Hui'an was also shocked after reading it. Now she understood why Qiu Yinong had preserved her memory.
It turned out that he wanted to help her overcome the difficulties.
Hui'an stood up and knelt down in front of Qiu Yinong: "The County Lady has shown great kindness. Hui'an has no way to repay her."
"Get up quickly, my cousin is your sister-in-law, we are family, there is no need to be so polite."
Qiu Yinong quickly helped the man up.
Hui'an felt even more guilty. She had treated the county lady like that before, but she didn't mind at all and even helped her.
"Alright, alright, Hui'an, since cousin Yinong has said so, just remember her kindness."
Hearing his brother say this, Hui'an also smiled happily.
In the future, she and her mother could finally live a comfortable life. Jinglong also expressed that he would give Cihui Palace to Hui'an's mother to live in and provide her with retirement care in the future.
Hui'an knelt down again in haste to express his gratitude, weeping with joy.
"It's a good day, why are you crying?" Jinglong looked at her and smiled. He felt guilty towards his sister. At least she could have a good marriage in the future.
"Cousin-in-law, please invite the Marquis of Jing'an into the palace tomorrow!" Qiu Yinong said to Emperor Jinglong.
Emperor Jinglong nodded. It was getting late, and Qiu Yinong and Chu Hongyun were also preparing to leave and return to the inn.
"Why don't you stay in the palace tonight?" Emperor Jinglong and his wife tried to persuade him to stay.
Chu Hongyun held Qiu Yinong's hand and shook his head slightly, saying, "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go back. Yi'er has two good friends in the inn, and I'm worried about leaving them there."
"Okay, then you can come again tomorrow and bring your two friends with you to stay in the palace." Emperor Jinglong smiled kindly.
Qiu Yinong smiled and nodded in agreement. Emperor Jinglong ordered people to prepare the carriage and wait directly outside Fengqi Palace.
When the car arrived, Chu Hongyun took Qiu Yinong's hand and said goodbye to her sister and brother-in-law and left.
Chu Jinyao and his wife and Hui'an went out to see him off. After the carriage left, Hui'an bowed and said, "Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law, Hui'an is leaving first."
"Okay, keep an eye on the road and keep the lights on." Emperor Jinglong nodded and gave instructions to the palace servant beside him.
Soon two eunuchs came over with lanterns. Hui'an bowed and left Fengqi Palace.
Emperor Jinglong looked at his wife distressedly and held her hand: "Why are your hands so cold? Why didn't you tell me that you were poisoned? What should I do if something happens to you?"
Listening to her husband's chattering, Chu Jinyao felt extremely happy.
"Go back and take a bath quickly. Are you tired and scared today?"
The couple entered the hall. Jin Xin and the others who were guarding the door smiled at each other, and they could still hear Emperor Jinglong's chattering voice in their ears.
…
The noble concubine had already heard about the Queen Mother and the Duke of Chen forcing the emperor to abdicate, and the banquet had long ended, but her daughter Hui'an had not returned yet, and she was very worried.
She was afraid that her daughter might have angered someone at the banquet or been implicated in this incident.
She didn't dare to walk around casually. After all, it was late at night and concubines were not allowed to walk around casually.
"Noble Concubine, look, it seems someone is coming." The palace maid was sharp-eyed and saw two lights coming towards this side.
The noble concubine hurriedly looked over there, her heart sinking again.
Two lamps. Hui'an is not a favored princess, so how could she have two lamps to lead the way?
But when the figure walked in, the noble concubine was stunned.
The person who came was indeed her daughter, Princess Hui'an. The noble concubine hurriedly walked towards her daughter and said, "Hui'an, what's going on? Why did you come back so late?"
Hui'an saw his mother looking at the two palace maids warily, and hurriedly called out to her mother with a smile.
Then he said to the two eunuchs, "You can go back first!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The two eunuchs bowed, turned around and disappeared into the night.
Just as the noble concubine was about to say something, Hui'an came forward, supported her, and walked into the courtyard.
"Mother, it's cold at night. Why don't you wait for your daughter inside?"
"I'm just worried about you!"
"What on earth happened today? Why did the Queen Mother force the emperor to abdicate and then commit suicide? It's really scary."
"You don't know that after Mother heard the news, she was worried all night."
The noble concubine asked anxiously.
Hui'an patted her mother's hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine."
"The Queen Mother's ambitions are not new. She has committed many evil deeds and will eventually perish. She poisoned the Emperor's sister-in-law and even attempted to drag down the Emperor's brother and herself."
"Unexpectedly, her brother, Duke Chen, also wanted to take that position. Later, Duke Chen and his group rebelled and were captured by the emperor and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, awaiting their fate."
"When Chen Ruixue saw that her brother was going to compete with her for the throne, she danced under the moonlight and then committed suicide."
"The funny thing is, the Duke of Chen wasn't too sad."
As they were talking, they had already returned to the house. The noble concubine was sighing as she listened to her daughter's story.
"Then why did you come back so late?" asked the noble concubine again.
Hui'an smiled and replied, "I went to the Emperor's sister-in-law's Fengqi Palace and sat for a while. The Emperor's brother might be planning a marriage with me. Mother, please don't try to stop me when the time comes."
"Why would mother stop you? Does your royal brother want to marry you to the third prince of the Great Chu?" The noble concubine asked anxiously.
Although the third prince of Da Chu is a good man, my daughter will also leave Xirong and go to Da Chu. In this case, will there be a chance for us to meet again in this life?
When Hui An heard this, he realized there was a misunderstanding and quickly said, "Mother, what are you talking about? The Third Prince has a fiancée, and it's the Princess of Changping County."
"Ah? Aren't they cousins?" The noble concubine was also dumbfounded.
Hui'an was immediately amused and said with a smile, "No, the Princess of Changping County is the adopted daughter of Emperor Zhaohe of Great Chu, so they are cousins, but not real cousins."
"So that's how it is. Although the Third Prince is very good, I still don't want to marry you to the Great Chu."
"Then why do you say that mother would not want to?"
Seeing his mother's curious gaze, Hui'an hesitated for a moment, then said, "My royal brother might want to betroth me to Marquis Jing'an as his wife."
"What!" The noble concubine was so shocked that she stood up immediately, her face full of anger.
"No, I have to go find your brother. Marquis Jing'an is so weak now and could die at any time. How can I marry you to such a man?"
The noble concubine was extremely anxious, and Hui An quickly grabbed her mother and said, "Mother, please don't be anxious."
"The Changping County Master is a skilled doctor. Tomorrow, my brother will first invite the Jing'an Marquis to the palace to treat him."
"However, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion was not a faithful wife, and her posthumous child was not the old Marquis's child at all. These things were told to my daughter by my royal brother."
"Mother, please don't tell anyone else. Even if Marquis Jing'an is cured tomorrow, you need to show your unwillingness when your daughter gets married."
"Also, my brother the Emperor said that he would give you the Cihui Palace to take care of you in your old age."
The noble concubine was stunned: "If your royal brother really said so, then can Jing'an Marquis really be cured?"
