20. Chapter 20

"Uncle Huang, Marquis Jingning is a meritorious minister, we can't abandon him. ”

In the Zhenghe Palace, the Queen Mother stood in front of the imperial case, with a sad expression and persuaded the man opposite to bow his head to review the folds, Song Jin stood next to her, staring at the imperial uncle aggrievedly with black and white eyes, as if he was unhappy because the imperial uncle had not agreed to his request.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the Queen Mother does not need to say much. Song Qin didn't raise his head and said, his words were as cold as ice.

The queen mother's face turned pale, and she glanced at the eunuchs who were waiting on the side, she pursed her lips and persuaded again: "Uncle Huang, the heirs of the Marquis of Jingning are not prosperous, if there is an accident in the Marquis of Jingning, there will only be Mrs. Hou and three children left in the family, please Uncle Huang for the sake of their women and children, and carefully consider the matter of replacing people, okay?"

This time, Song Qin refused to even say a word and turned a deaf ear.

"Uncle Huang......" Song Jin called him pleadingly, and before he could finish speaking, the Queen Mother pressed his shoulder, shook her head, and led Song Jin away.

The mother and son returned to Ci'an Palace.

When Tang Yu saw the Queen Mother, he stood up eagerly and drove out with the Tang family. Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was pale, Tang's heart sank, and his voice trembled while clutching his chest: "Lord Wang, didn't the Lord agree?"

The Queen Mother's eyes were sad, slowly swept over Tang Yu and his wife, lowered her eyes and blamed herself: "It was I who caused Yu'er's father, maybe I changed to a general who has nothing to do with me, he ......"

Tang stumbled for a moment, she was just such a younger brother......

Tang Yu froze in place, the Queen Mother was in front of her, but her vision seemed to penetrate the Queen Mother, through the palace walls, and saw her father, who was imprisoned in the Huns' cell, with a broken arrow stuck in his right shoulder, bleeding non-stop, and described as haggard.

Song Qin was reluctant to change people, because in his heart, a general was not as important as the Xiongnu crown prince. The Queen Mother begged each other, but he did not agree to change people, because the Tang family and the Queen Mother are relatives, and now his father has made great contributions, and his prestige among the people has increased, so Song Qin has to guard against his father, so he is more willing to borrow the hands of the Huns to get rid of his father, right?

So, is the father going to die?

Lost and depressed, Tang Yu didn't know how he returned to the Hou Mansion.

"Yu'er, don't worry, I'll go back to discuss with your uncle immediately, the court has not made a decision for a day, we still have hope, you must be steady, understand?" Tang helped his niece sit on the chair, bent over, and said to his niece's miserable little face.

Tang Yu nodded indiscriminately.

Tang was distressed but helpless, and left in a hurry to beg her husband to find a way.

The Rong family has always been afraid of this eldest sister-in-law, but now that the Rong family is gone, she immediately came over and asked Tang Yu crying: "Yu'er, what did the Queen Mother say? Did she think of a way to save your father?" Yu'er, the Queen Mother has always liked you, you must not give up, if you don't ask for it a few more times, it will be related to your father's life......

Lay on the table and whimpered.

Tang Yu glanced at her, slowly stood up, and wanted to go back to his Mei Pavilion. There is no one in Rong's mother's family, and now she can only count on the eldest daughter who is favored by the Queen Mother, who is willing to let Tang Yu go, and if she can't stop people, she leads her own daughter Tang Lin to follow Tang Yu, and the mother and daughter cry together. Tang Yu had a headache, and the headache was almost unbearable, as if it would explode in the next moment.

She pressed her forehead in pain, stopped, and said without looking back: "I'll find a way, you go back first." ”

If crying works, she wants to cry too, but she doesn't even have a person who can cry out and beg for each other, the queen mother tried her best, and her aunt will help without her asking, all over the capital, all she can count on are these two relatives, even if there are others, as long as Song Qin doesn't let go, it's useless for anyone to ask.

Song Qin, Song Qin......

Tang Yu's heart suddenly rose with a trace of vitality. If she didn't know Song Qin, Song Qin had always been the ruthless and unfeminine regent she originally thought, Tang Yu was not sure that she could get Song Qin's nod, but Song Qin was not, he was dignified and he coveted her femininity......

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Tang Yu slowly raised his head and held back the tears that came up. As long as she can save her father, what will she do to Song Qin? She can be ruined, she can never marry for the rest of her life, but she can't watch her father die in a foreign land. That is her only dearest relative in this world, the father who puts her heart first, no one can compare, even if that person is Wei Zhao.

After sitting alone in the room all afternoon, it was getting dark, Tang Yu raised his head and looked firm, "Mama, come in for a while." ”

Mama Liu and Mo Lan Huilan were guarding outside, and when they heard the summons, Mama Liu instructed the two maids to guard the door, and she walked quickly to the inner room. When she entered the house and saw Tang Yu calmly, Mama Liu guessed eight points in her heart, pretended to be confused, and persuaded bitterly: "Girl, Mama knows that you will definitely not be able to eat now, but you must eat, otherwise you will be sick urgently, what should you do over there?"

"I know, Mamma, I actually asked you in to discuss something with you. ”

Tang Yu pointed to the embroidered stool next to the bed and invited Mama Liu to sit over. She can't get around Mama Liu about this matter, and she can't hide it if she wants to.

Mama Liu sat down in confusion and looked at her blankly.

Tang Yu spent an afternoon making a decision, and at this time his heart was very calm, he looked at Mama Liu and said, "Mama, I want to go to Duanwangfu tonight and beg him in person." ”

Mama Liu stood up in shock, a pair of slightly cloudy eyes stared at Tang Yu tightly, to make sure that Tang Yu was not hot-headed, Mama Liu frowned, did not rush to express her opinion, thought for a moment before sitting down again, and sighed sadly: "Girl, the queen mother's persuasion is useless, how can the prince listen to you? Moreover, in the middle of the night, with such a girl's appearance, I am afraid of the girl...... No, it won't work. ”

Tang Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Mama, I know what the consequences of my trip may be, you have taken care of me in every detail over the years, and I will not hide it from you, as long as he is willing to promise to save my father, I am willing to do whatever he does." ”

"Girl......" Mama Liu knelt down, her hand tightly grasped Tang Yu's knee, and her face was sad, "Girl, you can't belittle yourself like this, if Master Hou knew that he was rescued by you like this, how much pain would he have in his heart......?"

Tang Yu raised his chin slightly, but this time he didn't hold back, and the two lines of tears slipped down silently. She turned her head to wipe it, but her voice was very calm: "Mama, the matter is done, please don't sue anyone, father, aunt, and cousin, don't say anything, let them think that Song Qin's conscience has found out." On my cousin's side, I can't marry him again, I'll find a reason...... In time, he will forget about me. ”

Mama Liu burst into tears and begged her: "Miss think twice, this is a major event related to your life, you ......"

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Tang Yu bent down to help her up, his eyes full of pleading: "Mama, I beg you, promise me?" I just want to save my father now, if something happens to my father, I will also be worse off in this life." ”

Thinking of the misery of her parents not being around, Tang Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself into Mama Liu's arms and cried.

Mama Liu also cried, gently patted the little girl's shoulder, and when Tang Yu had cried enough, and gradually calmed down, Mama Liu helped her sit on the bed, thought about it, stared at Tang Yu's eyes and asked, "Is the girl determined to save Master Hou like this?"

Tang Yu nodded without hesitation.

Mama Liu helped her wipe her tears, carefully looked at the beautiful and beautiful face in front of her, her brows tightened, revealing a look of wanting to say something.

Tang Yu thought she still had concerns, and said calmly: "Mama has something to say, you can say it directly." ”

Mama Liu looked at her, pity and embarrassment flashed in her eyes one after another, and she hesitated for a cup of tea before she lowered her head and said as if resigned to her fate: "Girl, since you have made up your mind, no matter how much the old slave persuades you to change your mind, then I can only do my best to help you, and strive to successfully persuade the prince to deal with this matter tonight." ”

Tang Yu was suddenly nervous, suppressed and asked her, "Do you have another good plan?" Maybe she didn't have to dedicate herself?

As if seeing her expectations, Mama Liu's face was bitter, and her eyes dodged, "Girl, you are still young, you don't know men, in my opinion, the prince is cold-blooded and ruthless, and is not close to women, girl, if the girl's beauty plan wants to succeed, I'm afraid, you have to dress up carefully...... The girl has lost a lot of money recently, and now she is worried about Master Hou, and her face is even worse......"

Tang Yu didn't expect that Mama Liu would persuade her to dress up carefully, in order to lure Song Qin and dress herself.

She instinctively resisted, but touching her face, Tang Yu laughed at herself, "Mama is thoughtful, just do what you say." ”

Mama Liu looked outside and whispered: "The less people know about this matter, the better, Mo Lan Huilan should hide it, I will accompany the girl tonight." At night, the girl waited for the two of them to fall asleep, go to my side first, I will help you dress up, I have the key to the garden gate, as long as we are careful, we can do it without knowing it. ”

Tang Yu also thinks so, after all, it is about reputation, and if she can, she hopes to minimize the number of people who know.

The master and servant discussed it again, and in the evening, Tang Yu acted according to the plan.

Mama Liu took her back to her room first, and the rouge and gouache were prepared in front of the dresser. Tang Yu was in a complicated mood, and Mama Liu knew that she was sad, so she simply explained, "Looking at the beauty under the lamp, if the girl is not cleared, she will be captivated without makeup...... You don't have to dress up too deliberately tonight, just a little rouge is pretty much the same. ”

Tang Yu looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, whether she was beautiful or ugly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Mama Liu stopped talking, and concentrated on applying rouge to the little girl and putting lipstick. Touching this fairy-like ice muscle and jade bones, and rose-like full lips, Mama Liu couldn't imagine that any man would resist the urge to take possession of this beauty. What about the regent, as long as he is stained with this rouge and lipstick, and eats the poison specially prepared for him by the Queen Mother, he will only have three good days left, and when the three days are up, he will die violently.

Two quarters of an hour later, in front of a corner gate of the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, two figures walked out silently, and walked towards Duanwang's mansion through the vast night.
