The emperor nodded and turned to leave.

The queen mother suddenly called him back, and discussed with the emperor with red eyes, "Can you also keep the title and execute him secretly?"

The emperor frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head firmly at the queen mother, "This matter is too serious, I don't even have the face to plead with those courtiers!"

"How did he end up like this!" The Queen Mother cried again, her body trembling and twitching, "His parents left early, and he was raised by Ai's family. It's really great to treat him as much as a young son." He was willing to give him anything, and he didn't suffer any grievances. What is the reason that made him do such cruel things to those women?"

"I'm also surprised." The emperor sighed, reassuring the Empress Dowager not to be too sad, "Since the matter has come to this point, there is no need to study the cause, the end is doomed."

Shui Rong is sure to die, and as for preserving his reputation, the emperor doesn't have the time to help him.After all, Shui Rong is just a county king with a different surname, and the scandal he caused has nothing to do with the royal family, so the emperor is too lazy to help this beastly person.

"His eldest son is not yet one year old. What happened to them, mother and child, how can they live?" The queen mother wept again, thinking of the soft child, she felt even more uncomfortable.

The emperor resolutely refused to back down. He only took a step back when he saw the empress dowager crying pitifully, and suggested, "Let them leave Beijing afterwards, so that they can live better."

The queen mother looked at the emperor for a long time with tears in her eyes, and finally nodded.Murder is a heinous crime. Even if the other party is a pariah, because of the large number of people, she can't allow her to ask for anything more, and she doesn't have the face to ask for it.

The queen mother closed her eyes and squeezed out two lines of turbulent tears.She leaned on the back of the chair in despair, crying out of breath, and needed the maid to help her so that she could have a chance to breathe.

At this time, it was useless for the emperor to say anything more, so he resigned silently, and sent two imperial doctors to wait outside, while the empress dowager was overly sad and suddenly had an old illness.

Gyeonggi Province, inside the prison.

Shui Rong sat on the wooden bed dumbly, staring blankly at the ground in front of him, his expression remained motionless, like a sculpture.

It took a long time before his eyelids moved.The death-like silence in the cell, and the smell of decay in the air, all these conditions seemed to indicate his future.This body will eventually die, its bones and flesh will rot and turn into dust.

He just died.He may have thought that his secret would be discovered, but he never thought that he would die so early because of this secret.

Now his only hope is the Queen Mother, but judging from the current situation, even with the support of his Queen Mother, it is useless.In this world, it is the emperor who counts, and those who can influence the emperor's thoughts, such as Jia Lian, Lin Ruhai, Jing Yingguang, and the fourth prince and his mother Liu Guifei, will not speak well of him.As long as these people are unwilling and the emperor is unwilling, the queen mother will just lose her mind and fight alone, which is useless.In the end, the old lady still wanted to be wise and protect herself, and chose to give up on him.

Suddenly there was a sound of opening the door, and then the guard shouted, "The Duke is here."

Shui Rong stood up abruptly, even hurriedly adjusted his appearance, and still wanted to face Jia Lian in the usual posture.

But Jia Lian didn't come in. The one who walked in was Aunt Qi who was crying with trembling steps.

When Shui Rong saw her, he narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Why are you?"

"I want to know why, why do you have to kill my daughter?" Mrs. Qi's anger was all expressed on her face, with ferocious, hatred, and incomparable hatred.

The more Shui Rong saw her like this, the happier he smiled, and even asked in a teasing tone, "Why should I tell you?"

"You killed my daughter, and you can still laugh, bah! You scum!" Aunt Qi frantically grabbed the railing, and spat in her watery face.When this person cries, his nose is prone to tears and snot. Aunt Qi is even more special, she can cough up a mouthful of phlegm, and spit it on her water-soluble face with precision.

Shui Rong's complexion suddenly changed, he touched it with his hand, looked down at the sticky, hot and yellowish thing in his hand, and suddenly felt sick and vomited.He still thought it was dirty, and had no place to wash his hands, so he hurriedly rubbed it with his hands, yelling frantically that someone should cut off the water for him.

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha..." Aunt Qi laughed louder and louder when she saw him like this, and finally returned to the state of crying, and sat down on the ground.She patted the ground and shouted at the ground, "Daughter, mother avenged you, mother sent this scum to hell, you can rest in peace!"

Shui Rong was still shaking his hands violently, calling for someone to come, shouting frantically.

The guard couldn't stand the noise of the water, so he went to scoop up water.After the water solution was absorbed, it finally subsided, but there was still a grim look on the calm face.

"Do you want to know why? Call Jia Lian over, and I'll tell you." Shui Rong glanced in the direction of the prison door, and sure enough, he heard footsteps, and saw Jia Lian in green robe appear.

Shui Rong glanced at him, and then his gaze swept across Jia Lian's fingertips, there was still dirt in the nails that had not been washed off.

"It seems that you came to see me in a hurry just after you came back from the field? Oh, it shows how important I am to you."

Jia Lian glanced at him indifferently, but ignored him.

Aunt Qi stared at Shui Rong, urging him to speak quickly.

"I really want to know the reason? Well, then I'll tell you, there's actually no reason, I, just, yes, like, like." Shui Rong admired Mrs. Qi's almost distorted face with satisfaction, but smiled softly like a spring breeze "I just like to watch those delicate and silky bodies struggling, splashing the water, sinking little by little, with despair on their faces, and dying. Oh, yes, the most important point is that they all loved my heart before they died. Delusion. These stupid women really think that they can reach the sky in one step by seducing me with their bodies? Wishful thinking!"

Jia Lian frowned.

Aunt Qi pointed at Shui Rong with shaking fingers, she was so irritated that she couldn't breathe, staggered and covered her chest, her lips turned purple.Jia Lian sighed helplessly, and ordered someone to help Mrs. Qi go out, and ask a doctor to take a look at her by the way.

Jia Lian glanced at Shui Rong, and followed suit.

Shui Rong suddenly shouted: "Stop! Why, you're afraid, you dare not face me? I'm not afraid of anyone dying, what are you afraid of!"

Jia Lian rolled his eyes coldly, he had nothing to say to this lunatic.

"Why do you look at me like that? Do you think I'm perverted? Haha..." Shui Rong sneered, and suddenly shouted at Jia Lian with a cold face, "It's you idiots who can't see through! There is no real affection in this world, no matter if it is family affection." , or the relationship between a man and a woman, everything is conditional. As long as it involves people, it is all about interests. No matter whether it is a relative or a stranger, no one can escape the selfish desires deep in their hearts. So what if you are alive, but You are living in hypocrisy, and it is better to die than to live!"

"Zifeiyu doesn't know the joy of fish. You are a pervert, how can you know the life of a normal person. If I talk to you about this, I will be stupid."

Jia Lian put down these words, took one last look at Shui Rong, and turned to leave.

Shui Rong didn't expect that his words didn't irritate Jia Lian, and thought he would at least defend himself.Clutching the railing excitedly, calling out to him to tell him all the truth about herself.He was going to die, but he didn't want to die like this. He had a story, and someone should write down his story.But the other party was not interested after all, and never came back after leaving.

Shui Rong lost his way and spun around in place, suddenly, he sat down on the dusty ground.I don't care about clean and dirty...

The next day, Shui Rong drank poison and died in prison, and then the county palace was raided.

Princess Beijing and her son were demoted to common people, and they moved out of the capital overnight. As for where they went, no one knew.However, there are rumors that the Queen Mother secretly sent people to send their mother and son to Shandong in order to avoid rumors in Beijing and live a peaceful life.

Before the spring planting, Jia Lian reported the farming plan for this year as usual, and was showing the emperor the new plowing tools developed by Muban with great interest.

"This thing can increase the speed of plowing more accurately and effectively." Afterwards, Jia Lian took out two more bags from his sleeve.

The emperor looked at it, and found that one pack was a bit gray in color, and the other was whitish, with a strange smell, slightly pungent.

"Your Majesty, this is a new chemical fertilizer developed by a pesticide factory. It is just like fertilizer. Sprinkling it into the soil can promote the healthy growth of crops, produce more fruit, and reduce disease." Jia Lian stared at the emperor with bright eyes, and stared at him. talk.As long as he has something to say, he will definitely explain to the emperor the process of making these fertilizers and the mechanism of action to promote the growth of crops.

The emperor seemed to see through Jia Lian, and pretended to cough twice with his chin in his hand, without mentioning anything else, his mouth was full of words of praise, "Jia Lian, you are very powerful", "I am relieved to have a subject like you", and so on. If you don't ask, Jia Lian can't talk about it.

Jia Lian: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know how these things—"

"Ah, by the way, I've always been curious about one thing, and I really should ask you."

Jia Lian nodded hurriedly with a smile on his face, looking forward to the emperor's question.

The emperor sent away the idlers, and mentioned Shui Rong to Jia Lian, "Recently, the queen mother always has nightmares, dreaming about that person. In fact, I also have doubts, why did he kill those women. Aiqing, do you know the reason?" The emperor said When asked, he checked Jia Lian's expression. It seemed that he was clear, but he was hesitant, and the emperor immediately forced him to speak.

Jia Lian glanced at the emperor lightly, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, but he still answered his doubts. "He was raised in the palace by the queen mother since he was a child, and he may have encountered some things."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Jia Lian's hesitation, the emperor hurriedly said that he didn't care if he said it.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that 13 years ago, there was a palace maid surnamed Nan in the Empress Dowager's Palace who died in the lake in the Imperial Garden."

"Well, I know her, and she was favored by the queen mother. After she died, the queen mother still talked about it for half a year." After the emperor sighed, he suddenly realized and looked at Jia Lian in surprise, "You mean the reason why she died in the lake? Is it because of water solubility? No way, he was only 11 years old at the time, and the palace lady was about 27 or [-] at the time."

Jia Lian didn't go any further, the emperor found out what happened after that.As for the emperor's own family affairs, he is an outsider and a courtier, so the emperor must feel ashamed if he talks too much.The emperor said he didn't care about it, but in fact he loved it the most.

The emperor also understood this, and after dismissing Jia Lian, he ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the maid surnamed Nan at the beginning of the year.It turned out that she was just a low-ranking maid in the laundromat before, and through confrontation with a few eunuchs and the chief manager, she gradually became the number one maid beside the Empress Dowager, and later she became very domineering and arrogant towards her subordinates.Shui Rong, who was raised in the Empress Dowager's Palace at that time, had a beautiful pink face since she was a child, and was very attractive to women...

The emperor carefully recalled that Shui Rong was indeed lively and cute for a while when he was a child, but after turning ten years old, his temperament changed drastically. He lost the immature air of a child, and always looked smart, calm and seemingly well-behaved.At that time, the emperor and the queen mother only thought that the child had grown up, but they didn't expect it to be related to this experience.As for what happened to Shui Rong at that time and how long it took, because the two people involved are already dead, it will never be known.

After the water-soluble matter came to an end, Jia Lian relaxed a lot and concentrated on farming.The fourth prince has been reused and is training in the Ministry of Industry, so busy that he never touches the ground.Jia Lian rarely saw him.The two of them didn't really form a clique at the beginning, and they didn't maliciously suppress anyone because of the reserve position, but they were like-minded and had the same goal, so they cooperated together.But because they fought bad guys together, the two formed a deep friendship.In fact, if they don't see each other on weekdays, it doesn't affect their relationship at all.But in the eyes of others, they will not understand this relationship.

The emperor has always been suspicious, and secretly checked the relationship between the two.After passing the test of time, the emperor learned that the two of them were not really having an affair, so he was more at ease in using Jia Lian.As for the fourth prince, he is naturally the most likely candidate to become the crown prince, because he has been guarding against arrogance and impetuosity, keeping a low profile, and the emperor is becoming more and more fond of him.
