Shengpingle

Chapter 180 Farewell
In a few days, Luo Xiyao recovered, but her face was covered with acne marks.

Taifu Luo dragged his sick body to the court to plead guilty, and asked Zhenghe Emperor to withdraw his imperial edict.

It has been the practice throughout the dynasties that people with scars and damage on their faces are not allowed to be officials, let alone empresses of a country?
Sitting high on the throne, Emperor Zhenghe sternly refused, "There is no need for Tai Tuo to say anymore, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and I am by no means a person who cannot share weal and woe. Don't let Tai Tuo fall into my injustice."

"Your majesty, the empress is the mother of a country, and the tolerance of the mother of the country is a model for women in the world..."

Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to quote the scriptures, and spoke eloquently for no less than [-] words, and finally knelt down on the ground, "Please think twice, Your Majesty."

All the officials knelt down and shouted, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zhenghe Difu sighed, "I am so blessed!"

Luo Xiyao recovered, and after Nianyu said that there was no risk of infection, he went to Luo Mansion, Luo Xiyao's face——

Although he didn't care about the woman's appearance, and he didn't marry Luo Xiyao because of her appearance, but he didn't want to be talked about by later generations as having a pockmarked queen!
Having said that, the matter of Luo Xiyao's empress dowager is naturally nothing.

Mrs. Luo knelt down to thank you, and said, "I am already old, and after this incident, I am even more sick. I ask the emperor to give me grace, and I will return to my hometown with my old wife and granddaughter!"

Emperor Zhenghe stepped down from the throne, and supported Taifu Luo with tears in his eyes, "Teacher Luo is still young and strong.

I still need the Taifu to help me take care of these thousands of miles of land, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty still need the Taifu's guidance. The Taifu must not be so discouraged, otherwise it will be my crime."

But this still prevents him from resigning from his old age.

Mrs. Luo had already guessed that he was worried about leaving the capital, and he would not leave the capital either.

"...Wang Qing, don't forget the kindness of the late emperor...Take care of Brother Fu to grow up safely, marry a wife and have children, and leave Beijing for the country..."

Before the Empress Dowager passed away, she took his hand and wept blood, and entrusted the prince to him.

He will not forget the kindness of the first emperor, nor will he forget the last wish of the empress dowager.

The prince was still young, he stood in the court hall, the emperor and all the officials would think of the late emperor when they saw him, so the emperor dared not easily lay hands on the prince.

Now that the prince has grown up, he no longer needs his protection, and he will not leave easily.

The empress dowager thought only that the prince would leave the capital as soon as possible and become a prince of peace, but the late emperor entrusted far more than that.

He is already old, so old that he doesn't know if he can live to that day, but fortunately, the prince has grown up...

……

……

Knowing that Luo Xiyao had recovered from her illness, Hua Pingle invited Meng Shi and Qian Lingyue to see her together.

Meng Jiang found out, and also made a fuss and went together.

Luo Xiyao has lost a lot of weight. She was already thin, but now she is even thinner. She has a veil on her face, but she can't hide the scars and acne marks all over her face.

Meng Shi burst into tears on the spot, Meng Jiang's eyes were also red, and he said repeatedly, "Ah Qi said that Nian's palm prints have been making ointment for removing scars. Sister Luo, don't be afraid, it will definitely disappear in the future!"

Luo Xiyao's expression was very calm and peaceful, she shook her head, "No need, this is fine now."

Meng Jiang clenched his fist, "It's good! It's not good at all! What do outsiders say—"

Qian Lingyue coughed, "Mr. Meng, did Mrs. Luo just say that Miss Luo will take medicine soon?

Why hasn't anyone sent it yet?Why don't you go and have a look? "

Meng Jiang suddenly came to his senses and left with red eyes.

Luo Xiyao smiled, "Miss Qian doesn't need to interrupt Mr. Meng on purpose, outsiders talk about it, but it means that my beauty is a disaster, and I have killed Mr. Du and his mother, and I have received retribution."

Meng Shi said loudly, "That's not true! Sister Luo, don't listen to those people talking nonsense!
What does this matter have to do with you, Sister Luo?Blame those unscrupulous Fuguang rebels!

First to intercept and kill the prince, and now to kill you, Sister Luo!If I see them, I must kill them all! "

Although Luo Xiyao didn't know that her smallpox was caused by Su Xianyu's poisoning, she was very clear about Du Ruo's divorce, but she didn't correct Meng Shi's words, she smiled, "Miss Meng, don't be sad for me.

I had made up my mind to always accompany the Buddha, and I couldn't bear the sadness and embarrassment of my grandparents, so I made a marriage with Mr. Du.

It’s fine as it is now, I will go back to my hometown in Yuhang with my grandmother in a few days, and pray for Du Gongzi and his mother in the morning and evening, so as to make up for my sins a little bit.”

Seeing that her eyes were so clear, Meng Shi seemed to have really seen through this world of mortals, and was willing to live in solitude for this ancient Buddha with the green lamp, his heart groaned, and he choked up loudly, covering his face.

Luo Xiyao panicked, looked at Meng Shi who lost his composure and cried bitterly, and looked at Hua Pingle for help.

Hua Pingle, "..."

Don't look at me, I can't even coax Huo Yanzhi well, how could I coax a little girl?

Qian Lingyue sighed, stepped forward to hug Meng Shi lightly, and stroked her swaying back with one hand, "Okay, don't cry, with Nian's palm prints, Miss Luo will definitely recover slowly."

Meng Shi threw himself into her arms and cried even harder.

Hua Pingle, "..."

It seems that Qian Lingyue is not much better than her.

……

……

They didn't stay in Luo Mansion for lunch, seeing Luo Xiyao's tired face, they said goodbye and left without mentioning it.

That night, Anu came to report that Luo Xiyao had sent two boxes of books.

Hua Pingle, "..."

It's all about to go, don't you forget to shape her into an elegant and talented Mrs. Su?
On the top of the bookcase, Luo Xiyao attached a short letter, explaining that she couldn't take these away, and left them as a souvenir for her.

Hua Pingle flipped through them, most of them were poems and articles, and quite a few of them were very rare and rare books, which were very valuable in the market.

I don't know if Luo Xiyao doesn't understand their value, or if they are specially reserved for her to "add boxes".

There is also a painting that Hua Pingle recognized immediately after opening it, it was awarded to Su Xianyu by the Empress Dowager back then.

I just don't know how it got into Luo Xiyao's hands and was given to her by her.

On the fifth day, Mrs. Luo and Luo Xiyao returned to their hometown in Yuhang. The most famous wives and girls in the capital were escorted by their sons and brothers to see them off.

Meng Jiang called all the friends who used to hang out together to see Luo Xiyao off. Seeing the farewell crowd outside Baqiao was overcrowded, he hurried all the way to the Changting Pavilion twenty miles away to wait.

Sure enough, there was no one there, and they waited for more than an hour before finally waiting for the carriage to Luofu.

The boys and girls swarmed over, and Su Xianyu and Su Li, who were escorted by horses at the front, dismounted to salute.

Su Li went to help Mrs. Luo out of the car again, but Luo Xiyao refused to get out of the car.

The dandies were so thoughtful, they didn't yell for Luo Xiyao to get off the car to meet each other, they greeted Mrs. Luo one after another, asked Mrs. Luo to take care of her all the way, and took out the farewell gift and asked Su Li to hand it over.

Su Li thanked them one by one, and after the fuss was over, Hua Pingle started to chase people away, "Everyone who has nothing to do with it, go first, I want to have a few private words with Miss Luo!"

All the young people laughed and scolded, "Hua Er, who do you think is irrelevant? I think you are the most irrelevant one?"

All they said was that, but they left in a very sensible manner, leaving only Meng Jiang, Cheng Xiuyuan and a few very close friends staying.

Luo Xiyao got out of the car and asked, "What do Miss Hua Er want to tell me?"

Hua Pingle took out the painting, "Here, where did you come from?"

Luo Xiyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Yes, the crown princess gave it to Miss Hua as a souvenir."

She originally wanted to burn it, but it was always Su Xianyu's stuff, after all she was a bit reluctant, and giving it to Miss Hua Er was considered a well-deserved item.

Wang Miaoer?
How did it fall into Wang Miaoer's hands?

Su Xianyu gave it to her?

Alarm rings in Hua Pingle's heart, what is Su Xianyu's private relationship with Wang Miaoer?

Although she tried her best to control it, she couldn't help glancing at Su Xianyu out of the corner of her eye.

Su Xianyu understood the meaning of her look almost immediately, stepped forward with a wry smile, and raised his hand, "Miss Hua Er, I wonder if Su can take a look at the painting in the girl's hand?"

Hua Pingle took half a step back, raised his painting, "Just look at it like this".

Su Xianyu was silent, looked up and down, and said lightly, "Yes, it's the picture of the spring scene that Su gave Ah Jie.

It was originally a gift from the Empress Dowager, Su Mou saw that Ah Yu liked it very much, so she gave it to him, but somehow it got into the hands of the Crown Princess? "

Luo Xiyao was stunned, but she didn't know that there was a twist in the middle.

Mrs. Luo snorted coldly, and said in disgust, "How else did it get into her hands?
When Ah Jie was buried, nothing was left of him. My old woman took some rare books and ancient paintings from home and secretly stuffed them into his coffin. Somehow she saw it.

When I turned around, I saw her reaching out to dig into the coffin. I didn't yell, I'm afraid she wished she could even take off Ah Jie's shroud and sell it for money! "

Su Li cried out in surprise, "Father—"

Hua Pingle interrupted him loudly, "Didn't it mean that the Huo family rebelled, and no matter the master or slave, all the corpses were exposed in the wilderness?"

That's why she was finally reborn, but she didn't even have a place to worship!
Mrs. Luo knew that she said something she shouldn't have said, but she didn't feel regretful, she just said, "It's all happened many years ago, you just remember that the princess is not a good thing, stay away from her in the future!"

She said and looked at Hua Pingle, Meng Shi and Qian Lingyue, "Especially the few of you, when you get married in the future and celebrate the New Year, you will have to go to the palace to meet her, let alone be careless."

Hua Pingle suppressed the ups and downs and anxiety in his heart, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this old lady, I already knew that she is not a good person! The prince and prince helped me beat her!"

Mrs. Luo lived alone, but she didn't know the allusion, so she asked.

Hua Pingle talked about the matter from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Mrs. Luo took her hand and patted it with emotion, and sighed, "My good boy, you have a bright eye."

It's a pity that our Yaoyao couldn't see her true nature, she made her look like this, and even killed Du Ruo's mother and child!

Hua Pingle understood what she meant, and lowered his eyes.

When she was the same age as Luo Xiyao, why wasn't she deceived terribly by Wang Miaoer?

Qian Lingyue said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, old madam, if you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself. God will not let her go!"

She has always been quiet and reticent, but now she suddenly said this sentence. Although her tone was flat, it made people feel chills inexplicably.

Everyone's eyes looked over unconsciously, but she didn't seem to notice, and said to Luo Xiyao, "Miss Luo, don't take care when you go, Lingyue is looking forward to the day when I can meet you again!"

Only by taking care of yourself can you see the day when your enemies get retribution!
Luo Xiyao somehow heard the cold killing intent in Qian Lingyue's words, she was stunned, and saluted, "Sister Qian, don't worry, thank you for your kind words."

She will take care of herself, stop worrying her grandparents, and wait for the day when Wang Miaoer and Zheng Hedi get retribution!
Hua Pingle secretly glanced at Su Xianyu who was dazed, "Okay, okay, let's go, don't delay the trip of the old lady and Miss Luo."

Hua Ping'an, Meng Jiang, Meng Shi and Cheng Xiuyuan recovered from their daze, bid farewell to Mrs. Luo and Luo Xiyao, and rode away at Hua Pingle's urging.

The people who saw them off left, and those who were on their way would continue to move forward. Su Li raised his hand at Su Xianyu, "Uncle, should we go back now, or should we see Grandmother for a ride?"

He himself wanted to send Mrs. Luo and Luo Xiyao all the way to Yuhang.

Su Xianyu glanced at him, turned around and galloped away without saying a word.

Su Li felt that his eyes were too sad, and froze in place.

Mrs. Luo stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Li, let's go."

Su Li startled and called Grandmother, and Mrs. Luo sighed, "After Ah Jie died, Xian Yu was so sad that he fell ill and couldn't even get out of bed.

I have been keeping the fact that Wang Miaoer coveted Ah Jie's personal belongings all the time.

He suddenly heard about it today, and he must be sad, let him go."

"Grandmother, why, Huo, Mr. Huo was not thrown into the wilderness as recorded in the mansion newspaper?"

Mrs. Luo sighed again, "Not only Mr. Huo, but the Huo family, including even the young cousin of the family, were all buried in the Huo family's ancestral grave, it's just that there was no monument or grave."

Su Li clenched his hands hanging in his sleeves tightly, "Yes, uncle begged the emperor, or is it master?"

Mrs. Luo sneered, "Your master? How can he have such a big face in front of the emperor?"

So, uncle—

……

……

Hua Pingle followed Meng Jiang and others to the ten-mile long pavilion, and suddenly said, "So, the painting that Miss Luo gave me is not Su Xianyu's?
I don't want his stuff!Prince, you accompany me to return the painting to him! "

She said, regardless of Huo Yanzhi's answer or not, she turned her horse's head and ran back.

Huo Yanzhi followed immediately, and Hua Pingan quickly followed.

Meng Jiang also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cheng Xiuyuan, "Don't join in the fun."

Meng Jiang stared, "It just so happens that I'm going to see Ah Li for another ride, so why are you just joining in the fun?"

"Anyway, don't go!"

Cheng Xiuyuan looked thoughtfully at the backs of Hua Pingle and the three going away, and always felt that Miss Hua Er was not just going to return the painting, but she should not let Meng Jiang get in the way...

……

……

Hua Pingle met Su Xianyu who was returning on a fast horse on the way. Su Xianyu didn't know if he didn't see her or didn't want to say hello to her. He passed them by, but his two attendants hurriedly hugged her.

Hua Pingle ignored it, speeded up, and caught up with Mrs. Luo and her party.

Su Li helped Hua Pingan get into the carriage to accompany Mrs. Luo, and rode his own horse with Hua Pingle and Huo Yanzhi to the back of the convoy.

After the convoy had gone a certain distance, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, I just asked my grandma carefully.

It was my uncle who pleaded with the emperor and buried his father and grandfather in the Huo family's ancestral grave, but no monument was erected.

At that time, my uncle was too sick to get out of bed, and all funeral affairs were handled by my grandparents, and my father was dressed by my grandparents for the coffin.

Wang Miaoer reached out to explore her father's coffin, probably touching the broken flute."

But she didn't know the real preciousness of the broken flute, she only knew that the things worn by the heir of the Huo family must be extremely precious, so she casually gave her daughter to show off.
