Chapter 55: To Save or Not To Save(2/2)
"Xiaotang, it is useless for you to do this." Qin Zhen advised Ji Xiaotang.
"I know." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "I have done more than this for useless things."
"Okay. Since you want to save me, of course I want to help you. But, after you saved someone, are you planning to let them hide their names and live in vain, or have any other plans?" Qin Zhen agreed to Ji Xiaotang's request, but asked Ji Xiaotang again.
Ji Xiaotang understood what Qin Zhen was asking.
"Prince, you say, if I go and ask the Queen Mother and His Majesty for pardon..." Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen for his opinion.
"Xiaotang, what you mean is..."
"Prince, I think I was targeted by the Queen Mother. These days, I am afraid that the Queen Mother has been paying attention to my every move. The people who went to prison are all from the Yang family, including my Ji family and my good friends."
Empress Dowager Han will definitely pay great attention. What will Ji Xiaotang do?
As for the fact that she was targeted by Empress Dowager Han...
"Then I have to thank the prince, so of course I can't do the part of Prince Su." Ji Xiaotang's smile was cold.
Qin Zhen just laughed twice, not saying anything.
"Evil has been killed, Xiaotang, don't say that you just want to save two people, even if there are more, I have a way." Qin Zhen deliberately ignored Ji Xiaotang's accusations, but happily agreed to help her save the person.
But Ji Xiaotang didn't ask for him anymore.
"The Empress Dowager must be waiting for me." Ji Xiaotang made up his mind, "Instead of the prince helping me with this matter and making the Empress Dowager and His Majesty suspicious, we might as well give this problem to the Empress Dowager."
"Xiaotang. You have to think about it." Qin Zhen advised Ji Xiaotang.
"I've thought about it, prince." Moreover, this matter was not entirely up to her.
Yang Ge Lao fell. Qin Zhen and Qin Lin were the two main heroes. They not only won a lot of fame, but also took this opportunity to gain more power in the court.
In the case of Yang Gelao, Qin Zhen and Qin Lin were the main beneficiaries.
This incident will inevitably attract the attention and fear of Empress Dowager Han.
Ji Xiaotang didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Zhen, nor did she want to leave a difficult tail for what she wanted to do. Moreover, because Qin Zhen and Qin Lin, Empress Dowager Han would not let her go.
Instead of waiting for Empress Dowager Han to come, she might as well take the initiative to find Empress Dowager Han so that she can take the initiative in her hands as much as possible.
Ji Xiaotang discussed with Qin Zhen and was about to write a memorial.
Qi Younian happened to come at this time.
He came to find Ji Xiaotang, and did not hide this in front of Qin Zhen.
The fraud case in the early years of Longqing was settled, and Qi Younian was awarded the title of General of the Cavalry, General. General Ren An, Zhili, Hebei Military Affairs, Han Kerang finally cleared his grievances and served as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.
Both of them received a lot of rewards, and Han Kejang also had a house confiscated from Yang Ge Lao. He was planning to bring his little master into the capital and lived in the capital from then on.
Qi Younian was so proud that he only had one thought.
"Xiaotang, I'm looking for you." Qi Younian stood in front of Ji Xiaotang, his eyes curled into two crescent moons, "I'll take you to see someone."
Qi Younian didn't ask Ji Xiaotang if he had time at all.
"Ayou. How about I come back from the palace?" Ji Xiaotang replied.
"Xiaotang, are you going to enter the palace?" Qi Younian asked, "What's the matter? The Empress Dowager summoned you. It's still Changning..."
When talking about Changning, Qi Younian was a little nervous. He was still scared about the last time Changning broke into Xinhuatang, worried that Changning would be detrimental to Ji Xiaotang again.
Outside, Ji Xiaotang still has some mistakes. But if he enters the deep palace, it will be Changning's territory.
"I'm going to see the Queen Mother..." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian.
Seeing Qi Younian showing puzzled eyes, Ji Xiaotang explained to him again.
"Want to ask for a special pardon for the Empress Dowager?" Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang. He didn't know that Qi Younian had such a deep relationship with Yang and Yang Pianpian.
But Qi Younian knew that he could not stop Ji Xiaotang from entering the palace, although he did not want Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace.
"Go and go back quickly," Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang that he would wait for Ji Xiaotang, "When you come out of the palace, we will go to a place."
"Where?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"I won't tell you for now, you'll know then." Qi Younian smiled.
Qi Younian was actually still mysterious, and Ji Xiaotang also smiled. She was looking forward to the place where Qi Younian wanted to take her to and the people she met.
Qin Zhen stood up from the study room, walked to the window, and looked at the backs of the two people who were gradually moving away.
"Xiaotang... No matter how smart and wise you are, you still can't see your own affairs clearly..." Qin Zhen sighed slightly, but his face and eyes were full of smiles. "But I'm a little sorry for Ayou. But you can't let this kind of thing go."
Ji Xiaotang returned to Yanhua Hall and immediately wrote a memorial to send it to the palace. Soon, Empress Dowager Han's order came out of the palace and summoned Ji Xiaotang into the palace.
Ji Xiaomu came to see Ji Xiaotang in person. He knew that Ji Xiaotang came to the palace to meet Empress Dowager Han for the sake of Yang.
"Xiaotang, no matter what the result is, your sister-in-law and I will always be grateful to you forever in our lives."
Ji Xiaotang smiled and nodded, and the time of poverty appeared.
Ji Xiaomu, after all, is a reasonable person.
After entering the palace, Ji Xiaotang met Empress Dowager Han in Cining Palace.
It was not as formal as the first time we met, Empress Dowager Han met Ji Xiaotang in her bedroom this time.
Empress Dowager Han did not wear big makeup, and her head was still black and thick, and she was wearing only the homely bright yellow dragon and phoenix brocade robe and soft shoes on her feet. She sat comfortably on the lounge chair.
Although he was dressed casually at home, every detail revealed an incomparable exquisiteness, and his face was carefully depicted.
Empress Dowager Han looks younger and inadvertently shows a bit of charm.
She doesn't look like an old woman who has been a widow for many years and only cares about power.
Ji Xiaotang leaned over and bowed, thinking in his heart.
Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang to get up.
Ji Xiaotang slowly got up, and glanced out of the corner of his eyes accidentally, and saw a bright red look on the edge of Queen Mother Han's soft shoes.
That was Queen Mother Han’s socks.
Sitting on the embroidery pedestal beside Empress Dowager Han, Ji Xiaotang said that Empress Dowager Han looked particularly good today.
"Really?" Empress Dowager Han raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of joy, but she seemed to be unbelieving. She even asked the palace maid who served her to take a rake mirror to take a look.
After that, Empress Dowager Han smiled more and more kindly.
"You little girl, your mouth is so sweet that she will make us happy. When you are old, you still have so many troubles every day, so what's the good look." Although she said this, Empress Dowager Han was happy in her heart.
No one can be unhappy if he is praised by a girl who is in his age, who is just like a girl who is not as good as a peach blossom without any makeup.
Moreover, Empress Dowager Han could hear that Ji Xiaotang's words were from the heart.
Whether from rumors or seeing with your own eyes, Ji Xiaotang is a very smart and even very cunning girl. But it is such a girl who speaks very sincerely.
With this, it makes people unable to hate her.
Empress Dowager Han did not ask Ji Xiaotang what he was doing, but mentioned Changning first.
"...I'm a little simpler and treat you as a friend. You are having a fight between friends. If she makes too much trouble, just come to me and I'll make the decision for you."
"The princess didn't hurt me." Ji Xiaotang said.
Empress Dowager Han's eyes stopped on Ji Xiaotang's face, which was quite meaningful.
"In this whole city, I can control her in addition to me, that is, you can live in Changning."
