Chapter Eighty-Five: Extinguishing the Mouth
The letter and the poison were found under my bed, and the stolen goods were all seized, and the Dali Temple convicted me of murdering the saint on the spot, and all the people in the room turned against me except for Gonggong Li, proving that I had the intention of rebellion.
The queen smiled and grounded the two of us, saying that she would consult the emperor before making a decision.
When leaving, Concubine Li Defei left me a three-foot white silk, she said that the harem has always had only enemies, no friendly troops, and if you want to blame me, you will blame me for fighting for this favor.
Gonggong Li didn't speak, and since the queen and her party left, he has been sitting in the corner, not sad or happy.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about me, when they come over next time, you can change your confession and keep your life first."
"You really think you are my master, I still care about you......" Probably still angry that I didn't listen to his advice, Gonggong Li said to me without replying.
Many times I think about how his rotten temper got to this status, according to the normal harem rules, his way of speaking and temperament should have died a hundred and eighty times.
"Yes, yes, I'm not your master, you don't have to protect me, just put those basins on my head early tomorrow morning." Although I haven't known each other for a long time, I always feel that Gonggong Li is a good person and I don't want to bother him.
As for what happened today, as long as it is a person, it can be seen that it is framed, I think it was discussed by the queen and Concubine De, and Concubine De will release the letter and poison, and the queen will bring someone to search, and finally add the testimony of the people in the house, it is difficult for me not to die.
"Tonight at the latest."
"What's tonight at the latest?"
"At the latest, they will do it tonight, now that the emperor is not in the palace, it is their best chance to get off, if the emperor comes back, it will definitely be exposed when it is checked."
"You mean the emperor is not in the palace?" No wonder I didn't see Zhao Guangyi in such a big move this morning.
"Yes, the emperor left the palace early this morning, and he won't be able to come back until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, so they won't let you live until tomorrow morning."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the emperor left, they came on the back foot, and this speed was really fast enough.
"Aren't they afraid that the emperor will find out and blame them?"
"Since ancient times, the harem has not interfered in politics, but no one said that the previous dynasty could not interfere in the harem, do you think that the concubines in this harem are as powerless as you?" Father-in-law Li looked at me with disgust. "They are all women who are important ministers in the court, as long as the mother family is strong enough, the emperor will protect them for a lifetime, as for you, the decent is to give you a name for dying of illness or suicide, or it won't be long before the emperor will forget you, when the queen is still the queen, Concubine Li Defei is still Concubine Li De......"
How could I not understand this, it's just that I haven't lived in the harem for a long time, it's just careless.
"Since you know I don't have a way to live, why don't you run?"
"Naturally, I want to see how Mrs. can't walk on Huangquan Road."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not lonely to be accompanied by Grandpa Li, and we can quarrel as companions." I gave him a roll of the eyes.
The windows were sealed all around, and I couldn't be sure of the exact time for a while, but I could only guess that it was about 3 p.m. based on the time when I was closed.
If the queen and Concubine De really choose to do it tonight, it will definitely be past the hour, and we will have about eight or nine hours left.
Although I didn't eat lunch, the dinner was still very rich, and a whole table was set, and the palace people who delivered the meal said that it was prepared for me by Concubine De, and I hoped I wouldn't blame her.
"Is it toxic?"
"Madame laughed, how dare the slave and maid." The people in this palace had seen a big scene at a glance, and they only said a polite sentence and walked out without changing their faces.
"Father-in-law Li, did you say this dish is poisonous?"
"It shouldn't be poisonous, Concubine Li De won't be stupid enough to leave herself such a charge of poisoning her wife, besides, it should be the mother family's General Li's Mansion behind her back, they are all smart people, and Mrs. can eat with confidence."
"Then I'll be relieved." Ming takes food as the sky, and you can't be a starving ghost when you die, I picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and started to move, not to mention that this Concubine De has a good taste, and the dishes prepared are all delicious.
"Even if I want to kill you, at most I will be strangled and disguised as hanging myself." Gonggong Li suddenly came out of his mouth with such a sentence.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" I quickly swallowed the food in my mouth, and almost choked to death by Grandpa Li's words. Can't you just let me finish my meal? I wasn't strangled to death, and I was scared to death by you. ”
"It's the minions who don't think it through, Madame continues."
"Why don't you eat some?"
"Minions aren't hungry."
"You're not too scared to eat, are you?"
"Minions are timid."
Come on, you dare to say that you are timid in your sitting position.
In the early hours of the morning, the guards on duty were suddenly transferred out, and the sound sounded as if there were assassins in the palace, and everyone chased them out in the direction of the assassins' escape.
Gonggong Li said that the assassin is fake, and it is true to lure the guards away, and after a while, the people from the queen and Concubine Li De should come, let me be obedient, so that I will suffer less.
"So coincidentally?"
"Is it a coincidence? It was all planned, do you think the guards at the gate are really chasing the Assassins? They're just being bought, and they're probably watching from the sidelines, just waiting for something to happen to you, and then come and collect the body. ”
How could I not know what Gonggong Li said, the queen and Concubine Li De are so upright, it is estimated that everyone can see the routine, but I still pretended to be afraid and replied to Gonggong Li.
"So horrible?"
"Or else? I really don't know how you were the queen in the past. ”
"Didn't I care about things before, when I was an idle queen, besides, the harem is all sisters, where have I ever seen such a fight and killing."
"No wonder you're not pampered." Gonggong Li gave me a disdainful look.
You can't be favored, your whole family can't be favored, you weren't born when Li Yu spoiled me in my last life. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and quietly observed the movement outside the house.
"Here we are."
"What's coming?"
"The queen is here, and there are quite a few people with her."
Half an hour later, the queen left in a hurry with Concubine Li Defei and her party, and the remaining guards were constantly sprinkling something into the room.
In the early morning of August 20, 977, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace of the Song Kingdom, and although the guards tried desperately to prevent the fire from spreading, the burning palace was not saved and was reduced to a pile of ashes in this fire.
"Congratulations to my sister, this time, she will definitely not survive."
"The fire is so big that it's hard to find even the corpses."
"It's a shame."
"What is my sister's pity?"
"No, since my sister can sleep peacefully, then my sister will leave first."
"Well, let's go back."
Not far from the palace, a group of women were quietly leaving.
