Chapter 27: The Truth Confesses
After many days of recuperation, Xiaowei finally gradually regained consciousness and her body was much better, but her hands were uncontrollable and she had a problem with hand tremors. %&*";
Xiaowei gradually improved, but Ziling fell ill, and she couldn't sleep at night, as if she was asleep, she would be awakened by nightmares.
Thinking of a terrible person hiding in the palace, "he" pushed her into the lotus pond of the Cold Moon Palace, "he" released the snake and was so scared that it was as white as frost and miscarried, and even, the snake that appeared in the Yongle Palace may have originally come to ask for her life!
Thinking that such a poisonous person like a snake and scorpion was still hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to hurt people again, Zi Ling couldn't sleep at night. She is getting haggard day by day, like a thin chrysanthemum in autumn, her face is yellow, and she is described as withered.
She knew that she could only sleep peacefully by killing the poisonous snake that "climbed into her bed and burrowed into her bed", otherwise, she would continue to suffer from insomnia like this, and one day she would have a nervous breakdown.
She must protect herself and protect Yu'er! She must go to Meng Hongyu and ask him to thoroughly investigate the overboard and find out the person who is bent on putting her to death!
Outside the imperial study, Zi Ling had been waiting for an hour. Li Zhao had already said that the emperor didn't want to see anyone, but Ziling still refused to leave, until the first time the lights came on, he was finally willing to see her.
Gently pushed open the door, the lights in the room were sprinkled, and I saw him standing quietly by the window, the familiar back was still the same as before, but there was a touch of wordless loneliness.
Looking at the lonely back, Zi Ling suddenly wanted to cry. She stood silently, and he was silent for a long time.
His loneliness distressed her. How she wanted to walk over softly and rest her head on his warm back; How she wanted to tell him what she had been missing all this time; She also wanted to tell him that when she dreamed back at midnight, ^
Finally, he spoke, as he had done when he had talked to her in the past: "I'm really tired. Why don't they give me a moment of peace of mind? It's ridiculous to say, how many of my many concubines really love me? If they really love me, how can they be willing to hurt my children? If they really love me, how can they be willing to make me so exhausted? At this time, he was no longer the emperor who called himself "I", but a sad man.
He turned, looking tired, and smiled wryly at her.
She had never seen him sad, and she had never seen him so haggard! She didn't know whether to speak or not, she was just stunned, and she forgot the purpose of her coming to him.
Can she ask him to investigate the overboard? Now, he is sad about the loss of his child, and he also hates the open and secret struggle between the concubines, if she mentions the matter of falling into the water again at this moment, it will definitely add to his troubles.
She couldn't bear to speak, since it had been so long, she didn't mention it!
Holding back the tears in her eyes, she walked over and put her arms around his waist and rested her head on his warm chest, and he reached out to put his arms around her. She softly comforted him: "Your Majesty, everything will pass." ”
Tears slipped from her eyes.
It's been more than three months, and she finally hugged his warm body again, felt his heartbeat, and was surrounded by his huge sense of security.
In fact, without Ziling opening her mouth, Meng Hongyu had already asked Lu Yao to secretly find out the ins and outs of her falling into the water.
The reason why he did not order the Internal Affairs Office to investigate this matter thoroughly was because these seemingly ordinary harem trivial matters involved the interests of many people. How could he act too concerned and investigate and deal with it? In this way, it will not only hurt the "face" of others, but also put Zi Ling in a more sinister situation.
Besides, how could he not care about her? Even if he told himself again and again that women were like brooms, he couldn't care about any woman, and tried not to show too much care, but he still remembered her smile in the depths of his heart, and shared sorrows and joys with her.
Originally, he thought that Ziling's fall into the water was secretly framed by a jealous concubine, but when Lu Yao informed him of the results of the investigation, he was shocked - the mastermind behind the whole thing turned out to be his only son, thirteen-year-old Xinyang!!
After learning the truth, he went to Cining Palace to discuss the matter with the Queen Mother. After all, Xinyang is now under the care of the Queen Mother. A thirteen-year-old child must be punished for doing such a thing, but he must also take into account the child's feelings, so he does not want more people to know about it.
Unfortunately, Ling was dining with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace that day, so when the Queen Mother asked, he didn't say anything.
So, after Bai Zhaorong's slippery tire happened, Meng Hongyu was suspicious of Xinyang's hands, and first asked Lu Yao to investigate, but he couldn't find a clue for a long time.
Meng Hongyu decided to go to Cining Palace to question Xinyang, Xinyang saw that the matter had been revealed, and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Father, the son-in-law hates Concubine Xiao, it was she who caused the mother and concubine to break into the Cold Moon Palace and caused our mother and son to part, and the son-in-law just wanted to trick her." But Erchen would never dare to harm Zhaorong Niangniang! ”
When the Queen Mother saw Xinyang crying sincerely, she couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but intercede for him: "Emperor, Yang'er grew up in the deep palace, and she has never even seen a snake, how can she let a snake scare Liu Zhaorong?" Moreover, since the appearance of the snake in the palace, he was also frightened. He was so afraid of snakes, how dare he do this? ”
Meng Hongyu was still angry, and shouted: "Why do it yourself!" Isn't pushing Xiao Guifei into the lotus pond also a fake hand? And who knows if he was instructed by someone else! ”
"What are you talking about, Emperor!" Meng Hongyu's words made the Queen Mother very angry, Xinyang is now being raised by him, could it be that she instructed Xinyang?
Realizing that his words were easily misunderstood by the Queen Mother, Meng Hongyu hurriedly explained: "The queen mother, the sons dare not accuse the queen mother of not. It's just that...... Yang'er and Concubine De always see each other often......"
"Nope! It can't be Concubine De! She had long since reformed, and now she was in the Cold Moon Palace with a lot of remorse. How could she possibly do such a thing? Besides, Xiaowei has been with her for more than ten years, could it be said that she would let a snake bite the most trusted person around her? The Queen Mother was busy defending her niece, she would never believe that Concubine De had done it!
"The son has said it, please let the queen mother calm her anger." If the Queen Mother is unhappy, it is better to quickly turn off the fire.
"The mourning family promises you that they will find out who put the snake and return Concubine De's innocence!" Anger burned her "fighting spirit", and she swore to Meng Hongyu. Back then, she also strategized, experienced a hundred battles, and many concubines of the first emperor wrestled in the sea of conspiracy, and then, step by step, won the world for her son. If she doesn't have the eyes of people, how can she sit on the throne of the queen mother? How could she ever have missed someone? She believes that Concubine De is innocent!
After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Meng Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but flash a smile, and he thought to himself: "That's the best, I hope the Queen Mother can find out the truth as soon as possible!" ”
