"What you told you a few days ago, do you have to heart?" She asked the weight, "It's the fifteenth night of the lunar month." ”

I didn't eat breakfast, I was hungry at this time, I just picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables, and I couldn't help but put the chopsticks down again, and my face was quite impatient.

"What do you want to say? Remind me that the fourth lady of the night family is the person who is personally protected by the emperor? How can it be! Xiaohan, are you having a hypothesis, otherwise how could you have such thoughts? Will you make up such a story? ”

A few days ago, Empress Dowager Li told Quanji about going to Kneel Yanhua Palace on the fifteenth night of the lunar month. not only said that he was called to kneel, but also said that he would live in Yanhua Palace at night, and also talked about Yunchen Quan Qingcheng and Lian Shi and Shen'er and others ridiculing him.

She didn't dare to say these things to others, but she had to say them to Quanji. Now that the first emperor is gone, their orphans and widows can only rely on the regent to live, and power is her only reliance.

But I don't believe her words! Emperor Zun fell in love with the night Wen Yan? What a terrible thing this is, and how is it possible?

The balance felt that even if the sky on this continent fell, such a thing would never happen.

"The last time you said something like this to me, we had a quarrel, and today you bring it up again, do you want to quarrel with me again?" He asked Empress Dowager Li, "What do you want to do?" Although the east and west palaces coexist now, there is this king as a deacon in the court, and you have never been treated badly. What more do you want? ”

"I don't want to do anything!" Empress Dowager Li was anxious, "Quanji, why don't you believe me?" What I said is true, I have experienced it personally, I don't believe you ask Bao Toad! She was with me that night, and she went through everything I went through. ”

The regent still shook his head, "Bao Toad is your person, naturally he is the same tongue as you, what can this king ask him?" ”

"But what I said is true!"

"Whether it's true or not, this king doesn't want to hear it anymore. Since there is a table of food, it is time for this king to eat it well. If this king can't even eat a solid meal with you, then why does this king come here? Wouldn't it be better to go straight home? ”

Empress Dowager Li stopped talking, in the past, when the emperor was there, she could still talk to this imperial brother, but now that the imperial brother has become the imperial uncle and the regent, she has no confidence to discuss with him. Their mother and son still have to rely on others!

"Okay, I won't talk about it, you can eat!" She sat aside and personally distributed the dishes.

The power of this person looks like a scholar, but no one dares to really look at him as a scholar, and neither does Empress Dowager Li.

After eating half of the meal, the chopsticks of the weight were finally put down again, and he asked the Empress Dowager Li: "What are your plans?" ”

Empress Dowager Li was stunned for a moment, "Plans?" What do you mean? ”

"Qinglu's business, what are your plans?"

Empress Dowager Li's heart trembled, she was most afraid that this person would mention this, and she dodged a lot, but she still didn't dodge.

So I had to bite the bullet and say: "The third lady of the night family is pregnant, and I think it would be best if I could give birth to a boy, so that we can force the current little emperor to abdicate in the name of the grandson of the first emperor." Anyway, they are not pro-government, whether he is still our grandson, it is no different for the courtiers. When she said this, she gave a cautious look at Quanji, but unfortunately the man Quanji had always been moody, and he could not see anything.

"Are you so sure you're going to be born a boy?" Quan Ji shook his head as he spoke, "I asked the Imperial Doctor, and the Imperial Physician said that seven or eight out of ten are girls, what are you going to do when the time comes?" ”

Empress Dowager Li's face became more and more bad, "What do you say to do?" ”

What the scheming was waiting for was her words: "According to the king, since Lu'er has no hope, it is better to consider another." They are twins, they look exactly the same, and we can completely replace people silently, and no one can see it. ”

"Did you just give up?" Empress Dowager Li looked at the power scheme, panicked and unwilling, "We have cultivated him for so many years, and we just gave up, are you willing?" ”

"What if you are unwilling?" Quan Ji frowned tightly, and his voice was dissatisfied, "I didn't let you give birth at the beginning, you must give birth, and you will give birth to two in your life." You sent one of them out of the palace to me, and the other for yourself, but look at what has become of the child you raised? I have reminded you more than once that you should take care of Gu Lu'er and not let him fool around. But do you listen to me? After all these years, have you controlled him? ”

"I'm in the palace, he's outside the palace, how can I really manage it?"

"As long as you really want to manage it, there is nothing you can't control. Even if he lives outside the palace, you can send a secret guard to keep an eye on him, and then send an old eunuch to follow. In short, as long as you find a way, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done. Like I said, as long as we do it, we can do it. ”

"What if I don't?" Empress Dowager Li lowered her face coldly, "He grew up beside me, I can't just give him up." Weight, if I don't do what you say, what can you do to me? ”

The regent took a deep breath, "Xiaohan, the other one is also your own child, and it also crawled out of your belly. There's no intimacy between them, so why can't you turn this corner? He stood up, "If you really don't want to plan for the other, then forget it, I have a son myself!" ”

"You dare!" Empress Dowager Li also stood up, her hands clenched into fists, and she clenched it tightly. "How dare you!"

"There's nothing I don't dare." The jade-faced scholar laughed yin, "I am a member of the Quan family, and the royal family is young and not long, and the throne should have been mine back then." It was my mother's concubine who was not angry and annoyed my father, which made me lose the throne. I can't let my son go down the same path as me, so I have to plan for my offspring. Li Xiaohan, if you follow my wishes, you will still be the queen mother. If you go against my will, then the power family will have nothing to do with you in the future. ”

Empress Dowager Li sat down in a chair, feeling cold in her heart.

"Are you unwilling? Then you were with me at the beginning, was it because you were unwilling? He robbed you of the throne and robbed me, so you have been plotting to snatch it back sooner or later? Now that you have won half of the victory, he will not know until he dies that Lu'er is not his own, and he will not know how much shame his step-queen has given him until he dies. Do you feel relieved? I ask you, what did you come to me for? Is it that you said that you can't forget the past, or is it just to humiliate the first emperor? Or ...... Or do you just want me to give birth to a child for you who will inherit the throne in the future? Weights, how big of a game did you play? ”

The regent was silent for a long time, and his momentum finally softened, "Xiaohan, you misunderstood me, I was just for you back then." As for the child, you should remember that I originally disagreed with your birth. ”

When Empress Dowager Li thought back to the events of that year, she also remembered that Quan had strongly opposed her giving birth to a child, believing that it would bring danger to her. Thinking about it like this, I felt a little comforted in my heart, and the previous stalemate was also relieved: "I will seriously consider the matter you said, and I will definitely give you an answer when it comes to the New Year at the latest." As for what I say, I hope you will take it to heart, because what I say is true. If you don't believe it now, sooner or later you will regret it. ”

The scheming began to be irritable again, and subconsciously waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, this king knows." You rest first, I'm gone. ”

He strode out of the room, without a hint of nostalgia.

Empress Dowager Li sat in a chair and watched him leave, listening to the door slammed shut, only to feel that the things she had been looking forward to all these years had been disappointed. Now that even this person is going to fail, so what else can she Li Xiaohan have left?

The regent left, and a little eunuch from Yong'an Palace followed out with a bucket of water, which was the same one who stopped Lian Shi and Shen'er at the gate of Yong'an Palace that day.

The two soon met, and the right asked him: "On the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Queen Mother was really called to Yanhua Palace?" ”

The little eunuch nodded, "It's true, the emperor personally called it, and the queen mother was going to bed at that time." ”

"When did you get back?"

"I didn't come back until dawn, and I was carried back by Miss Bao Toad."

"Do you know that you really went to Yanhua Palace?"

The little eunuch thought about it and shook his head again, "I don't know." Because no one dared to follow, let alone go to Yanhua Palace to inquire. However, after the Queen Mother came back, she issued a gag order, and anyone who chewed more about that night would have his tongue cut out. ”

The scheming paused, and only after a while did he say: "This king knows, you can go back!" ”

When the little eunuch left, he stood in place and looked in the direction of Yanhua Palace.

Because Yanhua Mountain is very high, it can be seen from any corner of the palace. It's one thing to be able to get it, and it's another thing to see it clearly. As the little eunuch said, no one dares to come near that place when he has nothing to do, and no one can inquire about anything from that place.

Unless Yanhua Palace takes the initiative to say it, it is an impregnable wall, and it is an immortal mountain that cannot be destroyed by a million troops.

If what Li Xiaohan said is true, then what should be done?

The scheming fell into deep contemplation.

Ninety-five miles outside Lin'an City, the ancestral tomb of the Li family collapsed, and the Shouling people rushed to Lin'an City overnight to inform the Li family to go back quickly.

The Li family went back and forth, held a family meeting, and finally decided to let Li Zhiyuan enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

Li Zhiyuan is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Li, born from the same father and mother. Before she entered the palace, the relationship between the brother and sister was very good, but later she entered the palace, in addition to the help of the scheming, step by step to today, there is no lack of Li Zhiyuan's support behind her.

Yong'an Palace sent the regent away, and turned around to welcome the queen mother's own brother.

It is said that the entry of relatives into the palace is to be spread through the layers and greet the internal affairs office in advance. But now there is no queen in the harem, and the queen mother of the West Palace is dominant, so the Li family does not pay so much attention to entering the palace, and there are fewer cumbersome procedures.

The ancestral tomb collapsed, which is a big deal for any family, and Li Zhiyuan originally wanted to discuss with his sister about the rebuilding of the ancestral tomb. As a result, this incident made Empress Dowager Li think of the unexplained collapse of the Renwang Mansion in recent days, and also thought of the fact that she ordered the female guards to besiege and kill Ye Wenyan that day, and the whole army was wiped out......
