Hongzhan nodded, ordered them to step back a dozen steps, and then said: "Okay, what can you say? Did the Queen send you here?"
Xiaohezi said quickly: "Brother Six, you are the only one who can save the Queen. You must not sit idly by."
Shang Rong said from the side: "Yes, Sixth Brother, if even you refuse, the Queen will really be executed by the Emperor."
Hongzhan frowned and said: "What are you two talking about, what is the execution? Isn't Huang Eniang already in the cold palace? Why did Huang Ama execute him for no reason?"
Xiaohezi hurriedly told what had just happened, but the reason why Yinzhen wanted to execute Nala was vague. He only said that the emperor somehow blamed Nala for the attack on Hongzhou.
However, Hongzhan didn't think much about this issue because his mind was now completely attracted by the word "Lingchi".
He said in disbelief: "Huang Ama really said that, and wanted to punish Huang's mother to Ling Chi?"
"How dare I lie to you? It's absolutely true. Otherwise, the empress wouldn't have let the slaves come to you at this time. No one in the palace can save her except you. I beg Sixth Brother for mercy. I must do it."
Save the empress." With that said, Xiao Hezi and Shang Rong knelt down one after another.
Hongzhan had been quite dissatisfied with Yinzhen's refusal to release the Liu family. Now that he heard about it, he felt even more unhappy. He blurted out: "No matter what, Huang Eniang is still Huang Ama's legitimate wife, how can he
You can order execution, and it will be torture like Lingchi."
"That's the truth, but the emperor couldn't listen to the advice. If something hadn't happened later and made the emperor leave in a hurry, I'm afraid the empress would have been... being tortured." At this point, he begged: "Sixth Brother
, please save my empress, I beg you."
Hongzhan was about to speak when he saw Dai Jia from a distance and said quickly: "Okay, I know about this. I will go and tell Huang Ama that you should step back first, otherwise the concubine Cheng will see you."
It will be troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hezi and Shang Rong hurriedly lowered their heads and left, not daring to stay for a moment, but even so, Dai Jiashi still saw a little bit, walked up to Hongzhan and said: "Who were you talking to just now?
"
"They're just two minions. They've already left." Faced with Hongzhan's perfunctory response, Dai Jiashi said coldly, "What do those two minions want from you?"
"They..." Hongzhan wrung his fingers and said, "They originally came to see the empress, but they left after learning that the empress was not here without saying anything."
Dai Jiashi said coldly: "Really? But why do I think that when they see me, they will be like a mouse seeing a cat? They are afraid that they will be too slow to hide."
Hongzhan laughed a few times and didn't know how to answer. As for Dai Jia, after looking at him, he said: "You come in with me, I have something to tell you."
After entering the main hall, Dai Jia held Wanxia's hand and sat down and said: "Hongzhan, please answer me honestly. Is the person who is looking for you tonight the same person who met you a few days ago?"
Hongzhan shook his hands and whispered: "I don't understand what you mean."
Dai Jia took the tea cup handed by the palace attendant, nodded and said: "Okay, I will ask you another question, who instigated you to see Mrs. Liu?"
"There was no instigation. It was me who missed E Niang, so..." Hong Zhan was just halfway through his words when Dai Jia Shi put the tea cup in his hand on the table, "Hong Zhan, why don't you come here?"
I have been here for four years, and I have never treated you badly, nor have I taught you how to be a good person.
The truth is, because you carry the expectations of the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine, and Concubine Jin. Each of them wishes you well, but I never remember that I taught you to tell lies with your eyes open and to use lies to excuse you.
My dear, where did you learn all this?"
This was the first time that Hongzhan saw Dai Jiashi speak so harshly, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, but he still said bravely: "I don't understand what the empress means."
"You know everything in your heart, but you just refuse to tell me." Dai Jia took a breath and said, "Over the years, whenever there is something good in Jingren Palace, I am the first to think of you, but what about you?
You've been here for so long and you haven't even called me aunt. Well, I won't argue with you. But today, you suddenly ran to the Yangxin Hall to say those words to the emperor. Do you know that you almost killed me by doing this?
?”
Hongzhan said anxiously: "I didn't want to harm you, and I didn't know things would turn out like this."
Dai Jiashi stared at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed heavily, "If you had known that this would happen, wouldn't you have asked the emperor? No, Hongzhan, I know you very well. As long as it is something you believe in, you will
You will do it regardless of the consequences. But everything you did today really chilled my heart."
"I'm sorry, empress, I didn't mean to harm you, I know how you treat me..."
Before he finished speaking, Dai Jiashi had already shaken his head and said: "Concubine Jin treats you well, but what is the result? Sometimes I wonder if you have to make me the same as Concubine Jin to be happy."
"No, I have never thought about it this way, Concubine Jin..." Hongzhan suddenly didn't know what to say. Now he already knew that the Guarjia family's madness was related to the Liu family and the Nala family.
But things have already happened, what else can he do besides visiting Gualgia frequently.
"That's all, let's not talk about this anymore." Dai Jia shook her hand tiredly and said: "From now on, I will forget about Xin Zheku and Liu. Stay here well and don't cause any more trouble."
Hongzhan shook his head and said, "No, that's my mother-in-law. I can't forget it, even in this life."
Dai Jiashi's anger that had just subsided rose again because of his words, and she said coldly: "In other words, what happened today will happen a second time, a third time, right?"
Hongzhan lowered his head and said nothing, but his expression already gave Dai Jiashi the answer. Dai Jiashi stroked her aching forehead and said: "Hongzhan, when will you become sensible and understand who is real?"
He's treating you well, but he's taking advantage of you."
Hongzhan met her gaze and said, "Do you want to say that your mother used me to leave Xinzheku?"
Dai Jiashi asked back: "Isn't it true? From the moment you were born, Mrs. Liu has treated you as a chess piece. When you were young, you didn't know what was good or bad, but now that you have grown up, can't you still see clearly?"
Hongzhan lowered his head and stared at his toes. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "But she is my mother after all. She gave me life. I can't ignore her."
"So you are willing to be used as a pawn by her?" Dai Jia said angrily: "You look like this, I really don't know whether to call you filial or stupid. I haven't read many books, but I also know
Foolishness and filial piety are necessary. Do you have to wait until I am imprisoned in the cold palace again because of you, before you understand?"
