Chapter 64: Temporary Things
*
Li Yunshen was not in a hurry to respond to Empress Li's disbelief, but stared at him and said, "Can Niangniang understand his good intentions in doing this?" He did this so that my Li family would not become a pawn of others because of his family affection. And some people keep this matter strictly secret, and it is precisely for the exact opposite purpose. ”
After listening to this, Empress Li tightly grasped Li Yunshen's hands, finally relaxed, and slowly drooped down, the whole person stood stiff but weak in place, only two lines of tears were still gurgling; The former high-minded and sassy Fengzi disappeared in an instant, and became depressed and pitiful, even those who held a grudge against her could not help but sigh for her.
She seemed to be unable to extricate herself from the scene that day when she seemed to be able to save her brother's life, and muttered: "This palace doesn't care about this, this palace doesn't care about this...... As long as the elder brother is safe and sound, as long as the elder brother is safe and sound, the main palace is safe and sound......"
"Niangniang," Li Yunshen paced to Empress Li's side and said, "If you want Li Xin to be safe and sound, then do you want to know what he wants?" ”
Empress Li stopped and looked sideways at Li Yunshen.
"He wants you to live well." Li Yunshen raised his head and said, "My father often taught us how to be kind to others, how to be left and right, how to gain the trust of the Son of Heaven without attracting the jealousy of colleagues, even if there is a big change, at least we can retreat and protect ourselves." Li Xin had a deep friendship with the imperial party at the beginning, and he was an enemy of the Taishi everywhere, and he must have expected that there would be today. He fought for his life, not only for the community, for the Son of Heaven, but also for you, the queen. He has a spirit in heaven, and he must not want to see his mother convicted of misdeeds and never return home. ”
After hearing this, Empress Li thought that her dear husband and brother had died one after another, and now she was stranded in this forbidden palace by the empress who had old grievances with her, miserable and helpless, and her tears were flooding like a broken embankment, and she couldn't help but cry bitterly. But when I thought about it, I thought that Gao Tang was still there, as long as I could leave the palace, I would be able to get together with them and get relied on, and I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart.
"But...... Your Majesty will not forgive this palace......" Empress Li couldn't cry.
Li Yunshen looked into the distance, "I heard that Your Majesty wants Niangniang to bring the things she stored with Niangniang, so she is willing to see Niangniang." ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have anything to store in the palace......" Empress Li always thought that it must be Zuo Ying's deliberate excuse to make things difficult for her.
"You don't joke." Li Yunshen pursed his lips lightly, "This palace may be able to help Niangniang recall what His Majesty has deposited with Niangniang." ”
Empress Li hurriedly wiped her tears from her sleeves and looked at Li Yunshen eagerly.
Li Yunshen also turned his head, "Why don't you think back to what Your Majesty said at that time when she was used by a traitor and led someone to break into Yongning Palace?" ”
Empress Li was stunned at first when Li Yunshen said this, and then she sobbed and contemplated carefully, and roughly reviewed the situation that day. When she recalled that at that time, her chamberlain kicked Scarlet Feather in the chest, and Zuo Ying promised that "the hands and feet of these minions have been recorded in the account", Queen Li suddenly had a feeling of disbelief, but suddenly realized. Until now, Zuo Ying's sharp gaze and the smile on the corner of her mouth at that time are still vivid.
"Could it be ......" Empress Li looked at Li Yunshen with a little reluctance to believe it, and raised her jade hand tremblingly to cover her lips.
Li Yunshen had already made a gesture of sending off guests, and said lightly: "Niangniang is so self-conscious." ”
Watching Queen Li's lonely back gradually fade away, a cunning smile appeared on the corner of Li Yunshen's mouth.

Zuo Ying recuperated in Qingquan Palace for a few days, slept and ate all day long, all kinds of supplements and medicines were endless, and her body was almost better, although she was still a little weak, but there was no big problem.
Although there is good food and accommodation in this Qingquan Palace, and Li Yunshen's care is also meticulous, Zuo Ying knows that he can't stay too long in such a comfortable place - when the emperor is still alive, those people below who have ghosts can show their powers; If the emperor is bedridden for a few more days, why don't they come to the sea and Sun Dasheng turn the sky upside down? Therefore, without waiting for the illness on her body to be completely cured, Zuo Ying had already ordered to drive back to the Yi Shen Temple.
When he returned to the Yishen Temple, Zuo Ying finally saw the familiar figure of Scarlet Feather after a long absence, among the many palace people who knelt on both sides of the temple door to greet him.
After the palace people finished paying their respects, Zuo Ying stopped the scarlet feather who was about to retreat with everyone.
Zuo Ying could see that the face of Scarlet Feather, who came forward quietly, was as quiet as before, and the look of surprise was fleeting, and then revealed a kind of complicated apprehension.
"Don't kneel, let me take a good look at you."
Zuo Ying looked at the scarlet feather standing in front of him, only to see that he had changed into a man's clothes, a moon-white deep coat made his thin figure look more upright and clear, and his long black hair was still draped up to the shoulders as before and neatly tied behind him, the originally beautiful and delicate facial features were now judged by the aesthetic standards of men, and became another unique beauty that perfectly combines femininity and masculinity, gentleness and charm.
Scarlet Feather stood in front of Zuo Ying, her head slightly bowed, and a faint flush appeared on her fair cheeks.
"You've lost weight, and you seem to have grown taller." Zuo Ying looked at Scarlet Feather and said, "How is the injury on your body?" ”
An ordinary greeting, it didn't sound so simple to the palace maids next to them, they all knew that Scarlet Feather was the empress's savior, lest the empress blame herself for taking poor care of him and making him thinner and thinner, so they all showed nervous expressions.
Seeing that Scarlet Feather didn't answer immediately, one of them couldn't help but answer for him: "Back to Your Majesty, the medical officer said that Scarlet Feather's injury is no longer serious, but he told him to rest in bed more to help the wound heal." But in the past few days, in addition to eating and resting, he has almost stayed in the incense hall, kneeling in front of the tablet of the Emperor for a day, and the slaves and maids are unwilling to go back, saying that they want to pray for His Majesty, so that the Emperor can bless His Majesty and return to the palace as soon as possible. ”
Scarlet Feather looked very embarrassed when she heard the palace maid say this, and the flush on her face became more obvious in her anxiety, but she didn't know how to stop her from continuing because she had never been in the habit of interrupting others.
"Your Majesty......" When Scarlet Feather was finally able to speak, the palace maid had already finished speaking, "Scarlet Feather has not had time to greet His Majesty, and Scarlet Feather has already been favored by His Majesty, and Scarlet Feather is flattered and ashamed." ”
If someone else behaved like this, and said this again, Zuo Ying might think that he was hypocritical and ill-intentioned; But the one in front of her is Scarlet Feather, and Zuo Ying is willing to believe that this is all from the heart and completely unpretentious. But she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Why is there such a big unexplained doubt like him, who has saved her life many times, so that people can't put their hearts into it?
