The one who returns the pearl

In the early morning of the next day, the Queen Mother brought Jina and Concubine Ling to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine Ling followed behind the empress dowager nervously, fearing that the empress dowager would tell the empress about the emperor today.Then she really can't get away with it!This queen mother is real, she came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the queen, why did she bring her...

"The servant respectfully invites the empress dowager Jin'an, the Buddha master, to make the concubine and empress auspicious!"

"Get up. The queen is inside?"

"Go back to Lafayette, the empress is inside."

"En." The Empress Dowager was supported by Qianlong and Lingfei into the side hall.

Yinreng received the news as early as when the Queen Mother left the Compassion Palace.The secret guard came to report that the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling had come.Yinfeng's good sleep was disturbed, and he was in a very bad mood, but he also knew that the queen mother must be uneasy and kind, so he called the hidden guards left by Kangxi to accompany him, and let the sticky rod hide in the dark, so that Just in case.When Yinreng heard the eunuch salute outside, he stood up and saw the queen mother, concubine Ling, and Gina coming in, and saluted the queen mother with great difficulty. "Daughter-in-law respectfully invites the emperor's wife Jinan."

Concubine Ling and Qianlong also greeted the queen.

The queen mother looked at the queen's belly and was very angry.In his eyes, the queen's behavior is cheating!Now that the ironclad evidence of the queen's adultery is in front of her eyes, how can she not be angry!

Qianlong knelt on the ground and coughed lightly, reminding the queen mother that enough is enough and not too much.After Qianlong coughed, he pretended to be frightened, and pleaded guilty: "This servant deserves to die."

Before Yinfeng saluted, the Queen Mother didn't speak, and he couldn't speak either.

Hearing Qianlong's reminder, the Empress Dowager remembered that they had more important things to do, and hurriedly said: "Queen, get up." Then she glanced at Qianlong and said: "Queen, Gina didn't do it on purpose..."

"Thank you for your kindness." Yinreng stood up, and then said to the crowd, "You all get up." The maids of Yangxin Palace hurriedly stepped forward to support Yinreng. "The Queen's Lady is right. However, the Queen's Lady spoils this court lady too much. She is sick, and you still let her take care of her. If you let the Queen's Lady get angry with her illness, it will be really big. guilty."

Qianlong thought he was guilty, knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and didn't dare to raise his head, waiting for the queen to forgive her sins.

Yinfeng's attitude is not bad, and she is the queen mother's favorite court lady, and he is not in the mood to fight with them now. "Be careful in the future. If you are sick and cannot serve the Queen Mother, you must report it to the person in charge. Don't cause a catastrophe for other things!"

Qianlong hurriedly responded: "My servant thanked the empress for her teachings, and my servants must obey the empress's teachings."

Empress Dowager Yinfeng said: "Mother Huang, my daughter-in-law has already beaten her, look..."

The Empress Dowager sat on the top seat and watched Yinreng teach Qianlong a lesson. In fact, she was very angry, but Yinreng also acted according to the etiquette. After getting down the steps, he hurriedly said to Qianlong: "Since the queen doesn't blame you, you should get up and be more careful in the future!"

Qianlong thanked him and said: "My servant thanked the Empress Dowager Lafayette for her kindness, and thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness."

Yinrong hummed.It's just that with this moment of effort, there is already sweat on Yinrong's forehead.The queen mother didn't let him sit, so Yinfeng could only stand aside with the support of the maid.

The Empress Dowager greeted Qianlong to go over and held Qianlong's hand with her hands.Qianlong held it lightly and winked at the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager then said to the maids: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you show your seat to the Empress!"

Yinreng said softly: "Thank you, Queen Mother." Yinreng sat down with the help of the maid, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.This empress dowager came here just to show her power to the orphan?But at this time, isn't it a bit too late?During this period of time, the Empress Dowager behaved in a strange and secretive way, and she didn't know what she was doing?

The Queen Mother looked at the people serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation: All of them are one-in-a-million beauties, but they look quite well-behaved.The queen mother said: "How is the queen recently?" Are these the emperor's new hobbies?It's just strange how the queen can bear this.

Yinfeng laughed and said, "Go back to the emperor's mother, the daughter-in-law is in good health."

The Empress Dowager said: "You are heavy now, you shouldn't worry about palace affairs anymore, why don't you hand over the order of Feng to Concubine Ling." State your purpose directly.

Concubine Ling had been standing beside the Empress Dowager with a smile, but now she was standing opposite the Empress, a little far away from the Empress Dowager.She was always worried, deeply afraid that the queen mother would tell the truth to the queen at this time, and it would be really difficult for her to get away.But when she heard that the queen taught Qianlong a lesson, she was very excited. The truth made the queen say a few words to Qianlong.Now seeing the empress letting go of Qianlong with ease, I still feel a little regretful, but when I heard the empress dowager mention her, the imperial concubine's expression froze, and she replied: "The empress dowager, there are many capable and virtuous concubines in the palace. I can't bear this burden..."

Yinreng smiled and said: "Sister Lingfei's words are not false." Yinreng looked at Lingfei's more modest smile, glanced at her indistinctly, and then said: "Emperor Niang, what a coincidence, the emperor's previous paragraph When it's time for the daughter-in-law to come over, let the daughter-in-law hand over the Feng Ling to the pure imperial concubine for temporary management. The daughter-in-law thinks that the daughter-in-law's current body should not take care of the affairs of the palace anymore. It is also good to hand over the Feng Ling to the pure imperial concubine In this way, Concubine Shu, Concubine Qing, and Concubine Wan's younger sisters can handle official affairs more conveniently, and the daughter-in-law has no objection." Yinreng lowered his head and answered the Queen Mother's words according to the etiquette.Even the Queen Mother didn't like Yinreng at all at this time, and she couldn't find any faults.I just think this queen is too strict!It's missing a lot of humanity!

The queen mother said disappointedly: "That's it, the queen is right to be worried, but why has the queen never mentioned this to Ai's family?"

Qianlong squeezed the Empress Dowager's hand, signaling to the Empress Dowager not to get entangled in this, this is not the time to pick on the empress.

After receiving Qianlong's hint, the Empress Dowager also realized that she had lost her composure, and said to the court ladies: "Let the concubine stay, and everyone else should go down first."

When Yinreng heard the words, he winked at the maid.The Queen Mother still has other things to discuss with him, and it seems that the following is the highlight.Yinfeng cheered up, ready to deal with the Queen Mother's next words.

Everyone paid their farewells in unison and left.

Yinfeng's expression remained unchanged, he waited for the Queen Mother to speak, and after waiting for a long time, she did not see the Queen Mother speaking, so he could only look up at the Queen Mother, and asked with doubts: "Emperor Niang..."

The Empress Dowager always felt that the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was a bit strange just now, and felt that the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was very depressing, and it seemed that everyone's breathing could be heard.After the maids went out, I realized that this feeling of depression came from these maids. Those maids kept their heads down from the beginning to the end, not daring to make any movements, but their eyes were all looking at Yinfeng. Seemed to be terribly afraid of him.The Empress Dowager thought about it again, and felt that she was overthinking. The Empress always respected the rules, and it was right for these maids to be afraid.The Empress Dowager looked at Yinfeng for a long time before asking: "The Empress recently felt that there is anything unusual about the Emperor."

A trace of vigilance flashed in Yinreng's eyes, with moderate worry on his face, "My daughter-in-law naturally noticed..." Seeing the suddenly excited face of the Queen Mother: Could it be that the Queen Mother has doubts about Huang Ama's identity?Yinfeng recalled that the queen mother often took Gina with her in the inner room for the past two months, and even the stick and the hidden guards could not find out what she did. Huang Ama and Gu had already guessed this, but they didn't know her Where did you know it?Yinreng changed his tone, and said: "The emperor has been too diligent recently, and he always rests very late. My daughter-in-law is really afraid that he will be exhausted." Yinreng gently touched his belly, not looking at the disappointed face of the empress dowager : It's just that what's the use of her finding a powerless Gina?Yinreng raised his eyes to look at Gina, and found disappointment on her face.Huh?This Gina is really weird everywhere!Yinreng carefully recalled his impression of Gina: when they met for the first time, she recognized her as the queen at a glance; she behaved strangely at the banquet; later, she presented gifts to Hanxiang and was appreciated by the queen mother... Speaking of which, the queen mother's habit of being alone is Since seeing her?Could it be that Huang Ama's exposure was related to this Gina, or was she telling the Queen Mother?But how did she know?Thinking about the experience during this period of time, Yinfeng thought of a possibility, and a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If it is what he thought, it would be really great!Yinfeng smiled lightly, and asked back: "Why did the Queen Mother come here to ask, why do you think that the Emperor is abnormal now?" He also needs to get some information from the Queen Mother to confirm his guess!

The Queen Mother was even more disappointed, "Queen, you haven't found anything these days?" The Queen really didn't know anything, but why did she feel that the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation had suddenly changed?It seems that she is not depressed just now, and it seems that she is more depressed than before. This is the first time she has felt such a compelling aura. Where is the pressure coming from?Could it be that Hongli was angry?But this is not like the atmosphere when Hongli was angry!

Qianlong and Concubine Ling were also sensitive to the changes in the atmosphere of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Qianlong just couldn't figure it out, who was the pressure?None of the four people present could have such an aura!The imperial concubine thought it was Qianlong's aura, and she was still happy that Qianlong was dissatisfied with the queen. Seeing the queen's unconscious smile, she despised in her heart: the queen can't feel such a powerful aura, she really lives in the palace It's been so long.The Empress Dowager, Qianlong, and Concubine Ling didn't come to the trial scene of the murder of the prince in person. If they had been to the scene in person, they would have discovered that it was actually Yinfeng's aura.

Yinreng raised his eyes to look at the queen mother, seeing the disappointed look on the queen mother's face, making the concubine watch the gentle and smiling show, and seeing Qianlong's suspicious eyes, thought of that possibility.Yinreng also didn't want to play charades with the queen mother and concubine Ling. He looked at Gina and said with a smile: "In fact, the emperor has changed a lot since he came back from the tour in Weifu. I have noticed it at that time." Yinreng looked at it with a smile Gina said: "It was only later that Gu found out that it was not only the emperor who had changed, but even the maid beside Princess Hanxiang——Jina was beyond Gu's expectations, Queen Mother," Yinfeng continued to laugh, "This You have listened to Gina for what you did for a while, right?"

The queen mother was very happy when she heard Yinreng's words, but at the end, she found that there was no respect for her in Yinreng's words, but with a strong sense of understanding and ridicule. You're so arrogant, you dare to despise Aijia, do you have any rules!"

Qianlong felt that there was something strange in the Queen's words, not only the tone, but also a deeper meaning, but for a while, he couldn't tell what was wrong.Qianlong narrowed his eyes and looked at the queen.

Yinreng looked at Gina, with a smile on his lips, waved his hand, and a palace lady appeared in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The maid didn't salute others, but stepped forward to help Yinreng up.Yinfeng helped the maid's hand to stand up, sat down next to the queen mother, looked at Gina and smiled and said: "Gina is really capable, even the queen mother wants to listen to you, I will give you a chance, tell me, who are you ?”

Seeing that Yinfeng completely ignored her, the queen mother was so angry that she said angrily, "Queen, you really..."

Qianlong first felt that the aura around the queen had changed, even he felt oppressed, and the queen didn't take the queen mother seriously at all, so he was surprised: Nalashi definitely didn't have such aura, and Nalashi didn't even dare to treat the queen mother. So rude!Wouldn't Lashi even call himself 'solitary'?In the queen's words, it's not that the title is wrong!She used to be called the Queen Mother Lafayette, and recently she also called the Queen Mother Huang'er Niang, but now she is the Queen Mother.And her self-proclaimed: From a concubine to a daughter-in-law, and from a daughter-in-law to an 'orphan'! Isn't 'Gu' the crown prince's self-proclaimed name? !Qianlong looked at the queen carefully, and heard Dao Yinreng directly ask him his identity, just about to ask who is 'she'?Hearing his Queen Mother's angry roar, Qianlong realized that Yinreng's attitude towards his Queen Mother was very nasty, and he couldn't help being angry: In the past ten years, who dared to show the slightest disrespect to the Queen Mother!The more Qianlong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he shouted directly according to his instinct: "I am the emperor! Nalashi, if you go too far, just based on your attitude today, I can destroy you!"

Yinfeng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was no smile on his face.The maid beside him lowered her head even lower, and stood tremblingly, not daring to move lightly.Concubine Ling was still gloating, but the effect of coming this time was much better than she expected. She felt that the queen was really coming to an end, and she dared to treat the queen mother like this!But it didn't take long for her to be happy, and she felt a bone-chilling coldness.The Empress Dowager was waiting for Yinreng to apologize to her, and Yinreng to kneel in front of her to plead guilty, but what she did not expect was the chilling silence in the side hall of the Yangxin Hall. , showing no emotion, one hand pulled the sleeve of the other hand, the queen mother felt that this atmosphere and this movement were inexplicably familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.As soon as Qianlong finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was scary and overwhelming. This feeling made him directly think of his Huang Mafa, the holy emperor of the Qing Dynasty!Qianlong looked at Yinreng in horror, and seeing the mocking smile on Yinreng's face, he dispelled his thought: Huang Mafa would never have such an evil smile!It's just that the person in front of her is definitely not the queen!

When Yinreng heard Qianlong's words, a killing intent flashed in his heart: There is only one person who can speak to him like this, and he only allows one person to say such words to him!Even if this Gina is Hongli, he has to pay the price for this sentence!Thinking of this, Yinfeng smiled coldly and wickedly, "Oh, Abandoned Gu? If you want Abandoned Gu, you must be the emperor... Oh, you said it just now, you are the emperor...I am Qing Dynasty After entering the customs, there are quite a few emperors, which one are you?" The palace has been so boring recently, and finally some fun came.Yinreng thought of the empress dowager's act of protecting herself wisely during this period, and Gina's promotion was logical, and her eyes became more playful. After Hongli became a woman, his tactics were so powerful that he even hid them from their eyes.Hongli, oh Hongli, you have to be tough, don't let Gu be disappointed!

Qianlong looked at the queen's arrogant smile and said angrily: "Queen, I am the current emperor, Aixinjueluo Hongli!"

Yinfeng laughed loudly when he heard the words, looked up at Qianlong, and said with a smile: "It's really Hongli..."

The Queen Mother said: "Queen, you are so courageous, how dare you disrespect the Emperor!"

Qianlong held back the queen mother, told her not to speak, and said to Yinfeng: "You are not the queen, are you? Who are you?"

Yinfeng didn't answer Qianlong's question, and said with a smile: "Hongli, judging by your actions during this time, you are not stupid. You are well protected by the queen mother and you, and even the guards at the sticky pole can't detect you. What are you planning with the queen mother. It can be seen that you are not bad, why did you do some ridiculous things before?" Yinfeng looked at Lingfei who had been pretending to be transparent and watched the show, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the wind beside the pillow is really so powerful? Then he pondered again: "Hey, who are you referring to your soft ears? You, Ama, and your uncles, there is no such thing..." As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the Queen Mother.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager could no longer hold back her anger, "Empress, how dare you talk about the royal family!"

Yinfeng laughed and said, "False intentions? I don't dare, I just tell the truth..."

Qianlong stared into Yinreng's eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Yinreng looked at Qianlong, and said with a smile: "Who is Gu, you don't deserve to know..." Yinreng glanced at the palace maid, "Let a few people come in, take the Queen Mother and the others..."

"The slaves obey."

The Empress Dowager was shocked and angry, but she had no way to reverse the disadvantage, so she could only look at Qianlong, "Emperor, what should I do?"

Qianlong looked at Yinfeng, he could vaguely guess who this person was, but he didn't dare to think about it: when I remembered, this person had already fallen, and I had never personally met this person, so naturally I couldn't make an accurate conclusion. judgment.However, if this is the real person, then who is this emperor, and who can make him willingly submit to others? !Qianlong was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear the Queen Mother's words, and he woke up suddenly when people approached the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Qianlong only felt his whole body was icy cold, his clothes were completely wet, and after a while, he was sweating all over his body!Qianlong watched in horror as the hidden guards of the Hall of Mental Cultivation treated Yinreng respectfully, and then saw him give the order naturally: "The queen mother said that she is tired, you help the queen mother to rest in the side hall, by the way, the concubine Ling is the one in front of the queen mother. Red man, Gina is the empress dowager's heart, you have to be more careful!"

"Hey." The dark guard respectfully accepted the order.Please come over, Queen Mother.

The queen mother said angrily: "Queen, what do you mean, how dare you disrespect Aijia!"

Concubine Ling was also shocked and angry, "The empress is going to put the empress dowager Lafayette under house arrest? Aren't you afraid of killing the nine clans?!"

Yinfeng smiled and said: "Concubine Ling, you should save your energy and think about how to deal with the situation for a while! By the way, Gu reminds you that Lafayette is what the slaves call the emperor. Lingfei calls the Queen Mother that way. Want to frame the Empress Dowager and usurp the throne?" After Yinfeng finished speaking, regardless of the more confused and terrified faces of the Empress Dowager and Ling Fei, he said to the dark guard: "Take it down!"

The Empress Dowager wanted to make trouble again, but Qianlong held her by the corner of her clothes, so she had no choice but to quiet down and follow the hidden guards down to the side hall to 'rest'.

After the dark guard took her down, Yinfeng felt it was funny: I never thought that Hongli would become Gina, it's hard for him to adapt!Hahaha!Yinreng laughed for a while, and then called the guards at the sticky pole, let them go, and Yinzhen called over.
