Chapter 11: Threats

Hearing this, the emperor's hand paused for a moment, but it was only a moment before it returned to its natural nature.

"Go to the Taiwei Mansion to spread the word, Lan Guiren is unwell, and she is allowed to enter the palace again later, so that she can be raised in the mansion."

When the father-in-law heard this, he nodded again and again, and said for a while that the emperor favored Li Shenlan, and then went out of the palace to pass the word.

In Changle Palace, the queen flipped through the list of selected show girls, although they all set their positions, but their residences had not yet been decided. In the morning, the Queen Mother called herself over, which meant that she wanted to put Lu Xin in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Li Shenlan also specially said that she liked to be quiet. The meaning of the Queen Mother is self-evident.

"The mother is mixed with the queen mother and the emperor, it's really hard."

Although the queen had a headache, she didn't complain in the end, and she couldn't help but rub her eyes when she looked at the empty palace list sent by the Internal Affairs Office in her hand.

"The emperor knows that Lu Guiren was selected by the Queen Mother, and he will definitely not let people live close, but this Lan Guiren was appointed by the emperor, but I am afraid that the emperor will not be unhappy if he is far away."

"But the Queen Mother, if the mother arranges it like this, the Queen Mother will definitely be angry."

Xiyan is also for the sake of the queen, after all, the harem is always the biggest queen mother, even if the emperor has objections, the queen mother is really serious, and the emperor can't help it.

But as if she hadn't heard it, the queen picked up the brush and began to write her name.

"The Queen Mother lives in Shoukang Palace, it is better to put Lu Guiren and Wang Chang in the Huaqing Palace, close to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother asks, the palace can also say that the emperor can take a look at them every time he asks An, and the Queen Mother should not blame them. ”

Thinking of this, the queen wrote Lu Xin and Wang Jun'er under the Huaqing Palace. After writing and looking at the name, I couldn't help but show an opportunistic smile.

"It's okay for Niangniang to be like this, it's just that Lan Guiren, Niangniang don't let go near the Heart Palace. Before entering the palace, he was remembered by the emperor, and he was still able to go to heaven after entering the palace. ”

What Xi Yan said was righteous indignation, and he wished that the emperor would order Li Shenlan's qualification to enter the palace now.

"The emperor likes it, even if he puts her in the Buddha hall, the emperor will think about it, but it is better to put it in ...... Yongfu Palace is also closer to the emperor, and the emperor is also happy. And you, but I only saw Lan Guiren twice, how can you have such a big opinion about others. ”

"Niangniang, you should be a good person, you don't know that the emperor took care of her illness today, specially approved her to enter the palace a few days late, and sent a lot of things. According to the slave maid, she is a fox! ”

The queen was going to write Li Shenlan's name under Yongfu Palace, but after listening to Xiyan's words, she put down her pen. Xiyan saw it in her eyes, and thought that the queen had listened to her words, and she was very happy in her heart.

"Lan Guiren is sick?"

"Yes, it is said that I have a high fever, why is this asked?"

"Since the noble person has been sealed as the concubine in the palace, the palace naturally has to care. You will ask Hehuan to send some nourishing medicine to Lan Guiren and tell her to recuperate. ”

"!"

Xiyan is face of hatred is not made of steel, she can't figure out why other people's masters are vying for the emperor, but her own generosity is like something.

Helplessly, the queen didn't look at Xiyan at all after the request, and looked back at the list in her hand and muttered to herself.

"I'm already favored and entered the palace late, if I put it in Yongfu Palace, I'm afraid that I will attract the jealousy of the harem......"

was thinking about the word coming in from outside, saying that Concubine Xiang was asking to see the queen outside.

"Please come in yet."

After a while, Concubine Xiang walked across the screen with lotus steps, and saw the queen looking at the list in front of her with a sad face, and said with a slight quip:

"The queen is worthy of being the lord of the six palaces, not like her sister who is useless and wanders around."

"You're really idle, sit down." The queen is very good friends with Concubine Xiang on weekdays, so the two are not restrained when they meet.

"I heard that the emperor allowed your father and brother to enter Beijing earlier so that they could meet you, you are really happy. By the way, Xiyan, hurry up and bring the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum sent by Jiangdu Mansion last time to Concubine Xiang from the library. ”

"Mother, this can't be helped!" Concubine Xiang hurriedly spoke out to stop it, where is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that can be consumed as a courtier.

But the queen didn't pay attention to Concubine Xiang at all, and Xiyan also went out as soon as she smoked.

"Don't be polite to me, your father and brother have been fighting abroad for many years for the stability of Daqi, this Lingzhi is not a reward, it is what your father and brother deserve."

Concubine Xiang still wanted to refuse, but the queen didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

"I heard that your mother has not been in good health, and only servants take care of her at home. Even if your father and brother don't use this Ganoderma lucidum, your mother can also use medicine to regulate her body. ”

Thinking of her mother, Concubine Xiang finally stopped refusing. The Zhao family has a single lineage, except for Concubine Xiang, who is the perennial General Zhao, and there is only one Zhao mother in the Zhao Mansion who lives alone.

"Then the concubine is not polite to Niangniang, Niangniang is watching...... A list of where the show girls live? ”

The queen smiled helplessly, looked at the list on the table and sighed deeply.

"Everything else has been arranged, it's this Lan Guiren, and I feel that it's not right for a while."

Concubine Xiang thought about it for a while before saying, "Noble Lan, but the one who danced at the New Year's banquet?"

"Exactly, I thought that the emperor liked it and arranged for her to go to Yongfu Palace, but I learned that the emperor had specially approved her to enter the palace later because she was sick. Bengong thought that if the already favored person entered the palace late and was so close to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was afraid that he would attract jealousy. Thinking about it, I really don't know where to arrange. ”

After listening to it, Concubine Xiang leaned over and took the list and looked at it carefully for a long time, but whenever she thought of it, she shook her head and denied it after a while.

"Why don't you let Lan Guiren live with me?"

The queen was very surprised when she heard it, and she didn't expect Concubine Xiang to say this. "Staying in Jinghe Palace? But Jinghe Palace has always been the only one who lives alone. ”

"It's boring for Jinghe Palace to live alone with the concubine for so many years, so it's better to let her be a companion with the concubine." Then Concubine Xiang pointed to the palace map to the queen and said: "Besides, Jinghe Palace is not far from the Yangxin Palace, so it is just right."

"It's fine." The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "If the Lan nobles are a good person, they are also a companion with you." If you're a troublemaker, you won't go too far there. ”

Concubine Xiang nodded, then picked up the brush and handed it to the queen, and the name of Lan Guiren was finally written on the paper.

Besides, Li Shenlan had a high fever for a long time, and after the doctor left, she had a fever intermittently, and it was only at noon on the second day that the fever completely subsided and woke up from a coma. Bang Chun stayed by the bed for a day and a night, and now he finally saw that Li Shenlan had woken up, and excitedly beckoned them to stay outside to get hot water and go to the kitchen to heat porridge.

"The little lord woke up, how do you feel now after burning for a day, is it better?" Bang Chun helped Li Shenlan to get up slowly, and hurriedly took the hot water and handed it to Li Shenlan.

A mouthful of hot water was like a throat, and after a day of dryness, her throat was finally a little moist, and Li Shenlan drank two more glasses in a row before she eased up.

"The little master is scared to death of the slave maid, the slave maid makes the chicken shredded porridge hot, and the little master uses a little strength for a while."

"Little ...... Little Lord? Li Shenlan was a little relieved, what did Bang Chun call herself? Little Lord?

Seeing where Li Shenlan was stunned, Bang Chun couldn't help but snicker. "The little lord hasn't woken up yet, yesterday morning the palace sent someone to pass the canonization decree, the emperor named the little lord a nobleman, and gave the title 'Lan' The little lord is now a real nobleman."

Nobleman, Li Shenlan slowed down for a long time before she recovered from Bang Chun's words. Lan noble, the emperor not only gave himself a nobleman, but also gave his boudoir a title. Li Shenlan involuntarily raised a smile on her face, since the farewell banquet came, the emperor's preference for herself was unprecedented.

"The emperor knows that the little master is sick, so he specially allows you to re-enter the palace a few days later, and you can recuperate. Little master, since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, such an honor has never been awarded, and the little master is the first one! ”

After listening to Bang Chun's words, Li Shenlan's smile became much stronger, and a gust of wind suddenly rose outside the window, and Li Shenlan just woke up and shivered coldly when the wind blew. It was also this wind that reminded Li Shenlan of what happened before she was sick, and a lot of things poured into her mind, and Li Shenlan suddenly became serious.

"Where's Aunt Xiao?"

"Aunt Xiao? Miss Mo is not stupid, Aunt Xiao was executed yesterday afternoon, and Bai Aya was chosen. ”

"Dead?" Li Shenlan still didn't believe it.

Bang Chun nodded heavily with great certainty, "The emperor also somehow knew that Aunt Xiao poisoned the little master, and ordered that no burial was allowed, and the people in the palace only pulled the body and threw it to the mass grave on the outskirts of the city." ”

Is the emperor helping himself to vent his anger? At this moment, Li Shenlan couldn't care about it so much, no matter how many thoughts she had, she had already sorted it out at the moment, remembering what she wanted to do before and hadn't done yet, and hurriedly asked about the whereabouts of Captain Bang Chun.

"The master just had lunch, and now he should be in the study to deal with government affairs."

"Let's go to the study to find my father."

"Little Lord! You can go again later, you just woke up and your body hasn't recovered yet, the slave has warmed the porridge for you, you can wait ......"

Li Shenlan couldn't care about these at the moment, "The porridge is not hot yet, it's not too late to eat it later!" ”

The two hurried to the study, and the rules in the house were that idle people could not go in, so Bang Chun could only wait outside and wait for Li Shenlan. Li Shenlan walked into the courtyard alone, and when she got a little closer, she heard the Taiwei talking with Li Yunhao in the study.

"Father is angry, there are only a few of us in the palace, and it is not convenient to walk."

Taiwei Ben was still standing with his back to Li Yunhao with his hands behind his back, and when he heard this, he turned around angrily and picked up the fold on the table and smashed it on the ground.

"It doesn't work! I've been in the palace for so long and I don't have a clue, what use do I want them. ”

"Father is angry, I know that you feel sorry for your sister, but you have not had a clue after checking for so long, which shows that this matter is very difficult, if you continue to investigate, I am afraid that you will be startled."

Taiwei was also angry, thinking of Li Mingjin's death inexplicably, he only hated that he couldn't rush into the Heart Cultivation Hall in person to ask for an understanding.

"It's all Xiao Jinxiu's slut, if she hadn't poisoned Li Shenlan, Li Shenlan would have been able to enter the palace in a few days, just because of her. Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose. ”

Li Yunhao listened to it in his heart, thinking that such a long time of hard work was in vain, and then added fuel to the fire: "It's not Li Mingyue yet, our sister has entered the imperial mausoleum, we can't open the coffin for an autopsy, we can only count on Li Shenlan to enter the palace...... If Li Mingyue hadn't acted impulsively, it wouldn't have been like this. ”

Taiwei was about to say something, but he heard the voice of Steward Wu outside the door.

"Second Miss?"

Li Shenlan was going to listen to it, but she didn't want Steward Wu to suddenly come out and scream. Li Shenlan definitely couldn't listen to it anymore, so she could only push the door and lift her feet into the study.

"Father."

Li Yunhao saw that she also swallowed back what she originally wanted to say, and then got up and wanted to bow and leave.

"What's the matter with me?"

Taiwei didn't blame Li Shenlan, just asked plainly.

"Remembering what I hadn't done before, I naturally wanted to come to my father for help."

Taiwei looked at Li Shenlan, because of a serious illness, her face looked very pale. Thinking of the emperor's attitude towards Li Shenlan, Taiwei's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It's just that he still didn't speak, and raised his hand to signal Li Shenlan to continue.

"Please ask my father to change my father's current residence."

"Why?"

"Li Mingyue can write a letter to the Xiao family to poison me, I can't guarantee that I won't ask the Xiao family to bring a letter to Lu Xin, Lu Xin knows where his father and mother live, in case he hurts them, does my father think that I can still use it for you after I enter the palace."

Hearing this, Taiwei raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, compared to the girl who had just entered the mansion before, the change was so great that Taiwei was a little shocked.

"You're threatening me?"

Li Shenlan smiled, but only shook her head slightly, "The daughter doesn't dare, I just hope that my father will think about it, if there is really something wrong with my father, I am afraid that my daughter will always be the imperial concubine, and there should be no hope of survival......"

If this is the case, then it will be a failure.

"I promise you, when you enter the palace, I will send someone to change the house, before this I will send secret guards to guard the house, and I will also be optimistic about Li Mingyue."

Li Shenlan nodded, "That daughter will also live a good life and help her father find the truth about the death of her eldest sister." ”
