Chapter Twenty-Four: Asking for Help from the Queen
Lang Zhong's wife said seriously:
"Mei Niang, don't be polite, the people in our pharmacy took care of you and received the queen's money, you really want to be grateful, and you really want to repay the queen's kindness to you in the future."
Qin Meiniang said with emotion:
"If you really want to say thank you, I owe the queen for my kindness, and I guess I can't repay it in my life."
Lang Zhong's wife waited for Qin Meiniang to finish drinking the potion, got up and said:
"I'll ask someone to send a letter to the queen mother in a while, and ask her to find a way to send you and Liu Feng out of the city."
Qin Meiniang nodded and said:
"Well, then Aunt Lao has to worry about it."
Lang Zhong's wife smiled:
"Okay, I won't say much kind words, as long as I see you two leave Kyoto City safely, I will be relieved."
Liu Feng then said:
"Auntie, I'll go with you in a while."
Lang Zhong's wife hurriedly excused himself and said:
"No, no, you just have to stay in the pharmacy and take care of Mei Niang, just leave it to me to find the queen's mother to help, it's a little unsafe for me to take you out, there are guards looking for the two of you everywhere outside, it's better to have more than one thing now."
Qin Meiniang said seriously:
"Well, what the eldest lady said is reasonable, Liu Feng, you don't always want to go out and show your face recently, so as not to be recognized by those guards, but it will be troublesome."
Liu Feng nodded and said:
"Nacheng, I will stay in the pharmacy from now on and not go anywhere, so as not to cause any more trouble at this juncture."
Lang Zhong's wife then turned around and said:
"That's it, I'll go out and get busy now."
After speaking, Lang Zhong's wife walked quickly to the door.
Qin Meiniang looked at Liu Feng and asked:
"Liu Feng, do you think it's really good for us to ask the queen mother for help again and again? Although the queen mother is indeed like Guanyin Bodhisattva, but after all, she has already saved me once, and brought the money from this pharmacy to let the people of the pharmacy take care of me, how can I repay her kindness to me in the future. “
Liu Feng said seriously:
"People are queen mothers, high and powerful, we have nothing to give her, it is really far-fetched to repay her, I didn't expect this queen mother to be so good, she is really a living bodhisattva."
Qin Meiniang nodded and said:
"After she helps us escape from this Kyoto city this time, I may not have anything to do with her again in this life, I hope that in the next life I can make cattle and horses for her to repay her kindness to me in this life."
Liu Feng walked to the bed and patted Qin Meiniang's shoulder, "Okay, don't feel embarrassed, if the queen mother does something well, God will definitely bless her with a long life." “
Qin Meiniang couldn't help but smile slightly, and said:
"The queen mother is originally a thousand years old, and I wouldn't be surprised that a living bodhisattva like her really lives a thousand years old."
刘峰 says:
"Well, that's right."
……
Lang Zhong's wife was busy with the affairs of the pharmacy, and then she wrote a letter to go to the back door of the palace, and asked the guards there to pass her letter to the queen mother, and she went to the back door of the palace, handed the letter in her hand to one of the guards, and said:
"Please send this letter to the queen in person, just say that you have something important to ask her, and you say that a girl she saved before still needs a little help from her."
Then the guard said:
"Well, okay, the queen also told me before, she said that if anyone looks for her, let me summon her, since you wrote a letter to Niangniang, then I will take you to see Niangniang immediately."
Lang Zhong's wife then said:
"I won't go in to see the queen's mother, you pass the letter I gave you to the mother, she will understand everything after reading the letter, I still have something to do, so I won't go in to see her, you can bring her the letter I gave you."
The guard nodded:
"Nacheng, since that's the case, then you can go, I'll go into the palace and hand over the letter you gave to Niangniang, so that she can see it." Lang Zhong's wife said seriously:
"Okay, then there will be a labor official, and the women will go back."
After speaking, Lang Zhong's wife immediately walked back.
The guards at the back gate of the palace immediately took the letter from Lang Zhong's wife and went to the palace.
The queen mother was chatting with some imperial concubines in her bedroom at the moment, when she saw a guard and immediately ran to the door and said that she had something important to inform.
The queen mother then smiled at the imperial concubines sitting on the side:
"My sisters keep talking, I'll come when I go."
The imperial concubines who were sitting on one side immediately said to the queen mother:
"Mother, go ahead."
"Come back soon."
……
The queen mother walked outside the door, called aside the guard who had come to report the news, and asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter, is someone from the pharmacy coming to me?"
The guard said seriously:
"Qi Yu Niangniang, exactly, the middle-aged woman said that she was from a pharmacy in this city, and she said that the girl you saved before had something she wanted your help with, and she wrote a letter to her subordinates about the specific things."
After saying that, the guard immediately handed the letter left by Lang Zhong's wife to the queen.
The queen mother looked around, and when she saw that there was no one else, she immediately took the letter, quickly opened it and looked at it, and the expression on her face was instantly solemn.
"Go down, I know about it." The queen said to the guard.
Then the guard turned and ran.
The queen then tore the letter paper in her hand into confetti and threw it into the weeds on the side.
This Wan Qing is really bold, he dared to send people around the city to search for Ling'er's whereabouts, and wanted to arrest her back, but he really didn't take me as a queen in his eyes at all.
After reading the letter, the queen mother suddenly held her breath in her heart, she didn't expect that this Wan Qing would continue to entangle Qin Meiniang, and wanted to continue to arrest her back, as Qin Meiniang's biological mother, she would not let Wan Qing's conspiracy succeed no matter what, so she decided to find an opportunity to go out of the city and protect her daughter from Wan Qing's bullying.
"Wan Qing, you bastard, if you fall into my hands one day, see if I can't treat you well." The queen mother muttered to herself full of unhappiness.
The queen mother immediately went back to the room and persuaded all the imperial concubines sitting inside to go back.
"Sisters, I suddenly feel a little unwell now, and I want to lie down and rest for a while, let's talk here today, and I'll invite you to come to my house to play when I'm free another day." The queen said seriously.
As soon as the imperial concubines sitting on the side heard the words of the queen mother, they all got up immediately, and after shouting at the queen mother for a while, they all left her room one after the other and went back.
The queen mother sat on the stool, her heart was full of entanglement, she really wanted to go out of the palace immediately to take Qin Meiniang back to her, but after thinking about it, she couldn't do this, after all, once Qin Meiniang's life experience was revealed, it would inevitably become a scandal for the royal family, and the emperor would have no face at that time, and even the true identity of the current prince would be involved.
