Yongding Mausoleum was still so quiet and solemn, Di Qing followed Ling Yun and walked quickly through the long corridor, and the stone statues on both sides looked at the two of them with solemn faces.

In the west side hall of the Xiandi Zhenzong Xiang Palace, they saw the person they wanted to see - Concubine Li Chen, who was already terminally ill.

"Jingshu!" Ling Yun saw Concubine Li Chen lying quietly on the bed, as if she was dead, she walked two steps quickly to the side of the bed, and grabbed Concubine Li Chen's hand.

Concubine Li Chen, whose face was bloodless, opened her eyes and looked at Ling Yun, her pupils widened and gradually returned to their original state, and she squeezed out a few words angrily, "Sister Lingyun!" ”

Ling Yun sat on the edge of the bed and cried, "I should have come to see you earlier, I didn't expect you to be in such a situation!" ”

Concubine Li Chen smiled slightly, as if the warm weather was accidental in winter, "What's the difference between morning and night?" I can see my sister for the last time, I am already content! ”

"Good sister, my hard-working sister!" Ling Yun held Concubine Li Chen's hand a little tighter.

"Don't say that, I'm already content. My sister took care of me in many ways, I kept it in mind, I have no chance to repay in this life, I will be a cow for a horse in the next life and repay my sister's kindness! ”

"You don't blame me? Oh no, it's me who is sorry for you! Ling Yun cried like a tearful person, she was not pretending, but crying from the bottom of her heart, for Li Jingshu's fate, and for her own fate!

Time seems to go back to thirty years ago, and the two of them were bought into the house as maids by a noble lady at the same time, and the noble lady was approachable and treated her very well.

Strange to say, the lady was very rich and noble, and was not short of money, but the man of the house did not come back once for several months, and every time he came back it was in the middle of the night, and by the time dawn he was gone.

Finally, one day, a holy decree came to the house, and the lady was made a concubine, and the two maids also entered the palace together and lived in the Zhurui Pavilion. Only then did they know that this lady was the emperor's outer residence.

But life in the palace is not as good as outside the palace, there is no freedom at all, and even lives in intrigue and fear every day. They saw their master grow more and more emaciated and silent.

The new beauty in the palace is named Shen Yu, who is said to be gentle and beautiful, and is only fifteen years old.

Madame Liu E told the two maids what happened to her when she was fifteen.

That year, she was just a drum girl who sang when she met His Majesty, who was then King Han, and they fell in love at first sight. However, King Han's family did not agree with the lowly Liu E to enter the door, so they blasted her out.

Since then, she has been the wife of the prince's house as a noble lady.

King Han rose all the way, became the crown prince, became the emperor, he did not forget the old love, and still took her into the palace.

But the days in the palace made her feel depressed, and made her feel more painful than outside the palace.

She is thirty-six years old, and she can no longer continue the heirs for the emperor, and the old and decrepit concubines will no longer receive holy favor. The imperial concubine who seems to outsiders to be incomparably beautiful is just the emperor's old clothes, which will not be taken out and worn again when placed in the cabinet, and will not be remembered again.

"You'll help me, won't you?" Concubine De asked her two personal maids with a sincere expression, "You are the people I brought in from outside the palace, and you are the people I trust the most and the only one I can count on!" ”

"Yes, Niangniang, since the official family remembered the old love and took you into the palace, they will not ignore you." Ling Yungui persuaded Liu E to say.

"I have a way to regain the Holy Grace, but I must rely on you both!"

The two nodded blankly,

Then they were dragged into one conspiracy after another.

That night, the official Zhao Heng stayed in Concubine De's Zhurui Pavilion, not for Concubine De's mother, but for the palace maid Li beside her to get favor.

"You've been following Concubine De? Why didn't I notice you before? You're such a cute and timid girl. The official Zhao Heng hugged the beauty in his arms and said with a smile.

Li Shi was trembling all the time, and she had no idea how to answer the emperor's question.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zhao Heng was a gentle emperor.

Li blushed and shook his head, snuggled in the arms of the official family and refused to speak, and the little bird looked like a human.

"What's your name?" Zhao Heng asked again.

"Lian'er." Li's voice was delicate, and he said very softly.

Zhao Heng shook his head, "This name is not good. He thought for a moment, "Jing Shu - Jing Nu Qishu." You're so gentle and demure that it's fitting for the name. ”

"Thank you for the name!" Li Jingshu smiled shyly.

After that night, the official family went to Zhurui Pavilion more often, and Concubine De's laughter also increased.

Soon, Li Jingshu gave birth to a princess for the official family, named Kexin, and the Li family was named Shunrong. She was not ungrateful, did not move out of Zhurui Pavilion, but has always been attached to Concubine De to live. And this princess nominally became the daughter of Concubine De.

"Jingshu, you must give birth to a prince for the official family." Liu E said solemnly to Li Jingshu.

Li Jingshu nodded indifferently, although she was timid and cautious, she was a smart and thoughtful person, she secretly felt that her fate was like a marionette, where could she say a "no"?

Soon after, Empress Guo died of illness, and Concubine Liu E was promoted to queen and moved into the Kunning Palace, and the power in the palace was in the hands of Empress Liu E. The official family was not in good health and was often sick, and even the political affairs of the previous dynasty were slowly handed over to her to deal with.

On that day, Liu E went to Funing Hall to ask for peace after handling political affairs, but she was overwhelmed by tricky political affairs and was in a very bad mood.

She wanted to go to the official family to complain, but she saw the sick official family holding the two-year-old princess Kexin, snuggling and chatting with Li Shunrong with a smile. They enjoyed the joy of family like a family, and Liu E felt unspeakable grievances and sourness in her heart.

It was she who matched them, but at this time she was treated as an outsider, she could tolerate her opponents, but she couldn't see her confidants show affection in front of her.

She wanted Li Jingshu to get close to the official family and prolong the heirs for the official family, but she didn't want to see her really snatch her husband.

Liu E quietly withdrew from the Funing Palace, but that scene was deeply imprinted in Liu E's heart.

Later, the sensitive Li Jingshu found that Queen Liu E was becoming more and more alienated from herself, and she was always harsh on herself for some small things. She is also on the defensive, no longer dependent and submissive everywhere.

The cold wind after the autumn made the princess feel cold, and Li Shunrong, who was conceived again, lived in Shicuixuan.

A month later, Li Jingshu went to visit the princess, but found that the princess's illness not only did not recover, but became more serious. Pregnant women are already fragile and sensitive, and Li Jingshu hugged the princess and cried.

Ling Yun hurriedly came up and persuaded, "Li Shunrong, what's wrong?" You can't cry like this when you're pregnant with a prince. ”

Li Jingshu didn't know where she got the courage, so she knelt and crawled beside Queen Liu E: "Queen Mother, you must take care of the little princess, he will be yours when you get the prince in the future, can you give me back Kexin?" ”

Liu E glared

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

asked, "Do you blame me for not taking good care of the little princess, or do you blame me for robbing your child?!" ”

Li Jingshu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't mean that!" As he spoke, he trembled and began to cry.

Ling Yun hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Don't be angry, Sister Jingshu has no other meaning, she will obey all the arrangements of the mother." She said to Li Jingshu again: "Sister, did you say?" ”

Li Jingshu cried and nodded.

"That's the best, don't forget who brought you into the palace!" Liu E angrily flicked the sleeves of her robe and went out.

Li Jingshu hugged Ling Yun and cried, "Sister, what should I do?" Sister, you help me take care of Kexin! ”

Ling Yun also cried and said, "Sister, don't worry, the princess will be fine." You are still pregnant with the prince, you must not be sad, you will have many children in the future! ”

Ling Yun felt very uncomfortable, she deceived Li Jingshu, because the Imperial Medicine Institute had just come to consult the little princess, saying that she might not survive the winter.

The mandate of heaven is indeed not controlled by manpower, the little princess has a high fever all the time, although the queen Liu E and the official Zhao Heng come to guard her every day, and the imperial doctors of the imperial medicine hospital also take turns to guard her, the little princess still died.

When the news reached Li Shunrong's Shicuixuan, she cried to death. If Ling Yun hadn't come to take care of her personally, Li Jingshu would have almost miscarried.

This incident made Queen Liu E very angry, and the gap between Li Jingshu and Liu E became bigger and bigger.

Because of the princess's hearty departure, the official Zhao Heng also had a serious illness. Zhao Heng, who is already forty-five years old, can't stand watching his child die before him again and again.

Queen Liu E took on all the burdens of the harem, gritted her teeth and did not show weakness in front of anyone.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the official family has never had children, and some people in the DPRK and China have started crooked ideas.

Some people suggested that the official family should learn the "ancestral system" of Taizu and inherit the throne of Taizong, and that Zhao Yuanyan, the eight kings in his prime, should be the emperor's younger brother and could inherit the unification in the future.

The eighth king, Zhao Yuanyan, has been staying in the palace on the grounds of serving his brother. He heard about Li Shunrong and came to visit him personally.

Zhao Yuanyan said to Li Jingshu: "Shun Rong is so gentle, not like that one," he pointed to the sky, and continued: "Not like that one who is harsh and domineering." ”

Li Jingshu sat on the bed with her stomach straight, her eyes a little dull. "Don't say that from the Eight Kings."

She should take good care of the child who robbed Shunrong, and she was crowned queen by the blessing of the princess, but she didn't know how to cherish the blessing. Now that the little princess is gone, she will come again to rob Shunrong's child, can you allow her to bully her again and again? ”

Li Jingshu's tears flowed down unconsciously, she shook her head and resisted, "Don't say it anymore!" ”

Zhao Yuanyan continued mercilessly: "Li Shunrong won't let me say it, but she may not do it. I have a way to let Shunrong keep the child, if the prince has to ascend to the throne in the future, you are the queen mother, she Liu E can't stop you, can't stop the prince from calling you a mother! ”

Li Jingshu didn't believe it, she asked the maid to invite Zhao Yuanyan out. But Zhao Yuanyan persevered and came to visit Li Shunrong every few days.

Eventually, she faltered.

Yes, Liu E is the queen of the main palace, and she will be the queen mother in the future, if she can also be the queen mother as the emperor's biological mother, she is not a betrayal of the master, but she has more benefits for herself, why doesn't she want it?

However, she is still too simple.
