Chapter 23: Life and Death
The Imperial Study
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed. Tonight is the day when the new show maids go to bed, what does Your Majesty command? Xiao Shunzi presented a booklet to the emperor.
Huangfu Ruinian took the booklet, flipped through it casually, and named it without reading it all night. Xiao Shunzi stretched out his head and saw that it was Fu Xiunu, and next to her was Li Xiunu, and his eyes flashed slightly and took the booklet.
"The minion will arrange it." After saying that, he withdrew.
Yuxiu Palace
"Li Xiunu, you go to bed tonight, are you ready?"
"I'm ready, but you know, father-in-law, I ......"
"Needless to say, I will arrange it for you, you just need to serve Your Majesty well."
"Yes, father-in-law."
…… (I am the gentle dividing line) ......
The next day, the emperor canonized Li Xiunu as Li Cairen, but a few days later, he was promoted to Li Zhaoyi, and even canonized him as a virtuous concubine half a month later, and the promotion was staggering.
At this time, this virtuous concubine with infinite scenery and righteous grace went to the heavenly prison under the leadership of Xiao Shunzi.
Zhao Lingluo had been imprisoned in this cold, dark and damp prison for nearly a month, during which time no one cared about him, and he never saw a single living person except for the jailers who came to deliver the dumplings every day.
She curled up on the hay on the ground with a disheveled head, and let the fat rats pass by her, unmoved.
"Prisoner Zhao, Concubine Xian Niangniang came to visit you, why don't you get up and salute and thank you!" The jailer slapped the iron bars of the cell and yelled.
Zhao Lingluo, who was lying on the ground on her side, moved at this moment, she slowly propped up her body and slowly stood up from the ground. looked at Concubine Xian through an iron railing, and neither of them spoke.
"Alright, you go down!" Concubine Li Rao dismissed the jailer, and only she, Zhao Lingluo, and the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi were left here.
"Scattered, what do you have to say to me?" When she really faced Zhao Lingluo, her heart was not as strong as she imagined, and she still hoped that she could say something to herself.
"Are you a concubine?" Zhao Lingluo, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth with difficulty, and his voice was hoarse to the point that he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, I am Your Majesty's concubine."
"You're here to kill me, right? I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
In these days when she was imprisoned in the prison, she thought about her all the time! Thinking of her to save herself, even if this hope is just a dream she had, she can't help but think about it. She also thought that she would come and see her one last time and kill her, as she did today.
"Zero, don't blame me, I'm also forced to do it. I am now a virtuous concubine, I can have a stain, if I let Your Majesty know the relationship between you and me, you will not be the only one who dies! She paused, a hint of fierceness flashing in her eyes.
"You have to know that only the dead can shut up forever so that they don't leak it. So, I'm sorry for the scattering! You have to die, but you don't have to worry, it won't be long before I send Master Mo down to accompany you. ”
After saying this, Li Rao felt much more relaxed, as long as she thought that Zhao Ling was dead, she could rest easy, and the ridiculous soft-heartedness before was gone.
"Li Rao, you really make me feel disgusting, why did I fall in love with you blindly in the first place, and apologize for you! You are so vicious that you don't even let go of Master Mo, you are not afraid of being thundered by the retribution sky! ”
She was completely chilled, but what was the use of that? She was not afraid of death and knew that she would die, but she didn't expect Li Rao to refuse to let go of Master Mo. Li Rao is no longer the innocent woman she once was, she is now like a poisonous snake, but anyone who threatens her, she will bite with all her life. Inject your own venom into your enemy's body and send her on her way!
Li Rao's eyes widened, and her face was a little distorted. He said viciously: "Anyone who knows about this should die!" ”
Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch who had been watching coldly, coughed lightly and said, "It's almost time for Niangniang, it's time to go." ”
Hearing this, Li Rao rearranged the clothes on her body, picked up the shelf of the virtuous concubine and said, "Let's go!" He turned away and never looked at her again.
"Yes, sissy." After Xiao Shunzi followed Li Raosheng, she clapped her hands in the corridor, only to see two little eunuchs holding a tray and walking towards Zhao Sanluo's cell.
Without asking Li Rao, she knew what they were doing, her hands hidden in the wide sleeves of her coat clenched into fists, and her nails sank deep into her palms. Is it all over? No! And that's just the beginning......
"Master Mo doesn't have to worry about it, Niangniang only needs to serve His Majesty well, and ...... when the time comes"
"Hongu knows." Li Rao took a deep breath, this moment still came after all.
…… (I am the gentle dividing line) ......
"In the future, I will stay at Concubine Xian's, don't bother me!" Huangfu Ruinian impatiently waved away the little eunuch who came up to hand over the roster.
The little eunuch looked at the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi in fear, Xiao Shunzi glanced at him, and the little eunuch was relieved and bowed down and withdrew from the hall.
"Your Majesty, the slave will pass on the virtuous concubine Niangniang and ask her to prepare for bed tonight." Xiao Shunzi looked at his face and saw that he didn't react, just waved his hand, and then went down to pass it on.
…… (I'm a cute dividing line) ......
Xiao Shunzi took out a box of rouge boxes for women's makeup from her arms, handed it to Concubine Xian, and glanced at her vaguely.
"Congratulations to Niangniang, Your Majesty has a will: from now on, you will be spoiled alone. You can put away this box of jade skin cream, and apply some on your body when you serve Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will like it. ”
Concubine Xian smiled, and happily took the jade skin cream, "Thank you for hanging in the palace, come here, and show your father-in-law a reward!" ”
"Thank you for the reward, the slave has been brought and will retire first, Your Majesty is still waiting for the slave!" Putting a bag of gold leaves into his arms, Xiao Shunzi left.
"Father-in-law go slowly, Yu'er is not going to send off Xiaoshunzi's father-in-law." She ordered a maidservant to send her off.
"Yes, Father-in-law Xiaoshunzi, please!"
"The minions are gone!"
After a scene, the people of the Xianfei Palace were happy to feel that their master had won His Majesty's exclusive favor, and as long as they gave birth to a boy and half a girl in the future, the queen's position would definitely be at their fingertips.
Li Rao's hand holding the jade muscle cream trembled a little, although she could guess that it must have been mixed with poison. But she didn't know what kind of poison it was, whether it was a touch of death or a chronic poison, she didn't know.
If it's a chronic poison, it's fine, but if it's a poison that kills at the touch, as long as Her Majesty dies here, then her entire Li family will be finished.
It's just that she is also difficult to ride a tiger now, after all, the handle is in the hands of others.
