Mama Fang personally led Ji Xiaotang to Yang Pianpian's execution place.

Even if Ji Xiaotang has seen a lot of things, when he saw that scene at first glance, he still felt a little unbearable. The lower half of Yang Pianpian's clothes have already ~ bloodstained, and the person is pressed there, and I don't know if he is still alive.

"Are you still alive?" Mama Fang stepped forward and asked.

The executioner was extremely stammered by Mama Fang, and hurriedly replied to Mama Fang's words, saying that Yang Pianpian still had a breath.

has already played twenty boards, and there are still ten boards, I don't know if Yang Pianpian will still be alive if he will be beaten by ten more boards.

"Please make it convenient for Mama to stop for a while, I have a few words to tell her." Ji Xiaotang said to the other party's grandmother.

Mama Cheng was injured, but the injury was not serious, so she was still serving by Ji Xiaotang's side. At this time, she had already stuffed a heavy red seal into Mama Fang's hands.

Mama Fang responded with a smile, and went up to say that the executioner might not buy Ji Xiaotang's account, but he was willing to make it convenient for Mama Fang.

The board stopped temporarily, and someone took a basin of cold water around and woke Yang Pianpian up.

"This dares to assassinate the county lord, and she should be told to learn more lessons." The people who executed it obviously also thought that Ji Xiaotang came here to be angry.

"Pianpian ......" Ji Xiaotang walked up to Yang Pianpian, squatted down~ and called.

Yang Pianpian raised her head with great difficulty, and slowly saw clearly that the person who came was Ji Xiaotang.

"You ......" Yang Pianpian only had half a life left at the moment, and she didn't even have the strength to stare at Ji Xiaotang. What are you here to do? ”

"I'm here to see you. ...... Pian"

Although Ji Xiaotang and Yang Pianpian have known each other for a short time, the two are very compatible. If there is no matter of Yang Ge Lao. Ji Xiaotang believes that she and Yang Pianpian will be very good friends in this life.

However, things are unpredictable.

"You're coming to see me die?" Yang Pianpian looked at Ji Xiaotang hard.

"I hope you live." Ji Xiaotang sighed slightly. She didn't know what to say to Yang Pianpian, so she only lowered her voice and slowly chanted: "The white hair is as new, and the cover is the same." ”

Yang Pianpian was stunned, and then there were tears in her eyes.

She was in the main hall, and she did not cry when she was tortured. Nor did she shed a single tear. Her tears had already dried up in prison.

But now, Ji Xiaotang's words. It still made her cry.

"Why don't you let me die!" Although Yang Pianpian had tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth, "Let me die before I end up clean." You know, what did they do to me? You know. How did Shanshan die? And grandmother, mother, aunt ......"

Something in the prison. Ji Xiaotang didn't know, but she could imagine it.

Ji Xiaotang slowly stood up.

"Pianpin, I know you won't be grateful to me. If you hate me, hate me. I hope you can live. It's always good to be alive. You still have a lot to do, don't waste all your talents. ”

When Ji Xiaotang said these words, he no longer had nostalgia.

She turned around and took a few steps away. stopped again and nodded lightly to Mama Cheng.

Mama Cheng immediately took out a few heavy red envelopes from her sleeves. This matter naturally needs to be dealt with by Mama Fang.

"The Queen Mother just spoke, and she didn't have to die. Mama is considered to be a good deed. Ji Xiaotang said to the other party's grandmother.

Mama Fang is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Han, who has served by the side of the Empress Dowager Han for many years, and can best understand the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Han. At this moment, when she saw Ji Xiaotang take out these red envelopes and make a slight excuse, she was happy to push the boat.

The red envelope was distributed to the executioner, and Ji Xiaotang's red envelope was wrapped in the best color of golden beans. The executioner's subordinates are superborn, and Yang Pianpian will not die.

As for what path Yang Pianpian will take in the future......

"I hope I didn't mistake her." There is no personal enmity between her and Yang Pianpian, Ji Xiaotang believes that Yang Pianpian will figure this out.

Ji Xiaotang's trip~ soon reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Han without any mistakes.

With a smile on her face, Empress Dowager Han sat very comfortably in the rocking chair, teasing the snow-white Persian cat in her arms.

This Persian cat was found from outside by the feudal commander two days ago and presented to Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Han liked this Persian cat very much and gave it the name Tuan Xue.

"Queen Mother, today's medicine is the best opportunity, why does the Queen Mother ......" Mama Fang asked carefully.

"Ji Xiaotang is not afraid." Empress Dowager Han stroked the back of the Persian cat and said slowly, "Originally, I hesitated to keep her." After all, there is much use in keeping her around. It's just that her temperament looks bland, in fact, it is the most difficult to control, and if she has no desire, she is strong, and such a person is still clean. ”

Empress Dowager Han wants to get rid of Ji Xiaotang, of course, not just to pave the way for Princess Changning's marriage. A lot of people are wrong about her on this point.

"But ......"

However, she had more opportunities to get to know Ji Xiaotang, so she was hesitating, and slowly changed her mind completely.

"Woman's kindness! Whether she is sincere or for the sake of a benevolent name, she will not be able to achieve a big deal after all. The pros outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Although the Yang family and the Ji family are not personal enemies, the fall of the Yang family has a great relationship with the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang. In this case, even if Ji Xiaotang didn't fall into the ground, he should never save the people of the Yang family.

Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

There are two women left in the Yang family, but these two women cannot be underestimated. The Yang family is in the Ji Mansion, and the Empress Dowager Han doesn't plan to pay attention to it for the time being, but Yang Pianpian has to hold it firmly in her hands.

The relationship between Ji Xiaotang and the fall of the Yang family, she has long ensured that Yang Pianpian will know, and she knows a lot.

Thinking like this, the smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Han's mouth became more and more obvious.

Ji Xiaotang has a temperament, even if he can't control it directly, he can use a lot of people and things to make Ji Xiaotang go on according to the chess game she has laid out.

Empress Dowager Han has already arranged a way out for Ji Xiaotang.

"She's going to be the best piece of chess in my hands. How can you kill it, it's too tyrannical! Empress Dowager Han laughed happily.

……

A banquet planned by Empress Dowager Han. It was held as scheduled at Cining Palace. This time, in addition to everyone who came to the banquet in the imperial garden, there were also a few more guests from outside the palace.

Qin Zhen, King of An. King Su Qin Lin and Princess Su Zheng Gui were both invited to the banquet.

This banquet was more grand and grander than the one in the Imperial Garden.

Qin Zhen was the earliest, he stepped forward to salute the Empress Dowager Han, and then greeted each other with Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang noticed that Qin Zhen was wearing a new dress. Today he seems to be in a particularly good mood, and he also pays extra attention to appearance.

Ji Xiaotang glanced down twice, and all the beauties also dressed up to attend. There are these beauties. The main hall of Cining Palace seems to be like a heavenly fairyland. And Qin Zhen deliberately dressed up like this, thinking that he had the intention of going on a blind date.

Qin Zhenhou's house was empty, not only was there a lack of a princess in charge, but the places of the two side concubines were also vacant. Ji Xiaotang can't remember who he heard about it. There are not many women in Qin Zhen's back house.

And for now. It is a good opportunity to enrich Qin Zhen's "harem".

Empress Dowager Han also once said that these girls who came to the alternatives, in addition to staying in the palace, would also pick another marriage.

Qin Zhen saluted, and sat down at the bottom of the Empress Dowager Han very familiarly, he thought that the seat was far away from the Empress Dowager Han, and moved the chair himself, so that the Empress Dowager Han was closer.

Qin Zhen spoke to Empress Dowager Han. There are even some familiar and informal meanings, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said that the Empress Dowager Han became more and more radiant. It seems to be a few years younger. Empress Dowager Han scolded Qin Zhen with a smile, obviously not really annoyed.

Qin Zhen coaxed Empress Dowager Han into a smile, but then turned his head to look at Ji Xiaotang.

"Sister Xiaotang's life in the palace is still used to it?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang.

"I'm still used to it, thank you Prince An for your concern."

"It's my duty to care about Xiaotang." Qin Zhen said with a smile, "Xiaotang, you are here with the Queen Mother, don't be restrained, if there is any inconvenience, just mention it to the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother is the most loving to her younger generations. If you are embarrassed, tell me, and I will speak to the queen mother for you. ”

Before Ji Xiaotang could speak, Empress Dowager Han laughed again.

"You're old enough to be in charge of my house. You're so careful, I'm afraid I don't know. You, you're still worried that I'll be wronged Xiaotang! ”

Qin Zhen immediately snorted, and flattered the Empress Dowager Han twice, Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang and then at Qin Zhen, her eyes were very meaningful.

After Qin Zhen, Empress Han and Concubine Zheng also came.

The banquet was about to start, but there was no trace of Emperor Longqing, even King Qin Lin and Princess Zheng Gui did not come.

Empress Dowager Han naturally wanted to ask, and the answer she got was that Qin Lin entered the palace and met Emperor Longqing, so she went to the Qianqing Palace with Princess Zheng Gui and Emperor Longqing to talk.

"Thinking that it was their brother's words that were dense, they forgot the hour." Empress Dowager Han nodded when she heard this, and sent someone to the Qianqing Palace to urge Emperor Longqing.

As soon as the people were sent out, someone outside reported that Emperor Longqing was coming.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up with everyone.

It's just two or three days of work, and Emperor Longqing's face seems to be getting paler and paler, and he seems to be even less energetic. Those who followed behind Emperor Longqing~ were Qin Lin and Zheng Gui.

I don't feel that if I don't walk together, Emperor Longqing and Qin Lin entered the door together, and Ji Xiaotang felt more and more that the two were similar, especially the faint melancholy temperament that shrouded their bodies.

It's just that Qin Lin is even younger, and his spirit and spirit are incomparable to Emperor Longqing.

When Emperor Longqing and Qin Lin stepped forward, the three brothers stood together, and the contrast became more and more obvious.

Ji Xiaotang bowed his head and saluted, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Emperor Longqing is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and is also handsome, he is slightly inferior to his two younger brothers.

That's right, whether it is Qin Lin or Qin Zhen, they are more imperial than Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing is more like a scholar.

When everyone sat down again, Empress Dowager Han asked Emperor Longqing a little.

Emperor Longqing was still very deferential to the Empress Dowager Han, but his eyes did not make contact with the Empress Dowager Han.

"My son has been in poor health these days, which worries the queen mother." Emperor Longqing didn't plan to come to the banquet today, but he happened to meet Qin Lin and was persuaded by Qin Lin.

"In this way, it is still thanks to King Su." Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Lin with a smile.

"The Queen Mother is here, working hard for the royal brother, how could the imperial brother not come. Even if you don't want to come, it's because you know that the Queen Mother will take care of the royal brother. Qin Lin said with a smile.

"Your brothers, but you are very single-minded." Empress Dowager Han smiled. It's just that the smile never reaches the bottom of the eye.

"If you are not in good health, you have to go out for a walk and relax." Empress Dowager Han asked about Emperor Longqing's condition with concern. I was very relieved.

Emperor Longqing responded to it, but he was always a little out of the world, and his attitude was quite cold.

Emperor Longqing's body seems to be rarely hot, but Ji Xiaotang once paid attention to the fact that the last time in the imperial garden, between Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han, it was not like this.

I don't know what's going on these days. So that there was a gap between the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing?

Empress Dowager Han said a few more words, and the banquet officially began.

At the banquet, there were alternative beauties who stepped forward to show their talents. There are those who play the piano, those who sing, those who dance, and those who write poems and write in public. It makes the whole banquet very elegant.

Ji Xiaotang naturally had no intention of watching the beauties' performances. And she discovers that she is not alone.

First of all, it is Emperor Longqing, although the person is sitting there, it is obvious that the spirit does not know where to fly, and everything in the hall seems to have nothing to do with him at all.

Empress Dowager Han was also a little distracted, she looked at Emperor Longqing from time to time, obviously more of her mind was on Emperor Longqing.

Qin Zhen didn't look at anyone. He only looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang looked around and found it. No one was really watching the show, even if they weren't.

The feast soon came to an end.

Empress Dowager Han said that the harem was not rich in heirs, and then counted Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, saying that they were unwilling to work hard for the royal family. Qin Lin is okay there, but there is only one single seedling, and Qin Zhen is there, but he doesn't even have a concubine.

Qin Zhen glanced at Ji Xiaotang and was about to get up, but Qin Lin grabbed ahead of him.

Qin Lin got up and saluted the Empress Dowager Han.

"The Queen Mother taught a very good lesson." Qin Lin bowed down and said, "Erchen respectfully obeys the instructions of the Queen Mother and wants to ask the Queen Mother for a favor." ”

"Oh, what grace?" Empress Dowager Han asked.

"Erchen asked the Queen Mother to point out the Lord of Anle County to Erchen." Qin Lin said loudly.

Qin Lin's voice landed, and before the Empress Dowager Han could react, Qin Zhen got up and saluted the Empress Dowager Han.

"Erchen asked the Queen Mother to point out Xiaotang's sister to Erchen. Erchen had already asked the Queen Mother for this grace, but the Queen Mother never gave her a final answer. "Qin Zhen's meaning, he asked for this grace, and it was before Qin Lin.

If you pay attention to first-come, first-served, you should also point out Ji Xiaotang to him.

Qin Lin was not in a hurry.

"Fang Cai's sons and brothers are in the Qianqing Palace, and the sons and daughters also asked the emperor for this favor."

It turned out that Qin Lin and Emperor Longqing were late, because they were talking about it in the Qianqing Palace.

The two princes, at the banquet, both asked the Empress Dowager Han to marry Ji Xiaotang to them, and the beauties in the hall were a little dumbfounded. And Ji Xiaotang, the central figure of the topic, naturally received countless glances.

Ji Xiaotang thought that neither Qin Lin nor Qin Zhen would give up on her. But the fact that the two of them brought it up like this at the banquet still surprised her a little. At this time, it would be strange if nothing happened.

Ji Xiaotang's appearance was a little restrained.

After Qin Lin said that he had asked Emperor Longqing for grace, everyone's eyes fell on Emperor Longqing. Empress Dowager Han was also silently asking Emperor Longqing.

"The third brother did mention it to me." Emperor Longqing confirmed Qin Lin's words.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Dowager Han's face stiffened slightly, and then she smiled, "Your Majesty must not have answered you, otherwise, you wouldn't have come to ask me for grace!" ”

"My Fair Lady, good gentleman, I was about to discuss this matter with the Queen Mother." Emperor Longqing said.

His answer confirmed Empress Dowager Han's guess.

Empress Dowager Han's smile was even kinder.

"Your brothers all asked to marry Xiaotang, which really made it very difficult for Your Majesty and me." Empress Dowager Han said slowly, this sentence is reasonable, not to mention that it is in the emperor's family, it is the ordinary people's family that this situation occurs, and it is also difficult for people to make decisions.

"The two of you are both brothers of His Majesty, but there is only one Xiaotang, which one should I give it to?" Empress Dowager Han did seem very embarrassed.

"I met Xiaotang first, and I also asked the Queen Mother for advice first. Naturally, Xiaotang should be pointed at me. Qin Zhen said.

"Although the fourth brother met Xiaotang first, I knew Xiaotang. I not only asked the Queen Mother for her will, but also expressed my heart to Her Majesty first. Moreover, Xiaotang and I are more accompanied. Qin Lin said.

"I also like Sister Xiaotang very much." Zheng Gui actually laughed at this time.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin actually fought in front of everyone.

Empress Dowager Han looked at it with a smile for a while, and suddenly bluffed.

"What kind of system, you are not children anymore, and you are not fighting for a candy!" When Empress Dowager Han said this, Qin Zhen and Qin Lin kept their mouths shut for the time being. "You two are also used to being mourned. It's not as good as a three-year-old child, and I don't know the word courtesy. ”

Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, meaning to see who made a humble concession.

"I can let the fourth brother do other things, but this is the only thing ......"

"I can let the third brother do other things, only this one ......"

Qin Lin and Qin Zhen actually said the same thing.

"You two are getting more and more unpresentable. The elders and the young are humble, you can put your majesty and your royal brother in your eyes! Empress Dowager Han reprimanded.

Qin Lin and Qin Zhen both lowered their heads.

The selection of female officials this time is to enrich the harem of Emperor Longqing. Before Emperor Longqing could pick and choose, Qin Lin and Qin Zhen grabbed people first, which was indeed a bit unusual.

Therefore, Qin Zhen and Qin Lin both bowed their heads and stopped talking, but their demeanors showed that they would definitely not give up on Ji Xiaotang because of this.

"That's it, that's it, I'm old, I'm old, and I'm going to worry about you." Seeing the two of them like this, Empress Dowager Han's tone softened, as if she was angry with her children and grandchildren, but she couldn't bear to treat her children and grandchildren like a loving old man.

Empress Dowager Han stood up and let everyone disperse.

The banquet in Cining Palace ended like this.

And the hearts of all the people were hanging. (To be continued......)
