A few days ago, news came from Huai Song that King Huai Song Jinjiang led some officials who supported him to ask the Tai Hospital to announce the emperor's physical condition on the grounds that Emperor Song's health was different, but Nalan Hongye refused and almost used his sword. Now there are rumors in Huai Song and the Song Dynasty, saying that the eldest princess is dictatorial and dictatorial, and there are even rumors that the first emperor was killed by her.
Li Ce frowned slightly when he talked about this matter, and said lightly: "If it's okay, why don't you plug those people's mouths?" β
Chu Qiao didn't say anything, vaguely guessed something, it must be not just her, I'm afraid there are already countless pairs of eyes staring at Huai Song in this world, and the woman who has supported the Nalan Mansion for many years with her own strength, how should she deal with this dark arrow at this moment?
She couldn't help but think of the slightly scribbled letterhead she saw in Yanbei many years ago: The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and you don't know.
Even if you look tough on the outside, there are times when you are sad and sad, but who can always be as strong as ever?
On the ninth day of March, Li Ce's second son, Li Qiao'an, died of typhoid fever at the age of three. When he learned the news, Li Ce was inspecting the embankment in Xianghu Lake and hurried back, but he only had time to see the child's body.
Li Ce now has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is six years old, the daughter is four years old, and the child who died is the son of Lady Nanyun. After the child's death, Lady Nagumo fell ill with grief and died three days later.
After all, the child was still too young to be put in a coffin, so he was only cremated in Nantian Temple and buried in the temple.
Li Ce drank a lot of wine that night, and it was the first time Chu Qiao saw Li Ce drunk, no matter what time he used to be, he seemed to be awake, even if he couldn't walk, his eyes were still clear.
That night, he grabbed Chu Qiao's hand, squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, and muttered while drinking, "Am I killing too deeply?" β
His strength was too great, and it hurt Chu Qiao's wrist rawly. The hall was very quiet, the cold wind blew in, raising an ethereal dust, the frogs chattered among the willows, but it was even more silent, and the red candle tears melted on the copper crane top pan branch candlestick, like a woman's tears rolling through the cheeks dyed with rouge, falling silently.
On the second day, Li Ce posthumously crowned Mrs. Nanyun as Concubine Yun and entered the imperial mausoleum, so that her family father and brother could enjoy the honor.
In the blink of an eye, it was May, and Mrs. Ziming, who went to Huangzhuang to give birth, returned to the palace and gave birth to a son, and the palace was celebrated. Li Ce gave the child the name Qingrong, and gave him the title of King Rong. Mrs. Ziming became the head of the three concubines and received the title of concubine.
The palace maids in the palace were talking about this noble concubine in private, saying that she had a son in such a short time after entering the palace, and she also climbed to the concubine position, and the queen seat was just around the corner.
However, some people say that she came from a humble background, her family has declined, her father is still a criminal minister, even if her brother is now gradually showing his edge in the court, but in the end, her identity is inconvenient and she cannot ascend to a high position. Without the support of the family, it is difficult for Ming Guifei to make achievements.
Only then did Chu Qiao remember that this Ming Guifei was not an outsider, and she also had a lot of connections with her. was chased and killed by Zhao Chun'er, Zhao Song entrusted Zhan Ziyu to find her, and Zhan Ziyu was the brother of this Ming Guifei.
Regarding Li Ce's harem affairs, Chu Qiao was reluctant to inquire, and he rarely paid attention to them on weekdays. Suddenly remembered something, and asked Qiu Sui: "Why didn't you see the queen mother at the canonization ceremony of the concubine?" β
Qiu Sui replied: "After the death of the first emperor, the queen mother went out of the palace to Anyin Temple, and she has not returned to the palace for many years. β
Chu Qiao suddenly thought of the queen mother's troubled life, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhuge Yue sent someone to send her a pair of Hudi two-winged birds a few days ago, they are very beautiful, with bright fur color, it is said that this kind of bird has been born in pairs since childhood, if one dies, the other will never live alone.
Chu Qiao likes to feed them by himself every day, and renames them winged birds, which is very fond of them. The female bird seemed to have a good relationship with Chu Qiao, and gradually, even if she released the cage, she didn't fly far, just hovering in the main hall, occasionally landing on Chu Qiao's shoulder, rubbing her cheek with her neck. The male bird was always very angry when he saw it, and the whole house was flying around and screaming, which made the little maids laugh.
Li Ce also seemed to like these two birds, and came to tease them from time to time.
One night, Chu Qiao was sleeping, and suddenly felt as if someone was looking at her, as soon as she opened her eyes, she sat up in the dark, and suddenly fell into a hard embrace.
The man's breath was familiar, and his breath was a little low, spraying on her neck one by one, with a hint of wine. He hugged her so tightly that it almost hurt her, as if he had exhausted all his strength. She didn't struggle, and through the cold clothes, she seemed to feel his loneliness and pain, and she gently reached out and patted his back.
The moonlight shone miserably on them, and the man's shirt was embroidered with a thin dragon pattern in red thread, and the silk thread was so thin that it seemed to melt into the heavy bright yellow, and the faint veins were like bloody wrists.
Gradually, Li Ce let go of her.
Chu Qiao asked cautiously, "Li Ce, do you think I am her?" β
Li Ce was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chu Qiao was suddenly a little cramped, as if he had inadvertently broken into someone else's secret, and said softly: "I heard what people said, in the past, Princess Fu lived here, right?" β
Li Ce looked at her steadily, his gaze was so far-reaching, like a secluded ancient well, with a clear and deep meaning.
At that time, Chu Qiao may not be able to understand his eyes, but he only feels very uncomfortable to be looked at by him.
"Huh." Li Ce suddenly chuckled, and then said lazily in an elongated tone, "Fu'er's figure is much better than yours." β
That night, Li Ce left Mi Heju and went to Concubine Ming's Roufu Palace. As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Chu Qiao saw that there was something bright and clear on the table, it was Li Ce's jade wrench, she hurriedly ran to the window and shouted, "Li Fox!" Your wrench! β
Li Ce turned his head and smiled brightly at her, his smile was dizzyingly handsome in the moonlight. "**A moment is worth a thousand gold, I'll come back tomorrow to get it!" With that, he went in the direction of the Roufu Temple.
Chu Qiao held the wrench and glared at the foolish emperor, and when he turned around, his toes accidentally kicked on a raised threshold, and his heart ached. She sat down with a frown, only to see that her toes were bleeding a lot, staining her white nightdress red.
At the bottom of her heart, a trace of panic suddenly appeared.
About the fourth watch, a rush of footsteps suddenly came, Chu Qiao felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't sleep yet, so he sat up for a while. Just as Mei Xiang and Qiu Sui hurriedly ran into the hall, everyone turned pale, and said as if they were dead ashes:
"Your Majesty has been assassinated!"
Boom! In the dark night, the white jade wrench suddenly fell to the ground, but it did not break, only knocked off a corner, and rolled away along the smooth floor.
When she arrived at the Yixin Palace, there was already a cry outside the entire hall, and the entire Tai Hospital was waiting outside the hall, and several veteran Tai Doctors gathered inside, only to see that basins of blood and water were constantly being brought out, like sharp knives, deeply piercing into the bone marrow, and hurting fiercely.
Qiu Sui said that Li Ce was stabbed when he was staying in the palace of Ming Guifei at night, and the wounder was an elderly old eunuch who claimed that Prince Luo was his benefactor.
Chu Qiao clenched her fists tightly, at this time, she was not allowed to enter the inner hall, and she was not even qualified to kneel and cry outside. She frowned suspiciously, not to mention that the Roufu Hall was heavily guarded, Li Ce was a first-class guard master on the left and right, how could an old eunuch of unknown origin sneak into the inner hall and assassinate successfully? Even if Li Ce's own skills are concerned, he will never let strangers easily approach without noticing.
She looked from afar, and saw a thinly clothed woman kneeling alone in a small square directly in front of the main hall, her sideburns disheveled, and her face could not be seen clearly because her back was facing her.
Qiu Sui said, that is Ming Guifei, who has been kneeling there from the beginning to the present.
At this moment, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and Sun Di stepped forward with a group of loyal courtiers and asked nervously, "How is Your Majesty's injury?" β
An old lady doctor at the head wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead and said, "Your Majesty's life is fine, but you still need to recuperate." β
As soon as these words came out, those concubines cried out in relaxation at the same time, and they heard that on the other side of the square, the Ming Guifei was weak and fainted to the ground.
"Lord Sun, Your Majesty wants to see you." The old lady said, her eyes immediately turned around, and when she saw Chu Qiao, she suddenly said, "And this girl." β
For a while, all the ambiguous and weird eyes were condensed. Chu Qiao took a deep breath, stepped forward with a calm face, said hello to Sun Di, and walked into the main hall under everyone's gaze.
The hall was airtight, and it was full of a heavy smell of medicine. Sun Di went in first, and it took a long time before he came out, and said to Chu Qiao: "Your Majesty is not in good spirits, to make a long story short." β
"Understood." Chu Qiao nodded, walked into the inner hall, and through the layers of drapes, Li Ce lay on the dragon bed that could almost be called a huge dragon.
His complexion was indeed very bad, Chu Qiao had never seen him like this, his face was dead, his eye sockets were blue, and his lips were almost bloodless. He looked at her steadily, his gaze a little glazed. Just when Chu Qiao began to panic, he suddenly showed a strange smile, and said in a hoarse voice but in a relaxed tone: "Scared you to death." β
Time goes back, the years go back in an instant, they seem to have returned to the day when they first met, the young prince was pulled off his horse by her and punched hard, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he screamed "ouch ouch" and showed a strange smile at her, like a heartless disciple.
"Li Ce." She screamed in a trembling voice, only to see a deep cut across his chest, and it only took one more inch to pierce his heart. She looked at him fearfully, her scalp was numb, and she wanted to grab his hand, but she didn't dare, she just said repeatedly: "It's okay, take care of it slowly." β
"Originally," Li Ce said intermittently, "I originally wanted to prepare a dowry for you in the next few days, but now, I want to cheapen Sun Di's guy, I don't know...... I don't know if he will be corrupt. β
Chu Qiao forced a smile and said softly: "Don't worry, I'll go and watch him." β
"Hmm." He seemed to be very tired, and his face turned even paler after just saying these few words.
Chu Qiao hurriedly said, "You go to sleep first, don't talk anymore." β
"Jojo, stay with me."
"Okay." Chu Qiao nodded hurriedly, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to accompany you." β
Li Ce fell asleep deeply, during which the imperial doctor came to change the medicine for him. Chu Qiao saw the wound with his own eyes, and his doubts about his injury deepened, but now was not the time to deal with these things.
Three days later, Li Ce's injuries improved, and his face looked much better.
This morning, Chu Qiao was fanning him in the inner hall, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, she raised her eyebrows, Qiu Sui hurriedly ran in, leaned into her ear and whispered, "The Queen Mother has returned to the palace." β
Chu Qiao was startled and hurriedly walked out.
Before he left the door of Yixin, he saw the queen mother's phoenix coming. She greeted the Queen Mother, followed all the way back to the Yixin Palace. The maid lifted the curtain, the queen mother was dressed in a simple cyan single dress, Chu Qiao raised her head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked, but she hadn't seen her for a few years, but the queen mother seemed to have changed as a person, and she was so old that she couldn't look like her. His head was full of gray hair, deep wrinkles, and his eyes were almost sunken and red.
As soon as she got out of the sedan chair, tears flowed out, and she asked sadly, "Emperor? How is the Emperor? β
Just look at the refreshing one
