Feng Bao was shocked when he heard this, it was strictly forbidden for eunuchs and palace maids to eat each other, why did the emperor suddenly mention such a disobedient thing?

Mu Chengzhou threw the towel to him, "Put away this dirty thing, and keep it for your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Feng Bao heard it in a fog, so he had to nod his head.

At that time, Yanzi rushed over with a scroll of paper and said, "Your Majesty, the prisoners you threw into the dungeon at noon have all confessed, and they have all been detained. ”

Mu Chengzhou motioned for him to unfold the pledge, only to see that there were one hundred and ten people listed on it, most of them were Qian Heng's distant relatives, and even in order to eat some oil and water, they even threw away their surnames, changed their surnames to Qian, and swaggered and deceived everywhere, doing some stupid things such as corruption and tax evasion, and selling official positions.

Feng Bao was shocked, "Your Majesty, these people are the giant beetles of the country, and they must not be indulged lightly!" ”

Mu Chengzhou sneered: "Qian Heng is the only one in the household department, and he started doing these things as early as ten years ago. The old guy of the first emperor could never have imagined that his country was almost eaten up by this person. ”

After a pause, he said: "Spread my will, behead the leader, the family will migrate thousands of miles, and all the family wealth will be filled into the treasury; The followers were sentenced to 10 years in prison, and the stolen money was returned to the people after being identified. ”

Yanzi Feng Bao said together: "Your Majesty is wise, and the slave obeys the order!" ”

The news that the Qian family had been standing for many years and finally fell soon spread throughout the palace and beyond, and Qian Ling's heart to save his father was as urgent as fire, but there were very few people in this huge palace who could make friends.

Gan Tang saw her hesitant figure from a distance, and asked Yang Leyu for instructions: "Concubine, Miss Qian has been standing outside for a while, and it is estimated that she is interceding for Lord Qian's business, can you see it?" ”

Yang Leyu knows her difficulties very well, and she has been with her all the way for many days, how can she refuse to see her?

Then he asked Gan Tang to invite her in.

Qian Ling's face was like two people compared to the previous two days, her face was like ashes, and even her usual smile was swept away. The whole person lost a lot of weight, and the weak willow helped the wind to salute Yang Leyu.

"Sister, don't be polite, get up quickly." Yang Leyu hugged her.

Qian Ling shook her head and looked at Yang Leyu with tears in her eyes, "It is the blessing of a sinner to be able to kowtow to the concubine, if the sinner does not accept it, the sinner will be even more shameless." ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Yang Leyu felt sadness welling up in her heart. A good girl who is as bright as the wind has only become like this in a few days, how can it not be painful?

In the past, when the Qian family gained power, the threshold must have been broken, and now that it has fallen, it is estimated that there are not a few people who bite back or say mean things according to jokes.

She grew up too fast and too late.

Qian Ling took out a plum-colored silk sleeve skirt, and Yang Leyu recognized it at a glance, this was the one she tried on in the clothes shop in Bozhou.

Qian Ling said: "Concubine Niangniang, this is the only valuable thing on the sinner's body." The sinner girl's wealth is scattered, and there is nothing that can be used to honor the mother, begging the mother to look at the past feelings, and ask the sinner to plead with His Majesty the emperor for the sake of the sinner, and spare the father a way to live! ”

Yang Leyu gently took the brand-new water-sleeved skirt, remembering that she was provoked by a dwarf when Qian Ling tried on clothes that day, and wanted to leave Qian Ling on the spot......

Thinking of this, Yang Leyu's heart was full, and she also secreted a thin layer of tears, "Sister, I naturally want to help you, but Master Qian is guilty and heinous, and no one can save him." ”

Qian Ling lowered her eyes for a few breaths and sighed: "Thank you Niangniang, the sinner girl has retired." ”

Yang Leyu wanted to return this dress to her, but Qian Ling said: "I have the honor to meet my mother, and I have the right to give it to my mother as a gift." ”

When the words were finished, the man departed.

Yang Leyu looked at her emaciated back and couldn't let go for a long time.

Qian Ling walked out of Leyi Palace, and before she could take a few steps forward, she met Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan couldn't speak, so she stuffed her with a note.

Qian Ling opened it and took a look, and it read: Mrs. Dong of Yihuan Palace has invited Miss Qian to enter the palace to talk, which may be able to solve the urgent need.

Qian Ling's eyes lit up, "Please also ask my sister to lead the way, I want to see Mrs. Dong." ”

Xiao Huan took her to Yihuan Palace. Dong Ji had already prepared snacks and tea, and enthusiastically moved the chair to invite her to take a seat.

Qian Ling asked urgently: "Does Tai Ji Niangniang have a way to save her father?" ”

Dong Ji didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "How many people can't avoid this outlet, and it's common for Miss Qian to run into a wall in Leyi Palace." ”

Qian Ling bit her lip and said quietly: "It's not that the concubine doesn't want to save it, it's that my father's sin is too great......"

Dong Ji handed her a cup of tea, "Miss Qian is too kind, the palace is a big dye vat, where is there a person as pure and kind as you?" In fact, Yang Leyu is the most behind the people, if it weren't for her, how could Lord Qian fall into such a field today? ”

Qian Ling hesitated for a moment and took the teacup, "So can Tai Ji Niangniang save her father?" ”

Dong Ji bowed, "Who is the biggest in the world?" ”

Qian Ling: "Naturally, Your Majesty." ”

"Exactly." Dong Ji covered her lips and smiled lowly, "If you become a concubine, how can Your Majesty be embarrassed for your father-in-law?" Even if the old man really committed a heinous mistake, there must be a layer of love between men and women, and he will spare his life. ”

Qian Ling frowned: "But Your Majesty is Sister Yang's sweetheart, I can't ......"

"You silly girl!" Dong Ji interrupted her, "What is Yang Leyu's identity?" She is His Majesty's concubine! His Majesty is only filial to her, how can there be a friendship between men and women? Even if there is, it is a big disapproval of the world! ”

Qian Ling looked at Qingcha for a moment, then got up and saluted: "Thank you Dong Taiji for mentioning it, the sinner girl understands." ”

Qian Ling came out of Yihuan Palace and went straight to the Queen Mother's Buddhist Hall. Even though she has a hundred who are unwilling to enter the palace as concubines, she thinks that Mrs. Dong's words are not unreasonable, as long as she can save Qian Heng's life, she will have to give it a try.

The queen mother was copying scriptures at this time, and when she heard that the daughter of the Qian family asked to see her, she happily put her pen to usher.

As soon as they met, they took her hand, "Good boy, have you figured it out?" ”

Qian Ling wondered why the Queen Mother was so clear about her request.

The queen mother helped her sit on the futon, twisted the Buddhist beads and said: "Now that the matter is over, the mourning family might as well tell you." The mourning family had a good impression of your father when they were young, and they had to enter the palace only because the first emperor summoned the concubine. Who knew that as soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, so he was old and yellow, and he stayed up to this day. ”

Qian Ling was secretly shocked: "Then did the Queen Mother participate in ......" She lowered her voice: "Involved in this big corruption case?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing, "Who can tell the difference between black and white right and wrong in the world?" ”

Qian Ling guessed nine times out of ten and stopped asking.

The queen mother said: "You are your father's only bloodline, and the mourning family looks at you very similar to your father's strength when he was young, he was also so innocent and kind at the beginning, but he was smoothed out by the years and human feelings, so that he made today's mistakes."

You want to save your father, and the mourning family also wants to, but the mourning family and the emperor cannot tolerate water and fire, so they can only entrust you to take care of them. ”
