Chapter 20 Competing with the Emperor for Women (5)
"Qianlan heard that there was something wrong with what Wang Momo said. After thinking about it after coming back, she felt that there was something wrong. She didn't want to disturb the Queen Mother rashly, and she couldn't just hand over the case to you hastily, so she brought Qiuyun to interrogate Wang Momo again. Mammy, I asked other people. I am sure what Mammy Wang knows, and I learned from her that she has evidence to indicate..." At this point, Li Qianlan raised her head to look at Empress Dowager Gao, and suddenly changed her words, "Specify It was made by Xu Meiren, the empress dowager was thinking about her past friendship, Qianlan didn't dare to decide whether to hand over these things, so she sent them to you."

Empress Dowager Gao laughed, she was right to choose Li Qianlan!Even if she is by her side, without any outsiders, she can still say what she doesn't want to hear.Needless to say, Li Qianlan understood, this is much better than Zhong Shanggong. "Okay, get up, Aijia doesn't want to see these things, so you can dispose of them."

"Empress Dowager, Qianlan only gave you a statement and evidence."

Empress Dowager Gao nodded, "Go down."

In the next few days, it was announced that Xu Meiren killed Empress Zheng.

Xu Meiren died, and when Xiang Xiaoyu died, she couldn't see Emperor Ying, and died with hatred.All the descendants of the Xu family were imprisoned and executed.The side branches were distributed to the north, and the others were also sold as slaves.This is after Empress Dowager Gao pleaded for mercy, and she was given a lighter punishment!At least, the Xu family did not exterminate their clan...

It's just that everyone doesn't know that this is the black hand used by Empress Dowager Gao behind her back.

Li Qianlan couldn't leave the palace, and couldn't see the Xu family being beheaded, but just stared in a daze at the direction in which Xu Meiren was bestowed to death.The Xu family died in an instant, so why not her Li family!

This is imperial power!No matter how high and powerful the position is, all it takes is one word from the sage, and everything will be wiped out, and all life is so insignificant that it is not even as good as an ant!This palace, the entire royal family, has no emotion at all, even a baby who is still in its infancy, can't escape death?

Li Qianlan stood like that, mourning for Xu's family, and also for her own family.Although it was not her wish to destroy the Xu family, it was by her hands!The lives of 27 members of the Xu family, young and old, were all destroyed by her hands!

Thinking of this, Li Qianlan seems to have returned to ten years ago, when the Imperial Forest Army was shuttling in her yard, her mother hugged her little self, fighting in the corner, her mother hugged her, although she couldn't see her, she could hear her father being beaten. Cut in the yard, everyone's crying!When he left, there were bloodstains on the ground!
Li Qianlan hugged her shoulders and curled up in pain.

Gently, a warm and generous heart embraced her, giving Li Qianlan warmth.

"I killed someone..." Li Qianlan's hoarse voice seemed to be screaming from the heart.

Shen Mojun hugged Li Qianlan even harder, wishing to share some of the burden for her. "That wasn't your intention, and it wasn't your fault. I've killed people before, and I've killed people too! Qian Lan, it's okay, it's okay." Shen Mojun followed his master to walk the rivers and lakes. Naturally, he had killed people, but he was some bully. .Even so, thinking of the fear and loathing when he killed the first time, and vomited in embarrassment for an hour, he felt more and more distressed for Li Qianlan.God, can he be made to feel sorry for her and suffer for her?Stop torturing his Qianlan!

Holding Li Qianlan like that, Shen Mojun felt that Li Qianlan in his arms gradually stopped trembling after an unknown period of time, but Shen Mojun became more worried instead.If Li Qianlan makes trouble, or is extremely sad, he will stay with her until she recovers.But now, Li Qianlan only said one sentence, she killed someone, and there was nothing more to say.

Although from the sound of her voice, she could feel the sadness in her heart, maybe because she remembered the misfortune of the Li family, but Shen Mojun felt that Li Qianlan was like a big river that was about to break its embankment. Block a big rock so that the sadness in her heart cannot be vented.On the surface, it seems that nothing is wrong, but what about her when emotions explode?

Shen Mojun couldn't help becoming nervous as he thought about it.The hand around Li Qianlan became even tighter. "Qianlan, if you are sad, just cry. There is no one here except us. My shoulders are ready for you. I will help you resist your pain. You cry. Qianlan!"

No matter what Shen Mojun said, Li Qianlan bit her lips tightly, she could clearly feel that she was enduring the pain in her heart and trembling, but she refused to cry out.Put the pain in my heart to the bottom of my heart.

After a long time, Li Qianlan stopped trembling. At the same time, she held a breath in her lungs, making her face paler and paler.Shen Mojun was terrified, but he didn't know how to comfort Li Qianlan at this time, and for a moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.He just patted Li Qianlan's back lightly like coaxing a baby.

"I... I'm fine..." Li Qianlan's voice was hoarse than before, it was as hoarse as a stone mill, indicating that she was not as fine as she said at this time.

Shen Mojun frowned, and wanted to say something more, but was pushed away by Li Qianlan.I saw Li Qianlan walking forward step by step, like a kite with a broken string that might fly away and fall down at any time.

Several times, Shen Mo wanted to rush over to hug her, but she knew that Li Qianlan wanted to be alone.

The next day, Li Qianlan returned to normal.It's just that she's so normal!

Empress Dowager Gao now has four palaces by her side, originally there were only three, and they served her very well. Empress Dowager Gao now does not have Li Qianlan as a single person. Let Li Qianlan do whatever he wants.

Therefore, in the morning, Li Qianlan went to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Gao, then went to see her mother and helped her wash.

Li Jiang's complexion was much better than before, with a look of joy on his face, everyone said that the Li family had recovered its innocence, although she did not regain the title of first-rank madam, she also gave a second-rank madam she.It is said that outside the palace, a large house was also given to her for the elderly.Thanks to her good daughter, she works beside the empress dowager.

"Mom, I'm back."

As soon as he saw Li Qianlan, Li Jiang ran over in three steps at a time, with a happy face, "When I greeted the empress dowager, I said something to the empress dowager, and I told my mother."

Li Qianlan seemed not to have heard Li Jiangshi's words, and touched her face, "Mother, your complexion is not very good, did you not sleep well yesterday?"

Li Jiangshi pulled off the hand that was stroking his face, and asked impatiently: "Talk to Mother, what did the Empress Dowager say?"

"The empress dowager said, let you prepare today, leave the palace tomorrow, and go to Li's mansion." It's just this Li's mansion, not that Li's mansion.Presumably, the Li Mansion has long since changed.Even if it was still that house, the people inside could not come back.

Mrs. Li Jiang patted her feet and called out "Alas", "I've been looking forward to this day! How much salary do you have a month? I don't know what it looks like, how many servants can you support? It's best to be one Take care of the mother, two big maids, two young maids, and two rough maids, the kitchen must have a cook..."

Li Jiang went over one by one, inviting such a big family, how could a fifth-rank Shanggong be able to afford it!
"Mom, you can invite as many people as you want. You have worked hard for ten years, and it's time to enjoy the light." Li Qianlan looked at Li Jiangshi's face and said quietly.

"My daughter is still filial, so I'll go back and pack my things and raise my daughter." Li Jiangshi happily ran into the house, but the moment she turned her face away, the tears on her face were like bursting a bank. Like a river, it flowed down, closed the door with a bang, and said that he had to pack up his things and come to find himself again at lunch.In fact, he sent himself in the room, caressing Li Qianlan's clothes over and over again, while silently rolling his eyes, wishing to make his eyes go blind from crying!This way, she wouldn't have to watch her daughter force her smile in front of her!

Li Jiangshi was out of the palace, Empress Dowager Gao asked Li Qianlan to send Li Jiangshi to the new Li Mansion, settle Li Jiangshi well, and then go back to the palace.
