Master Liao Er
That is her father.
Liao Qingqing asked anxiously, "What happened to Master Liao Er?"
He Xiang hesitantly said: "Say, say yes—"
"What is it?" Liao Qingqing raised her voice involuntarily.
"It is said that the second master is embezzling and taking bribes, forming a party for personal gain."
Corruption and bribery
Partisanship
Liao Qingqing has the memory of the original owner and knows very well the person of Master Liao Er and Ji Shi. They are weak, incompetent and afraid of Master Liao, but they are not greedy people.
Last year, Liao Guiren lost his honor in front of the royal court. Master Liao approached them. He wanted to find her through them and intercede with Liao Guiren. They immediately wrote to her.
Write three letters in a row.
Also sent a bill.
After she firmly refused, they did not intercede for Liao Guiren again.
Deliberately returned the silver note to Master Liao.
If it wasn't for the emperor's promotion to Mr. Liao Er, Ji's family probably wouldn't have written to her. The content of this letter was for her sake everywhere, thanking the emperor for his kindness.
It can be seen that they are very satisfied with the life in front of them.
How can corruption take bribes
How is it possible to form a party for selfishness
So why are there accusations of corruption, bribery and gang association
Someone framed
right!
Someone has been framed!
The purpose of the framing is... her
Liao Qingqing shuddered, she looked at He Xiang in disbelief.
He Xiang said: "I heard that the second master has been arrested."
"Caught?"
"Yes."
"Who caught it?"
"The slave does not know."
"Where's the second lady?"
"The slave does not know."
Liao Qingqing was a little flustered, she put down the pen, got up and walked out of the study, only to walk to the corridor, when she saw Chang Momo next to the Queen Mother coming over.
Aunt Chang? !
Liao Qingqing's heart tightened.
Did the Queen Mother also hear about the Liao Mansion
She suppressed the panic in her heart and greeted Mother Chang.
Knowing that the Queen Mother had something to do with her, she quickly changed into simple and elegant clothes, followed Mother Chang to the Jubilee Palace, stepped into the Queen Mother's palace, and turned around to see the Queen Mother offering incense.
She automatically stopped.
Mother Chang said, "Xi Zhaorong will wait here for a while."
Liao Qingqing nodded.
Aunt Chang left.
Liao Qingqing looked at the queen mother in place.
The queen mother put a stick of incense into the incense burner, folded her hands and bowed to the Buddha incense again, then turned around, looked at Liao Qingqing, and said, "Xi Zhaorong, you are here."
"Yes." Liao Qingqing naturally stepped forward to help the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother glanced at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing lowered her head slightly.
"Sit." The Queen Mother walked into the hall, pointed to the chair and said, "Drink tea."
"Thank you, Empress."
Liao Qingqing sat opposite the Queen Mother as usual.
But she didn't have any leisure time, and all she thought about was Master Liao Er's business.
The Queen Mother drank tea leisurely and said slowly, "Have you heard about your father?"
Liao Qingqing was shocked and said, "Concubine heard about it."
"Where did you hear it?"
"I heard it in the garden when the maid of the concubine went out to pick flowers."
The queen mother nodded and asked again, "What do you want to say?"
What do you want to say
Are you wronged
Fraudulent
Liao Qingqing was silent for a moment and said: "Back to the queen mother, the concubine has just heard about this, and I don't know what the truth is."
The empress dowager nodded slightly and said, "Ai's family doesn't know what's going on, but the emperor will come over in a while, and he'll know what's going on."
"The emperor is coming?" Liao Qingqing was surprised.
"You're not in Lisheng Pavilion, he naturally wants to come here."
Liao Qingqing did not answer, and became nervous.
As expected, a notification from Fusheng came from outside the hall: "The emperor is here—"
Then Emperor Jingli strode in.
Liao Qingqing immediately bowed to Emperor Jingli.
"Get up." Emperor Jingli said.
Liao Qingqing got up slowly, raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Jing Li, there was no special expression on Emperor Jing Li's cold face, but she could feel that Emperor Jing Li was a little unhappy.
She understands this very well.
Emperor Jingli spent eight years destroying all political parties.
Dedicated to wanting the people of Great Wei to live a good life.
In my life, I hate gangs, corruption and bribery.
As a result, the second Master Liao, whom he single-handedly picked, occupied both of them.
Can he be happy
Liao Qingqing was silent.
Emperor Jingli respectfully saluted the Queen Mother.
"Sit down." The Queen Mother said.
Emperor Jingli sat down, and Liao Qingqing sat down with him.
Only then did the queen mother ask: "Emperor, what happened to the Aijia who heard that Liao Shiwen, the judge Liao, was corrupt and bribery and formed a party for personal gain?"
Emperor Jingli did not answer.
Liao Qingqing's hands trembled slightly.
The queen mother said again: "Aijia heard that the emperor is because this Liao Shiwen is an upright person and is not greedy for wealth and honor, and he was specially promoted from the county magistrate to a judge. He is in charge of grain transportation, water conservancy, and supervision under the prefect. How can he be corrupt?"
Emperor Jingli said, "This matter is still unclear."
The empress dowager said calmly, "Why did it spread all over the harem?"
"It should be spread by someone with a heart."
Hearing this, Liao Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli's face was still not very good-looking.
She looked at the queen mother again.
The queen mother nodded and said calmly: "Since it is spread by someone with a heart, then find someone with a heart."
"My son knows." Emperor Jingli said.
"How is Judge Liao doing now?"
"Temporarily detained."
"What about his family?"
"In Liao Mansion, officers and soldiers are watching."
"Until things are clear, and don't hurt anyone."
"My mother said yes."
"Oh, it's really worrying."
The queen mother sighed softly and turned to look at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing lowered his head slightly.
She heard every word of the Queen Mother and Emperor Jingli.
Her father was imprisoned for corruption and bribery.
There is nothing she can do.
Maybe even under the influence of her father, she fell in the harem.
Because no emperor can allow his concubines to be ambitious.
Emperor Jingli was no exception.
At this moment, she was even more determined that Mr. Liao Er did not commit corruption and bribery.
It's all for her.
The other party deliberately poked Emperor Jingli's reverse scale.
You must know that Emperor Jingli was very ruthless. In the group struggle between the ruling and the opposition, he could not hesitate to attack the Queen Mother's family, and the relationship with the Queen Mother broke down for three years.
Then Emperor Jingli treated her...
She didn't expect Emperor Jingli to say "It should be spread by someone with a heart", and she never thought that the empress dowager, who has always been alienated and cold, would say "then find someone with a heart".
They believed in her and her parents.
Her nose is sore.
In her previous life, her parents passed away very early, followed by her grandparents.
She grew up alone in the wind and rain.
No matter what happened, she had to face it herself.
She is used to solving it on her own.
If you can't solve it, use Ah Q's spiritual method.
People, you have to convince yourself that life is wonderful and can be expected.
to live better.
She never thought that Emperor Jingli would protect her at a critical moment, nor that the Queen Mother would call her to the Jubilee Palace as soon as she heard the news and give her a reassurance.
It was as if she was walking alone in a snowy night, shivering.
Unknown direction.
Suddenly someone appeared with a lamp, hugged her, and told her "you're home".
Warm until she cried.
Tears could not help but rolled in his eyes.
"Xi Zhaorong, don't worry too much." The queen mother said again.
"Yes." Liao Qingqing responded.
Then he raised his head, tears falling from his watery eyes.
The Queen Mother was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli was slightly startled, and immediately got up and walked towards Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing stood up while wiping away her tears.
Emperor Jingli had already walked up to him.
This was the first time Liao Qingqing cried.
It was the first time I cried in front of people and bowed my head in embarrassment.
Emperor Jingli held her hand and asked, "Why are you crying?"
Liao Qingqing was speechless.
Emperor Jingli said, "I didn't blame you."
The queen mother interjected: "Aijia didn't blame you either."
"Emperor, Empress Dowager, you are so kind to your concubine, concubine..." Liao Qingqing's tears had already stopped.
I heard Emperor Jingli and the Empress Dowager say this.
I don't know which nerve was poked into her, and her tears were like beads with a broken thread.
Unable to stop, it fell down.
Even Emperor Jingli's hands were wet.
As if it hit the apex of Emperor Jingli's heart, he felt a burst of pain, stretched out his arms around the back of Liao Qingqing's head, pressed her into his arms, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Look at your greatness, What a big deal."
After he finished speaking, his heart was full of excitement.
Liao Qingqing did not expect that Emperor Jingli would hug her like this, although she was very moved and warm, she even wanted to cry, crying out her longing for so many years of grievance, so many years of loneliness.
But this makes no sense.
She hurriedly stopped crying, took out her handkerchief, and quickly wiped away her tears. In her panic, she did not forget to wipe the tears from Emperor Jingli's hand, and then pleaded guilty to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, concubine is rude, please guilty."
The queen mother's voice softened and said: "Ai's family is not ill, and often commits guilt to others. Okay, it's noon, let's have lunch together."
"Yes." Liao Qingqing said.
"Mother Chang." The queen mother turned her head and said, "Take the emperor and Xi Zhaorong to wash up, Aijia can't see dirty children."
"Yes." Mother Chang smiled and looked at Emperor Jingli and Liao Qingqing.
Emperor Jingli and Liao Qingqing were a little embarrassed.
Especially Liao Qingqing.
She didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful. If she traveled through a different dynasty, she would probably get a zhanghong and then die on the spot, right
so far so good.
Fortunately, the Great Wei Dynasty was not so scary.
She followed Mother Chang to wash her face, changed into new clothes, and then accompanied Emperor Jingli and the Queen Mother for lunch.
After lunch, the queen mother needs to chant scriptures and take a nap.
Emperor Liao Qingqing said his goodbyes voluntarily.
On the way back to Lisheng Pavilion, Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing's hand and asked softly, "Why are you crying?"
Liao Qingqing replied, "I'm moved."
"What moved you?" Emperor Jingli asked curiously.
"The queen mother and the emperor are so good to concubines."
"That's it? Are you crying like this?"
"Um."
"Get out!"
"The concubine is just useless."
Emperor Jingli smiled.
Liao Qingqing walked with her head down.
Emperor Jingli said, "You really know how to cry."
"Where are you crying?"
"When you cry, the queen mother likes you more."
"why?"
"As soon as something happened to your father, the queen mother called him to the palace, just for your own good."
"The concubine knows."
"She is afraid that I, like the late emperor, would sacrifice the concubines of the harem at will for the sake of the courtroom's non-existent things." Emperor Jingli said, "Especially you."
"Why a concubine?"
"The queen mother likes you."
"Why does the queen mother like concubines?"
"you guess."
"..." At this time, Emperor Jingli would still be in the mood to say "guess." Liao Qingqing responded cooperatively, "Because the concubine is smart?"
"no."
"Because concubines are extremely smart." Liao Qingqing said confidently.
"??? Have you misunderstood intelligence?" Emperor Jingli asked ruthlessly.
"Then what else?"
"Because you're stupid." Emperor Jingli said with a smile.
"… "
"The queen mother likes stupid people."
"???"
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli in disbelief.
Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing's hand and walked towards Lisheng Pavilion with a pursed mouth and a smile.
A palace maid who was peeping not far away hurriedly ran to Linhua Palace.
As soon as she saw Liang Guifei, she told everything she had seen and heard.
Concubine Liang Gui asked in astonishment, "The Queen Mother didn't punish Xi Zhaorong?"
"Back to the noble concubine, no."
"What else?" Liang Guifei couldn't believe her ears.
"Also, Xi Zhaorong ate at the Queen Mother's place."
"anything else?"
"Then Xi Zhaorong and the emperor held hands, talking and laughing back to Lisheng Pavilion."
"Nonsense!" Concubine Liang suddenly raised her voice.
The palace maid knelt down on the ground with a frightened "Plop", and said shiveringly: "Concubine, maid, I dare not talk nonsense, this is what the maid saw with her own eyes. Lisheng Pavilion."
