Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 480 Crying Poor
Three days later, after the no-money supply of tonics from the Tai Hospital, Qingluo was able to go to the ground.

The first thing she did when she got up was to visit the eldest princess Chu Ying.

Although Chu Ying's condition has improved a lot, it is still miserable.

After several days of raising her, she was still so weak that she couldn't even lift her hands, and she was pitifully emaciated.

The Heartbroken Grass is a poison for the stomach and intestines, and it won't be cured overnight, so I can only drink some porridge every day and slowly nourish it.

Seeing her so pitiful, the anger in Her Majesty's heart became stronger, and the anger towards Lin Shuyao and Shen Qing also increased.

"Aiqing, why are you up?" The queen walked in with Prince Kang Rui in casual clothes, and asked with concern when she saw Qing Luo.

Qingluo bowed to her: "I'm slightly injured, it's okay. I just don't worry, I have to see Her Royal Highness with my own eyes."

The queen couldn't help being a little moved.

He almost died himself, and he still wanted to see the eldest princess, which shows that he is really sincere.

"Aiqing is also suffering." The queen sighed softly, "Now that the eldest princess's injury has stabilized, if you have any request, just say it."

Qing Luo declined: "It is my duty to save His Highness, I dare not ask for a reward."

Prince Kang Rui said with a smile: "Your Majesty said everything that day in front of all the ministers. You don't want His Majesty to break his promise, do you?"

"I don't dare," Qing Luo pretended to be terrified and thought for a long time before hesitating, "I don't have any wishes, but that old lady Lin has always been very kind to me, and besides, she is too old to stand the trouble. Your Majesty Can you take care of her? Of course, Lin Shuyao and Shen Qing, the culprits, must not be let go."

The Queen glanced at her and smiled.

This Liu Qingluo is indeed extremely intelligent.

It seemed that she didn't ask for anything, but this sentence, on the one hand, begged forgiveness for the Lin family, and on the other hand, drove Lin Shuyao and Shen Qing to the bottom of the valley.

Now that the eldest princess and Liu Qingluo are getting better gradually, it is not necessary to sentence Shen Qing to death.

But as a victim, he still gave up his life to save the princess. The queen can no longer chill the hearts of her subjects for the sake of the little princess.

What's more, Liu Qingluo doesn't want high officials and generous salary, nor gold, silver and treasures. She just wants justice, and she can't refuse to agree to anyone.

"I understand Aiqing's thoughts." The empress pondered, "Since the eldest princess is fine, I will not pursue it any further except for Lin Shuyao and the rest of the Lin family. As for Shen Qing, he almost became a son-in-law after all, and I am not good either. How about killing him directly and letting him stay in the prison for a few years?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Luo knew that the little princess Chu Jing had already begged for Shen Qing.

The empress has successfully knocked Shen Qing, the son-in-law, into the dust, but she still has to act like a loving mother, using her Liu Qingluo as an excuse to put Shen Qing in prison.

At that time, Chu Jing's resentment towards her will naturally be passed on to Liu Qingluo.

Not only tidying up Shen Qing, but also fulfilling their mother-daughter love, this great empress really played a good game of chess!

A sneer appeared on Qingluo's drooping face.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't care about Chu Jing's little trouble at all.

It's just that the empress can't use her for nothing, she has to give some blood and some benefits.

"Cough..." Qingluo coughed weakly, with her pale face and slightly baggy dress, she looked really pitiful.

Prince Kang Rui couldn't bear it: "Master Liu has worked so hard, you can't ask for favors for others, you should also ask for some benefits for yourself."

Qingluo smiled weakly: "I eat and drink here, I don't know how many times better than at home, I really don't need anything..."

The queen scolded with a smile: "Are you still planning to live here for the rest of your life? Move out quickly when you recover from your injury. I allow you to enjoy the same treatment as now at home."

"Your Majesty is joking." Qing Luo said, "How can the small county government office in the countryside be compared with the palace?"

The queen laughed and pointed at her: "Well, so you are waiting for me here. There are many officials who cry poorly with me, and this is the first time I have seen you so reserved."

Qingluo chuckled: "Your Majesty, I'm honored."

"Who is praising you?" the queen said angrily, "Yesterday I said that whoever can save the eldest princess will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver. I will not break my promise, so there is no need to cry poorly with me here."

Qing Luo felt wronged: "Your Majesty, I'm really poor. I only have a few dozen taels of salary a year. I have to support my parents, but I also have to take out some of it to pay for the master, and occasionally I have to ask my subordinates to do tooth sacrifices. Money is tight! This minister The official clothes are still cut by the girl at home, and I don’t have the money to go out and buy ready-made ones..."

The empress didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The more you talk about it, the more excited you are, don't you?"

As far as the official uniform she wore before, anyone with a little discernment can tell that the fabric and craftsmanship are first-class, how can it compare with the ones bought outside?

For this one piece of clothing, her salary of dozens of taels is not enough to make two pieces.

Her Majesty would not believe that she didn't make extra money secretly.

But the imperial court didn't say that the courtiers were not allowed to make money by themselves, as long as they didn't break the law, didn't take bribes, even if she was the emperor, she couldn't control it.

Therefore, the empress could only endure Liu Qingluo's crying, and waved her hands: "Don't cry with me, I will give you another 100 taels of gold, and I will treat it as your meritorious service in governing the region during this period of time!"

She was a county magistrate in Pingyang County, and she was conscientious, and no one could deny this.

So this time Liu Qingluo came, she had more property equivalent to 5000 taels of silver in her pocket.

With the money in her pocket, Qingluo's mood immediately improved.

It was not in vain for her to get up and visit Her Royal Highness the Princess!
After returning, she changed her clothes, combed her hair and washed her hands again, begged a bunch of food from the imperial dining room, put it in a big food box, and carried it to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

At this time, her face was rosy and calm, and she looked completely different from the weak look when she met the empress before.

Holding the queen's handbook, she came to the prison unimpeded, and met the Lin family and the Hua family.

What she didn't expect was that Shen Qing was also locked up here.

Shen Qing was locked alone in the outermost cell, when Qingluo passed by, he stopped her.

"Luoer, you...are you alright?"

Shen Qing was a little shocked.

He saw the dagger pierced into her heart with his own eyes. Even if he didn't die, he would be half disabled. How could he appear here alive now?
After not seeing each other for three days, Shen Qing's face was haggard and her eye sockets were sunken.

It looked worse than the injured Liu Qingluo.

Qingluo said relaxedly: "I'm fine."

"……how come?"

Qingluo took two steps closer, and said with a smile: "I'll fix the knife myself, is it true that I don't even want my life?"

Shen Qing was still shocked.

Seeing that he was being used by herself, Qingluo decided to explain it clearly to him, so that he would understand it to the death.

She bent her mouth, revealing the shallow pear dimples on her cheeks, and smiled sincerely: "I tell you, because my heart is born a little crooked, so...that knife will only make me suffer a little bit, It will definitely not kill me."
