Chapter 180: Deng Zhu's Clan

In the dark sky, lightning and thunder roared, and the roaring thunder almost rolled against the scalp, and the wind with water struck, and the cold storm violently knocked on the window lattice, and swept the earth, grass and trees were swept into the palace room with the breath of rain and violence, and the flickering wind made the windows crackle, almost blowing out the four table lamps covered with white sarongs.

Yin Li stood on the steps of the Changqiu Palace, watching the palace people busy moving the things that were afraid of being poured by the rain into the palace room, letting the wind blow up the skirt and blowing the hair on the head, but they didn't bother to move the slightest. The chaotic mood has made her almost collapse, where can she care about herself. There have been nights like this before, when the nurse was still there, and she comforted her, but now who can help her with ideas and solutions? She sighed faintly and turned back to the hall in abrupt terms.

Deng Zhu is Yinli's maternal grandmother, but in terms of seniority, she is also Sui'er's elder. She was taken aback when she saw Lian'er, since the last time she entered the palace to meet Yin Li, she had never entered the palace again, and some things were not what she wanted. Yin Li only gave her one benefit, so that her son was promoted by two levels, which is already a great thing. But even if Yin Li is the queen, it is still controversial to enter the palace often, so she tries to avoid too much involvement with the queen.

Lian'er took her to walk in the middle of the road for a long time, then turned into another road, and finally turned around the direction to face the palace, before the plaque was hung, which was the "Changqiu Palace". Lian'er led her in through the side door, and a palace maid with a neat face in the courtyard was taking a plate of small fish bibimbap to feed the cat, and when she saw them, she hurriedly put down the plate and blessed Lian'er, and looked at Deng Zhu's face and body. Lian'er said: "It's so unruly, this is Niangniang's aunt, can the queen be free now, I'll take her up and kowtow." ”

The palace maid said: "It's going to rain, Niangniang is still standing at the door, watching Mr. Cui take care of their things, this will go in." Sister Lian'er waits. I'll go in and take a look. ”

After going in for a while, he came out immediately, turned around and opened the curtain: "Sister Lian'er, the queen called in." ”

Deng Zhu followed Lian'er in. The furnishings in the main room are not as good as to look closely, the palace maid led Lian'er and her to the east ear room, and rushed to the head to open the sprinkling curtain, Deng Zhu only felt that the heating was sandwiched with a thin fragrance to the face, and when he stepped in, he saw a person sitting on the couch. The head is full of emeralds, and the gold beads of the tired silk phoenix tremble and hang down to the sideburns. Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but Lian'er only blessed and said: "Niangniang, Deng Zhu's family has come to say goodbye to Niangniang!" ”

Although it was announced by the queen of the yin, it was said that he was here to ask for peace, this is the rule, and he must not be sloppy.

"Get up!" Yin Li still said lazily. Both of them thanked them and stood up, and the maid went out with a blessing. Yin Li looked at Deng Zhu's and said, "Grandmother, please sit down, Lian'er serves tea!" ”

Deng Zhu looked at Yin Li. Seeing that her expression was extremely lazy and haggard, and she seemed to be even worse than last time, she sighed: "Niangniang, what troubles have you encountered again?" ”

Yin Li said: "Grandmother, Li'er feels that she is useless. ”

"The queen can't say that, you are in charge of the six palaces and are a good helper of the emperor, how can you say that?" Deng Zhu said with his eyebrows raised.

"Your Majesty, where else do you put me, the queen, in his eyes, he has that Deng Sui in his heart."

Listening to Yin Li's grievances, Deng Zhu understood in his heart. She didn't do what she was taught to do last time. So he asked: "Did Niangniang ever ask the emperor for warmth and warmth, but did she ever be kind to the emperor?" Have you ever asked for peace in front of the emperor every day? ”

"This, no, he was annoyed when he saw this palace. When they met, there was no one else but to quarrel. Yin Li covered her face, and her heart was about to spasm with pain.

"Queen, you are the queen, the emperor's wife, no matter what, the emperor still has to take care of your face. You're sick and he's going to have to come and visit. You take something and food, the emperor has to eat, and it is natural for you to accompany you, so what are you worried about, queen? Last time, my grandmother told you to be a "virtuous". This word is the medicine that makes the emperor feel ashamed of you in his heart, as long as the emperor is ashamed, he will often come to your Changqiu Palace, this is what he has to do! ”

Yin Li listened stunned, she really didn't do these things. Deng Zhu said again: "Queen, the emperor is also a human being, you often show a deferential and gentle side by his side, a delicate and pitiful side, how can he not be tempted?" As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face when giving gifts! No matter how favored that Deng Guiren is, the emperor still has to take care of the queen after all. She is favored because she always acts in front of the emperor and is a good person, and the emperor naturally likes her. There will always be a day when people's beauty fades, and virtue is the one who conquers everything. ”

Yin Li sighed, "With my temperament, I won't do that play, she does know how to act, pretending to be virtuous in front of the emperor, who knows what ulterior motives are in her bones." The problem is that she is pregnant again now, and the emperor can't wait to spoil her. But the emperor rarely came to me once, even if he came, he didn't have the blessing of those women, and he was pregnant with a dragon heir. Without an heir, sooner or later I will be replaced by that slut in this palace. Grandmother, you say, did I pretend to be virtuous? ”

"Deng Guiren is pregnant with a dragon heir?" Deng Zhu was indeed taken aback, then Deng Sui was already favored, and now he has a child, it is like a tiger with wings, and Yin Li is really sad in the palace.

She frowned and thought, back then, she had competed with a concubine for favor, and the concubine was pregnant with a child first, so she asked her maid to anger the woman every day, and knocked over things intentionally or unintentionally, said some angry words, and went to the quarrel twice in three days, and sure enough, the woman was angry, tripped over something, and lost the baby. Later, he had two sons and stabilized his position.

But Deng Sui is not that kind of woman, and the emperor is by her side every day, and there are many maidservants and palace people to serve her, so making trouble like this will not only make Yin Li fall out of favor with Liu Zhao even more, but also may lose the status of the queen. How do you think of a safe way to achieve both worlds without startling the snake?

Seeing her frowning, Yin Li asked, "Grandmother, what are you thinking?" ”

Deng Zhu said: "The queen's virtue still has to be pretended, but now the problem is that you and her must be on the same line, if you are already behind, then you can't catch up, so the first thing is not to let her give birth to this child!" ”

Yin Li originally had such an idea in her heart, but as soon as she thought of Li Meiren and Song Jun back then, she gave up, she didn't want to live in the cold palace. So he said: "This method doesn't work, Li Meiren was killed by Song Jun and lost her child and life, the emperor was furious, if Song Jun didn't have an heir at that time, he would have died a long time ago." ”

Deng Zhu said: "So, I'm thinking of a perfect way, not only to let the emperor suspect you, but also to get rid of the slut and her child." ”

Yin Li said: "Then there is Grandmother Lao to think about." ”

Deng Zhu suddenly said: "There is a way, I don't know if it is feasible?" You can try it! ”

"What's the method?" Yin Li also came to his senses, and looked at Deng Zhu's with wide eyes and asked.

"I know a mage, as long as you get something from that person, you can control her mind, we don't have to do anything else, pregnant people, the most afraid of fright, fear, as long as she has nightmares, it won't be long before she will be in a trance, and when the time comes, as long as you push her a little, it will be done."

Yin Li was overjoyed, "Grandmother, this kind of thing can't be done in the palace, if it is done, once the emperor sends it out, Li'er will really be finished." So, can you do it at your grandmother's house? ”

Deng Zhu nodded, "It should be okay, as long as you get one of her things." ”

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the air was sticky like glue, like someone's hand on the chest, which made people breathless. Yin Li was overjoyed, she stood up, looked at the raindrops that were about to fall, but her heart was so happy that she wanted to fly. It's coming, it's finally coming, she wants Deng Sui to get the most tragic and painful torture in this life.

Deng Zhu said again: "Niangniang, it's just that you don't forget what the old man said, one must be a queen with both virtue and virtue, otherwise people will see the flaws, and I'm afraid that it won't be closed at that time." ”

"Hahaha!" Yin Li laughed wildly: "Don't worry, grandmother, for this purpose, I will pretend to be very similar, very similar, as long as one day I can make her miserable, I can do anything." ”

Not far away, there was a faint sound of wind whirling close to the ground, and a strange smell of dust flew away in the wind. Dense rain clouds gathered and covered the sky, and with each gust of wind, large green leaves and flowers fell out of nowhere. Falling under the red wall and blue tiles, there was a faint gloomy smell. The rain fell coldly, splashing the smell of dust, and the rain finally came, with a kind of oppressive wildness. The rain in early autumn is swift and cold, making people shudder.

Lian'er braved the rain and sent Deng Zhu out of the city in a carriage, although she was holding an umbrella, the rain still kept hitting her body, her face, shoes and socks were wet, and she was trembling all over, but she still sent Deng Zhu out of the palace gate. Seeing the carriage disappear outside the palace, he breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and returned in the rain.

Seeing her come back, Yin Li instructed Shuangxi: "Go and boil more hot water, and let Lian'er take a hot bath to get rid of the cold." If you hug it again, the bed will be thick and the quilt will cover her in the room. Also, ginger soup should be prepared. ”

Double happiness agreed repeatedly, and Meicao said with a smile: "It's still the mother who feels sorry for Miss Lian'er." ”

Yin Li nodded: "She has been with me for so many years, so naturally there is nothing that is not distressed." You have followed me for a long time, but you have not known my temperament, nor have you been faithful to me. I only feel sorry for the slave who is faithful to me, and if she dares to be disloyal to me in front of me, I will let her even die. ”

Meicao shivered and hurriedly followed Shuangxi out. Lian Cheng came out with a change of clothes, and saw her standing under the porch, the wet and heavy water around her through her clothes with a chill, as if it was about to soak her body together. The sky was as dark as late as night, and dozens of palace lamps in the courtyard under the corridor were fluttering in the rain, like ghost fires that flickered far and near, fluctuating.

Lian'er walked over, put on clothes for her, and watched the edges and corners of the palace gradually turn into dark but blurry thin silhouettes under the rain, and her heart was full of worry and confusion. (To be continued.) )
