Even though the pair of beautiful people in the painting are looking ahead without squinting, they can feel that there is only a strong affection between the two of them with each stroke. And the woman in the painting is even more familiar and terrifying, just like ...... Mirror.

"Mother, it's not!"

"It's not me, it's Empress Rensi."

Li Shenlan looked at the painting and finally knew why she didn't see the portrait of the current emperor and queen when she went to the studio for the first time, and remembered that the painter said that he had a statue of Guanyin in his hand, but now that he thinks about it, the queen mother is clearly a golden bottle of worship, where is there a statue of Guanyin.

Things have come to this point, everything seems to be reasonable, why did Yin Chen ask her to take this painting. Li Shenlan hurriedly re-rolled the scroll, and then hurried to Changle Palace.

The palace was very depressed everywhere, and white silk was everywhere to show mourning for Empress Rensi. The Changle Palace was full of crying, but among the palace concubines kneeling outside the courtyard, there was no Lu Xin.

As soon as Li Shenlan entered, she saw Concubine Xiang talking to herself next to the coffin, and the queen left in a hurry without leaving anything behind.

"You're here."

"Hmm."

"It's really embarrassing for Yin Chen, I can still promise to release you." The sarcasm of Concubine Xiang's words, regardless of whether others can hear it or not, just said the words that offended Yin Chen in a grand manner. No wonder the people in the palace say that Concubine Xiang is becoming more and more presumptuous by relying on the exploits of the Zhao family.

Li Shenlan didn't say much, and put the scroll on the table seemingly calmly, and then walked to the tablet and respectfully kowtowed to the queen. In the final analysis, since Li Shenlan entered the palace, except for Concubine Xiang, the queen took the most care of herself. And now, the three sisters are scattered, and the original three sisters still have lost their original appearance.

"What did you take?" Concubine Xiang was not polite, and walked to the table and opened it as she spoke. She had drunk a lot of wine, but the next second she saw the painting, she was more than half sober.

Seeing her magic, Li Shenlan knew that most of her guesses were right, and slowly got up from the ground and walked to Concubine Xiang's side, Li Shenlan's face was a little resolute, but her voice was a little trembling.

"Sister, there is something that has bothered me for a long time, and I got the answer at the beginning, but now it seems that the answer is fake......"

"Shen Lan, many things are not what you think."

"Really?"

If Li Shenlan had changed before, she might have believed it, but now that she has gone through so much, Sheng Ping is gone, and the queen has followed, thinking about Yin Chen's attitude that day, Li Shenlan believes that she is a fool again.

"I also blame me for being too stupid in the past, I really thought that I was liked by the emperor to enter the palace, in fact, if you think about it, you should know, in addition to the reason of the Taiwei Mansion, I am afraid that there is also my face......"

Concubine Xiang wanted to say something, but Li Shenlan didn't give her a chance at all, her attitude was clear, "Ah Ming, is it the name of Queen Rensi?" ”

The voice fell, and there was no other sound except for the slave concubines in the courtyard who were crying and mourning. But because of this, all the anger has become very strange. It's as if a huge conspiracy has finally been ripped off the last fig leaf.

"Sister, I don't think my time is numbered. I only found out about it yesterday, but I'm afraid that it won't be able to start today. As soon as the East Window incident happened, I would be pushed out to be a scapegoat, which was the emperor's decision and Li Yunshan's. ”

The matter about the Taiwei Mansion was the news that Luo Baijue sent in yesterday, and it is said that Bang Chun was investigating Li Mingjin's matter by accident. Li Yunshan has always been the person of the Eighth Prince, and he has always wanted to oppose Yin Chen as the emperor.

"So I just want to ask, Ah Ming, who is it."

Concubine Xiang let out a long sigh at this time, and she knew in her heart that she couldn't hide. From the moment Li Shenlan was discovered by Li Yunshan, Li Shenlan's ending was already doomed.

"It's Si Juan's nickname, not only me and Si Juan, we and Yin Chen have known each other since childhood."

It turns out that everything is really like this.

"Then why is the queen's face different from mine now, or different from back then?"

If it weren't for the change in Dong Siwan's face, I am afraid that Li Shenlan would not have been able to be concealed for so long.

"That was a long time ago, when Si Juan's miscarriage child was born without breath, because of the good things that Jia Jieyu did back then, both mother and daughter were poisoned. The doctor said that only two guarantees one, because childbirth is already dangerous, not to mention that premature birth can be poisonous at any time.

At that time, Siwan was already in a coma, and Yin Chen ordered that the adult must be saved. But in the end, the child didn't stay, Siwan was still infected with poison, and her body collapsed, and she couldn't have children anymore.

The poison is not visible on weekdays, but once it attacks, the heart is as unbearable as a pinprick stick, and the body will chill from time to time. For so many years, Si Wan has lived on medicine......"

Concubine Xiang suddenly smiled and picked up the wine glass again and drank it all, the wine was so spicy that Concubine Xiang, who had always been drinking, choked up.

"Siwan has been depressed since she woke up, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, and she is often asked by the Queen Mother to educate. And that Jia Jieyu also knew that she had no hope and became an outcast, so she ran to Changle Palace like crazy before the execution in a fit of anger. At that time, Si Wan was already weak, and the people in the palace were all driven out by her, and a cup of extremely hot porridge was splashed on Si Juan's face.

Siwan's current face was saved by asking for medicine from the Antarctic Snow Mountain, but in the end, he lost his original face, and his eyes lost the original light. ”

No wonder, Li Shenlan said in her heart No wonder every old man didn't feel stiff when he saw his first face, he and Dong Sijuan back then can be said to have this eight-point look. These eight points are like each other, and two or three points Dong Sijuan's former innocence and joy are enough to make himself rise to prominence after entering the palace.

"What about my sister? For me, is it because of this face? ”

"At first, it was."

Concubine Xiang didn't hesitate, "The first time I saw you was at the farewell banquet that year, and the white dance you danced Siwan used to like to dance the most, and in an instant I felt like I was back ten years ago......

But then I found out that you are not Sijuan, you are yourself, you have your own thoughts, even if you are threatened by Li Yunshan, you also have your own independent thoughts, you are not anyone's puppet. ”

After Li Shenlan left, Concubine Xiang didn't speak, just sat quietly in front of the queen's coffin. She didn't finish the story, nor did she go into detail. Li Shenlan's white dance that year had already been arranged by Li Yunshan, and what she didn't tell Li Shenlan was that no matter the behavior or living habits taught to her by Li Fu, it was all taught by Dong Siwan. Even the white dance clothes are almost exactly the same as Dong Siwan's back then.

So from the very beginning, Li Shenlan was destined to be Dong Siwan's stand-in and a puppet for all of them.

It's just that these words are too sad, Concubine Xiang didn't dare to think about what terrible actions she would make after telling Li Shenlan.

On the way, Li Shenlan walked very slowly, and felt that the road to this palace was extremely long, as if she would never end her life.

"Niangniang, aren't we going back to the palace?"

Li Shenlan shook her head, what are you going to do when you go back? That palace originally thought that it was the only one that Yin Chen gave him, but only now did he know that everything he got was just a substitute for others.

Just as he was thinking about it, a very noisy sound came from the direction of the main entrance of the palace.

When everyone looked in that direction, they saw a group of palace people who seemed to have seen something terrible, and they ran this way, screaming as if they were crazy.

Where had Shuqiu seen such a situation, but he was extremely scared, and his body couldn't help but lean on Li Shenlan. But there are words in his mouth, what kind of heavenly spirits, for fear that these people will come and bully him.

However, when the palace people were pushing deeper and deeper, Li Shenlan finally heard the frightened shouts in their mouths:

"Li Yunshan colluded with the Southern Barbarians to attack! The gates are about to be broken! ”

It happened without warning.

"Mother, let's run!"

Run? Where are you going? Li Shenlan looked up at the huge sky, people say that the world is boundless, but in the end, why is it home?

Li Shenlan asked Shuqiu and them to escape, but Shuqiu saw that Li Shenlan didn't want to run. She said that she would be where the master was, even if their legs trembled very much when she said this, Zangdong's eyes were red.

The three of them walked against the flow of people to the palace gate, and Li Shenlan said that he wanted to go to the city gate to have a look.

"The world says that this capital is the most beautiful place, but I feel that the huge imperial city is not as good as the thatched courtyard I used to have."

I don't remember how long I walked, but I escorted Li Shenlan to the highest part of the city wall in the autumn and winter. As far as the eye can see, in addition to the great rivers and mountains of Shengjing, there is also the smoke of gunpowder at the entrance of the palace. In a trance, Li Shenlan saw that bright yellow, he was also very tired, right? When he was a child, he was pushed to the top of the top of the 10,000 people, and now he has to take risks in person to protect the city behind him.

"Mother, let's go back."

"Can't go back......"

"What?"

I don't understand the harvest of autumn, what does it mean not to go back?

But Li Shenlan knew in her heart that in this war, in addition to Nanban, there was also Li Yunshan. And herself, after all, is his daughter of Li Yunshan. Regardless of whether you win or lose, the people in this palace will be the first to take a knife on yourself.

Suddenly, a drop of water fell on Li Shenlan's face, and then one drop after another. The dark clouds in the distance gathered together as fast as they could, and the raindrops hit people's faces with great pain. Li Shenlan stretched out her hand, and just like that, no matter how much rain and rain gathered, it gradually passed between her fingers after all.

"No time......"

The three of them just watched the war in the distance, listening to countless screams and fights. Li Shenlan thought so, if she could be as calm as she is now, maybe everything would not have happened.

In the distance, there was a unified but extremely fast footsteps, and he looked at who could it be if it was not Hou Zhong who was the leader.

"Grandpa Hou."

"Concubine Lan is offended, I found something from your palace that shouldn't be found, you have to go with us."

Li Shenlan smiled shallowly when she heard this, and raised her feet to follow them, but this move made Hou Zhong stunned for a moment, he really didn't think that Li Shenlan would admit it so obediently.

"Don't worry, if the emperor can come back, he will definitely give you a clean slate."

In the past, Li Shenlan treated Hou Zhong well, and he didn't know Yin Chen's layout, so Li Shenlan's reaction was only because she was frightened by the war outside.

"My father-in-law is too careful, the emperor never fights unprepared battles, let's go."

After Li Shenlan finished speaking, she actually walked in the front, looking at the guards in the row behind her, who didn't know, she thought that she was going to lead her troops to fight.

According to the rules, Li Shenlan was arranged in the prison, but fortunately, Hou Zhong was still kind enough to help arrange a lot of things, Li Shenlan's compartment had quilts and refreshments, and it looked like an inn.

"There is Father-in-law Lao, and there is still something to worry about you helping to take care of them outside in the autumn, so send them to Concubine Xiang. Follow me in the end, I am wronged, and my sister is also short of people, you can look at it and arrange it. ”

"Yo, the old slave can't afford your trouble, if you want to say that they are wronged to follow their mother in the autumn, then there are really no good girls in this palace."

Hou Zhong instructed the surrounding guards a few more words, after all, Li Shenlan still has a dragon seed in her belly, where would anyone dare to slack off easily.

Li Shenlan sat in the prison like this, the sky outside gradually cleared, and the sun came in through the only window, Li Shenlan really looked like hope, but now this situation is only afraid that such a sun will not be able to see it in the future.

Concubine Xiang is right, Yin Chen never fights unprepared battles. Rao is Li Yunshan moved the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians, but in the end, he still couldn't beat Yin Chen.

As early as ten days ago, Yin Chen deliberately released the news, saying that the Zhao family's father and son were ambushed in Nanban, and their life and death were uncertain. In fact, the ambush was not fake, but the father and son of the Zhao family were saved by someone. After Yin Chen learned the news, he simply made a plan, and asked Zhao Li to quietly rush to the capital with a certain number of people behind his back.

On the other hand, General Zhao Lao designed to mix people into the Nanban army, and the day before entering Beijing, the Zhao family army gave the Nanban army a certain amount of laxatives.

The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, although this trick is damaged, it is extremely effective.

In today's battle, except for Li Yunshan's 100,000 soldiers and horses, nearly half of the soldiers and horses of Nanban were in trouble during the battle. This combat effectiveness has dropped by more than one degree, Yin Chen cooperated with the Zhao family's father and son, and deliberately let them into the capital.

So as soon as he invited the king into the urn and sang it, it was an embattled song, Li Yunshan's soldiers and horses were wiped out, not to mention, the king of the Southern Barbarians was beheaded by Yin Chen on the spot, and Hakoye was captured alive and put in prison.

The prison in the palace was far away from the palace gate, but Li Shenlan still heard the turbulent cheers.

Yin Chen won, even if he lost himself after all, Li Shenlan still smiled at this moment.

"You really have a big heart, and you can still laugh when you are dying."

"Daqi has won, why can't this palace be happy?"

Li Shenlan looked up at Lu Xin at the door, and there was no trace of surprise in her eyes.

"Hou Zhong dug out your intelligence letter to Li Yunshan in your palace, and you can't get rid of Li Shenlan's accusation of collusion and rebellion."

"There is no excuse for the sin you want to add, and besides, do you really think you have won now? In the end, it's not the same ending as the main palace, in the end, it's just a chess piece. ”
