And recalling the scene when he went to find Ying'er that day, everything is still vivid.

It was a quiet afternoon, and when he came to this cold place in the West Palace, it was the second time he had come to look for Ying'er.

This is also the result of his discussions with Gao Fan several times. In his and Gao Fan's opinion, Ying'er may still know something and refuse to say it. The palace maid named Lianxiang has been missing for a long time, whether she is dead or alive, anyway, her clue has been broken. Therefore, Ying'er is also the only clue for him to find out the person behind it.

"Your Majesty, have you come to see me again?"

As before, when she saw Dugu Yi coming, Ying'er was very happy.

But when Dugu Yi thought about such a situation from a different angle, Na Ying'er seemed to know that he was coming.

Because what she showed was no longer as surprised as a concubine of very low status should have when she saw the emperor.

This also confirms Duguyi's guess in his heart, and Ying'er may also know the person behind it very clearly.

But speculation is speculation after all, and he has no evidence or handle. Even if there were, judging from Ying'er's attitude, she would definitely not say it.

The more I tried to find out all this, the more foggy it became. The more Ying'er refused to say it, the more Duguyi wanted to know why she was hiding it for that person, and the more she wanted to know who that person was.

Thinking about all this in a loop, I can't find the answer, and Duguyi only suffers.

"Your Majesty, why don't you speak, are you here to see Ying'er?" Ying'er said this in the same tone as before. What is revealed in such a tone is her deep love and admiration for Duguyi, and her expectation for Duguyi to come to see her.

At the same time, there was a faint sense of desolation in this tone.

"Your Majesty, since you came to see Ying'er, why do you have a straight face, can't you be happier?"

Dugu Yi didn't want to or had time to take care of this, but he still inadvertently found that Ying'er's tone was also a little abnormal, in other words, she might be crazy, or maybe she was about to go crazy.

This undoubtedly increased the question in Duguyi's mind, what forced her to be like this, just the punishments he gave her, or was there another reason. But why would she rather be driven crazy than tell Duguyi the truth of the matter.

"Ying'er, the widow is here to see you." Following Ying'er's wishes, Duguyi replied to her, hoping to ask something from this.

"Your Majesty ......" Hearing this, Ying'er immediately felt pleasantly surprised, looked at Duguyi's eyes affectionately, and said to him, "Are you really coming to see me?" ”

"Yes, the widow came to see you." Dugu Yi also replied to her: "Ying'er, although the widow gave you such a punishment, the widow can't bear to do this."

"Is this true, Your Majesty? You can't bear to treat Ying'er like this, right? ”

"Yes, Ying'er. So if you have any grievances, you can tell the widow, or if someone is forcing you, you can also tell the widow. ”

When Ying'er heard this, she was unconsciously happy again. Just as Dugu Yi held his breath and waited for her to say the answer he wanted, Na Ying'er spoke:

"Your Majesty, Ying'er is so happy, you care about me so much. Ying'er knew that in the emperor's heart, there was still Ying'er. ”

Things were so unexpected to him, Dugu Yi couldn't help but wonder if this Ying'er was really crazy or fake, whether she really didn't understand her own words, or was she deliberately avoiding the topic. He didn't know any of this.

In order to successfully ask the truth, Dugu Yi had to use his last method and said to Ying'er:

"Ying'er, the widow can't bear to watch you suffer such grievances. You tell the widow who is bullying you behind your back and framing you, you just need to tell the widow, and the widow will immediately let you go and let you be the original warbler beauty. ”

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?" Ying'er listened and asked happily.

"It's true, the widow does what he says."

"Your Majesty, you are so good, you are so good to Ying'er, Ying'er is so happy! ……”

What also disappointed Duguyi was that Ying'er was still happy, happy, and even dancing, but she didn't say who was behind all this.

Dugu Yi was out of luck, he could only wait for the moment when she told the truth of the matter by herself while watching Ying'er rejoice like this.

Then, I saw Ying'er walk to the table, pick up the wine jug and put two glasses of wine in the glass, I don't know how long ago. took a cup of his own, brought another cup to Duguyi, and said to him:

"The emperor loves Ying'er so much, Ying'er wants to celebrate with the emperor."

Dugu Yi took the glass of wine she handed over, looked at the turbid wine in the glass, and didn't talk about whether it was poisonous or not, just looking at it, Dugu Yi didn't want to take a second look.

"Doesn't the emperor drink it, then Ying'er will drink it first. Ying'er is happy, Ying'er drinks first, and Ying'er drinks the emperor's drink. Haha......"

As she spoke, she smiled again, and Ying'er took the cup and drank the dirty wine.

"It's really good wine!" After drinking the glass of wine, Ying'er looked at Dugu Yi happily and said to him: "Your Majesty, after drinking this glass of wine, Ying'er will be the emperor's person from now on, we will grow old together and never separate."

Seeing Ying'er crazy like this, Duguyi was helpless on the one hand, and felt worthless for her.

Then, the warbler was happy for a while, and suddenly wanted to return to normal, and walked up to Duguyi with a serious face, and said to him:

"Your Majesty, can the emperor hug Ying'er, if you hug me, I'll tell you who the bad guy is." Ying'er's words suddenly attracted Duguyi's attention.

"Your Majesty, Ying'er really wants to be hugged by you, Ying'er is cold."

Hearing her say this, Dugu Yi no longer hesitated, as long as she could find the person behind the manipulation, it would be okay to hug her.

So, Dugu Yi took Ying'er into his arms.

"It's so warm in the emperor's arms." Sticking his forehead on Duguyi's shoulder, Ying'er suddenly behaved like a child.

"Ying'er, you tell the widow who is the bad guy." Duguyi asked her again.

"Your Majesty, Ying'er hasn't hugged enough yet, you can hug Ying'er for a while." As soon as Ying'er said this, she suddenly said to Dugu Yi again: "Your Majesty, can you kiss Ying'er again, Ying'er hasn't kissed the emperor yet."

Dugu Yi is really running out of patience. Facing the woman in front of her, although she was also her concubine, although she also had a bit of a look, but now her appearance of being crazy or not really made Duguyi unbearable.

If it goes on like this, he's probably going to go crazy himself.

But he still chose to obey her, looking at Ying'er in front of him, looking at her incomprehensible expression, Duguyi tried not to think about anything else, tried to get closer to her face, and tried to kiss her lips as much as possible.

However, at this time, before Dugu Yi could kiss her lips, a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out of Ying'er's mouth.

"Your Majesty, I'm ...... Bad guy ......"

"Who are the bad guys? Say it quickly. ”

"Your Majesty, Ying...... Ying'er is tired......"

"Tell me who it is! You haven't told me yet! ”

No matter how Dugu Yi asks, it's useless. With the blood that kept spitting out of Ying'er's mouth, her hands holding Duguyi gradually loosened, sliding over his shoulders and his waist until she was paralyzed and fell to the ground.

Dugu Yi still didn't get the answer he wanted. And such a scene is also unforgettable for him.

Ying'er is also dead, and the only remaining clue is broken, and this case has entered a dead end, and now Duguyi may no longer be able to find out who the person behind it is.

In addition to loss, he is more of despair.

The whole thing, the scene of Ying'er dying in front of him, made him unforgettable.

And after handing over the pot of wine to the imperial doctor for examination, it was indeed found that the deadly poison in Ying'er came from there. But where did this poison come from, and who poisoned it, Duguyi doesn't know.

Until now, he still can't understand what the truth is about what happened before and after.

And all he felt was exhaustion, not only this incident, but all the things that had happened in the palace recently, which suddenly pressed on his shoulders and made him breathless.

once wanted to find out the person who harmed Yang Ziqi, but in the end, he fell behind the person who manipulated behind the scenes.

The first big case that happened in the palace was folded like this, and he couldn't give Yang Ziqi a complete explanation.

As an emperor, as the king of a country, this is also the most exhausting time he has felt since he grew up.

He told Gao Fan that he really wanted to escape such a reality.

Gao Fan only smiled and asked him to go out for a walk and have fun. And he listened.

It's not because Gao Fan said so. But since the previous experience of leaving the palace, there has been an invisible force outside the palace, which occasionally pulls out his idea of wanting to leave the palace, and pulls him out for a walk.

And his temporary purpose has been achieved. Especially at the moment when he just stepped out of the palace gate, he immediately changed his role, no longer seeing himself as an emperor, nor a person with responsibilities and missions.

It's a simple ordinary person who travels in the mountains and rivers.

It was also at this moment that he instantly felt much more relaxed. Putting aside the messy and tedious things in the palace, he only thought about some relaxed and happy things for the time being.

Or Qin Liusu, or those pitiful memories with Qin Liusu.

Despite this, it is precisely because of this that whenever I think of a person like Qin Liusu, Duguyi's mind is full of interesting things. As for the cat-faced mask that Qin Liusu once gave him, it was also like her person.

And whenever he passed by Zhong Cui Palace, sometimes he couldn't help but imagine what Qin Liusu would be like if she was still in the palace, and what she would be like.

"Sister Ziji, what do you say is wrong with the emperor, he refuses to make any of us others, why don't you even want to see you?

In Fengluan Palace, Chen Yanxue came to Yang Ziqi's side again at this time, just because she was puzzled by Duguyi's refusal to meet any concubines in the past two days, and the two of them couldn't help but discuss this topic at this moment.

"Xue'er, my sister really doesn't know." While answering Chen Yanxue's question, Yang Ziqi was a little absent-minded: "I haven't seen the emperor like this before, and now that there is such a situation, my sister doesn't know what's going on."

Yang Ziqi said this, Chen Yanxue didn't want to ask anything more. From her words, she heard some helplessness, but also some loss and sadness.

It was also at this time that the palace maid outside suddenly came to report that Concubine Zhuang was asking to see her outside.

When the two sisters heard this, they only felt very strange, what was the matter with Fu Xing'er, who hardly interacted with them on weekdays, suddenly came to Fengluan Palace to ask for a meeting.

"Let her in." Yang Ziqi only returned to the palace maid road.

So, after the palace maid passed the word, Fu Xing'er came in directly.

After greeting Yang Ziqi and Chen Yanxue in turn, Yang Ziqi also asked her to sit down.

Curious in his heart, but Yang Ziqi did not lose his motherly manners, and asked Fu Xing'er gently and amiably, just like anyone:

"I rarely see Concubine Zhuang walking around on weekdays, but today I came to this palace in this Fengluan Palace, but what is the matter?"

When Fu Xing'er heard this, she immediately replied to Yang Ziqi and said: "Don't hide it from the queen, the concubine came here to see you, there are indeed some things, but it's not a big deal."
