In the Yonghe Palace, He and the concubines sat together, but the scene in the Changxia Hall haunted He's heart for a long time.

Gao saw that He's face was gloomy, and he knew that it must be because of Zheng's reason, so he was relieved: "Zuo Zhaoyi is kind, he must be worried about Zheng Concubine, since His Majesty has been ordered by the imperial doctor to go to the doctor to heal in person, then Zheng Concubine will be safe and sound, we just wait for the news." ”

He bowed his head slightly, and said, "I only feel pitiful when I look at Concubine Zheng's crazy state." ”

Gao sighed with emotion: "Life and death are in the sky, Zheng Concubine should have this catastrophe, Zuo Zhaoyi and his concubine chanted and prayed for the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless Zheng Concubine." ”

He folded his hands and prayed: "May the Buddha and Bodhisattva bless it, and Concubine Zheng can eliminate disasters and take refuge and return to normal." ”

Gao sighed in his heart, everyone in this deep palace uses each other and secretly calculates with each other, but this Zuo Zhaoyi is not half distracted by the city government and treats people sincerely, which is really commendable.

While the two were talking, Wang Shi stepped inside. After saluting the two, Wang said: "Zuo Zhaoyi, Gao Concubine, there is news from Changxia Palace, Your Majesty has stripped Zheng Concubine of her title and demoted her to a concubine. ”

The two were shocked when they heard this, and He hurriedly asked Wang: "Do you know why?" ”

Yuan Hong didn't want He to know about the White Horse Temple, so no one knew why the Zheng family was abolished.

Wang replied: "The servant who came to deliver the message did not tell the reason, but only said that His Majesty asked the people in the harem to tell him, and the slave inquired about the situation of the Zheng family. ”

Gao sighed lightly and said, "The Zheng family was born in a famous family, and his heart is extremely high on weekdays, so he never thought that he would end up like this. ”

He Wenyan's eyes were already shining: "Concubine Zheng is already like this, why does Your Majesty bother to abolish her title again... Zi Yi is still in infancy, if something happens to Concubine Zheng, what should Zi Yi do? ”

Wang said: "The slave also asked the servant by the way, and said that His Majesty handed over the Seven Princes to You Zhaoyi to raise. ”

After a pause, Wang continued: "Zuo Zhaoyi, since Your Majesty has made a will, you can no longer call Zheng Concubine Zheng. ”

He bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you Sister-in-law Wang for mentioning it, I wrote it down." Ziyi lives with his mother and Youzhaoyi, and it is also a good choice for Ziyi to be raised by Youzhaoyi. ”

Gao has been in the palace for many years, and although he doesn't know what Li is doing, he also understands that he is not good. Now that the Zheng family suddenly suffered an accident, and the emperor raised his son under the knees of the Li family, the Gao family suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The Zheng family also got the news that the Zheng family was deposed, and Zheng Yi, the father of the Zheng family, and the eldest son Zheng Yi panicked.

Mrs. Li's face was full of tears, and she sobbed: "Lord, how could Shu'er be so dignified and crazy? The concubine is only Shu'er, this is a daughter, the lord, you should think of ways to save Shu'er. ”

Zheng Yi's face was solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty's will only mentions that Shu'er committed the crime of great disrespect and stripped her title and abolished herself as a commoner, but it never mentioned what happened to Shu'er. If you rashly enter Beijing to investigate and provoke the anger of the Dragon Court, it will be a disaster of destruction. ”

Li Shi also did not relent, and said: "If you hadn't been dedicated to climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix to send Shu'er to Pingcheng, why would you have today's worries!" ”

Zheng Yi said with a stunned face: "The first empress dowager recruited the daughter of the famous Han family for Her Majesty, and Shu'er is at the right age, how can this be controlled by ordinary people?" ”

Zheng Yi saw that his parents were in trouble, and hurriedly approached to dissuade Li: "Mother, my father was also for my sister's long-term plan, who would have thought that there would be today's thing?" Fortunately, His Majesty did not condemn the clansmen when he cared about the Seven Princes, and the son should discuss with his father to find a good plan in the long run. ”

Li Shi wiped his tears with a brocade and said: "Mother is a son, a noble son is a mother, and the seventh prince is young. ”

Zheng Yi said: "Now the only person in the family who can enter the palace to listen to the news is Buck'er, and you will leave the book in Buck'er, so that he can quickly enter the palace to investigate..."

Right Zhaoyi Li has nothing to do, since Yuan Hong raised Yuan Yi under his knees, Li can be regarded as a good person.

On this day, when the Li family was teasing Yuan Yi in the inner hall, the maid Hongyu came inside. When he saluted the Li family, Hongyu said: "Right Zhaoyi, the right son of the prince's mansion sent a letter." ”

Li Shi only blindly teased Yuan Yi, and never looked up: "Huandan, let's see what is written in the letter." ”

Hearing this, Huan Dan took the letter in Hongyu's hand, and after reading the letter, Huan Dan approached and said: "Right Zhaoyi, right son, please show that you want to enter the palace to visit the Zheng family and the Seven Princes." ”

The Li family handed over Yuan Yi to the nurse on the side, and motioned for them to step back, before he spoke: "The Zheng family is now crazy and crazy all day long, and the right son is the prince and concubine, if I am accidentally injured by it, wouldn't it be my fault?" Spread the word to the right son, but it is His Majesty's will not be visited. ”

Huan Danbian put away the letterhead, and said: "Zuo Zhaoyi, the right son is the closest relative of the Zheng family, and when he was in the palace in Yecheng, he had a master-apprentice relationship with Zuo Zhaoyi. ”

When he was in the palace in Yecheng, Zheng Qiao peeked at the private affairs of himself and Huandan, at this time, Huandan hinted that Li's heart was tight, and after a while, Li said to Hongyu: "It is reasonable for the right son to care about Zheng, and I and Zheng have also been sisters, so I will meet her for a while." ”

After a pause, Li instructed Hongyu again: "The Zheng family is crazy now, I am afraid that it will hurt the right son, so you went back to the right son and asked him to meet in Hualin Garden, and I will first tell him about Zheng's illness." ”

This Hualin Garden is located on the northeast side of the palace, when the Luoyang Palace was built, Yuan Hong instructed Li Chong to use this garden to connect the palace with the prince's mansion, so that the prince can share the beautiful scenery in the garden.

The Li family did not want Zheng Qiao to enter the palace and have branches, so he asked him to meet Zheng Qiao in Hualin Garden, so that he could avoid the eyes and ears of everyone in the palace without entering the palace.

In the Wenyu Pavilion of Hualin Garden, Li sat on the couch.

Zheng Qiao was led in by Huandan, and when he saluted the Li family, Zheng Qiao stood on one side.

Li's face was full of smiles and said: "I haven't seen the right child for two months, and now the right child is becoming more and more bright and moving." ”

Zheng Qiao knew that Li was a person with a honey-bellied sword since that day when he saw Li and Huan Dan go to the ladder, and when Li finished speaking, Zheng Qiao only bowed his head and said: "Right Zhaoyi has a good reputation... The concubine only wants to visit her aunt and the seventh prince in the palace, I don't know why you Zhaoyi wants the concubine to meet here? ”

Li knew that Zheng Qiao didn't like him, but he still made an affectionate appearance, and said: "The right sister once lived with my palace, and Zheng Amei is the same sister as me, and now Zheng Amei has suffered an accident, I am afraid that the right son will be sad to see it, so I asked you to come here to meet." ”

Zheng Qiao said: "My aunt is a concubine's closest relative, even if she is crazy and out of shape, the concubine is not afraid. ”

Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "The right son is now the prince and concubine, you should know how to protect yourself, if the right son encounters an accident, how can I suffer from the sin?" ”

Zheng Qiao looked at the Li family and said, "Even if my aunt suffered an accident, the concubine doesn't believe that my aunt will hurt the concubine." ”

Huan Dan said on the side: "You don't know the right son, now even the cry of the Seventh Prince can make your aunt crazy. ”

Zheng Qiao received the letter from his father's family, although he knew that his aunt was now crazy, but he never thought it would be so serious, and he was even more eager to see Zheng's family to find out.

Looking at the Li family, Zheng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Right Zhaoyi, you have lived in the same palace with your aunt for many years, you can allow your concubine to visit your aunt because of the relationship between your aunt and you in the past." ”

How could the Li family let go of his consent, so he said: "The right son doesn't know, Zheng Amei messed up her mind that day, and her mouth was crazy, and His Majesty found out that she framed Zuo Zhaoyi, so Your Majesty has an edict to me, except for the imperial doctor, the rest of the people are not allowed to visit. ”

How could Zheng Qiao believe Li's words, so he said: "Although my aunt is jealous of Zuo Zhaoyi, she will not frame Zuo Zhaoyi without the city's heart. ”

After a pause with just a flick of his fingers, Zheng Qiao blurted out: "It must be you, it was you who framed Zuo Zhaoyi and failed to frame Zuo Zhaoyi and blamed your aunt!" ”

Li Shi's face sank when he came, and said sharply: "The right son is talking nonsense!" The evidence that your aunt framed Zuo Zhaoyi is conclusive, you don't want to spew blood! ”

Zheng Qiao snorted coldly and said, "When you deliberately fell into the water on the shore of Yunlan Lake and blamed the queen, even the queen dared to frame you, not to mention that your aunt is just a little concubine?" ”

Li Shi no longer concealed it at this time, and sneered: "Sure enough, the person under my window that day was you!" How can you resentfully your aunt for her many unrighteous deeds? ”

Seeing Li's words, Zheng Qiao even thought that he had framed Zheng, Zheng Qiao said: "You are now in power and have been promoted to the right Zhaoyi by Your Majesty, why are you still not satisfied?" Why did you hurt your aunt so much? ”

Li shouted: "Don't be presumptuous with your right son, I am Your Majesty's Right Zhaoyi and the prince's mother, what kind of crime should you be guilty of slandering!" ”

Zheng Qiao didn't let go, and said: "If it weren't for Gu Nian's aunt living in the same palace with you, how could your despicable things be hidden today!" It is a great crime to frame the queen, and the concubine will go to the queen and bring you to justice. ”

When the Li family heard this, they didn't panic at all, and only said coldly: "If you want your Zheng family to be ruined, then just go to the queen, I won't stop you." ”

Zheng Qiao said: "You didn't hurt my aunt enough, and you still want to harm my Zheng clan?" You're a fool! ”

Li sneered and said, "Your Ah Weng and your father are master craftsmen, and your Majesty ordered them to repair Luoyang Palace when your father and brother spent a lot of money on personal fraud. According to my Great Wei Law, anyone who engages in fraud for personal gain should be punished with a trip to the abyss, and those who are more than fifteen in the clan will be exiled, and the right son can give it a try? ”

Hearing Li's words, Zheng Qiao didn't believe it: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? I, the Zheng family, are also members of the prestigious family, so why do I need to do such a perverted thing! ”

Since Li Chong decided to help the Li family, he knew all about the personnel of the DPRK and China. Li Chong supervised the renovation of Luoyang Palace, and Zheng Yi's father and son knew everything they did. Mrs. Li Chongchang's mother's family is also a side branch of the Zheng family, and her two daughters also married into the Zheng family, so they hid the matter and did not report it, never thinking that it would become a bargaining chip for the Li family to control the Zheng family.

Li Shi said coldly: "If you don't believe it, you can leave the book to ask you Ah Weng and your father, but at that time, you don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship." ”

Zheng Qiao was young after all, and he was confused when he heard the words, and he was speechless for a while.

Li Shi grinned, and then said: "The person who made Zheng Amei look like this is Zuo Zhaoyi, all because of his charm to the king..."
