Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Spring Breeze Blows and Grows Again
Yes, there is one more person who can save me, Ancheng Wang Chen Xuan! However, the Yilan Hall is guarded by guards, and no one in the palace is allowed to step out, it is impossible for Qinglan to go out of the palace gate to deliver a message for me, so there is only Qin Wanxi in front of her, if she is willing to save me......
I didn't take the wine glass, but gently attached it to Qin Wanxi's ear, and said low and heavy: "For the sake of me helping you, ask someone to bring a message to King An Cheng, saying that Your Majesty wants to kill me, and I beg him to save me!" Although the voice was soft, it was a hundred thousand anxious tones, and I looked at her eagerly and pleadingly, "Reading on your old feelings, King An Cheng will listen to you whatever you say, please, help me!" ”
Qin Wanxi gently shook my hand, and immediately hurried back to the palace, looking at her departing figure, I knew that she agreed.
I was anxious, hoping that she could invite Chen Ji to save me as soon as possible, but I was afraid that she would not be able to catch up. The two chamberlains kept urging me, and even took wine glasses to force me to drink poisoned wine.
I stepped back and said angrily: "Bold, I am Hua Shurong personally sealed by His Majesty, I see which of you dares!" At this time, I can only take out Chen Qian's name to deter them.
The two chamberlains sneered, "Who doesn't know that Niangniang is just a sinner now, and her death is approaching." Now it's different from the past, no matter how beautiful the mother used to be, now she is just a prisoner, and she still wants to put the master's money! ”
I snorted coldly and raised my voice: "No matter how down-and-out I am now, I am still the master." If I don't want to drink, don't any of you try to force me. If you let Your Majesty know, you have good fruit to eat! ”
The waiter sneered, "Your Majesty wants Niangniang to die, as long as Niangniang dies, the slave's errand will be over, who will know if Niangniang is willing to die or forced." ”
Seeing the fierce light in the eyes of the two chamberlains, I knew that something was wrong, and clenched my fists and tried to resist by force, but I found that I could not use my strength. I smelled a strange fragrance from the two chamberlains between my noses, and I secretly screamed in my heart. These two chamberlains must be the people arranged by Yan Shuyuan, she was afraid that I would die if I was not willing, so she used incense to soften me!
My body was held down by the two attendants, and I struggled desperately, and I was not willing to die like this. During the struggle, I fell hard, and my head was hit by the edges and corners of the stone steps, and I suddenly had an unbearable headache and a dizziness in front of my eyes.
In the chaos, I was grabbed by two chamberlains, my jaw was pinched, and poisoned wine was poured into my throat.
"Stop!"
"Doctor Chuan, come and save people!"
In the fog, I seemed to hear Chen Ji's voice, so eager, so flustered, so sad.
My body staggered and fell, and my eyes were so heavy that I couldn't open them anymore, as if there were pear blossoms all over the ground pounced on me, covering my body softly. I smiled bitterly, am I going to die, and this pear snow quilt in the sky to see me off?
It seemed as if someone was shaking my body, and the sounds of screaming and crying were intertwined in my ears. It seemed to be Chen Wanxi's crazy and eager call, and it seemed to be Qin Wanxi's low sobbing. Unfortunately, I can't hear it......
——
Yan Shuyuan died, and I personally ordered someone to pour poisoned wine into her mouth, just like the two attendants poured poisoned wine into my mouth at the beginning.
My life was saved by Chen Ji. It is said that when Chen Ji called the imperial doctor to save me, the imperial doctor did not dare to treat me because I was a criminal concubine who was ordered to be executed by the emperor, or Chen Ji put a knife on their necks and forced them to save my life by forcing them to save my life. After that, Chen Qian went to Chen Qian to plead guilty for trespassing in the harem, and repeatedly asked Chen Qian to re-investigate my fornication with Zhou Guo to prove my innocence. Chen Qian was moved, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and finally found out that Yunxi and the chamberlain were both instructed by Yan Shuyuan to forge letters and imitate my handwriting to frame me. Chen Qian was furious, sent these two people down, sent the detained envoy of Zhou back to China, and killed the two chamberlains who forcibly poured me poisonous wine, and at the same time ordered Yan Shuyuan to be killed.
As for Wang Guifei, she was fined and confined because she was unclear about the person, could not tell right from wrong, and made a big mistake, and even Wang Chonghua was confined for one year. However, soon, the imperial physician found that Wang Guifei was pregnant, and remembered her heir, and the emperor exempted Wang Guifei from punishment.
It seems that everything has settled, and Yan Shuyuan, the culprit who trapped me in death, is finally dead, which can be said to be a fortunate thing, but I am blind.
When I woke up, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. The imperial doctor said that I had suffered a severe brain injury, blood stasis and coagulation, blocking the eye meridians, and causing blindness.
Chen Qian's chin rested against my smooth forehead and hugged me tightly, "I believe that you and Yuwen Yong have no personal relationship, as long as you are still by my side, I don't care about the past." ”
I was indifferently held by him without saying a word, and all kinds of humiliation and unwillingness surging in my chest, pain and resentment almost tore my heart apart. However, I just bit my lip and held back.
Hou Andu returned to the dynasty from Dongyang Pingchao, and at this time came the news that Concubine Kong was pregnant, Hou Andu was overjoyed, and when he feasted with the emperor, and when he was full of wine, Hou Andu asked: "How is Your Majesty now the king of Linchuan compared to before?" The emperor didn't answer, Hou An asked again and again, and the emperor had no choice but to answer: "Although this is the mandate of heaven, it is also the power of Hou Qing." After the banquet, Hou Andu borrowed a dragon boat from the emperor to play, and planned to bring his wife and concubine into the palace for a banquet. The next day, Hou Andu feasted guests in the palace, and actually sat on the emperor's seat, and the emperor was even more displeased.
In July, Dongyang left a rebel army in Fang Ping, and Zhou Di, the general of Linchuan Zhennan, rebelled, and the ministers strongly recommended Hou Andu. However, the emperor ignored the advice of the ministers of the court, changed the edict and ordered Wu Mingche, the general of Anyou, and Chen Ji, the king of Ancheng, to go to the crusade and mobilize the army to send troops to Linchuan.
It can be seen from this that the emperor is increasingly dissatisfied with Hou An. Hou Andu is a person who thinks that he has made great contributions to the world, does not follow the rules of etiquette, is arrogant and arrogant, treats the palace as his own home, his wife and concubines drink happily, and even dare to sit on the emperor's seat. With such arrogance and disrespect, it is no wonder that the emperor was dissatisfied with him, suspected that he was anti-minded, and was wary.
No emperor can tolerate a courtier who surpasses himself and does not abide by the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.
In 563 A.D., the emperor invited Hou Andu to a banquet in the Jiade Palace, arrested him during the banquet, imprisoned the Western Province, and summoned his subordinates to the Shangshu court, seized his weapons and released, and Cai Jingli, a scholar in the middle of the house, read out the text and announced the crime of Hou Andu's rebellion. The next day, Hou An was given to die. The emperor remembered that he had made meritorious contributions to Sheji during his lifetime, and issued an edict to bury Hou Andu and pardon his family.
In this year, Wang Guifei gave birth to the twelve princes and was named Bozhi. Kong Guifei gave birth to the thirteenth prince and was named Bomou.
I heard that Concubine Kong wanted to see me, so I was helped by Qinglan. This is the first time I came to Chonghua Palace, I heard that Concubine Kong likes luxury, Chonghua Palace is arranged in a poor and luxurious manner, the wall carving is carved and depicted, the gold bricks are paved, the windows are sunny, and the jade fire can be seen everywhere, and it is extremely rich. Unfortunately, I was not blessed to watch it.
"I heard that yesterday, the eldest prince of Hou Dun unfortunately fell from a horse and died, and the sister of the concubine should mourn." I will not recount the news that Qinglan has inquired about.
"Huh!" Hearing this, Concubine Kong sneered sarcastically, "Accidents, how can there be so many accidents in this world, someone wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
The eyes can't see, the sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and Kong Guifei, who is sitting next to her, has a light smell of Du Yu incense, I smiled softly: "Sister Guifei has a very good smell of Du Yu, I sit so close to Sister Guifei, and my body has never been stained with half of Du Yu incense." Coincidentally, once in the palace, I saw Hou Dungongzi once, and his body was so fragrant with a fragrant Du Yu fragrance. How close are Hou Dungongzi and Sister Guifei to have such fragrant Du Yu incense on their bodies? ”
Concubine Kong's voice became alert, "What do you want to say?" ”
I looked calm, and said unhurriedly: "Hou Dungongzi accidentally dropped a sachet and was picked up by me, which was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and also embroidered the word 'Qing'. I asked Hou Dun if the sachet was made by Mrs. Hou, and Hou Gongzi did not deny it. But in my opinion, that sachet was not made by Mrs. Hou, and Hou Dungongzi was deliberately concealing it. ”
"The 'Qing' on it has faded and turned white, which must be caused by Hou Dungongzi taking it to look at it every day. If it is really made by Mrs. Hou, you only need to treasure the sachet, why watch it every day? It can be seen that the person who embroidered this sachet is the beloved person of Hou Gongzi, who can only peep at people with objects and look at each other. It's really pitiful, there are lovers who can't get married, and they are forced to separate themselves. I sighed faintly, and the corners of my lips hooked up a weird smile, "Coincidentally, Sister Guifei's boudoir name also has a Qing character." Qingqing, what a good name. ”
"What else do you know?" Concubine Kong's voice became unusually sharp.
"Everyone said that the concubine was arrogant and arrogant and could not be favored by the emperor, but they didn't know that my sister was arrogant and arrogant because she had no intention of His Majesty to annoy her. Others think that my sister is beautiful, but she has no brains and doesn't know how to please His Majesty, but in fact, my sister is the smartest. Hou An didn't have a daughter, so he sent his niece to the palace. Sister, you entered the palace to repay your uncle's nurturing kindness, who would have thought that Lord Hou Andu would end up like this, and even Hou Gongzi would not be spared. In my sister's heart, I must hate Your Majesty very much. ”
"Why don't you hate him so much?" Concubine Kong's voice trembled slightly with hatred, "Everyone else thinks that you Xiao Qingqiang has taken all the grace and has unlimited scenery. But only I know that you are unhappy, and your eyes show hatred and unwillingness. You hate him, and you are not willing to be locked in this cold palace for the rest of your life. Just like me, I can't wait to have wings and want to fly out of here all the time! ”
"Uncle Xu is a little arrogant and reckless, but he is loyal to His Majesty and has absolutely no objections. If Your Majesty is dissatisfied with him, you can remove him from his official position, so why kill him. He was so ruthless and unjust, regardless of the friendship between kings and ministers for many years, he was punished for treason, and let his uncle die unjustly! It seemed that the pain was unbearable, and I heard Kong Guifei's extremely suppressed cry.
