The gossip that the empress was tossed by the new concubine on her wedding night and couldn't get out of bed soon spread out, and within three days, the palace and the court were all spread all over the palace, and even the palace people in places like Shanhaiyuan, which was so remote that it was specially designed to raise rare and exotic beasts for the royal family, began to depict the "earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods" from the perspective of witnesses.

There are even good deeds who linked this incident with the empress's single-handedly breaking into the Taishi's mansion on the same day, and made the bold judgment that "the empress had no more feelings for the Taishi, and only went to Qingquan Palace to seek vent in retaliation after being rejected again". A few of the good writers have begun to dip in ink and lay paper, ready to write wild histories and begin to make a name for themselves.

Of course, this is just gossip, for the onlookers who don't know the truth and are entertained to death; Those who are really analytical can probably guess that the empress's illness is due to the impact of the Yuanqiu Rebellion on her body and mind, and the empress's visit to Qingquan Palace on the first day of returning to the palace is also a clear gesture that shows that she relies on the Li family.

The empress was recuperating in Qingquan Palace, and many important ministers in the court came to Qingquan Palace one after another to pay respects and inquire about her condition. Li Yunshen personally received several batches every day, and most of them accepted the greetings and sent them back, only a minister who was important happened to come when Zuo Ying was in good spirits and mood, and he had the opportunity to greet him in person.

This incident also made the people of Qingquan Palace have a good face, and they all suddenly reached the height of respect of the people of the Yishen Palace, and they all felt that their faces were shining when they saw people doing things, and the palace people of other palaces also looked at them a little differently.

At noon that day, there was a dispute outside the gate of Qingquan Palace, which attracted many people from the palace to secretly watch.

"Queen Mother, Aunt Liu, the villain deserves to die, but Your Majesty did tell you not to see the queen mother, and begged the queen mother not to make the villain and others embarrassed." One of the guards in front of the palace gate said to the person in front of him in a tone that was about to kneel. Several guards behind him also looked helpless.

"You dog minions!" The middle-aged palace maid known as Aunt Liu said in a fierce voice, "This is the queen's mother, Your Majesty's sister-in-law, knowing that Your Majesty is sick and came to visit, but it's just the details of the person, but you don't even pass it on, who gave you the dog guts of these minions?!" ”

When Aunt Liu spoke, Queen Li stood not far behind her and watched, with a sullen breath in her chest, but she could only bite her thin lips and suppress her resentment repeatedly. There were also a few palace people next to her, who came with greeting gifts. Since the last time she asked to see her, Empress Li knew that Zuo Ying didn't plan to easily forget the unpleasantness of the past, so she had restrained her actions a lot.

The reason why she was instigated to go to Yongning Palace to offend at that time was because she wanted to save her brother, and secondly, she didn't think that Zuo Ying could really take over the power, so she dared to do so; Unexpectedly, now that the world has changed, even her grandfather's power has leaned to Zuo Ying's side, and the newly favored concubine is still the wild species "Li Yunshen" that she hates to the bone, she knows that she is already isolated, and her future fate is completely in Zuo Ying's hands.

According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, once the first emperor died, his queen, imperial husband or imperial concubine with children will be given another title, and other concubines will be allowed to return home after three years of filial piety, and the new emperor's benevolent may also provide the same, and they will not worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Empress Li saw that the concubines of other palaces had successively received the decree and obtained arrangements, but her Fengyi Palace had not received the decree for a long time, and she was afraid that Zuo Ying would bring her personal grudges to the cold palace for the rest of her life, so she struggled again and again, but she could only let go of her arrogant posture and find a way to make peace again. 's father is far away at the border, and although the brother who was imprisoned before should have been pardoned because of the amnesty of the world, he can only be a commoner, and the only thing she relies on now is that she is also the granddaughter of Li Kaizong.

"Tell them so much and what to do!" Another guard, who was holding back his anger, finally couldn't stand it, stepped forward and pushed the original guard away, and shouted to Aunt Liu: "We have a holy purpose for this, if you can't let people in, you can't let people in, please go back!" ”

Aunt Liu is also an old fritter in the palace, and she has always followed the queen, but it is conceivable that she was also a majestic character in the past, how could she stand the confrontation of a little guard?

She crossed her waist and shouted, "Dog minion! Don't be blind! If you get chicken feathers as an arrow, you don't know what your last name is! If you are interested, let the queen mother go in, otherwise your majesty's aunt and sister-in-law will be prevented from meeting, and you dog slaves can't afford it! ”

The guard sneered and said, "Look at it, we are people from Qingquan Palace, not from your Fengyi Palace, and the words 'dog slave' are not your turn to scold!" If you are here again, you are spewing blood, disturbing Your Majesty's recuperation and rest, don't blame us for being impartial and merciless! ”

Although Empress Li lost power, because of her family, no matter what the palace thought in her heart, she was still respectful to her on the surface, and she had never been humiliated like this. Seeing that this servant was so unkind, she couldn't hold it back any longer, and without waiting for Aunt Liu to return her mouth, she stared at her with round apricot eyes, strode forward and scolded angrily: "Your Majesty has lived here for a few days, and you Concubine Yun has already indulged you minions so much that you don't take the master in your eyes; If Your Majesty is lucky to come a few more times, or if there are some small rewards, won't you all think that you are relatives of the emperor and run rampant in the palace?! ”

Seeing the queen's mother's anger, a few guards really cowered a little, moved their heels back, and looked at each other. But there are still one or two who have the tendency of "water to cover the earth", they are humble on the surface, and they said in a resolute tone: "Queen Mother, please be clear, this is Your Majesty's holy decree, and it has nothing to do with our Royal Highness Concubine Yun." Mother, please go back. ”

While the two sides were arguing, a refreshing voice came from the palace gate, "Why are you making a fuss?" ”

Everyone followed the sound and saw Li Yunshen walking out of the palace gate leisurely, with a smile on his face like morning light.

Seeing Li Yunshen, Queen Li was angry, and when she pushed aside everyone and stepped forward, she said angrily: "Li Yunshen ......"

"The queen mother is here, why don't you spread the word?" Li Yunshen asked loudly, overshadowing Queen Li's voice. And this sentence also made her swallow everything she wanted to say into her stomach at once.

Several guards hurriedly surrounded him and bowed his head and said, "The villain is guilty." ”

Regardless of whether it is wrong or not, first say "know the guilt", this is already the basic consensus of the palace people walking in the palace.

Li Yunshen stepped aside and smiled at Queen Li: "Queen Mother, please." ”

Although Empress Li was puzzled in her heart, her anger suddenly disappeared. She had no room to think, so she could only follow Li Yunshen's footsteps closely, like a fish out of the water chasing a rare opportunity to bring her back to life.
