Qing Yun had just arrived outside the front hall door with Lin'er and Mo Xuan in her arms. Zike came to greet her before she even entered the door, saying that Princess Yongle brought Qiu He back to the palace half an hour ago. She seemed to be in a bad mood, and Qiu He He also seemed hesitant to speak. Zike knew that something was wrong. After some investigation, he learned that Princess Yongle had been in contact with Mrs. Lin before leaving, but she did not find out what the two said.
Qing Yun frowned after hearing this. It seemed that Mrs. Lin must have chewed the back of her tongue in front of Zhi Lan, so Zhi Lan suddenly returned to the palace alone without waiting for her.
Instructing Zike and others to continue greeting the guests, and dissuading Mo Xuan who wanted to accompany him, Qingyun rushed back to the palace with Lin'er and Lan Jue Lüpo.
"Princess, in front of you are the two father-in-laws, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lizi. They seem to be leaving the palace."
On the way back to the palace, Qingyun kept a solemn expression and had a bad premonition in her heart. Suddenly she heard Lan Jue's voice coming from outside the carriage. She stretched out her hand to open the curtain and saw Uncle Leng's trusted eunuch Xiao Linzi and Xiao Linzi. Lizi drove the carriage towards the palace gate and ordered Lan Jue to stop.
"You are not on duty in the palace. What can you do if you leave the palace at this time?"
Sharp-eyed Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lizi saw Qingyun's exclusive carriage approaching the palace gate from a distance. They hurriedly reined in the horses, jumped off the carriage, trotted to the small window of the carriage, knelt down and said respectfully: "Slave See the Ninth Princess, Ninth Princess Jin An! Manager Leng ordered two servants to come and welcome the Ninth Princess to the Mingde Hall. Princess Yongle is also here at this moment."
"Let's go." Qingyun waved to Xiao Linzi to get on the carriage. Lan Jue immediately whipped his horse and drove towards Mingde Hall, while Xiao Lizi followed behind them in their carriage.
Inside the Mingde Hall.
Looking at Zhi Lan kneeling in front of him with a determined look on his face, Emperor Huiwen was filled with pity and helplessness.
Back then, she was as determined to marry Lin Tao as she is now, and even risked her own life to ask him to make it happen. As a result, she became a widow at a young age, and now...why is this child so ill-fated?
"Slave, please see the Ninth Princess, Ninth Princess Jin An!" Qiu He, who was left outside the palace gate by Zhi Lan, saw Qing Yun arriving and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Princess Ninth!" Qiu He stood up and said anxiously: "Princess Ninth, Princess..."
"I already know." Qingyun nodded, told Lan Jue and Lu Po to stay at the door, and walked into the main hall with Lin'er in her arms.
Emperor Huiwen, who was behind the case, saw his beloved daughter walking in with her grandson in her arms. His sorrow disappeared, he stood up and greeted his beloved daughter and said kindly: "Jiu'er is back." Then he pursed his lips towards Zhilan, who was kneeling with his head bowed, and then He winked at his beloved daughter.
Let Jiuer handle this matter. I really have no choice.
I don’t know whether it’s because of his poor popularity, or because he doesn’t have the majesty of a husband and a father. None of the concubines, concubines, and children in the harem are afraid of him. But I don’t know since when, my beloved daughter has made him fall with just a look or a word. The concubines, concubines, and children of the harem are all respectful and respectful, and no one dares to disobey them. Of course, the imperial concubine is an exception.
Nodding slightly to reassure Emperor Huiwen, Qingyun held the sleeping Lin'er with one hand and held Emperor Huiwen's arm with the other before returning to the imperial desk and sitting down. Then he turned to look at Zhi Lan: "Zhi Lan, can you tell me, Why did you suddenly make this decision?"
Xiaolizi had already informed her that Zhilan's request to see her father this time was to ask him to let her go to the nunnery to chant sutras and worship Buddha in order to save Lin Tao's soul.
As soon as she heard this, she knew that this was definitely not Zhi Lan's intention, but was instigated or even forced by Mrs. Lin.
There were still three months until Zhi Lan turned fifteen, which was the age when she was about to blossom. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin actually forced Zhi Lan to spend the rest of her long life in a place like a nunnery. She was really a poisonous woman.
"Princess Hui Jiu" heard the anger, pity, and disapproval in Qingyun's tone. Zhilan was moved and sad in her heart: "As the wife of the consort, I should have gone to the nunnery to pray for him when he passed away." The emperor and the ninth princess showed sympathy for the wife's frail health and took her back to the palace for recuperation. The wife was deeply moved. Now that the wife is fine, she should fulfill her responsibilities and obligations as a wife. I also ask the emperor and the ninth princess to do so. !”
She is the daughter of the enemy who murdered Sister Yun's mother, but Sister Yun has always loved her and protected her. On the other hand, among her so-called relatives, except for using her, no one has really cared about her. Naturally, she has to do her best. He can protect Sister Yun and repay Sister Yun's love for her.
It's just that she has been married to the Lin Mansion for so long and has never been able to find something like that, and Sister Yun has made excuses to keep her in the palace to protect her. If she can't go back to the Lin Mansion to continue looking for something like that, then everything she has done before is useless. significance.
Qingyun couldn't believe it and was very sad when she heard that Zhi Lan actually called herself 'the courtier's wife'.
"It's understandable that you want to save the soul of the deceased prince, but the conditions in places like the nunnery are extremely poor. I really don't trust you to go there. Let's do this. I'll have a palace cleaned and then invite the masters of Cining nunnery to come in and chant sutras. , this way you can save your consort and ensure your safety, it’s the best of both worlds.”
"Don't..." Zhi Lan blurted out.
Qingyun raised his eyebrows: "What don't you want?"
Seeing the regret and doubt in Qingyun's deep eyes, Zhilan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "What I mean, the imperial palace is a sacred place, and the consort is just a commoner. You can't do anything for him in the palace, otherwise the emperor will do anything for him." The historians will definitely write a letter of impeachment, and the emperor and the nine princesses are busy with everything, and the courtiers and wives are waiting in the harem to chant sutras and worship Buddha, which will definitely disturb the emperor and the nine princesses in handling government affairs and resting, and the courtiers and wives will feel deeply frightened and uneasy."
"Zhilan..."
"I thank the Emperor and the Ninth Princess for their love, but I cannot let the Emperor and the Ninth Princess break the ancestral rules because of me. If I die, I will never be able to redeem myself!" Zhi Lan kowtowed heavily.
"What Lan'er said is not unreasonable." Emperor Huiwen suddenly said: "Jiu'er, just follow Lan'er's wishes."
Qingyun was shocked. Her father loved Zhi Lan as much as she did. How could he bear the heart for Zhi Lan to go to that kind of place and suffer?
So she looked sideways at Emperor Huiwen, and saw the pitiful and helpless look he was looking at Zhi Lan. Qingyun couldn't help but have a thought in her heart. After swallowing her words to dissuade Zhi Lan, she turned to look at Zhi Lan: "Since you are determined to do this, I will also I won’t advise you anymore, but you can only go to Cining Temple, if not, the matter will be over."
Cining Temple is a royal temple. Ordinary people do not dare to act recklessly in Cining Temple. There is also the highly respected Master Jingxin who takes care of Zhi Lan. She then sends people to secretly protect Zhi Lan. Even if Mrs. Lin tries her best, she cannot hurt Zhi Lan in the slightest. In this way, she can rest assured even if she is not in the capital.
I understand that this is Sister Yun’s biggest concession, and I also understand that Sister Yun wants to protect her. After all, Cining Temple is not an ordinary nunnery, and there are troops stationed a few miles away. Once someone dares to cause trouble in Cining Temple, it will not take half a quarter of an hour. The army would arrive quickly. Zhi Lan was moved to tears: Only Sister Yun could arrange everything for her carefully and meticulously.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor and the Ninth Princess for their kindness!"
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest first. I will take you to Cining Temple tomorrow morning." She had to entrust Zhi Lan to Master Jingxin in person before she could rest assured.
Zhilan's expression was startled: "Sister Yun..."
"This is my order, Zhi Lan must not object!" Qingyun frowned, showing off his dignity without getting angry.
It was the first time that Sister Yun treated her with such dignity and solemnity. Zhilan trembled all over, then lowered her head and said in awe: "I obey the order! I resign!" After saying that, she kowtowed and left.
"Zhi Lan, no matter what happens, remember that you will always be my good sister!" Qing Yun's voice suddenly came from behind, just like the gentle night wind outside the palace at this time, every word entered Zhi Lan's heart, pity. And helpless...
With just these words, Zhi Lan's departure suddenly stopped, her expression moved with sadness, and tears rolled in her eyes. She couldn't help but want to turn around and go back, throw herself into Sister Yun's arms and cry bitterly, but it was precisely because of Yun Her sister's love and care for her made her more determined to find such a thing, so she bit her lip, covered up all her tears, and left the Mingde Palace.
"Lan'er must have her reasons for doing this. Jiu'er, don't be sad anymore." Looking at Zhi Lan's leaving figure, Emperor Huiwen sighed slightly.
"My son knows, but..."
In fact, Qingyun felt very uncomfortable. She once thought that Zhilan married into the Lin family to save those relatives, but now it seems that things are far from as simple as she thought.
This time Zhi Lan insisted on going to the nunnery. Of course she was instigated and forced by Mrs. Lin, but for some reason, she always felt that it was Zhi Lan who wanted to leave the palace. The reason was unknown.
"Zhi Lan is still young, how can she be buried in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of her long life? How unfair is this to Zhi Lan?" Qing Yun's deep voice was full of anger and pity.
Zhi Lan has a pure, kind and lovely nature, and should have lived a carefree life. If it were not for people like the imperial concubine, how could Zhi Lan have endured these unbearable pains?
After hearing this, Emperor Huiwen sighed again. It was only God who played tricks on people. Lan'er had a mother like a noble concubine, but she just took pity on the innocent Lan'er.
"When does Jiu'er plan to leave for Zhou?"
"It'll take a few days." Qingyun put away her heavy thoughts, turned to look at Emperor Huiwen and said with a smile, "I have to arrange some things properly before I can leave with peace of mind. Why, my father can't bear to leave my son?"
Emperor Huiwen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Of course I can't let go of Jiu'er. Thinking about not being able to see Jiu'er for a year, I regret it." After saying that, he beat his chest and feet seriously, with a look of regret on his face, which attracted Qingyun. Leng Yi couldn't stop laughing, but Leng Yi rolled his eyes.
"My son, I can't bear to leave my father and Uncle Leng." Seeing the two of them opening their mouths to say something at the same time, Qingyun said sternly: "Father, you must never go back on your words! Don't worry, I will write to your father and Uncle Leng often. Peaceful."
“Keep your word!”
"Um."
Zhi Lan was walking back to Yuhua Palace with Qiu He when a tall figure suddenly appeared blocking their way.
