palace heart

Chapter 15
Li Qianlan looked at Li Jiangshi's back through the goat's horn palace lantern by the bed, and remembered what Yurong said to her the day before yesterday, mother and daughter are united!At that time, I was confused, but now Qianlan, who figured out why her mother did this, knew that her eyes were crying and her heart was bleeding when she turned her back to her mother!

On the second day, Li Qianlan calmly served her mother to take the medicine, and then handed her over to Yajing.Knowing how exhausted her mother is, Li Qianlan will naturally not let her mother's thoughts go to waste!
Called Qiuyun, ready to interrogate the imperial dining room with his hand.It's just that at this time, the appointment has not yet been made, and he is being suppressed above the court!
On the third day after Emperor Ying's death, the empress proposed to restore the Li family's innocence. Everyone knew that what happened that day was done by Li's eldest son alone.But Li Xiang only supported the prince because he was the prince, and he was only loyal to the first emperor.If Li Xiang is still alive, he will definitely not support the prince, but will support the emperor's Yingdi.

It was only for the benefit of the Gao family that the cutting off of Li Xiang, who was in the limelight, was just to gain a big benefit with a small sacrifice.Everyone in the imperial palace knew that Miss Li was in the palace. Now there are only orphans and widows left. What kind of disturbance can they cause?So what if the Li family is innocent?

Everyone in the Manchu Dynasty admired Li Xiang, and for a while, there were endless voices of approval.Except the Gao family!
But this is the imperial order!
Emperor Ying stared down, "What? Gao Aiqing still wants to influence my decision?"

Gao Encheng hurriedly knelt down and said he didn't dare, but resentment arose in his heart. The Gao family has been in power for the past few years. Apart from not dealing with the Shen family, it can be said that they want the wind to win the wind, and the rain to win the rain. He became more and more proud.Because the money in his hand was getting bigger and bigger, he forgot about his younger sister who was the queen mother in the palace, and didn't discuss anything with her on weekdays. Anyway, it was a queen mother who had no real power, so what's the use of flattery?

But the amount of gold and silver given to Empress Dowager Gao every year is also tens of thousands, but now that the emperor has such thoughts, it must not happen in a day or two.He didn't get any news beforehand, so how could this make him not feel resentful?It's just that he probably never imagined in his dreams that Empress Dowager Gao would not look down on those tens of thousands of gold and silver.Ten years of forbearance not only made Emperor Ying take it lightly, but also made the Gao family listen to her in the blink of an eye!
"Since I have no objection, after a while, I will ask the Queen Mother to issue a decree to appoint Li's daughter Qianlan as an official. When she reaches 25, I will give her a marriage and let her go out of the palace. If there is nothing else, let's retire." After finishing speaking, without waiting Gao Encheng reacted and walked away.Feeling happy, although the Shen family is arrogant, they are not too arrogant, but the Gao family has become more and more arrogant because of their achievements in seizing the heir.When the queen mother proposed a few days ago, she vaguely mentioned that she wanted to get rid of the Xu family and teach the Gao family a lesson, and the Gao family increasingly ignored her.

The Gao family didn't know that the Empress Dowager Gao had pointed her sword at the Xu family, and Emperor Ying was happy to see the Gao family rebelling!I also feel happy because today's life reprimanded Gao Encheng.It's just that he has realized now that once this decree comes out, he may have to spend some time if he wants to play with Li Qianlan.

Seeing Emperor Ying left, Gao Encheng was anxious and annoyed, and hurried into the palace to see his second sister.As soon as Gao Encheng arrived at Dexuan Palace, he even sighed three times, but couldn't even ask the question that was on his lips.Although he hasn't had much contact with Empress Dowager Gao in recent years, he also knows her temper. She has always been the master who will repay her flaws. Don't say that she has something to ask her today, but when she is free on weekdays, if she says something important, she will have to wait for it in the future. I was killed by her once.

But the thought of Qianlan, Li Xiang's orphan, is a thorn in his heart!He couldn't help but sighed, "I shouldn't have left Li Qianlan behind that day!"

When he said Li Qianlan's name, he almost gritted his teeth.

When Empress Dowager Gao saw Gao Encheng, she felt disdainful in her heart. Apart from being a man, how could he be better than her?With such a little tolerance, if he didn't take care of him a lot, how could he be a prime minister!If you can't hold your breath at all, and only look at the interests in front of you, how can you make a big deal!Despite her hatred, Empress Dowager Gao still said Shi Shiran, "What are you in a hurry for?"

After all, Gao Encheng is still the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Gao, and he knows her quite well. Hearing her tone, he knew that it was not as it appeared on the surface, and it was just because he was disrespectful to her that he caused a fight.If she was the one who overwhelmed Emperor Ying, she would have almost the same kindness in fighting in the nest again.It's just that Empress Dowager Gao actually became empress dowager with peace of mind in the past ten years, and he gradually became despised.If not, he would not underestimate this younger sister who came from behind and became the Queen Mother in one fell swoop!

Empress Dowager Gao naturally knew that the family had been using her ever since she was sent to the palace to be the imperial concubine of the dying old man, and even more so now!Destiny is still in your own hands, don't worry!Empress Dowager Gao looked at the nails painted bright red and said, "The Zheng family wanted to protect themselves and married their granddaughter to the emperor. In order to protect themselves, the Zheng family would not betray the emperor. But the Gao family has a queen mother, so naturally they cannot produce another queen. Don't you think Li Qianlan is the right fit?"

Gao Chengen was shocked, several thoughts went through in his mind, and it took him a long time to realize that Empress Dowager Gao has been forbearance for ten years, she just made all of them treat her lightly, and was used by her unknowingly !He really underestimated this sister!
May I ask, how many people have more virtue in the court than Zheng Chenghao?Shen Hongde is the only one!
But the master is overwhelmed by merit!
Shen Hongde guarded the northern border, fought hundreds of battles, and moved the territory northward to the north with as many as sixteen cities in three counties. What a credit this is!If his daughter is allowed to enter the palace again, even if the Emperor Ying is willing, the civil servants in the court will have to remonstrate and disagree.

Li Qianlan is the only one who surpasses Empress Zheng's in virtue and ability and is of marriageable age.

As early as ten years ago, the Empress Dowager Gao had thought about this and insisted on keeping Li Qianlan's mother and daughter behind. Even the people she sent to kill their mother and daughter were all killed by the wall.

Ten years!This woman is terrifying to such an extent!
"The emperor and we are not in the same family, and he is not my own, and if he cannot get the posthumous position, we only need to control one person to be the queen. This person, besides Li Qianlan who has no background, who else is more suitable?"

ten years?No, it's too little to say that this woman has been calculating for ten years.As early as more than ten years ago, Emperor Ying did not choose the Gao family behind her, but she chose to help Emperor Ying seize the throne!Although this kind of thinking is ridiculous, after coming out of this kind of thinking, Gao Chengen can no longer stop the spread of this kind of thinking!

The Li family was destroyed, the Gao family rose up, the Zheng family sold their daughters, and the Shen family became bigger...

Everything was done by the woman leading him and controlling the situation!
Originally, the Li family, which was only devoted to the emperor, fell, and it became a three-legged confrontation.With Empress Dowager Gao's means, it is not impossible to control the three of them through Li Qianlan, who is controlled by her, and then control Yingdi's will!
The more Gao Chengen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he felt a chill behind his back, is this really his sister!

Gao Chengen understands that Empress Dowager Gao seems to be saying this to herself, not to discuss with him, but to tell her what she will do in the future. , Naturally, it can also destroy the Gao family!
Only now did he understand that Empress Dowager Gao didn't need their Gao family as the backstage at all.It's just that besides being attached to Empress Dowager Gao, he can only wait for death.Empress Dowager Gao dared to say this to herself, so she naturally had her back.

Gao Chengen sat slumped on the chair next to him. Back then, his father always touched his head, looked at the Empress Dowager Gao who was playing with the maids in the distance, and said that it would be great if she was a boy.At that time, I was so jealous that I wanted to kill my sister!Although he is the eldest son, his father only loves his younger sister!I calculated that the Empress Dowager Gao would enter the palace, and my father acquiesced, probably already saw that one day in the future, the Empress Dowager Gao would secretly control the Gao family, so that I, who can only be said to have good qualifications, can protect the Gao family in the storm.

Looking at Empress Dowager Gao, Shang Chengen smiled wryly, perhaps his father never thought that one day, Empress Dowager Gao's thoughts would be so crazy, right?
She actually wants to listen to politics behind the curtain!

Gao Chengen took a deep breath, now he knew that in front of Empress Dowager Gao, all concealment would be in vain.He just has poor aptitude, but he is not stupid. Otherwise, even if Empress Dowager Gao had the means, he wouldn't be allowed to stay in the prime minister's position for ten years!
