Chapter 720 The Grand Finale (11)
Ling Mengqi turned his head in response. After entering the main hall of Fengyi Hall, his attention was first placed on the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor could not count on him, he turned all his attention to Empress Dowager Luo. Although the empress dowager's dealings are long, they are actually only a short period of half a stick of incense, so he did not intend to, but really did not notice the existence of Concubine Luo.

Hearing Concubine Luo's voice now, he realized that she was also in the palace, with a plain face, blue-gray lips, red and swollen eyes, disheveled hair, and an indescribable indescribable feeling all over her body. Desolation and despair, like a walking corpse, although still beautiful, but no will to survive, made him inexplicably think of those dying people he had seen.

Ling Mengqi originally thought that after so many things, he could now calmly treat Concubine Luo as a stranger, or as the emperor's concubine, himself as a subject and she as the emperor.

But the fact is, seeing Concubine Luo like this, he found that he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he could no longer be cold-hearted to her. After all, he is not really hard-hearted... Before his brain gave instructions, He heard his own mouth opened first: "Yes, I am here, you are not dreaming."

The surprise in Concubine Luo's eyes instantly magnified, and the whole person finally became a little angry because of this, she cried and laughed and said: "It's really you, it's really you, you're fine, you're still alive, it's so wonderful Alright... I originally thought that I would never see you again in my lifetime, but I never thought that God would show mercy and allow me to see you again before I die, even if I die, I can finally rest in peace!"

Hearing this, Ling Mengqi was a little embarrassed and indescribably emotional, and after a while he said dryly: "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you." I wanted to say a few more words like Because of comforting words such as "people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn", thinking of the awkward relationship between each other, and thinking of Murong Heng's cruelty to him when he was alive, he still held back and didn't say it.

Concubine Luo didn't want to but hurriedly said: "I don't want you to save me, don't worry about me, take your daughter-in-law with you before it's too late, and go as far as you can, it's best to go outside the territory of Dazhou, Find a place to start over, and never come back again! By the way, how did you get in? Whose order did you come in? I don’t care how you got in or who ordered you to come in, you should leave quickly. This imperial palace, and even this capital city, has always been a city of sin, even if it is joy, it is based on countless pains and sacrifices... Please listen to me just once, leave quickly, and never come back!"

The words made Ling Mengqi more and more silent. After a long while, he asked, "Since you know this is a city of sin, why have you never thought of leaving before?" In fact, what he really wanted to ask was, knowing that this city of sin is glamorous After the blood and crimes under the surface, has she ever regretted her resoluteness at the beginning?
Concubine Luo smiled miserably, "Who told me it was too late? However, even if I knew early in the morning, I would not leave. There is someone I love here, and a place with him is my home. How unbearable it is, that's my home... Apart from you, the only thing I care about now is your sister, Bao Yi. If possible, I hope you can take care of her to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. When I beg you one last time, okay?"

Is it her home where there are people she loves and the emperor?
If it was the past, Ling Mengqi would have scoffed at Concubine Luo's words like this, but the matter has come to this point, it doesn't matter whether he hates it or not, and just like Lu Mingxuan once said, when it comes to being a mother, she is Failed, but as a woman, it is understandable for her to pursue her own happiness.

The Empress Dowager Luo heard the conversation between the mother and the child, and only then did she realize why Ling Mengqi looked familiar to her inexplicably. It turned out that the person in front of her was the child born to Lu Shi and the man in front of her. ——If it wasn't for this child, maybe today's catastrophe would not have happened!
Anger and remorse instantly filled Queen Mother Luo's entire chest. No, it shouldn't be said that the root cause of today's catastrophe is on this child, but on Lu Shi. How could his son spoil his concubine and kill his wife if he wanted to seduce his own son, then Da Zhou must be in a different situation today.

But after all, who can be blamed, if my son was not dazzled by Lu Shi, if I insisted not to let her enter his son's door as Luo Shi's daughter... It's a pity, the most impossible thing in this world Yes, that is if!

However, now that the lives of her mother and child are tied to that child's body by accident, Empress Dowager Luo felt mixed feelings for a moment, and she didn't know what it was like at all.

Ling Mengqi met Concubine Luo's tearful eyes full of sorrow and pleading, and was about to say more, when there were three very slight bird calls from outside the hall, which was the secret signal he had agreed with his own people, which meant that someone was coming .

He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to salute Empress Dowager Luo again, and then said to Concubine Luo in a low voice: "As far as I can, I will take care of Princess Baoyi, and you... take care too!" Turned around and left quickly.

The rest of the Empress Dowager Luo and Concubine Luo waited for a while with their own concerns, and sure enough, they saw Concubine Gu come in, but both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hated the latter, seeing her coming in, they closed their eyes without even looking at her. Close your eyes and take care of yourself.

When Gu Guifei saw this, she was not angry, she just stepped forward to take a look at the emperor's situation, and then looked around vigilantly, seeing that there was nothing unusual, she went out again, not knowing that sometimes people's fate will change , really only need a moment of time is enough.

At the fifth watch, Ling Mengqi and his party successfully avoided the Jinwu guards who were ordered to "protect" Concubine Xiao Ding outside Duanwang's mansion, and returned to Duanwang's mansion.

Duan Wang had been waiting in the study room, when he saw Ling Mengqi coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "How is everything going well?"

Ling Mengqi took out the letter from Empress Dowager Luo from his bosom and presented it to King Duan with both hands: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, but it was not the emperor's own letter, but the empress dowager's." The process of writing the letter written by the Empress Dowager Luo has been roughly explained.

While listening to him, King Duan opened Empress Dowager Luo's letter, and saw that there were only a few short sentences written on it: "The Queen's mother and son and An Guogong conspired to kill Sheng Gong, and they used the emperor to order the world. The officer came to rescue him!"

Below is Empress Dowager Luo's golden seal, although it is not as effective as the Great Zhou's jade seal, nor as effective as the emperor's private seal, it is enough for the current King Duan.

Duan Wangyin patted Ling Mengqi's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, this king would have been helpless so far!"
