The dispute between Wu Jieyu and Wang Meiren was rudely resolved by Empress Dowager Guo by playing fifty boards each. Although both parties are very dissatisfied with this result, few people can question the status of Empress Dowager Guo.

There are very few people who can question it, but there is still one of them.

For example, the emperor.

Li Hengcai went down to the court, remembering that he had turned over Wu Jieyu's brand yesterday, but somehow went to the Zilan Hall in a daze, so he went to the Chengxiang Hall in a hurry, planning to compensate Wu Jieyu today. I didn't know that when I arrived at the Chengxiang Palace, I didn't see Wu Jieyu flying out like a butterfly like a flower and a butterfly to play coquettish with him.

called the palace maid of Chengxiang Hall to ask and found out that Wu Jieyu was punished by the Queen Mother to go to the Buddha Hall to kneel, and she had to copy a hundred copies of the Diamond Sutra, I don't know when I will copy it.

The palace maid was upset for the master, and deliberately said it extremely miserable, which made Li Heng feel distressed like something. Wu Jieyu was already wronged last night, how could she make trouble in front of the Queen Mother, but she had to be punished, what is the reason? It can't be just because the last time she said that the princess was not, the queen mother has prejudices against her like this!

Thinking so in his heart, he felt more and more that Wu Jieyu was wronged, and she didn't even change her court clothes, and went directly to the Buddhist hall.

Wu Jieyu in the Buddha Hall did look twelve points of grievance, while crying and rippling, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and she knelt on the cold ground and copied the scriptures. After only two or three pages, tears fell all over the paper, and the ink was fainted.

The palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside the Buddhist hall were ordered not to allow Wu Jieyu to go out, but the Queen Mother did not say that Her Majesty was not allowed to come in to see Wu Jieyu! Li Heng broke into the Buddhist hall like this, and when Wu Jieyu saw that the savior was coming, she rushed over and hugged him and cried, no matter how she coaxed him, she couldn't coax him.

The concubine saw that the oleanders by the Taiye pool were blooming well, so she pinched two of them, how did she know that Sister Wang was allergic to oleanders...... The concubine really didn't mean it, Your Majesty, but the Queen Mother didn't believe in the concubine at all......"

Li Heng couldn't stand a woman's crying the most, and Wu Jieyu mastered and used this trick perfectly, without saying a word, he asked Li Heng to obey and decide to go to the queen mother's theory.

Li Heng turned around to leave, but Wu Jieyu hugged him, "Your Majesty, don't ask the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother doesn't like concubines in the first place, Your Majesty is going to make the Queen Mother even more unhappy." It's okay for a concubine to be wronged, it's really ......"

This statement aroused Li Heng's desire to protect even more, and the small and inconspicuous dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother on weekdays began to slowly accumulate and ferment at this time. Originally, as the emperor, he always had to find the Queen Mother for advice on major matters, and occasionally there would be a little difference of opinion, and gradually he began to feel a little unhappy. And now, the Queen Mother has even interfered so badly in his family affairs, he is still not happy.

He gently patted Wu Jieyu's back, "You are my beloved concubine, I can't let you be wronged." Don't worry, the Queen Mother's side, I will deal with it. I wronged you yesterday, don't worry, from today onwards, I will stay in the Chengxiang Hall every night and will not go anywhere. ”

Wu Jieyu raised her hazy teary eyes, like a frightened rabbit, and shook her head again and again, "No, no, Your Majesty, this can't be helped!" The Queen Mother punished the concubine for copying the scriptures, and the Queen Mother didn't like the concubine, so she didn't know how to look at the concubine when she turned around......"

These few words made Li Heng's sense of heroism burst into action, and he was determined to go to ask for an explanation for Wu Jieyu.

"I said, the Queen Mother's side, I will deal with it. You are obedient, go back to the Chengxiang Hall first and wait for me. ”

He held Wu Jieyu's weak and boneless little hand, came out of the Buddhist hall, and the eunuch guarding outside hurriedly went up: "Your Majesty, Jieyu can't go out now, the Queen Mother has ordered it......"

Li Heng's thick eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes widened, "Is this Daming Palace the Queen Mother or I have the final say?" I said she could get out, she could get out! If you stop it again, I will pull you out and cut you down!" ”

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was really angry, the little eunuch didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he had to get out of the way.

It's too late to go to Penglai Hall to return, and here Li Heng has already strode to Penglai Palace.

It was not early, and Empress Dowager Guo was asking Fennel to take out her jewelry box, pick out some young styles in it to prepare to put them in the dowry, and Li Heng had already walked straight into the Penglai Palace.

Empress Dowager Guo raised her head, and saw that his face was pale, and said in surprise: "Heng'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Mother, the country has national laws, and the palace has palace rules, that is, if someone in the palace makes a mistake, the mother should also ask to understand the ugly person and act according to the regulations. How can you punish the palace concubines at will according to your own preferences? ”

"It turned out that I was looking for my mother to ask for guilt." Empress Dowager Guo put down the jewelry box in her hand a little unnaturally, and asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty has been to see that Wang Meiren before coming to the mourning family?" ”

He was so cried by that Wu Jieyu that his heart was messed up, his heart was on Wu Jieyu, where did he remember Wang Meiren, and said: "Mother, don't divert the topic, I just want to ask my mother, Wu Jieyu is just an unintentional mistake, which palace rule is my mother handling Wu Jieyu according to today?" ”

When he said his unintentional mistake, Empress Dowager Guo knew that Wu Jieyu had already done her homework on him. She sighed with some disappointment, this son of hers has a good heart, but his ability to distinguish between right and wrong is too weak. If this Daming Palace is really handed over to him, it is difficult to say that he can be a good Ming Jun!

Fennel listened and persuaded: "Your Majesty should not be angry with the Queen Mother, if Your Majesty first goes to see what the swelling on Wang Meiren's face looks like, you will know that the punishment of the Queen Mother is not too ......much."

Li Heng pointed in the direction of Taiji Palace and said angrily: "Hmph, mother, don't forget, what was Luoluo like when she was harmed by Wang's sister in the first place!" Mother doesn't like Wu Jieyu, so why should she favor the Wang family? Could it be that the Wang family can't be offended like this, and even my mother and I can't do anything about them! ”

Obviously it was just a trivial matter in the palace, and he wanted to think that she was for the court. He was already deeply bewitched by the Wu clan, and he was completely unwilling to explore the real situation at that time.

Empress Dowager Guo was helpless and sighed: "Heng'er, calm down and think about it, when is your mother not for you?" ”

Li Heng couldn't calm down at all, "For my good, for my good!" What about my preference for the Wu family, didn't the first emperor also favor his mother in the first place? In the past, my mother was in the palace, excluding dissidents, so that the six concubines who entered the palace died, fell ill, and none of the heirs remained, is it possible that now in my palace, my mother plans to do the same! ”

"Heng'er, you ......" Empress Dowager Guo didn't expect Li Heng to say this at all, and she was stunned for a while.

If she hadn't protected herself and Heng'er like that, and was so careful to guard against others, maybe today, I don't know who is sitting on the emperor's throne, maybe their mother and son don't even have a place to stay!

But her Heng'er, how could her Heng'er say that?

Anyone is qualified to question her not, but Heng'er can't!

She raised her head with desolate eyes, but Li Heng didn't appreciate it, he was like any son who had a communication barrier with his parents, he was angry and walked away.

"Heng'er, Heng'......"

He didn't look back, so her voice was cut off in the main hall of the Penglai Temple.

She looked at Fennel and held Fennel's hand sadly, "Fennel, he has grown up, and he is so old that he longs to fly by himself, but how worried the mourners are about him, worried that he will be deceived and bewitched, that he will fall from that supreme position, and fall to pieces!" ”

Fennel pulled the handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, only to realize that she had wept.

In this life, she has lost one important person after another, and the more she loses, the more scared she becomes. To this day, what she fears most is the loss of her only son.

Everyone in the Penglai Hall saw His Majesty brushing his sleeves away from the Queen Mother's house, and knew that the Queen Mother would be unhappy today, so they didn't dare to make a noise, and they were silent one by one, making the entire Penglai Hall shrouded in a poignant silence.

The thin moonlight shone in faintly, and it was so quiet that it was heartbreaking.

Somehow, she suddenly remembered the first encounter many years ago, and it was also such a moonlit night when he appeared in front of her.

How many years? Today, they have such an eldest son, and their sons have become emperors, but she has lost him. Maybe he should be the only person in the world who can deeply understand her mood at the moment, but he can't be by her side.

She buried her face in the palm of her hand, and two lines of tears couldn't help but fall.

Fennel gently hugged her shoulder, she was a witness to these decades of life, she knew that the noble queen mother in front of her had too much suffering in her heart, but she had no way to comfort her, in fact, she herself was sad.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Guo slowly raised her head and whispered to Fennel: "Go and bring some wine buried in the old days, the mourning family wants to drink a little." ”

When the people closest to her left one by one, her heart became more and more lonely. Fennel was silent for a moment, did not persuade her, and obediently went to get the wine.

The old wine buried behind the Penglai Palace, once took two jars out, she drank opposite Li Chun, and he personally cooked the perilla fish for her, which had a unique taste.

It's just that I didn't expect that this time to be the last time I drank with him in this life, and the last time I ate the dishes he cooked for her. On that day, he said that the only person he loved most in his life was her, and he promised to make her the queen after he returned.

When Fennel brought the wine jar over, Nianyun hugged the wine jar and smelled the aroma of wine overflowing from the jar, so he couldn't help biting his lip and crying. Xue Qixi also drank wine with her, and from that day on, he became her enemy and a traitor to the Tang Dynasty.

The wine is still there, it is still mellow, but it is no longer human.
