"You...... Can you let me down? ”

The man in front of her made Ye Lingyi feel a little depressed, especially in this case, a naked sense of shame made that beautiful little face slightly red, and even the roots of her ears began to burn.

Inepu came back to his senses, and then realized that it was not polite for him to stare directly at a woman, and besides, now she was only covered with a rag, and the bright green silk drooped, which set off the lines of her shoulders more gracefully, and gently brushed the back of his hand that he held around her waist like a weeping willow, tickling.

This couldn't help but make the tall man from the Western Regions lose his mind slightly, and he quickly put her down, and a touch of unnaturalness flashed on his handsome face.

The fair-skinned and slender hand pressed against his lips and coughed dryly, his eyes drifted away, and he asked in a not fluent Central Plains dialect: "Who are you?" ”

Ye Lingyi was not in a hurry to answer his words, bent down to pick up a piece of brocade scattered on the ground, turned his head and asked him, "Are you from this dyeing workshop?" ”

Inep lowered his eyes and looked at her stunned, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant, and just replied with a jerky affirmative answer.

"That's it!" A smile bloomed on her face, and she casually draped the brocade on her body, completely covering her beautiful shoulders.

He walked back to him barefoot, and said embarrassedly: "I'm in a bit of a special situation now, I don't have any money on me, can you lend me this cloth first?" I promise, when my friend comes, let her pay! ”

Inep looked at her, still stunned.

Ye Lingyi waited anxiously for his response.

At this moment, officers and soldiers armed with weapons broke in.

Ye Lingyi saw that the situation was not good, and couldn't wait, so he hurriedly left a sentence: "If you don't speak, I'll give you a promise." ”

Then he turned around and left.

"Wait!"

For the first time, Inep, a man who is indifferent in his bones, reached out to keep her.

Ye Lingyi stood still, looked back along his caught shoulder, and was puzzled.

As soon as the picture turned, only this tall man from the Western Regions was left in the messy brocade weaving on the ground.

Officers and soldiers swarmed over and surrounded him in the center.

The leading officers and soldiers raised their chins, looked at the tall figure with their backs to them in front of them with disdain, and shouted contemptuously: "Hey! Hu Manzi! ”

The light in Inep's eyes quickly cooled with this extremely insulting title, and he turned around and smiled quietly: "What are the officials doing?" ”

The officers and soldiers were disdainful of the flattery that Inep had made on the surface, snorted coldly, and asked unceremoniously: "Let me ask you, what about the woman who fell just now?" I warn you, put away your unscrupulous and unsightly ghost thoughts, and don't lie to me! Be careful, I'll take you with you! ”

"Where is the official!" Inep pretended to be humble, and deliberately stared at it again, "Woman......"

Suddenly realized, pointed to the brocade weaving soaked in the water tank beside him: "It turns out that she is the one who destroyed these good cloths in our dyeing workshop!" ”

"Where is she?" The faces of the officers and men suddenly turned fierce.

Without hesitation, Inep pointed to a slightly lower tile wall in the dye shop and said, "When I first entered the courtyard, I saw her running there!" ”

The officers and men looked in the direction of the tile wall.

"Give me chase!"

The gloomy leader gave an order, and the officers and soldiers rushed out again.

When they were far away, Inep suppressed the gentleness on his face, became expressionless, turned to the water tank covered by Nishikori, and said, "They're gone!" ”

The tank was filled with water, and the surface of the water was soaked in a layer of snow-blue brocade, and a few bubbles were gurgling underneath.

Inep had a premonition that something was wrong, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and was already dizzy when he reached out and pulled her up from the water tank.

The limp body lost its center of gravity, and Inep had to let her lean into his arms, staring down at her.

At this moment, Inep suddenly realized that the living weapon in his mind was not as indestructible as he imagined, and it also had such a vulnerable side.

It's a woman, after all.

The wet fabric and black hair clinged to her body, and the droplets on her forehead, eyebrows, and eyelashes looked a little pitiful.

Ye Lingyi doesn't know water, just now Inep asked her to hold her breath and hide in the water, and after a while, she fainted due to high hypoxia.

Inep had no choice but to pick her up sideways and temporarily place her in a break room in the dye shop.

Meanwhile.

Outside the golden bed brocade tent of Danxia Palace, there were trembling palace people kneeling on the ground.

They have all handled the bowl of ginseng chicken soup, and no one can rule out suspicion.

After the elderly doctor Yin asked Li Yuanlin for a pulse prick, he got up and bowed his head to Li Yuanlin, who was sickly on the dragon couch, and said: "The emperor is relieved, fortunately, the toxin was found in time, and the toxin did not hurt the internal organs!" ”

"The silver doctor bothered." Li Yuanlin's voice was weak, his face was pale and terrifying, even his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were full of tiredness as he looked at Doctor Yin.

"Xu Neishi, you have to look at it in recent days, pay attention to the emperor's diet, and avoid making big supplements, the emperor is just healing from weakness, and he is extremely hurtful!"

Xu Neishou was the first palace person to notice that something was wrong when Li Yuanlin was poisoned. After receiving Dr. Yin's advice, he immediately agreed.

He turned his eyes and asked Li Yuanlin: "Your Majesty, how do you see these criminal slaves being handled?" ”

Li Yuanlin, who was lying on the golden couch, narrowed his eyes slightly, and waved his hand weakly: "Let them all go down!" ”

"But the emperor, these minions have all handled the bowl of ginseng chicken soup, who is the most heinous one if they can't keep it, isn't the emperor going to let the tiger return to the mountain?" Xu Nei said bitterly.

"It's not them, let them go!"

Most of these kneeling people are nameless inferior palace people, who have no hatred or grudges, and they can't risk their lives to harm him.

As for who the real culprit is, in fact, Li Yuanlin already has an answer in his heart.

Xu Nei, who was on the other end, saw that the emperor was determined, and it was difficult to stop him, so he had to stare at the palace people and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't go down yet! ”

The palace people who knelt on the ground were like being amnestied, and they all kowtowed to Li Yuanlin on the bed, and retreated with a smoke.

After a while, the eunuch outside the door announced in a sharp voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

Li Yuanlin slowly opened his eyes full of tiredness, and said lightly: "You all go down!" ”

Doctor Yin made a gesture and withdrew with the palace people who were waiting in the palace.

Liang Hou, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, quickly came in with brisk steps, and her face was still a little proud.

Walking to the edge of the golden couch, he pretended to look at Li Yuanlin distressedly, and sighed sadly: "Emperor, is the dragon body still stable?" The mourning family heard that you were poisoned and almost had a big accident, but they were worried about the mourning family. ”

Li Yuanlin didn't speak, just quietly looked at this woman who gave birth to herself and almost killed herself.

"Look at you, your face is so bad, where is this traitor plotting to kill the emperor? It's clear that he wants to mourn his family's life! Empress Liang "distressed" stroked Li Yuanlin's pale handsome face, wept, hid his face and wiped the corners of his dry eyes, swallowed his voice and held back tears: "The mourning family heard that you took Mama Lin's Diao slave who dared to murder the Son of Heaven into custody, and this matter is good, but she dared to murder the king of a country, and her crime should be punished, the emperor must not be soft-hearted!" ”

Empress Liang gritted her teeth with hatred, and pinched the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, as if she wanted to immediately order Mama Lin to be divided into five horses.

Li Yuanlin still didn't speak.

Liang Hou followed and said with a crying voice: "Fortunately, the emperor is fine!" Your father left early, you were raised by the mourning family, for so many years, only our mother and son have been clinging to each other, if something happens to you...... It's better to die first. ”

After speaking, he covered his face with a handkerchief and squeezed out a few tears.

Li Yuanlin felt cold in his heart, laughed sadly, and tears welled up in his obsidian-like eyes: "The queen mother really can't cry, so she doesn't have to act again, right?" After all, it's nondescript, and the appearance is really not very elegant. ”

Liang Hou's hand "wiping tears" paused.

Li Yuanlin turned his eyes to look at the top of the brocade tent, and said calmly: "Queen Mother, in fact, I have always had a question hidden in my heart, what is my biological son to you?" What is a henchman who has served you faithfully for decades? A tool to get to the top? A scapegoat that can be used at any time to discard? Is there only power in your heart? ”

After a long time, Liang Hou's hand that hid his face and "wiped his tears" finally put down, revealing a calm and indifferent expression, and laughed slowly: "So you already know? ”

Li Yuanlin's eyes were sad: "I'd rather never know." ”

Liang Hou looked at him, and suddenly sneered, and the more he laughed, the more he laughed.

"You're like your dead daddy! The people of your Li family will always be this hypocritical! ”

Li Yuanlin sighed: "Queen Mother, you shouldn't have coveted something that can't belong to you at all, even if I really die, there are Manchu ministers here, and the candidate for the throne is to choose one person from the side royal family to inherit, and it will never fall on you." ”

"Then let's try it!" Liang Hou suddenly got up and roared, staring at him like a man-eating beast: "I have worked hard for many years, and the good years are all for your Li family!" Why? In this world, your Li family can sit, and my Liang family can still sit! ”

Facing Empress Liang, who had lost his mind, Li Yuanlin shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly: "Queen Mother, turn back!" Don't be wrong again and again. ”

"Dreaming!"

With a wave of his sleeves, Liang Hou was resolute: "Put away your hypocritical face, I don't need it!" Since ancient times, I understand the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, and now that you know that I have poisoned you, whether you want to exile or kill, listen to it! ”

"Queen Mother!" Li Yuanlin was also angry, his eyes full of tiredness gradually turned red, and his sickly pale face looked even more ugly, "Why in the end?" It's been so many years, why don't you just refuse to let go of the obsession in your heart? ”

"Why, you ask?" Liang Hou laughed, the resoluteness on his face collapsed little by little, and he turned his eyes to look at Li Yuanlin, his eyes were full of deep hatred: "You should ask your father about this!" Ask that ruthless man why he married me! ”

After that, it seemed to fall into memory, and he smiled sadly with tears in his eyes: "Before leaving the cabinet, I was the girl of the Liang family, and I promised the son of the former military department, I was a childhood sweetheart with him, and the two were happy, but when our two families were discussing the marriage date, your damn father actually gave the Liang family a holy decree, saying that he would welcome me into the palace, which is good, but everyone knows that he is to use my life to control the growing power of the Liang family, of course I refuse, and my father went to retire from this family business, but my father said that the holy order is difficult to disobey, It's a family-in-a-w. In desperation, I decided to elope with my fiancé, but before I left the city of Tokyo, my fiancé was captured by the guards and put into the palace, and he knelt down in front of the ruthless emperor and begged him to let me go, and his head was bleeding, but your damn father was unmoved, and even poured him with the trumped-up crime of "abducting the imperial concubine" and put him to death. What's even more hateful is that my fiancé died, he actually concealed the news, and threatened my fiancé's life to force me to enter the palace as a concubine. But trapped in the deep palace day after day, there is no hope, and I have also gone to the cold-blooded and ruthless man several times to ask about my fiancé, but what about him! I was fooled and teased several times, and finally told me with my hateful smile that my poor fiancé had long since been buried in the wilderness. Not only that, but he also wiped out the former military department Shangshu family, although I begged him, I cried and knelt down for him, but he faced me with that annoying face, and said arrogantly, if I hate, it is better to give birth to a person in power for him, as long as my son is in power, why do I need to kneel to him! From that moment on, I decided! I will give birth to a son for him, and I will kill all those who stand in my way for his son, so that the throne of the king of the Western Dynasty will fall into my hands! Since he is so jealous of my Liang family's power, I want to let the Liang family's power invade the government and the opposition, what if this Western Dynasty is the Li family? I want his son to be a puppet in my hands forever! I want his children and grandchildren to see with their own eyes how the Li family is falling and decaying! ”

Liang Hou's eyes were almost crazy.

Li Yuanlin always frowned, and at this moment he suddenly realized that in the past twenty years, he seemed to have never known his mother, and he didn't know what kind of person she was.

"This is a long-planned revenge," Liang Hou still muttered to herself, drooping her shoulders, her eyes were as silent as stagnant water, and she had lost her former brilliance, as if she was no longer the noble woman of the Western Dynasty at this moment, but just a pathetic person who lost her love and everything, with a dim smile: "But I lost, and despite gambling everything, I finally lost in the hands of that man." ”

Speaking of this, he looked back at Li Yuanlin mechanically: "Do you know what I hate you the most?" ”

Li Yuanlin was puzzled.

"I hate you the most for having the same face as him, I hate you for being his son the most, I hate you for having filthy and despicable blood in your bones, I hate ......"

Liang Hou spoke extremely quickly, and stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

She bowed her head and was silent, as if all this had completely knocked her into the dust, and her wounded body was completely skinless, and she looked a little pitiful.

Li Yuanlin couldn't bear it.

But just when he was about to persuade him, Empress Liang suddenly rushed over with wide eyes like crazy, grabbed his neck tightly, and his smile gradually became arrogant: "Father and son pay debts!" I can't wait you to die! I can't wait for him to cut off his children and grandchildren from now on! ”

Li Yuanlin's body was still weak, and Liang Hou's pinching seemed to be completely murderous, making it difficult for Li Yuanlin to breathe, and he had no power to fight back.

wanted to shout, but the voice was piled up in her throat and was imprisoned by Empress Liang, and she couldn't even pronounce half a sound, so she could only stare at her with unbelievable eyes.

At this moment, his heart was finally cold and he no longer struggled.

Just because his mother hated his father, should he be hated by his mother and even die for his father?

But he is not only his father's son, but also her son!

Isn't it often said that children are the flesh that falls from their parents?

Why is his mother always tormenting him with the past and his father's faults, using him, hurting him and even killing him?

Why?

Li Yuanlin really couldn't figure it out.

Empress Liang gathered all his strength in his hands and pinched Li Yuanlin, who was staring at him.

Just when he felt that his eyes were black and he was about to pass out, the door of the main hall of Danxia Palace was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Neishou seemed to have a premonition, and broke in with two henchmen and eunuchs, but without publicity, he turned around and closed the door of the palace.

Entering the inner hall, seeing the situation of the mother's murder, he was taken aback, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran over, and the three of them worked together to pull Liang Hou away from Li Yuanlin with all their strength.

Li Yuanlin, who was suffocated, was suddenly able to breathe freely, and was immediately choked by the air poured into his chest and coughed violently.

Xu Neishou was a clever man, and he didn't show any curiosity in the face of this appalling scene, but immediately stepped forward to give Li Yuanlin a good breath and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to ask Doctor Yin to come again?" ”

Li Yuanlin shook his head and signaled no.

Looking at Liang Hou, who was pulled by the two eunuchs, he asked bitterly, "Why?" ”

Empress Liang seemed to be crazy at the moment, and shouted angrily: "You are a wicked seed, you deserve to die!" It's good that you Li are dead! ”

He laughed wildly.

After relieving his breath, Li Yuanlin's eyes were sad, and he looked at his mother tightly.

After a long silence, he finally gritted his teeth and made a huge decision.

"Someone, the purpose. Recently, the queen mother was too worried about the first emperor, so that she couldn't sleep at night, and the food was not delicious, so she decided to set off to the imperial temple to chant and pray for the first emperor, and I was worried about the safety of the queen mother, so she sent General Wu Zuogu to protect all the way, and ordered the guards to be fifty, and the servants and maids and palace supervisors were ten each, and they were stationed in the imperial temple, and the queen mother must be served thoroughly! ”
