Holding hands?
Talking and laughing?
Emperor Jingli hated corruption, bribery and factionalism the most in his life. How could he talk and laugh with Judge Liao's daughter when Judge Liao violated two laws of the Wei Dynasty?
Impossible!
Concubine Liang still didn't believe it.
She sent a maid to Lisheng Pavilion to inquire again.
After the maid came back, she said, "Replying to Concubine Guifei, the emperor is in Lisheng Pavilion with Xi Zhaorong to watch the flowers."
"Watching flowers?" Concubine Liang asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"Did the emperor lose his temper?"
"No."
"The emperor didn't punish anyone else."
"No."
Concubine Liang shook her body and turned to look at Concubine Xian beside her.
Concubine Xian turned pale and asked, "Does the Emperor care so much about Xi Zhaorong?"
Concubine Liang was speechless.
"Or does the Emperor not believe that Judge Liao was corrupt and took bribes?"
Concubine Liang looked panicked.
"My Lady, will the Emperor personally find out the truth?"
"What do you mean by finding out the truth?" Concubine Liang suddenly turned around and scolded, "The truth is that Liao Shiwen is stupid and greedy. He wanted to make friends with the rich and powerful and spend a lot of money by taking advantage of Xi Zhaorong's power!" Concubine Xian
did not expect Concubine Liang to suddenly get angry, and she trembled with fear.
Concubine Liang calmed down after her anger was vented. She turned to look at Concubine Xian and said in a much gentler voice, "Concubine Xian, what I said is not wrong."
Concubine Xian was still frightened and bowed her head slightly and said, "Your Highness is right."
"Well, we are cousins after all. In this huge harem, there is no one closer than us."
"Yes."
"Xi Zhaorong is really too much. Whether it is talent, family background, or status, she is comparable to you and me, but now she is suppressing us in every way." Concubine Liang walked to Concubine Xian and followed her. She took Concubine Xian's hand and said softly, "I did this for the good of both of us."
Concubine Xian raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang smiled at Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian nodded.
After talking to Concubine Liang Guifei for a few more words, Concubine Xian came out of Linhua Palace.
Walking on the road thoughtfully, she couldn't help but look up at Lisheng Pavilion.
Lisheng Pavilion was quiet.
After watching the potato flowers in the test field, Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing's hand and walked towards the inner room, saying, "It's well planted."
Liao Qingqing lowered her head and remained silent.
Emperor Jingli said, "Plant well and don't think about anything else."
Liao Qingqing turned to look at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli said, "Nap."
Emperor Jingli took off his coat and sat on the edge of the bed.
Liao Qingqing followed and sat down.
Emperor Jingli turned his head to look at Liao Qingqing and asked, "Are you worried about your parents?"
Liao Qingqing nodded.
"Don't worry, they are not corrupt or accept bribes, and they don't form cliques for personal gain."
"Your Majesty, how did you know?" Liao Qingqing asked in surprise.
"I was the one who recommended your father for the position. I would not be wrong."
"But doesn't the rumor say that both the person and the spoils are taken?"
"The real corrupt officials who accept bribes and form cliques for personal gain are not so stupid."
"Your Majesty, do you want to clear my father's name?" Liao Qingqing asked again.
"Of course." Emperor Jingli nodded.
"Didn't you say there were no clues?"
Emperor Jingli smiled, hugged Liao Qingqing and lay on the bed, turned his head, faced Liao Qingqing's delicate white face, gently pinched it, and said, "If there are no clues, I can create them."
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli with eyes wide open.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, is this how you solve cases?" "
Is there a problem?"
"This method--"
"The means are not important, as long as the goal is achieved."
"..." As expected of Emperor Jingli, he is so cunning. No wonder he can hold great power at such a young age. Fortunately, he is a wise monarch, otherwise the world will be in chaos. At the same time, she thought of another question and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
"You continue to plant potatoes."
"Continue to plant potatoes?"
"Yes."
"Shouldn't I do something?"
"What do you want to do?" Emperor Jingli asked back.
"This matter was caused by me."
"Actually, it's not." Emperor Jingli sighed and said, "This seems to be directed at you, but in fact it is directed at me. The interests around me are too great, and countless people are willing to break the iron law to obtain them. This time, even if the empress dowager does not come forward to protect you, I will not hurt you in the slightest."
"Why?"
Emperor Jingli gently held Liao Qingqing's hair and said, "I just heard that Judge Liao was in trouble, and I thought, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with you, I will protect you."
"Your Majesty." Liao Qingqing stared straight at Emperor Jingli, as if she saw a clear spring through his dark eyes, which made people feel calm and comfortable.
"Are you touched?"
"Yes."
"Do you still want to thank the general?"
"???" Thanking the general was a matter of hundreds of years ago, why can't this guy get over it? Liao Qingqing stretched out her hand and pinched Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli smiled.
Liao Qingqing leaned towards Emperor Jingli, her forehead against the back of his neck, and called softly: "Your Majesty."
"Yes?" Emperor Jingli responded softly.
"Thank you, your concubine."
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for believing in me and my family."
"Go to sleep." Emperor Jingli patted Liao Qingqing on the back.
Liao Qingqing had experienced panic, emotion, warmth, and shed so many tears in the morning. At this moment, she smelled the faint fragrance of Emperor Jingli, and she relaxed and hugged Emperor Jingli's arm tightly. She
fell asleep in a short while.
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Liao Qingqing's eyelids. Thinking of Liao Qingqing crying, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and it took a while for him to recover his clarity. He hugged Liao Qingqing and fell asleep.
Liao Qingqing didn't know how long she had slept.
When she woke up, Emperor Jingli was gone.
"Master, you slept for more than half an hour." He Xiang said.
"So long? What about the emperor?"
"The emperor only slept for two quarters of an hour."
"..." Emperor Jingli was really inhuman. Out of the 365 days in a year, his life was extremely regular for 364 days. She asked again: "Where did the emperor go? Did he leave any words?"
"The emperor went back to his study and told the master not to think too much and just plant potatoes well." He Xiang said.
Liao Qingqing nodded.
In fact, she also wanted to do something.
But she was a small concubine.
Living in the harem for a long time, she couldn't do anything to help the second master Liao and Ji.
Thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible to help them.
The emperor asked her to plant potatoes with peace of mind, and she said to plant potatoes with peace of mind.
Once the potatoes are grown, they can be popularized in the Wei Dynasty.
That would be a great achievement, and maybe it would benefit the second master Liao and others.
With the memories of the original owner, she still had feelings for the second master Liao and Ji, so she worked harder to observe and record the potatoes, and at the same time paid attention to the progress of the second master Liao's affairs.
In the next few days, she had no clue about the second master Liao's affairs.
Since Emperor Jingli promised that she would handle it, she did not ask much.
She lived her life as usual.
Some concubines who were waiting to see her laugh found that after this big thing happened, Liao Qingqing was neither demoted nor punished.
Knowing that the emperor treated Liao Qingqing with care, they began to be wary of Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing acted as if nothing had happened, and naturally called some concubines sisters.
However, she still heard some things about Liao Er Lao Ye, saying that Emperor Jingli really wanted to clear Liao Er Lao Ye's name.
However, some people in the court believed that Liao Er Lao Ye was caught with both the man and the woman, and should be punished immediately, and they kept putting pressure on Emperor Jingli.
Seeing that Emperor Jingli was indifferent, some people even said that Liao Qingqing was a demon concubine.
Emperor Jingli asked directly: "My dear, you tell me, what kind of demon is my Xi Zhaorong?"
The old minister was speechless.
Emperor Jingli said: "My dear, I am the real dragon emperor, and demons and evil spirits cannot get close to me. My dear, you said that Xi Zhaorong who sleeps beside me is a demon. My dear, do you mean that I am not a real dragon?"
The old minister was frightened and knelt down with a thump.
Emperor Jingli blocked the two words "demon concubine".
But there was still no progress on the matter of the second master Liao.
Emperor Jingli was not in a hurry at all. He had people checking on her every day, and he visited Liao Qingqing at least once a day.
Liao Qingqing knew how Emperor Jingli did things
, so she was not in a hurry. But recently she had a vague feeling that someone seemed to be following her, or someone was monitoring Lisheng Pavilion. She thought of the palace fighting dramas she had seen, and that someone might be watching her and Lisheng Pavilion, just to find out their mistakes so that they could focus on attacking them.
She immediately became alert, gathered He Xiang and others, and held a meeting of Lisheng Pavilion, asking everyone to behave themselves, be cautious, and report any abnormalities to her.
A few days passed like this, and it was the fifteenth of this month.
Liao Qingqing specially spent money to prepare dinner to entertain Emperor Jingli. After waiting for a long time, Emperor Jingli did not come out. She ordered He Xiang to check the situation and learned that Emperor Jingli went to Concubine Liang.
Went to Concubine Liang?
Emperor Jingli has not been to Linhua Palace for a long time.
Why did he think of going to Linhua Palace this time?
He Xiang said worriedly: "Master, is the emperor because of the second master..."
"No." Liao Qingqing denied.
"Then-"
"It's just going to Concubine Liang, it's no big deal."
Last year, Emperor Jingli often went to Concubine Liang, and Liao Qingqing felt that it was nothing. She knew that Emperor Jingli's body was not recovered from the poisoning and he could not do anything to Concubine Liang.
But she was a little depressed in her heart.
It's strange!
At this time, Concubine Liang was very happy because of the arrival of Emperor Jingli.
It was because she accidentally saw the appearance of Emperor Jingli and yearned for the position of empress that she asked her father to put pressure on Emperor Jingli and the empress dowager, so that she was able to enter the palace and use tricks to become Concubine Liang.
In the past few years, Emperor Jingli has been good to her.
Until Liao Qingqing appeared. As
soon as Liao Qingqing appeared, Emperor Jingli gave all his attention to Liao Qingqing.
Now that Liao Qingqing's father has committed a crime, does Emperor Jingli still hate Liao Qingqing?
Concubine Liang was a little happy and a little annoyed. If she had known that Emperor Jingli would come, she should have dressed up.
At this moment, she had to smile and greet him.
"Concubine Liang, please get up." Emperor Jingli sat on the seat of honor.
"Yes." Concubine Liang smiled and poured water for Emperor Jingli himself.
Emperor Jingli picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Concubine Liang smiled and tried to start a conversation, saying, "Your Majesty, the weather has been good recently, and the moon is particularly bright."
"The moon on the 15th is not bright, when will it be bright?" Emperor Jingli said indifferently.
Concubine Liang paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is right, but today's weather is really good."
"Okay, Concubine Liang, stop pretending."
Concubine Liang was stunned.
Emperor Jingli raised his dark eyes and said, "Concubine Xian has told me everything." Concubine
Liang's face froze: "???"
The author has something to say: ——Emperor
Jingli: I really admire my palace fighting skills, max!
Liao Qingqing: =口=!
Emperor Jingli: What do you mean by breed demon concubine?
Liao Qingqing: Your Majesty is great! O(∩_∩)O
