Chapter 404: Palace
Qin's first reaction was shock, and then she quickly said, "Don't let her do this."
She was banished to the cold palace because of irrefutable evidence of her guilt, which also involved the death of the fifth prince. The entire Qin family was implicated, but the third princess is still not looked down upon by any servant in the palace.
That's because the emperor loves the third princess.
Qin knew from Wan Zhaori over the years that the third princess was in a good situation. After all, the emperor loved the third princess, which made her feel better. But if she asked for help because of this matter, it might wear out the relationship between father and daughter. It was hard to say whether the emperor would let her go for the sake of the third princess. But now she had nothing. Was she going to gamble with the third princess's future for the possibility of getting out of the cold palace?
As long as she is in the cold palace, she was sent to the cold palace by the emperor. The emperor will naturally feel that he owes this daughter and will treat her better in the future.
"It's not worth it. Please persuade her not to do such a thing." Qin paused and said, "Tell her that if the time comes, she should ask the emperor for mercy. She should say that she knows that I have committed a serious crime and does not ask for forgiveness, but only asks that she can enter the palace to see me in the future."
The Emperor would only agree to this request without anger, and it would also be best for the Third Princess.
"Your Majesty." Wan Zhao knew Qin's intentions. Regardless of how she treated others, she was always very kind to the Third Princess. His eyes were red for a moment.
Qin didn't want to see him like this: "Go away."
Wan Zhao did not dare to shed tears in front of Qin, so he agreed and returned to the third princess from the cold palace.
He conveyed Qin's intention to the third princess, who felt even worse. How could she not know that her mother was thinking about her? She became more determined to ask her father for help.
Wan Zhao naturally knew what the Third Princess would think after hearing this. Even he was moved. The Queen was really concerned about the Third Princess. And because of this, he couldn't let the Queen's efforts go to waste.
"Princess, you should follow the Empress's wishes. Think about it, the Emperor will do this for your sake. Even if he doesn't release the Empress from the cold palace, he won't really let her fend for herself."
The third princess was afraid that there would be no one to take care of her in the cold palace after she left the palace. A word from the emperor would be more effective than anything else.
"If the emperor is displeased, even if the queen is released, the situation may not be much better than when she was in the cold palace. When the princess leaves the palace, she will not be able to take care of the queen."
When the Third Princess heard this, she suppressed her thoughts. Wan Zhao was indeed right. If the women in the palace wanted to live a good life, it still depended on her father's favoritism. She was also determined in her heart that only if she was well could she take care of her mother.
Qin Shi didn't feel sad until Wan Zhao passed away. She had seldom cried in all these years in the cold palace. But now she heard the third princess's plan. The child had been thinking about her all these years, and she was even old enough to choose a husband.
Considering she is old enough, as a mother, she should take care of her, but now she is in the cold palace, what can she take care of? She doesn't even know what the third princess looks like. She has grown up a lot in these years, right?
Have you regretted it in these years? I didn't regret it at the beginning, I just blamed myself for not having enough means, and I had no way to deal with it, so I simply took the lives of Shen Qing and her son. But now I am staying in this cold palace, thinking about the third princess. If she hadn't been so carried away at the beginning, how could she be like this now? Now I am exhausted physically and mentally, but I have come step by step. Can I say that I regret it? Now, I don't have the qualifications to regret it.
Zhaohua Palace was preparing things for summer vacation, so Shen Qing naturally didn't have to worry about it. However, she knew that the third princess asked Wan Zhao to see Qin.
He also sighed: "The third princess is still very caring towards Qin."
Chunhua said, "It's just that Qin Shi Huang is so confused that she still doesn't stop even after the Second Prince is gone. She has a vicious mind and wants to harm the queen. If she didn't have that evil intention, there wouldn't be this day."
Chen Qing thought about herself and Qin. At the beginning, Qin hated the queen the most. But later, she became biased because Qin's fall from favor was related to her. In Qin's heart, she was equal to the queen. The queen was noble and she was not easy to deal with, so she thought she was easy to deal with.
She did not sympathize with Qin Shi. She could not blame others for not being able to figure it out. "As long as the Third Princess can see clearly, that's fine."
The third princess is grown up now. It doesn't matter if they are not targeting her because of what happened in the past. After all, she is Xuanyuan Ling's daughter. She is different from his concubines. It's okay as long as she doesn't cause any trouble.
Chunhua listened to Chen Qing's words that the queen was open-minded, and hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.
The arrangements for summer vacation were the same as in previous years. Shen Qing was used to it. Xuanyuan Ling was in a very good mood and said to her, "There is a lotus pond in the palace. I will go boating with you."
Shen Qing was more realistic: “I want to eat lotus root.”
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
Shen Qing looked speechless and innocent: "Lotus root is delicious."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her unhappily: "Greedy cat."
No matter what, it was decided that I had to eat lotus root before going to the palace.
Then they set off, taking the prince and princess with them. Chen Qing rode in the same carriage with Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu was very happy about going out. He was excited for a while and pulled at the curtain to look for a long time, but he found that the excitement died down.
After a while, he started yawning. Shen Qing looked at him like this and let him lie down and rest for a while.
After a while, Xiaoliu fell asleep, and Shen Qing was relieved: "Finally it's quiet, the child is really energetic."
Chunhua smiled and said, "That's because the prince is in good health. If he was not in good spirits, Your Majesty would be worried."
That's what happened. Shen Qing thought about it. Before she became a mother, she never thought that she would have to worry about someone like this one day. Looking at Xiaoliu's sleeping face, she sighed for a long time: "It would be better if this child looked more like me."
Chunhua couldn't help laughing. After all these years, why is the Queen still thinking about this? This little bit of thought is so adorable.
All the way to the palace, the concubines, princes and princesses were arranged to go down to rest. Xiaoliu slept in the car, and when he really arrived at the destination, he was full of energy again.
Shen Qing saw him gathering together with the third prince and the seventh prince. The third prince was older and very caring, but the fourth prince stayed away from them. He didn't talk much in recent years. Although he was rescued at the beginning, his leg was not healed well, so he couldn't run and jump like other children. He walked with a limp, and he must have some inferiority complex.
Chen Qing looked at Xiao Liu, and the third princess looked at the sixth prince and then at Chen Qing.
She naturally knew that Qin was convicted because she harmed Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince, which ultimately caused Concubine Yi to lose the Fifth Prince. After all, it was her own mother who harmed others, but thinking about Qin who was in the cold palace and couldn't meet her, she couldn't get any closer to Shen Qing just because of her apology. However, Concubine Xian was in charge of the six palaces, and she was grown up now, and it was time for her to plan for herself. She hadn't made up her mind before, but now she thought that only if she was good could her mother be good, so she couldn't be mean to Concubine Xian, even if she looked good on the surface.
