Chapter 65: Getting Out of Trouble
Concubine Li walked into the hall with a steady pace, looked at Murong Xi without squinting, and smiled kindly, "How is the princess?" β
She was looking at Murong Xi, and Murong Xi was also looking at her.
If it was a coincidence last time, then today's siege, it is difficult for Murong Xi not to think deeply.
Concubine Li helped her again and again, what kind of thoughts are behind it?
In the blink of an eye, Concubine Li had already walked in front of Murong Xi.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Concubine Li asked with concern, "Princess?" β
Murong Xi came back to her senses, shook her head lightly, and turned her head to look at the eldest prince with a defeated face.
The eldest prince was so angry that there was still residual pain in his chest, he had an idea, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and said weakly: "Where did I offend Sister Murong and force Sister Murong to fight me?" β
Murong Xi: "......" Who said that men don't understand the art of tea?
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows, and under the guidance of the eldest prince, she saw the slightest trace of blood on the corner of his lips.
glanced at Murong Xi suspiciously, Murong Xi's expression was still peaceful, and there was still a little scorn in his eyes.
Concubine Li laughed, "Yo, what's wrong with the eldest prince?" Do you want this palace to pass on the imperial doctor for you? β
"Concubine Li, it's the princessβ"
"What kind of wind brought my sister here? Why don't you come to Changchun Palace and find someone to spread the word about this palace? β
When the queen heard the wind, she rushed to see that the eldest prince and Murong Xi were standing there intact, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was angry at Concubine Li's uninvited.
"The Changchun Palace is the boundary where my sister will come and go?"
Concubine Li's face was always with a gentle smile, and she said to the queen: "See the queen's mother." β
She took a step closer to Murong Xi's side, invisibly showing her protection for Murong Xi, and explained softly:
"My sister went to visit the Queen Mother today, and I heard that the Queen Mother said that the princess was going out of the palace. The queen mother treats her sister well, and her sister can't serve her closely, but she always thinks about it in her heart. No, I heard that the princess was leaving, and my sister wanted to come and say a few polite words to the princess. β
The implication is that Concubine Li's visit was instructed by the Queen Mother.
The queen glanced at her with a gloomy face, and then saw the bloodshot on the corner of the eldest prince's lips, and after a moment of stunned, she walked anxiously to the eldest prince, holding his face with both hands and asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" Who did it to you? β
Murong Xi lowered her eyes, wiped away the sarcasm in her heart, and said faintly: "The eldest prince is unwell today, and the queen mother should summon the imperial doctor as soon as possible." β
The eldest prince held his breath and glared at Murong Xi angrily, "Sister Murong, how did my injury come about, you know better than anyone else, right?" β
When the queen heard the words of the eldest prince, she turned her head to look at Murong Xi, her eyes burning with scarlet anger.
"Is that you? How dare you? β
"Queen Mother!" Murong Xi raised her wrist and showed the blue and purple bruises on her wrist.
"My size is far from the eldest prince, and I was injured in my wrist before, how can I hurt the eldest prince?"
The queen's expression froze, and then she looked back at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince pursed his lips.
The bruise on his wrist was caused by him.
Murong Xi has been in Cining Palace, whether she is injured or not, the Queen Mother must know.
If you make a big deal and investigate it carefully, it is true that no one has good fruit to eat.
Since Murong Xi didn't have the intention of making a big fuss, the eldest prince could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
He sighed, "The queen mother has nothing to do with Sister Murong. β
Concubine Li saw the stitches and said to the queen gently: "Sister, let's call the imperial doctor to take a look, the disease of vomiting blood can be big or small!" As for the princess, she will be escorted out of the palace by her sister! β
The queen glared at the two of them angrily, and things couldn't be done today.
However, she was not worried that Murong Xi would tell the matter.
There is no physical evidence, and just relying on Murong Xi's own words, it is a frame-up of the emperor's heir.
She flicked her sleeves and said coldly: "Concubine Li has a heart, but the palace didn't know that Concubine Li's filial piety to the Queen Mother was so deep, but the palace underestimated Concubine Li." β
After that, she said to Murong Ji meaningfully: "What this palace said before, Ji'er will go back and think about it, and this palace will wait for good news." β
Murong Xi didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and she wasn't at all interested in what the queen said.
scribbled farewell to the queen and left Changchun Palace with Concubine Li.
"Thank you, mother."
Murong Xi was sure that Concubine Li knew about her situation in Changchun Palace just now and rescued her from the crisis, Murong Xi said gratefully: "Actually, Niangniang doesn't have to offend the queen because of me. β
The queen's hand never reached out to the regent's palace, as long as she patted her ass and left, the queen and the eldest prince could only endure it no matter how unwilling they were.
Concubine Li is different.
If you look up and don't look down with the queen, the queen will inevitably give her trouble in the future.
Concubine Li paused and smiled, "The princess is serious, this palace did go to Cining Palace to visit the queen mother." β
"But when I was in Cining Palace, I didn't say that I wanted to come to Changchun Palace." Murong Ji was grateful, and looked at Concubine Li with deep eyes.
"Thinking about it, my friendship with Niangniang is still shallow, Concubine Li's mother helped me so much, is there something to find me?"
Murong Xi's straightforward question made Concubine Li's expression pause slightly.
"Why does the princess ask?" Concubine Li frowned slightly, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "Maybe she has a relationship with the princess." β
Concubine Li has no children under her knees, and her ancestral family is still far away, so it is pointless to compete for power.
Murong Xi knew something about this, so she never classified Concubine Li as a queen.
If you talk about fateββ
It's somewhat far-fetched.
However, Concubine Li chose not to talk about it, and Murong Xi always asked after her.
She pondered for a moment, seeing that Concubine Li's face was a little restrained, she stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang is uncomfortable?" β
Concubine Li put down her hand and smiled embarrassedly, "It's just a head disease, it's an old problem, it's not in the way." Let's go, the palace will send the princess out of the palace. β
Concubine Li took the lead and walked in the direction of the palace gate, far away from the Changchun Palace, her voice came faintly.
"There are some things that should not be said in the palace, and please don't take it to heart after hearing it."
Murong Xi walked side by side with her and glanced at her slightly.
Concubine Li continued to stare at the court path ahead, "The princess is still young and doesn't know the cruelty of the deep palace. Now that you're out, try not to come back. β
Murong Xi: "What about Niangniang?" β
"Me?" Concubine Li naturally changed her self-title, which made Murong Xi feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
She raised her eyes and sighed, "I can't get out anymore, the only thing I can do is to survive here." β
Murong Xi felt more and more transparent in her thoughts, I am afraid that no one in the entire harem can match.
She said tentatively: "Niangniang's words, I take them to heart. If my mother can trust me, can you let me see my mother's head disease? β
"The princess knows how to heal?" Concubine Li's face was surprised.
Murong Xi smiled, "Maybe you have been sick for a long time and become a doctor." β
"I'm sick with an old problem, and many doctors have seen it." Concubine Li calmly stretched out her hand, and did not shy away from Murong Xi.
Murong Xi put her fingertips on Concubine Li's veins, and after a few breaths, her eyes drooped.
It was exactly what she thought.
Concubine Li has no children, which is artificial.
What she can't figure out is that this "person" is someone else, or Concubine Li herself!
