Chapter Eighty-Four: The Fall of Emperor 3
In the bated breath of the full hall, I saw Liang Ruming lying on the dragon bed looking at Leng Qing seriously and intently, and every word he said was clear and powerful: "Until your appearance, I saw a glimmer of hope......
Hearing Liang Ruming's words, Leng Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon's bed, couldn't help but be stunned, and only after a while did he wonder: "The emperor thinks ...... The concubine was the ...... of the Holy Warrior Empress Reincarnation? β
However, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, slowly shook his head and said, "No...... I never thought you were the reincarnation of Morning Light. β
After a pause in his voice, he saw that Liang Ruming's somewhat cloudy eyes showed a faint color of reminiscing about the past, and his voice was gentle and gentle: "The morning light is always as warm and gentle as the morning sun, without the sharp air on your body, and you are not as casual as you."
Whatever Chenguang does, she always puts my interests first, and never cares about her own gains and losses. Even if it would hurt her own interests, as long as it was good for me, Chenguang would do it...... And when I listened to that master, I was just ...... I just want to give myself a desire to live......"
Facing Liang Ruming's words that seemed to reminisce about the past, Leng Qing really didn't know how to answer, and finally after pondering, Leng Qing felt that it was better for her to follow Liang Ruming according to what Liang Shenghao said just now...... Besides, in the face of an old man who is declining, why should she bother to block the other party again?
So, I could hear Leng Qingru, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon's bed, whispering: "The emperor and the Empress Shengwuxian have a deep relationship, even if the Empress Shengwuxian is gone, the emperor is still affectionate, if the Shengwuxian Empress knows about it, she will definitely be very pleased." β
Clinker, hearing Leng Qing's words, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, was not very satisfied and scolded lightly: "Don't say these flattering words...... What I value most is the sharp aura in you, as well as your casual and unrestrained attitude towards things. If you learn to flatter me like others, you will belittle yourself. β
"So, you don't have to do what others do, you just have to be yourself." Although Liang Ruming's voice was low and weak, it was so sonorous and powerful, and it went straight to the hearts of the people.
Leng Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon bed, heard this, pursed her lips and smiled at Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, and responded respectfully and sincerely: "Yes, the concubine remember." β
And at that time, I don't know what Liang Ruming thought, he sighed faintly, and then said in a quiet tone: "Leng Xin, do you know that the day I first met you...... Just know ...... You're not the same as the woman next to you...... You should have had a better life, you shouldn't have stepped into the walls of this palace, it was for my own selfishness that forced you to stay in the palace...... It's my fault, it's my fault that I can't stand you. Now I regret it, I hope you don't hate me......"
In these words, Liang Ruming's words were sincere and serious, and he was completely looking like he was sincerely trying to ask for Leng Qing's understanding......
But Leng Qing couldn't tell whether Liang Ruming's words were really apologizing to her, and hoped that she wouldn't resent Liang Ruming's threats to her in order to force her into the palace, or ...... It's just for others......
But Leng Qing can be sure of one thing, Liang Ruming said such a thing at this time, more, I am afraid that I still want to pave the way for her to leave in the future......
Sure enough!
Leng Qing had this idea in her heart, and she heard Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, as if she was annocating, raised her originally weak voice several times and raised her voice: "After I go, Leng Zhaoyi is willing to stay in this Liang Xiaocheng, so I will stay." If she is not willing to stay, she can go out of the palace on her own...... No one is allowed to stop Leng Zhaoyi from going or staying! β
Liang Ruming had just finished speaking, and Leng Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon bed, had not yet reacted, and Gu Linyu, who had been standing silently, retorted with a slight smile: "The emperor is afraid that he was confused by those officials before?" Since ancient times, this woman who has entered the palace as a concubine and concubine, where can she leave the palace on her own? β
Gu Linyu had just finished speaking, and the aftermath of the words had not yet dissipated, and Ye Xinyu, who was standing a few steps behind Gu Linyu, couldn't wait to echo the words: "What the queen mother said is very true. Your Majesty, although this Leng Zhaoyi's position is low, she is only a concubine, but since she has entered the palace, no matter how high or low her position is, she is the emperor's concubine...... How can this be a reason for the concubine to leave the palace on her own since ancient times? What you say is not in line with etiquette and law! β
Shi Ping, who was standing beside Ye Xinyu, also echoed: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral etiquette, if the emperor dies, if the concubine has a son, she can go to the fiefdom with her son; If there is a woman, she stays in the palace as a concubine; Those who have no children and no women are either martyred for the first emperor, or sent to the temple to settle down and become home, often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern...... No matter which one of these is, there is no saying that the concubine left the palace on her own......"
"Your Majesty, the concubines also feel that what the queen mother and the two sisters said is reasonable, and please think twice about it!" This is Feng Lan's somewhat timid echo voice.
To say that this woman in Liang Xiao City dares to blatantly oppose Gu Linyu, who is the honor of the queen...... If the imperial concubine Xiao Ting is ranked second, no one dares to rank first!
I saw that after Gu Linyu, Ye Xinyu, Shi Ping and Feng Lanxin finished expressing their opinions one after another, Xiao Ting, who was originally standing relatively far behind, suddenly moved lightly and took two steps in the direction of the dragon bed without hurrying.
While walking, Xiao Ting's rings collided and made a crisp and pleasant sound, which attracted the attention of everyone in the hall to her without moving.
Standing still, Xiao Ting looked at Gu Linyu, Ye Xinyu, Shi Ping and Feng Lanxin with a smile on her lips, and her red lips opened lightly: "Didn't the queen's sister and the three sisters hear the emperor's last words?" The emperor said that no one was allowed to stop Leng Zhaoyi from going and staying. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the queen's sister and the three sisters couldn't wait to refute, didn't the queen's sister and the three sisters mean that they didn't put the emperor in their eyes? β
Xiao Ting's voice was soft and soft, and her tone was so casual that she seemed to be saying that the weather was really good today. However, no one dared to ignore the aggressive metaphor in Xiao Ting's words......
In the face of Xiao Ting's rebuttal, Gu Linyu was neither angry nor angry, and answered indifferently: "The imperial concubine is serious. The main palace is only in accordance with the ritual laws of the past dynasties, and there is no contempt for the holy hearing. β
As soon as Gu Linyu finished speaking, she saw He Zhu'er, who was standing behind Xiao Ting, lifted her eyelids, looked at Gu Linyu with a bdifferent face, and said in a calm voice: "Since the queen mother talked about the etiquette of the past dynasties...... The concubine suddenly remembered that in the previous dynasty, Zhaoyi was a concubine, and she could be either a concubine or a third-grade female official in the previous dynasty. It's just that this law was revised in this dynasty. β
At this point, He Zhu'er, who was pale when she met Gu Linyu, looked at Liang Ruming who was lying on the dragon bed with a serious expression, and asked in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, please ask Concubine Rong to dare to ask, has the emperor ever touched Leng Zhaoyi?" β
The six palaces are like the previous dynasty, and the conspiracy and calculations of the previous dynasty are not bad in the six palaces. The officials of the previous dynasty colluded with each other and there were many parties, and in the land of the six palaces, there were naturally also concubines colluding and there were many parties.
Just like there are two sides to a mirrorβif someone is on the queen's side, there will naturally be someone on the opposite side of the queen.
He Zhu'er, the eldest daughter of He Zhong, who commanded the infantry army, is the "opposite" of this mirror, and is the second only to Xiao Ting in this Liang Xiao City, who dares to brazenly compete with Gu Linyu, who is the honor of the queen.
Speaking of which, He Zhuer was free and uninhibited when she was young, and she was simply a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth before entering the palace. It's a pity that after entering the palace, he was worn out by various conspiracies and calculations, and in all kinds of open and secret battles, all kinds of conspiracies, and all kinds of threats and persecution, He Zhuer grew step by step, step by step, step by step to what she is today......
Just like Ye Xinyu, Shi Ping, and Feng Lanxin are people from Queen Gu Linyu's faction, He Zhu'er is from the faction of Imperial Concubine Xiao Ting. Like Xiao Ting, He Zhuer firmly fulfills the purpose of "as long as she lives, she will never let Gu Linyu get better......
However, although He Zhu'er asked Liang Ruming a question, but before Liang Ruming could speak, Shi Ping took the lead in rushing to say: "Concubine Zhu, you are also a concubine, how can you ask such an unbearable question in front of everyone!" β
Hearing Shi Ping's words, He Zhu'er pursed her lips and smiled slightly, shifted her gaze to Shi Ping, raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Concubine Ping actually felt that the question asked by this palace was very unbearable? β
Shi Ping nodded with a righteous face: "Naturally, it is unbearable." β
He Zhu'er continued to smile and raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Ping's words are really ridiculous. From ancient times to the present, inheritance is the foundation of human ethics, and even the sages and saints cannot escape this...... Then according to Concubine Ping's meaning, the sages and saints are all unbearable? β
At that time, Shi Ping, who was dumbfounded by He Zhu'er's indifferent words, was so speechless that her face began to turn red, and she held back a sentence: "You are a strong word!" β
At this time, He Zhu'er suddenly pulled away the smile on her lips, and said solemnly: "Whether it is a strong word or not, Concubine Ping naturally knows in her heart." If the emperor touches Leng Zhaoyi, it is just the foundation of obedience to human ethics, how can it be unbearable? And this palace is just to ask the doubts in his heart, and he has not said anything that is not in line with the etiquette and law, so why not talk about it? ? β
After asking Shi Ping again speechless and her face turned red, He Zhu'er turned her eyes to look at Liang Ruming who was lying on the dragon bed, and asked seriously: "For this matter, the concubine is really puzzled, and I asked the emperor to solve the concubine's doubts." β
This time, no one rushed to answer He Zhu'er's question, so everyone in the hall clearly heard Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, answered He Zhu'er in a weak voice but in a firm tone: "Never." β
After Liang Ruming replied like this, He Zhu'er did not stop there, but continued to ask seriously: "Since Leng Zhaoyi entered the palace, he stayed in Yishu Hall every night, has the emperor really never touched Leng Zhaoyi?" β
"You don't have any jokes. If I did, wouldn't I dare admit it? Although Liang Ruming's voice was weak and weak, low and slow, his words could not hide the natural aura of a king.
After Liang Ruming finished speaking, he suddenly heard Liu Dan, who was standing on the side, cover his lips and smile coquettishly: "The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, so naturally he will not do such things that he dares to do but dare not admit it." Only those villains who are psychologically dark and can only play intrigues behind their backs will dare to do it. β
Liu Dan's words seemed to be said to Liang Ruming, but Liu Dan's eyes were ...... But he kept looking at Shi Ping, his eyes were full of mockery, and he was afraid that he could see it if he was not blind......
Shiping is naturally not blind. was first blocked by He Zhu'er twice and was speechless, and now she was scolded by Liu Dan so clearly, Shi Ping's face turned blue with anger, but she couldn't open her mouth to fight back against Liu Dan...... At this time, once she spoke, it was tantamount to acquiescing that the villain in Liu Dan's words was scolding her......
On the other hand, He Zhuer asked Liang Ruming again, still with a serious attitude: "The concubine still has a question." Dare to ask the emperor, in the emperor's heart, can Leng Zhaoyi be treated as a concubine like a concubine? β
Hearing He Zhu'er's question, Liang Ruming first sighed faintly, and then replied in a quiet tone: "I was also lost because of that jade peach blossom hairpin, so I insisted on Leng Xin entering the palace to accompany me. But Leng Xin's age...... After all, she is too young to be my granddaughter...... In my eyes, she is more like a junior......"
He Yuli, who was standing next to He Zhu'er, heard this, and immediately continued: "So, judging according to the emperor's intentions, it is not so much that the emperor accepted Leng Zhaoyi as a concubine, but that the emperor found a third-grade female official to serve by his side?" β
As soon as He Yuli finished speaking, He Zhu'er pursed her lips and smiled warmly at He Yuli: "My sister is stupid again, isn't it." The emperor's meaning is already so clear, do you need to ask again? β
He Yuli also looked at He Zhu'er with a smile, and continued to ask very stupidly and innocently: "So Leng Zhaoyi is really just a female official of the former dynasty, and she can't be regarded as the concubine of the Sixth Palace?" β
Xiao Ting, who was standing opposite Gu Linyu, also smiled when she heard this: "No wonder when the emperor summoned Leng Zhaoyi into the palace, he didn't give any position, but gave him a 'Zhaoyi' seat." The concubine was still wondering at the time, if Leng Zhaoyi was the concubine, even if she was favored by the emperor alone, but according to the etiquette of this dynasty, when a woman outside the general election enters the palace, the highest status cannot exceed the appearance. But Leng Zhaoyi directly crossed the contouring, and jumped three levels in a row, and directly did Zhaoyi...... It turned out that from the very beginning, the emperor summoned Leng Zhaoyi into the palace to be a female official! β
Xiao Ting's words were light and casual, but she put Leng Qing's identity in the position of a third-grade female official every word, with an attitude of wanting to remove Leng Qing from the concubine.
And at that time, in the face of Xiao Ting's words, Gu Linyu, who had always been bland in front of her, turned cold in a rare way, and her tone of voice was also a little cold: "I don't know that the imperial concubine and Leng Zhaoyi are so good that they ......."
"You ...... Enough of the noise, have you ......" Gu Linyu's words were not finished when he was interrupted by Leng Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon's bed, in a low voice.
Before everyone could react from Leng Qing's sudden voice, Shi Ping had already raised his hand and pointed at Leng Qing and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Whether you are a concubine or a female official of the former dynasty, you are just a mere Zhaoyi, and you dare to interrupt the queen's mother's speech, so presumptuous in front of the queen's mother!! β
Leng Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon's bed, suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes shot directly at Shi Ping coldly, and her voice was as cold as Bingling in the cold winter moon: "Presumptuous? What about you? In front of the emperor, why are you not presumptuous? Have any of you noticed...... In a time when you are arguing and fighting each other...... Emperor...... Already went to ......"
