Chapter 470: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

An Lingxiu came here specifically for Yin Susu's letter, but in the face of Queen Liu's inquiry, she didn't say anything about it in her first sentence.

"Something really happened, mother!" An Lingxiu was panting unevenly despite herself, and said hurriedly, "You must not leave the East Palace now, Concubine Lu Li got the news and intercepted it outside!" ”

"What did you say?" Queen Liu couldn't help but change color when she heard this! "Who's stuck outside?"

"Concubine Lu Li brought someone!"

"She's bold, this is to go to heaven!" Empress Liu's face was furious.

"Niangniang, now is not the time to entangle Concubine Lu Li, hurry up and think about what to do? Now that you are out of the woods, how can you go back to the palace? If Your Majesty really asked Concubine Lu Li to check ......"

"Go tell Su Shi first, let her be on guard." Empress Liu's mind turned, this matter is indeed very troublesome, if she can't return to Qingning Palace in time, then she has to think of a suitable reason to explain why she is in the East Palace.

At this time, the wind in the night blew away a little bit of heat, and the silver stars shone brightly on the moonless night, but under the reflection of the lanterns and torches, the stars were dim and almost invisible. The people in the East Palace are not blind, so many lights are dazzling and tight at night, how can they not see it? The people guarding the door naturally reported it in a hurry, and as soon as Su Shi learned the news from An Lingxiu, he heard the following people report it.

"Crown Princess, how to do it, you better have an idea." An Lingxiu sighed lightly in her heart, but her face was quite respectful, "In this situation, the queen is afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the East Palace." ”

Su Shi was actually very angry and anxious. But they can't have seizures. The angry thing was Liu's indiscretion, and Baba's running happened to be blocked, but she, the crown princess, wanted to help her hide it. How can it not be depressed. But I can't help it, once the prince and the queen have a personal affair and it is exposed, not only will the queen die, but she will not be able to please her, and her daughter will be implicated. Not to mention anything else, if the matter gets out of the way, what will happen to your daughter's marriage in the future?

The urgency is that the news leaks. No matter how you mess with the prince and queen in the future, you have to pass the level of Concubine Lu Li first. Concubine Lu dared to besiege the East Palace, so she was determined to tear her face. We can't let her get away with it. And this time it is actually a backwater battle for both sides, as long as Concubine Lu Li does not catch the mistake this time, Concubine Lu Li herself will be unlucky, trespassing in the East Palace is not a small crime!

But Su is not good at strategy. I was angry and anxious for a while. I don't know how to do it, remembering that this An Lingxiu is a close confidant of Queen Liu, maybe she also has a good idea to ask.

"An Lingxiu, do you have any opinions?" While calling someone to inform the chief eunuch of the East Palace, Su asked the beautiful woman in front of him.

An Lingxiu had obviously thought about it a lot, and nodded, "For today's plan, I want you to be tough." The East Palace is not a mere concubine. Even the queen mother can't be surrounded and forced without a valid reason. This kind of containment matter, Concubine Lu Li didn't care about it in the first place. ”

"But the queen, she-" Of course, the Su family knew that Concubine Lu Li's move was very rude. is violating the dignity of the prince, but the key is that Concubine Lu Li is indeed sure that she can block Queen Liu. "Even if I block Concubine Lu Li and don't let her enter the East Palace, I can only delay time, and she will send someone to inform the emperor long ago.

"Let's just say that the queen mother got an emergency report, and she knew that His Royal Highness the crown prince was critically ill, didn't the crown princess send someone to report to the emperor before? At the same time, the mother said that because she didn't know that the road was so serious at the beginning, she reported it to the queen first. But don't take the initiative to say that the queen is here, but don't be in a hurry to deny what Concubine Lu Li said. An Lingxiu said slowly and calmly, "The most important thing at the moment is to inform the people of Qingning Palace to cooperate, and the words on both sides must be right, but this is difficult." ”

An Lingxiu is more worried about this, in this situation, not to mention that it is difficult for Queen Liu to return to the palace, and it is difficult for others to leave the palace, the key is that it is difficult to say if she is caught, if she leaks any secrets, it will be even worse. Fortunately, Queen Liu didn't care about going home, she had already discussed a charter, and once she didn't return to the palace but was discovered, she said that the situation on the prince's side was a little bad, and she stayed and took a look.

Although the Su family is also smart, it is more for people, and his eyes were stunned by An Lingxiu's words, "Or, just do it?" ”

"Crown Princess, you have to make a decision immediately, Concubine Lu Li's men are about to arrive, maybe they will be impacted, we have to make some preparations first." An Lingxiu pursed her lips, her eyes resolute.

"Yes, yes." Su Shi nodded and said, "Do you have any other good suggestions?" ”

As the first confidential staff officer and secretary by the queen's side, An Lingxiu is naturally not an ordinary person, her brain is spinning fast, and she has already planned about it.

So before Concubine Lu Li and the people came to the East Palace, she saw that the door of the East Palace was suddenly wide open, and many people poured out at once, lined up on both sides, all holding torches and lanterns, but standing in the middle was the crown princess Su who was waiting after being dressed up.

"Su, what do you mean by that?!" Concubine Lu Li actually wanted to catch the East Palace and Queen Liu off guard, but now she looks like it's out of action. But it doesn't matter, although she is rude, she is still vigorous, arrogant and confident.

"I'm going to ask Concubine Li what you mean!" Su Shi raised his chin and glanced at Concubine Lu Li with disdain, and the look of disdain on her beautiful face was unobstructed, "I heard that Concubine Li, you came at night, our East Palace naturally has to pay attention to etiquette, if you don't pay attention to it, we can't be shameless!" It's just that now that the night is dark, it's not the time to entertain guests, Concubine Li, you should go back and forth from where! ”

"You!"

Concubine Lu Li was angry, but she didn't expect the Su family to be so sharp-tongued. In fact, she has always looked down on the Su family, she doesn't like such a gentle and gentle person, in fact, the Su family always reminds her of the former queen for some reason, and she is disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

"Concubine Li, please go back, early tomorrow morning, I will personally invite the imperial father to administer justice! How can the imperial concubine go straight to the East Palace, and still fight with open fire, is this for breakfast! "In the last sentence, Su Shi said very harshly!

Concubine Lu Li was also shocked, no matter how much confidence she had in her actions, but, but she quickly realized the problem, she couldn't follow the rhythm of the Su family, she came to catch turtles in the urn today, and she must be dragged until the emperor came in person, only when the emperor personally blocked Queen Liu, did the incest matter be confirmed.

As for the Su family, she didn't expect Concubine Lu Li to leave, what she had to do was to drag Concubine Lu Li. The two of you come and go, and Concubine Lu Li still fell behind for a while, after all, her move is unreasonable, but Queen Liu's matter cannot be mentioned clearly. Concubine Lu Li has been with Emperor Yuwenji for thirty years, and she still understands his temperament, what he can tolerate and what he can't tolerate, she is clear.

Because if the scandal of the queen and the crown prince having an affair spreads, the entire royal face will not want it, so even if it is true, the emperor will make it fake. When the time comes, even if he lets Yuwen Ji know that he really wants to do so, and secretly disposes of the Liu family, he doesn't want to curry favor.

But Su's actions also made her suspicious, did Su Shi not know about Empress Daoliu and the crown prince?

She originally thought that the Su family would definitely not know, after all, the Liu family was also very secretive, and the prince would never tell his wife about his affair with his stepmother, and he would definitely try his best to hide it. And if the Su clan had known the Tao a long time ago, they would inevitably think of ways to stop the Liu clan, and the Liu clan would not have been able to come and go so many times. The Liu family always comes to the East Palace once a day or two, she used to think that Empress Liu was currying favor with the emperor, but she didn't expect it to be such a reason!

Thinking of this, Concubine Lu Li's face looked much better, even if the Su family really knew the Dao? It is indisputable that Queen Liu is in the East Palace at the moment, and it will be late at night, and it will be up to her to see what she says!

Su Shi was tough on her face, but she was actually uneasy in her heart, but she didn't dare to stop and continued to accuse Lu Lifei, in fact, she really hoped that Lu Lifei could instruct her subordinates to do it, so that she could take the opportunity to pass on the news. It's a pity that Concubine Lu Li still knows in her heart, besieging the East Palace and besieging the East Palace are two different things, the former can even bring more people to visit, and the latter is no different from rebellion according to the laws of this dynasty.

Concubine Lu probably sensed that the Su family wanted to provoke herself to do it, and she probably wanted to take the opportunity to send the Liu family, and sneered in her heart. Do you think I'm stupid, with that old man's love for his son, if he really besieges the East Palace, even if he really finds out that the prince and the Liu family have an affair, I will die!

Outside the gate of the East Palace, Concubine Lu Li and the Crown Princess each had their own ghosts, and their minds were secretly turning, but Queen Liu finally opened the letter sent by Yin Susu in the outer room of the Prince's bedroom.

The letter was not long, and the Imperial Doctor, who peeked through the crack in the door of the inner chamber, saw only a piece of paper. Empress Liu's expression after reading the letter was not very good, her face was gloomy, and there was an indescribable eerie beauty in the jumping candle flames.

I don't know what is written on it, although there is only a piece of paper, it is full of words, and the imperial doctor muttered in his heart. It's a pity that Queen Liu burned the letter and the envelope after reading it. Then the Imperial Physician saw her take a deep breath, her eyes regained her composure, and she walked into the inner room.

"What's the daze? What's going on with the prince now? "Queen Liu's red dress dragged to the ground, and the delicate flowers bloomed like blood.

"Right now, the Prince's condition is quite stable, ahβ€”His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to wake up." The imperial physician originally replied casually, not wanting to look at it again, and found that the prince's eyelids were trembling slightly.

"Quick, get a needle." The expression on Empress Liu's face changed from calm and calm to worried, and asked the imperial doctor to hurry up and prick the needle for first aid.

The imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse and then prick the needle, but in an instant, the prince slowly opened his eyes.

"Like, what's going on outside?" His voice was subtle.

"It's okay, this is the East Palace." Empress Liu said as she glanced at the Imperial Doctor.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can recuperate in peace." The Imperial Physician also chimed in.

In fact, there was really a new situation outside at this time, because the emperor, who had been waiting for both sides, had finally arrived. (To be continued......)
