Yuan Qingling knew that the imperial concubine really regarded the princess as her own daughter. In fact, if this had not happened, maybe the relationship would have been purer, but now, she always feels that it is too complicated.
But all this has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, she just rushed to the shelves.
Yuan Qingling held her hand and said softly: "The prince is with her, don't worry, go back and rest, you don't have to worry about freezing in the cold weather."
The imperial concubine had tears in her eyelashes, and there was a hint of sadness in her voice, "Princess, do you believe me? I didn't know about it beforehand. It was only when the emperor announced that I knew that so many people were in this palace at that time."
It’s hard to refuse, it’s not that I want to be greedy for this honor.”
How could Yuan Qingling not know?
Therefore, she said with relief: "Don't think too much. Many things are beyond our control. We just need to keep our minds."
The imperial concubine sighed, "I have been in the palace for most of my life, and I have looked down on them a lot. I am willing to love them as a mother, and I have always done so, but with this title, I don't know what to do.
Already."
Yuan Qing Ling Moran.
The imperial concubine cheered up and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yuan Qingling looked at Eunuch Mu Ru and said, "I'm going to Qingyu Palace."
The imperial concubine's expression changed slightly, she understood, and said: "Okay, you go."
Yuan Qing Ling Fu resigned.
Following Eunuch Mu Ru all the way, she felt the night wind was freezing and biting, and it hurt her face as if it had been scratched by a knife. She couldn't help but shiver.
Because of the New Year celebrations, the palace was still decorated with lights everywhere, and the darkness was driven out by the lights, but the surroundings were still watching eagerly, even pervasively, which made people feel oppressive.
When we arrived at the entrance of Qingyu Palace, the red lantern hanging at the entrance dimmed, as if it was being swallowed by the darkness, slowly eating away at the light, making it appear flickering and weak.
At the gate of the palace stood the armored imperial guards, lined up in two rows with long swords in hand, as motionless as statues. Even their eyes did not have a trace of warmth, appearing cold and hard.
When she entered the palace, she didn't recognize any of the palace attendants standing at the door. Everyone had no expression on their faces. They only saw people bowing and bowing when she came.
Yuan Qingling saw a person standing in front of the corridor. Under the blurred light, his face was unrecognizable and his figure was somewhat familiar. He was holding a wooden tray in his hand, with a dagger, white silk, and poisonous wine vaguely visible on it.
.
Yuan Qingling glanced at it and quickly turned away.
Eunuch Mu Ru pointed to the red carved wooden door and said to her: "Princess, please come in!"
Yuan Qingling took a deep breath and slowly climbed up the stone steps. The stone steps had been cleaned and the blood stains were gone.
Eunuch Mu Ru stretched out his hand to push the door, and the heavy wooden door made a hoarse creaking sound. Yuan Qingling seemed to hear various killing sounds coming from behind, and turned around suddenly, but there was only an icy cold wind behind her.
Entering the palace, Eunuch Mu Ru and Yuan Qing Ling went to the inner hall. He opened the glazed curtain and said to Yuan Qing Ling: "Princess, please come in. This old slave is waiting here."
He stood in the middle of the curtain, facing the inner hall.
Concubine Xian's hands were no longer tied behind her back, allowing her to move her hands freely, but her feet and body were still tied to the chair.
When she saw that the person who came was Yuan Qingling, she couldn't help being disappointed and said coldly: "The emperor is so cruel?
He refused to allow the mother and son to see each other for the last time, which was really cruel."
Yuan Qingling's back didn't hurt so much before, but now that she saw Concubine Xian, she felt the tearing pain in the wound again. She walked over slowly and sat opposite Concubine Xian. The chair was also occupied by Emperor Ming Yuan just now.
Pass.
"Father said," Yuan Qingling spoke, feeling that her voice was extremely hoarse and her throat was extremely dry, "call me over to hear what you have to say. Just say it, every word, and I will tell it to Lao Wu.
Never hide it."
Concubine Xian punched the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "Okay, then you tell Lao Wu that it was you Yuan Qingling who caused our mother and son to be separated. It was you who killed me and asked him to kill you."
Yuan Qingling looked at her face full of hatred and nodded, "Don't worry, I will pass this on to you."
"How dare you come?
Are you very happy?
Are you happy to see the fate of the Su family and me now?"
Concubine Xian sighed, but her saliva couldn't fly over and landed at Yuan Qingling's feet. Yuan Qingling lowered her head and saw that the saliva she spat out was stained with blood.
Yuan Qingling stretched out her hands to smooth the clothes on her knees, then looked up at her, "What should I be happy about?
What's the matter with you? The people who are sad are Lao Wu and Princess. I care about them and don't want to see them sad for you."
She didn't look back, but she felt Eunuch Mu Ru's cold eyes and sighed quietly in her heart. It seemed that there was nothing she could do to turn the tide.
She was still willing to give it a try and said: "I have done wrong before, and I am here to apologize to you and ask you to forgive me."
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said: "I won't believe a word of the nonsense you said. You don't have to be pretentious here. This is what I want to say to Lao Wu. Go and tell him. If he still thinks about fertility and nourishment,
I will avenge my mother's love, and killing you Yuan Qingling can be regarded as comforting my spirit in heaven."
How can a virtuous concubine not be disappointed?
If it was Yu Wenhao who came, she would be sure to persuade her to plead for mercy, but if it was Yuan Qingling who came, her conciliatory policy would not work at all. Yuan Qingling was looking forward to her death.
Therefore, the moment she saw Yuan Qingling, her heart was in despair and her heart was broken.
Yuan Qingling looked at her sadly, "What did I do wrong?
How can you hate me?
Can we bury the hatchet?"
"Never!"
Concubine Xian's tone was cold, her expression was arrogant, and her tone was full of resentment, "You don't deserve it, and I won't accept your apology. You will always be in debt to me. If Yu Wenhao doesn't want to kill you, I won't even act like a ghost."
I’ll let you go.”
Eunuch Mu Ru stepped forward and said softly: "Princess, please go back. No need to say more. It's settled."
Yuan Qingling sighed in his heart, stood up and said calmly: "In this case, I take back my apology. I don't owe you anything. On the contrary, you have been against me and tried to kill me. I am the one who deserves to be hated. You are not qualified."
!”
After Yuan Qingling finished speaking, she glanced at Concubine Xian's bloodthirsty scarlet eyes and turned away.
She heard Concubine Xian cursing, and also heard Eunuch Mu Ru say: "The Emperor ordered the Crown Princess to come. If you feel regretful, admit your mistake to the Crown Princess and apologize, the Emperor will spare your life. But obviously Concubine Xian
Just now I kept saying that I knew I was wrong, but it was not from my heart."
Concubine Xian roared hysterically, beating the armrest of the chair excitedly, "Lying, if he really wanted to pardon me, he shouldn't have come to the person I hate the most. He knew that I would not pretend to be soft to her, Your Majesty, 2
Have you forgotten the relationship between husband and wife that lasted for more than ten years?
Have you forgotten all about it?
How can you be so cruel?"
Yuan Qingling didn't go far, and stood in front of the corridor, watching the man holding a wooden tray slowly walk out of the darkness, with a clear outline, and it turned out to be Gu Si! Gu Si looked at her seriously and whispered.
Said: "Princess, please go back, don't stay here."
