Three days later, King Duan didn't wait for Ning Shu's arrival, but waited for Mo Lin's report.

After Xie Yunshen left the city, King Duan kept sending people to walk behind Xie Yunyan, wanting to kill people before Xie Yunshen could find his face.

After all, even Shangshu has a lot of his handles in his hands.

Duan Wang supported his forehead with one hand and kept shaking: "Sanhe Gang? ”

Mo Lin arched his hand: "Yes, according to the information found by Lord Xie, Lian Rong has fled to the Sanhe Gang. ”

"This king remembers that the Triad Gang is a water bandit?"

Mo Lin nodded, and told King Duan about the reputation of the Sanhe Gang in the vicinity of Yuzhou.

King Duan chuckled, "It seems that my uncle has already left a hand-"

Water bandits are no better than mountain bandits.

Without the support of sailors, it was difficult for Duanwang to capture him.

It is difficult for him, which means that it is also difficult for Xie Yunyan.

Hearing the news, Duanwang was a little more relaxed.

"The affairs of the rivers and lakes will be done by the people of the rivers and lakes." Duanwang said quietly: "Go find Wuliang Villa and buy Lian Rong's head." ”

"Yes." Morin took the order and withdrew.

However, just as Morin went to make a deal with the Infinite Villa, a decree from the emperor also entered the palace.

King Duan pondered all the way, and when he entered the imperial study, he didn't understand why the emperor was in a hurry to summon him.

"Son-in-law, see father-"

"Flat!" From the emperor's timbre, King Duan couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

He straightened up and saw Qi Chengan on the side.

The salvage work of the official silver of Jinshui Lake was finally completed, and after the last ingot of silver was salvaged ashore, Qi Chengan immediately entered the palace to present to the emperor.

A total of 200,000 taels, no more, no less.

It's just that there is also a sealed iron box that was salvaged ashore with the official silver.

Qi Chengan initially thought that the person who was swimming in the lake fell into it, and threw it aside without much care.

After all the follow-up was done, someone was asked to pry open the box.

When he saw the contents inside, Qi Chengan's head was numb, and his jaw was about to fall in shock.

The stakes were so high that he blocked the news and went directly to the palace to face the saint.

Not surprisingly, the emperor was also slightly stunned when he saw the box.

It has been two hours since his face changed from black to his usual expression.

King Duan was puzzled and just wanted to ask why the emperor summoned him into the palace, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "The concubine sees Your Majesty." ”

It was the first time since Concubine Lian was summoned by the emperor since she was demoted.

Because of the anger in his heart, he has never even seen King Duan.

Today, I was suddenly summoned to the imperial study, and there was still a person standing in front of me - someone from Dali Temple?

Concubine Lian walked in in confusion and glanced at Duanwang lightly.

"Now that everyone is together, Qi Aiqing, give the things to Concubine Lian and King Duan, right?" The emperor coldly gave an order to Qi Chengan, and Qi Chengan stubbornly picked up the iron box.

The heart is constantly slandered.

What did Xie Yunyan do when he left Beijing at this time? Wasn't he the one to do all the things in the first place?

Duanwang took the box first, opened it, and glanced at it, and saw who the handwriting on it was.

The movement in his hand paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Concubine Lian.

Seeing his strange expression, Concubine Lian couldn't help but be curious and came over.

When she saw that the first envelope in the box had her own handwriting on it, Concubine Lian's brain exploded, and she quickly snatched the entire box and squatted on the ground to look at it.

"What is this? How did it end up here? ”

"What is this?" The emperor sneered on the dragon chair, "I also want to ask Concubine Ai, what is this?" It turns out that for so many years, Concubine Ai's feelings for me have been pretended, but I don't know that Concubine Ai endures such pain? ”

Recalling that for more than 20 years, he favored her alone in the three palaces and six courtyards, and gave her the supreme glory of her child, the emperor looked at Concubine Lian sadly and ridiculously and asked:

"It turns out that Concubine Lian loves Lian Rong so much, and would rather dedicate her life to achieve Lian Rong?"

Qi Chengan had already read the contents of the letter, and although he was mentally prepared, the emperor suddenly shouted out the key points of the matter, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Duanwang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he glared at Concubine Lian in disbelief, only to see Concubine Lian shaking her head again and again, and there were already rivers of tears on her thin face.

"No, Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine's explanation-"

How to explain it? Ai Fei Mo wants to say that this letter is not from Ai Fei's hand? ”

Duan Wang squatted down in panic and looked through the letters in the box.

The letter appears to have been around for many years, and there are some mottled folds on its slightly yellowed paper.

It is not difficult to guess that the person who wrote the letter must have been in tears at the time.

As soon as he opened the first letter, Duan Wang's fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Concubine Lian wanted to rush up and take the letter, but was stopped by the guards on the side.

King Duan's trembling spread from his fingertips all over his body, and after reading all the letters, his face was a hundred times more gloomy than that of the emperor.

It turned out that Concubine Lian's real origin was not Lian Jia, but Lian Rong's cousin.

As for the real concubine of the Lian family back then, she died of smallpox as early as a child.

And Master Lian saw that the emperor was a talented person with ambitions, so he stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, and found a girl of the same age and appearance as the concubine among his cousins to be raised as the concubine of the Lian Mansion.

At that time, Concubine Lian was worried about Lian Rong with her whole heart.

Even the old man saw the girl's thoughts, and asked Lian Rong to teach him how to lure Concubine Lian to dedicate herself to the Lian family.

Lian Rong really didn't disappoint him, Concubine Lian started to serve the emperor wholeheartedly from the beginning of entering the prince's mansion, and also served as a middle bridge, closely linking the Lian family with the emperor.

Even risking death to save the car back then was a good show planned by Lian Rong and Concubine Lian.

These were not the source of the emperor's wrath.

One letter had significantly more tear stains than the others.

The letter contained the news that she was pregnant.

When Concubine Lian learned that she was pregnant with the child of someone she didn't love, she was heartbroken.

thought that this assassination would eliminate her child, but she never expected the child to survive safely.

The letter also wrote how Concubine Lian felt guilty about Lian Rong -

"Huh-"

King Duan smiled dejectedly.

That kid was none other than him.

He held the letter in his hand, pointed to Concubine Lian, and asked with a disillusioned face: "So, this is the Lian family you desperately want to keep, and the Lian Rong you desperately want to keep?" ”

When he entered the palace that day to correct Lian Rong, Concubine Lian was extremely angry.

He is only like this when he is a concubine who cares about his mother's family.

Now it seems that it is a big joke.

King Duan threw out the letter, disgusted by the relationship between Concubine Lian and Lian Rong, and stood in place and retched repeatedly.

If it weren't for the letter that it was written that Concubine Lian had hatred for the four princes, the emperor would have doubted whether the prince in front of him, who had loved him for many years, was his own.

"Concubine Lian, what else do you have to say?"
