The Queen Mother walked gently to me, stretched out her hand to help me up, and said softly: "Meng'er, I have something to ask of the Ai family!"
With most of the doubts in her heart, she looked at the haggard face of the Queen Mother and nodded slightly. The Queen Mother sighed softly and said: "Meng'er, it has been more than 20 years since the Ai family entered the palace at the age of sixteen. The disputes in the harem have continued.
How could the Ai family not understand?"
The Queen Mother looked at me and helped me sit down. I was a little confused. Why did the Queen Mother tell me this?
"The Ai family understands that you were framed, but... Mo Zhaoyi committed suicide without any explanation. Now there is no clue and no way to investigate!" The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed again. She had already heard about Mo Zhaoyi's matter.
Yaoer mentioned, since she harmed me, why did she want to commit suicide? Could it be...
"Meng'er, all the ministers in the court now unanimously want the emperor to punish you, but... my silly prince would rather offend the officials than punish you! The situation in the court is tense now, Meng'er...
…”
"The Queen Mother..." Looking at the Queen Mother, I seemed to understand her purpose. The Queen Mother gently reached out and fiddled with my hair, and whispered: "The Aijia know that they have wronged Meng'er, but as the Queen Mother, how can the Aijia
Watching the Yingying Dynasty’s century-old foundation be destroyed in one fell swoop!?”
"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept any punishment!" Will I feel better if I do this? Will I be liberated if I do this?
"Meng'er, the emperor will definitely not punish you, so the Aijia would like to ask Meng'er for something!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"The Ai family is wondering, can Meng'er leave the palace?"
I was shocked, has this result finally come? Why is there no joy in my heart, but a trace of sadness, that familiar figure comes to my mind, I am willing to accept any punishment, but this... is more uncomfortable than letting me die.
, didn’t I promise him that I would never leave him again?
The Queen Mother looked at me eagerly, her eyes full of hope. For a moment, she didn't know how to say anything, asking me to leave him. This is not the result I want. I would rather be under house arrest in Fengxia Palace forever, at least I can be away from him.
Closer.
"Queen Mother, Meng'er is willing to accept any punishment, but... Meng'er doesn't want to escape this guilt." She spoke softly. This was indeed her own voice. Do you want to leave the palace in such a dejected manner and live with guilt for the rest of your life?
Why don't you let me die like this and be done with it?
There was a hint of astonishment in the Queen Mother's eyes, and I couldn't bear to disappoint her, "Meng'er can go and plead guilty in person!" Even if she is punished, it's fine, but don't let her choose this way, it's not her wish to escape like this!
"Meng'er, the emperor will not agree!" I bit my lip tightly, how could I not know? He would definitely not be willing, he is such a stubborn person. The Queen Mother stood up gently, but she didn't want to think about it in the next second.
I fell to my knees with a "plop". I was shocked and hurriedly stood up to help, but the Queen Mother grabbed my wrist and said, "Meng'er, the Ai family is begging you!"
The Queen Mother held my hand tightly, with tears streaming down her face. How could I bear to see my mother kneeling on the ground, begging like this? But she couldn't help her up, and tears rolled down her eyes. She fell to the ground, and the Queen Mother held her tightly.
He held my hand and said with choked sobs: "The Aijia is not asking you in the name of the Queen Mother. The Aijia is begging you as a mother. The Aijia does not want to see their children bear a lifetime of infamy for the sake of their love.
! Meng'er, how many people are looking at the throne with eager eyes! If the emperor gives up the throne for you, he will definitely become a sinner for the ages!"
Will he really give up the throne for me? But how can he survive after giving up the throne? Who would leave an emperor to threaten him? If he really gives up the throne, what will happen? Even if he can escape intact
Retreat, how can I bear to see him being reviled by everyone? The world is so big, where can we hide?
"You have pity on me, a mother! Have pity on all the people in the world!" The Queen Mother said that she was so sad that she had already burst into tears. I stood up gently and wanted to help the Queen Mother up, but I didn't want to be hugged by her.
He knocked his feet off and begged: "Aijia, please, please let my son go! Aijia, please... just let him go..."
"Okay..." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, as if he heard the sound of his own heartbreak. How should I recover from this full sadness? I can't watch him pay so much for me. He is born with
The emperor's order, but I selfishly want to take him as my own. What he should pretend to be is not me, but thousands of people, right? He has such a responsibility, how can I hold him back?
?
Gently lifting up the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was still crying, "The Aijia knows that I have wronged you! But the Aijia also had no choice but to do this..."
With a slight smile, she said, "Queen Mother, I understand everything!"
The Queen Mother gently held me in her arms and said softly: "The Ai family really did not misjudge you! If it were not forced by the situation, the Ai family believes that you will definitely be a mother to the world!"
"The Queen Mother... I'm sorry to disappoint you!" I leaned on the Queen Mother's shoulder, tears falling down. After all, we were destined to be together, and from now on I can only miss him secretly with my heart full of guilt... Mom, Meng'er is very brave, right?
?Didn’t you disappoint?
"Queen Mother, can I call you mother?" This is the first time and the last time. I still have to thank God for allowing me to meet my mother again and call her one more time. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to fulfill my filial piety.
Already...
I felt the Queen Mother nodded slightly and said tremblingly: "Mother...Mother..." I heard the Queen Mother crying in a low voice, but I gently closed my eyes, enjoying this last family affection and smiling with satisfaction.
Already...

He walked slowly to the entrance of Fengxia Palace. In the past few days, he had been coming here every day, but he couldn't get in... What should he do? Take her away? But the guards were so tight, what could he do?
How can we take her out? I have no choice but to wander back and forth here every day...
"Your Majesty?" A clear female voice came from behind, and Jing was shocked. Being caught wandering around here was not a good thing. She turned around slightly, and saw Concubine Lande standing behind her with a smile on her face. She felt not only
Relaxed a little...
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Jing asked softly, but saw Concubine Lande looking around, then taking a few steps forward, leaning forward slightly, and said softly: "I have something to discuss with the prince, it's about sister Meng'er.
!Your Majesty, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
When Jing heard it was about Mengmeng, she was a little confused, but she still nodded, and followed Concubine Lan into a forest. As soon as she stood still, Concubine Lan said anxiously: "Sister Meng'er
I was framed and was about to be punished, so I took the liberty to come to the prince to discuss it. I wonder if the prince has any plan to save sister Meng'er?"
Looking at the anxious look on Concubine Lan's face, it didn't seem to be fake. Not only did he relax his guard, but when it came to strategies, he was at his wits' end. The situation was tense now, and all the officials in the court kept forcing the emperor. Although the emperor was blocking
She can win for a while, but she can't stop her for the rest of her life. She is always in danger!
Thinking of this, Jing couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She shook her head helplessly. Lan Fei chuckled and said, "I have a plan here!"
