"It turns out that you don't know, my concubine, so it seems that my life is really over!" Concubine Ling desperately stretched out her hand to Shen Ruochen, "Concubine Chen, my concubine's life is not a pity, but I still don't know the truth. What’s going on, I don’t want to die either!”

Shen Ruochen didn't hold Ling Bin's hand, it was too scary and Shen Ruochen was afraid.

Ling's concubine's hand was raised like that, but finally she couldn't hold on any longer and fell down hard, hitting the edge of the bed with a thud.

Shen Ruochen shivered instinctively, and Little Walnut hurriedly rubbed Shen Ruochen's back to comfort him, and said, "Empress Lingbi, you sent someone to invite our empress, saying that something has been clarified, please tell me quickly, our empress's palace There are other things.”

Concubine Ling nodded, lay on the bed and said, "Concubine, I have indeed found something, so I invited you here."

"What did you find out? Is your belt really from the Queen Mother?" Shen Ruochen asked anxiously.

"Yes, I just went to the Queen Mother and your concubine to investigate the matter, and I was frightened and gave birth prematurely. Maybe the emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill me. What happened to the child? Concubine Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's related, right?" Lingbi looked at Shen Ruochen and said quickly, "I just want to save my life, okay?"

Shen Ruochen, who was as tall as a monk, was confused, "Who wants to kill you?"

"Then don't ask, my concubine. I'm still confused. As long as you agree, just in case the emperor decrees, you can spare my life."

"Then the emperor's lord, I am also..."

Before Shen Ruochen finished speaking, a message came from outside saying that Mr. Kang Gui was here and wanted to see him.

"You can do it, you really can!" When Concubine Ling heard Kang Gui's arrival, her face turned pale as if she had encountered a savage beast, and she said anxiously, "My Lady, please promise me, don't let Kang Gui come in, don't!"

Shen Ruochen looked outside the door, then at Ling Concubine, thought for a moment and said, "Let Kang Guiren wait outside the door for a while, and then tell her that I have something to tell Concubine Ling, and no one is allowed in."

"yes!"

Concubine Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the bed panting, very tired, "Thank you so much, Madam."

"You're welcome, can you tell me now? What did you find out?" Shen Ruochen said.

Concubine Ling took a deep breath and said, "I used my people to check for a long time and found that the waistband is given to unmarried girls by the Queen Mother's family. The people in the palace are serving the Queen Mother, and some of them don't know about it."

"For an unmarried girl?"

"Yes, it is said that there is only one girl for every girl. Seeing this card, everyone in the family will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Lingbi took another two breaths and said, "The Manchurians all respect my aunt, I'm afraid the matter my lady wants to investigate is more important. I started with the Queen Mother’s family.”

"Then if this brand is so important, why did Wula just throw it away without sending anyone to look for it?"

"That's because she's stupid!" Ling Bin snorted disdainfully, "How can she find the sign after she's already gone in?"

Concubine Ling added, "Your Majesty usually doesn't care about these things. Since our Emperor came to the throne, he has not allowed the major clans to support their own soldiers. The Wula clan is young and is a side branch. I'm afraid they don't know the secret inside!"

"How did you find out about this?" Shen Ruochen was very curious. Even girls don't know about such confidential things. How do outsiders...

"Don't ask. You have your own way, and concubines also have their own ways. All you have to do is believe in it."

"Is what you say absolutely true?"

"The concubine is... already like this, what are you worried about? You can crush the concubine to death easily."

After talking for so long, Lingbi was almost exhausted and collapsed on the bed, even breathing was laborious. Shen Ruochen looked at the concubine Ling and said with some unbearability, "I'll go out and ask Kang Guiren why he's here. I'll tell you when I come back."

Ling Bin was speechless and looked at Shen Ruochen with pleading eyes, as if she had a thousand things to say.

"Don't worry, if I can... I will ask the emperor to spare your life," Shen Ruochen said, "I hope the emperor can give you face."

"Thank you... thank you!" Ling Bin slowly closed her eyes.

As soon as Shen Ruochen walked out, Kang Guiren rushed to greet her anxiously, "Mother, what did Lingbi say to you?"

"I didn't say anything. Why are you so excited?" Shen Ruochen looked at Kang Guiren.

Kang Guiren was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Oh, my dear, you don't know, this concubine has done something serious. Did she come to you, or did you come on your own initiative?"

"this……"

Seeing Shen Ruochen's eyes twinkling, Kang Guiren pulled Shen Ruochen aside and whispered, "Mother, no matter what, you must leave this matter alone. The Emperor is angry."

Shen Ruochen raised his eyebrows, "Did the Emperor ask you to come?"

Kang Guiren nodded.

Shen Ruochen looked at the people brought by Kang Guiren and asked, "What are you here for?"

"This..." Kang Guiren hesitated for a moment, looked around and saw no one around, and said in a low voice, "It's okay to tell the empress, but you must never tell anyone else! The emperor ordered the palace to be searched and the concubines to be interrogated. .”

"What happened? Why..." Shen Ruochen frowned, "What did Lingbi give birth to?"

"My Majesty, stop asking. It's better not to know about such an unlucky thing," Kang Guiren whispered, "My Majesty, please go back to the palace and pretend you don't know about it."

As he was about to push Shen Ruochen away, Shen Ruochen said, "Then let me ask, will she die?"

"Well," Kang Guiren hesitated, "If the situation is true, I'm afraid it will."

"Can we spare her?"

"This...it depends on the emperor's intention, but it should be enough." Kang Guiren whispered to Shen Ruochen, "Mother, did she plead with you and you didn't agree?"

"No, no, I just asked casually. She looks very pitiful."

"What pity is there? There must be something hateful about this poor person. It's all her own doing!" Kang Guiren said with disdain on his face, "Mother, I'm going to go in and question her. The emperor is waiting on the other side. Hurry up." Let's go back."

Just like that, Shen Ruochen walked out with full of questions, "Xiao Walnut, tell me what happened and why did you kill the concubine Ling?"

Xiao Walnut shook his head and asked in a low voice, "Master, shall we go back?"

"No, let's go to the Yangxin Palace!" Shen Ruochen rolled his eyes, "Go back to the palace and bring the fish we didn't eat for lunch. I'll wait for you at the Yuhuatai in front. They shouldn't be so fast. You can do it. Come find me when you’re done.”

"You said you made it yourself?"

"That's right!" Shen Ruochen said, "We made it with our own hands. There is no difference between what you made and what I made!"
