Chapter 110: Return to the Palace
Ye Jinkao had never seen Li Qingmu, and the ministers were not qualified to admire the face of the princess who had not yet left the cabinet. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
So when Li Qingmu stood in front of Ye Jinkao with tears in his eyes and a frightened face, Ye Jinkao only asked in a slightly surprised way, "Are you ......?"
Wu Fengtian was also puzzled, he didn't understand why Li Qingmu was hiding in the back hall and eavesdropping, let alone why Li Qingmu was so excited after hearing that the city was gone.
Li Qingmu rushed out in a hurry, and when he rushed in front of Ye Jinkao, he had already recovered from the four words of the palace.
Faced with the current dilemma, Li Qingmu took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and turned his eyes to make up a lie about Ye Jinkao. She said that she and Wu Fengtian just met by chance on the way to the capital, and she came to the post station today to say goodbye to Wu Fengtian. And the place where I went was the Huicheng Palace. Because her sister entered the palace many years ago to wait for the maid by the side of the Ten Princes, she has gone to live in the Huicheng Palace with the Ten Princes a few days ago.
She was worried about her sister who was far away in the Huicheng Palace, so she would do such a rude act.
Ye Jinkao relieved his doubts after hearing this, although there were still doubts in Li Qingmu's words, but after a long glance at Wu Fengtian, he was relieved.
The Wu Fengtian in front of him is a talent, Li Qingmu is young but looks like a fairy, and it is not impossible for the two to admire each other.
As for going to the Huicheng Palace to visit my sister, it is reasonable to say.
There are many rules in the palace, and there are not many opportunities for relatives to visit the palace maids. In the palace, it is not the same, although the rules are the same as the palace, but they are a little more humane in the implementation.
Ye Jin was very sympathetic to this girl who had traveled thousands of miles to see her sister, but she was very strict, and she did not tell Li Qingmu and Wu Fengtian about the city palace.
After a few more polite words with Wu Fengtian, Ye Jinkao left with a sad face.
Ye Jinkao left without a doubt in his heart, but Wu Fengtian's doubts were not solved. It's a pity that Li Qingmu didn't give Wu Fengtian a chance to ask, she turned around and went back to the room to pack her things.
Wu Fengtian refused to let him, and under the stalemate between the two phases, Li Qingmu yelled at Wu Fengtian angrily, "I have to go, you either kill me or dodge." ”
"Don't you give me a trick?" Li Qingmu suddenly rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his white arm in front of Wu Fengtian, and urged, "You go down, you go down quickly." You let me go, Wu Fengtian, I came all the way back here just to see my relatives. Now that my mother has passed away, my brother and sister's fate is uncertain......"
In the end, Li Qingmu squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
Wu Fengtian looked at Li Qingmu, who was crying uncontrollably, and his heart softened. People's hearts are long, and there will be a little moving when they see the pony kneeling, not to mention the bad news that Li Qingmu in front of him is connected to his relatives.
The next day, Li Qingmu set off to Huguo Temple accompanied by two Dayue guards disguised as Da Shun's people.
Now she wants to know the news of the Ten Princes and the Ten Princesses, and she can only go back to the palace to learn from the mouth of Emperor Yongning.
She wants to return to the palace as the fifth princess.
After traveling less than 200 miles out of the capital in the direction of Huguo Temple, Li Qingmu and the three of them met the officers and soldiers who came from the direction of Huguo Temple and held her portrait in their hands.
The two Dayue guards did not understand the Dashun language, and they were beheaded under their horses when they met those officers and soldiers.
On the same day, Li Qingmu changed carriages and returned to the capital. Two days later, he returned to the Dashun Palace after a three-year absence.
Li Qingmu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is very familiar with every grass and tree in the harem of Dashun.
After returning to the Yongshou Palace where Empress Ren lived before his death, Li Qingmu saw the loyal servants who had been waiting by Empress Ren's side for more than ten years, lotus leaves, Qiaozhu, and Xiaodezi.
After listening to a few minions kneeling in front of him and telling the story of the events before and after Empress Ren's death, Li Qingmu's tears of distress were hazy. She asked Lotus Ye in a trembling voice, "You mean, my mother was fine, but it was because the emperor wanted to enter the Yongshou Palace, so she took poison?" ”
Lotus Ye bit her lip tightly, nodded in a dumb voice, and said, "The Queen Mother left five words for the emperor, wishing Er Cheng Mingjun." ”
"Cheng Mingjun?" Li Qingmu covered his mouth and cried bitterly, "Cheng Mingjun." If he can become a Ming monarch, will he enter the palace of the first queen and concubine? If he can become a Ming Jun, he will sit alone with my mother's body for one night...... Mingjun, Mingjun ......"
Li Qingmu stood up and grabbed the sword hanging on the wall.
Qiaozhu's face turned pale with fright, and he suddenly hugged Li Qingmu's legs, crying, "Fifth princess, no." He is the emperor and you are the princess. You, you have to be obedient, don't be rash. The Queen Mother has already begged you to come down with the holy decree of discord......"
Li Qingmu could not listen to Qiaozhu's persuasion, she struggled to open Qiaozhu's hands, and rushed to the Zichen Hall where Emperor Yongning lived regardless of the palace people's obstruction.
Emperor Yongning was not there, and Li Qingmu searched the entire Zichen Hall and did not see Emperor Yongning.
Xiao Jingzi, the great eunuch who had been waiting by Emperor Yong'an's side, knelt at Li Qingmu's feet, looking at the sword in Li Qingmu's hand and trembling, "Fifth princess, the emperor hasn't come back yet, even if you have turned over the Zichen Palace, you won't be able to see the emperor." ”
Li Qingmu kicked Xiao Jingzi on the shoulder and shouted, "It's too early at this time, where is he if he is not in Zichen Palace." Say, where is the concubine?! ”
Xiaojingzi was kicked to the ground with a sigh, and immediately turned over and got up again. Kneeling in front of Li Qingmu again, Xiao Jingzi explained the secret whereabouts of Emperor Yongning with trepidation, "Fifth princess, the emperor is not in the palace, since receiving the news that the palace in Huicheng has gone to the palace, the emperor has said that he is sick and went to Huicheng. ”
As soon as he heard Xiao Jingzi mention that Huicheng would go to water, the sword in Li Qingmu's hand raised three points again, and asked angrily, "How can the Huicheng Palace go to water, how are the ten princes and ten princesses?" How is the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang! ”
When Empress Ren gave birth to twin sons for Emperor Ren, Emperor Ren once happily said that Empress Ren gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes for him. Since then, the concubines in the palace have mentioned the Ten Princes and the Ten Princesses, and they have mostly replaced them with dragons and phoenixes or perfect ones.
The cold sweat on Xiao Jingzi's head dripped down, and he looked at Li Qingmu's embroidered lotus uppers and replied in a trembling voice, "Fifth princess, the emperor has personally gone to investigate this matter, what happened to the ten princes and the ten princesses, the slaves don't know, the slaves really don't know!" ”
"I don't know everything, what's the use of leaving you, a slave who forgets your master!" Li Qingmu was furious, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight into Xiao Jingzi.
Instinctively, the sword grazed his right arm and slid over, bleeding like a pillar.
Xiao Jingzi screamed, stood up and ran. Li Qingmu saw that a sword failed to kill Xiao Jingzi, so he chased after the sword.
The palace people waiting in the Zichen Hall did not dare to step forward to stop the princess, but only knelt in the corner and trembled.
Xiao Jingzi took three swords from Li Qingmu in a row, and Xiao Dezi, who followed Li Qingmu, stopped Li Qingmu at the cost of being hit by a sword in his armpit.
Xiao Dezi hugged Li Qingmu arrogantly, and panted and persuaded, "Fifth princess, calm down, now Xiao Jingzi is the big eunuch in front of the emperor, and he can't be killed." ”
Li Qingmu clenched his teeth tightly, and his eyes were full of hatred. At this time, she not only wanted to kill Xiaojingzi, but also wanted to kill the Emperor Yongning, who kept saying that she loved her mother, and finally forced her mother to a dead end.
With a 'bang', Li Qingmu only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his eyes were black and fainted.
Qiaozhu, who was standing behind Li Qingmu, turned pale, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground with a 'snap'.
Looking at Li Qingmu who had fainted, Qiaozhu's tears fell suddenly, and he covered his mouth and cried bitterly.
Lotus Ye walked up to Xiao Jingzi and blessed her body, lowered her eyes and said, "Father-in-law Jing, the fifth princess has been stimulated too much, and I ask your lord to forgive me not to be like the princess......"
Xiao Jingzi was covered in blood, and when he saw that the lotus leaf blessed him, he said with a bitter face, "Lotus leaf girl, aren't you tormenting me?" ”
Lotus Ye raised her head, her eyes were full of hatred, "How dare you slave maid, no one in the palace now knows that Gonggong Jing is the most favored by the emperor." In the future, I will ask Gonggong Jing to say a few more good words for the fifth princess in front of the emperor. The Queen Mother, there is only such a princess left......"
Xiao Jingzi's face turned blue when he heard this, and he raised his right hand and slapped himself a few times, his eyes turned red, and tears fell.
Li Qingmu didn't wake up until the next morning, looking at the familiar palace in front of him in a trance.
With a pain in the back of her head, she remembered what she had heard before she fainted.
Her mother was forced by Emperor Yongning to commit suicide by poisoning, and her younger siblings are now unknown in their lives and deaths.
I couldn't stand the pain in my heart, and in the blink of an eye, tears fell again.
Seeing that Li Qingmu was awake on the side, Lotus Ye hurriedly handed Li Qingmu a wet handkerchief, and persuaded with red eyes, "Fifth princess, you can't be rash." Now, now the whole world is the emperor's ......"
Li Qingmu put the wet handkerchief on his face and choked up.
Two days after Li Qingmu returned to the palace, Emperor Yongning returned to the palace.
On the night when Emperor Yongning returned to the palace, Li Qingmu saw Jingyu, Zhou An, and Zhiyue in his bedroom.
Jingyu's face was pale, and her big eyes were full of horror. After seeing Li Qingmu, tears fell down at once, and they couldn't wipe it clean.
Through Zhiyue's narration, Li Qingmu learned that Jingyu and the others returned to the palace with Emperor Yongning.
When Emperor Yongning arrived at the Qingxin Pavilion, he was furious when he found that the real five princesses were not there, but only the fake princess Jingyu. In a fit of rage, he ordered someone to draw a portrait of Li Qingmu to pursue it along the road, and severely punished Jingyu.
At this time, Li Qingmu had calmed down a lot, and she could understand that Emperor Yongning would be angry when she saw that she was gone, but what she couldn't understand was why Emperor Yongning, who had obviously gone to the Huicheng Palace, went to Qingxin Pavilion.
On July 29 of the second year of Yuan Qi, Xiao Jingzi, who was tied with a bandage, came to the Yongshou Palace with the holy decree in his hand.
Emperor Yongning decreed that the fifth princess Li Qingmu would be the princess of Zhengyipinhanyue, and the pro-Dayue Kingdom would be the concubine. One more and one more ~~~
