"Your Majesty." Ling Ruo stared at him and said, "I know you are in trouble, but Sister Wen is really pitiful. After the Emperor left just now, she knelt down and kept begging me, which made me feel really sad to see you."
Yinzhen let go of Ling Ruo's hand with some annoyance and said: "I know she is pitiful. Hanyan is also my daughter. How can I not love her? There is really nothing I can do about it. Do you know that for this matter?
, I haven’t had a good sleep for several nights, and every time I close my eyes, I just cry."
"Can't we choose another eldest daughter to marry the princess away from home?" Ling Ruo knew that her idea was selfish, but she couldn't think of anything better. But Yinzhen's next words broke her last hope.
.
"Geldan wants my biological daughter by name. If he pretends to be a princess and deceives her, I'm afraid he will find an excuse to start a war. I can't take this risk."
"So, is there really no other way?" Ling Ruo asked with a cold voice.
Yinzhen stared into her eyes and said slowly: "Yes, Han Yan must marry far away and have a close relationship. No matter how unwilling Concubine Hui is, she has to accept this fact."
After looking at him for a long time, Ling Ruo took a deep breath, turned away her gaze and lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand, I will go and persuade Hui Concubine."
When she told Wen Ruyan this sentence with heavy steps, Wen Ruyan collapsed on the ground and couldn't help himself for a long time. Only tears fell one after another, turning into desolate and silent flowers.
Hanyan happened to hear these words. Faced with the fate of her own marriage, she and Wen Ruyan hugged each other and cried, and in their desperate cries, she kept saying that she did not want to get married.
That night, Wen Ruyan went to the Yangxin Hall and knelt down, begging Yinzhen to take back her order. This was her last chance. Once tonight passed and the imperial edict was passed down, there would really be no chance of reversal.
Ling Ruo and Guarjia, who learned the news later, have been staying with Wen Ruyan, but no matter how they tried to persuade them, Wen Ruyan refused to get up, and as for Yinzhen, she never paid attention to him.
"Sister, please listen to my advice, stop being stubborn and get up." Guarjia said earnestly, "Even my sister can't ask the emperor to change his mind, so what's the point of kneeling like this? On the contrary,
It bores the Emperor."
Wen Ruyan held on to her shaky body and said stubbornly: "I can't control so much anymore. I only want Han Yan and my daughter."
"Sister, why are you so stubborn? Even if you kneel and die here tonight, the Emperor will not change his mind." Ling Ruo was so anxious that she almost shed tears.
Wen Ruyan smiled sadly, "It's just right to kneel down and die. I don't need to be sad every day because of Han Yan's distant marriage."
"You...sigh." The words she wanted to persuade turned into a helpless sigh before she was about to leave her mouth. Guarjia understood that given Wen Ruyan's current situation, no matter what they said, they would not listen.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be kneeling here.
"Sister, if you die, the most sad thing will be for Han Yan. She has already had to bear the fate of getting married. Do you still have the heart to make her sad again?"
Facing Ling Ruo's persuasion, Wen Ruyan held her forehead and said painfully: "I don't know, I don't know anything. I just want the emperor to let our mother and daughter live! I don't understand why he is so cruel, even if
If we don’t miss the friendship of more than 20 years together, we should at least miss the family ties of flesh and blood.”
"If he is sincere and doesn't even think about it, what's the use of you kneeling here." Guarjia felt distressed and said sadly: "The coldest and most heartless thing in the world is the emperor's home. Don't you understand, sister?"
Do you understand, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor will sacrifice anything, let alone a mere Han Yan."
Her words made Ling Ruo's heart beat violently. If one day he had to choose between Da Qing and her, would Yinzhen choose the former without hesitation?
"No matter what, as long as the imperial decree is not issued, I will try my best. You can go back and don't worry about me." Wen Ruyan said persistently, unwilling to give up any hope, even if it was so weak that it was almost invisible.
"How can we rest assured when you look like this?" Guarjia shook her head repeatedly, and then she did something that no one expected, she gathered her clothes and knelt beside Wen Ruyan.
"Sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Wen Ruyan said eagerly.
Guarjia said with forgiveness: "Since you insist on refusing to get up, then I will be the only one to kneel with you. Both of us are the ones who are not favored. No matter how you displease the emperor, it will still be like that."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is my own business and has nothing to do with you." Wen Ruyan did not want to involve the two of them. Today, she asked Ling Ruo to go to Yinzhen. Looking back afterwards, she felt extremely guilty.
"Sister, what you are saying is stupid. Is calling me sister all these years for nothing? If we ignore the matter between you and Han Yan, we will never have the nerve to stay in this palace in the future." Guarjia said.
He made up his mind, but when Ling Ruo was about to kneel down together, he dissuaded her and said: "Ruo'er
, you are different from us, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor treats you with great favor. If you offend Long Yan and lose the favor attached to you, it will be more than worth the gain. I know you are worried about sister, but here is
I'll just stay with my sister, you'd better go back to Chengqian Palace as soon as possible."
"Sister, I just said that we are sisters. We should share blessings and share hardships. Furthermore, the more people there are, the more likely it is to persuade the emperor." Ling Ruo and Wen Ruyan had a better relationship than Guar.
Jia's family is older and his feelings are deeper, so how can he leave like this?
"Ruo'er, don't you understand? It doesn't matter what my sister and I are like, because even if we fall out of favor, at least you, the beloved concubine, will be there to protect us. But if you also fall out of favor, then we will really be at the mercy of others. Also,
Once you no longer have the protection of the emperor, do you think the queen and Concubine Nian will let you go? They have always regarded you as a thorn in their side."
Ling Ruo didn't know what Guarjia said, but it was really difficult for her to let the two of them leave like this. She stood in the night wind for a long time, and finally left, but she didn't return the favor.
Palace, but once again stepped into the vermilion door of Yangxin Palace.
Ling Ruo and Yinzhen stood face to face on the flat gold bricks. The candlelight cast long shadows on their sides. The paper on the window on the side of Yangxin Hall was a little torn. Before the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had time to replace it, there were
The cold wind poured in from there, causing the candlelight to sway and even the shadows of the two people to sway.
After a long while, Yinzhen spoke first, "What are you doing here again?"
Faced with Yinzhen's obvious displeasure, Ling Ruo sighed silently, knelt down and said, "I dare you, I beg the emperor to reconsider the marriage of Princess Hanyan."
