Then I felt useless.
She controls the life and death of a group of women in the harem, but can't save her father's life. She seems to be under one person and over ten thousand people, but at the most critical moment, she can't do anything except kneel on the ground.
Before a drop of water entered, he knelt down for a whole day and night, and finally, the door on the opposite side opened.
"Queen." Hongli walked slowly to her, "You knelt all night, are you threatening me?"
Li Yu held a lantern in her hand. The lantern light shone on the face of the follower, causing tears in her eyes. She raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, the disaster relief food has been exploited layer by layer. When it reaches Ama, there is nothing left."
Hongli was stunned.
"Do you know how other porridge factories do it?" He then questioned him word by word, "either exploiting the local gentry and wealthy businessmen, or using bark and grass roots to make up for it, coupled with heavy military pressure, the victims dare not get angry. Yan. I am the most stupid. His family visited the nobles, but he was not good at coercion and enticing, so he got too little. So he took out all the family wealth, including the house and land given by the emperor, and sold them all. There's even... and his own house, which is the last of his possessions."
Successor has never been a person who is willing to sit still.
She knew that it was difficult to impress Hongli with feelings alone, so she tried her best to prove one thing... to prove that her father was innocent, so she did not hesitate to go to Hongli and ask him to help her find out about the situation outside.
As for why Hong Zhou was obedient to her older brother's woman... She didn't want to think about it for the time being.
"...When the victims were rioting, he was reluctant to send out soldiers, for fear of hurting the unarmed people, but they almost killed him! The atrocities of the victims angered the soldiers, so there were subsequent casualties." Said, "Is he really incompetent? He can't bear it, he can't!"
Hongli sighed: "I know."
This answer made the heart of the follower half cold.
he knows…
He clearly knew, but he was reluctant to release his father.
Afterwards, I immediately understood that Hongli's delay in letting people go was not because he didn't believe it, but because he couldn't.
This answer made her bones and blood go cold for a moment, her eyes were blank, and her body was shaky for a moment, she bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, and said with the last glimmer of hope: "…I understand that you have many difficulties, so, no Dare to ask your forgiveness, just for the sake of his dedication... spare his life!"
Hongli looked at the woman in front of him. She was not his favorite woman, but the best queen. She had all the advantages that Wei Yingluo did not have. She was respectful and obedient, virtuous and virtuous, never complaining or demanding. It was handed over to her, and everything was in order.
Not thinking of credit, but also of hard work, Hongli really couldn't bear to refuse such a woman who had sacrificed so much for him and for the harem, so he sighed and stretched out his hand to help her up: "Okay, I won't kill him, you go first... Queen, Empress! Come! Inherit the imperial doctor!"
Xu Shi had been kneeling on the ground for too long and had been hungry for too long, and then suddenly fainted in great joy.
When she woke up leisurely, she was already lying in the bedroom of Chengqian Hall.
Zhener personally served the soup, and then she ate a little, then asked her, "Did I release Amma?"
"The emperor has ordered that the master be exempted from the death penalty and distributed to Ning Guta." Zhen'er handed a spoonful of the soup to her lips, "The one responsible for this is Prince He."
Then he pushed open the spoon: "When did you order?"
Jane: "Just today."
Afterwards: "Quick, help me pack some things, and let Prince He help me deliver them to Ama."
Zhener originally wanted her to continue to lie down, so she would pack up by herself, but she would continue to lie on the bed, struggled to get up, and packed a package with her.
"Ning Gu Pagoda is a place of bitter cold." Then he stuffed a thick piece of clothing into his bag, "Bring more thick clothing... Where's the medicine?"
"Here." Jane handed over a bottle of wound medicine.
Then, while stuffing the medicine bottle in, he babbled: "His leg was injured. There is no good doctor on the way, and there is no time to recuperate. I only hope that these wound medicines can reduce some of his pain..."
Baifa with black hair is miserable, and black hair with white hair is also miserable. Ning Guta is separated from the capital by thousands of miles.
A bag can't hold a daughter's feelings at all. It is stuffed in and taken out the same way. In the end, it is full of baggage, and there are many things that can't be put in next to it.
"Go." Then he said tiredly, "Help Ben Gong pass this burden to Prince He."
Zhen Er hugged her burden tightly, nodded, and asked her before leaving: "Is there anything else I need to bring to the master for you with the prince?"
Afterwards, he gave a wry smile and stroked the knee pad in the bag through the furoshiki: "Tell him... my daughter is not filial, so I can't send him off in person. Please take good care of him."
Jane nodded and left.
Leaving him in the room, he brought over the unfinished soup and medicine, and finished it by spoonful.
"Does Ning Guta have hot soup to drink?" She couldn't help but start to wonder, "Is the clothes you prepared thick enough... Ning Guta, it's really cold, very cold... "
The door creaked.
Then he turned his head and asked with a weak smile, "How are things going?"
"Niangniang..." Zhen'er hesitated, looking strange.
Then the smile on his face disappeared little by little, and his cold fingers clenched the medicine bowl in his hand: "Speak! What happened?"
"Niangniang..." Zhen'er paused for a while, and finally choked up, "Master... committed suicide."
In the prison, there was no daylight, only the torches on the walls and the jailer's hands were burning, and the flickering light illuminated the corpse in front of him.
Carrying the blue cloth bundle that Zhener gave him, Hong Zhou stood in front of the corpse with a gloomy expression.
The seven orifices were bleeding, and the eyes were full of hideous eyes. One hand was still grasping at the throat, as if trying to pull something out of the throat.
Suicide by poison
"...Where did the poison come from in the prison?" Hong Zhou gritted his teeth, roaring in his heart, "He definitely didn't commit suicide!"
He didn't believe it, and naturally he didn't believe it when he was a daughter.
After a two-day hunger strike, Hongli finally came to Chengqian Hall helplessly.
"Your Majesty." On the bed, with his long hair scattered and wearing only a white coat, he slowly turned his head and stared at him with clear black and white eyes, "You're finally here."
Hongli stood with his hands behind his back: "Queen, my will is one step behind."
Hearing this explanation, he didn't say a word after that, still staring straight at him.
"... I have decreed that someone will arrange Na'erbu's funeral." Hongli said, "If you want to do it yourself, I can also agree."
After saying so many explanations, he remained silent after that, just staring at him blindly, making him feel a little hairy.
"...You have a good rest." Hongli finally said, but just as he turned around, the successor behind him spoke up.
"Did the emperor kill him?"
Hongli took a step: "No."
After staring at his back, this time it was no longer a question, but affirmed: "That is the hand of the queen mother."
Hongli turned back suddenly: "Queen! Your Ama committed suicide!"
His explanation, or his cover-up, made the successor laugh and couldn't help himself.
"My Amma, he is honest and stupid, but he is a human being, and he will cherish his life if he is a human being." Then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Otherwise, he would not have let go a few days ago. Come to me with dignity... You say how could such a person commit suicide?"
"Empress." Hongli said solemnly, "The person has already left, and there is no point in pursuing it."
Then he smiled at him: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, and I have become a corrupt official in the eyes of the world. I committed suicide in prison in fear of crime. As his daughter, I have to pretend that I didn't see anything, just a word. Don't you say anything?"
Hongli fell silent.
No matter how virtuous, no matter how obedient, the successor is still a person, and a person has both parents and parents, and will be furious at the injustice suffered by his parents, and even risk his own life.
"...Empress, I know you are very sad." Hongli also knew this. He couldn't bear to blame her, but he couldn't bear to blame another woman, "You can blame me, hate me, but don't blame the queen mother."
But why don't you blame or hate it when you call it Jishou
If Narbu was really greedy for the disaster relief money and ended up like this, she would have nothing to say.
The problem is he doesn't.
Her father, instead of being greedy for money and food for disaster relief, used his entire net worth to fill the hole, and in the end he had to lose his life. The results of it? Destroyed and discredited by the world.
"Emperor." The follower would never swallow this bad breath, she sneered, "Do you really think that the Queen Mother's actions are completely selfless?"
Hongli's face sank: "Queen, no matter how sad you are, you shouldn't be rude to the Queen Mother."
After sneering, she asked Hongzhou to check the truth for her, but what she found was not only the innocent news of her father. Now that her father is dead, there is no need for her to hide it for others, and she immediately said, "Do you know that the Queen Mother's nephew is also involved in the case of corruption?"
Jane was startled, and quietly tugged at the next sleeve.
"...As early as when Ama's case happened, the Queen Mother's brother and sister-in-law entered the palace to plead for mercy. Once a thorough investigation was carried out, the Queen Mother's family would also be implicated." The follower did not care, "So, she did not hesitate to push Ama is going to be a scapegoat!"
"Master!" Zhener was frightened, and immediately took her hand, "Don't say anything!"
The other palace servants also knelt down and bowed their heads, wishing they were deaf, so they didn't have to hear such a terrible secret.
Then he pushed away Zhener, turned over, walked all the way to Hongli, with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, officials are greedy, faint, cunning, and the same is true of the flowery harem! Everyone is an actor, sing a prosperous and prosperous world, clear and bright world, join forces to deceive you, deceive you, even if you sleep at night and eat at night, you will not be able to protect the aggrieved ministers, and you will not be able to kill the greedy beetles. !"
This time, Hongli stared at her for a long time.
"... Li Yu." He finally said, "The queen is ill, and the imperial physician will treat her."
By the time he left, Zhener was already sweating like rain, she didn't even have the strength to stand, she slumped on the edge of the bed, and said with a sigh of relief: "Miss, don't say such things again, the emperor didn't punish you today, next time It’s hard to say back…”
"Yeah, obviously I didn't say anything wrong, but it was me who was punished." Afterwards, he said quietly, "It is obviously the queen mother who did the wrong thing, but because her son is the emperor, she doesn't have to be punished..."
"Queen!" Zhener rushed over, eager to reach out and cover her mouth.
Fortunately, after the next sentence, she became silent again, a candlestick was burning on the table, and she kept staring at the flickering candle.
The fire was out, and Jane brought a new wax over and rekindled it.
The flame that was born out of nothing jumped into the eyes of the follower, illuminating a cluster of ambitions that were born out of nothing.
"I originally thought that being an empress would allow me to sit back and relax, protect me, and protect my family." Then he thought to himself, "It turns out that being an empress is not enough, I have to be an empress dowager and have a son who is an emperor. To protect yourself, to protect your family…”
