In the afternoon, Cui Yanlin's wife Qu'er appeared at Ximen.
Ziyuan handed Hongfu's relics to her: "Madam, you don't have to worry too much about Mr. Cui. Our empress said that she will try her best to rescue Mr. Cui."
Qu'er knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Sister, please thank your mother-in-law for me."
Ziyuan helped Qu'er up: "Master Cui and Concubine Yun are innocent, so the emperor will definitely give them justice. By the way, madam, this is Hong Fu's relic. Take a good look at it."
Qu'er browsed through it briefly and saw a few pieces of rice paper.
What was written on the rice paper was Hong Fu's name. The first line of words was very elegant, but the words that followed were a bit sloppy.
It can be seen that someone must have told Hongfu to write her name.
Qu'er relaxed and said, "When I look at this handwriting, I feel it is a bit familiar. It seems to be very similar to my lady's handwriting."
Ziyuan leaned over and took a few glances, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her heart, and then she asked: "Who is your young lady?"
Qu'er said softly: "I used to be an errand in the Wei Mansion. At that time, I served Miss Qiu Jin for a period of time, and I am somewhat familiar with her handwriting. However, everyone in the Wei Mansion was copied and executed. I must have read it wrong."
What Bai Qiqian said that day flashed through Ziyuan's mind, and she immediately took out the rice paper: "Madam, this rice paper is very important to us, I'll take it first."
Qu'er nodded repeatedly: "Oh, okay."
Ziyuan remembered what Bai Qiqian told her, and told Qu'er: "Madam, Hong Fu was very resentful when he died, so it is better to bury him early."
Write down all the songs one by one, and then go back with Lin Bo.
If Su Wanliang is really Qiu Jin, then her existence itself is a mistake.
Ziyuan's eyes were shining, and she hurried back to tell Bai Qiqian about the incident: "Empress, as long as we hand this piece of rice paper to the emperor, all the truth will come to light."
Bai Qiqian looked at her: "Ziyuan, you think too simply. It's impossible to move her down with just a piece of rice paper."
Ziyuan was a little impatient: "But now only if we move her down can we blame everything on her, saying that she framed Concubine Yun and wanted to kill Concubine Yun."
Bai Qiqian stared at the rice paper and said calmly: "This rice paper can only let us know that she is Qiu Jin, but it cannot convince Ye Liyuan. When the time comes, if Su Wanliang bites back and says that we imitated Qiu Jin,
Jin’s handwriting, and then framed her, what should we do?”
Ziyuan patted her head in annoyance: "I was too reckless."
Bai Qiqian handed the rice paper to Ziyuan: "Ziyuan, we need to wait now."
Ziyuan said quietly: "Your Majesty, we have enough time to wait, but Concubine Yun does not have time to wait."
Yes, Concubine Yun, who is currently imprisoned in Tianlao, simply cannot afford to wait.
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves outside began to fall again. Bai Qiqian stared straight at the scenery outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ziyuan followed the vague gaze and looked out the window.
There is nothing except rows of big trees outside the window.
Ziyuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Empress, what are you looking at?"
Bai Qiqian said lightly: "It will be autumn again soon. Time flies so fast that it makes me a little scared. I still remember the scene when Ye Liyuan married Lin Huanger, and I still remember that day I jumped into
Hanlian Pond. The water in the early spring is really cold."
Ziyuan also whispered: "I still remember that the empress suddenly opened her eyes that day, startling me and Yu Jin."
Bai Qiqian laughed softly: "Later, after many ups and downs in the palace, I finally became attached to this palace. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, I fell into a cliff. But I accidentally went to the Split Zhang Kingdom, where
I’ve lived here for half a year and it’s warmer over there than here.”
Ziyuan raised her eyes: "Mother, do you miss that place?"
Bai Qiqian smiled foolishly and said, "Besides missing Sili, there is nothing else worth thinking about."
Ziyuan's eyes were a little dazed for a moment. She remembered that day when she took Bai Qiqian's letter to find that man.
In her impression, she thought that businessmen were all fat and white, with a big belly and shining eyes. When she saw Nangong Chuci, she couldn't help but be stunned. It turns out that businessmen can also be gentle.
Like jade.
Bai Qiqian raised her eyes again: "When I came here, it was already summer. When I came to Anning City, it was still spring when everything revives."
Ziyuan nodded: "It's a little colder here than there."
Bai Qi smiled slightly: "But now in the blink of an eye, it's the end of summer and the beginning of autumn again, and time flies by very quickly."
Today, Bai Qiqian's thoughts were a little strange, and Ziyuan couldn't help but ask: "Empress, what happened to you today?"
Bai Qiqian came back to her senses and gave Ziyuan a comforting look: "I'm just feeling a little emotional."
I don't know why, but for no reason, I feel an inexplicable sadness in my heart.
Bai Qiqian closed her eyes and calmed her thoughts. She knew that she could not give up. She wanted to rescue Yun Ran, win back Ye Liyuan's favor, and reveal Su Wanliang's true face in front of Ye Liyuan.
Su Wanliang, haha, Qiu Jin, no wonder you know us so well.
The more beautiful you are now, the more miserable you will be when you die.
The smile on Bai Qiqian's lips was gentle and cruel, and she whispered in Ziyuan's ear.
Ziyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, as if it was difficult to accept what she just heard. After a long while, she came to her senses and nodded.
Bai Qiqian closed her eyes and rested for a moment: "Ziyuan, do as I say, and I'll beg him."
The last time I begged him, it didn't work.
This time, I don’t know what the outcome will be.
However, she wanted to make a bet on Ye Liyuan's intolerance for her. Bai Qiqian touched her belly and said softly: "Bai Yi, let's go together and beg Father to let Concubine Yun go.
"
Bai Qiqian went to Ye Liyuan's palace alone.
When Eunuch Zhang saw her, he ran over quickly and asked with concern: "Concubine Yao, why did you come here today?"
Bai Qiqian smiled softly, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile: "I'm here to beg the emperor to let Concubine Yun go."
Eunuch Zhang comforted him and said: "Concubine Yao, you have already tried it last time. Your Majesty... He didn't even let you take a look at Concubine Yun... How could he agree to let you go? You still
go back."
Bai Qiqian was determined: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please tell me that I will beg him together with the baby in my belly."
After saying that, you knelt down in front of the door.
Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but sigh and went in to announce: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yao is kneeling outside the door again, begging the Emperor to let Concubine Yun go."
Ye Liyuan slammed the table: "What kind of trouble is she going to make?"
Eunuch Zhang sighed and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, from what I see, Concubine Yao is determined this time."
Ye Liyuan glanced at Eunuch Zhang coldly and remained silent.
Knowing that offending Ye Liyuan would be a dead end, Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but say one more thing: "Your Majesty, Princess Fuyao is a kind person. Your Majesty, if you hurt her, don't regret it in the future."
Ye Liyuan immediately yelled: "Bold!"
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowering his head fearfully, waiting for Ye Liyuan to say goodbye.
After a long time, Ye Liyuan asked: "When the epidemic first broke out, Princess Fuyao was already dead. Why do you think she is Fuyao?"
Ye Ruochen, Ziyuan, Huanwan...
Now, even the old slaves in the palace think she is Fuyao. Is she really Fuyao and his Qianqian?
Eunuch Zhang said in a low voice: "I have seen and heard too much about things in the palace. People who die may not really be dead. It doesn't matter whether she was the previous princess of Fuyao or was re-canonized later.
Or maybe she is Princess Fuyao who came from the Split Zhang Kingdom. However, the feeling she gives to the old slave has never changed."
Ye Liyuan waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you go down."
Through the window lattice, he could see that thin and indifferent figure, kneeling straight on the ground.
Thinking of that night, he punished her.
She also knelt on the ground all night, her spine always straight.
Scenes of memories about her revived in my mind.
Ye Liyuan felt inexplicably depressed. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
Eunuch Zhang walked to Bai Qiqian's side, knelt down, and said in a somewhat pleading tone: "Concubine Yao, please stop torturing yourself like this. Your Majesty will not see you, so you should go back."
Bai Qiqian stroked her belly and laughed softly, her smile bitter and lonely: "But if I don't beg him, Concubine Yun will die."
Eunuch Zhang said cruelly: "Concubine Yao, please sweep the snow in front of your door and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles. Why are you doing this?"
Bai Qiqian raised her eyes: "Eunuch Zhang, why do you bother to persuade me?"
Eunuch Zhang was stunned. Yes, what was his position in trying to comfort her?
He is just a chamberlain serving the emperor, but he has not seen all the joys and sorrows in the palace with cold eyes. His heart has long been as hard as a stone.
Seeing him in a daze, Bai Qiqian said in a low voice: "Eunuch Zhang, we are blessed with misfortune and misfortune lies with us. There is no guarantee that one day we will fall from our high positions. At that time, I also hoped that we could
There is someone who helps me in difficult times. Even if it may not be of much help, the warmth is enough to accompany me through all the dark days."
Eunuch Zhang responded in a low voice: "Concubine Yao, I understand that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal when the time is right."
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although Eunuch Zhang is favored by the emperor now, there is no guarantee that he will not be squeezed out by others in the future.
If that time comes, no one is willing to stand up and plead for him, which will be quite heartbreaking.
Eunuch Zhang stood up and stopped comforting Bai Qiqian.
Bai Qiqian smiled gratefully at him. She knew that Eunuch Zhang understood the meaning of her words.
