Xingluan told Rong Guiren that he was the suspect who killed Gao Li, but Tuoba Hong didn't say a word in front of her.

Not only did he not say it, but he also asked Gonggong Zhou to draft a decree to seal Rong Guifei as "Rong Guifei".

Tuoba Hong's move is to elevate Gao Zhaorong's identity, even if he wants to handle the case, he has to consider it.

However, after hearing about Xing Luan's case, he didn't believe that Rong'er would be the mastermind behind the killing of Gao Li.

Xingluan received his will and needed to investigate it carefully, and the imperial concubine could not be wronged at will.

Xing Luan also understood that without evidence, he could not take any other actions, including asking Rong Guiren.

When Empress Feng Yueyan heard the news, she immediately complained about the emperor's approach, went directly to the Taihe Palace, and said to Tuoba Hong, "The emperor wants to protect Rong nobles?" ”

Tuoba Hong glanced at her, didn't bother to pay attention to her, continued to look at the folds, and didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty." Feng Yueyan's expression sank slightly.

Tuoba Hong frowned slightly: "I have my own measure, I don't need the queen to say much here, the queen please go back." ”

Feng Yueyan was bored and walked out of the Taihe Hall and went straight to the Taihua Hall of the Empress Dowager.

And the Empress Dowager was silent.

In the absence of direct evidence, the Empress Dowager did not arbitrarily determine whether a person was guilty or not, even if she didn't like Rong Guiren, she also thought that Gao Zhaorong was now the emperor's nobleman.

She will still give the emperor face.

Even if the emperor wanted to add another crown to the nobles, she agreed.

Rong Guiren already has a dragon son, and the emperor wants to seal her, but she just said that there are too few concubines in the harem, and the emperor can't favor Rong Guiren alone, so he has to enrich the harem.

Tuoba Hong didn't refute.

The Empress Dowager asked him to select some Han women from the Han family who were on the table and had a family background.

Tuoba Hong's heart has long wanted to integrate the Xianbei and Han people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even more wants to sinicize the nobles of the imperial court, so he agreed.

And when I heard that Tuoba Hong was going to enrich the harem, I didn't react much, he was the emperor, and the harem concubines couldn't have been these two.

As for identity, whether it is Rong Guiren or Rong Guifei, it is just me.

When Gonggong Zhou came to announce the decree, I was not very excited, but the slaves and maids in Zhaorong Palace were all very excited.

I don't want them to be disappointed by my dullness, so I let the bamboo inkstone reward every slave and maid.

With pregnancy, Zhu Yan is very good at serving me, and the slaves and maids in the Quan Zhaorong Palace are also very good at protecting me.

Tuoba Hong even strengthened the patrol guards outside my palace, for fear that someone would disturb me.

I was so bored that I was drawing in front of the bookcase, and my mind thought about Gao Li again, her death was a mystery.

I asked Zhang Xinpu to inquire about the news and see what progress was made in Jingzhao Mansion, and Zhang Xinpu replied to me that there was no clue yet.

Suddenly, I remembered that back then, Gao Li pushed Wang Zhen'er into the river, and Li Minxin also participated at that time.

Could it be that Li Minxin poisoned Gao Li?

She tried to kill her mouth.

But if you really want to extinguish your mouth, why wait until this time, you can do it back then.

I suddenly remembered the painting I saw painted by the King of Beihai in Mengxian Residence, and the woman in the painting only knew that she was Wang Zhen'er when I remembered this memory.

Wang Zhen'er is the favorite person of the King of Beihai, and he drowned that day, will the King of Beihai already know the truth, so he killed Gao Li?

I stopped my pen in a daze, sat down quietly, and looked at the painting, I unconsciously painted the painting of Wang Zhen'er painted by the King of Beihai in Mengxian Residence.

I didn't expect that I would subconsciously draw her.

I didn't even feel when Zhu Yan brought me tonic soup.

She was looking at the picture I had drawn, and after a little hesitation, she whispered, "Niangniang is painting Miss Zhen'er?" ”

I looked up at her in a daze, and Zhu Yan actually knew Wang Zhen'er.

"You know her?" I wondered.

Zhu Yan said respectfully, "Yes, Miss Zhen'er and the princes studied together, and the queen mother liked her very much at that time, and she didn't need a waist card to enter the palace." ”

I was stunned in my heart, no wonder the King of the North Sea liked her, but because we often met.

"What kind of person is she?" I unconsciously thought it through, and after that, I felt like I shouldn't have asked the right question.

Zhu Yan must think that I care too much about the people who have passed away.

Zhu Yan smiled slightly and replied to me, "Miss Zhen'er is very good, very kind, and has a good temperament, she doesn't have any face for us slaves and maids, and every time she sees a slave and maid, she will take the initiative to say hello." ”

"You like her too?" I smiled softly.

Zhu Yan bowed slightly, "Yes, many slaves and maids in the palace like her, and His Royal Highness the King of Beihai has liked her for many years, she is a likable woman." ”

Zhu Yan also knew that the King of the North Sea liked her.

I unconsciously asked, "The King of the North Sea likes her very much?" ”

Zhu Yan may have realized that he shouldn't talk about what the prince did, so he apologized, "The slave and maid shouldn't talk about this, but the mother asked, and the slave and maid can say." She paused and said, "The slave maid has seen the eyes of the King of the North Sea looking at Miss Zhen'er, so the slave maid knows." ”

I smiled casually, with a face that was not very self-conscious, I didn't ask any more, and Zhu Yan didn't say any more.

Late at night, I woke up suddenly, and somehow remembered what Xiao Jingqi said to me that night in Gaofu, he said, "I'll help you, you're too kind." ”

It dawned on me what he meant.

Did he know that my mother was Gao Li's doing?

He wanted to help me, so he killed Gao Li.

I was nervous, and turned my head to look at Takubahiro, who was sleeping heavily.

If it's really him, he's a grass people, and he will let Xingluan know it?

If the real culprit is the King of the North Sea, there may be a slight turnaround, but if it is him, it will be like pinching an ant to death.

He shouldn't have risked his life for my sake.

How can this be?

I'm not bothering him.

I took my breath and turned my head again, not daring to let Takubahiro notice my uneasiness.

I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep, maybe I was thinking too much.

I don't know if I didn't sleep well last night, or because I was pregnant and tired, when I woke up, Tuoba Hong had already gone to the morning court.

And I was in a trance all morning.

I was afraid that my suspicion was true, and that I had to meet him.

I was nervous, for what reason I went out of the palace.

After I was restless for a day, the opportunity came, Tuoba Hong and the Empress Dowager were going to inspect Fangshan Guling, and they would return to the palace after two or three days.

I waited for the Empress Dowager's convoy to leave the palace, so I packed up my clothes and took my maidservant Yinglin out of the palace gate.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, when Yinglin showed my Zhaoyang Palace sign to the city gatekeeper, the gatekeeper hesitated, came to my car curtain, and said respectfully, "Niangniang wants to leave the palace?" ”

The curtain of the car was not lifted, and I said in the car, "There are some things going out of the palace in this palace, do you need to ask too much?" ”

The guard said softly, "The slave doesn't dare to ask more, there was a traitor in the capital some time ago, and the court is still chasing it, I am afraid that there will be a hidden rebel outside the city, and the mother will go out of the palace alone, and the slave is worried about the safety of the mother." ”

I smiled: "You don't have to think too much about the safety of this palace, this palace is just upset to go out of the city for a walk, do you minions still have to take care of the head of this palace?" ”

My voice was a little sharp, and the guard didn't dare to say anything more, so I had to let go.

The carriage went all the way to Youyuzhuang.

When Yinglin knocked on the door outside Youyuzhuang, Yu Bo opened the door and saw me, his face full of surprise.

I frowned slightly, and asked with a smile, "Bai Langzhong is in the house?" ”

Uncle Yu hurriedly welcomed me in, but said, "The head of the house is out, the mother can wait in the village, maybe the head of the house will be back soon." ”

As I walked towards the inner courtyard, I casually asked, "Where did Bai Langzhong go?" ”

Yu Bo replied respectfully, "The head of the family has gone to the mountains to look for herbs, and he should return in a short time." ”

Walking through the garden of the outer courtyard, Yu Bo led me to the attic of the inner courtyard.

This Youyuzhuang is really spacious, and when I visited for the first time, I felt that there was such a large courtyard in Bailang, and I am afraid that a lot of money was collected when saving people and treating diseases, otherwise how could there be such a rich family background.

But he has such a big garden, and there are few slaves in the house.

Uncle Yu summoned a maidservant to busily bring me tea and water to put snacks, he still hung his head and said respectfully, "There is Lao Niangniang waiting here." ”

After the slave was placed, Yinglin asked her to step down, saying that she could serve me.

I glanced at the figure of the servant girl who bowed and retreated, and suddenly remembered that there was once a servant girl in Xiao Jingqi's manor.

When I first came, when Nangong Ni set up the piano, the maidservant was there to help.

Nangong Ni called her "Yi'er".

Yes, I suddenly remembered Yi'er's appearance at this time, but I suddenly thought of the familiar maidservant figure among the new palace maids.

The Yi'er next to the queen.

Could that Yi'er be the maidservant girl that Xiao Jingqi used to be in this manor?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted to the maid who had already walked out, "You wait. ”

Yu Bo, who hadn't yet withdrawn, looked at me, and the maid heard my call and hurriedly turned around and walked up to me to salute, "Niangniang calls the slave maid, but what else do you need?" ”

My voice sank into my ears, "Is there a slave named Yi'er in Youyuzhuang?" ”

As soon as my words came out, Yu Bo was stunned, and the maid didn't react much, still replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

"Where's Yi'er?" I asked, looking at me for a moment.

Yu Bo suddenly snatched the slave maid and wanted to reply to me, "Back to Niangniang, the head of the family fired Yi'er, and Yi'er is not in the village at this time." ”

Dismiss? That's not in this manor.

I asked in a cold voice, "Where did she go?" "I just want to know if the Yi'er in the palace will be this Yi'er.

The slave shook her head, it was obvious that she didn't know, and I could still see her expression.

But Yu Bo was different, obviously a little nervous.

When I looked at his face, there was a twinkle in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

He smiled and bowed: "This minion doesn't know, she should be back to her hometown." ”

I muttered, "Why did Bai Langzhong fire her?" ”

Yu Bo lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me, and replied softly, "Miss Yi'er said that she wanted to go back to her hometown to marry, and the head of the family fired her. ”

Yes, is this really the case, then why is she in the palace, didn't she return to her hometown to get married?

I smiled quietly, "Is there a connection between Yu Bo and Yi'er?" ”

He still lowered his eyes, "After Yi'er left the village, she has not contacted the head of the family and the village, and the old slave doesn't know how good she is now." ”

Maybe I asked too many about the whereabouts of a slave and maid, and it was inevitable that Yu Bo would be a little suspicious.

Maybe Yi'er was really fired before she went to the palace to be a maid again.

All this may not have anything to do with Xiao Jingqi, is I thinking too much?
