663 Death of incense
The queen thought that she was going to die this time, and when the scissors were getting closer and closer to her, she thought of the prince, of Princess Shuhua, of her youngest son, and finally of the old sage.
Did the old sage know such an ending, so let her send Concubine Li on the road?
"Niangniang-" The palace maid she brought in looked frightened, jumped forward, jumped towards Concubine Li, and hugged Concubine Li.
And at this time, I saw that it was only a fist away from the queen's neck.
The queen was so frightened that she sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and she didn't even have time to stay away from Concubine Li.
Concubine Li and the palace maid twisted together, Concubine Li had a weapon in her hand, but the palace maid's martial arts skills were higher, and soon Concubine Li was at a disadvantage.
The queen touched her neck, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, she looked at Concubine Li, who was restrained by the palace maid, and then looked at the palace maid who fell first. The maid fell to the ground, her clothes covered in blood, and blood began to appear on the ground.
There was an anxious voice outside, calling "Niang Niang......
The queen's flustered mind slowly came to her senses, and she heard that it was the voice of the old lady beside her, thinking that they had heard something, and guessed that something was wrong inside.
She put her hands on the ground and slowly stood up.
At this time, her legs were still weak, she gritted her teeth and held on, and shouted, "Let Tongyue send two people in." ”
There was an answer outside, and soon two palace maids with light hands and feet came over.
When the two came in, they saw the palace maid who fell to the ground, and the palace maid who was pressing on Concubine Li.
The two glanced at each other, and one hurriedly walked to the queen's side to protect her. One walked up to Concubine Li, clicked Concubine Li a few times, and pulled Concubine Li aside.
The queen clenched her fists and looked coldly at Concubine Li, who could not move, and then moved her gaze to the dagger that Concubine Li had used to stab her on the ground.
She wants to use a dagger to draw the face of this slut!
This is the queen's thoughts, and she can't bear that Concubine Fang Cai Li wants to kill her.
But she was the queen after all, and she finally calmed down. looked at the two palace maids who restrained Concubine Li. "Send her on her way."
Concubine Li's face changed, and she looked at the queen with anxiety and disbelief.
The queen was looked at like this and slowly calmed down.
She looked at Concubine Li. A smile slowly appeared. Concubine Li took scissors and stabbed at the palace. This palace will truthfully return to the saint. At that time, Concubine Li will no longer be there, and the saint will not be able to embody the majesty, and will definitely treat Li Shangshu's Mansion well. ”
Concubine Li listened. His eyes were split, and he looked at the queen fiercely.
"I really want the saint to see what kind of vicious beauty he thinks of as elegant as a camellia...... the queen said this, her brows furrowed, and she quickly stretched out and said with a smile, "But I think left, doesn't the saint just know the true face of Concubine Li, so he let me do it." ”
At this time, the two palace maids had already put the white silk on the beam, and put the stool under the beam.
The two maids worked together to pick up Concubine Li and make her stand on the stool, and then wrapped the white silk around the bottom of her neck and tied the knot.
In this process, Concubine Li kept looking at the queen, her eyes were still full of resentment, but soon the resentment was gone, and she slowly showed a mocking smile at the queen.
The queen's heart suddenly sudden, but her face did not show it at all, and she said with a smile, "You have always been smart, and you know current affairs, and you are longer than forbearance, you must have something to say before you die, so I will listen to it." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at one of the palace maids.
The palace maid clicked on Concubine Li, and Concubine Li "babbled" and looked at the queen panting.
"Do you think you're the biggest winner? You're wrong, I'm just a pawn. Concubine Li looked at the queen and gasped.
The queen smiled slightly, "If it weren't for the discovery of the relationship between Concubine Li and King Zhao, King Zhao would be the biggest winner." ”
Concubine Li nodded, "I do have this thought, and King Zhao should only have a chance of winning, and he can fight with the crown prince." But I haven't touched the prince, do you know why? ”
A different color flashed in the queen's eyes, and she quickly pretended not to care, and slowly approached Concubine Li, "Oh, why?" ”
"Because in addition to the two of us, there are people behind them, and I don't dare to do it if I don't find out the people. When the time comes, the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, which is not my style. Concubine Li said proudly.
"You really have a seven-trick exquisite heart, and at this time, you can still talk so loudly, and you can say that this palace is convinced." The queen walked over to a chair, sat down, and looked at Concubine Li.
Concubine Li smiled slightly, her pale and innocent face did not look like she was in her forties, but like a teenage girl, "Believe it or not." ”
"Didn't this palace say that it was convinced, why did Concubine Li say that this palace didn't believe it?" The queen picked up the fruit bowl on the table, ate a grape, and said slowly.
Concubine Li shook her head, "I'm going to die, but I'm not reconciled, I haven't killed the Hua family yet, I'm not reconciled." ”
The queen's eyes flashed and she looked at Concubine Li, "Oh? Do you even know that it was the Hua family who made you what you are now? ”
Concubine Li laughed and shook her head, which gave her a little delicate taste, "The queen is really a good means, in the blink of an eye, this matter is the account of the Hua family, I don't know if the Hua family will regret not moving the prince earlier." ”
"The Hua family is a dog next to the saint, they are loyal and patriotic, but they will not touch the prince." The queen said softly.
Concubine Li shook her head and looked at the queen with pity in her eyes, "The Hua family is behind it, and there have always been other supporters, don't you know?" ”
"Hahaha, that's what you're talking about...... In addition to the crown prince, apart from King Zhao, who else can the Hua family support? King Yu? The dead King Shen? Or is it a prince who is far away in a fiefdom and has no reputation? The queen laughed.
Concubine Li looked at the queen and smiled, and the pity in her eyes deepened, "The Hua family has been in the dynasty for just a few years, and they have climbed to their current position, aren't you curious at all?" Why did I repeatedly let people hit Hua Liuniang, don't you have a little guess? ”
"I want to hear about it." The queen saw that Concubine Li was cautious, so she put away the smile on her face.
"Master Enlightenment once helped the emperor win the throne, does the queen know?" Concubine Li asked.
The queen nodded. Although this matter is secret, she is a queen, and she can still find out.
"Back then, a group of old ministers all called Master Enlightenment the Master of Enlightenment the National Protector, do you know about this?" Concubine Li asked again.
The queen shook her head and looked at Concubine Li, "I've never heard of this. ”
"The queen can go back and investigate, but this matter is more secretive, and few people know about it." When Concubine Li said this, her words changed. "The reason why the Enlightened Master is called the Protector of the Country. One is because he helped the emperor, and the other is because of the string of prayer beads in his hand. ”
The queen sneered, "It seems that Concubine Li really hates the Hua family." The Hua family will be put to death. It really makes me curious. How did the Hua family provoke our Concubine Li. ”
The string of prayer beads of the master of enlightenment, who in Beijing does not know, is now wearing it on Hua Liuniang? Concubine Li's words. It's really dampening!
Concubine Li was not in a hurry at all, she just smiled sarcastically, "I hate the Hua family, not because the Hua family has harmed me, but because the Hua family will be the largest family in the future, and it will be cloudy and rainy in the court." The queen and I are both losers. ”
"Oh, could it be that Concubine Li can also tell hexagrams?" The queen smiled and looked disdainful.
It's really getting worse the more she talks about it, why doesn't she say that the Hua family will dominate the world?
"I don't know how to tell fortunes, but my mother's people can. Has the queen forgotten how my mother clan was promoted back then, and how my mother clan has been as stable as Mount Tai in recent years? Concubine Li said softly.
The queen was stunned, of course she knew how Li Shangshu's Mansion was promoted, and of course she knew how stable Li Shangshu's Mansion was now.
Many palace concubines in this palace are jealous, and they all say that Li Shangshu's promotion depends on Concubine Li. Even the hundreds of officials outside said the same.
But the queen knew that this was not the case.
Li Shangshufu's promotion, to a large extent, was because he did the right thing and had political achievements.
It was not a simple political achievement, but the opportunity to be the first to save some major losses.
Back then, the Li family even tried to take advantage of this to stand in the court and release the words of the gods in the house.
Fortunately, the old sage had the courage to intercept the matter at that time, and pressed Li Shangshufu out of breath, promising never to spread these things.
The stakes were so important that the old sage barely told any of his courtiers, and he also sent a large number of people into Li Shangshu's mansion to be undercover.
And she, who has been stable for so many years, has not suppressed the rest of the princes too hard, also because of the meaning behind the old sage's bold methods at that time.
He suppressed this matter, which showed that in his mind, the prince was orthodox and could not be shaken in any way.
The queen came back to her senses and looked at Concubine Li with a sinking face, "It seems that Concubine Li doesn't want Li Shangshu Mansion to wear it, and she actually came to spread these nonsense." ”
"Hua Liuniang has the Protector of the Country, the Hua family has the Hua Academy and Yishan Hall, Hua Da and Hua Er have entered the Hanlin, Li Zhi and a large number of scholars from the Hua Academy have entered the court, is the queen really worried that there will be no place for the prince to stand in the future?"
Concubine Li looked at the queen, saw that her face was impassive, and continued, "I believe that Princess Shuhua has recruited Hua Liuniang, and the crown prince has also recruited Hua Dahua Er, and finally they all returned?" What do they say, that is, they are only loyal to the saints? ”
When the queen heard these two questions, her heart shook violently, and her face was still silent, "Does Concubine Li want to borrow the hand of this palace to destroy the Hua family?" ”
"This palace can't succeed in this life, and I am unwilling, but if I am defeated in the hands of the queen and the prince, I can still swallow this breath. But if it is defeated in the hands of an unknown prince, and in the hands of the Hua family, it is really a blind eye. Concubine Li's tone was sonorous, and when she mentioned the Hua family, her eyes were full of resentment.
At this time, the queen seemed to be tired, and said to the palace maid standing beside Concubine Li, "Concubine Li is tired after saying so much, you can send Concubine Li on the road." ”
"The queen doesn't believe in the concubines, and the concubines have nothing to say, I hope the queen won't regret it in the future." After Concubine Li finished speaking, she smiled, "Why don't you unlock my acupoint and let me break it myself?" ”
Hearing her mention this, the queen suddenly got up from her chair and motioned for the two palace maids to bring Concubine Li down.
Bai Aya has already wrapped her neck around Concubine Li, and if you want to bring Concubine Li down, you have to untie Bai Aya first.
But the queen had already ordered, and the two palace maids naturally would not disobey, so they had to untie Bai Aya and then hug Concubine Li down.
The queen slowly walked up to Concubine Li and smiled at Concubine Li.
She is already old, but when she laughs like this, she is still graceful and luxurious, like a peony flower in a royal garden, and the country is fragrant.
Concubine Li thought, the queen is really still the queen, and she is beautiful enough.
Just as she was thinking this, the queen waved her palm and slapped her hard.
"Bang-" The sound was so loud that it turned into a huge thunder in Concubine Li's mind.
In her life, although she has also fallen ill and collapsed because of being divorced, she has never been slapped like this.
She was stunned and looked at the queen in disbelief.
But before she could turn her face, the second slap came. It's still so loud, so painful.
"Go and get a mirror, let us see what kind of goods she is now, and what qualifications she has to bargain with this palace." The queen commanded a court maid.
The palace maid quickly came over with a bronze mirror, walked up to Concubine Li, and placed the bronze mirror in front of Concubine Li's face.
Concubine Li was pressed by another palace maid and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
The poor and elegant camellia has turned into cow coated with rouge.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the queen, and said resentfully, "I shouldn't tell you about the Hua family...... It's up to you to go from being the mother of a nation to being a prisoner. ”
The queen's heart moved, and she smiled slightly at Concubine Li's resentful gaze,
"There are a lot of things that you shouldn't have done, haven't you done them all? You want to kill the Hua family with the hand of this palace, and this palace understands. But do you think Hongu will do it? Why don't you wait until you get to Huangquan Road, stay in the palace and see what the palace will do? ”
After finishing speaking, she made a gesture without waiting for Concubine Li to speak.
The two palace maids picked up Concubine Li, put it back on the stool, and put the hanging white silk on Concubine Li's neck again, and then tied the knot.
Concubine Li never said a word, just looked at the queen and smiled.
The queen looked at Concubine Li, sighed, returned to her seat and sat down, and then nodded to the two palace maids.
The two palace maids saw the queen's nodding and kicked the stool at Concubine Li's feet.
Bai Aya suddenly tightened Concubine Li's neck, and her swollen face suddenly became even more hideous.
The queen took the fruit in the fruit bowl and ate it slowly, while looking at Concubine Li's painfully distorted face.
I can no longer see the elegance of the past, the swollen face, the distorted expression, the ugliness is unbearable.
But the queen still watched it very happily, how many years, she finally waited for this moment.
Concubine Li struggled, her face twisted even more, she struggled to look up at the queen, but she couldn't even turn her head.
In this life, it is even shorter than the previous life.
At the moment when she was about to die, Concubine Li suddenly remembered that a palace concubine told her in a mocking tone that she couldn't even give birth to a child.
Then, her tears flowed.
Then, she lost her breath. (To be continued......)
