Meng Hongyu came to Cining Palace. I saw Ouyang Ying and the Queen Mother playing chess in the Guangshou Hall. The two of them talked and laughed. Happiness knows no bounds. Sure enough, people are in good spirits at happy events. Meng Hongyu had never seen Ouyang Ying, the famous "ice beauty", smile so brightly tonight.

Meet Meng Hongyu. Ouyang Ying hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Fu Shen asked Andao: "The concubine has seen the emperor. Congratulations to the emperor on getting another noble son." It's about being pregnant like frost.

Meng Hongyu nodded lightly. Then he ordered, "Stand down, all of you. I have something to say to the Queen Mother."

"Yes." A room full of palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew. Only Ouyang Ying was still standing quietly in place.

"Retreat, concubine." Meng Hongyu smiled at her. Said softly.

"Then the concubine will retire first." Ouyang Ying knew that he couldn't listen to what the emperor wanted to say to the queen mother. I secretly complained about my ignorance. also quickly retreated.

The Queen Mother gently moved the white jade chessboard to the side. Picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Then he said calmly, "Sit down and say something." She was already vaguely aware that Meng Hongyu was not good here. Something must be held accountable to her.

Meng Hongyu sat down. Pinch a crystal clear white jade chess piece and play with it in your hand. Without a trace, he asked, "Is it. Doesn't the queen mother want to play a game with her son?"

"Doesn't the emperor have something to say to the mourning family?" The Queen Mother said succinctly and forcefully. Let's talk about something."

Meng Hongyu took out the small cloth bag that Xin Rou gave him from his arms. Gently place it on the table. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Said: "There is something. I want the queen mother to take a look."

"Oh. Something." The Queen Mother picked up the little cloth bag. Pull the bag apart. I saw that there were some ashes and scraps of paper inside. I was puzzled.

"Pour it out and see. It's not clear to see this way." Meng Hongyu said.

The Queen Mother poured all the ashes and paper from the cloth bag on the table. Deep index finger slowly spread out to see. I was still puzzled in my heart: "The emperor wants to mourn the family to see. That's all that stuff."

Meng Hongyu did not answer. Stretched out his right index finger and pushed the scrap of paper with the words "See you by the pool" in front of the Queen Mother. He said wickedly, "The queen mother can recognize her. Whose word is this?"

"This is Yao'er's word. What's wrong?" The Queen Mother didn't know where Meng Hongyu got these ashes from. Therefore, he blurted out and admitted that the handwriting on the paper was written by Lin Yueyao.

"Haha......" Meng Hongyu burst out laughing. The Queen Mother was confused by the laughter. After laughing. He said aloud: "This ash and scrap paper were given to me by Rou'er. He said he found it in the incense burner in Ruxin's bedroom."

"So what." The Queen Mother asked.

"It seems. The queen mother really doesn't know." Look at the appearance of the Queen Mother. It seems that the existence of this letter is really unknown. So. Does this mean that the Queen Mother was not complicit with Lin Yueyao that night. Meng Hongyu thought to himself. I also pray secretly. Hopefully, his mother really has nothing to do with Liu Ruxin's death.

"Should the mourners know anything?" The Queen Mother said in an unhappy tone.

"No. Erchen means. If the Queen Mother really doesn't know. That's great." Meng Hongyu continued. Listen to Rou'er. That night. Ruxin received a letter. After reading the letter, he hurried out alone."

The Queen Mother finally understood. Suddenly realized: "That is to say. This letter was written by Yao'er. It was Yao'er who asked Ruxin to meet by the lotus pond." Originally. The Queen Mother was already suspicious of Lin Yueyao in her heart. Therefore. After sending all the concubines away that night. The Queen Mother will leave Lin Yueyao here. Said something like that. Didn't expect. This matter was really done by Lin Yueyao.

"But. . . Yao'er had been accompanying the mourning family in Cining Palace that night." The Queen Mother still doesn't want to believe it.

"You know the queen mother. A lot of things. You don't have to do it yourself." Meng Hongyu said meaningfully.

The Queen Mother was silent. The eyes are full of disappointment and sadness. Long. She sighed quietly, "Actually. The mourning family had already guessed that this matter might be related to Yao'er. Didn't expect. It was really guessed by the mourning family. Emperor, you ...... What are you going to do?"

"Lives are at stake. Serious. Accountability must be pursued...... Don't indulge Yao'er anymore." Meng Hongyu said. And then. He raised his voice. called out to the door: "Li Zhao. LI Zhao. Please come to Cining Palace."

"The minions obey."

A while. Lin Yueyao is here. With Mu Xue's support. Her steps are vain. Walking rickety. I saw her face haggard. Eyes are blank. Even if the face has been coated with a thick layer of powder. His face was still bloodless.

Meng Hongyu looked at her angrily. The Queen Mother also looked at her with slight displeasure. See this situation. Lin Yueyao was already scared in her heart. But he still forced himself to calmly ask for peace under Mu Xue's support: "The concubine has seen the emperor and the queen mother."

"Say. What the hell did you do?" Meng Hongyu suddenly shouted loudly.

Lin Yueyao has not yet knelt down and begged for mercy. Mu Xue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a green onion: "The emperor is angry. The emperor was angry......"

"You get up. I'm not talking about you." Meng Hongyu said.

Mu Xue suddenly realized her gaffe. My heart also calmed down slightly. Only then did he slowly stand up.

"Yao'er. Come here." The Queen Mother ordered in a cold tone. Lin Yueyao was worried in her heart. But he still slowly moved to the Queen Mother's side.

"You know the words on this paper." The Queen Mother picked up the large piece of paper from the table and asked Lin Yueyao.

"See you by the pool......" Lin Yueyao said softly. Suddenly. Her face changed dramatically. The eyes were filled with panic. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Lips trembled.

"Do you know whose handwriting it is." The Queen Mother continued to ask.

"Ministers, concubines, no, I don't know ......" Lin Yueyao's dead duck has a hard mouth. Still fighting to the death.

"Bold. Isn't that your word?" Meng Hongyu was angry. Slammed the table and stood up and shouted angrily. The ashes on the table were slightly blown up by the wind of his palm.

Lin Yueyao was shocked. I felt darkness in front of me. He straightened up and fainted to the ground......

The Queen Mother saw Lin Yueyao faint. Hurriedly shouted to the door: "Someone...... Someone's coming...... Hurry up and go to the Imperial Doctor."

Meng Hongyu thought at first that Lin Yueyao was pretending to be dizzy. Later, I saw her lying motionless on the ground. His face was horribly pale. That's why I quickly got up and carried her to the queen mother's bedroom.

A while. The doctor is here.

The imperial doctor carefully checked Lin Yueyao's pulse. Then he reported to the Queen Mother: "Concubine Yao Niangniang has been suffering from heart palpitations and insomnia recently. It's hard to sleep. The spirit has not been very good. Fang must have been frightened. That's why I fainted. The minister prescribed her a dose of medicine to calm her nerves and replenish her qi, and she would drink it. The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry too much."

"Yao'er has been suffering from heart palpitations and insomnia lately. Why didn't the mourning family hear her mention it? How so." The Queen Mother asked the Imperial Doctor worriedly.

"Hmph. If you hadn't done too much. How can you have heart palpitations, insomnia, and trouble sleeping?" Meng Hongyu stood aside and said coldly. I was angry and hateful.

The imperial doctor saw that the emperor was angry. He was silent. Don't dare to say more.

"Or. Prescribe her a cinnabar tranquilizer pill (1) to eat. A few days ago, I mourned my family and suffered from insomnia. It's a lot better after eating this." The Queen Mother suggested.

"Cinnabar Tranquility Pill is mainly used to treat restlessness, insomnia and dreams. The old minister has already prescribed this medicine to Concubine Yao. But. Concubine Yao didn't get better after eating it." The Imperial Physician truthfully reported to the Queen Mother." Moreover. This cinnabar tranquilizer pill is not suitable for long-term use."

Listened to the words of the Imperial Doctor. Mu Xue was secretly happy in her heart: eat cinnabar soothing pills. Of course, Lin Yueyao's illness will "not get better". It was because she put cinnabar in the slimming and beauty pills that Lin Yueyao took before. Lin Yueyao's mercury sulfide poisoning will cause "insomnia, dreams, and restlessness". This stupid imperial doctor actually prescribed cinnabar soothing pills to Lin Yueyao again. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

"That's good." The Queen Mother's eyes were full of worry.

"The old minister will continue to develop the prescription for Concubine Yao. Presently. I took the medicine that calmed my nerves and replenished my qi first." The doctor said.

Lin Yueyao has stopped taking slimming and beauty medicine since her heart palpitations and insomnia. I have been taking the calming and tonifying medicine prescribed by the Tai Doctor. Mu Xue still obeyed the orders of Bai Rushuang. Continue to put cinnabar into the medicine Lin Yueyao took. Therefore. Lin Yueyao's mercury sulfide poisoning is getting deeper and deeper. I guess I'm going to die soon.

"Yao'er's disease...... It's going to be okay. Young. How can you lose sleep......" The Queen Mother muttered to herself. Mo Fei. It's really as the emperor said. If you do too many bad things, you will not be able to sleep well.

"These things. Let's wait for Concubine Yao to wake up. The retainers retired first." Meng Hongyu didn't bother to look at Lin Yueyao's appearance anymore. Then he left Cining Palace. Go back to his Qiankun Palace. There is only his Qiankun Palace. In order to stay away from the harem and intrigues. can give him a moment of peace.

After returning to the Qiankun Palace. Meng Hongyu was angry and hateful. gritted his teeth with hatred for the Lin father and daughter. I want to tear them to pieces. Originally. He sent Lu Yao to find out that it was the Lin father and daughter who killed Su Zirong. He had already secretly made up his mind to avenge Su Zirong.

It's a pity that the Lin family is powerful. If you act rashly without much thought. It's bound to startle the snake. It caused power disputes and even turmoil. Therefore. He did not hesitate to let Xiao Ziling misunderstand and resent. He did not hesitate to let Su Zirong die without turning a blind eye. I also endure the hatred in my heart. Wait for the opportunity to uproot the Lin clan.

Who knows. Before he could wait for him to avenge Su Zirong. Lin Yueyao killed Liu Ruxin again. Thinking of the tearful little faces of the sisters Xin Rou and Xin Ning. Meng Hongyu was sad in his heart, and the Lin clan had killed his bloodline. Killed the woman he loved the most. Now he killed Liu Ruxin again. Caused his daughter to lose her mother. This revenge will not be avenged. Where will he put the face of the king of a country?

"Lu Yao." Turn the hatred in your heart into a cluster of arrows. Meng Hongyu's tone was extremely cold. You go and check on the Lin family's recent movements for me."

"Obedience."
