Chapter 49: It's a Foregone Conclusion

When Xu Miaoxin woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day, the candles in the hall were gone, and the sky outside was not yet fully bright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Yu Rui, who had been guarding the hall all night, heard the slightest movement for the first time, and then found that Xu Miaoxin had finally woken up, and hurriedly walked to Xu Miaoxin's couch, and couldn't help but say excitedly, "Niangniang, you are finally awake, but you are worried about the death of the slave!" ”

Xu Miaoxin's face was completely sickly pale, and she moved her body, but she found that she didn't even have the strength to get up, so she simply lay back, closed her eyes, and said lightly, "What's wrong with this palace?" ”

Yurui knew that Xu Miaoxin definitely didn't know yet, and couldn't help but say happily, "Niangniang, you are...... Bun in the oven! ”

Xu Miaoxin suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Yurui in disbelief, and said in shock, "What did you just say?" ”

"The slave said, Niangniang, you are happy, and it has been at least a month and a half!" Yurui said happily.

"Is that true?"

"Seriously! Empress. Yu Rui nodded and replied with a smile, "Your Majesty also issued an order, from today onwards, your grounding will be lifted, and the old lady can enter the palace to see you today!" The slave and maid estimated that maybe the lady was already on the way to the palace now! ”

"What about my father? Did Your Majesty say anything? Can his charges be mitigated? Is it possible to be exempt from capital crimes? Xu Miao said anxiously.

Yu Rui was stunned, remembering the content of Emperor Chen's decree last night, and didn't dare to answer.

Xu Miaoxin waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for Yurui's answer, and then, she also understood.

"So, no, right?!" She said lightly, her voice empty and floating, without any emotion.

Yu Rui couldn't tell whether this was a question or a sigh, but she could only regard it as a sigh, because then there would be no need for an answer, and because this answer was too cruel, she was unwilling to give Xu Miaoxin such an answer.

The status of the master determines the status of the minions, if the master is favored, then it is an inconspicuous little minion, and he can be proud in front of other minions of the same level or even higher, and if the master is not favored, then you are under the master, no matter how high the status is, you must be respectful to the minions below the other favored masters, even if they sneer at you or even verbally humiliate you, you can only endure it.

Yurui is the only maid brought into the palace by Xu Miaoxin from the Xu Mansion, from the former lady to the current mother, naturally no one cares more about Xu Miaoxin's identity and status than her.

In the harem, the heir is an upper ladder for the status of the concubine, and it is also a very weighty guarantee.

She thought that this unexpected surprise was enough to make Xu Miaoxin happy, at least to cheer up, even if it was her father right now......

However, the result did not seem to be like this, Xu Miaoxin's face was very complicated, her brows were frowned, her eyes were gently closed, and she couldn't see any joy at all.

Yurui suddenly didn't know what to say, she knew that Xu Shangshu's accident came too suddenly, first she took in a concubine of unknown origin and almost assassinated her life, and searched for more than half a month without finding it, but the woman who committed the assassination suddenly appeared in front of the governor of Gyeonggi and beat the drum and shouted her grievances.

Then, the plaintiff became the defendant, the criminal became the victim, the old case from seven years ago, and even earlier....... Her father was imprisoned, the eldest brother and the second brother were also relieved of their official positions, and almost all the property of the Xu family was handed over to the treasury, yes, she was fine, she was in the harem, she was still a concubine, but now, her father's life could not be saved, and the family brought a letter to her to let her find a way to save her father, of course, even if the family did not say that she would definitely do it, it was her father, how could she just watch her father die.

However, the result was that she knelt and begged in front of the Qianqing Palace for a whole day, and Emperor Chen didn't even see her face, she broke in and begged Emperor Chen to open up to her father, but the answer was that she was grounded in the Pavilion Tao Palace, if she dared to take a step out of the Pavilion Tao Palace, she would be abolished and demoted, and she would never have to return to the Pavilion Tao Palace again.

How could she have imagined that what she thought was just a small case would end up like this.

As for this child, will this child be able to save his father? If you can't, what use can you have?

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, the candles in the candlesticks have been extinguished, and the window lattices in the east are sprinkled with a faint morning sun, bright and clear.

After a long time, Xu Miaoxin opened her eyes again, and she stood up with difficulty, "Change clothes for the palace, the palace is going to see Your Majesty!" ”

Yurui hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Miaoxin up, worried, "But Niangniang, you ......."

"Even you, do you want to stop this palace?" Xu Miaoxin looked at Yu Rui and said coldly.

Yu Rui was taken aback, this was the first time in history that Yu Rui had seen such a look from Xu Miaoxin.

Yu Rui didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly instructed the other maids in the palace to quickly fetch water to wash Xu Miaoxin, and then change her clothes and go to see Emperor Chen.

........

Qianqing Palace.

Yang Jingde walked quickly to Emperor Chen's study, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu Niangniang asks to see you!" ”

Chen Huang's hand holding the pen paused for a moment, then continued to review the folded book, and said without much emotion, "Let her in." ”

Then, Xu Miaoxin walked in slowly with the help of Yurui, dressed in a light blue robe, and her makeup was much lighter than before, with a sickly pale complexion that could not be concealed at all, but this Xu Miaoxin made Emperor Chen can't help but soften his heart.

Xu Miaoxin bowed according to the courtesy, "Concubine, participate in Your Majesty." ”

Chen Huang walked down, gently helped her up, and said softly, "They are all pregnant people, what kind of etiquette do you have?" ”

Xu Miaoxin looked up at Emperor Chen, did not speak, just took two steps back respectfully, and knelt down before Emperor Chen did not react at all. Fold your hands, kiss the ground with your forehead, and bow down.

It is a prostration, not a debt.

Chen Huang was shocked, "Xin'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Miaoxin looked up at Emperor Chen, knelt on the ground, and said in an extremely calm voice, "Your Majesty, although the concubine still doesn't know what kind of big crime his father has committed, but he knows that since His Majesty gave him such a sentence, it must be something unforgivable about his father." The concubine did not dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness of his great sins, but begged His Majesty to be merciful and exempt his father from the death penalty, even if it was imprisonment for life! Your Majesty, you also know that the concubine already has a child, and the concubine wants the child to be born to be able to see her grandfather, and wants her father to meet his nephew, and more importantly, the concubine does not want the concubine's child to be born in the year of his grandfather's death. ”

Xu Miaoxin kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, for the sake of this child, I also beg you, is it okay to let my father live?" ”

At this time, Xu Miaoxin's attitude was different from that day, Xu Miaoxin, who did not hesitate to break into the palace and cry unreasonably, she was a lot quieter, a lot more rational, and also made people pity a lot, if it wasn't for the fact that this matter really couldn't be easily changed, even Emperor Chen couldn't bear to refuse.

However, there is only one result of this matter, and that is the result that has already been shown to the world.

Even if it weren't for Chen Huangnian for Xu Miaoxin's sake, the Xu family would have been raided by now, and Xu Miaoxin's concubine position might have been abolished.

According to this calculation, Emperor Chen is already very affectionate.

Therefore, Emperor Chen will no longer be in love, Emperor Chen is not a soft-hearted person, and Xu Changzhen's case, even if it has been many years, but it still has a bad impact, if such a thing happens again, it will shake the foundation of the country, the society of the country, this country is not easy to get, how can he tolerate those insatiable moths who disregard the overall situation to corrode it and shake it?

Don't say one, even ten, a hundred, and he won't let go of any of them.

If this was put back then, if Mu Xianzheng really revealed the truth about Xu Changzhen, then Xu Changzhen back then would have only one result: he was beheaded all over the house!

Yes, all over the house!

At that time, Xu Miaoxin had not yet entered the palace, and at that time, Emperor Chen was very angry, and the eleven main organization leaders in the Yuyongguan Mutiny were all beheaded, and half of the more than 2,000 soldiers died directly in the violent suppression of the imperial court, and half were injured or disabled, and all of them were expelled from the army.

After seven years, the truth came late, and Emperor Chen's anger was also consumed by most of the years, and there was one more Xu Miaoxin.

So Xu Changzhen is already very lucky.

Emperor Chen's anger faded, but Emperor Chen was still the same Emperor Chen of the year, whether it was the one seven years ago or the one eleven years ago.

Therefore, Xu Miaoxin's begging is destined to be rejected.

But some naΓ―ve, some ridiculous, and some pitiful Xu Miaoxin can't think so much after all, she just wants to get what is in front of her.

She had already moved out of the most important bargaining chip at the moment, but Emperor Chen still rejected her.

Yes, Your Majesty already has so many heirs, and even the crown prince has been established for more than two years, what does it matter if there is more or less? She thought sadly.

She staggered out of the Qianqing Palace, and there was no more senseless stalking like the last time, of course, the main thing was that she knew that those were useless, it would only make Emperor Chen more disgusted and make things worse.

Then she thought of the Queen.

But she quickly came to her senses, if the queen really had the possibility of helping her, why didn't the queen come to see her today? And what she did some time ago, the queen is now afraid that she is looking at her with a sneer.

When she returned to Guantao Palace, Mother Xu had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Mother and daughter hugged each other and stood in the hall crying.

"Xin'er, your father is ...... You have to save him, you have to save him no matter what, and now only you can save him! ”

Xu Miaoxin cried and shook her head, "It's ...... Can't be saved! ”

Mother Xu was stunned, hurriedly grabbed Xu Miaoxin's hand, shook her head firmly, and said, "No, no, no, Xin'er, you can save him, you are a lady, Your Majesty loves you so much, and you have a child now, even for the sake of the child, Your Majesty will definitely open the net, definitely, you go to see Your Majesty, you beg him to spare your father's life for the sake of you and the child, even if it is for the rest of your life, only if you can save the ......."

Xu Miaoxin looked at Mother Xu with tears streaming down her face, "Mother, have you forgotten where I just came back from?" Didn't they tell you where I went when you came? I've done all of what you said, but it's useless, mother, it's useless! ”

Mother Xu looked at Xu Miaoxin blankly, a little hope that had just risen, but now in an instant, she returned to despair.

Yu Rui stood far away beside her, and the silence lowered the air pressure in the entire hall to the point of almost solidifying.

Then, Mother Xu suddenly thought of something, and said urgently, "Queen Mother!" Xin'er, you can go and ask the queen mother, hasn't the queen always stood by you before? If something happens to your father, your position will definitely be shaken, and if your position is shaken, then who else will help her suppress Concubine Chen? Suppressing Ning Liangren? She'll definitely help us, Xin'er, go and beg her! ”

Xu Miaoxin closed her eyes and shook her head with tears, "Mother, why haven't you understood yet?" In the past, the daughter had a little friendship with the queen, so didn't the father and Gao Shangshu have it? But where is Gao Shangshu after his father's accident? What did he do, did he ever say a word for his father? Have you ever helped your father in the slightest? The queen is a member of the Gao family, does the queen not know the attitude and position of Gao Shangshu? Beg? What's the use of asking? The queen has been using me all the time, and now even if my father's death penalty is spared, but our family's status is still gone, my status will still be shaken or even shaky, because now Emperor Chen's heart is getting farther and farther away from me, so what use value do I have for the queen? What's more, I robbed her of her favor some time ago, and she's thankful that she doesn't step on our heads a few times now! Mother, no one will help us, we have no way to choose. ”

Mother Xu shook her head desperately, she didn't believe it, she wanted to refute her daughter's words, she wanted to tell her daughter that there was still hope, as long as her father had not been really executed, as long as he was still alive, there must still be hope, but the moment she opened her mouth, a breath suddenly froze in her throat, and then her daughter's face became more and more blurred in her sight, and then, it was gone......

She seemed to hear her daughter calling her, but only like. (To be continued.) )
