"Bold!" The Queen Mother's face changed suddenly, "Concubine Shen, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"The concubine didn't dare to deceive the queen mother", Shu Shen said firmly, "Originally, the concubine didn't believe it when she heard about it, so she asked someone to investigate it carefully, but she found it...... Found ......"

"What did you find?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

"The Queen Mother knows that Concubine Qing has often summoned Imperial Doctor Luo these days, but Concubine Qing is healthy and has no pain."

"So what?" The Queen Mother said, "Concubine Qing wants to recuperate, it is normal to summon the imperial doctor, Shen Concubine, last time, the mourning family let you go, if you still don't repent, don't think about it easily." ”

There was no turning back from the bow, Shushen gritted her teeth and insisted: "If it is for the sake of recuperation, the concubine naturally does not dare to speculate, but every time Imperial Doctor Luo comes, there will be a young man behind him, and the concubine has found out that the person is not the attendant of the hospital, and he has known Qingfei Niangniang as early as outside the palace, and has been in constant contact all these years, and now he boldly dresses up and has a private meeting with Qingfei in the palace!" ”

"If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, she can spread the people in the Qingfei Palace to torture her, and you will know that what the concubine said is true." Shushen swore an oath, and she almost swore to the sky.

"Okay, the mourning family will send someone to investigate, if you deliberately frame you, there will be no room for you in this harem." The Queen Mother said coldly, "Fu'an." ”

"Yes." Fu'an answered, Shushen was still kneeling, and the Queen Mother didn't mean to let her get up.

Not long after, Fu'an came back and whispered a few words in the queen mother's ear.

Shu Shen saw that the queen mother's color had changed, and she was worried, and then she listened to her deep command, and passed the young concubine to see her, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that today's matter is about to be done.

Liuli's side has been discussing with Yunting almost, and these days he is looking forward to the great prospects of the future, and his mood is also very excited. When I learned that the Queen Mother had summoned, I went without much thought.

When he arrived, he found that something was wrong, and although Shushen knelt on the ground, his eyes were faintly excited when he looked at him. And the queen mother above the throne had a gloomy face and seemed to be angry.

looked at Aunt Fu'an, who was beside the Queen Mother, and shook her head gently, which one is this going to sing? Ruri was puzzled.

I heard the Queen Mother take the lead in speaking: "Concubine Qing, the mourning family has something to ask you, and you have to answer truthfully." ”

Countless thoughts flashed in Liuli's heart, but she still responded in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"These days, do you have a private meeting with a foreign man?" The Queen Mother said directly.

Liuli's heart moved, and the queen mother knew about her meeting with Bu Yunting? She opened her mouth, remembering that she had finally eased her relationship with the Queen Mother, and that although she had seen Bu Yunting privately, the two of them were indeed innocent.

Since the queen mother asked so, she caught the clue, if she was lying, she really couldn't tell it if she was exposed, and her mind was turning, and Liuli finally chose to tell the truth: "Yes, the concubine did see it." ”

"So it's true that you've known each other for a long time?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"How does the Queen Mother know?" Liuli realized that something was wrong with the development of things, and hurriedly said, "The concubine and the step boy have indeed known each other for a long time, but they are just friends, and he will help me ...... this time."

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother slapped the table angrily, "Concubine Qing, as an imperial concubine, you don't know how to check, and you have summoned foreign men many times in private, have you considered for Your Majesty's reputation?" ”

"No, the Queen Mother, listen to my explanation." Liuli was anxious, "My step boy and I are really just friends, not what you think." ”

"Yes or no", the Queen Mother said coldly, "You see a foreign man in private, it's all an indescribable thing, for the sake of royal face, the mourning family can't tolerate you, and it's ...... to come."

"Hey, no......" Liuli was anxious, why didn't the queen mother even listen to an explanation, seeing that two little eunuchs were about to come over to her.

Liuli was anxious, but she heard a familiar voice coming: "Mother and slow!" ”

Raising his eyes, it was really Zhao Mingxu who arrived in time, and Liuli had to give a thumbs up to the man in his heart, save the scene, you are the best.

"Why is the emperor here?" The Queen Mother was taken aback, after all, it was her son who suffered a loss, and the Queen Mother originally planned to dispose of Concubine Qing and then slowly appease.

Zhao Mingxu said slowly: "The queen mother misunderstood, Concubine Qing and the son of the Bushang book family met, and it was allowed by the son." ”

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother was completely stunned, "The son of the Bushang family? ”

"It's him," Zhao Mingxu said, "In the past, when the Xingping plague occurred, it was the prescription jointly developed by Bu Gongzi and Doctor Luo, and because of this, Liuli, I and Bu Gongzi got acquainted. Later, the glass made fairy jade dew water, which had a unique fragrance, which was also provided by Bu Gongzi. ”

"Is that really the case?" The Queen Mother looked at Liuli.

Liuli nodded: "That's right, the incense used by the concubines and concubines in the Rouge Pavilion over the years has been brought back by the good luck of the Bugongzi system, and the concubines have seen him and discussed the next cooperation with him." ”

"In that case, it's enough to be generous, so why bother sneaking around?" The Queen Mother said again.

It's not that your son is careful, Liuli said in his heart, and was about to speak, but he heard Zhao Mingxu speak: "It's what my son meant, summoning a foreign man is not in accordance with the rules after all, my son is afraid of being seen by someone with a heart, so he took advantage of it, and he didn't want to miss a trace." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Shushen meaningfully.

The latter immediately kowtowed and defended: "The concubine is only thinking about His Majesty, and the concubine has misunderstood." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Zhao Mingxu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "This matter is so secretive, if you don't keep an eye on Concubine Qing's movements, how can you know about it?" ”

"It's someone, it's someone who told the concubine......" Shu Shen said anxiously.

"So you believe it, and you can't wait to tell the queen mother, and add oil and vinegar to slander Concubine Qing?" Zhao Mingxu said coldly, and then turned to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, Shen Concubine is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and she has framed Concubine Qing three times and twice, will the Queen Mother still be appeased?" ”

Shushen was shocked, and walked to the feet of the Queen Mother and cried: "Queen Mother, the concubine is not hearted, please forgive the concubine again, the Queen Mother ......"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes: "The emperor decides, the mourning family is tired." ”

"Yes." Zhao Mingxu retreated, turned around and took Liuli's hand and left.

Shushen's whole body was spread on the ground and dragged out by the little eunuch.

In Biluozhai, Liuli had palpitations, looking at the man's eyes full of admiration and gratitude: "Why did you come so timely?" ”

"If I don't come in time, I'm afraid you'll suffer." Zhao Mingxu said helplessly, "Now you know it's amazing, right?" ”

"I ...... I didn't think it was that serious. Liuli whispered, "However, the Queen Mother didn't listen to my explanation at all." ”

"You've already met with him privately, it doesn't matter if it's true or not." Zhao Mingxu said in a deep voice.

Liuli silently, this damn feudal etiquette.

She quietly glanced at Zhao Mingxu's face and found that the man didn't look angry, so she cautiously asked, "Then you believe me?" ”

"If I don't believe you, why bother to save you?"

Liuli was greatly moved, and snuggled tightly in the man's arms: "You are so good." After thinking about it, he added: "I won't see him easily again in the future." ”

Zhao Mingxu slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and was very satisfied: "Good." ”

His move can be described as killing three birds with one stone, one is to use this matter to deal with Shushen and pull out the unstable factors around Liuli; The second is that the Queen Mother wronged Liuli, and she must feel guilty about her, and she will not be embarrassed by her in the future; This is the third, Zhao Mingxu recalled someone who was particularly enthusiastic last night, and smiled with satisfaction.

The will to Shushen soon came down, abolished the position, demoted to a concubine, and together with the concubine of the first emperor, sent down to the imperial tomb to sprinkle and sweep work.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Ningyi Palace, ordinary palace people rearranged errands, and henchmen like Xinyue Suyue, who were waiting closely, were disposed of.

Liuli also learned later that among the people who framed him, there were also concubines of the first emperor involved.

"Why do you want to harm me, who have no grievances with them?" Liuli was very puzzled.

"Maybe I can't see others," Zhao Mingxu said, "but don't worry, like her, there won't be a second one." "Killing chickens and police monkeys, now the people in Yongfu Palace are honest.

Zhao Mingxu also strengthened the supervision of these people, and all the palace people who served him were changed.

"Actually, it's quite pitiful to think about them", Liuli suddenly said, "Can't you let them out of the palace?" ”

"They are all the concubines of the first emperor, how can they be released from the palace?" Zhao Mingxu shook his head, "Even if they are released, how will they live outside the palace?" ”

"Don't you have a family?" Liuli asked again, "Didn't you say that you can take it out of the palace and go to Rongyang?" ”

"That gave birth to a son", Zhao Mingxu said, and the son of the first emperor is only the original crown prince, and now the king of Da Xian.

"What about the one who gave birth to a daughter?" Liuli said, "If the daughter and her husband's family are willing to take people out to be raised, can they be allowed to leave the palace?" ”

This Zhao Mingxu had never thought about it, so he hesitated.

Liuli continued: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, although everyone can't have a bad heart, but if I am restrained like this for a lifetime, I will also go crazy." Instead of this, it is better to give them a grace, and let them all go home, share the joy of family, and not think about harming others all day long. ”

Zhao Mingxu felt that what Liuli said also made some sense: "But what if there are no children and no daughters? ”

"Then let their family take them back", Liuli said, "If you don't even have relatives", Liuli thought about it, "Then give them some silver taels, let them fend for themselves, maybe they can meet their confidants and marry again, it's better than being trapped in this palace." ”

Zhao Mingxu laughed: "It barely works to ask my daughter to take her back, but the subsequent statement is a bit nonsense, no matter how they are the concubines of the first emperor, how can they remarry?" ”

"Of course it's not blatantly married", Liuli said, "If you are looking for a name, just say that the person is dead, and then change your identity and leave the palace, isn't it just it?" ”

"How can it be so light as you say", Zhao Mingxu shook his head.

Liuli became more and more energetic: "How do you know if you don't try?" If you don't believe it, let's ask, they definitely don't want to. ”

"Even if they wanted to, the queen mother would not agree"

Liuli frowned and thought for a moment, "Why don't I go and say try?" ”

"You're going?" Zhao Mingxu raised his eyebrows.

Liuli nodded: "Didn't you say that the queen mother felt a little guilty about me?" And this matter is involved in the concubines of the first emperor, I will ask the queen mother. ”

Zhao Mingxu saw that she was so persistent, so he didn't stop it: "Okay, if the queen mother agrees, I will help you." ”

"It's a deal."

Liuli naturally wouldn't say this to Zhao Mingxu directly, she said it directly to the Queen Mother, she had a step-by-step idea, step by step, and first proposed that those who have a family and daughter can be taken out to be raised.

The Queen Mother first felt that this matter was not feasible, but she couldn't stop Liuli's three-inch incorruptible tongue, plus she felt guilty about Liuli and was willing to listen to her in detail.

And after listening to it a lot, I actually felt that there was some truth, and Liuli said that the second half of those women's lives were miserable, which moved the heart of the Queen Mother, a poor and weak person, so she agreed to Liuli's request.

Zhao Mingxu also really spoke, and after the queen mother nodded, she made a will, announcing that the first emperor's concubine, if she has a daughter or family, is willing to take people back, and she can ask for a decree.

As soon as this decree was made, those who really doted on their daughters or felt sorry for their mothers were grateful, and they asked for the decree one after another. And the concubines of Yongfu Middle School got the news, and they thanked Zhao Mingxu for their kindness. Even the princes of the clan praised His Majesty's benevolence.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingxu said that the ideas were all made by the queen mother and the green concubine, and for a while, the relatives of the clan, the concubines of the first emperor, and the princes and nobles praised the queen mother constantly, and even with it, the perception of Liuli, the folk concubine, was much better.

Striking while the iron was hot, Liuli put forward his second idea, thinking that with the success of the first, the Queen Mother would also respond, but he didn't think about it but was resolutely opposed.

even scolded her for messing around.

Liuli couldn't, so she had to stop mentioning it for the time being, after all, the relationship that had just eased up couldn't be destroyed again because of this matter.

However, Liuli didn't give up in her heart, the future is long, and she still has time and opportunities.

The Spring Festival of the first year of Tianxiang, it passed in a sound of praise, after the New Year, Bu Yunting left Beijing to return to Shudi, a few days, Zhou Xiaoshu also went south, continued to expand the business of Rouge Pavilion and Song Ji Restaurant.

The Imperial Division is busy again, and without those annoying people and things, Liuli is living smoothly, seeing the spring of the second year of Tianxiang quietly coming, the previous dynasty is getting busier and busier, because Zhao Mingxu is about to usher in the first spring since he ascended the throne.
