Returning to the Imperial Capital, she was no longer in the same mood as before. At this time, she felt very confused and anxious.
The carriage passed the city gate, and Shi Qing headed directly towards Prince Duan's Mansion.
From afar, I saw a group of soldiers arresting people outside Prince Duan's Mansion, and the people above and below Prince Duan were all chained up, and one by one, they were slowly moving forward under the iron whips of the soldiers.
He covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from crying.
The door plaque of Prince Duan's Mansion was also forcibly removed, two seals were affixed, and the vermilion door was slammed shut.
Everything was gone, ending the prosperity of the Duan Palace in the past and ending the joy and laughter of past memories.
"Sister, please don't cry."
Ming Qingyue stood next to Shi Qing, wiping her tears with his sleeve.
At this time, Shiqing hugged Ming Qingyue as if she had been drained dry, fell into his arms and sobbed softly.
She seemed to think it was all her fault.
If he hadn't left the palace, if Ming Qingyue hadn't come out to find him, he wouldn't have allowed the false emperor in the palace to succeed.
Now my father will not be punished, and no one is willing to speak.
How much she wanted to go back to the past, when brother Qingran was still there. She would rather be the canary in Xuanyuan Palace and one of the concubines of Ming Qingyue.
However, there is no regret medicine that can be taken in the world.

"Sister, where are you taking Mingming?"
After leaving Prince Duan's Mansion, Shi Qing drove the carriage and took Ming Qingyue towards Qianshui Village. Now she could only feel at ease by handing Ming Qingyue to them.
When we found the place where Mr. Liu and his wife lived, they were still as hospitable as before, as if the outside world had nothing to do with this Qianshui Village.
When they saw Ming Qingyue and Shi Qing, they both smiled from ear to ear.
But when she walked into the house, Shiqing suddenly kowtowed, knelt down and refused to get up.
"Mother, what are you doing? You're killing us two."
The couple hurriedly helped Shi Qing up, but Shi Qing just had tears on her face and told her elders everything she had experienced these days, and asked her elders to take good care of Ming Qingyue.
The two elders burst into tears and nodded.
"If it weren't for your Majesty and the Emperor, our Qianshui Village would not be what it is today. My Majesty, please feel free to go and be careful along the way."
Shi Qing nodded, and then walked slowly to Ming Qingyue.
At this time, he was playing with Mr. Liu's grandchildren in the yard, smiling very happily.
It’s good to be happy like this, Ming Qingyue, it’s good that you can be happy like this forever. No matter whether I can come back this time or not, I am your wife in this life, and I am content.
Shi Qing secretly thought in her heart, holding back her tears, and immediately squeezed out a faint smile on her face.
"Ming Ming, Madam is going to buy some things with Granny Liu. Can you play with the children here? Xiao Ding, Xiao Dou, are you willing to play with your brother?"
"willing."
The two children nodded and pulled Ming Qingyue away with smiles.
But Ming Qingyue looked back three times, smiled brightly, and waved his big hand towards Shi Qing.
"Sister, Madam, 88, come back early."
"Yeah, okay."
Shi Qing smiled, tears already welling up in her eyes. She resisted the reluctance in her heart, glanced at the two elders, and then followed Mrs. Liu out.
The old woman walked all the way to the entrance of the village, and then said goodbye to Shi Qing.
"Don't worry, our second oldest child died early, and her daughter-in-law couldn't get over it, so she also died together. We will take good care of the emperor, and we will be closer to him than our own son."
Seeing the old woman talking with runny nose and tears, Shiqing bowed heavily again. Then she turned around and left without looking back.
Then it seemed that I could still hear the laughter of Ming Qingyue playing happily with his children.
Shiqing bit her sleeve and swallowed back her tears. [Sixth update]
