Chapter 280
Qinghe thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be difficult for us to beg her? After all, although it is said that Cailing visited Concubine Yun when she was thrown into the cold palace, Cailing helped Concubine Shang Gui to harm her. We go to beg her, because of our affection, she will plead for Cai Ling, but will she feel comfortable? Moreover, she no longer wants to see her father, this is a dilemma for her."

Changchun thinks about it too, Concubine Yun is soft-hearted and owes them a favor, if she asks her, even if she doesn't want to see her father, she has to force herself to do so.

"Then what should we do?" Changchun was at a loss.

Qinghe gritted his teeth, "I'll go to see my father and tell me that Concubine Yun has something to entrust to him."

"Will it work?" Changchun hesitated.

"This is the only way. As you said, I'm afraid he won't see anyone except Concubine Yun."

"Okay, hurry up and go." Changchun said.

Qinghe changed his clothes and hurried over with Xiaoqian.

Xiao Zuo heard that Qing He was going to intercede, he was not sure how happy he was, but he was also very nervous, fearing that the emperor would not forgive Cai Ling.

Xiao Liu's worry was not unreasonable, because in the emperor's heart, it was nothing to lose one more servant.

Qinghe was also unsure, but this is the only way now.

When Qinghe came to the imperial study room, he saw Eunuch Xi standing at the door. Seeing Qinghe approaching, he quickly waved his hands, "Princess, the emperor is in a rage, and no one is here. You should go back."

Qinghe walked up and whispered something in his ear, Eunuch Xi was startled, "Really?"

"Concubine Yun entrusted this to Ben Gong in a dream last night, let Ben Gong tell Father Emperor." Qing He said.

Xi Gonggong said: "Well, the princess will wait a moment, and the servant will go in and report."

"Okay, I have Mr. Lao." Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can meet the emperor smoothly, there is hope.

Eunuch Xi tiptoed in, and the emperor was in the east chamber of the royal study. He was lying on the couch, and when he heard footsteps, his eyes suddenly became angry, "I have said that, without my will, you are not allowed to come in!"

Eunuch Xi quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Princess Yili is here. She said that she dreamed of Concubine Yun last night, and Concubine Yun asked her to come and have a word with the Emperor."

The emperor sneered, "Really? I'm afraid he is using Concubine Yun's guise to intercede for Cai Ling?"

How could he not know what Yili was planning?That Cailing is a person who can do things, and she will be of great use.

Eunuch Xi was slightly taken aback, "This...that's what the princess said."

"Get out, if Concubine Yun has something to say, she will naturally come and tell me, you go out and tell her that no one is allowed to intercede, but anyone involved in the case must die." The emperor said angrily.

"Yes, yes!" Eunuch Xi backed out in a panic.

Qing He waited until Eunuch Xi came out, and asked, "How is it? Is your father willing to see me?"

Xi Gonggong shook his head with a pale face, "Princess, please go back, the emperor said that you don't have to plead for Cai Ling."

Qinghe was taken aback, how could the father know the reason for her visit?
After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Has anyone been here?"

"No, no one has been here except Aunt Luqian." Xi Gong said fairly.

Qinghe let out a groan, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, and also very puzzled why the emperor knew that she had come to intercede?
She asked Eunuch Xi, "When Aunt Luqian comes, will anyone accompany her?"

"Oh, yes, the imperial concubine accompanied her here."

Qinghe was startled, "Why did she follow?"

"By the way, I wanted to discuss Princess Xinglan's marriage, but the emperor didn't say anything about it. He just listened to Aunt Luqian's report and let them go."

"When they were talking, were you by the side?" Qinghe asked hastily.

Xi Gonggong said: "Yes, the old slave is listening."

"What did they say? No, it's mainly what Concubine Qi said?"

Eunuch Xi thought for a while, "Actually, the imperial concubine didn't say anything, it was always Aunt Lu Qian who said it."

"Didn't you say a word?" Qinghe asked unwillingly.

"This old slave remembered that when the emperor made the decree, the imperial concubine pleaded for Cai Ling."

"Pleading?" Qinghe frowned, "How did you ask?"

Mr. Xi said fairly: "The emperor ordered all the people to be beheaded. The imperial concubine told the emperor that although Cailing helped the Qi family to harm Concubine Yun and caused Concubine Yun to die tragically in the cold palace, after all, she is now serving the princess. You are also a capable person by your side who can handle things, so I beg the emperor to spare her."

Qinghe's heart turned cold, how could she be begging for mercy?It was clearly intended to arouse the emperor's hatred towards Cai Ling, first telling him about Concubine Yun's tragic death in the cold palace, and then pleading for her, this stab was so ruthless that even she would not be spared.

As we all know, Cailing used to be the maid in charge of Concubine Shang's palace, but Cailing must have been sent there if something happened. It is the most hateful accomplice, even the emperor would think so, so, Qi Guifei ignited the emperor's anger.

The hatred in Qinghe's heart was also ignited.

Cai Ling has indeed done many wrong things, but most of them are involuntary. According to the file, although the crimes she confessed cannot be forgiven, it is still possible to avoid death.

Unhappily returning to Su He Palace, Xiao Zhun was crying, which annoyed Qing He so much that he asked her to retreat.

She couldn't think of any good ideas in the palace, but just when she heard the report from outside the palace that the fifth prince was coming, she straightened her clothes and went out.

"Have you left yet?" Qinghe pulled himself together and greeted him.

"I just finished talking with my aunt, and after hearing Changchun's talk about Cailing, I wanted to come over and ask you, is there anything I can help you with?" Chu Jinyu looked at her, she didn't look energetic at all.

"You can't help much, the decree has been made, and it will be executed tomorrow." Qinghe said.

Chu Jinyu frowned, "Changchun told me."

"I promised to save her life, but unexpectedly, the emperor didn't even read the file." Qinghe said angrily.

"Are you sure that Aunt Luqian has included Concubine Yun's mention of Cailing's sending charcoal in the snow?"

"I've written it. Changchun had to look at these files and then submit them to the imperial study." Qinghe said.

"In this case, the emperor must read those files."

"That's right, as long as he reads it, he will definitely remember Cailing's kindness to Concubine Yun. After all, this is the only thing he can do for Concubine Yun now."

"Okay, what we have to do now is to find a way to let the emperor read those files." Chu Jinyu said

"However, is there any way to let him see it? Xi Gonggong said that he didn't even touch it, so he ordered someone to put it aside, and he won't touch it when he thinks about it."

Chu Jinyu thought for a while, "Actually, I believe Concubine Yun would be happy to help Cailing with this."

Qinghe sighed, "I know, but Concubine Yun may not be willing to see the emperor again. Now the ghost doctor is looking for a suitable body for her. I don't want any trouble to happen at this time, causing her temperament to change drastically, and she misses this opportunity."
