141 Destroying the Orchid and Breaking the Jade: Don't be born in the emperor's family in the next life
The young man had already changed his costume at this time, and his elegant robe set off a handsome face became more and more delicate, different from the previous in Li Chongrun's mansion, his lips were red, as if he had painted color, fortunately Li Chongrun was not defensive against him, and it didn't take much effort for him to sneak back.
Seeing Tianyan is not trivial, the young man is very cautious, and his calmness is not comparable to his age.
The empress had always loved young beautiful men, and when she saw this young man, her heart suddenly softened, and she spoke softly, as if she was worried that he would be frightened.
The young man was flattered, but with the mission, he was still able to clarify the priorities, and he was not in a hurry to please the empress and win the favor of the saint, not to mention that the benefits promised to him by the Zhang brothers would definitely be fulfilled after the matter was completed.
So the young man was clever and clever, mixing truth and falsehood, and took the remarks of Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji out of context and deliberately misinterpreted them, especially emphasizing Li Chongrun's disrespect for the empress.
The empress's face turned pale: "You can't be untrustworthy, do you know what the crime of slandering the emperor's grandson is?" Besides, how could you go to Chongrun Mansion for no reason, he is the emperor's grandson, how could he take care of you and say these words to you? β
The young man looked up, his lips were really red and white, and he looked innocent, and he said very firmly: "The villain is willing to take responsibility for every word he says, if the villain has ulterior motives, please beat the villain to death!" β
"To answer Your Majesty's question, why are you in the Imperial Grandson's Mansion?" Zhang Yizhi was afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Tell Your Majesty, here's the thing, the little one who went to the Emperor's Mansion was to ask for a musical score, but His Royal Highness the Taisun heard that the little one was a person from Fengchen's Mansion, and he was scornful and insulted in every way, and even laughed at the two princes together, and even made disrespectful remarks to His Majesty......"
"What did he say?" The Empress's heart sank, and her voice became extremely high-pitched.
"The little ones don't dare to repeat it." The young man's complexion is pale, and even if he wears vermilion powder, he can't hide his true color.
The empress spat out a single word, with irrefutable weight: "Say! β
The young man looked at Zhang Yizhi, and Zhang Yizhi was stunned: "Look at what I do, what you hear and see, just tell the truth, and don't let you wronged people!" β
The young man closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to say: "His Royal Highness the Taisun and His Royal Highness the King of Jiwei They said that Your Majesty is just a short-sighted woman after all, old and faint, indulging in pleasure, and the establishment of Fengchen Mansion is simply an unprecedented anecdote that has lost the royal face...... This is not the most excessive, and they still scolded you behind your back, saying that Your Majesty you areβ" At this point, I really didn't dare to continue.
The empress was about to explode, and she forcibly endured: "What are they calling me!" β
The young man trembled his lips and said slowly from a weak voice: "They say, say, say that you are the old pious woman of the world...... Damn it, please atone for your sins! "Immediately prostrate and apologize.
The Zhang brothers also knelt down: "Please calm your anger!" β
The empress's heart had strong ups and downs, and there was a fire in her nest, and there was no way to vent.
Zhang Yizhi shed tears: "Our two brothers have a sincere heart for Your Majesty, the sun and the moon can be seen, but they want to share their worries for Your Majesty with their meager strength, and hope that Your Majesty can have a quiet and leisurely situation in addition to working state affairs, but unexpectedly fell into such an unbearable situation, my brothers can only die to prove their innocence and make up for their mistakes." β
Zhang Changzong also cried along.
The beauty pear blossom with the rain is lovely, and the same is true for the beautiful man.
The empress sneered, inexplicably terrifying: "What is wrong with you? It's me who is wrong, I'm old and confused, I really think that my son is a son, and my grandson is a grandson, but I don't know that in the eyes of these unfilial children, I have neither the demeanor of an elder nor the bearing of an emperor...... They pretended to be respectful and humble, and they were pitiful to be slaughtered, but they just mocked me in a different way, and I couldn't even see their struggle, their young age and beautiful skin, all of which were just hypocritical disguises, and in their bones they had always had the superiority of the Li family and looking down on all beings...... The only thing they care about is the throne under me, even so, in their hearts, I am still a thief, yes, a thief, not a mother, not a grandmother, but a thief! Her voice revealed a deep sadness and indignation, and gradually began to hysterical.
β¦β¦
Wan'er, who had been dealing with it all day, didn't know what was going on and what was about to happen in this palace, and at night she went to ask to see Wu Cao, and there were a few questions that were very tricky, and she had to ask for instructions first.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she was stopped by Zhang Yizhi, and Wan'er was stunned: "Heng Guogong, I have something important." β
Zhang Yizhi smiled, did not answer her words, and pointed to the sky: "The moon is big and round tonight, tomorrow must be a good sunny day, but unfortunately, it will rain on a sunny day, and lightning and thunder may not be necessarily." Shangguan Sheren, remember to bring an umbrella tomorrow. If you forget, I'll just give you a ride, you won't be able to go far, but remember not to look back. β
Wan'er could hear what his words seemed to imply: "Guogong is playing tricks? β
Zhang Yizhi admitted: "Xuanzhi is mysterious and mysterious, why do you need to show off? β
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything substantive from his mouth, Wan'er was a little flustered, and her intuition told her that something big would happen, since Zhang Yizhi insisted on not letting her meet the empress, she must be vigilant, and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Yizhi, Wan'er quickly inquired about the empress's whereabouts all day, including where she went and who she saw. Everything that the Zhang brothers try their best to instigate must not be trivial, and the people involved must not be insignificant.
This kind of terror and uneasiness made Wan'er sleepless all night, did Er Zhang want to attack Li Dan or Taiping, or was he still targeting the newly established prince Li Xian?
For Empress Wu Cao, this night was also sleepless, she thought a lot alone, remembering that when she first entered the palace, she was full of admiration for Emperor Taizong, but Taizong was not merciful to her, on the contrary, she doted on her good sister Xu Hui even more; She remembered that she and Li Zhi met because of their common service, and the young Li Zhi had a soft spot for her, but she always had reservations about him; also thought of her sons Li Hong and Li Xian, who were her favorite and proudest sons, but she did not hesitate at all when she ordered to kill them, the more beloved and flawless she was, she was always so paranoid, so it was then, and it is the same now.
The Empress came to the window, gently pushed it open, the air outside was very cold, and she said to herself: "I want to tell all the people in the world, remind them that although I am late, my heart and pride have never changed, and I cannot tolerate betrayal!" β
The next morning, before it was fully light, the empress's decree was already spread throughout the palace.
Li Chongrun, the grandson of the emperor, and Wu Yanji, the successor of the king of Wei, were disrespectful and ordered to be strangled immediately.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, reaching the prince's mansion, Li Xiancai woke up from the nightmare not long ago, he couldn't believe this fact at all, he pinched his arm hard, and muttered: "It must be a nightmare!" I must still be in a nightmare! β
Wei Shi, who was dressed in white single clothes, first felt that the sky was dark, and when he fully reflected, he seemed to be going crazy, and he couldn't even take care of his coat, and was about to enter the palace barefoot to find the empress to theorize: "Did this crazy woman take the wrong medicine!" β
Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji obviously haven't made a move yet, and they can't even understand why they are here.
After Wan'er learned the news, she asked to see the empress as soon as possible, but the empress seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and asked the messenger to tell her that if it was to intercede, she would weigh her own weight first, and she didn't care about another person dying in the palace.
This unprecedented ruthless decision made Wan'er understand that there was no place to turn around, and now she completely understood what Zhang Yizhi said last night, thinking that the bell must be tied to the bell, and immediately went to see Zhang Yizhi's brother, she had never begged people like that, and asked them to raise their noble hands outside the door, but was told that the two princes went to the suburbs of Beijing to soak in the hot springs early in the morning.
cut off all the back roads, which shows how resolute this murderous intent is.
Wan'er couldn't care about her grief and panic, so she had to quickly rush to the crown prince Li Xian, and what she saw was Li Xian, who was almost stupid, and Wei Shi, who was in a state of madness.
Webster was firmly held by her subordinates, and she would never let go no matter how she beat and scolded.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you can't go to death!"
Even the subordinates understood the truth, but Webster couldn't listen to a word, and roared: "Get out!" β
The blood-red eyes saw Wan'er who rushed over, and there was an eerie laugh: "Look, look, it's all here to see our liveliness!" Everyone wants us to die! That's good, that's good, we'll all die for you to see, so that you can have a good time! β
Wan'er's calmness looked extremely cruel and ruthless, and she said in a non-turbulent tone: "There is no room for maneuver in the matter, please prepare for the aftermath of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson!" Please the crown prince and the crown princess to mourn the change! β
Wei's liver and intestines were about to break, and the cursing was endless: "Shangguan Wan'er, you are really a femme fatale!" Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go! When you die, we'll see you in the eighteenth layer of hell! And that old immortal stinky woman, who has a vicious mind and acts in vainβ"
Wan'er saw that if she couldn't control this situation, she was afraid that she would bury the entire Prince's Mansion, and raised her hand to be a resounding slap in the face.
Webster was stunned, covering half of his reddened face, unable to speak.
Wan'er rebuked loudly: "Wei Xiangsong! Do you know what you're doing? Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the past? Chongrun and Yanji are because of the misfortune that came out of their mouths, and people took the handle...... How many pairs of eyes are staring at the Prince's Mansion now, and how many pairs of ears are stretched out to catch the wind...... You have endured all kinds of hardships in Fangzhou for fifteen years, and now you can't endure a single day? Are you going to drag the entire Prince's Mansion to accompany the burial? Do you really think that the empress is just trying to kill Chongrun? Chongrun's status is noble, but in this overall situation, Chongrun is just a small role and a scapegoat, but it is just a touchstone used to test the loyalty of the royal family surnamed Li! I know it's cruel to say that, but you've always known that there are so many cruel things in this house! If you want to live and live long, then you will break your teeth and swallow your blood in your stomach! Put away your strong but useless anger, let your heart be turbulent, and your face can only be full of weakness and helplessness, go to the palace immediately to admit your mistakes, even if you kneel down and cry your eyes, let the empress believe in your innocence...... As for the innocent who gave their lives in vain, may they be ordinary people in the next life, and not be reborn in the emperor's family! β
