Chapter 114: Once and for all
As soon as they heard the queen say that they were going to report the matter to the emperor, Zhou Guifei and Fengyi Zhu's faces became even more ugly: "The emperor has every opportunity, and he is upset about the border at this time, and I hope that the queen will think more about him, and don't use trivial things to affect the emperor's mood." ”
"A trifle?" The queen sneered, "Concubine Zhou, look at it, Mrs. Lu is being tortured by poison now, look at her face, it's as white as a piece of paper." Everyone was born and raised by their parents, you are the biological mother of the thirteenth princess, it is understandable to speak for her, so Mrs. Lu deserves to be poisoned? This matter, no matter what, I have to give her an explanation. ”
Her eyes turned, and she turned to Fengyi Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling: "The thirteenth princess is the emperor's favorite princess, and the emperor will definitely not sit idly by." ”
What is frightening is that the emperor will not sit idly by.
Zhou Guifei wanted to continue struggling, but the queen refused to look at her more, walked with a single step, and walked directly outside.
The queen's side couldn't work, so she could only hit An Xiabai's head with her idea: "Mrs. Lu, this palace wants to ask you for something!" ”
Zhou Guifei thought to herself, if the queen insisted on reporting the matter to the emperor, the only way she could deal with it was to let An Xiabai personally confess, if the other party relented and said that he would not pursue it, or that the longevity peach she ate at the banquet was no problem at all, and the problem was her own body, so that Fengyi Zhu would have a glimmer of life.
Otherwise, what their mother and daughter ushered in would probably only be the emperor's wrath.
An Xiabai curled up in Lu Li's arms, she didn't speak, but Lu Li opened her mouth first: "My wife needs to rest, let's leave for a while." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Guifei and Fengyi Zhu both showed dissatisfied looks, and wanted to scold, but they heard Lu Li say: "After Madam ate the longevity peach that the princess personally sent to her hand, she was not feeling well, before the truth of the matter was clarified, I don't want to talk to the two nobles, how about you please give us a little time and space?" ”
The anger contained in his words was very flamboyant, and Feng Yi Zhu couldn't help but shrink his neck: "Again, I didn't poison it!" ”
"No matter who poisoned her, she needs to rest now, can't the thirteenth princess not understand people's words?" Lu Li suddenly raised his head, looking at them with hatred in his gaze and undisguised hatred.
Feng Yi Zhu was really scared this time, she hid behind Zhou Guifei, and was about to defend her face, but was stopped by Zhou Guifei in time.
"This kind of thing is not something we want to happen, I hope General Lu can figure it out." Zhou Guifei restrained her emotions and said indifferently.
"Mother?" Fengyi Zhu looked puzzled.
"Okay, let's go out first and let Mrs. Lu have a good rest." Zhou Guifei didn't answer her doubts, pulled people and walked out, and before leaving, she didn't forget to let people take them to the door.
As soon as they left, the expression on Lu Li's face changed: "Madam, how do you feel now?" ”
An Xiabai raised his head, and the pain on his skin was gone: "You can see it?" ”
Lu Li snorted lightly, saying that if he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have helped her act together at all: "When I was at home, I saw you take something from the cabinet, and I guessed that you would do something today, but I didn't expect that you would use your body as a bet." ”
Recalling An Xiabai's expression at the banquet when he covered his stomach and stared at himself, Lu Li felt in a trance that the sky was about to fall: "Don't test poison again in the future, okay?" ”
He'll be worried.
"Okay, just this once, not for example!" An Xiabai smiled and nodded, raised his hand and swore an oath.
Even if he got her personal promise, Lu Li still felt a little uneasy, he held the person tightly in his arms, and was thinking about how to deal with the Fengyi Zhu who gave his wife a headache in the future, An Xiabai suddenly opened his mouth and said: "I heard that the prince of the enemy country is greedy for beauty, aren't we negotiating with them now, it is better to send him the portrait of the thirteenth princess, it is best to let him take the initiative towards the thirteenth princess, and when we replace the conditions in the future, we can send her over." ”
Peace and affinity is a common alliance method between countries, and it is not useless or a bit humiliating.
Lu Li shook his head solemnly, and directly objected: "No." ”
Since the beginning of the dynasty, there are not many precedents for the princess and relatives in our country, and now if the portrait of the thirteenth princess is sent to the prince of the enemy country, if he is really tempted by the time, I am afraid that it will be their country that will be embarrassed.
"If it were me, the matter of harmony would never be put on the surface." Lu Li said indifferently.
An Xiabai frowned half-way, and directly pushed Lu Li away: "Why, is it true that you are really interested in the Thirteenth Duke, so you are unwilling to send her portrait over?" She lowered her face and pretended to be sad, "I didn't expect your husband to change your mind, is it her appearance that attracts you, or is her background and status that makes your husband excited?" ”
Lu Li furrowed his brows tightly, and said with an embarrassed denial: "I have never had any intention of her. ”
"Then why don't you send it?" An Xia Bai raised an eyebrow and asked.
It seems that Feng Yi Zhu is really a threat to his wife, otherwise she would not hold a grudge to such an extent
Lu Li sighed, thinking that it was not up to him to decide whether to be in harmony with his relatives or not, the decision of the imperial court was mainly in the hands of the emperor, and he just sent a portrait to the prince of the enemy country, so it should not be a big problem.
As long as Madame is happy.
Lu Li nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll let people send it, madam, don't be angry with me." ”
And so agreed?
An Xiabai himself was very surprised: "Husband, are you sure you don't object again?" ”
She had thought of a good rhetoric and countermeasures to make Lu Li nod, but Lu Li actually agreed?
"As long as Madame is happy, anything is fine." Lu Li smiled and said, "I don't have any feelings for her, nor do I have any feelings for the royal family, and I even have a family feud as deep as the sea, why don't I agree?" ”
An Xiabai then remembered that he had overlooked one thing, the hatred between Lu Li's family and the royal family.
It is estimated that the house raiding incident he experienced in his childhood still caused a shadow on him.
"Husband," An Xiabai rubbed like a kitten in Lu Li's arms, and said softly, "You believe me, everything you want in the future will fall into your hands, and hatred will definitely be repaid." ”
Lu Li snorted and said, "I don't know, madam, when did you learn fortune telling from Tang Zongzong?" ”
An Xia smiled without saying a word.
At the same time, Zhou Guifei had just returned to her bedroom with the frightened Fengyi Zhu.
As soon as she entered the gate and opened the people, she said to Feng Yi Zhu with a cold face: "You kneel down for me!" ”
The anger on Zhou Guifei's face was undisguised, and Feng Yi Zhu could see that she was angry no matter how dull she was, so she quickly knelt on the ground, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, don't you believe me either?" ”
She really didn't poison Shou Tao.
is not a fool, if something happens at the birthday banquet, the most humiliating person is herself, she won't dig such a big pit to bury herself, right?
"I don't dare to believe your words," Zhou Guifei said with a cold face, "How deep the contradiction between you and An Xiabai is, everyone can see clearly, if it weren't for you poisoning her longevity peach, who would do it, after all, she has always been low-key, and rarely has conflicts with others, you can't say that the poison was given to herself by herself, right?" ”
"It's not impossible," Feng Yi Zhu was moved, and hurriedly answered, "She also has a deep opinion of me, how do you know that she will definitely not poison Shou Tao in order to frame me?" ”
Zhou Guifei tightened her brows, carefully recalling An Xiabai's expression at that time, her face was ugly at that time, and even the tears in her eyes were not pretended.
"Just like you said just now, this palace doesn't believe that An Xiabai would dig such a big hole for himself."
No matter who caused Shou Tao's poison, Feng Yi Zhu felt that it was most important to clear his suspicions now!
She got up from the ground, walked quickly to Zhou Guifei's side, took her arm and said: "Mother, I grew up under your nose since I was a child, you should know better than me what kind of character is, I did a little bad thing, but I really wouldn't do this kind of brainless thing at my birthday banquet." ”
Not to mention whether the poison will kill people, and whether An Xiabai will be investigated afterwards, just the sound of the onlookers talking about it, Feng Yi Zhu felt that he couldn't stand it.
She raised her face and said to Zhou Guifei: "Mother, you really have to believe me, I didn't poison me!" ”
"I believe in you." After Zhou Guifei hesitated in every way, she finally chose to give in, "Maybe there is someone else who poisoned the longevity peach eaten by An Xiabai, but as far as the current situation is concerned, your crime cannot be cleared." ”
"Those who are clear will clear themselves!" Fengyi Zhu straightened his waist and said, "If you don't poison it, you don't poison it, I'm not afraid of being slandered and framed by others." ”
She felt that the emperor was so heavy on herself, and he would definitely be on her side when the time came.
"It's useless for you to just talk," Zhou Guifei sighed and said, "Shou Tao was handed to An Xiabai by you, and she was also poisoned after eating Shou Tao, if the queen added fuel to this matter to the emperor, you will only have to confess your guilt, and the emperor will not believe your pale and weak explanation." ”
Now that the queen has gone to the imperial study, it is estimated that she has already made the matter clear to the emperor, and now she wants to stop it, it is estimated that it is too late.
Not only did Fengyi Zhu have a melancholy look on his face, but even Concubine Zhou began to get anxious.
"Are we just going to sit back and wait?" Feng Yi Zhu almost couldn't hold back his tears, "If my father is angry, we will all be upset, mother, you have to think of a way!" ”
Zhou Guifei tightly twisted her sleeves, and suddenly her mind moved, and she had a countermeasure: "I have a way." ”
Feng Yi Zhu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked what the solution was.
"Zhu'er, you are my child," she hugged the person tightly in her arms, and said softly, "Our mother and daughter are both prosperous and lossy, if you bear the charge of poisoning people for no reason, both of us will be uncomfortable, but I am not easy to come forward in this matter, so you can only come forward and explain to the emperor." ”
Feng Yi Zhu asked suspiciously: "Mother, what do you think I should say?" ”
"When the emperor is in a good mood, go and explain the matter to him clearly, no matter what he asks, you must insist that An Xiabai framed you, do you understand what I mean?"
