The next day, dawn broke in the east.

Two people, one bed, one chair. The lips of the person with the heat dissipation towel on the forehead of the phoenix couch gradually became bloody, and the one leaning on the chair slept deeply, and the bed table was placed with cold water, and there were traces of water stains in the corner of the case, which showed the fatigue of taking care of it all night.

The hour was as promised, but the palace maid did not wake up the two after she came in. Clean up the basin, wipe the smooth surface, and finally leave quietly, slightly open the door, and leave the queen and the concubine in the house to continue to sleep peacefully.

Outside the hall, the concubines greeted as usual.

The palace maid guarding the door apologized to the concubines who came early: "Ladies and gentlemen, the queen was suddenly infected with the autumn cold last night, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get up and wait for you this morning." ”

So there was a lot of discussion, especially the people who visited the queen after dinner, and the queen looked very energetic at that time, how could she say that she was sick?

Another step stopped at the main gate of the temple.

Lotus steps came slowly, the steps shook golden and crisp, and in the face of the arrival of powerful celebrities, the palace maid then flattered and hypocritically said: "Concubine Shen, the queen suddenly fell ill this morning, so please be dismissed, it is difficult for Niangniang to arrive so early." ”

Sick?

Hearing something unexpected that didn't match his previous life, Shen Shuzhao subconsciously didn't take it seriously.

is a good person, walking the same life as in the previous life, and it is impossible to say that he will say that he will say goodbye.

Could it be that the queen knew that the conspiracy had been exposed, so she simply closed the door and disappeared?

No, she's not that kind of person.

With doubts, Shen Shuzhao went to Changle Palace with the concubines and asked the queen mother to pay a salute.

In the Yongshou Palace, there are two rows of rosewood chairs, but only one place is vacant.

The queen and the concubine were both absent from different sessions.

Shen Shuzhao couldn't hold back his gaze repeatedly wandering on the empty chair, these two ...... What's going on?

The queen of the love beads worn by the eldest sister will definitely be able to see through it, but on the night after the eldest sister received it, they all avoided all the invitations and never came forward to show it-

The more Shen Shuzhao thought about it, the more she felt that there seemed to be something wrong......

"Concubine Shen."

The Queen Mother called her lovingly from the seat.

"Yes." Shen Shuzhao replied in time that the Queen Mother's orders could not be missed.

"You guys disperse first, Concubine Shen stays and talks to the mourning family."

"The concubine is retired."

Everyone retreated, Shen Shuzhao, as the niece of the Queen Mother, had plenty of reasons to stay, she approached the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said gently: "The New Year is approaching, there will be an annual meeting in the palace at that time, you are the only favorite concubine of the Shen family, everyone's expectations are pinned on you, the mourning family will give you the opportunity to accompany the emperor more, you have to grasp it." ”

Her respect for Shen Shuzhao can be said to surpass anyone else.

"The emperor will be very busy during the Chinese New Year, you must say more words to be considerate of him, the mourning family remembers that he likes to eat Shouwang cake, Shao-style eight treasure cakes and the like, you have to cook for him personally, by the way, he is about eight years old and loves to eat the corn porridge made by the mourning family for him, but I don't know if he still likes it now...... You have to come to the Yongshou Hall recently, and the mourning family will teach you how to do it. ”

"Queen Mother......" Shen Shuzhao looked embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

"Well, what's wrong?" The Queen Mother was puzzled.

Although Shen Shuzhao was cowardly, he still replied seriously: "What the Queen Mother teaches her concubine to do, it is better for the Queen Mother to do it for the emperor herself." ”

I didn't expect her to say this, and the Queen Mother fell into a loner.

"The Chinese New Year is supposed to be the family first, and the family is headed by the relationship between parents and children, the queen mother is the mother of the son of heaven, but the queen mother and the emperor have been estranged because of the Xiao family's provocation in the past six months. The concubine has been with the emperor for a long time, and understands that the emperor's heart is not a person who will not ignore the love between mother and son, although he has little conversation with the queen mother, but he still thinks about the queen mother in his heart, but I don't know what the queen mother thinks of him...... If the emperor is busy with the courtiers, the queen mother sends someone to send the joy of childhood, maybe the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother will break the ice because of the New Year? Shen Shuzhao said sincerely.

The hand was held by the warm palm, it was the Queen Mother. She looked at Shen Shuzhao with satisfaction, "If you can think about it so far, you are still careful." ”

"The concubine body just said what she should say as a son. The Shen Mansion is supported by the Queen Mother, and the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven is the first to bear the brunt, the concubine is a concubine, in the Wei Dynasty with filial piety as the sky, how can the relationship between men and women be more important than the relationship between mother and son? ”

"Good boy, now that I think about it, the mourning family chose you to enter the palace that day, which was really the most correct choice they made." The Queen Mother said kindly.

Exactly the same words......

Shen Shuzhao's eyes inadvertently darkened, in her previous life, the Queen Mother also said the same thing to her. It was only later, after the Shen Mansion strongly recommended the eldest sister to enter the palace, they had a rift, and finally ended up being given death by the Queen Mother with her failure. Enemy, Wei Yang's mother, enemy, Wei Yang's mother......

She was gradually enveloped in melancholy.

The Queen Mother gave instructions to the female imperial chief, and then turned her head and said to her: "Shuzhao, you can go back, the mourning family has not made a meal for a long time, and the hands are fast and rusty, and you need to recall some things, and you have almost forgotten how you cooked meals for the emperor who was still the fourth prince every day." ”

"The queen mother, please be busy, the concubine will not be disturbed." After Shen Shuzhao said, he consciously bowed down and retreated.

Leaving the Eternal Longevity Palace, every step she took seemed very preoccupied.

Remembering last night-

At that time, the emperor rushed to Bailu Palace with the imperial doctor, and there was a small pinch of red on the case in front of Wei Yang, which was bewitching in color. "It's a tiny powder that they pulled out from the inside of their love beads." Shen Shuzhao explained to them.

The old imperial physician stepped forward to examine it, and they gathered behind them to wait for an answer. He took out a small pot with wine brew from his sleeve and poured it into the bottle, and the aroma of wine suddenly overflowed. What followed was a special smell stronger than the aroma of wine, and everyone in the room covered their noses and mouths for fear of inhaling a little bit of it.

"Don't worry, this little fragment can't be scattered." The old imperial doctor soothed people's hearts.

"I was in a hurry to pick it up and deliver it a few days ago, so I only identified this medicine as Rao Qing Zhu, so is it consistent with the medicine that appeared in the palace in the past?" The emperor asked.

"Beichen is sure that this medicine is the same as what was once used on Li Roufei."

Li Roufei......

Shen Shuzhao had heard a lot of her rumors in this life, but in fact, she didn't know this person at all in her previous life, and she rarely heard people mention her when she was reborn in the palace, if she hadn't befriended the palace people of Changle Palace, she might not have known about this person. And I heard that it seems that this Li Rou Concubine fell out of favor because of the use of love wine, and finally cursed the emperor with witchcraft in the sealed palace, and was found out by the Queen Mother and ordered a bloody slaughter of the palace.

But Shen Shuzhao looked at the emperor's expression, not at all like the appearance of being assassinated by a poisonous woman, what is going on?

"This thing has been destroyed by the whole country since that year, and a heavy punishment has been issued to stipulate that the fireworks territory is no longer allowed to be used, how can the Xiao Mansion get it?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the manufacturing process of the love wine is cumbersome, and the formula is passed down from the Yan Kingdom, if you spend a lot of money to invite the famous doctors of the Yan Kingdom, you will be able to get it, but the circulation channel is small, the supervision is strict, and only the famous nobles dare to close the door in private."

"Since he is a famous doctor in Yan Kingdom, he wants to come out with a lot of silver taels, right? It really took a lot of money to bring down my Xiao Mansion. ”

"Niangniang, in fact, as long as these medicine primers are not exposed to alcohol, the effect will not be great. You don't like to drink alcohol on weekdays, so this medicine may be useful, not to mention that it is not integrated into the wine, it will only promote the fragrance of life, the closer the smell of the person is easy to numb, can not move, the place of fireworks is often given to the Qinglou woman, just to cater to the preferences of the guests. In fact, these are all made by the concubines of the Yan court in order to please King Yan, and King Yan is happy to sing and dance, enjoy the wine pond and meat forest, he likes such things. ”

Mo Forget and the others in the room showed unbearable looks.

Originally...... That's right.

It is not to make the two emotional, but to make one party drunk and fall down......

The emperor said: "What the doctor said and you have heard it clearly, today's matter will end here, no one is allowed to say anything about this matter made by Queen Xiao, and it is strictly confidential." ”

"Bechen understands."

After this edict, the emperor concealed what Queen Xiao had stabbed out, and they did not have the idea of moving the Xiao family for the time being.

After the old imperial doctor left, Wei Yang motioned for Mo Forget and they also withdrew. After only three people were left in the house, the emperor slammed his fist on the case and sneered: "Li Roufei's matter is just a fake show, are these famous surnames really too much to extricate themselves?" ”

"Fake?" She didn't know much.

"Alas......" the emperor said, "What I am going to say next is also the reason why I ordered them to retreat, Li Roufei is a noble lady in the palace under the imperial sister, born in a martial family, and her father is a general in Zhenbei. At that time, the queen mother needed the power of the military attaché, so she took a fancy to her in the power of the imperial sister, and she already had a sweetheart at that time, and they loved each other only to be proposed. The queen mother wanted to marry her to the son of the Shen Mansion as a concubine, but she refused, and in a fit of anger, the queen mother sent someone to make the young man walk and be robbed and killed in the night. Because of the pressure of the queen mother, no one dared to propose to her, and the family did not agree to become a monk, in desperation, I used the position of concubine to temporarily recruit her into the palace. Unexpectedly, the queen mother hated Li Rou Concubine who made her unable to gain power, and the matter of love wine started from her. I and the imperial sister tried to protect her, and they also carried a lot of faint reputation at the beginning, and finally the queen mother framed her to make Wu Zhu, wanting to slaughter the palace to vent her anger, I sent someone to take advantage of the chaos to send her out of the palace, which is considered to be the end. ”

It turned out that Li Roufei had such an experience, no wonder she had never heard of her in her previous life.

"Where is she now?"

"Out of the White Mountain, I went into hiding."

"It's a good place, there is an imperial tomb on Changbai Mountain, and the royal family needs to go to Changbai Mountain Villa to worship every winter, so that it is much more convenient for you to visit and take care of her. The plum blossoms there bloomed the most beautifully, she escaped from her family, escaped from the queen mother, and perhaps that place could best allow her to recuperate for the rest of her life. ”

"The sweetheart Langjun was murdered and soon forced to marry a concubine, this kind of experience is changed to anyone, I am afraid that I will be depressed in the future and will not be happy in the end, how can I recuperate in the future? I can only keep her alive, but I have never been able to untie the knot in her heart. ”

Alas......

is also a woman, why is the Queen Mother so cruel to Li Roufei?

Shen Shuzhao was never able to understand.

Half an hour later, she sighed in her heart, in the capital, her fate hung at the feet of the emperor, who knew that in the deep palace, the real master in power would govern the world with benevolence, or with residual profits?

"I never wanted to fight with the queen mother, really. But the queen mother had to sacrifice a lot of innocent people in order to fight against other powerful ministers, and I can only follow her, and I can save one by one......"

Just this sentence made Shen Shuzhao firm today, let the queen mother and the emperor take the initiative to show goodwill.

That's why she said something like that.

After remembering the events of last night, all that came to her mind was these words-

The people's homes are difficult to decide.

The emperor's family, the gods are difficult to ignore.

In her previous life, she and the Queen Mother were intolerable, but in this life, the Queen Mother was happy with her.

Life and death, love and hate, seem to be a matter of change in a moment.

When the scene reappeared, a completely different ending lay ahead, and she couldn't contain the panic brought to her by the Queen Mother's thoughtful words. It turned out that he still hadn't completely forgotten the pain of the past.

When walking, she didn't pay attention to the road under her feet, and when Shen Shuzhao went downstairs, she suddenly stepped on the air, but fortunately, she was supported by Xilu, so that she would not fall. "Is the master alright?" Xi Lu said in a hurry.

"It's fine." Shen Shuzhao stopped.

"The master is in a trance, do you need a doctor?" ”

"No need, the Imperial Doctor can see something."

"But the master's ankle is bruised......"

"Silly girl, what is this bruise?" Shen Shuzhao couldn't blame this little girl who was still in the prime of her life. In fact, if there was no such thing as rebirth, she would only be seventeen years old at this time, but now, she has matured to more than twenty years, and a small injury is really nothing.

As you get older, you have more to think about.

The hatred of life and death between the Queen Mother and her in her previous life, she plans not to mention it to anyone in this life no matter what.

Especially Wei Yang.

She will carry this secret with her and guard it forever until death.

If you want to ask her why?

The answer has long been obvious.

If Wei Yang's lifelong wish is to eliminate the estrangement between the emperor and the queen mother, if this can make her unravel her perennial melancholy brow and finally smile......

She's going to do her best.

She wants to keep Wei Yang's good looks.

Rather give up everything. Collateral hatred.

At this time, the dormitory of the Jiaofang Palace.

The sun is dazzling.

The nightmare is washed away.

In front of you, there is a familiar bright light; What I don't know is the room I'm in.

Concubine Yuan slowly opened her eyes, a strange place, an unfamiliar bed, but the phoenix dance gold embroidery on the top of her head clearly reminded her of what kind of place this is.

Feeling a pain in her head, Concubine Yuan shook her eyes, and the scenery that seemed to be blurred by the fog gradually became clearer, the bench next to the bed, the dark plum corcasse, and the green silk waisted woman who fell asleep on the chair......

It's her.

Shen Zhuangzhao thought that he was wrong, but the queen was really in front of him.

At the same time, she felt the weight of a cold towel on her forehead, and looked at the queen, who was guarding here.

A qiē, it seems to be clear.
