Yan Cigui.

After listening to this, the Queen Mother put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, motioned for Lin Yunyan to sit down and said.

"I remember what you told me last time," Lin Yunyan smiled softly, "Although the prince is wrong about the tribute wine, there is really no benefit in us being so direct."

The Queen Mother patted her arm, her voice slowed down, and her tone was more worried: "Just listen to it."

Royal affairs are said to be complicated, but said to be simple, they are actually very simple.

Not to mention that she was not Li Shao's biological grandmother. Even if she was, she would not have much dignity in the end if she really made a fuss.

There are no fathers and sons in the heavenly family, let alone grandparents and grandchildren?

The empress dowager was not worried about the emperor. She was quite aware of the king she had helped to ascend to the throne.

The Holy Spirit values ​​friendship.

That day in front of her bedside, she said that she had found the cause of Li Cang's death and would never give up on pursuing the truth about Dingguo Temple. The emotion in his words was truly conveyed to her.

But it was precisely because of the emperor's affection that he favored Li Shao even more.

Li Shao was better off when he was young, but in recent years, especially after these things happened, the Queen Mother would naturally feel dissatisfied.

But those dissatisfactions were far from enough for her to go to the Holy Superior to criticize her.

If you try to intervene, it may be useful, but I'm afraid it won't be useful.

She is an old woman with unlimited glory in her life. Even if she is separated from the Holy Master, her old age will still be the same, but she has her natal family and her younger generation whom she cannot let go of.

As she told Lin Yunyan before, she will definitely be at the forefront at her age.

After she is buried in the ground, once Li Shao breaks old scores and makes trouble, where else can Lin Yunyan go to bring in reinforcements?

Being at odds with Li Shao would do no good to Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian.

Last time, the two of them got angry and attacked Li Shao with Guyue tribute wine.

Not worth it, totally not worth it.

If you really want to expose something, there are many other ways that don't reveal the truth.

Of course, the Queen Mother knew better what Lin Yunyan meant by "heart knot".

"Did Xu Jian tell you the inside story?" she asked.

Lin Yunyan nodded: "I told you."

"He doesn't hide it from you," the Queen Mother sighed, "It's better not to hide it. We trust each other and have discussions."

Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip as her eyelashes trembled.

She knows Xu Jian very well.

Xu Jian is not a person who likes to explain everything, especially in his previous life. This temper was more obvious. He would not take the initiative to come back to talk to her about his situation in the court or his conflicts with the Liu family and his son.

Lin Yunyan was also restrained at that time, and she could see that Xu Jian didn't mean to mention it, and she would not pursue it and ask.

This is how people get along with each other, and couples will also keep a certain amount of respect from each other.

This somewhat distant relationship continued until the accident.

A grasshopper on a rope is much more difficult, and there must be more communication.

As long as she focused on asking, Xu Jian would answer, thoughtfully and meticulously.

This habit continues to this day.

Over the past year or so, Lin Yunyan thought that she and Xu Jian didn't spend that much time together, but in fact there was no secret. She didn't even need to chase and ask, Xu Jian just told it naturally.

There was only one thing that Xu Jian avoided several times.

Lin Yunyan would not question whether there was enough trust between the two. Without this confidence, she and Xu Jian would not be where they are now.

She is just sad.

He had enough trust and understanding. Xu Jian knew her temper too well and knew that she would not let the wind come to her, or that she could not handle things in her heart, so he must have other considerations when he chose not to say anything.

She still needs some time to sort out this consideration, and now, she has to ask for the tiger bone.

"I feel sorry for his injury. I also know that the cause of his injury cannot be easily explained. I understand the reason why His Majesty hid it." Lin Yunyan took a deep breath. "Look, this time Chen Mi Hutong took the opportunity to attack the prince. His purpose No, still...

The other princes are too young. If the prince were not the prince, the situation would be even more chaotic.

As your Royal Highnesses grow up, this situation will continue to exist. Once everyone in the palace and harem knows how Duke Fu was injured, they will use him to pull the flag and pull it back and forth. It's hard to say who will have the upper hand. Anyway, Duke Fuguo must be the unlucky one.

This is why he has to fight even though he knows how difficult it is to heal injuries and pain.

The Holy One hopes that he can assist His Highness in the future. How could he become the sword that could stab His Highness at any time?

That's why I wanted to ask His Highness to ask for the tiger bones. The prince helped heal the injury. Even if it is mentioned in the future, it will be better. It will not only be a good thing for the Duke, but also a good thing for His Highness. "

These words were all prepared, and the only change was her state of mind.

Perhaps because she had just thought of Xu Jian Gu's thoughts behind his back, Lin Yunyan's throat became a little sore, falling into the Empress Dowager's ears, as if she was holding back tears, making her feel even more distressed.

I feel sorry for her sensibleness and also feel sorry for the future situation.

The Empress Dowager has experienced changes in the dynasty, such as strong winds and rains, lightning and thunder, how many lines are buried in the front, how many people are pulled out from behind, and how long the bedding is in front, how fast the fighting is in the back. The wind stops and the rain stops in a few days. The scattered flowers left on the ground are all names written in the imperial edict, and behind each name, there are relatives of his nine clans.

I have read more history books, and turning over page after page is filled with fear.

The Empress Dowager herself couldn't tell whether it was better to have several princes of similar age pressing closer to her like during the reign of the late emperor, or whether it was better to have a "single-out" like Li Shao now.

The former cannot escape the fight, and the latter cannot sit back and relax.

The Holy Sage is working hard to pave the way for Li Shao, but the Queen Mother is not sure whether this road will be smooth.

In the harem, most of those who give birth to princes have ambitions. Even if they are still weak now, they are not sure about the future.

The Empress Dowager hugged Lin Yunyan, her mood ups and downs.

Xu Jian will follow Li Shao. This is the arrangement of the Holy Emperor, and for Xu Jian to marry Yun Yan, in addition to the mutual affection between the two, they also have to "pave the way."

Yun Yan is A Yun's daughter, and A Yun is Li Shao's savior.

You can have both sides in the court, but you can never be a mere wallflower. The futures of Xu Jian and Yun Yan are tied to Li Shao, and Li Shaoruo and Xu Jian have a quarrel...

Injury is the easiest source of discord.

"You kid," the Empress Dowager sighed, "you have thought so carefully, how can the Ai family say no? Well, let the Ai family send someone to the imperial study."

The empress dowager ordered less than the father-in-law.

The rationale is not explained in detail.

There are some things that she and Yun Yan can discuss behind closed doors, but cannot be discussed with the Holy One. Moreover, after a few words, the Holy One can naturally analyze the pros and cons with his ability.

After all, my father-in-law can understand the truth behind it after just listening to a few words. How could His Majesty not understand?
As soon as my father-in-law received the order, he hurried away.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he didn't see Long Yan. The Holy Emperor was driving towards Cuihua Palace, so he had to turn around and rush over.

In Cuihua Palace, the imperial concubine is welcoming her.

She had quite some free time these days and was in good spirits. Unexpectedly, she could only welcome the royal chariot with a smile.

While holding the Holy Master's hand, she thought, it seems that today's lunch will not be comfortable.

The table was being set up inside, when a sound came from outside that Father-in-law was coming.

The imperial concubine glanced at her Majesty and asked people to come in. At the same time, she was also curious in her heart. How could the Queen Mother suddenly send people over when she didn't usually stay here? Was she looking for her or her Majesty?

Younger father-in-law entered, and after bowing respectfully, he mentioned the matter of tiger bones.

Since they were in Cuihua Palace, he didn't say anything unnecessary.

He didn't say anything, but the Holy One understood and immediately agreed, asking him to just go to the East Palace to ask for it.When the others exited, the Holy Master smiled and said: "It's just a tiger bone. If I can completely cure Xu Jian's injury, I can also have one more powerful general."

With the abilities Xu Jian has shown, he will naturally have a lot of success as a civil servant in the court, and the Holy Emperor also trusts him very much. However, the court is also short of generals. It would be a good thing if Xu Jian is free from illness and pain and can express his ambitions.

Versatile talents who can advance, attack, and retreat can defend. When the court hires people, it will never fail to identify people.

As a king, he can not let Xu Jian guard the border, but he cannot "can't".

Xu Jian was hampered by a leg injury.

The imperial concubine also laughed when she heard the words, and followed the emperor's wishes: "You have to approve the gifts in the afternoon, so I won't pour you wine to congratulate you. Today, I have prepared a good soup in the kitchen, and I will replace the wine with soup later."

The Holy Spirit laughed loudly: "When he really recovers, I will drink it again."

The imperial concubine also smiled: "When the time comes, let Duke Fuguo accompany you to drink."

Lunch was served and the two of them sat down.

As expected, a cup of good soup was served in the kitchen. Autumn was approaching, and it was just right to drink it without being hot or dry.

The Holy Father was very satisfied with it.

He still likes Cuihua Palace. The imperial concubine is dignified and well-spoken. She doesn't cause trouble and doesn't deliberately say things that are not annoying. She can relax and have a meal in peace.

It's just that this good mood turned a little gloomy after the table was removed.

Eunuch Yu came back and said bravely: "The East Palace said that they can't find the tiger bone. They may have used it up before."

The Holy Master frowned: "Didn't I just say that I only used a small section before?"

Younger father-in-law lowered his eyes and said: "That's what the judge An Yuan said at the imperial pharmacy."

The Holy Spirit touched his fingers.

He still believed what An Yuan said.

Such a tiger bone, Shao'er's injuries a few years ago, can't be used up.

"Have you met the prince?" he asked, "Did the prince say it, or who said it?"

He didn't believe Shao'er would refuse.

Eunuch Yu said, "Eunuch Guo said that I didn't see His Highness."

The Holy Master paused his fingers slightly and glanced at Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao said hurriedly: "Young man, I'm just going to go there."

All the people in the East Palace were replaced, and the servant Guo in charge was personally selected by him, and Eunuch Cao trusted him very much.

Today, when my father-in-law went there in person, Dong Gong only said this...

Eunuch Cao thought that Eunuch Guo was not good at making opinions, which was probably what the prince meant.

He didn't know what the prince was thinking, but a tiger bone really didn't matter.

Younger father-in-law went there with Eunuch Cao.

After leaving Cuihua Palace, there was no one around, so he spoke briefly about the meaning of Cining Palace in a low voice.

"I originally thought I could take this opportunity to..."

"It's fine if it's really used up, but it's not used up. This really makes things worse."

"This is really..."

Eunuch Cao's expression became more solemn as he listened.

Less than the father-in-law said it went to his heart.

The empress dowager and the princess had good intentions. Eunuch Cao thought about it and realized that it was a good idea. Who knew that the East Palace would react like that.

Now I'm afraid of self-defeating.

In Cuihua Palace, the imperial concubine was sipping tea, feeling anxious.

This meal is not easy to use, I didn’t expect it to be so bad!

What can she say?
She dared not say a word.

She relied on her own guess as to the cause of Duke Fu's injury, but she only kept it in her mind. She would not say it out loud, let alone let the Lord know what she had guessed.

What Cining Palace did today was actually confirming her guess.

The Empress Dowager has a very measured relationship between mother and son, and Princess Ning'an is not picky about this or that. Now she is staring at a tiger bone in the East Palace, which shows her deep meaning.

However, the imperial concubine did not expect that the prince would refuse directly.

Maybe she had "underestimated" the prince before.

She has no children and is in charge of the harem, but she actually finds it troublesome.

Watching the other concubines go back and forth and fight against each other was really not a fun thing for her.

Balance and comfort were all a matter of mental effort, and in the end, she gained nothing from all the hard work.

For the imperial concubine, it was Li Shao who had smooth sailing and was more worry-free.

The better Li Shao is, the less worried the other concubines will be. The less worried they are, the less trouble they will cause for her.

Li Shao ascended the throne. The first empress passed away. She became the empress dowager from the imperial concubine. She is still the most valuable. But if other princes suddenly emerge and there is another empress dowager...

Too much trouble.

Furthermore, Li Shao treated her kindly.

Ask An Buqi when she should, and remember her when giving gifts. After all, she is still a good child.

She didn't expect that Li Shao would be like this behind his back. When the news about Chen Mi Hutong reached her ears, she almost dropped the tea cup.

Surprised, it was not her turn to comment on Li Shao's affairs.

She was just very annoyed. Something happened to Li Shao, and the concubines in the harem were worried. They all thought there was another chance.

It finally calmed down in recent days, and she just took a breath, and Li Shao was in trouble again...

Thinking about this, the imperial concubine glanced at the Holy Emperor and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps the staff was changed in a hurry before, and the warehouse was not handed over properly, so I couldn't figure out what was there."

The Holy Master nodded slightly, sat for a while, then got up and returned to the imperial study.

The imperial concubine sent her off respectfully, turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Good.

If something goes wrong in the East Palace, there is no need for her to rack her brains to put in a good word.

On the other side, Eunuch Cao strode into the gate of the East Palace. Eunuch Guo greeted him, saluted, and looked at Eunuch Yu.

"Where is Your Highness?" Eunuch Cao asked.

Eunuch Guo said: "After lunch, it's time to take a nap."

Eunuch Cao looked him up and down.

The visitor didn't ask in detail, but Eunuch Guo couldn't help but elaborate: "Eunuch Yu came here just now, and I went to ask His Highness. That's what His Highness said. I asked him to open the warehouse and look for it, but Your Highness didn't agree."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, but Eunuch Cao's face became darker and darker as he listened.

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket~~~
