109 Only self-help
After hearing his words, Du Qianyi suddenly realized.
Du Qianyi said repeatedly, "Grandpa, you're really right. I didn't expect so much, but Hongyu is loyal to Murong Qingru. How can she deal with Murong Qingru? I don't think it's easy for her to deal with Murong Qinglu.
"How can this not be easy? As you said, now Hongyan is locked up, and the emperor refuses to let her go. If she knows that Murong Qinglu refuses to help, how can she not complain about Murong Qinglu?"
After hearing this, Du Qianyi couldn't help nodding repeatedly and said repeatedly, "Grandpa, you're so right. I remembered another thing. Last time the red silk came out of smallpox, Murong Qinglu went to beg the emperor, and finally did not make the emperor agree. It can be seen that Hongxuan may have some dissatisfaction with Murong Qinglu in his heart. If this If Murong Qinglu can't save Hongqi again, he must be very resentful of her.
"You have finally learned to be smart." He said to Du Qianyi with a smile.
"Grandpa, it is said that Jiang is old and spicy. You are really a powerful person. With your mention, I really know what to do. Otherwise, I can't think of so many. In this way, as long as Hongqi is willing to take action, he must be able to deal with Murong Qinglu."
After hearing her say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course, as long as she is willing to take action, she will definitely deal with Murong Qinglu."
"So, if I go to save her, what should I do if the emperor is dissatisfied?"
Du Guolao turned his face and looked at her seriously, and said to her, "Xiyi, I have taught you so much. Can't you learn it at all? I believe you can deal with such a simple situation, right?
After hearing Du Guolao's words, Du Qianyi thought for a while before nodding. She smiled and said, "Grandpa, you're right. Don't worry. I won't let you raise my granddaughter for nothing. I will definitely make some achievements to show you, not only to keep my queen's position, but also to let those Those who hinder my progress get what they deserve.
"Grandpa was very happy to hear you say that. This is my good granddaughter." He said to Du Qianyi with a smile.
After the two talked for a while, Mr. Du left first. After Mr. Du left, she thought about it for a while and slowly came up with an idea.
And all day, Murong Qinglu was waiting there. She was waiting for the emperor's order to release her maid, but until the evening, the emperor did neither come to her nor let the red silk. She felt very strange. It was very late to ask for the emperor, but the emperor avoided her. No, let her wait outside for a long time. A eunuch came out and looked at her face with a sigh and said to her, "Your Majesty, the emperor said, I won't see you today. Madam, you'd better leave first."
"Why didn't the emperor see me?" She said angrily.
"The emperor said that if he didn't see you, he didn't see you. Madam, don't embarrass me. If you really want to find the emperor, why don't you come back tomorrow? The emperor is in a bad mood today, and maybe he will be in a good mood tomorrow." The eunuch quickly said to Murong Qinglu.
Murong Qinglu nodded, thinking that there was no point in embarrassing the little eunuch here, so she nodded and turned away and said, "Thank you." After saying that, he went back to his palace.
At this moment, the queen went to see the empress dowager. At that time, the empress dowager was reading scriptures there. Suddenly, when she heard that the queen was coming, she asked someone to bring the queen in. She still liked the queen very much and thought that she was a moderate person.
After she came, she smiled and said to the queen, "Queen, what's the matter with you coming to see my family?"
"To inform the Empress Dowager, in fact, I came to see you today. Does the Empress Do you know that the emperor and the noble concubine are quarreling again?"
"What's going on? The child Qinglu is really getting more and more ignorant. Why does he always quarrel with the emperor?" The Empress Dowager said with a sigh.
The queen quickly supported her and said to her with a smile, "Actually, I came to see the empress dowager today, but I'm not here to complain. I just want to discuss something with the empress dowager, hoping that the empress dowager can listen to me."
"Oh? Come and listen to it."
She sighed and continued to say to the Empress Dowager: "Actually, the reason why the emperor and the noble concubine quarreled was nothing more than that the girl was red. The last time she had smallpox and was locked up. The emperor did not promise the noble concubine to save her, and this time, she was convicted and imprisoned in the patriarch's mansion. Yesterday The noble concubine went to plead with the emperor in person. The emperor originally promised her to release the red silk, but when the emperor knew that the red silk was locked up because she had killed the empress dowager's maid, Linglan. For the sake of the empress dowager, she did not let her go. The noble concubine was naturally very sad when she knew it. After saying this, she took a breath of relief and continued to say sincerely, "The reason why the noble concubine did this is not that the noble concubine is disrespectful to the empress dowager, but because she is a temperamental person. She is a long-hearted person in her heart, so she is so good to a maid of honor. In short, the two of them are all because of this. This matter."
When the Empress Dowager heard the queen's words, she said to her with a smile, "Xianyi, your child's heart has always been thin, and the mourning family also knows that you come to say these words to the mourning family, as if there is something in your words. What's the matter? You might as well talk about it. You don't have to beat around the bush."
"Yes." She hurriedly said, "Actually, I came to see the empress dowager in the hope that the empress dowager can be gracious. Even if Linglan is the Empress Dowager's favor, she is just a maid. No matter how vicious the Hongyu is, she is always just a maid of honor. If the dispute between the maids of honor is involved in the noble concubine and the emperor. Well, then it's not good. Therefore, please forgive me for saying that it's better for the empress dowager's grace. Let's forgive Hongyu this time. It's not for the red silk, but for the emperor and the noble concubine. I don't know if the empress dowager will agree or not.
After saying that, she knelt down for the empress dowager. After listening, the empress dowager did not say anything for a while. The death of Linglan did make her very angry and sad, but no matter how carefully you imagine, what the queen said is also very reasonable. No matter how much, Linglan is, she is just an ordinary maid of honor. It's not a big deal to die a maid of honor. On the contrary, it is not good to make a gap between the emperor and the noble concubine. Anyway, the noble concubine also helped the emperor ascend the throne at the beginning, and she was also loyal to the emperor. What's more, she is also the princess of the Mingjing Kingdom. Now Yunhuang and Mingjing are also good water that do not violate the river, and there is no need to offend Mingjing Kingdom. .
After thinking so much carefully, the Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Queen, what you said is not right. Well, in the case, then I will listen to you once. I will not blame the family for this matter, and give the girl Hongqi another chance."
"Empress dowager, you are indeed a Bodhisattva and compassionate. I thank you on behalf of the emperor and the noble concubine."
With that, she was about to kneel down for the empress dowager. The empress dowager quickly supported her and said with a smile, "You child, you don't have to be so polite. It's really difficult for you. You always miss others in your heart, never compete for favor, and you can think so much for others. If you do so much, you are really suitable to be the emperor of the mother of the world. After."
"I dare not." Du Qianyi quickly said modestly.
"Then you can tell the noble concubine about the release of the red silk, that is, the emperor's meaning, understand?"
"I see." She said quickly.
"Well, my family also feels a little sleepy. You can go down first." The Empress Dowager waved her hand.
"Yes." Du Qianyi quickly agreed and left the Empress Dowager.
After leaving, she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth. Now, she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would really listen to her. Sure enough, what Du Guolao taught her did not do wrong. After she went back, she didn't go anywhere, but came to the patriarch's mansion. The stewards of the patriarch's mansion saw that the empress came, even When she was busy, she came to say good regards to her. The queen nodded and said coldly, "Open the door for the mourning family and go in."
They hesitated for a moment and said, "But this is the person the empress dowager asked to pass."
"I also came from the edict of the Empress Dowager." The queen said coldly.
After hearing this, those people hurriedly opened the door and led her in. After entering, they saw the red silk inside. At this moment, the red silk was also very pitiful and had been beaten all over. She looked very haggard. She heard Murong Qinglu say to save herself, but there was no news today. She When she was almost desperate, she didn't expect the queen to come. After seeing the queen, she looked at the queen in surprise. She didn't know what had happened. Did the empress dowager say that she was going to put herself to death and work to the queen?
When she was at a loss, the queen had already looked at her. The queen smiled and said, "You don't have to panic so much. I came here today to get you out."
"Are you here to save me?" She said to the queen in surprise, "Queen, why did you come to save me in person? I really don't understand."
Hongyan was originally hostile to the queen. She always thought that her reason made her mother not become the queen. Hearing that she was so unreasonable, she was full of scars, and the queen didn't care.
The queen smiled and said to her, "Why are your body full of scars? Are they rude to you?"
Hongyu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"It's so pitiful. Take out the medicine and give her medicine." She quickly divided the instructions.
So the maid beside her said repeatedly, "Yes."
After saying that, she hurriedly drugged her and put the medicine on it. The queen looked at her and sighed, "I'm relieved to see that you're fine."
Yun Wan quickly said to her, "Do you know that you can be released this time?"
"What, can I be released?" Is it the noble concubine who pleads with the queen?
"Of course not." Yun Wan sneered and said, "Your noble concubine said that she wanted to save you, but there was no way at all. She knew how to say a few words to the emperor. How could the emperor put it in his heart? The emperor needed others to coax and respect him, but she spoke to the emperor. That attitude aroused the emperor's murderous intention. You almost couldn't survive tomorrow. She said coldly to Hongyan.
After listening to it, Hongyan didn't know whether it was true or not, but she subconsciously said, "Your mother won't do this to me."
"Do you not understand yourself? If your mother treats you well, she will save you last time. How could she not save you and watch you locked up and almost die from smallpox? My mother can't do this kind of thing. This time it's my mother who saved you.
Hongyan was surprised and surprised. She didn't know why the queen wanted to save herself.
Yun Wan continued: "Don't believe it. Our queen went to the empress dowager's face and dried her lips and said a lot of good words. The empress dowager finally promised to let you go, and the noble concubine didn't know about this matter."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Why should I lie to you? If I lie to you, won't I be exposed at any time?" Yun Wan said with a sneer.
Hongyan felt more and more strange. Why did the good queen save herself?
She was very puzzled. She looked at the queen and said to the queen, "Your mother, is there anything you want me to do? If so, just say it. I will promise you. If you save me, I will definitely repay you. I am a person with clear grudges."
"I have nothing for you to do. I just think you are pitiful." She smiled and looked at the red silk carefully, and then said slowly, "In terms of appearance, you are also a very beautiful woman. In terms of temperament, I heard that your temperament is also excellent. With your qualifications, how can you be reduced to a little maid of honor, don't you think?"
After listening to her words, Hongqi was a little puzzled. She looked at the queen and said slowly, "Queen, what does this mean?"
"What can I do? I just sigh casually. Do you still expect someone in the world to save you all the time? Even if I saved you this time, then I won't have the ability to save you next time. I can only save you once at best. After saying this, she said with a smile, "In fact, in this world, you are the only one who can save yourself. Whether you want to save yourself or not depends on your own ability."
After saying that, she said to Yunwan, "Yunwan, let's go."
Yun Wan said to the queen, "Queen, please go first. I'll help my red sister out. I think she is seriously injured."
"It's hard to be careful for you."
After saying that, the queen turned around and walked out. Yun Wan slowly walked out with Hongyan behind her. Along the way, she talked to Hongyan.
She said, "Do you understand what the Empress said to you just now?" Yun Wan looked at her with a smile and asked.
"I didn't understand." She shook her head and replied truthfully.
"Actually, the Empress said it very simply. The Empress wants to tell you that only you can save yourself in this world."
"But how can I save myself?" She hesitated for a moment and said.
"It's very simple. If you are a concubine this time, what if you kill a maid of honor? Is there anyone else who can embarrass you? Don't forget that people like us are the most despicable people. If people like me are like this in their lives, after all, I have no talent and no beauty, but Sister Hongxuan, you are different. You have talent and beauty. Do you just want to be a little maid all your life? She deliberately said something.
After hearing her words, Hongyu's heart moved.
Yun Wan looked at her carefully and seemed to have expected what she was thinking in her heart, so she continued to say to her slowly, "You have seen that the current emperor is not a faint king, and he is young and talented. Which girl in our whole Yunhuang Kingdom doesn't like him? Who doesn't want to be a concubine? You Since you have such ability, why don't you cherish this opportunity? It's very sad that you rely on your hopes on others and want others to save you.
After hearing her words, Hongyan's heart was inexplicably moved. If it was normal, she would not think about this, but this time it was indeed a little unusual. Two times in a row, Murong Qinglu tried to save her but failed. She almost lost her life and was beaten. She was covered with injuries. When she thought of this, she felt particularly sad. Only you can save herself in this world. What the queen said to her echoed in her ear. She thought deeply.
