Feng Huali shook her head firmly, she believed in Meng Wanzhou, just as Caihe believed in herself, Feng Huali never thought that this matter had anything to do with Meng Wanzhou: "Don't say it, she is not that kind of person." ”

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Caihe's voice was much weaker: "But if you testify against Meng Wanzhou, you may be able to clear your suspicion." ”

"What do you think I'm for?" Feng Huali glared at Caihe, what he usually did, Caihe should know. Now it is a bit too much to ask yourself to betray your friends to gain peace.

Caihe closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak again. Caihe also brought some things to Feng Huali, after all, Feng Huali is here alone, and there will always be a lack of food and use.

On the other side, Rong Shuzhi was also taken to an old palace, where the records of the criminals of the past dynasties were placed, because they were very old, and few people would read them, so naturally no one took care of them here, so they all accumulated a lot of dust, and many books were moldy.

Rong Shuzhi and Su San came separately to find the concubine who was imprisoned seven years ago, but after looking for it all afternoon, Rong Shuzhi was sweating profusely and was so tired that he was about to faint. Who would have thought that the list here contains several criminals during the reign of the emperor, so many that there are too many to count.

Moreover, these things are not even classified, they are just arranged in such a mess, maybe this is the current emperor's, and the next one is the previous emperor's. So naturally, Rong Shuzhi didn't get anything, and it was like coming in vain.

Su San also came over at this time, and he hurriedly fanned Rong Shu, looking at his face and expression, he knew that he had found nothing. Rong Shu glanced at Su San, and suddenly felt as if he had been deceived by Yan Yu. I just came to a stuffy and moldy palace to find the name book of the year, but I still owe Yan Yu a favor, which is really not worth it.

"Go back and tell your emperor that the favor is written off." Rong Shuzhi said very impatiently, he wanted to laugh at him when he came to such a place, and he really thought too beautifully.

"This ...... Not quite right? Su San was a little embarrassed.

Rong Shuzhi glanced at Su San, and just wanted to take a favor away, and really treated him as a vegetarian: "Yes, yes, yes, it's not good, just go back and tell your emperor that from now on, he owes me a favor." ”

Su San was even more frightened, if he went back to report like this, he would not be scolded to death by Yan Yu. So Su San thought about it again and again, and finally came up with a method: "Although I can't find such a person, the villain has heard of something." ”

"Say something." Rong Shuzhi fanned himself and said.

Su San had heard of such a thing, that is, twenty years ago, the first emperor was so fascinated by Concubine Yue that she couldn't do it, no matter what she wanted, the first emperor would give it to her. Even the former emperor once said that he would rather give up the world than have a smile on the beauty.

But who would have thought that the emperor would run into Concubine Yue having an affair with others, and the emperor was furious at the moment and ordered Concubine Yue to be executed. But after all, the feelings were there, and the emperor couldn't bear it, so he spared her life and put her on death row for reflection.

Then Concubine Yue gave birth to a girl in prison, and Concubine Yue escaped from prison that night. The emperor was even more furious, but he did not deal with the girl, and kept her on death row. Because the emperor felt that if such a child was left, Concubine Yue would come back to her one day.

But after that, I didn't see Concubine Yue again for many years, and she seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Later, the emperor also had other favored concubines, and the matter gradually turned over, and no one mentioned it again.

So this matter was settled, except for the old man in the palace at that time, almost no one knew about it. And Su Sanzu's ancestors have been doing errands in this palace for generations, so he naturally has heard of such a strange thing.

"Know you didn't say it sooner?" Rong Shuzhi took a deep breath, since there was news for a long time, why did he waste so much time looking for it in vain, did this Su San do it on purpose.

Su San flattened his mouth: "It's not because you said it was seven years ago, but this incident was actually twenty years ago?" For the rest, the minions never heard of a concubine who had given birth to a child on death row. ”

It is also said that the gap between these 20 years and 7 years is indeed a bit big. Rong Shuzhi remembered that the child he saw that day, the figure was only no more than ten years old at most, but if this incident happened twenty years ago, wouldn't it mean that the child was already twenty years old.

But this sounds outrageous, but in this palace, the only thing that meets the requirements is the one that happened twenty years ago. Maybe if you follow that line, you won't be able to get the information you want. Rong Shuzhi hurriedly said, "Why don't you give me the portrait of that Concubine Yue?" ”

Su San glanced at Rong Shuzhi in embarrassment, he wanted to take it, but the portrait of Concubine Yue in this palace was destroyed, and Su San, the only person who owned it, did not dare to offend: "This portrait is only in the hands of the Queen Mother." ”

"The Queen Mother?" Rong Shuzhi frowned, realizing that the origin of this was not simple, "What does the Queen Mother want that painting to do." ”

"This, the little slave doesn't know." Su San said.

If you say that you will leave something for the emperor as a memorial, you will talk about the past. But leaving a portrait of the former emperor's favorite concubine, the queen mother's behavior is a bit too much. Who in this harem doesn't know that it is a battle to fight, and there is not a single concubine left in the first emperor's year, and it is not easy for the queen mother to come to this point.

Perhaps the Queen Mother had a grievance with Concubine Yue, so she kept her portrait and destroyed the portraits of everyone else. But this is also quite strange, how much hatred and injustice must be to be able to keep her portrait by his side.

Rong Shu stopped guessing here, and he couldn't guess what the result was, and he liked to go straight, so he decided to go directly to the Queen Mother to ask for the portrait, and by the way, ask what happened back then.

As the first prince of the Hidden Kingdom, he met the Queen Mother all the way unhindered. The Queen Mother was having leisure and made him a cup of tea: "I don't know what happened to come to the mourning family today?" ”

Rong Shuzhi said: "Show me the portrait of Concubine Yue." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect him to really give face, she didn't say a polite word, and came up to get down to business: "What do you want Concubine Yue's portrait to do?" ”

Rong Shuzhi glanced at her, because he didn't know what the relationship between her and Concubine Yue was, so he hid the matter of the child on death row, and only said that he was investigating some things. The Queen Mother was also very happy, and asked her subordinates to take the portrait on the spot, which made Rong Shuzhi feel more relieved.

He was originally worried that the Queen Mother would ask questions about herself, and refused to hand over the portrait to herself, but now it seems that the Queen Mother may not be evil in negotiating with that Concubine Yue, but she just kept such a picture.

The portrait was quickly served, and when he saw the beauty on the portrait for the first time, Rong Shuzhi was immediately sucked in his eyes. The woman's skin is like condensed fat, her eyebrows are clear, and her expression is like a smile that makes people fall into it.

Rong Shuzhi looked at it for a long time, but it was still difficult to take his eyes off. The Queen Mother saw it and smiled: "Your expression is exactly the same as the expression of the ministers when they saw Concubine Yue, everyone praised her as the pride of the sky, and it is really a blessing to be born so good-looking." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but think of back then, when Concubine Yue first entered the palace and was deeply loved by the emperor, and the Queen Mother was just a little maid at that time. Now that time has passed, the Queen Mother has become the Queen Mother admired by thousands of people, but Concubine Yue, who was like a god at that time, was ......

This is all fate, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't see her now, otherwise you will definitely think that she is incredibly beautiful." ”

Only then did Rong Shuzhi retract his gaze and put away the scroll. Although the woman in the painting was very beautiful, he was thinking about something else entirely. The more Rong Shuzhi looked at the woman in the painting, the more he felt that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the people he knew, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The Queen Mother praised Concubine Yue so much, thinking that she also knew something about her, so Rong Shuzhi asked: "What happened to Concubine Yue back then that she was put on death row?" ”

"I only know that the emperor saw her fornicating with other men with his own eyes, but before Concubine Yue was put on death row, she kept saying that she was wronged," the Queen Mother shook her head, "I don't know anything else, after all, I was just a servant girl back then." ”

Rong Shuzhi nodded, and the Queen Mother even agreed to let him take the portrait away, so Rong Shuzhi was even more convinced that she did not have a deep hatred with Concubine Yue.

Then the Queen Mother asked: "Why do you want to investigate the matter of Concubine Yue, after all, it is already a matter of the previous generation." ”

"It's just too idle, I just want to know more about your country." Rong Shuzhi smiled and prevaricated. Even if he believed the Queen Mother, he couldn't just tell her about it, otherwise if something happened to the child, it would all be his responsibility. After sitting like this for a while, Rong Shuzhi made an excuse to leave.

After seeing Rong Shuzhi leave, the Queen Mother recruited her personal slave: "Go find the old man of the west wind and find out what this Rong Shuzhi wants to do." ”

Cai Wei nodded, this old man of Zephyr is the most mysterious existence in the palace, no one knows where he comes from or how old he is, only that he has white hair, but his face is not old.

The old man of Zephyr knows a lot of things, and he knows almost everything about the news in all parts of the world. There are very few people in the palace who know him, and as the queen mother's personal maidservant, Cai Wei often goes to find this old man of the west wind, so she also has some understanding.

If you want to see this old man of the west wind, you have to bring two jars of good spring wine, and shout "west wind" three times at the north wall of the "Fengluo Palace" in the west, and the old man of the west wind will appear. The old man of Zephyr had a strange temper, and if he wanted to do things for himself, he had to exchange it for the finest Nine Brewing Springs, and he couldn't look down on even more gold than that.
