palace heart

Chapter 58
It’s okay not to say anything, Qiuyun was even more frightened when she said this, she was afraid that Li Qianlan would commit suicide, so she cried even louder: "My lord is a female official in the court, he will marry Mr. Ruyi when he leaves the palace at sunrise. , enjoy the family happiness with children around their knees, although no one can escape this loess, it is still far away from us! Besides, my lord has servants to accompany me, and Lord Zheng cares about me, so my lord does not have nothing."

Out of the palace!Children around the knees!Not for nothing!
She thought that when her mother was around, she still wanted to leave the palace and marry Shen Mojun.Now that his mother is gone, Shen Mojun is going to marry Cheng Die again, what is she going to do outside the palace, and where is she going to live with her children around her knees.

Li Qianlan sneered in her heart, she had a deep feud with Emperor Ying, so she didn't want to go out of the palace, she wanted to stay in the royal compound for a long time, so that she would have more opportunities and time to frame Emperor Ying.

Liu Ruyun was killed by her, and her life will be rewarded to Liu Ruyun in the end.

Ruyun, take a good look at the spirit of the sky, and I will give you an answer. Li Qianlan didn't cry or laugh or respond, but just invaded her body a little, and threw some paper money and ingots into the brazier.

The fire suddenly became hot, and the sound of whistling fire followed, as if Liu Ruyun was responding to her words.

"Prince Chengxian has arrived..."

Qiu Yun wanted to say something else, when the eunuch's loud report came from outside, the filial piety guards in the hall were stunned for a moment, and they turned their heads to look in the hall, it was the news of Liu Ruyun's death, the first emperor who came to mourn Nobility.

Prince Chengxian is the only son of Empress Zheng, the grandson of Zheng Chenghao, and the only one who did not underestimate Liu Zhaorong, how could Li Qianlan be negligent, she got up from the ground and greeted him outside the door.

The little prince is nine years old and only half the height of an adult. He looks very much like Empress Zheng. At this time, his gentle face reveals deep sadness. Like Li Qianlan, he is dressed in white with a hemp rope tied around his waist.

"Your Majesty the Prince!" Li Qianlan was moved by the little prince, she knelt on the ground and gave a big gift to Prince Chengxian.

"Mother and concubine are in a great funeral, Master Li does not need to give such a heavy gift." Prince Chengxian greeted him sensiblely, and stretched out his hand to help Li Qianlan, his immature and clear voice was choked with sobs: "When the mother was born, she often warned the son Minister, my father's concubines are all my son's mother and queen. No matter whether they are favored or not, my son should do all my filial piety to her. A few days ago, my son went out of the palace to the uncle's house and found out that my father had newly accepted a concubine. , originally wanted to enter the palace and come back to pay my respects to the concubine mother, but I don't want to see you again, it's a yin and yang gap..."

Prince Chengxian recalled Empress Zheng's appearance and teachings when she was alive, and recalled how desperately she called out when Empress Zheng stopped here, so at this point, he was full of tears and couldn't continue, and stepped into the hall to kowtow to Liu Ruyun and cry , The sad voice resounded inside and outside the hall, and everyone present was crying.

Knowing that the prince is wise, and seeing him today, Li Qianlan felt hesitant. She looked at Prince Chengxian whose forehead was pink and tears were streaming down his face. Finally, the tears could not be suppressed anymore, and they rushed out.

After seven days, the concubine stopped for three days.

Three days later, Liu Ruyun went to the funeral. It was raining outside that day. Emperor Ying never took a step forward, nor did he let the ministers enter the palace to cry for the funeral. Therefore, Liu Ruyun's funeral was undoubtedly a deserted scene. The new coffin made for her A group of court ladies and eunuchs followed behind. If Prince Chengxian hadn't escorted him all the way, these slaves would have ended Liu Ruyun's funeral hastily.

On the second day of Liu Ruyun's death, Li Qianlan was summoned by Emperor Ying to return to the imperial study room to copy the unfinished list. At this time, she was sitting in the imperial study room and heard the indistinguishable cry of seeing off the soul, suppressing the tears for many days It slid out again and dripped on the silk cloth on the table.

Tears soaked the cloth, scattered the ink, and blurred the handwriting. She rubbed the silk cloth, took out a new silk cloth and spread it out, and while picking up the pen to copy again, she said in her heart: "Ruyun, go all the way, I will remember, I'll remember it all."

If you can’t fall in love with him, then just hate him happily. I don’t care. As long as your heart is full of my image and my name, Emperor Ying sat aside to review the memorial. Naturally, I saw this scene. He raised the corner of his mouth, said nothing, just lowered his head and continued to review.

The ten lists that could be copied in one day were finally finished by Li Qianlan on the second day after Liu Ruyun's funeral.

"Return to the emperor, the ministers have copied all these lists." Li Qianlan held the ten copies of the list of party sentences in front of Emperor Ying, his eyes fell on the legs of the desk, and his face was as usual with ice-like indifference .

Emperor Ying had offended Li Qianlan deeply. In the past three days, Li Qianlan never took the initiative to say a word to him except to ask him to leave. Most of the time, he asked a question, and Li Qianlan would answer. There they just copied and didn't speak for a day, and the two of them never bickered back and forth in the past.

Emperor Ying raised his head and glanced at Li Qianlan. She still looked cold and lifeless, so he immediately lowered his head when he saw the strangeness, and then dealt with the affairs of the court, gave a cold "um" and waved to her. Signaled that she could go out.

Li Qianlan didn't see Yingdi waving, and guessed Yingdi's meaning when she heard the voice, she put down the list, turned around and walked out of the imperial study room, and returned to Xiuyiyuan to rest as Xi Gonggong asked.

Eunuch Xi came in to collect the list, and asked Emperor Ying in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can these lists be distributed to the generals of the cities?"

Emperor Ying shook his head, and said lightly: "It's burned."

"Burn?" After these days, although the turmoil outside has calmed down occasionally, it also rises and falls from time to time, becoming more and more intense.Now the voices of the people outside are spreading, and the ministers inside are also discussing repeatedly at the court, asking Emperor Ying to send troops to suppress it.

If the names of these rebellious parties are distributed to the leaders and generals of all walks of life, even if they cannot be completely wiped out, they will still be able to slander [-] to [-]% of their strength. Eunuch Xi looked at the list and couldn't figure it out, so his thoughts turned to Li Qianlan.

Although Li Qianlan's elder brother was an aide to the former prince, she might not be able to take over her elder brother's support, nor might she be able to follow her to find the location of the former princeling's forces.After burning these lists, how are we going to attack the forces of the former princelings, and how are we going to appease the suffering people in various cities?

When Emperor Yingdi was young, Eunuch Xi was by his side. However, Eunuch Xi was just by his side, and he just knew more about his habits than others. As for Eunuch Xi’s intelligence, Emperor Ying has never been satisfied. .

If it weren't for his loyalty, Emperor Ying would probably drive him away ten or a hundred times.Emperor Ying rolled his eyes at him, put down the brush in his hand, looked at him and asked sternly, "If you were to copy these ten lists, how long would it take you to copy them?"

"Isn't your majesty making fun of this slave, who doesn't even know how to take a pen? If your majesty really asks this slave to copy, I'm afraid it's possible for this slave to copy for half a month?" Eunuch Xi scratched his head, playfully grimacing. Said.

It was the biggest failure in his life to train such a slave, and Emperor Ying was speechless.

Seeing this, Eunuch Xi knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words: "If the emperor wants to assume that the slave can write, assuming that the slave can write as well as Li Qianlan, the slave thinks that one day is enough."

Emperor Ying got some comfort: "How many days did Li Qianlan copy for me?"

"It took nearly four days to finish copying." Eunuch Xi counted carefully with his fingers: "Presumably Liu Zhaorong's death also affected her, Mr. Li has no intention of copying."

"In your eyes, she just copied carelessly?" Emperor Ying asked back, his tone a little harsher.

Eunuch Xi was stunned, not knowing what deep calculations were behind this.

"I killed Liu Ruyun, do you think Li Qianlan has no hatred for me in her heart, if she has hatred, she will use every opportunity to fight back against me, and now the only power she can rely on is these judges. In your eyes, she is very simple, but in my eyes, she has secretly memorized all the names on this list." Emperor Ying smiled strangely and deeply: "Can the turmoil outside be subsided in a few days? Now let's see if Li Qianlan will send out the list in his hand."

If they were sent out, they would naturally have to take into account the power of the imperial court, so they would naturally be quiet for a while, and then find an opportunity to make trouble.As long as they calm down, it can prove that Li Qianlan and them secretly colluded. Emperor Ying only needs to send a secret sentry to watch Li Qianlan secretly, and he can follow her to find the gathering place of the former princeling forces, and then send troops to kill them in one fell swoop. Kill it all and end the cat-and-mouse game you've been playing with the party for years.

If the turmoil outside did not subside after a few days, it would not be too late for him to dispatch troops.

In the evening, Li Qianlan sat in the room, looking at the blank paper in front of her, but couldn't write for a long time.

Eunuch Xi was right, and Emperor Ying was right too. These days, she copied them intentionally or unintentionally, and memorized all the names, but whether she should report to Liu Jingyi, she was still hesitant like that day Indecision.

Liu Jingyi has always been not very obedient to her words. It may not be a bad thing to let him suffer a little setback, but how long will it take to recover after losing his vitality? Li Qianlan is eager for revenge, and she is afraid that she will not be able to wait.But if the information is reported, Yingdi's old and cunning fox will naturally be the first to suspect her, and will naturally force her to tell Liu Jingyi's whereabouts.

It has never been Li Qianlan's style to die before leaving school.

The moon was shining brightly, but for a moment it couldn't see through Li Qianlan's entangled thoughts.

Tomorrow is the day of the full moon, and it is the time to contact Liu Jingyi. If you miss tomorrow, it will be a month later. Li Qianlan can't imagine how many things can happen in a month.

Li Qianlan thought about it all night, but to no avail, she fell asleep with her clothes on.
