Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 253 Delegating power and retiring to the Supreme Emperor?

After Duanyang, the capital is still hot. Due to many things this year, Emperor Yonglong has not gone to the palace to escape the summer heat. One day, when he went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, he heard the Queen Mother mention something, and Emperor Yonglong ordered him to go down.

Going out to escape the summer heat used to happen every year, but this year without that person, Emperor Yonglong felt uncomfortable and didn't want to go anywhere.

But now that the Queen Mother has brought it up, it will be different. No matter how much Emperor Yonglong hates the Queen Mother for targeting Luo Lan, she is also his biological mother. Nanliang's loyalty and filial piety are greater than the sky. As an emperor, he should set an example for his people.

So even though he was reluctant in his heart, on the bright side, Emperor Yonglong still made people prepare in a decent way, and said that he would drive to the palace to escape the summer heat. In fact, he was giving the Empress Dowager a face in front of outsiders. , it's really hard to see.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui was executed at the beginning when the Empress Dowager was in a coma. She only heard about it when she woke up. She wanted to blame it, but if it was too late, she would blame someone else. She just sighed silently, "That's all." Concubine Xiao Huanggui assassinated her It is true that she was seriously injured, and it is also true that the woman had no brains. She could do such absurd and stupid things as assassinating the Queen Mother. .

Although the injury was more serious this time, Empress Dowager Xiao was not too angry. Firstly, because the chief culprit, Xiao Mingxi, had already subdued the law, and secondly, because of her injury, the Emperor and Princess Yiqing came to the Palace of Compassionate Ning to greet each other every three days. , Let her heart that has been half-cooled slowly warm up.

I thought that the relationship between mother and child had become stiff unconsciously, but I didn't expect that the children would still be nervous about themselves at critical moments.

As for the other royal family wives who brought expensive supplements to the palace to seek an audience, the Queen Mother made excuses to dismiss them all. Anyway, those people are here to save face, and few of them really care about her injury. Why bother?

"Yiqing, among these women in the emperor's harem, who do you think is worthy of being a queen?"

On this day, Eldest Princess Yiqing came to see the Empress Dowager again. Seeing that she was well, she carefully helped her to walk in the Imperial Garden.

The Empress Dowager walked for a while, she was a little out of breath, so she rested in the flower pavilion next to her, she didn't stop in the process, she grabbed Princess Yiqing and asked.

Princess Yiqing was of course in a dilemma, "The queen mother and all the sons and servants are married off, so how can they manage the emperor's housework?"

"Establishing an empress is not considered a housework." The queen mother corrected immediately, "You have always had an idea, now that there is no one around, you might as well talk about it, the Ai family wants to hear your opinion."

Eldest Princess Yiqing showed a helpless expression, and rolled her eyes, "The queen mother thinks, how does the emperor feel in these days?"

The queen mother thought about it carefully, "Except for government affairs, the rest of the time looks pretty good."

"Then it's over." Eldest Princess Yiqing said: "Ever since that one is gone, the emperor has not had such a happy life, right? Now that the prince is assisting the government, the emperor doesn't often go to the harem. From the current point of view, it's not too bad Even if the weather is calm, since there is nothing serious, why is there a need to rush to become the empress? Can't the emperor be happy for two more days?"

Empress Dowager Xiao choked directly, "Even you said that?"

Elder Princess Yiqing certainly knew that what she said was a little out of bounds, she had previously boasted that her married daughter was not suitable to take care of her natal family's affairs, but once she said it, not only did she take care of it, but she even made up her mind. "The queen mother wants to listen to what is in the heart of the son, and the son can only say so."

The emperor is grateful to her as the emperor's sister, and she doesn't feel ashamed of receiving it, so she often tries her best to help a little.

On the matter of Emperor Yonglong and Luo Lan, Eldest Princess Yiqing remained neutral. She neither followed Empress Dowager Xiao to reject Luo Lan, nor did she very much agree with Emperor Yonglong's special favor. In her opinion, such a thing as "special favor" is not It will let that woman enjoy the supreme honor and favor in the world, and will push that person to the forefront. For the person who is favored, this is very dangerous. Living in a situation surrounded by enemies all day long, Luo Lan Princess Yiqing had to admire how she could last for so many years.

These two sons and daughters really wanted to piss her off one by one before she would give up. Empress Dowager Xiao swallowed a mouthful of old blood, "The Ai family really can't understand why a demon queen like Luo Lan, who is a disaster for the country, can get so much money." People like it? An emperor is fine, even you, Yiqing, who is the most sober-minded..."

Eldest Princess Yiqing recalled a time when the emperor complained in front of her, "Mother, do you know why the emperor is fighting against you to the end on Luo Lan?"

Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that you know something else?"

Princess Yiqing sighed and said, "Think about it carefully, from childhood to adulthood, what did the emperor do every day, who did he meet, what people did he say, and what expression should he wear when he said those words? Did the queen mother arrange it in advance? OK?"

"As the emperor's biological mother and the queen in charge of the six palaces, I have the obligation to personally train the future king." Empress Dowager Xiao puffed her chest out, taking it as a matter of course.

"The queen mother is doing it for the emperor's good. This minister does not deny it. And he has been obediently carrying out everything that the queen mother arranged for him until the woman he admired appeared."

When mentioning this, Empress Dowager Xiao immediately became angry, "As an emperor, the last thing you should touch is true feelings, especially when he puts the woman he cares about on an equal footing with the country, then it should be even more wrong, regardless of future generations How would you comment, as far as the current situation is concerned, isn't the verbal criticism of hundreds of officials and the rivalry of women in the harem not enough to explain everything?"

"Actually, that's not the case." Eldest Princess Yiqing sighed quietly, "The queen mother has been lying to herself all along."

"What did you say?"

"When the father was still alive, the queen mother couldn't control him all her life, whether it was human or heart, so the mother forced her unfulfilled obsession onto her own son, because the son was the most obedient.

It can be said that since the emperor can remember, he has listened to you very much, and the queen mother is also very satisfied with her perfect control over him.

Until the appearance of Luo Lan broke this balance, the emperor started to talk back to you, started to have his own little secret, and also started to learn to lie.

The kite tightly held in your hand suddenly broke its string. Of course, the queen mother will be anxious to get angry, so before you meet, you put all the blame on Luo Lan, thinking that she is an out-and-out foxy girl, just a little too old Just hook the whole heart of the emperor away.

Later, in order to marry Luo Lan as the empress, the emperor did not hesitate to kneel outside the Palace of Compassion under the heavy snow, which completely worsened your impression of Luo Lan. Xiao Mingxi agreed to marry Luo Lan as a condition of entering the palace.

But even so, the empress mother's grudge against Luo Lan still hasn't diminished in the slightest. In fact, it's because of your preconception that Luo Lan is a 'fucky girl', so when she enters the palace, no matter how she behaves, she won't be able to convince you My heart warms up.Of course, this is only part of the reason, and the other part is naturally because Luo Lan is an accident that is beyond your control. You do not allow such an accident to exist, and it will threaten the mother's long-standing desire to control, which is different from ordinary people, so you Can't stand her.

But if personal grievances are put aside, Luo Lan is indeed several times better than the Empress Dowager Xiao Huangguifei who you fancy, isn't she?She is a veritable queen. "

"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" It seemed that the long-buried thoughts had been pierced, and the Empress Dowager Xiao was a little distraught, her face pale and uncertain.

Princess Yiqing shouldn't have said such things at such a time. After all, the queen mother has just recovered. If she gets angry because of this, no one can bear it. But how could she expect her own mother to refuse to stop just after recovering? Think about it Her younger brother, who has never been free for a day since he was a child, is not ordinary distressed, "If the queen mother has a strong desire to control, why did she mention the matter of the queen just after recovering? You can bring it up, and why don't you go to the emperor to discuss it? Want to make up your own mind again, isn't this trying to control him again?"

"Yiqing——" Empress Dowager Xiao clenched her fists tightly, she would never have imagined that her daughter, whom she had always cherished, would say such words to herself, "No matter how bad your family is, you can't talk like that, let alone, There is nothing wrong with the Ai family, as the emperor's birth mother, shouldn't he be the one who checks on him when it comes to making an empress?"

"Mother, you are already an empress dowager, you should take good care of your life." Eldest Princess Yiqing said earnestly: "Whether it's the harem or the court, someone will worry about it and take care of it. It's useless for you to think so much."

"Are you trying to say that Ai's family takes power?"

"My son doesn't dare."

Empress Dowager Xiao was so angry that she said, "It's all about this, and you still say no, none of you are looking forward to Aijia's well-being."

This "unfilial" label is so innocent, but Eldest Princess Yiqing can't refute anything, she just keeps her eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye.

"Hmph! You can't even handle your own family affairs well, yet you still dare to take care of Ai's family. What's the point?"

These words were heartbreaking, Princess Yiqing felt pain in her heart one after another.

——Although Princess Yiqing is the biological daughter of Empress Dowager Xiao, she has already had frostbite on her temples. If one looks at her appearance regardless of her status, Princess Yiqing has the potential to catch up with Empress Dowager Xiao, because Empress Dowager Xiao only gave birth to Yi Princess Qing and Emperor Yonglong have two children, while Princess Yiqing is a woman who has given birth to five children.

A woman who has only given birth to one and a woman who has given birth to two stand together, and one can see the big difference from that face, the one who has always given birth to more will look older, besides, Princess Yiqing has also given birth Five, no matter how much you take care of it, it is impossible to withstand the relentless offensive of the years. She is aging faster, faster than her old mother.

Of course, giving birth to five children is only one of the reasons, and another very important reason is because of one of the troubled daughters of Princess Yiqing.

Originally, the one who was also 15 years old was invited to be the princess, but because of her disliked temper, she got into trouble, Princess Yiqing was worried that it would hurt the face of the royal family, so she had the audacity to enter the palace and asked the emperor to deprive her daughter of the title of princess , and finally married off as an ordinary person.

After being married for two years, the daughter gave birth to a fat boy for her husband's family. When she could walk, she happily brought her to the Princess Mansion for a short stay for two days. I never thought that the child would not be acclimatized or what. On the day he entered the mansion, he felt restless and cried all the time. He invited the imperial physician to see him, but there was no accurate result.

The in-law's family is looking forward to such a little grandson, who can bear it now that he died in his mother's house?

Even if the other party is the Princess Mansion, the other end seems to be planning to go all out, without waiting for the daughter-in-law to go back to say anything, and directly asks someone to bring the divorce letter to the Princess Mansion, telling her not to go back for the rest of her life.

Since then, the Princess Mansion and the people at the other end have become completely enmity.

For this matter, Princess Yiqing, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was so anxious that her temples became frosty overnight, and she was low-key and went to the door to make an apology in person. .

Just thinking about it, let's not do it. Are you afraid that your daughter will not be able to support her when she returns home?Then came the news that her daughter was insane, Princess Yiqing was heartbroken, she almost spent those days in tears.

Although that daughter is crazy, but fortunately she looks like an ordinary person if she is not stimulated, and she will not do any frightening actions. It is only now that Princess Yiqing feels that she has recovered .

I didn't expect to be ridiculed by my old lady in this way today, and Princess Yiqing was so choked that her face was not a face and a nose was not a nose, and she didn't know how to answer such a question.

"The nuns in charge of the Palace of Compassion and Ning are right outside. After a while, let them take you back. My son suddenly feels a little uncomfortable and wants to leave first." Eldest Princess Yiqing stood up, her eyes were full of pain. I thought that my daughter had suffered such a great difficulty, and the queen mother would say a few words of comfort no matter what, but I didn't expect that I didn't hear the comfort, and this matter became a bargaining chip used by the biological mother to dissuade her. That's her granddaughter, it's really good mouth.

"Yiqing..." The Empress Dowager also suddenly felt that she shouldn't have said that, and was secretly annoyed, "The Empress Mother didn't mean that."

Eldest Princess Yiqing didn't say anything else, she squatted down and resigned and went straight out of the palace. The so-called insulting words hurt Liu Yuehan, not to mention that she was the birth mother, and she was already so old. Isn't it proper to say what to do?Apologize only after she has said it all, is it possible that she can also curse people around the corner in the future, and then say sorry when people hear it, so that the hurt to the other party can be erased?
Because of this incident, Princess Yiqing, who was originally invited to go to the palace to escape the summer heat, sent a private letter to Emperor Yonglong the next day, saying that she was unwell and would not be going this year, but in the next year.

Emperor Yonglong knew this imperial sister best, she would never play childish temper, this time the refusal was too sudden, either she was really sick, or there were other inside stories that he didn't know about.

Emperor Yonglong sent someone to check it immediately, and the imperial physician came back and reported that Princess Yiqing's liver qi was stagnant and her spirit was damaged, so she should rest.

Emperor Yonglong frowned, stagnated liver qi?A few days ago, she went to "grab the painting" by herself on the birthday of the emperor's sister, she was clearly still in high spirits, why did she become so angry in just a few days?

Don't worry, Emperor Yonglong asked someone to investigate. If he really found out who was blind and dared to make Huang Jie angry like this, he would have to take the other party's skin.

However, in the end, his old lady was found, what else could Emperor Yonglong say?That layer of skin can't be peeled away, so I can only send someone to visit Princess Yiqing in private, but she is smart enough not to mention that matter, just let her take care of her.

-

It was beyond Su Yan's expectation that Princess Yiqing would not go to the palace to escape the summer heat, but fortunately, it was one step closer to his plan.

When I came out alone to meet Luo Lan that day, I told her directly: "The opportunity has come, you go to the city in disguise to find Princess Yiqing, confess everything to her, and then she will take you to see Emperor Yonglong. "

Luo Lan looked at Su Yan nervously, "Do you know that once my identity is exposed, everything you have done will be exposed, even if this point of the Luo family can be completely erased, but the serious crime you committed by deceiving the king, But there is no way to escape.”

"This is your only chance." Su Yan's voice was so heavy that Luo Lan couldn't breathe, but she still couldn't bear to leave him alone, "Su Yan, what plan do you have in the future? Tell me in advance, so that I can be mentally prepared, otherwise... let me see you in a desperate situation because of me, my conscience will be disturbed."

Su Yan didn't say a word. This is a dead end. There is no way out. He had predicted this day when he set up the game. Now, his only way out is to bet on the attitude of Emperor Yonglong. Bet that He Lianjin can react to all the truth at the last moment and save him from the fire.

After all, no matter how capable he is, he is not a high-ranking person in power. Facing the "crime of deceiving the emperor", he can only wait to be sentenced.

"Let's go!" Su Yan was still the same as before, with no overly flustered expression on his face, like a sculpture.

How could Luo Lan feel at ease, and grabbed him, "Tell me, will the Su family be in crisis from today on?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." Su Yan said calmly, "I won't make fun of my family's lives."

"But you have nowhere to go." Unless you abandon her and make her forever the "dead person" Luo Lan in the eyes of the world, if you want to help her, you have to sacrifice the Su family. There is no such kindness.

"There is no turning back when you open the bow." Su Yan said slowly: "Your Majesty has come to this point, and you just need to recognize each other. Do you want to give up at this time?"

Luo Lan wriggled her lips, unable to say a single word. From the time of feigning death to the present, how much effort she had made, and how many times she had almost stepped into the gate of hell. It was really not easy to persevere until today, but why should she be happy? The whole Su family to buy it?
Seeing that she didn't leave, Su Yan walked away with a wave of his sleeves, and only said, "If the empress can get to know the emperor smoothly, then I can persuade him to let go of power and retire as the emperor as soon as possible, then maybe his old age will be easier, otherwise ..."

Otherwise, it is self-evident, He Lianyu has gone to the point of frenzy in order to get the throne, there is nothing he can't do, including forcing the palace to pass the throne.

After Luo Lan listened, her back was soaked in cold sweat.

　Tears and runny nose, both nostrils are blocked, my head still hurts, I really can't hold it anymore, forgive Yiyi for being willful for a while o(╥﹏╥)o
