162. Each has his own concerns
The queen mother was very indifferent to Xue Shao's murder: "If you die, you will die, and it is common for traitors to fear crime." But in a blink of an eye, she called Junchen to find out who sent the poison to prison.
According to You'an's thoughts, the first person she suspected was Princess Taiping, after all, before the incident, she was the only one who had met Xue Shao in private. But Princess Taiping once begged the Queen Mother so hard to leave her father for her children, how could she send Xue Shao to a dead end in a blink of an eye. There are many doubts about the matter, and it is impossible to justify it.
But soon, You'an knew that her assumption was wrong, because Princess Taiping came directly to her and asked her why she wanted Xue Shao to die.
You'an couldn't argue: "Princess, please think about it, Xue Fuma is dead, what good can it be for me, what is the use of me doing things that are not beneficial?" ”
Princess Taiping just sneered: "Whether it is good or not, you know it in your own heart." I still care about my brotherhood, and I do everything possible to please my mother, hoping that the throne of the starling brother can sit more stable, but I didn't expect that you would have calculated it early in the morning and would sell me as a favor. ”
These words were plausible, and You'an couldn't understand what she meant.
That little doubt was quickly diluted by the next turmoil, and someone picked up more than 900 people in Guanzhong, and they jointly played a concert, begging the empress dowager to ascend the throne as emperor. As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were shaken, and then hundreds of officials, clans, and even monks and others persuaded the queen mother one after another, imploring the queen mother to ascend the throne and become emperor.
Clear-eyed people know that this is the queen mother's cronies, secretly contacting and advocating, but the more this is the case, the more everyone does not dare to fall behind, and the call for persuasion is getting higher and higher.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Li Dan finally expressed his attitude to the Empress Dowager, asking the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne as emperor, and begging the Empress Dowager to give him the surname Wu.
In September of this year, the queen mother finally ascended the throne half-pushed, changed the country name to Zhou, and at the same time abolished Li Dan as the imperial heir. Li Dan and his wife and concubine still lived in the mansion, and could not go out easily without the permission of the empress, which was like house arrest.
You'an and Li Dan sat opposite each other in the small courtyard, staring at the small stove where the water was boiling, estimating that the water temperature was about the same, Li Dan lifted the purple sand pot on the stove, poured the water into several shallow tea cups in turn, shook it gently, and then poured it out.
Outside there has been a lot of talk because of this change of throne, Li Dan, who has just experienced the period in person, has a calm face as before, and his skills in cooking tea are becoming more and more skilled. After a while, several tea cups were filled with light golden tea soup, and he picked up a cup and sent it to You'an: "Try it, this spring tea needs to be just right in temperature and time to cook the best taste." ”
You'an was about to drink, and the red mud had already walked in and told Li Dan what he heard outside. The movement of the imperial heir was restricted, but the subordinates could enter and leave the mansion at will, so Hongni took the opportunity to buy and pay attention to the movements outside by the way.
The news brought back today was very unexpected to You'an, Princess Taiping got married for the second time, and this time her husband was the Wu family, and his name was Wu Youji. Needless to say, it is naturally also the empress's arrangement. Hongni deliberately told the story that this Wu Youji originally had a wife, but in order to marry Princess Taiping, the empress specially ordered his wife to be executed.
You'an tried his best to recall the martial arts family he had seen, but he couldn't think of such a person, who could get the favor of the empress and Princess Taiping, and he shouldn't be an ordinary man.
When Li Dan saw her contemplating and pondering, he knew what she was thinking, and smiled faintly: "Don't think about it, this person is already unknown, he is a rare honest person in the martial arts family, and he has no great achievements." ”
You'an sighed leisurely: "Then I can't figure it out, how could Her Majesty the Mother Empress be willing to marry Princess Taiping to such a mediocre person." ”
"The mother emperor has always wanted to marry Yue'er to the Wu family," Li Danchao filled the tea cup with warm tea, "This time the originally selected person is Wu Chenghei, this person has both means and is not as presumptuous as Wu Sansi, but his ambitions are not small, and he has been secretly persuading the mother emperor to make the nephew of the Wu family the crown prince." If Yue'er marries him, the situation will be even more unfavorable for Lonely. ”
You'an keenly caught something, and asked rhetorically, "So what happened to Wu Chenghe?" ”
"It's not good," Li Dan still smiled gently and calmly, "Gudu has been restricted from his freedom of movement, what else can he do, it's just that he is unlucky and has an untimely illness." ”
You'an's heart cooled inch by inch, Li Dan said it easily and casually, but she knew that this imperial heir, who was a little cowardly in the eyes of everyone, had actually not given up tightening the net in his hand, but his movements were extremely gentle, so as not to be discovered and unable to continue.
Wu Chenghe's "illness" is mostly the result of his actions and feet. Presumably so......
Although You'an was unwilling, he couldn't help but ask: "Xue Shao's poison, did you arrange it?" ”
Li Dan raised his eyes and saw You'an's face turning pale for a while, and only replied with one word briefly: "Yes." ”
Princess Taiping was moved by Xue Shao's true feelings, and in order to save his life, she knelt down and begged the empress. After pleading to no avail, he tried to see him again. Lee h2
