Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 98
Song Qingtong was taken aback, and looked at Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe folded his robe and knelt down on the ground, and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, I believe that my ministers did not collude with you to leave the palace, please make a clear decision!" Ji Yunhe knew that once he told the news of Ji Xiangru's return, Ji Xiangru was likely to be arrested He hesitated again and again during the torture by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but Song Qingtong was kind to Jifu, so he couldn't be so selfish, so he decided to tell her.

Song Qingtong looked at Ji Yunhe who was kneeling on the ground, in fact, the real spy had been found, the suspicion on Ji Xiangru had been cleared, Lin Xiangwan was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice these days, Chen Mian had been severely punished, but she was Keeping silent, Chen Mian didn't ask a single word. According to Chen Mian's cold eyes, this woman should be a specially trained killer.

Ji Yunhe said again: "Your Majesty, my brother has been in poor health and was imprisoned again. Now his body needs to be recuperated. Even if I want to take my brother to the Ministry of Punishment, wait for him to recover."

Song Qingtong smiled slightly. She was satisfied that he didn't hide the fact that Ji Xiangru had returned from her. Then she could tell Ji Yunhe about Lin Xiangwan. As far as she knew, Ji Yunhe was also looking for Lin Xiangwan these days.So, Song Qingtong let Ji Yunhe die, and told Ji Yunhe about Lin Xiangwan.

After hearing this, Ji Yunhe was stunned for a while. When Lin Xiangwan married into Ji's mansion, he happened to be selected into the palace, so he didn't know her well, but his mother and servants had a good impression of her, and they praised her a lot , Ji Yunhe sighed secretly, knowing people and faces but not heart, this matter must not be let mother know.

"Yunhe, where is Brother Ling being imprisoned these days?" Song Qingtong asked, if he knew where he was imprisoned, and followed the clues, he might be able to find the lair of the rebellious party.

Ji Yunhe shook his head and replied: "My younger brother said that he was hijacked by Xue Rulai that night to tap his acupuncture points. When he woke up, he found himself in a dark room. Every day, a masked man regularly delivered meals and medicines. He hasn't done anything for more than a month. Seeing the sun, I never left that room until last night, when a masked man came, tapped his acupoints, and rescued him back to the mansion."

Song Qingtong was pensive, and Ji Yunhe said: "Your Majesty, since Xiangru was wronged, please return him innocent."

Song Qingtong shook his head: "Yunhe, you haven't got Ligong's rebellious party yet, so the grievance between Lingdi and Ji's mansion must be put aside, and the news of Lingdi's return must be kept secret, and I will send guards to protect Lingdi. "

Ji Yunhe's eyes were bright, he understood Song Qingtong's meaning, as long as the news of Ji Xiangru's return did not come out, she could turn a blind eye and pretend she didn't know about it.

"Your majesty is willing to believe in Xiangru. I am grateful. Once the affairs of the minister's mansion are settled, I will return to the palace to serve the emperor." The voice trembled slightly because of excitement.

When Song Qingtong heard the last word, her head dilated twice, and then she remembered that Ji Yunhe was still her man in name, and it seemed that the demining work was not over yet.

After Ji Yunhe left, Song Qingtong began to review the memorial, until the sun was setting, and Fuquan came in to report: "The queen asked the emperor to go to Jingde Palace and tell me something."

Song Qingtong put down the memorial, Shangguan Lianyue had never taken the initiative to look for her, this time it was probably a very important matter, she left the Imperial Study Room, took a dragon chariot to Jingde Palace.

The lights in Jingde Palace were brightly lit, and the eunuch was putting the dinner on the table. Shangguan Lianyue was wearing a wide-sleeved plain robe, looking at Song Qingtong who walked into the palace gate, and said indifferently: "Please sit down, Your Majesty, we will eat while you eat." Say."

Song Qingtong raised her eyebrows, is there still food to eat?The sun came out from the west, walked to the dining table, looked down at the dishes on the table, the color was light, and the aroma in the nose was also very light, it's good to change the taste once in a while, and smiled: "Okay..." The two were in the Sitting opposite each other at the table, all the eunuchs retreated, and Song Qingtong suddenly felt a lot lighter. No one likes a group of people dangling in front of their eyes when they are eating, and each of them has tense faces.I picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, last time I saw him eating with relish, I guess it tastes good, put the bamboo shoots in his mouth and chew, the taste is crispy and delicious.

Shangguan Lianyue stared at Song Qingtong and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that Lin Kuang is colluding with Li Palace."

Song Qingtong was taken aback for a moment, never thinking that he would suddenly say such a sentence, and rolled his eyes: "Does the queen have any evidence?"

Shangguan Lianyue pondered: "I suspect that Lin Kuang imprisoned Ji Xiangru in the dungeon in his mansion."

Song Qingtong's eyes widened, and he said in shock, "You saved Ji Xiangru? But how did you know?"

Shangguan Lianyue shook her head: "Ji Xiangru was not rescued by the minister, but the intelligence network of the Shangguan family is not vegetarian. Last night, someone saw a masked man carrying Ji Xiangru through an alley, which is just behind the Lin residence. , I sent people to the Lin Mansion to investigate secretly, and found the entrance to the dungeon in a hidden place. Moreover, I also found out that when Lin Xiangwan lived in Lin Kuang's mansion, he had an affair with Lin Kuang, and that Lin Kuang's younger brother Lin Jue was there He confessed it himself after drinking."

Song Qingtong frowned. If Ji Xiangru was imprisoned by Lin Kuang, then what about Faluan? He glanced at Shangguan Lianyue: "Have you found Faluan's whereabouts?"

Shangguan Lianyue's eyes flashed, and said: "If my Patriarch's estimation is correct, this person has already left the capital."

Song Qingtong was pensive, and suddenly remembered something. After Feng Lingxue was assassinated by Tongxu, Lin Kuang asked to visit Feng Lingxue on his behalf. Could it be true that he visited Feng Lingxue and took Faluan out of the city?So where is Faluan now?
Shangguan Lianyue stared at Song Qingtong and said, "Now there are various signs that Lin Kuang colluded with Li Palace, what does the Emperor plan to do?"

Song Qingtong put down her chopsticks and was no longer in the mood to eat. Her temples were throbbing with pain. What should she do?What would happen if Chu Tianmo knew that Lin Kuang had colluded with Li Gong?With his personality, he would naturally not protect his weaknesses. Not only would he not, but he would also demote himself, and even take the initiative to receive punishment. However, his body has not recovered yet, so this matter can only be suppressed first.

Looking up, she saw Shangguan Lianyue staring at her for a moment, her eyes flashed: "The situation is not dangerous, I have already sent someone to monitor, I hope to find out the chaos in the palace and wipe them out."

Shangguan Lianyue's eyes turned slightly when she heard the words, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, but she didn't pursue it further.

After dinner, Song Qingtong drank a few sips of tea, put down the teacup, and drank the tea after the meal. It was time to leave. She took a look at Shangguan Lianyue, who was drinking tea with her head down, and glanced at Song Qing Tong, in a seemingly casual tone, said: "The water is ready, the emperor can take a bath in the Hibiscus Pond."
