Chapter 28: The Road Turns

Le Qing was locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, although it was also a prison, but it was much better than the mixed place of the general yamen. The emperor has not removed Le Qing from his position, and he doesn't know what the holy will is.

If Zhong Su hadn't brought her here, Ran Ning probably wouldn't even know where the door of Dali Temple Prison would open.

When he arrived at the place, Zhong Su said, "Let's go in, it's already dotted inside." But don't stay too long, after all, it's a prison, it's damp, and it's not good for your health. ”

"Okay." Ran Ning nodded, let Bizhu help her get out of the car, and Xiao Wu led her in. In fact, even if she stayed a little longer, it didn't hurt if she stayed in prison for a while, after all, it was impossible to stay for too long, so that the cold would not enter her body, but Zhong Su's concern still accepted her.

When she came to the prison, the jailer did not embarrass Ran Ning and showed her the way. Ran Ning asked Xiao Wu and Bizhu to wait for her at the door, and followed the jailer inside.

The place where Le Qing was held was at the end of the prison, a little out of the way, but also quiet. There was a damp musty smell in the prison, which made people feel very uncomfortable, but Ran Ning didn't cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, since she was here to visit, she had to have a visit, otherwise it was better not to come.

"It's right there, girl, go over by herself." The jailer pointed to a cell not far away and said to Ran Ning.

"Thank you." Ran Ning nodded and walked over alone, and the jailer turned to leave.

Hearing the movement, Le Qing looked up, and when she saw Ran Ning, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her calm.

Ran Ning saluted her and called "Lord Leqing".

Le Qing nodded, got up from the stone bed, and walked over. Le Qing didn't wear a prison uniform, just a plain uniform, looking a little less majestic and a little more haggard than usual.

Generally, prisons are just a layer of straw on the ground to prevent moisture, and prisoners can only sit on the ground and rest against the wall if they want to rest. But each cell here had a stone bed covered with straw on which the prisoners could rest, and the conditions were relatively good.

"Why are you here?" Qingle asked. In her opinion, the last thing to come should be Ran Ning, and it is not possible to enter here if you want to.

"I asked a friend to help with it." Ran Ning wasn't going to mention Zhong Su, "Le Qing, is it worth it for you to do this?" Yu Fang won't end well, why do you have to dirty your hands? ”

In Ran Ning's heart, although Le Qing is strict, she is not a person who can kill, but now she killed Yu Fang with her own hands, which shows the depth of hatred, but is it really worth it? For the sake of a scumbag, he lost his future.

Le Qing looked at Ran Ning, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Everyone doesn't mean it, but I think it's worth it." Others think that Zhi'er is just a palace maid who follows me, and I have never told anyone about it, but in fact, Zhi'er is my daughter, my biological daughter. ”

"What?" Ran Ning was stunned, she would never have thought that Zhi'er was actually Le Qing's daughter.

"There's nothing I can't say about it now. I've been holding back for so many years, and you're the first to come to see me, so I'll tell you about it......" Le Qing sighed again and talked about the past.

At that time, Le Qing was just a small musician, and he met Tobe Langzhong at that time, and fell in love at first sight, and promised a lifetime. The Hubu Langzhong treated her very well, saying that when Le Qing was twenty-five, he would carry her into the door, but because he had already married a wife, he could only let Le Qing be a concubine. Le Qing was madly in love with that Tobe Langzhong, so he agreed. Later, Le Qing suddenly became pregnant, but before she could tell the news, Hubu Langzhong was implicated because of his father's huge corruption, his father was beheaded, and he was dismissed and sent to Western Xinjiang, and the rest of his family was also sent together. Le Qing lost the news of the other party in this way, after all, with her identity at the time, she couldn't do anything, and she was pregnant, so she couldn't go with her at all.

Le Qing originally wanted to wait for the child to be born, so he went to find the Tobe Langzhong. I never thought that a plague broke out on the way to distribution, and that Tobe Langzhong died in the plague along with his family, and even the official in charge of distributing them did not escape.

When the news came, Le Qing was grief-stricken, but considering the child, she still survived. At that time, her current pregnancy was not very obvious, so she took a long vacation on the grounds of illness. A person quietly rented a house and waited there to give birth, and she thought about how to leave a little blood for Tobe Langzhong.

In this way, Le Qing gave birth to Zhi'er. After Zhi'er was full moon, she entrusted a farmer to take care of her, and Le Qing would send some silver money over every month. The old couple are very good, and they take care of Zhi'er meticulously. When Zhi'er was six years old, the old couple passed away one after another, and Le Qing brought Zhi'er into the palace, at that time she had already sat in Zuo Shangle's position, and it was easy to leave a little palace maid by her side. She never told Zhi'er about her life experience, nor did she say that she was Zhi'er's mother. On the one hand, she was afraid that Zhi'er would accidentally leak her mouth and get into trouble, on the other hand, Zhi'er had been filial to her since she was a child, and she was no different from her own life, so she didn't need to point it out, she wanted to wait for Zhi'er to get married one day.

"Zhi'er, like me, is a miserable person. But in the final analysis, I still didn't teach her well, making her naïve and vain, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen for Yu Fang. Le Qing didn't cry, but her eyes were full of sadness, "Zhi'er is gone, I have no meaning to live except to avenge her." Now that I have stabbed the murderer, I have no regrets in my life. ”

Ran Ning didn't know what to say, everyone has their own way of revenge, which is not right or wrong, only rational or impulsive. Le Qing was impulsive once, and he fulfilled himself, but it was also equivalent to ending himself.

"I'm done with everything I want to do, and the emperor will admit it no matter what he sentences. There is only one thing I can ask you to help with. Le Qing said.

"You say." Ran Ning nodded.

"Please go to the Rite and Le Division, and tell the two Shangle on the left and right that when I die, ask them to bury me next to Zhi'er. I didn't take good care of Zhi'er before she died, and in the next life, I will definitely make amends, don't let me find her. Le Qing said very calmly.

"Okay." Ran Ning responded. She thinks that this is probably the heart of a mother, and her heart is always towards her children. Although she didn't feel mother's love, she still felt moved.

"Do you two Shangle know about you and Zhi'er?" Ran Ning asked.

"I don't know." Le Qing sighed again and said, "Okay, go back quickly, it's not appropriate for you to stay here for a long time." Go back and prepare well for marriage, you are very talented, if it is not for marriage. In a few years, my position will probably be yours. I don't have a chance to participate in your makeup, you have to take care of yourself in the future, and your piano skills will not be left behind. ”

Le Qing has a feeling that people are about to die, and her words are also good, and she is no longer making things difficult for Ran Ning, or she killed Yu Fang, and the hatred in her heart has also been put down.

"Yes. Le Qing rest assured, Ran Ning will not fall behind if she works diligently and practiced. Ran Ning felt that Le Qing, who had let go of her prejudices, was very easy to get along with, but I was afraid that they would not have much chance to get along.

"Well, let's go." Le Qing waved at her.

"Then I'll go back first, take care of Leqing." Ran Ning said.

"Hmm." Le Qing nodded.

Seeing Ran Ning coming out, Bizhu hurried to help her. Xiao Wu gave the jailer an extra tip, and then the three of them left the prison together.

Back in the car, Ran Ning told Zhong Su about the matter. After Zhong Su heard this, he said that Le Qing may not be sentenced to death, as long as it can be proved that Zhi'er is Le Qing's biological daughter, according to Beixin's laws, avenging his relatives can be mitigated or exempted from punishment.

After hearing this, Ran Ning said to Zhong Su, "Can you send me to the Rite and Music Division first?" ”

Zhong Su raised his eyebrows and looked at her, as if asking what to do?

Ran Ning told Le Qing what she had told her. He also said: "I want to discuss this matter with Shangle on the left and right, it would be best if I could save Le Qing." I can't say anything about this matter, and it's inconvenient for you to come forward, since Lord Leqing can trust the two Shangle, it doesn't hurt to let them know, and then let them go to Lord Xu, let Lord Xu investigate this matter, and give Le Qing a fair verdict. ”

Zhong Su kept looking at her, but didn't speak.

Ran Ning looked back at him suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhong Su smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy that you are willing to think about me." "He is really not suitable to come forward in this matter, and he has no position to come forward, which is different from him helping Ran Ning.

Ran Ning lowered her head and pursed the corners of her mouth, and said, "Even if I want to do something, I can't let you take risks." ”

"What if I'm willing to take your risk?" Zhong asked.

"Then I won't let you do it, although we haven't known each other for a long time, you ...... to me" Ran Ning's face was hot, and she stopped halfway through her words.

Zhong Su continued to look at her and asked, "How?" ”

"Don't sue you!" Ran Ning was a little annoyed with shame, and she didn't want to say any more, in fact, she almost blurted out just now, but she still restrained herself.

Zhong Su wanted to pinch her chin and make her look at him, but thinking that Ran Ning hadn't passed the door yet, he had to be polite, so he had to do it, anyway, he would know sooner or later, and he wouldn't be in a hurry.

Ran Ning stopped looking at him, wanting to make the heat on his face subside a little. Fortunately, Bizhu didn't go out for a few days, sitting outside the car to breathe, otherwise Bizhu would have listened to these words, and she would probably be even more embarrassed.

In fact, all she wanted to say was that Zhong Su was more important to her. This is not said casually, but after thinking, after experiencing these things during this time, Ran Ning feels that there is no one who has a heavier weight in her heart than Zhong Su.

After going to the Lile Division to explain Le Qing's instructions, the left and right were also surprised, but promised to do things well, so that Ran Ning could go back to get married with peace of mind. After all, it is a good day for Ran Ning, and it is really not appropriate to contact these things again.

Then Zhong Su sent Ran Ning back to Bofu, and did not chase after what Ran Ning was going to say.

As Zhong Su expected, after Lord Xu found out about the incident between Le Qing and Zhi'er, he wrote to the emperor. The emperor thought about it for a moment, and ordered that Le Qing be removed from his position, demoted to a commoner, and never allowed to enter Beijing.

The Yu family was not satisfied with this verdict, but they had no choice but to hate Le Qing secretly.

On the day Le Qing left Beijing, the people from the Lile Division went to see each other off, and Ran Ning also went, and prepared some coils to make it more convenient for Le Qing on the road. After Le Qing dug up Zhi'er's body again and cremated it, she took it with her, and prepared to go back to her hometown to be reburied.

Zhi'er's case is completely over here, although the ending is sad, but Le Qing is still alive, which is enough to make people feel comforted.

Time flashed by like a white horse, and soon it was about to be the day of Ran Ning's recruitment, and the Bofu was busy, and Ran Ning no longer thought about anything else, and concentrated on preparing to get married. Everyone has their own choices and ways of living, and she is about to start preparing for a new life.
