Chapter 11: Wolf Ambition
Tears rolled in Helan Minyue's eyes, she looked at the emperor sadly and with a little hope, expecting him to help her save some face, but she didn't expect to hear the eviction order. For a while, she was ashamed and angry, and she ran away crying regardless of etiquette.
Li Zhi was a little distressed, and was about to stand up, but heard Wu Mei say coldly: "As a concubine, acting so unorthodox, it is a dereliction of duty for the concubine."
Li Zhi hurriedly turned around and said: "The queen is serious, Minyue is just a little petty after drinking too much, and it is not unseemly, let's not spoil the fun, let's continue to eat." ”
The emperor spoke, and everyone picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened. In fact, behind everyone's smile, there is a hidden thought. The emperor wanted to finish eating quickly to coax Minyue, but Wu Shun felt ashamed and wanted to rest early. It seems that only Wu Mei really enjoys it. Tang Ying really admired her kung fu to hide her emotions.
The atmosphere of a meal is depressing.
Wu Shun was in a aggrieved mood, drank a lot of stuffy wine, and retired early. Li Xian cared for her very much and took the initiative to ask Ying to send her back. Tang Ying was afraid that he would not be able to hold Wu Shun alone when it was dark, so he went with him to send it.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when she arrived at Wushun's dormitory, she was already a little drunk and unconscious.
Tang Ying said goodbye, and Li Xian prepared to stay overnight to serve Wu Shun at night. Seeing this, Tang Ying couldn't help but think that Li Xian was really closer to Wu Shun than his own son.
walked out of the door, but I didn't expect Li Xian to follow and close the door. "Looking for me?" Tang Ying looked at this prince who liked to pretend to be a little adult with a smile. I saw Li Xian blushing and said, "I asked you to go just now, just because my aunt asked me to go." Don't think I forgot about you hitting me! ”
Tang Ying clasped his hands, "Yohe, I didn't expect you to be quite strategic?" Let me think about it, you have not only preserved the image of a good child in front of your father and queen mother, so that they can't bear to punish you, but also fulfilled Madame Helan's wish. Oh, and at the same time, it can also make your sister Helan unable to get off the stage, right? That's killing three birds with one stone! Awesome, awesome! ”
Li Xian was a little proud, and tried his best to keep his face from laughing. Tang Ying asked funny: "But you also thank me a little sincerely, right?" ”
Li Xian turned his head away from her, kicked the soil on the ground, and replied in a low voice, "Hmm." It's not exactly acting...... Anyway, you saved my life, and I will repay you later. Tang Ying became happy, rubbed his hair vigorously and said, "With this sentence, it will be done, I don't care about the villain, I will say goodbye first." ”
"Wait!" Li Xian stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, "I will definitely achieve great things, and I will definitely not lose to Brother Hong, let you know that I am nothing...... Brat! ”
Turns out that's the word he cared about! Tang Ying saw that he was stubborn and awkward, and he really had a shadow of his own, so he locked his shoulder with one arm, and rubbed his hair harder with the other hand, causing him to shout but was afraid of waking up Mrs. Helan, so he could only kick his feet hard.
Tang Ying laughed enough and made enough trouble, and floated out a few steps away in a flash. said to Li Xian, who was a little stunned: "Okay, I'm waiting for the day when you let me look high!" ”
Li Xian pretended to be very imposing, straightened his clothes, nodded solemnly at her in the demeanor of a prince, pushed open the door and entered.
Tang Ying looked at the bright moon in the sky, his heart was very clear and happy, no matter what the purpose, it was always a good thing to make Li Xian angry.
Back at the banquet in the garden, at the empty long table, only Wu Mei was waiting for her. This queen of the world, no matter at any time or occasion, can maintain impeccable elegance, does not show a trace of loneliness or weakness, and always looks confident.
For a while, for some reason, Tang Ying's nose was a little sour. She vaguely remembered that when she first entered the palace more than ten years ago, Wu Mei would cry when she was sad, and daxiao when she was happy, she was a living person. It's like now, wrapping yourself in layers of armor such as power and status so that you can no longer see your true face.
She trotted to Wu Mei's side to help her back to the palace.
Needless to say, Li Zhi must have gone to Helan Minyue again. Wu Mei's expression was indifferent, as if she was accustomed to the matter of staying alone in the empty room. They walked slowly in the moonlight, Wu Mei didn't know what to remember, and said leisurely: "Ah Ying." When I give birth to this child, I will let you go out of the palace and live for a while. Or like the courtiers, come to the palace during the day and go back to Li Chunfeng at night. ”
Tang Ying said: "Mei Niang, how can you talk about this matter? We're all used to it. ”
Wu Mei shook her head and said as if reminiscing: "How can you get used to it?" I know the loneliness of being alone. So, I hope you don't be like me. Ah Ying, you still have a choice. She laughed softly, and fell silent again.
Li Zhi kept his demeanor and left the Imperial Garden, and then walked faster and faster, impatiently walking towards the Bead Mirror Hall where Helan Minyue lived. It is the farthest away from the Penglai Hall where Wu Mei lives, but it is the closest to the Taiye Pool, and the scenery is beautiful, which shows the emperor's favor for her.
Helan Minyue was originally sulking in bed, but when she heard Wang Fusheng report from afar that the emperor had arrived, this move proved that the emperor always treasured her the most, otherwise she would not have made a special trip at night. I was overjoyed for a while, and I was busy sorting out my makeup in front of the mirror.
She took off her skirt as quickly as she could, wearing only a pink light gauze yukata, and her full curves were about to come out, which was indescribably seductive. She looked in the mirror and tried to make her eyes regain tears, pretending to be pitiful. She decided to do everything she could to make Li Zhi swoon, and then said all the bad things about Wu Mei and Tang Ying to save the face she lost at the dinner.
After waiting for a long time, she didn't see Li Zhi come in, she shrank by the door and peeked outside, only to see Wang Fusheng reminding Li Zhi in a low voice, "Bixia, Lord Shangguan has something important to report tomorrow, so it's better to go back to Zichen Hall to rest." ”
Li Zhi was also feeling a little tired, and he wavered between going or staying. Helan Minyue secretly hated in her heart, and cried quietly in a hurry. The delicate cry reached Li Zhi's ears and turned into a rope that hooked the soul, so that he finally decided to stay overnight, and only instructed Wang Fusheng: "Got it." Come and call me tomorrow morning. Anyway, that old guy is all speculation about Mei Niang, what I want is evidence, evidence! Without evidence, everything is in vain. ”
Wang Fusheng saw that the emperor's soul had flown into the door, so he had to bow and retreat.
Helan Minyue heard it clearly in the room. Recently, Shangguan Yi's request for the abolition of the queen has caused a lot of uproar, and the harem has also heard about it. When she heard that there was no conclusive evidence yet, her stomach was full of bad water and immediately surged.
She has always thought that she is not only young and beautiful, but also a political wizard who is better than Wu Mei. No, the emperor walked a few steps to the bedside, and she had already thought of a clever plan, to take this opportunity to bring down Wu Mei in one fell swoop and become the queen herself!
