first princess

Chapter 258: Wisdom Fighting the Demon Concubine (2)
Shui Linglong pointedly said: "But Xun Feng is not a member of Pingnanhou's mansion. Besides, what are those entanglements in the face of interests?" Not only that, I am afraid that even Shui Chenxiang has returned to Xun Feng's camp. A man's ability to win people's hearts is really not blown out.

Guo Yan sat back on the chair thoughtfully, "After all, I have recovered my memory."

Shui Linglong got up and walked to the desk, opened the drawer and began to look for the booklet.Guo Yan looked at her and asked again: "By the way, why has the Yan family army remained silent? Before the onset of the disease, the emperor issued two edicts in succession, ordering me to guard the capital, and Zhuge Yu to go to Kunshan to dispatch troops. Why didn't he call Yan?" Enter King Jingqin?"

"If I'm right, it's not that the emperor didn't call, it's that the messenger didn't leave the capital alive." Shui Linglong handed the booklet to Guo Yan, "This is the account book that Zhuge Yu stole from Xun Feng, how many more can you send?" People protect them, and Xun Feng will want to kill them if he can't control them."

Guo Yan took it, and Shui Linglong said again: "By the way, you can contact someone for me."

In November, the domestic war was tense. Zhuge Yu and the third prince fought and killed from the capital to the south. The third prince occupied land in the south of the Yangtze River and became king. Under the banner of opposing Concubine Li and saving Yunli, he organized a group of Another batch of rebels fought tenaciously against the imperial army.Considering that most of them are common people who have been deceived, Zhuge Yu did not carry out a bloody massacre of them, mostly by outsmarting them.What puzzled the soldiers the most was that the weird weather they encountered along the way was simply beyond ordinary cognition, such as blizzard, hail, smog, sunny thunder and lightning... Many literati and poets wrote it into scripts and dramas, sang it among the people, and gradually Nowadays, there are more and more legends about Zhuge Yu, and even many old people mentioned him with a touch of legend in their words.Of course, this is for another day.

When the war in the south was in full swing, the current situation in the capital was also intensified. Even though Bing Bing came forward to confirm the status of Concubine Li, but as Yun Li and the queen mother did not show up for longer and longer, the voices in the court questioning Concubine Li reappeared. Concubine Li executed two vassal ministers with iron and blood, which temporarily shocked everyone.

On this day, Shui Linglong took the winter clothes sewn by the No. [-] Embroidery Building to Qingyou Courtyard, "There are your concubine's, brother Hao's, children's, and four sets..." At this point, Shui Linglong paused.

Leng Youru touched the fiery red Liu Guangjin, and said softly: "I see, I'll send someone to Qingluan Residence later."

"Thank you, Concubine Mu." Shui Linglong bowed her body, "I'm planning to go to the palace, I ordered them to come to you for the affairs in the palace, and disturb your rest."

Leng Youru took a deep look at Shui Linglong and said, "Take Cen'er away."

Shui Linglong was a little surprised, Cen'er is highly skilled in martial arts, not inferior to Zhuge Yu's Xiaowei, having Cen'er by her side is equivalent to having a safe amulet, Leng Youru must have guessed that she entered the palace The purpose is not simple, so I want to help her, but this time, she really doesn't need to bring Cen'er.

Shui Linglong smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Concubine Mother, for your kindness. It is enough to have a special guard to escort me. Cen'er will stay here to help Concubine Mother handle the household affairs of the house so that Concubine Mother does not have to worry about it. If there is any need for Concubine Cen in the future place, I will speak."

Leng Youru lowered her eyes to drink the milk and didn't say anything else.Shui Linglong sent her brother and sister to the old matriarch's yard and then went to the palace.

Concubine Li forbids anyone to visit the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress, but she did not say that no one is allowed to visit others. The one Shui Linglong wants to see today is Aunt Shui Chenxiang.The last time Yun Li handed over Shui Chenxiang to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager beat her [-] times severely, and pinned her hand and foot sticks, and now more than a month has passed, and she is still paralyzed on the bed.At least, when Shui Linglong entered the Qingfeng Hall of the Supreme Harmony Palace, she was like this.

"Blessings, Aunt." Shui Linglong looked at Shui Chenxiang on the bed who was as energetic as a silk, and bowed politely.

When Shui Chenxiang heard Shui Linglong's words, she slowly opened her eyes, and stared at Shui Linglong in annoyance, you know, her injury was thanks to Zhuge Yu, if Zhuge Yu hadn't forced Yun Li to punish Fang Gui and Dowager People in Fangdian, why did she suffer torture?She seemed to have completely forgotten that if she didn't die, she wouldn't die, and everything was just her own fault.Of course, as she who has always been good at disguising her emotions, she suddenly did not hide her anger, which made Shui Linglong squint her eyes.

Shui Linglong didn't invite her to sit down, as if she didn't care much about Shui Chenxiang's resistance, she said with a slow smile: "I brought the special golden sore medicine from the mansion, the effect is very good, aunt accepts it with a smile." Then, she handed the medicine in her hand to Shui Linglong Chen Xiang, Shui Chen Xiang didn't reach out to pick it up, so she put it on the bedside table.

Shui Chenxiang turned away from her, "Are you kidding me? Don't you think it's too late? The worst embarrassment of this palace is over!"

Shui Linglong was not led by Shui Chenxiang, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, I will send some New Year gifts."

"Don't be hypocritical! Don't forget, you have harmed me and I have harmed you not once or twice. You act so filial, others may really think that we are so affectionate!"

"Isn't this bad? Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. Why should aunt indulge in hatred and spend the rest of her life in it?"

Shui Chenxiang snorted disdainfully, "If there's nothing else to do, just leave the gift and leave quickly. Seeing you and my wounds will hurt for a few more days!"

Shui Linglong's meaningful eyes swept across the autumn-colored quilt embroidered with osmanthus branches, hundreds of flowers and bird patterns, "This medicine is very effective, I will apply it for my aunt."

Shui Chenxiang said angrily: "Come on! I'm tired and need to rest, please leave!"

Shui Linglong smiled faintly, "Auntie used to have a good temper, how can she get angry so easily now? Could it be because she misses the Twelve Princes too much? Yes, if it were me, I would be anxious all day long. Although my biological mother is not as good The adoptive mother grows up because the children have no choice. If it is possible, who would not want to grow up happily under the blessing of the biological mother? I just passed by the Hall of Supreme Harmony when I heard the sound of a baby crying. I wonder if it is the Twelve Princes. "

There are three princes who have not reached the crown in total in the Hall of Supreme Harmony: the seventh prince, 12 years old, the son of the queen mother; the eleventh prince, five years old, the son of the original concubine De; He was raised by Shui Lingyue, but the Supreme Emperor took him to the Empress Dowager's bedroom before leaving the palace.

Shui Chenxiang's complexion changed after listening to Shui Linglong's words. She turned her head and faced Shui Linglong again, "The Twelve Princes are crying? Have you entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Shui Linglong shook her head, "No, I heard it when I passed by. If my aunt is worried, you can go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see the Twelve Princes. With the friendship between my aunt and Concubine Li, it must not be a problem to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Shui Chenxiang lowered her eyes and remained silent.Shui Linglong seemed very surprised, "Oh! Could it be...Could it be that Concubine Li has become a supervisor of the country, but she doesn't even give you a chance to reunite with the Twelve Princes? Oh my god, this is really... ...so unfair!"

Shui Chenxiang's hands buried in the quilt tightly grabbed the sheets.Shui Linglong didn't let go of any expression on her face, making sure that she was a little emotional, and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, how does Concubine Li get to power, God knows, you know, I know. I have no proof Overthrowing Concubine Li is just a pity for my aunt, you both serve Xun Feng together, why can't you even see your own son when she is the supervisor of the country?"

Shui Chenxiang's heart skipped a beat, it was hard to believe that such a crazy and bold conclusion would come out of Shui Linglong's mouth.How could she associate herself with Xun Feng?She never revealed that she had a private relationship with Xun Feng.In fact, she only found out after Concubine Li entered the palace that the boss behind the Ruixue Villa was actually Xun Feng, and the mysterious person she had been working with many years ago was also Xun Feng, but she absolutely could not admit this!Shui Chenxiang bit her lips, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know Xun Feng at all..."

Shui Linglong watched Shui Chenxiang acting, really tired for her.Shui Linglong fixed her eyes, and said in a breath: "Auntie, I have no proof, don't worry that I will expose you. In fact, you have recovered a long time ago, but you deliberately put on an appearance of being too weak and unable to get out of bed, so as to excuse you This elution has framed the suspicion of the Queen Mother being 'ill'!"

Shui Chenxiang's complexion changed again and again!Shui Linglong sighed: "Auntie, you have an ostrich mentality, do you know that? When you encounter danger, you plunge into the sand, deceiving yourself and others that no one can see you."

Shui Chenxiang almost vomited blood, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Shui Linglong shrugged, "I want to say that you are not worthy of being a qualified mother. Knowing that the Twelfth Prince is in a difficult situation, you hypnotize yourself all day long, 'My Twelve is doing well, and the Queen Mother will treat him kindly'. Auntie , The Queen Mother has been 'sick' by you, and now it is Concubine Li who is 'treating' him well! Concubine Li can use the little princess to control the queen, and in the future she can also use the twelve princes to control you."

"Don't scare me!" Concubine Li growled.

A glimmer of light flashed across Shui Linglong's eyes, and she quickly smiled and said, "Am I alarmist? Auntie, feel free to ask Concubine Li to see if she will return the Twelve Princes to you. You must have agreed to cooperate with them at the beginning. Apart from getting out of the cold palace, the proposed conditions also include the custody of the Twelve Princes! In the past, there were empress dowagers and emperors oppressing, and Concubine Li could not be the master. Now Concubine Li rules the six palaces and dominates the court. You dragged it out and killed two of you. Your little long-cherished wish couldn't be easier for her! Finally, I reminded my aunt, don't forget how you got into the cold palace in the first place, if Xun Feng could give up on you once, I can give up on you twice! After all, you know too many secrets, and only the dead can keep them forever!"

Shui Chenxiang choked for breath, her eyes almost popped out, "You..."

"Does Auntie want to say that Concubine Li is in the same situation as you, and she has no reason to harm you? Auntie, do you know why you lose again and again? Because you are too smart and take yourself too seriously. You I feel like I am a chess player, but I don’t know that you are just a chess piece for Xun Feng and Concubine Li. Ah, why does Xun Feng treat Concubine Li differently?” Shui Linglong’s eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, “Because there is something between them. There is a crystallization of love—Prince Xunsi!"

No matter how Shui Chenxiang told herself, Shui Linglong was the best at sowing dissension and secretly changing concepts, but she still couldn't help worrying about the Twelve Princes.Once the seeds of doubt take root and germinate in the heart, it is not so easy to pull them out.

After Shui Linglong left, Shui Chenxiang rushed to Huining Palace.Concubine Li is reviewing the memorial. Although she was born as a merchant girl, a mysterious person has secretly cultivated her since she was ten years old. She knows that she will never be a shell hidden in the mud. She is a bright pearl and will shine bright one day lofty.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shui is asking to see you." The little palace maid reported softly.

Concubine Li frowned, and said in a long voice, "Xuan."

When Shui Chenxiang entered the inner hall, Concubine Li had already shunned all the eunuchs and maids, and without outsiders, Concubine Li simply opened the skylight and said, "The entire palace knows that you are still injured and cannot get out of bed. Suspicion? Do you think there is not enough gossip inside and outside the palace?"

Shui Chenxiang's mind was filled with the cries of the Twelve Princes. She stood outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time, and indeed she heard her son cry so loudly that her heart was broken. Therefore, her love for Concubine Li The questioning fell on deaf ears, and he only panted: "I want my son! Must! Now! Immediately!"

Concubine Li raised her face when she heard the words, "You are confused! I expressly prohibit everyone from entering and leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and I cannot make an exception for you! Otherwise, it will be over if people insist that you and I have a close relationship and conspired in the harem!"

"We are relatives, it's okay to get closer."

"Because they are relatives, we must avoid suspicion!"

Shui Chenxiang turned her face away, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care, you promised me a fief after you promised me, so that my son and I can be at ease!"

"The key is that things haven't been done yet!" Concubine Li has a big temper, unlike Shui Chenxiang who can bear it, it's scary for her to get angry.Now she looked at Shui Chenxiang very wrongly, but unfortunately Shui Chenxiang was still immersed in anger, and did not notice the difference in Concubine Li at all.Shui Chenxiang chose the next best thing, "Then at least, put the Twelve Princes in my bedroom."

Concubine Li refused, "No, you can't change the rules of the harem at will."

Shui Chenxiang gradually became angry, "The harem is always good? Then how did you keep the little princess by your side?"

"The queen is pregnant!"

"The Queen Mother is sick!"

Concubine Li choked with anger, and stopped messing around with her, "In short, there is no discussion! No matter how stubborn you are, I will lock you up too!"

If it was said that Shui Chenxiang only believed one point in Shui Linglong's words, now he believes five points.Five points is enough for her to risk everything to get her son back.Shui Chenxiang gave Concubine Li a cold look, then turned and went back to the bedroom.

As soon as Shui Chenxiang left, Concubine Li called for the female officer, "What exactly happened to Shui Chenxiang today? Go to Haosheng to investigate."

The female official said: "Going back to your mother, the eldest concubine of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has come to see Concubine Shui today."

Shui Linglong wanders around the imperial garden leisurely, picking a wintersweet for a while, pinching a crabapple for a while, and throwing it to Zhifan as if she doesn't like it at all.Zhi Fan was puzzled, as soon as the eldest lady went out, she would start thinking about the children, wishing she could fly back with a pair of wings, what was going on today, she actually walked around the imperial garden, and her nose was red from the cold, Miss is most afraid of the cold.

Zhi Fan laughed and said, "Miss, is the prince really Xun Feng's son? How can he sow seeds? Others can't conceive him, but he can?"

Shui Linglong burst out laughing, "How do I know whose son the prince is? It's just nonsense."

Zhi Fan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, what a... god-level fool!

"Shui Linglong!" Shui Chenxiang lifted her skirt and walked over quickly.

Shui Linglong raised her head, there was no surprise in her eyes, as if she was saying, look, I guessed right, Concubine Li just won't return the Twelve Princes to you!How could Shui Chenxiang fail to guess Shui Linglong's thoughts?But she didn't want to pay attention to this, she looked around with a look of vigilance.

Shui Linglong smiled lightly and said, "Zhi Fan is one of our own."

Shui Chenxiang took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I know that you and Bingbing sisters are deeply in love, and you want to help Bingbing get out of the predicament. In fact, whoever becomes the emperor is the same to me. As long as you can persuade Bingbing or the emperor to make a decree, Xu I will leave the palace with the Twelve Princes to go to the fiefdom, and I will help you deal with Concubine Li!"

……

Another seven months later, the queen mother and the emperor still showed no sign of recovery. Although Concubine Li had repeatedly assured that both of them had woken up at different times, the voice of questioning became louder and more people asked to visit the emperor and queen mother.Bing Bing came forward to mediate again, but with little success. Some people even pointed the finger at Bing Bing, thinking that she was plotting wrongdoing, first to frame the emperor and the queen mother, and to collude with Concubine Li to bring chaos to the court.

Concubine Li was worried about why there was no "good news" coming from the south, and at the same time was tired of dealing with all kinds of verbal criticism. Finally, on a dark and stormy night, she couldn't bear it anymore and called Shui Chenxiang to discuss countermeasures.After a whole night of detailed talks, the two decided to open an altar to try their best and ask for God's blessing.

That night, Concubine Li made a decree, ordering people to spend a lot of money to invite Yang Daxian into the palace.After three days of preparation, Yang Daxian opened an altar to cast spells on a lawn in the southeast corner of the palace.

Concubine Li invited the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and many ladies and ladies to observe. Even Bing Bing, who was pregnant, and Concubine Yan, who was punished into the Buddhist hall, were also called to the scene.Shui Linglong looked at the dark circle of heads. According to preliminary estimates, there were more than a hundred people present, including royal family members, civil and military officials, noble ladies, and several important concubines, including the Supreme Emperor and Yun Li.

Bingbing is sitting on the phoenix seat in the north, Concubine Li and Concubine Yan are sitting on both sides, Concubine Li has gentle eyes, Concubine Yan looks arrogant.The two poured a cup of tea at the same time and handed it to Bingbing. Their eyes met, and a strange spark appeared in the air.Bingbing's pupils moved, and smiled softly: "Let's put it all, I'm not thirsty."

Yang Daxian stood up, raised his arms, blood spilled on the yellow paper, "Demon Star, now!" Immediately afterwards, a word appeared on the paper, it was... Li!There were hundreds of people present, but there was only one person with the surname Li, and that was Concubine Li, who was in power.

Yao Qingfeng said with a serious gaze: "Execute the demon star! Let me be prosperous again!"
