Chapter 221: Spring Hunting

Ye Shuhua still just looked at the pastry with her eyes down, but did not eat it.

The queen's face was obviously uneasy.

"What? Princess Qingya doesn't eat pastries, is she worried that the mourning family will poison you? The mourning family is the master of the harem, and he will be able to use this kind of indiscriminate means! ”

Ye Shuhua's eyes were secretive.

pursed her lips slightly: "The queen is angry, and the daughter-in-law doesn't mean this." ”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

After taking a bite, the pastry is soft and glutinous and sweet, which is no different from what you eat in China.

It's authentic.

When the queen saw that she had eaten, her face became pleasant.

After that, the queen didn't say anything embarrassed, just a few simple words, and let her go.

After she left, Mama Chang stepped forward to help the queen to the corridor in the courtyard, "Queen Mother, you just let her go?" ”

The queen sneered, "Don't worry, this matter has to be done slowly to achieve the effect." ”

"Moreover, no matter what you say, Shuo'er still has to rely on Liqi at this stage, so naturally she can't let them notice it."

Ye Shuhua returned to Yunyu Palace, and Li Zhen greeted something.

After checking left and right that she was fine, she said, "What did the queen call you?" ”

Ye Shuhua shook her head, "It's nothing, it just let me eat the pastry." ”

"Pastry? Can you eat it? Li is the best at using poison, what if the queen is poisoned? ”

Ye Shuhua's eyes were dark, and she whispered: "I was also suspicious at first, but I am the princess of Huaguo, and I came with my relatives, and it is impossible for the queen to kill me." As for whether there is poison in it, and what damage the poison has to do to your body, you have to check it. ”

As she spoke, the jade hand stretched out from her sleeve, and a piece of pastry was in her hand.

The weather is getting warmer, and there is no shortage of spring hunting banquets.

The four major families, Dongfang, Xizi, Nangong, and Beirong all held large and small spring hunting banquets.

The people of Li are brave and good at fighting, and even women are mostly hearty daughters.

The pastry was not found to be poisonous, although Ye Shuhua was puzzled, she didn't put too much effort into it.

In short, what the queen wants to do, she will always find out in the end.

Last time, I didn't go out on horseback with Liji, but I had an opportunity to go hunting on horseback in the woods.

In the past, the spring hunting banquet held by the four major families was not large, and it did not accommodate many people, so naturally there were not many people, and it was not lively enough.

This time, the four great families jointly organized such a spring hunt, and the three princes, including the three princes, were invited.

She and Li Zhen are naturally no exception.

This is the biggest spring hunt since the beginning of spring.

Spring hunting is not suitable for killing, most of them are dabbling in the form of taking a form and catching a few hares.

One side of the tent is for resting.

Ye Shuhua and Li Zhen sat in the tent, and Li Shuo was on the side.

Ye Shuhua was bored and played with the teacup in her hand, because she was bored, she delicately buttoned the carvings on the teacup.

Liguo tea sets like reliefs, and the carved lines are also cumbersome lines that she has never seen.

But it looked really good, and she counted how many lines there were while buckling it.

Next to his ears was Li Shuo and Li Zhen talking about the next plan to deal with the three princes.

Ye Shuhua didn't understand, why was he talking about these things so blatantly here, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear it?

Wouldn't it be better to go to Yunwei Palace and talk behind closed doors?

She had to accompany her, and she couldn't go horseback riding.

But she had just come up with this doubt, and Li Shuo answered it.

"I don't want to go to Yunwei Palace, and I don't want to ...... second palace You may have ears to discuss here, but my secret guards are all on guard, and no one can approach them, so I can rest assured. ”

Li Zhen's eyes were deep, and after a while, he nodded clearly, and did not ask the reason.

In fact, the reason is easy to guess.

"The son of the second prince was deposed by his father to Liyang City, he thinks he will not be a demon anymore, but it does not prevent him from taking refuge in the eldest prince and the third prince."

"I don't know much about these two men." He said again.

In his first life, he also returned to Huaguo not long after he was in Li, and then died.

I don't know much about the three princes.

After coming to the Li Kingdom, I heard about the three princes, but most of what I heard was false.

He was weak and had no energy because of the poison in his body, and after Ye Shuhua got married, he was just thinking about how to detoxify.

In addition, he only has one nine fish and no manpower, so naturally he can't know more about the true news about the three kings.

Ye Shuhua also listened with pricked up ears.

"The Second Emperor Uncle is the most stupid and unscrupulous of the three, but he has the power of the southern border in his hands. As you might guess, without his son, he will definitely take refuge in the eldest emperor uncle or the third emperor uncle. ”

"The eldest emperor uncle coordinates the cabinet, the second emperor uncle leads the dark cabinet, and the six ministries of the DPRK and the central government are also scattered with the two of them as the leader. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment are all the people of the Great Emperor's Uncle, and the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War are all the people of the Third Emperor's Uncle. ”

Li Zhen sneered, "They are evenly matched, and the court is clearly divided. No wonder you're so isolated. ”

His tone was flat, not sarcastic, but by no means pitiful to him.

Born in the family of the emperor, he is not entitled to be pitied.

Li Shuo's face was embarrassed, and he blinked, as if to justify.

"Their rivalry for the court began five or six years ago after they noticed that the royal family was thin, and at that time I was just a child, with no one behind me, how could I stop it, and there was no one of my own to put in."

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and nodded, but did not say anything more, and then motioned for him to continue.

"Uncle Huang has three sons, all of whom are literate and martial, one is in the army, and two are in literature, and he has met many outstanding students in Hanlin College, and his connections are basically in his hands."

"The third emperor uncle has only one son, but his one son can be worth three of the eldest emperor's uncle, serving as the commander of the secret cabinet in the palace, directly obeying his father's orders, he is a sharp blade, and he can have any power to execute and investigate officials in the court."

"The entire court is in their hands, my father's body is getting worse, although I have cultivated the secret guards, but the six departments of the court have been qualitative, and they can't be inserted at all. Second, the second brother, there is a good plan. ”

"In Huaguo, the man in black who secretly protects me, but yours?"

Li Shuo was still awkward to call his second brother just now, to be honest, he really couldn't shout, but he had to shout.

At this moment, I suddenly heard him say this.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

nodded, "At that time, I investigated your identity, but I got the news that you were the concubine of the Yin family, but because you were too similar to the eldest brother, the three imperial uncles also discovered you at that time, thinking that you were the second brother who had already died." I have left a confidant to protect you secretly. ”

"Thank you, without your secret guard's protection, I'm afraid I'm dead." Li Zhen thanked him with a straight face.

Li Shuo sounded even more awkward, there was nothing to thank for, if he knew that saving him would kill his eldest brother, he would definitely not save it.

But he just thought like that, didn't show it, and now he needs him.

"Does the second brother have a countermeasure?"

Li Zhen withdrew his eyes, and looked at Ye Shuhua, who had peeled melon seeds for a while, and his fingertips were red.

grabbed a handful of melon seeds and took a control plate, and began to peel it.

While looking down and peeling off, he said.

"If it's just for the eldest and third emperor uncles, no. However, the son of the second emperor uncle must be resentful in his heart because I was deposed to Liyang City, and he hates me to the core. ”

As he spoke, he had already peeled a handful of melon seeds, and then moved the plate to the side.

When Ye Shuhua saw it, she smiled happily, clapped her hands, took the handkerchief handed by Ji Cui, and began to eat melon seeds.

The melon seeds are salty and fragrant, crispy and delicious in the mouth.

I continued to listen to them.

Li Shuo saw it in his eyes, thinking that in Huaguo, he was so careful and considerate to her.

For a while, I was curious about the strange second brother in front of me.

The queen mother said that he designed to expose the identity of the eldest brother and killed the eldest brother, and he was ruthless.

The people he sent to Huaguo to investigate, and also came to the conclusion that when he knew his identity and the identity of his eldest brother, he resolutely arranged for his subordinates to expose the eldest brother, and finally killed the eldest brother.

He thought that he should be a ruthless, cold-blooded and cruel person.

But, if he is really such a person, how can he be gentle with one person alone?

A ruthless person shouldn't be hypocritical to anyone?

"So, let's not rush to make a move first, just wait for the second emperor uncle to make a move to tear the hole open little by little, and then start to make a move."

"Third brother, have you listened to me?"

Li Shuo turned around in a trance and nodded, "Then listen to the second brother." ”
