Yan Changzai said eagerly: "My lord, please stay." After saying that, she took off the twisted gold bracelet from her wrist, endured the heartache and stuffed it into Si Xi's hand, "Please be kind, my lord, and tell me why the emperor suddenly wanted to
Give such a decree?"
Si Xi sighed softly and put the bracelet on the table. Just when Yan Chang Zai was at a loss because of his rejection, Si Xi said: "Yan Chang Zai might as well think carefully about what happened that day when he cleared the snow.
Having said this, I will retire."
After Si Xi left, Yan Changzai carefully sorted out the events of the day of clearing the snow in his mind. When he thought of something, he suddenly shuddered and blurted out: "I understand, it must be that bitch Concubine Qian."
People are sowing discord in front of the emperor, so the emperor issued such a decree, you bitch, you are a despicable and shameless bitch!"
Yan Changzai was so filled with hatred that he smashed everything in the room to pieces. Still unfazed, he threw the soft pillows and brocade quilts to the ground, frightening the palace officials to the point where they did not dare to say anything.
They all buried their heads low for fear of getting into trouble.
After doing this until she was exhausted, Yan Chang Zai just sat on the edge of the bed angrily, thinking about what to do. Yinzhen made an order, and she could never disobey it, but sweeping away the snow for ten days would literally cost her life.
, she couldn’t afford to lose that person, and the most important thing was that she really couldn’t swallow this breath!
Go and ask Yinzhen? She rejected this idea not long after it appeared. Mrs. Liu had already explained it in front of Yinzhen. Even if she tried to say it again, Yinzhen might not believe it. After thinking about it, she still could only
Going to seek concubine Xi's favor, after all, it had something to do with her, and she couldn't just stay out of it.
Thinking of this, Yan Chang couldn't sit still for a moment. Regardless of the mess on the ground, he said to the shrinking palace servants: "Help me go to Chengqian Palace."
The palace man whispered: "Master, are you going over now? I'm afraid that the imperial concubine has already rested at this time, and it's still snowing outside, which may aggravate the master's condition."
Yan Changzai glared at her and said, "I don't want to go there either, but if I don't go now, I will have to sweep the snow tomorrow. Will you sweep it for me or something?"
The palace attendant was so reprimanded by her that she did not dare to say anything, so she quickly helped her all the way to Chengqian Palace. Even though she was wearing a big cloak and holding an umbrella, Yan Changzai still felt cold and shivering all over. After finally arriving at Chengqian Palace,
I waited outside for a while before going in.
When Yan Chang came in, Shuixiu was holding a lamp in the hall. Ling Ruo saw her coming in and said with a warm smile: "Why did Yan Chang come here on this snowy night? It's dark and the road is slippery, so I'm not afraid of falling."
Yan Chang said with a fearful look on his face: "I'm fine, but I disturbed my wife's rest. I really deserve death!"
Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said: "I haven't rested yet, so I don't want to disturb you, but if Yan Chang comes over at this time, he must have something to tell me, right?"
At this time, An'er brought the tea, but Yan Changzai didn't even take it. He knelt down next to the chair, which shocked An'er so much that he almost poured the tea on the floor.
"Your Majesty, I am begging you this time out of necessity. Please make the decision for me, otherwise I am afraid my life will be in danger this time."
Ling Ruo was not as surprised as An'er. As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. From the moment Yan Changzai stepped into the Chengqian Palace, she knew something must have happened, and said: "Why is it so serious? What's the matter?"
Yan Chang said when you got up, stop kneeling."
Yan Chang said nothing and refused to get up. He knelt on the cold and hard gold bricks and told Yinzhen's will. Then he cried and said: "Mother, I've been sweeping the snow for a day and I'm already suffering from the cold."
, I have been taking medicine. If this lasts for ten days, there will be no life left. Apart from the empress, I don’t know who else to turn to. I ask the empress to make the decision for me."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo finally showed a hint of shock. How could Yinzhen know about this and issue such a decree? Is it possible...
Thinking of this, Ling Ruo glanced sideways and said, "Yang Hai, go and find out where the emperor is resting tonight."
"Hey!" After Yang Hai retreated, Ling Ruo motioned to An'er to help Yan Changzai, "Just sit down. Since I know about this matter, I will give you an answer no matter what."
"Thank you, Madam." Seeing Ling Ruo say this, Yan Changzai was more than convinced. It seemed that he was right to come today.
Not long after, Yang Hai brushed the snowflakes off his body and walked in, lowering his hands and saying: "Master, the emperor is resting in the Yangxin Palace today, and there are no concubines to sleep with him. However, before that, the emperor went to Yongshou Palace to visit Concubine Qian.
Your Majesty, I think you know about Concubine Qian’s injured foot.”
Before Ling Ruo could speak, Yan Changzai couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qian must have felt that Concubine deliberately hurt her foot that day, so she complained about Concubine in front of the Emperor, which made Emperor Long Yan furious.
My concubine...my concubine is really unjustly accused and died!" After saying this, Yan Chang started to cry half-truthfully.
Ling Ruo didn't expect that Ms. Liu would dare to make trouble after being warned like that by herself. However, Ms. Liu should also know in her heart that she was not qualified to go against him, so she vented her anger on Yan Changzai.
If she was honest, Ling Ruo didn't sympathize with Yan Changzai. This Yan Changzai deserved his punishment. If she hadn't punished Xiao Wangzi and the others harshly, how could Mrs. Liu have found the opportunity?
Provocation; and then, if she hadn't lost her composure and deliberately caused Mr. Liu to fall, today's incident would not have happened.
Yan Changzai cried for a long time. Seeing that Ling Ruo remained silent, he felt uneasy. He quickly knelt down again and said in a sob voice: "My queen, if you don't save me, I will really die. Please do it in front of the emperor."
I beg you, please, to spare me from clearing snow for these ten days."
Ling Ruo stood up and helped her up personally and said: "I certainly have this plan, but the emperor is angry now, so even if I try to persuade him, he may not be able to listen."
"Then... what should we do?" Upon hearing this, Yan Changzai suddenly panicked and said.
"It's getting late now, so I can't disturb the emperor. Let's wait until tomorrow to discuss everything. In short, I will try my best to intercede for Chang Zai in front of the emperor."
This promise was obviously not what Yan Changzai expected, but she was not a person who didn't know how to look at people's eyes. She knew that she couldn't say any more at this time, so she said with an aggrieved face: "Then I'll have you, Mrs. Lao." After a pause,
She glanced at Ling Ruo and said tentatively: "The matter of clearing the snow tomorrow..."
Ling Ruo thought about it and said, "Let's wait until I meet the emperor before we talk. The emperor has not stipulated when you must start."
