Chapter 290: Sisters who cherish each other
"Sister, I only remember that I fell asleep in the dormitory of the goddess and the empress dowager, and then woke up here. Maybe it's sleepwalking again, Yao'er used to sleepwalk around when she was a child. But just now Yao'er had a strange dream, in which an aunt who looks very similar to you talked to me and said that you must send me back to the palace. And then there are many things I want to say to the goddess and the empress dowager with you. I said I did it for her, and she will play with me in her dreams in the future. That sister, will you send me back to the palace quickly? Yao'er said while reminiscing in Princess Yidan's arms.
Hearing Yao'er say that she had a problem with sleepwalking, Princess Yidan felt that it was forgivable, otherwise how could she explain that an eight-year-old girl came to this cold and dark palace for no reason.
When she heard Yao'er mention an aunt who looked very similar to herself, Princess Yidan knew that Yao'er was talking about her mother, and Yao'er also said that her mother had told her a lot of things, and she wanted to tell the goddess Empress Dowager in person with her, and she probably knew what her mother thought, that is, to ask the Empress Dowager to make decisions for their mother and daughter and clear their grievances.
Princess Yidan was also surprised and worried about this, and the surprise was that she had also heard the story of the legendary Empress Dowager that had been rumored in the palace, and also knew that the Empress Dowager had just returned from the northwest to solve the plague crisis last night.
Because although she had only seen the goddess Empress Dowager from afar, she admired the Empress Dowager's resolute and fair conduct very much, and even those ministers who disobeyed the saint were convinced by this goddess Empress Dowager, so once the Empress Dowager came forward to thoroughly investigate the case of her mother's unjust death, it would definitely be stronger than the strength of the saint.
It's just that Bing Xue is smart and always thinks about others, Princess Yidan is also a little worried, that is, just by relying on her own words and Yao'er's words, how can she make the goddess Empress Dowager believe that her mother was killed by Yin Guifei?
And Yao'er just met her mother in a dream, even if she can tell all the truth on behalf of her mother, it is just a dream after all, and it is difficult for Yin Guifei and the ministers who secretly support her to admit their crimes.
Even the saint may not be able to punish Yin Guifei because of the dream of an eight-year-old girl, not to mention whether the minister of civil and military affairs can be convinced, I am afraid that the people will also feel too absurd, thinking that the saint is too hasty and gullible to condemn Yin Guifei, and it is difficult to believe it.
Because Yin Guifei has always been very friendly in front of the public, often going to the temple to pray for His Majesty and the people, and from time to time giving porridge in the temple to help those extremely poor people, so the people who don't know the truth don't know Yin Guifei's sinister intentions and those bad things that have been done countless times to lose their conscience.
Therefore, Princess Yidan was worried that not only would she not be able to overturn the case for their mother and daughter, but also that the goddess, the Empress Dowager and Yao'er would be criticized, which would be counterproductive.
At that time, it is a trivial matter for Yin Guifei to abuse her more severely, and it is a big deal to die as soon as she dies, but it is difficult to say about the first life of the goddess Empress Dowager and the safety of Yao'er, after all, as long as Yin Guifei does not fall, and the forces behind her cannot be eradicated, she will definitely take this opportunity to suppress the goddess Empress Dowager, and even kill the innocent and young Yao'er, it is not an alarmist thing.
Therefore, Princess Yidan had to have some scruples, not wanting to harm the goddess Empress Dowager and Yao'er because of something she was completely unsure of.
"This ...... Yao'er, it's okay to send you back to the palace, but can you let my sister go back to the palace first to change clothes? Otherwise, it would be rude to go to see the goddess and the empress dowager like this. In this way, you first accompany your sister back to your place to change clothes, and then your sister will send you back to the Goddess Palace, okay? As for what the aunt in the dream told you, otherwise there will be a suitable opportunity to talk about it in the future, this goddess Empress Dowager has just come back from solving the Northwest Plague Crisis, so late, don't disturb her rest, listen to my sister's words, okay? Princess Yidan hesitated, but still said a safe way.
The reason why she wanted to change her clothes was to cover up that she was abused by Concubine Yin again today, after all, if she wore such a dress to send Yao'er back, even if she didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager would ask what happened, but she had no conclusive evidence to prove that this injury was caused by Concubine Yin.
At that time, if Concubine Yin and the palace maids and royal guards around her all denied it, the goddess and the empress dowager would have no way to hold Concubine Yin responsible.
Therefore, it is better to cover up the pain according to Yin Guifei's requirements as usual, and only by appearing in front of the public can you not offend Yin Guifei, and you will not startle the snake, so that you can continue to stay by Yin Guifei's side, so that over time, you can always find iron evidence, and it will not be too late to find a more suitable opportunity to expose Yin Guifei at that time.
Of course, Princess Yidan also understood that by doing so, she would violate her previous promise to her mother to fully cooperate with Yao'er, but she really didn't have a bottom in her heart, and she didn't want to do it recklessly, and hurt the goddess Empress Dowager and Yao'er.
It's just that she knows the reason for this, and it is difficult to explain it to an eight-year-old girl, so she even coaxed Yao'er to say such a thing.
If Yao'er was really just an ordinary eight-year-old girl, then Princess Yidan's words might have an effect, but for Yao'er, the demon fox who had cultivated into a refinement, it was easy to hear Princess Yidan's concerns and what she was worried about.
For Yao'er, this time she is determined to help Princess Yidan, so she will never give up her plan because of her concerns.
But after all, she is only an eight-year-old girl, and it is impossible for her to convince Princess Yidan to cooperate with her next plan like an adult.
So, she thought for a while and said, "Sister, no, Auntie said that if Yao'er can't do what Auntie told her, she will never play with Yao'er in her dreams in the future." And Yao'er must have been out for a long time, if you don't send Yao'er back to the palace immediately, the goddess and the empress dowager will be very worried if she can't see Yao'er. Do you want the Empress Dowager to worry? ”
"Sister doesn't dare, then ...... All right. Sister, I'll send you back to the Goddess Palace now. Hey, maybe this is the will of God, Mother, Dan'er doesn't know if your plan is feasible, but now Dan'er has no choice but to do it. Let everything take its course, anyway, I was going to commit suicide by jumping into the lake today, but after meeting the goddess and the empress dowager to sue Yin Guifei for failure, I was killed by Yin Guifei again. Anyway, Dan'er has done her best. It's just that Dan'er is worried that it will be bad for the goddess, the empress dowager and Yao'er, so that even if Dan'er dies, she will be uneasy. Yao'er, you are still young, and you won't understand your sister's words, but no matter how it ends, your sister and aunt will be grateful to you. Maybe in your dreams in the future, you will have an aunt and sister to play with you. Princess Yidan hurriedly replied respectfully.
After all, with her identity, how could she do something that worried the noble goddess Empress Dowager?
But she sighed again and said something to the dark sky, as if her mother was watching her from the sky.
Maybe he thought that Yao'er in front of him would be at a loss, so he hurriedly bent down and gently touched Yao'er's face to explain, his eyes were full of love and guilt.
When Yao'er listened to Princess Yidan's heartfelt words, and saw Princess Yidan's sincere eyes looking at her, she also felt warm in her heart, after all, she was so big, except for the goddess Empress Dowager, only this Princess Yidan cared so much about her.
So in her heart, she is also more determined, this time she must help Princess Yidan get rid of Concubine Yin, help their mother and daughter clear their grievances, and return Princess Yidan's original status as a high-ranking princess.
"Sister, you are so good to Yao'er, Yao'er will definitely not let my sister have anything to do. I won't let the goddess Empress Dowager and Yao'er have something to do, and when I wake up in the future, I will have you and the Empress Dowager to play with me, and there will be an aunt who looks like you to play with Yao'er in my dream, and Yao'er will be satisfied. Let's go, sister, don't let the goddess and the empress dowager wait for a long time. Yao'er also hugged Princess Yidan's waist emotionally, raised her head and replied seriously.
"Good! Then let's go back to the Goddess Palace together. If there is a future, my sister will definitely go to see you often and play with you. Princess Yidan also said in a firm tone.
"Hmmm! Sister Dan'er, let's go. Yao'er nodded solemnly and said.
Then the two of them walked hand in hand towards the gate of Lingyang Palace.
When she came to the gate of Lingyang Palace, Princess Yidan considered that she was going to expose Concubine Yin's crimes to the goddess Empress Dowager tonight, so there was no need to walk in the palace in dodge.
So she simply took Yao'er's hand generously, walked out of Lingyang Palace, and walked in the direction of the Goddess Palace without hesitation.
It's just that at the moment of leaving, he looked back again and took a deep look at Lingyang Palace, which can be regarded as saying goodbye to his mother, after all, after tonight, it is difficult to say whether she will have the opportunity to return here in the future.
When the two of them walked on the road between the palaces, because this area was a cold palace, it was relatively dim, and they couldn't see the distance clearly, and besides, it was midnight again, and even the royal guards on patrol couldn't see a single one.
In addition, the concubines in the cold palace often cry for no reason at midnight, so walking on such a cold and dark road, and the crying can be faintly heard, also makes Princess Yidan feel inexplicably desolate, and there is an illusion that after she dies, she is like a lonely ghost floating around.
Just as she was pulling Yao'er slowly forward with great sadness, she saw a few lanterns appear on the opposite side, obviously a patrolling royal guard came over.
It's just that according to Princess Yidan's experience, few royal guards in the general cold palace will come, because the concubines here can't escape at all, and no one will come to assassinate the concubines who have fallen out of favor, so she is also curious to pull Yao'er to meet the lantern in the distance, and she is also prepared for the worst......
