Just when Yun Zhen was talking to the emperor in the imperial garden, the queen mother was also talking to her father.

"What? He wants a Zen position? The Queen Mother's eyes widened and she looked at her father with puzzlement.

"Exactly."

The Queen Mother sneered, "He still knows some current affairs and knows when to retire." ”

Old Man Qi looked at his daughter and shook his head.

"What do you think, it's your business, and being able to solve this matter without bloodshed is also a blessing for the common people."

The Queen Mother nodded, this is true, if it is really a battle in the end, I am afraid that even if my son becomes the throne, he will be discredited.

The father and daughter were silent for a moment, and suddenly heard Master Qi say, "By the way, I want to see someone." ”

"Who does Father want to see?"

"He Xuan."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did my father do to her?" ”

"What, isn't it convenient?"

When the Queen Mother heard her father's words, she understood that her father didn't know about He Xuan's arrest, so she had to tell her father everything she knew from beginning to end.

"So, now she's in prison."

Listening to the Queen Mother's tone and looking at her expression, Old Man Qi could see and hear that the Queen Mother did not have the slightest pity for He Xuan, the child.

"Don't you hate her?"

"Disgusted...... If it was before, it would still be none, but later, because of her, her daughter lost a profitable helper, and her daughter disliked her......"

"If it's just disgust, why do you want to kill?"

"Father, this girl can't stay. The daughter can not be easy for the appearance of the second Meng. ”

Old Man Qi frowned, looked at his daughter, and didn't understand the reason why she mentioned the Meng family at this time.

"Father, you have only been back for a short time, and you can't see Zhen'er's thoughts about her. I don't know what kind of bewitchment the woman played on Zhen'er, and she actually asked Zhen'er to be obedient to her and do everything possible to maintain it. Even in the prison, he lived in the cell leader's room, and all the food and drink were served by special people......"

"Oh? Then why didn't she run? ”

"If you commit such a great sin, where can you run? She's a little self-aware. The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Back then, when the emperor was still the prince, for the sake of the Meng family, the angry emperor fainted several times, the first emperor had a life, if he still kept the Meng family by his side, he would be removed from the imperial register, but the emperor was unmoved. If this is not the case, why did the emperor only think that it was necessary to remove the Meng clan to make the emperor feel at ease in the court. ”

"Do you think He Xuan looks like Meng?"

"Like, not really, but my daughter can't let it go on like this. Since Zhen'er has chosen the throne, she can't continue to live. It's okay if she's an ordinary child, but if she is a rebel and stays behind, isn't this the same as putting a bag of gunpowder next to Yun Zhen that doesn't know when it will explode! A lesson from the past, daughter, you can't take this risk. ”

The Queen Mother sighed and continued: "The emperor's favor has always made the harem restless, and then the previous dynasty was turbulent. Maybe killing He Xuan will make Zhen'er sad for a while, but compared to the common people and the stability of the society, her daughter doesn't feel that it is wrong to sacrifice her alone. ”

If it was the previous words, Mrs. Qi felt that the Queen Mother was a little unreasonable, then the later things made Mrs. Qi feel reasonable.

Yes, compared to social stability, what is a person's life!

"As a father, I still want to see her. All right? ”

Seeing her father's insistence, the Queen Mother had no choice but to nod, but said: "Father has to wait first, Rong daughter went to ask Zhen'er for a letter, this child gave an order, except for holding him and the emperor's letter, no one should approach He Xuan." ”

In the evening, the old man Qi came to the prison, because it was the chief steward of Prince Xian's mansion who accompanied the old man Qi, and he took Yun Zhen's letter, so he saw He Xuan. When Old Man Qi pushed open the door, He Xuan stood at the table and practiced calligraphy.

"Why did you deliver food so early today? I'm not hungry yet, so I'll put it aside. He Xuan didn't raise his eyes, but said lightly.

Old Man Qi smiled loudly and said, "Dare to ask Lord He what he wants to enter?" ”

Hearing the voice, He Xuan turned his head, and when he saw that it was Master Qi, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and very surprised.

"Why did your old man come here, please take a seat."

As she spoke, He Xuan hurriedly gave up her seat to Old Lady Qi.

"You guys go out, I have something to say to Lord He."

Hearing Old Lady Qi's orders, the steward of the palace and the cell head in the heavenly prison all withdrew to the door and closed the door.

"They are really relieved, they are still closed the door, aren't they afraid that the old man will be hurt by you?"

"Is the old man afraid that the junior will hurt you?" He Xuan asked with a smile.

"I'm not afraid, I just think they're at ease with you."

"Hmph......" He Xuan smiled bitterly, "This door is hidden every day, and it is not locked, and even if it is locked, it is not impossible for me to get out." Just ......"

"What?"

"Since I have given up myself, I have never thought of running away, because my own selfishness has already involved many people, and I can't make mistakes again and again."

Hearing this, Old Man Qi nodded slightly.

"By the way, how is she?"

"He? Which he? ”

"Nishiki ...... Oh no, it's supposed to be Qi Mei, how is she? ”

Old Man Qi nodded.

"It's good that she's good, she's good, I'm relieved. Is Hui Ya good to her? ”

"Treat it like a treasure."

He Xuan's eyes suddenly moistened slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "That kid can be regarded as bitter." ”

After that, He Xuan sighed lightly, and then asked in a low voice, "That'...... Is it good to enter the mortal? ”

"What the hell ......" Old Man Qi stretched out his voice.

"What's wrong? What happened to him? Sick? Hurt? What's going on? ”

"You kid ......" Old Man Qi shook his head with a smile, "No." It's just that the pain of lovesickness is worse than injury. ”

When He Xuan heard this, her face turned red and she sat aside and was silent.

"The old man entered Beijing this time, and they also came back together."

"Them?" He Xuan repeated, and suddenly opened her eyes in panic, "The three of them are back?" ”

"Yes. What's wrong? ”

I saw He Xuan kneeling in front of Old Man Qi on both knees, and pleaded in a low voice: "Old man, I beg you, quickly take them out of this place." The sooner the better! ”

"Oh?"

"It's inconvenient for the juniors to say the specific things, but in order to keep them safe, please take them away quickly."

"Your mind is all on them, haven't you thought about yourself at all?"

Old Man Qi helped He Xuan up and asked softly.

His question seemed to wake up He Xuan.

No, how could this old man Qi see himself? I was with him just now, but the head of the Xian Wangfu, looking at his respectful appearance, it seemed that this old man Qi must have an extraordinary relationship with the palace.

"You...... Who exactly? He Xuan asked slowly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. As long as you know, Mei'er is my daughter-in-law, and Huiya is my son-in-law, that's enough. So, the safety of the three of them, you don't have to worry. But yourself, have you thought about the rest of the story? ”

He Xuan nodded.

"The younger generation actually has nothing to ask for now, but to die quickly, so as to eliminate the idea of others threatening others with the body of the junior."

"Do you really think so?"

"At this time, can the younger generation have anything else to think? That's just a luxury, and it can make things difficult for others. exchanging one's own body for the safety of several people, the younger generation feels that it is very worthwhile. ”

Old Man Qi nodded.

"Now that you've seen it, please go back, old man. In this prison, the anger is too heavy, and it is not good to stay for a long time. ”

"But do you have anything you want me to convey?"

He Xuan thought about it and smiled indifferently, "I can't hide the matter of my detention." But please don't tell them for the time being. If you really asked, you would say that you had an errand for the emperor and went outside. Of course, please let Marquis Zuo keep this matter a secret. Although he is thoughtful in doing things, he has also done things that put him at risk. And stop him, and when I am dead, you will help me tell him that I want him...... Live well. ”

"That's all?"

"Anything else, the younger generation can't think of it for a while...... As long as he is safe and sound, I will not pay for this life in vain. ”

Old Man Qi smiled, then pulled He Xuan over, whispered a few words, stuffed her with a brocade bag, then patted her on the shoulder, turned around and left the prison.

Sending off the old man Qi, He Xuan felt that his whole body seemed to be out of strength, and he collapsed on the chair weakly, he could be regarded as a clear explanation, and he could only resign himself to fate for the rest of the matter. I hope that he will still have a fate with Liao Yong in his life, I hope he can listen to his own words, live well, and don't practice himself, I hope it......

Although she had told herself that she couldn't cry anymore, when Liao Yong was mentioned, He Xuan still felt that the weakest part of her heart was deeply stung, and a little tears welled up in her eyes, out of control.

After leaving the prison, Old Man Qi handed Yun Zhen's letter to the chief steward, and then gave a few words and sent him away.

Watching the carriage of the palace go farther and farther, Master Qi got into the carriage when he came out and walked slowly towards the Liao family. Along the way, Old Man Qi kept thinking about what He Xuan said just now, and he was also reluctant in his heart.

Persuading others to serve the country and the world is none of their business, and when this thing really comes to themselves, that kind of reluctance and that kind of forbearance are not understandable to people who have not experienced it. Looking at such a child, who is in the prime of his youth, but wants to terminate his life at this time, Old Man Qi really can't bear it. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to do it again. Although, it also depends on luck, because Old Man Qi himself is not 100% sure that he can keep He Xuan's safety.

It's still the same sentence, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven. Old Man Qi said to himself.
