Lan Xin nodded with difficulty, these days, the emperor has never given up looking for his biological mother. How could she not understand that innocent heart. "Your Majesty, you listen to the concubines and take their time. The first thing to figure out is whether this Aunt Ruying is really a nurse or a faker. ”

Looking at Lan Xin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Hongli already understood that this matter must be inseparable from the Queen Mother. "Yes, where are the people now?"

"Please ask the emperor and his concubines to come." Lan Xin is very glad that the emperor has always believed in himself. The more unusual it is, the more tacit seems between them. He led the way a little ahead, and the emperor followed almost beside him. Through an inconspicuous small door in Lan Xin's bedroom, you will come to the connecting hidden room.

Ruying lay on the bed in this room.

"Your Majesty, people are resting in bed." Lan Xin said calmly: "Please go and identify it." If it is Ruying, the concubine will explain the ins and outs of the whole matter one by one. ”

Seriously, Hongli couldn't hold back his nervousness, his pace was uneasy and hurried, but it was exceptionally light. Lifting the dark ochre curtain, he saw an old woman lying on the bed.

Lan Xin asked Duo Lan and Jin Lan to freshen up Ruying and change into clean clothes, which was no longer as unbearable as when they first met. But even so, Hongli was still very difficult, he only felt that the outline of this woman was very similar to Ruying, but what a charm Ruying's nurse used to be, and what a skinny old woman was in front of her at this moment.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you recognize it slowly." Lan Xin thought that Ruying must have changed a lot after all kinds of torture. After all, they haven't seen each other for ten years, and the shadow in the emperor's heart is still stuck ten years ago.

With this opening, Lan Xin's voice alarmed Ruying on the bed, and her heavy eyelids were like a shackle, which was difficult to open. And her rolling eyes rolled abruptly under her eyelids, as if she was struggling with her strength.

"Ruying, are you awake?" Seeing this scene, Lan Xin hurriedly asked: "The emperor is here, if you can hear the words of this palace, just open your eyes and take a look at the emperor." ”

Hongli stared at the old woman in front of him with good eyes, and the bits and pieces of his childhood gradually surged in his heart. How he hoped that the person who was close at hand would be the nurse, but he was the same worry, after all, he would not let her go easily if he could torture her into such a person.

"Your Majesty......" Ruying's mouth slowly let out a low voice. Emperor...... The slave didn't think that she would be able to see you again......" As the voice fell, Ruying really slowly opened her eyes.

"Quick, Queen, help me pick up the nurse." Hongli showed a surprised expression, revealing a heat of gratitude. "I never thought that seeing you again would be like this. Who is it that wants to harm you like this? ”

The moment Hongli held the nurse's wrist, only four words flashed in his mind, and he was as skinny as wood. He knew that her life was not easy at all. In fact, the voice in his heart was obvious, but he still hoped to know the truth from the nurse's mouth.

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter." Ruying smiled, as if she saw Hongli back then, her voice sounded loving and doting, much more pleasant than just now: "The slave still remembers that the emperor liked to climb the tree and pick persimmons when he was young. Once upon a time, there were two large persimmon trees in the palace. The slave and maid were always afraid that you would fall if you climbed up, but they didn't listen to you, so they had to make a long fork pole and twist the persimmon branch for you. Your Majesty, do you remember...... Remember that? ”

"Remember, I remember......" Hongli reached out and grabbed Ruying's wrist and gently rolled up her sleeve: "I still remember, I fell down the tree again, and the nurse caught me without thinking about it, and I hurt my elbow and a deep scar." ”

It's not that Hongli can't find the scar, but the arm like Ying's skin and bones, full of scars, new and old, is no longer shocking and can be described.

"The slave and maid refused to say until they died, and they refused to tell where the evidence of the crime was. Thereupon...... So she didn't let go of the slave maid...... "Leaning on the bed, the nurse seemed to be suddenly poured into the spirit, her wide eyes seemed to see the emperor, but it seemed to penetrate through his face. "The jade plate, the slave still has the jade card of the year...... Yongzhengye's own handwritten ......"

Before she finished her sentence, Ruying suddenly felt her heart and lungs churning, like a knife twisting. Ruying pressed her chest desperately, but felt that the pain of the tear was not relieved, but became more and more obvious. "Queen Mother, since you want to save the slave maid, why do you want to poison it...... Could it be that you are following the orders of the Queen Mother......"

Her hoarse voice exerted all her strength, and her stretched right hand, a single index finger straight to the tip of her nose. "You know that the slave and maid are wronged, and you know that the emperor is worried about his life...... Why...... Why......" The blue tendons on Ruying's forehead were abruptly bluffing, her breath became more and more rapid, her eyes were bloodshot, and they bulged like two fireballs with resentment, and she hated to burn Lan Xin to death.

"Nurse, what are you talking about, the queen poisoned, what's going on, and who brought you into the Forbidden City, the queen mother? What did the Queen Mother do to you......" Although Hongli was stunned, he was still unwilling to let go of any doubts. It's a pity that before he finished his words, Ruying had already spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and fell on the bed with a "bang", convulsed a few times, and then couldn't move anymore.

Oh my God, Lan Xin screamed in the bottom of his heart, what the hell is going on. Who poisoned it? Is she? If it were herself, how could she look forward to the emperor coming up, and how could she carefully hide Ruying, she could let Ruying never see the emperor.

All this came too suddenly and too quickly, originally with a lot of hope, and the true face of the Queen Mother's hypocrisy could be exposed at once. But in an instant, hope was ruthlessly destroyed, not only was the truth buried, not to mention the emperor's wish, but she also destroyed it with her own hands, which is too unacceptable.

Lan Xin was frightened and didn't know what to do, she let out a weak breath, looked at the emperor who was lying on the nurse, grieving, and her heart was like a knife: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't know, what is going on." But the concubine can be sure that it must not be someone from Changchun Palace who poisoned the nurse. ”

Hongli never spoke, nor did he cry, and all the expressions on his face were nothing but disbelief and despair.

"Your Majesty, concubines ......" Lan Xin didn't know what else to say to clear his suspicion, but there were only four people who knew about it. She, Xue Guining, Duolan, and Jinlan are only. If it weren't for the people around him, it would be the Queen Mother. "The concubine will send the imperial doctor." Lan Xin turned around suddenly, his steps like the wind.

"The nurse is dead, and Hua Tuo is afraid that he will not be able to do it when he is reborn." Hongli's voice couldn't tell whether it was resentment or blame, anyway, it was very cold and blunt. Even the peak of the eyebrows seems to provoke a cold, cold into the eyes, a thick that cannot be dissolved, and a knot that cannot be untied. It was Lan Xin who gave him hope, and at the same time as he had hope, he watched everything disappear.

Lan Xin slowly turned around, walked up gently, and knelt in front of Hongli without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know what is going on, last night, the concubine had already rested......"

Just as Lan Xin was about to narrate the matter one by one, he heard Xue Guining's voice through the two doors. "Queen Mother, Gao Xiang of Cining Palace is here. said that you are invited to Cining Palace to serve the Queen Mother. ”

Hongli stood up, and the despair in his eyes intensified: "The queen will go to Cining Palace to serve the sick." Turning around, Hongli didn't know what else he could say.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the concubines are going to disobey the Queen Mother's will." Lan Xin knew that if he went to Cining Palace at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to open the emperor's heart knot if he did anything in the future. "Since the nurse Ruying died in Changchun Palace, even if the concubine does not sleep, she is bound to find out the truth. Otherwise, how can the holy anger be appeased, and how can the suspicion of the concubines be washed away. Ask the emperor to give the concubines a chance so that they can prove their innocence. ”

Smiled coldly, there was a deep chill between Hongli's eyebrows: "I never said that you were suspicious, Queen, and I never said that you were not innocent enough. Whether the queen is too hearty, or whether there is no silver here, you yourself understand. ”

At this moment, Lan Xin finally understood what a clear sky thunderbolt was. At the age of fifteen, she became the blessing of Hongli, and to this day, ten years of love can be erased in one sentence. What kind of love is this, what kind of flounder is deep, but it is just something that can be written off with one sentence.

"The concubine doesn't understand." Lan Xin burst into tears, and coldly snorted at Xue Guining outside the double gate: "This palace has no kung fu to serve the sick, send Gao Xiang back." Seal the palace gate first, and then lead Duolan and Jinlan in. There can be no delay. ”

Hongli was originally reluctant to conflict with Lan Xin, he wanted to go back to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, quietly think about the cause and effect of the whole thing, and calm his mind. But Lan Xin, who has always been submissive, is also stubborn at this time, which really makes him dissatisfied. "Is the queen going to be a concubine?"

Coming up in one breath, Lan Xin suddenly understood Concubine Xian's distress. Being questioned, distrusted, or even disgusted by the people you love deeply, the taste of speaking ill of each other is really unbearable. "The concubine doesn't dare to be a concubine, the concubine is the queen. Your Majesty, it is clear that you have doubts in your heart, and it is clear that you don't believe that it was the concubine who did it, why can't you calmly let the concubine figure out this matter. ”

Tears welled up, and Lan Xin only felt suffocated in her chest: "If the concubine wants to kill the nurse, why didn't she do it earlier, but she had to wait for you to come, in front of you?" With such an obvious frame-up, the emperor really can't see it, or are you willing not to trust your concubines? ”
