Lu Zhiyu cried bitterly: "After the prince was abolished, she and the other four concubines were imprisoned. Each of them had only one personal maid to serve them. There were three concubines who couldn't get used to the hard life and had no children. The one who threw herself into the well Wells, some hanged themselves, and one died after swallowing gold."
Qingguan felt sad in his heart. Six years of living in darkness, with no hope from birth, how could those weak women endure it? It would be better to die and be clean.
"My sister has a resolute temperament. She was holding her breath after suffering this misfortune. With a rich body, she personally took care of the prince and his two children's food, clothing, housing and transportation. As time went by, the root cause of her illness became apparent."
Lu Zhiyu thought about what happened to her eldest sister, and felt sad and shed tears.
Qing Guan said bitterly: "Why didn't you ask the imperial doctor to see you?" Lu Zhiyu looked around and lowered her voice: "She kept it secret and did not send news to the outside world. Last summer, the prince had an accident and she fainted from shock. Only then did she realize that something was wrong. She also asked the imperial doctor to ask her for a pulse check, but the imperial doctor said that her illness was a heart disease and there was no cure.
News came that it was getting heavier. "
Qingguan's eyebrows trembled slightly and she said, "Do you want me to help you take a look?"
Lu Zhiyu shook her head and said: "Although Duke Dingguo's mansion is in dire straits, it can still be done by spending some money to bribe the guards to send a doctor in. I have quietly changed several doctors, but they all say that it can't be cured, and it just delays the day. You I also know that she has always wanted to be strong, but everything is easy to break."
Qingguan secretly gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.
Of the two golden flowers born directly from the Lu family, one became a noble princess, while the other married to Jiangnan. Everyone said that Lu Zhiqing had a good destiny and was destined to reach the top position one day.
Who knows that in less than ten years, one of them has fallen from the clouds and is dying, while the other is protected by her husband and is living safely.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes come upon them. Until the end of life, how can we tell the winner from the loser.
Qingguan sighed: "I am going to Beijing in the new year. You should have told me earlier and secretly thought of a way to go and take a look. With my medical skills, not to mention saving lives, I can more or less delay it."
Lu Zhiyu sobbed: "My parents were afraid that I would worry, so they always hid it from me. If I hadn't caught some clues this time, I might have kept it a secret. Now... it's all gone, and it's too late to say anything."
"How did he say?"
Lu Zhiyu understood that the "he" in Qingguan's mouth refers to the prince, and said: "Now that he believes in Buddhism, he also invited the imperial doctor to see him. Later, he said that life and death are impermanent, so there is no need to be obsessed with greed, and he can be liberated as soon as possible. Go to the paradise world."
He was quite open-minded, Qingguan sneered again and again.
Because of one of his stupid actions, many people died unjustly for him, but he calmly said that he didn't need to be obsessed and greedy. If he had the ability, why didn't he die
Hatred welled up in her heart, Qingguan gritted her teeth and said: "After all, he is a heartless person. I am not worth it for Sister Qing."
"dying!"
Lu Zhiyu covered her mouth and said sternly: "This is what you said, this is life."
Qingguan ground his molars and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
The inner residence of Chiang Kai-shek.
Wu Yanling was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror, with coldness in her eyes. With a flick of her hand, the hairpin ring and jewelry on the table fell to pieces.
The maids were all kneeling, and no one dared to come forward to persuade her.
Hua Yang heard the noise outside, his chest rose and fell twice, he picked up the tea cup in his hand and threw it on the ground, then opened the curtain and went into the inner room.
"Get out of here, everyone."
The maids turned pale with fright and hurriedly left the room.
Hua Yang stepped forward, with a careful look on his face, and said softly: "My son, don't be upset..."
"Mother!"
Wu Yanling stood up quickly, looked at her coldly, and said quietly: "So this is how my mother loves me?"
"this… "
"What did my mother say to her daughter when she came back yesterday? It was just one night, and everything changed. Could it be that mother... was teasing her daughter on purpose." The daughter's words hit Huayang's heart like a sharp arrow.
Huayang was speechless when asked, what regrets he had.
Yesterday I was just too happy, thinking Mrs. Zhang understood her feelings, but she never asked which daughter in the house she was talking about and what to do now.
When Wu Yanling saw that she was silent, tears burst out of her eyes, and she burst into tears and said: "Mother, my daughter followed you to Gu's Mansion and suffered all the glares from everyone. These daughters have endured it, but today I have to suffer such injustice. If my daughter can't bear it, it's better to be hanged." You can become a nun by getting your hair cut off, and you’ll still be clean.”
After saying that, she rushed to the edge of the kang, picked up the scissors from the sewing basket, and cut off the shiny black braid.
Zhao Huayang was so frightened that he shouted, "My son!" He rushed over and snatched it away.
Wu Yanling's hand was empty, and her heart was empty, as if it was blocked by something.
Growing up, she studied music, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and needlework etiquette. No one would praise her wherever she went. Even when she returned to the palace, the girls in the palace were not as good as her.
It's better now. The Jiang family would rather have a lunatic than her. How could she endure such frustration and embarrassment. The grievances in her heart suddenly surged into her heart. She covered her face with a veil and cried, heartbroken.
Hua Yang's internal organs were twisted together by her daughter's crying, and she wanted to stab him in the heart with the scissors in her hand.
If she had known what was happening today, she should have been ruthless in the first place instead of being soft-hearted and leaving this scourge behind.
A lunatic actually tried to steal her daughter's marriage. He was so bold that the matter was not over yet.
Wu Yanling cried for a while, but when her mother didn't come to comfort her, she became more and more angry. She dropped her handkerchief and was about to have a fit, but was startled by the vicious look on her face and said hurriedly: "Mom, you must not Act rashly, plan everything before you act.”
Hua Yang's eyes flashed and he said, "Of course we have to make a decision before we act. There is only one girl in this house who can marry into the Jiang family. How could I let a lunatic ruin our good deeds?"
The words were confusing, but Wu Yanling understood in her heart. Her marriage to the Jiang family was the intention of Prince Lao Qing's palace, and it involved all aspects.
Whether I marry the sixth master or the seventh master of the Jiang family, I cannot do without the word Jiang. But once the lunatic is replaced, things will be different. The Jiang family has nothing to do with the old King Qing.
Wu Yanling wanted to understand this, and she felt inexplicably determined. Why was she so anxious here? The one who was most anxious was her grandfather's house.
She pursed her lips and her eyes were bottomless, "Mother, let's go discuss this with grandma."
Hua Yang understood instantly.
The old princess has a lot of knowledge and skills, so she will definitely be able to stand up for Sister Ling.
"Go back to Grandma, the princess and her daughter have asked people to prepare horses. They plan to go to Prince Lao Qing's Mansion now." Pan Liang's family said in a low voice.
"What can you find out?" Ms. Zhou put down the account book in her hand.
"I only heard a few words. Miss Ling wanted to twist her hair and become a sister-in-law, but the princess refused, so the two of them cried a lot."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou secretly made some calculations in her heart. What on earth happened to make the mother and daughter rush back to their parents' home.
Pan Liang's body was hunched, and his voice was lowered, "Grandma, Sister Ling shouted, saying that she was wronged."
"Wronged? Who in this house dares to wrong her?"
The suspicion in Zhou's eyes became even more intense. She patted her thigh and said, "It seems like there is really something hidden here?"
"Grandma is right, but she's not in the house right now, so she can't find out." Pan Liang's family agreed.
"Don't worry, she can't stay in the palace forever. There will come a time when we all know. Go and send me half a catty of good bird's nests, little girl."
"Grandma, are you going to..."
Mrs. Zhou rubbed her chubby hands and said: "This lunatic's fortune has changed. We have to coax him. Let her lead a string and build a sedan chair in the middle to see if we can get the two young masters to worship in the name of the Great Sacrificial Wine." ”
Pan Liang's family's food is sweet and bitter, and half a catty of the best bird's nests was given to that madman for nothing. It is really heartbreaking.
If it were in the past, she could still cut off this good thing without knowing it, but she might not be able to do it.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Grandma is wise. As long as you can bow to the Jiang family, it will be easy to be among the top three in high school, let alone pass the national examination. Grandma, your blessing has come."
Mrs. Zhou was so flattered that she felt so flattered that she had a proud smile on her face.
Zhao Jingyan stood outside Changle Palace, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered, waiting for the emperor's summons.
After about half a cup of tea, Eunuch Li came out dusting the Buddha dust and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has invited you."
Zhao Jingyan raised her handsome eyebrows, put her big hand on Eunuch Li's shoulder, and said with a half-smile, "Good thing, bad thing?"
Eunuch Li replied briefly, "Not bad, not bad."
The old guy has a mouth as tight as a river clam. Zhao Jingyan cursed a few words, straightened her clothes, and walked in with a sullen face.
Eunuch Li looked up at his back and shook his head slightly.
In the Changle Palace, candlelight lit up, and a bright yellow figure was sitting on the couch meditating. Hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes.
Zhao Jingyan hurriedly came forward to kowtow and salute.
"Why haven't you come to drink porridge recently?" Emperor Baoqing's voice was as low as ever.
"Back to my father, I have been... very busy recently."
Emperor Baoqing got up from the couch, walked up to Zhao Jingyan, and said, "I'm just busy when I have nothing to do. I'm not busy when I should be busy."
Although the tone was scolding and a little resentful, it was the tone that Zhao Jingyan was familiar with. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a playful smile: "Father, I am busy with serious things."
Emperor Baoqing looked at him deeply, then walked back to the couch and said, "Get up and talk."
Zhao Jingyan got up from the ground without sitting on the chair. She came to the couch, came closer and said with a smile: "My father called me here. Isn't it just for porridge?"
"Lao Ba, how old are you this year?"
A sharp light flashed through his eyes, and Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "Father, my son is already eighteen years old."
"Eighteen years old, not too young." The understatement made Zhao Jingyan's face startled.
