The Empress Dowager shook her head in disappointment, "You have really disappointed the Ai family. It seems that you have not given up until the Yellow River. I only hope that after the results come out, you can settle this matter as soon as possible.

Stop pursuing it any further!"

Hongli didn't say anything. How could he not continue to investigate? The person who harmed Concubine Xian deserves to be paid with blood.

Hongli did exactly that and put all the concubines who had done anything to Concubine Xian into the cold palace. As for the empress, Hongli would simply ground her next time.

Even the most beloved Concubine Gao, Hongli, locked that woman up without blinking an eye, deprived her of the title of Concubine and demoted her to a concubine!

The queen was also extremely frightened. She preferred that the emperor punish herself instead of grounding herself. He felt like there was a knife on his head, but he didn't know when it would fall. He was worried every day, even though he was only six months pregnant.

, but her belly was extremely small, she couldn’t sleep well every day, and she couldn’t eat well. In just one month, she was already skinny and skinny.

It's not that no ministers participated in this matter, but Hongli ignored it, and the Fucha family was also very anxious. They really couldn't understand why the queen was banned. They thought of sending people to visit the queen, but the emperor simply didn't allow it.

Here, Hongli quickly received the autopsy results. The two corpses were indeed female corpses, and they were of the same age. But the only thing that didn't match up was that the two female corpses were still intact.

When Hongli saw this result, his face turned blue. He knew his abilities, so Ruyi and Hainan were definitely not perfect, so the two corpses could not be Ruyi and Hainan.

But where did those two people go, and what happened?

Is it possible that someone kidnapped them and created traces of fake death to threaten themselves? No, if they were kidnapped, they wouldn't be fake. After all, once they died, if they didn't insist on it, they would think they had died.

If you die, you will not be threatened by them at all...

After thinking about it, Hongli's head hurt. He still couldn't figure out what these two sentences about the corpse were about, and where the two people had gone. Then he suddenly thought of something and showed a sinister smile, "But

I hope my idea is wrong!"

Although Linlang and Hailan left the palace, their appearance was top-notch. In order to live outside, they made changes. First, they put on makeup, then darkened their skin, and then

The face shape and eyebrow shape have been modified, and they are different from the original appearance.

After Linlang and Hailan came to Jiangnan, they first rented a small yard with a mountain at their back and a small river next to it. The two of them accumulated a lot of money through embroidery.

Linlang has medical skills and sometimes helps people treat people. As for the fees, he will pay them if they have them. If they don't have them, Linlang won't ask for them. Because of this, Linlang and Hailan quickly established a foothold in this small town.

"Sister Lin, are you and Xiaolan sisters?" an aunt couldn't help but ask.

When Hailan heard this, she almost inserted the embroidery needle into her hand. She shrank her head and did not dare to answer.

Linlang smiled heartily and glanced at Hailan, "We are indeed sisters, but we are not related by blood. She is my husband's concubine. After my husband left, Hailan had no other place to go, so he followed me.

I came to Jiangnan together, ready to join my relatives, but I never thought...my relatives had moved away a few years ago, and there was no news..."

"So that's how it is. It's so pitiful that you became a widow at a young age..." The aunt shook her head, "How did your husband die?"

When Linlang heard this, her tears instantly flowed down. She picked up the handkerchief and cried, "Auntie, you don't know how miserable my life is. My husband is a romantic man. It's okay to marry me. Why don't you just marry me?"

I fell into dozens of concubines, and later...

Later, I caught horse wind in a brothel, so I went there... I originally wanted to stay in my hometown, but because of my husband, people outside spoke very unpleasantly. Xiaolan and I couldn't stand it anymore, so we moved away.

The original place..."

"Oh, you are a poor person too!" The aunt shook her head and said with a distressed look on her face.

As for Hailan, she was already stunned. What a brothel, what a horse, this... this is really embarrassing...

Hailan blushed and waited until everyone was sent away before she couldn't help but say, "Sister, you..."

Linlang naturally understood what Hailan was going to say, and smiled at him, "You don't still feel sorry for that dead man, do you? I said Feng Feng was already worthy of him, and I was going to say he had a heart disease, that damn man

Man, when he married me, he said he would be good to me and love me forever.

Guo has only been around for a long time. It’s okay to marry his direct descendant Fujin, and he still dotes on Concubine Gao. So many women look down on me. What’s more important is that when others wrongly accuse me, he doesn’t believe me at all… Hailan,

I have given up on him, otherwise I wouldn’t have figured out a way to blow him up and escape from the palace..."

"Sister!" Hailan lowered her head, "I'm sorry, I brought up your sadness again!"

Linlang smiled and said, "It's okay, just don't mention that man in front of me from now on. We have nothing to do with the past. Now, the two of us are just little widows whose husbands died!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Hailan agreed quickly, and then sighed, "Sister, we won't mention that man, but... I still have a headache now. I heard those aunts say that the winter here is very cold.

, although it won’t snow, the cold wind will pierce people’s bones like needles!”

Linlang also frowned, "Yes, although Jiangnan is good, it can be very cold in winter. Unlike the north, there is a fire bed!"

When Linlang said it was cold, it was really cold. The temperature had dropped significantly in the past few days. Although they were wearing thick cotton jackets, it was still terribly cold.

Linlang also knew that now was not the time to save money, so she bought a lot of wood and a lot of charcoal. However, the charcoal here was different from the charcoal in the palace. Once it rose, it would create a lot of thick smoke.

.

But what makes Linlang most happy is that she found coal, and used the coal to make briquettes and then made a coal stove. When the time comes, she can make a fire, boil water, and cook. It is very convenient.

.

Hailan was so happy when she saw this stove for the first time, "There is nothing like this in the palace!"

Linlang smiled and didn't say anything. The aunt who was here to be a guest fell in love with the stove instantly after seeing it, and she also made a few. Linlang repeatedly told her that if she wanted to use this thing, it must be placed in a ventilated place.

place, otherwise people will die.

In less than two months, briquettes have spread throughout Jiangnan, and are still expanding to other provinces.

Linlang had been feeling uneasy these past few days, not because of the briquette incident, but because he couldn't explain it. He always felt that something big was about to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Concubine Xian, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
