Chapter 140: Talking to the Empress
Seeing that Ruan Qinge didn't make a sound, but just looked at herself with clear eyes, the queen thought for a while and said, "It's not that this palace doesn't believe in the county lord, it's just that this young lady of the Meng family alone can make the people in this palace move?" Could it be..."
The queen hesitated for a moment, "Could it be someone else's instructions?" ”
There was a hint of coldness in Ruan Qinge's eyes, "With Meng Yanwan alone, it may not be possible, but what if the eldest prince of the Meng family is also involved?" ”
The queen looked stunned.
Although the queen has changed her opinion of Ruan Tingge a lot, knowing that she is not the boudoir lady who is ignorant of the world in her impression, she is also mentally prepared for what Ruan Tingge wants to say, but at this time, she was still taken aback when she heard Ruan Tingge mention Meng Zhilin.
Since it was related to the Meng family and the six princes, the queen's expression became solemn, and she stared at Ruan Qingge and said in a deep voice, "The county lord sent someone over that day and only said a few words to the palace, and the palace only knew that the two palace people who were knocked out were related to the six princes, but they didn't know what happened. ”
The queen paused and said, "Can the county lord tell this palace in detail about what happened that night today?" ”
"Don't worry, the queen is not in a hurry, this matter is not complicated."
Ruan Qingge's voice was soft, and he said unhurriedly, "At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, some palace people lied that there were people outside the hall to make an appointment, and before Qingge befriended Lin Yunxi, the daughter of Hubu Shangshu, thinking that Miss Lin was waiting outside the hall, so he followed the palace people out of the hall. ”
"But after leaving the palace, he gradually felt that the palace people were leading the way in the wrong direction, so he opened his mouth to question her, but he didn't expect that the person was in a hurry, so he reached out and grabbed it, and wanted to forcibly pull the song away, and the song saw that she seemed to have some martial arts background, and she didn't dare to be careless, so she was directly stunned."
"After stuning the palace people, Qingge followed the direction of the palace people's guidance, and walked forward for a while, and found a palace with lights on, and there was a man's shout in the palace, as if he was drunk."
Hearing Ruan Tingge say this, the queen's face tightened, and she said loudly, "The people in the palace are the six princes?" ”
Seeing Ruan Tingge nodding, the queen said angrily, "It's ridiculous! ”
The queen has always been dignified and calm, but at this moment, her face couldn't help but be angry, "Who is so bold and dares to calculate my Ruan family?" ”
Ruan Tingge saw the queen mention the Ruan family, her eyes were slightly warm, and she persuaded, "Don't be angry. ”
The anger on the queen's face did not abate, "With this pickling method, do you still want to use this to gain the support of the Ruan family and the Fenyang army?" If it really comes to that point, with my understanding of your father, your father would rather fight them to the end than marry you to the sixth prince. ”
"It shouldn't be the instructions of the Six Princes," Ruan Qinge shook his head and said, "The Six Princes were drugged that night, and their consciousness was unconsciousnessed, and they went crazy in that hall..."
Thinking of the scene of seeing the sixth prince in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, Ruan Qingge only felt a little disgusted, so he didn't say anything.
"My father's temperament is well known to everyone, and he regards me as a treasure, the six princes and others will not use such a stupid method to gain his support, which will only backfire."
When the empress heard this, she remembered Concubine Wan's actions at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and slowly nodded, "Concubine Wan should also be unaware." ”
The queen looked at the beautiful and delicate girl in front of her, and said with some fear, "Fortunately, the county lord has learned martial arts, otherwise..."
"The palace man who led the way is quite powerful, and he also knows some moves, and I expect that the people behind the scenes know that they will be able to sing, so they will spend their time looking for the palace people who are good at martial arts. But he didn't expect that Qinge's martial arts were still stronger than ordinary people, so he didn't succeed. Ruan said.
"Don't be alone outside in the future, be careful." The queen stroked her chest.
Ruan Tingge nodded and continued, "Tingge observed outside the hall for a while, and saw that there was a palace person outside the hall looking at him sneakily, so he also knocked him out, and together with the previous palace people, he handed it over to the queen mother to deal with, I wonder if the queen mother asked any clues?" ”
"These two palace people are very strict-mouthed, but they have been tortured for the past few days but they have not asked anything," the queen said, "Both of them are palace people from the Liqing Palace, but they do not belong to any concubine palace." ”
The queen thought of something, looked at Ruan Qingge and said, "Why did the county lord say that it was the Meng family who did it before?" ”
"There's no evidence for it, it's just a gut feeling." Ruan Qinge replied.
"This.." The queen frowned slightly, "The palace still let people continue to interrogate those two palace people, and they should be able to relax in a few days." ”
"This is also a method," Ruan Tingge smiled slightly, and then said, "But since the people behind the scenes dare to send these two people, there must be a way to prevent them from having to keep it a secret." ”
Seeing Ruan Tingge's determined expression, the queen was very puzzled, "Based on intuition alone, it is too arbitrary to conclude that it was the Meng family." ”
Ruan Qingge's tone was calm, "Has the queen thought that the crown prince's position has not been established for a long time at this time, and the sixth prince has the support of the Qinghe Cui clan behind him, and he is deeply loved by the emperor, and he is eyeing the crown prince's position, if he suddenly has a bad relationship with the Fenyang Palace, or even the Ruan family, who will benefit?" “
Hearing Ruan Tingge's words, the queen's body was shocked, "What does the county lord mean by this?" Could it be that the suspicion is on the head of the palace? ”
Ruan Qingge sighed slightly in his heart, and then he understood why the position of the crown prince of Ling Chenghei in the previous life was so difficult, although his mother was the mother of a country, but she was more dignified and more than magnificent, but her calculation and wisdom were insufficient.
Although most of the reason for not appointing a prince is because the monarch is suspicious and jealous of the family, it has nothing to do with the queen.
"The queen mother misunderstood, how could Qinge suspect the queen mother," Ruan Qingge shook his head and said, "The Ruan family originally supported His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”
The queen also knew that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, so she calmed down before she said gently, "Blame the palace for being anxious, don't take it to heart the county lord." ”
"The queen's mother is serious," Ruan Tingge said with a modest attitude and lowered her eyes, "It's also strange that the words of the queen are slow, and they haven't finished speaking, so it caused the queen's mother to misunderstand." ”
The queen calmed down, looked at the girl with a gentle attitude in front of her, and her noble and arrogant appearance before appeared in her mind, feeling that Ruan Tingge seemed to be a different person.
Although she doesn't get along much, the queen has also heard some official ladies say that the lord of Yun'an has a cold and arrogant temperament, and it is rare to be able to say a few words to someone, even if she takes the initiative to greet her, she will only reply with a few short words, or just nod.
Summoning Ruan Tingge to come today, the queen was mentally prepared and might encounter a few soft nails, but she didn't expect Ruan Tingge to be gentle and polite, and she was also very respectful to herself.
It's just that what Ruan Tingge said just now made her heart shake.
"What does the county lord mean that there are other people who benefit?" The queen asked.
"According to Qingge's conjecture, what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve is only the first step of their plan, and if it is successful, the second step is to deal with His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
