Chapter 193: The interrogation is as usual
Chapter 193: The interrogation is as usual
Qing Ruifan didn't sleep well, tossing and turning all night, and his dreams turned back and forth. After half-dreaming and waking up to the point that he couldn't stand it anymore, he simply sat up from the bed and looked at the empty hall, the candles flickering, everything was as usual, but everything had changed.
Lan Yi heard the voice and walked in, and asked Qing Ruifan where he was uncomfortable and if he wanted to announce the imperial doctor. Qing Ruifan shook his head, but beckoned Lan Yi to step forward and reply. Lan Yi approached, looked at Qing Ruifan's expression for a while, and found that it was no different from usual, so he carefully took out an envelope from his arms.
"Your Majesty, this is what the queen mother asked Weichen to hand over to you." Lan Yi raised his hand and handed the thing to Qing Ruifan. He didn't know why Gu Lingge pinched Qing Ruifan and couldn't sleep well tonight, but she always said what she said, and Lan Yi understood this very well, so he was happy to pass it on to Qing Ruifan.
"Huh? Is there anything you can't say more about Ming'er? Qing Ruifan felt bad in his heart. Gu Lingge doesn't like to drag or delay, and what he wants to hand over to him on this big night is still handwritten, so it should be very important. So he just said it casually, and took it in his hand.
The blue-clothed messenger also has its own guidelines, and it is important to distinguish between priorities and urgency, and generally those who have nothing to do will tell him when they work the next day, even if it is 100,000 urgent, it will vary from person to person. And Qing Ruifan himself has long been aware that Lan Yi's attitude towards Gu Lingge is the same as his attitude towards himself, and he is completely two masters. That's why he gave the letter to himself so directly.
The letter was written in a very simple way, just two words. "Ah Ling". A wry smile appeared on Qing Ruifan's lips, sure enough, he couldn't get anything in the end.
Gu Lingge has very few letters to Qing Ruifan, so he can count them all right away - there are only two in total, if they don't involve official business. The first letter was that she was drunk and made trouble, and she returned the three words "Murong Zhi" she gave her at the beginning, and the slut in the rivers and lakes at that time should have become a wound in her heart. And this letter is the second one, and she returned the "Ah Ling" she really called him at that time.
Is it the meaning of thinking about two clears?
"When did the queen bring it?" Qing Ruifan got up and asked Lan Yi to bring him a cloak, and asked while clearing his throat.
At three o'clock, as soon as the bang was knocked, the queen came over in a night suit, with a faint bloody smell on her body, and asked Weichen to hand this over to the emperor in a calm voice. Weichen asked the queen, but the mother didn't say a word, and left after telling Weichen a few words. Thinking about it now, Lan Yi also feels incredible.
According to common sense, Gu Lingge returned to Fenglan Palace after the banquet, and he still watched her take Lixia and a group of people to Fenglan Palace lively. Later, I don't know why, the queen changed her clothes, and I don't know how to make her body smell of blood. Gu Lingge himself is also a person with some cleanliness habits, so he didn't go back to change his clothes first, but rushed here non-stop, stayed for a while and swept away like the wind.
Obviously, it is something that can be said the next day, and it must be completed immediately, which is not in line with Gu Lingge's lazy and light temperament. What's going on? Lan Yi felt that he had never understood this master.
"Accompany me to Fenglan Palace." Qing Ruifan's eyebrows were about to twist into twists, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier, like a big whirlpool, howling to swallow himself. He felt a little out of strength, and his feet even quickened and walked towards Fenglan Palace.
Fenglan Palace was no different from usual, except for the blue clothes who kept vigil at the door, it felt like everything was as usual. After entering, Lan Yi also casually asked a few people on duty at night, and they all said that the queen mother was tired, so she rested early. Come to think of it, it will be dawn in two hours, and it should indeed be asleep.
After entering the main hall, he found that there was only Lixia inside. She sat at the table, her head propped up in one hand, and she was dozing off in a daze. Lan Yi watched Qing Ruifan sit on the soft couch before he walked up to Lixia and gently shook her awake. Lixia was still sleepy-eyed, but when she saw Qing Ruifan, she immediately woke up.
"I've seen the emperor, the emperor is blessed with long'an." Lixia made a big salute and stretched her muscles and bones by the way, so that she could be more sober.
"Get up and speak. Where's your mother? "Gu Lingge is still a practitioner after all, and it is impossible not to notice that someone is coming in his bedroom. Qing Ruifan had already caught a glimpse just now, there was no one in the big red gauze tent, and even the curvature of the quilt was so deliberate. It may be possible to fool ordinary people, but it is still impossible to hide it from Qing Ruifan, after all, Qing Ruifan has been arresting Gu Lingge, and he knows her methods even better.
"The mother is gone, and she won't come back." Li Xia didn't hide it from Qing Ruifan at all, she remembered that Gu Lingge said that there was something for Qing Ruifan to do, and if she hid it, it would be extremely troublesome later.
"When did you leave?" As soon as Qing Ruifan heard Lixia's statement, he knew that it was too late. He had planned so much that it was too late for the future and future. What if you have so many beautiful wishes and ideas? When people go to the empty building, he is helpless. He still couldn't grasp this wisp of wind called Gu Lingge.
"Niangniang said that she had to go to Ci'an Hall for some things today, and then she left the palace directly and would not come back." Lixia said it ambiguously. There are some things that she can't reveal, and she will put herself in danger, and this is what Gu Lingge asked her to promise that it can't happen.
"Blue Yi, you go to the martial law Ci'an Hall, just say that the queen mother is in poor health, and the queen's filial piety is commendable, and she is sick overnight. Thereafter, no one is allowed to enter the Church without my permission. Qing Ruifan vaguely guessed something, and while taking Li Xia to Ci'an Hall, he asked Lan Yi to take the lead to make arrangements.
Li Xia silently followed Qing Ruifan to Ci'an Hall, and was extremely shocked by Gu Lingge's control. Qing Ruifan's order just now was exactly the same as Gu Lingge's inference, without the slightest deviation. At this time, Li Xia clearly understood what kind of master she was following, and she could see that Qing Ruifan really fell into Gu Lingge's net and had no skills to return to the sky.
In the end, Qing Ruifan still did not enter the main hall of Ci'an Hall, and Lan Yi had already told him all the things that had happened. Qing Ruifan suddenly felt very tired, took Lan Yi and Lixia, and silently walked towards the Imperial Garden.
In the end, he underestimated Gu Lingge. When she went to Changling to ask for help, Gu Lingge said very openly that she didn't do unprofitable trading, and later she and Liulizhuang helped her a lot, and I didn't see her say when to collect the price. He thought that what he had done and the sincerity he had put into it were enough to soften Gu Lingge and make her settle down in peace.
He thought that he had passed the assessment and could become the shoulder standing beside her, so that she could rely on her growth. He really thought that he was doing it step by step and slowly, but Gu Lingge was still the same Gu Lingge, and he always acted vigorously and quietly in everything he did.
"Lixia, hasn't your master been in poor health lately? How can you still have the leisure to do such a thing? Qing Ruifan sat in the small pavilion and asked helplessly. He needed to find something to understand, otherwise his suspicion of Gu Lingge would drive him crazy, and by the time he really signed the wanted warrant, it would be really too late.
"The emperor doesn't know anything." Lixia blessed her body, and her heart was also very uncomfortable. She just heard Lan Yi talk about it and knew that Gu Lingge also had such a bloodthirsty time, she usually looked at a particularly friendly and friendly person, and she was really ruthless when she started, but Lixia's focus was not here. The master is so heavy, it should have been too hard before.
"In order to be able to successfully complete what she wants to do, Niangniang dragged her sick body to ask the Feng family to forcibly ask for an elixir to enhance her internal strength and energy, and endured the pain of being eaten back and swallowed by the pain of being frustrated and scattered, and this was done." Lixia never said that she didn't know about it from the beginning, but Lan Yi always thought so.
"Sure enough, it's the wind ghost glass, domineering and ruthless, no one can match." Qing Ruifan said and even wanted to laugh. The wetness in the corners of his eyes could be seen clearly, but there was nothing else he could do but sigh. These two people have been entangled for two years, one does not know the essentials, the other does not know his heart, and he is speechless except sighing.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, she ......" Lixia looked at the emperor with thin clothes and black lips, and knelt down with a trembling voice, "Niangniang, she doesn't have much time to live." ”
Qing Ruifan always thought that Gu Lingge should be uncomfortable after entering the imperial city, so he would keep calling him sick, even if he was really weak, he also had the protection of the saint in the Gu and the green shirt medical god, even if these two people were useless, there was still a Feng Yiluo behind him, with them, Gu Lingge's illness should be a minor problem, and it would get better slowly. He had always believed in Lixia's words, and he didn't think they were convincing.
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, and he has never been by his side, but the slave and the maid are opposite each other day and night, and the slave and maid know." When Li Xia said this, she had already cried, as if Gu Lingge was in front of her, and she was going through the hardships she had endured, "Niangniang's first thirteen when she entered the palace, although she was uncomfortable, she still had the strength to play a set of five poultry plays, and at that time she said that it would be good to finish the fight." ”
Later, the slave watched the mother's body collapse little by little as if it was gnawed, from no longer able to practice martial arts, to later chopsticks could not be lifted to either lie in bed or shrunk on the soft couch, and the time also went from a stick of incense at the beginning to one or two hours later to three or four hours. In the dormitory of Fenglan Palace, Niangniang rolled everywhere, and even the veil was bitten several times in the past two years, and these emperors didn't know. "The snow on the ground is almost melting, and the ice water is biting, but Lixia doesn't care.
"The emperor always thinks that the mother can do everything with her hands and it is as easy as finding the bag and taking things, but what the slave and maid see is not like this." Lixia seemed to have returned to Fenglan Palace, Gu Lingge stood in front of the desk and frowned, "Niangniang will discuss with the internal affairs supervisor no matter what she does, deal with the Queen Mother, and even whisper to Qianji Pavilion when she orders people to go down to do it." These emperors don't know. ”
"Why does the emperor think Niangniang went to the north? Niangniang left the best doctor and the most stable dormitory in the city to go to the north, because Niangniang heard that the Tatars were ready to wait for reinforcements to surround the emperor, Niangniang had just finished treatment at that time, and Dr. Huyue said that you can't travel long distances, and Niangniang still went for you. Do you think she's going to play? These emperors still don't know. ”
"The emperor often says that the mother doesn't like you. Yes, you have indeed always said that you like Niangniang, and you have said it countless times like a sugar-coated cannonball to force Niangniang to believe that it is true, but the emperor. Lixia felt that she was about to be unable to speak, but she was upset for Gu Ling, and she must say, "Your Majesty, you always compare Niangniang with Concubine Wan. Once, after you brushed your sleeves away, Niangniang smiled very sadly and told the slave maid that she didn't want to, and couldn't be, another concubine. You don't know these big and small things. ”
"The emperor may not know that the Queen Mother has connived at Concubine Chen's murder of Niangniang countless times, tolerated Concubine Chen's small actions countless times, and even said in person that Niangniang is not worthy of a noble Majesty. You have always loved and valued Concubine Wan, who has hurt Niangniang countless times openly and secretly, and Niangniang has not avoided it for several days, and the high fever has not gone away for several days, her body is weak, and she coughs and vomits blood. You only see that Niangniang is a medicine jar and has been in poor health, but you never know the reason. You don't even know about this pile, Your Majesty. ”
Every time Li Xia said a word, she felt that the person's shadow became clearer, and she could even see Gu Lingge standing in front of her and smiling at her. She couldn't hold back her tears, and they fell down, but she knew that this person would not come back. Perhaps, this is also a relief for her.
"The queen has been lonely for too long, no matter who she wants to accept, she has to be cautious and tempted, her body and temperament can't withstand failure and can't stand the results."
"But the emperor has never given Niangniang a chance. Blindly indoctrination and anesthesia, coax if it goes well, and walk away if it doesn't go well. Your Majesty, you have never really cared about your mother. Never. ”
