Princess Liu Qian thought that Empress Dowager Dong could help rescue Jiang Xun, so she felt that the situation was changeable, and without further ado, she didn't care about the darkening night, took the palace maid, and hurried to Yong'an Palace.

The inner courtyard of the palace is wide and deep, and it is not easy to ride in the palace, and the group walked two pillars of incense before arriving at the dormitory where the Empress Dowager Dong was.

When the palace people guarding the door saw that it was Princess Wannian who arrived, they did not stop or report it, but just bent down and saluted, allowing Liu Qian to enter. The palace people of Yong'an Palace know that the princess lived here at a very young age, and her relationship with the Empress Dowager Dong was even closer. The residence of the Queen Mother is like her home to the princess.

In the dormitory of Yong'an Palace, a woman reclined on a chair, and two palace maids held refreshments to serve left and right. The woman on the floor wore a purple palace robe, decorated with red plum blossom embroidery. A jasper hairpin is inserted diagonally in the bun, and a little silver thread looms under the first display of the lantern. There are fine wrinkles hanging from the corners of the eyes and forehead, and the angular face is slightly powdered. Although she is over forty years old and no longer young, she is full of energy, charm, majesty and dignity, this woman is the Empress Dowager Dong.

Liu Qian was like a little girl from an ordinary family, jumping up and down and walking quickly to the chair, only stopped when she got closer, bowed to the Empress Dowager Dong, and said with a smile: "Qian'er has asked my eldest mother to say goodbye." In private, there is no need for the "imperial grandmother" to come to the "imperial grandmother".

The Empress Dowager Dong on the chair was extremely happy when she saw that her granddaughter was coming, straightened up, beckoned and said, "It's all my own family, why be polite?" Get up quickly, let the eldest mother take a good look at you. ”

"Alas," Liu Qian agreed, got up and came to the couch, and let the Empress Dowager Dong pull her and sit down beside her.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other. At such a close distance, Liu Qian looked at the Empress Dowager Dong. Liu Qian found that the Empress Dowager Dong was really old, although she was still as kind and kind as before, but the silver threads and wrinkles that caught her eyes couldn't help but make Liu Qian feel sour.

Liu Qian took Empress Dowager Dong's hands, her eyes were shining, as if there were tears, and said: "Mother, take care of your body, I will often come to see my mother in the future."

Empress Dowager Dong patted the back of Liu Qian's hand and said with a smile: "Haha, good granddaughter, as long as you still remember the eldest mother in your heart." This time, you went out hunting with your father, and you were in danger, which made your eldest mother worried! The eldest mother didn't ask you, you still hid it from the eldest mother? As he spoke, there was a sense of reproach on his face.

"It turns out that the eldest mother knows it......" Liu Qian replied a little embarrassed. After returning to the palace at noon to see Liu Hong, who came to visit, Liu Qian came to see the Empress Dowager Dong. At that time, he just wanted to hide from his grandmother that he was in danger, and forgot to ask Empress Dowager Dong to save Jiang Xun for a while. I thought that everyone in the palace was hiding this matter from the Empress Dowager Dong, and when I came here today, I was going to confess to her, but I don't know where the Empress Dowager Dong already knew the details. Liu Qian remembered that she was playful and willful for a while, and ran out secretly, not only in danger repeatedly, but also made her relatives frightened for herself, and she felt that she couldn't bear her mother. "Isn't my grandson coming back safely, as soon as I return to the palace, I will come to see the eldest mother......"

"Well, in the future, you are not allowed to mess around with your temperament, and you will hide it from your eldest mother for two days. If this is the case again, Hugh blames the eldest mother for being angry. Although Empress Dowager Dong said that she wanted to be angry, she was already smiling and her eyes were kind. Liu Qian saw it in her eyes and burst out laughing.

Liu Qian said again: "Eldest mother, this time my granddaughter can return safely, all thanks to a hero named Jiang Bopei who sacrificed her life to save her!"

Empress Dowager Dong said: "I was about to ask you carefully, how have these days passed? ”

With this question, Liu Qian told in detail all the experiences of those days, from the hunting and assassination to Jiang Hyun's rescue with a bow on his horse, from the two of them trekking the mountain to jumping off the mountain stream, as well as the "first line of the sky", fighting the one-eyed wolf, and taking refuge in the fire in the cave and meeting the white wolf king. Liu Qian's small mouth said vividly, as if she was on the scene, and when it came to the thrilling place, she couldn't help but feel the heartstrings of the Empress Dowager Dong, and when she talked about getting out of danger, she could listen to her heart stretch. However, for fear of upsetting the Empress Dowager Dong, she didn't say anything about adopting the little wolf cub, it was a beast after all, and I was afraid that the old man would not like it, anyway, the little wolf cub was not in the palace now. As for the fainting in the cave, he was woken up by Jiang Hyun, and he also avoided the seriousness and passed it lightly.

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Dong held Liu Qian's hand tightly, for fear that her baby granddaughter would encounter any danger if she left her. However, the old man paused for a while, and then said: "Then you have to thank this Jiang Bopei well, what do you say you want the eldest mother to reward him?" ”

Liu Qian looked at the Empress Dowager Dong and asked herself, knowing that there was a play. deliberately frowned and pouted, shook his head and said, "Eldest Mother, I'm afraid that no matter how good the reward you give, he won't be blessed."

Empress Dowager Dong was puzzled and asked, "But why?"

"The eldest mother didn't know that Jiang Bopei had been arrested and taken out of prison, and it was said that he colluded and rebelled, intended to assassinate and bewitch the princess. Look, my mother, isn't everything right with me, how can I be bewitched by him? This is clearly a treacherous villain who framed him! Mother, you can't let a good person be wronged! Please also ask the eldest mother to save her! When she said this, Liu Qian's tone couldn't help but become eager.

Empress Dowager Dong has always loved Liu Qian and regarded her as the meat of her heart and the pearl in her palm. However, she has become a queen mother from a concubine, and the sinister struggles she has experienced and seen are numerous, and she has already noticed that there may be other hidden secrets at this time. didn't say it at the moment, just said: "Okay, Qian'er, the eldest mother knows at this time." Not to mention whether this Jiang Bopei colluded and rebelled, since it is to save you from danger, it is because you are gracious, and it is also because of my mother, and my mother will not sit idly by. ”

Hearing Empress Dowager Dong say this, Liu Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that there was great hope for rescuing Jiang Xun.

Liu Qian said: "Big Mother Shengming! There is no need for the eldest mother to do anything more in this matter, you just need to come forward and explain to your father that Jiang Hyun did save Qian'er. ”

Empress Dowager Dong knew that since the death of Empress Song, Liu Hong has become increasingly estranged from Liu Qian, and there has long been an estrangement between father and daughter. Liu Qian should have begged Liu Hong but there was no result, so he came to beg himself. Now, I can only go to see Liu Hong in person. Empress Dowager Dong stroked Liu Qian's forehead and said, "Qian'er rest assured, the eldest mother will definitely make it clear to the emperor and help you save this benefactor."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong promised to save Jiang Xun, Liu Qian was overjoyed, got up and bowed to Empress Dowager Dong, and said excitedly, "Qian'er thanked my mother first." ”

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Dong already had a different calculation in her heart, laughed, stretched out her hand to help Liu Qian, and said: "Qian'er is still so different from the eldest mother, she is really separated from the eldest mother." Haha, the eldest mother really wants to see what this Jiang Hyun is, and someone will make Qian'er so interested. ”

Liu Qian heard the meaning of Empress Dowager Dong's words, couldn't help blushing, bowed her head slightly, and said: "He is Yu Qian'er's life-saving grace, eldest mother, you are laughing......

Empress Dowager Dong said: "Okay, the eldest mother knows, knows." It's getting late, so you stay here tonight to accompany your mother. ”

For Liu Qian at this moment, it is very happy to be accompanied by relatives. Liu Qianying said: "Qian'er listens to the eldest mother, and she won't go anywhere tonight, just serve here." As he spoke, he got on the chair of the Empress Dowager Dong, detoured behind the Empress Dowager Dong, massaged her shoulders and neck, and lay in the ear of the Empress Dowager Dong, and said some jokes that I heard from nowhere.

In the dormitory of Yong'an Palace, the lights and candles are shining, and the hearty laughter of the Empress Dowager Dong is heard from time to time, and the room is full of warmth. The carved palace windows keep the autumn cold far away.
