Chapter 214 The Death of Ruby
Chen Qingyun thought of all the things that happened in the palace today, and had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked softly: "What do the emperor want to do?"
The two sat down again, and Si Moli told her the emperor's thoughts, and her voice was a little heavy: "Based on my understanding of him, he will not easily change his ideas and decisions."
Simply put, it is actually the emperor who hopes that Si Moli can inherit the throne, so he deliberately arouses the struggle in the harem, trying to arouse Si Moli's ambition to seize the throne. In order to pave the way for him, he hopes that he can marry a woman who will help him.
Chen Qingyun pondered for a moment, and the expression on his face gradually became calm.
In fact, objectively speaking, even if Si Moli was not the emperor's favorite child, he was far more capable and more powerful than the current princes.
If Si Moli had not been known as a wife and had always been away from women, he would have caused more fear.
"The third prince is not upright and colludes with enemy countries. It is not worth mercy to die. The sixth prince is reckless and arrogant. He is also despised by poor students. He is not a good man. The seventh prince's mother's family is small and does not understand the government affairs, so he just wants to be an idle prince. The eighth prince was smart when he was young, but since his legs were broken, he rarely appeared in front of others. The second prince and the fourth prince died early when he was young. There are only twelve princes, who are still young..."
Chen Qingyun slowly analyzed the news collected before from Tingfeng Pavilion. After a long time, she sighed: "Mo Li, I know that you have no intention of the throne, but..."
Although the emperor's persecution is annoying, who else can this country be given to besides him...
But once you become an emperor, you will only have more things to do, such as those scenes of severing the harem, which are only found in painting books.
Si Moli's expression was stable, with a calm and detached calmness, showing her calmness after a long period of wind, frost and bloody rain: "Qingyun, I know your worries, give me some time, I will solve these things. Recently, you should try to minimize going out, and don't have too much contact with the Sixth Prince and the Imperial Concubine clan."
"Okay." Chen Qingyun and Zheng pointed.
Si Moli told her the secret of her life experience frankly, and if she is sincere to her, she will firmly believe him.
After thinking about it for so long, Si Moli never let her down and sad. He just stood behind her silently, never interfering with what she wanted to do, but he always appeared to support her when necessary.
For a moment, she even hesitated whether she should tell her rebirth calmly?
However, at this moment, a knock on the door sounded, three long and one short, which was a special signal.
Si Moli glanced at Chen Qingyun, met her gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Come in."
The person who came was a secret guard sent by Si Moli before, frowned and claimed the crime: "Your Highness, you are not good at doing things in a low position. You can't find Jiang Lin. Please punish me."
Chen Qingyun was stunned when she heard Jiang Lin’s name, but she didn’t say anything.
"What's going on?" Si Moli asked casually, and his subordinates kept adding tea to Chen Qingyun and gave her snacks.
The secret guard was shocked when he saw this scene, lowered his head deeply and replied: "Report to the prince that when Bei Zhi arrived, the exiled person had disappeared. Bei Zhi investigated several times and found that it was his former concubine Hongyu who took the opportunity to let him escape. The whereabouts are unknown."
Hearing this, Chen Qingyun became a little excited and asked in detail: "How did Hongyu do it?"
When the secret guard thought of those dirty things, he struggled to say them directly, so he secretly glanced at Si Moli, got a positive look, and then he said everything he had heard.
The exile is long, and it is still in late winter and early spring. The weather is cloudy and cold. Many prisoners often cannot support their destination and will die on the way to exile due to hunger, illness, whipping, etc.
Jiang Lin was already injured when he was being tried in prison. Before he could walk halfway through, his whole body was hot and he began to have a fever. However, the escorted official ignored these things and would only rush on his whip: "Don't leave quickly!"
Once you walk slowly, the whip will be swung on your body.
When Hongyu saw this, she felt very distressed and committed herself to several servants, in exchange for a little food and water, and gave them all to Jiang Lin.
One of the officers saw Hongyu like this, and they appreciated her true feelings of never leaving her. He knew some herbs and picked the herbs from the earthen recipes in the forest where he was resting along the way and gave them to her.
Hongyu also treated her as a dead horse and was fed to Jiang Lin.
As the saying goes, a good person does not live long, and the disaster has lasted for thousands of years. Jiang Lin struggled to survive like this.
Later, the weather became warmer, and he actually found an opportunity to run away one night.
The officers naturally did not dare to make such mistakes, and no one went to look for them, and they all thought that Jiang Lin was dead.
But Hongyu, who was caught in the cover of Jiang Lin's escape, was miserable. The officers could not find Jiang Lin and blamed Hongyu for all the crimes. Hongyu suffered a lot of humiliation and eventually died. Only the officer who gave her herbs dig a hole for her so that she would not expose the corpse in the wilderness like others.
After hearing this, Chen Qingyun was silent and sighed a little: "I didn't expect that Hongyu was the one who was most sincere to Jiang Lin in the end."
It’s just that Jiang Lin never sees other people’s sincerity.
Si Moli frowned slightly: "Since that's the case, I'll send someone to find out about Jiang Lin's traces in case he waited for an opportunity to take revenge."
"Yes, Prince."
Chen Qingyun asked again: "What about others, Mrs. Jiang, Chen Sisi Si, and Liu Mei. Do you know what the situation is now?"
The secret guard shook his head: "It was a mistake from Bei Zhi. I didn't pay attention to these people when I went there this time, but the three of them are still alive. Bei Zhi will send people to continue investigating."
"It's okay." Chen Qingyun understood that since the secret guard was heading for Jiang Lin, it would be normal for him not to pay attention to others. But in this way, except Hongyu, the other three must have not taken care of Jiang Lin much.
Retracting her thoughts, she looked at Si Moli again, but she didn't know that he had sent someone to chase Jiang Lin.
Si Moli's ear tips were a little red. He signaled the secret guard to retreat, and then said, "I'm worried that he will continue to be unfavorable to you, so..."
Chen Qingyun smiled softly: "No need to explain, I know, and now it seems that your worries are right."
"The exile land is far away from Kyoto. He has no silver on him, and it is possible to die in the wilderness. Qingyun, don't worry, I won't give him a chance to come back and hurt you."
Chen Qingyun nodded and suddenly felt that there was someone standing firmly beside you, really stable.
Because it was dark, the two of them said they would like to leave, and Si Moli sent her back to the Duke's Mansion. This time, he hugged her waist and took her into Jianjiayuan. He kissed her between her eyebrows and then left.
Only Chen Qingyun stood there, with a flying cloud on his cheeks, looking at the night sky, a trace of longing suddenly rose in his heart.
"So I really wanted to see you when I just left..." Chen Qingyun murmured.
"Yes, Miss, I miss you so long after you've been out." Pearl poked out her head, suddenly said by the window behind her, then covered her mouth and laughed.
Chen Qingyun glared at her, her face turned redder, and she walked into the house to teach her a lesson.
Pearl begged for mercy repeatedly, and then said, "Miss, after you leave, the concierge sent another letter."
