The emperor was like a mirror in his heart, "More than that, who put those rumors before?" Who said the killer left a personal object at the scene? You forced Concubine Pei Shu to turn the bottom upside down at home, and pushed her step by step to the point where she had to resist you, did I say something wrong? ”

It seems that the emperor is just sitting on top of a high temple, facing the mountains every day and can't get rid of it, in fact, the small actions of the prince's mansion have long been seen by him.

Lan Yi couldn't hide it if she wanted to, so she simply poured it out, "Yes, these are all methods that Erchen thought, just to lure the snake out of the hole, but Erchen really didn't want her life, but she didn't expect the purple beads beside her to poison her, and Miaoqing Jedi made water chestnuts have to hurt her in order to protect Erchen." ”

"Purple beads?"

"It's the maid sent by Concubine Ying to Concubine Pei." Lan Yi said, "Zizhu only came to Concubine Pei Shu in the past two days, and it stands to reason that she will not be trusted by Concubine Pei Shu at once, but when Concubine Pei Shu came to Prince Gong's Mansion, she only brought her, and before Concubine Pei and her sons spoke alone, although they ate the food of Prince Gong's Mansion, she moved the chopsticks, and Princess Yu also moved, but the only thing that was unique was a cup of tea that Zizhu sent to her." ”

The emperor stopped talking.

These things, as long as you go to investigate, you can find out clearly, the emperor knows that Lan Yi is not a fool, he will not speak at this moment, and he still tells slanderous lies.

But he didn't want to pick up her words, and he didn't want to really investigate things thoroughly according to Lan Yi's thoughts.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that if anyone in his harem is at fault, it should not be his daughter-in-law who manages it, not only the face of the harem, but also the face of him as an emperor.

Fortunately, at this time, a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Gong asks to see you." ”

The Emperor frowned, "Changjue? He looked at Lan Yi, "This matter, also has something to do with him?" ”

Lan Yi said firmly: "It doesn't matter if you go back to your father's words. His Royal Highness didn't even know why I invited Princess Yu and Concubine Pei Shu over today, he only thought that I missed Princess Yu, and he went out specially to let his sons and Princess Yu get along happily. ”

Of course, the emperor didn't believe it, and said, "Then what did he want to do when he chased him outside the palace?" ”

Lan Yi said: "You know, Chang Jue is the person who cares about his relatives the most, and when he came here, I thought that he heard that there was a murder case in Prince Gong's mansion, for fear that his sons would not be able to argue clearly and suffer in vain." ”

The emperor thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you think you should let him in?" ”

Lan Yi shook his head, "If you can, please ask my father to order him to return to the Gongwang Mansion immediately." Today's incident was originally that Erchen wanted to seek justice for Ronghuan, and it had nothing to do with anyone, his father wanted to blame, only Erchen was alone, and Changjue didn't know anything. He worked hard all day in the yamen, just to help his father share his worries, and his sons did not want to let those who were loyal to his father chill. ”

After a while, the emperor said, "Come, let King Gong go back immediately, and tell him that this matter has nothing to do with him, and if he dares to intervene, I will let him never see his wife again." ”

Lan Yi "chuckled" in her heart, saying that it was false not to be afraid, all the time, the emperor could ask for his own life, that sentence was not only a warning to Changjue, but also a warning to her, not to trespass.

But except for Changjue, everyone asked her to live with Rong Huan's death and so aggrieved, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, and she didn't want to bear her own flesh and blood.

She has to understand that even if she fights for Rong Huan, she has to do her best.

The emperor commanded, and then looked at Lan Yi, "I thought that after the queen, I would never see a woman again, as stubborn as her, I used to think you were a delicate child, but I didn't expect that in this matter, you are as stubborn as a cow." ”

The bitterness in Lan Yi's heart goes all the way to the tongue. Jian, "Father, the child is everything to the mother, and suddenly it is gone, what else do the sons have to worry about." ”

The emperor's face was expressionless, "All mothers use such words to stand up to me. Could it be that a child is a mother's capital that can do evil? ”

Lan Yi did not flinch, "Back to my father's words, the sons did not do evil, the sons just wanted the evildoers to subdue the law." ”

"But look at it, Concubine Pei, is she a fufa? Where did the law come from, where did the human evidence come from, you just deceived her, and you didn't even have three sessions of trial, so you condemned her and took her life! She had a set of words, and the emperor immediately picked up the words, and said coldly, "Lan Yi, you are indeed a smart child, but be careful that one day, such cleverness is disgusted by others, but it is mistaken by cleverness." ”

Lan Yi knew that he was at a loss, and was silent for a while before he said: "The teachings of my father and the emperor have been remembered by my son. ”

Whether it is really in mind or not, no one cares, in short, no one is happy when this incident comes out.

Later, an autopsy proved that Miaoqing had indeed taken poison, and even if she was not injured, she would die, and the emperor's face became even heavier.

At this moment, a guard came to report, saying that His Royal Highness King Gong refused to leave, and knelt down in front of the palace gate, just asking to see the emperor and Princess Gong.

The emperor was annoyed, "What kind of dead-eyed children are they! ”

Lan Yi was distressed, it was raining outside, and she knew very well how wet the ground was, how good would she be if she knelt down like this, if she fell ill, she could only try her best to make up for her husband in front of the emperor at that moment, and tried to make her tone sound humble and warm, "Father, if Chang Jue abandons his sons and ministers, it means that his heart for his family is cold." So not to give up, and not to offend Tianzun, just wait quietly, Erchen thinks, in fact, he respects you again, and he is affectionate and righteous. ”

The emperor glanced at her, "You husband and wife are of the same heart, either he helps you say good things, or you help him, I am lazy to listen." But he won't kneel for too long - Concubine Pei's matter is over here. ”

His last sentence came suddenly, Lan Yi was stunned, and raised his head, "Father? ”

The emperor said: "Zizhu poisoned and murdered the concubine, causing Concubine Pei to die of poison in King Gong's mansion, Zizhu was killed with a cane, as for the water chestnut, she committed the following crimes, which is also a great crime of disrespect, and I gave her the whole corpse." ”

Lan Yi's hand clenched all of a sudden, this kind of treatment was really a quick knife, but she couldn't keep up with the emperor's words, and she always felt like she didn't understand.

"Father, Zizhu hasn't been tried yet, who is behind her, aren't you going to figure it out? What's more, the water chestnut was injured by mistake in order to save his sons, and the punishment of death was not too much? ”

The emperor looked at her, there was a chill of warning in his eyes, and he was not angry, "Pei Shi, today's matter, I have already seen it, Zizhu is not tried, there is no meaning, I am willing to explain a few words to you, because you are indeed the mother of the lost child, and you also have merit to the royal heir, but this is not the reason why you can question me." ”

Lan Yi lowered her head and took every deep breath, in front of the imperial power, she was so small, even if it was the side that took advantage, it was useless.

The emperor continued: "Prince Gong's Mansion and Changfu Palace have always been at odds, and I know what you are calculating, but these things are unnecessary when brought to me. As a concubine, Concubine Ying doesn't need to get along with you juniors, and you, as the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family, don't take out the previous set of heroism and fearlessness repeatedly. In my heart, you are still a child, and it is forgivable to toss twice for the sake of flesh and blood. ”

Lan Yi secretly gritted his teeth, lowered his head more and more to show his respect, and said something against his will, "Erchen Xie Father and Emperor are considerate." ”

"Since I have forgiven you, you should also be considerate and considerate of me. If you make a big fuss, everyone will think that it is still the disagreement between your two sisters that leads to such a result, even Rong Huan is a victim of your fighting methods, I punish you or Concubine Ying, for the Pei family, for the court, there is only a hundred harms and no benefits. So that's the end of the matter. ”

Lan Yi knew that what the emperor said made sense, but as a mother, she couldn't accept such a truth.

Yes, Miaoqing and her surname are Pei, and the Pei Mansion is not good-looking, which may affect the future of Zhiran, and it may also affect Pei Gui's career, maybe someone will go up. There is no way to impeach Pei Gui's daughter.

And there are still some people who oppose the ill-intentioned intentions of the imperial court, who are already eyeing it, and will inevitably make a big fuss about this matter, laughing at the dignified heavenly family's open and secret fighting, not only the harem participates, but even the children have to be calculated. At that time, it will be difficult to say what the people will think of the royal family.

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and no matter how poor the family is, it understands the truth.

She swallowed her anger and knelt down, "Since my father has made a decision in his heart, my sons obey the order, but the water chestnut has served Empress Cikang meritoriously, and I beg my father to spare her life." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Indeed, I don't want Empress Cikang to be sad under Jiuquan, so let's do it, water chestnut, send it to Xinzheku, reflect on it well, and when I figure it out, I will let her go back to Prince Gong's mansion." ”

Saying that, when do you want to understand, it's not the water chestnut that has the final say, but the emperor who has the final say, Lan Yi knows that during the emperor's reign, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to see the water chestnut again, but being able to save a life is already the best result Lan Yi can predict.

She kowtowed with a water chestnut, feeling the coldness of the ground in Qianming Palace, "Son-in-law Xie Father Emperor Longen." ”

The emperor said: "Don't go out these days, I think that where there is you, there is right and wrong, learn from your second imperial sister-in-law, quietly, such a person is a model of women." ”

Thunder and rain and dew, they are all Jun'en, like Wei Changze, when he is pampered, he is right about everything, and his temper is also "like when I was young", and if I don't like it, it becomes "disrespectful and respectful, trying to seek a position".

Lan Yi is not his own daughter, and he can hear the emperor say so many words, and he feels that he is already extremely kind.

But after planning for a long time, he only ended up with such an ending, and Lan Yi's heart was uncomfortable beyond words.

The water chestnut was taken away, and before leaving, the master and servant looked at each other, and there was no need to say anything, it was enough to know what was in each other's hearts.

Lan Yi understands very well that these days, the water chestnut seems to be holding on, but in fact, Rong Huan's death has been on her mind, and she does not pay some price to make up for it, but tortures, goes to the Xinzhi Library, and becomes a relief.

But when she came, she walked into this palace with a water chestnut and a determination, as if she had inexhaustible strength, and when she went out, she was alone.

She doesn't know how the emperor will treat Ying Guifei in the future, and she really doesn't have the qualifications to get the emperor's explanation, so there is no better way than waiting.

Who called the world not in her hands?

Lan Yi can only believe that since the emperor is not a person who can tolerate others touching his authority, he will not let Concubine Ying be so presumptuous.

The little palace maid was holding a lantern in front of her, not daring to say a word, as if it was air, wishing that she had nothing to do with Lan Yi.

She walked out of the palace step by step, it was already dark at this time, the palace lights on both sides were lit, and they fell in her eyes, but there was no bit of wealth, like a ghost fire leading to the underworld, she thought, if she went on like this, how good it would be to finally see Rong Huan.

The palace door on the side was opened for her, and it was soon closed, and the road was finally finished, and she only saw Wei Changjue, who stood up and stumbled towards her.

It's probably because he's been kneeling for too long, and he's not so steady, but the moment he arrives in front of Lan Yi, he stubbornly steadies himself, takes his wife's hand, and doesn't say anything.

Lan Yi felt his guilt and comforted: "It's me who didn't let you know, don't blame you for not being by my side." Also, don't blame Xiao Yanzi, and don't blame Ruihua for them, they are all loyal people. ”

She didn't say a word about what happened in the palace, and Chang Jue knew that Lan Yi didn't get the result she wanted, and it was very likely that it was worse off.

So he didn't mention it, but said, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

However, after getting into the carriage, listening to the sound of the small pebbles rolling forward on the ground, Lan Yi himself suddenly said: "In the end, no one won, Ying Guifei is desperate after she loses, Wei Changyuan is dispatched, waiting for Changfu Palace, I don't know what it will be, and we have a Ronghuan in vain...... Changjue, I'm really, so useless......"

Chang Jue shook his head, "No one can say that you are useless, Rong Huan's hatred, let's take our time." As for the fight, it is originally two sides, winning and losing, and it can never be generalized. What's more, we're not here to win, we're here to fight for ourselves, right? ”

Lan Yi slowly sat up straight, and asked in a very small but firm voice: "Changjue, if one day, you become the emperor, will you let our children be wronged in order to balance several forces?" ”

Chang Jue didn't dare to agree casually, although the matter of "being the emperor" seemed so far away, let alone checks and balances, but because he cherished Lan Yi, he refused to accept anything from her casually.

"Being a human being may be more or less wronged, but our children are different. If there is another daughter, I will not let her suffer in vain, whoever bullies her, I bully whom. But if it's a kid...... If you suffer a little loss, you can understand the reason, but it is a blessing. Chang Jue knew why she asked this question, so she immediately continued, "Of course, Rong Huan's hatred, if I inherit the unification one day, I will definitely let the Changfu Palace pay for the blood debt." ”

Lan Yi seemed to smile in the dark, "With this sentence, it's enough." Changjue, I am waiting for the day when you will reign in the world. ”
