20. Chapter 20
"Uncle, the Marquis of Jingning is a meritorious minister, so we cannot abandon him."
In Zhenghe Palace, the Empress Dowager stood in front of the imperial case and persuaded the man opposite to bow his head to review the memorial with a sad expression. Song Jin stood beside her, staring at the emperor's uncle with aggrieved eyes, as if he was unhappy because the emperor's uncle had never agreed to his request.
"The harem cannot interfere in politics, so the empress dowager doesn't need to say much." Song Qin said without raising his head, and his words were as cold as ice.
The empress dowager's face turned pale, and she glanced at the eunuch who was serving her. She pursed her lips and advised again: "Uncle, the descendants of the Marquis of Jingning are not prosperous. If there is any accident in the Marquis of Jingning, there will be only the Marquis and three children left in the family. Please consider the matter of replacing people carefully because of their pitiful women and children. "
This time, Song Qin refused to say a word and ignored it.
"Uncle..." Song Jin begged him. Before he could finish speaking, the empress dowager pressed his shoulder, shook his head, and led Song Jin away.
The mother and son returned to Ci'an Palace.
When Tang Yu saw the empress dowager, he stood up eagerly and rushed out with Tang. Seeing that the empress dowager's face was gray, his heart sank, and he trembled with his chest: "Prince, did the prince not agree?"
The empress dowager's eyes were sad, and slowly swept over Tang Yuniang and lowered her eyes and blamed herself: "It was me who implicated Yu'er's father. Maybe a general who has nothing to do with me, he..."
Tang staggered for a moment, she was just that brother...
Tang Yu was frozen in place, and the empress dowager was in front of him, but her gaze seemed to penetrate the empress dowager, through the numerous palace walls, and saw her father whom she had been thinking about day and night. Her father was imprisoned in the Huns' cell, with a broken arrow inserted on her right shoulder, bleeding profusely, and she looked haggard.
Song Qin was unwilling to replace people because in his heart, a general was not as important as the Crown Prince of the Huns. The empress dowager asked for it, but he did not agree to replace people because the Tang family and the empress dowager were relatives. Now that his father has made great contributions, his prestige among the people has increased, so Song Qin must be on guard against his father, so he is more willing to use the hands of the Huns to get rid of his father?
So, is my father sure he will die?
He was in a state of dismay, and Tang Yu didn't know how he returned to the Hou's Mansion.
"Yuer, don't worry, I'll go back and discuss with your uncle immediately. If the court has not made a decision for a day, we still have hope. You must stay calm, do you understand?" Tang helped his niece sit on the chair, bent down, and said to her pale little face.
Tang Yu nodded in a muffled manner.
Tang felt distressed but had no choice but to leave in a hurry and went to ask her husband to find a solution.
Rong had always been afraid of this sister-in-law. Now that Rong had left, she immediately came over and asked Tang Yu cryingly: "Yu'er, what did the Empress Dowager say? Did she think of a way to save your father? Yu'er, the Empress Dowager has always liked you, you must not give up. If you don't have to ask for it a few more times at a time, it will affect your father's life..."
Leaning on the table and crying.
Tang Yu looked at her, stood up slowly, and wanted to go back to his Mei Pavilion. There was no one in Rong's mother's family. Now he could only count on the eldest daughter who was favored by the empress dowager. She was not willing to let Tang Yu go. She couldn't stop him and led her biological daughter Tang Lin to follow Tang Yu. The mother and daughter cried together. Tang Yu had a headache, almost unbearable headache, as if it would explode the next moment.
She pressed her forehead in pain, stopped, and said without looking back: "I will find a way, you guys go back first."
If crying works, she also wants to cry, but she doesn't even have someone to cry out and ask for help. The empress do her best, and her aunt will help if she doesn't need to ask for her. The whole city of the capital was all the relatives. Even if there were others, as long as Song Qin didn't let go, it would be useless for anyone to ask for it.
Song Qin, Song Qin...
Tang Yu's heart suddenly had a trace of vitality. If she didn't know Song Qin, Song Qin would have always been the ruthless and ruthless Regent she thought was, and Tang Yu was not sure that she would be able to get Song Qin nodded, but Song Qin was not. He was hypocritical and coveted her female sex...
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Tang Yu slowly raised his head and held back the tears that had come. As long as she could save her father, what if she gave it to Song Qin? She could be ruined, she could never get married for the rest of her life, but she could not watch her father die in a foreign land. That was her only close relative in this world, the father whom she puts first in her heart, and no one could compare to, even if that person was Wei Zhao.
Sitting alone in the room all afternoon, it was getting darker, and Tang Yu raised his head and looked firm, "Madam, come in."
Madam Liu and Mo Lan Huilan were guarding the outside. When she heard the summons, Madam Liu ordered two maids to guard the door. She quickly went to the inner room. When she entered the room, she saw Tang Yu being calm and surprised. Madam Liu guessed eight points in her heart, pretended to be confused and advised with great sincerity: "Girl, Madam knows that you must not be able to eat now, but you must eat it, otherwise you will become ill. What should I do with the marquis?"
"I know, nanny, I actually invited you in because I wanted to discuss something with you."
Tang Yu pointed to the embroidered bench beside the bed and asked Madam Liu to sit over. She couldn't avoid Madam Liu, and she couldn't even hide it from it.
Madam Liu sat down in confusion and looked at her blankly.
Tang Yu took a afternoon to make a decision. At this moment, he was very calm and looked at Madam Liu and said, "Madam, I want to go to Prince Duan's Mansion tonight and ask him personally."
Madam Liu stood up in shock, staring at Tang Yu with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes. She was sure that Tang Yu was not hot for a moment. Madam Liu frowned and did not rush to express her opinion. She thought for a while before she sat down again, sighing sadly: "Girl, the Queen Mother's persuasion is useless. How could the prince listen to you? Moreover, in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the girl will... not be able to do this, it will never work."
Tang Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Madam, I know what consequences may be for my trip. You have taken care of me in every detail over the years, and I will not hide it from you. As long as he is willing to save his father, I will be willing to do whatever he does."
"Girl..." Madam Liu pounced on her knees, holding Tang Yu's knees tightly, looking sad, "Girl, you can't be so despised by yourself. If the Marquis knew that he was saved by you like this, how much pain would he feel? And Mr. Cousin..."
Tang Yu raised his chin slightly, but this time he couldn't help it. The two lines of tears slid down silently. She turned her head to wipe it, but her voice was very calm: "Madam, the matter has been done. Please don't tell anyone, your father, aunt, the Queen Mother, don't tell anyone, just let them think that Song Qin was discovering his conscience. I can't marry him again, I will find a reason... In time, he will forget me."
Madam Liu burst into tears and begged her: "Miss, it's a big event that affects your life, you..."
"I have decided, you don't have to persuade her anymore." Tang Yu bent down and helped her up, begging her all over her eyes: "Madam, I beg you, can you agree to me? I just want to save my father now. If something happens to my father, I will be worse than death in my life."
Thinking of the misery of being neither of his parents, Tang Yu could no longer help but jumped into Madam Liu's arms and started crying.
Madam Liu also cried and gently patted the girl on the shoulder. After Tang Yu had enough crying, she gradually calmed down. Madam Liu helped her sit on the bed, thought for a while, stared at Tang Yu's eyes and asked, "Is the girl determined to save the marquis like this?"
Tang Yu nodded without hesitation.
Madam Liu helped her wipe her tears and carefully looked at the beautiful and refined face in front of her, which was beautiful and beautiful. Her brows were tightened, showing a look of wanting to speak but stopping.
Tang Yu thought she still had concerns and said calmly: "Mum's something to say."
Madam Liu looked at her, pity and embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she hesitated for a cup of tea before she lowered her head and said as if she accepted her fate: "Girl, since you have made up your mind, I will not change my mind no matter how I advise you, then I can only help you with all my strength and strive to successfully persuade the prince to respond to this matter tonight."
Tang Yu suddenly became nervous and suppressed his expectations and asked her: "Do you have other good plans?" Maybe she doesn't have to sacrifice herself?
As if she saw her expectations, Madam Liu looked bitter and her eyes dodged, "Girl, you are still young and don't understand men. In my opinion, the prince is cold-blooded and ruthless and close to women. Girl, if the girl wants to succeed, she may have to dress up carefully... The girl has reduced a lot recently, and now she is worried about the Marquis and her face is even worse..."
Tang Yu did not expect that Madam Liu actually advised her to dress up carefully in order to seduce Song Qin to dress up.
She instinctively resisted, but touched her face, Tang Yu laughed at herself, "Mum's thoughtfulness is done, just do what you said."
Madam Liu looked outside and whispered: "The fewer people know about this, the better. Molan Huilan should hide it. I will accompany the girl tonight. When the two of them fall asleep in the evening, go to my side first. I will dress you up. I have the keys to the garden gate. As long as we are careful, we can do it without knowing it."
Tang Yu thought so too, after all, it was related to reputation. If possible, she hoped to minimize the number of people who knew about it.
The master and servant discussed again. At night, Tang Yu would act as planned.
Madam Liu took her back to her room first, and the rouge and water powder were prepared in front of the dressing table. Tang Yu was in a complicated mood. Madam Liu knew that she was sad and simply explained, "Looking at the beauty under the lamp, if the girl didn't have to clean it up, she would be a charming figure without makeup... You don't have to dress up too deliberately tonight, just apply some rouge a little."
Tang Yu stared at herself in the mirror in a daze. Whether she was beautiful or ugly, it seemed that nothing had to do with her.
Madam Liu stopped talking and focused on applying rouge to the little girl and lit the mouth fat. When she touched the fairy-like ice-skinned and jade bones, she was full of roses and full of lips, Madam Liu could not imagine that any man would be able to resist the impulse to take this beauty as her existing one. So what about the Regent? As long as he dripped the rouge and mouth fat and ate the poison specially prepared by the Queen Mother for him, he would only have three good days left. Once three days came, he would die suddenly.
