"Back off!" Lian'er also called out casually, asking the palace maid to step back, but she said harshly in her heart: "You forced me to do all this! In fact, you two can plot my child! Concubine Xiao Shu , the culprit, you will definitely make you pay a heavy price!" Lian'er was also furious, and personally brought the decoction to the Imperial Pharmacy:
"Excuse me, where is the place where the medicine is cooked! I want to get medicine for the Queen!" Lian'er also entered the place where the medicine is cooked, secretly exchanged the medicine cup in his hand, and mixed Xiao Shufei's medicine cup with the one she had just made. The medicine cup was exchanged, and then she returned to the Queen's Palace with Xiao Shufei's safety medicine. At this moment, Xiao Shufei was feeling proud, "The big red flower I planted this time is really substantial! That Wu Meiniang is determined to give birth to a child in the future. No more children! I don¡¯t believe she can still take the medicine!" Concubine Xiao Shu was filled with joy. Her maid was very confident in her work and determined that there would be no problems. It was a good decision to use Queen Wang as a shield. , Little did they know that harming others will ultimately harm themselves. Concubine Xiao Shu¡¯s personal maid brought a bowl of peace medicine. The more Concubine Xiao Shu looked at the bowl of medicine, the better she felt. She drank it in a gulp, and it didn¡¯t take long after she drank it. . .
"Ah!!~Ah!~~Why does my stomach hurt so much! Big red flower!?" Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly thought of it, but later she realized that it was a big red flower, and it was not for Wu Meiniang. A bowl of soup and medicine! "Bold! Tell me! Did Wu Meiniang bribe you? How dare you help Wu Meiniang to frame me! You don't want to live anymore! Come here! Drag me out and punish me on the spot!" Concubine Xiao Shu also looked at her angrily. My personal maid is really a guard against me day and night, and it is hard to guard against domestic thieves. . .
A burst of miserable screams came from Concubine Xiao Shu's Yuxiu Palace. It was said that the previous owner of Yuxiu Palace was Concubine Yang Xian. Concubine Xiao Shu took the initiative to live in Yuxiu Palace, hoping to be tainted by the concubine's infinite glory and favor. Unexpectedly, the harem turned out to have lost the most precious thing about women so quickly, giving birth to children. When Concubine Yang Xian was with the late Emperor Taizong, she finally had no children, and finally died in love, which was also the fate of Concubine Xiao Shu. . .
"Wu Meiniang! You vicious woman! You actually used big red flowers to frame me! I'm afraid I will never have an heir in my life! It's all thanks to you Wu Meiniang! If I don't get rid of you Wu Meiniang! I won't be able to sleep well at night. Sleep" Concubine Xiao Shu also roared angrily. Waves of gloom and gloom spread throughout the Yuxiu Palace. Lian'er, who was far away in the Queen's Palace, had known the news for a long time. Concubine Xiao Shu harmed others and ultimately herself, what does it have to do with me? ! ?
In this matter, Concubine Xiao Shu could only eat Coptis chinensis in silence. After all, she wanted to harm others first, but she was only reaping the consequences. This made Concubine Xiao Shu even more angry. The queen the next day said:
"I, my concubine, meet the Queen! The Queen may live a thousand years!" All the concubines also came to the Queen's Palace to pay their respects to the Queen as usual! However, Concubine Xiao Shu looked pale and walked over feebly to say goodbye. How could what happened in Yuxiu Palace yesterday escape the eyes of her as a queen? After all, the death of a palace maid is not a trivial matter!
At this moment, Lian'er also stepped forward to pour tea for the queen and the concubines, and poured tea for Concubine Xiao Shu with a smile on her face. Concubine Xiao, on the other hand, looked at Lian'er with a cold eyebrow, as if she wanted to eat her, "Sister Concubine Shu! I am I heard what happened in your palace yesterday! Why did you kill your maid? When a maid in the palace dies, I always have the final say, so why did you kill your personal maid directly after killing her first!" Queen Wang was also a little angry because Concubine Xiao Shu did this! Where is the majesty of the Queen? . .
"I am punishing you as a slave! Do I need to ask my sister for instructions!?" Concubine Xiao Shu was full of resentment. For a feudal woman, she couldn't have children, so what kind of woman was she? . .
He glanced at Lian'er angrily and said: "That slave has offended me and actually talked privately with the maids of other palaces! I want to punish her! As a concubine of the harem, I am considerate of the Queen's sixth palace affairs. I'm busy, so I took charge of the duties for you, the Queen, you won't mind, right?" Concubine Xiao Shu also looked at Lian'er with a cold expression, and suddenly her heart lit up, and she couldn't help but take it into consideration. . .
"Oh!? Are you talking too much!? It's not like we just throw it away! What on earth made Sister Shufei so angry!" Queen Wang couldn't help but become curious. Looking at Xiao Shufei's pale face and depressed look, she felt in her heart But happy. . .
"Empress! You don't know! Saying this really brings disgrace to the harem of the Tang Dynasty! It is also related to the reputation of the emperor! I dare not say it! That's why I silenced her!" Concubine Xiao Shu also glanced at Lian Lian. Son, said with a sly smile. . .
"Tell me! Since it has damaged the face of the Tang harem and the reputation of the emperor, isn't this palace mismanaged? You should reflect on yourself and tell me!" Queen Wang was also moved in her heart, and she didn't know what Concubine Xiao Shu wanted to do. ?
"Queen's Empress"?That concubine said it! I was resting in the palace, and my maid came in, muttering, 'So Wu Meiniang next to the queen is a talented person of the late emperor! Those eunuchs and maids all said that the child was not born to her and the emperor at all! I think so! Wu Meiniang is still just a maid next to the Queen! It's not that easy! If not for that child! She is still working as a nun at Ganye Temple! ! It would be great if I could also be the empress and share a drop of rain and dew with the empresses in the palace! ¡¯¡± As soon as Concubine Xiao Shu said this, the entire Queen¡¯s Palace was shocked and looked at Lian¡¯er The atmosphere was tense.
Lian'er was also extremely angry. This Concubine Xiao Shu, who failed to harm me yesterday, actually dared to speak nonsense in the Queen's Palace today. However, she might have guessed this matter, because Lian'er didn't know whose child Hong'er was. !
"That's enough! Concubine Xiao Shu! This is my palace maid! When you say this, doesn't it mean that I am the head of the Sixth Palace, the King of Phoenixes, and take the lead in disrupting the peace of the harem! How can the rumors be taken seriously! They are just a joke after dinner!" Queen Wang He also retorted vigorously. . .
"My concubine is just trying to conceal this matter! In order to save the face of you, the empress, the entire harem, and the reputation of the emperor!" Concubine Xiao Shu was also affectionate and glanced at Lian'er with even more disdain, and Lian'er was already in a state of confusion at this moment. . .
What Concubine Xiao Shu said makes no sense! I am afraid that he will soon join forces with Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others to start taking certain actions in the court. I am afraid that all this will not be controlled by him, but it still depends on Li Zhi's attitude. . .
"Okay! Let's all disperse! Instruct the maids and eunuchs in each palace! Don't gossip in private. You should also learn from Concubine Xiao Shu's example!" Queen Wang also frowned slightly and waved her hand to let the concubines retreat. Down. . .
"Concubine, please retire!" All the concubines, including Concubine Xiao Shu who was smiling, left the Queen's Palace, and only Lian'er and Queen Wang were left in the Queen's Palace. Queen Wang's face also became a little gloomy, and she slowly said:
"Wu Meiniang! I don't want to take you into the palace and help you declare the decree! It's just to make you come to cause trouble in the harem! Remember this for me! No matter what I did before, I'm sorry for you! Or what happens next? I'm sorry! That's all what I did for the Tang Dynasty and the emperor! Although it can't be compared with the Empress Dowager Changsun, it is enough!" After Queen Wang finished speaking, she said nothing and returned to the palace. Er also secretly felt bad, if this child was Yixuan's! That. . .
At night, the palace of Prime Minister Changsun Wuji was brightly lit:
"Old minister, please see Concubine Shu!" Changsun Wuji was also reading in the study, and he couldn't help but think about the secret edict that had been sent to the court that morning! At this time, Concubine Xiao Shu was actually wearing light green night clothes, accompanied by several palace maids, and arrived at the Changsun Mansion. . .
"Lord Changsun! Please get up quickly! I'm going to get straight to the point! I and the Queen are in the same boat as Lord Changsun now! They are fighting the same storm! That is Wu Meiniang! I came here late at night today just for Wu Meiniang The child Li Hong! Humph! I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s still a matter of research to say that the surname is Li! I have already spread the news in the harem today that Wu Meiniang¡¯s child is not the emperor¡¯s child! I also hope that Lord Changsun can attend the morning court tomorrow! To add fuel to the flames! Even if The blood test shows that he is the emperor's child! It can also solve the civil and military doubts of the entire dynasty! If not Lord Changsun! You should just This is all I have to say! Lord Changsun decides everything!" Concubine Xiao Shu also walked slowly. He left the Prime Minister's Mansion with a smile. . .
And the night passed very quickly, and the time to think about it was already over. On the second day in the court:
"Your Majesty! The old ministers and other civil and military officials in the court have a question! Since Emperor Taizong's secret edict has made everything clear! Then Wu Meiniang is the concubine that the emperor likes, but during that time in Ganye Temple, I only heard from Wu Meiniang He insists that the child Li Hong is the grandson of the late Emperor Taizong and the emperor's flesh and blood, but the veterans are half-convinced! So can the emperor and Li Hong be tested with blood, so that the veterans can rest assured and doubt!!" Changsun Wu Ji also stared at Li Zhidao. . .
"The curiosity of Master Changsun and other adults is really serious! Even the royal heirs dare to doubt! You are so bold! Presumptuous!" Lian'er had also expected that there would be no peace in the court today! He had already led Hong'er to prepare for the trip. . .
"Since Wu Meiniang and Li Hong are here, it would be better for us to confirm the royal bloodline! Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous!" Chu Suiliang also laughed! All the ministers also agreed. . .
"How dare you! You dare to question the current prince! This is the emperor's family matter! You don't need to interfere at all! Everything is left to the emperor's decision!" Lian'er had no choice but to take a gamble at this moment. The plan depends on people and the success depends on God. . .
"Prepare a mercury needle! Uncle! In order to let youConquer! I don¡¯t want to say anything more! I know what I have done myself! But today I decided to compromise! Let you shut your mouth forever! I had to drop blood for a blood test! "Li Zhi also firmly believes that the crystallization of his love for Lian'er is his own flesh and blood, so he has no fear at all. On the contrary, although Lian'er is calm on the surface, in fact he is already very upset
A timid eunuch brought a basin of water and prepared a silver needle, but Lian'er felt that this eunuch seemed familiar! But now the thousands of troops are ready to go, the arrow is on the string, and they have to be fired. . .
