If Hongli was disappointed, then Mingyu was desperate. She fell to the ground and cried bitterly. It wasn't until Wei Jingxuan came to her that she raised her tear-stained face, grabbed Wei Jingxuan's hands and said incoherently: "What should I do? I am the queen, I am.
What should we do? Jingxuan, tell me, what should we do?!"
Wei Jingxuan sighed heavily and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, and I have nothing to do. Master, you should just look away."
"No!" Mingyu shouted hysterically: "I can't be demoted to a commoner, let alone go to the cold palace. You must find a way for me to make the emperor change his mind!"
Wei Jingxuan endured the pain in her arm and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, I will help you find a way. Master, please calm down first." After a pause, she said: "The emperor just said that he will not issue the decree to abolish the queen until he returns to the palace.
That is to say,
We still have at least one or two months to think of a solution. I believe we can think of a solution. Besides, most of what the emperor is saying now are just angry words. When his anger subsides, he may forgive you, so don't worry too much.
"
Under Wei Jingxuan's comfort and comfort, Mingyu finally stopped crying and allowed her and Ji You to help her go to the inner hall to rest. After exiting, Ji You whispered: "Auntie, is there really any way to save this matter?"
Wei Jingxuan sneered and said: "Looking at the emperor's appearance, he is really angry. Unless the queen mother or the emperor's concubine pleads for mercy in person, no one can keep her as queen; however, asking the queen mother and the emperor's concubine to plead for her is tantamount to
It’s just a fool’s errand, so… this post-position position is abolished.”
Ji You was startled and said in astonishment: "Auntie, you just..."
Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said: "If I hadn't said that, I'm afraid her hands would have been broken by her. Fucha Mingyu's strength... has been exhausted!"
Ji You was startled by her words and said in a panic: "Auntie, how can you call the master by his first name? This is a big taboo, if the master hears it..."
Wei Jingxuan looked back and said in a cold voice: "So what if you see her? Have you forgotten what the emperor just said? She is no longer the queen."
When she said this, Ji Yu also remembered this matter, but he was still a little uncomfortable with calling her by name. After a while, he remembered something and said quickly: "By the way, Auntie, why didn't you let me know just now?"
I'll pick up the letter and the jade pendant, so maybe it won't end up like this."
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "It's useless. Those two things have already fallen into the eyes of the emperor. No matter how fast you move, it will be useless. As I just said, her strength has been exhausted. If you had picked up the letter just now, I'm afraid that now
Everyone’s head is already on the ground.”
Ji You broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and said quickly: "Thank you, aunt, for the rescue, but... the master has made it like this, what should we do now?"
Wei Jingxuan frowned and said: "The only thing we can do now is to protect ourselves wisely and try not to get involved in the Queen's affairs. As for the other things, let's talk about it later."
Ji You naturally agreed to her words again and again. Let's talk about Hongli's side. After leaving Rongyueju, he immediately hurried to Xishunmen, fearing that he would not be able to find the messenger if he arrived late. Fortunately, the middle-aged man was still waiting.
There, after Hongli asked a few questions, he immediately ordered Liu Hu to take the imperial guards and follow him to the farmer's house.
At the same time, Hong Zhou was looking outside anxiously. A woman came in carrying a bowl and holding up the curtain. Seeing his appearance, she said, "But are you in a hurry?"
Hong Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zhong has been gone for almost a day. Logically speaking, he should have arrived at the palace a long time ago. Why haven't he come back yet?"
"I think it was my first time to go there and I couldn't find the way, so I was delayed for some time. Maybe I'll be back soon. Don't be too anxious." With that said, the woman put the bowl in Hong Zhou's hand.
Said: "I made pumpkin porridge, can you try it and see how it tastes?"
Hong Zhou said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister-in-law Zhong, I have really troubled you these past few days."
The woman smiled and said: "Don't say such things, it's just a matter of making a few bowls of ginger tea and making more rice. It's not a big deal. By the way, you..." She asked curiously: "Are you really the prince? Why are you so good?
Will he fall into the water?"
Because he was delivering the letter, Hong Zhou had told them his identity before, so he had nothing to hide now. He nodded and said: "Yes, I am the prince of the dynasty. I am being inspected by the emperor this time in the south. How could I know that he is staying in the palace?"
Among them, the Heaven and Earth Society rebelled, causing chaos in the palace, and the queen and the imperial concubine were supported by them to the river."
"Did you and your wife fall into the water at that time?" For a woman, both the emperor and the queen are extremely far away from her. Before Hongzhou, the biggest official she had ever seen was Yangzhou Magistrate Chong De.
Everything Hong Zhou said was like a story to her.
Hong Zhou said in surprise: "My wife?"
The woman smiled and said, "Yes, she is the girl who fell into the water with you. Although you didn't tell her, you asked about her condition as soon as you woke up. Who else could you be if you weren't my wife with such concern?"
Hong Zhou's expression dimmed. Once upon a time...Xia Yue did have a chance to become his wife. Unfortunately, at that time, she was ordered by Ying Ge to marry Hong Li.
Hong Zhou shook his head and put away these thoughts and said: "Sister-in-law Zhong really guessed wrong. She is not my wife. Also, please don't say such words again in the future, understand?"
After the woman agreed, Hong Zhou said again: "By the way, how is her condition? Has it improved?"
The woman sighed and said: "Still in the same coma as before. I just brought the pumpkin porridge over, but I can't even take a bite of it. It's really worrying, but there are no good doctors in our small place."
Hong Zhou's heart sank and he said, "I want to see her."
The woman hurriedly said: "You are not feeling well yourself. It is better to rest in bed. I will take care of the girl. Besides, as you said, as long as my family sees the emperor, they will naturally be happy."
I can take you back for treatment."
"I'm fine." With that said, Hong Zhou forcibly sat up from the bed. Seeing that he was so stubborn, the woman had no choice but to help him to the room where Xianyue was.
Since being rescued, Xianyue has been in a fever and coma. Her whole body is extremely hot, and the face towel applied to her forehead often becomes warm in a short time. In these days, except for a few sips of water, she has never eaten anything, and her cheeks are so hot.
So thin that I was sunken.
The woman wrung her handkerchief again and said, "I hope I can ask a doctor to see it today, otherwise if it continues like this, people will be burned out. Oh, it's so pitiful."
