Chapter 457: Taking a Risk
"But Wu Mei has been cultivated by Yuan Ziyan since she was a child, and Yuan Ziyan has also funded her family, Wu Mei has long regarded her as her mother, how can she easily turn against her?" Queen Wang is right to think so, but she can be sure that Gao Yang and Yuan Ziyan are mortal enemies, and it will not be the two of them who will work together to set up a trick for themselves.
The queen is reasonable, but Wu Mei is worse than dead at this time, and Yuan Ziyan didn't meet her last time. I have sent someone to inquire, and it is said that a few beauty pills have been delivered. If we do something on the pills, and then the queen will help her, Wu Meishou has been lonely for more than ten years, and it is inevitable that she will hate Yuan Ziyan, and when the time comes, she will be brought into the palace, which can not only reconcile with His Majesty, but also make Yuan Ziyan's plan bankrupt, maybe she will be mad, and she will be killed in one fell swoop, why not? Gao Yang smiled slyly.
Queen Wang seemed to hear some way, which is called borrowing strength, and hurriedly asked, "How to do it?" ”
Gao Yang stepped forward, and the two chatted secretly for a long time, and Queen Wang called out the clever plan, and threw herself to the ground for Gao Yang's admiration, and gave her many gifts when she left, which was regarded as a reward for the military advisor.
Gao Yang accepted it with a smile, in fact, she didn't look down on these gifts, as long as she could stir up the turmoil, it would be equivalent to her taking the first step towards revenge.
After leaving the palace, Gao Yang immediately sent someone to Ganye Temple, so this and so explained, when it was dark, the henchman came back to his life, saying that everything was arranged properly, and there was absolutely no difference.
And Yuan Ziyan also received a secret letter from Li Shan, which said that the concubine had not been trusted by His Majesty in the past two years, and it seemed that there was a bad move to woo the princes and nobles everywhere. Be careful. And Princess Gaoyang seems to have sent people to the Ganye Temple a few times recently, and she has been looking for home remedies for having children, and her behavior is also very abnormal.
Most of the information is about the same as what I have. But what is the reason why Princess Gaoyang secretly went to Ganye Temple? The concubines in it have never had a close relationship with Gao Yang before, and I haven't heard of anyone else, is it deliberately going to see people's downfall?
Not good!
Suddenly, a name came into Yuan Ziyan's mind, it was Wu Mei!
The last time I went to Ganye Temple, many people must have known about it, and naturally it was indispensable to listen to Princess Gaoyang in all directions, so. Yuan Ziyan can almost be determined. Gao Yang went to Ganye Temple for Wu Mei!
It can't be that you want to poison Wu Mei, right? Yuan Ziyan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly sent a secret letter out of the palace to Li Shan. Let him secretly protect Wu Mei's safety, don't be poisoned.
The result was unexpected, and Li Shan reported back that Wu Mei was all right, no different from before. Wake up early and go to bed late. Peace of mind.
Yuan Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was too worried, and she thought that Princess Gaoyang would not have to get along with a nun who had already cut her hair.
Yuan Ziyan has been busy with state affairs, and in a few days it will be Li Shimin's death day, and the palace attaches great importance to it. Li Zhi was even more sad when he thought of his deceased parents, crying and weeping, and even fell ill once, and it took seven or eight days to gradually get better.
"The death of the first emperor is approaching. I want to leave the palace and go to the temple to burn incense and pray for the first emperor, I don't know what you think? Li Zhi asked listlessly.
Naturally, the ministers had no objection to this. This is also a filial piety for the Son of Man, which is understandable.
"I wonder which temple Your Majesty wants to go to?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked cautiously.
"It's always been Ganye Temple, and this year, according to the convention, let's go there." As Li Zhi spoke, his eyebrows twitched, and Yuan Ziyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Li Zhi had not forgotten Wu Mei, and should have wanted to see her.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Suddenly, the eldest grandson Wuji knelt on the ground, looking a little excited, Yuan Ziyan's heart sank, knowing that this old guy was thinking of Wu Mei.
But the words can't be said so clearly, the eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was in the temple, he respected Master Xuanzang of the Great Grace Temple the most, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has begun to take shape, why don't Your Majesty take this opportunity to go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and ask the monks to recite the scriptures of the past life and pray for the royal family?" ”
This one? Li Zhi was a little choked and didn't know what to do.
Whether it is in terms of scale or the prestige of the monks, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is incomparable to other monasteries, and it seems that there is no reason to refuse. Li Zhi looked at Yuan Ziyan, but she sat aside without saying a word, and after thinking about it for a long time, she held back a reason and said: "The childless concubines of the first emperor were all sent to Ganye Temple, and when it comes to it, they are all my concubines, so I should go to visit them now." ”
"Since you have become a nun, you will cut off from mundane things, if Your Majesty really has this heart, you don't have to go in person, you can send the female relatives in the palace to visit on your behalf." The eldest grandson Wuji suggested.
Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "In this way, there is a ...... of Lao Guoshi"
"Your Majesty, the national teacher is busy with official business, and this matter is small and small, but it is big and big, and if you do it well, you can show your majesty's filial piety and set an example for the people of the world. Therefore, the minister thought that it would be more appropriate for the queen to go on behalf of His Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji said again.
Yuan Ziyan remained silent, she knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was obstructing her from meeting Wu Mei everywhere, but when the matter came to this, she was not in a hurry, and she needed to think more before making plans.
"Your Majesty, I think what the eldest grandson said is reasonable. The queen is the head of the six palaces, and it is reasonable to visit the concubines for His Majesty's filial piety. Yuan Ziyan said lightly.
It's all like this, what else can I do? Li Zhi held back his thoughts and announced his retirement from the dynasty in a sullen manner.
The eldest grandson Wuji was a little relieved, but on the other hand, he was also worried, it was obvious that Li Zhi was not dead set on Wu Mei, so he had to prevent the two from meeting.
In a few years, Wu Mei is a half-old, with rough skin, even if the emperor still has affection for her, it is just a more reward, and he will definitely not enter the palace again.
And the eldest grandson Wuji decided that the queen and Yuan Ziyan were not of the same mind, and of course he would not condone Yuan Ziyan's subordinates, and over time, he broke the emperor's thoughts.
It's just that what makes the eldest grandson want to cry without tears is that the women of the Houting Court do everything in order to compete for favor. The queen fell out of favor and was anxious, and her mother was not around, so she actually listened to Princess Gaoyang's words, and planned to take a risk to take the emperor's sweetheart back to the palace, so as to win over the emperor's heart.
A woman's heart, a man had better not guess, he can't guess it at all.
It is said that Queen Wang got her wish and wanted to go to Ganye Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, Li Zhi inevitably explained a few words, although it was a cold face, but Queen Wang's attitude seemed very enthusiastic, and even a little excited.
Queen Wang repeatedly emphasized that she would work hard to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, because they were husband and wife, and her husband's worries were her heart knots, and they must work together to complete them.
Li Zhi was confused by Queen Wang's actions, but it was rare to see her smile on her face, and ordered her to bring many gifts, vegetarian pastries, cloths and other things, as well as a lot of gold and silver as a reward.
Queen Wang happily left the palace, but Li Zhi's mood fell to a low point. In fact, in his heart, Li Zhi's feelings for his stepmother Yuan Ziyan are very complicated, this different woman, cheerful and optimistic, whenever her father is with her, there are some endless topics, and laughter comes from time to time, which is particularly cherished in the dull palace.
Strong generals have no weak soldiers, Wu Mei trained by Yuan Ziyan herself, she is a woman who is as quiet as water, there is always a charming smile on the corner of her mouth, and her wisdom seems to be an endless treasure, inexhaustible, as long as he is with her, Li Zhi has never been afraid of these annoying twists and turns.
Whispering slowly, the dark fragrance strikes people, no matter how much work you do, you don't feel tired, and even Li Zhi thinks that his intelligence is exercised by Wu Mei to a certain extent.
Time is always swishing to pass, in addition to being busy, there are also beauties in the palace to enrich the court, Li Zhi always has the joy of being the emperor for the first time, and it is inevitable to be nostalgic for the flowers and enjoy the blessings.
But the pleasure of the flesh is only temporary, and Li Zhi suddenly finds that there is nothing evocative about these women, they are as simple as a pool of water, which can be seen through at a glance.
For example, Queen Wang, who was already from a good background and was high, has now become the mother of the country, and has become more and more like a puppeteer, and her clothes are all decent. But if you dress like this on weekdays, it will inevitably be boring and even look old-fashioned.
Concubine Xiao Shu, needless to say, just hopes to tie Li Zhi to her side, and even wants to do everything she can to entrap the emperor, which is indeed the case, every time Li Zhi goes, the two of them can come up with some new ways to play, which is very interesting, but after the love, Concubine Xiao always keeps hinting at one thing, that is, Lisujie is the prince.
Li Zhi couldn't bear to refuse in person, well, he responded indiscriminately, but Concubine Xiao Shu became more and more unwilling and was in a hurry, Li Zhi said that the queen had never given birth, and she was still very young, do you think that she is a monarch who does not live long?
As soon as Li Zhi was annoyed, Concubine Xiao Shufei couldn't stop crying, she kept crying for herself, saying everything for the good of His Majesty, for the sake of social stability, and even said that if Lisujie was the prince, she would rather be a nun.
Hey, who believes this, Concubine Xiao Shufei is an idle person, her back garden has the highest exposure rate, and she always talks about being bored, shouting that she wants to go out of the palace to play.
Li Sujie has no problem with her appearance, temperament and intelligence, and Concubine Xiao Shufei's identity is also noble, Li Zhi is thinking that if the queen has no children, if Sujie is established as the prince, it will be difficult for one of the ministers to have desperate opponents, and on the other hand, Concubine Xiao Shufei's character is arrogant and difficult to convince the public.
Many tedious things give Li Zhi a headache, the more this is the case, the more he can appreciate the benefits of Wu Mei, that shallow smile, always quietly take care of everything for him, but never ask for credit.
and those little hands that are always cool, all because of the hard work of staying up late, how can the little hands be exposed to the outside? Thinking of this, Li Zhi was very anxious, I don't know how Wu Mei is in Ganye Temple, whether she suffers, whether she is fat or thin, and whether she has forgotten me? (To be continued......)
