Hearing her name mentioned, he hurriedly got up from his seat and said to Empress Cao from afar: "Yu Niangniang, just now Zhaoyuan said that she was a little uncomfortable, so I asked her to go for a walk." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Empress Cao motioned for her to know and asked her to sit down. Turning his head to Liu Zhaoyuan, he said, "You went to the Imperial Garden, what did you encounter?"
The expression on his face was gentle, but a pair of eyes shot fiercely, staring at Liu Zhaoyuan tightly.
Liu Zhaoyuan lowered her head slightly, avoiding her sharp gaze, her face was calm, and said: "Yu Niangniang, the concubine took Zi Mo and walked to the rockery to meet Shi Jieyu." When she saw that there was no one around, she spoke wildly and laughed at the concubine. β
Speaking of this, she raised her head, two tears slid down her face, and she choked up: "She, she also said that the child in the concubine's womb was murdered by her own hands!"
Empress Cao was shocked, only to hear her continue to say sadly: "Niangniang! My child, before I could see it with my own eyes, was killed alive by her!"
This sentence, from the bottom of my heart, is Liu Zhaoyuan's heart, and the bleak meaning in it cannot be concealed even if it is the bustle and hustle and bustle on the stage. Hearing this, Empress Cao felt compassion in her heart.
They are all mothers, and Queen Cao also has her own sad things, but she hides it very well on weekdays.
Shanmei handed over a Supa, Liu Zhaoyuan took it, and gently printed away the tears: "Wang Niangniang forgives her sins, today's emperor's holy birthday, this is a good day, the concubine is out of shape!"
Empress Cao waved her hand and said, "I can't complain about you." β
Liu Zhaoyuan eased her emotions and continued: "She thought that there was no one around, but she didn't expect that the emperor was bringing people from the other side of the rockery. This is exactly the retribution of evil!"
In a few simple words, the intersection of fiction and reality, truth and falsehood, made the whole thing clear and clear.
Empress Cao certainly knew that the truth of the matter was by no means so simple. If Shi Xinmei is really carried away, how can she climb to the position of Jieyu? But she has a transcendent status, and she doesn't want to care about the grievances between these palace concubines.
But as the master of the harem, it is her duty to ensure that the operation of the harem is not chaotic. She had to understand the movements and thoughts of these concubines in the palace one by one.
In the past, she looked at it coldly, this Liu Zhaoyuan was a little pure. But since the abortion in the old year, the courtyard of Yijing Palace has been cold, and she has not come out. Since the year later, he has returned to the sight of the palace, and his actions are a little invisible.
At this time, he called Liu Zhaoyuan over, in order to beat her and let her not exceed the bottom line.
Hearing her say this, it was not much different from what the little palace maid who had spoken back and forth before, so she nodded and said, "The heavens are clear, and the retribution is not happy." That being the case, you should be at ease!"
Liu Zhaoyuan nodded silently and said softly: "Niangniang, the concubine has a request." β
"Let's take a look. Empress Cao took a sip of tea and looked at her.
The concubine thought, now that the truth is revealed, the child is also the blood of the royal family, and the spirit of the sky should also rest in peace. I want to do a reincarnation ritual for him, comfort him, and let him reincarnate with peace of mind!" Liu Zhaoyuan slowly said what he thought in his heart.
Queen Cao groaned slightly, it is said that Liu Zhaoyuan was less than two months old when she was born, and the child had not yet taken shape. This is not done according to the old practice.
But Liu Zhaoyuan's incident is more special, after all, he was poisoned by Shi Xinmei, and now he has successfully made the real murderer confess. After quickly going through this matter in her heart, Shanmei saw that she was a little hesitant, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "After Shi Xinmei was convicted, when the emperor left, he told Liu Zhaoyuan to go to Yijing Palace tonight to speak. β
Queen Cao's heart moved, yes, in this palace, it has always been either the east wind that overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Now that Shi Xinmei has been ambushed, this Liu Zhaoyuan has regained the emperor's favor, and after this experience, she also has some means and scheming. It's a trivial matter, so it's better to let her go back.
It's not that she, the master of the harem, is afraid of her, but why bother to untie a knot at this moment?
Putting down the teacup, Empress Cao said in a deep voice: "It is said that there is no such case. β
After a pause, seeing Liu Zhaoyuan nervously waiting for the next step, he said: "But as a mother, this palace also has a lot of pity for this child." For this Dharma, you will go to Zhang Luo for one or two. It's just that it is not suitable for the Royal Temple, so I go to the 'Great Compassion Temple', which is also where Buddhism is prosperous. β
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoyuan left the spring stool, Ying Ying gave a deep salute, and said: "Niangniang's kindness, Su Ying is unforgettable in this life!"
Empress Cao motioned for Shanmei to pick her up, and said with a smile: "Don't do this." If I'm not mistaken, you're from Jiangnan. I am not familiar with the 'Great Compassion Temple'. β
Turning his head, he instructed Miaofu, who had been standing quietly on the side: "Miaofu, these days, you will go to Yijing Palace to help." Come back when this service is over. β
Liu Zhaoyuan's back was cold, this Empress Cao's machine became so fast! She had just proposed the procedure, and she understood the truth, and she also inserted an ear and eye to her side, this reason is so above board.
Compared with her kind of conspiracy, these selfish methods of herself and Shi Xinmei are simply small skills that cannot be seen on the table.
She bowed down deeply and said respectfully from the bottom of her heart: "There is Lao Niangniang's trouble! The concubine has thanked Niangniang for her great kindness!"
Empress Cao smiled: "When the Dharma is over, you can clean up your mood." The past is gone, you have to serve the emperor well in the future, don't think nonsense!"
This is to warn her that during the ceremony, Miao Fu will keep an eye on her every move, and don't try to use it as a demon. Wait for this matter, don't make any more trouble, An An will do Zhaoyuan's responsibilities.
Give a sweet date and add a mallet.
This move, Queen Cao made it perfect. A woman like Liu Zhaoyuan, who has only been in the palace for a few years, is beyond her reach even if she has experienced a catastrophe.
Seeing that the words were almost beaten, the expression on Liu Zhaoyuan's face became more and more respectful, and Empress Cao was satisfied, and asked casually: "Your personal palace maid, where is Zimo?"
When the concubine came out of the imperial garden, she saw that it was getting a little windy, so she hurried back to get a cloak for the concubine. Listening to her inquiry, Liu Zhaoyuan's heart tightened, and Queen Cao really noticed that Zi Mo was not there, but fortunately she was prepared.
Zi Mo had just arrived in a hurry from Yijing Palace at this time, holding the burden of the cloak, and stood silently in the corner panting quietly.
Hearing Empress Cao's inquiry, she was busy breathing heavily, trying to make her breath as steady as possible, so that no one could see that she was coming all the way.
Only then did he step forward slowly, squatted down and replied, "Please forgive the queen, Zhaoyuan is too weak to be able to do it." When I went out in the morning, it was the maid who was negligent and forgot to put on her cloak. β
Empress Cao glanced at the burden on her knees, no matter what secrets this Liu Zhaoyuan had, she didn't want outsiders to know. At least this superficial effort is done very well.
I didn't want to pursue it at the moment, so I said: "Since you are guilty, I will punish you for a month, and you will serve your mother well in the future." Being able to pass the test so easily, Zi Mo hurriedly responded.
After Liu Zhaoyuan's matter was disposed of, Empress Cao seemed to have just remembered and asked: "By the way, what happened to Shi Jieyu now? Although she is guilty, it is the emperor's blood and bones that are conceived in her womb. β
