The emperor looked at Liuhe: "You are not young now, if you can help me do this, I will allow you to leave the palace, give you a heavy reward, and let you find a good family." Liuhe looked at the toy in his hand, looked up at Huang Gonggong again, and said hesitantly: "What's the matter?" The emperor walked to the desk and sat down, and said lightly: "Over the years, you have followed the virtuous concubine, and you have done a lot of dirty things." Liuhe's expression froze, and then he said calmly: "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine is kind-hearted, the slave and maid have not done anything dirty, and the virtuous concubine is naturally too." The emperor shook his head and smiled: "Gonggong Huang, bring people up." Huang Gonggong saluted: "Yes." "Then, Huang Gonggong brought out a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy from behind." Sister. The little boy was very happy to see Liuhe. Liuhe was also very happy when he saw the little boy: "Brother, are you so old now?" The little boy ran to Liuhe's side and hugged Liuhe: "Sister, my mother almost died, if it wasn't for this grandfather's help, my mother would be gone." As he spoke, the little boy began to cry.

Liuhe wiped away the tears of the little boy: "Don't cry, say it well, my mother is fine, why is she sick?" The little boy sobbed: "After my sister entered the palace, my mother sold the soles of my shoes for money, and my father went to work for people every day, and worked hard for me to eat and drink." Liuhe was a little puzzled, and asked seriously: "Why are you working so hard, haven't you received the money I sent back every month?" The little boy shook his head: "The money, according to the usual practice, is sent to Lord Zhu's house, every time my father goes to get it, the housekeeper always pushes back, and that day he pushed his father down the steps, and one of his father's legs was broken, and in order to take care of his legs, I spent a lot of money, and I didn't go to school." After hearing this, Liuhe's heart was half cold. Now, Daddy's leg is good? Liuhe asked seriously with tears in his eyes. It's good now, but I don't have enough money to go to school. It just so happened that my mother was sick again recently, and I couldn't open the pot at home. The little boy said 1510.

Liuhe couldn't believe it, the letter sent by home, Yueyue said everything was fine. "Fortunately, my grandfather came, saved my mother, and paid my tuition, and now I go to school in the best private school in the village." The little boy smiled innocently. "Sister, look at my clothes, they look good? My grandfather bought me a lot of these clothes. The little boy spun around and said happily. Liuhe smiled: "It's good-looking, my brother looks good in anything." Huang Gonggong smiled and said: "Liuhe, if you help the emperor do things, the emperor can ensure that your family is rich and safe." Liuhe looked at his happy brother in front of him, thinking about what he had just said, and frowned. Tell my sister why you came to the palace. Liuhe asked her brother in a whisper. The little boy attached to Liuhe's ear and said, "Grandpa said that my sister was bewitched by bad people in the palace and didn't know the difficulties at home, so let me follow and tell my sister." Sister, don't be fooled by bad guys anymore, your mother and father don't blame you now. ”

Liuhe sat on the ground weakly, after entering the palace for so many years, Liuhe saved money for the sake of the virtuous concubine, and all the rewards were sent back to the family. "Liuhe, the old slave still has a letter from your mother, do you recognize your mother's handwriting? Your mother used to have a problem with hand tremors, but now, although she is cured, her hand tremors are still not cured. Look at the epistle for yourself. Huang Gonggong took out a letter and handed it to Liuhe. Liuhe took the letter and carefully opened it: "Liuhe Wu'er, everything is still safe at home, and my younger brother has gone to the palace, you have to take care of it more." Good students take care of themselves. All kinds of things in the past are caused by traitors, and my mother doesn't blame you. Hope to return early. Liuhe looked at the letter, looked at the trembling handwriting on it, and tears finally flowed.

Gonggong Huang glanced at the emperor, nodded, and the corners of his mouth raised. After Liuhe cried for a while, she put away her emotions and knelt seriously in front of the emperor. "Your Majesty, the slave is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain." Liuhe said seriously. In fact, this is not the disloyalty of Liuhe, they are subordinates, serving their masters wholeheartedly, swallowing their anger, in order to let their families live a good life. Now that she knows the truth about her family, she naturally won't do anything for the virtuous concubine anymore. Liuhe sneered in her heart, it was also her simple, the means of the virtuous concubine, she knew, she never thought that these methods were actually used against her. "What I want you to do is very simple, help me set up a game." The emperor said coldly.

"No matter what the emperor wants to do, Liuhe will definitely do his best." Liuhe's expression was resolute, and he was about to put the virtuous concubine to death. The emperor nodded: "Today, you go back first, don't be seen by the virtuous concubine, your brother has been living outside the palace in recent days, and you can come to my imperial study every day to meet him for a while." Liuhe kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Gonggong beckoned to the little boy: "Come here, grandpa told you, your sister still has very important things to do, you live in grandpa's house these days, grandpa invites you husband, teaches you to read and write, follow grandpa to the palace every day to play, and wait for my sister to finish her errands, take you home with you?" The little boy nodded: "Okay, thank you grandpa." Liuhe also kowtowed to Huang Gonggong: "Thank you Huang Gonggong." ”

Liuhe and his younger brother chatted for a while in the inner room of the imperial study, and then hurried back to Yonghe Palace. "Mother, mother." Liuhe pretended to be panicked and ran to the virtuous concubine. Concubine Xian stood up anxiously: "What's the matter?" Liuhe slowed down: "The slave and maid have already inquired clearly." Concubine De was promoted to concubine, Ouyang nobleman was promoted to concubine, and Concubine Jing's child was given the name Shichen, raised by the queen, and Zong Die was recorded as a concubine. After hearing this, Concubine Xian was a little distracted: "Sister-in-law? Why is it a sister-in-law? Liuhe saluted: "The slave maid heard that the emperor found out about the swing, not the queen, so he authorized the queen to raise the eleventh prince, because the queen has no prince, and the concubine has no opinion, so the eleventh prince is recorded as a concubine." The virtuous concubine went crazy and knocked all the teacups on the table to the ground, and then burst into tears. Mother, mother, you have to pay attention to your body. Liuhe said in a hurry.

"You get out! The main palace wants to be alone. Concubine Xian shouted hoarsely. Although Liuhe was worried, he still left. After going out, Liuhe smiled, these things were said by the emperor himself, let her come back and tell the words to the virtuous concubine, tomorrow, the harem will be spread all over. "Sister Liuhe, what's wrong with Niangniang." A palace maid asked with some concern. Liuhe frowned, his face full of worry: "Hey, you don't know anything..." Liuhe pulled the palace maid out and whispered what he had heard. The palace maid shook her head: "Sister Liuhe, I don't know why the mother is so sad, now that the queen has a son-in-law, the promotion of the harem mother is a good thing, why is the mother so sad?" Liuhe suddenly realized, yes, in the past, she always breathed out of the same nostril with Concubine Xian, so what Concubine Xian hated, she hated too, Concubine Xian was sad, she was also sad. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous.

"Yes, Niangniang is just a little anxious." Liuhe said with a sigh. The palace maid was puzzled: "What are you anxious about?" In the palace, they all envy us Yonghe Palace errands, and they all say that our mother is the most calm. Liuhe nodded: "I don't understand it either, Niangniang has her own considerations, let's do our own thing." The palace maid pursed her mouth: "Now, the people in the palace are envious of the Imperial Academy and Tianyun Pavilion." Sister, say something that shouldn't be said, our mother, are you going to fall out of favor? Liuhe shook his head: "Niangniang's business, it's not for us to discuss, you can be careful when you talk in the future, if you talk nonsense, Niangniang will know, Niangniang will definitely punish you." The palace maid pursed her lips: "Thank you sister for reminding me, I won't dare next time." Liuhe patted the palace maid on the shoulder: "Go and do things, the mother may need us at some point." ”
