palace heart

107 Chapter 2 Come to mess with her again ([-])
Qiu Yun smiled excitedly: "The emperor said, if the empress wakes up and finds out that the emperor has come in the morning, then the palace servants in Jingyang Palace can go to the servant's mansion to receive a month's more money. If the empress wakes up and doesn't notice , but rely on the servants to remind, then the servants will carry two empty wooden barrels and run a big circle around the palace, shouting as they run, Concubine Shu is a careless ghost!"

After hearing this, Li Qianlan blushed and laughed, pretending to be angry and said, "You guys are really bored!"

In order to find out the details of Empress Dowager Gao, Li Qianlan deliberately delayed the time to pay her respects, and she wanted to stagger with other concubines in order to communicate with Empress Dowager Gao.But when she rushed to the Dexuan Hall, she found that there were five or six more concubines who came to the Dexuan Hall to pay their respects, besides the concubines who were not favored but very respectful.

It's always been the custom for concubines to make peace in the morning and evening. When Lan Baolin was out of the cold palace, he naturally wanted to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Gao.However, Su Chongxu, who usually walks diligently, was injured by Emperor Ying, so he took a leave of absence to rest and recuperate in Baihua Palace in order to return to the world.But Zhao Zhaoyi was blown by some kind of wind today, and she came to greet her with a big belly.

Looking at Zhao Zhaoyi, Li Qianlan seemed to understand their intention of getting together today, she then looked around, Sun Xiuyuan just finished serving bed yesterday, she has no reason not to come out to show off.Concubine Wu Gui is calm, still occupying the first place among concubines, and trying her best to flatter Empress Dowager Gao.As for Zhang Chongrong, Guo Xiuyi, Sima Xiurong and other concubines who did not come to pay their respects every now and then, they were also dressed in fancy clothes and jeweled ornaments, sitting there upright, waiting quietly for something.

Li Qianlan raised the corners of her mouth into a smile, and the brilliance flowed. She went to the hall to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Gao, and sat down beside Lan Baolin. The concubine is tired."

"Sister Concubine Shu is either serving the emperor, or she is constantly suffering from serious and minor illnesses. Burnout is understandable!" The person who spoke was Sima Xiurong, who seemed not to buy her account, because Sima's family was the most important part of Empress Dowager Gao's side. That's why she dared to show Li Qianlan's face in Dexuan Hall.

Li Qianlan smiled instead of anger, glanced at Sima Xiurong, looked at Empress Dowager Gao and said: "The concubine is negligent, please forgive me. But think about it, we may not have been together here for a long time."

Empress Dowager Gao put the teacup in her hand on the table, smiled slightly, and glanced around the hall with her phoenix eyes, avoiding talking about the release of the cold palace, but turning the corner and asking: "What Concubine Shu said is that Aijia may be a long time I haven't seen so many people coming to pay their respects together, could it be that there is something you want to tell Ai's family today?"

Concubine Wu's face was visibly stiff, and although she recovered immediately, she also lost the previous softness.With Li Qianlan's confession, Lan Baolin was calm and kept silent, just turned his head slightly to look at Li Qianlan, even Zhao Zhaoyi came out to greet him, how could Li Qianlan not know that they got together to see the unfinished relationship between Lan Baolin and Concubine Wu The struggle, but now there is another Li Qianlan, turned into a three-person fight.

To collect three thousand loves in one person is to collect three thousand resentments in one body. Li Qianlan knows this truth, whoever wants her to occupy Emperor Yingdi for such a long time, they will guard the empty palace day and night alone.

Li Qianlan knew it in her heart, but she didn't say much. She picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, letting others take up the conversation.

The hall was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water for a while, and there was no wave to be found, but Sima Xiurong couldn't hold back his temper, looked at Li Qianlan with a dark smile and said: "The only person who can enter the cold palace in the harem is to commit something that offends Long Wei. His concubine. Lan Baolin was thrown into the cold palace for several years by the emperor for slandering the dragon blood in Hui Jieyu's belly. You can move freely in the palace without any taboos." After saying that, the next seat faced Empress Dowager Gao and knelt down on the ground: "The matter of Lan Baolin's framing of Hui Jieyu has long been settled, so what is Hui Jieyu? How should I complain about my grievances?"

Li Qianlan smiled: "Does Xiurong's words refer to the emperor, or to the palace?"

"Without rules, nothing can be done. The concubine only asks for an explanation for Hui Jieyu." Sima Xiurong competed with Li Qianlan. Back when Concubine Wu was the hegemony, she could still see Sima Xiurong for at least a month, but now Back, guarding alone every night, guarding the blue hair and turning white hair: "The imperial palace has the rules of the imperial palace, the harem has the legal system of the harem, and the concubines still ask the queen mother to be the master, and return the strict etiquette of the harem! Give Hui Jieyu justice! Gentlemen are the root of harmony in the six palaces!"

Li Qianlan gave Lan Baolin a reassuring smile, and did not answer, leaving Empress Dowager Gao to deal with it.

Empress Dowager Gao has close ties with the Sima family, but she also had an affair with Li Qianlan in secret. Naturally, neither party should be offended. Seeing that Li Qianlan didn't answer, she thought for a moment, then said: "The harem doesn't manage politics, so the former The Ai family has no right to intervene in the court affairs. However, it is inconvenient for the Ai family, as the empress dowager, to intervene in the harem affairs. After all, the empress dowager is no longer vacant, so you should wait for the new empress to enter the palace before going to the empress Gao Discussion!"

As soon as these words came out, Sima Xiu couldn't hide his anger, and Li Qianlan was shocked!
Because Sima Xiurong will definitely not stop at this matter, what she wants to bring down now is not Lan Baolin, but Li Qianlan, so when Princess Eketa enters the palace in the future, Sima Xiurong will definitely go to Princess Eketa to argue, so Once this happens, Princess Eketa will be dragged into the vortex of open and secret struggles in the harem.

Once you join the battle, your life will no longer be safe. If Princess Eketa can enter the palace alive, then Empress Dowager Gao only needs to use some tricks at 01:30, and Princess Eketa will die like Queen Zheng again. Li Qianlan thought clearly, and secretly scolded the old fox Empress Dowager Gao in her heart, but she didn't continue this topic, she just turned a corner and asked: "The concubine is sick, and after waking up, I found out that Princess Eketa is in Hal... I don’t know what the Empress Dowager thinks about the riots in the city!"

Empress Dowager Gao narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and her slight smile contained a hint of cruelty. She flicked her fingers on the back of the chair, but she remained silent all the time, as if ignoring the trend of going to the harem .

When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to say much. After sitting for a while, they all felt bored, and some concubines got up to say goodbye.

Although Li Qianlan didn't say anything, she got up to leave when she saw this, and Lan Baolin followed after her. Seeing Lan Baolin leaving, Concubine Wu also got up to leave and went back to the palace.

After waking up from an afternoon nap, Qiu Yun stood by the bed and passed on a message: "Madam, Lin Shanggong came here to send a message, saying that the queen mother is welcome!"

In a fight with Empress Dowager Gao, it depends on who loses first and whoever takes the initiative loses. Empress Dowager Gao has already lost one round, and now she has lost the second round with this message. Li Qianlan raised her mouth slightly, Let Xiaoxue help her wash and dress up.

All the courtiers of the Dexuan Palace were ordered to wait outside, and the Empress Dowager Gao led Li Qianlan to the garden behind the palace. In this way, no matter how good Chen Jinghua's skill was, it would be useless.

The two walked to the pavilion and sat down face to face. Li Qianlan pulled out a white orchid-embroidered handkerchief from her cuff and pinched it in her hands, with a soft voice and a scheming smile: "The queen mother is very satisfied with the performance of my concubine recently. !"

Empress Dowager Gao's secretive black eyes fixed on her body, she nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, if not, they are descendants of the Li family, able to bend and stretch!"

Li Qianlan showed a fierce look in his posture, and gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Bring down the emperor, and the concubine's revenge will be regarded as revenge. The concubine is grateful for the Queen Mother's guidance."

"Your Majesty is only thirty-five years old this year, and he is strong and strong. How can you be so easy to overthrow!" Empress Dowager Gao's words contained words, and the direction was clear.

Li Qianlan understood, and answered quickly: "What does the Queen Mother mean...?"

"Attack from inside and outside, damage his noble body, destroy his power, fight with two swords, I don't believe he can still sit firmly in the country!" Empress Dowager Gao did not realize Li Qianlan's way, and told the truth in her heart.

Li Qianlan pretended to be enlightened: "The Queen Mother means Princess Eketa...?"

Empress Dowager Gao squinted coldly, and her vicious eyes shot out: "The two countries have turned against each other and did not kill the envoys. Assassinating the envoys is a violation of diplomatic etiquette. Although the emperor temporarily suppresses it with money, the silk-spinning country will be united." , will definitely become a reason for sending troops in the future, so if the emperor wants to last for a long time, he will definitely find a good man and send him to the silk-spinning country after Princess Eketa enters the palace. The emperor previously sent you to the silk-spinning kingdom intentionally country, but now that you are in bed, it would be no longer legal to send you out!"

At this point, Empress Dowager Gao deliberately stopped the topic, as if to let Li Qianlan recall the past.

After waiting for a while, Li Qianlan came back from the memories of the past, answered the conversation again, and asked, "What does the Queen Mother mean...?"

"The Ai family has messed up the emperor's first step, and the second step of the Ai family is for you to intervene." Empress Dowager Gao really regarded Li Qianlan as her own.

It was only then that Li Qianlan became very clear that the assassination of the envoy was really arranged by the Empress Dowager. She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and asked without changing her face: "The concubine is ignorant and doesn't understand what the Empress Dowager means?"

"The Ai family asked you to interfere with the emperor's choice of marriage and marriage. You can choose a woman from your palace, force the prince to accept her as a righteous daughter, and then marry her as a princess. After that, you can ask the emperor to leave the palace. Send off the relatives and greet the queen." Empress Dowager Gao got up and walked slowly in the pavilion, with a strong look of ruthlessness in her eyes: "The emperor is completely confused by you now, he will definitely go together, when the time comes, Ai's family only needs to On the way..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a killing motion.
