Yanlouchun

Chapter 22

"Your Majesty knows that I will be diligent and conscientious, be cautious, and live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager." Shen Zhiyun replied politely.

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Don't be nervous, the Aijia asked you to come to the Ningshou Palace today just to tell you about the establishment of the academy. Aijia is just a harem woman. What you said is wrong, Shen Qing must forgive me."

"The empress dowager is modest, please give me some advice." Shen Zhiyun said.

"To build an academy, the school field is the most important thing, but the students are the foundation. If you only pay attention to the collection of the school field, ignoring where the income and expenditure of the school field go, then the use of the school field, you humerus ministers, is useless. "The Empress Dowager spoke without anger or prestige, with a bit of oppression.

Shen Zhiyun clasped his hands, "What the empress dowager said is that the collection of school fields is an important link, and the distribution of school fields is the most important thing."

"You just need to understand this principle. If anyone among them has selfish intentions and wants to get a fortune from the students' food, you, as the imperial envoy of the Auxiliary Department of Education and Political Affairs, must be upright and punish you severely according to the law. Some people hide their selfishness, but no one finds out after taking a sum of money, this is his punishment, someone must take it for him, Shen Qing, don’t you think so?”

What the Empress Dowager meant was that if someone wants to make a fortune from this matter, or prevent the academy from being built because of his own interests, Shen Zhiyun can do it boldly, regardless of which family's in-laws or offshoots those people are. It is the backing and confidence given by Ningshou Palace.

But if Shen Zhiyun didn't catch the troublemaker and the matter wasn't done well, just finding a scapegoat would not be able to deal with the Queen Mother, and Shen Zhiyun would have to bear the punishment that should be borne by himself. This is the coercion exerted by Ningshou Palace.

"What the empress dowager said is also like the heart of a minister. The heart of a minister is like a rock, and he must uphold it impartially." Shen Zhiyun replied.

The Empress Dowager nodded, took out a kit from her bosom, and there were valuable things in it, and called the old woman beside her, "Send the things to Mr. Shen."

The old mother took it with both hands and handed it to Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Zhiyun got up and took it, with some weight, feeling the shape of the object in the kit, knowing it clearly, and put it into his arms.

Solemnly bowed to the Queen Mother, "I know the importance of this matter, and the entrustment of the Queen Mother must be engraved in my heart, and I dare not forget it."

"Good boy, you are still young, if you do this well, you will have a bright future in Japan's political career." The Empress Dowager showed a benevolent smile.

What is not stated is that if this matter fails, there will be no hope for Japan's political career in the future.

"Not for politics, but for the sky and the people, and have no shame for oneself." Shen Zhiyun raised his hand.

The queen mother smiled, "Good boy, his heart is sincere."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compliment." Shen Zhiyun replied.

The Empress Dowager felt that Shen Zhiyun was very pleasing to the eye, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was a useful talent, but it was uncertain whether she looked reliable, it really depended on what she was doing.

At this time, an internal official came in from the door, leaned over and reported something in the Queen Mother's ear.

Seeing Empress Dowager Shu Yan, "The Ai family knows, let her in."

Then he waved his hand, "Good boy, I've finished what the Ai family has to say, you can go down."

Shen Zhiyun withdrew, "I will take my leave."

Shen Zhiyun went out, Song Qiong went in.

Even after seven or eight days, there are still scars on the face, extending from the forehead to the corner of the eyes, dragging out a long scar.Walking very slowly, it can be seen that the injuries on his body are still serious and not fully healed.

Her eyes are very light, not brown eyes, but gray eyes. Time has not spared this poor eldest princess, leaving many marks on her face. Her eyes are indifferent, her thin lips are mean, It makes people feel thin and indifferent.

Song Qiong glanced at Shen Zhiyun who was wearing an official uniform and hat, her indifferent eyes did not fluctuate, but a few words fell silently in her heart.

Boys and girls.

Shen Zhiyun didn't give the Huichao eldest princess a look, and walked straight out of Ningshou Palace, and the gate of the palace closed behind him.

There were palace walls in front of her eyes, and the inner officer led her out of the harem and through palace gates.

She looked at the sky surrounded by the high wall, it was still clear, and sighed, "The weather these days is really nice!"

With a thin voice and squinted eyes, the internal officer agreed, "That's right, the weather is fine and the masters are in a better mood."

Shen Zhiyun smiled and didn't answer.

What the Empress Dowager gave her just now was a royal token, and with this token, all officials could be commanded.

This will be the most useful thing when she goes south to investigate.

She stepped out of the palace gate and looked back at the palace gates that passed through the palace gate.

In such a good season, it is time to add some new colors to the palace.

The palace walls are surrounded by flowers and butterflies, and the colors are bright when they open and close.

"Qiong'er, there is no need to be polite, come and sit here." The Queen Mother beckoned Song Qiong to come forward.

"Mother...cough, cough cough." Song Qiong covered her mouth and coughed lightly, her face was still pale.

In fact, she can only get out of bed for two days.

The queen mother was a little bit reproachful, but also a little sour, "You were seriously injured when you returned to the palace, and you were caught in the rain. You passed out on the bed for a day and a night, and when you woke up, you were covered in wounds and couldn't move. You just went to the ground. How did you have to walk so long? You're so tired. Own."

Song Qiong gave a wry smile, covered her mouth and coughed lightly, and explained slowly, "It's just that I don't want to be a useless person."

"Take good care of yourself, who dares to chew your tongue!" The queen mother thought that some unscrupulous underground people had said something to Song Qiong's ears, and the words were serious and angry.

Song Qiong held the Empress Dowager's hand and shook her head lightly, "No, Empress Mother, it's my son...cough...it's my son who doesn't want to disappoint you and the emperor."

The empress dowager was even more sour when she heard that. Before her daughter got married, she was still a naive and delicate princess. Now, after many years, she met her daughter again, but she was scarred and cautious, and she was no longer as close as before.

"How come, you don't want to hurt the Queen Mother's heart with this thought."

The queen mother looked distressed, "Are you still suffering these days?"

Song Qiong sat down and replied, "Thanks to the care of the queen mother and the emperor's brother, the medicine sent by the imperial hospital is very good, and it has been much better in the past two days."

The queen mother stroked the scar on Song Qiong's face, and comforted her, "The scar has faded a lot, take good medicine, and it won't leave a mark."

Then he frowned and sighed, "Poor Aijia's daughter, who did it so cruelly, after Aijia finds out, I will definitely give you justice."

He had a ruthless look on his face as he spoke, but quickly disappeared.

"How can we find out clearly? In the dispute between the court and the party, people from any side come to participate in the fight, and the people who hunted down and killed the ministers are not from the same group." Song Qiong smiled bitterly.

He sighed sadly, "In prosperity, a woman is a tool for marriage, and when necessary, her life can be taken away at any time."

When the queen mother heard about it, she also felt sad, "My daughter can't let others do what she wants, this world is... difficult!"

"Let's not talk about these things, the queen mother is as worried as the sons and ministers." Song Qiong shook her head, and coughed a few times after speaking.

Song Qiong frowned and asked, "Who was that lord just now?"

"Cabinet assistant, Shen Zhiyun, is now in charge of investigating the matter of the school field, and Ai's family called him here to teach him a few words." The queen mother said.

Song Qiong looked at the gate of the palace and sighed in a low voice, "You are so young——"

"It's really young, and it's a usable talent." The Queen Mother commented.

"Yeah..." Song Qiong replied in a neutral tone.

She was arrested in the Qing Kingdom and locked up in a closed room, probably a secret room in a secret passage of a residence, where the light of day could not be seen.

The daily diet is fixed, it seems that he just wants to lock her up.

There are still marks on the feet from the ropes when they were tied up. The hemp ropes are rough, and the blood is drawn into them.

After an unknown number of days, the new king of the Qing Kingdom brought her out. The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze blowing on her cheeks was cool. She took a deep breath of seeing the sun again.

"If it wasn't for the widow, you would no longer be in the hands of which side." The new King Qing said looking at the clear sky.

Liang Zhao, this is the name of King Xinqing.

But now he is King Qing, and he may not be able to be in the future.

Before she was locked up, she had heard about the turmoil in the government and the public, but she really didn't expect that with so many sons of the old King Qing, he would finally let the prince who had gone to Dasheng as a hostage to ascend the throne. That was a good trick.

Song Qiong moved her chapped lips, her voice hoarse, "What do you want?"

At this moment, Liang Zhao was only a young boy in front of her. To be manipulated by someone of this age would simply crush all her dignity as the eldest princess of Dasheng.

"I am the eldest princess of Dasheng, and my imperial brother still sits on the throne. No matter which one of you ascends the throne, you should make me a concubine, respect and respect!" Song Qiong almost exhausted her words when she said these words. All the strength.

She was just pretending to show off. After being imprisoned for so many days, she knew that regardless of whether the new king in front of her was a good trick or just luck, crushing her to death would be like crushing an ant.

"According to the rules, I should respect you as concubine mother." Liang Zhao pursed his lips and said with a smile, as if he didn't care, "But I don't really want to be in Qing's harem very much. Old age."

Song Qiong's scalp tingled and his back trembled.

She had a premonition that the old king's fate was not long, so she asked her cronies to secretly contact King Gu, who was far away in Dasheng, and asked him to take advantage of the change of Qing Dynasty's two dynasties to start a war. Princess, at that time, she will be taken back to Dasheng secretly by Gu Dao. She just waits for the opportunity to knock on the palace gate to win the pity and guilt of her mother, queen and brother.

She couldn't directly contact the empress mother and the emperor's brother. Without that feeling of pity and guilt, it would be impossible for the two of them to take her back to the country and break the covenant with Qing.

"You want to go back to Shengguo." Liang Zhao said with certainty.

"Do you think that I can abscond secretly while I am in civil strife and the vassal king is divided?" Liang Zhao burst out laughing after finishing speaking.

Song Qiong couldn't help trembling, her lips were pale, her face was bloodless, and she was terribly frightened.

"No matter how far Sheng Guo stretches his hand, the customs clearance document at the border is not so easy to fool. Especially in the current situation, the more turbulent the situation is, the more cautious the identity document check is." Liang Zhaozheng said.

"What do you want?" Song Qiong asked tremblingly.

Unexpectedly, things have been revealed.

Liang Zhao chuckled lightly, "Don't ask like this, it seems like you want to break the covenant, but princess, you betrayed me first——"

Song Qiong knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down her face, she shook her head and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have evil intentions, new king! Your Majesty! Please spare my life! Spare my life!"

Liang Zhao seemed to be very tolerant, "Don't worry, I'm standing here now, and a sunny road is paving in front of you."

Song Qiong stared at Liang Zhao with wide eyes, unable to believe what she heard next.

"You want to go back to Shengguo, that's fine. If you want Gu Dao to help you, that's fine too. The widow has already prepared the document for you. Gu Dao's people are looking for you outside now. Once you meet them, Then you can return to Sheng Country smoothly and become the most honorable eldest princess of your Sheng Country." Liang Zhao said these words slowly.

There is nothing so good in the world.

Song Qiong immediately understood that there was a price.

"The widow sold you to a man from Shengguo, and you will work for him from now on," Liang Zhao said.

How to ensure that she can faithfully obey that person, naturally needs to hold the handle in her hand.

She is a conjugal princess with no wealth or power, and her so-called status only depends on a contract between the emperors of the two countries.

How can she be manipulated...

Thinking of this, Song Qiong's eyes widened unconsciously, and there was a bit of horror in those light-colored pupils.

The only one who can threaten her is that one.

She grabbed Liang Zhao's clothes, with a ferocious face, and asked eagerly, but couldn't say a complete sentence, "You...you..."

She is a concubine in the Qing Palace. Unlike other concubines, she does not need the favor of the old king to be extremely dignified, because she is the eldest princess of Dasheng, representing the covenant between the two countries.

This identity is both good and bad.

The downside is that it is impossible for her to conceive the old king's child again, and let the blood of the two countries be born in Qing Palace.

But in a foreign country, you are already lonely, and in the deep palace, there is no judgment of time.

In grief, she poured out the bowl of contraceptive decoction.

On the pretext of worshiping the Buddha, a premature baby girl was born in the temple.

She didn't dare to recognize her, and after dealing with those who knew about it, she left the infant child in the temple.

Afterwards, she returned to Qing Palace and no longer participated in any disputes.

Waiting for the child to grow up is her greatest hope.

"The widow should call her imperial sister."

Liang Zhao's smile reflected in Song Qiong's eyes like a ghost.

She slumped on the ground, her eyes were empty, and she murmured to herself, "You can do whatever you say."

Liang Zhao smiled.

During the last meeting with Liang Zhao, Song Qiong asked him, "Who is that man?"

It was the person who asked Liang Zhao to make a deal.

"When you return to the Sheng Country, you don't have to look for him. He will look for you when needed." Liang Zhao said.

"What about my daughter?" Song Qiong asked.

Thinking of the man's appearance, Liang Zhao said with a smile, "Of course the handle must be placed in his own hands."

It meant that when she saw that person, she would know her daughter's whereabouts.

Song Qiong didn't ask any more questions, and turned to leave.

Liang Zhao stopped her again, "Wait."

Song Joon stopped and waited for his order.

"No matter how you look at it, he earns more. If he is too passive, it will be cheaper for him." Liang Zhao seems to be talking to himself.

"Male and female faces."

This is Liang Zhao's description of that person.
