Chapter 222 Her Wish
"Okay, you can say it!" Empress Dowager Shu readily agreed.
"The first request of the maidservant is..." Lin Ziqin turned her head and looked at Alan, who was waiting beside her. "Please let Alan go back to the raccoon room!"
Alan was shocked. She didn't expect that her first request was to stay for herself. Her heart was so hot that she couldn't help shouting, "Mother..."
"Is it that simple?" Empress Dowager Shu was also a little surprised.
Lin Ziqin nodded, "Yes, Alan was originally a person who washed the room, and it was the maidservant who called her to serve her. In these days, she also suffered a lot with her maidservant. I didn't want her to go to Xizhao State again, which was very bumpy.
When Empress Dowager Shu heard her say this, she was slightly moved again, "It's rare that you have feelings and righteousness. Well, my family will promise you. So what about your second request?
"I have a good sister. Her wish is to leave the palace. Please allow her to leave the palace!"
"What's your sister's name?"
"Her name is Xia Ran, and she is the rough maid of Changqing Palace!"
Empress Dowager Shu was a little surprised, "Is it the palace man of the Lifei Pavilion?"
Queen Su frowned, "Xia Ran? This name is so familiar... Ah, by the way, is she a beautiful girl?"
"Yes, she was one of the beautiful girls sent by the King of Huaiyue and was defeated because of the wind and cold."
"So that's it!" It is very common for a show girl to lose the election and become a rough maid of honor. The Empress Dowager Shu didn't ask too much, so she agreed, "Don't worry, my family will find an opportunity to tell Princess Li to let her let your sister out of the palace!"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Finally doing something for Hyman, Lin Ziqin was in a good mood and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
Empress Dowager Shu sighed, "You child, your family asked you to make demands. You are all asking for others. What about yourself? Do you have any wishes?"
Do you wish? Of course, there is, such as trying to reintegrat the Lin family, such as trying to have a good result with Mo Zhu. Unfortunately, these are not what the Empress Dowager can help her achieve. In these days in the cold palace, she thought a lot and figured out a lot of things. It is not feasible for her to kill the emperor to avenge her father. She can only find an opportunity for the emperor to recensure the Lin family.
It's a pity that she doesn't know what this opportunity is. When she received the imperial edict to go to Xizhao as a proton, she suddenly saw hope. If she comes back from Xizhao as a messenger of peace and is a person who has made contributions to Taici, it will be much easier to mention this matter to the emperor!
So, she went to Xizhao without hesitation.
"Thank you for your kindness. I have no wish!" That's all she can say now.
Empress Dowager Shu stroked her hair with pity, "You are really a rare virtuous lady in our country. Even the mourning family sighs!"
When Empress Su heard this, she felt that she had been slapped hard in the face, and her face suddenly became unnatural. But she couldn't help getting angry. Yes, she used all her means to go to Xizhao, but what can she do? How could she be willing to fall in love with the foxen's trap of Concubine Li and leave here obediently? Once she leaves, won't the queen have a false reputation? If the fox spirit gave birth to the next prince, wouldn't her son's future crown prince be dangerous? She can bear to lose her husband's love, but she can't bear to lose her position and her son's future.
So she knew that if there was such a disturbance, the emperor's heart would only deviate from her, and the Empress Dowager would also have a stereoty on her. She would still do anything to stay and keep her things!
"I have to leave early tomorrow morning. You can rest early!" Empress Dowager Shu sighed for a long time, told Lin Ziqin a few words, and then left with Queen Su.
"Mother..." Alan has been crying and rushed over to hug Lin Ziqin, "Let me go with you. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!"
Lin Ziqin smiled and said, "You are older than me, so I'll call you sister." Sister Alan, it's not that I don't want to be with you, but the feeling of leaving home is very uncomfortable. I have tasted it before, and I don't want you to suffer that.
I wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to arrange a good job for you. However, on second thought, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a hundred days. No matter which temple master, he may be the same as me. He will gain momentum for a while and lose power for a while. In the end, you will only suffer. It's better to wash the room. Although it's a little hard and tiring, there are not so many right and wrong, and my aunt looks cold. In fact, she loves you very much. You won't be wronged when you go back..."
"Mother, your heart and maidservant understand, don't say any more..." Alan hugged her a little and cried harder.
Hyman didn't sleep all night, so he sewed a cotton-padded cloak on the stove fire of the small kitchen. Before Lin Ziqin left, he sent it to Huixi Palace. "I heard that it's very cold in Xizhaoguo. You take this and block it from the wind when it's cold!"
"Xue Ning, take care of yourself!" Huang Yuejiao also got up early, came to see her off, and took off a hairpin from her head. "I don't have anything good. You take this, you should often think of me and Sister Xia!"
"Thank you, two sisters!" Lin Ziqin, who has been very calm these days, finally couldn't help blushing and hugged the two people tightly.
The palace man next to him looked at the hour and whispered, "Mother, it's time to set out!"
"Hmm!" Lin Ziqin let go of her hand, wiped away her tears, and squeezed out a smile at Haiman and Huang Yuejiao, "Two sisters, I'm leaving, you should take care of yourself!"
"Bear care!" Hyman wanted to say a few more words, but thousands of words were choked in his throat and could only say these two words.
The eunuch next to him took a step forward, pulled up his throat and shouted, "The Noble Concubine, get up--"
Two maids of honor immediately came forward and helped Lin Ziqin out of Huixi Palace. A huge and gorgeous carriage had been waiting there for a long time. Lin Ziqin looked back and stepped to get on the car.
"Wait, wait!" Tang Nian shouted one after another and trotted all the way. He saw Lin Ziqin smiling, "It's so close. I thought I couldn't catch up!"
"Brother Tang!" Lin Ziqin didn't expect him to come and was a little surprised. "Are you here to see me off?"
"Yes, in fact, I came here yesterday, but I heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress were here, so I went back. By the way, you take this!" Tang Nian stuffed a small package for her, "It's all medicine, curing wind and cold, curing injuries, and backache, everything. What do I use and how to use it? I wrote it on paper and put it in a bottle. You can study it slowly if you have nothing to do on the way!" After saying that, he blinked meaningfully at Lin Ziqin.
I'm afraid he has made some strange drugs, such as leprosy symptoms. Lin Ziqin was understanding and blessed him. "Thank you, Brother Tang, please take care!"
"Hey, you're welcome. Have a good trip!" Tang Nian couldn't see the feeling of parting on his face and waved to Lin Ziqin with a smile.
"Mother, it's not early, it's time to go. The emperor is still waiting for you to practice at the Chaoyang Gate!" The palace man next to him urged.
Lin Ziqin nodded and glanced at the crowd, but she couldn't see Mo Zhu's figure, and she couldn't help but feel lost. The imperial edict was issued for several days. I believe he should have heard about it, but he didn't come to see her off. But forget it, it will only be more sad to see him.
From the moment she received the imperial edict and decided to redecide the Lin family, she was destined to have no fate with him, so goodbye! Her heart crossed and stepped into the carriage.
"Get up--" Someone shouted, and the wheels rolled. Lin Ziqin sat in the carriage and was surrounded by a group of maids and guards.
Haiman and Huang Yuejiao followed and went all the way to the Inner Gate. They could no longer walk forward before stopping. Watching the carriage disappear behind the door, I couldn't help crying.
I don't know when we will meet again!
