Chapter 129: Competing for favor
Shangguan Daoyuan felt sorry for his niece, fortunately the emperor protected her, otherwise, with her weak strength, I am afraid that something has already happened, and I am afraid to think about it. He made up his mind, no matter what, he would definitely find a way to help the emperor.
Concubine Shangguan now holds the power of the imperial court, and the Imperial Forest Army is also at her disposal. Shangguan Bachelor discussed with Leng Lingzhe, if he came tomorrow, it would definitely be a bloody storm, and Leng Lingzhe would not have a chance to win with the power of the above official family. Therefore, it cannot be done openly, but secretly. In the end, the two agreed that the Shangguan University scholar would secretly assist Leng Lingzhe in building a secret passage in the palace in case of emergency.
With the assistance of Shangguan Daoyuan University, Leng Lingzhe was full of confidence, believing that with the help of Zhongqin, he would definitely be able to dismantle Concubine Shangguan's conspiracy and disintegrate and eliminate her.
Leng Lingzhe was carefully cared for by Zhao Qiujin's family due to his injury, and he and Zhao Qiujin also opened their hearts, and the relationship between the two deepened day by day, and they were full of affection and sweetness every day, which made Zhao Qiujin's parents unhappy.
After recuperating from his injuries and making a plan, Leng Lingzhe returned to the palace. The first thing he did was to recruit He Xianyang, and ordered someone to kidnap him in the Taihe Hall and put him in prison for torture.
This person, who originally volunteered to be an undercover agent for Concubine Shangguan, actually came to assassinate his benefactor, and he got angry when he thought about it, so he tortured him first.
He Xianyang had already been mentally prepared to dare to stab the emperor, it was innocent, he understood everything the emperor did, and he was originally treacherous.
Leng Lingzhe asked him: "Concubine Shangguan asked you to assassinate Xian Zhaoyi, she must be pulling your braids, what is the difficulty, I forgive you for being loyal to the country, you just need to say, I will forgive you." ”
He Xianyang was silent for a moment and said: "Concubine Shangguan found someone to secretly drug Uncle Chen, causing my uncle to lie on the bed again, and she also sent someone to follow me, and she was not allowed to ask for others. Then she took the life-saving antidote and ordered the minister to assassinate Xian Zhaoyi, the minister was also suffering from no tricks, please forgive the emperor! ”
Leng Lingzhe knew the cause and effect, so he let He Xianyang go, and sent someone to escort Zhao Qiujin to He Mansion to see Uncle He Xianyang. He Xianyang was originally very grateful to Zhao Qiujin for saving his life last time, but now he is very guilty for his uncle to do something sorry for Zhao Qiujin.
But Zhao Qiujin didn't say anything, she carefully checked his uncle, and her attitude was still so amiable. He Xianyang has mixed feelings in his heart, he really admires this peculiar woman, not only open-minded, kind-hearted, but also beautiful and dignified, unlike her cousin Shangguan Qingyi, who is narrow-minded, self-indulgent, and vicious like the concubine. These two sisters are really worlds apart. One is adorable, the other is disgusting.
The prescription prescribed by Zhao Qiujin to Uncle He Xianyang was effective after taking it. He Xianyang's heart was surging, and his gratitude was indescribable. This time, he truly surrendered to Zhao Qiujin and Leng Lingzhe from the bottom of his heart. and assured Leng Lingzhe that from now on, he would only obey his dispatch and would no longer be an accomplice to Concubine Shangguan.
These days the weather is gloomy and not particularly cool. Zhao Qiujin came to treat the old man again.
After a careful examination, she said to He Xianyang, who was waiting on the side: "General He, your uncle has been poisoned for too long and too severely, so he can only be adjusted slowly, and it is useless to be anxious." ”
He Xianyang nodded.
He was a sane man, and he knew his uncle's situation. It didn't take long for the last time, and the body was still recuperating, which made the concubine give the medicine again, where can the medicine be cured all at once, so the uncle's body is estimated to be unable to bear it. Zhao Qiujin's superb medical skills, he has also seen it, and he trusts her.
He Xianyang personally escorted Zhao Qiujin back to the palace, and on the way he said to Zhao Qiujin: "Xian Zhaoyi, you will be picked up by the minister in the future, and the minister has already reported to the emperor." ”
Zhao Qiujin felt that he was making a little fuss, a general of the Imperial Forest, he actually gave her a guard, and it would make people laugh when he said it. But He Xianyang didn't care, she just left it to him.
Zhao Qiujin is also very attentive in order to completely cure the old man's disease. She went to Hefu every once in a while to check on the elderly, and also used acupuncture to alleviate the pain of the elderly. Sometimes when the elderly are in good spirits, they will talk to the elderly, and often bring delicious and digestible snacks to the elderly.
Zhao Qiujin did all this only out of her instinct, the heart of the doctor's uncle and parents.
But in He Xianyang's view, Zhao Qiujin not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a bodhisattva-like warm-heartedness, but also is a graceful and knowledgeable person. By the emperor's side, he does not compete for favor, does not win love, and can also help deal with political affairs.
He knew that Zhao Qiujin was the emperor's favorite concubine, and the emperor also doted on her, and it was impossible to have anything with him, but this heart, the more you said that it was controlled, the more chaotic it became.
He looked forward to Zhao Qiujin coming to treat his uncle, and followed Zhao Qiujin like a fool, escorting her to Hefu and escorting her back to the palace.
Along the way, as long as Zhao Qiujin sees someone sick or injured, she will kindly treat someone and heal them.
He Xianyang feels that he is not lightly ill these days, and it seems that he has to let Zhao Qiujin see his illness.
Where did Zhao Qiujin know what He Xianyang was thinking, he only felt that this man with a wooden and masculine appearance actually had a gentle and considerate heart. He didn't need to do it himself, but he picked it up and sent it by himself every time. Sometimes when she is seen on the road to heal stray cats and dogs, this big man will actually help deal with it.
As the days passed, Zhao Qiujin found that this man's heart was really soft, he was not only a filial son, but also responsive to her, as long as you opened your mouth, he would definitely think about it. And it's really loyal, and it's true.
During this period, from He Xianyang's mouth, Leng Lingzhe and Zhao Qiujin not only knew many things about Concubine Shangguan, but also discovered a big secret of Concubine Shangguan. It turned out that the military power in the hands of Concubine Shangguan was only half! Moreover, as long as you find the dragon vein, you will find the other half of the military power! At that time, Leng Lingzhe would be able to have enough connections and troops to compete with Concubine Shangguan.
This news made Leng Lingzhe overjoyed.
The secret passage and the secret room, under the intensive supervision of the Shangguan University scholars, were quickly completed.
During this period, Concubine Shangguan became suspicious because He Xianyang didn't seem to buy her account much.
On this day, Concubine Shangguan drank lotus seed soup, and said to Shangguan Qingyi quietly: "Concubine Li, you don't ask the emperor, this palace is so good, why do you go out for a private visit, and I don't say I will take you." ”
Shangguan Qingyi replied, "Concubine, now that the concubine is guilty, it's good that the emperor doesn't dislike it, where will he take the concubine out." ”
