281. 281. Beg to go
Qingyun hugged Lin'er and Mo Xuan just came to the front hall door, and before they entered the door, Zike greeted her, saying that Princess Yongle took Qiu He back to the palace half an hour ago, and her mood seemed to be a little wrong, and Qiu He also wanted to speak and stopped, Zi Ke knew that there was something wrong, and after some investigation, she learned that Princess Yongle had been in contact with Mrs. Lin before leaving, but she didn't know what the two said.
Qingyun frowned when she heard this, it seemed that Mrs. Lin must have chewed the root of her tongue in front of Zhi Lan, so Zhi Lan would not wait for her to suddenly return to the palace alone.
instructed Zike and the others to continue to greet the guests, and dissuaded Mo Xuan, who wanted to accompany him, and Qingyun rushed back to the palace with Lin'er and Lan Jue Lupo.
"Princess, in front of you are the two fathers-in-law Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lizi, it seems that they are going to leave the palace."
On the way back to the palace, Qingyun kept his expression solemn, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and suddenly heard Lan Jue's voice outside the carriage, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Uncle Leng's cronies and eunuchs Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lizi driving the carriage towards the palace gate, so they ordered Lan Jue to stop.
"You are not on an errand in the palace, is there anything wrong with leaving the palace at this time?"
The sharp-eyed Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lizi saw Qingyun's exclusive carriage coming towards the palace gate from afar, hurriedly reined in the horses, jumped out of the carriage, trotted to the carriage window, knelt down and said respectfully: "The slave sees the ninth princess, the ninth princess Jin'an!" Mr. Leng ordered the two servants to come to welcome the ninth princess to the Mingde Palace, and Princess Yongle was also there at this time. ”
"Let's go." Qingyun beckoned Xiao Linzi to get into the carriage, and Lan Jue immediately whipped his horse and drove towards the Mingde Palace, while Xiao Lizi followed behind with their carriage.
Inside the Mingde Palace.
Looking at Zhilan who was kneeling in front of him with a determined face, Emperor Huiwen was full of pity and helplessness.
At the beginning, she insisted on marrying Lin Tao as she is now, and even begged him to fulfill it at the cost of dying, but she was widowed at a young age, and now she is ...... Why is this kid so ill-fated?
"Slave maid see the ninth princess, the ninth princess Jin An!" Qiu He, who was left outside the palace gate by Zhilan, saw Qingyun coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and salute.
"Get up."
"Princess Xie Jiu!" Qiu He stood up and said anxiously: "Ninth princess, princess, she ......"
"This palace already knows the way." Qingyun nodded, ordered Lan Jue and Lu Po to stay at the door, and walked into the main hall with Lin'er in his arms.
After the imperial case, Emperor Huiwen saw his beloved daughter walking in with the imperial grandson, his sad face suddenly disappeared, and he got up to greet his beloved daughter and said kindly: "Jiu'er is back." Then he bowed his head to Zhilan, who was kneeling on the ground, and winked at his beloved daughter.
Leave this matter to Jiu'er to deal with, I really have nothing to do.
I don't know if it's because of his poor popularity, or because he doesn't have the majesty of being a husband and father, the harem concubines and children are not very afraid of him, but I don't know when the beloved daughter is just a look, a word, so that the harem concubines and children are respectful, don't dare to disobey, of course, the concubine is an exception.
Nodding slightly, signaling Emperor Huiwen to rest assured, Qingyun held the sleeping Lin'er with one hand, and sat down behind the imperial case with Emperor Huiwen's arm with the other, and then turned to look at Zhilan: "Zhilan, can you tell me, why did you suddenly make this decision?" ”
Xiao Lizi has already made it clear to her, Zhilan asked to see her father this time, she asked her father to let her go to the temple to recite scriptures and worship the Buddha, and surpass Lin Tao's soul.
As soon as she heard it, she knew that this was definitely not Zhilan's intention, but was instigated and even persecuted by Mrs. Lin.
There are still three months before Zhilan turns fifteen years old, which is the age when Fanghua is in full bloom, but I didn't expect Mrs. Lin to force Zhilan to spend the rest of her long life in a place like an anthem, and she is really a snake and scorpion poisonous woman.
"Hui Jiu Princess" heard the anger, pity, and disapproval in Qingyun's tone, Zhi Lan was moved and sad in her heart: "The courtier, as the wife of the concubine, should have gone to the temple to spend the undead of the concubine when the concubine died, and the emperor and the nine princes were sympathetic to the frail courtiers and took them back to the palace to recuperate, and the courtiers felt inexhaustible. ”
She is the daughter of the enemy who murdered Sister Yun's mother, but Sister Yun has always really loved her and cared for her, on the other hand, those so-called relatives of her, except for using her, no one has really cared about her and cared about her, so she naturally has to do her best to protect Sister Yun and repay Sister Yun's love for her.
It's just that she has been married into the Lin Mansion for so long, and she has never been able to find that kind of thing, and Sister Yun has left her in the palace to protect her, so she can't go back to the Lin Mansion to continue looking for that kind of thing, so everything she did before is meaningless.
Hearing that Zhilan actually called herself a 'courtier', Qingyun couldn't believe it and was saddened.
"It's understandable that you want to overkill the undead of the horses, but the conditions in the temple are extremely poor, I really don't worry about you going there, so let's let people clean a palace and come out, and then invite the teachers and wives of Cining Nunnery to enter the palace to chant sutras, so that you can not only overtake the horses but also ensure your safety, which can be described as the best of both worlds."
"Don't ......," Zhilan blurted out.
Qingyun raised his eyebrows: "Don't want anything?" ”
Seeing the regret and doubt in Qingyun's deep eyes, Zhi Lan lowered her eyes and thought about it: "What the courtiers mean, the palace is a sacred place, and the concubine is just a commoner, and he must not do things for him in the palace, otherwise the imperial historians will write a book of impeachment, and the emperor and the nine princesses will have every opportunity, and the courtiers and others will chant and worship the Buddha in the harem, and they will definitely disturb the emperor and the nine princesses to deal with government affairs and rest, and the courtiers are deeply panicked." ”
"Zhilan ......"
"The courtiers thank the emperor and the ninth princess for their love, but the courtiers can't let the emperor and the ninth princess break the ancestral rules because of the courtiers, so the courtiers will not be able to redeem their blame!" Zhilan kowtowed heavily.
"What Lan'er said is not unreasonable." Emperor Huiwen suddenly spoke: "Jiu'er, just follow Lan'er's wishes." ”
Qingyun was shocked, her father loved Zhilan as much as she did, how could she bear Zhilan to suffer in that kind of place?
So he looked sideways at Emperor Huiwen, seeing that he looked at Zhi Lan's eyes with pity and helplessness, Qingyun couldn't help but think about it, and after swallowing the words to dissuade Zhi Lan, he turned his eyes to look at Zhi Lan: "Since you are determined to do so, I will no longer persuade you, but you can only go to Cining Nunnery, if not, this matter will be stopped." ”
Cining Nunnery is a royal temple, ordinary people dare not do anything wrong in Cining Nunnery, and there is a highly respected meditation master who takes care of Zhi Lan too much, and she sends someone to secretly protect Zhi Lan, even if Mrs. Lin tries her best, she can't hurt Zhi Lan for half a point, so that even if she is not in the capital, she can rest assured.
understands that this is Sister Yun's biggest concession, and also understands that Sister Yun wants to protect her, after all, Cining Nunnery is not an ordinary temple, and there are troops stationed a few miles away, once someone dares to make trouble in Cining Nunnery, the army will arrive quickly within half an hour, Zhilan was moved to tears: Only Sister Yun will arrange everything for her thoroughly, meticulously.
"The courtiers thank the emperor and the nine princesses for their longen!"
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest first, I'll send you to Cining Nunnery early tomorrow morning." She had to personally entrust Zhilan to the meditation master to rest assured.
Zhilan's expression was stunned: "Sister Yun......"
"This is the will of this palace, and Zhilan must not have any objections!" Qingyun frowned, not angry.
For the first time, Sister Yun was so majestic and solemn to herself, Zhi Lan trembled, and then lowered her head and said in awe: "The courtiers obey the order!" The courtiers retired! After saying that, he kowtowed and left.
"Zhilan, no matter what happens, you remember that you will always be my good sister!" Suddenly there was a light cloud voice behind him, as if the night breeze blowing outside the hall at this time, the words penetrated into Zhilan's heart, pity and helplessness......
With just this sentence, Zhilan's steps to leave suddenly stopped, her expression was moved and sad, tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't help but want to turn around and go back, and threw herself into Sister Yun's arms and cried bitterly, but it was precisely because of Sister Yun's love for her that she became more and more determined to find that kind of thing, so she bit her lip, covered up all her tears, and left the Mingde Hall completely.
"Lan'er must have her own reasons for doing this, Jiu'er, don't be sad anymore." Looking at the back of Zhilan leaving, Emperor Huiwen sighed slightly.
"Erchen knows the way, it's just ......"
In fact, Qingyun was also very uncomfortable in her heart, she once thought that Zhilan married into the Lin family to protect those relatives, but now it seems that things are far from being as simple as she thought.
This time, Zhilan insisted on going to the temple, although she was instigated and persecuted by Mrs. Lin, but she didn't know why, she always felt that Zhilan wanted to leave the palace, and the reason was unknown.
"Zhilan is still young, how can she be buried in the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha in the long life in the future, how unfair is this to Zhilan?" Qingyun's deep voice was full of anger and pity.
Zhi Lan is pure and lovely, she should have lived a carefree life, if it weren't for the concubines, how could Zhi Lan bear these unbearable pains?
Emperor Huiwen sighed again when he heard this, blaming the sky for making people, Lan'er has a mother like a concubine, but he pitied the innocent Lan'er.
"When does Jiu'er plan to leave for Zhou Kingdom?"
"In a few days." Qingyun swept away his heavy heart, turned his eyes to Emperor Huiwen and said with a smile: "Erchen has to arrange some things before he can leave with confidence." Why, the father is reluctant to give up his sons? ”
Emperor Huiwen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Of course I can't bear Jiu'er, think about not seeing Jiu'er in a year, I regret not being at the beginning." After speaking, he beat his chest and stood, with a look of remorse, which caused Qingyun to laugh, and Leng Yi rolled his eyes.
"The sons and daughters are reluctant to give up their father and Uncle Leng." Seeing that the two of them opened their mouths at the same time and wanted to say something, Qingyun hurriedly said: "Father Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, you can't go back!" Don't worry, I will often write to my father and Uncle Leng to report my safety. ”
"Words count!"
"Hmm."
Zhilan took Qiu He on the way back to Yuhua Palace, when a tall figure suddenly appeared, blocking the way for the two.
