Huai Sleeve couldn't help but concentrate when he heard these people mention the "Yamen of the Criminal Department" and listened to what they said.

I heard the man from before say, "That's it!" Someone has seen the notice, and it is said that the female prisoner has died, oops! It's miserable! ”

Huai Sleeve couldn't help frowning, and a sense of foreboding suddenly floated in his heart.

"Yes, I heard that it was a pregnant female prisoner, and her stomach was dissected, and the child was dug up and thrown aside......"

Before the man finished speaking, the handful of pine nuts held in the palm of his sleeve was grappled on the ground, and the green tendons on his forehead were picked, "Bang!" He threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, turned around and reached out and grabbed the man's neck, and said sharply: "Say!" Is what you just said true? ”

Seeing this scene, the tea drinkers on the side were stunned in the locality, and the man saw the bruises on the side of his sleeve face, his eyes were fierce, and he stammered in fright: "Yes, it's true, the notice, the notice is posted at the gate of the yamen of the criminal department." ”

When he heard this, he opened the man's collar, reached out and took out a piece of silver from his purse, put it on the table, and ran to the door with his robe.

When he walked to the gate, he came in front of a big man, and he was in a hurry, and the big man bumped into his shoulder, and the big man saw that he was only a thin little boy, and he reached out and grabbed the arm of the sleeve and shouted: "Hey! Where did you come from, boy, dare to hit Uncle Ben! ”

Huai Sleeve turned his face sideways, glared at the big man, and said coldly: "Let go of your hand, dare to block the way of the master, beware of the master tearing you!" ”

When the big man heard that Huai Sleeve was young, he spoke harshly, and was about to speak, but he hurriedly let go of his hand in surprise at a pair of red eyes like blood poured into Huai Sleeve.

Huai Sleeve kicked open the door and flew out of Zifeng Tower.

Riding a horse and going straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, sure enough, he saw a notice posted on the side wall, he stepped forward with his sleeves, squinted his eyes and read it carefully a few times, and then looked at the beautiful woman in the portrait below, who is it not Hongyu?

Tears suddenly overflowed his eyes, and two warm marks rolled on his cold face, and he stretched out his hands with trembling sleeves, and took the notice off the wall little by little, folded it into his arms, and flew away on his horse.

At this time, Rong Ruo was sitting in Tongzhi Hall, discussing affairs with several officials of the DPRK and China, and suddenly heard Xiao Anzi in the courtyard shouting: "Huai Gongzi, you stay, there are guests in the adult's house, hey!" Huai Gongzi, Huai Gongzi ......"

"Bang!" The door of the study was pushed open, and he stood at the door of the study with his sleeves flashed, his face red from the wind, and his cheeks were condensed with wet marks. The willow eyebrows are upside down, and a pair of phoenix eyes are full of hatred and blood condensation.

Seeing her like this, Rong Ruo got up in surprise and asked softly, "Huai...... What happened to you? ”

Seeing this, the officials who were originally discussing affairs with Rong Ruo next to them all got up one after another and quietly avoided each other.

Rong Ruo slowly walked to the side of her sleeve, took out a handkerchief from the sleeve and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, and asked, "What's wrong?" I shed so many tears on a cold day, and my face hurt for many days. ”

After that, he reached out to shake Huai Sleeve's hand, but was dodged by Huai Sleeve's hand, took out the notice from the sleeve, and handed it to Rong Ruo.

Rong Ruo stretched out his hand to take the notice, unfolded it gently, and read it carefully, his face was always calm.

"So you still know about it after all." Rong Ruo sighed softly and slowly put away the notice.

When Huai Sleeve heard him say this, he frowned in surprise and asked, "Could it be that you already knew?" ”

Rong Ruo nodded lightly and said, "Yesterday evening, not long after this incident happened, I, Amma, received the news. ”

"What did Master Ming say?" Huai Sleeve asked eagerly.

Rong Ruo said: "Ama said, the other party is coming for our Nalan family, those people don't know that the child in Hongyu's belly is not our Nalan family, they just want to use this matter to humiliate my Nalan family, it is best to cause my family to take action." ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he thought of Hongyu's smile at that time, and couldn't help but feel sad, and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, did Hongyu die miserably in vain?" ”

Rong Ruo sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "This matter will naturally be investigated by the Yamen of the Criminal Department, we must not act rashly, for this matter, Ama has repeatedly instructed yesterday." ”

Two crystal tears fell from his cheeks and shattered on the dark red floor tiles, and after a while, his sleeves slowly raised his eyes, his eyes were as cold as thin ice, and his face was calm: "Since your noble prime minister is afraid of being implicated, I am not afraid, I will take care of this matter!" The words fell, and he turned and went outside.

"Huai'er!" Rong Ruo hugged his sleeve and said eagerly: "Can you calm down?" This matter cannot be solved by a single outrighteous anger. ”

Huai Sleeve struggled hard, and shouted in his mouth: "These are all things that you men are fighting in the officialdom, why do you let us women be sacrifices!" It's not fair! ”

Rong Ruo looked at the hysterical sleeve, her heart was full of pity, she hugged her body into her arms, and comforted her softly: "I know what you said, but there is no such thing as complete fairness in this world, such as if you want to enter the palace, such as me......"

Rong Ruo suddenly stopped talking, lowered his eyes, stared affectionately at the delicate man with slightly trembling arms in his arms, and said softly: "Right now, I am still sick, many things, although I have more than enough but not enough, the only thing I am worried about now is you." ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Rong Ruo continued: "This matter, since it is the right policy for our Nalan family, even if the child in Hongyu's womb is not a joke, my Ama will not give up, but the more I encounter this kind of thing, the more I need to act calmly, otherwise, I just fell for the other party's agitated plan?" ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he gradually quieted down, buried his face in Rong Ruo's arms, and whispered for a long time: "I just feel that Hongyu died too miserably, too pitiful......"

Rong Ruo gently patted her back to soothe, and sighed softly: "I know your thoughts, how can I not feel uncomfortable after getting along for so many days......"
