Chapter 158
On the second day of Liu Jing's birthday, Yin Lihua went to the North Palace to see Guo Shengtong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Guo Shengtong is indifferent to rare guests like Yin Lihua and treats them as if they were nothing.
Yin Lihua watched Guo Shengtong leisurely repairing her potted plants, and there was nothing to worry about, she sat down calmly and drank tea. There is always a time when the potted plants are repaired, and at this time, Guo Shengtong glanced at Yin Lihua and said, "Are you here to show off your might to me or to ridicule and ridicule?" If it is my sin to hold back a problem, your majesty may not be able to spare me. ”
Yin Lihua raised her eyes to look at Guo Shengtong and asked, "Liu Jing's Fu mother, what are your intentions?" ”
"What do you think?" Guo Shengtong asked Yin Lihua with a smile.
Yin Lihua heard this, smiled, and looked away, Guo Shengtong's answer was within her expectations, she just wanted to take a look on a whim this time, she didn't care much about her intentions, anyway, even if she knew, it would be in vain, Guo Shengtong would still do what she wanted to do, she didn't think she could stop it. "I didn't expect my sister to succumb to Beigong, but her ability is still undiminished."
Guo Shengtong smiled at this without saying a word.
Yin Lihua saw that Guo Shengtong looked confident, smiled, and said: "I advise my sister not to toss too much, if the only blessing is gone, I am afraid that my sister will regret it at that time." ”
Guo Shengtong disagreed, "I don't have to worry about my sister." My sister is too busy to take care of herself, and she can still be idle for ****, this heart is really touching. For the sake of your heart, I would like to give you a word of advice, which is to save some energy for the misfortunes that lie ahead, so as not to be caught off guard and crushed at the first blow. ”
To this day, Guo Shengtong can still say such arrogant words, it seems that her dormant power should not be underestimated, but she has fallen to this point without seeing the slightest downfall, and it can also make the opponent troubled by it, Yin Lihua can't help but have a little admiration for this, but she also feels sad when she thinks about it, and in the end, she is not dead or alive, and she can't be famous for thousands of years, and she can't be recited endlessly. Yin Lihua said to Guo Shengtong before leaving: "I hope my sister can have the last laugh." "It's not that she's willing to admit defeat, but the victory and defeat have been divided, Guo Shengtong doesn't care if he doesn't want to admit defeat, it doesn't matter if he struggles, she can let him retire to the North Palace, which will naturally make him lose more, or even nothing. She said this does not mean that she wants to let Guo Shengtong go, but she hopes that she can bear all the consequences and die without regrets.
That night, Liu Xiu came to Changqiu Palace. Before going to bed, she suddenly asked Yin Lihua: "I heard that you went to the North Palace today." ”
Yin Lihua's eyes suddenly flashed with shadows, but she calmly replied: "I suddenly remembered my sister, so I went to take a look." Uncle Wen asked, but worried that I would not be good for my sister? ”
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Definitely." I'm just a little confused. She has repeatedly harmed you in the past, and if you want to take revenge, I have nothing to say. With your character, if you had done it a long time ago, you would have done it frankly and openly, and you would not be taboo with me, but you didn't. Suddenly, I heard that you were going to the North Palace, and I was worried about what she did to you. ”
Yin Lihua looked sideways at Liu Xiu, and was very surprised. After being silent for a while, she said: "Jing'er's mother Fu is her sister's person, and now the concubine is very estranged from Jing'er. ”
Liu Xiu heard this for the first time, he didn't pay attention to it in the past, he couldn't help but feel a little indebted when he thought about it, and at the same time it also made him angry, he didn't expect Guo Shengtong to be imprisoned and have such ability, it was really difficult to feel at ease. "Whatever you do," he said, "I have no objection. ”
Liu Xiu's sentence made Yin Lihua even more surprised than Fang Cai, she couldn't help but wonder if Liu Xiu really trusted herself, or whether Liu Xiu really had a dead heart on Guo Shengtong. Of course, she didn't ask this, but said: "Maybe this is retribution, the concubine made King Zhongshan and His Majesty the same passers-by, and today Jing'er and the concubine can only do this." ”
Yin Lihua's words made Liu Xiu sigh again, and he also felt distressed for her kindness, he knew very well that he and Liu Fu had become like today, father and son are not father and son, and monarchs and ministers are not monarchs and ministers, all of which are the cause and effect of the two of them, and have nothing to do with Yin Lihua. He could only repeat the old words, saying, "This has nothing to do with you, no need to blame yourself." Jing'er, I'll figure it out. ”
"Nope." Yin Lihua refused without thinking about it, because she felt that it was because of her that caused today's bitter fruit, and she had to solve it herself. "As the saying goes, the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and the concubine herself can handle it. Besides, Uncle Wen has a lot of opportunities, so there is no need to bother about it. If Uncle Wen is free, you can care about Qiang'er and Fu'er, after all, they are thousands of miles away, and you and your sister are not by their side, so they must be very worried. ”
Liu Xiu thought so, so he began to think about one day to see them. At the beginning, deposing Guo Shengtong and letting them go to their fiefdoms was just to avoid causing some unnecessary bloody disputes, stay away from the land of right and wrong, and be the best for each other, Liu Xiu thought so. It's just that I haven't been to see them for so long, and I really shouldn't.
On June 19, Liu Xiu changed Liu Fu, the king of Zhongshan, to the title of King Pei. Appointed Guo Kuang as the Great Honglu and went to Guo Kuang's mansion again. Liu Xiu has been to Guo Kuang's mansion many times, rewarded gold silk, and it is extremely rich, so Luoyang people call Guo Kuang's family "Golden Cave".
In winter, on October 20, Liu Xiu successively went to Lu, Donghai, Chu, and Pei.
Liu Xiu suddenly decided to inspect the fiefdoms of the kings, after all, it was too sudden, and no one knew the true meaning, but since the Son of Heaven only said that he missed it, everyone could only believe it.
Standing on the city wall, Yin Lihua watched Liu Xiu's chariot drifting away, and her heart began to float uneasily like a cloud in the sky, unstable. After a long time, she silently turned around and prepared to go back. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw an unexpected figure, and the heart that I thought could not be shocked actually rippled.
The two stood there and looked at each other for a while, Deng Yufang slowly walked towards Yin Lihua, and after saluting, Deng Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to Yin Lihua: "I never thought that Weichen and the queen would be the same." ”
When Yin Lihua heard this, she smiled slightly, turned around, looked out of the city, and said, "Marquis Gaomi, what do you mean by your majesty's move?" ”
Deng Yu looked into the distance, was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is hidden this time, there is no trace to be found, and it is very difficult to understand. ”
Yin Lihua slowly turned her head sideways and looked at Deng Yu with a smile: "It's not hard to figure out, but it's hard to say." ”
When Deng Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly.
Yin Lihua smiled and said, "Maybe when the Jedi counterattack from the palace and force the Empress Dowager Pei to abdicate, Your Majesty will already be on guard against me. In the past, the dispute between the palace and the Empress Dowager Pei, even if Your Majesty has pity on me, it can't withstand his world. Now the palace is sharp, Zhuang Er stands in the position of the prince, if the palace has bad intentions, lest the Empress Dowager Zhongshan and her son suffer its misfortune, His Majesty dismissed the sons of the Empress Dowager Pei to his fiefdom. Now that I have inspected the fiefdom in person, I just want to see with my own eyes whether they are safe. After all, His Majesty is still not at ease with the palace or the crown prince. Liu Xiu was so kind to her proposal, which made Yin Lihua suspicious, maybe Liu Xiu was actually like she didn't trust him.
Deng Yu was silent about this, he actually agreed with what Yin Lihua said, but he didn't know what to say, what he said about Liu Xiu was not, he didn't have the courage, but he never judged others behind people. Liu Xiu established Liu Zhuang as the crown prince, half of which recognized Liu Zhuang's ability, and half of which was also forced by the situation, and the driving force behind this situation was indispensable to the shadow of the Yin family, he could know, how could Liu Xiu not know that the influence of the Yin family was so great, it should be beyond Liu Xiu's expectations, and the hidden dangers of foreign relatives interfering in politics continued. Even though he understood and knew the danger, he still said: "Even if the sky is falling apart, Weichen is also at this moment. ”
When Yin Lihua heard this, she immediately looked at Deng Yu with an incredulous expression. (To be continued.) )
