Liang Jing came to the queen. The queen looked up at her and said, "The Concubine Xian came just now, but I didn't see her."
"Concubine Xian has deceived the trust of the princess and the county lord, which is equivalent to tying your arms." Liang Jing said, "Now rumors have begun to spread in the palace, saying that the emperor has decided to expel the Liu brothers. Go out of the capital."
"Isn't it decided yet? Why has word spread in the palace?" The queen raised her eyebrows.
"Needless to say, this must be Concubine Xian's intention. She is very good at building momentum and preventing others from taking advantage of her." Liang Jing could see clearly, "I think she must have let the wind out in advance because she wanted to take action. She was afraid of waiting for the imperial edict. It’s hard to get back at once.”
"I guess it should look like this. Let's see what she does next!" The queen sneered.
Sure enough, just after lunch, someone from the palace came in and reported: "The good concubine wants to see you."
"No." The queen didn't even raise her head.
"Didn't I already tell you to get up early?" Liang Xiao said to the palace attendant, "What's more, the queen has to take a nap now!"
The palace man came out and replied to Concubine Xian: "The Queen is missing, you'd better go back!"
"Sister Lingque, please, please go in and send a message for us! Just say that our empress has something urgent to see." Shu Cong, the maid of Concubine Xian, begged.
The palace maid named Lingque looked embarrassed: "Chief Liang scolded me just now. Sister, at least think about it for me. I'm just a little palace maid delivering messages."
"Don't embarrass others." Concubine Xian stopped her maid and said kindly to Ling Que, "I am indeed embarrassing you, young lady. I will wait here!"
It was also noon. Although there was a layer of clouds in the sky, the weather was extremely hot and muggy.
Concubine Xian stood under the steps of the palace, where there was no shade.
When the people coming and going in the palace saw this scene, they didn't say anything in person, but they couldn't help but talk behind their backs.
There are also people from other places who pass by here to do business, so they naturally see it.
The queen took a nap comfortably, got up and washed herself, and Liang Jing combed her hair himself.
The queen looked at the bronze mirror and asked, "What's going on outside now? Is there anything going on with Concubine Xian?"
"Going back to the Queen, Concubine Xian is still waiting outside and refuses to leave." Liang Jing said, "So I just wanted to finish combing your hair in a while and go out to persuade her to go back to Jiaolan Palace. I can't stand here all the time." nice."
"She's obviously just showing off." The queen sneered, "Pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved, so that people would say I don't care about old feelings and am burning bridges."
"There are too many fools in the world who follow the wind and follow the rain. We don't have to worry about them one by one." Liang Jing said, "It's enough as long as Your Majesty doesn't think so."
"Of course Your Majesty won't think so. After all, he has to make the final decision." The queen said, "I want to see what other tricks she, Liu Luan'en, can come up with."
Liang Jing finished combing the queen's hair, then walked outside and saw Concubine Xian still standing there, her head and face covered with sweat.
Then he stepped forward and said, "Mother Xian, why are you doing this? The palace was originally peaceful, so please don't listen to false rumors and make yourself anxious. And let people think that you intend to mess with the Queen." Upset."
"Mr. Liang, who am I? How dare I offend the Queen? I don't even dare to offend you." Concubine Xian's thin body swayed slightly, and she had to be supported by the maid next to her to stand firm, "I I just heard some rumors, and I was really worried, so I came to beg the Queen because I had no other choice. Please be compassionate and let me in!"
"Those are just rumors, and they can't even be considered as chasing rumors. My Majesty, how can you justify your request to the Queen Empress with falsehoods?" Liang Jing's tone was gentle and respectful, but he repeatedly turned her away, "You always They are all the most calm. Why can't you calm down and think about it now? Besides, even if such a thing really happens, it is His Majesty who makes the decision. If you don't ask His Majesty to come to the Queen instead, I think it is not appropriate."
"Eunuch Liang, I beg you, please let me go in to see the Queen! I haven't seen her for several months, so just treat me as a greeting to her, isn't it?" Concubine Xian begged. Liang Jing can be called cowardly, "My mother is already over eighty years old and it is difficult to survive the ups and downs. My elder sister-in-law has tuberculosis. Even if she takes a rest every day, she still coughs up blood. Once she leaves Beijing, she may not be able to save her life."
There are also two nephews and daughters-in-law who are about to give birth. My Liu family has a whole family..."
When Concubine Xian said this, she couldn't help but choked up and couldn't speak any more.
Of course Liang Jing knew that Concubine Xian was acting, but on the surface he still comforted her with gentle words: "My queen, please don't scare yourself. This is all a matter of course. The queen wants you to relax. It's such a hot day, but Don’t get sunstroke. The Queen will never leave you alone."
After saying that, he asked the people around to take Concubine Xian back to the palace, but Concubine Xian made up her mind and refused to leave.
During the dispute, the sky became increasingly cloudy, and a heavy rain was about to fall.
"Amazing! It's going to thunder and rain in such a weather soon. Your body is weak now, my dear. It's not a joke if you get caught in the rain." Liang Jing persuaded Concubine Xian in a friendly voice, while he also told Concubine Xian that she was following. Her people said, "Why don't you people know how to think about your master? At this moment, I still have my wife standing outside. Are you willing to die?!"
The people in front of Concubine Xian were submissive in front of Liang Jing, but their movements were slow and they whispered, "Mother, let's go back! It's about to rain."
"Empress! Please let me see you!" Concubine Xian shouted desperately, even kneeling down, "I am loyal and have never thought of disobeying you in the slightest. I have made mistakes. You It can be beaten or scolded, just please don’t miss me!”
Immediately, the rain from the sky seemed to be unable to delay any longer, and fell suddenly.
At this time, people were wearing only thin clothes, and when they came into contact with the rain, they were immediately soaked.
"The Concubine Xian is trying to save some dignity for herself, and she is also protecting the dignity of the Queen." Liang Jing lifted up the Concubine Xian, "Don't make a mistake and regret it later."
He is tall and has strong arms. In such a position, the virtuous concubine cannot kneel down even if she wants to.
What's more, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, as if God has driven me crazy. The cold rain pours down on my head, and I can't see clearly from the other side.
Liang Jing did something bad and held the umbrella himself and sent Concubine Xian back to Jiaolan Palace.
He told Kang Guang and others: "Go and ask for the imperial doctor quickly. Don't let the Concubine Xian catch a cold. Those of you who are in front of you should be attentive and comforting. No one is allowed to spread those invisible words, otherwise the Empress will be severely punished." punish!"
