Chapter 88 Chapter 31 Deep Palace

He raised his no longer young face, the tiredness between his brows was accompanied by wrinkles, deeply engraved like a knife, and he said worriedly: "Shu'er, actually, I don't understand what you want to do. You are really so talented." Be sure, will King Qi definitely rebel?" I gently stroked the lines between my father's brows, and tried my best to smile confidently: "The news from Su Xu is naturally very reliable, and I have also sent someone to verify it, and there is a secret arrangement by King Wei. Error." Rong Jincheng sighed: "Dozens of lives of the Rong family have already been placed in your hands."

Rong Jincheng's heavy walking steps stepped heavily on my heart, I opened my mouth and tried my best to bend a smile, but I couldn't. It was already dark outside the house, the early spring wind blew by, and the treetops whistled, roaring like winter had passed. After one night, the plum blossoms will fall again.When the plum blossoms fall, the newly bloomed leaves will slowly unfold like a child's smiling face. Five days later, Tang Taizong came to court.Quan Wanji's memorandum, Dongfang Qingyao's first book, and Rong Jincheng's love letter have all been neatly stacked on Li Shimin's dragon case.

On the second day, an imperial edict was issued: Liu Dewei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, set off immediately to Qizhou to thoroughly investigate the matter. On the next day, Concubine Yang Shu ordered me to enter the palace. The rattling palace chariot that took me from Shuyuan to the palace that day staggered again to Anlimen, passed through long alleys and countless palaces, and sent me to Fenghuayuan. There are no more crisp laughter in front of the Fenghua Courtyard, and the pond that was once full of lotus flowers does not even have a single leaf left, and the green water is shaking quietly.Rows of willows shaded like smoke are just an old dream of that day, now they are full of withered long stalks, hanging lifelessly, with an indescribably decadent air, and I don’t know when new green will emerge.

Fenghua Courtyard is still magnificent and noble, Qingyi is independent of a corner of the garden, it seems that it will never compete with others, and has nothing to do with the world. Concubine Yang Shu was sitting in front of the hall, and when she saw me coming, she saluted respectfully, smiled slightly, raised her hand to signal the maid to help me sit on the side, and then looked at me carefully. "Shu'er, you have lost a lot of weight. In the past two years, you seem to have suffered a lot?" Concubine Yang Shu held the teacup in one hand, and held the lid of the teacup in a beautiful posture with the other, gently blowing the tea leaves in the cup, Tsinghua is indescribably noble.

Just looking closely, the slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes have become more dense.If it wasn't for her natural white skin, which covered up many blemishes, her beauty would have faded away. I secretly sighed in my heart for these unforgiving years, and replied gently: "I'm fine, after all, I've returned home, and being taken care of by my father and family is better than anything else. Madam, it seems that the Qing Dynasty has also diminished?" King Wu almost also Caught in the vortex of privately forging weapons in Dongfang Qingyao, Concubine Yang Shu fell ill because of this. I don't know if she has woken up from her son's dream of a former emperor.

Concubine Yang Shu raised her frowning brows slightly, put down the teacup, signaled the maids and servants to step back, took the door behind them, and then smiled at me, pulling out the elegant but deeply wrinkled smile lines on her lips, Said: "The King of Qi sent someone to take you to Qizhou and put you under house arrest for more than two years?" I knew it must be because Li Shimin didn't want to send someone to interrogate me openly, so I asked Concubine Yang Shu to ask me about the situation, so she lowered her head, letting her long black hair fall over her cheeks, only her curly eyelashes were exposed, and she flicked her lightly. tears.

Concubine Yang Shu couldn't bear to sigh: "At the beginning, I intended to let you stay by Ke'er's side, but unfortunately, you didn't want to. Is King Qi treating you well?" I choked up and said: "King Qi took me there because the Dongfang family was famous for forging weapons in the previous dynasty, and wanted to coerce Dongfang Qingyao to forge weapons for him privately. As a hostage, it doesn't matter if it's good or not." Concubine Yang Shu was in a daze, and said: "Well, when the three of you lived with me back then, I heard that you were married to a child from the Dongfang family, and it turned out to be him. What a pity, I heard that he later married your sister?"

I smiled sadly and said: "Yes. Although he has feelings for me, he is not filial in three ways. Having no offspring is the biggest thing. Marrying my sister is much more nostalgic than marrying someone else." Concubine Yang Shu's bright eyes emerged, she came over and gently wiped away my tears with a soft veil, and said with a choked voice, "You are also a poor child." There was a faint fragrance from her sleeves, like orchids and musk deer, and it was much more elegant and refreshing, which cleared the mind after smelling it.She has always used this fragrance, presumably because she is forcing herself to stay awake to the maximum extent all the time.

Concubine Yang Shu looked at me intently. Seeing that my tears were drying up, she asked me where I lived in Qizhou and who I had contact with.I have asked someone to investigate clearly, and through the news with Su Xu, the answers are fluent, Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo, Liang Menghu and others' tempers and personalities are one by one, and there is absolutely no error.Thinking of what happened to me, I shed a few tears from my heart, but it was easy, and it seemed more sincere.If I go back to the 21st century, if I go to acting, I will probably be qualified. King Qi may not be an opponent to Concubine Yang Shu's Li Ke.With such subjective factors, as long as there are no obvious flaws in my answer, Concubine Yang will definitely believe it.Listening to my story to the end, Concubine Yang Shu's expression was even more gentle and loving. She gently stroked my black hair with her luxuriant hands, and sighed softly: "Then, stay in the palace for a few days and talk to me, wait Let’s go back after the first month.”

I hurriedly nodded and said yes. Since then, for several days, I have lived in the same house in Fenghua Courtyard, playing chess with Concubine Yang Shu, sipping tea, and admiring flowers in my free time to pass the long days.It's just that without Lianhua and Luoluo as companions, even a leisurely life would be extremely boring. What's more, I have something on my mind, and I am not leisurely. I only brought Baima by my side when I entered the palace, although there are quite a few servants in the palace, it is very inconvenient for me to find out the news.All I know is that Dongfang Qingyao has been taken out of the death row of the Ministry of Punishment and moved to another ordinary cell. The treatment has improved greatly, but family members are still not allowed to visit.

But at this time, family members are not allowed to visit the prison, but I can understand that Li Shimin did not want to spread the story of Qi Wang Li You's rebellion, so as not to startle the snake. Liu Dewei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, went to Qizhou to inquire about King Qi, but there is no news yet.But how could King Qi escape the doomed wheel of fate?All I have to do is wait. It was already the end of the first lunar month, and I put on a lavender cloak and walked on the stone path that was once full of lily pads.Ling Xiaohua has pulled out its tender core, and new leaves like rice have emerged. Under the warm afternoon sun, it is soft and lustrous, and it is lovely green.When you want to come to the garden full of flowers, as long as the tree brackets beside it do not fall down, it can be a gorgeous and lush scene.I don't care about the beauty of Ling Xiaohua, but I really want to know, in the winter of the coming year, how many of the supports supporting Ling Xiao will not be eroded by wind and rain? As I was walking, I wondered if I could bid farewell to Concubine Yang and move back to Meiyuan tomorrow. Seeing that I had reached the end of the path, a fair and handsome young man in Chinese robes recklessly rushed past the side of the road. I couldn't avoid it. He bumped into his arms and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, the young man was still nimble, so he gave me a hand in his busy schedule, so he didn't fall, but he broke out in a cold sweat. The boy hurriedly said: "Are you okay? Which palace are you from? Shall I take you back?" The young men who can come in and out of the palace, if they are not eunuchs, must be the emperor's blood relatives.This person is gorgeously dressed, with a delicate and soft face, a pair of big eyes that are clear and clear, still carrying a trace of childishness, reflecting the fresh scenery of early spring, although not as graceful as Li Shimin's grace and sharp edges, but he has his own Duanya out of dust. Of course I didn't dare to offend the members of the royal family, so I hurriedly smiled and saluted, "I offended the young master! I'm fine, young master, please go ahead!" The young man nodded, "Yes", and looked back absent-mindedly, quite affectionately. I followed his gaze, but it was a delicate and beautiful face, slightly worried, staring at the young man. But I know this woman, she is the martial artist named Mei Niang.After more than two years, the clever and lovely Nonglian girl was even more slim, charming and charming. Seeing that I saw Wu Cairen, the boy blushed, lifted his robe, and ran away quickly. Wu Cairen has also recognized me, hesitated for a moment, and no longer dodged, walked over with a smile, her voice was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate: "Miss Rong San, long time no see!" I hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and smiled again: "Wu Cairen, he is even more beautiful than before, no wonder the emperor loves him so much, and his favor is not fading." Wu Cairen's smile had a hint of melancholy, and she sighed rather disappointed: "Your Majesty, you are kind to me. I can always see you once in a month or two. After all, Mei Niang Vulgar, not as talented as Xu Jieyu, with a noble character, who always wins the emperor's respect and love, and is always by his side." Xu Jieyu must be Xu Hui, that is, Xu Cairen who was elegant and always exudes a fresh and bookish air.Among Li Shimin's concubines, she and Empress Changsun were the only ones who were solemnly biographyed by historians and passed down in the annals of history.It is said that she is also a talented woman with a strong personality, virtuous and intelligent, and quite like a grandson.After the death of Empress Changsun, the woman in the harem that Li Shimin respected the most was Xu Hui. Although her position was not high, if there was a vacancy in the palace, she would immediately fill it up. At this time, she had been promoted to Jieyu. up. At this time, listening to the tone of Wu Cairen, there is actually a little bit of jealousy.She didn't know that after the death of Tang Taizong, the seriously ill Xu Hui refused to continue taking medicine, and as a result died quietly in his early twenties. I couldn't say anything at the moment, so I just smiled quietly: "Wu Cairen is beautiful and dignified, and he will be a man of great fortune in the future. Wu Cairen is originally a master, so why bother about immediate gains and losses?" Wu Cairen looked at me in amazement, then smiled and said: "How long will it be good for those who use sex to deal with others? But if you have one or two close friends, you are lucky." At this time, Wu Cairen is as fresh and pleasant as when he first met, and he doesn't even see any deep palace, and he doesn't have the kingly demeanor that he should have guessed.Perhaps the temperament is really created by the environment. If one day, she becomes a queen or an emperor, she will naturally ooze a female domineering spirit from her bones. I thought of the young man who left in a hurry, my heart suddenly moved, and I deliberately asked: "I have never seen that young master just now, Wu Cairen knows him?"
