After a long time, Tang Jiu let go of Cai Ling's hand, hugged his head and said dejectedly: "Then what should I do? I don't want to die, I...I..." He didn't know how to continue, he just felt that his head was in a mess and he couldn't think at all.
Find a way.
"At this point, there is only one way left." A Luo's words made the two people's eyes light up, and they asked in unison: "Quickly tell me, what way?"
A Luo stared at Cai Ling and said: "Given the current situation, there is only one person who can save you, and that is the emperor."
"Your Majesty, yes, Your Majesty, I want to go find the Emperor." Cai Ling said as she was about to walk out. A Luo quickly stopped her and said, "It's useless for you to go like this now, not to mention whether the Emperor will see you.
Even if I meet you, I may not be willing to help you."
Cai Ling said blankly: "What should we do then, sister, you should speak clearly."
A Luo bit his finger and said, "Don't argue. Let me think about it carefully. This matter is related to the safety of you and Tang Jiu. You must not be careless."
Cai Ling and Tang Jiu nodded repeatedly, holding back the anxiety and worry in their hearts, waiting for A Luo to make up his mind. They waited until the sun set before A Luo spoke, pointed at Cai Ling and said: "These days, every time after dinner, the emperor
, I will serve tea to the Yangxin Hall, and today, you will serve tea there."
"Me?" Cai Ling pointed at herself in astonishment and said, "I'm not from the imperial tea room, so how can I be qualified to serve tea to the emperor?"
"Of course it's not fair and aboveboard. What I mean is that you put on my clothes and quietly go to the Yangxin Palace. As long as you can see the emperor, half the battle will be done."
Cai Ling nodded and said, "Then shall I tell the emperor the truth?"
"No, you can't tell the truth." A'luo's answer made the two of them extremely puzzled. Tang Jiu said: "If you don't tell the truth, how can Cai Ling be fine?"
A Luo ignored his words, took Cai Ling's hand and said, "Listen carefully. After meeting the emperor, don't say it was Ying'er who pushed her. Just say it's because of the fatigue of the past few days, which makes you a little confused."
I was confused and didn't know what was going on, so I fell forward, causing so many troubles."
"This..." Cai Ling said hesitantly: "Is this okay? In fact, wouldn't it be better to tell the truth directly?"
"You and I are sisters, and I will believe whatever you say, but the emperor is different. He only has a one-time relationship with you. Even if the impression at first sight is good, it is only one-time. However, the pure concubine has been with you for many years, and is the emperor's wife."
After giving birth to the third elder brother, who do you think the emperor will believe if we really need to confront him? Not to mention that there are so many so-called witnesses for pure concubines, but you...I'm sorry, there are none."
A Luo's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the glimmer of hope that Cai Ling had just ignited. She said discouragedly: "Does that mean that the emperor won't believe anything I say?"
"That's why I taught you what you said just now. Remember, don't try to shift the responsibility to anyone, and under this premise, try to be as pitiful as possible. In this way, the emperor may forgive you."
Cai Ling thought for a while and said: "Sister, is there any better way? I'm worried that if I take the responsibility on myself, it will be counterproductive."
"If you believe in me, sister, just do as I say. I promise, there will be no better words than this." Seeing that Cai Ling was still doubtful, A Luo said, "You should know that Xian in the past
What is the origin of the concubine, that is, Nala who is now in the cold palace."
Cai Ling nodded and said: "I know that her aunt is the late emperor's deposed queen, but what does this have to do with my affairs?"
"Nala's family background can be said to be worse than any other mistress in the palace, because her family is opposed to the emperor and the queen mother. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a mortal enemy. Moreover, she can become the emperor's confidant.
The methods used were also extremely dishonorable. At first, the emperor was disgusted with her. They got married for a long time but never consummated the marriage; but
Later, she showed more pity to her and even made her his concubine after careful consideration. Why, it was because she was used to figuring out the emperor's temperament and knew when to advance and when to retreat. It could even be said that no one knew the emperor better than her.
Her temperament, and I have been with her for many years and have some understanding of the Emperor’s temperament, so I can’t be wrong.”
Cai Ling hesitated for a moment, then finally made up her mind, nodded and said: "Okay, I will do as my sister said. I hope God will bless me to pass this test."
A Luo chuckled and said: "That's right. If you have a chance, please ask the emperor to see if you can serve him. In this way, even if the pure concubine wants to embarrass you, she will not find a chance. Besides... this will not be good for you.
It’s also good for you, do you understand what I mean?”
Cai Ling was startled for a moment, then she came to her senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand, thank you sister for reminding me."
Seeing that they were talking non-stop, Tang Jiu couldn't help but interject: "What about me? What should I do? How should I explain to Chunbi? Cai Ling, you can't ignore me. No matter what, it's me."
Helped you escape."
Cai Ling snorted and said, "But you wanted to take me back just now!"
Tang Jiu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Isn't there nothing I can do? In fact, I don't want to do this in my heart."
Cai Ling didn't say anything, and A Luo smoothed things over by saying, "It's pointless to pursue these matters now, and it will only hurt each other's feelings. Besides, the three of us are now grasshoppers tied to a rope. We are all prosperous, and we are all harmed." She said.
He paused for a moment and said: "Tang Jiu, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Yikun Palace for the time being, so you have to endure it for a while longer."
Tang Jiu frowned and said, "Patience is not a problem, I'm just afraid that the pure concubine will take the opportunity to take my life."
A Luo bit his lip and said: "Let Cai Ling try to mention you before the emperor and let the emperor know who you are. In this way, the pure concubines will not be able to touch you easily. If Cai Ling can be lucky enough to be with the emperor, then she
Then I can transfer you to my side to serve you, and you can truly get rid of the control and threat of pure concubines. To put it clearly, your life and death, your blessings and misfortunes, all depend on Cai Ling."
"I know." After Tang Jiu nodded, he suddenly remembered something and said in shock: "No, I can guess that Cai Ling is here, and Chun Bin can also guess, do you think she will send someone?"
come over?"
As if to confirm Tang Jiu's words, there were chaotic footsteps outside, and then someone called the door. Tang Jiu heard the voice and said nervously: "It's people from Yikun Palace. They are indeed here."
"You are really a crow's mouth!" A Luo scolded him and nervously thought about the countermeasures.
The two palace men knocked for a long time before someone opened the door. After seeing clearly that it was Tang Jiu, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You are here too. It seems that Cai Ling is here too."
Tang Jiu shook his head and said: "I also thought Cai Ling was here, so I came here to look for her, but I didn't see Cai Ling. I was about to leave, so you guys came here. Okay, let's go."
