180. I want to go to Liaozhou
When I arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, it was not as simple as Qingrong's appearance.
is also simply, after Princess Yongping successfully pinched the new emperor, she only put the queen mother under house arrest and ignored it all the time. The supervision of the inner eunuchs and palace maids was not so strict.
The palace people around the Queen Mother are all new to the Queen Mother's side, and they have never seen Qingrong.
Qingrong took the token and said: "The eldest princess said that Lord Shen had some contacts with the Queen Mother in the past, let me ask carefully, and the Queen Mother knows the whereabouts of Lord Shen." ”
As soon as he heard that the people around Princess Yongping were coming, no one dared to say anything, so he naturally gave way to Qingrong, and the waiter led Qingrong into the door with great diligence.
Qingrong had been in and out of the queen mother's bedroom countless times before, and the first emperor was a very filial person. The queen mother's bedroom is particularly gorgeous, and the courtyard is full of flowers and trees all year round. As far as the eye can see, there is always a thriving scene. It's quiet and comfortable, but it's not bleak at all. From the Yimen to the palace, three or five steps is a sprinkling of the chamberlain and the palace maid.
But now Qingrong went to the queen mother's bedroom, all he saw was dead branches and leaves, and it was about to be the end of the year, and there was not even a red lantern in the palace that corresponded to the occasion, and there was no Spring Festival couplets with the word Fu.
There are only a few palace maids outside the dormitory, and they don't look like they are waiting for the queen mother to summon them to enter the door to serve, most of them are monitoring the queen mother.
After the inner eunuch who led Qingrong finished speaking, these guards and palace maids immediately accompanied and smiled: "It turned out to be the aunt of the imperial front, please sit inside." ”
didn't even make a report, so they made decisions for the queen mother inside. It can be seen how low Li Jingruo's status is at this time.
There was no heat at all in the inner sanctum, and it was as cold inside the door as it was outside.
Li Jingruo was sitting on the innermost couch at the moment, surrounded by a quilt, and when she saw someone coming in, she didn't move, like a wooden person.
Qingrong turned around and thanked the waiter, and said, "I just talk to the Queen Mother, you don't have to follow." Can my father-in-law have a charcoal basin? It was too cold in the house. ”
The waiter immediately nodded and said, "I've gone, where do you dare to freeze the aunt next to the eldest princess." So saying, the chamberlain immediately went out of the house.
Li Jingruo heard Qingrong's voice, and then seemed to suddenly come to life, and immediately turned his head to look at Qingrong.
Qingrong put her finger to her lips and shook her head at Li Jingruo, signaling her not to speak yet.
"The eldest princess wants to ask the Queen Mother, but she knows the whereabouts of Lord Shen."
Li Jingruo seemed to understand what was the reaction and quickly said, "Lord Shen, what Lord Shen?" Which Lord Shen? ”
Qingrong took the trouble to mention himself to Li Jingruo, and when the two were talking, the waiter had already brought the charcoal basin in. Waiting for others to go out again, Qingrong approached Li Jingruo.
Li Jingruo's emotions were quite excited, and she immediately got down from the couch, threw herself in front of Qingrong, and said, "Girl, help me." ”
Qingrong sighed faintly and asked Li Jingruo: "How much do you know about Princess Yongping's plans." ”
If Li Jing didn't dare to hide his heart with Qingrong anymore, he would have explained everything to Qingrong.
"I only know that Princess Yongping wants to make a rebellion, she wants to support my son to be the emperor and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. She promised me that I would be the queen mother and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. ”
Qingrong couldn't help but smile coldly, and said: "Aren't you the queen mother now, and you must have no worries about food and clothing in this life." Princess Yongping probably doesn't have the strength to kill you. ”
Li Jingruo cried: "I thought, I thought that Princess Yongping was greedy for power, she was a woman, and she couldn't be the emperor." ”
Qingrong sneered and laughed, "But now? ”
Li Jingruo looked at Qingrong with some horror and said, "Now, looking at it now, I actually want to be the emperor." Li Jingruo said, still uneasy and said: "But woman, how can a woman be an emperor." ”
Qingrong didn't want to discuss with Li Jingruo whether a woman could be an emperor or not, not to mention the social situation of Daliang, just because Princess Yongping was already a little perverted, she was not suitable to be an emperor at all.
Li Jingruo suddenly remembered something, and asked Qingrong, "Miss Shen, how did you escape?" ”
Qingrong only said simply, and then asked Li Jingruo: "If I want to escape from the palace, do you have a way?" ”
Li Jingruo has been in the palace for so many years, so she is naturally more familiar with and understands the inner court better than Qingrong, not to mention that Li Jingruo has successfully helped the queen out of the palace.
"If there is a dead person in the palace, the Xi Guanju will push the person out of the palace."
Qingrong's eyes lit up, and he asked Li Jingruo: "Where is the Xi official bureau?" ”
Li Jingruo instructed Qingrong how to go to the Xi Official Bureau, and Qingrong did not delay much and said goodbye to her.
"Miss Shen, you, don't forget our mother and son!"
Qingrong held her hand and said, "I helped you enter the palace back then, and I won't ignore you." No matter how much Princess Yongping is, she won't dare to touch you and the emperor for a while. ”
Qingrong followed Li Jingruo's instructions and went to the Xi Official Bureau, she was originally worried about what to do if there were no dead people in the Xi Official Bureau for a while. Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the Xi Official Bureau, he didn't want to have more than a dozen dead people, but they were not old people, but many young palace maids and chamberlains.
Qingrong didn't dare to delay, and went directly into a dead man wrapped in a mat.
In fact, she was very scared, but at the moment, in order to escape from the control of Princess Yongping, she really had no way at all.
It was not until the next day that Qingrong felt that someone was carrying these corpses and throwing them into the car, Qingrong held his breath and did not dare to move.
The corpse truck stopped and stopped, and I don't know how long it took for Qingrong to be dumped out of the car like garbage. She didn't dare to move, so she waited until the sky was completely dawn before Qingrong got up from the pile of corpses.
Qingrong finally saw clearly that it was Yuan Qi who was covering for him all the way, in addition to Yuan Qi, there were also some people who served the emperor in the past, Li Jingruo, and the queen, Qingrong was very familiar with them.
Qingrong saw the corpses of so many familiar people, and the whole person seemed to have invaded ice water, and his cold body trembled from the inside out. It's terrible, and I still remember the scene of these people talking to themselves.
Qing held back her tears, turned around and ran out.
She didn't know where it was, but the corpses transported from the palace were thrown in the chaotic funeral post outside the capital. It is surrounded by barren graves and dense forests.
Qingrong was in tears, and he didn't know how long he had been running, until he was exhausted, Qingrong knelt on the ground and couldn't help crying loudly.
She has been in Daliang for so long, she has never been so helpless at this moment, she suddenly misses Song Zhao, misses Song Zhao like crazy.
To go to Liaozhou, she must go to Liaozhou, find Song Zhao, and never be separated from Song Zhao again.
Qingrong has no money on him, let alone anything of value. She turned seven times and eight times, and finally arrived at Huizhaoan.
But standing at the foot of Huizhao'an, Qingrong was a little hesitant. She couldn't think of what kind of help she could ask for when she went to Huizhao'an. She gave Huizhaoan a lot of silver in the past, but she can't give it back now?
The benevolent hall next to Huizhao Nunnery is the responsibility of the foundation, but now that the foundation has long been in the hands of Princess Yongping, I am afraid it can't be counted on.
Qingrong was thinking about it, but heard someone suddenly shout, "Sister Shen." ”
Qingrong turned his head, but it was none other than Cong'er, Guo Cong.
Six years ago, Yuan Heng sent Guo Cong to the Wei State Mansion, as the first rescue plan for the families of military martyrs, Guo Cong has now grown into a young man.
When Guo Cong saw that it was Qingrong, he became more and more excited, but he more cautiously pulled Qingrong into the forest on the side, and whispered: "Sister Shen, you are now wanted inside and outside the capital." ”
Shen Qingrong was not surprised at all, and asked Guo Cong directly: "Is there any news from the north?" ”
Guo Cong nodded towards Shen Qingrong and said, "The battle situation in the north is stalemate. ”
Qingrong wanted to ask Guo Cong again, but after thinking about it, I'm afraid that Guo Cong didn't know much.
"Is Shantang good?" Qingrong asked with a pleasant greeting.
Guo Cong shook his head and said, "The monthly rules of Shantang have been reduced, we boys have been suspended, and the civil and martial masters who teach us have been cut. ”
Qingrong knew that the eldest princess began to vigorously adjust the ratio of social resources between men and women, such as schooling, forced labor, imperial examinations and other related activities.
Qingrong couldn't help but sigh, and told Guo Cong: "Fortunately, you are studying in Guozijian now, and you don't expect the masters of Shantang anymore." ”
Guo Cong shook his head and said, "Guozijian has been suspended." ”
Qingrong was by Princess Yongping's side, but he hadn't heard of such words.
Guo Cong said: "The eldest princess let women go to school, and they go to school like men. Therefore, the teachers and classmates of Guozijian objected and suspended the class on their own. Guo Cong said, with some panic and sadness on his face, and said: "Guozi supervised the sacrificial wine, and he was beheaded yesterday to show the public. ”
Qingrong was also a little speechless.
"Sister Shen, what are your plans?" Guo Cong's eyes flickered, and he asked expectantly.
Qingrong didn't hide it from him, and said bluntly: "I'm going to Liaozhou." ”
Guo Cong said: "Sister, can I go to Liaozhou with you?" ”
Qingrong agreed without much thought.
Guo Cong is both civil and military, and now in this situation, it is much safer for her to take Guo Cong to Liaozhou than to go to Liaozhou by herself.
However, Qingrong was a little worried, and said: "Although I want to go to Liaozhou, I escaped from the palace and have nothing to lose." ”
Guo Cong already had an idea, and said: "I'll go back and clean up, although I don't have any silver, but there have been a lot of monthly cases in Shantang in the past few years, and I also have some savings." ”
Qingrong nodded, "As long as I am far away from the capital, I will have a way to make money." ”
Guo Cong did not delay, quietly went back to Shantang to pack up his baggage, and took a piece of his own clean clothes for Qingrong, and asked her to change into men's clothes.
The two left the capital on foot, all the way to Daxing County.
In the camp of the Liao army on the border of Liaozhou, the soldiers gathered in the big tent to discuss the battle strategy. There was clearly a disagreement inside, and there were constant quarrels.
"I'm going to carry out another surprise attack with artillery tonight, and I can't let the battle situation go on like this."
