Chapter 56: The princess asks for help
Princess Ji Shao thought alone for a long time, but decided to escape from Zheng Guo so that she could have a chance to survive. Although it is not a small risk to be a woman, she is a princess, and she has also attracted some forces and friends in Xinzheng for so many years, and there are many people who are willing to help her with their hearts and brains.
In addition to being confident that someone will help her, it is more important to be uncertain whether Qiu Yue, who is on death row, will confess herself and her scheme. This is her current death hole, and if she confesses, she will definitely send herself to the gallows.
Even if she was caught when she fled, it was much better than being caught in Yayun Pavilion, at least it would not let outsiders confirm the fact that she was a girl in the Qinglou, which was also an important reason why Princess Ji Shao was determined to escape.
But now how to escape has become a problem, at least she can't get out of the gate of Yayun Pavilion ---- the first pass, and if she forcibly breaks through, she will definitely be caught by the nursing home.
If you can't break in, then there is only one way: beg the bustard mother to let her out.
As a last resort, Princess Ji Shao invited the bustard mother to the embroidery room in Qiuyue again.
"Mom, Princess Ji Shao and I are like sisters, now she is in trouble, I can't sit idly by, beg my mother to let me go out and find someone to save her." Princess Ji Shao said that with her personality, it was the first time to ask for someone.
"Miss Qiuyue, I advise you not to worry about this. If you are not the girl of Yayun Pavilion, then it is better to say that with your current identity to save people, it will inevitably involve the unexplained relationship between the princess and Yayun Pavilion, which is tantamount to fighting the fire with a salary, which will only make the fire burn more and more, and even provoke the fire. Bustard said, I have to say that this reason is really irrefutable.
"Of course, I won't be the one to do this, I'll delegate it to others. But if I don't go to him, how will he know? ”
"Princess Ji Shao is King Mu's favorite person, and there is no one who can save her except King Mu now. But now that King Mu is angry, I am afraid that the persuasion of outsiders will be misunderstood as interfering in family affairs, which will add fuel to the fire of King Mu who is angry. If King Mu really loves his daughter, he may be relieved for a few days. ”
Princess Ji Shao didn't know this, but if Qiuyue confessed to the bag drop between them, it would be tantamount to confirming her bad deeds in the Qinglou, so it was another matter, with her father's strictness, she would never tolerate this kind of family ugliness to tarnish her image, which was also the reason why she was determined to escape.
"Mom, there are some things that I can't explain clearly, I have to go out now, you can say what conditions you have." Princess Ji Shao was very helpless, so she had to lower her body again and beg the bustard mother.
"Conditions? Qiuyue girl, I didn't let you out when Feng Yajian opened a hundred catties of gold, if you really want to go out, at ten times this price, I will definitely let you out. The bustard gave an impossible price and wanted to break her thoughts.
"Mom, the gold is gold, and the public money in the treasury is nothing more than that, how can there be so much in the autumn moon?"
"Then you can tell me the number yourself, and let me see how much you estimate yourself?"
"Since Feng Yajian has paid a price of 100 catties, Qiuyue will double the price for you, can you?" Princess Ji Shao didn't know that Qiu Yue had reached an agreement with Bustard Niang for a ransom of twenty-five catties of gold.
Two hundred catties of gold, Bustard Niang's heart was already happy, but she thought that since you begged me, it was better to raise the price again: "No, Qiuyue girl, you are the top card and pillar of Yayun Pavilion, without three hundred catties of gold, I will not let you go out." ”
"It's up to you, Mom. But I don't have it on hand, you let me go out and get it, I don't have a lot of yours. ”
"Yes, but I have to arrange for a couple of nursing homes to accompany you." The bustard saw through her trick and wanted me to listen to your empty promise to let you out? It's too underestimated, right?
As soon as she heard that the bustard mother said that she would send someone to keep an eye on her, Princess Ji Shao was discouraged again. It's not that she can't raise 300 catties of gold, but now according to her public identity, she should be a prisoner on death row, let alone 300 catties, it is difficult to get 300 catties.
"That's it, Mom, I'll give you an IOU first, and I'll compensate you later."
"Miss Qiuyue, if you think about it from my point of view, will I agree? You're flying away, who am I going to with this IOU? ”
"Mom, I'm not going to pay my bills. To tell you the truth, in fact, I am the princess Ji Shao, the one who is on death row is the girl Qiuyue, I have several palaces in Xinzheng, the value of these palaces is far more than three hundred catties of gold, if you let me go today and save my life, there will be a good reward in the future. With that, Princess Ji Shao took out her princess token from her arms.
Although it is risky to disclose your true identity to the bustard, it is indeed a last resort. Before Princess Ji Shao, she had considered whether Bustard Niang would have the possibility of betraying herself, although it could not be ruled out, but if she really did this, the risk of her and Yayun Pavilion was not small, because the princess's influence and appeal in Xinzheng could not be ignored, and the princess was not something that ordinary people could offend casually, even if it was a princess who was unlucky.
As soon as she saw the princess token, the bustard mother was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The princess is above, please spare the villain." ”
It was then that the bustard understood why she reacted so strongly when she heard that the princess had been put on death row.
"In that case, you can let me go, right?" Princess Ji Shao said.
Bustard Niang thought about it, although she is a princess, but now she should be regarded as a prisoner who has slipped through the net, and the tiger has fallen into Pingyang, what kind of princess is she putting on the shelf? Besides, with her being so beautiful and eye-catching, if she goes out, she will definitely be caught, and the court will hold her accountable for letting go of the prisoner. It's better to leave her in Yayun Pavilion and continue to pretend not to know, even if Qiu Yue confesses the secret of the two of them and comes here to arrest someone, she won't blame herself.
"Miss Qiuyue, it's better for you to stay in Yayun Pavilion, it's not safe for you to go out so beautifully, there are a lot of people outside who beat your idea." Bustard said.
"I told you just now, I'm Princess Ji Shao." Princess Ji Shao is colorful.
"I don't know Princess Ji Shao, in the embroidery room of Yayun Pavilion, there has never been a princess as a girl, don't scare me." The bustard mother simply came to death and refused to admit that she knew that she was a princess.
"Old treacherous and cunning guy, don't forget that I am a princess, my father favors me the most, sooner or later I will pass this level, are you not afraid that I will let you not be able to eat and walk around?" Princess Ji Shao was angry and said unceremoniously.
"Oh, Miss Autumn Moon, I can't afford to say that. I'm really good for you, think about it, you are a little girl, she looks like a flower, and it is estimated that she will be caught in less than an hour when you go out, and you can rest assured that you will never be caught here. When this storm passes, don't you want the wind to be windy, to rain and rain? Bustard said.
"Mom, even if I beg you, I really have to go out, and I will repay you twice as much in the future." Princess Ji Shao was helpless, so she had to beg the bustard. When she started begging the bustard, she hadn't indicated her princess identity, but Qiuyue was begging her, but now the bustard girl already knew her princess identity, and even the princess herself was secretly scolding herself for being cheap.
"Miss Qiuyue, don't beg me, this matter is really not negotiable. There's something downstairs, I have to go. With that, the bustard mother hurriedly opened the door and went out. She didn't want to stay any longer, and she was worried that the princess would say something cruel in a hurry, although she knew that the princess would not be able to protect herself now, but she could not expect that one day would come; Second, there are some things that the less you know, the safer you are.
When she arrived downstairs, Bustard Niang immediately gave two instructions: one was to order the nursing home to strengthen the guard from now on, and not to let any girl from Yayun Pavilion go out; The second is that any guest who wants to see Miss Qiuyue will be blocked on the grounds that Miss Qiuyue is not in good health.
