Qing Ben is not guilty, but he is guilty of forty-four
The next day.
Wanchun Palace.
The thin Li Zhong looked left and right, cautiously leaned out from the shadows, tried again, took two steps back, hesitated again, and finally reached out and held the hand of Ryan, who had been holding it on one side, waiting for him.
After a short time, the two came to the back door of the Lizheng Palace.
Ruian looked left and right, and after signaling to Li Yun and Li Feng, who were guarding the door in person, he took Li Zhong into the Lizheng Palace.
After the hour of tea.
Mei Niang and Li Zhong sat opposite each other, but although Mei Niang was much smaller than Li Zhong, pregnant and had a poor complexion, no matter how she looked at it, she was more comfortable and plain than Li Zhong, who was tall and stubble but hunched over.
Li Zhong nodded:
"I don't know why Wu Niangniang summoned Zhong'er to come, why ......"
"His Royal Highness King Chen is well, and the concubine is deeply comforted.
Today, I came here but there are some things I want to share with His Royal Highness King Chen. ”
After Mei Niang finished speaking, Li Zhong immediately looked up at her:
For some reason, Mei Niang in front of him and the woman he had seen before who was like a fairy in the sky, but gentle and amiable, behind the samman, made him have a deep sense of fear......
Afraid, but also yearning, this is Li Zhong's mood at this time.
Yes, he nodded softly and said softly:
"Thank you for your kindness, I don't know ...... Niangniang"
"Can His Royal Highness King Chen remember this?"
Mei Niang waved her hand, and Wen Niang on one side immediately appeared in front of Li Zhong with a box of things, and when he saw the contents of the box, his eyes widened.
Mei Niang completely ignored his shocked face, but smiled faintly, reached out and picked up a piece of that thing in front of her, looked at it carefully, and said slowly:
"This thing is called ice cake, and in the entire Taiji Palace, the people who love to eat it are very extreme.
But there is only one thing, but there is no one like me, who likes to make it with thick powder.
But it's not surprising......
I love to eat ice cream with thick powder, and it's not just a matter of a few days......"
As she spoke, she sent the pastry to her mouth, but before she could enter her mouth, Li Zhong, who suddenly jumped up and shouted, knocked the pastry off.
Mei Niang was not shocked or surprised, but just raised her eyes to look at him lightly.
"This ...... Can't eat...... Can't eat......
You don't ...... Can't eat! ”
Li Zhong's whole body trembled violently, even his lips trembled, trembling, he said this sentence with all his strength.
Mei Niang looked at him, and Ryan looked at him too.
He just trembled and looked at Mei Niang:
"Who......
Who knows......
Who ......"
Mei Niang nodded and laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes:
"Originally, if His Royal Highness King Chen didn't ask this, I would have told His Royal Highness King Chen......
It's just that I naturally have to mention His Highness a little bit later.
However, at the moment, it seems that His Royal Highness King Chen really lives up to the painstaking efforts of Liu Gong's servants, and truly understands the meaning of Taoguang's obscurity.
Yes, I like to eat thick-based flour ice cream, and everyone in the palace knows about it.
But there's one thing......"
Mei Niang looked at the ground, and her words were like ice beads:
"The ice cream that your mother eats, the powder used is not ordinary thick-based powder, it is a kind of thing called demon yam, or konjac.
This thing is rare in Datang, and it is slightly poisonous, and taking it can make people have a swollen throat and cannot speak......
The most terrible thing is that this substance is not only poisonous, but also has a property, that is, once it absorbs water, it will swell quickly......
Your mother can't eat for a few days, and when she suddenly gets this thing, she naturally tries to eat as much as possible.
But it's okay to make a pastry, it's just a piece of powder, if it gets into your stomach, drink some water......"
Mei Niang raised her eyes and looked at him:
"What do you think it will be?"
Li Zhong was swinging all over, as if he had malaria, and only after a while did he say softly:
"This thing......
This thing is also ...... in the Niangniang Palace.
Really? ”
"Originally, there was none, because it was harmful to the fetus."
Mei Niang got up slowly, stood up with difficulty, looked at Li Zhong and said:
"But a few days ago, His Royal Highness also knew that this Lizheng Hall was implicated in a dispute between Cui Guifei and a certain concubine, and the cat ran in, and for a while, the chickens and dogs in the palace jumped, and there was chaos......"
She ......
She's trying to hurt you, isn't she? ”
Li Zhong's eyes were as red as fire, and his fists were clenched tightly:
"But it didn't hurt you......
So I thought about using this to hurt my mother, and it made me stop thinking about my mother and concentrate on treating her......
Second, secondly, it will make you bear the charge of attempting to murder her, but killing innocent people in vain......
Yes and no? ”
Mei Niang smiled faintly, but was silent.
……
Half an hour later.
After seeing off the depressed Li Zhong, Mei Niang relaxed and sat down with a tired face.
Wen Niang looked at her and said softly:
"Why does my sister refuse to accept His Royal Highness King Chen?
I looked at him, but he was courted to his sister several times, and he was close to him!
If he had just told him that his sister had already taken on the matter of his acceptance of him as his heir before her mother's death, surely he would not have lived so frightened? ”
Mei Niang shook her head and said:
"No...... No way.
I know what you mean, but I can't do that.
After being an imperial family, he is the eldest son of the emperor......
If he can't always be prepared for danger in times of peace, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to live to the rite of adulthood......
Therefore, it is better to tell him to stay with the queen.
First, with him by the queen's side, it is natural that everything must pay attention to decency and kung fu, so as not to be realistic, and there is hope.
When there is hope, when you start doing things, you will naturally be tied to your hands and feet, and it is not very convenient.
Her inconvenience, but it is our great convenience.
Second......"
Mei Niang shook her head lightly, thoughtfully:
"Today's speech, he can be regarded as full of true temperament......
Wen Niang, do you think this kid is more able to hide his thoughts than Jiro? ”
Only then did Wen Niang understand:
"My sister is worried that once such a child is heir to her own son......
I'm afraid that there will be some worries about raising tigers?
But you promised that Liu Yunruo before......"
"Naturally, I promised her, and I didn't mean to break the contract.
But when will this be the heir to him......"
When Mei Niang said this, she couldn't help but think of Li Zhong's seemingly plain eyes, and before she knew it, her body was slightly cold:
"Let's wait a minute, and we'll talk to Jiro about it!"
The other side.
Li Zhong after returning to the Wanchun Palace.
He sat calmly in front of his couch, looking in the direction of the queen and queen, with an indifferent and detached expression.
On the side, Yong'an, who had grown up with him since childhood, stepped forward and whispered:
"Your Highness, let's rest early......
Tomorrow, how much more is there to do? ”
Li Zhong smiled faintly, and his expression was like crying:
"Tomorrow?
What's going on tomorrow? ”
"That's it......
It's those things that are behind ......."
"You said it, that's after the fact."
Li Zhong said softly as if he smelled something ridiculous:
"Since it's a posthumous matter, it naturally won't be known to my mother.
She didn't know herself, so what's the use of doing this?
But it's for the living. ”
Yong'an's nose was sour, but he never dared to speak.
Li Zhong was silent for a while, then turned his head and looked in the direction of the Lizheng Palace.
Yongan sighed slightly:
"Your Highness, don't think about it......
Since Wu Niangzi has such an attitude, it shows that she is indeed not suitable to accept His Royal Highness as her heir at this moment......
After all, she is also going to add a little brother or little sister to His Highness now.
I'm afraid that I can't accept His Highness as my heir......
You can't blame her! ”
"I didn't blame her, never meant it."
Li Zhong said calmly:
"Among this series of things, if there is any one who is the most innocent, the least should be involved......
That's her......
She's the more innocent woman like my mother......
But I never understood why?
Why, exactly?
Why did the Queen Mother insist that she die?!
Isn't she very kind to the queen mother?
The queen mother has done so many things to be sorry for her, but she doesn't want to hurt the queen mother......
It's enough to just blindly think about saving your own life......
Why? ”
Li Zhong asked himself, and seemed to ask Yong'an.
Yongan thought about it for a while, but plucked up the courage to say:
"This ...... Could this have something to do with that proverb? ”
Li Zhong had never heard of this, so he was naturally stunned:
"Proverbs?
What proverbs? ”
Yong'an naturally knew that Li Zhong didn't know, but on weekdays, because he always felt that these words were nonsense, and he was in the Wanchun Palace, this kind of place was not suitable for talking about this, so he thought that he would simply take this opportunity to explain everything to Li Zhong clearly, so he told Li Zhong that one truth and one falsehood, and two proverbs of the year, and said:
“…… Because Uncle Yuan really doesn't like the proverbs that someone has the same evaluation as Empress Xianwende, he thinks that Wu Niangzi was born humblely and humble, and once served as a servant of the first emperor, such a proverb is really a blasphemy to the famous grandson and the former Empress Wende, and when the first emperor was there, it was really too sharp, and it was natural for people to be suspicious......
So at present, these newcomers in the palace know a lot about the false proverb of 'the heroine Wu's family, the third generation of Tang died', but they don't know the true proverb of 'After being a martial girl, Tang Sandaichang'.
Yong'an also learned about it because of an occasional occasion, when he talked to several old palace ladies in the Lizheng Palace, he heard them praise how much the martial lady had the style of the first queen, which shows that the true proverb of the generous master Chrysostom is not bad at all. ”
Li Zhong turned his head suddenly:
"What do you say?
What do you mean by 'Hou is a warrior girl, Tang San Daichang'?
Make it clear! ”
Seeing this, Yongan explained the meaning of this sentence to Li Zhong again, and then said:
"Speaking of which, if this proverb is really true, then the martial lady will naturally be jealous of the queen.
After all, Yuan Dafangshi's proverbs, Chrysostom and Jade are not at all fake.
In other words, this martial lady is destined to be the one who wants to be the queen!
It's just that, she also has a hard life, obviously when she was the first emperor, she entered the palace as a talented person, but she has never been able to be named a concubine, and even now, she has a dragon heir, and it seems that she can only be a concubine......
What's more, at present, the Taiyuan Wang clan is powerful and powerful, and the position is high and respectful......
It's just that Wu Niangzi has nothing to rely on, are those who are not angry in her own family, and Uncle Yuan hates her so much......
Alas, I really don't know what kind of fulfillment method is going to be used for this proverb of 'after being a martial artist, Tang San Daichang'.
Could it be true that it is the same as those old palace people said, that she must wait until a hundred years after Uncle Yuan, and the fourth generation of good lords ascend the throne, so that she can be crowned the queen......
Li Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up:
Four generations of good lords have ascended the throne, can she be the queen......
Is Datang Wangxing......
Four generations are the next generation......
“…… Alas, it's true, if so, Wu Niangzi is really pitiful, it seems that she can only wait for Your Highness to ascend the throne and make her the queen mother...... ......"
Yongan finally noticed the fanaticism in Li Zhong's eyes:
"Your Highness...... Your Highness? ”
It's a pity that Li Zhong didn't hear him, but just repeated it in his heart:
Four generations of good lords ascended the throne, and she could be the queen......
Oh, yes!
If she is the queen, then the Wang family, the slut who killed her mother, and the Xiao family, the slut who bullied the king all day long......
They don't have to worry about it......
With her, she will inevitably become the strongest sword in my hands......
Yes......
As long as she's ......
As long as she can be a queen......
