Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them returned to Fangfei Hall.
There was silence all around, and Ziyuan joked: "My dear, when you chose to live here, did you already expect that one day we would go to the prison at night?"
Bai Qi smiled slightly and said: "Ziyuan, I have such advanced skills, I can pinch and calculate. At that time, I just wanted to choose a quiet place, and I didn't expect that we would have such a day to explore the sky prison at night."
Ziyuan poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Qiqian: "My Lady, it's getting late, you'd better rest early."
Bai Qiqian shook her head, a trace of sadness covering her brows: "I'm wondering whether Su Wanliang had planned this matter in advance, or whether it was her impromptu decision."
Ziyuan asked in reply: "So what if it was planned in advance, and what if it was improvised?"
Bai Qiqian analyzed and said: "If she has premeditated it, it proves that she is very familiar with Yun Ran, and even knows some of her past things so clearly. She is very familiar with Yun Ran, so Yun Ran is naturally familiar with her."
Maybe, the face hidden under her face is the one Yunran recognizes."
A person vaguely appeared in her heart.
She continued: "The entire Wei family was beheaded. In fact, this matter was largely related to Yun Ran. If it is really that person, she has enough reasons to hate Yun Ran."
Ziyuan asked: "Empress, who are you talking about?"
Bai Qiqian squinted her eyes, and a frightening light emitted from her eyes: "I'm talking about Qiu Jin, Wei Qiujin."
Ziyuan was shocked: "My dear, isn't Mrs. Qiu Jin dead?"
Bai Qiqian sneered: "No, Ziyuan, she is not dead. Back then, she put on a good show in the prison and hid it from almost everyone. Even I was almost hid by her, if not
Dad reminded me that I might not have imagined that she could actually direct a scene calmly under such circumstances."
Qiu Jin was also good at hiding herself in Prince Yuan's Mansion.
Moreover, she also possesses an impressive poison technique.
If Su Wanliang is really her, then she is quite difficult to deal with.
Zi Yuan comforted and said: "My Lady, are you thinking too much? Maybe Su Wanliang will not be her at all. Think about it, Qiu Jin hates Concubine Yun and the Emperor so much. If she wants to take action,
She could have taken action half a year ago, there is no need to wait until now."
Bai Qiqian took a sip of hot tea, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Maybe I really think too much."
Ziyuan went to bring hot water and helped Bai Qiqian wash herself.
The next day, Bai Qiqian was sitting leisurely in the yard.
Huanwan was lying on the beauty's couch, flipping through an anthology in her hand, a little absent-mindedly. She looked at Bai Qiqian several times, but was hesitant to speak.
Bai Qiqian stroked her head: "Huanhua, do you have something to ask your aunt?"
Huanwan nodded, with a hint of worry in her shining eyes: "Auntie, will Concubine Yun never come to see Huanhan again?"
Bai Qiqian was startled: "Huanhan, why do you think so?"
Huanwen said with some sadness: "I asked the nanny this morning, and she told me that Concubine Yun made the emperor angry and was thrown into a prison by the emperor. She will never come back again. Just like my father, I want to go
A very far away place, I will never come back to see Huan Huan again."
It's a far away place and I will never come back.
It is a very sad thing to say such words from a child's mouth.
Bai Qiqian held Huanwan in her arms, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Silly boy, Concubine Yun will be fine. Soon, she will come out of the prison with many gifts.
Look at Huan Huan.”
Huanwan bit her lips and said in a weak voice: "Auntie, Huanhua will be very strong."
The nanny once told her that no matter what happens, she must live well. As long as she lives, there will be hope one day.
Perhaps she learned to be strong when her mother-in-law passed away.
When her father also left, she learned to assess the situation and grow up quietly.
Today's sunshine is still bright, but it lacks a bit of warmth. It can't warm the cold heart. Bai Qiqian closed her eyes, and her beautiful figure was mottled under the sunlight.
Huanwan stared at her shadow in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
The sun was shining brightly, but her face was extremely sad.
For the whole morning, everyone was silent and waiting, and it seemed that no one could bear to break the silence and peace.
The sun at noon was very bright and somewhat dazzling.
Bai Qiqian moved her somewhat stiff body and murmured softly: "Ziyuan, it's noon. There is still no news. Go to the palace to inquire and see what happened."
Ziyuan nodded and walked out of Fangfei Hall.
Lunch was as rich as usual, but Bai Qiqian had no appetite at all.
Huanwan's appetite was not strong, but she served Bai Qiqian like a grown-up and said seriously: "Auntie, even if you don't want to eat, my little sister still has to eat. If auntie is so hungry, she will
Sister, Huanwan will ignore my aunt from now on."
This silly girl actually learned how to use kindness and power at the same time.
Bai Qiqian finally had a smile on his gloomy face, and he ate with Huan Huan.
She stroked her flat belly. She had a child and could no longer be willful. Even if she didn't think about herself, she had to think about her child.
Before lunch was finished, Ziyuan ran over with a solemn expression, and even her steps were a little frivolous.
An ominous premonition arose in Bai Qiqian's heart. She tried her best to calm down: "Ziyuan, what happened?"
Zi Yuan's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, Cuiping, the maid who served Imperial Concubine Yun yesterday, hanged herself this morning. Not only has Imperial Concubine Yun's suspicion not been cleared, but one more suspicion has been raised."
Ziyuan looked at Bai Qiqian worriedly, and said cruelly: "The emperor believes that Cuiping committed suicide out of fear of crime."
There is no proof, even if Yunran tells the truth, it will not change any facts.
Huanwan said dejectedly: "Auntie, Concubine Yun, you still have to leave us, you still have to leave Huanhan." Although Huanwan didn't understand, she knew that something big was going on when she saw the looks on Bai Qiqian and Ziyuan's faces.
not good.
Now we must find a way to save Yunran immediately.
Bai Qiqian stood up in a hurry, determined to rescue Yunran even if she had to go through fire and water.
He walked up to Hanhan, looked at her hurt eyes, and said softly: "Huanhan, my aunt will do her best to rescue Concubine Yun, and you must believe in your aunt. Don't be sad anymore, don't be sad anymore, after the darkness has passed.
, is the light.”
Huanyuan nodded vigorously: "Auntie, no matter what auntie says, Huanyuan will believe in auntie."
Believing in her, just like faith, has taken root in Huanhua's heart.
Trust, believe without reservation, perhaps only a pure child can achieve it. Perhaps Huanwan does not understand what a big deal it means for the concubine to come out. How much price must be paid to rescue Concubine Yun. But as long as
Bai Qiqian said she could rescue Concubine Yun, and she believed it.
Huanwan was very sensible and went back to the side hall to read a book.
Bai Qiqian said to Zi Yuan in a deep voice: "Zi Yuan, the only person who can save them now is Hong Fu."
Zi Yuan hurriedly ran out: "I'll find Hong Fu right now."
When Hong Fu knelt down and begged her to save Cui Yanlin, he once said that he was willing to exchange one life for another.
Now, Hong Fu is the only one who can save Cui Yanlin and Yun Fei.
Simply let Hong Fu come to the rescue and blame everything on Su Wanliang.
Bai Qiqian sat down and knocked on the table repeatedly, her face frighteningly calm. Her beautiful face was covered with frost, and her body exuded a strong murderous intent.
If pressed, even dogs will jump over the wall, let alone humans?
Ziyuan came soon and still brought bad news: "Empress, I just went to see Hou Hongfu, and the gatekeeper Gong E said that Hongfu wanted to poison the child in Empress Su's belly this morning, but she ordered it.
, beaten to death with sticks, and now even the bodies are thrown out."
I was shocked and couldn't help but raise my voice: "Hongfu is dead?"
There are only these few words left in my mind: "Hong Fu is dead." Does this mean that Yun Ran cannot be saved?
Su Wanliang, you can actually block all roads. It seems that I really underestimate your scheming.
Bai Qiqian took a deep breath: "Ziyuan, let's go take a look and see if we can find any clues from Hong Fu."
After saying that, Ziyuan took Bai Qiqian to the Charity Hall.
In the harem, maidservants and slaves were often executed, and the Charity Hall was the place where these people were kept.
Their final destination was a mat and some clothes they wore in daily life. The money they saved in daily life was either given away to their families or saved. It was okay to give it to their families.
Well, most of what was saved was divided among the rest of the people after that person died.
When Bai Qiqian arrived at the Charity Hall, several eunuchs were sorting Hong Fu's clothes.
One of the eunuchs yelled: "Isn't she the eldest maid next to Concubine Su? Why did she die in such a shabby state without even a decent piece of jewelry? It's really unlucky."
Another eunuch said: "Look, she still has her eyes open, and she is not closing her eyes to death. Alas, she is also pitiful, so you should be more respectful."
The man didn't seem to take it seriously and said indifferently: "Poor man, haha, who in this palace is not pitiful?"
Ziyuan coughed a few times and interrupted them: "Our queen has come to see Hongfu, you should step back first."
Several people bowed to Bai Qiqian, and one of them carefully apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this Hong Fu is dead. Your Majesty, it's better not to be implicated in any bad luck."
Ziyuan put her hands on her hips, like a shrew: "Our queen is here, there are no taboos. Don't worry, we are just taking a look and leaving."
The young eunuchs retreated.
Bai Qiqian looked at Hong Fu, sighed and said: "Hong Fu, you did a lot of things for Concubine Su, but in the end you ended up like this. I promised you that I will try my best to save Cui Yanlin, so you can go with peace of mind.
"
After saying that, she touched her eyes and wanted her to close them.
The fingertips seemed to be scratched by something. Bai Qiqian looked carefully at the corner of Hong Fu's eyes and found a tiny pinprick there.
here it is……
Bai Qiqian was shocked and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Ziyuan didn't notice her expression. She packed up Hong Fu's clothes and said, "Madam, let's be good people for once and send someone to notify the Cui family's daughter-in-law to take Hong Fu back. It's better to be buried in the ancestral grave."
