Chapter 111: On the eve of the finale

"This little injury doesn't matter, you don't have to blame yourself, wait for two days and I'll clean up the people who are making trouble outside and then take you out, by the way, I have people decorate the inner room of the Lilan Palace, and when you go out, your eyes will definitely shine."

No matter how much trouble Li Shenlan makes, Yin Chen still calls herself "me" in front of her, as if this is the only way to shorten the distance between the two. If it were in the past, Li Shenlan would always feel warm in his heart and say, but now that he thinks about it, he treats Queen Rensi the same. It seems that I have such a proud character since I was a child.,If everyone else has it, take yourself, no matter how much you like it.。

"The emperor laughed, and the people outside wanted to let the concubine die."

Yin Chen's smiling face stiffened a little in response, he didn't expect Li Shenlan to dismantle himself without any scruples, looking at her with a calm face, as if he had seen through life and death. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the red on his left wrist, and Yin Chen finally asked.

"Wounds on the hands...... How? ”

For a moment, he hoped that Li Shenlan could tell him with grievances that someone else had bullied her, just like before, blinking at him helplessly and aggrieved with starry eyes, and let him make the decision for her. But not this time, Li Shenlan raised her hand indifferently and looked at it, and told Yin Chen in a tone that she didn't care at all.

"I told you, you'll be fine, I'll take care of everything outside."

"Your Majesty, do you like me?"

The cold Li Shenlan asked such a sentence, and Yin Chen told her without a trace of hesitation that he liked it.

"What about love, does the emperor love me?"

Time seems to have gone back to ten years ago, when Queen Rensi, who had just lost her child, stood in front of Yin Chen so indifferently and asked him, do you love me? What happened to Yin Chen at that time? Yes, in the face of Queen Rensi, who almost desperately lost the instinct to live, Yin Chen's love can be said to be out of her mouth. And now, facing a similar face and the same problem, Yin Chen hesitated in place. How should he tell her that it is love? But he clearly loves Li Shenlan's face, doesn't he love it? But any change in her mood would tug at his heartstrings.

If you love or not, you can't make a sound when you get stuck in your throat after all.

Seeing that Yin Chen was almost struggling, Li Shenlan suddenly laughed. If it weren't for the tears in her eyes, she would have smiled beautifully.

"You see, you don't even know it yourself. The concubine tells you that if you don't love me, what you love is just the face of the concubine from beginning to end.

The news outside is not that the concubines don't know, if there is still a little room to turn around, then Chen Guang's death is like adding fuel to the fire, you are the king, I am the concubine, so the concubine is destined to be bitten to death. If you guess correctly, I'm afraid that the people outside the palace are now scolding the concubine as a demon concubine of the country. ”

"You've thought of it a long time ago?"

"Yes."

Li Shenlan's smile was enlarged a few points, like a female general who had returned from victory, everything was under her control.

"I think the emperor has already guessed that everything was deliberately arranged by me from the beginning. I ordered someone to buy off those eunuchs and palace maids who can go out of the palace every day to purchase, and when I assassinate you, they will immediately spread the news. ”

"You're crazy, what's in it for you to do this!"

Yin Chen roared, for the first time he found that the woman in front of him was not the Li Shenlan in his impression, and she had a little bit of her uncontrollable rebellion, or she was such a character.

"The concubine is not crazy, but the concubine has lived like a year at all!

The emperor knows best in his heart that Lu Xin framed me for having an affair with Hakoye, and what the emperor said was black and white that he believed in the concubines, but in fact? ”

Having said that, Yin Chen also knew what he had done at the beginning, because of the suspicion in his heart, he didn't even notice that her emotions were wrong, and he possessed her like crazy, and Yin Chen regretted it after he went back that night. But he is a king, and the king has the face of a king, how can he put down his body and apologize to his concubines. He understands this truth, and Li Shenlan naturally understands it, but some things are too clear to make the contradictions that can be easily resolved become disputed, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

"The emperor thinks that even if he doesn't know how many concubines he wants, he can guess a few points, I remember when I first saw the emperor, a white dance at the farewell banquet that year seemed to amaze the whole time.

Even at that time, I knew that I was just a stand-in for Li Mingjin, but I still fell in love uncontrollably when I saw the emperor at first sight, and I always thought that this kind of thing would only appear in the book, but I didn't expect it to really happen to me. ”

Li Shenlan looked up at the window, the sky was very blue and the sun was shining and warm, and she didn't know if there would be such a good day this winter.

"At that time, the emperor was so high-spirited, and the people of Daqi knew that the emperor would be able to stabilize the world and calm the Quartet when he ascended the throne when he was young.

At that time, I thought that maybe it would be a blessing to marry the emperor, after all, no matter how many good men in the world are afraid, they are not as good as the emperor.

The only pity is that he can't accompany the emperor in the most primitive capacity, and even the emperor's love is through another woman's face. ”

"As long as you want to, now I can tell the world your identity, and if you have nothing to do with Li Yunshan, you can naturally be Song Yuan."

"Really?"

The corners of Li Shenlan's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, but the smile that fell in Yin Chen's eyes was bitter and astringent, and it was difficult to rejoice.

"The emperor wants the concubine to turn back into Song Yuan, but what kind of mentality does Song Yuan have to serve his father-killing enemy?"

"You've already stabbed me, isn't that enough?"

As soon as Yin Chen's words came out, Li Shenlan couldn't stop laughing, just like a child hearing a joke, and the tears of laughter came out and refused to stop.

"Shen Lan ......" Yin Chen stepped forward and wanted to hug her, but Li Shenlan suddenly looked at him with an extremely hateful gaze.

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, the emperor killed the lives of two innocent people, but he thought that a knife wound could be paid off, doesn't the emperor think it's ridiculous!"

"As long as you want, I will compensate you with the rest of my life."

Li Shenlan's eyes were red and she couldn't stop shaking her head, in her opinion, these two lives Yin Chen would never be able to compensate. Li Shenlan wanted to kill him and resist his life, but when the knife slashed at Yin Chen, she instinctively retracted her strength. Such ambivalence tormented her for too long, and now that she knew the truth, she couldn't count how long it had been since she had slept soundly.

After a pause, she shook her head weakly again.

"The emperor can't compensate for the lives of two close relatives. If it is said that the person in this palace who needs the emperor's compensation the most is not me, it is Queen Rensi.

When the concubine first came to the palace, the queen was like a big sister, and she took care of me......"

The rare Li Shenlan showed a little smile on her face, and with the warm sun in autumn, everything seemed beautiful and precious, provided that she was not in a prison cell.

"The queen is very gentle, no matter who she is, even when she is angry, she seems gentle and quiet, but when she meets the emperor, every time she stands with the emperor, she is like a different person, and the smile on her face is very stiff, and there is a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Only when facing the people who really care most about the heart, the emotions in people's hearts will be instinctively and undisguisedly revealed. So I have you in my heart, and I have known it for a long time. ”

Li Shenlan squinted at the sunshine, and the whole person looked a little lazy, but there was sympathy and compassion in her eyes when she mentioned Empress Rensi. It looks like Queen Rensi after losing her child, like a dead leaf floating silently.

Yin Chen wanted to say something, but his mouth was long and he still didn't say it.

"At first, I didn't understand the sadness in my mother's eyes, everyone said that she was the mother of a country, she should be generous and humble, and she couldn't care about it because of a little thing. I originally thought the same way, so I couldn't fully understand the sadness of the child back then. Until I had a child myself and had a real new life......

The emperor said that he wanted to make up for the concubines, but the concubines were also wondering if you had said the same thing to Niangniang at the beginning.

Maybe you are also comforting your mother when she loses her child, telling her that you will compensate her for the rest of your life. But in fact, you are left and right, you are lucky to love this one today and love that one tomorrow, and if you come to a Li Mingjin, you will forget the entire harem for a woman.

You will say that you are also in trouble, you are the king of a country and the world is thrown to rely on, with such righteous and awe-inspiring words to plug the mouth of Concubine Xiang, so that the queen mother understands you and takes care of you.

But have you ever thought that this is unfair in itself? ”

Li Shenlan's voice was very light, but every word was fine, every sentence was a knot that Yin Chen couldn't untie in his heart, and every sentence was criticizing him, Yin Chen told him that his so-called sincerity was not as good as a donkey's liver and lungs.

The green tendons on Yin Chen's forehead jumped, he had never met a woman who dared to speak so loudly, even Concubine Xiang did not dare to be so presumptuous. But what Li Shenlan said was true, and he didn't even know where to start with a word of argument.

"Because of the emperor, everyone in the harem, from the queen mother to the slaves, is blaming the queen mother for being ignorant, but who can really understand the mother?

The emperor felt sorry for Niangniang, so after Sheng Ping was born, he couldn't wait to send it to Changle Palace to please Niangniang, but he demolished the east wall to make up the west wall. To put it bluntly, the emperor's affection is nothing but self-righteousness, and in the eyes of the mother, it will only make her feel disgusting! ”

"You are presumptuous!"

Yin Chen roared angrily, he only felt that Li Shenlan's words hit him in the face like a slap, and his cheeks were hot when he slapped every word.

"What's wrong with me, I am the emperor, naturally it is impossible to indulge in the love of children, as a queen, I have been acting by my own temperament for so many years, I can't wait to play with me every day, why don't I feel wronged!"

"Is the emperor really wronged? The emperor thinks that Niangniang is wrong, in fact, if Niangniang doesn't marry you, can't she be innocent and happy for a lifetime? Does the emperor think he really loves his mother? If you really love her mother, you should understand her and take care of her. Instead of pampering other women when Niangniang was most sad and desperate, she would not welcome her concubines into the palace.

Except that Wushan is not a cloud, the concubines don't dare to think about how much pain Niangniang would have in her heart when she looked at the concubine's face that was almost exactly the same as herself every day. ”

Yin Chen's back teeth gritted hard, no one dared to criticize him, even when the original Empress Rensi was at her most collapsed, she was crying alone. But Li Shenlan is different, she has the purest temperament in this countryside, even if she enters the palace and is restrained, she will still explode at the last moment.

"As a harem woman, let alone the mother of a country, what she has to do is to set an example in the six palaces. As for you, behind it is Li Yunshan, you don't know how many years I have spent in order to bring down Li Yunshan, you women only have the so-called love for children in your mouth. ”

"Heh, the emperor finally admitted it."

Li Shenlan looked at Yin Chen intently, her eyes were very bright, especially in such a situation, she seemed to be able to see through Yin Chen's heart.

"The emperor has always used his concubines to make use of them. Use the concubine to deal with Li Yunshan, and use the concubine to find the handle that can best defeat him. In the end, what do you have to say about the so-called affection, not to mention the concubines, even the queen mother, Xiang concubine, the emperor's self-righteous love is more cheap than grass for us! ”

With a snap, Li Shenlan's left cheek instantly felt like it was burned by fire. Yin Chen's face as a king was dragged down by Li Shenlan and trampled on it wantonly without reservation. In a fit of rage, a slap fell on Li Shenlan's face.

There was no sound in the cell, but after a while, Li Shenlan's almost silent laughter sounded.

"The emperor is annoyed and angry......"

Li Shenlan fell to the ground and wanted to say something, but saw that the lily of the valley hairpin had fallen from his hand. Even after so long, the hairpin is still not stained with a trace of dust, Li Shenlan has always cherished it, and every time she looks at it, she can remember the scene when she first met Yin Chen.

"The more angry the emperor is, it means that the concubines are right, the emperor has never cared about me, but he has to say that he can make up for the concubines. If it can really be made up, can the emperor give his concubines a vigorous Shengping? ”

Without waiting for Yin Chen's reaction, Li Shenlan grabbed the hairpin in her hand and stood up with lightning speed, and then stabbed Yin Chen's chest fiercely.

How can a person without any foundation in martial arts attack someone who has been practicing martial arts all year round. It's just that I don't know if Yin Chen did it intentionally or why, he really stood there so firmly and let the hairpin into his chest, but Li Shenlan didn't really use all her strength, and she was relieved when the tip of the hairpin didn't go in.

Looking at Yin Chen's eyes, Li Shenlan stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "I know, the lilies in the courtyard have contraceptive effects. Sheng Ping's body is poor, and you have a relationship that you can't drag. ”

But even so, she still couldn't kill him with her own hands.

Li Shenlan thought, the stupidest person in the world is afraid that it is herself except for Queen Rensi.

Yin Chen's injury is the most obvious place in the whole person, and it is impossible to hide it if he wants to hide it with so many eyes. After Concubine Xiang learned the news, she scolded Li Shenlan for being crazy, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong, Li Shenlan had never been such a character, how could she make such a move to seal the devil. It's just that there is news outside the palace, and there is a group of harem inside, and Concubine Xiang can't get out of the way if she wants to go to the prison to see.

"Concubine Xiang, Li Shenlan, a crazy woman like this, where can she be kept in the harem. The emperor's body is the foundation of Daqi, if she is allowed to mess around like this, won't the whole country of Daqi be ruined? ”

"Yes, yes, now that Concubine Xiang is presiding over the Sixth Palace, you should naturally come forward. I think it's the same if I change to Queen Rensi, but I can't tolerate such a demon concubine in the harem! Please ask Concubine Xiang to speak and give death to Concubine Lan! ”

"Please Concubine Xiang Niangniang to speak, give death to Concubine Lan!"

Concubine Xiang pinched the handle of the chair and used great strength in her hand, thinking that she was also trying her best to endure it in her heart.

"The last time you came, the palace had already said that everything in this matter of Concubine Lan has not yet been decided, and we have to wait until the emperor speaks. Now the emperor hasn't said what are you talking about here! ”

The people below still had to argue, but when the words came to their mouths, they were glared back by Concubine Xiang.

In the middle of the stalemate, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Concubine Xiang looked for the sound and saw Qin Yun running in in a hurry, and stepped forward and attached it to Concubine Xiang's ear and said, "Something is going on outside the palace."

When the news of Yin Chen's accident again reached the outside of the palace, the common people exploded all of a sudden, Li Shenlan was bold, not to mention the ministers and concubines in the palace, even the common people couldn't tolerate it anymore. Everyone came to revolt spontaneously, and Li Shenlan swore not to give up.
