Chapter 209: Turn Back
If you take the throne, you will have the opportunity to have everything you want. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Chengmao is not afraid of the world and prejudice, and is willing to snatch the position that he has no intention of grabbing, but only to stay with the appearance of the woman in front of him. But is she willing? If she didn't want to, he would have successfully ascended to the throne, and it would be meaningless.
If I were emperor, would you be my queen? Faced with his question, Shen Yan once again felt his sincerity. It is this sincerity that makes her unbearable to deceive with lies. She just wanted to make a bet with him, and he still pampered her.
"I can't be your queen, will you watch thieves steal the throne and let the Li bloodline be killed?" Shen Yan might as well explain the seriousness of the matter to him, "Don't you understand that whether Prince Ying or the Marquis of Anxi are in control of the situation, we will not have good fruits to eat?" ”
"Isn't there still my big brother? He controls the military department, has the army, and this time he is at a disadvantage, as long as he saves his life, he still has a chance to turn over. It turned out that what Li Chengmao was looking forward to was his eldest brother Wesley. He also said: "If my eldest brother is in control of the situation, he will definitely not embarrass any of my Li family." ”
There is some truth in his words, but no matter what, Shen Yan still obsessively believes that Li Chengmao in front of him is the best candidate for the right name. "Promise me to send someone to escort me into the palace." She didn't say anything else, just pleaded.
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Li Chengmao paced two steps anxiously, and finally looked at her, asking with some annoyance: "You can change the overall situation if you enter the palace."
"I can buy you time." Shen Yan lowered her chin slightly, and finally said her true heart: "It's not for power and profit, just for the emperor's love for me." At this time, I should also stay by his side. Thinking of Li Chengqi, she felt so self-reproachful in her heart. If none of this had ever happened. How good? If yesterday morning, she drank the bowl of saffron in front of him. None of that will happen.
Her thousands of feelings were seen through by Li Chengmao. Li Chengmao sighed secretly, and finally promised her that he was willing to send someone to escort her into the palace, but he then told her: "If the emperor really has three longs and two shorts, I will not compete for that position, but I will do my best to support the eldest prince to ascend the throne." ”
"But Han'er is only two years old......"
"Biluo." Li Chengmao interrupted her with a summons. When Biluo walked into the house from outside, he ordered: "Dress up for the mother." And prepare a few decent clothes for the mother to change into. After that, he didn't look back at Shen Yan again, and Gu Zi walked outside the house.
Shen Yan knew that he was going to gather his own strength.
When Biluo was dressing up for Shen Yan, she was a little absent-minded. Shen Yan also had her own thoughts, and she didn't care about her carelessness. But at a certain moment, when she was making hairpins for her, it hurt her, causing Shen Yan to unconsciously let out an "ah" scream.
Biluo realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly knelt on the ground. But she didn't beg for mercy, she just lowered her head and didn't even say a word of explanation.
Shen Yan glanced at her and re-hairpinned the flower she had not had hairpins on her head. Then he called her a "Biluo" and said: "This palace heard that in the past half a year when the whereabouts of King Xian and this palace are unknown, many of the subordinates who were on errands in Qinxin Garden have left. Only you and Ding Quan never give up hope and wait for King Xian to come back. You're right to King Xian. It's a lot of infatuation. ”
Shen Yan's words were light, but she finally broke Biluo's thoughts. But. Biluo could hear her say that she had broken her mind, but she didn't show the slightest panic. She said such a thing, but she still didn't say anything.
"Then you must be like the women in the palace who hate this palace, and you can't wait for this palace to never come to this world, right?" Shen Yan leaned sideways slightly and looked at her closely.
Listening to the eyes, Biluo's body that was originally lying on the ground gradually straightened. She raised her eyes, and when she was met with Shen Yan's gaze that was too dim and therefore made people feel a little terrifying, she didn't intend to avoid it. She said: "The slave maid has a humble status, but the slave and maid sincerely love the prince. Whenever the prince tortures himself day and night for you, the slave and maid are the saddest. ”
As she spoke, her tears flowed silently down her cheeks like two rivers. She also said: "When the prince is sick, the slaves and maids guard him; The prince was unhappy, and the slave coaxed him to be happy; The prince was disappointed in his mother, and the slave comforted him...... When the prince needed it, the slave and maid did a lot, what about you? Niangniang, what did you always think you had done for the prince? Which time," her voice suddenly became a little louder, "didn't Niangniang get into trouble and asked the prince to clean up the mess for you?" ”
The complaints she kept complaining about were all hatred and anger towards Shen Yan. And her resentful words, Shen Yan felt unusually comfortable when she heard it. At this time, she likes to hear someone say that she is not - whether it is Li Chengqi or Li Chengmao, they are good enough for her. And she has been living up. Especially for Li Chengmao, she doesn't seem to have been kind to him.
Living in the shadow of the previous life, she spent too long trying to understand people's true and false intentions, and when it finally became clear, it was too late. In the previous life, maybe it wasn't the ruthlessness of others, the fault of others, the only thing that was wrong was her own heart and her own self-righteous stubbornness.
"You are to King Xian, what King Xian is to this palace." Shen Yan got up and said very calmly, "Although this palace will never be with King Xian, his affection still moves this palace." I believe that one day, your sincerity to King Xian can also be understood by King Xian. ”
Biluo blinked her eyes covered by a layer of mist when she heard this, she was so smart and lovely. Shen Yan took a step forward and ordered, "Okay, the palace is going back to the palace." ”
Outside, the guards arranged by Li Chengmao to escort her into the palace had been waiting outside the main gate of the palace for a long time. When Shen Yan saw them, she didn't see Li Chengmao, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook up a little satisfied smile - Chengmao still indulged her and was willing to follow her every decision.
To Shen Yan's surprise, she was escorted into the palace by more than 20 palace guards, but she did not meet anyone who dared to stop her. This even made her suspect for a moment that Li Chengqi's life was a lie from the beginning.
When she was about to reach the Jinyang Palace, she finally stopped uneasily. A few palace people happened to pass by, so she stopped them, and then asked, "Didn't you say that there was chaos in the palace?" ”
The palace people recognized that the person in front of them was the Queen of the West Palace, and all of them showed a little joy on their faces. One of the eunuchs stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, you can count it back, go to Jinyang Hall to see the emperor." The emperor was assassinated last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, and outside the Jinyang Palace, there is really a mess. ”
There is really chaos in the palace, but why does it seem so calm? Shen Yan thought that some people would take action to stop her from entering the palace. But the truth was not what she expected.
Since this is the case, she will go to Jinyang Hall wholeheartedly.
Taking a step, she saw a bright light outside the Jinyang Palace.
Looking closer, the huge open space outside the Jinyang Hall has been surrounded by people. I don't know who discovered Shen Yan first, everyone only heard him shouting "The queen mother has arrived", and consciously made way for Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's surprised gaze, in the dark night, through the light, swept over Prince Ying Liu Ji, the military department Shangshu Wesley, Anxi Hou Jiao Huaiqing, and the imperial guard commander Huo Qing. She noticed that they had different reactions to her appearance, but none of them seemed to be surprised in the slightest. No, exactly, they are all waiting for her arrival.
Sure enough, after everyone saluted her, Huo Qing stepped forward and said loudly: "Niangniang, the emperor once told you about the establishment of the prince, and now you will convey the emperor's holy will in front of the adults, right?" ”
How could Li Chengqi ever talk to Shen Yan about the establishment of the prince? Shen Yan looked at Huo Qing and tried to recall, only thinking that Li Chengqi had revealed to her that time that the candidate for the prince in his heart was not their eldest son Li Han. But, Huo Qing deliberately said such a thing, right? After a moment of surprise, Shen Yan finally came back to her senses. Faced with the waiting of Prince Ying, Anxihou and Wesley, she didn't say anything, only said: "Let this palace go in to see the emperor's injury." ”
"Mother, stay here." Anxi Hou Jiao Huaiqing couldn't help but pull her and said, "Niangniang should tell the ministers first, who did the emperor appoint as the prince?" lest the ministers have to wait in a hurry. ”
"Anxi, what kind of rebellious words are you talking about?" Shen Yan suddenly raised her voice and shouted angrily, and then asked Jiao Huaiqing: "The emperor is still unconscious inside, you don't care about the emperor's dragon body, but you care about who will be the emperor next." Aren't you looking forward to the emperor's return to the West as soon as possible? ”
Her loud words pierced the cold night, so that many people did not dare to urge again. Anxi Hou Jiao Huaiqing took a step back, lest he be truthful before he came out. After all, this is not good for him to fight for the throne for the second prince.
At this time, the door of the Jinyang Hall was opened, and Yuan Ji walked out of it. He walked quickly to Shen Yan, almost crying with joy: "Niangniang, Niangniang, you are back, hurry, go in and see the emperor." Your Majesty, he's been waiting for you to come back. He spoke with a crying tone, which made Shen Yan blame herself even more.
Shen Yan took a big step and quickly followed him to the dormitory of Jinyang Palace.
On the dragon bed, Li Chengqi lay quietly. His lips were a bloodless white, his face was haggard, his eyes were deep-set, and he lost a lot of weight in just one day and one night. Just looking at him, Shen Yan's tears couldn't help but flow out. She sat down on the side of his bed and carefully grabbed his hand...... The hands that were once so warm and powerful are now so cold and weak.
She tried not to cry out loud, so the flesh on her cheeks fluttered a little bit. She grabbed his hand and put it on her chest, hoping to use her body temperature to warm his cold. She opened her mouth and finally called "Chengqi", but her voice was so dumb that it was almost not heard by anyone.
Is he really going to die? (To be continued.) )
