"I have a hot spring villa in the suburbs of Beijing. What do you think, mother?"

Qin Yaoguang asked tentatively.

Her purpose was to find out whether the Empress Dowager just wanted her to leave Beijing or wanted her to go further?

To be honest, if it weren't for her status, she wouldn't want to stay in the capital at all.

Before she transmigrated into the book, she had always wanted to travel around the beautiful land of her motherland.

Watch the solitary smoke rising from the desert and enjoy the spring breeze and the green south bank of the river.

Experience the "splendid stars and the Milky Way, as if they came out of the sky" firsthand, and then "pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the southern mountains".

Unfortunately, it's just a thought.

It is just like the saying "When you have free time, you have no money; when you have money, you have no free time". There are not many times when I can travel, and in the end I have only been to a few places.

It was a long way from her dream of traveling around the world.

Now, she has money and free time, isn't this a great opportunity?

It depends on how far she can go.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and said, "I know the hot spring villa you mentioned. Okay, let's go there and bring more guards with us."

"Don't worry, mother. No matter how dissatisfied those people are, they dare not touch me."

Qin Yaoguang is confident about this.

After all, she did not touch their fundamental interests.

The ransom is painful, but it is not to the point of actually cutting off one's own flesh and blood.

When it really came to that, the Marquis Boyuan's Mansion was also thinking of other ways.

For the family who paid the ransom, the ransom is a small matter but the shame is a big matter.

However, it was Lu Yi and others who made the mistake first, trampling on the dignity of the royal princess. They should just be happy that they were not charged with "disrespect", and dare not have any other thoughts.

"No."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "I will give you a team of blue-clad guards to take with you when you leave the capital."

Qingyi Guard?

Qin Yaoguang was surprised.

Those were the trusted guards that the Empress Dowager brought with her when she married the late Emperor, carefully selected from the Cui family, and they were all women.

Each one is the best of the best and is very valuable.

Now, you want to give yourself a team?

Qin Yaoguang felt a little uneasy and said, "Mother, what do you want to do? Why don't I stay here and help you in the capital?"

The Queen Mother held her hand, her palm was warm and dry.

"Just go and take Chunning with you."

Qin Yaoguang became even more panicked.

Apart from the emperor, the empress dowager's only biological children were her two daughters.

"Don't worry about me."

The Empress Dowager smiled, and her eyes and eyebrows still showed the grace and demeanor she had when she stood side by side with the late emperor.

"This time, I will squeeze out the old abscess thoroughly."

She patted Qin Yaoguang's hand and said, "You are fine, Chunning is fine, you are helping your mother a lot."

Apart from that, no matter how much Qin Yaoguang inquired, the Empress Dowager did not reveal anything else.

Qin Yaoguang left Xining Palace, feeling quite uneasy.

When they arrived at the palace gate, there was a humble and pleasing maid beside Guyu who was waiting beside the carriage.

She was wearing a palace dress suitable for the season, not a lowly palace maid of low status. However, the jewelry on her hair was very simple, with only a jade hairpin of mixed color.

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly at her and said, "Come up."

She held Guyu's hand and got on the carriage. Guyu followed closely behind her. The maid was the last one to get on and casually lowered the curtain.

The carriage moved slowly.

The maid knelt in the middle of the carriage, placed her hands on her forehead, and bowed deeply: "I, the daughter of a guilty minister, Weng Dongqing, greet the princess."

"Get up, no need to be polite."

The carriage was narrow, so Weng Dongqing propped up his upper body with his arms and sat upright.

Qin Yaoguang looked at her carefully.

That year, after the late emperor vomited blood, his body rapidly weakened and he eventually died.

The person who treated the late emperor was the grandfather of this woman, the former director of the Imperial Medical Bureau - Weng Congrun.

After the death of the late emperor, Weng Congrun knew that he would not have a good end. In order to protect his family, he left a letter in the Imperial Hospital, saying that he would serve the late emperor underground, and then hanged himself that night.

But even so, someone had to be held responsible for the death of the late emperor, and with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the Weng family became the ready-made scapegoat.

Fortunately, Weng Congrun died peacefully, and his suicide note was circulated in the Imperial Hospital, and the contents were known to everyone. He left a reputation as a loyal servant to his master, and was given a light sentence.

The Weng family's house was raided and all the servants were sold.

The whole family was convicted and sentenced to exile.

At that time, Weng Dong was only seven years old.

Because she was too young, the Weng family used the connections they had accumulated in the Imperial Hospital to make her a palace maid.

The inner court of the palace is better than traveling thousands of miles with no certainty of life or death.

Until today.

Weng Dongqing, who was kneeling in front of Qin Yaoguang, was not wearing any makeup, but she had a unique kind of beauty.

She is the kind of classical beauty that is pleasing to the eye.

At first glance, she is not particularly outstanding. Her facial features are small and delicate, and if she were in modern times, she would be considered a light-faced actress.

The most attractive thing is the calmness between her eyebrows and eyes that shows the experience of weathering the vicissitudes of life.

That kind of quietness is so contradictory to her prime age, yet it attracts people's attention.

Being looked at like this by Qin Yaoguang, her expression did not change at all.

Qin Yaoguang retracted her gaze and asked slowly, "Does Concubine Jing have anything to say?"

She knew the key character Weng Dongqing in the plot of the book and knew that she had fallen into the palace.

After forming an alliance with Concubine Jing, Qin Yaoguang entrusted Concubine Jing with the search.

Otherwise, with her own abilities, it would not be difficult for her to find Weng Dongqing, but it would be difficult to hide from others.

Everyone in the palace is a shrewd person, and Qin Yaoguang doesn't want to alarm others, especially Queen Xie.

Concubine Jing accomplished her mission, so as an ally, she would naturally ask for compensation.

Qin Yaoguang asked this question.

"In reply to your Highness's words," Weng Dongqing said, "Her Majesty said that one day, she hopes that your Highness will protect the Jiang family."

Qin Yaoguang was slightly startled, and chuckled, "She did a good job on this deal."

Concubine Jing is indeed a smart person.

She knew that the one who could threaten her position was not Empress Xie, but the aristocratic family behind her.

It is true that she is favored by the emperor, but who says that the emperor's throne will not be replaced?

Exchange Weng Dongqing for the safety of the entire Anguo Mansion.

Prepare another path for the future.

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

The only thing Concubine Jing could be sure of was that the eldest princess was more reliable than the emperor.

Finding Weng Dongqing for Qin Yaoguang turned their originally verbal alliance into a true alliance.

Weng Dongqing looked at his nose and his heart, pretending not to hear Qin Yaoguang's words.

Qin Yaoguang just thought she was very interesting. She leaned back on the large dark blue diamond-shaped brocade pillow with a lazy posture, like a charming yet dangerous leopard.

"Miss Weng, what about you?"

She asked casually, "What do you want to do after leaving the palace?"

As the eldest princess, no one would care if she took a maid she liked from the palace.

But at this moment, Weng Dongqing was still a palace maid.

Before being sure whether this person is useful, Qin Yaoguang can take her out of the palace and send her back again.

Unlike conquering Nanny Deng and others, this time, Qin Yaoguang handed the initiative to Weng Dongqing.
