Li Huang - Chapter 254
The doctor nodded: “When you return to the emperor, the damsel is also poisonous. Fortunately, the amount is not large, so it should be able to save your life.”
Shen Xiyao nodded, showing a touch of relief. He picked me up, and I clung to his neck tightly like a little beast, showing a frightened expression: “The emperor, someone wants to harm the concubine and the emperor.”
He lowered his head and kissed my tearful eyes, and his own eyes were red: “Don’t be afraid, I am here.”
Overnight, white lanterns were hung in the palace, and the concubines put on plain white linen to guard the spirit of the emperor’s eldest son. The concubine Xian naturally presided over all matters for me, and she was also in order.
I stayed in Kunning Palace all day long to extract poison, drank a jar of bitter medicine, and most of them would vomit again, and my body became weaker and weaker after wounding my internal organs, but at any rate I took my life back.
Hui Ju occasionally reproached: “The mother shouldn’t have a second bite that day.”
I held the medicine bowl in one hand and smiled faintly: “If the poisoning is very shallow, how can I get rid of it.”
“That lady shouldn’t be joking about her life.” Hui Ju pursed her lips: “Now the emperor is rigorously investigating. It is estimated that in a few days, she will find out that she is the envoy of her concubine.
“She lifted a rock and hit her in the foot. The eldest son of the emperor is gone, so I can’t blame others.” I remembered that it was a dangerous move that day, if something went wrong, it was me who was crying now.
“Unexpectedly, the eldest son of the emperor really grabbed Xuan’er’s honeydew, so it’s no wonder that others, he wanted to drink it.” Huiju seemed to excuse.
“Hefei teaches Shengyuan that Xuan’er’s things can be grabbed, and the brothers don’t distinguish each other. The palace told Xuan’er that as long as it is Shengyuan’s fancy, no matter what snacks or utensils are in, they will be given to him. Because a man is a man. Don’t be stingy, schoolwork is the most important thing.” I took a sip of the medicine, it was really bitter, but the good medicine was bitter and life-killing, it was the sweetest wine. It’s like the thin slices of ice in the sun floating in a peach blossom jade bowl, so appetite is greatly increased, who knows, it is actually made of ice wine?
So, only my bowl of ice has a problem. And the origin of this ice must come from Hefei’s instruction.
Sure enough, a few days later, Ruixiang beside Hefei couldn’t bear to move with fear. Seeing that I wanted to use a second bowl that day, and Xuan’er asked her for a second bowl, they instructed her to put the wine on the ice and send it back to the imperial dining room on the grounds that she could not use ice in her body.
Ruixiang confessed, in fact, it was false to send it back, and it was true to meet the eunuch. She lied that I was too hot and wanted to use more ice. When the little **** was distressed, she gave the little eunuch’s ice to the **** like a favor, and she deliberately picked up the deepest piece to eat. After that, he followed all the way back to the banquet, watching the little **** put the ice in the ice bucket into the peach blossom jade bowl, and then returned to Hefei.
The intention of Hefei’s move is no longer obvious, she wants to kill me and Xuan’er with one stone. In this way, Shengyuan must be crowned prince, and Ruixiang can clear the relationship after eating ice.
As soon as the results came out, he and the concubine repeatedly called for injustice and prayed that Shen Xiyao would check again. But Ruixiang is the maid of Paixue Palace, she is the most trusted, how can she slander her? The motive for her move was reasonable. Huiju found Zhen’er and Suxin again, and said that although Haoyue found them back then, he concubine was actually behind the scenes. At the same time, after several years of searching, the third brother finally found Yuyi Yan. He also testified that he and the concubine instructed him and ordered the two imperial physicians to lie, and then chased him down. He hid in the mountains incognito to save his life, but he did not expect the Feng family to be murdered by the Feng family.
Shen Xiyao was deeply heartbroken apart from the anger. I don’t know if it is because he doesn’t want to see **** death again, or can’t let go of his true love for many years. He didn’t ask the guilt and concubine, but demoted the Feng Jiahe clan to Baiyue, and confine his concubine to Paixue Palace, and provide it according to the beauty.
Ruixiang, Zhen’er, and Su Xin were sent to Beijiang as officials and maidservants. They could only do the cheapest hard work all their lives, and the doctor Yan gave him death. I secretly asked someone to replace Ruixiang and let her go home.
Hefei’s cries are like tarsal maggots, and every night is her heart-piercing wailing for injustice.
I was impatient and said to Huiju: “The eldest son of the emperor is gone, and the fifth emperor is a silly boy, and the concubine must be very remorseful, and it is normal to be crazy.”
Hui Ju said: “The slave and maid got it.”
Three months later, the concubine and concubine lost their heart, the treatment was ineffective and finally the cold and dilapidated Paixuegong.
At this point, my revenge was finally over.
When the concubine and concubine died, there was no one in the harem who could compete with me. Although Yi Fei is favored, she clings to me. Although the other concubines have princes, they cannot be compared with me and Xuan’er. Since that banquet, Shen Xiyao often came to Kunning Palace to visit me, but the past so many years have gone, and the original affection and intimacy has long been lost, only polite and strange.
I am my dignified queen, he is his wise king, and he seems to be a perfect match.
On New Year’s Eve this year, Shen Xiyao announced to the world that he made his son Shen Shengxuan the prince.
The days in Kunning Palace are noble and worry-free, and I don’t know how many people admire them. But my heart is getting more and more empty, getting quieter and quieter, like a pool of stagnant water, hard to ripple. Maybe it’s the enmity and enmity, Xuan’er’s future has been determined, I am like an old lady who has nothing to ask for.
In the autumn of the following year, Princess Yu changed her daily life and went to the palace to visit me from time to time.
I think she might be lonely. After hearing that the women in the palace had fought for a few years, they discovered that Wang Yu was actually kind to everyone and alienated, so they turned their attention to the peony that was raised outside, and they made a fuss for a while. But King Yu never asked or favored anything between them. After fighting for so many years and fighting for so many years, none of them had made a difference, and none of them captured the heart of King Yu.
Princess Yu enters the palace and doesn’t talk about this. She loves embroidering female celebrities and knows that I am a national embroidery expert. I hope I can teach her and embroider a purse for Wang Yu. Asked me how to manage the house, and I often asked the concubine to come over to make tea and discuss the Tao.
On this day, Princess Yu entered the palace and brought Rouran’s specialty milk jujube honey wine, which was made from fresh milk, candied dates and snow water, and sealed under a jujube tree for three years. It is luscious with a milky aroma and has a silky smooth taste in the mouth. It does not taste like wine, but like a sweet soup. But the stamina was so great that after drinking three of them, Princess Yu blushed her cheeks. I also felt dizzy, and Concubine Xian was even lying on the table.
“The princess has been married to the prince for six years, why hasn’t she been pregnant yet?” Concubine Xian asked concerned.
“A woman who is pregnant is a blessing from heaven. I am afraid that Zi Yan will not have this blessing if she wants to come.” Princess Yu answered with a wry smile.
“In fact, there are some prescriptions among the people, and the princess can try it in private.” Yi Fei’s eyes are full of drunkenness, and her speech is not so disciplined. “The other people in the palace are not pregnant. The princess must be careful. Don’t let the prince be outside.”
“If he really has someone out there, Zi Yan will welcome him into the mansion.” Princess Yu sighed, her eyes flooded: “But the prince is either in the court or in the study to do official duties. Sometimes he has to be free, but also Writing poems and paintings in the study is not close to me at all.”
“Huh?” Concubine Xian asked in surprise: “Wang Ye doesn’t?”
I interrupted the absurd conversation with a smile, “As a general and the emperor’s most trusted brother, the prince naturally has a lot of official duties, and the princess has to take care of it.” I filled up sober soup for both of her: “If there is another Outside the house, the prince is upright and responsible, and I am afraid that he will not secretly raise a small child, and he does not need it. So the prince need not worry too much.”
Concubine Xian nodded, but still suspiciously said: “If it is busy, the emperor will be busier, the same?”
I coughed slightly, and Concubine Xian picked up the sober soup and drank and stopped talking. I picked up the ball fan and slapped it. I accidentally realized that Princess Yu was observing me carefully, a little doubt arose in my heart, but she didn’t care too much.
That night, Shen Xi came to Kunning Palace and learned that Princess Yu had been here in the daytime, and was unexpectedly silent for a long time.
He sat at the table and looked at the memorial. I saw the worry between his eyebrows. I only put the lotus seed soup beside him, fanned him with one hand, and received the scattered things scattered on the table aside.
“There was a memorial report at the border gate this morning. The Dayue clan’s army and my Daxi soldiers faced off at Tianmenguan for several months. Recently, more troops have been added to strengthen patrols, and there have been occasional conflicts.” Shen Xiyao wrote Zhu Cong on the memorial report. Said: “I am a little worried, I just hope that there will be no more beacon smoke.”
I replied: “Although the Dayue cavalry is strong, but always beware of the Gaoche family who are still on the grassland. Daxi is rich and strong. I think he will not be easily disturbed.”
Shen Xiyao put aside his royal pen and sighed: “Old Gaochewang died of illness, and the new king’s Yan family is the sister of the Dayue King. Now they are in a harmonious relationship. The report also said that Rouran and Dayue have had close private contacts recently. If the three of them unite to deal with Daxi, I am afraid there will be a tough battle to be fought.”
I blurted out: “Isn’t Princess Yu Rouran’s most beloved daughter? Once a war breaks out, Princess Yu will be guilty first.”
Shen Xiyao smiled: “If you love her again, it’s not the same as sending Daxi.”
I fell silent. Indeed, Zi Yan came here in peace for Rouran. She couldn’t help herself. No matter whether her husband-in-law was a fool or a fool, she could only accept with a smile. Fortunately, Xi He is a man with a breeze like Jiyue, and it is her blessing to treat her sincerely.
On New Year’s Eve, the Dayue clan, the Gaoche clan and Rouran, took advantage of the slackness of the officers and soldiers during the New Year’s Eve, and suddenly aggressively violated it.
Shen Xiyao was furious and conscripted the army to fight. He and Xihe often lined up in the Imperial Study Room and discussed it all night. Every time, Princess Yu came to Kunning Palace to wait and learn some embroidery stitches to pass the time.
Don’t want the war ahead to be stalemate, any move of the Daxi army is in the opponent’s plan. Coupled with the fact that some of the soldiers who were recruited were not used to the wind and sand of the grassland and the extreme cold of winter, Da Yue carefully used the medicine in the drinking water, which led to the outbreak of malaria, and there was a tendency of defeat.
Shen Xiyao sent additional troops while investigating where the news was leaked. After checking and investigating, it was Princess Yu who secretly informed Rouran about the plan to kill the enemy agreed by Shen Xiyao and Xihe, and leaked the military aircraft.
After Xi He got the news, he personally tied Princess Yu and sent it to the clan mansion, and then asked to lead the soldiers to fight. Shen Xiyao was right.
