172 Willow Shore, Dawn Wind and Waning Moon (3)
Although it fell into the water, the imperial doctor quickly came to see it, and said that it was no big deal, just drank a few sips of cold water, and the person was frightened, but it was just a few rests. When it is nearly June, the weather is gradually getting hot, because there is a tall white magnolia tree in Zhuang Jieyu's Duan Yutang, under the moisture of sweet rain and dew not long ago, the new shoots will grow into tender green leaves in a flash, like jade, the summer wind blows, the leaves and petals of the tree are like butterflies flapping their wings, accompanied by the fragrance bursts, it is very elegant and good-looking, plus the branches are stacked and dense, like a giant umbrella, covering the afternoon sun, bringing people a coolness.
In the past two, Qiu Si and Dong Xue always like to detain me in Wanyi, which makes me really depressed, but by chance I know this Qiao Sect of Duan Yutang, where can I let it go, so I always like to run to Zhuang Jieyu.
Looking up, the flawless magnolia trees, clusters, clusters, pieces, like white snow hanging all over the branches, like a white pigeon flying down the branches, like rain and dew peach blossoms blooming, like a piece of colorful glow under the west mountain pressing the branches.
Zhuang Jieyu snapped her fingers, "Today's May 20th, at most after May 25th, Shen Jieyu will definitely die," she raised her face and laughed, stared at me and said, "It's not in vain for you to fight hard." β
I smiled and said nothing.
Zhuang Jieyu took my hand and complained: "You are also sincere, you will do a show, why do you really jump into the pool by yourself, fortunately it is early summer, the pool water is not very cold, if it is earlier, you will have a serious illness when you jump." β
I pursed my lips and said: "If the drama is not real, how can everyone be convinced, if I don't really jump, there are so many pairs of eyes staring on the shore, there are always people who can see the flaws." β
Zhuang Jieyu sighed lightly and said: "Then seeing you really throw yourself into the pool is really scared to death, fortunately, Your Majesty came quickly, I didn't think about it, and I jumped down to save you, I looked at the queen and Feng Shuyi coldly above, the two of her saw this situation, and her face was bruised in a flash, and when Your Majesty jumped into the water, the queen was caught off guard and even almost fainted." β
Qiu Si quietly knelt beside me and said, "It's all the slave and maid, if it weren't for the slave and maid, the mother wouldn't have to be so risky." β
I chuckled, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, and it's not all for you." β
Thinking about it in autumn, Dong Xue seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but be angry: "That Shen family is really excessive, I heard that these few have been swearing in the cold palace to curse our mother!" β
I smiled faintly, "Don't worry, that's all she has left." β
Dong Xue said: "Some of the father-in-law guards who took care of the cold palace said that His Majesty gave him a glass of wine yesterday, but the hateful Shen family has always refused to die, and he has to shout to see His Majesty again, Your Majesty has all the opportunities, where is the time to see her?" β
Zhuang Jieyu glanced at me, "This Shen family is really a tendon," and smiled again, "I still think that your letter is really Your Majesty's handwriting!" β
I said, "She's stupid," and sighed lightly, asking, "Have you been back to the queen?" β
Dong Xue said: "After going back, the queen doesn't care, she just says 'it's over', which makes people scratch their heads." β
Zhuang Jieyu asked, "Have you returned to Your Majesty?" β
Dong Xue said: "Your Majesty ignored it, and the father-in-law who passed the message knelt silently for a long time, and could only retreat in mourning, and I don't know what Your Majesty meant." β
Zhuang Jieyu glanced at me and said, "The bell must be tied to the bell." β
I sighed: "The guards and father-in-law who are guarded by the cold palace are so irresponsible, and they can't even deal with a little woman who has no power to restrain the chicken." β
Dong Xue said hatefully: "The Shen family claims that he has been framed by others, and he doesn't know why he wants to die, even if he wants to die, he must first see His Majesty and tell him before he dies, and he never wants to be a ghost who dies." β
I smiled coldly, "In this case, then I have to go to the cold palace for a trip, just to send it off, and let her die to understand." β
As soon as I got up from my seat, Qiu Si was startled, and hurriedly knelt at my feet, begging: "What kind of place is the cold palace, the body of the mother's daughter, you must not go!" β
I raised my eyes to look at the branches and saw a few rays of golden sunlight leaking in, and stroked the slightly messy pearl tassels between my hair and temples, "I must go, although the matter of Shen's refusal to die seems irrelevant, but if it is really left unchecked, it will implicate many people, and the first to bear the brunt of it are me and Zhuang Jieyu." β
Saying this, Qiu Si also realized the great hidden danger in it, so he ordered someone to prepare a substitute shoulder and go with Dongxue to go with me.
The original name of the cold palace was Sansheng, Xu is the name is not good, "Sansheng" is a word cloud: the long gate is no longer left, the six palaces are abandoned, and the Sansheng Wanglou is abandoned. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had such a grace in the golden house, from the crown princess to the queen of the middle palace, how glorious, and finally lost to Wei Zifu because of nothing, and was imprisoned in the Changmen Palace, how sad.
Sansheng was originally a rare secluded retreat, once also magnificent and prosperous, but many years ago a concubine was satisfied in her own bed because of the unhappiness of the ancestors, living in Sansheng although far away from right and wrong, but also far away from the ancestors' sight, once forgotten, it is difficult to get attention, not to mention the harem beauties three thousand, over time, this concubine was completely left behind, and I don't know how long it took, there was no hope, people boiled their heads, depressed, and hanged themselves. In private, many old grandmothers will say that the resentment in these three lives is too deep, the anger is too heavy, repeatedly, year after year of word of mouth, there are very few concubines who enter the palace are arranged in this residence, and then several people who have been arranged one after another seem to have no good end, either crazy, or suicide, gradually, the palace people are respectful of here, and Sansheng has become a place where the deposed concubines are detained and waiting for death, hence the name: Cold Palace.
Before entering the cold palace, I had already heard Shen's dirty scolding words, which were so vicious that I couldn't bear to hear it, and I ordered my little father-in-law to stay outside, and I walked straight inside. When the father-in-law saw me come in, he knelt down to ask for peace in a hurry, and the father-in-law who came to give the wine was the father-in-law who served in Luo Xi's imperial study, and he saluted and said: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, you see, from yesterday to now, there has been a lot of trouble all the time, although it is a waste concubine, but it is also the person who entered the palace of the Shen family, we don't have a word and don't dare to force it." β
I said: "It's okay, didn't I come to persuade her, after all, in the face of life and death, everyone has to fight, and you can't blame her entirely." β
The father-in-law laughed and said: "Zhaoyi Niangniang is really a living bodhisattva of the slaves!" β
When the door was opened and closed, Shen Shi saw that I only brought Dongxue in, took two breaths, sat on the dusty cold palace chair, and smiled provocatively at me: "I have never been able to see that you have always been weak and haggard with such a bold face, and you dare to come to a place like the cold palace." β
I smiled peacefully, "If I haven't done anything wrong, why shouldn't I dare?" β
She laughed wildly and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, you blamed me, isn't it a bad thing?" β
I said calmly: "Blame you because you deserve to die, and besides, I gamble with my own life, if God wants to take me, I won't wait until now." β
Shen Shi stared at me fiercely, his eyes like sharp knife lights coming towards me, "You are so ruthless!" Be cruel to others! Be harder on yourself! β
I smiled, "If you don't have a ruthless heart, how can you survive in this harem where the dark tide is turbulent and walking on thin ice?" β
Shen sneered: "You finally got your wish, what are you going to do today?" β
I pulled out my handkerchief to dust the dust in the air, and chuckled, "I heard that you will die if you don't want to, let's see what's going on, if you have any wishes, maybe I can help you." β
She looked at me with a sneer, took a sip, and said in a sarcastic tone: "The sun is coming out in the west, will you help me?" β
Dongxue pulled up her sleeves to help me wipe the surface of the chair, I sat down and said, "Actually, you and I don't have such a big grudge, but you shouldn't have pressed Qiu Si into the well and drowned her, I didn't want your life when I didn't know about it." β
Shen snorted coldly: "I don't believe you, you just want to kill me step by step!" β
I smiled lightly, "Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you that I didn't do it because you were punished, but someone wanted to frame me through you, but she didn't count the queen's thoughts." β
Shen asked, "Who is that person?" Hanging his head, he said hatefully: "It must be Zhuang Jieyu's person!" β
I shook my head, "Zhuang Jieyu has always been with me, how could she do such a thing, take 10,000 steps back, with her thoughtful means, even if she does, she will not do it so obviously." β
Shen's expression changed and changed, as if he understood something, and then he laughed sharply: "What if it's Feng Shuyi? β
I said in a deep voice, "You're being used without knowing it. β
Shen raised his eyebrows and said contemptuously: "With the status of my Shen family in His Majesty's heart, how could I put her in my eyes, and it was easy to earn the position of Shuyi, and it was not because of her dead father that she climbed up!" β
I smiled and sighed: "What kind of face do you have to mock Feng Shuyi now, do you really think that it has nothing to do with your family that you can enter the palace back then?" β
My words were as cold as ice and snow, Shen's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked knowingly, "What do you mean?" β
I laughed, "Do you really think that Your Majesty has ever had a sexual affection for you?" β
Shen's voice trembled, "Of course, otherwise...... Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have asked someone to bring me that note...... Your Majesty...... I want to see Your Majesty...... As long as I make it clear, Your Majesty will definitely not be willing to kill me. β
I lowered my eyes and asked with a smile, "Then why doesn't Your Majesty even want to see you this time?" β
She pointed at me, "You must be the one who is doing this!" β
I touched the colorful silk on it, and said with a low smile: "Don't lie to yourself, the people who are waiting outside now, and the people who sent a message to Your Majesty last night, are all your Majesty's father-in-law who serves on your Majesty's side, what kind of stalk do I have to make from these people, if Your Majesty wants to see you, why haven't you come now?" He sighed softly, "I might as well tell you that not only does Your Majesty not want to see you, but even the Queen Mother does not want to see you, do you know why?" β
Shen shook his head, "No." β
My tone was calm, but word by word, I said loudly: "Because even the queen mother knows that you are certain to die, and Your Majesty has nothing to say about you." β
Shen Shi said with tears in his eyes: "That piece of paper is clearly written by His Majesty, I know His Majesty's handwriting......"
I interrupted, "That's what I wrote." β
Shen looked incredulous, "Impossible! No way! β
I suppressed my voice and said vigorously: "That's what I wrote, I imitated His Majesty's handwriting, haven't you seen it clearly, this is a circle, otherwise how can I blame you?" β
Shen bent down on the back of the chair in a dejected manner, and said with a strong breath: "Even if it ...... Even if it is a circle, even if Your Majesty has nothing for me, but my Shen family has made meritorious contributions to supporting Your Majesty to ascend the throne and has a great reputation, just by virtue of this, Your Majesty will not kill me, if Your Majesty knows your circle, Your Majesty will not let you go! β
I chuckled lightly and said calmly: "You are so naΓ―ve, no one has told you, the husband you serve on the side is the Emperor of Southern Liang, the Shen family has a high merit, and has always disagreed with His Majesty's political views, and has tolerated it for a long time, Your Majesty wants to get rid of the Shen family's forces is not one or two, and the side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly, and I, just look at this point to give Your Majesty an excuse to open the knife, even if I don't hand over this knife, there will eventually be one, Your Majesty will find it yourself, and it won't be too long, and if Your Majesty knows the reason, It will only push the boat down the river according to my wishes, and as for you, it is just a beginning omen of the Shen clan's downfall. β
Shen shed tears and said in a deep voice: "I think that my Shen family is loyal to His Majesty, and in the end it is not worth it!" β
I lowered my eyelashes, sighed, and said in a fierce tone: "Loyalty, just talking, in fact, there is no evidence, is it possible that the Shen family still wants to take advantage of the original support to ascend the throne to override the imperial power?" β
Shen Shi was silent for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes immediately nailed to my face, as if grasping the last straw, and said loudly: "There is also the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother won't ignore my Shen family! It won't be left alone! β
I smiled and sighed: "Queen Mother? Shaking his head slightly, "You also think too highly of your Shen family, no matter how much the Queen Mother favors the Shen family, in the end, the Queen Mother is still the queen mother of Her Majesty, and the blood is connected, what is your Shen family, at most it is just a courtier of the Queen Mother's lineage, the Queen Mother followed the first emperor all the way, how could she not know which is more important than the world's grand plan and your Shen family?" β
She exhaled the turbidity in the middle, and was silent for a long time, Dongxue helped me up, and was shifting steps, my father-in-law brought someone in, greeted me, and put the moon-white glass cup containing the wine in front of the Shen family, and respectfully said to her: "At the behest of Your Majesty, please ask the Shen family to judge himself to apologize." β
Shen glanced at him and said coldly, "Your Majesty is disgusted with me to such an extent," she said and laughed wildly, but tears were dripping all over her face, "Self-determination?" Apologize? As soon as he knocked over the wine on his father-in-law's black wooden plate, his face turned red, and he shouted, "What am I guilty of?" What is my Shen sin? On what basis? Why?! After a while, she didn't cry anymore, she didn't make any more trouble, the tears on her cheeks dried up into tears, and she was shaking violently.
My father-in-law looked embarrassed and asked me, "This wine is very expensive, only this glass, what if it is overturned?" β
I combed the hair hanging down my cheeks, and said slowly: "I want to come to Your Majesty and don't want to see her again, the wine has been overturned, and you are all people who are used to seeing life and death, it is not easy to deal with her, find a relatively decent way to deal with her quickly, Your Majesty has a headache these two, don't ask her to continue to disturb the peace of the palace, and the father-in-law should go to your Majesty to deal with it, otherwise every time you spend here, who will serve Your Majesty?" β
The father-in-law bowed his head, an indescribable smile appeared on his face, and replied, "The slave understands." β
I let out an "um", nodded slightly, and walked out slowly.
