Chapter 68: Behind the Scenes
"In the secret room that the princess went to first, only the one on the far right of the three secret passages can lead to escape. It's just that she only probed the first two, and when she entered the third one, she was discovered before she could reach the exit. ”
"The old woman's hands?"
"Yes." Gou Yue responded: "After the Queen Mother killed someone, she sent someone to the Heart Cultivation Hall to deliver the message. Princess, our people are only afraid that it will be even more difficult to do things in the palace now. ”
But no, Yin Chen and the Queen Mother both know that there are fine works in this palace, and it is only a matter of time before they find out whose fine works it is.
At first, the eldest princess wanted to let King Cheng take action when Li Shenlan was making trouble, but she didn't expect Li Shenlan to finally agree to Yin Chen's words and not say anything, and she should do it so quickly.
"What about King Cheng?"
"The King of Nanban has already returned to Nanban to the outside world, and he also went back with Hakoye. But in private, it should have been stayed, but two days ago, the emperor had already proposed to let King Cheng return to Fangcheng. ”
He naturally wanted to be anxious to let Yin Quan go back, after all, if Yin Quan stayed in the capital for one more day, Yin Chen would have to worry about one more day.
The eldest princess looked out the window, and she didn't know if it was because the wind was too strong, but the new leaves that had just sprouted were blown off. A good life ended in such a short time.
"Let King Cheng go back first, as for the big plan, doesn't Sheng Ping still have to do a full moon wine."
"But even if there is a full moon banquet, according to the previous rules, only the princess can come over to the prince's mansion."
"That's enough."
In the final analysis, the eldest prince is just a reason to enter the palace, and as for King Cheng, she believes that he can follow Ha Baoyin into Beijing together.
"By the way, did you tell Li Yunshan about Li Mingjin?"
"Yes, Li Yunshan didn't believe it at first. But he has to believe that there is evidence, and now he is afraid that the heart of wanting to rebel is getting stronger and stronger. ”
The eldest princess had a sarcastic smile on her face when she heard this, and others didn't want to mention her, but she remembered it clearly. To say that Li Yunshan was the eighth henchman at the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that the Dong family didn't give him a wake-up call to the Li family too quickly, I'm afraid that there would be no Li Yunshan now.
"That's right, they don't want people to know, and if they hide what they are covering, the more the palace will tear it open for the world to see.
Arrange it down, at the Shengping Full Moon Banquet, the palace will enter the Shoukang Palace again. ”
"Princess, I'm afraid this is not good. Now all parts of the palace are heavily guarded, especially the Shoukang Palace, which is strict inside and out. ”
The eldest princess looked indifferent, remembering the letter sent by her concubine at the beginning, she suddenly came up with an idea again.
In the palace, Sheng Ping has lived in Changle Palace for three days. It's also strange to say that after Sheng Ping entered the Changle Palace, this disease never had an attack. The complexion is also getting more and more ruddy, and I have an appetite for eating on weekdays.
When the imperial doctor came to check the pulse again, he said that the disease was cured, and as long as he was squeamish in the future, Sheng Ping would definitely be able to grow up safely.
"Look at this, I asked Xiyan to find it from the treasury yesterday, and it looks good embedded in this tiger head hat."
The queen said and handed it to Li Shenlan on the side and looked, it was an East Pearl, and it was said that the East Pearl could only be used by the queen since ancient times. The queen gave this thing to Sheng Ping, which shows her sincerity to the child.
"Niangniang is really willing, and she is not afraid of ruining such a good thing for Sheng Ping."
Although Li Shenlan was happy in her heart, she still had to be polite in the end.
"What's so reluctant to give up, after all, it's just an object, and I can't use it all the time. Besides, let's Sheng Ping a baby in this palace, but we can't give her the best. ”
The two laughed and teased Sheng Ping, and Sheng Ping also knew that he was loved and happy.
Sheng Ping is also a good blessing, almost everyone in the palace likes what she likes, not to mention that the queen and Concubine Xiang are godmothers. Even Hui Zhaoyi, who has never been pregnant, also loves her, and sends some things over from time to time.
"By the way, the Shen Criminal Division sent someone to reply yesterday, saying that Mama Cao was afraid of the crime and sentenced herself."
Li Shenlan's movements stiffened, thinking that she could still get out the person behind her from Mama Cao's mouth, but she didn't expect to die so quickly.
"It's not a way for Wang Jun'er to be grounded like this, and the Queen Mother called me over yesterday with obvious meaning. If Wang Jun'er is not released again, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will speak in person. ”
"Then what about Sheng Ping, will these sins be in vain?"
Thinking of Sheng Ping's painful appearance at the beginning, Li Shenlan replied angrily. said that she just had no evidence that Wang Jun'er did it, otherwise she would have been cut by a thousand knives.
The queen understands Li Shenlan, but the rules are there, and she can't keep pressing Wang Jun'er.
"Ah Luo has already sent someone to check Mama Cao's family background, saying that she has a little grandson, but there is no breakthrough so far."
According to the old routine on weekdays, Mama Cao was instructed by others, so the person behind it must be to take action against Mama Cao's grandson who cares about the most. But Concubine Xiang has been checking for more than half a month, but she has never found anything wrong with her little grandson.
"And what does the mother mean?"
Seeing that Li Shenlan was willing to listen to his opinion, the queen smiled and slowly explained.
"It is only when people are relatively relaxed that they reveal their true nature, and they make mistakes. We have been pressing Wang Jun'er, her vigilance has always been there, even if she is locked up for the rest of her life, she will not make a mistake. ”
"So according to Niangniang's meaning, we have to release Wang Jun'er first, so that she thinks she is okay before we can find a breakthrough?"
The queen laughed, Concubine Xiang was right, Li Shenlan is a smart woman, these things are easy to understand.
"Then do it according to Niangniang's wishes, but there is one condition first, if you catch the evidence of Wang Jun'er's crime, please also ask Niangniang to hand her over to the concubine for disposal."
"Naturally."
This matter was settled, and the queen just wanted to open her mouth and ask Xiyan to pass the decree to release Wang Jun'er, but she saw Xiyan enter the door with a letter.
"Niangniang, this is sent by the National Temple, and the little eunuch who sent the letter said that it was sent by Princess He'an."
And Ann?
The two looked at each other and immediately understood. I guess I knew I had a sister, so I felt like I came to kiss it.
"I heard a while ago that He'an has made great progress in practicing calligraphy recently, so let's take a look at it together this time."
As she spoke, the queen approached Li Shenlan and opened the letter, and what caught her eye was the not-so-good-looking calligraphy written by He'an.
Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and what He An says and says is all around his long-awaited little sister. Then he expressed his thoughts for several ladies, especially for the queen, who especially hoped that she could intercede with Yin Chen for herself, so that she could play in the palace for a few days.
"I forgot about it, and Anbu forgot it, counting a few days before the full moon banquet in Shengping. He'an is now seven years old, and his body is much stronger than when he was a child, so he won't be so squeamish anymore. It doesn't hurt to come back once, just to take advantage of the birthday party, which can be regarded as adding joy. ”
"It's still thoughtful."
The two hit it off, saying that they hadn't seen her for a while since they had returned from the New Year's Banquet and An.
"This letter was written by He'an to Shengping, you are Shengping's mother. It's up to you to go back and forth. ”
Either it is convincing that the queen is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and she knows that Li Chenglan cares most about the identity of Sheng Ping's biological mother, so she asked her to return the letter by name.
Besides, the other half of Wang Jun'er, she finally waited for Xiyan to come over to deliver the decree. This ban has been banned for more than half a month, and she is about to suffocate to death.
"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the master has finally come to the end of the hardship and survived."
"What kind of bitterness is this, this palace must personally regain the emperor's favor, so that it can stand between the six palaces again and not let sluts laugh."
Although Wang Jun'er said that she didn't care, her actual actions betrayed her, and because of the lifting of the grounding, she ate an extra bowl of lunch at noon.
"This palace has long said that she Li Shenlan even if she suspects me, she has no evidence, and in the end, she still wants to release this palace."
The reason why Wang Jun'er has peace of mind is because compared to the witchcraft that framed the Shen family at the beginning, she can be said to have made great progress this time. knew that they might go to check Mama Cao's background, so the arrangement at the beginning was unusual.
The so-called best private school for children is, in the final analysis, to let the family find a relatively good teacher to go to the child's home to take classes.
And every time I go, someone covers and escorts me, and I am not afraid of being discovered at all.
As for Mama Cao's uncompetitive son, Wang Jun'er gave hush money, but it was basically a family heirloom. The couple who have never seen the world must have collected it tightly, for fear of being stolen by others.
The so-called wealth is not exposed, and the concubines of Xiang can't easily find out anything from the surface.
In the east hall, the concubine received a letter from the contact.
The meaning of the letter is to let herself openly expose Wang Jun'er's various crimes at the Shengping Full Moon Banquet, and as for the human and material evidence, she should not worry about it, and only need to clap her hands twice at that time.
The concubine is also strange, when she first sent the message out, the contact person only said that she should stay in the palace obediently and not be nosy.
But now that he has let himself expose Wang Jun'er, he doesn't know what contradictory truth there is.
But the concubine was still ready to do so, although she had never seen who the upper family was from beginning to end. But the promises from the contact person have been fulfilled for themselves.
So even if it is just for her future glory and wealth, she has to be honest and obedient.
Although Sheng Ping was sent to Changle Palace to be raised, Li Shenlan did not stay long after dinner with him at night, so he could only return to Yongfu Palace.
Fortunately, Yin Chen is also considerate of her, and since she got better, she has come to Yongfu Palace to accompany her every night, for fear that Li Shenlan will be sad with her thoughts alone.
On this day, Yin Chen saw that the hour was almost up in the Heart Cultivation Palace, so he prepared to drive to Yongfu Palace for dinner. But suddenly, Hou Zhong pushed the door in, saying that the court judge of the Tai Hospital came to ask to see him.
"It's not the time to ask for peace at such a late hour, and I don't know what the court is saying?"
Yin Chenyuan didn't care too much, who would have thought that the court would bow down and fall to the ground before the court judged, begging for mercy and confession.
"What the hell is going on?"
At this time, Yin Chen had a bad premonition, and his face became serious.
"The emperor atoned for his sins, Weichen was really confused, and the medicine he prescribed to Princess Shengping had plantain in it. And the grassland is also a traditional Chinese medicine, but I didn't expect to react with another medicine, but I was afraid of the princess...... Dependencies are generated. ”
Yin Chen was furious when he heard this, what is this called dependence!
The reason why Yin Chen arranged for Qin Tianjian to say such things was because the Tai Hospital had already guaranteed that there was a prescription for Sheng Ping's treatment at that time.
But now, he told himself that there was something wrong with the medicine.
"Your Majesty, we really didn't find any problems with the two flavors at that time. And at that time, I was in a hurry to treat the princess, but I didn't expect this to happen.
This is...... The person who tried the medicine that day drank it once, and then he didn't drink it, and now he has a condition. The minister was fed the same medicine again to calm down. ”
"What's the situation?"
"The high fever does not go away, and the nonsense does not stop ......"
Yin Chen didn't know how he got into Yongfu Palace, and when he entered, Li Shenlan had just come back not long ago, and he was asking people to make dishes.
"Your Majesty is late today."
Li Shenlan said and took off his cloak for Yin Chen, and then helped clean his hands before pulling him to sit on the dining table.
Those dishes were ordered by her to be studied by the cook, and they were all what Yin Chen liked to eat on weekdays, and the taste was ten times better than that of the imperial dining room.
"What is the emperor thinking, is the dish unappetizing?"
Seeing that Yin Chen had been distracted, Li Shenlan grabbed a chopstick for him and asked with concern.
Yin Chen hurriedly came back to his senses, knowing that he was uncomfortable, he quickly lowered his head and took a bite of food, and then explained with a smile that it was okay.
"I'm thinking about the Sheng Ping Full Moon Banquet, after all, it's our only daughter, and it always has to be beautiful."
"Sheng Ping is still young, and these things are just for adults to see. Whatever, it's a family dinner. ”
Li Shenlan really thought so, and besides, Wang Jun'er was released. The so-called every time something happens at a good banquet, she is really afraid that someone will hurt Sheng Ping after a long time.
"That's not good, I thought that the acrobatics of the concubine at the farewell banquet were very good-looking, so it would be better to let her dance again, which would be considered to add color to Sheng Ping."
"The emperor forgot, the concubine is already your concubine, how can you let her dance like a dancer again, and if she doesn't follow the rules, she may be angry with the concubine."
Yin Chen smiled when he heard this, "What you said is wrong, this matter is still the concubine who went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to find me today." Since people have hearts, it is not easy for us to refute other people's face. ”
Seeing this, Li Shenlan responded. As long as the concubine didn't care, she was afraid that the concubine would not be happy, so she turned her head and hurt Sheng Ping.
Since Sheng Ping was born, Li Shenlan has been a lot more cautious in doing things, and it is nothing if she has an accident, but she is afraid that Sheng Ping will have an accident and give birth to a bad person, so it is not an exaggeration to kill herself.
"By the way, the emperor, the concubine and the queen thought that on the day of the Shengping full moon banquet, they would also take He'an into the palace to play for two days. After Sheng Ping was born, he and An, who were sisters, have been thinking about it, so it is better to come over and play with them for a few days."
"Okay, you just have to worry about it."
Li Shenlan was happy thinking about these things, so she didn't notice Yin Chen's slightly uncomfortable appearance.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the full moon in Shengping. Early in the morning, Li Shenlan performed the canonization ceremony and went to the palace gate to pick up He'an.
