078 Finale (I)
Jinling.
After returning here again after a few months, Shen Li felt a sense that things were wrong with people.
Obviously, this is the place where she was born and raised, but when she sees it again, except for sighing at the majesty of the city wall, she can't give birth to other thoughts.
She went back to Jinling, but she didn't hide it, and within half a day, all kinds of worship things were sent into the Hou Mansion like flowing water, among which there were many sincere greetings, but there was no shortage of pleasing villains.
Shen Li pinched the thick stack of gift lists, and after yawning sleepily, she asked Yan Shan to return the gift according to the previous regulations, and the right to deal with it.
Yan Shan has long been handy in dealing with these things, but after taking care of everything in the afternoon, Baba went back to Shen Li's side to stay: "This time the county lord has been away for a long time, and next time I can't leave the slave and maid here." ”
"The place I'm going to is a bit dangerous, what if something happens if you go?" Shen Li smiled and patted her hand, "But aren't I back now?" ”
"The county lord says this every time, but every time he goes out, he still doesn't take a slave with him." Yan Shan puffed out her cheeks and complained, "By the way, the county lord, these days, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been living in the princess's mansion and rarely comes back, should you also go to the princess's mansion to greet the eldest princess." ”
"She is my mother, and I, as a daughter, have come back from a long trip, so I should go to ask for peace." Shen Li yawned as she spoke, leaned her face against the pillow, and rubbed it, "Look at me I'm so sleepy today, you send someone to talk to your mother, just say that you are not filial to Shen Li, and Ming'er will go to bear the guilt in the morning." ”
Yan Shan got up and hugged the thin blanket and put it on her body.
"County Lord, in the East Palace today, someone also handed out an invitation." Yan Shan said softly.
"Who?" Shen Li asked with his eyes closed.
"It's Shen Liangdi."
Shen Li half-opened her eyes and sneered: "She? Just ignore it, in the future, you can take the invitations she sent to the kitchen and burn them. ”
"Lest you feel upset when you see it."
Yan Shan said: "When the county lord goes out, it seems that he has a deep grudge against Shen Liangdi? ”
"I don't deal with her much when I'm young, and I have a lot of grievances, which is reasonable." Shen Li continued to close her eyes again, "Okay, I'm tired, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
But in the end, she didn't wait for tomorrow, in the middle of the night, a disciple sneaked in through the window in the middle of the night and dragged her awake from her dream.
Shen Lisheng looked at Wei Yan with no love, and wanted to turn over and cover his head and continue to sleep, but the man didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all, so he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and pulled her up: "Nuan Nuan, don't sleep!" ”
After Shen Li was kicked unbearably by the noise, she sat up with the futon in her arms, and now her eyes have regained a little clarity, she rubbed her eyebrows: "Your Royal Highness, what's the matter, can't you talk about it Ming'er?" Do you have to disturb your dreams in the middle of the night? Who did you say you learned this virtue from? ”
She complained, but she didn't let sleepiness take her brain, she reached out and rubbed it beside the bed, and with one hand lifted the curtain and hung it with a golden hook, without the cover of the curtain, the coldness spread little by little.
It made her sober a little more.
Waiting for a complete recovery, she just looked at Wei Yan, but he hadn't seen him for a few months, he had lost weight for a long time compared to when he left before, and there were bruises under his eyes, looking at that appearance, he hadn't slept well for several days.
Shen Li felt that he deserved it, but on the other hand, he was a little unbearable.
"Say, what?"
"Weiyu, you're at war with me."
"Cousin, I'm just a woman's family, raised in the boudoir, I don't have much knowledge, you tell me that it is completely unnecessary for you to start a war with the prince, after all, even if my hand is stretched out, it is impossible to reach the court." Shen Li yawned, "Besides, from the moment you want to compete with him for that position, the two of you will have to fight each other sooner or later." ”
"In that case, what is the difference between the current confrontation and the future confrontation?"
Wei Yan was also angry, and he slapped his palm on her arm: "What kind of virtuous and virtuous lady are you pretending to be with me now, I don't believe that you will have no power in the court." ”
"It's true." Shen Li replied weakly, "My mother said that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, I originally installed people in the Hanlin Academy, but I have long been made an excuse by my mother, either dismissed or exiled." ”
"Where are you going for me to find you somebody now? Aren't you embarrassed for me? ”
"Besides, you know a few people I know, but do you think that if you are against the prince, will Cousin Su help you?" Shen Li shook his head, "Even if I come forward to persuade me, it's good not to be beaten out by them." ”
"Don't forget, the Su family is the prince's mother, you are not related to the Su family, why should people help you."
"Okay, it's not an overnight affair, you have to discuss everything with your staff." Shen Li said, "The crown prince has been in power for more than ten years, and he has never made a mistake, you still want to bring him down, but it's not that easy?" ”
"Unless...... Shen Li tilted his head and smiled at him, "force the palace." ”
"If you kill your father and the emperor together, maybe your son will succeed, but in the future, you will have to bear the charge of killing your father and brother." Shen Li said softly, "Is it difficult, are you willing?" ”
Wei Yan shook his head silently.
Even if he is desperate, he does not want to be charged with killing his father and brother.
His father really doted on him and loved him, and his brother used to take care of him as a younger brother.
It seems that he is the only one, so wolf-hearted.
He was ashamed.
Every time he dreams back in the middle of the night, he thinks of the interesting things of his youth, and he can't help but ask himself, how did he and his brother get to this point?
Although his brother is suspicious and ruthless, he has always been like a day for ten years.
Seeing Wei Yan's guilt, Shen Li suddenly became vigilant, and she kicked him through the futon: "How is Ah Qing now?" When I came back, I heard that the crown princess had tortured her? ”
"Hmm." mentioned Shen Qing, and he immediately remembered the scene of that day.
In the full house covered with broken porcelain pieces, the girl he had petted in the palm of his hand when he was young knelt on the broken porcelain pieces, step by step, inch by inch, and those porcelain pieces were all stained with the blood of his beloved girl.
"Seriously?" Shen Li was concerned.
"The imperial doctor said...... Wei Yan's eyes dimmed, "I'm afraid this life will be wasted." ”
"She is such a strong girl, she was framed and lost her children, and now even her legs and feet are useless, you don't know how Ah Qing has come these days." Wei Yan closed his eyes in pain, "You all blame me." ”
"If it weren't for my lack of ability, why would I let Ah Qing be bullied so far."
"And I, as the father of my child, can't do anything."
"Nuan Nuan, do you say it's just a waste?"
Shen Li leaned over, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him softly, "You have done a good job." ”
Because of Wei Yan's interruption, Shen Li lost his sleepiness in the second half of the night.
She simply picked up a book, held the lamp, and saw the dawn.
The sky will be bright.
After having breakfast in the mansion, she changed her clothes and went to the princess's mansion to greet her mother.
When she went, Wei Qing hadn't gotten up yet. She was bored, so she jumped into the study, and continued to rummage through the scrolls, ready to pick a volume, take a look at it if she was interested, and wait for Wei Qing to wake up.
This is Wei Qing's study.
So the books were very miscellaneous, there were all kinds of books, and she effortlessly pulled out an idle book from a pile of military books, wrapped it in a big bag, and lay down directly on the soft collapse.
In front of her was an incense burner, and the incense burned in it had a calming effect, and after looking at it for a while, she felt drowsy.
Shen Li is not a person who has wronged herself, and when she was about to turn over and continue to sleep in obedience, a letter sandwiched in the book fell lightly.
The place where it fell, impartial, smashed right on her face.
The cold letter was pasted on her face, and then slowly slid down, and that little bit of coolness woke her up in an instant.
Shen Li grabbed the letter, thought about it, and got up from the couch and opened it.
On the snow-white paper, there was vermilion handwriting, and there was only a few sentences on it-
Qing'er, what should anyone do if they covet the throne of a brother?
What should I do?
I'm afraid that with her mother's temperament, she will only reply with two words.
——
Kill it.
Shen Li thought about the letter for a long time, and finally folded it again and stuffed it back into the envelope.
Quan Dang himself didn't see anything.
"County Lord." The maid rolled up the curtain and walked in, "The princess is awake and calls you over." ”
Shen Li thought that the maid had woken up from her mouth, and it was Wei Qing who had finished grooming and sat there gracefully to summon her.
When she entered, she saw her mother wrapped in a futon and curled up on the bed, yawning sleepily, beckoning: "Come here." ”
Shen Li walked over, squatted down in front of her resignedly, and a hot hand unceremoniously touched it, grabbing her little face: "Dead girl, do you still know to come back?" Are you trying to me off? ”
"How? Where am I willing to be angry with my mother. Shen Li obediently coquettish.
"Stinky girl." Wei Qing felt that the hand felt too good, so she couldn't help but pinch it again, and then she raised her chin with a strange hand, and after carefully examining it left and right, she said, "Strange, when you go out and come back in the past, you always have to lose weight, it takes a long time for your mother to raise you to be white and fat, why do you go out this time, I feel that you have to be fatter than before." ”
This was an unintentional sentence, but Shen Li's heart trembled in fright.
She can't say that she's pregnant, right?
She could only coax: "Maybe life is a little more moist." ”
"You're more than moisturized." Wei Qing sighed, and then twisted it again, "It feels so good." ”
"For my mother, I said, I should have raised you so white and fat a long time ago."
Shen Li endured it, and finally couldn't bear to reach out and brush off the hand she screwed on her face: "Mother, since my daughter has already asked for peace......
"Stop." Wei Qing smiled and stretched out his finger to her lips, "You finally came back, of course you have to accompany your mother to eat, where do you want to run?" ”
"With such a big person, why is his temperament getting wilder and wilder?" Wei Qing said, his eyes lit up suddenly, he pulled Shen Li, and asked excitedly, "You don't really have a wild man outside, do you?" ”
Shen Li looked at it and wanted to admit it.
Not only did she have wild men outside, but she even had wild men's children. For a while, Shen Li's mood was more or less complicated.
She stretched out her hand and helped the person up: "Mother, it's not early, let's go to dinner." ”
Coming back from the princess's mansion, Shen Li was physically and mentally exhausted.
Although she knew that there were a lot of ways for her mother to toss people, she didn't expect to say so much, and even break the casserole to ask in the end.
Shen Li stretched out his hand and rested on his stomach and crossed his legs on the Luohan bed.
Yan Shan brought a bowl of soup, opened her eyes excitedly and smiled: "County Lord, try it." ”
"Good work." Shen Li took it and pressed it on the small table in front of him, "Where are the Gu Liquor and Wen Mo?" ”
"Is the county lord going to see them again?" Yan Shan said, and there was a small loss in her voice that could not be hidden.
"Yes, let them in."
"Okay." Yan Shan nodded obediently, and then admonished, "Then the county lord can remember to drink soup." ”
Shen Li's gaze fell straight on the soup noodles.
What you look at is indeed full of color, flavor and taste, and it is also very attractive.
"Master." Hear the end of the voice and wake up the person who is in deep thought.
Shen Li answered and turned his head: "At the end of the day, will you prescribe fetal pills?" ”
Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, and with some embarrassment, he clenched his hand into a fist and pressed it against the corner of his mouth: "That master, although I am a doctor, I am not a good doctor, and I am not very good at this." ”
"I think so, you go and help me find a trustworthy doctor, if you can't find it, go to the Wen family and ask one to come back." Shen Li said, thinking for a while, "Picturesque, are you still waiting for her lover in Chang'an?" ”
"There's nothing to say about it, girl, don't say that." Gu Jiu said, "My subordinates have some things here, and I want to discuss them with the girl." ”
"Then you go find it first." Shen Li said, resting his hand on the table, but pushed the bowl of soup in front of him in front of them, "You guys drink it, Yan Shan boiled it, since I was happy, I don't like to eat these greasy ones very much." ”
Wen Mo didn't think about it, he directly picked up the bowl of soup, raised his head and drank it all, and at the end, he said: "Miss Yanshan's craftsmanship is indeed excellent, but it's a pity that this girl will only cook for you on weekdays." ”
With that, he smiled and saluted and left.
"What's the matter?" Shen Li turned his head and glanced at Gu Jiu, "Don't stand and talk to me, I'm still quite tired with my neck up." ”
Gu Jiu responded and sat down opposite her: "Don't you want to know, how about the puddle of water you stirred?" ”
"It's not the way it used to be, it's definitely dirty." Shen Li said with a flat face, there was no expectation, and naturally there was no half of eagerness to know the result of their end.
Gu Jiu showed a little understanding, he said: "Now the crown princess is about to go crazy, and her temperament is getting more and more irritable day by day, thinking that the prince's patience with both the princess and the Tang family has reached a limit. ”
"Crazy?" Shen Li smiled, "It seems that the effect of that medicine has arrived, isn't it time for us to close the net?" ”
Gu Jiu said again: "Doesn't the girl care about Concubine Lin?" ”
"She has nothing to care about, it's just that she was unintentionally pulled into the water by me, a poor person, although she is also an insider." Shen Li blinked, "But it's still pitiful." ”
"The girl seems to be very ...... to Concubine Lin Pity? Gu Jiu pondered the words, and after saying them, he felt that it was not quite right.
Can a girl have any pity for another?
"Since you said her, then tell me how she is now? Is it smooth sailing in the Nanwang Mansion? ”
"Girl, are you sure you're not talking about mockery? My subordinates remember to tell you that Concubine Lin's murder of Shen Liangdi was exposed, and she was reprimanded by the prince, and now she is hanging in the backyard as an ornament. Gu Jiu said, "But a few days ago, this side concubine and the crown princess got on the line, but it is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
"It's all in such a situation, if you don't know how to fight back, it's stupid." After Shen Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said, "Okay, Lin Xian's side, we don't have to worry about it, anyway, it's just a useless idler." ”
"I wanted to use her to contain Wei Yan, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be of much use, I just hope that Wei Yan can still miss a little affection when he was young, and he really took the girl who saved her at that time very seriously."
Shen Li looked sad: "By the way, Yaohua?" ”
"I heard that Miss Yaohua is very favored by the crown princess, and now she can be regarded as her right-hand man."
"By arrangement, I want to meet Yaohua." Shen Li opened his eyes and thought for a while, "By the way, bring that child from Xingchen." ”
"Yes."
The action of selling wine is very fast.
Perhaps in order to prevent long nights and dreams, waiting for the second half of the night, Gu Jiu entered the palace to kidnap Yaohua, and sent someone to bring Xingchen over, so that he could stand under the porch in a jacket.
He couldn't see what was going on, but they could see the people and things in the courtyard.
Yaohua was still a little drowsy, but when her eyes touched the weak boy standing under the porch, the whole person pounced on it at once, and she couldn't wait to stick her face on the window paper, wear it out from here, and have a good intimacy with the boy.
That's her, the child she gave birth to in October.
"Enough of that?" Shen Li's smiling voice sounded from behind her.
"County Lord." Yaohua looked back at her with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.
Shen Li smiled and put his hand on her shoulder, stuffing a cup of hot tea into her hand: "This time it was my guard who was reckless, I hope it didn't scare Miss Yaohua." ”
"He ......"
"Yaohua." Shen Li smiled slightly, "What do you want to do?" Have you forgotten what you promised me? Or do you think that the words between us can make the stars listen? ”
Yaohua cried and shook her head, but her eyes were always glued to the boy, and she couldn't move half an inch.
"Since you know, then I'll be honest about it." Shen Li looked at her with a gentle smile, "This time things are too dangerous, and I'm a person who doesn't want to face any danger." ”
"In other words, this time, you and your son can only live one."
Yaohua's lips squirmed up and down, and finally closed her eyes crying: "In my life, I have tasted everything, but Xingchen is still young, he can't go like this." ”
"Don't worry, promise you something, and I will do it." Shen Li touched her cheek pityingly, "Yaohua, don't blame me, because in the East Palace, you are the only one, and I have the best to handle it." ”
Yaohua raised her head from the palm of her hand, tears continued to flow down her cheeks, and she shook her head: "I don't blame you, I only blame myself." ”
"County Lord, I still want to thank you."
"Without you, Xingchen wouldn't be able to return to his father, he's just a minion."
"Don't worry, now that General Mo is flying and soaring, and Xingchen is with him, that is his eldest son, and he doesn't have to be held hostage by others, just like you."
A little light appeared in Yaohua's eyes, and she looked at it, looking eagerly: "What does the county lord need Yaohua to do?" ”
