Views:

Outside the Xinzhe Library, Yuan Chunwang stopped Wei Yingluo: "Where are you going?"

Wei Yingluo: "I'm going to Changchun Palace!"

Yuan Chunwang: "Don't go!"

Wei Yingluo: "Brother!"

Yuan Chunwang's expression was extremely impatient: "You owe the Queen, haven't you paid it off yet?"

Wei Yingluo lowered her head: "The Empress is very ill. If she continues to lie on the bed, she will not be able to walk or even lose the ability to speak. I have to do something for her so that I can feel at ease!"

Yuan Chunwang snorted and pointed at the dark circles under her eyes: "Working in Xinzheku during the day, and going to Changchun Palace at night, are you dying?"

Wei Yingluo waved his hand: "The Empress is a master, a teacher, more like a sister, she has protected me many times, and even did not hesitate to offend the emperor! Without her, there would be no such person in the world as Wei Yingluo! Brother, let me Do your best, okay?"

Yuan Chunwang poked her forehead hard: "You are such a big fool!"

Wei Yingluo looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "If you are sick, so will I, I will take care of you like this!"

Yuan Chunwang was stunned, then looked serious: "Can you?"

Wei Yingluo: "Just like you take good care of me, I will put the medicine in your mouth!"

Yuan Chunwang is not good at taking care of people. When she was feeding her medicine before, she always shoved the spoonfuls into her mouth. As a result, she didn't take a few mouthfuls, and the clothes were full first.

Hearing what she meant, Yuan Chunwang was both angry and funny, and pulled Wei Yingluo's cheek hard, Wei Yingluo was in pain, but couldn't help but smile: "I'm leaving!"

Watching her leave, Yuan Chunwang shook his head and went back to the door of the warehouse, but unexpectedly bumped into an uninvited guest and sank his face: "Mother Liu, what are you doing here?"

Madam Liu: "This is a warehouse, what else can I do? Just find some old things from the past, and let's go."

She felt around in the warehouse, and finally took an old candlestick and left. Behind him, Yuan Chunwang folded his arms and looked at her back thoughtfully.

In the backyard of Changchun Palace, Wei Yingluo was struggling to hold the water basin, but suddenly a hand stretched out and took the water basin for her.

Wei Yingluo: "Master!"

Fu Heng raised a finger to signal her to keep silent.

Wei Yingluo looked around and lowered her voice: "It's so late, you're not on duty in the Qianqing Palace, what are you doing here!"

Fu Heng: "I went to the military plane for the emperor to pass the decree and slipped out quietly. What about you? What are you doing!"

Wei Yingluo: "Mingyu wants to wipe herself for the queen, I'll help her!"

No, don't come!

Inside the Changchun Palace's bedroom, Mingyu stood aside with a stiff face, peeking outside the door from time to time, a layer of sweat was already pouring out of her forehead.

The edge of the bed, an uninvited guest.

Hongli looked at the sleepy eyes of the queen and whispered: "Empress, I am going to pardon Wei Yingluo and still let her come back to serve, will you be happy?"

The queen lay quietly, her eyelashes trembling.

Er Qing, who was waiting on the side, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the servant wants to tell Wei Yingluo personally, she must be overjoyed!"

Hongli's eyes lit up: "She's here tonight too?"

Mingyu looked at Erqing in disbelief, and asked with her eyes: How did you know Yingluo was here, what do you want to do

How did she know

Er Qing sneered in her heart, she is not a fool, she can't even see that there are more people in the palace. Besides, Mingyu has never been a person who can keep secrets. Fu Heng, Fu Heng, you are really entrusting her to help.

As for what she wants to do, isn't it clear enough? Er Qing got up and said, "It's in the backyard, the servant will take you there."

"No need." Hongli got up and said, looking in a hurry, "I just go there alone."

Looking at his back, Er Qing's mouth curled up unconsciously, her smile cold.

When Hongli arrived in the backyard, he saw Fu Heng holding a water basin and Wei Yingluo was helping him to roll up his cuffs.

Hongli's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his expression changed suddenly.

Er Qing pretended to be surprised: "It's so late, why are the Fucha guards here! Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know..."

Hongli's eyes swept over the two of them coldly, his face became gloomy, and he turned away without looking back.

Li Yu greeted him outside the door, holding a bright yellow file in his hand, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is the will to pardon Wei Yingluo—"

Hongli grabbed the imperial decree and threw it out: "Get out!"

Misfortunes do not come singly.

Just the day after Hongli abandoned the imperial edict, Madam Liu aggressively took a group of eunuchs and rushed into the Xinzheku warehouse, shouting, "Search!"

Wei Yingluo had just returned from the Changchun Palace, and before she had time to take off her clothes, when she encountered such a situation, she could not help frowning and staring at the eunuchs who were rummaging around.

"Search carefully for me!" Madam Liu stared at her grimly, "Don't let go of the corner!"

After a while, an eunuch came back from the corner of the warehouse, holding a wooden figure in his hand, with a rope hanging around his neck, and the rope was stained with blood.

Madam Liu said sharply, "Wei Yingluo, what is this!"

Wei Yingluo was startled.

Yangxindian study.

Concubine Xian heard that Hongli was in a bad mood today, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. The snacks she brought were put aside, and there was no heat at all. The Hall of Mental Cultivation was quiet, no one dared to speak aloud, or even breathe.

"See the emperor, see the empress." Zhen'er suddenly walked in from outside, and after bowing to the two of them, she hurried to Concubine Xian's side and whispered a few words in her ear, Concubine Xian raised her brows: thing?"

Jane nodded.

Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, something happened to Xin Zheku, the concubine has to deal with it and retire first."

Hongli raised his head suddenly: "What will happen to Xinzheku?"

Concubine Xian was surprised that Yu Hongli was interested in this: "I found that a palace maid of Xinzheku used the technique of hating victory and cursed the concubine."

Hongli: "Who?"

Concubine Xian: "She used to be the first-class maid next to the Empress of Changchun Palace—Wei Yingluo."

Hongli's expression changed suddenly: "Bring everyone here, I will personally interrogate them!"

The little wooden man was quickly delivered to him.

A very rough wooden figure, made of miscellaneous wood, with some wood thorns on it. A blood-stained rope was tied around his neck, and upon closer inspection, it was actually woven from human hair, which was soft and slender, like a woman's hair.

Hongli was playing with the little wooden man, and his expression was uncertain.

Not only did the evidence arrive, but so did the witnesses.

Madam Liu knelt on the ground and said with sincerity and fear: "Your Majesty, Madam Ben, a few days ago, the servant received a secret letter saying that someone secretly cursed and killed the noble concubine, and there was evidence hidden in the Xinzhe library, the servant did not believe it. But the matter was of great importance, so we had to order a strict search, and found this puppet in the warehouse where Wei Weiyingluo temporarily lived. The puppet had the birth date of the imperial concubine written on it, the back was full of bloodstains, and the neck was still tied. A hemp rope, obviously, Wei Wei Yingluo has been secretly cursing the imperial concubine, and only the imperial concubine will kill!"

Concubine Xian: "Wei Yingluo, what do you say?"

How could Wei Yingluo admit to the accident, and immediately denied it: "Someone deliberately hid the puppets in the warehouse and trapped them as slaves!"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian." Madam Liu glanced at her and said, "Wei Yingluo lives alone in that warehouse. Who else would bury this puppet besides her?"

Wei Yingluo said categorically, "The slave has never done it!"

"Also, after the imperial concubine went away, everyone in the palace was full of grief. She was the only one who didn't change her face and laughed as usual." Madam Liu said sternly, "Only those who deeply hate the imperial concubine would act like this! Wei Yingluo , you feel your conscience and say, aren't you such a person?"

Without Wei Yingluo opening her mouth, Hongli knew that what Madam Liu said was true.

Even if it wasn't for herself, for the unconscious queen in Changchun Palace, Wei Yingluo would hate Concubine Hui from the bottom of her heart, and she was different from others, others hated it when they hated her, but she would retaliate against the other party, like the one in the imperial mausoleum. Concubine Yu turned into a dead bone because she offended her.

"Humph!"

The wooden man drew an arc in the air and landed in front of Wei Yingluo.

Hongli stood tall and stared at her coldly: "The iron evidence is like a mountain, you still don't plead guilty!"
