Chang Anqing

Chapter 293
As night fell gradually, the dark blue starry sky quietly shrouded the Daming Palace. Only the last thin gray clouds remained between the sky and the mountains and rivers, competing with the little stars in the distance.

The majestic Lizheng Palace is quiet and quiet at the moment, just at the entrance the palace people are guarding the porch as usual, listening to the slight breeze blowing through the hibiscus trees, listening to the rustling and neighing of grasshoppers at a corner of the palace wall.

When they looked up, they saw a figure rushing towards this side in a hurry. When they leaned over a little to look, they were surprised to see that the usually steady princess was trotting all the way with her skirts up, until In front of the corridor, one could even feel the anxiety on her face, the strong ups and downs of her chest, and the chaotic breath that was too late to calm down.

"I want to see Your Highness—"

Knowing that the matter must be urgent, the maids outside the corridor did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took orders to enter the palace, but came out again after a while, respectfully crossed their hands and saluted: "Crown Princess, Your Royal Highness calls you into the palace."

Hearing this, Baoying nodded hastily, and immediately anxiously crossed the threshold of the palace, bypassing the screen gate all the way to Empress Li.

At this moment, Empress Li changed into light regular clothes, and was looking at the daily life records of the emperor for the past few days on the soft pillow of the Hu bed, and said to Yin Niang, who was serving beside her, "This Jiang talent is really A rare person, since he entered Yeting, the grace and favor he has received has almost surpassed that of Concubine De."

After listening to Empress Li's words, Yin Niang, who was carefully adding fragrance, smiled, and quietly approached and said, "I heard that Concubine De is often angry because of this Jiang talent, but the sage always protects her." , Concubine De can only be a tiger eating the sky, and has no way of clawing."

"The people who were in the Zichen Palace in the previous dynasty were all punished, but she was the only one who was able to stay, but now the scenery is infinite. If it weren't for some tricks, how could things be done?"

Hearing Queen Li's words, Yinniang nodded in agreement.

It turned out that Empress Li and the Jiang talent she was talking about were not someone else. It was when Emperor Yuancheng of the Zhou Dynasty was in power that the emperor made an exception and was promoted to be a servant of the Zichen Palace. The beauty, Jiang Lihua.

When today's son Yang Chongyuan ascended the throne as the emperor, when he sealed the middle palace and promoted the old man who served in the Taiwei's mansion, he silently promoted the former Jiang Shizhao to be a fifth-grade talent.

If a little female official was promoted to a fifth-rank woman, if it wasn't covered up by the high-ranking concubines such as Concubine Virtue and Concubine Xian, this would be enough to shock many people.

And this Jiang Shizhao is worthy of being the emperor's servant, and he is also a rare smart person. As a former female official, she not only overwhelms the court with her beauty, but also has both talents and virtues. Serving Empress Li day and night, and being able to give thousands of respects to Concubine Cao Xian who has been neglected in front of the door, and often going to the Lingqi Hall of Xian Concubine to listen to the good and bad Concubine Xian. All the maids in the palace could feel her kindness and accommodating.

Such a person is either a simple-minded person who has nothing to do with the world.

Or, it is a person who has no desires, no desires, and no desires.

"Then Your Highness—"

Hearing Yinniang's temptation, Empress Li waved her hand casually, put aside her daily necessities, and said calmly: "Stupid people have foolish ways, and smart people have smart ways. Jieyu Liu has never been liked by the emperor." , It is of little use today, but it is just tasteless, but this Jiang Cairen who comes from a humble background and has nothing to rely on, still catches my eyes."

"Your Highness wants to use her again, to restrain Concubine De and Concubine Xian?"

Empress Li snorted and chuckled when she heard the words, and said calmly: "Concubine Xian is getting older, childless, and has lost all her mind, so she can only stay in Yeting for the rest of her life. As for Concubine De's son, King Yue, It's a useless embroidered pillow, what can you expect from him, and Rong An will marry Turkic soon—"

"However, what you said is not completely unreasonable. One more caution and one more guarantee. Jiang Cairen does not need you or me to win over her. She is a smart person who can see the current situation clearly and knows what to do and what not to do. what."

Otherwise, if she wins Jiang over, how could Yang Chongyuan not know.

Instead, a chess piece was lost.

At this moment, when she heard hurried footsteps approaching, Empress Li remained silent and looked over with Yinniang.

Seeing Baoying, Empress Li said kindly and easy-goingly, "Why are you here now?"

"Auntie—"

Before Empress Li could call out, Baoying knelt down anxiously and said, "His Majesty the Crown Prince was punished by His Majesty to kneel in Fengxian Hall, begging Aniang to save him—"

"what?"

Before Baoying finished her sentence, Empress Li suddenly stood up, almost frowning, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty punished Erlang to kneel?"

"Why?"

At this moment, not to mention Empress Li, even Yinniang at the side was amazed.

Not to mention what happened in the past, Erlang Yang Yan is now the crown prince of a country after all, the prince of Xing Dynasty. How could His Majesty suddenly impose such a punishment that hurts the face of the East Palace?

"My son went to inquire about it, but the palace servants only said that His Highness's words offended His Majesty—"

Seeing Baoying shaking her head anxiously and worriedly, as if she was about to cry, Empress Li's heart also tugged.

At this moment, Gong'e who was guarding outside also hurried in, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, someone from Zichen Palace just sent a letter."

Empress Li's eyes froze when she heard the words, and she said, "Bring it quickly."

When Yinniang walked over, the palace lady hurriedly handed a small piece of paper to her eyebrows, and when Yinniang took it and handed it to Empress Li, the palace lady had already left.

In the silence, Empress Li opened the note, and after seeing the words on it, she clenched her hands tightly and couldn't help but sat down.

"Your Highness—"

"Auntie!"

Seeing Baoying and Yinniang rushing up to help her, Empress Li's heart was beating like a drum. She waved her hand and rubbed the paper in her hand, speaking in a low voice. He murmured helplessly: "This kid, Erlang, is always so kind that he doesn't care about himself—"

"Your Highness."

Hearing Yinniang's careful inquiry, Empress Li handed them the note in her hand, and when Baoying saw it, she also felt a shock in her head.

Almost instantly, she understood everything.

It turns out that from the very beginning, someone was designing Erlang and the East Palace.

It was she who killed him—

is her--

"Quick, hurry up and summon Ah Man!"

Hearing Empress Li's anxious words, Yinniang said anxiously and embarrassedly: "But it's so late, I'm afraid—"

"Take my token and go quietly to the Palace of the Imperial Mausoleum and tell her the matter yourself."

After hearing the sound, Yinniang didn't think about it any more, and immediately took the order to retreat. Looking at her back, Empress Li sat on the bed with her hands tightly clenched, but her eyes were dark and hard to see.

When Yinniang hurriedly rushed to Yuling Palace quietly, it was already the time when the palace gate was about to be locked, so she hurried all the way to Li Sui and his wife. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

When Empress Li's token was handed in, Li Sui guessed that something had happened, otherwise, my aunt would not have sent someone to drive it out at such a late hour, so she didn't disturb too much when she greeted her. Only Zhao Yi was with her, and Zong Ming and Nian Nu were guarding the door.

Seeing Yinniang coming in person at this moment confirmed her thoughts even more.

"What's the matter with my aunt, but it's okay to say."

Hearing what Li Sui said, Yinniang nodded, and immediately approached Li Sui and Zhao Yi nervously and said, "Tonight, for some reason, His Royal Highness heard that His Majesty quietly ordered the guards of the Chen royal family in the former dynasty to guard against those royal families. A chronic poison has been placed in the daily diet—”

As soon as this remark came out, even Zhao Yi was a little surprised, but Li Sui's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to listen to Yinniang's words: "Your Highness is kind, and he actually presented himself to His Majesty, begging His Majesty to let the Chen family go, and treat him lightly." His words offended His Majesty, and His Majesty has punished him to go to the Fengxian Hall to kneel down and pay homage to his ancestors, and his reflection has passed."

Hearing this, Li Sui naturally understood. Although this incident happened suddenly, it was not surprising. How could she not understand Yang Yan's temperament? Traveling with Le Ji during the funeral will cause disputes between Yang Yan and Yang Chongyuan.

What's more, knowing these pickled chores.

In the midst of this flash, Li Sui thought of the strangeness of Baoying on the shooting field today, and gradually developed some clues in his heart.

It's no coincidence that there is no book, I'm afraid that today's event was promoted by someone.

And there are not many people who can accurately judge Yang Yan's temper in this way, and even guess his reaction.

"Yin Niang, report back to Auntie for me, there is no need to worry too much about this matter."

Hearing Li Sui's relaxed words, Yinniang couldn't help being surprised and said: "Princess, is there a countermeasure?"

Hearing this, Li Sui put a smile on his lips and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Since Erlang saved a life, it was not a mistake, so why should we take countermeasures?"

"princess--"

Seeing the puzzlement on Yinniang's face, Li Sui smiled slyly in his eyes, and calmly said: "Don't worry, Auntie, this matter is a secret matter, His Majesty will certainly not want others to know, this is his weakness."

Seeing the flash of light in Yinniang's eyes, the smile on Li Sui's lips became more relaxed and calm.

"So once it is made public and there is chaos under His Majesty, we can use our strengths to fight. When the time comes, blessings will be overcome by misfortunes, and misfortunes will be relied on by blessings. Who will know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Yinniang suddenly became enlightened, and immediately took orders to return to Daming Palace before being locked.

"This matter is openly against the emperor, you have already thought about who will do it?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Li Sui Xing smiled, turned to look at Zhao Yi and said, "You are the one who knows me."

"For this matter, there is naturally a suitable leader."
