An Niaoyi is a typical Jiangnan water town girl. Her figure and voice are very delicate and beautiful. At this moment, she has no makeup on her face. Her small face is plain, and her eyes are red like a little white rabbit.
It makes people feel pity when they see it.
But she cried so sadly, which made people feel even more sorry for her.
Feng Wanwan, who had just finished her milk and was dozing off in her wet nurse's arms, couldn't help but feel her heart aching when she heard the crying. She tilted her head to look at her.
[Huh? What happened? Why did An Xiaoniao hug my mother and cry as soon as she walked in? She cried so sadly and painfully. If you didn't know, you would think her father had died.]
[Hmm? It seems her father is in trouble? Wait, it's corruption and bribery?]
[Hey, why did this happen earlier? ]
[The original book does have such a plot. An Xiaoniao originally had no intention of vying for favor. Later, although Zhen Qia used her as a tool and introduced her to my father, she was not sincere in her pursuit of favor, and my father did not dote on her much either. However, things soon took a turn for the better.]
The turning point was when An Xiaoniao's father was suddenly implicated in a corruption case. An Xiaoniao panicked and first sought help from Zhen Cha, but Zhen Cha refused out of fear of getting into trouble. So, desperate, she sought help from anyone and joined the Queen's army.
[Later, the Queen persuaded my father, and An Xiaoniao's father was fine. An Xiaoniao then became a powerful weapon in the Queen's hands, helping her do many things and becoming another vicious villain in the original book. It can be said that his fate is quite sad.]
[How come this happened so early?]
Concubine Hua's face was full of embarrassment. She opened her mouth several times but closed it again. Finally, she couldn't bear An Niaoyi's pleading and spoke.
"Sister An, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you learned the rules before entering the palace. You should know that the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. It's really not easy for me to interfere in these court affairs."
"Sister Noble Concubine, please save my father for the sake of Niaoyi's loyalty to you."
An Niaoyi's tears rolled down from her swollen eyes again, and she cried out.
"If there really wasn't a solution, An Niaoyi wouldn't dare to embarrass the Imperial Concubine Sister."
"Hey, kid, get up first and listen to me."
Concubine Hua sighed heavily again, then grabbed An Niaoyi's hand and tried to pull her up.
"As you know, I have always been in the harem. I can help you with matters in the harem, but I never ask about the affairs of the former dynasty.
What's more, even if I want to help you, I am powerless.
Your father is a civil servant, and he is also affiliated with the Ministry of Revenue. My father, brothers, and nephews are all in the military, so I really can't get involved."
"Sister Imperial Concubine, please, please..."
An Niaoyi held Concubine Hua's hand tightly, her voice hoarse and dry from crying for too long.
"The old man has served in the court for many years and must have quite a few connections. Moreover, General Nian just won a victory and is in the limelight. All officials must be vying to curry favor with him. All officials in the court must be willing to give him this face.
My father is just a small county magistrate, and I know him. He has always been timid and would not dare to do such things as corruption and bribery. He must have been implicated. The thing he did was not a big deal.
If you, my sister, are willing to help me, I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life, even if it means going through fire and water! "
"How can you say such things as being treated like a slave? We are human beings, and we don't lack slaves or horses. Why do you have to say such things? Hurry up and get up first. Then we can talk properly."
Concubine Hua sighed and looked to the side. Suzhi and Huameng hurried over to support An Niaoyi.
An Niaoyi's crying was indeed pitiful, and her father's experience was indeed sad. After all, the county magistrate was not very high-ranking, and he had only been a county magistrate for two years, but he was implicated in such a case of corruption and bribery, and was directly sent to jail. The An family's life was indeed not easy.
But she really can't help now.
Sometimes it is not a question of the size of the matter, but a question of timing. The emperor has recently been investigating officials who are corrupt and accepting bribes in order to make a warning and deal with those who really need to be dealt with, such as Wu Ya.
Therefore, at this critical moment, you cannot make suggestions casually.
What's more, even if her father and brother are both important officials in the court and are favorites of the emperor, and even if An Niaoyi is indeed obedient and well-behaved to her, it is not worth it to let her father and brother take risks for such a person.
After weighing the pros and cons, Concubine Hua could only comfort An Niaoyi and advise her to be more open-minded and wait for the outcome of the matter.
Otherwise, she wasn't going to help.
However, Suzhi and Huameng tried their best to pull An Niaoyi, but failed.
An Niaoyi knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, but she refused to get up, her eyes full of pleading.
"Sister Noble Concubine, you must have a way to save my father. Sister Noble Concubine, I beg you, please help me this time."
"Hey kid, didn't I tell you to get up first? The ground is so cold. You're already weak, and it would be bad if you get hurt."
"Sister Noble Concubine, I am not afraid of getting hurt. If you don't agree to my request, I will kneel here and not get up."
An Niaoyi raised her tearful eyes and pleaded sadly.
Concubine Hua's expression froze, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
This is not a plea, it is clearly a threat.
If she didn't agree to help An Niaoyi, this woman would just kneel there and never get up. Wouldn't that mean she was relying on her?
Force her to agree to help.
It's okay to ask someone to do something, but not in this way. An Niaoyi's behavior is clearly forcing her to agree.
If that happens, she will be unhappy.
At this moment, Feng Wanwan's little breasts began to make sounds.
[Eh? Why did An Xiaoniao do this to my mother?]
[My mother is a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy who is always willing to help others.]
[Also, although the matter of An Xiaoniao's father sounds scary, in reality, her father was implicated and has no problems or responsibilities. All we need to do is give the presiding judge some time to investigate.]
[This isn't a big deal. It's just a word from my mother. Given her personality, seeing An Xiaoniao crying so pitifully, she'll definitely be willing to help.]
But An Xiaoniao is kneeling like this and still refusing to get up. This is almost like intimidation or coercion, which is not right.
[If she does this, my mother will actually get annoyed and might not want to help her anymore.]
Feng Wanwan said it unintentionally, but Concubine Hua took it seriously and couldn't help but feel moved.
Is An Niaoyi's father innocent? His problem is not difficult to solve. All he needs to do is say a few more words in front of the emperor?
It seems that this favor is not difficult to help.
