The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 119 Visiting the Imperial Concubine

In the afternoon, Li Meiying was leaning on the beauty's bed and reading a book. Yunyu hurried back to the house. She gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, stepped forward and said to Li Meiying: "Princess, I just received the news that Bingying The princess regained her sanity, and the son-in-law Wei Mingyu entered the palace and sued the princess, and when Mrs. Wu learned about it, she lost her temper."

Hearing this, Li Meizhen smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's been a long time since we've been in the palace to see the imperial concubine, find a cool day, and enter the palace to greet the imperial concubine."

Yunyu immediately understood Li Meiying's meaning when she heard the words, so she said with a smile: "The end of the month is the princess's birthday, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will send someone to the mansion to announce that the princess will enter the palace to discuss the birthday banquet."

The next day, news came out from the palace that the imperial concubine was ill, and temporarily relinquished the power to assist the Six Palaces in her hands. When Li Sister-in-law heard the news, she ordered Yunyu to prepare some pills to strengthen her body, and then took Yunyu with her. Yu and Qing'er enter the palace.

Yujing Palace is the imperial concubine's bedroom. When Li Meiying arrived at Yujing Palace, the female officer next to the imperial concubine was instructing the maids to clean the main hall. When she saw Li Meiying, she was startled at first, and then calmly stepped forward to say hello: "Greetings to Princess Yingsu, the princess is blessed."

"Freedom of courtesy." Reaching out to support the female officer, Li Sister-in-law said again in a friendly tone: "I heard that the imperial concubine is not feeling well, so I came here to take a look. Where is your imperial concubine?"

The female official hurriedly replied respectfully: "The imperial concubine is resting in the bedroom, the princess please come with the slaves."

Li Sister nodded and followed the female officer into the inner bedroom.The imperial concubine was leaning on the beauty couch with her eyes closed to rest her mind. Her face was a little pale, and there was a faint blue shadow on her lower eyelids. One could tell that she hadn't slept very well recently.

When the imperial concubine heard the sound, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and seeing Li Sister-in-law sitting up hastily, she said with a smile on her face: "My sister-in-law is here, come and sit quickly."

Li Meiying politely bowed to the imperial concubine, then put her hand into the outstretched hand of the imperial concubine, sat down next to the imperial concubine and said, "I heard that you are not feeling well, the imperial concubine, so I came to the palace to visit your empress."

Hearing this, the imperial concubine smiled movedly: "Since the assassination incident, Empress Wu has made a comeback, and there are more people in the palace to fawn on, but my place is much deserted. Now I feel unwell, and you are the only one who comes to see me."

Li Meizhen smiled and said: "Although the imperial concubine has not been with me like the eldest princess these years, she has helped me a lot in secret. Although you don't say anything, it's not that I don't know. As the saying goes, icing on the cake is easy, Sending charcoal in the snow is rare, and the harem is the cruelest place. Now that the Wu family has made a comeback, the scenery is immeasurable, and everyone is naturally eager to please. The imperial concubine and empress, please relax for a while, your body is important. The emperor has been married to the imperial concubine for many years, and he knows the imperial concubine best As for your temperament, as long as he believes that you have nothing to do with the assassination, is it that important what other people say?"

The imperial concubine listened to Li Meiying's words, looked at Li Meiying seriously for a while, and then said with relief: "I never thought I'd live my whole life without understanding anything, but I want you, a child, to persuade me, I'm really ashamed. "

Li Meiying heard the words, shook her head with a smile and said: "Being in the middle of the game, naturally there are many things I can't help. Now that the imperial concubine empress thinks about it, it's good." Taking a small box, she took it and handed it to the female officer at the side, and explained to the imperial concubine: "The pills in this box are Xiangning pills, take one before going to bed every night, it will help you sleep well, and at the same time nourish your body's vitality." The effect is also very good."

The female official didn't take the box right away, but looked at the imperial concubine, and when she saw the imperial concubine nodded, she took it.The imperial concubine gratefully took Li Sister's hand and said: "You have a heart."

"It's nothing, I'll take it myself. This kind of pill is easy to prepare, and it's not something expensive." Li Sister smiled slightly, but she was thinking about how to change the topic to the important point.

There was another moment of silence, and suddenly the imperial concubine got up, pulled Li Meiying and said, "I feel a little refreshed now, you can accompany me to the Imperial Garden!"

Li Meiying nodded in agreement, and helped the imperial concubine leave the inner bedroom, while the female officials who served the imperial concubine were left in Yujing Palace to continue to supervise the sweeping.

Li Meiying helped the imperial concubine to walk on the path of the imperial garden, and was silent all the way until passing a certain gazebo. Li Meiying saw the imperial concubine showing a tired look, and said, "There is a gazebo here, concubine, let's go in." Take a break!"

The imperial concubine nodded, so several people entered the gazebo. There was tea and fruit on the round table of the gazebo. Yunyu made tea for the two of them, and then she and Qing'er retreated outside the pavilion to guard.

The imperial concubine glanced at Yunyu and Qing'er, then looked at Li Meiying and said, "Xin'er, apart from visiting me this time, you should have something to tell me when you enter the palace!"

Hearing this, Li Sister-in-law chuckled softly, and then said: "I really can't hide this from the imperial concubine. I originally planned to go to the palace to tell the imperial concubine about this matter, but it happened that I heard the news that the imperial concubine was ill, so I came to the palace to visit her." Now, as for what I want to say, I always feel that it is out of place, I thought it was well hidden, but I didn't expect the imperial concubine to see it."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "If you have anything to tell me, just say it now, I'm not a person who can't stand blows."

Hearing this, Li Sister-in-law was slightly taken aback, and said after a while: "How does the imperial concubine know that what my son said is definitely not a good thing?"

The imperial concubine smiled sadly when she heard the words: "If it's a good thing, you still need to be cautious, I'm afraid you have said it long ago, but I have already experienced the pain of bereavement, and now nothing can hit me again , If there is anything, you can just say it, I can still bear it."

Hearing this, Li Meiying sighed, and said: "Young concubine, actually, one of the things I want to say is bad, and the other is good. You want to hear that first."

The imperial concubine was startled when she heard the words, and she was silent for a while before she said: "Let's talk about the bad things first, I always feel that maybe the bad things are something I want to know more about."

A look of surprise flashed in Li Meiying's eyes, she took a deep breath, and then said: "It's about the truth about the sixth prince's premature death."

The imperial concubine heard the words, the hand holding the tea cup trembled, and then returned to normal. She was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Sure enough, the death of my emperor's son was not an accident. Did this matter have something to do with the person in the middle palace?" It doesn't matter, how did you find out, do you have evidence?"

Hearing this, Li Meiying took out a jade pendant and handed it to the imperial concubine, "Does your empress still remember this jade pendant?"

The imperial concubine took the jade pendant, looking at the jade pendant in her hand, she felt suffocated, and said with difficulty after a while: "Of course I remember, this is the jade pendant that my emperor wears next to his body, it is the jade pendant that my father asked for him to protect him .”
