"Huh?" Yuehua was startled: "Ling Rui is so timid, how is it possible?" When did it happen? ”

Xiang Shen was also a little surprised: "But it's not, if you say that Chang Lingyan killed people, I still believe it." ”

"It's what happened at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet the day before yesterday." Mama Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still unable to hide her excitement: "It's true, I heard that the deceased is still a real relative of Concubine Ling's mother's family." Even if you spend a lot of silver tickets, there is nothing you can do, I'm afraid that you will have to pay for your life! ”

Yuehua remembered the appearance of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager at the reunion banquet yesterday, and thought that there had already been rumors in the palace.

She was a little dissatisfied with Mama Wei's schadenfreude, and said coldly: "Human life is at stake, and she is a cousin, how can Mama be so indifferent and tell it as a joke?" ”

Mama Wei was taken aback, hurriedly restrained the smug look on her face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The old slave is not the kind of ruthless person who has a black heart, but he is just angry with what the Lian family used to do, and thinks that this is the current world." She actually provoked and destroyed the mausoleum of the old lady and damaged her yin morality, and now she has cut off the incense, this is God avenging the mother! ”

Yuehua shook her head: "You are wrong, Mama Wei, the Lian family is the Lian family, Ling Rui is Ling Rui, the sins she did have nothing to do with Ling Rui, and it should not be on his head." What's more, he is also my uncle's lifeline, even if we can't help it, we shouldn't gloat, right? ”

Mama Wei was unconvinced, but she didn't dare to speak back, and said in a low voice: "I know that Miss is kind-hearted." ”

Yuehua always felt that after Mama Wei entered the palace, her views on many things were different from her own, although she also knew that she was dedicated to herself, but she was indeed not as close as before.

She sighed helplessly: "Get up, you are old, don't kneel and worship without moving." There was such a big thing in the Hou Mansion, I didn't know anything, so I quickly announced my uncle in and asked what was going on? ”

"Be careful!"

Mama Wei raised her face and stopped Yuehua again: "Hou Ye entered the palace to find a way to save the young master, how did Niang Niang refuse when she saw Hou Ye?" ”

"If you are looking for a way, there are five uncles in Dali Temple, even if the relationship is close and you need to avoid suspicion, but you can go up and down. There is still the Empress Dowager in the palace, where do you need me to come out? ”

Mama Wei was a little anxious: "Niangniang, if things are easy to do, why does Master Hou need to ask to come to the palace?" The evidence of that case is conclusive, and it is in full view of everyone, and the evidence is ironclad, and there is no room for turning around. What's more, the deceased is the person of Concubine Ling and the Queen Mother. If you can't afford to offend anything, you can't easily tear your face.

When the old slave heard that the Empress Dowager was unwilling to intervene, she had already refused all the visitors under the pretext that several eldest princesses were there. Master Hou has no way to ask for help, so he came to you! ”

When Yuehua heard Mama Wei's explanation, she knew that it must be very tricky, otherwise the Empress Dowager would not have stood idly by. After all, there is only one male in the Hou Mansion, Ling Rui, and he will inherit the title of Marquis in the future.

However, since the Empress Dowager had already made up her mind and didn't care, why did she allow Chang Lehou to enter the palace? Wouldn't it be okay for her to directly keep Chang Lehou out of the palace? Why let him come to him? You must know that her foothold in the palace is unstable, and Mo Guhan is also hot and cold to herself, even if she wants to manage it, she has more than enough heart and insufficient strength.

Could it be that she was deliberately testing herself? Want to see your attitude towards Chang family?

Yuehua groaned slightly, and still instructed Xiangshen: "The Empress Dowager can't control the things, and my uncle won't be embarrassed for me if he thinks about it." He was just at a loss and used me as the last straw to save his life. Even if I can't save Ling Rui, my uncle has already arrived, I can't turn him away, it is best to help naturally, and I have the heart to persuade and comfort me. ”

Xiangshen has always been only Yuehua's order, and when he heard the words, he immediately turned around and went out to spread the word.

Yuehua glanced at Mama Wei, and stepped forward to help her up: "Yuehua knows that you are for my good, and I don't want me to be self-sufficient and make enemies with the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling, so as to arouse the emperor's suspicion." But my uncle treated me really well, and when life and death were at stake, I should naturally spare no effort and do my best. ”

Mama Wei stood up and persuaded worriedly: "Niangniang, you know what the emperor is most taboo about you, you must do what you can, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

Yuehua nodded: "There is such a big event in the Hou Mansion, my uncle will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and he can't swallow it, you will order someone to cook hot tea for me, and then go to the imperial dining room and bring some ready-made supplements." ”

Mama Wei received the order, but she still told me uneasily: "Although the old slave is relying on the old and selling the old, it is indeed a wise word, and the mother must not be rash." ”

Yuehua responded with a smile and pushed her away, and Chang Lehou followed behind Xiangshen and walked in anxiously, turned over and knelt on the ground, and asked for peace in a hoarse voice: "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Yuehua hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up from the ground, and immediately burst into tears in distress: "Uncle, why don't you take care of yourself?" ”

Chang Lehou raised his face, although it was because he had cleaned up his appearance and shaved his sloppy stubble neatly when he entered the palace, his sunken eyes, blood-red eyes, and chapped lips and mouth full of fire bubbles all made him look extremely haggard and old.

"I was really anxious and desperate, so I begged to come to Niangniang, which made it difficult for Niangniang."

Yuehua hurriedly gave a seat and sat down with Chang Lehou half-hugged: "I also heard Mama Wei talk about it just now, and I know that something happened to Ling Rui. I'm soft-spoken, and I may not be able to help, but I will definitely spare no effort. ”

Chang Lehou sat down, and immediately someone from the palace stepped forward to serve tea, Yuehua sent all the people around him down, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, drink tea to moisten your throat, 1510 talks, what is going on." How could Ling Rui, with such a perverse temperament, commit such a big sin? ”

Where is Chang Lehou still in the mood to drink tea, a little owed, sighed, and said his feelings carefully.

"Yesterday, your fifth uncle and father took care of the jailers of Dali Temple on my behalf, and I disguised myself as a jailer to sneak into the prison, and when I saw Rui'er, I knew what happened.

The deceased was Rui'er's classmate, surnamed Shen Mingshiting, who was a little bit of a slouch in his plain life, but he was still extremely polite on the surface.

On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, we went to the palace to attend a palace banquet, and he and several classmates went to the restaurant to drink. Shen Shiting got a little carried away after being greedy, and for some reason he took a fancy to the daughter of the shopkeeper in the restaurant, and he teased in every possible way in front of everyone's eyes, wanting to misbehave.

Ling Rui stepped forward to persuade, and when he was pulling, Shen Shiting was unstable on his feet, stumbled, and fell to the ground, his head hit the pillar, and he immediately bled from his mouth and nose, and died with a whimper. ”

"If you can't stand steadily, how can you fall so badly? Isn't it Ling Rui who used his strength? Yuehua immediately raised her own questions.

Chang Lehou shook his head firmly: "I later asked several of his classmates who were present, and they all confirmed that Ling Rui was just pulling him away, and he was drunk and unsteady on his feet, so he fell to the ground. At that time, everyone only thought that he was drunk and confused, and he fell to the ground and could not get up. ”

Yuehua sighed: "In this way, if it is really related to Ling Rui, the best result is a mistake." ”

"If it is judged to be a mistakenly injured, I will smash the pot and sell iron, as long as I can save Rui'er's life, then I will admit it. The key is that there are ill-intentioned people among the people present, saying that Rui'er has a holiday with that Shen Shiting, and he took the opportunity to kill him. That's why the Shen family didn't give up, and they had to put Rui'er to death. ”

Chang Lehou said, and couldn't help the old tears: "Niangniang, you know, I only have this one son under my knees, if he has any three long and two short, I will have no head to live." Your aunt has fallen ill in bed and fainted many times. ”

How about the Lian family, Yuehua didn't take it to heart, just looked at Chang Lehou, and his heart softened for a while.

The evidence in this case is conclusive, and it is impossible to overturn the case. If you rely on the power of the Chang family, Mo Shu may not be able to work, even if you save Ling Rui, Concubine Ling and the Queen Mother blow the wind in front of Mo Guhan, and she Chu Yuehua will never turn over.

It is no wonder that the Empress Dowager was willing to give up Chang Lingrui, weighing the pros and cons, it is indeed not cost-effective to lose a big loss because of a small loss.

"What did the fifth uncle say?"

Chang Lehou wiped the tears on his face and sighed deeply: "In order to avoid suspicion, your fifth uncle has already handed over this matter to others for trial, and he doesn't dare to ask about it, so he can only secretly take care of it and not let Ling Rui suffer anything,"

"Then the uncle of the Shen family can be seen? Don't have a good student to talk to? ”

"That's natural, after hearing about the accident on Chinese New Year's Eve, I personally visited the deceased's family, just to apologize, even if I kowtow to make amends, so that people can dissipate their anger." It's a pity that he was immediately driven out, and he didn't have time to say anything. The Shen family will definitely not forgive Rui'er. ”

Chang Lehou sighed and said with annoyance: "Rui'er was originally out of good intentions, otherwise Shen Shiting would have wanted to misbehave, and such Meng Lang would have spread to the academy, Mo Ming's qualification to be sent to Hanlin Academy for further study next year was cancelled, and I am afraid that Lishui Academy would not be able to keep him." Rui'er was kind enough to persuade her, who would have thought that she would cause such a disaster. ”

"In full view? This Shen Shiting is so bold and reckless, how could Rui'er be with such a person? ”

Although Yuehua knew that this was not the time to complain, she still couldn't help muttering in her heart.

"Where?" Chang Lehou shook his head: "Although Rui'er and him are not good friends, but this person's character is still good, decent, where is Meng Lang like this?" Who knew that suddenly the ghost was confused, and he stared at the girl in the restaurant and babbled nonsense, and he also put his hands up and down. ”

"It is said that drunkenness and immorality are really not bad, and they are a group of young people with strong blood, and there is no one to control them." Yuehua also felt at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Chang Lehou slapped his head in annoyance, he should be secretly regretting sending Ling Rui to Lishui Academy: "Ling Rui doesn't drink alcohol either, this time it is to celebrate the two of them being selected to go to Hanlin Academy for further study, so they drank some light wine, one person is only eight or nine glasses, sober-minded, not drunk." ”
