Chapter 306: Evidence (2nd Update)
On the second day, Su Rong wore the cloak of the white fox fur and went directly to the palace.
She had a token in her hand, and she naturally entered the palace unimpeded, but she still went to the imperial study to meet the emperor first.
When she went, she pinched a little, just in time for the emperor to come down to the early court, and heard that she had entered the palace, and put several courtiers aside, and asked her to come in first.
Most of the courtiers had never seen Su Rong, and only a few had seen her.
A few people waiting outside the imperial study today belong to those who have never seen Su Rong, and now they see a little girl, wearing a white fox fur cloak, with a very beautiful face, looking soft and weak, it is hard to imagine, she is the legendary little concubine of Jiangzhou Thorn Mansion, no, the daughter of the county lord of Zhenmin, it is said to be the daughter of the prince of Southern Chu.
Su Rong walked by, and the courtiers glanced at each other, and they all silently arched their hands to her.
Su Rong sighed in her heart, the courtiers of Daliang were very kind, she smiled at a few people, and followed the little eunuch into the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat in front of the jade case.
Su Rong saluted the emperor, "Uncle." ”
The Emperor was very pleased with her name, smiled and beckoned her to sit down, and asked very kindly, "But is there something?" Otherwise, why did you come to the palace again? ”
Su Rong nodded and said bluntly: "There is something, isn't Lord Ruian sick, and I can only come here to investigate the case." The ladies in the palace, as well as the palace people involved, I have to ask them all. ”
The emperor suddenly, "I heard that King Ryan is very sick?" ”
"I didn't see it, it should be serious, right? After all, I invited Dr. Xu to prescribe the antipyretic prescription I once prescribed to Zhou Gu. Su Rong said: "This heavy snow is cold, the prince is old, overworked, and it is not surprising that he fell ill all of a sudden." ”
She sighed, "Uncle, you have to hurry up about the release of the scientific examination, this court still has to be a newcomer official, otherwise if you are old, you will not be banned, and you will fall ill as soon as you use it, this is not a delay." ”
The Emperor nodded, "Well, I'm already urging, it's been a matter of the past few days." ”
Su Rong took the opportunity to inquire about the information on the release of the list, and said to the emperor: "Then I'll go first?" You assign someone to show me the way? ”
The emperor bowed his head and didn't say much, waving his hand and pointing at a little eunuch on duty.
Su Rong did not delay, was led by the little eunuch and followed him.
Su Rong did not go to see the queen immediately, but was led by the little eunuch, and was the first to go to see Concubine Li.
Concubine Li fell ill, was having a high fever, the whole person was just a few days, no longer human, because of the sinful body, although the emperor asked people to invite a doctor, but there was no one to serve, not take good care, after Concubine Li took medicine, it was not good, and there was no fever.
After Su Rong came, seeing Concubine Li's appearance, she thought that if she continued like this, she was afraid that if she didn't wait for the case to be investigated, she might have to confess her little life in advance.
She gave Li Concubine a pulse, and originally wanted to instruct the little eunuch behind her to let people boil a pair of antipyretic medicine for Li Concubine, but after thinking about it, she simply reached into her arms, took out the antipyretic pill she was carrying, and handed it directly to Li Concubine to eat.
Concubine Li looked at Su Rong and asked with a flushed face, "Did Your Majesty ask you to come to treat me?" ”
"I'm here to investigate the case, and I happened to encounter a fever in my mother's house, so I simply gave you a diagnosis and treatment, so as not to delay the investigation." Su Rong said bluntly: "I'm afraid Concubine Li doesn't know yet, the four princes have already expressed their position in the morning court the day before yesterday, please Your Majesty don't decide the case, continue to investigate your case in detail, the four princes use himself as a blocker, and would rather die to prove your innocence." Therefore, for the sake of the four princes, you can't die, once you die, this case may not be able to return your innocence. ”
Concubine Li was suddenly excited, "How can the fourth prince ...... How can you ......?"
She burst into tears, "I hurt him." ”
Su Rong pinched the pill and waited for her to calm down. To say that the woman in the palace is the most noble person in the world, and the saddest person in the world. The honor and disgrace of those who have no heirs are pinned on the emperor, and those who have heirs beware of harm.
Concubine Li is the saddest example, because her father and second uncle were involved in such a big case, obviously, their hearts are not towards him.
Su Rong didn't quite understand, how could he still elbow his elbow to outsiders and sell his life to outsiders when he let his own daughter, niece, and grandson, and even involve his daughter and grandson to take the blame for others.
However, the person is dead, and it has not yet been investigated, and this case has to be clarified, and I am afraid that the reason will be known.
It took Concubine Li a while to stabilize her mood, and asked Su Rong with red and swollen eyes: "You, do you believe me?" ”
Su Rong said: "It's not that I believe it, it's that I think Niangniang doesn't have that much ability." ”
Concubine Li suddenly laughed miserably, "Yes, where do I have such a great ability." Somebody really thinks of me. This should have been a game that was done a long time ago, just like Cheng Qin Yuan in the former imperial history, he was forced to die. It's also trying to force me to death. ”
Su Rong raised his eyebrows, surprised, "Concubine Li Niangniang actually thought of Cheng Qin Yuan in the former imperial history?" ”
Concubine Li opened her mouth, "Give me the medicine." ”
Su Rong stuffed it into her mouth.
Concubine Li chewed the medicine with great effort, kicked it, and then said, "It's obvious, isn't it?" I'm not really stupid. ”
Su Rong nodded.
Yes, the women in the palace, how many of them are really stupid? If he was really stupid, he wouldn't live to have only one concubine, so he raised a prince.
Li Concubine was about to suffer from the pill, and coughed for a while, the little eunuch handed over a glass of water, and after Su Rong read it, he handed it to Li Concubine.
Concubine Li took a sip of water, relieved herself, felt better, leaned on the bed, and said to Su Rong: "What do you want to ask, ask!" ”
Su Rong shook his head, "I don't ask, Niang Niang said it herself, at this time, you can tell me what you feel is wrong over the years, the person who is wrong, or who is holding the handle in your hand." I'll see if I can find any clues. ”
Concubine Li looked at her, "If you say that, that's a lot." ”
"It's okay, I have time." Su Rong sat down.
Concubine Li didn't say it immediately, but asked her, "How is the Fourth Highness now?" ”
"His Royal Highness went to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince late at night a few days ago, and expressed his loyalty to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness accepted it and promised His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness to help him." Su Rong pointed at himself, "Otherwise, Niangniang, you, an important suspect, have almost been determined, do you think you can still wait for me to come over and interrogate you?" His Majesty has long been convicted. ”
Concubine Li was silent for a while and muttered, "I see." ”
She coughed twice, and suddenly laughed, "That's okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a prince with both ability and political integrity, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has taken refuge in His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake and wholeheartedly supports His Royal Highness the Prince, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he can always compete for a prince." ”
Su Rong nodded, "It can be said that the Fourth Highness is a smart person, originally Niangniang and the Fourth Highness were already in a dead end, and after the Fourth Highness found the door of the East Palace, he was revitalized." ”
After all, if His Royal Highness hadn't come to the door by himself, she wouldn't have taken over and continued to investigate the case. For her and the crown prince, as long as the eldest prince and the second prince are overthrown, the situation is favorable to His Royal Highness the crown prince, and it is enough for the time being. As for the rest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take his time, and he is not in a hurry for a while.
"So, I can trust you." Concubine Li said softly.
Su Rong nodded, "Niangniang can indeed believe me, and she can only believe me, except for me, you can't even see His Royal Highness the Fourth, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't see him." ”
She paused, "Of course, when King Ryan recovers from his illness, you can see King Ryan in a few days, but your illness is a bit serious, are you sure that if you continue like this, will you be able to see King Ryan alive?" Or even if you live to see King Ryan, will you be able to trust King Ryan? If you believe it, you will not dare to show it when you have evidence in your hand. ”
Concubine Li looked at Su Rong in shock, incredulous, and stammered for a while, "You, how did you know that I had ...... in my hand?" Evidenced? ”
