Chapter 100
The queen was shocked and angry. If she agreed to this matter, Li Qingge would definitely hate her to death. She couldn't help but think of Li Qingge's clear and firm eyes, which seemed to contain endless wisdom and courage. She knew that Li Qingge would never give in easily.
The emperor saw the queen's hesitation, her face turning blue and white, so he asked with a straight face: "Aren't you willing to help me with such a trivial matter?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in the emperor's voice. Disappointment seemed to be distrust of the queen.
Actually, the emperor and the queen were not on the same page at all. The queen wanted Dayan to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but as for the emperor, he actually wanted the Qing Dynasty to integrate into the Qing Dynasty, so as to ensure the peace of the royal family and profit from it. How can this be a small favor? The queen was as bitter as a coptis, and she refused repeatedly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am only slightly related to Queen Dayan, how could it be possible..."
"Don't hide it any more. Me." The emperor interrupted her and waved her hand to stop. He stood up, walked to the queen, and said in a low and powerful voice: "I have found out the truth back then. Queen Li Qingge of Dayan is actually our fifth princess."
When the queen heard this, she was shocked. She was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning. She pretended to be unsteady, collapsed on the ground, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..." Her eyes were full of horror and disbelief, as if she was looking at a stranger.
The emperor couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when he saw the queen's reaction. He knew that this secret would be a huge shock to the queen, but he also had to tell the queen the truth. He knelt down, helped the queen up, and said in a soft voice: "Queen, don't be excited. I have found out about this matter. Li Qingge is indeed our fifth princess. Back then, she lived in Dayan for some reasons, and now she She has become the queen of Great Yan. I hope you can help me persuade her so that she can live in peace with the Qing Dynasty and prosper together."
The queen felt mixed emotions after listening to the emperor's words. She was surprised and confused, worried and scared. She didn't know how to face this sudden truth, let alone how to persuade Li Qingge. She knew that Li Qingge was an independent and wise woman who would not be easily swayed by other people's words.
However, the emperor seemed to have seen through her thoughts and continued: "Queen, I know what you are worried about. But think about it, Li Qingge is also our relative. She must have been living outside for so many years. Just longing to return to the arms of my family. If we treat her sincerely, she will definitely feel our kindness. Moreover, the peaceful coexistence between Daqing and Dayan is also a good thing for us. "
< br>The queen gradually felt a little moved after listening to the emperor's words. She thought of Li Qingge's clear eyes and firm expression, as if she were seeing a relative who was living abroad. She couldn't help feeling a little distressed and pity, but also a little hopeful and hopeful. Maybe, you can really try it? Maybe we can really make Da Qing and Da Yan live in peace?
The queen thought for a while, finally nodded, and said firmly: "Okay, I am willing to give it a try. But Your Majesty, I need a chance, a chance to talk face to face with Li Qingge. Only in this way can I better understand Only by understanding her thoughts and wishes can we better persuade her."
The emperor smiled happily after hearing the queen's words. He knew that the queen had agreed to his request, and he believed that the queen would be able to persuade Li Qingge to live peacefully with the Qing Dynasty. He nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I will give you this opportunity. Tell me when you are ready, and I will arrange for you to meet."
The queen nodded, feeling in her heart Nervous and looking forward to it. She knew it was a difficult task, but she believed she could accomplish it. She is willing to make every effort for the peaceful coexistence of Daqing and Dayan, and for the reunion and tranquility of her family.
Nanny Rong was standing aside, with a bit of anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes. She quickly stepped forward and held the queen's arm, with a tremor in her voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Queen of Dayan?" Maybe it’s the child of His Majesty and His Majesty, isn’t it early for the Fifth Princess? Did he die in infancy?" Although he asked this question knowingly, Li Qingge also said it specifically before leaving. Every word was like a carefully rehearsed script, just for the sake of this complicated relationship between family and country at this critical moment. The entanglement adds a more confusing color.
Nanny Rong’s eyes wandered between the Queen and the Emperor, making secret calculations in her heart. She had to perform the whole act, and if she knew about it but didn't report it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the consequences would be disastrous. For the sake of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty may not blame the Queen too much, but it is easy to deal with a powerless old lady. Grandma Rong smiled bitterly in her heart, why would she want to ask for trouble? I just hope that this storm can subside soon so that she can enjoy her old age in peace.
The emperor's gaze was profound, as if he could see into people's hearts. He looked at Aunt Rong, and then slowly turned to the queen, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes. He sighed, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his voice: "Queen, it's so hard for you to hide this from me. You didn't even tell the wet nurse who is closest to you. If it weren't for God's will, and I accidentally learned the truth, what are you going to do? How long will you keep it from me?”
When the Queen heard the words, her throat became dry and hoarse, and she spoke with difficulty, her voice as thin as a gnat: "Your Majesty, I am my concubine... My concubine..." She hesitated, her eyes flashed with complex emotions, and she felt guilty. , there is helplessness, but also a bit of unspeakable sadness.
The emperor waved his hand and interrupted her: "I understand what you mean. The past is in the past and I don't want to pursue it anymore. I owed you and the child back then, but now the child has been blessed by God and can be reborn. , and became the Lord of Great Flame. This is her destiny, and it is also our destiny. I just ask you, what do you plan to do in the future? "
"The future?" The queen looked confused, as if she was confused by this. The question caught me off guard. She stared at the emperor blankly, with a hint of bitterness in her voice: "What other plans can I have? I just hope to keep my position as queen and survive day after day, year after year."
Hearing this, the emperor sighed again. He stared at the Queen, his eyes revealing a bit of pity and helplessness: "The Queen Mother recommended you as the Queen because you were dignified and steady, but your personality was too straightforward and not good at tactics. The same was true for Li Qingge, strong and upright, and difficult to surrender. How can I pass the throne to her with peace of mind? But..."
The emperor's words paused, as if he was deep in thought. He recalled his several confrontations with Queen Dayan and the extraordinary talent she had shown in governing the country. He knew that this woman not only had extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also had a compassionate heart. How could he deny her ability because of gender prejudice?
When the queen saw this, she couldn't help being surprised. She recalled that Li Qingge had vaguely mentioned that he wanted to force the emperor to abdicate in a peaceful way to solve the dilemma between Qing Dynasty and Dayan. Unexpectedly, His Majesty was so determined that he actually considered passing the throne to Li Qingge.
The queen asked blankly: "Your Majesty... do you want to pass the throne to Xiaowu?" There was a bit of disbelief in her voice, as well as some indescribable complex emotions.
Immediately, she seemed to have suddenly become addicted to drama, and refused again and again: "This is not possible! The throne has always been passed down from male to female. Doesn't your majesty prefer Yongqi the most? He is smart and talented, and he is the successor. The best candidate for Datong!"
As soon as these words came out, the problem was thrown back to the emperor. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Yongqi's talents are indeed outstanding, but my daughter is even better. The prosperity and strength I saw in Dayan are unprecedented. I know she can achieve dominance as a woman, This is God's will. If I don't pass it on to her, I'm afraid the tragedy of the demise of the Ming Dynasty will happen again. Both men and women are the blood of my Aixinjueluo family. After all, they will still be our own family."
< br>
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little sad. He recalled the mistakes and poor decisions he made in his youth, which led to the rise of Great Yan and the decline of Great Qing. Now, the Qing Dynasty may end in his hands, and then merge into the Great Yan, and then go through the cycle of life and death. God’s will is unpredictable! In this case, he should comply with destiny and make the most correct choice.
Hearing this, the queen exclaimed: "Your Majesty..." There was a bit of panic and uneasiness in her voice, as if she could not accept this sudden decision.
The emperor held the queen's hand tightly and comforted him in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, when I learned about Li Qingge's life experience, I already had the idea of passing it on to her. I was just worried that she would be bellicose. It is difficult to treat Guangtu, so I have been hesitant, but now I see that she is here. Dayan has shown extraordinary talents in governance, and I know that this throne belongs to her... However, before officially passing the throne, she must agree to one condition."
The emperor's eyes became firm. And deep, as if he has seen the hope and light of the future. The queen looked at him blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart, not knowing whether this decision was right or wrong. But she knew that no matter what the outcome was, she had to accept this reality and try her best to assist Li Qingge so that she could become a great queen.
The queen asked eagerly: "What are the conditions?" There was a subtle tremor in her voice, as if she was both expecting and fearing the answer that was about to be revealed.
Emperor Qianlong was sitting on the dragon chair, his gaze was profound, as if he could see into people's hearts. He was well aware of Li Qingge's ambitions, and he also hoped that the Great Yan and the Great Qing could merge into one without any separation, and jointly create an unprecedented prosperous age. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "Qingge, this child, has a personality very much like the late emperor, fierce as fire, and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He is decisive and decisive in doing things, never dragging his feet."
Speaking of this, Qianlong's eyes flashed with a mixture of admiration and worry. He continued: "She not only severely punished corrupt officials, but also showed no mercy even to her relatives who made mistakes. I heard that in Jinling, she used eighteen kinds of torture to execute the entire Jin Aicai family. Her methods were so cruel that it was notorious His expression changed."
The Queen heard. Then she gritted her teeth and said: "That guy Jin Aicai really deserves to die! Back then he sold our daughter to a brothel so cruelly that I wished I could kill him with my own hands!" Her voice was full of anger and hatred, as if the humiliation and pain of that moment were coming back again. Well up in my heart.
Qianlong nodded. He also believed that Jin Aicai was more than worthy of his death. However, he had some doubts about Li Qingge's handling of his relatives. Although he himself was harsh in external affairs, he was quite tolerant internally. However, this kind of generosity is often just to protect the royal family's face.
He remembered that Emperor Shunzhi hated Dorgon so much that he dug up graves and whipped his corpse, deprived him of all honors and status, and demoted him to a commoner. After Qianlong came to the throne, he believed that Emperor Shunzhi's punishment of his uncle was too severe, so he issued an imperial edict to rehabilitate him and restore Prince Rui's title. There is also the grudge between the fourth master Yongzheng and the eighth master. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he repeatedly found excuses to remove the title of the eighth master, imprisoned him, and changed his name to 'Aqina'. Even the eighth master's son Hongwang also The name was changed to 'Bodhisattva Bao'. These past events flashed through Qianlong's mind like a revolving lantern, making him worried about Li Qingge's future behavior.
Li Qingge's crackdown on corrupt officials was much harsher than Yongzheng's. On the road to reform, she will kill anyone who stands in her way without mercy. Qianlong was worried that after she unified the world, she would be detrimental to the Aixinjueluo family and might even massacre the royal family. This worry was like a huge stone weighing on his heart, making it difficult for him to let go.
So, Qianlong said in a deep voice: "I hope she can agree that after succeeding to the throne, she will not massacre the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family, nor will she embezzle their ancestral property and wealth." His voice was firm and powerful, It seems like every word carries endless weight.
He originally wanted to include the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria within the scope of protection, but then he thought about it. The Eight Banners have a large population, occupy a vast land, and have even richer wealth. With Li Qingge's character, she would never give up this piece of fat. Therefore, Qianlong finally decided to give up this idea and only protect his descendants. His heart was full of helplessness and bitterness, but for the continuation of his family and the stability of his country, he had to make such a choice.
After listening to Qianlong's words, the queen was silent for a long time. Her eyes were complex and changeable, showing worry and reluctance for her daughter, as well as worry and helplessness for the family's future. Everyone has selfish motives, and if it were her, she would definitely consider future generations. But between Li Qingge and her, there was only the grace of childbearing but not the grace of nurturing. Although connected by blood, the relationship between mother and daughter still needs to be carefully maintained to prevent alienation.
The queen sighed softly and said: "I will write a letter to test her intentions. If it can be resolved peacefully, it would be best; if not, I have no other choice." There was a hint of laughter in her voice. It reveals a sense of powerlessness and helplessness, as if it has foreseen the difficulties and twists and turns in the future.
Qianlong was secretly happy after hearing the queen's words. He thought that he had lowered his stance and Li Qingge would definitely agree to this condition. After all, she was his daughter, with the blood of Aixinjueluo flowing through her body. He believes that blood is thicker than water and the power of family love will eventually overcome everything.
However, one morning three days later, when Li Qingge's letter was delivered to Qianlong, his mood became extremely complicated. He opened the letter and saw that it read: "The innocent will not be punished and will not be seized; the guilty will not be pardoned and will not be spared!" These simple words weighed on Qianlong's heart like a huge burden.
Li Qingge’s meaning is very clear: if the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family are not guilty, then their titles, salaries and wealth will be retained; but if they commit crimes, especially those crimes that endanger human life , then she will punish severely and never forgive. Such a reply not only reflected her fairness and principle, but also made Qianlong feel her determination and ruthlessness.
After reading the letter, Qianlong frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, just do as she said!" His voice revealed a sense of helplessness and acceptance of reality. mood. He knew that Li Qingge was a person with firm beliefs and principles, and he would not force her to change her stance or approach. After all, she is his daughter and the future queen of Dayan. He could only hope that in the days to come, they could coexist peacefully and jointly protect the country and the people.
The moment the queen heard the news, she was sitting by the window of Fengyi Palace, gently playing with a string of green jade beads in her hand. The beads glowed softly in the sun, as if she also felt To the joy of the owner's heart. The joy in her heart was like the rain coming from a long drought. The long-dry heart finally received a spring rain, which moistened her whole body and made her feel light. She closed her eyes slightly, with a satisfied smile on her lips, as if she had seen the peaceful sky that belonged to her in the future.
Not long after, a letter from the Queen quietly landed on Li Qingge's desk. She was standing in front of the study window, looking out at the spring garden, where peach and apricot blossoms were blooming, pink and white, so beautiful. The moment she received the letter, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously, and her smile was as bright as the most delicate flower blooming in spring. Even the air seemed to be filled with a faint floral fragrance. She whispered to herself softly, with a hint of amusement in her voice: "Qianlong, Qianlong, do you really think that if I agree to your conditions, you can preserve the glory and wealth of the Aixinjueluo family's descendants? You are too naive."
< br>Indeed, treating the orphans of the previous dynasty well is the responsibility of every new dynasty monarch, and Li Qingge is no exception. But Qianlong's expectations for the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family were too high. He is just like Mrs. Wang in "A Dream of Red Mansions", who always regards her son Baoyu as a child who does not understand the world. He thinks that by driving away Qingwen and Fangguan, whom he considers "enchantments", Baoyu can study in peace and obtain fame. As a result, they did not hesitate to cause chaos in the Grand View Garden and dispersed people's hearts. Li Qingge couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of this, secretly lamenting Qianlong's shortsightedness.
How did he know that Baoyu had already tasted the forbidden fruit, and the one who seduced him was the virtuous and honest Xiren in his heart. In the same way, Qianlong always favored the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family, regardless of whether they were close or distant. Once something illegal or criminal happens, they blame the subordinates and say they are taking advantage of their power to bully others. Li Qingge sneered. She had carefully studied Dayan's laws and knew that there was no such thing as anger and sitting here, and that the individual should bear the blame. But if she really sits on the throne and acts in accordance with the law, those who have done all kinds of evil will only be punished. Moreover, she had already found out the details of the royal family members and Manchu nobles in the capital. Those clan members were glamorous on the surface, wearing gorgeous brocade robes and precious jewelry, but secretly they were filthy. The concubine is abused by the illegitimate wife, the concubine is framed by the illegitimate son, the sisters compete for the husband, the incest between the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the quarrel between mother and son... These messy things are even more chaotic than the entertainment industry in later generations. Li Qingge frowned when he thought of this, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
However, these are not difficult for her. It would be easy for Li Qingge to deal with them. Once they break the law, they will be seized and their homes confiscated and severely punished in accordance with the law. By then, there will be countless so-called nobles left in the capital. She sneered, already thinking about it.
Family scandals should not be publicized, and most of these scandals were covered up in secret, but Qianlong thought that the Aixinjueluos were all innocent. Li Qingge shook her head and smiled bitterly. The result of this negotiation was better than she expected. She was originally worried that Qianlong would put forward harsh conditions to force her to take the Zen position, but now it seems that these conditions are not worth mentioning at all. She took up her pen and wrote a reply to the Queen, revealing an unquestionable determination between the lines: "Please Queen to close the net as soon as possible and put an end to this farce of true and false. I, Li Qingge, will never allow anyone to accuse me at the Zen Ceremony. The throne dictates.”
After the letter was sent, Li Qingge stood in front of the window, looking at the garden outside the window, feeling an inexplicable feeling of pride in his heart. She knew that her own time was coming.
......
On the other side, your concubine was anxiously waiting for Qianlong's return to the palace in Yongshou Palace. These days, she had been tortured so much by the queen, and she already hated the yellow-faced woman in her heart. She planned to wait until Qianlong returned to the palace, then go to the Yangxin Hall to act out a weak and pitiful play to win some sympathy.
However, before she was ready, she heard that Qianlong had gone to Kunning Palace in a hurry. Your concubine was stunned for a moment, feeling an indescribable anger and loss in her heart. She had waited in vain, and the hatred in her heart was almost going deep into her bones. She secretly scolded the queen for being a yellow-faced woman, old and ugly, and still trying to hog the emperor's favor. She was so shameless!
Your concubine paced back and forth in the Yongshou Palace. The jealousy and resentment in her heart were like wildfire, and it was difficult to calm down. She looked at herself in the mirror, and her pretty face was horribly distorted at the moment. She gritted her teeth bitterly and vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge.
At the same time, Shufangzhai was also in panic. During this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, I originally thought I could take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. In the end, apart from increasing my knowledge and bringing back some rare treasures, I did nothing else. The palace maids and eunuchs were so busy that they were all distracted. They knew that there might be another twists and turns after returning to the palace this time.
Little Yanzi and Ziwei, two beauties, one is burdened with the heavy shackles of the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the other is trapped in the humble status of a slave. Their fate is like the wind. Candle, flickering. In the deep palace of the Forbidden City, I originally thought that Emperor Qianlong would accept these two beauties who were difficult to tell the real from the fake with an extraordinary tolerance. Unexpectedly, everything was just a mirror, and it turned out to be nothing. .
At this moment, our protagonist group, including the clever little swallow, the gentle and virtuous Ziwei, and their loyal partners around them, are all anxious like ants on a hot pot, spinning around. , but was helpless. Everyone's face was full of anxiety and helplessness, as if they were tightly bound by an invisible net and could not find an exit.
The queen, the fishing master sitting on the fishing platform, looked relaxed and at ease, as if everything was under her control. There was a cold and cunning light in her eyes, as if she was admiring the chess game carefully arranged by her. She was waiting for Nanny Tian to return from Jinan and bring back the key evidence that could wipe out all these "monsters and monsters".
When the queen received Li Qingge's secret letter, an imperceptible smile appeared on her lips. She immediately ordered Aunt Rong: "Hurry up and send someone out of the palace to see if Aunt Tian is back?" Aunt Rong responded with a smile: "Mother, I was about to tell you that Aunt Tian has returned. .”
"Oh?" The queen frowned slightly, as if she was surprised that Aunt Tian did not report the message in time, "Why didn't you report to the emperor when you came back? Doesn't she know the secret of Ziwei? ?" Aunt Rong quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, how can you hide Xia Yuhe's illegitimate daughter? Aunt Tian must have known about it."
The queen was filled with doubts when she heard this. Even more: "Now that she knows, why doesn't she come into the palace? Where is she now?" Aunt Rong replied: "In Fucha Mansion."
When the queen heard this, a flash of light flashed in her eyes A glimmer of clarity. She understood that Granny Tian must have gone to verify Ziwei's life experience. This matter is related to the royal family's face. If he said it directly, Qianlong would definitely be furious and even kill Granny Tian. I think back then, the love story between Qianlong and Xia Yuhe caused quite a stir. Queen Xiaoxian passed away due to the pain of losing her son, and as Queen Xiaoxian's wet nurse, how could Aunt Tian not resent Qianlong and Xia Yuhe? Now that she had this leverage, she naturally wanted to take revenge severely.
Although the Fucha family was severely punished by Li Qingge, it is after all a century-old family with a deep foundation. Only by letting the Fucha family expose the true and false affairs of Gege can Xiaoyanzi and the others be put to death completely. The queen's move was really cruel.
The queen's eyes became sharper, as if she could see into people's hearts: "Mother Tian's words alone may not be enough, we have to add more fuel." Grandma Rong asked how to do it, and the queen smiled softly, and the smile was full of After a while, she understood the coldness and calculation: "The two words 'wrapped' are enough." After thinking about it for a moment, Grandma Rong understood what the queen meant and agreed with a smile.
"Go and get ready, I am waiting for a good show!" The queen touched the golden armor inlaid with pigeon blood rubies on her hand. The armor shone strangely in the sun, as if it were A symbol of the evil power within her. Her smile was sinister, almost like a darkened villain, making people shudder.
Under the secret manipulation of Nanny Rong, Ziwei and Jinsuo finally knew the true meaning of the word "wrapped". Especially for women like them who were selected before entering the palace, once they became a slave, they would be slaves and maids for life, and they would never get ahead. Unless you can get the emperor's extreme favor or give birth to an emperor's son, the mother will be able to change her destiny by raising the flag. But as a daughter of royal blood, how could Ziwei enter the palace and become a concubine? So her road to raising the flag is basically a dead end.
Mammy Rong still felt that the heat was not enough, and sent people to spread rumors that Qianlong was a person who paid great attention to face. If she knew that her daughter had been reduced to a concubine, she would definitely feel that she had been devalued, and she would never Clear her name. These words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Ziwei's heart.
After Ziwei heard these words, she seemed to be struck by lightning, her face turned pale as paper, and she almost fainted to the ground. Jinsuo quickly helped her sit next to the rockery and called her name anxiously. Ziwei looked at Jinsuo blankly, as if she had lost all her strength and hope. She asked with trembling lips: "Is Baoyi a slave? Once you become a slave, will you always be inferior to others? Jinsuo, how did we get to this point? What should I do?" Her eyes were full of despair and confusion. , as if the whole world collapsed.
Jinsuo felt sad looking at Ziwei's helpless look. She held Ziwei's hand tightly and tried to give her some strength: "Ziwei, don't be like this. We will definitely find a way. The fifth elder brother will not ignore us, and Xiao Yanzi, she will definitely find a way to save her. Ours."
Ziwei cheered up a little after hearing Jin Suo's words. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic and fear. She knew that she couldn't give up just like that, otherwise it would be really over. So, she firmly said to Jin Suo: "Yes, we can't just give up. We have to find a way to save ourselves, and we have to believe in Brother Wu and Xiao Yanzi. They will definitely find a way to save us."
< br>Speaking, Ziwei and Jinsuo looked at each other, each other's eyes were full of determination and courage. They know that this fight has just begun, and what they have to do is to face all difficulties and challenges bravely. No matter what difficulties and setbacks they may encounter in the future, they will work together to overcome this difficulty.
Jinsuo sighed, and the sigh echoed in the empty room, with a bit of helplessness and heaviness. She raised her eyes and stared at Ziwei seriously. Her eyes were full of worry and sincerity: "Miss, I have told you a long time ago that this palace is as deep as the sea. It is not a good thing to be a maid in the palace. Then Behind the splendid palace, there are countless sorrows and tears. But you refused to listen and insisted on helping Xiao Yanzi hide the truth. Now look, what kind of predicament we have fallen into..."
Lagerstroemia Hearing this, the tears in her eyes were like broken pearls, rolling down one by one. She choked with sobs, her voice full of self-blame and helplessness: "It's all my fault, I'm too naive, but now What should I do? Everyone in the palace is very smart. Who doesn’t understand the meaning of coating? Why am I so confused! I really failed my mother’s expectations. She wanted me to have a good home, but I didn’t. …”
When Jin Suo saw this, she felt sad in her heart, but she knew that now was not the time to be sentimental. She gritted her teeth and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes: "The only way now is to confess everything to the Emperor. We have to go to the Emperor and let him make a decision. Miss, you can't go on like this. Your identity, your The future is all tied between this thread. "
Ziwei's heart was in a mess, as if she was entangled by countless threads and couldn't find an exit. She shook her head and refused: "No, Xiao Yanzi doesn't have a token to avoid death yet. If the truth is revealed, she will definitely be in danger. I can't do this, I can't let her get hurt because of me."< br>
Hearing this, Jinsuo felt anxious and gritted his teeth angrily: "At this time, are you still worried about Xiao Yanzi? You are the real Huanzhugege, and this position is originally If it were not hers, how could you end up in this situation? You are of royal blood, how could the emperor not pity you? As for Xiao Yanzi, there are five elder brothers who love her deeply, as well as your concubine and the Fu family. People are helping her, so don’t worry too much. Miss, you have to think about yourself!”
Everyone knows that Qianlong is very fond of Xiao Yanzi, and they all think that he really likes Xiao Yanzi. But in fact, the reason why Qianlong tolerated Xiao Yanzi was because he felt guilty towards Xia Yuhe, and that guilt made him a little more tolerant and doting on Xiao Yanzi. Jin Suo thought that since Xiao Yanzi was so favored, Qianlong would not have the heart to kill her. So, she persuaded her again: "Miss, you can no longer hesitate. It was your kindness that led to today's predicament. If you delay it any longer, the father-daughter relationship between you and the Emperor will really be ruined." . You have to think about yourself and our future!”
Jin Suo knew that the lady valued her sisterly relationship with Xiao Yanzi, but she also lost her noble status. She was holding a breath in her heart, and now that she finally had the chance to say it out, she felt much happier. She continued: "Miss, do you know? When Xiao Yanzi first entered the palace, everyone laughed at her. Not long after her mother passed away, she wore red and green clothes. The colors matched really well... although she was not Madam's biological daughter, but You should be shy about taking your name. Now everyone in the palace is talking behind your back, saying that your mother doesn't know how to educate her children, and that your character... Miss, you can't go on like this, you have to Clear your name!”
When Ziwei heard this, her heart tightened and she hurriedly asked: "Is what you said true? Jinsuo, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, as if she was afraid of hearing anything bad. news.
Jin Suo felt sad when he saw this, but he nodded firmly: "Of course it is true, miss. I have been with you since I was a child, how could I lie to you? Everything I have done, It’s all for your own good!”
Ziwei’s face suddenly turned pale, her eyes filled with hatred and struggle. She hated herself for being so stupid in the first place, and why she helped Xiao Yanzi hide the truth; she was also struggling with her current predicament, not knowing what to do. What she hesitates about is not Xiao Yanzi's safety, but she is worried that no one will believe her when the truth is revealed. Since entering the palace, Ziwei has observed that everyone regards Yongqi as the future crown prince, and the concubine and the people of the Fu family are also supporting him. Yongqi dotes on Xiao Yanzi very much. If she tells the truth, they will fully support Xiao Yanzi. However, Ziwei is worried that she will not be able to convince Qianlong, but will be accused of framing Gege and alienating her family. When the time comes, not only will she herself suffer, but Jinsuo will also be implicated.
Just when Ziwei was immersed in her own thoughts and couldn't extricate herself, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door. Grandma Rong ran in panting, her face pale, as if she had just experienced something big. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to report: "Empress, it's not good, the emperor... the emperor wants to make Ziwei a concubine!"
