Chapter 253 He used to love me!
As expected, Liu Qingyun was still able to continue to perform on stage.
Yu Jiuer took advantage of the opportunity to get close to Jun Mo and asked, "Prince, have you and Liu Qingyun known each other for a long time?"
"We had dealings in the early years!" Jun Mo did not hide it.
Yu Jiuer asked: "What kind of relationship? He has deep inner strength and is very hidden. Do you know that?"
Jun Mo nodded: "I know! I have known him for more than ten years, and he has even pestered me before!"
"What?" Yu Jiuer was shocked. Was it the kind of entanglement she thought it was?
Jun Mo nodded: "Yes, he used to love me!"
Yu Jiuer felt confused. She knew that Liu Qingyun was a sissy and might be a homosexual, but she never thought that he would actually like her man?
Is she inviting a wolf into the house?
Yu Jiuer opened her eyes wide and said with a smile: "That guy covets my man, and I am still on good terms with him?"
"Don't worry! I'm safe with you! I've beaten him before, but he has changed his ways and dares not covet me anymore." When Jun Mo heard Yu Jiuer call him "my man", his heart was throbbing, and the corners of his lips were raised and he couldn't suppress it.
Yu Jiuer looked suspicious and asked, "What did you two do together today? Don't think I didn't see you fighting at the door? Why was he injured?"
Jun Mo simply said: "I just happened to meet him at the door, and I didn't do anything with him! As for why he was injured, I don't know!"
Jun Mo spoke very seriously and Yu Jiuer suddenly wanted to laugh.
Then he asked curiously, "Who is he? How can an actor have such deep inner strength?"
Jun Mo held Yu Jiuer's hand and said, "He saved my life before, and I promised him not to tell anyone about his private affairs. Let him tell you himself!"
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me! I don't have to know it. As long as he doesn't steal my man and has no ill will towards me, I will continue to be his friend!" Yu Jiuer was no longer hesitant.
Jun Mo said: "I have known him since childhood and I know him well. Apart from being effeminate and annoying, he is fine in other aspects!"
Since Jun Mo said so, she would not hold on to it.
At this time, thunderous applause rang out. Liu Qingyun on the stage interpreted Mulan so sincerely that people could not help but be moved.
Yu Jiuer felt that Liu Qingyun was good enough, and she was too lazy to dig deeper into other things.
Who doesn't have privacy?
The performance went on. Fortunately, Jun Mo had people prepare and promote it in advance as it was new, and the response was very good.
On the eighth day, the number of signatures on the petition: 10,450.
"We have finally exceeded 88,000! At this rate, tomorrow, the ninth day, we will definitely exceed 100,000. The day after tomorrow morning, we will be able to return home smoothly and report our achievements to the Emperor!"
Yu Jiuer held the petition in her hands and dreamed confidently.
Can......
God slapped her mercilessly again.
On the ninth day, until the evening, the number of signatures had not exceeded 10,000. Yu Jiuer was getting anxious and angry. She couldn't help but yell at the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture: "Kaifeng Prefecture is so big, is there no more room for people?"
Shang Buhui advised, "Jiu'er, we have all tried our best, don't force it! Didn't you see Lord Kaifu bring his one-year-old daughter over and hold her little hand to sign her name? If you push him any further, he might even want to turn into a woman to sign!"
The prefect of Kaifeng nodded with a wry smile.
As a result, on the ninth day, the number of people who signed the petition was 5,530.
There are still more than 6,000 people short of 100,000!
Shang Buhui sighed and said, "Tomorrow is the last day. You must present the petition to the emperor before the palace gates are locked and then leave the palace. You must return to the capital before noon. Therefore, you can only perform in Kaifeng Mansion for two hours at most tomorrow. Do you want to continue the performance?"
"The stage is ready anyway, let's put on another show and see how many people can come at the last minute!" Yu Jiuer found that she was so nervous that her voice was trembling.
I can't help but be nervous!
After working so hard for so many days, she was only 6,420 away from success, but she couldn't even get this few people. How embarrassed was she?
On the morning of the tenth day, Jun Mo took leave directly and did not return to the capital first, but stayed with Yu Jiuer.
Yu Jiuer knew that he was also nervous, fearing that the result would not be satisfactory.
During the performance, Yu Jiuer couldn't sit still. She rode her horse outside looking for her target. The shadow guards beside her were ready to rush forward when they saw a woman.
This made the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture very nervous. He stood on the most prosperous street in Kaifeng Prefecture like a brothel madam, personally soliciting women.
When you see a woman reaching out her hand, just stop her, no matter what, just catch her first.
The common people who didn't understand the situation thought that the prefect, who was once deeply loved by them, was possessed by an evil spirit and was raping women.
Fortunately, the prefect's wife was there, constantly explaining things to the people, thus preserving the reputation of this upright and honest man.
On this day, Kaifeng Prefecture was destined to have no peace.
Everyone was in a state of panic, but as it was approaching noon, Shang Buhui still had to say to Yu Jiuer tremblingly: "Jiuer, we are still short of 3,000 people. What should we do?"
Yu Jiuer turned her horse's head and shouted, "Return to Beijing!"
Kaifeng Prefecture has been cleaned out, but the people in the capital are more conscious, so she plans to place her last hope in the capital.
At this time, Jun Mo, who shared the same idea, had already put the petition on his back and rode to Yu Jiuer's side: "Let's take the petition back and wait in the square! I have already asked my colleagues to help bring some heads to the square, just in case."
"Your Highness is really thoughtful!" Yu Jiuer squeezed the horse's belly, "Let's go!"
The journey usually takes half a day by carriage, but these two men returned in just over an hour.
Fortunately, God had mercy on us and the rain stopped halfway!
They rode all the way to the square and indeed saw about a hundred women waiting there.
After signing their names, they also anxiously asked Yu Jiuer: "Madam Concubine, how many more people are needed?"
Yu Jiuer took a look and said sadly, "We are still short of 2,880 people!"
One of Jun Mo's colleagues advised him: "Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, why not ask the Emperor for help..."
Yu Jiuer immediately raised her hand: "No, we can't ask the emperor for help. There are still two hours before the palace gates are locked. We may still have a chance. Let's wait a little longer!"
Jun Mo nodded, sat on the chair and clenched his fists: "Yes, wait a little longer!"
He had already made up his mind that if all else failed, he would take the risk of deceiving the emperor and sign a false signature.
After waiting for a while, just when Yu Jiuer was feeling discouraged, the eldest princess came over here with a group of women. Yu Jiuer stretched her head and roughly counted them.
My heart was filled with excitement. There might be thousands of people here. That’s great!
Yu Jiuer was so excited that she wanted to rush over and hug her to express her gratitude!
The princess said proudly, "You're welcome! I'm not here to help you, but for my daughter and granddaughter!"
Her Qingyang and Qingrou were both in Yinshan County. If they were demoted to slavery, her Qingyang would marry a Yinshan person and would definitely suffer, and Qingrou would not have an easy life either.
Poor granddaughter, she was not even one year old yet and had to be demoted to a slave. How could she bear it?
After everyone signed, the princess immediately asked, "How many more are left?"
"More than one thousand six hundred!" Yu Jiuer wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked at the sky and saw that there was only one hour left.
She was so anxious that her legs went limp and she fell onto the stool, crying uncontrollably, "Is God really going to destroy my Yinshan Mountain?"
In desperation, Wei Zheng supported his mother and came slowly with a long line of women: "If I wasn't afraid that my son would marry a woman whose family was a slave, I wouldn't have come! My sisters want to see you, so we followed you! Where do you want to sign?"
"Here, sign here..." Yu Tao hurried forward. She did not go to Kaifeng Prefecture. Knowing that Yu Jiuer had returned on horseback first, she put down her business and hurried to the square, waiting nervously here with Yu Jiuer.
Madam Wei glanced at Yu Tao, her eyes inadvertently caught sight of her slightly bulging belly, and a flash of surprise flashed through her eyes, but she still said with a stern face: "When can you find time to go back to the mansion with Wei Zheng? The old lady has been talking about it."
"Yes!" Yutao bowed, her eyes a little moist.
Wei Zheng smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close. He hurriedly held Mrs. Wei's hand and stepped forward: "Mom, please sign this way!"
After the people brought by Madam Wei finished signing, Yu Jiuer counted silently, and said in a trembling voice: "There are still 980 to go!"
