80. Still not defeated
After all, the person who is in charge of himself now, You'an didn't say anything, and he actually didn't think much of this sentence in his heart. In her opinion, He Jinshu called for wind and rain in front of Empress Wu, looking at the entire Hanliang Palace, and even the entire Daming Palace, anyone should be careful to look at her face, where would a person like her know how to write the word "aggrieved".
Shangguan Wan'er is not ruthless, unless necessary, she never easily grudges with people in Hanliang Palace, but she can just make You'an feel angry.
He Jinshu took down the ink block in her hand and put it aside: "You are unstable today, you don't have to be on duty anymore." In this mood, it is easiest to make impulsive decisions. She paused and sat down opposite You'an: "Do you know how I entered the palace?" β
You'an shook his head blankly, He Jinshu closed his eyes and thought about it: "It's been too long, I don't even remember." My husband was my father's student, and my daughter was just a year old at the time, because he was inexplicably involved in a major rebellion, and they all left me overnight. β
He Jinshu's voice was as cold and hard as she usually did, as if she was talking about other people's affairs: "At that time, I could choose to die, or enter the palace to become the lowliest slave, I chose the latter, because I had a naΓ―ve thought, as long as I kept getting close to the imperial power, one day, I could vindicate my relatives." β
You'an was stunned for a moment, and came back to her senses from her thoughts, she could guess that He Jinshu was probably also a family member of the criminal minister, but she never knew that she still had this past.
He Jinshu stared at an ink dot on the table and continued: "But when I really got closer and closer to the imperial power, I realized that the tragic experience that I will never forget for me, in the hearts of those who are in high positions, I don't remember anything at all. When the Emperor summoned me, he was not wary of me at all, for he did not remember how I had entered the palace. β
"When you're insignificant, you think people will laugh at you?" He Jinshu slowly raised his head and looked at You'an, his tone had become extremely stern, "Then you are wrong, others will not care about you at all." If you are still in this state tomorrow, you will soon make a mistake in front of the queen of heaven, even if it is the most insignificant mistake, it will not be more than three things, and the queen of heaven will expel you from the Inner Hongwen Pavilion, and everyone's eyes will only be staring at the new favorite around the queen, and no one will remember at all, and there is such a person as you. If you want to take a breath, let them see, who can have the last laugh and spin in place, what's the point? β
After saying this, no matter how much You'an listened, he waved her back.
You'an took a few steps, turned back, knelt down in front of He Jinshu, and kowtowed three times earnestly with the gift of a junior. No matter what her purpose was, if she was willing to use these words to wake her up at this time, You'an was truly grateful. Only the strong will have merit and wrong, and the weak will always be just a speck of dust.
At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er was outside the emperor's bedroom, staring at a few little scholars, stacking the documents neatly. The government has almost entirely been decided by the Queen of Heaven, but the Queen of Heaven will still send people regularly to present the selected important documents to the emperor for inspection. In fact, the emperor was already powerless to deal with these documents, and each time he just told them to take them back as they were. But the seemingly redundant little move of the Queen of Heaven just happened to maintain the situation of the two saints in the palace.
In the half-open palace door, Li Dan was sitting opposite his father, and the two were playing a game of chess, silently.
Affected by the head wind, the emperor's eyesight has also been greatly impaired, and the normal game is already a little difficult for him, Li Dan is just accompanying him to play some simple chess games. Li Zhi is not the kind of emperor with a full harem, but the heirs are not too withered, and now the only one who can come to accompany him from time to time is this youngest son.
"Axu Lun," the emperor called his young son's name, his face showing tiredness, "I have also wanted to do many things in my life, but unfortunately...... The first time I saw your mother, I knew that she was destined to be a shining woman, and I willingly disappeared in her light. It's just that...... The world is still too intolerant of capable women. β
Li Dan held a round white jade chess piece in his hand and listened silently. His father was really old, and sometimes when he talked like this, he would even call him by the wrong name, calling him "Xian'er" or "Hong'er", and once even regarded him as the first prince Li Zhong, who had already been deposed.
Thinking like this, the emperor spoke again: "You should go back and rest early, your queen mother...... Alas, you should understand her difficulties a lot, many things, she is also forced by the situation. β
Li Dan's eyes were slightly moved, I don't know who my father recognized him again, and it was said outside that the fifth brother Li Hong was forced to death by the queen of heaven, the sixth brother Li Xian had a quarrel with her, and the seventh brother Li Xian's concubine died because she was afraid of her mother-in-law's hunger strike...... He knew in his heart that these things were not so simple. But over the years, he really can't get close to this queen mother.
He stood up, dumped the pieces back into the bowl with a "bang", and exited the emperor's bedchamber.
When she walked out of the palace gate, Shangguan Wan'er, who originally had a cold face, suddenly became eager in her eyes. But Li Dan passed by her step by step as if he hadn't seen it.
Shangguan Wan'er's face quickly flashed a look of disappointment, and finally he was unwilling to catch up with him in a few steps: "Your Highness, that You'an, h2."
