave knows that your heart hurts, and she can't wait to change the emperor's life, but no matter how painful we are, we can't care about our bodies, we can't also fall down at this time, no matter how difficult it is, we must hold on. ”

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Rui pleaded with the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother still didn't speak,

I don't know if I heard it, but I just rubbed the jade card in my hand, as if the jade card was the incarnation of Yuan Ruiming, and my mouth opened and closed, but I couldn't hear what I was reading.

The candle flame reflected the gorgeous hair, at this moment, she was not a high-ranking queen mother, but just existed as a mother.

"The Queen Mother."

Aunt Rui cried and knelt on the ground,

"You can't go on like this, there are so many jackals, tigers and leopards in the harem of the front and back courts, just for the emperor, and they must be strong."

This sentence works surprisingly. finally made the Queen Mother react.

Her brows moved slightly, the light in her eyes slowly brightened again, and then she looked at the jade plate, stroking the dragon pattern and the word 'yuan' in the middle, the more she looked at it, the more she felt a pain in her heart.

Clenched tightly in his hands, eager to melt into his own flesh and blood.

"You're right."

The Queen Mother's voice trembled, but it was extremely firm.

"The mourning family can't fall, the mourning family has not been destroyed in the harem in the past, where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and they still survived to this position despite all the difficulties. This time, the mourning family also has to hold on, in order to find the real culprit for Ming'er, in order to guard the rivers and mountains of the great revelation for the Ling family, the mourning family must not fall. ”

She slapped the table,

The sound is like a bell.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had finally regained her former appearance and spirit, Aunt Rui was extremely moved, and she didn't know whether she was relieved or sad. wipe away the tears from the corners of your eyes, and adjust your emotions.

"The Queen Mother said that she wanted to find out the real culprit for the emperor, but didn't she already know that it was the Bai family's doing, and she had already issued a secret order to summon Bai Yi back to the capital according to the Prime Minister's suggestion, and then deal with it."

"The summons must be recalled, and the mourning family must be interrogated in person, but whether to deal with it or not is not something that others can control."

The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother in the end,

Even if his heart hurts to that point, he must retain a part of his sanity, know that he will do what Ling Xiang said first, and only after stabilizing can he think in the long run, and have other plans.

"So the Queen Mother thinks that the real murderer may not be the Bai family, so she will keep her hand."

The Queen Mother shook her head,

"No one can escape suspicion. Ling Xiang's old fox, when the first emperor was there, he was ready to move, and when the emperor first ascended the throne, everything was not stable, and he thought that the mourning family didn't know about the things he did in the court. ”
