Chapter Seventy-One: There is no Mrs. Li in the world
The gentleman and the gentleman are friends with the same way, and the villain and the villain are friends with the same benefit. However, it is always difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
============================
I remember when I was a child, I was hungry and had few snacks, Jane's mother occasionally bought some potatoes and sweet potatoes to go home, picked up the smallest ones, and simmered them next to the fire.
She always looked forward to a time like this, and the excitement almost burst in her chest.
Only once, when my mother was sick, she was so hungry that she roasted sweet potatoes by herself, but accidentally knocked over the stove and the hot charcoal fell out, and she was worried that the sweet potatoes would be crushed, so she reached out and grabbed the sweet potatoes. A small piece of charcoal fell on her finger, squeaking like a soldering iron in water, and she wept in terror.
Such a dream has not been done for many years, and now it suddenly goes straight to the bottom of my heart.
It was too cold at night, and my hands were burning and hurting. She couldn't find a place to put it, so she carefully took her hand into her arms.
Really, it's hot, it's painful.
Her eyes widened in the dark night, Wan Yanyong had already left, only vague hallucinations, and still felt that he was still in the tent.
She took a low breath.
It took so much effort and so much thought to persuade him not to go on the expedition. It's a pity that I underestimated my ability and overestimated my weight. When you think about it this way, it seems that this torture is also extremely uncomfortable.
After tomorrow, as he said, maybe Master Tonghui will really send someone to ask for him, but is it really attached to him, with another woman, oh no, it is many, many other women to share and compete for a man. Now he likes her, but likes this thing, how unreliable. His affection for her was nothing more than that, and it didn't provide enough energy to give her a stable and peaceful second half of her life. And, everything he will go through, everything he will have...... She secretly swore in her heart that this person did not belong to a certain person, so she must not stay here.
Certain.
In the second half of the night, Jian Wei was sleeping lightly, when the curtain was suddenly opened, and the three palace maids led by Mama Ke rushed in.
Mama Ke entered the tent and stood there glancing at the two of them, they stepped forward one after the other, grabbed the corners of the quilt, Jian Wei noticed that there was someone beside her, and suddenly woke up, and before she could react, the two palace ladies pulled up, one woman choked her neck, and the other pressed her mouth and nose.
Janeway struggled, her feeble hands flapping the futon, like a drowning person, gradually overwhelmed by darkness and suffocation, the two palace ladies were unmoved, they were used to ending other people's lives, as if they were used to obeying and ordering.
Slowly, the movement inside the quilt became smaller, and Mama Ke showed a satisfied smile on her face.
The next second, her smile froze on her face, and a man in black flipped into the tent, swept her, and threw her to the ground, with a steel knife on her neck.
"Tell them to stop." He commanded in a low voice.
Lifting the quilt, the woman inside was scarred and had already passed out, he put on his wrist, his pulse was still beating faintly, and the eyes of the man in black immediately relaxed. He looked back at the three people who had already passed out, picked up Janeway, and covered it with a cloak, except for a little scattered long hair, everything blended into the night.
Only the spring breeze and the silent starry sky saw it all. The wind whistled by, and the stars remained unchanged.
In the depths of the night, a man dressed in white and standing tall.
Daxingguo brocade clothes walked at night, the hood covered most of his face, and he stood silently beside the man: "Lang Jun, everything goes well." ”
"What is the name of the palace maid who tortured her?"
"Lang Jun, after all, she is the queen's person, and besides, it is the queen's order."
"Since you are doing a show, you naturally have to do a full set." He said coldly, unable to hear any other emotions, "Otherwise, how can this play continue." ”
The next day, someone found Mama Ke's body outside the hunting ground, her hands were broken, and she couldn't see it.
What made Pei Manhou even more angry than her death was that she found a jade pendant next to the corpse.
The queen was furious, she listened to the reply of the chief attendant, threw up her sleeves and went straight to the emperor's dragon tent.
The Emperor was in the dragon tent, frowning and listening to the imperial doctor's speech.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has tried his best, but Pei Manniang ...... her" The imperial doctor was sincerely afraid.
"Is there really no way to cure it?" The emperor still did not give up.
The imperial doctor said solemnly: "Not only is it not curable, but it may also be infected...... Wechen has been practicing medicine for decades and has never seen such a strange disease......"
When he said this, he peeked at the emperor's expression, and saw that he was not unusual, so he boldly said: "For the sake of Your Majesty's body, and for the well-being of all the ladies in the harem." Weichen dared to suggest that Niangniang be removed from Xuanhua Palace. ”
After the allotment was full, he opened the tent and broke in, and heard this sentence.
She snorted coldly: "Since you know that it will be contagious, why do you put her in the harem." Your Majesty, the concubines thought that they should do it immediately. ”
Xizong's face turned pale: "Why didn't the queen report when she came over?" ”
"Your Majesty." She bowed shallowly, "The concubine came here because the situation was urgent." ”
"What?"
Wan Yan Liang disregarded the law and discipline, kidnapped the criminal girl Jian Wei, and killed the personal female official of the concubine. The concubine asked the emperor to call the shots and arrest him for questioning. ”
"Does the queen have any proof?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine has the jade pendant found at the place where Mama Ke had an accident, which is all owned by Wan Yan Liang." The queen is full of confidence.
"A jade pendant can't say anything." The emperor instinctively favored Yan Liang, "Besides, the expedition is imminent, and the dignified hussar general is detained for trumped-up charges." Ridiculous. ”
"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. One is a grandmother who has accompanied her concubines since childhood, and the other is an unidentified Han girl of different races. And now, openly save the sinner girl and kill the people of my palace. After Yan Liang's actions, He Zeng put the national society in his eyes, such a person, even if he goes to the battlefield, he will not be able to become a climate. If he has a different heart, wouldn't it be even more unfavorable to our Jurchen......" She talked eloquently, completely ignoring Xizong's frowning more and more.
"Your Majesty," Queen Yingying bowed, "although Mama is a concubine, a concubine is not a person who disregards her identity for personal revenge. This matter is not simple, for the sake of prudence, please ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this matter, firstly, to understand the innocence of Yan Liang and Jian Wei, and secondly, for the sake of social stability......"
"That's enough." The emperor flicked his sleeves, "Since the queen has made up her mind, let's do so." ”
After he said that, he turned his head to the imperial doctor who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Lead the way, I want to go and see Concubine Pei Man." ”
The queen knelt there until the curtain was lifted.
Because of the emperor's concern for Concubine Pei Man, the spring hunt ended early.
At the same time, the empress got the emperor's promise and secretly detained Wan Yanliang.
Perhaps because of his dissatisfaction with the queen, the emperor showed great intimacy to Concubine Pei Man, and as soon as he entered the imperial city, he rode quickly and went straight to the Xuanhua Palace. Gong E, the inner servant who greeted her in front of the palace, was in a hurry, hulala and knelt on the ground.
When he entered the main hall, he saw that everyone in the hall covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels.
He frowned: "What is this for?" ”
The leading female officer hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Qiyulang, the imperial doctor said that Niangniang's illness may be contagious, and the slaves and maids are ......."
"Knowing that she is a mother, she dares to be so presumptuous." The emperor was angry, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, and his concubine was bullied like this. He lifted his foot and went inside.
The female officer was frightened and knelt down in front of him: "Please stop, Your Majesty." If the Eucharist is damaged, the slaves and maidservants will not be able to apologize for their sins. ”
He paused slightly: "What is the situation of Niangniang now?" ”
"...... Niangniang's skin has begun to fester, and her body is ...... There is also a strange smell on the body. The female officer swallowed and vomited, not knowing what the consequences would be if she told the truth, "Since the last time I came back from the hot spring, I began to feel unwell, first I had itching all over my body, and I couldn't stop it, and then the mother asked us to help her scratch it gently, but even if it was light, after a few days, the skin was scratched, so that after that, the skin began to turn red and purple from the wound......
Her head slammed on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare to tell a lie." ”
The emperor stood for a while, thinking of Pei Man's many benefits and beauty on weekdays, and couldn't help but put aside the female official and stepped forward.
Just after walking a few steps, Concubine Pei Man's voice suddenly came from the hall: "Please stop, Your Majesty." The concubine's face was ruined, and she couldn't face the saint. ”
"I just want to see you."
"Your Majesty, the concubines are riddled with evil diseases, and they are ashamed of themselves, and they are afraid that they will defile their holy faces. If His Majesty insists on forcing each other, the concubine can only die. "She is not a stupid woman, of course she knows the story of Mrs. Li in the Han Dynasty.
Mrs. Li was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but she was riddled with evil diseases, and Emperor Wu missed it very much, but Mrs. Li refused to see her until she died. She said, but anyone who does things with sex, love is weak, love is relaxed, and love is graceful. In order to stay the thoughts and grace of Emperor Wu, he can only be seen until death. And before he died, he burned the palace to the ground. Sure enough, since then, Emperor Wu has been very concerned.
Of course, Concubine Pei Manfei is not the only one who knows this story.
The quiet hall has a hazy medicinal smell mixed behind the smell of burnt spices, indescribably strange and long.
She and the emperor were separated by the door, affectionate, and her words were decisive.
Concubine Pei Manfei's hands were wrapped in gauze because of the need for action, and the skin on her face was almost ruined, but the imperial doctor asked for ventilation and did not wear a veil, which was indescribably terrifying against the backdrop of the bright headdress and long black hair. Only her voice is still the same as before, still indescribably tactful and gentle.
This kind of atmosphere is exactly what she needs. Birth and separation in the affection.
Just when she was immersed in the grief of her director, the door was suddenly slammed open. The female officer fell to the ground, got up and kowtowed in horror: "The slave and the maid are not intentional, the slave and the maid are not intentional." ”
The Emperor shuddered, his eyes filled with horror, and then turned to disgust.
He turned around and said, "You have a good rest, and I will come to see you another day." ”
The female officer was buried deep in the ground, and there was a smile on her face.
The hot spring water washes the condensate, washes away the lead, and washes away thousands of beauty.
The queen in the Yongshou Palace was slowly drinking Ejiao bird's nest soup, and when she heard such a reply, the corners of her mouth curved: "Rusi, give me another cup, I'm a little hungry." ”
She thought for a moment: "Send some to Di Gu Nai (Wan Yan Liang)." also wronged him. ”
It had been a long time since there had been such a night, she got up lazily and walked outside the hall, and immediately a clever palace lady brought the fox fur with her. She pushed it away.
The moon is already close to half-circle, almost fifteen. She looked up at the sky, fifteen was a good day.
The delicate swaying flutters in the night breeze.
Every fifteenth day is the day when the emperor stays in Yongshou Palace.
Perhaps, she thought, that woman really knows some tricks of Qihuang, and there is some truth in what she said.
