Chapter 827: Get dressed and go out
I've cried, I've talked, I've made a fuss...
Zhang Miaoying leaned softly against the back of the chair, letting her mother hold her hand and say those so-called sweet words.
Zhang Miaoying looked up at her mother and said weakly, "Mother, father must be rescued. How could I, a daughter, not know this?
However, mother is not in the palace today. If she had been in the palace at that time and saw how the Empress treated the female relatives of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and how she treated Leng Rongyue like a treasure, mother would know why her daughter could not say anything to plead for her father!
The Empress addressed the old lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion as aunt;
The wives of the Minister of Justice, Lord Fu, and the Vice Minister of War, Lord Fu, are called "sister-in-law";
When dealing with Leng Rongyue, he would call her "Moon" all the time, and either hold her hand or hug her in his arms...
If you don’t know, you would think Leng Rongyue is the Queen’s biological daughter!
Anyone with eyes can see the love he has for Leng Rongyue; it is totally genuine!
Mother, do you understand now?
Knowing that his father was in the Golden Palace and that the Emperor had just issued two imperial edicts, he openly distorted the Emperor's will and directly slandered Leng Rongyue. How stupid!
What an unforgivable sin this must be in the eyes of the Emperor and the Empress, right?
But my father just did it without knowing his own limitations!
Besides, my mother and sister should have heard about how His Royal Highness Prince Yu treated Leng Rongyue since the first imperial decree of marriage was issued at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, right?
Now that they have heard it, father, mother and sister should stop holding on to such wishful thinking!
But what about my sister? She knew that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was engaged to Leng Rongyue, but she still thought about someone else's fiancé.
Where's the mother?
Did you say a word of dissuasion?
No.
Not only that, but it encouraged and condoned it!
As for my father, he relied on the fact that he was the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yi and did what he knew was wrong. He disobeyed the Emperor in public. Isn't his fate... already doomed?
Obviously, the more favored Anguo Mansion and Leng Rongyue are, the harder it will be to erase his father's guilt!
Isn't it? "
"That's true, but... you can't just save your father!"
Wang said in an anxious tone.
"Ying'er, why don't you... why don't you go to the palace again, even if it means kneeling down to beg the Empress!
The Queen has always been kind-hearted... Besides, women are always soft-hearted.
Go and beg..."
"Mother!"
Zhang Miaoying interrupted Wang impatiently, "Didn't my daughter just say that?
If the mother had been there at the time and seen how the Queen treated Leng Rongyue, she would not have persuaded her daughter to beg the Queen!
Mother, it’s useless!”
Zhang Miaoying shook her head helplessly.
"Unless the Anguo Mansion no longer cares about it, unless Leng Rongyue no longer cares about it, this incident of father's can be resolved into a small matter.
If the Anguo Mansion and Leng Rongyue are unwilling to let my father go, then my father will never be able to escape from the Heavenly Prison!
Not only can I not leave the prison, my father will even...will..."
Zhang Miaoying didn't say anything else, and Wang understood.
"Ying'er, are you saying that... in order to rescue your father from the prison, you have to ask the people from the Anguo Mansion for help?
Oh, or... should I go and ask Leng Rongyue for help?
As long as they can let go, your father will be able to..."
"Mother……"
Faced with such a mother, Zhang Miaoying didn't know what to say.
Pulling her hand back, Zhang Miaoying looked at her mother, "Mother, it was the Emperor's will that father was thrown into the Heavenly Prison!
It was because my father angered the emperor that the emperor threw my father into the sky prison;
It was not because of the Duke Anguo and his son or Leng Rongyue who reported my father that he was thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor!
Why doesn’t my mother understand?
Well, without further ado, I'll just ask you, if you were Leng Rongyue, what would you do? "
Wang took a few steps back and managed to keep her balance.
Yes, if I were Leng Rongyue, would I plead for mercy to my enemy who slandered me?
You should hate that he is not dead, right?
“Then…what should we do?
Could it be that...your father...your father will be locked up in the sky prison forever?
Are we going to be stuck like this forever?
I’m afraid that if this continues, the Cifu Mansion will be really finished!
I think... His Royal Highness Prince Yi will not go against the Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Yu just for the sake of our Second Auxiliary Mansion!
Could it be that... our position as the Minister of the Court is really doomed because of your father's misstep?"
Zhang Miaoying closed her eyes helplessly. She didn't want to look at anything in front of her anymore.
Wang staggered back two steps and grabbed the coffee table next to her before she could stand steady.
I closed my eyes and two lines of desperate tears slid down my cheeks.
Zhang Miaotong, who was sitting nearby, looked coldly at her mother Wang, but did not step forward to help.
He looked at his sister Zhang Miaoying who was sitting there with her eyes closed and silent... then lowered his eyes, thinking about something.
After a while, as if she had made a decision, Zhang Miaotong stood up and walked out of the hall without saying a word.
Hearing the noise, Wang and Zhang Miaoying opened their eyes and looked at Zhang Miaotong's back as she walked out with her back straight, without calling out to her.
Why call her?
Zhang Miaotong walked out of the flower hall, turned around the corridor, and ordered the little maid beside her, "Prepare a carriage for me and wait outside the mansion gate!"
"Yes, Second Miss!"
The little maidservant glanced at Zhang Miaotong's face, not daring to offend her. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just nodded in agreement and turned around and ran away.
Zhang Miaotong walked quickly towards her own yard at the back.
"Dress up for me, I'm going out!"
