Chapter 52 Powerless
She thought that after Yan Kangming died, Qin Zhen and Yan Qing's life would be very difficult. But she never imagined that their life would be so difficult that they would have to risk their lives to survive.
Thinking of how he had just told Yan Qing to live well in such an understatement, Hong Gong's heart felt blocked and his eyes were filled with soreness.
What kind of life has this girl been living!
Hong Gong couldn't personally understand how Yan Qing felt at this time, but just thinking about Yan Qing's situation at this time made her feel suffocated and angry.
But Yan Qing, who was experiencing all this firsthand, could still sit calmly in front of him at this time, and even had the energy to deal with those who threatened him, without falling into an absolute disadvantage.
Hong Gong asked himself, even if she lived more than twenty years longer than Yan Qing and moved to another place, she would never be able to achieve the level of Yan Qing.
"Then... what are your plans now?"
Hong Gong hesitated to speak. The last sentence came to her lips, but she swallowed it again.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Such a simple sentence seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, hanging on his throat and pressing on his heart, making Hong Gong unable to open his mouth.
She knew very well that there was nothing she could do to help Yan Qing in his current situation.
Even if she acted rashly and something alerted King Su, she would be harming Qin Zhen's life!
Involved in the dispute between the prince and the heir, a person like Yan Qing who is coerced into taking sides will not end well no matter whether he succeeds or fails.
The more Hong Gong thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
Now King Duan is already in charge of the country, while King Su has ordered his officials and family members to be detained while he is under suspension. She even heard that Li Dingshan's troops staying in the suburbs of Beijing have not stopped training since they returned to the capital. This means that King Su has
I can't stand it anymore and want to directly seek power and usurp the throne!
If Qin Zhen's life had not been involved, she would have immediately entered the palace to remind the emperor to be wary of King Su!
But at this time, she did not dare to act rashly.
Yan Qing revealed this matter to her to prepare her mentally, but if she killed Qin Zhen because of this, she would despise herself!
"Girl, you have to think clearly. The Yan family has never been involved in disputes between princes for generations."
Hong Gong stared at Yan Qing and said solemnly, "I understand your difficulties, but as a minister, if you know such a thing but don't report it to heaven, it is disloyal. If loyalty is destined to not have both, you should know
, I may not be righteous."
Hong Gong stared intently, not missing every subtle change on Yan Qing's face.
But unfortunately, Yan Qing seemed to have expected such a reaction from her, so there was no emotional change at all.
She just rolled her eyes slightly and spoke calmly: "The Yan family has only been loyal to the emperor for generations and has no preference for any particular prince. But..."
Yan Qing paused slightly, causing Hong Gong to take a deep breath unconsciously and his heart beat faster.
It was impossible for her to disregard her mother's life, even if Qin Zhen did not want her to make such a choice.
Hong Gong knew this very well.
"Aunt Hong, this is the only thing I can do."
Hong Gong was stunned for a moment, looking intently at Yan Qing who calmly finished the second half of the sentence, and the slight touch on her lips, feeling bitter, helpless, and relieved.
She knew that she would definitely find a way to reveal the news to the emperor, and she deliberately let herself know about it!
Being coerced, she chose to bow her head. As a minister's last loyalty, she chose to put herself in danger and also to remind her old master that someone had evil intentions and that she was no longer reliable.
Hong Gong's pupils were trembling continuously, and Yan Qing's face in front of him became a little blurry.
What kind of state of mind is this?
Hong Gong found that his understanding of Yan Qing was so shallow. She was so similar to her father, yet so different.
If it were Yan Kangming, he would definitely not choose to betray the emperor for Qin Zhen. The greatest sacrifice he could make was to follow Qin Zhen after quelling the rebellion.
At this point, Yan Qing and Yan Kangming are two completely different people.
But the former made her feel even more nervous.
"Girl..."
Hong Gong squeezed Yan Qing's hand tightly, with thousands of words choked in her throat, but she started to speak, but could not say a word.
"Just like what you said, this is my own choice. I don't need others to understand it, and I am solely responsible for it."
Yan Qing held Hong Gong's hand and said relieved but firmly, "One month, can my injury be healed in one month?"
Hong Gong frowned, held Yan Qing's hand tightly, and stared into her eyes.
Is she telling herself that King Su will take at least one month before he plans to rebel?
Hong Gong glanced at the shadow outside the house, collected his emotions, and said seriously: "Yes. Your wound is scabbed and falling off. But you don't know what you are doing, so why did you happen to be involved? What happened?
The scabs tear the skin and flesh, and even the good flesh is torn apart. Although it can grow back in a month, the new skin and flesh are still very fragile, so you cannot use too much force, otherwise you will be easily injured."
Hong Gong said this without closing her voice. She knew that the people standing outside must want to hear something.
So she didn't deliberately lower her voice for the unimportant things before.
At this time, Yan Qing turned up the volume and asked, that is, he wanted to tell people outside.
"You have to be more careful this month and stop bumping into each other. Otherwise, you may not be able to tell whether you will be fine in one month."
Hong Gong complained to Yan Qing and lowered his voice, "I know some of my words are nonsense, but girl, if the worst comes to worst, just run away. You shouldn't live your life like this."
As he said this, Hong Gong's eyes became dazzled again.
The girl in front of me is actually still a child who has not yet reached adulthood, but she has already experienced pain and setbacks that many people may not experience in their lifetime.
She really felt sorry for this girl, not because of her love for her father, but because her life was so miserable.
Hong Gong wanted to hug the poor girl in front of him, but he was concerned about her injuries and was afraid that his actions would put more unnecessary burdens on her heart.
Regarding her previous words, Yan Qing just smiled slightly, with unclear meaning in his eyes, but he could clearly feel a sense of loneliness and vicissitudes of life.
In just one moment, Hong Gong knew that she would not escape, was not prepared to escape, and...had nowhere to escape.
Unable to look at it any longer, Hong Gong stood up suddenly, turned around and went to the inner courtyard from the other side, not daring to ask Yan Qing to see her expression clearly at this time.
She is such a big person, but she is not as calm as an underage child. What's going on?
After Shou Heming cooked the decoction, watched Yan Qing take it, and watched her and Si Zhan leave the backyard of the hospital, Hong Gong's tense spirit relaxed, and everyone else felt weak, and he stood holding on to the door frame.
stable.
He Ming, who was accompanying him, worriedly helped Hong Gong steady: "Master, what happened?"
Just now Hong Gong came in with red eyes, and he wanted to ask, but Hong Gong seemed to be feeling uncomfortable at that time, and waved his hand to signal him not to say anything, so he didn't speak.
At this time, seeing Hong Gong's appearance, he couldn't help but asked.
Hong Gong shook his head: "It's okay."
