"Ling'er, get up."
Han Ling saw the old lady approaching, with tears in his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect that the old lady would be so protective of him. As if he had found a backbone, he leaned over and fell at the old lady's feet, choked and unable to speak.
"Taifu... Taifu..."
"Master..."
The old lady's eyes suddenly turned red again. She reached out and touched his head and comforted him: "Good boy, get up first."
Guo Yong and his family members hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Ling and others up.
After saying that, he frowned and glanced at Eunuch Qu. Eunuch Qu's knees softened and he knelt down immediately, "Our family really didn't embarrass Mr. Han, our family just..."
The old lady interrupted him coldly, "Then what were you talking about when you pulled Ling'er? Is it possible that so many people are not as good as you, a chamberlain from the palace?"
Eunuch Qu is hard to argue with. How could he say that he was specifically trying to appease Han Ling? But Han Ling is the son of the eldest princess, so why should he be a chamberlain? Just because he is the chamberlain of Shoukang Palace?
"Our family... our family really didn't embarrass Mr. Han..."
The old princess of Jinyang stared at Eunuch Qu and snorted coldly, "You don't dare..." Her unfinished words had something to say, and everyone instantly understood that she was the Queen Mother.
Eunuch Qu's face turned pale, and just when he was about to speak, Han Ling raised his hand and said to everyone: "Han Ling is very grateful that you can come today, but my mother had a problem with... when she was young. Before she left, she only hoped that our family could When he returned to his hometown in Yangzhou, Han Ling did not dare to worry his mother."
"Han Ling has memorized everything Eunuch Qu said. He will keep everything simple and will not talk too much. He will definitely keep his mouth shut in this life..."
After saying this, Han Ling bowed in the direction of the palace again while Eunuch Qu was stunned.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Han Ling's words clearly meant something inside. The Queen Mother was indeed at odds with the eldest princess back then. For this reason, many noble ladies stayed away from the Queen Mother, who was still the young lady of Chengguo Palace at that time.
So what exactly happened between the two of them back then? How could the Queen Mother still be so concerned and not hesitate to send someone to reprimand the Han family at this moment?
But obviously, Han Ling, who has always been gentle and filial, will not disclose the past to the public for the sake of the eldest princess's last wish. After all, the power of the Queen Mother's party...
It's good that they can return to their hometown safely.
Everyone looked at Eunuch Qu with even sharper eyes. He was a man who relied on his power...
The old master wanted to speak again, but all he could see were the frightened looks of the Han family and the pleading eyes of Han Ling. He felt sad in his heart. He who became the king was the king. Even he, who was the head of the civil servants at that time, could not protect him. His favorite student couldn't protect his little highness, let alone today?
It's good to be able to go back to my hometown in Yangzhou, it's good to be able to live a stable life, it's already good...
The old man thought of the little man who had been following His Highness all day long. He raised his hand and touched Han Ling's head lovingly, "Don't be afraid, Ling'er. When you return to Yangzhou, I will send someone to take you back." .”
This is the eldest princess's child, and this is their little highness's nephew. They are all gone, but the Han family is innocent, and all he can do is send someone to escort him.
The old princess of Jinyang understood what the old lady meant, and immediately said: "Your Highness and I are like sisters, so I should give you a ride. However, I am old and my legs and feet can no longer walk, so let the children at home take a ride... …”
"My eldest grandson can leave now. It is his honor to send His Highness and his family back..." The speaker was Mrs. Wan of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
"My boy..."
One after another, the younger members of the family were asked to send Han Ling's family back to Yangzhou. Han Ling's eyes turned red again.
Sure enough, everything was as expected by their mother. Even if they did not need an escort, everyone would send someone to pay attention to whether they were safe when they returned to Yangzhou, thinking of the past friendship.
From today on, rumors will spread among the nobles, and old things will be mentioned again. The Queen Mother in the palace will no longer dare to touch their family. Even if one of them is injured, some people will suspect that the Queen Mother did it.
"Thank you for your care and concern. Han Ling doesn't dare to work for you. When he returns to his hometown, he will definitely report to your elders that they are safe..."
…
When Eunuch Qu returned to the palace from the Han family, his legs were weak, and his whole body became a little dazed. He just went to deliver a message today, why did he end up like this?
Did he cause trouble for the Queen Mother? But, it really has nothing to do with him...
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother was so happy every time he saw Chao Lu return to the palace from the eldest princess's residence, he wouldn't have grabbed this job, but today... he was in bad luck.
In the Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother, who had received the news, was sitting on a chair pruning the potted plants on the table next to her. After hearing Eunuch Qu's trembling report again, she chuckled and raised her hand to cut off a branch.
The snapping sound of the scissors made Eunuch Qu tremble in his heart, and he couldn't help but apologize, "The Queen Mother, please forgive me, the Queen Mother, please forgive me..."
Chao Lu raised her hand to tell him to retreat. Eunuch Qu got up and retreated hastily without even daring to lift his head.
The Queen Mother looked at the potted plants she had trimmed, with a half-smile in her eyes, "She has a long-term plan. The Ai family wants to see how long these old people can miss them. If that's the case, then let them survive for a few days..."
Now it's just because she just passed away, everyone is nostalgic, a little sad in their hearts, and wants to give the Han family some favor, but as time goes by, who will still remember the Han family? Who would still remember Her Royal Highness, the most noble princess in the palace back then?
"Based on the Ai family's understanding of Wen Hui, she will not tell her son. If one more person knows, it will be more dangerous. The most the Han family knows is that Wen Hui has something to do with the Ai family."
How could she put her son in danger if she planned so much for her son?
"She must have told her confidants to send people to find the old nanny. She wants to see her alive and her corpse."
Aunt Tan had grown up with her since she was a child. There was no sign of her in the Han family today. She must have left Beijing early.
The female officer on the side responded to Chao Lu, "Yes."
"Also, I heard that there was a shadow guard left by King Jingnan back then, but they have not been seen for so many years. You can ask someone to find out privately whether this shadow guard is still there, and has it secretly followed Han Ling's family back to Yangzhou?"
She smiled contemptuously, "If there is more, you know what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I understand."
She put down the scissors in her hand, picked up the cut branch, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the eldest princess..."
It's just that the longer she lives, the lower her status will be. When she dies, she will be buried with her late husband in the ancestral grave. This princess has really lived a ridiculous life, so what can she compare with her?
Do you think that knowing a little bit of your own secrets can keep the Han family safe? When she finds that old nanny...
The Queen Mother looked outside, raised her chin slightly, and as soon as her hand loosened, the branch fell to the ground. This world belongs to the winner after all.
I'm a little confused, let me clear my thoughts~
