Chapter 522
After the latter left, it took another half an hour before he said to Gao Yuwang with a gloomy face: "I pass on my will to promote Jin Yiwei from the fourth rank to Ling Mengqi to be the fourth rank acquaintance, hereby!"

"According to my decree, promote Jin Yiwei from the fourth rank to serve Ling Mengqi as a genuine fourth rank fellow acquaintance, and reward 1000 taels of gold, hereby!"

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Gao Yuwang was startled at first, he didn't understand why the emperor hated Ling Mengqi to death just now, and was promoted to his official position in a blink of an eye, but after thinking about it, he understood.

The emperor loves the noble concubine and empress, and he, who can barely be regarded as a stepfather, wants to kill the boy surnamed Ling. Although the empress will be angry, it is definitely not as sad as His Royal Highness King Ning's younger brother who wants to kill his own mother and compatriots. Now the emperor has no choice but to take the blame if he doesn't take the blame, otherwise the empress will not only have a rift with the emperor, but may also have a rift with His Royal Highness King Ning. The two evils are the lesser, and the emperor has to endure nausea and resentment , followed his own advice and continued to praise the kid surnamed Ling.

It has to be said that Gao Yuwang is really a roundworm in the emperor's belly, and he guessed the emperor's mind very closely.

The emperor is indeed planning to take the blame for King Ning in front of Concubine Luo. He understands Concubine Luo's temperament. She seems weak and has no opinion, but she is actually the most paranoid. Once she knows that it is the one who will kill one of her sons this time Her other son, she might collapse immediately, and she didn't know what stupid things she would do at that time. The emperor didn't want to take this risk, let alone cause a rift between mother and son.

And the most crucial point, the emperor doesn't want King Ning to know that he already knew what happened back then, otherwise how will their father and son, Concubine Luo Gui and his mother and son meet in the future?After all, what happened back then was disgraceful. Whether it was them as parents or King Ning as his son, even if it was just tacit understanding, it would inevitably cause embarrassment, and even create a estrangement. Wouldn't this be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon?

It's just that even if he thought clearly in his heart, the emperor's displeasure, his expression when he issued the decree naturally couldn't look any better. Gao Yuwang knew he was displeased, so he didn't dare to say more, and responded respectfully, "I obey the decree!" , then retreated to the outside of the hall, and sent people to pass the message to the pedestrian department to draft an order.

In the evening, Citron was carefully persuading Concubine Luo to have dinner, "... Madam, your lunch is useless, and if you don't need dinner, what can you do if you become hungry? I just went to the small kitchen to cook it myself. A few of the side dishes that my wife likes to eat, and I also made Bigeng porridge, my lady should use some of it, and try to see if the servants' craftsmanship has not deteriorated."

Concubine Luo's expression was dispirited: "Just leave it alone, I really have no appetite."

"But you will damage your health..." Before Citron could say anything, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "It's really not good to eat alone, and I don't have dinner after the whole meal, Citron, you Let someone prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and I will accompany your mother to eat."

Citron quickly leaned over to salute, and glanced at Concubine Luo quietly, seeing that she was also bowing to the emperor, she was relieved, it was rare that the emperor calmed down so quickly and came to coax the empress first, she was really afraid that the empress would continue to serve He said, the emperor is the emperor after all, and it really annoyed him at that time, it's not the empress who will have a hard time in the future.

Luo Guifei thought she also knew this truth. Although there was still no smile on her face after getting up, at least she spoke softly: "It's already this hour, why hasn't the emperor had dinner yet? Could it be that there are too many political affairs today? The government loves the people is the blessing of all people, and it should also cherish the body of the dragon, and it must be known that only when the body is healthy can there be everything else."

The emperor saw that Concubine Luo was no longer blindly angry with himself, and his voice became softer: "Since you know that you can only have everything else when you are in good health, you should cherish yourself, and you are still advising me, don't do this in the future. "

While talking, Citron had already led people to set up the dishes and chopsticks for the emperor, and ordered some people to add some dishes that the emperor liked to eat, Fang Gong invited the emperor to sit opposite Concubine Luo, and began to eat.

Concubine Luo Gui still had no appetite, but seeing that the emperor seemed to have a good appetite, she still spent some time with her. After the meal was finished, she rinsed her mouth and the maid brought her some tea. I don't know if the emperor has found out what's going on?"

After asking, he couldn't help clenching the veil in his hand. Although he already believed that the emperor had done what happened, he still couldn't help holding on to hope that he really misunderstood, otherwise she wouldn't know about it in the future. How can I get along with the emperor.

The emperor frowned at the question, and then answered the wrong question: "I have made a decree to promote him as the fourth rank of the Jinyiwei, and he will be regarded as the number one person in the Jinyiwei in the future. At his age, he can become the fourth rank with real power. He is the first one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. I also rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold. Isn’t he about to get married? Can you rest assured now?"

Concubine Luo didn't want to hear this, she frowned and asked: "This concubine thanked the emperor on his behalf first, but this concubine wants to know who is the one who wants to kill him!"

As he said that, he suddenly realized that the emperor had suddenly been promoted to Brother Yuan's position. Could it be that the emperor really wanted to kill him, but now that the incident happened, he was afraid that he would continue to quarrel with him, so he was trying to compensate Brother Yuan in a disguised form?

The emperor only looked at Luo Guifei's expression and knew what she was thinking. Although he was very displeased, he had no choice but to say: "I can assure you that I really didn't do it, but who did it, I don't know who it is." I don't know, anyway, he has returned to Beijing safely, so let's stop here. At most, I promise you that I will never let him go out for business in Beijing. Even if he really needs to go out of Beijing, I will secretly send someone to protect him. It’s going to happen again.”

From the emperor's point of view, these words were already the biggest concession and compromise he had made, and he really felt aggrieved and aggrieved.

But in Concubine Luo's ears, it's not the same thing. She only dares to be the emperor, but she dares not to be the emperor. Are you kidding me, you said you didn't do the thing, then find out the real mastermind behind the scenes and let the concubine be convinced, but you want to say that you don't know who did it, and there is still you in this world Do you want to know something that you can’t? You will only make your concubines look down on you more and more, and feel that you, as the king of a country, don’t say what you say, and dare not admit what you have done. If your behavior spreads , what prestige do you still have in the future, the words 'You have no jokes' have become a big joke in the eyes of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and even the people of the world...Ah..."

Concubine Luo's increasingly excited voice stopped abruptly after a crisp sound of "pop", and her person also fell to the ground after a scream, but the emperor was so anxious that he finally couldn't bear it. He gave her a palm.
