Something was pulsing in the heart of the Queen Mother, which made her eyes go black. She raised her trembling finger and pointed at Yuan Qing and said sharply: "You... tell me, what did the boss do that warranted having his house ransacked and being questioned?"
Zhan? Don’t use excuses about whether you are involved in politics or not. If you ask Lao Wu how much he loves you, he will definitely tell you. Don’t hide it, tell the truth!"
It's not that Yuan Qingling doesn't want to say it, but she can't let it out of her mouth. Saying it means she knows everything, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for Lao Wu.
Besides, where can the Queen Mother clearly explain this matter?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the Queen Mother turned around and scolded Concubine Qin angrily, "Why are you crying? Tell me, what's going on?"
Concubine Qin crawled to the Queen Mother on her knees and said with tears and runny noses: "I don't know what happened. I only know that Prince Ji's palace was raided and he was imprisoned. He said he was waiting for the prince to be confirmed."
For the crime of treason, he will be executed by his entire family!"
"The whole family was executed?" The Queen Mother trembled when she heard these four words, "Oh my God, my God, this can never happen again. It must be an unjust case. Mr. Hui Zong made a big mistake back then and killed Yu by mistake.
The family is full of princes. If Twelve Lao hadn't been carried away, Prince Yu's lineage would have been extinct. We can't make this big mistake. Come on, come on, prepare a carriage, I want to see the emperor."
Emperor Ming Yuan was afraid that the old Queen Mother would interfere in this matter if she knew about it. Now that he saw the Queen Mother coming in a hurry with an angry look on her face, he knew that he could no longer hide it.
Concubine Qin and Yuan Qingling came with them. Seeing these two people, Emperor Ming Yuan's face darkened and he glared at Yuan Qingling fiercely.
Yuan Qingling was innocent and helpless, but she also knew that her father would have no choice but to vent his anger on her.
"You go out first!" Emperor Ming Yuan said to Yuan Qing Ling calmly.
Yuan Qingling was also afraid of causing trouble by staying here. After hearing Emperor Ming Yuan's words, he hurriedly bowed out and left. He did not dare to linger outside the imperial study, let alone leave the palace immediately, thinking that the only one who could help him at this juncture was the Supreme Emperor.
That was the safest place, so I quickly headed to Qiankun Hall.
The Supreme Emperor knew about this matter. As long as he wanted to know about every move outside, he could not hide it.
The Emperor was obviously sad too. Yuan Qingling went to sit in the palace for a while, then he smoked a bag of cigarettes. The whole main hall was filled with smoke. He smoked while coughing, which made his face turn red.
Even Fu Bao couldn't stay any longer and slipped away to the back hall.
Yuan Qingling couldn't help but persuaded, "Old man, please stop smoking."
The Supreme Emperor glanced at her lightly and said, "If you can't stay any longer, get out."
"I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself." Yuan Qingling said helplessly.
The Supreme Emperor shook the ashes from his cigarette and said calmly: "If you die for the rest of your life, you will live for most of your life if you don't die. Who cares whether you are injured or not?"
Yuan Qingling looked at his stubborn face under his gray hair. This old man had to be strong all his life, but in fact, no matter whether he was in power or after he abdicated, there were not many things he could control, especially the overt and secret struggles in the royal family, and he was even more powerless.
.
Just like the father is now.
"Who doesn't care? Your longevity is the blessing of the Northern Tang Dynasty and the blessing of the royal descendants." Yuan Qingling said.
"What does the blessing of others have to do with Gu? Who wants the blessing of Gu?" The Supreme Emperor was a little irritable today. After saying a few words, he panted and glared at Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling saw that he was like a firecracker, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore. He just closed his mouth and pinched his shoulders and beat his legs.
After pinching for a while, and seeing that he seemed to be taking advantage of it, he slowly opened up the conversation and asked: "Old man, I just heard the imperial grandmother talking about Prince Yu. What is going on with Prince Yu?"
"Their family? Except for Lao Twelve, the whole family is rich!" the Supreme Emperor said, closing his eyes.
Although it was a tragedy for the royal family, he was still young at that time and had no feelings for Prince Yu, the imperial uncle. In addition, after many years, everything had settled, so naturally he didn't feel any sadness.
"What about this old twelfth man? Is he still alive?" Yuan Qingling asked.
The Supreme Emperor opened his eyes and rolled his eyes at her, "An!"
"Oh, that's a blessing." Yuan Qing said.
Eunuch Chang smiled at the side and said: "Princess, this old twelfth prince, how many times have you seen him."
Yuan Qingling was shocked, "How many times have I seen him? Has he... been made a prince?"
This orphan who had his whole family exterminated was finally crowned a prince. What the Queen Mother said was indeed an unjust case.
"Isn't it? It's Prince Bao!" Eunuch Chang said with a smile.
Yuan Qingling was a little surprised, "It's actually him?"
Prince Bao is now the patriarch of the Yuwen family. The last time he revised the jade ultimatum was also done by him, and he was the prince in charge of the royal family.
Yuan Qingling was a little thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing her stop her movements, the Supreme Emperor asked displeasedly.
Yuan Qing Ling hurriedly regained his composure, "No, I was just a little surprised to see him..." It's actually not appropriate to call him an old man, because this Prince Bao is actually not very old, ten or eight years younger than the Supreme Emperor.
And he was well maintained, and he and his father looked like brothers.
"He is now open-minded and wise. I didn't expect that he had experienced catastrophe." Yuan Qingling said with a smile.
"When this happened, he was just an infant. Even if he found out later, he was vindicated. Who can he resent?"
"Yes!" Yuan Qing Lingyan responded insincerely.
In the imperial study, I don't know how Emperor Ming Yuan persuaded the Queen Mother. Anyway, when Yuan Qingling went back to Ronghe Hall to pick up the child, the Queen Mother didn't say anything even though she was crying.
However, when Yuan Qingling picked up her child and left Ronghe Hall, she was stopped by Concubine Qin.
Concubine Qin had always wanted to talk to Yuan Qingling in private, but Yuan Qingling didn't want to see her, so she had to vent her anger in front of the Queen Mother, thinking that the Queen Mother could put pressure on Yuan Qingling. However, the emperor only said one sentence to the Queen Mother
, who could be more devastated than me when I wanted to kill my own son? After that, I never said anything and just cried.
She had no choice but to continue begging Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling was dragging three children with her. She couldn't help crying and rubbing her hands like this, so she had to ask the wet nurse to take the children out and wait.
Concubine Qin cried until her eyes were swollen. She took Yuan Qingling's hand and begged: "I know that I was not very friendly to you in the past, but I have never offended you. The women in the harem cannot interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty.
I have no way of seeing the prince, so I asked the princess to tell you a few words. She said that the prince has admired his eldest brother since he was a child, and his eldest brother often took him to ride and practice martial arts. The love of flesh and blood, the deep brotherhood, even the broken bones are connected to the tendons.
, any disputes between brothers on weekdays are harmless, but when a disaster strikes, it is your brothers who lend a hand to help. I also ask the prince to remember this brotherhood and be tolerant to his eldest brother.
I don’t ask for anything, I just want to save his life. Princess, you are also a mother and you should understand me. I beg you to tell me that Lao Wu is a person who values friendship. As long as he is willing, he will definitely find a way to save his life.
