Chapter 86: Mourning
"What happened to Concubine Tong?" Shimin asked.
Yuan Ji said lazily: "What else can I do?" Murder naturally pays for life, and I have ordered a man to be killed with a rod. ”
Shimin asked again, "Does my father know about this?" ”
Boss Yuanji was unhappy, "Second brother, do I have to go through my father to execute a concubine?" Besides, I also dealt with it in accordance with the law, what's wrong? ”
"That's not the case, the country has its own laws, and it's better to return to my father." Shimin Road.
Yuan Ji pursed his lips, "Don't worry, I will enter the palace this morning and tell my father." ”
Wujian hurriedly came to play the round, "That's good, this funeral is also very troublesome, if the fourth brother is too busy, the second sister-in-law can come to help." ”
"Thank you for the second sister-in-law's kindness, the first qiē went very smoothly." Yuan Ji finally showed a smile, "Thanks to Ziyi's ability, she is here and outside, and I don't have to worry about it." ”
As he was talking, the next person came to report that the princess had come to mourn.
I saw Zheng Guanyin holding a handkerchief to hide his face, and fake crying: "My poor fourth brother and sister, why did you go?" What can you do with your sister-in-law? It's a pity that you are still pregnant with a child, I really feel sorry for my sister-in-law! ”
There was incense on the side of the mourning hall, and Shimin and his wife, Yuanji, and Ziyi all came to greet this sister-in-law, and after sitting down, Zheng Guanyin asked about the general situation, "I really didn't expect these four joys to be so ruthless!" She also grew up in our Li Mansion since she was a child, and Yuanji has always treated her well, and she actually did such a thing! ”
Ziyi echoed: "Sister-in-law, she knows people and faces, she doesn't know her heart, she is dedicated to her son, and even her humanity has been annihilated." ”
"Isn't it! Now it is better to save from this wicked person from making some trouble in the future to make Yuanji live in peace. Zheng Guanyin said, "By the way, Yuanji, this Princess Qi is gone, who is in charge of the family?" ”
Yuan Ji said: "There is something to ask my sister-in-law, now the family is all Ziyi Zhangluo, I want her to be the princess of Qi again, and ask my sister-in-law to say a few kind words in front of her father." ”
"This ...... It's not that I'm talkative, can my father agree? Zheng Guanyin asked.
"Since this incident, I have been disheartened and do not want to take another woman to avoid a similar tragedy. As for me, I don't want to indulge in my children's private affairs anymore, and I will go to court more in the future, so as to help my father share his worries. Yuan Ji said, "There are only Ziyi and Jiang Xiaomei left in the family, and Jiang Xiaomei is a cowardly and can't take care of things." Fortunately, Ziyi is very capable, so I also asked my sister-in-law, as well as my second brother and second sister-in-law to help. ”
Wujian said gently: "We will naturally help with this favor, since the fourth brother has a sense of this matter, and his mind is used in court politics, I think my father will be very happy." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, if you tell your father like this, your father will agree." Zheng Guanyin said, "Ming'er, Jiancheng and I will also help you talk about it." ”
"By the way, sister-in-law, why don't you see your eldest brother?" Motoyoshi asked.
Zheng Guanyin said: "I was called into the palace by my father early in the morning, and I will come over later." ”
A few people gossiped again, and Zheng Guanyin went back with Shimin and his wife.
Shimin returned to the Yilan Palace, only to see Zixuan waiting for him to eat around a table of dishes, and his heart warmed, "You did all this?" ”
"Well, let's try it." Zixuan smiled sweetly.
Shimin took a bite of mutton, tasted another bite of fish, and shook his head, "It's really unpalatable." ”
Zixuan pouted and said, "I know I'm not doing it very well, but it's not unpalatable, right?" The first time someone cooks for you to eat, you don't praise it. ”
"It's already unpalatable, how can I lie against my will?" Shimin looked at her playfully, and his arrogant eyebrows provoked her with a smile.
"Hmph, you're too demoralizing!" Zixuan looked dissatisfied, "When I used to cook for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he said it was delicious, and said, 'If I can eat your dishes for the rest of my life, it must be the happiest thing in the world.'" ’”
Shimin was displeased, "When did you cook for your eldest brother?" ”
"That's when he taught me how to ride a horse." Zixuan didn't notice Shimin's jealousy at all.
Shimin grabbed her and let her sit on his lap, Zixuan struggled to get up, but his waist was tightened by him.
"Riding a horse teaches that character, and you're embarrassed to eat together? Big brother is really. Shimin said, "In the future, you are not allowed to cook for others casually!" ”
Zixuan was playful and no longer struggled, "That's good, you eat all the dishes on this table, and I won't make it for others in the future." ”
When Shimin heard this, he didn't say anything, but picked up his chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Zixuan got up from him and sat down next to him, "How about going to the Qi Palace?" How did Princess Qi die so suddenly? ”
Shimin stopped his chopsticks, "I think it's strange to talk about this. ”
"What's weird?" Zixuan hurriedly asked.
Shimin said: "Princess Qi was poisoned by rat poison by Tong Sixi, because Sixi was afraid that Princess Qi would give birth to a son-in-law, and her son would not be able to attack the lord." But the strange thing is that so soon, Yuan Ji let Ziyi regain the power of the Qi Palace, and he also wanted to make her the concubine again. ”
Such a coincidence? As soon as she said that King Qi couldn't have two concubines surnamed Yang, Princess Qi died, and her sister returned to power, could this matter be related to her sister? On a hot day, Zixuan's heart was like the middle of winter, and he felt a chill in his heart.
Shimin continued: "And when I saw Ziyi today, she seemed to be a different person. ”
"How so? What has become of her? Zixuan asked urgently.
Shimin pondered deeply, "She called me second brother, and she was very polite about the funeral of the Qi Palace...... The last time she saw me, she was still yelling at me in the palace......"
Something is wrong! Something is wrong! Something is very wrong! My sister has always been a straight-tempered person, how could she call Li Shimin's second brother? Even if she doesn't hate him, she will never be willing to call him second brother! She won't help Li Yuanji to clean up the Qi Palace, not to mention that she doesn't love Li Yuanji, even if she does, she will never do such trivial things with her uninhibited temperament. Sister, what are you doing this for......
The next day, Zixuan came to the Qi Wangfu to see his sister, and saw Zheng Ziyi methodically directing his subordinates to deal with the funeral. Zixuan was embarrassed to come forward to disturb, so he asked Guerlain: "Tong Sixi is so confused that he killed Princess Qi?" ”
Guerlain's face turned pale suddenly, and her eyes showed a look of fear, "Yes...... It was Concubine Tong who died, Miss Zixuan doesn't believe it? ”
"What do I not believe, hasn't King Qi been tried?" Zixuan asked casually, but Guerlain was so scared, there must be something wrong with this, "It's just that Princess Qi and Tong Sixi are dead, and all the big and small affairs in the house will fall on my sister, I'm worried that she will be tired." ”
"The master is okay, and there are a few capable people in the house to help him. Miss Zixuan, you sit down first, and I'll make you tea. Guerlain ran away.
Zixuan became more and more suspicious, Guerlain seemed unwilling to talk to her more, thinking that there were some things that she couldn't say, and the little girl would not hide her heart.
After a while, Ziyi was almost busy, and then came to greet Zixuan, "Zixuan, have you waited for a while?" This house is too busy with funerals, don't blame your sister for neglecting you! ”
"It's okay, I also heard that my sister is back in charge of the affairs of the Qi Palace, and I'm worried that my sister will be affected, so I want to see if there is anything I can do to help." Zixuan quietly started with mundane matters.
Ziyi smiled: "It's okay, I'm not so tired, it's just a little more effort." ”
"My sister used to be the most reluctant to do such trivial work, but now she doesn't feel bored?"
"It used to be before, and now it's like this, people have to adapt to the environment, don't you say?" Ziyi said sadly, "I was imprisoned by Li Yuanji, I escaped, and I resisted, but I didn't succeed, and I could only exchange him for rounds of abuse." Now you say that I still have five or six years to be saved, I can only wait, but life is still there, so I can only find a way to make my life more comfortable. If I were still the unrestrained Ziyi I used to be, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago! ”
"Sister, it's really hard for you!" Zixuan's face was ashamed, and tears gradually welled up in his eyes, "It's all because of me, if I hadn't had to go to Tang Zhaoling, we wouldn't have come here, sister, you wouldn't have suffered like this, and you wouldn't have to do these things against your will!" ”
Ziyi hugged Zixuan, "Silly girl, the things in the past can't be changed, and what is it doing, the important thing is now." ”
"Now?" Zixuan raised his head, "I've been worried that Li Yuanji has two concubines surnamed Yang these days, but I'm afraid that it won't be my sister who will be rescued by then." What a coincidence, why did Yang Liyun die? ”
"Every man has his own life, and maybe that's how she should be. I don't want to base my hope of being rescued on the misery of others, and Yang Liyun is still pregnant with a child, which is really pitiful. Ziyi said with a sad face, "By the way, Zixuan, you said that it took me five or six years to be rescued, is it recorded in the history books?" ”
Zixuan replied honestly: "Actually, this is just a rumor in history, not an official historical record, and I don't know if it's true." But I asked Li Shimin, and what he promised to save you should be true. ”
"Can you believe Li Shimin's words?" Ziyi snorted, thinking: Zixuan, you are really good! It's just a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, so you want me to wait for five or six years, aren't you fooling me!
"Sister, you still hate him?" Zixuan asked.
"It doesn't matter if you hate or not, I only treat him as a stranger from now on." Ziyi said, "It's just, Zixuan, we are sisters, I'm in danger now, how can I say that there are still five or six years left, can you come to accompany my sister?" You know history, so you can give your sister ideas when you encounter problems. ”
Zixuan said embarrassedly: "Sister, of course I am willing to be with you, but I am really afraid of Li Yuanji." Even if you don't tell me, I know what he is like, and it is clearly recorded in the history books that he is really the devil! If our sisters are all accused by him, I am afraid that there will be no chance to escape. ”R1152
