Thank you Karan Weiwei for your reward~~~ Rabbit is patient with you~~ At the same time, thank you to the relatives who voted for the rabbit~~ By the way, I made a survey about who the heroine gave for the first time, and the rabbit pondered that it was too early, after all, there was a heavyweight character who didn't appear, so we can't be too partial; And it's a bit far away, hehe, so I'll close it for now. But although the previous data did not participate in many relatives, the rabbit remembered it~~ The rabbit got a new survey, welcome to express your opinions~~)

Li Yunshen led Empress Li to the side hall, invited her to sit down, and asked the palace people to serve tea, and said with a pleasant face: "Queen Mother, please use tea." ”

Seeing this posture, it was obviously not like letting her see His Majesty, Empress Li couldn't hold her breath again, but she didn't dare to easily clash with Li Yunshen again, she just dared to play a little bit of a role because of the status of the long house in the family, and said coldly: "This palace wants to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Yunshen took a sip of the tea in his cup, and said with a warm smile: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see Niangniang." ”

"Then you called Bengong in, did you sincerely want to ridicule Bengong?!" The suppression of anger in his heart was finally declared in vain, and this son born to Noai, who was as unbearable as his mother, really lost no time in falling into the well! In Queen Li's opinion, the brighter Li Yunshen's smile was, the more she wanted to scratch it with her own hands.

She straightened her waist angrily, and her silver teeth clenched, "Li Yunshen, don't think that it's great to be favored now." The Li family is not yours alone, don't say that the father and brother of this palace, that is, the other Li clan members and Li protégés who are officials, which are longer than you in the court, and have real talents and real learning than you; Even if the elder brother is not reappointed for a while, he can speak one word in the clan better than you say ten; Your tricks of deceiving and bewitching Your Majesty by slapping horses with sloppy whiskers and exaggerating words will be seen through sooner or later, and this palace will depend on how you end up! ”

Li Yunshen's smile was still the same, although it seemed to Empress Li with a hint of insidiousness. He took another sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Niangniang has been away from home for too long, and what you know is probably ten years ago." ”

This sentence made Empress Li, who was full of resentment and had not yet erupted, really sink in her heart - she had indeed not known about the affairs of her family for a long time, except for a little knowledge of who entered the court and who was promoted from family letters and visits from relatives, she knew very little, and the forces behind it were even more unclear about the growth and decline of personnel entanglements. Especially after the emperor's coffin was buried, according to the rules, the concubines of the palace could no longer contact their families before the end of the mourning period, so the news was even more closed.

"And that's - the mother didn't know about it yet." Li Yunshen's tone suddenly deepened, as if the blazing sun suddenly turned cloudy, which made people suddenly feel suspicious.

Empress Li's angry eyes stared at Li Yunshen, as if she was asking, "What do you know?" ”

"Niangniang, Li Xin committed suicide in prison before waiting for the time to amnesty the world."

Li Yunshen's bland words fell into the ears of Queen Li like thunder on the flat ground and a thunderbolt on a sunny day! She froze for a second, then suddenly stood up with a "whoosh", staggered to Li Yunshen's case without caring about picking up the hem of her skirt, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?" What did you say? What did you say?! One sentence is stronger than the other, and by the time of the last sentence, the tone is almost crazy.

When Empress Li was young, her father was fighting abroad all the year round, and her brother Li Xin really took on the role and responsibility of "eldest brother as father", and he was smart and sensible at a young age, and took care of his sister and mother meticulously. It wasn't until later that Empress Li entered the palace as the princess, and she had the most opportunities to get along with her brother who was the prince's companion, so the relationship between brother and sister has always been very deep. The status of her brother in her heart and life is no less than that of her parents, so she knew that she would commit a serious crime that day, and she was willing to take risks in order to save her brother in prison.

She thought that her brother had been pardoned, but when she suddenly heard the sad news that her brother had passed away, how could she not be saddened in her heart?

Li Yunshen motioned for the palace people who were waiting to retreat, and then said slowly: "Li Xin's funeral was personally handled by the palace, and it was precisely because of the three days of the funeral that the palace postponed the time to enter the palace. The queen mother, please mourn. The Si people have passed away, and it is useless to grieve, so it is better to seek more for the present. ”

"It's you!" Before Li Yunshen could finish speaking, Queen Li suddenly grabbed Li Yunshen's front placket with both hands out of control, and shouted with fire in her eyes and tears: "If it weren't for you...... You killed my brother! You killed my brother! In order for yourself to be able to rise to the top and ascend to the sky, you did not hesitate to sacrifice your brother's life! ”

Li Yunshen knew what she meant.

The so-called "suicide" is the most deceptive rhetoric that can hide from the world and whitewash the peace, who can guarantee that Li Xin was not killed by Helan Chu and their means in the dark? If it weren't for Li Yunshen helping the empress return to the palace that day, how could Helan Chu, who had always been concerned about the Li family's power and keeping Li Xin's life, kill Li Xin in retaliation on the day the empress ascended the throne? Li Xin was obviously a victim of the Helan Chu Group and the Li Group's broken up. That's why Empress Li regarded Li Yunshen as the culprit who killed her brother.

"Mother, please refrain from it." Li Yunshen changed his usual habit of hippie smiles, his attitude was as light as autumn water, and his voice was not loud, but he was loud, "You and I do have the opportunity to save Li Xin's life, but that is at the cost of me Li Shi having formed a party with the national thieves since then, leaving a stench for 10,000 years and never turning over." This is not what my father wants to see, and it is not what the Li clan and Li protégés are willing to support. Didn't the brother know that his son was in prison? Didn't the father know that his grandson was in danger? The reason why I endured the pain like this was that I didn't want the Li family to be used by traitors, and Mingzhu secretly threw himself in. If you and I really did the thing of holding the prince hostage that day, the Li family would have already fallen apart today, and the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have been completely the world of national thieves. ”

Empress Li sobbed a few times, her eyes seemed to be thoughtful, but the hands that grabbed Li Yunshen's front did not relax at all, and she shook her mind vigorously and said, "This palace doesn't care!" Hongu doesn't care! As long as my brother is safe and sound! And you...... But he knew that he would be killed, and he would not be saved! Father and grandfather must have been unaware. It's you! deceived and deceived his superiors and subordinates, and was bent on killing his brother in exchange for his status and glory! ”

Seeing that Empress Li was unwilling to face the reality and her emotions became more and more out of control, Li Yunshen stood up, looked at Empress Li's hazy teary eyes and said, "Don't you want to know how he actually died?" ”

For the close relatives who have a deep relationship with the deceased, this is indeed the most cruel and torturous question in the world, but it is also a question they can't help but ask.

Empress Li finally fell silent and silent.

"He hanged himself, and no one persecuted him." Li Yunshen said in a calm tone: "Although the news came out after His Majesty ascended the throne, we have already asked the people in prison for verification afterwards, but the incident happened the day before His Majesty ascended the throne. ”

Empress Li's heart sank, "The day before Your Majesty ascended the throne", wasn't it the day she took the palace people to Yongning Palace to try to slander the princess for poisoning the emperor's diet? Could it be that my brother was dead by then?
