Chapter 44: The Rebellion of the Concubines
"Caijuan, go and close the palace gate...... "The queen took the secret medicine presented by Li Wansi and said to Caijuan.
Li Wansi was on the side, and the queen glanced at each other, and didn't say anything more.
"Yes!" Caijuan lowered her head and slowly retreated to the outside of the queen's bedroom.
"Then you're on guard outside the door!" The queen instructed.
"Yes!"
"Remember! No one is allowed to enter without the orders of my mother and me! ”
Li Wansi also explained to Cai Juan.
Cai Juan did not agree to Li Wansi, and left on her own.
"Queen Mother, I have been preparing for many days, and at the last moment, it will be tonight......"
Li Wansi heard Caijuan's footsteps and walked away, turned his head and said to the queen.
"Mourning family, I have been looking forward to it for so long, and I have finally been able to fulfill my wish, may God bless me!"
The queen sat on the phoenix couch, holding the medicine bowl tightly, and raised her head to drink all the medicine residues......
Cai Juan has been serving the living and eating with the queen since he was a child, and later the queen married the king of Jin, Cai Juan as a dowry maid also followed up the Jin Wangfu, the master and servant are not very scheming, except for the princess in the Jin Wangfu, other female relatives are not even as good as the identity of the concubine, the king of Jin has been stationed in the border for a long time in the early years, so there has been no intrigue in the Jin Wangfu for many years.
Later, the princess of Jin finally conferred the seal of the crown after Xiao Jingming ascended the throne for half a month, and rightfully entered the East Palace.
They only knew that the prince and the king of Jin slowly estranged, and then the palace of the king of Jin gathered many ministers all day and night, and on the day the prince ascended the throne, the king of Jin led many guards to leave early, and never returned to the palace of the king of Jin that day......
In a daze, on the second day of the prince's enthronement ceremony, the big eunuch sent someone to the Jin Palace's palace to pick up the queen and Cai Juan into the palace, all the way the big eunuch led the way, and Qiao Shan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, personally guarded it, and Cai Juan still followed the queen sincerely.
Until recent years, the queen and Li Wansi have become closer and closer, and Caijuan has been reduced to a sweeping girl, so she can only stay outside the queen's palace and wait, waiting for the summons.
Every time she entered the queen's bedroom, Cai Juan felt a strange breath, at first the queen took medicine and did not shy away from everyone, slowly, the girls waiting around the palace were sent away by Li Wansi, and now, the queen's bedroom of Nuoda, only she is left with her side.
In recent days, it has been even more mysterious, the queen and Li Wansi don't know what to do, and the door of the queen's bedroom is closed all day and night.
And what slowly changed the intimacy between the queen and the master and servant of the colorful silk was this Li Wansi, who had been living in the nameless garden in the corner of the harem since the king of Jin ascended the throne.
When Xiao Jingming ascended the throne in Xiao Jingcheng, he led the Praetorian Guards to force the palace to quell the rebellion, and finally Xiao Jingming ascended the throne and became the emperor, although Xiao Jingcheng attracted evil demons into his body, but in the end he ended up with a description of destroying no one or a ghost.
For unknown reasons, Xiao Jingming has been imprisoning Xiao Jingcheng for life in the dungeon next to the palace annex and will not dispose of it.
As the former daughter of the abolished prince Xiao Jingcheng, Li Wansi was first rescued by Luo Xingmen's lord Yan Yuan, and at Xiao Jingcheng's enthronement ceremony, Li Wansi was used as a hostage by Xiao Yuancheng to coerce Xiao Jingcheng to obediently submit.
After Xiao Jingming became the emperor, he learned that Xiao Jingcheng had deep affection for Li Wansi, so he handed Li Wansi over to the queen for disposal. After Li Wansi cried, the queen felt pity and left Li Wansi in her bedroom.
Xiao Jingming's harem is like a wide cage, and Li Wansi has gradually cultivated into the only vision of the queen in this cage.
The time of the color silk and the queen every day is more and more restricted, the former queen, in the Jin Palace, embroidered with the color silk every day to enjoy the butterflies, each other to the mirror appliqué, like the master and servant, even sisters, and slowly, in the cold years of the harem, the color silk turned out to be the gatekeeper of the queen and Li Wansi.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month or when the full moon is high, Li Wansi will take charge of the sacrifices in the queen's bedroom, and the utensils, tributes, and ritual models of incense and worship are all handled by Li Wansi.
The blood of the red-capped crow, the winged butterfly, the root of the mandala flower, the dragon's blood crystal, the obsidian phoenix, the green jade tea tray...... In the eyes of the colored silk, the tributes that Li Wansi used to sacrifice all revealed an evil spirit, since he was a child in the big family, he has seen a lot of rare and strange treasures of colored silk, but Li Wansi has never heard of these utensils.
Under the guidance of Li Wansi, the queen bows and sacrifices every time, her heart is pious, and the etiquette model is not bad at all, regardless of wind and rain, and her heart is extremely sincere.
Cai Juan doesn't want the queen to fill in an heir for the emperor early, "Even if it's a princess, it's good!" Caijuan thought so.
It is said that Nanyuan was repaired by the emperor for the righteous sister, and it is hearsay that the emperor will be named a fairy concubine after finding the righteous sister, and she will be placed in the Nanyuan Palace for a long time.
Cai Juan is worried about this kind of rumors, the queen and the emperor have long been married to the king, and the king of Jin has become the emperor, which is the blessing of their master and servant, and they have not yet waited for the prince to come into the world, how can such a great blessing allow outsiders to take the lead?
In the entire palace, only Li Wansi and the queen knew what secrets were hidden behind this sacrifice. In other words, only Li Wansi knows where she is going to lead the queen and what challenges she faces.
Cai Juan finally walked to the palace gate, before closing the palace gate, Cai Juan habitually looked at Xiao Jingming's bedroom until the only way to the queen's bedroom for a while, the end of the road was still empty, except for the wind, Xiao Jingming's bedroom did not bring anything to the queen.
Caijuan looked at the road and looked a little like a resentful woman returning from her husband, and this kind of resentful eyes and expectant look were the only things she could do for the queen.
"Wansi, I'm so cold......"
The queen's voice was so weak that only the grinding of her throat remained.
"Queen Mother, the medicinal power is working, bear with me!"
Li Wansi sprinkled the appropriate amount of medicinal powder into the pool where the queen was bathing, and talked to the queen perfunctorily.
Wan Si...... These days, I feel like I'm ...... The skin is smooth and ...... Very ......"
The queen shivered coldly, and the hot water in the pool continuously sent the juice from the medicinal powder into every pore of the queen.
"This is the ice muscle jade dew square, the queen mother has this ice muscle penetrating the bones, and she will definitely be able to win the emperor's favor!"
Li Wansi sprinkled the last medicine into the water, and the queen finally fainted from the cold......
Li Wansi was optimistic about the heat, let the medicinal soup soak the queen's body, and pressed the queen's head into the medicinal soup...... (To be continued.) )
