Chapter 178: Stone Out
Since Saiyu knew the news of Qi Yun's entry into the palace, she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Wang and Qi Jiao were selling in the gourd this time, she didn't believe that it was to get a good family affair for Qi Yun. If it was really for Qi Yun's good, he shouldn't have sent Qi Yun into the palace at all. Li Yi saw Saitama thinking about it like this, and he regretted how he could give such news to Saitama.
"It's useless for you to ponder these things now, for we are so far away from them that the water from the well does not interfere with the water of the river, and nothing will hurt you. ”
"I know, but I just can't put my mind at ease. Although the fourth sister is not the same mother as me, and she also helped my stepmother harm me, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I think of her cowardly temperament and being sent to the palace at such a young age. The key is that someone doesn't know how to get in. ”
"Everyone has their own fate, when she hurt you, did you think for you, if you fell into someone else's way at that time, what would happen now? She can not help you, but she can't hurt others, so it's all self-inflicted. ”
"Maybe you're right. Saitama shook his head and sighed, Li Yi didn't want to see Saitama like this, so he called the maid to pass the meal. When the two came outside, the maids had already set the meal, and Autumn Frost saw Saitama come out and said:
"Young grandma, there is a chicken soup with red dates and bamboo shreds today, you can try it. Last time, before the eldest lady left the cabinet, I invited a few young ladies to eat this dish, and you were full of praise at that time. Later, I didn't have a chance to eat it again. Saitama nodded and said to Li Yi:
"Let's try it, I don't know how, it was that meal that made me reconcile with my eldest sister. ”
"You've had a feud with your big sister? Don't you look good now? Li Yi was a little puzzled, he didn't know about the matter between Saitama and the Chu family.
When Saitama saw that the maids had all gone down, he said to Li Yi:
"This is a long story, in fact, the eldest sister is now married to the Chu family, which was originally a family affair that my grandmother entrusted to me, but who knew that the Chu family suddenly changed his mind and asked to marry my eldest sister. ”
"It must have been when I saw that your eldest uncle was promoted to the rank of official and the secretary of the ministry before he changed his hexagram. ”
"Probably. However, it seems that after Concubine Chen summoned her eldest sister, the Chu family came to the door to get married. At that time, my grandmother was angry. But the eldest aunt and eldest uncle still agreed to the Chu family. Later, my eldest sister ignored me, and the other sisters laughed at me about it. Saitama's eyes darkened. Li Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his hand and touched Saitama's hair and said:
"It's all gone, don't take it personally. I think I owe them a debt of gratitude. Saitama was puzzled. looked at Li Yi.
"If it weren't for their lack of eyes, how could you marry so well. Li Yi said seriously. Saitama laughed when she heard this, shaved her face with her hands, and laughed at Li Yi for not being ashamed.
"Later, why did your eldest sister reconcile with you again?" asked Li Yi.
"Xu is a sister. It's not good to make enemies for something like this. That day, the eldest sister called the sisters together and had a meal. Saitama suddenly stopped when she said this, and her face became extremely ugly, which startled Li Yi.
"Yu'er, what's wrong?"
"I see, it must be so. Saitama's face was solemn, and her mouth kept chattering.
"What, what is it?" Li Yi was a little anxious. Saitama suddenly grabbed Li Yi's hand,
"I know when my aunt was drugged. ”
"When. ”
"That day, when the four of us sisters gathered, my aunt must have given me the medicine that day. I was weird last time. Ever since I learned that my stepmother had drugged me, I've been very careful not to eat in other people's houses, not even tea. But that day, the eldest sister was gracious, and I didn't think about it so much. ”
"Anyway, now that we know that you are not poisoned, and we have our own children, what do you want to do with these unpleasant things?" Li Yi said as he patted Saitama on the shoulder.
"The target of that drug was me, but I'm fine now, and my stepmother can't fake the medicine for my aunt. That means someone must have been poisoned. And this person is likely to be the third sister, since the third sister cannot be pregnant, then the stepmother's purpose of letting the fourth sister enter the palace is also obvious. really didn't expect that in the end, she ruined the happiness of her own daughter. Saitama smiled wryly at this. I don't know whether to gloat or sympathize with Qi Jiao.
Li Yi listened to Saitama's words, and immediately felt a headache, although he had some understanding of the struggle in the back house, but this situation was still beyond his expectations, how his Yu'er struggled to survive in such an environment. Thinking of this, he hugged Saitama into his arms. His chin rested on the top of Saitama's head,
"Yu'er, you have suffered, I didn't even know that you had been living so hard! I won't let you suffer again in the future. ”
Saitama listened to Li Yi's emotional words, and was also a little moved, and finally someone took her to heart, bear her pain, and share her joy.
At this moment, there is also a person in the palace who is in a very bad mood, and that is the queen. Zhao Concubine, who was bent on suppressing everywhere, actually used her sister to seek a high position, and turned into Concubine Zhao, and it is difficult to be a Zhao Guifei or a queen in the next step.
At first, she was focused on Qi Jiao, and she was born from Qi Jiao. Although his father's official position is not high, his grandfather is a well-known scholar of the king, not to mention that the queen also knows that the scholar is the emperor on the surface, but in fact, he has already secretly taken refuge in the prince. So the beautiful Qi Jiao made her particularly scruples, because she was the one who would really threaten her.
But what she never expected was that everything was going according to the direction she planned, and the prince at that time didn't remember Qi Jiao at all, who knew that the coincidence made Qi Jiao win the favor of the prince.
When he tried his best to use witchcraft to clean up Qi Jiao, a little girl who didn't know whether to live or die suddenly appeared, ruining his good deeds.
When the concubines were divided, under their own strong obstruction, Qi Jiao was only sealed as a concubine, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she became Concubine Zhao again, and she also got her sister into the palace. Wanting their Zhang family to dominate the harem is a dream!
When the queen was angry, Concubine Jing and Concubine Jin came to visit. These two people are from average backgrounds, and since they entered the Prince's Mansion, they have been looking at the head of the crown princess, who is now the queen's mother. They are here today because of Concubine Zhao's matter, which made them feel the crisis, whether Niangniang's big tree is still so strong, they are also a little unsure.
"Meet the Queen. The two concubines saluted together.
"Excuse me, why do you think about it and look at me today. "The queen mother knows that these two people also have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
"Niangniang heard that the emperor made Concubine Zhao a concubine. Concubine Jing couldn't help but open her mouth first.
"That's what the emperor likes, how can we put our beaks?" the queen's tone was flat, and she didn't seem to be interested at all.
"Niangniang is the master of the harem, and the emperor should discuss it with Niangniang. Concubine Jin looked at the queen's appearance, and she was also a little anxious.
"The emperor's decree has been issued, what else can we do? What can we compare with others? beauty, or background?" said the queen mockingly.
"Niangniang is the main palace, where do you need to compare with her? It is also Niangniang's magnanimity that can make her so arrogant, she can go out of the palace to pray for the emperor's blessing when she has something, and let her family accompany her, but she didn't expect to send her own sister to the dragon bed, it's really not ashamed!" Concubine Jing said indignantly.
"Yes, I heard that she took the opportunity to pray for the emperor's blessing at that time, and also met her mother's family privately. ”
"Is there such a thing?" asked the Queen.
When Concubine Jin saw that the queen was interested, she was very happy and said:
"Xiao Shunzi in my palace and Xiao Liangzi in Concubine Zhao's palace are fellow villagers, I heard that that day Xiao Shunzi saw Concubine Zhao abandon all the palace maids who served and saw her mother, maybe it was a plan to let her sister enter the palace. This Zhang family also said that it was a scholarly family, but it turned out to be a fictitious family, but it was just through their daughter to ascend to the throne. Concubine Jin said at once that the queen's heart went to the queen's heart, the queen's maiden family has not been reused by the emperor, and the queen often uses this to flaunt her high style and bright festival.
Although this matter violates the palace rules, it must have been allowed by the emperor, otherwise she would not dare to be so bold. The queen returned to a flat tone, she was forcing Concubine Jing and Concubine Jin to come up with more powerful tricks.
Sure enough, Concubine Jing and Concubine Jin glanced at each other, and both knelt in front of the queen.
"What is this for?" the queen was puzzled.
"Niangniang, the stakes are very high, the two concubines dare not hide Niangniang, but they also ask Niangniang to forgive their sins. When the queen saw that they were serious, she gave a look to the people below, and the people below quietly withdrew from the hall.
"Tell me, what is the matter?" the queen looked at the two concubines kneeling below, and did not call them up.
"That's right, Niangniang knows the first emperor's lotus concubine. Concubine Jing said.
"Well, the first emperor only let Concubine Lian accompany him in the end, everyone knows this. Now Concubine Lian didn't do anything to be a quiet person and pray for the first emperor. ”
"But Niangniang, there are rumors in the palace that the emperor often goes to the courtyard where Jing Zhenren is located late at night. Concubine Jin said in a low voice.
"What, where did it come from?" the queen was startled.
"It is impossible to find out where the source of the news is. It is said that someone has seen it with their own eyes, and it is said that there is a sound of feasting at night in the annex, and it is said that there is a nose and an eye. Concubine Jing added.
"It seems that I am a little overwhelmed, and I don't even know such rumors. ”
"The lord of the six palaces of Niangniang, where would there be such gossip. ”
"But the air may not come to the wind. The queen remembered that some time before the death of the first emperor, the crown prince always used the excuse to stay in the palace, and now it seems that the two of them may have been inappropriate at that time, although this is not a good thing, but it may be a good opportunity to bring down Concubine Zhao. The sneer and resentful eyes on the queen's face made Concubine Jing and Concubine Jin shudder. (To be continued.) )
PS: It's finally done!
