"My lord, the concubine Nian is here." Qingyu reported.

"Come in, please." Ling Rong hesitated for a moment, and then asked someone to invite Concubine Hua in.

It was obvious that Concubine Hua came quietly in the dark, and she was completely covered by an ordinary black cloak.Looking at Concubine Hua's flushed cheeks from the cold, Ling Rong knew that Concubine Hua must have wandered outside for a long time before finding a chance to hook up with the people around her.

Concubine Hua has really grown up a lot, and she is much more considerate than before.

It was already late at night, apart from Hu Po who just came to report to Ling Rong, only Liu Li and Qing Yu were waiting by Ling Rong's side.When Amber saw Concubine Hua, she looked a little vigilant, and she firmly guarded Ling Rong's side.

"Huber, serve tea." Ling Rong patted Huber's tense shoulder and said with a smile.

"My lord..." Hu Po felt worried and hesitated.

"It's okay, let's go." Ling Rong urged.

"Yes." Amber hesitated for a moment or left obediently, but quickened her pace, thinking that she should come back quickly to protect her little master.

Inside the room, Concubine Hua said directly: "I didn't harm you, I didn't do those dirty things, someone wanted to frame me."

"I know." Ling Rong was surprised that Concubine Hua would come, but she was not surprised by Concubine Hua's words, she just didn't expect Concubine Hua to come to explain in person.

"You know? I've always wondered why you believed me for no reason?" Concubine Hua looked at Ling Rong with a scrutinizing look.

"Then why did the empress come to explain to me?" Ling Rong asked back.

"..." Concubine Hua choked for a moment, she really couldn't answer, and she didn't know why she thought Ling Rong would believe her without hesitation.

"Hmm." Concubine Hua cleared her throat in embarrassment, and continued: "These are not important, the important thing is do you have a clue about this matter?"

"Then I have to ask the empress, who in this palace most wants to put the empress to death, but the empress knows it well?" Ling Rong asked back with a smile.

"I have made countless enemies over the years. There are not a few people who want my life, but there are not many people who can really kill me." Concubine Hua sneered, "Empress counts as one, and Concubine Jing will also give up. Zhen Huan is reluctant, and doesn't know who it is."

"I don't think it's the queen." Ling Rong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"That's right, now that I'm out of favor, it doesn't matter to the queen. She doesn't have to make trouble with me. Compared to me, I'm afraid the queen wants to see Zhen Huan convicted." Concubine Hua said mockingly.

"Your Majesty, why should you belittle yourself? If your Majesty is willing, it will not be difficult to regain honor and favor." Ling Rong said.

"Hmph, I don't care about it." Concubine Hua snorted, "Since it's not the queen, I don't think it will be Concubine Jing. Is it Zhen Huan? Does she have such a great ability?" Concubine Hua was a little skeptical.

"Maybe there is an expert to help." Lingrong reminded: "A 'master' who hates your mother."

"Do you know anything?" Concubine Hua asked sharply.

"I don't know anything, I just heard a story when I first entered the palace." Ling Rong guided.

"The past?" Concubine Hua frowned, and after thinking about it again, Concubine Hua suddenly had an answer.

"It's her! Concubine Qi Yue!" The hatred in Concubine Hua's eyes seemed to overflow.

"I won't disturb your rest, let me leave." Concubine Hua stood up abruptly, eager to leave.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment." Ling Rong hurriedly said.

"You want to stop me?" Concubine Hua said coldly without turning her head.

"I'm just reminding my lady that this matter may not have been done by one person, can my lady be calm?" Ling Rong said helplessly, feeling a little helpless for Concubine Hua's impatience.

"Your Majesty, please drink tea." Amber also came back at this time, and served tea to Concubine Hua indifferently. Concubine Hua took the tea and sat back on the chair again.

"Since the empress is not in a hurry, let's talk about one thing." Ling Rong leaned on the soft pillow and said with a smile.

"Okay." Concubine Hua took a sip of tea, then put the teacup back on the table, as if listening attentively.

"The first thing, ma'am, the congratulatory gift you sent was tampered with, do you have a clue?" Ling Rong asked, but he vaguely had an answer in his heart.

Concubine Hua calmed down, carefully recalling the bits and pieces that happened these days, and soon got a clue, but she was not sure yet.

"This matter still needs to be confirmed by the palace, so let's talk about the next thing first." Concubine Hua said.

"Okay. The second thing, Madam, do you know what evidence was provided by the person who framed Madam? Is there a way to clear yourself of the crime?" Ling Rong asked.

"The so-called evidence is just the confession of several court ladies and eunuchs, as well as some property with imprints. They are all things that can be believed or not. I refuse to plead guilty, what can she do to me?" Concubine Hua said.

"This is the third question." Ling Rong said seriously: "Even if the empress can make these people change their mouths to testify against the person behind the scenes, she can still refuse to plead guilty. It is unknown whether the charges will be convicted or not." Everything depends on the emperor. Just a thought, Ling Rong thought to himself.

"Do you want me to let her go like this?!" Concubine Hua was angry.

"If you can't catch the coach, your majesty can catch the lieutenant first. Do you think the lieutenant will abandon himself in order to protect the commander?" Ling Rong looked at Concubine Hua and asked with a smile.

"Heh, who would abandon themselves to protect others. Rest in peace, I will leave first, and I will come to see you after I finish those people." Concubine Hua drank all the water in her teacup and walked away. go.

Looking at the back of Concubine Hua leaving, Ling Rong felt a little complicated. She never thought that one day, she and Concubine Hua would stand on the same front, let alone that she would trust Concubine Hua so simply.The opportunities in life are truly amazing.

Knowing one of the masterminds, Ling Rong couldn't help thinking about who the other mastermind would be.

The plum blossoms are medicines that induce premature labor. Her fetus will be well-raised. If it is just induced labor, it will not cause too much harm to her and the child. Therefore, Concubine Duan should only target Concubine Hua, but Zhen Huan is afraid Maybe he wants to use Concubine Duan's hand to deal with her.

Concubine Duan's frame-up methods seem serious, but they are not a real dead end. Apart from seeking revenge from Concubine Hua, what Concubine Duan values ​​and wants to know more is the emperor's attitude. At the same time, she also leaves room for herself. It's also self-protection.It is a pity that the emperor has not given an answer for a long time.

Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua, the grievances between them may really have to be endless, but Concubine Duan has always been with Zhen Huan, and this time it hurt her again, so don't blame her for fighting back.

What Ling Rong is more concerned about now is that the medicine that made her feel weak at that time was the medicine that almost killed her!Who is the one?Who could attack him so unknowingly?And the timing was so good.I'm afraid that the only ones who can do this are those close to her.

Ling Rong didn't want to think about it this way, but the facts told her that only the people around her were the most likely. As for the people behind her, she didn't have any clue yet.

"My lord, it's time to take the medicine." While thinking wildly, Liuli came in with the soup.

"Yeah." Ling Rong took the medicine bowl and drank it absent-mindedly.

"Has the young master's wound still hurt today?" Liu Li asked worriedly.

"There's nothing serious, don't worry." Ling Rong came back to his senses and said to Liuli with a smile.

"Young master should take good care of your own body. I really scared the servants that day. Fortunately, the young master is safe and sound. Otherwise, how will the young master let the servants deal with themselves?" Liuli buried her head in Ling Rong's hands, unable to bear it. He choked up.

Before Lingrong was weak, Liuli didn't dare to cry in front of Lingrong, the fear in her heart had nowhere to express, almost crushing her.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid." Ling Rong patted Liu Li's head and comforted her.Liuli has a calm temperament, and rarely speaks out when she is suffering or worrying. If she is not afraid of disaster this time, she will not lose her composure like this.

Liuli slowly stopped crying, but her eyes and nose were red, and she looked a little pitiful.

"Liuli, besides you and Qingyu, who else touched the soup I used on the day of delivery?" Ling Rong asked.

"That day Qingyu took people to pick plum blossoms. The soup was supposed to be prepared by the servants. At that time, the servants happened to have something to do, so they gave it to Baojuan. Later, Baojuan helped to bring it to the young master." Liuli thought for a while. replied.

"Baojuan?" Ling Rong narrowed his eyes dangerously, recalling the details of that day carefully, only to find that there were traces everywhere, it was because he was too used to it and was careless.

"My lord, Mammy Wu wanted to come to visit my lord today, but my maidservant didn't agree because she was afraid of disturbing my lord to rest. Does my lord want to see her?" Liuli stopped crying and asked Ling Rong.

"Nurse Wu?" Ling Rong asked suspiciously, his mind went blank, not knowing who Liuli was talking about.

"Nurse Wu is the steady woman who delivered the baby that day." Liuli answered Lingrong's doubts.

"It turned out to be her." Ling Rong suddenly realized, that brave woman.

"Do you know what she is asking for?" Ling Rong asked.

"I heard that something happened at home, and I want to ask for grace to go home." Liu Li said.

"This Wumao knows medicine?" Ling Rong asked.

"I don't understand. The servant once asked her for advice on how to recover from wounds and postpartum recovery. The methods she said were based on experience without basis, so the servant did not dare to use it." Liuli replied.

"A person who doesn't know the slightest bit of medical skills, dare to propose the method of caesarean section for my palace? He also knows how to save adults and children as much as possible." Perhaps it was specially trained by someone, Ling Rong narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Go and call Hu Po and Bao Juan, I have something to explain." Ling Rong ordered.

"Yes, I'm going now, servant." Liu Li turned and left without asking any further questions.

After a while, Amber took the lead to enter the door, Ling Rong whispered a few words in Amber's ear, and Amber hurriedly retreated.

Afterwards, Baojuan also came in, and Ling Rong looked carefully at the person who had served her for two lifetimes, but found that she still couldn't see her thoughts clearly.

"Baojuan, how old are you this year?" Ling Rong asked.

"My lord, this maidservant is twenty-one this year." Baojuan replied respectfully.

"It's 21, it's my palace that delayed you. Why don't I ask the emperor for a favor to let you out of the palace?" Ling Rong looked at Baojuan and asked.

"My lord?" Baojuan looked at Lingrong in surprise, a little moved.

"This is what I agreed to before, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient." Ling Rong said coldly.

"My lord, slave... slave..." Baojuan knelt on the ground with a plop, trying to refute but was speechless.

"For the sake of master and servant, you can tell yourself, as long as you answer truthfully, I will still fulfill my promise to you." Ling Rong said.

"I don't know what the little master will tell me." Baojuan insisted.

Ling Rong didn't speak any more, but just stared at Baojuan fixedly, her heart became completely cold.

At this time, Amber came back, with some evil and bloody aura on her body.Baojuan, who was kneeling on the ground, did not shy away from it, and she truthfully reported: "As expected by the young master, the old woman was indeed ordered to deliver the baby by someone, and her purpose was to help the young master to be safe and safe." ' to give birth to a child."

"Can I ask who ordered it?" Ling Rong asked.

"The old lady didn't know who was behind the scenes, but she only knew that it was an aunt in charge in the palace. That person gave her a lot of money and didn't show up again." Hu Po said.

"It's okay, she doesn't know, someone will know." Ling Rong said with a cold look at Baojuan.

"Young master, don't worry, this servant will let her speak." Hu Po rudely pulled Bao Juan up and dragged her down.

After all, Baojuan's mouth wasn't hard enough, and under Hu Po's tricks, she quickly confessed that she was actually the Queen Mother.So it makes sense, but after going through so many troubles, it wasn't for the sake of killing her and the child. Was it to arouse the emperor's admiration?No wonder the emperor asked himself such a strange question that day, so didn't she say something for the person who harmed her?

Sure enough, the Queen Mother is the most terrifying person!However, she couldn't fight back, because she was the emperor's biological mother!For a moment, Ling Rong felt a little discouraged.
