Chapter 81: Cornered

From the moment she saw Li You and Shui Qingqing's hands holding each other at the gate of the palace, Mei Zijin had been dull in her heart. Later, he was invited by Princess Leyi to come to Chuxiu Palace, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that Li You did it on purpose, but he still came as he wished.

Just to be able to look at her more......

And from the moment she saw Shui Qingqing, Mei Zijin's hand holding the teacup became tighter and tighter, and her eyes seemed to be half-closed, but the afterglow did not miss the actions of the two opposite, and she was even more stimulated by Li You's words, and her heart was like pressing a boulder.

Later, seeing Li You feeding her sweet cakes, Mei Zijin finally couldn't hold back, and stepped forward and grabbed Li You's hand tightly. Li You, who was suddenly blocked, turned around and saw that it was Mei Zijin who made a move to stop him, and anger gushed out instantly.

And Shui Qingqing and Princess Le Yi also looked at the outstanding changes with a shocked face, only Queen Chen hooked her lips and sneered, looking at it with interest.

Li You, who came back to his senses, fell off Mei Zijin's tongs heavily, and even the sweet cake fell heavily to the ground, shattered into mud, and said with a cold face: "What does Master Hou mean by this?" ”

Mei Zijin took two steps back, looked at the broken sweet cake on the ground with a faint light, and said indifferently: "The county lord is allergic to sesame seeds, and this sweet cake contains exactly this, please be cautious with Your Highness." ”

Hearing this, Li You couldn't help but look into the broken sweet cake on the ground, and sure enough, it contained a little sesame seeds.

Li You's handsome face flushed slightly, turned to look at Shui Qingqing, who was stunned, and said with a little shame: "Why didn't you tell me that you can't eat sesame seeds?" What if something happens? ”

Shui Qingqing didn't expect Li You to suddenly care so much about herself, and she didn't know that there were sesame seeds in the sweet cake wrapped in flowers, so even she didn't react.

However, without waiting for Shui Qingqing to answer, Li You had already recovered from his shame and anger, and said coldly to Mei Zijin: "Thank you Master Hou for telling me!" ”

said that he was grateful, but his tone was cold and unparalleled, which made Shui Qingqing's heart skip a beat.

The atmosphere in the hall condensed, almost breathless.

Mei Zijin's uncontrollable concern for Shui Qingqing not only made Li You feel depressed and uncomfortable, but also made Princess Leyi on the side jealous, and her pretty face turned white.

Queen Chen, who looked at everything in front of her coldly, smiled with satisfaction in her heart-

There is no need for her to deliberately provoke, Mei Zijin can't hold it back, so, this four-person drama, but it opened in advance.

The implicit apricot eyes swept coldly over the four of them, and Empress Chen smiled slowly: "This palace remembers that Master Hou has never liked sweets, but I didn't expect to know so much about a small piece of sweet cake - it's really heartfelt!" ”

After that, he said to the red sleeves behind him with a serious order: "Tell me to go down, in the future, in the food of the county lord of Guanqing, you must not be contaminated with half a grain of sesame seeds. ”

Empress Chen's sentence of 'I have a heart' made Shui Qingqing feel uneasy, and she was worried that the nameless person was in the main courtyard, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Empress Chen: "Niangniang, the courtier is unwell and wants to go back to rest first." In the future, when the body recovers, I will enter the palace to say goodbye to my mother. ”

Empress Chen sat on it, condescendingly looking at Shui Qingqing, who was pale and uneasy, her heart was cold, but she was reluctant to hold on her face: "This palace has personally prepared the dishes, and I just kept you for lunch together, how can I leave like this?" ”

Without waiting for Shui Qingqing to speak, Mei Zijin also stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Weichen still has military affairs in his body, so he will leave first." Thank you for your kindness! ”

Seeing that Mei Zijin also said that he was leaving, Le Yi and Li You's expressions sank, and Queen Chen said, "Is Master Hou also leaving?" Alas, the four of you were personally married by His Majesty, and it was a godsend. The palace is really happy for you, so today taking advantage of the entry of the county lord of Guanqing into the palace, I specially invited Hou Ye and Le Yi to come over for dinner, which can be regarded as leading the troops to the expedition for Hou Ye in the near future - when Hou Ye returns triumphantly, it is time for Le Yi to dress up and marry you! Therefore, Hou Ye should accompany Leyi, and then be busy with military affairs after eating. ”

After that, he undoubtedly beckoned the red sleeves to lead the palace people to start serving.

This meal is destined to be embarrassing and painful.

And Shui Qingqing thought that Mei Zijin would leave the capital and go to the battlefield in the near future, and she was even more sad, gritting her teeth and eating the dishes that Li You helped her, but she didn't know the taste of food, and all the accumulated food was blocked in her chest, and she vomited as soon as she left the palace gate after the banquet......

After the banquet, Emperor Jin Ming recruited Mei Zijin and Li You into the imperial study, Princess Leyi also went back, and the red sleeves accompanied Queen Chen to the side hall to sit down, Queen Chen looked at the tea set in front of her, her apricot eyes were frosty, and she said coldly: "But all the utensils used today, all thrown away." ”

The red sleeves were startled, but in the next moment, they understood what Empress Chen meant, and ordered the palace people to clean up and throw away the tea sets and rice bowls used by Shui Qingqing's Chuxiu Palace today.

Empress Chen said with a cold face: "Can you find out what You'er said to her on the city tower?" ”

Redsleeves' face turned white, and he looked hesitant and timid.

Looking at the hesitant appearance of the red sleeves, Queen Chen's heart was cold, and she gritted her teeth and said: "If you have something to say, don't be upset." ”

Red Sleeves trembled all over, and said tremblingly: "Back to Niangniang, Your Highness has promised the county lord the future queen!" ”

After that, the red sleeves will inquire about what they heard, and they will tell Queen Chen in 1510.

Hearing that Li You actually promised Shui Qingqing the position of future queen, Empress Chen laughed angrily, the sharp armor on her hand scratched deep marks on the red sandalwood table at hand, and said with a smile: "How can this be true, a little girl who walks the arts, a lowly person who digs wells and slaughters livestock, and a ruined willow who has married people, is inferior to the lowly palace maids in Yongxiang in the palace, and she actually wants to be a queen!?" Is there still a heavenly principle?! ”

Thinking of her treasure-like son, the most noble prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, actually serving tea and taking pastries for her, and holding tea for her, Queen Chen was so angry that her eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Just because she was a Chongxi lady before, the palace felt that it had defiled my You'er, but I didn't expect that she was ...... Was...... Such a background and experience! ”

As Shui Qingqing expected, the Yang family did tell Empress Chen about her previous past in the Western Desert.

Like Empress Chen, the Yang family, who had planted a heel in Shui Qingqing's hands and was afraid that Shui Qingqing would seek revenge on her after she gained power, did not want to see Shui Qingqing marry the third prince.

Because the Yang family knows that according to Bai Haoqing's cold-blooded and ruthless, power-heavy and righteous, once Shui Qingqing can't climb the royal family, can't add glory to the Bai family, and shine on the lintel, Bai Haoqing will definitely turn his back on this daughter who came home halfway, and under the annoyance and anger, it is possible to quietly kill and dispose of her.

But what the Yang family can quite grasp is that in order to hide that his daughter had done the evil thing of killing people and snatching children before, he was afraid that Bai Lingwei would be affected afterwards, so about Shui Qingqing's seeding and giving birth to children, the Yang family hid it from Queen Chen.

If Empress Chen knew that Shui Qingqing had not only married but also given birth to children, she was afraid that she would be even more devastated and hateful, and she would be even more intolerant of Shui Qingqing......

And thinking of what Li You said before, he would help Shui Qingqing investigate the real culprit of Princess Wuning's affair, and he had a headache, and said hatefully: "What's more, have you found out what she said with the emperor in the garden today?" ”

Looking at Empress Chen's angry face, Red Sleeves said cautiously: "At that time, the emperor withdrew all his entourage, and our people didn't dare to get too close, but we only faintly heard the county lord mention the divorce to the emperor......"

"Your Majesty must not have agreed!"

Thinking of Shui Qingqing's dejected appearance when she came back from the Imperial Garden, Empress Chen guessed the result without thinking about it, and swept the teacup on the small table with hatred, and said angrily: "What's wrong with the emperor, I was fascinated by Wu Ning twenty years ago, and now I am fascinated by her daughter, why do you have to let You'er marry her......"

Looking at Empress Chen's angry and hateful appearance, Red Sleeves trembled and said carefully: "I heard that Princess Wuning was also mentioned between the two, but they were too far away, and they didn't understand the specific content......"

Hearing this, Queen Chen's heart tightened, and her eyes became deeper and more terrifying.

Red Sleeves was also cold, and said timidly: "Niangniang, could it be the county lord that she has shown something again, so ...... So you went to the emperor to complain? ”

Apricot eyes narrowed dangerously, Empress Chen spit out the turbidity in her heart, and said coldly word by word: "Until now, whether it is for You'er or for the complete annihilation of the events of the past, she can't be tolerated." ”

Red sleeves said excitedly: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry, as long as the person from the Wang family appears and exposes her unbearable past, let His Royal Highness and His Majesty protect her again, she will not be able to be the third princess." When the time comes, her ability to compete with the mother - too many people to tolerate her. ”

Yes, as long as Shui Qingqing can't marry Li You, she can't be the third princess, not only the Yang family's Bai Lingwei will not let her go, but Princess Leyi will not let her go for Mei Zijin, and even the future third princess can't tolerate her in the world, where do you still need Queen Chen to do it herself?

Empress Chen twisted her eyebrows and said, "As a last resort, you can't use the Wang family's chess move for the time being." ”

Red Sleeves was puzzled: "Niangniang, what is this for?" ”

Sighing heavily, Empress Chen repented: "Involving the Wang family, the Bai Mansion is facing the big crime of bullying the king." And now Bai Haoqing is the prime minister of a country, and the emperor also trusts him. Over the years, this old fox has quietly hoarded a lot of power in the imperial court, so his support is indispensable for You'er to seize the heir - he can't have an accident for the time being! ”

"Moreover, at the beginning, the palace wrote a secret letter to him and the Yang family separately, if he was forced to be in a hurry, he jumped over the wall in a hurry, shook out the secret letter, and fought with the palace to break the net, but I am afraid that in the end, it will only be the four princes who will benefit."

Red Sleeves didn't feel a cold sweat on his body, and said worriedly: "Since the Wang family is not available now, what ...... Niangniang has other plans, and the wedding date is only six days. ”

Apricot eyes crossed the most fierce cold light, Empress Chen smiled coldly, and said in a manly voice: "Didn't you say that Sheng Yu, the youngest daughter of the Sheng family who was infatuated with Mei Zijin at the beginning, has returned to the Sheng family - immediately send someone to quietly call her into the palace!" ”

Sheng Yu, who had never entered the palace and never expected to see the queen, felt that he had floated up to the sky from the moment he stepped on the sedan chair, and he was so happy that he couldn't help himself.

When she entered the most rich and prosperous harem in the world, and then came to the Chuxiu Palace of Queen Chen, the lord of the harem, she was even more dazzled, and her eyes were straight.

Empress Chen still received Sheng Yu in the side hall, and when she knelt down and saluted, her eyes couldn't help but glance around with excitement, and she sneered coldly in her heart, but she smiled kindly on her face: "I heard that you jumped into the deep lake because of love, and then you accidentally let your family rescue the county lord of Guanqing ashore - in this way, you have also become half of the benefactor of the county lord of Guanqing, without your martyrdom because of love, then she was rescued, is this palace right?" ”

Shui Qingqing was promised to be married to the prince as the princess, Sheng Yu knew that while envious, she couldn't help but sigh at the injustice of fate, she jumped into the lake and fell into the water and was killed, but Shui Qingqing flew on the branch and made a phoenix.

But what made Sheng Yu jealous the most was that she was obviously marrying into the Hou Mansion Chongxi on her behalf, and she obviously hated her Mei Zijin before, but in the end she fell in love with her, and she wanted to be with her regardless of her luck......

On his face, Sheng Yu replied respectfully with meek and well-behaved eyebrows: "Being able to save the county lord is a blessing for the people's daughter." ”

Empress Chen hooked her lips and smiled, "This palace also heard that you still like Mei Hou Ye, this infatuation really moved this palace - so, in return, this palace wants to marry you to Mei Hou Ye, what do you think?" ”

With a light in his eyes, Sheng Yu raised his head and looked at Queen Chen in disbelief, his heart was so ecstatic that he almost jumped out of his throat.

Before coming to the palace, she was still hostile to her parents for this matter, and she was persuaded by her parents to fill the house, but she didn't expect that she was suddenly accepted into the palace by Queen Chen, and there was such a good thing waiting for her.

Sheng Yu is not stupid, not to mention that in the past few months, she has been making a living in the land of fireworks, and she has long understood that there is no good thing in the world that is not earned for nothing, so Queen Chen deliberately took herself into the palace and promised what she dreamed of, it will definitely not be so simple.

Suppressing the ecstasy in her heart, Sheng Yu said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang's great grace, the people's daughter is unforgettable...... The folk girls are willing to serve the mother, even if they go to the soup for the mother, the women are willing. ”

Hearing this, Empress Chen smiled with satisfaction, she didn't expect this greedy little pariah to be a smart person with vision.

In this way, Queen Chen no longer circled with her, let the red sleeves step forward to help her, and even gave her a seat, and said with a smile: "This palace is really troublesome, I want the girl and Imperial Doctor Ling Zunsheng to help." ”

Sheng Yu said eagerly: "Niangniang, please speak." ”

Her eyes fell on her sharp armor, and the cold light flashed in her eyes, and Queen Chen sneered: "It's very simple, as long as the girl can persuade Lord Lingzun to prescribe a few good medicines for the county lord of Guanqing, so that the county lord can 'well' recuperate for a few days, and when the wedding period is over, this palace will definitely send you to the side of Marquis Mei as you wish." ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao was as smart as Sheng Yu, and he couldn't understand it, so he looked at Queen Chen in a daze, and there was a puzzle in his description-

Isn't Empress Chen the aunt of the county lord of Guanqing, I heard that this family affair was also in order to repay Princess Wuning's saving grace, and Empress Chen took the initiative to promise, is it - Queen Chen has repented now?

Sheng Yu was confused and excited, and her body couldn't stop trembling: "What do you mean?" ”

Empress Chen closed her eyes, leaned lazily on the gold wire cushion, and the red sleeves stepped forward and lowered her voice to Sheng Yu: "Miss Sheng is a smart person, so Miss Sheng thinks that a widow who has been a Chongxi lady is still qualified to be the princess of the Third Highness?" ”

Sheng Yu's expression was shocked, and he instantly understood.

The next moment, she knelt down in front of Empress Chen again, prostrate and kowtowed: "The people's girls obey Niangniang's instructions for everything. ”

Empress Chen smiled with satisfaction, opened her eyes and looked at her coldly, and said with a smile: "Then in your opinion, will your father be as good at talking as you?" ”

Sheng Yu was slightly stunned, but the next moment he smiled clearly: "My father is the most reluctant to let us three sisters in his life, and now that the eldest sister and the second sister are about to get married, if there is any accident, my father will definitely be worried and sad." And I'm ...... I'm afraid my father won't want to see me die a second time. If you use some bitter tricks, your father will obediently listen to her mother's words. ”

Empress Chen smiled comfortably and solemnly promised: "Okay, Miss Sheng is so understanding, this palace will not treat you badly, and it will definitely be as you wish." ”

Leaving Chuxiu Palace in the morning, Sheng Fang was summoned by Empress Chen again in the afternoon.

Looking at Sheng Fang, who was kneeling on the ground and being cautious, Empress Chen smiled coldly in her heart, but her face frowned and said worriedly: "Today, you diagnosed that the county lord of Guanqing was depressed and difficult to relieve, and after hearing this, the palace was very worried. You also know that the county lord's biological mother has passed away, and this palace is her own aunt, so she has to care for her. So I came to you and wanted you to be responsible for regulating the county lord's body, what do you think? ”

Sheng Fang agreed without saying a word.

Empress Chen personally put a prescription in front of him, and said with a smile on her face: "This is a good prescription that the palace personally found for the county lord, and the imperial doctor will just take the medicine for the county lord according to the prescription above." ”

Sheng Fang was surprised, since he was sending someone to take care of him, why did he have to give him another prescription?

Stunned to take the prescription, Sheng Fang's eyes swept over the various flavors of medicine on it, immediately turned pale, his hands trembled, and the next moment he was already begging for mercy towards Queen Chen: "Niangniang, this prescription ...... This recipe is not a cure for the county lord's disease, but a fierce medicine on the opposite of the county lord's illness, and it will kill the county lord......"

Empress Chen had already expected him to react like this, so she waved her sleeves and sneered: "If these medicinal imperial doctors can't be sent into the county lord's mouth, then this palace will give Ling Qianjin another dose of fierce medicine!" ”

Empress Chen's words made Sheng Fang, who was shocked by the prescription, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, however, the next moment, looking at the scene in front of him, Sheng Fang's whole body trembled violently, and his face turned white with fright.

The screen in the hall was pushed open, and behind the screen, I saw Sheng Yu kneeling in front of the desk with her hands and feet tied, with a long white silk around her neck, one end on her neck, and the other end had passed through the beam and held in the hand of the red sleeves.

"Daughter......

Sheng Fang lost his voice in horror, and was about to pounce without thinking about it, but was stopped by the palace people on the side.

"Father save me...... I don't want to die......"

The moment the screen was pushed away, Sheng Yu cried heart-rending to Imperial Doctor Sheng, who was already so frightened that he was numb with fright, and burst into tears.

"Father, my daughter has died once...... My daughter doesn't want to die. Please father save me, I don't want to be strangled to death......"

Sheng Fang's body trembled, his lips were pale, and he was speechless.

Empress Chen waved her hand without blinking, and the red sleeves pulled Bai Aya's head hard, Sheng Yu's whole body suddenly left the ground, was strangled by Bai Aya's neck, and hung into the air, her little face instantly turned red, and her frightened eyes stared at Sheng Fang who collapsed to the ground.

"Does Imperial Doctor Sheng really want to watch his daughter being hanged in front of her eyesβ€”in this case, how will the adults give an account to their lady when they go back?"

"Moreover, as far as this palace knows, the adult is not only this flower-like daughter, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are about to marry into the noble family, if they are also like the youngest daughter, one by one hanged in front of the adult, how can the adult sleep peacefully in the future life?"

Empress Chen's words, cold as a ghost, drilled into the ears of the collapsed Sheng Fang, let him.

Sheng Fang's forehead slammed heavily on the cold gold brick, and blood flowed: "Niangniang, Weichen should be ...... Ask the mother to let the little girl go......"

Sheng Fang's words fell, the red sleeves let go of the white silk in his hand, Sheng Yu fell back to the ground, lowered his head and panted heavily, his eyes were full of pride......

Sheng Fang wanted to take Sheng Yu back, but Queen Chen refused, Queen Chen said: "Before the matter is done, the little girl of the adult will temporarily live here in the palace, and after the ninth day of the second month, the palace will return the adult to a lively and flower-like daughter, and there will be generous gifts!" ”

Sheng Fang said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang's subordinates are innumerable...... Why...... Why is it Wechen? ”

Empress Chen hooked her lips and smiled with satisfaction: "Because the lord is familiar with each other, and he is the county lord's life-saving benefactor - the medicine given by the lord to the county lord, the county lord will definitely not doubt it!" ”

Sheng Fang cried: "Niangniang, the county lord is not a bad person, beg Niangniang to spare her life......"

Apricot eyes were full of frost, and Queen Chen sneered: "This palace didn't want her life, this palace just felt that she had no chance with You'er, and didn't want to wronged her to marry You'er, so let her temporarily lose her mind before she got married, and when the marriage period passed, the marriage would be in vain, and she would be fine." ”

Sheng Fang's hand holding the prescription kept trembling violently, "But Niangniang...... This kind of medicine is easy to be discovered, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it......"

"You can rest assured that the imperial doctor in the palace will be on our side, and no one will see the illness of the county lord. As for the Bai family's house doctors, the words of the little house doctors, how can they refute the words of all the doctors in the Ying Tai Hospital?! ”

Empress Chen thought of something again, and ordered: "Remember, when you go to help the county lord see a doctor, don't say that the palace let you go, just say that you don't worry about her, and specially prescribed a prescription for her." ”

Sheng Fang's heart was cold, so, if it was the East Window matter, all the blame would be his, and it had nothing to do with Queen Chen - he was the one who died!

As for this, Sheng Fang had no way out, kowtowed to Queen Chen again, and said sadly: "In the future, if it is a matter, Wechen will bear it with all his might, and I only hope that Niangniang will be able to protect Wechen's wife and daughter at that time." ”

Empress Chen hooked her lips and smiled with satisfaction: "This is natural, Imperial Doctor Sheng-don't worry." ”

Sheng Yu, who was led to the apse to rest, drank fragrant tea comfortably, thinking that his dream would come true soon and that he could marry Mei Zijin as he wished, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, she didn't know that for her own obsession and selfish desires, she had driven her father, who loved her, to death!

On the other side, Shui Qingqing, who didn't care about eating and vomiting, thought about being nameless, and hurried to the main courtyard.

However, when she returned to the main courtyard and looked at everything in front of her, her whole body instantly fell cold......
