Chengqian Palace.

Rong Jue flipped through the folds of the table, and his face was unhappy. In the past, he spent a lot of time as his carefree son, but now he has to approve the reading of these pieces until the middle of the night, and he has no time to wander around casually during the day.

Huo Qinglan came in.

Rong Jue didn't raise his eyelids, and asked lazily: "He won't let you check King Rui, right?" ”

"Did the master guess?" Huo Qinglan's face froze. He originally wanted to hide from his master and the queen mother, and quietly investigate it in private, but now it seems that he is afraid that it will not work.

The corners of Rong Jue's mouth curled and he didn't speak.

What's there to guess about this? According to Wan'er's character, she is naturally reluctant to hurt her loved ones. Calculated carefully, Zongzheng Shaoqing is not only her first love in her previous life, but also her half-brother! Good sister protects big brother...... Well, he can't be jealous, right?

"Master, the rumors outside have aroused public indignation, if it is really King Rui behind this, the consequences will be unimaginable! Zong Zheng Zhaoyan is dead, and our alliance with Zong Zheng Shaoqing is over, and the next ...... Zong Zheng Shaoqing is the only one who may threaten the master's position! Huo Qinglan looks stupid on weekdays, but at the critical moment, everyone is sober.

Rong Jue suddenly put down the brush in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at him deeply: "She won't let her check it, she will do it according to her wishes!" ”

"Master! Why is the queen so arrogant that you are also messing around?! Huo Qinglan was so anxious that he hugged his arms.

Rong Jue spread his hands and said, "Do you know...... What did you just say? ”

Huo Qinglan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates are guilty!" ”

"Stand down!" Rong Jue glanced at him lightly.

Huo Qinglan made a grimace at the ground, and then walked out of the Chengqian Hall with a look of grievance.

Rui Wang's Mansion, underground secret room.

The mist in the center of the secret room was layered, and when you looked closer, you could see that there was an ice bed there, and there was a lifeless child lying on the ice bed. That child was none other than His Majesty's only son, Ling'er, who disappeared in the palace.

Zong Zheng Shaoqing stretched out his hand and stroked Ling'er's cold side face, and his brows furrowed.

Dusty broke in with an anxious face: "Master, it's not good!" Rumors outside spread ten, ten, hundreds, and everyone in the capital knew that the Rong family had killed the six orphans of Zongzheng Lao'er overnight, and cruelly dismembered the corpses! The subordinates checked a few people, and found that ......"

"What did you find?" Zong Zheng Shaoqing said lightly, obviously not taking this matter to heart. All he cares about is Ling'er's life or death.

"I found out that those rumors were actually spread by the subordinates of the Rui Wangfu!" Dusty brows twisted into a ball, "If the Queen Mother knows about this, Bao Zhun'er will search the Rui Palace!" Let's hide Ling'er in the underground secret room, and sooner or later someone will find out. ”

"So what?" Zong Zheng Shaoqing asked with some displeasure.

"Send Ling'er back!" Dusty gritted his teeth, "Although he called you Daddy, he was ...... After all, it's Rong Jue's blood! His life and death, let Rong Jue worry about it! Why are we going to go through this troubled water?! ”

"There are already dead people in the palace, and we have already traveled if we don't want to go through this troubled water, so we can't choose at all!" As he spoke, Zong Zheng Shaoqing squatted down and reached out to stroke Ling'er's lifeless face, "Besides, only you and I know Ling'er's origin." Send him back to the palace, and he won't survive! ”
