Zhirong and Li You looked at each other, but no one dared to make a sound, and the two stretched out their heads and saw that Mama Li, who was next to the Queen Mother, was sitting on a wicker chair, and on the couch opposite sat a beautiful woman who seemed to be only thirty years old at most.

She was dressed simply, but the fabric of the dress was very valuable, and the embroidery was also very exquisite, with a small embroidery in her hand, her eyes didn't lift her eyes when she listened to her grandmother, this person was Xia Yunshang.

I couldn't help but be excited to see Master Zhirong here, and at the same time sighed that Master was so beautiful. Fortunately, Li You tugged at the corner of her clothes to signal her to calm down, so she didn't have impulsiveness. The two of them continued to observe the situation inside.

At this time, I heard Mama Li continue: "When the Queen Mother asked you if you were willing to be the emperor's concubine, you didn't want to, so you had to be the head of the Shang Palace Bureau. The Queen Mother cherished you, so she agreed, you are also quite talented, and the embroidery is a must. But who would have thought that something like that would backfire. How can you be worthy of the Queen Mother? ”

Xia Yunshang stopped the embroidery in her hand and slowly raised her head, looking at her mother with faint eyes: "The Queen Mother knew that my crush was Lord Ji, the commander of Yulinwei back then, but she wanted me to choose between the emperor and the monk's palace." If I choose the emperor, I will fail Lord Ji, and I can only enter the Shang Palace Bureau. I'd rather die alone than with someone I don't love. ”

Zhirong had never heard of such a thing in the palace, and it must have been a secret in the palace. No wonder after so many years, the emperor still has to find the master, and he is under house arrest, it turns out that he has affection for the master.

The name of this palace was originally derived from Master's name.

"But you reneged on your promise to the Queen Mother and eloped with Ji Fan!" Mama Li snorted coldly.

Xia Yunshang was not as kind as just now this time, but her eyes were full of pain and her tone was aggravated. "Am I breaking my promise? Ji Fan has rescued him countless times, but the emperor actually poisoned his diet, if I hadn't found out in time, he would have been dead a long time ago. If we were still in the palace, he would surely die. We had to flee overnight. ”

Mama Li sighed, as if she was thinking back to that night. The emperor was furious when he heard the news, and used Yu Linwei to hunt down Xia Yunsheng overnight, and blocked all the palaces, and no concubine was allowed to take a step out of the gate of his palace.

When she heard the news, Xia Yunshang had already escaped from the palace, and then went out of the capital smoothly. The Queen Mother was so angry that night that she beat her chest, and she muttered again and again: "Why bother." Why. ”

"Ji Fan sent me to a safe place, but he was seriously injured and left ten days after escaping the capital. Later, my personal grandmother also died. ”

Xia Yunsheng's two lines of sad tears kept flowing down: "We once said that we would go south and north together to see the beautiful scenery of the world." However, he died on a modest fishing boat. How unfair fate has been to us. Let me watch my beloved's body temperature fade away. Close your eyes slowly. ”

Mama Li said coldly: "Then why didn't you go with me at that time?" What are you still alive for? ”

Xia Yunshang sneered: "He exchanged his life for my life, if I commit suicide, I will really be sorry for him." I buried him in the mountains near Kaizhou, and I think the emperor must have thought that I had fled to Tiannan and Haibei, and he didn't think that I was in Kaizhou. ”

Zhirong remembered the friend Xia Yunshang worshipped, it turned out that it was not a friend but a beloved. And the other tomb should be the resting place of Xia Yunsheng's personal grandmother.

It turned out that the master had such a heart-wrenching love, so miserable and good, she became a village girl incognito in order to cherish the lives of those two people. If Jin Zixuan hadn't found her, maybe she would have spent her whole life there.

"Hmph, what you say is reasonable, but why don't you be honest and do what kind of flowers your village woman plants, which is eye-catching. Don't you want to return to the glory and wealth of the palace? Mama Li snatched the sample embroidered by Xia Yunshang: "You are just a vulgar woman, greedy for glory and wealth, use this trick to let the emperor find you, and now you have what you want." Although it was not sealed, it was the treatment of a mother. ”

"Which lady have you ever seen trapped in a secret room?" Xia Yunshang got off the bed and knocked on the wall everywhere: "It's like an iron wall, and the prison in Dali Temple is not so strong." ”

Mama Li stood up and opened the lid of the bamboo basket: "Yunshang, I grew up watching you and the emperor." Now that you and the emperor are in such pain, it is better to end it, otherwise you will be imprisoned here for the rest of your life. A few plates of side dishes were brought out, and finally a small bottle of wine was taken out.

However, in the conversation just now, Zhi Rongcai didn't believe that Mama Li had come to drink with Master. And what does she mean by the end? Zhirong couldn't help but get nervous, Li You was afraid that she would make a noise and hold her hand tightly, but she didn't notice it at all.

Xia Yunshang glanced at the wine and said sharply: "You dare?" ”

Mama Li sat there leisurely, and took out a golden dead scroll from the basket. "The Queen Mother left a posthumous photo before leaving, and if you are still alive, I will give you a cup of poisonous wine! This is for the emperor. She poured a glass of wine and handed it over: "Yi is here to be." Do you dare to disobey? There is no pain in drinking this wine. ”

"You must have shown this decree to the emperor a long time ago, but the emperor ignored it, didn't he? If you want me to die? Don't think about it. Xia Yunshang flicked her sleeves, knocked over the glass of wine, and returned to the couch.

Mama Li gritted her teeth in anger, but she had no words to refute. But as Xia Yunshang said, the emperor didn't seem to see it after seeing Yizhi, and he didn't kill Xia Yunshang at all. She finally found a chance to come here tonight. wants to fulfill the Queen Mother's last wish.

Poison? Zhirong really wanted to step forward and slap Mama Li twice. However, she is not an impulsive person, but looks at Li You. The other party was quite embarrassed when he came into contact with her eyes.

It's just that a momentary curiosity touched the taboo of his father, and a sadomasochistic relationship many years ago. He felt that his face was a little hot, and he didn't know if it was the effect of drinking alcohol before or shame.

It has always been normal for emperors to compete for the people and things they like, but Li You has been a good boy with a naughty appearance and a pure heart since he was a child, and he can't accept such a thing.

"You'd better go back, don't waste your time. You won't see me die in your lifetime. Xia Yunshang no longer paid attention to Mama Li and continued to embroider.

But Mama Li was so angry that she rushed towards Xia Yunsheng with the wine jug, pinched Xia Yunsheng's throat fiercely, and wanted to pour the poisonous wine in her hand into the other party's mouth.

"Master!" Zhirong couldn't hold it anymore and shouted out.

This sound made Mama Li's hand tremble, and the poisonous wine fell to the ground. Li You immediately flew over and knocked Mama Li unconscious before she could see the two of them.

"Master, are you alright? Did you drink poisoned wine? Are there any injuries? Zhirong pulled Xia Yunshang up and smoothed her back.

Her appearance was completely unexpected by Xia Yunsheng, and it took a long time for the other party to react: "Rong'er? How did you find here? She looked at Li You again. You'er, you've grown so big. Don't remember your aunt? ”

When Zhirong was stunned, he saw Li You salute Xia Yunsheng: "Auntie, I asked my father before, but he said that you are dead. I didn't expect You'er to see you! ”

Xia Yunshang was very pleased. Li You was the youngest, so he was closest to her at the beginning, so he called her aunt. And after so many years, it is really rare for this child to still have such a heart.

"You'er, I'm glad to see you grow up. I heard you're getting married. It's really an adult. ”

Li You was surprised and asked, "Auntie, how do you know?" After asking, I regretted it. Although Xia Yunshang was imprisoned, the furnishings in this secret room can be compared with Concubine Wen, how could the emperor not come.

Sure enough, Xia Yunshang said: "Your father occasionally comes to play chess with me." Talking about the past and the present, I mentioned your marriage last time. You'er, thanks to you taking care of Zhirong these days, otherwise I wouldn't have seen this apprentice. ”

Zhirong knelt down: "Master, the apprentice didn't listen to the master's teachings to lead to today's results." Be careful in the future. ”

"Get up." Xia Yunshang held Zhirong's right arm. looked at Li You thoughtfully, and then sighed softly: "The word love is the most harmful, but it is what many people desire but can't reach." Rong'er, I thought you could avoid strife and be safe, but now it seems that you have been involved. ”

Zhirong wondered in her heart, what did Master mean by this? Could it be that she already knows about herself and Yanhua?

"Jin Yidan can only be taken out by the Southern Xinjiang Duan Clan, and the only one who can make Duan Ziyan merciful is her precious son." Xia Yunsheng's words broke Zhirong's heart, which shocked both Zhirong and Li You.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yunsheng was locked up in this place and was very familiar with the things outside, definitely not just from the emperor's mouth, someone must have given her information. Otherwise, where did all those news come from? However, although Yubi was in contact with Xia Yunsheng before, he didn't know Xia Yunsheng's current location now.

"Auntie, what should Mama Li do?" Li You is now worried that Mama Li will be in great trouble as soon as she wakes up. And Li You, the old mother next to the Queen Mother, is really difficult to deal with.

Xia Yunshang glanced at Mama Li and said calmly: "She has always liked to live alone, and she often tells people that she wants to serve the Queen Mother, so it is better to follow her wishes." There was enough wine at the bottom of the splinter bottle. ”

Li You looked at his aunt who he hadn't seen for many years in surprise, and suddenly felt strange. But Xia Yunsheng's solution is the most appropriate. If Mama Li is let go, Mama Li's temperament will definitely not give up and she will come to Xia Yunshang again.

"You'er, I'm just making a suggestion, you are the prince, you should order such a thing." Xia Yunshang then came to this sentence again.

Zhirong was shocked, Master wanted Li You to kill Mama Li. "Master. Mama Li is highly respected, and King Ming's order is afraid that it is inappropriate. ”

Xia Yunshang shook his head: "As a prince who has no heart but is ruthless enough, sooner or later he will die under the sword of his own siblings, you can kill the enemy on the battlefield." How can you be so soft-hearted to a grandmother. You'er, do you want to be a chick that never grows up and hide under the wings of your mother for the rest of your life? ”

Li You said slowly: "Mama Li's imperial order is to kill innocents privately and stab them to death!" ”

Xia Yunshang smiled and leaned over: "Obey orders!" As he spoke, he squatted down and poured the poisonous wine into Mama Li's mouth. After you leave, you will leave her in the room, and shake the remaining wine in an empty bottle and put it beside her. ”

This series of actions and words came down as smoothly as flowing water, and Xia Yunshang was still so calm. Zhirong secretly sighed that the previous master had to become a different kind of person after returning to the palace. But Master is still Master. She has her own reasons for doing things, and besides, this Mama Li will be a disaster sooner or later.

"Master, you can leave with us." Zhirong thought that since he came in, he would rescue people by the way.

Li You also said: "Yes, aunt, I can arrange for a credible person to send you out overnight." ”

Both of them thought that Xia Yunshang would happily accept it, but she shook her head: "Since I am back, I don't plan to hide in Tibet anymore." Rest assured, I'm safe here. You'er, you go deal with Mama Li, Rong'er, I have something to tell you alone. ”

In the Shang Palace, who can order a prince like this in Jingtang, I am afraid that there is only his own master. Li You took Mama Li away. Zhirong sat down beside Xia Yunsheng.

"Master, I've been looking for you, but I don't know where to look for it, my own ability is meager, and I can't save Master, so I'm ashamed. But don't worry, I'll find a way. ”

Xia Yunshang interrupted her, "I'm glad you have filial piety." But I really won't leave, I still have a wish to be fulfilled, and when I have a wish, I will go back to accompany him. ”

Wish? Zhirong thought about it, the person that Master hates the most is the emperor, does she want revenge? But why are you still so kind to Li You? The concern for Li You just now is definitely not fake.

"Rong'er, your mother Shen family is the descendant of Shen Zhihua of the Founding Shang Palace, do you know this?"

Zhirong was shocked, her mother's family was just a small family, and she would be the descendant of the founding Shanggong.

"Otherwise, where do you think the embroidery book came from? That was Shen Zhihua's life's work, and only the descendants of the Shen family could inherit it. Everyone thought that Shang Gong died of illness, but she was murdered by her best sister and had to escape from the palace. You don't want to hurt others, but others want to harm you. As he spoke, he raised Zhirong's right arm, his expression was very complicated.

It turns out that this is the case, whether it is the royal family or the people's retreat from Shen Zhihua, how can that beautiful young woman at the peak of her life easily let go of everything.

"Master, what exactly do you want to say?" Zhirong felt that Xia Yunshang was too wrong, and she was completely different from the master she knew before.

"Yanhua will definitely harm you for life, but there is another Li You who likes you." Xia Yunshang hugged Zhirong in her arms and said kindly: "You'er will become a climate in the future, you have to let go of Yanhua, otherwise Duan Ziyan will not let you have a good time, Yanhua is the mother, and she can't protect you." It's better to choose You'er, who is generous. ”

Seeing that Zhirong was stunned and didn't speak, Xia Yunshang thought she was worried about Qiu Manhua. "Qiu Manhua is just an ornament, as long as the emperor makes you a side concubine, Concubine Wen will not dare to have any objections, naturally, this will not be done until you become a female official."

Zhirong eased her nerves and looked at the master quietly, thinking that it was a happy reunion, but was this the result?

"Master, please forgive the apprentice for not being able to!" (To be continued.) )
