Concubine Li seemed to be woken up by a blow to the head, what was she doing, in order to compete with the Queen Mother for a while, she completely forgot her purpose of dormant for more than ten years.

She is in the deep palace, it doesn't matter how many people's hands are broken, as long as there is money, as long as there is a way, there will always be someone to use it.

But the people in the court, half of her life's hard work, originally for her sons to compete for the crown of the manpower, these years have not been put down at all, and they are still enveloped by grace and power.

These people, losing one, is now she can no longer find another of the same weight.

And she actually exposed these people in front of people in order to control her anger, Concubine Li couldn't help but tremble, if Her Majesty was aware of it, and then found out her purpose, then she, her sons and grandsons, and her mother's family would all die together.

"Don't use Ginger-sama. Concubine Li said decisively, "Send the word out, let them stop arguing for me, and after I confess my guilt, I will write to Your Majesty, saying that the evidence was unknown before, and the Queen Mother had an example of forcing Concubine Shu to death in front of her, and they protected me so much, not to protect the concubine, but to protect the last emperor's life." ”

"Niangniang?" The palace maid was puzzled, did Niangniang actually want to confess?

"I hope Your Majesty will believe this. Concubine Li said, "Concubine Shu has a daughter, and now she is married to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and when she learns the cause of Concubine Shu's death, she has to make a fuss." ”

"Even if I confess my guilt, the Queen Mother will not have time to target me. ”

"I will invite myself to go to the first emperor to reflect on myself. Concubine Li said, "Anyway, with the last emperor's will, I can always keep my life alive." ”

". The palace maid said worriedly, "The imperial tomb is miserable and simple, how can the mother's body stand it." ”

"This is the best remedy. It was only at this time that Concubine Li fully understood how dangerous her reckless actions had put her, "If Your Majesty is already suspicious, then you can only poke out the news and let Your Majesty take care of himself." That is the hole card she pressed in her hand, originally thinking that this trick was to be used to completely centrifuge His Majesty and the courtiers, but now the time is not right, but in order to protect himself, it is also impossible.

Concubine Li said that she would do it, took off the hairpin ring, wore only a simple dress, and walked to the outside of the Zhenyuan Hall to ask for the guilt, "It is the sinner woman who is narrow-minded, the crime is extremely evil, poisoning the Queen Mother, please punish the Queen Mother." ”

She shouted three times in a row, and then threw herself on the ground and did not look up again.

The palace people hurriedly went in and told the Queen Mother, who was shocked, "What kind of moth is she going to make?"

"Quick, first invite the Imperial Doctor to put it here. The Queen Mother thought of a possibility and said, "She deserves to die, but if she uses death to frame the mourning family, she also wants to disgust the mourning family." ”

The imperial physician also came, and the maid said, "Look, slave maid, Litai, the sinner seems to have really come to ask for sin." ”

"The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, since she took the initiative to admit her mistake, then ask Your Majesty to come over and let Your Majesty make a decision. The Queen Mother said, "Lest everyone say that the mourning family can't tolerate him, and they want to hurt the tip of her heart as the first emperor." ”

Sent people to Tianqing Palace, and someone from Tianqing Palace said that His Majesty was not easy to move, and asked the Queen Mother and the concubine to move to Tianqing Palace to talk.

The Queen Mother sat on the chariot, and saw that Concubine Li was walking behind step by step, no different from the palace maid, no, the rickety body was worse than the palace maid.

I just feel happy in my heart.

Qi Zongwen propped up on the edge of the desk in advance, and waited for the Queen Mother to come in and bow her head before she unloaded her strength and sat down, Concubine Li came in and knelt silently in the middle.

He vaguely doubted that the person who still had the ability to turn the clouds and rain upwards was like this?

"Concubine Li, do you know that you are wrong?" Qi Zongwen asked.

"The sinner knows her wrongs. Concubine Li bowed her head and said.

"What is wrong with you?" Qi Zongwen asked.

"The eldest grandmother beside the Queen Mother had an old relationship with me in the early years, I held a grudge against the Queen Mother, accumulated over time, and finally couldn't help it when the Queen Mother called me to sneer again, relying on the old love, let the eldest grandmother drug me to make the Queen Mother sick for a while. Concubine Li said eloquently, "But I didn't want the Queen Mother to die, I just wanted the Queen Mother to linger on the sickbed and no longer trouble me." ”

"When the first emperor was there, he always said that I was a two-sided light on the shelf, but in fact, I was a straw bag in my heart. Concubine Li cried. "I was wrong, I shouldn't have drugged the Queen Mother. ”

"Your Majesty, please punish you. ”

"I just ask Your Majesty for mercy and punish me alone, the palace maids around me and the family members outside the palace are all innocent, don't implicate them. ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "What you say now is pitiful, when it was found on your head, why didn't you recognize it?

"If the mourning family wants to frame you, do you have to wait until today?"

"I directly asked you to go to the funeral of the first emperor. ”

"I know that the Queen Mother is magnanimous, I am a small-bellied chicken intestine, regardless of the Queen Mother's kindness, and I will take revenge. Concubine Li said, "At that time, I was just too scared, afraid that I would bite others." ”

"Now that things are getting bigger and bigger, I regret not being at the beginning, and I dare to come to ask for guilt after thinking about it. ”

"I know that what I do so far will not make the Queen Mother angry, only this life will be lost to the Queen Mother. ”

Concubine Li kowtowed to her head, then got up and hit the pillar, this time she was so ruthless that she was bleeding and unconscious.

"Someone, go and call the doctor. Qi Zongwen shouted.

When the palace maid put the concubine flat behind the screen, and waited for the imperial doctor, Qi Zongwen said to the queen mother, "Since Concubine Li has been guilty, she should be punished." ”

"Although the queen mother has been wronged this time, she must leave a will from her father, and she must be allowed to live and die. ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and did not reply.

"If Concubine Li hits the pillar this time, if she dies, even if I explain to my father in the future, I can say that this is Concubine Li's own choice, but if she does not die, the queen mother will treat her as having escaped a death catastrophe and allow her to live to resist the death penalty. Qi Zongwen said.

"Living crime?" said the queen mother, "are all the widows of the first emperor, the mourning family does not want to kill them all, she came to murder the mourning family, and poured dirty water on the head of the mourning family, these days, no one in the mourning family has a sigh, and the chest hurts when she thinks of it, but it is a pity that Your Majesty, the courtiers, only remember that she is the tip of the heart of the first emperor, and she is the person who will protect her life?"

"But what about the mourners?"

"The mourning family is also the queen who is married to the Ming media, and the mourning family has been wronged for a lifetime in the position of the wife, and now that it is the grandmother's generation, it is still subject to the clamping of her concubine, how can the mourning family be served?"

Qi Zongwen took a step back and said, "Then how does the queen mother think she should be punished?"

"As long as I can keep her from dying, I will allow it. ”

"First, the people of the Jin family must be expelled from the capital, at least until the mourning family dies, and they cannot return to Beijing. ”

"Yes. ”

"Second, deprive Concubine Li of her title and degrade her to a concubine. ”

Qi Zongwen hesitated, "After all, Concubine Li is a person who serves her father, and now there is also the king of Huaiping County outside the palace, if she is degraded to a concubine, it is true."

It's too ugly, it's the royal face that is damaged. ”

"It's better to take away the title and be demoted to too noble. Qi Zongwen said, "It's no different from the Shuren." ”

"Third, the mourning family wants her not to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death. The Queen Mother said, she looked at Qi Zongwen, "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to veto the mourning family, the mourning family knows that the first emperor has a will, and in the future, when the noble person dies, he will be buried together, but the mourning family really doesn't want her to disgust the mourning family after death." ”

"What's more, the status of too noble people is too low, if they can accompany the emperor's tomb, it is not in accordance with the rules. The Queen Mother said, "If Your Majesty feels that it is not good to explain to the first emperor, then when the time comes, you will be buried with too noble clothes, and the mourning family will be able to recognize it by pinching their noses." ”

Qi Zongwen thought for a long time.

The Queen Mother said unhappily, "Your Majesty said first that as long as her life is saved, any punishment will be left to the mourning family, but now you have to regret it?"

"Then the mourners don't have to think about Your Majesty's difficulties. ”

"The rest of the punishments are null and void, and the mourning family only needs her to die. ”

"The queen doesn't need to be like that. Qi Zongwen said, "I have allowed you to be." ”

"After all, it's too expensive, and it's true that the rank is lower. ”

Before his father's death, he did say that he wanted Concubine Li to be buried together, but at this time, there was no Concubine Li, and the noble Jin Li was naturally not qualified to be buried with the first emperor.

"The rest of her must find a place to confinish herself, and follow Your Majesty's wishes, just stay away from the mourning family, lest the mourning family feel bad when they think of her. The Queen Mother said, "It's self-examination, the conditions are not too good, just starve or freeze to death, don't be like her two waste sons, who were confined and served with wine and meat, and sent women to give birth to them, are they going to be punished or to enjoy?"
