Chapter 498: Hatred and Profit
In any case, Mrs. Jing has always been the exposé princess of Yingzheng, the biological mother of Fusu, and the most respected lady of the Great Qin Dynasty, Mrs. Li wants to ascend the throne of the queen, and Mrs. Jing is still her number one enemy, so she will not let go of any opportunity to pull Mrs. Jing into the "predicament".
Knowing the grievances and grievances between Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jing, and the fact that neither of them would have good thoughts about me for a day, I voluntarily avoided Mrs. Li's aggravated information and directly asked me about the issues I was concerned about.
"When Zhong Li attacked the palace with a bee array, was it really you who instructed it?"
Although Lin Jixiang said that it was past, I always felt that it was Zhao Gao's mastermind, and after learning that it was actually Mrs. Li who was behind the scenes, I still felt awkward when I saw Mrs. Li.
The plot of life and death, Mrs. Li once used Zhong Li's wife to almost kill me, but I can still sit down and talk to her calmly - I have grown to a mature state, right?
Mrs. Li is obviously much older than me, and she is much calmer when encountering problems, because in the face of my Chiguoguo's questioning, she is still unsurprised and her eyes are not moving.
"It's in the past, why should Mrs. Creek hold on to it? Compared with the trivial matters before, this palace feels that you should put your mind more on the present, you think, if Huating is not by your side, what else do you have to rely on to save the emperor's heart? When Mrs. Li said this, her expression was quite charitable.
She's even more forward-thinking than me, a "forward-thinking" person.
"It's really you!" I sighed and laughed at myself, "Huh. But now I'm still trading with you, it's ridiculous. ”
I used to be unable to understand why people with murderous hatreds could be united in an alliance, but now I do. And I've become the kind of person who used to disgust me.
I don't care about my attitude, Mrs. Li only cares about the result, she sees that I am willing to give it a try, even if she gets up and doesn't say much.
"Since you and I are willing, this matter will be safe, you can wait to hug Huating."
Hug back to Huating - this temptation is too great for me, in fact, it is not said to help Mrs. Li participate in the Yingzheng parade. It's just that I asked me to help her regain favor, and I think I can handle it, but I just don't know how likely it is that Mrs. Li guessed that I would be able to achieve her hopes.
Mrs. Lee's movements proceeded surprisingly quickly. When I was still wondering if I could successfully meet Yingzheng and talk to him about Mrs. Li, she had already succeeded in Huating.
Luo Cong reported that Mrs. Li took her young son Hao Chang to Qiongyang Palace to ask to see Ying Zheng, during which Hao Chang couldn't put down his love for Ying Man, and this scene of brother and sister friendship made Ying Zheng who had gone through the vicissitudes of human affection very happy. Therefore, when Mrs. Li was leaving, she "raised" and mentioned yì's request to "bring back to Huating and let Hao Chang and their brothers and sisters get along more" was very smoothly approved by Yingzheng.
The news that Chang Man was transferred to Zimian Palace indicates that Mrs. Li's agreement has been successful for the most part. But she didn't send anyone to say it, and there was no sign of sending Chang Man back, so I was even more worried than when Chang Man was in the Qiongyang Palace.
When she was in the Qiongyang Palace, she was under the protection of her father, the Emperor, and it was also her home; Now in Zimian Palace, there are many people, and Mrs. Li controls her to coerce me...
Mrs. Li is urging me to do something, I know, she used this trick, and I had to do it impulsively.
"Mama Wei. The main palace came today because I heard that Princess Huating was not in the Qiongyang Palace, which made the palace very uneasy.
Hua Ting is young. This is the age at which she should stay by the side of her father and mother, and there is no objection to the emperor reading her and asking her to come to the palace to live in the palace, because the palace knows that you will take good care of Huating;
However, now that she is not only without the arms of her mother, but she can't even see her father's face, how can this palace rest assured?
You go to report to the emperor, and say that the palace is anxious, and please ask the emperor to agree to see the palace. The matter is very important, the palace knows that Mama Wei is loyal, and she will not let Princess Huating suffer any grievances and dangers, so the palace wants to bother Mama Wei to help the palace report it. ”
I wasn't sure that I would be able to see Yingzheng as soon as the guards reported it, and I was even more afraid that Lin Jixiang would directly suppress it and not let me see it after receiving the news that I asked to see Yingzheng, so I asked the guards to find Mama Wei first, and she came forward.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade Mama Wei to do things, but I didn't expect that after the meeting, Mama Wei, who listened to my long speech, was very happy and introduced me directly.
"Mrs. Xi, please, the emperor has been waiting for you in the imperial study for a long time."
This made me almost choke on the language of the manuscript after I finished the previous sentence.
When I was invited in by Mama Wei, my steps were very slow, not that I had to spend a lot of time with Mama Wei at the gate of the palace, but until the moment when I could see Ying Zheng soon, I still didn't think about how to recommend Mrs. Li to accompany me.
Chang Man was in Zimian Palace at the moment, and I came to ask Mrs. Li to accompany her, and then Mrs. Li hugged Chang Man to me - such an obvious act of "fooling" Ying Zheng is too clumsy.
Lin Jixiang was outside the imperial study, he saw me and Mama Wei approaching him gently, and after staring at me for a while without looking at him, he directly pushed the door and let me in.
Mama Wei didn't ask Ying Zheng, and Lin Jixiang didn't report Ying Zheng, and directly let me go in - Ying Zheng knew that I was coming? Does he know what I'm asking of him?
Sitting on the high platform, not disturbed by the movement of my entry, Ying Zheng waited for me to stand in the room for a while before putting down the recital in his hand and raising his eyebrows to open his mouth to me.
"What do you want?" He got straight to the point.
The sound of his sudden voice shook my mind, but it calmed my beating mind, for I was still bothering with how to get the conversation to the intercession, which could be omitted—he was always ahead of my thoughts.
Ying Zheng opened his mouth to ask, I was busy speaking, but when I came out, I realized that the words I almost blurted out were actually the facts that I heard others affirm N times but I didn't want to see.
"The emperor wants to parade?"
I don't know why I don't give up, I must hear Ying Zheng say it himself, probably because I don't want to hear him say it himself, but the facts are the facts, how can they be changed with my wishes?
These words may not be quite the same as Ying Zheng's thinking that I have come for Chang Man, so he was a little surprised; But he probably expected me to know about it, so he wasn't surprised.
"Do you know about the parade? How did you find out that it had not been publicized? ”
It's not like a question, but the meaning of Ying Zheng's question is not very kind, but compared to the dilemma of not being able to justify itself, I am more sad to get the confirmation of the parade from him.
Clenching my fists, I distracted myself in response to his question.
"Slave concubine is not a prophet."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, with a look of "knowing", but his noncommittal appearance obviously saw that I was prevaricating him.
Seeing that I was deep in thought and didn't speak, and Yingzheng was not in a hurry to listen to me, he picked up another book and read it intently.
If I don't break this deadlock, he doesn't intend to break it for me.
racked my brains and didn't think of any good introduction, but at the moment I was in the same room with Yingzheng, and I had a topic that I could talk about.
"Your Majesty, there is something that the slave concubine can't remember very clearly, so I'm here to ask Your Majesty for verification."
Without waiting for Yingzheng to react, I hurriedly explained the "cause" in one go.
The concubine remembered, as if His Majesty had promised the concubine several wishes before, and His Majesty said that as long as the concubine wanted, His Majesty would be satisfied. There are too many good things in the past, but the slave concubine can't remember clearly, did she still have a wish at that time and didn't ask for favor from His Majesty, or - His Majesty ordered someone to check it? ”
My voice was weak when I asked Yingzheng to "check and check", because I knew that the fact that I was looking for an excuse to ask for favor when I checked the palace record book must be completely revealed.
After finishing speaking, I panicked for Ying Zheng's reply, but Ying Zheng didn't respond to me immediately, and this quiet atmosphere was about to drown me in torment.
He's so wise, he must have seen my thoughts, so would he still agree? Or did he really think I was naïve, and he didn't know how to belittle me to relieve his boredom?
No, he's not listening to me, is he? If I had to repeat this, I don't know if I would have the cheekiness to say it again.
My fists clenched tightly, and my palms were sweaty, but I still didn't dare to shake them.
"Ask for what?" He suddenly opened his mouth when I thought he would not respond, and the tone of his mouth was not very kind, but after asking this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a little expectation in his eyes: "Isn't it, you are playful?" That's right, Wan'er has a lot of experience in taking care of Huating's care recently——"
"No, your majesty!"
I was afraid that he had settled the question of Changman's belonging, so I interrupted him with a remark.
I just wanted to interrupt him, but I didn't want to beat his love xù and seemed very frustrated, but I had to say what I had to say, so I opened my mouth again.
"The concubine wants to ask for Mrs. Li. When the slave concubine heard about this move, there was a prince of Ronglu who accompanied her, and the slave concubine and Chang Man were separated for several days, and they understood that a mother and concubine loved the emperor's heir, and her heart was very profound..."
I interrupted Yingzheng's words, and Yingzheng obviously didn't have the energy to listen to my nonsense.
"You mean, your petition is for the sake of the seeds?" He was a little dazed.
I interrupted him out of fear, and he looked like this after he interrupted me – but why? Nodding, I was at a loss for Yingzheng's rare predicament.
"Yes, the concubine asked for a place for her." I answered truthfully, and for a moment I couldn't figure out where Yingzheng's apparent frustration came from. (To be continued......)
