Chapter 17: Trance
Jing Diyi said, "The queen mother herself understands that the queen mother is good to her, in fact, there is nothing wrong with the queen's meek and virtuous temperament. Concubine Qiong was arrogant before, but she has been punished so many times, she should have some memory, and she will not dare to be disrespectful to the queen again, the queen mother is afraid that the queen will be bullied, so she can teach more. You can't teach it once, teach it twice or three times, and one day it will become. β
The Queen Mother said softly, "This time, please don't sue the emperor for the sake of the mourning family." β
Jing Diyi also guessed what she wanted her to do, "The queen just asked me to go to her palace to chat for a while, what does the queen mother mean?"
Concubine Wan had been kneeling outside the emperor's study, but the emperor refused to see her, so she thought that the queen mother was not thin on her on weekdays, and wanted to come to beg the queen mother. Knowing that the Queen Mother had come to the queen, she rushed over and knelt down in front of her.
The Queen Mother only saw a white shadow pounce out and was frightened.
Concubine Wan cried, "I beg the Queen Mother to have mercy on our mother and son." β
Hearing that it was Concubine Wan's voice, the Queen Mother was displeased, "What happened to the Nine Emperor Princes, you know it in your own heart, you didn't discipline him well in the past, what's the use of coming to beg the mourning family when something happens." What's more, the affairs of the court have always been the emperor's wise decision, and the mourning family does not care. β
Concubine Wan knelt forward and grabbed the skirt of the Queen Mother, "The concubine also knows that the Nine Emperors are really ignorant this time, but the concubine is the only one under his knees, he is the only son, and he pities the hearts of parents in the world." Queen Mother, please say a few words of love for the Nine Emperor Princes for the sake of the concubines who served the Queen Mother wholeheartedly in the past. β
Concubine Wan Guifei cried heartbreakingly, and the Queen Mother was also a little moved, "That's it, the mourning family will beg the emperor for the Nine Emperors, but in the end, the emperor is still in charge, and you don't have to expect too much from the mourning family." β
Concubine Wan kowtowed and thanked her.
Jing Diyi thought that although the Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, it was quite beautiful. But in fact, as long as those princes and grandsons committed the unforgivable crime of seeking the dynasty and usurping the throne, at most they were relegated to other places to be idle royal children.
Of course, Pingle is an exception, although she can't fully understand the emperor's mind, but she is sure that he will not take her son's life.
Sure enough,
Ten days later, the emperor issued a decree and demoted Lao Jiu to Jizhou. It stands to reason that Lu Wanyou is Nine Emperor Concubines should also go with her, but it can be said that the old illness occurred on the second day after the holy decree, it sounds really coincidental and coincidental, but everyone knows that she was assassinated before and almost died, and the imperial doctor in the palace went to testify that this was indeed the case.
Lu Fu asked the emperor to wait for Lu Wanyou to recover from his injuries before leaving for Jizhou, and the emperor agreed. Jing Diyi didn't expect that the previous assassination had helped Lu Wanyou, so it was said that Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and Lu Wanyou's illness was probably going to be raised for three and a half years.
Jing Diyi went to the West City Gate.
On that day, Lao Jiucheng's relatives and the important figures in the court all came to the door to say goodbye, and now this time is different from the past, and what situation is expected, but Lao Jiu himself did not expect that the five princes and Pingle came to see him off.
Pingle brought some snacks for him to eat on the way, "These are made by the chefs of the Yuan Mansion, Mu Sheng originally wanted to come with me, but he couldn't come because he was on duty." β
The Nine Emperors didn't answer, so Pingle put the dim sum on the carriage. Lao Jiu was not happy in his heart, and vented, "If you become a king or lose a villain, why bother to come." You forgot that before you were demoted to a commoner, what did we do? β
Ping Le said angrily, "Of course I remember, I always thought that you really cared for me like my father, but I just didn't want to be a princess anymore, and you avoided me like a plague." "She's still angry when she thinks about it.
The Nine Emperor Princes sneered, "How can anyone in the palace be sincere, everyone let you just because you are favored by your father, you won't be so naΓ―ve until now." β
Pingle said, "Why does Brother Jiu talk so hurtfully, I and Fifth Brother are kind enough to send you and be ridiculed by you, it really gives you a conscience as a dog's lungs." β
No matter how stupid she is, she understands now, she couldn't accept it at first, but now slowly, occasionally she thinks about whether she can just be a commoner in peace, she has accepted the present, and she accepts the past by the way, whether it is good or bad.
Pingle thinks that her realm is a little sublimated.
The fifth prince took out some money and silver to escort Lao Jiu's errand, because he was the prince, even if he was guilty, he didn't need to wear shackles and locks. The Nine Emperor Princes didn't appreciate it and said, "I don't need it. β
The fifth prince said in a low voice, "I just want to have a snack." "There's only so much he can do," Father is going to summon the Duke of Leopard, and someone has already gone to deliver the decree. When the Leopard Kingdom comes, I will say a few good words for you, and then things may take a turn for the better. β
The Nine Emperors put on a face, and Ping Le wanted to say how he was helped more than helping people in these years, so he saw Jing Diyi's sedan chair. Seeing that he was now in such a field, the Nine Emperor Princes no longer had to be afraid of offending her.
Jing Diyi said with a smile, "The Nine Emperors have also become too fast, didn't they want to be a matchmaker for me not long ago, but now they don't recognize people." Don't worry, I'm not one of those people in your court who see the high and the low, and I don't come to see your jokes. β
The Nine Emperor Princes said, "Do you think I still have a place to use to come?" β
Jing Diyi smiled, he had nothing, what else could he use him, he also thought too highly of himself, "I'm in a good mood today, I don't care about you." She took the hairpin out, "She asked me to give it to you." Jing Diyi broke the hairpin.
The Nine Emperor Princes snatched it over and said distressedly, "What are you doing." β
"She made me break it and give it to you. She has seen it many times, this is indeed an ordinary hairpin, there is no mystery hidden, if it is really a token between them, the hairpin is broken, it should be a love break.
The Nine Emperor Princes held the broken hairpin, and the person was in a trance. Jing Diyi became curious, "Don't you beg me to save her, she told me that as long as I can save her child, she is willing to exchange her life, if I say I can save her, are you willing to exchange your life?"
Lao Jiu was silent, with hesitation, struggle, and reluctance in his eyes, but in the end he returned to silence.
Jing Diyi laughed and said, "She really understands you, this is the so-called mutual affection, it is better to forget about each other in the rivers and lakes." "Although I like it, it's not more important than my own life.
Because Jing Diyi didn't mention Ji Qingcheng's name from beginning to end, Pingle couldn't understand who she was referring to. But seeing that Jing Diyi was smiling so happily, I guessed that she was probably making a difficult choice again, and this female devil's interest was to embarrass others to please herself.
The Nine Emperors hung their heads, and their rebelliousness towards the Five Princes and Pingle was gone, he was never Xiang Yu, and he couldn't do it and still retain his dignity to kill himself. Whether it was his mother or his wife and children, he couldn't keep them, and at this moment he finally accepted his fate like a loser who had nothing and got into the carriage. (To be continued.) )>
