Chapter 369: Whose Daughter
The sun outside the hall was extremely bright, as warm as the summer days of previous years, and Li Ge Lao was still wearing spring clothes, but he didn't feel hot at all.
He seems to be old, really old.
He remembered the emperor's ruthless words in the Qianqing Palace.
"Li Changzai instructed Cui Shao to poison Wan Concubine, and the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. Because she was ugly in the harem, and because she was born in the Li Mansion, I gave Li Ge a face and did not deal with Li Changzai publicly. Let Li Changzai go to the cold palace to be the companion of the queen and the queen, and it can be regarded as atonement for her sins. ”
He let out a long sigh.
"Yushen, Li Changzai is gone, and our Li family has no power in the harem at all. The old man's grandson, the second prince, is also completely alienated from us......"
Ji Yushen heard the unwillingness from his words.
He said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, the emperor is already dissatisfied with you about Li Shen. Now that there is another incident of Li Changzai, if the emperor wants to accuse you of having no way to educate, you will not be able to get rid of it. Now that he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, the emperor is already very glad that he is not implicated in the Li Mansion, and he must not act rashly. ”
Why didn't Li Ge understand this truth?
He turned his head and looked at Ji Yushen, "The old man understands, it's just ...... It's just that our Li family can't find a suitable person to send to the palace anymore. The female dependents of those distant relatives are suitable to be sent to the palace, and their status is far inferior to Li Changzai, let alone the virtuous concubine of the year! ”
When such a thing happened, Li Ge Lao didn't first think that his niece was going to be sent to the cold palace to live the life of the living dead, but thought about who to replace Li Changzai.
Just as the Li family was gone, Li Ge Lao couldn't care about being sad, but was anxious to send Li Changzai to the palace.
In the eyes of this old man, everything is only a position of power and interests, and there is no family affection.
Ji Yushen smiled faintly, "Father-in-law, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of being burned by firewood." As long as we firmly grasp the power of the court, are we still worried that there is no one in the harem? ”
Elder Li Ge looked back at him, saw the confident smile on his face, and nodded slightly.
……
"Brother, brother, think of a way!"
Within two days, the news that Li Changzai had been sent to the cold palace for angering the emperor came out, and Li Changzai's father hurried to the Li Mansion to find Li Gelao.
To his surprise, Li Ge Lao actually closed the door and disappeared, and he couldn't even find Ji Yushen.
In a hurry, he had no choice but to go to Li Ziyue, "Second niece, you must find your father and let him think of a way." How could Yun'er be angry with the emperor and be sent to the cold palace? How could it be so sudden? Something must have happened, how could your father completely stay out of the way? At the beginning, he had to let Yun'er enter the palace! ”
His voice was too loud, Li Ziyue could bear it, but Li Qianyue, who was also in the house, couldn't stand it anymore, and was so frightened that he cried.
Li Changzai's father heard the child's cry, and became more and more sour, "If Yun'er hadn't entered the palace, maybe I would have such a grandson now." Your father is so ruthless, he found a good match for his daughter, but he pushed my daughter into the fire pit in the palace! ”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, Li Ziyue hurriedly walked to the nurse's side and hugged the child tightly in her arms, lest Li Changzai's father hurt Li Qianyue in a moment of anger.
While she sent people to find Li Ge Lao and Ji Yushen, she comforted him softly, "Second uncle, second uncle, don't worry about it first." I don't know about Yun'er, a woman in a deep house, and everything will not be known until my father and husband come back. Fortunately, Yun'er is just entering the cold palace for the time being, and her life is worry-free, so don't worry about the second uncle. ”
"Can I not be in a hurry?"
He stood up angrily, "What did your father say when he sent Yun'er into the palace?" said that the eldest niece used to be a concubine, and Yun'er entered the palace to take over the eldest niece's class, at least she could be crowned a concubine, and it was common for her to be a concubine and a concubine in the future. No matter how much the emperor is, he will look at his face as the first assistant, but now? It's not that you hit the cold palace when you enter the cold palace, why didn't you give any face? ”
He felt that he had been deceived by Li Ge Lao and sent his own daughter out. Knowing this, he would rather not covet those riches, but also keep his daughter.
Li Ziyue hugged Li Qianyue and took two steps back, slowly distancing herself from him.
And he seemed to sense something, and suddenly rushed towards Li Ziyue.
"Li Yihe!"
The voice of Li Ge's old vicissitudes came from the courtyard, and he shouted loudly, so frightened that Li Yihe hurriedly retracted his hand.
Li Ziyue took the opportunity to walk into the courtyard and hid behind Ji Yushen with Li Qianyue in her arms, lest the child make a mistake.
Li Ge Lao leaned on a dragon's head cane and was furious, "What do you want to do to my grandson?" Haven't I treated you and Yun'er well enough? Yun'er didn't do those things herself, and she still had to ask someone to grab the handle, so how could I help him? ”
Li Yihe was stunned, "What did she do?" ”
Elder Li Ge was also angry, and the two old brothers stared at each other, both feeling that it was each other's fault.
Ji Yushen stepped forward and said, "Second uncle, don't blame your father-in-law. This matter is indeed not his father-in-law's problem, he has tried his best to intercede, otherwise Li Changzai's fate will not only be in the cold palace. What she committed was the great sin of poisoning her concubines. ”
"What poisons concubines? Who in the palace is dead? ”
Li Yihe subconsciously blurted out, and Li Ge said angrily: "You're just looking forward to someone dying, aren't you?" If someone else died, it would be fine, but it was the concubine last time! Su Qing relied on himself to be the emperor's favorite minister, and even the queen was brought down by his joint ministers, not to mention that he was always there? ”
Li Yihe was puzzled, "Our family Yun'er poisoned Wan Concubine?" Impossible, Yun'er never told me about it, how is this possible? It must be a mistake, I'm going to find the emperor, I'm going to cry out for Yun'er! ”
Seeing his ignorant appearance, Li Ge became more and more angry, and almost picked up his crutches and beat him, "How do you shout injustice?" Don't be able to save Yun'er, but it will affect me, you are not allowed to go, if you dare to go, I will break your legs! ”
"You know your fame and wealth, I'm afraid that we will affect you, Yun'er is your niece!"
Li Yihe was also very angry, his official position was not as good as that of Li Ge Lao, and his prestige was not as good as Li Ge Lao, which was also a helpless thing.
But after all, he is Li Gelao's younger brother, so he doesn't have to worry about Li Gelao sending him down, so he simply sat on the ground and cried loudly, "You can even sacrifice your niece in vain, you are so ruthless, how can I have a brother like you!" Father! Mother! Take a look! ”
There was a phlegm sound in Li Ge's throat, and he suddenly blushed his face, and suddenly fell backwards......
Li Changzai was beaten into the cold palace, Li Ge fell ill, and the Li family was restless.
All of a sudden, the matter of the Li Mansion became a joke in the court.
