Concubine Rong looked at her who couldn't laugh herself, came over and patted her on the back, and said, "Okay." All right. Hongu knows you're happy...... Now that the storm has passed, what are you going to do with that Luo Xiulan? ”

Qing Mu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Niangniang, Qing Mu wants to thank you." If you hadn't appeared in time, Qing Mu would have been speechless, even if it was my brother, I am afraid he would not be able to protect Qing Mu. ”

Concubine Rong smiled indifferently and was about to speak, when a voice came from afar, "Who is it that is so presumptuous in my imperial garden."

Qing Mu raised his eyes and saw that it was the emperor who walked over slowly, and said with a smile as he walked: "Uncle Emperor, it's Qing Mu." ”

"Concubine, see the emperor."

"Slave maid, see the emperor."

"Qingmu, see the emperor."

Everyone knelt forward and bowed in unison. The emperor pulled Qing Mu over, glanced at everyone, and said, "Let's all be flat." Now it's not above the court, there are not so many rules.

After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to look at Concubine Rong, with a little doubt in his heart, and asked, "Concubine Rong, why are you with Qing Mu and you don't inform me." ”

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine just came back from King Yi's Mansion and rescued your precious niece from the tiger's mouth." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was puzzled, pulled Qing Mu and asked, "Qing Mu, what's going on?" Who is so bold as to dare to bully you? ”

Hong Luo thought in his heart, complained for the county lord, and blurted out: "It's not that second aunt Luo Xiulan." ”

"It's her again." The emperor said angrily, and as he spoke, he patted Qing Mu and said, "Qing Mu, don't worry, I will make decisions for you in this matter." ”

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "Uncle Emperor, this matter has always been a family matter of King Yi's Mansion, so don't interfere." ”

The emperor stared at Qing Mu for a while, turned his face to look at Hong Luo, and asked, "Hong Luo, you say, what's going on?" ”

Hong Luo stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's like this......"

After a while, Hong Luo reported the ins and outs of this matter to the emperor one by one, and the more the emperor listened, the more angry he became, and said angrily: "This Luo Xiulan, relying on her father is a relative of the emperor, is so presumptuous.

I don't take the law of my Bo Lianguo seriously, Luo Xiulan dares to slander the daughter of King Yi's mansion, Qing Mu is originally my cousin's child, and she is also considered royal blood, slandering Qing Mu is to smear the royal face, and it must be dealt with strictly. Come. ”

Father-in-law De stepped forward nervously and replied, "The slave is here." ”

The emperor said loudly: "Passing on my will, Luo Xiulan of the Yi Wangfu did not repent, and repeatedly slandered the concubine of the Yi Wangfu. Qing Muzhen is especially fond of it, and treats it as her own, like her own daughter.

Luo Xiulan slandered Qing Mu in public, that is, slandered the royal family. Luo Xiulan needs to kneel down and apologize to Qing Mu in public, plus a hundred canes. He also publicly admitted that he would not commit it again in the future, and if he did it again in the future, he would be handed over to the Los Angeles government for justice. ”

Father-in-law De knelt down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

Qing Mu glanced at the emperor and said worriedly: "Uncle, will the punishment be too heavy?" ”

Hong Luo hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is true. This kind of wicked person should have this kind of retribution. ”

The emperor smiled faintly, glanced at Qing Mu, and said, "What Hong Luo said is right, if you don't give her a little bit of power, maybe there will be more terrible things waiting for you in the future, is that what Qing Mu is happy to see?" ”

Qing Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor." Turning around and seeing Concubine Rong waiting on the side, she glanced at the emperor and said with a smile: "Uncle, then I and Hong Luo will leave first." Hurry up and stay with my Concubine Rong. ”

As he spoke, his face was filled with a wicked smile, and he pulled Hong Luo and ran towards the other side of the Imperial Garden.

The emperor was stunned, and before he came back to his senses, the two had disappeared without a trace, Concubine Rong stepped forward to help the emperor and said, "Oops." Look at this girl, she is spoiled by you, and she is getting less and less big or small. ”

The emperor laughed and said, "I like her innocent energy." Concubine Rong, thank you this time. ”

Concubine Rong shook her head and said, "It is a blessing for the concubines to be able to share the emperor's worries." Moreover, the concubine also likes Qing Mu, and Qing Mu sent someone to ask the concubine, so I can't help but help. Your Majesty, did you say that? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. In short, you're right. Let's go, let's go back to the Yuqing Palace. The emperor said, holding Concubine Rong's little hand, and slowly walked towards Concubine Rong's dormitory, Yuqing Palace.

Qing Mu took Hong Luo to walk around the palace again, thinking of today's happy things, and his heart was happy. happily walked out of the palace and prepared to return to King Yi's mansion to see how this despicable Luo Xiulan ended.

Hong Luo followed behind Qing Mu, bouncing and smiling brightly, and his heart was happier than eating honey. Qing Mu glanced at Hong Luo and said with a smile: "Red Luo." The lord of this county is right. Now that you are beaten, is there no Qing to suffer? ”

Hong Luo smiled and said, "County Lord." For the sake of the county lord, even if he is a Qing Qing, Hong Luo is also willing. ”

Qing Mu flicked her head lightly with her fingers, and said with a smile: "You follow the county lord, how can you suffer." In the future, you can't say anything like this. Today in front of the emperor, talking nonsense, I haven't punished you yet. ”

When Hong Luo heard this, he pouted, stepped forward, pulled the corner of Qing Mu's clothes, and said softly: "County Lord, Hong Luo is watching them bully you all the time, Hong Luo was angry in his heart, so he didn't control his mouth for a while and said it." ”

Qing Mu smiled slightly and said, "Okay." I all know, let's go, let's go home. With that, the two held hands and walked into King Yi's mansion.

The two walked slowly in the garden of King Yi's mansion, Qing Mu thought for a moment in his heart, and made up his mind to go and see this Luo Xiulan, now to see what else she has to say.

Yunwang Mansion: Yunwang Mu Yuan is leisurely sipping tea in the garden of the palace, looking at the hibiscus flowers in the garden, he doesn't feel particularly happy in his heart. Suddenly, someone came over to report: "The second prince of King Yi's mansion, Qing Han, asks to see him." ”

Mu Yuan was shocked and asked, "Did he say anything?" ”

"No, I just looked at him in a panic, as if something had happened, and he was very anxious." That's a report.

"Let him go back, just say that the palace is not in the mansion, let him come back next time." Mu Yuan said loudly.

The man replied, "Yes." The subordinates retired. ”

The subordinates hurriedly walked out of the Yunwang Mansion, sent Xiao Gongzi away, and returned to the Yiwang Mansion in a gloomy manner, his mood was extremely low, if the Yunwang did not come forward, now he was afraid that his mother would not be able to escape the responsibility.

The next day, the sun was shining, which was perhaps a rare warm weather before winter, so I woke up early in the morning.

Today is a big day, the emperor's decree is coming soon, and now, seeing that the opponent who has been fighting against him is about to disappear, and there will be no return, Qing Mu feels a little pity for Luo Xiulan, a vicious woman.

It can only be said that this woman is brave and unscrupulous, and it is not good for Yi Wangfu to offend anyone, but to offend the smartest and wisest county lord, it can be regarded as self-inflicted.

Qing Mu took Hong Luo, and after having breakfast with Qing Lun, he went to the council room, intending to ask his father first how to deal with Luo Xiulan.

I'm afraid that now that my father doesn't know about the Holy Decree, maybe the entire Yi Wangfu will not be at peace later. It's better to let my father be mentally prepared in advance, otherwise it will be embarrassing for my father and the face of King Yi's mansion.

Qing Mu walked into the conference hall, and Qing Lun and Hong Luo followed closely and also walked in. Qing Zhen saw Qing Mu walk in, smiled on his face, and said, "Qing Mu, you are here." ”

Qing Mu nodded and said, "Daddy." Are you okay? ”

"No problem. Qingmu, daddy, please let your second aunt go, after all, we are a family. Qing Zhen looked up at his daughter and said with a pleading look.

"Daddy. It's not that her daughter is unkind, when did the second aunt treat her daughter as a family?

The daughter even suspected that all of this was carefully arranged by her, the black-clothed assassins, driving Hong Luo out of the house, wronging Hong Luo for stealing the jade rosary, and colluding with outsiders and so on. Qing Mu said indignantly.

Qing Zhen shook his head in disappointment, lowered his head gloomily, and did not speak again. Qing Han walked into the conference hall, glanced at Qing Mu, didn't say anything, thinking about going to Yunwang Mansion yesterday, he went with hope but ate a closed door, and suddenly felt that his face was gloomy.

There was a crowd of people standing in the council room, but it was terrifyingly quiet, as if they had committed some serious mistake and were waiting for heaven's punishment.

Qing Lun looked at his depressed father, and felt a little unbearable, so he walked up to Qing Mu, patted her, and motioned her to comfort her father, Qing Mu slowly shook his head.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall, "The Holy Decree has arrived." ”

Everyone looked outside the hall one after another, and Qing Zhenden was stunned, and sure enough, he was worried that the worst consequences would always befall the head of King Yi's mansion.

It seems that this matter can no longer be good, and now what I have done is not only sorry for my daughter, but also sorry for my deceased wife, and the regret in my heart seems to be too late.

Gonggong De held the holy decree in his hand, slowly walked into the council hall, and said loudly: "General Qing Zhen, Qing Mu, Qing Lun, step forward to receive the order." ”

Qing Zhen hurriedly knelt forward and bowed: "The old minister takes the order." Qing Mu and Qing Lun also bowed down with their father.

Gonggong De opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "Feng, heaven carriers, the emperor said, I heard that the daughter of the Yi Wangfu, who is also my own niece, has been wronged and slandered by Luo Xiulan of the Yi Wangfu many times, and I am very heartbroken.

Qing Muzhen is especially fond of it, treating it as her own, like her own daughter. Luo Xiulan dared to slander her daughter in public, that is, to slander the royal face.

I specially ordered Luo Xiulan to kneel down and apologize to Qing Mu in public, and scolded one hundred canes. Luo Xiulan also needs to promise in public that she will not commit it again, and if she does it again, she will be handed over to the Los Angeles Government for justice, and no one will be allowed to interfere. Chin this. ”

After listening to the holy decree, Qing Zhen's face changed color, and he glanced at Qing Mu in a flash.

Father-in-law De looked at Qing Zhen and said, "King Qing Yi, don't hurry up and accept the order, the Sprinkle family will have to go back to the palace to restore your life." ”

Qing Zhen slowly raised his head, took the holy decree, and said, "Thank you, your emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"King Qingyi. Sprinkle family and say a word to you, so do it yourself. Degong was fair, turned around and walked out of the council hall as he spoke, leaving the Yi Palace.

Qing Zhen looked at the departing father-in-law, turned his face to see Qing Mu, patted the holy decree lightly with his hand, and asked, "Qing Mu, this is the result you want?" Luo Xiulan is punished, will you be happy in your heart? ”

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "Daddy, you can't blame your daughter for this, the second aunt is aggressive, and she doesn't leave any room for her daughter at all, and the emperor knows about it, so he can't blame his daughter." ”

"Qingmu, daddy begs you, plead with the emperor, Xiulan is our family after all, do you have to fight to the death to be satisfied?" Qing Zhen whispered earnestly.

Qing Mu shook his arm and said helplessly: "Daddy, it's not that Qing Mu refuses to ask the emperor, now that the holy decree has been issued, Qing Mu is written in black letters, even if Qing Mu goes to ask the emperor, the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, how can there be a gift to take back."

The daughter thinks that it is better to persuade the second aunt so that she can repent is more effective than begging the emperor. With that, Qing Mu pulled Hong Luo to get up and slowly walked out of the council hall and returned to his own courtyard.

Qing Zhen saw Qing Mu's determination, he was very angry, and walked up to Qing Lun again, and said: "Lun'er, Qing Mu listens to you the most, you go and help Daddy persuade her, let her spare Xiulan this time." ”

Qing Lun shook his head and said, "Daddy." This time you and the second aunt are indeed too much, Lun'er can go to persuade Qingmu, but I am afraid that she may not be able to listen. You're really breaking her heart.

He looked at his father, saw Hua Qing's hair, and couldn't bear it, and said, "Lun'er can try it." But I can't guarantee it, my father still persuaded the second aunt, hoping that she would do it herself. ”

After Qing Lun finished speaking, he also walked out of the council hall and walked towards Qing Mu's Yayuan, and suddenly, Qian Ning came over and said in a low voice: "General, my subordinates have found out that the person who led Qin colluded with was Wang Lin, the strategist of Yunwang Mansion. ”

Qing Lun was very surprised, and said in a low voice: "Qian Ning, don't make a noise about this matter, I'm afraid that this matter is not so simple, you go back first." Another day, we'll plan in detail and see what to do with the traitors in this house. ”

Qian Ning nodded affirmatively and said, "General, help me say hello to the Grand County Lord." ”

Qing Lun smiled lightly and said, "Okay." You go down first. ”

Qing Lun walked straight into Yayuan and shouted, "Qing Mu, are you there?" ”

"I'm in the house, brother, come in." Qing Mu replied.

Qing Lun gently pushed open the door, walked into Qing Mu's boudoir, thought for a moment in his heart, walked over, and said, "Qing Mu, I see that my father is a lot older, can I let go of the second aunt this time?" ”

Qing Mu shook his head slowly and said, "Brother, Qing Mu was almost beheaded because of that assassin incident, and now she was wronged by the second aunt and slandered Qing Qing by her, you say, can Qing Mu forgive her so easily?"

Moreover, Qing Mu always felt that this assassin was brought in by the second aunt Qing Han in collusion with outsiders. ”

Qing Lun was taken aback and said, "The second aunt is not like words, she dares to bully Qing Mu like this, she really deserves it." However, whether there is evidence for collusion with outsiders, this kind of thing cannot be talked about nonsense. ”

Qing Mu nodded and said: "Brother, if there is evidence, the nature will be completely different, the crime of beheading is here, it is a traitor to the Yi Palace." ”

"Good. My brother knows, you don't care about this matter for the time being, my brother will definitely find out. Qing Lun said lightly.

"Brother. Thank you. Qing Mu looked at Qing Lun with a smile and said gratefully.

"Well, Qingmu, let's rest first. Brother, if there is anything to do if you leave first, let Qian Ning inform me. Qing Lun confessed.

"Got it."

After three days, gradually, the weather became cooler and the wind became much colder. The morning light accompanied by the cold wind blew on the face like a knife, and the willow branches on the side of the road swayed in the wind, and the dry branches made a clicking sound.

There was a depression in King Yi's mansion, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, making everyone feel that winter was coming.

In the past few days, Qing Mu and Hong Luo have been in a very good mood, and now there is no one in King Yi's mansion to find trouble for themselves, and the world is finally quiet, even if it is already cold outside, the hearts of the two are warm.

Qing Mu and the others were about to go out, but they were startled by the guards who came in a hurry, and Hong Luo said angrily: "It's not big or small, you scared the county lord." ”

The guard was nervous and panicked, "My subordinates should die." The subordinates are here to inform the county lord that the lord has asked you to go to the compound. ”

Qing Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"The subordinates don't know, but it seems to be about the second grandmother." The Guardian Road.

Qing Mu nodded slowly and said, "Okay." I see, you go down first. ”

When the guards heard this, they thanked each other, turned around and ran out.

Qing Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "Hong Luo, you see that you scared him. Now the guards in the house are afraid of you.

Hong Luo grinned and said, "County Lord, the guards are not afraid of Hong Luo, but afraid of our smart and lovely big county lord." ”

"You're still talking nonsense, your mouth is not covered, see how I clean you up." Qing Mu was happy in his heart, but his mouth was unforgiving, his fingers were slightly curled, and he poked at Hong Luo's waist.

"Oops. County Lord, Hong Luo didn't dare. Hong Luo said hurriedly.

Qing Mu smiled and said: "My Hongluo is not afraid of hitting the board, but I am afraid of itching." Hee-hee. ”

Hong Luo laughed for a while, and said, "County Lord, you said, what is the matter with the master letting us go to the compound?" ”

"Hmm. The lord of this county predicts that his father should fulfill the emperor's holy decree, otherwise the time has passed, and it will be disrespectful to the decree. Qing Mu said lightly.

"Then, county lord, don't you go and see what happened to that Luo Xiulan." Hong Luo asked suspiciously.

"Good. Let's go. Let's go see what happens to the bad guys. Qing Mu said with a smile.

The bleak twilight wind, the winter cold of Posha. There is no hope in the ears, and the eyes are clean. Qing Mu and Hong Luo faced the cold wind, walked into the huge courtyard, and looked at the people standing in the middle.

Qing Mu slowly stepped forward, looked at his father, and shouted, "Daddy." ”

Qing Zhen was depressed in his heart, glanced at Qing Mu, turned to look at Qing Lun, sighed, and said loudly: "Bring the sinner woman Luo Xiulan up." ”

The guards replied, "Yes." Master. ”

After a while, Luo Xiulan was escorted to the middle of the compound by the guards, and Qing Zhen sighed and said: "Luo Xiulan, according to the emperor's will, you need to apologize to Qing Mu in public, and punish him with a hundred rods."

In the future, no one is allowed to commit it again, and if it is done again, it will be directly sent to the Los Angeles government for justice, and no one is allowed to intercede. ”

Luo Xiulang's face changed greatly, and he was speechless, and after a long time, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Qingzhen, and said, "Master, master." You must save Xiulan, if you don't save me, I will definitely die today. ”

Qing Zhen gently let go of Luo Xiulan and took his hand, and said, "Xiulan, it's not that I don't save you, now that the emperor's decree has been issued, there is nothing I can do." ”

Luo Xiulan looked at Qing Zhen listlessly, sighed, knelt and turned to Qing Mu and begged, "Great county lord." The emperor likes you the most, if you plead with the emperor, the emperor will definitely take back his life. ”

Qing Mu said coldly: "Second aunt, are you asking me to resist and disobey?" Who are you, and why did the county take such a big risk to you, risking the crime of killing your head? ”

Luo Xiulan lowered her head helplessly, her eyes were glazed, everyone seemed to be laughing at her usual flying and domineering, but now she ended up so miserable.

She looked around looking for something, but she didn't see Qing Han, her face was like ashes, and she looked down and accepted her fate.

In late autumn, the night is early, and the sunset is like a fire. Nanyan Road is long, and fatigue drifts with the wind.

The cold night is breezy, and Si Junfang's heart is haggard. When I feel tears, my sorrow is like a spring tide.

Before you know it, it's nightfall. The emperor's holy decree has been issued, even if Qing Zhen has the heart to protect Luo Xiulan, he will never dare to disobey the holy decree.

Luo Xiulan's ending, Qing Mu already knew in her heart that there would be such a result, the insincere apology, the heart-rending roar, the torment, and the bloody blood were still vivid and shocking in her eyes.

Qing Mudi is kind-hearted, and he can't see others being wronged, even if he suffers hardships. Even if everything is aimed at herself like Luo Xiulan, even if Luo Xiulan is the enemy in her heart at that time.

No matter how much Qing Mu hates a person, when that person collapses and falls into the abyss, she can't do it again.

As the saying goes, sowing the cause of evil, reaping the fruit of evil. Qing Mu also knows very well that all the endings of Luo Xiulan are self-inflicted, and she can't blame others, let alone herself. It is like a swordsman who draws his sword and stabs you, and if you don't fight back, then you will be destroyed.

After a few days, Qing Mu was also physically and mentally exhausted, and after having dinner early, he returned to his own garden to rest, thinking about all the things that had happened around him in the past few days, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

The night breeze of late autumn was full of biting chill, and Qing Mu looked at the candlelight in a daze, remembering the past of his previous life. Looking back on the past, how can I look back.

Thinking of Qinglun's meticulous care, my heart is full of warmth.

Thinking of his father's partiality in his previous life, the estrangement between himself and his father, his heart is full of resentment that he can't let go; Thinking of Mu Yuan's betrayal in his previous life, the crossing of the river and the demolition of the bridge, the merciless killing intent, his heart was full of monstrous hatred.

For a long time, the Yiren under the candlelight was stunned until the slightest tiredness came to his heart, and he didn't know it, so that he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
