The old lady led her two daughters-in-law out of the door, only to see a few people swaying at the door, looking dressed, it was actually someone from the palace.

However, the people who have always come to the palace are Gonggong Liu, who is next to the emperor, and he has been smiling. These people who came this time don't seem to have a very good attitude.

Seeing the old lady and her party come out, one of the eunuchs immediately took out the holy decree and said, "Kneel down and accept the decree." The tone was sharp, and the tone was not polite.

As soon as He Mian'er heard it, she knew that things were not good, the old lady's legs and feet were inconvenient, Sister-in-law Jiang and He Mian'er helped her a little slower, and the eunuch from the palace was already impatient and began to read the holy decree.

Just after hearing a few words, the old lady trembled with anger, and even He Mian'er only felt that her body was soft, and her heart felt sour.

But it turned out that after King Chen was captured, the emperor ordered the whole family of King Chen to be beheaded, and consciously gave Xu Yunqing an explanation, although he won the battle this time, and he would not be added to the rank of knight, but he felt worthy of him.

The emperor was already jealous of his only younger brother, after all, the queen mother loved this little son the most, and the emperor naturally hoped to take this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that his vein could sit firmly on the throne.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunqing actually sent someone to expedite 800 miles and sent someone to send a letter to the emperor, with sincere words, only asking the emperor to spare King Chen's son and his wife.

The letter said that the child was innocent, and hoped that the emperor would take care of blood and family affection, demote the child to a commoner, and leave the child alive. In addition, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, and she also hopes that the emperor will make the Queen Mother relieved out of filial piety.

The son of King Chen is young, and he can be raised by his wife, and the child will be sent to the queen mother's house, that is, the Longyan grandson family in Fujian Province to raise it on his behalf.

Xu Yunqing's remarks were naturally known in advance about the Queen Mother.

The mother of her own head forced her to die and asked the emperor to leave the child's life. This self-directed general seems respectful in his letters, but in fact, he almost openly accuses himself of ignoring human ethics and not talking about blood and family affection. It was all to protect the son of King Chen, who was secretly in the enemy country and planned to seek power and usurp the throne.

The other courtiers even collectively wrote to intercede, and a few old bones were thrown into prison by the emperor before, and now they are also making a lot of noise. was so colluded and calculated by the harem and the former dynasty, the emperor only felt very angry in his heart.

What made him even more angry was that King Chen almost killed Xu Yunqing, and also fabricated false testimony to frame him for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy.

That Xu Yunqing's wife was even married by Chen Wangqiang, and everyone knew about it. That Xu Yunqing actually interceded for this woman, but she was really "unclear about right and wrong, and acted recklessly." ”

Moreover, Xu Yunqing actually proposed in the letter that he was willing to personally escort King Chen's son and his wife to Longyan, Fujian, which made it clear that he did not trust him as an emperor.

The emperor was furious, and he should have responded to his request, but he directly demoted General Zhengyuan of Zhengyipin to the commander of the chariot from Sipin.

Let him not use it in the palace to resume his life, go directly to the Chen Wangfu to pick up people, and immediately set off for Longyan, Fujian, without delaying for a moment.

Out of sight and out of mind, this time and again, it will take at least more than a month.

Since the old lady heard that Xu Yunqing was demoted, she was so angry that she scolded: "Confused, really confused." ”

It is difficult to find a general of the second grade, and the captain of the fourth rank is not a big official position in Beijing, let alone a military attaché.

The eunuchs from the palace were accustomed to praising the high and stepping on the low, so they naturally looked down on people, and only said sourly: "Old lady, don't be in a hurry to scold, first take the holy decree and then talk about it." ”

No matter how angry the old lady was in her heart, she didn't dare to be disrespectful to the holy decree, so she could only accept the holy decree with humiliation and burden, and watched a few domineering little eunuchs leave.

He Mian'er was still immersed in her emotions, and she only heard Sister-in-law Jiang shouting: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Looking back, the old lady couldn't stand up. A few people were busy again, helped the old lady to the bedroom, invited a doctor, and found that there was no big problem, so everyone was relieved.

Obviously, the old lady was angry with Xu Yunqing's actions, and after resting for a while, her expression was a little better.

Sister-in-law Jiang was probably afraid that He Mian'er would be cranky, so she invited her to her room and thought about how to enlighten He Mian'er.

In fact, since the little eunuch appeared, He Mian'er knew that the situation was not good, and after listening to the twists and turns in the holy decree, he guessed the truth.

Xu Yunqing still broke his promise.

She clearly remembered that day, Xu Yunqing coaxed her and said: "I must have exterminated the king of Chen on this trip, and I have made great contributions, and I don't ask for anything, I just ask the saint to let you change from a concubine to a wife, and we will live with Hemeimei together." ”

Every word he said, she took to heart. I remember how he promised her, "If the saint does not agree, I will resign from this official position and return to the countryside with you. ”

I remember him personally promised: "Don't worry, it won't be in the future." ”

It turned out that he would indeed risk dismissal at the risk of dismissal at the expense of his official position, but not for her. He does have people he wants to support, and it's not her either.

Those promises were like goose feathers blown into the wind, without the slightest weight, and no one cared, and they disappeared without a trace.

Again and again, Xu Yunqing is really calculating.

He Mian'er only felt that her chest was sore and depressed, and she was a little out of breath. Sister-in-law Jiang saw her abnormality, and was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she comforted: "Mian'er, don't be sad, we might as well wait for the uncle to come back and listen to what he has to say, I'm afraid there is something unspeakable." ”

Unspeakable suffering? He Mian'er just wanted to laugh, what could he Xu Yunqing have unspeakable hardships, wasn't it just that when he saw his old lover, he softened his heart for a while, remembered his old love, and said that he would protect the safety of the other party's family.

Not even had time to get home, he went directly to Chen Wangfu to escort Xie Wanqing to Longyan, Fujian.

Fujian Longyan is far away from the capital, and there are lonely men and widows along the way, and Lang has a concubine who is interested, I am afraid that Xu Yunqing will not think about it, so he will stay in the local area.

Does he remember how he promised her every word that day?

Yes, she is to blame for this, blame her for being arrogant and arrogant since she was a child, and she must get what she wants; blames her for knowing that the other party already has a crush, but she is uncompromising and insists on fulfilling the so-called promise. I don't know which kindness was repaid, it touched the anger of the public, provoked the disgust of everyone, and in the end ended up taking the blame on himself, and he really deserved it.

In the past, when she was studying in the boudoir, He Mian'er once read such a story. Oyo and a woman had an appointment under the bridge, but the woman never came, and the water flooded, and Oyo was reluctant to leave, so he died holding the pillar.

Isn't she He Mian'er the tail born who drowned in vain?
