Concubine Qin said: "Mingda is outside the palace, it is more convenient for you to meet him when you leave the palace." ”

"My cousin doesn't like to go out, and when he is away from his aunt, he has even fewer opportunities to see him." Qinghui said in a low voice: "Auntie, you obviously know that after I leave the palace, my cousin will not see me again." ”

"Mingda is a very stubborn kind of person, he knows your intentions and still treats you like this, it means that he really has no feelings for you male and female, why do you force it?"

Harumi lowered her head, her eyelashes drooping to cover her thoughts, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

Concubine Qin remembered the conversation with Mingda just now, and said with a sigh: "You are so old, it is impossible for your aunt to protect you for a lifetime, you should plan for your future." ”

……

Ah Si returned to the mansion with Mingda, and when he saw that Mingda had just sat down, he ordered someone to sort out the evidence of Concubine Qin's instructions for jujube paste, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness really plans to hand over the concubine Niangniang to Your Majesty for disposal?" ”

"Or else?" Mingda's expression was cold: "Fu An told this matter to this king, just hoping that this king can deal with it impartially, not to mention that this matter is at fault for the mother concubine, and the national law is like this, which is unreasonable." ”

King Ning and Concubine Qin's mother and son have a deep relationship, and they are indeed a model of mother-son filial piety, Ah Si confirmed: "Once this crime is confirmed, the concubine will inevitably suffer some hardships, Your Highness, can you bear it?" ”

Mingda unfolded the official document on the desk, and said with an unmoved face: "At most, it is reduced to a concubine, this king doesn't care about his mother's identity, whether she is a concubine or an ordinary person, this king will serve her for a long time." ”

Mingda handed over the evidence found by his subordinates to Ah Si: "Your Majesty is still sick, you give these things to Wang Jin, and you will present them when Your Majesty wakes up." ”

……

Chen Da walked into the courtyard gate with a big box in his arms, and saw Ling Yao sitting in front of the door in a daze from a distance, and immediately frowned: "It's so cold outside, what are you doing sitting here?" ”

"The wind is not cold." Ling Yao propped her chin and shrunk herself into a ball: "How clean the wind is, I like to blow the wind." ”

Chen Da walked up to her, put the box down, and opened the lid to show her: "This is the dim sum I just bought from outside, it is freshly made by the pastry chef, and it is still hot, you can taste it." ”

The heat of the pastry hit Ling Yao's face, and she pulled the corners of her mouth, "Father, hasn't he come back yet?" ”

Chen Da's smile lowered slightly: "I heard that the prince went out early in the morning, maybe he has something to do." ”

"He wants to marry me off, I know." Ling Yao picked up a piece of jujube paste cake: "Why bother, Qi Zhao didn't want to marry me before I had an accident, let alone now." ”

"Lingyao ......" Chen Da couldn't bear it.

"Chen Chen, I'm dirty, aren't I?" Ling Yao stared at her feet with empty eyes, and stuffed the jujube paste cake into her mouth one by one, tasting the same as chewing wax: "Such a clean wind can't wash away the dirt on my body, and the dirt on my body can't be removed no matter what." ”

"You're not dirty." Chen Da held her shoulders, his eyes locked tightly on her face: "Lingyao, you believe me, you are not dirty, in my heart you are the purest girl in the world." ”

Ling Yao snorted, pulled away his hand, and didn't take his words to heart at all: "I asked you to take someone to defile that servant's body before, and now I have fallen into the same situation as her, do you think this is God disgusted with my despicable methods, so he used this way to punish me?" ”

Chen Dazheng wanted to tell her that this was not the case, so Ling Yao asked herself and said, "It must be like this, I have done bad things, and the cycle of cause and effect has made me what I want others to be." ”

She raised her head, lifted the corners of her lips and smiled, she looked at Chen Da: "Chen Chen? ”

Hearing the familiar title, Chen Da immediately held her hand: "I'm here!" ”

"Even so, I don't regret it." Ling Yao said: "I don't regret that I hurt people at all, why do you say this?" ”

“…… Ling Yao. ”

"They emitted a disgusting stench, and they walked towards me one by one, laughing disgustingly......" Ling Yao wrapped her arms around her arms, suddenly screamed and ran into the room, covering the foot of the bed where her ears were, and shaking her head incessantly: "Chen Chen...... Chen Chen, where have you been, you drove them away! Drive away! Drive them away! Get out! Chen Chen, why haven't you come back...... I don't want to eat snacks, okay? Come back soon......"

Chen Da's feet were like a boulder tied to the weight of a thousand pounds, and his steps towards the threshold were all staggering.

At the foot of the bed, the little girl who gathered herself together trembled, most of her head was lying on her lap, and a little tremor could be heard in the voice calling for help, and she was obviously still crying.

Time seemed to go back to that day, he settled the little girl on the side of the road and waited for him, he left for a while, and then turned to look for her, and she was gone, he ran like crazy all over most of Pingzhou City, and finally found her in ragged clothes in the inconspicuous civilian alley.

Her face was covered with dried tears, her teeth chattered unconsciously, the clothes covering her slipped a little, and he saw the horrible bruises on it.

There were still tears in his ears, and he cried out in despair: "Chen Chen, where have you been, can you come and save Yaoyao." ”

"Ling Yao." He walked to the side of the bed, like an old man, squatted down slowly, stretched out his arms, and took her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you." He clenched his fists and repeated with a determined gaze: "I will." ”

……

"Did King Ning really hand over the evidence of Concubine Qin's guilt to you?" Yun Qing looked at Wang Jin in surprise.

Wang Jin bowed, "There is a palace maid in Qing'an Palace, called jujube paste, that is the eyeliner of Concubine Qin in the Queen Mother's Palace, and it was this person who bribed the wicked to be unfavorable to Imperial Doctor Fu's mother. She wrote her own confession, admitting that everything she did was instigated by Concubine Qin. ”

"I thought he would be kind of open for his mother." Yun Qing shook his head and said ashamedly: "His Royal Highness King Ning is upright, but I am narrow-minded. ”

Wang Jin was also full of praise: "His Royal Highness King Ning is a rare gentleman in the world. ”

Yun Qing's arm rested on the small table, and his eyes were slightly twinning: "Manager Wang, according to the palace rules, what kind of punishment will Concubine Qin get for bribing the palace people to assassinate innocent people?" ”

"According to the palace rules, if you cause the death of others, Concubine Qin should be deprived of her honorific title and some flesh and pain. But Miss Yun, you also know that when Imperial Doctor Fu's mother was persecuted, she sought death by herself in a hurry, so strictly speaking, Concubine Qin did not commit murder, and she has a famous position, when the palace deals with this kind of case, most of them will talk about it for the sake of royal face. At most, find a reason to remove the honorable position, and that's it. ”

Yun Qing was clear: "No wonder King Ning can hand over the evidence of Concubine Qin's guilt so calmly." ”。

"Palace concubines and commoners, there is a world of difference between the identities of the two, and there are many tilts on the palace rules, and it is rare for Imperial Doctor Fu's mother's case to make Concubine Qin break her muscles and bones."
