Chapter 438: A Hidden Shortcut

Hearing the sound of the emperor's arrival, Ding Ruolan suddenly got up, and accidentally touched the tea set on the table to the ground, and before she could pick up the pieces on the ground, the bright yellow figure had already appeared at the door of the room.

Ding Ruolan hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The concubines see the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Nangong Yihan's cold eyes swept over Ding Ruolan, and she didn't mean to get up, she stepped into the room and sat on the chair, Ding Ruolan didn't get Nangong Yihan's permission, so naturally she didn't dare to get up at will, just moved her body, and continued to kneel respectfully facing Nangong Yihan.

"Ding Ruolan, you are guilty." Nangong Yihan got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Ding Ruolan's body sank, and she kowtowed deeply and said, "Back to the emperor, the concubines don't know what's wrong." ”

"I don't know? If you hadn't told your father the news of the queen's departure from the palace, how could the queen have been assassinated, do you know that it is not enough to murder the queen and kill the emperor's heir is to compensate the heads of the nine clans of your Ding family. Nangong Yihan gritted his teeth and said.

When he received Ye Wushuang's news and learned that Chu Lixue had just escaped death, he was really surprised and delighted. It was shocking that someone dared to blatantly assassinate the queen, and happily, someone saved Chu Lixue at a critical moment and ensured the safety of her and the child.

Now, Chu Lixue lives in Bisong Villa, and Murong Lingxiang's Black Feather Army protects him, which makes him feel a lot more relieved, at least Chu Lixue's safety is not a big problem, and the only difficulty now is how to persuade Chu Lixue to return to the palace.

I don't know if he let the remnant wind bring the purse, did Chu Lixue see it, if she saw her, would she have any other thoughts? The original intention of sending the purse was to hope that Chu Lixue would remember the agreement between them when she saw the purse, so that she could dissipate her anger and return to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the assassination of the queen's mother has nothing to do with the concubines, all of this was done by Wang Tong in order to please his father, and his father really did not instruct Wang Tong to do any period." Ding Ruolan cried.

"Hmph, Ding Ruolan, I didn't say that the person who assassinated the queen was Wang Tong, if you don't know, how can you know about Wang Tong?" Nangong Yi said coldly.

Hearing this, Ding Ruolan was slightly stunned, yes, why did she leak her mouth? The emperor didn't mention Wang Tong, but he ...... it, it's really damned, fortunately, Wang Tong is dead, there is no proof of death, if the emperor had conclusive evidence, he would have sent her Ding family to prison for questioning, so why just come to warn so simple.

Thinking of this, Ding Ruolan knelt up straight and said with pear blossoms and rain: "Your Majesty, the concubine also listened to the people in the palace, saying that it was Lord Wang Tong of Xinqi Town, because he was reprimanded by the queen's mother, he was dissatisfied, and in addition, he had been supported by his father, and he wanted to invite merit, so he did the wrong thing, but the father and the concubine were indeed wronged, the emperor can't deduct this trumped-up charge on the concubine because he loves the mother deeply, and the concubine has not competed for favor since entering the palace and has lived in harmony with other concubines, please let the emperor know." ”

After listening to Ding Ruolan's remarks, he was really a little speechless, indeed, if it weren't for the lack of conclusive evidence, how could he have been so simple as a warning, he would have already thrown her into the tiger cage, no, it's better to put her in prison and wait for death, such a vicious person, if the white tiger eats it, he will definitely have indigestion.

"Ding Ruolan, you and I know right and wrong, don't think that if there is no evidence for the time being, you will be fine, when I have the evidence of your assassination of the queen, it will be the day your Ding family will be destroyed." After finishing speaking, Nangong Yihan shook his sleeves and left Hanxiang Pavilion.

Ding Ruolan watched Nangong Yihan's departing back gradually disappear from view, and then she took a long breath, fortunately she was still relatively calm, if she was caught by the emperor, then she really couldn't tell.

All this is to blame on that Wang Tong, who couldn't kill a few unarmed women with the city guards, even if there were three people around the queen who knew martial arts, but the people she sent were enough to make those three people have no time to separate.

At this moment, Ling Er walked over quickly, "Niangniang, Ding Shangshu is outside asking to see you." ”

"My dad? Why did he come, it's all at this time, isn't it messy enough? Tell him that Bengong didn't have the heart to see him, let him go back, and quickly threw Wang Tong's head away, and it was not too bad to put it at home. Ding Ruolan said angrily.

Ling Er originally wanted to persuade a few more words, but it could be seen that Ding Ruolan's face was displeased, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she had to step out of the room.

At the gate of Hanxiang Pavilion, Ding Wei was pacing anxiously around, his hands were constantly rubbing, maybe only in this way could he be able to settle down a little.

Seeing Ling Er coming out quickly, Ding Wei stepped forward and said, "How is it?" Let's go in now, shall we? ”

Ding Wei was just about to take a step, Ling Er stretched out his hand and said: "Lord Ding, you better go back, the emperor has just come, Niang Niang is in a very bad mood, Niang Niang said, let Lord Ding go back and deal with Lord Wang Tong's head first, and the rest will not explain anything." ”

"Ling'er, you go and talk to Niangniang again, I must see Niangniang today, otherwise I ......"

"Lord Ding, don't bother, Niangniang is in a bad mood, even if you go in to see Niangniang, it won't be able to talk about things, it's better for you to do what Niangniang tells you first, Niangniang will be in a better mood in two days, you come again." Ling Er persuaded softly.

After listening to Ling Er's words, Ding Wei frowned, and said in his heart, since his daughter is in a bad mood, it is better not to disturb her, too, Wang Tong's head is still lost in his own backyard, if he doesn't deal with it quickly, I'm afraid there will be other troubles. Thinking of this, Ding Wei didn't care much, just briefly explained a few words to Ling Er, and left in a hurry.

How did Ding Wei know that the scene of Fang Cai all fell into Nangong Kai's eyes, early in the morning, he had already heard that someone had assassinated the queen, and he secretly told himself that he must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes can't wait.

Ding Wei hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace gate, and Nangong Kai also hurriedly chased after him, chasing Ding Wei all the way back to Ding's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Ding Wei was in a hurry to ask the housekeeper to send someone to dig up Wang Tong's head from the flower pond in the back garden and throw it into the mass grave.

But when the housekeeper brought people to the flower pond, he saw that the flowers in the flower pond were crooked, and Wang Tong's head had long since disappeared.

When Ding Wei heard the news, he patted his thigh and said with a smile: "It's okay, the thief who stole things must have thought that it was all jewelry, but he didn't think that it was a human head, hahaha, this thief really solved my urgent need." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Kai frowned slightly, it is not easy for someone to enter the Ding Mansion to steal things so easily, otherwise, those guards of the Ding Mansion would also be able to go home and rest.

Since Nangong Yihan went to Hanxiang Pavilion, Ding Ruolan rarely appeared in front of everyone, and the other concubines in the palace also heard some news from everywhere, and gradually stayed away from Ding Ruolan.

Late at night, Chu Lixue was walking in the yard, because the waning moon and remnant snow were still recuperating from their injuries, so the only person who accompanied Chu Lixue was Hanjiang.

The two walked together, and unconsciously came to the back mountain of Bisong Villa, which was more beautiful at night, and the clouds and mist were shrouded, as if it was a fairyland.

Suddenly, Chu Lixue heard the sound of a wooden shaft turning, and then heard a bell, and a wooden bridge suddenly appeared in front of Chu Lixue.

How can there be a wooden bridge here? Take a closer look, isn't the opposite side of the bridge Murong Villa? Then this bridge, undoubtedly, is a shortcut for Murong Villa to get here.

Bisong Villa was originally Murong Lingxiang's property, she was just a passerby, and she didn't have any qualifications to pay attention to the shortcuts here, did she?

Chu Lixue was just about to leave when she heard a familiar female voice, "Brother Ling Xiang, this shortcut you made is really secretive, who would have thought that there was a wooden bridge in the cliff between Murong Villa and Bisong Villa." ”

"Pei Yao, you go back first, I'll go to Bisong Villa and have something to deal with." Murong Lingxiang said impatiently.

"Is there anything important to deal with? Are you going to find that woman, she is already someone else's wife, seeing that she is still running around outside with a big belly, I think she is not liked by her husband, Brother Ling Xiang, it is impossible for you to be with her, Uncle Murong will not agree. ”

"Pei Yao, don't talk nonsense, she is Miss Ling of Medicine King Valley, Medicine King Valley's status in the rivers and lakes is not low, don't forget, the Heart Protecting Pill that your father takes, but the unique secret medicine of Medicine King Valley, if you offend Miss Ling, your father will be affected by you." Murong Lingxiang said coldly.

Hearing this, the woman named Pei Yao didn't know what to say for an instant. She never thought that the dignified Miss Gu of Medicine King would be running around outside with a big belly. However, she didn't seem to have heard of it, there was another young lady in the Medicine King Valley, wasn't there only one young valley master in the Medicine King Valley? So, this Ling girl...... Could it be ......

The two of them passed through the clouds and mist, and happened to see Chu Lixue and Han Jiang standing in front of them, Pei Yao remembered what Murong Lingxiang had said to her, and naturally she didn't dare to yell at Chu Lixue anymore.

"Miss Ling, you still haven't rested so late, pregnant women need to rest more." Pei Yao said with a smile.

"This girl, don't worry, our young lady will definitely not treat the entire Yin Family Fort badly because of your mistakes."

Hearing this, Pei Yao was slightly stunned, how did the handsome man in front of him know that he was from Yin Jiabao? This is only the second time they've met. How do you already know your own details? Could it be that Brother Ling Xiang told them? If this is really the case, it means that she still has a certain status in Ling Xiang's brother's heart, otherwise, how would others know that she is the eldest lady of Yin Jiabao?
