Chapter 170: Don't let go
Gao Xian was declared by the emperor with an injury, and Tuoba Hong did not believe that Concubine Rong went to assassinate the Empress Dowager in Fangshan.
"Are you really seeing Concubine Rong?" The Emperor asked with a puzzled look on his face how he could believe what the Praetorian Guards said.
Gao Xian condensed and replied calmly, "As far as the minister can see, there is indeed a person who looks similar to the concubine, but it is by no means a concubine, and the minister's understanding of the concubine, the concubine has never known martial arts, and there is no motive and reason to assassinate the empress dowager." ”
The emperor was stunned, so to speak, this time the Empress Dowager went to Fangshan, and the person who came to assassinate was indeed such a person who looked similar to Concubine Rong.
"Who do you think that person will be?" Tuoba Hong asked Gao Xian.
Gao Xian shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Indeed, he did not know, and he did not believe. He believed more that maybe it was really that person, the wolf girl that the Empress Dowager said. The portrait that the second sister once showed him said was the one who assassinated the third aunt.
Gao Xian may really be the person who is suspicious.
He really told the emperor about that person, the person who broke into the mansion and assassinated the third aunt, and the third aunt also left a portrait of that person, the younger sister of Da Xilan that Concubine Rong told him.
Maybe it's really that person.
Gao Xian was very contemplative, and he didn't know whether to explain this situation to the emperor.
Seeing Gao Xian's deep thought, Tuoba Hong hurriedly asked, "If you know something, just say it, if you can clear Rong'er's name." ”
Gao Xian pondered for a long time and groaned, "The minister knows such a person......"
Tuoba Hong said urgently, "Who is it?" ”
"The murderer who broke into my Gaofu many years ago and assassinated my father's third aunt." Gao Xian looked at the emperor and said.
Takubahong frowned, "Who is she?" ”
"My father's third aunt's younger sister." Gao Xian replied, "The minister has seen the portrait of that woman, and she looks very much like Concubine Rong. ”
"Is there such a person?" Tuoba Hong muttered to himself and frowned, walking back and forth.
Gao Xian looked at the emperor in a daze.
"Someone." Tuoba Hong called.
Gong Yi walked in.
"Preach high and come to see me." Tuoba Hongdao.
Gao Xian and the emperor waited for Gao Yang to come, and when Gao Yang came, he glanced at Gao Xian and hurriedly saluted the emperor.
Tuoba Hong's face was not good, and he didn't want Rong'er to stay in the prison for too long, so he asked Gao Yang anxiously.
"I heard Lieutenant General Lang say that the third lady of the national abbot had a junior sister who looked very similar to Rong'er, didn't he?"
Gao Yang was stunned, glanced at Gao Xian, and replied to the emperor's words, "Yes, the third lady of the minister did have a junior sister who was very similar to the concubine back then. ”
"Who's that woman?" The Emperor looked at Gao Yang and asked.
Gao Xian also looked at his father, and he knew that his father must know.
Gao Yang was silent, his eyes lowered.
"You're going to talk about it." The emperor was in a hurry.
"Otosa." Gao Yang said the name in a half-loud voice.
Acetobar?
Tuoba Hong and Gao Xian were full of doubts at the same time, not knowing who this Yihua was.
"Who is Otoku?" Tuoba Hong asked.
Gao Yang knew that he should not hide anything, so he told everything he knew.
"The younger sister of the third lady of the minister is also the daughter of the minister Yihun back then."
Tuoba Hong and Gao Xian were stunned at the same time, because Gao Yang said Yihun. Yihun is a former courtier, who was killed by the Empress Dowager and killed the nine clans, and the rebel of the imperial court.
Gao Yang said this, which means that his third lady was the same master as the thief back then, and they were on the same line, if they were investigated, Gao Yang and Yihun would not be able to get rid of each other, but after so many years, Gao Yang felt that even if the court and the emperor knew about such a relationship, it should be nothing. After all, he did not participate in the rebellion of Yihun that year.
Tuoba Hong chuckled, "What does the national lord mean is that your third lady and the thief know each other, or are they senior sisters?" ”
Gao Yang replied respectfully, "The minister knows, but the minister is not familiar with this Yihua, and the minister has never seen this woman, and this woman also broke into the minister's mansion at night and assassinated the minister's third lady." ”
"And do you know where this Otokush is now?" Tuoba continued to ask.
"I don't know." Gao Yang shook his head.
The hall was quiet for a while, and Tuoba Hong walked back and forth.
He recalled the words of the Empress Dowager and said that Concubine Rong was the wolf girl. He understood who the wolf girl in the Empress Dowager's mouth was referring to, that is, the woman who assassinated the Empress Dowager in Li Yi's cemetery. This matter has always left a shadow in the heart of the Empress Dowager, and for so many years, the emperor is also very clear about this matter.
However, didn't you say that the woman should have died?
"Does the national ruler know about Li Yi's cemetery back then?" Tuoba Hong asked him after standing still.
Gao Yang replied without thinking, "This matter is clear to the minister. ”
"So do you think the wolf girl might still be alive?" Tuoba Hong asked.
After thinking lightly, Gao Yang replied, "It was rumored that the wolf girl was shot by the forbidden army after breaking into Li Yi's cemetery, she should have died, and she never appeared again in that day." ”
"But if he is really dead, why did Gao Xian see a woman who looked like Rong'er, could it be that the woman back then was still alive?" Tuoba Hong Zhengse said and looked at Gao Xian again.
"This ...... I can't say, maybe the woman is really not dead. Gao Yang replied.
When Tuoba Hong heard this, he felt a little more comfortable, "Then can the prince go and tell the empress dowager what you just said, only in this way can Rong'er clear his suspicion, and this matter has nothing to do with Rong'er." ”
Gao Yang frowned, hesitated and replied, "The minister can go and say." ”
"That's fine, then you can go now." Tuoba Hong smiled, as if relieved.
"Yes, I'll go." Praise and courtesy.
"Wait, I'm going to go together." After Tuoba Hong finished speaking, he took a step forward and walked first, and just took a step and turned back to Gao Xiandao, "You are also together." ”
"Yes." Gao Xian replied.

In front of the thatched hut deep in the mountains and dense forests, Xiao Jingqi stood by the rock, and his subordinate Cheng You was assembling with more than 20 subordinates.
Xiao Jingqi wanted to go to the palace to save people, this was an order he hurriedly issued after hearing that Concubine Rong Guifei was thrown into prison.
He wanted to stay any longer, nervousness and worry all written on his face.
Nangong Ni came out of the hut with some difficulty, she was seriously injured, and Xiao Jingqi had been showing her injuries all this time. To be able to save Nangong Ni's life, he has done his best, and he doesn't want Nangong Ni to lose his life like this because of Huan'er's matter.
"Master Hou, no." Nangong Ni said after walking out. She has to stop Hou Ye's actions, and she can't be distracted.
Xiao Jingqi glanced at her and didn't respond to her.
Nangong Ni continued, "There are just a few of us, how can we go to the palace to save people?" Besides, even if Concubine Rong goes to prison, there may not be anything wrong, Hou Ye still inquired clearly first, and then it was not too late to act. ”
Ju Yang didn't speak on the side, there was no way yet.
You Ran sat on the boulder and suddenly stood up, and said, "You can mobilize the people of Qingfeng Gate to come and rescue the master of Gate B, and besides, Xuanjia is dead, and my people from Qingfeng Gate can't swallow this revenge." ”
Nangong Ni said calmly, "We still have to think of a good way to act again, we can't rush into the palace to save people, isn't Qingfengmen a brother?" ”
Nangong Ni paused, and then said, "If Concubine Rong is really fine, then there is no need for the brothers to send them to death, after all, it is the palace." ”
Xiao Jingqi didn't speak, Nangong Ni looked at him as he spoke.
"Master Hou......" Nangong Ni called him.
Xiao Jingqi raised her hand and asked her to stop and continue to say something. Said slowly, "Ben Hou has his own measure. ”
Everyone looked at Xiao Jingqi, waiting for his next order.
After half a sound, Xiao Jingqi said, "For the time being, stay here first, and wait for Ben Hou to go to a place, and then come back." ”
Nangong Ni was stunned and asked, "Where is Master Hou going?" ”
Xiao Jingqi glanced at her, "You don't need to know this, you can just recuperate here with peace of mind." ”
Xiao Jingqi walked away, and Cheng You immediately followed.
Xiao Jingqi turned back to him and said, "You also stay here, you don't need to follow this one." ”
Cheng You responded like an order, "Yes." ”

After the Empress Dowager listened to Gao Yang's words, she also knew in her heart that the wolf girl back then and Concubine Rong at this time should have nothing to do with it, but that day, when she saw Concubine Rong's eyes, her appearance and the eyes that made her unforgettable, she only thought of the wolf girl.
No, it should be. She will never forget what kind of eyes the wolf girl used in Li Yi's cemetery.
"No, people can't let go!" The Empress Dowager said coldly.
She is not afraid of just in case, she is afraid of 10,000.
Because the Empress Dowager knew that Gao Zhaorong encountered a misfortune on the way back to Pingcheng, and returned to Pingcheng for more than a month, but lost his memory. In her heart, she thought that maybe Gao Zhaorong was really dead at that time, and the one who came back was just someone who replaced her identity, and the person who replaced Gao Zhaorong's identity should be the wolf girl.
The Empress Dowager thought so in her heart, so she didn't want to let Concubine Rong go easily.
She was afraid that Concubine Rong would assassinate her again after she came out, and no one knew the fear in her heart.
"Imperial grandmother, how can you be like this, and you must detain irrelevant people on Rong'er's head." Tuoba Hong was a little angry.
"Emperor, don't say it anymore, before the mourning family is investigated, you won't let Concubine Rong go." The Empress Dowager's face was cold, and her tone was firm.
"Grandmother Huang, what exactly do you want to find out?" Tuoba Hong sneered, "You make me feel that it's just that you don't like Concubine Rong, don't like me to pamper her, and give her a false accusation." ”
"Presumptuous! Have you ever talked to the mourners like that? The Empress Dowager coughed as she spoke, and her face turned green.
Liu Asu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the old ancestor is just getting better, don't make the old ancestor angry first,"
Tuoba Hong flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Gao Xianchao hurriedly followed the emperor after a salute to the empress dowager.
"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" After Gao Xian caught up with the emperor, he asked uneasily.
"I personally went to the prison of the Tingwei Mansion to pick up Rong'er out." Tuoba Hong said solemnly, and the big stride had already walked in the direction of the Imperial Governor's Mansion.
"But the Empress Dowager blames it."
Gao Xian was still worried.
Tuoba Hong stopped abruptly, "If this is the case, even if I don't become this emperor, it's just like that." ”
Gao Xian looked stunned, not understanding, why such a big thing happened.
"The minister accompanies the emperor." Gao Xian said sincerely, he is not afraid, he is not afraid of death, because it is his second sister who is locked up.
