palace heart

Chapter 78: Became the Enemy of the Concubines (3)
The second aunt lay on Shen Hongde's corpse and wept so darkly that the housekeeper wiped away his tears while leading people to set up the mourning hall. The other two sons of Shen Hongde had already led the family to kneel in front of the mourning hall for Shen Hongde in sackcloth and filial piety. After hearing the news, they came to bid farewell to Shen Hongde one after another, and made promises to each other to comfort Shen Hongde's spirit in heaven.

At this time, in the Shen residence surrounded by grief, only Shen Mojun was still lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed, waiting for the medicine in his body to subside.

Li Qianlan was sitting under the gazebo of the Jingyang Hall, with her head propped up, looking into the distance, her surface seemed calm like water, but her heart was churning frantically like magma under a volcano.

Qiu Yun thought that she was sad about Shen Hongde's matter, and heartbroken for Shen Mojun, so she didn't dare to disturb, and stood quietly behind her, temporarily blocking Chen Jinghua who came to report the matter, so as not to disturb Li Qianlan's peace .

"It's not that Shen wanted to blackmail Concubine Shu, but it's best for Concubine Shu to find out the truth about Li Jiang's death. Empress Dowager Gao also asks Concubine Shu to be careful in the future." Sitting there, Li Qianlan forgot about her surroundings. All, only Shen Hongde's last words rang repeatedly in his head and ears.

Empress Dowager Gao?It turned out to be Empress Dowager Gao, why didn't she think that Empress Dowager Gao's ruthlessness could also be applied to Li Jiangshi and her?

Li Qianlan recalled that Empress Zheng was healthy and healthy back then, but Empress Dowager Gao revealed that Empress Zheng was about to die, and then Empress Dowager Gao used the excuse of finding out the truth to let her out of the palace, bribed her in disguise, and asked her to put all her crimes on the ground. On Xu Meiren's body, in order to eliminate the influence of the Xu family in the court.

At that time, Li Qianlan was ruthless and scheming, and the matter was handled satisfactorily, making it difficult to see the clues. Empress Dowager Gao was obviously very satisfied. She was like Empress Dowager Gao, but she was not Empress Dowager Gao. The Empress Dowager would encourage Emperor Ying to restore Prime Minister Li's reputation and let Li Jiangshi live out of the palace.

Thinking of this, Li Qianlan's heart ached. At that time, if she could think deeply like now, Li Jiangshi would not have died at that time.

Because if you look around now, if the Empress Dowager Gao wants to settle Yingdi, except Yurong, she is the second excellent assistant. Let me ask you, who has control and ambition, who will have the most powerful people around him? The assistant let go, so it was completely impossible for Li Qianlan to leave the palace to marry, but at that time she had such a glimmer of fantasy, and ignored the deep calculations of Empress Dowager Gao.

Killing Li Jiang's family and using Wu's identity, and Wu's family is a relative of Emperor Ying, even if Li Qianlan wanted to, why would he think about Empress Dowager Gao?Therefore, dealing with the Wu family became one of Li Qianlan's main goals. If it were not for Shen Hongde's last words, she would have made the Wu family her death-defying enemy, and she might have fallen into the trap of Empress Dowager Gao again.

Li Qianlan's hand supporting her head was a little sore, she used another hand to support it, and continued to think in her heart.

Empress Dowager Gao certainly would not have thought that Shen Hongde would know about this, so she probably would not have thought that Li Qianlan already knew the truth, but it is obviously not the most suitable time for Li Qianlan to deal with Empress Dowager Gao now.

As the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so it's better to pretend first, and see what tricks she will use after Empress Dowager Gao suppresses the Shen family!I will think about how to cooperate with her again!

Li Qianlan looked at the blue sky without a trace of white clouds in the distance, raised the corners of her lips, and said in her heart: Empress Dowager Gao, if you can climb to the position of the empress dowager, support Emperor Ying to ascend the throne, and fight against Emperor Ying, then you must be extraordinary I, Li Qianlan, know that I have a low IQ and cannot compare with you. I am the biggest fool in the world right now. I will deal with whoever you ask me to deal with in the future. Let's wait and see!
Thinking of this, Li Qianlan smiled, a weird smile that made people feel a little chilled, she turned her back to Qiu Yun and asked, "When will Imperial Physician Meng enter the palace?"

"During the poisoning period, Imperial Physician Meng waited in front of the bed and dedicated himself. Yesterday he saw that the pulse of the empress was stable, so he went out of the palace to rest temporarily, and left the medicine boy to deliver medicines to Jingyang Hall. If there is no accident, Imperial Physician Meng should be able to enter the palace in the afternoon. "Qiu Yun put his hands on his chest and spoke very carefully, as if he was afraid that Li Qianlan would miss a sentence if his mind was in a trance at this time.

Li Qianlan nodded, finally turned around, and saw Chen Jinghua standing aside at a glance, their eyes suddenly met, stared blankly, smiled, Li Qianlan understood everything in his heart.

In the afternoon, Imperial Physician Meng came into the palace to diagnose Li Qianlan's pulse.

"Concubine Shu, I feel good today!" After a life and death, the two sat face to face like this, and Imperial Physician Meng took pity on Li Qianlan even more.

The people in the hall had already been dismissed when Imperial Physician Meng came in. Seeing that Imperial Physician Meng had finished his diagnosis and treatment, she withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Brother, you don't have to be unfamiliar with me. It's just my brother's younger sister. During Qianlan's poisoning, thanks to my brother's efforts to treat her, Qianlan didn't feel any pain just after waking up."

"The road to the harem is inherently difficult. If the previous dynasty still takes advantage of the disadvantages of the harem to rebel, then my sister should be more careful in the future." Doctor Mengtai is indifferent, and he has no interest in power struggles. Like the uninformed outsiders, he regarded this matter as a case of Shen Hongde's seizure of power and revenge. He looked at Li Qianlan and reminded again: "Shen Hongde just died, and Shen Mojun must be restless. Be extra careful." After speaking, he wanted to pack up the medicine box and leave.

Li Qianlan suddenly stretched out her hand to press Imperial Physician Meng to close the medicine box, stared at him, and asked sternly, "Who is the best at using poison in the harem?"

Physician Meng froze for a moment, then withdrew his hand, speechless.

Things in the harem are not peaceful. Princes and princesses have miscarriages before they leave the mother's womb. Doctor Meng has seen this kind of thing a lot. Poison is what the harem is best at, and it is also the most difficult to control and stop.

When it comes to using poison, everyone in the harem knows how to use poison, but when it comes to being the best at it, Imperial Physician Meng didn't know how to answer Li Qianlan. The heart of others, and the person who is good at poisoning with ulterior motives is the person in the palace who wants to stabilize his position and climb up, my sister looked around, among the women in the harem, who do you think has no heart to seize the queen?"

"I want to say that I don't have one, do you believe me?" Li Qianlan said with a smile, frank and pure.

Imperial Physician Meng shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Your sister is making an exception for promotion overnight, and she has won the emperor's favor, staying overnight every day. Your current situation is like that of Liu Zhaoyi back then, when you suddenly reached the top of the waves. She has become the enemy of all the concubines, my younger sister is as smart as a servant, she definitely knows what to do!"

Li Qianlan smiled wryly: "My brother's words entered into my sister's heart. My sister, like Liu Zhaoyi, has no background and no backing. The only thing I have is a courage that is not afraid of death. My brother also knows that the harem is complicated, and there are always places that people cannot guard against. I Naturally, I will be cautious, but I am afraid that the villain will be hard to guard against, and I will not escape bad luck in the end, so I ask my brother, please remember to add a little poison to the soup and medicine sent from tomorrow. A body that is resistant to poison.

There was thunder blasting down from the top of his head, and Doctor Meng was numb from the pain: "Why is my sister doing this?"

"My sister's big revenge has not been avenged. Don't let her life be hurt by a small poison again. Please remember it." It was not a discussion, but an order, Li Qianlan looked firm.

In the middle of the night, Shen Mojun woke up amidst the sound of mournful cries, and the first thing that caught his eyes was his maid Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in filial piety, her face covered with tears: "Master, you're awake..."

Shen Mojun slept in the dark for so many days. Although he didn't know what happened outside, but he could make his servants wear Xiaobai. He also knew that something big must have happened. His heart tightened, and he sat up weakly He stood up and asked with difficulty, "What's the matter? What happened?"

"Young...Master..." Xiaoxiao stepped forward to help him, weeping like tears, she was so convulsed that she couldn't speak much.

Allowing the servants to wear white clothes means that only the death of the master in the mansion will do. In this mansion, apart from Shen Hongde and Second Aunt, it is him, an older brother, and a younger brother.

Who is wrong?What happened during this period?
Shen Mojun recalled that he remembered what happened on the battlefield, what happened after he was injured, how Li Qianlan called him during his illness, how Li Qianlan had been conferred the title of Concubine Shu by Emperor Ying, and what Li Qianlan said in his ear Words: "Wake up quickly, the Shen residence is in trouble."

The Shen residence is in trouble!
Does it mean...

Looking at Xiaoxiao in filial piety and listening to the wailing outside, Shen Mo didn't dare to think about it, because he didn't want to lose any relatives. He exerted all his strength, grabbed Xiaoxiao's shoulders fiercely, and nervously Ask: "Quickly tell me, who happened?"

Xiaoxiao wiped her tears with her sleeve, and reached out to bring the filial piety that had been prepared by the bed.

Shen Mojun stretched out his hand to look at the filial piety clothes, the hemp rope, and the white hat embroidered with black flowers for the son-in-law.

"Young master, go and see the master, the master also wants to see the young master wake up, so that he can rest in peace..." Xiaoxiao put the clothes on the bed and began to help Shen Mojun put them on.

Five thunders blasted past, Shen Mojun shook his head, he didn't believe it, and didn't accept the fact, he frantically knocked off the filial piety clothes in Xiaoxiao's hand, pushed Xiaoxiao down, then struggled to get out of bed and ran towards the door, saying: "No, no , not father, not father..."

How could Dad die? Dad is a battle-tested veteran. He was seriously injured in the battlefield back then, and he survived. Now that there is something he can't survive, Shen Mojun stumbled along the white flag to find the mourning hall.
