"Is he only allowed to solve the problem by hurting my heart? I am a human being, not a lamb to be slaughtered." Even in anger, she did not slander her beauty, just like a flower covered with frost in the snow. flower.

"In the same way, I will give it back to you on behalf of Emperor Yongde." Yan Yan didn't show any more sympathy because of her anger, and there was no sympathetic response in her voice, "If you like him, he will like you ?Even without Empress Li, he can’t give his heart to you, understand?”

"On the day of entering the palace, there is no way out for me." Li Lu's face was full of embarrassment at being poked at the center of the matter, and she hated the indifference of that matter that had nothing to do with her. She could understand the pain if the knife was not on her body. ?
"The courtiers didn't retreat when they helped Emperor Yongde to that position." Yan Xie played with the warm incense burner in front of him, and asked lightly, "Now you want to tell me, this is what he should have suffered as a royal child?"

"Isn't it?" Li Lu smiled sadly.

Supporting Xiaoji with her arms, Yan Xiou approached three points, and asked meaningfully: "Then who deprived him of his original path?"

Li Lu didn't understand the meaning of her words, she looked back at the relaxed woman in front of her in a daze, and heard her say even more frightening words.

"When the crown prince passed away, the empress also died of illness not long after. Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Seeing Li Lu's unbelievable eyes, Yan Yan couldn't help smiling, "So the empress didn't know it at all?"

"The meaning of what you said is that you are talking about the great crime of treason." Li Lu's eyes were full of accusations, she straightened her body and stared.

"That's right! It's treason, so Majesty knows how kind-hearted the Holy Majesty is. She didn't investigate the cause of the prince's death, nor did she investigate the cause of the empress's illness, but is that what he is willing not to pursue?" Yan Xi ignored the accusation. He suddenly giggled, "That's because the clans deceived his mother's family that there was no one behind him, and the Li family of pure ministers never interacted with the courtiers. Shi, isn’t this what the gentry want?”

Li Lu felt chills down her spine when she heard that, she couldn't imagine the reason why Emperor Yongde ascended to the throne, and there was a shocking conspiracy hidden behind it...

"Are you afraid?" Yan Xie slender knuckles slid across the edge of the table, dipped some tea soup from the cold tea cup on the table, and wrote a few words on the small table.

Haiyantang

Li Lu's heart turned cold when she saw it. It was the place where courtiers often gathered for banquets and drinks. It had excellent privacy, and the attendants were notoriously tight-lipped. No one in the capital knew that it was Mother's dowry?

And she actually blindly believed that the Li family would be her best backing. The calm and indifferent woman in front of her would never do meaningless things. Could it be that the Hou Mansion really planned something she didn't know about?

The words Li Huanzhi said to her suddenly floated into her mind at this moment...

"When Shu'er ascends the throne, you will be the most honorable person in the harem."

"Low-key, the most indispensable thing in the harem is an arrogant stupid woman."

"Everything outside the palace is mine, and I can educate Shu'er with peace of mind, and wait for the day when he ascends the throne."

"Find a chance and send a message to Concubine Yue Gui. Brother Li Cheng has gone to Mount Guiwu."

"Emperor Gongshun is interested in Jing'an Bofu's prostitute, so give Concubine Yue a chance."

"There is no Concubine Yue, but there is a Xian Concubine, send him a message too."

"The fewer women in the harem, the better for you."

"Don't be afraid, Concubine De Gui doesn't have the support of her mother's family, so she won't be able to turn around any troubles."

Inside the palace walls, she had no idea of ​​any collusion between the Hou Mansion and the Beijing family, and looking at the woman with a sneer in front of her, her heart was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

It turned out that all the planning started before Emperor Yongde ascended the throne, only she foolishly thought that she was marrying into the side of her beloved, even if she wasn't the queen, she willingly guarded his harem.

Who would have thought that everything would be such a ridiculous result...

I always thought that Li Ze's coming to find her could change this helpless passivity, but it turned out to be just a joke, a joke that Li Ze was afraid of being exposed...

The stubborn eyes were finally stained with helplessness, and the tears of being deceived kept lingering in her eyes for a long time. It was her last dignity and face, unwilling to admit that she had been bullied by her family for more than [-] years.

"When did you know about Li Ze?" Li Lu suppressed her sobs.

"If I say, he knew as soon as he left Zhiyun Island, what do you think?" Yan Xie didn't respond to her as a victor, but only felt that she was a poor victim of the family.

Li Lu smiled desolately. Li Ze thought that he could win the power from Li Huanzhi, covering the sky with one hand in Yongcheng, but he never imagined that he was always under the prying eyes of others, and was even used by others to eradicate the dissident Qin Chang.

In terms of defeat, the Li family really won and lost without any suspense.

"I know what's wrong with Li Ze's body, and I specially found a doctor from the southern country to send it to him!" Yan Xi wrote down the name of the imperial physician Yuanhe on the small table, "The Xiang family is worried. The Nian family has a different heart, so after learning his identity, they rushed to Yongcheng day and night to tell him, do you think I can send him to Li Ze's side in gratitude?"

Luan Yi's petty temper is disturbing, but she is willing to entrust her life to the young man of the Rong family, which is considered to be a concern of Luan Fu, and it is a good thing to stay on Zhiyun Island and not return to Southern Chu to cause trouble .

"What do you want me to do?" Li Lu was confused. If she knew everything, why did she allow Li Ze to do whatever she wanted in Yongcheng?

Yan Yan rested her cheeks, tapped Xiaoji lightly with her long fingers and said with a smile, "Your child's name is after all on the imperial jade certificate, if he is your concubine Li Shu, his future will naturally not be the same as that of the first two children. "

Yan Xi laughed at herself in her heart, did being a mother finally make her soft-hearted?
Li Lu looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, and couldn't believe that she was lucky enough to escape.

Yan Xie's eyes were shining brightly, she tilted her head and asked, "What the Zhongyonghou Mansion always wants is an obedient emperor, is that what you want?"

"The emperor is subject to courtiers, can he still be the supreme nine-five-year-old? Respect should not be abused." Li Lu frowned and denied, even though Emperor Yongde never put his mind on her, she didn't want him to be a puppet.

"I hope you remember what you told me today." Yan Xie stood up neatly and smoothed the creases on the skirt. She didn't come here tonight to make people unhappy, "I don't know if you will agree to the next development. I will like it, don't worry about it at the Li family, who knows who else is going to come out and dance? Calm down and watch!"

Watching the slender figure gradually disappear behind the palace gate, Li Lu finally understood that the Li family was just a bait in her eyes!

They wanted to know how many other courtiers were involved in this matter, how many familiar faces in the court these years had been pulled out, and how many people from the aristocratic family really stood out from Chunweili?
Therefore, the influence of various families in the court gradually weakened...
