Chapter 214: Regret
When Li Hong came, he brought a lot of salutes for the first time, all of which were precious medicinal materials accumulated in his prince's mansion. Who in the Manchu Dynasty did not know that this prince was benevolent and upright, and never disdained people who received gifts and gave gifts.
But Li Hong has brought so many gifts to see Li Xiruo now, this is ...... Unscientific ......
Li Xiruo has the strong backing of Empress Wu, there is no shortage of medicinal materials at all, let alone Li Hong's medicinal materials, of course, the most important thing is that Li Xiruo does not understand what Li Hong wants to do when he sends these medicinal materials.
"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means?" Li Xiruo asked with a sinking face.
Li Hong has never been a person who can read faces, and of course, with his status and status, he doesn't need to look at people's faces. He has been a powerful queen since he can remember, and no one can threaten his position.
Li Hong was in a good mood and asked the eunuchs around him to put the medicinal materials away, and said to Li Xiruo: "I asked my father to know that you turned out to be Taishi Ling, I heard that you never point people easily, I am grateful for your guidance just now, I heard that you like to collect medicinal materials for alchemy, so I will send some over as a thank you gift." β
Li Xiruo raised her eyebrows, she didn't say anything, she said something about Li Hong, firstly, to see that Li Hong had a good heart, and she also used her kindness on herself, and wanted to help herself, and her words could be regarded as repaying the cause and effect.
Moreover, for the sake of Queen Wu's face, people are not grass and trees, she has been with Queen Wu for so many years, and Queen Wu treats her sincerely, how can she not have any true feelings for Queen Wu.
Seeing that Empress Wu's son was being calculated and wanted to deal with her own mother, it would be too inhumane if she didn't say a few words, and Queen Wu had treated her as a close friend for so many years.
Li Xiruo just sat quietly and didn't speak, waiting for Li Hong's next words, she felt that Li Hong came here more than just thanks. Sure enough, Li Hong saw that Li Xiruo didn't answer and continued: "I think what Master Li said may be towards his mother, you are the Taishi Ling, and it is not right to lie." β
The corners of Li Xiruo's mouth twitched, he kindly reminded him, he actually felt that he was lying? What is the reputation of her Li Xiruo, what is the reputation of her master Li Chunfeng, and when has she lied in her life, you must know that she has been given a reputation for breaking her life over the years.
She can judge a person's life with just one word, and she has never made any mistakes, as for saying two good words for Queen Wu, does it ruin her reputation?
Li Xiruo sneered and said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Weichen is lying?" β
Li Hong saw that Li Xiruo's whole face was covered with frost, and he was a little aggrieved, but he still said: "My father is not the kind of person you say, even if the queen mother has no rights in his hands, his father will be good to the queen mother, good to me, and the most painful thing for my father is me." β
If Li Xi dares to say that he has lived for so many years, he has never seen a more stupid person than this prince, why does he think that Li Zhi will be good to his mother and to him? If it weren't for Empress Wu, he would not have been a prince for a long time since he was stupid.
If it is a few decades later, if Li Xi encounters this kind of thing, he will directly serve tea to the guests, and he will be lazy to talk more. But at this time, he was still young, and he was upset for his friend Empress Wu, so he sneered directly: "Your Royal Highness doesn't know what happened to your father and the emperor some time ago?" β
Li Hong's good-looking brows twisted slightly: "Lord Li is afraid that there is some misunderstanding, it is Shangguan Yi's own opinion, and his father and queen mother have already punished him." β
Li Xiruo was almost vomited out of a mouthful of old blood by Li Hong's words, who in the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that this so-called self-made assertion was to take the blame for Li Zhi, and the beheading was the Empress Wu to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey, and warned those royalists about what would happen if they did things for Li Zhi.
This prince is so naΓ―ve, he believes whatever Li Zhi says, this kind of person lives in a palace fight, it is really not easy to live to adulthood, I have to say that the queen mother is really amazing.
At this time, Li Xiruo was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Hong, she sincerely felt that this prince was hopeless, so she directly picked up the tea bowl and said to Li Hong: "His Royal Highness the prince will go slowly, and Weichen will not send it." β
Li Hong was unhappy, he came sincerely to persuade Li Xiruo not to lie, and sent her so many medicinal materials, why did Li Xiruo not know what to do?
Just raised his eyes and saw Li Xiruo's beautiful fairy-like face, he swallowed back the words of reprimand, he inherited Li Zhi's genes, more or less like color, he has a noble nature, he likes this kind of beautiful beauty.
So he suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger, and said: "Master Li, it's not right to help the abuse, you shouldn't be like this, I really have good words to persuade you, I hope you can turn back." I believe that my father, even if he takes back the rights of the queen mother, he will definitely not do anything to the queen mother, and I will not worry about my life. β
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and there were a few wisps of anger in his words: "Although I am dissatisfied with what the queen mother has done, I will not do anything to her if she has no rights, even if she killed my own mother." β
Li Xiruo was thinking about what method to use to blast people out directly, but when he heard the last sentence, he was suddenly stunned, and said in disbelief: "What did you just say?" What killed your own mother? β
Li Hong's eyes were slightly red, and he said with anger: "Are you deceiving me when I am young and thinking that I don't know anything? I remember that my biological mother was the sister of the queen mother, and when I was a child, my mother often hugged me and asked me to call my mother, but the queen mother never came to see me. Later, my mother died, and my father said that it was the queen mother who poisoned my mother. β
Li Xiruo gasped when she heard this, she couldn't believe her ears, she saw some of what Wu Shunniang did back then, and she had heard Queen Wu tell her about it, but she didn't expect that woman to be so ruthless, and the dark lines laid down could still play a role now.
No wonder mother and son will kill each other in the future, no wonder Li Hong has always been dissatisfied with Empress Wu, he never regarded Empress Wu as his own mother from beginning to end, and even felt that Empress Wu was his mother-killing enemy?
Then Li Hong didn't make a move against Empress Wu now, and it was really thanks to Li Hong's kindness, and if he changed his heart, he might have found a way to kill Empress Wu to avenge his so-called mother.
Li Xiruo immediately straightened his expression and said to Li Hong: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what Wu Shunniang told you back then, I only know that I saw you with my own eyes when you were born, and I followed my master into the palace to pray for you at that time."
At that time, Wu Shunniang was still widowed in Helan's house, and it was impossible to give birth to you, you can also go out of this door to inquire and see if Wu Shunniang was in the capital when you were born.
As for Wu Shunniang's death, I can also tell you very clearly that she is to blame. She seduced Your Majesty, and also intended to separate your mother and daughter, use you to let your mother and son kill each other, pull Queen Wu off the throne, and be the queen herself, this alone is unacceptable to any mother. β
"You...... You talk nonsense......" Li Hong didn't seem to believe that what he had believed in for so many years was false, and his face turned red for a long time, and he only held back a sentence of your nonsense.
Li Xiruo still wanted to say something more to make him sober up, but at this time, her heart trembled, her face changed suddenly, she knew that their cultivators had this sense, it must be a warning from the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao would not let her say any further.
Li Xiruo lowered his eyes and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly realized that Li Hong is not dead, Empress Wu may not be able to ascend the throne as the emperor, Empress Wu is destined to become the empress, and Li Hong, the crown prince, cannot stay.
That's why Tiandao will warn herself, don't let herself interfere with the destiny of heaven, she is a little sad, being an empress, paying too much, the price is too great. What is the point of such a lonely person?
Seeing Li Xiruo sitting back in his seat, holding the tea bowl alone in a daze, no matter what he said, he refused to take care of himself anymore, Li Hong was also a little flustered. Could it be that he is really the son of Queen Wu, and his mother, who gently took care of him every day when he was a child, is lying to himself.
That gentle mother has always been indelible softness in his heart, he always remembered that it was his own mother, but now Li Xiruo told himself that it was not his mother, it was a vicious woman who wanted to calculate him and use him, how did he accept it.
Li Hong was no longer in the mood to communicate with Li Xiruo, and ran out of Taishi Ling's mansion in a gaffe, and sure enough, as Li Xiruo said, he went to inquire where Wu Shunniang was when he was born.
With such a big movement on Li Hong's side, Empress Wu naturally received the news, she didn't understand how her son could run out of Taishi Ling's mansion in despair, so she went to Li Xiruo to ask.
Li Xiruo sighed and said that Li Hong had always mistakenly thought that Wu Shunniang was his mother, and Queen Wu was his mother-killing enemy.
Empress Wu was shocked and stunned when she heard this, and then she was angry, and her monstrous anger soared, she didn't expect that the disaster buried by her good sister could continue until now, how many means did she use to bewitch her son at that time, no wonder this son was never close to herself.
People's feelings cannot be cultivated in a day or two, even if Li Hong knows the truth at this time, but after being a mother-killing enemy for so many years, it is not something that can be relieved for a while and a half.
Sure enough, Li Hong inquired for a long time and knew that he had indeed been deceived, and he was deeply affected and fell seriously ill. But after he recovered from his illness, he didn't get much close to Queen Wu, and he was still not much different from before.
On the contrary, Empress Wu was completely disappointed in this son after learning about Li Hong's performance. Such a distinction between right and wrong, completely unfilial piety, if his son becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely not have a good life as the queen mother.
Li Xiruo simply did not meet when he received Li Hong's greeting post again, and directly asked the boy to return the post, the dying person, but she couldn't save it, it was better not to see it, so as not to see the regretful injury.
