Chapter 108: Planning
"What did you say!"
"This matter has exploded in the palace, and the slave and maid rushed over to tell you as soon as they got the news, and it seems that the news has spread outside the palace. Lan Guifei assassinated the emperor and injured the emperor's arm, I heard that the wound was very deep and the blood was not stopping, and the concubine had ...... Went to jail. ”
The medicinal soup in his hand lost gravity, and fell to the ground with a snap, and Linglong broke his heart.
"Master, do we want to go back?"
Concubine Xiang looked at her mother, and her mother was also looking at herself. Fortunately, Zhao's mother was not seriously ill, but Concubine Xiang was unwilling to enter the palace so quickly, so she found an excuse to stay in Zhao's mansion for two more days, who knew that such a thing happened in the palace.
This matter looked like Li Shenlan was crazy, in fact, Concubine Xiang intuitively told herself that Li Shenlan was deliberately plotting, no matter how big the news in the palace was, as long as there was no permission from the master, even if everyone was cold, there would be no news. And it has only been one night since the incident happened, and the palace knows everything about it, and there is news outside the palace. There is only one possibility, either Li Shenlan or Yin Chen deliberately released the news.
Mother Zhao saw Concubine Xiang's embarrassment, and put her hand on the child's hand and comforted: "If something happens in the palace, you can go back quickly, I'm fine, as for what you said, I'll discuss it with him when Li'er comes back."
"After all, it is the daughter who is not filial, and she can't guard her mother to be filial."
"Let's go, I've heard that Concubine Lan in the palace is very friendly with you, and if something happens to her, she can't sit here safely depending on your temperament."
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Concubine Xiang sat for a while and hurried back to the palace, but she was so fast that she couldn't even sit in the carriage.
"Please let the emperor give death to Concubine Lan! Please give the emperor the death of Concubine Lan! ”
There were already a number of ministers kneeling at the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall at this moment, and Yin Chen specially canceled the Early Dynasty in order not to listen to these ministers in the early court, but these ministers were also in a hurry and knelt at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Concubine Xiang was angry in her heart, and she stepped forward to scold, but she was invincible and defeated in a few moments.
"As a foreign minister, the harem is just a matter of the emperor's family, where is your turn to talk nonsense here!"
"Concubine Xiang's words are light, she Li Shenlan is the emperor who assassinated the emperor, the emperor is the heaven of Daqi, if such a major event is still treated as a family matter, it will not be just child's play!"
"Don't think that the palace doesn't know, because there are two daughters in the family, I want to send them to the palace, I'm afraid that the emperor's marriage hasn't made you remember it yet!"
Those ministers are also biting to death, and it is a well-known fact that Concubine Xiang is Li Shenlan's party, so no matter what Concubine Xiang says, it is fundamentally untenable.
"Concubine Xiang, the emperor invites you in."
It is rare that Yin Chen, who stayed inside and didn't see anyone, finally passed people in. Concubine Xiang didn't bother to pay attention to these people for a while, and hurriedly entered the hall with her feet up, leaving those ministers outside to continue to shout for Li Shenlan's death.
Yin Chen's injuries are indeed very serious, and many times the minor injuries of martial arts practitioners will not be revealed. But Yin Chen's face is now pale and bloodless, if he hadn't looked at him with his eyes open, Concubine Xiang would have thought that Yin Chen was dead.
"Why is it so badly injured?"
"Just so you came, change the medicine for me."
Saying that, Hou Zhong handed over the medicine box, in order not to let people know how many injuries he had, Yin Chen's current injuries were still bandaged by Hou Zhong. Concubine Xiang cut the gauze little by little, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine came to her face. The wound is indeed very deep, and the white bones on the arm can almost be seen twice and the flesh is bloody and turned out, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xiang always followed General Zhao to the barracks in the past, I was afraid that she would vomit out when she saw the scene.
"You've bled too much, and you can't come forward for a few days."
"I know that when things happened, I stayed up until the dead of night to return to the Heart Cultivation Palace."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiang's hand froze in place, so Yin Chen deliberately suppressed the news and did not spread it, so why did the news know so quickly inside and outside the palace? Yin Chen looked at Concubine Xiang's appearance and knew what she was thinking, and explained softly:
"This news was released by Shen Lan, and she did it on purpose."
Why? Concubine Xiang didn't understand, let alone understand, Li Shenlan went crazy and killed the emperor to make her unclear, not to mention that she had to deliberately spread the news, didn't she really want to live?
"She knows everything, Hakoye told her everything she found before she died, the second elder of the Song family acquiesced in Li Mingyue's assassination, and it is reasonable for her to hate me for wanting to avenge them."
"What do you say...... Did you really kill the second elder of the Song family? ”
Yin Chen smiled bitterly, hearing the meaning of this, it seems that Li Shenlan has long had such a conjecture. Yes, she was also crazy at the beginning to question herself about the sachet, after all, she was deceiving her.
"Are you crazy? Why you should do it! ”
Concubine Xiang also shut up after asking, this is not someone else, he is the emperor, naturally everything is for Daqi, Concubine Xiang is a smart person, and she quickly understood Yin Chen's purpose in doing this. But in order to separate Li Shenlan and Li Yunshan, he killed the lives of two innocent old people, how cruel. What's even more sad is that from the very beginning, Li Shenlan and Li Yunshan did not agree, and Yin Chen's actions can be said to be redundant, and Li Shenlan was also affected.
"You did this and she knew about it, it was like torturing her to the point that life is worse than death......"
Dead, Concubine Xiang seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly changed the medicine for Yin Chen in her hand, and then asked, "Where did you lock Shen Lan up?"
"In the inner cell of the palace, you know that I can't do anything else......"
Before Yin Chen finished speaking, he saw that Concubine Xiang had already rushed out, and after a while, Yin Chen suddenly understood Li Shenlan's purpose of spreading the news, but it was too late.
The ministers outside the hall shouted more and more fiercely, and Yin Chen could not dispose of Li Shenlan, and they knelt and died in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Inside the prison, Li Shenlan at this moment is already in a different situation, like a bright and bright crystal treasure that is now covered with a thick layer of ash by the surrounding environment. Li Shenlan is still wearing that dance dress, even in this prison, she is still like the white lotus that is not stained with dust, isolated from the world.
"Why do you want to spread the news, do you know that the emperor didn't want your life in the first place, you are doing this, and now there are ministers kneeling there outside the Heart Cultivation Hall to ask for your life!"
Concubine Xiang was extremely emotional, she wanted to keep Li Shenlan, just like she desperately wanted to pull Dong Siwan back to the light, but it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop sinking like she was carrying a thousand pounds of burden, sinking deeper and deeper. Li Shenlan looked at Concubine Xiang and smiled, and then said in a coquettish voice that was difficult to refuse, even though Concubine Xiang was angry and annoyed, she still lost to her star eyes, and signaled Qinyin to hurry up and go outside to cook some good dishes for Li Shenlan.
Even in prison, Li Shenlan still loved to hurry, and wiped the stone bed with a handkerchief for a long time before motioning for Concubine Xiang to come and sit down.
"Shen Lan, why ......"
"In fact, before I entered the palace, I was ready to be buried for the rest of my life. After entering the palace, I didn't want to compete for favor, because I knew that I was just an eyeliner planted in the harem by Li Yunshan. I didn't want to embarrass Yin Chen, I thought he had me in his heart...... Later, it was he who said to me, "Even in the name of a king, you must protect me all my life." Concubine, concubine, he said that as long as I want, it will be mine. But I was stupid at the time, and I forgot that there was a posterior.
I didn't want to be his wife, even if it was a concubine, as long as he had me in his heart.
At first, I always thought that I was Li Mingjin's stand-in, and the first time Li Yunshan saw me, he said that I looked like her, not to mention that I knew that Li Mingjin was his concubine at that time, so I always thought I was her stand-in. ”
People are like this, once they accept a setting and fall in love with the person they shouldn't love when they accept it, the sudden change tells them that they are just a stand-in for the queen, not to mention that the queen is still alive. Disgusting, hateful, and hateful with the revenge of killing his father all struck, Li Shenlan was really strong to stand here.
"That year, he saved me from danger on East Street, and he recommended my plate of steamed sugar cheese in the carriage, and now I know that it is all the things that the queen likes to eat."
Li Shenlan sat next to Concubine Xiang with an extremely bitter expression, which was the same as raising a child with her hard work and suddenly denying herself and telling you that he was someone else's child.
"I don't understand the bitterness, I guessed your ending from the first time I saw you at the farewell banquet that year, so I love you to help you just hope you don't go the old way of thinking about it again......"
"What's the old way?" Li Shenlan felt that there might be a lot of old things that he didn't know about Yin Chen's killing of the second elder.
Concubine Xiang raised her head and looked at the only small window above the cell, the wind blowing in and the sun was extremely dazzling.
The weather was as sunny as it is today, with just the right amount of breeze.
"Si Juan and I have known Yin Chen since childhood, I have known him for a long time that he likes Si Juan and will jokingly call him brother-in-law in private, originally everything was very beautiful, even if the emperor did not touch me after entering the palace, I have always been spoiled by Si Juan, and my life is like this. Even at that time, I made a bet with Si Wan that after she gave birth to the prince, she would announce the death of my shooting to the world, and I could also escape from the palace to find Gu Chip.
But there is always a day when good things are broken, Jia Jieyu poisoned Si Juan, and it was discovered that the child in Si Juan's belly turned into blood almost instantly. It was a formed female fetus, and if she was born, she would be as cute as Sheng Ping. It's just that when something happens, it can't be changed, Jia Jieyu is poisoned, not only the child, but also the body with Sijuan is damaged, so there will never be any more children. ”
At that time, Empress Rensi almost fell to hell, and every day no one was a ghost or a ghost, she cried with her child's toys in the dark. It's just that in desperation, the queen also found out that something was wrong, even if Jia Jieyu was bold, there was still her mother's family behind her, and she would dare to do it if she had no one behind her back. It's just that the queen's body is inconvenient, and it was the time when the child was mourning, and the queen couldn't pull away at all, so Concubine Xiang was dragged to investigate.
"It was only after this check that I found out that Jia Jieyu's mother family seemed to have been convicted by the emperor, but behind it, the queen mother's people quietly exchanged the tanuki for the prince, and even gave a lot of gold and silver as a reward, it can be said that Jia Jieyu's life was exchanged for the glory of her mother's family for a lifetime."
The queen mother is the emperor's pro-mother, and the mother is naturally the emperor, and before the queen's miscarriage, the Dong family had just had a bribery incident and was found out that the queen's father, Dong Situ, was a party of the first emperor's eight princes, and the rebellion was unpredictable.
"I couldn't stop the car when I checked, Dong Situ was sentenced to be demoted and went elsewhere, but on the way, he was killed by robbers. Come to think of it, you know who did it, the emperor will not spare the rebellious person, and naturally he will not keep his life. ”
It's no wonder that Concubine Xiang said that she was following the old path of Empress Rensi, not to mention that the second elder of the Song family was acquiesced by Yin Chen, and even the queen's father was killed by Yin Chen's own order.
Queen Rensi naturally knew about this matter, and the grief and indignation in her heart could be imagined, but compared to Li Shenlan, she couldn't pull it out even if she fell deeper. Even if Yin Chen hurt her again, she still liked it in her heart, concentrated on taking care of the harem for him, and paid silently. is like such a contradictory mind like a heavy shackle that binds her layer by layer, and she lives in a nightmare for the rest of her life.
"Siwan doesn't have the blood like you, let alone assassinate the emperor, and he was finally liberated half a year ago in such a painful life."
"That kid...... Jia Jieyu was killed by the emperor himself......"
"Even if he didn't give the order in person, he acquiesced, behind Si Wan is the high position and power of Si Juan's Mansion, which is more powerful than the Taiwei Mansion at the beginning, and the emperor will naturally not let it go easily, not to mention that Si Juan is the queen, if he really gives birth to the prince, there will be a scene of dictatorship of his relatives, he is the emperor and the king of Daqi, and it is impossible for the entire Daqi to gamble."
No wonder, no wonder when Sheng Ping was by the queen's side, the queen took care of her more thoughtfully than herself, who was a mother-in-law, and she would know how to cherish it more if she lost, which is why the queen failed to survive after Sheng Ping's death.
Sheng Ping's appearance can be regarded as a ray of light rekindled in her originally dark life, but the candle flame is too short, as short as a dream. When he woke up from the dream, he fell back into the original darkness, letting himself be bound by shackles, and he didn't bother to break free from the bruises all over his body. ”
Li Shenlan was silent for a long time, if she only thought that she was the stupidest person in this palace before, but now it seems that the most stupid person is Queen Rensi. It seems that born of love will also be trapped by love, and people are destined to dedicate their lives to the royal family and be victims of the struggle between the royal family and the courtiers.
"Do you remember the guards I gave you?"
Li Shenlan looked up at Concubine Xiang, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this.
"Luo Bai is definitely the one with the strongest quality and skills in all aspects of this group of people, I guessed early on that you would reuse her, but I didn't expect you to ask her to find out about Li Mingjin......"
