but i am a soldier
Tang Lin pressed Xian Fei's anus. Xian Fei's eyelashes fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyelids and woke up.
"Wake up! Sister, wake up!" Heng'er's excited voice lingered in Concubine Xian's ears.
With Tang Lin's help, Concubine Xian sat up and looked around. It turned out that she was in Tang Lin's room. Except for Heng'er, who was crying in tears, and Tang Lin, who looked helpless, no one else was there.
When he saw Heng'er, he remembered what happened before he fainted, and immediately grabbed Heng'er's hand, "Heng'er! Heng'er! Is that you?"
Heng'er cried and nodded, "It's me! Sister, it's me!"
Concubine Xian looked at Tang Lin with a look of confusion on her face, "I remember that your bodyguard is taking Heng'er to see the emperor. He is a fake eunuch, or has been exposed. Why are we still here?"
Heng'er cried and said, "Sister, you suddenly fainted just now. It was Concubine Tang who stopped those people from taking us to her room."
Concubine Xian immediately got up, got out of bed, knelt down to Tang Lin, and begged with all her strength: "Sister Concubine Tang, please save Heng'er. We didn't deceive you on purpose. We didn't do it on purpose."
"Come on, get up, don't do this!" Tang Lin bent down and helped Concubine Xian up. "Tell me what's going on first. You don't know the rules of the harem. Fake eunuchs are not allowed to exist. How do you think the rules don't exist?
Woolen cloth?"
Thinking of what happened back then, Concubine Xian felt very sad, "I was selected by the Queen Mother to enter the palace. My parents are no longer here. Heng'er is the closest to me and cannot live without me. After I entered the palace, I couldn't worry about him in every possible way."
, and finally asked an old palace maid who was old enough to leave the palace, and asked her to send a letter to the father-in-law for me, asking the father-in-law to recruit Heng'er into the palace when he went to the private sector to recruit eunuchs. The father-in-law is from our village.
The people here have watched me grow up since I was a child, and I was chosen as a concubine by the Queen Mother at that time. I was very pleased with the Queen Mother. Seeing that I was very popular with the Queen Mother, the principal father-in-law saw that I was not worried about something happening to Heng'er in the future, so he
He agreed to my favor. Just like that, Heng'er has been accompanying me as a personal eunuch until now. I didn't expect that the matter would be exposed. Sister Tang Concubine, I didn't mean to deceive the royal family, no,"
Tang Lin asked: "Besides you two and the father-in-law, who else knows the secret that Heng'er is a fake eunuch?"
"Yes!" Concubine Xian revealed, "Concubine Li also knows!"
"Concubine Li?" Tang Lin frowned, "How did she know?"
Concubine Xian said: "Heng'er fell in love with the little slave who was the palace maid next to Concubine De. I had a good relationship with Concubine De, so I asked Concubine De to give me the slave. After I got the slave, I thought she could be with Heng.
Heng'er was together every day. Unexpectedly, Xiaonu told Concubine Li that Heng'er was not a eunuch. That's all.
In this way, Concubine Li took advantage of me and kept using it to threaten me. If I didn't give her the good things the Queen Mother had given me, she would expose Heng'er's affairs. For the sake of Heng'er, I tolerated her.
I think the emperor knew that Heng'er was a fake eunuch, so she must have exposed him!"
Tang Lin asked again: "The slave is not a maid of the Rili Palace, so how can he tell Concubine Li about Heng'er's secret? Even if the slave wants to expose Heng'er, he should tell the Queen Mother or the Imperial Concubine this secret. How can he tell it?
Where is Concubine Li, who has a low status?"
Concubine Xian shook her head and said: "I have never been able to figure this out. Guangxian Palace and Huide Palace have never had any contact with Rili Palace, so how did Xiaonu get the chance to curry favor with Concubine Li? Besides, Xiaonu is not that kind of person.
The girl who wants to climb a branch and become a phoenix! It’s strange to say that ever since Concubine Li knew about Heng’er
After the incident about being a fake eunuch, Xiaonu was taken away by Concubine Li. So far, Xiaonu has not returned to Guangxian Palace to find Heng'er. I can see that she likes Heng'er quite a lot, so I don't restrict her from dating Heng'er.
.If she really likes Heng'er, she shouldn't tell Li Fei Heng'er's secret!"
Tang Lin analyzed, "It's related to the little slave again. Could this little slave be regarded by Concubine Li as a yellow card to expose Heng'er?"
Concubine Xian affirmed: "This must be the case. Concubine Li controls the slave just to expose Heng'er to the emperor as a witness and make me step down! For Concubine Li, it is best for everyone in the harem to have a higher status than her.
Everyone, step down! Concubine De lost her life because of her collusion with her childhood sweetheart, Doctor Zheng. Will my Heng'er...will the same happen to her?"
Heng'er immediately knelt down to Tang Lin and begged: "Concubine Tang, please, Heng'er's death is not a pity, but Heng'er doesn't want to hurt my sister!"
"Heng'er!" Concubine Xian shouted to Heng'er, feeling very sad. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Tang Lin helped Heng'er up and said with a troubled face: "Heng'er, you have to know that Concubine Tang is just a woman, not the emperor. However, I will try my best to plead with the emperor. But, Heng'er, you have to understand that at the beginning
Regarding Concubine De and Imperial Doctor Zheng, I also begged the Emperor for mercy, but the Emperor still wanted their lives. In fact, the Emperor still wanted their lives.
No one is at fault. It’s just that you came to the wrong place and were killed by the system. If the emperor ignores the punishment of crimes, it will give other people the opportunity to grow their criminal wings. But don’t worry too much. Concubine De’s crime is to let others
It is a serious crime that brings shame to the royal family. Unlike you, the emperor will not take your lives."
Concubine Xian said sadly: "The king's heart is unpredictable. If you don't punish him severely, how can you serve as a warning to others? If something happens to Heng'er, how should I explain it to my parents in Quanxia?"

In the evening, Concubine Xian and Heng'er were put into prison.
Tang Lin went to the Imperial Study Room and saw a group of people waiting at the door. She stepped forward and asked, "Is the Emperor inside?"
An Lin replied: "Here he is!"
Tang Lin was about to open the door and go in, but was stopped by Yishuang, "Miss Tang, the emperor has learned that Heng'er is a fake eunuch, and has taken Concubine Xian and Heng'er into custody. They will be interrogated in person at a later date. Suddenly something like this happened in the harem.
, The Emperor can't calm down for a while, no, he hasn't called anyone in for a long time. At this juncture, Yishuang is afraid that Miss Tang will suffer from the Emperor..."
Tang Lin interrupted her, "We have to solve the problem. Delaying it will only waste time." After saying that, she opened the door and walked into the imperial study.
Yushengjun was approving the memorial in his room, looking calm.
Tang Lin took a few steps forward, and she couldn't bear to break the scene where the Royal Saint was calmly approving the memorial, for fear of disturbing this beautiful and peaceful scene, but she still called out softly: "Your Majesty!"
Yu Shengjun wrote something on the memorial, his eyes focused on the tip of the pen, "You have a weakness, that is, you feel compassion when you are pitied and hateful. I want to cut off this weakness of yours. As long as this
Once your weakness is gone, you will be invincible and will no longer be a threat. So... don't intercede with me on their behalf." 13acv.
After hearing these words, Tang Lin swallowed the words that slipped to her lips. Yu Shengjun was right, there must be something hateful about poor people, just sympathize with them, don't take those troubles
.However, this weakness has become a haze that I can’t get rid of, and it cannot be broken off easily.
"How does the emperor plan to deal with them?" Asking for mercy at this time would definitely make Yu Shengjun unhappy. Tang Lin simply omitted the previous words and asked directly about the result.
After finishing the last stroke, Yu Shengjun put away the pen and placed it on the inkstone. He closed the fold and put it on the edge of the table. "Everything I did to them is here. Take a look. I will tell you later."
Let An Lin take it and execute it."
Lin was stunned. Tang Lin took the folded book, opened it and looked at it. Instead of breathing a sigh of relief, the breath in her body became deeper. The word "Leng Gong" on the folded book kept appearing in her mind.
Yu Shengjun left the chair, walked down, and touched Tang Lin's shoulder, "I know you are sad, but this is my decision. You will be fine in a few days!"
"But," Tang Lin's voice was filled with tears, "Heng'er is only fourteen or fifteen years old, not yet a minor. If these two siblings are locked up in the harem for their entire lives, how can they get ahead? Especially Heng'er!"
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? If they knew the law and broke the law, this is their fate! What if I can let anyone go and treat the rules as child's play? I have made up my mind and no one can change it, that's it!" After that, Yusheng said
Jun waved his robe and walked out of the imperial study room indifferently.
Tang Lin chased after her, "Your Majesty!"
He chased him to the door and blocked Yu Shengjun's path in front of everyone, "Your Majesty! Heng'er is still underage. We can't just ruin his life like this. He can be sent to a labor camp to reform."
Yu Shengjun leaned close to her ear and said these words word by word, each word piercing Tang Lin's heart, "This is not your previous... country!" After saying that, he walked away.
Tang Lin was like a yellow leaf that suddenly fell from a tree, light and unresponsive. In the end, her eyes were full of mist, "But I am a soldier, how can I turn a blind eye..."

At night, the moon is half-waning.
Pavilion in the back garden of Xuanyu Palace. On the stone table, there is a plate of fruit, a pot of wine, one or two wine glasses, an incense burner, and smoke is lingering.
Next to the stone table, next to the lotus pond, there is a piano table.
The Royal Saint is sitting in front of the piano, dressed in white and lying on the ground, looking at the bright moon and gently playing the piano. The leisurely clear, yet sad and low sound of the piano is circulating in the back garden.
An Lin bowed his waist slightly and stood quietly in a corner of the pavilion, listening to the sad sound of the piano. How could he be in a good mood in such a sad environment?
He quickly walked up to the pavilion and broke the hazy, intoxicating and melancholy atmosphere, "Master, Miss Tang returned to Yongning Palace and has been shutting herself in the room until now. She doesn't eat or drink. What should we do?
Okay? Besides, since you’ve been locked up, there’s been no sound at all. Could you have done something stupid?”
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.
Yu Shengjun sighed deeply, "The matter between Concubine Xian and Heng'er is small, but I can't let Tang Lin weaken. One day, she will be bitten by those who pretend to be innocent. I am going to be hard on her now,
It’s just so that she can live a good life in the future. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t understand what I did, and it doesn’t matter if she hates me.”
Yitang mustered up the courage to say: "Miss Tang has seen countless people. She can clearly distinguish between good and bad people and will not be easily tricked by bad people. Maybe in Miss Tang's eyes, the law should have a tender side."
