On the fifth day after Ling Rong woke up, Hu Po finally came back, looking haggard.

"Little master." Hu Po knelt in front of the bed, paying respects to Ling Rong.

"Are you back?" Ling Rong looked at Hu Po who hadn't seen him for a long time, and knew in his heart that there should be a result, so Ling Rong was not in a hurry at all.

"My lord, can I..." Hu Po looked at the little maid who was serving Ling Rong, and hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, you go down and have a rest first, and we'll talk slowly later." Ling Rong said.

"Yes." Amber didn't refuse, she was really exhausted these days.This matter involved a lot, and the emperor didn't make it clear, she needed to sort it out and think about how to report to Lingrong.

The next day, the rested Amber appeared in front of Lingrong again, Lingrong was playing with the children, only Qingyu and Liuli were by her side.

"Here you come? Sit down and talk." Ling Rong raised his eyes and said to Amber.

"Thank you, my lord." Hu Po didn't refuse, and sat on the embroidered pier.

"My lord, my servant has checked the past few days and found that this incident involves a lot of people. I can confirm that the empress, the concubine, the nobleman, the nobleman, and..." Hu Po paused for a moment, carefully After taking a serious look at Ling Rong, he continued: "There are also Concubine Nian and Concubine Hui."

"Is there any evidence?" Ling Rong clenched his hands tightly and looked at Hu Po sharply.

"Yes, the servant found some ashes of the sachet that hadn't been completely burned in the concubine's palace. The imperial doctor confirmed that there was something to induce labor in it. The servant also saw concubine wearing the sachet with her own eyes, and...concubine concubine She didn't deny it." Hu Po knew that Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang had a good relationship, but she still bit the bullet and told all the things she found out.

Hearing this, Ling Rong closed her eyes a little uncomfortable, and soon calmed down again. In this intriguing harem, she never expected to have such a sincere sisterhood, but she never thought that this friendship would be broken so quickly, so ruthless!She really wanted to ask Mei Zhuang right now, she had never been sorry to her in this life, why did she do this?It's just that at this moment, she still can't leave this sick bed.

"Continue." Ling Rong calmed down his fluctuating emotions and said calmly.

"The congratulatory gift from concubine Nian to the young master, the things on it are soaked in medicine, and the medicine is overbearing. Just a little bit of it will make people feel weak." Hu Po said.

"I didn't touch the congratulatory gift from concubine Nian. It was Qingyu's gift at the time. Qingyu had never been tricked, so how could I have been tricked." Ling Rong asked calmly.

"My lord really never touched it?" Amber asked in surprise.

"Never." Ling Rong affirmed.

"But... besides this, the servant has never found anything else that can make people weak." Amber has always believed that the culprit that caused the weakness of the mausoleum is the concubine Nian. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the things she found are all wrong? letter?

"Not everything leaves traces, or maybe the traces are just to cover up the real things that you don't want to be noticed.

Furthermore, it is impossible for Concubine Nian to collude with Concubine Hui to harm me, so what is the point of Concubine Nian trying so hard to just give me a drug that will make me weak? "Ling Rong said lightly.

"Slaves are taught." Hu Po lowered her head, a little discouraged.

"Continue to talk." Ling Rong didn't care. Although Amber had received strict training, she still didn't have enough contact with these private matters, and it was inevitable that there would be some twists and turns.But the things Amber investigates usually have real evidence, which is very helpful for her to understand the truth.

"Yes." Amber suppressed the frustration in her heart, and continued: "The nobles and nobles also found some dirty things, but as far as I know, their harmful things did not enter the Zhongcui Palace."

"What are they?" Ling Rong asked.

"A voodoo doll was found in the nobleman's palace. The fabric used to sew the doll is exactly the handkerchief that my lord had lost before. There were a few hairs on it, and it was found to be your hair, my lord." Amber said.

"How did she get the hair?" Ling Rong frowned.

"Master Qian paid a lot of money to buy a second-class maid from Zhongcui Palace, and it was that maid who took advantage of cleaning to take the young master's hair." Hu Po said.

"Where is the maid now?" Ling Rong asked.

"It's still locked up by the Department of Punishment." Amber said.

"A good interrogation, since she can get my hair, then she has the opportunity to do other tricks." Ling Rong said.

"Don't worry, my lord, Fu Hai is still interrogating." Hu Po said.

"Are the others suspicious?" Ling Rong asked.

"All the maids, eunuchs, servants and servants in Zhongcui Palace have been carefully interrogated. Apart from this maid, there is also a nun who was also found to have received money from the noble lady with the intention of murdering the young master, but she has never had a chance to do so." Hu Po road.

"Where are the Queen and Concubine Guan? How did they do it?" Ling Rong asked.

"My lord likes plum blossoms. Since the beginning of winter, plum blossoms have often been used as decorations in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Guan moved her hands on plum blossoms to chat." Hu Po said.

"There are so many plum blossoms in the palace, how does she know which one we will choose?" Ling Rong frowned.

"My servant has carefully observed that the plum blossoms in question are all sent by the flower house or picked from the Yimei Garden." Hu Po said.

"It's a big deal." Ling Rong couldn't help but sneer, "What does she want to do?"

"The plum blossoms are filled with medicines for injuring the fetus and inducing labor. The dose is not large but the medicine has strong properties. The premature delivery of the young master has nothing to do with these medicines," Hu Po said.

"Continue talking." Ling Rong took a deep breath to keep himself from getting angry.

"The midwife sent by the empress also found drugs that would make people feel weak. It's just that the nanny didn't get close when the young master was giving birth, so she didn't succeed." Hu Po said.

"Only these?" Ling Rong frowned, obviously the result was far from what Ling Rong wanted.

"Slaves are incompetent, they only found these things." Hu Po said with shame.

"It's okay. Did the emperor say something? Did the empress and Concubine Wan admit it?" Ling Rong asked.

"The emperor is still investigating, and the slaves don't dare to interrogate the queen and concubine Guan, so..." Hu Po lowered her head.

"You have done a good job, let's wait and see the rest." Ling Rong is not in a hurry, there are too many untrustworthy things found on the surface, and it is difficult to fool her, so how can you hide it? Pass the emperor.

Two days later, the emperor, whom he had not seen for a long time, came. At that time, Ling Rong was talking to Fang and Ling Shu.Ling Rong has not yet recovered, so naturally he cannot go to pay his respects, but Mrs. Fang and An's mother have to pay their respects according to the etiquette.Please be safe, and everyone retreated.

The delivery room was regarded as an unknown place, and the emperor would naturally not enter, but only talked to the mausoleum through the curtain.

"Is your body better?" The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, even if he didn't see it, Ling Rong knew that the emperor's condition was not good.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My concubine's health is better, and my Majesty is relieved. But you, Your Majesty, sounded very tired, but you stayed up late to review the memorials again? Your Majesty, you should take care of your health." Lingrong said considerately, her voice as usual Gentle and graceful.

"I have seen the child, he is very energetic, you always take good care of the child." The emperor said, quite touched.

"Isn't it right for mothers to take good care of their children?" Ling Rong replied with a smile.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "When will you be able to take care of yourself?"

"Your majesty?" Ling Rong was a little surprised, never expecting the emperor to say such a thing.

"It was almost, you were almost dead, aren't you afraid? Don't you regret it?" said the emperor.

Ling Rong is very confused at the moment, the royal practice has always been to protect the young but not the big, or it is the same in the whole Qing Dynasty, is her approach strange?Or, does she have a choice?

"Chen Qie is naturally afraid, but Chen Qie can't just watch the child die in the womb. He has been in Chen Qie's womb for so long, Chen Qie has been looking forward to him for so long, how can Chen Qie give up on him? Chen Qie I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just wanted to keep the child." Ling Rong replied after a moment of consideration.

"What do you think about this matter?" The emperor asked instead of continuing the topic just now.

"It's very complicated, and the concubine has no clue yet." Ling Rong replied truthfully.

"Huber should have told you all about it, what do you think?" the emperor asked, as if he wanted Ling Rong to say something.

Ling Rong was silent for a moment before replying: "I don't know, I just think there are some things that make it hard for my concubine to believe. Does the emperor think those things are true?" Ling Rong was a little helpless and confused.

"Zhen... things will always come to light one day." The emperor comforted him weakly.

"Since entering the palace, the ministers and concubines have kept their duties and never took the initiative to hurt anyone. Why did someone come to harm me and my child? What unforgivable thing have I done?" Ling Rong seemed to repeat Asking the emperor seems to be talking to himself.

The room fell into silence again. After a while, the emperor said, "I will give you justice."

"Is the emperor planning to continue the investigation?" Ling Rong asked sadly.

"I will not allow that harmful person to continue to do evil." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty..." Ling Rong called weakly, her voice seemed to be soaked in tears.

"You have a good rest, I will come to see you in a few days." The emperor said suddenly, feeling a little bit run away.

"Your majesty!" Ling Rong suddenly raised his voice, stopping the emperor's footsteps.

"Rong'er, if you want anything else, just tell me." The emperor said.

"The concubine...the concubine wants to see sister Hui...the concubine wants to see concubine Hui." Ling Rong said softly.

"..." The emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, I will send someone to bring Concubine Hui."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ling Rong said.

"Your body is important, don't hurt yourself." The emperor warned.

"The concubine just has a question to ask Concubine Hui, does the emperor want to stay?" Ling Rong said.

"Okay." The emperor thought about it and stayed.

Meizhuang was quickly invited in the name of Mausoleum, while the emperor sat behind a screen without showing his face.

"Sister, you're here." Ling Rong looked at the haggard Mei Zhuang with complicated emotions.

"I'm here." Mei Zhuang said softly, without looking at Ling Rong.

"Why doesn't sister dare to look at me?" Ling Rong asked with difficulty.

"..." Mei Zhuang lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"Sister... do you really... really want my life?" Ling Rong asked sadly.

"No, I didn't!" Mei Zhuang suddenly raised his head and retorted subconsciously.

"No?" Ling Rong looked at Mei Zhuang steadfastly, with some expectations, some wanting to believe, but Mei Zhuang avoided Ling Rong's sight and fell silent.

After a while, Mei Zhuang said, "I'm sorry."

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" Ling Rong asked.

"No, you're right, I was wrong." Mei Zhuang raised his head, looked at Ling Rong and said, "I'm sorry, I'm jealous of you, I'm jealous of your being favored, I'm jealous that you have two younger brothers... I was just confused... I have no intention of harming your life!"

"I don't want to hear any more, you go." Ling Rong choked up.

"I'm sorry." Mei Zhuang turned around in shame, and said, "Take care, and I'm sorry."

Ling Rong looked at Mei Zhuang's leaving back, feeling a little more empty and cold in his heart.

"Rong'er... I will give you justice." Seeing that the people had already left, the emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Rong thanked her kindly, and said after a moment of silence: "Concubine Hui still has two children, the Emperor should punish her with a small punishment, and don't let the two princesses lose their mother."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Rong said.

"You have a good rest. I will come to see you in a few days. I will give you an answer to other things when you feel better."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Rong's voice was still very low, the emperor could only sigh and left.
