The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 55
Halfway through the banquet, many people were slightly drunk, Li Sister-in-law just quietly enjoyed the singing and dancing, when suddenly Wei Haoyou came to her table with a glass of wine, his eyes were rarely serious: "Prince sister! , I apologize to you for this glass of wine, I was the one who was too reckless on New Year's Eve, please forgive me."

Regarding Wei Haoyou's apology, Li Sister-in-law said in confusion, "Brother Wuhuang, I don't have a good memory. I don't remember what happened on New Year's Eve. Brother Wuhuang must have made a mistake."

A flash of interest flashed in Wei Haoyou's eyes when he heard the words, and then he smiled heartily: "That may be because I remembered it wrong. I was in a hurry when I returned to the palace last time. I have time to prepare a meeting gift for the imperial sister in the future. I will make it up today. I hope the imperial sister will not be disgusted with it." Yes." After he finished speaking, he took out a palm-sized red orchid-carved box from his arms and handed it to Li Meizhen.

Li Meiying glanced at the box, she was about to refuse, but seeing the curious eyes from all around, she simply got up to take it and thanked: "Thank you, Brother Wuhuang."

Emperor Cheng on the throne looked at this scene, and smiled gratifiedly: "You brothers and sisters are so harmonious, so I am relieved."

Hearing this, Wei Haoyou hurriedly answered, "Father, don't worry, this son will definitely fulfill his elder brother's responsibilities."

Emperor Cheng didn't think much, just nodded happily, while Empress Wu couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly.Knowing the child is like the mother, as a mother, she can never escape her eyes on what kind of thoughts her son has. A sense of crisis that has never been felt hit her, almost making her faint.Miss Su at the side saw that something was wrong, she quickly reached out to support Empress Wu and reminded in a low voice: "Empress, are you uncomfortable?"

One sentence awakened the dreamer, Empress Wu forced herself to calm down, and said to Emperor Cheng who was beside her: "Your Majesty, I think this hall is too dull, and I want to sit in the side hall for a while, please allow me."

Emperor Cheng didn't care whether Empress Wu was by his side, so he readily agreed without thinking about it.Lady Su carefully supported Empress Wu and went to the side hall.

When they arrived at the side hall, Lady Su sent all the maids serving in the side hall away, and then returned to Empress Wu and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves have already sent everyone away, what orders do you have?"

Empress Wu took a deep breath, then looked at Su Nvguan and said, "Did that little bitch make any changes these days?"

"If you go back to the Empress, the people I sent to find out the news is that Li Sister-in-law is very peaceful. She hardly goes out, and she never invites anyone to the mansion. And she is only doing paintings and poems in the princess mansion. , what they do are all elegant things." Lady Su looked at Empress Wu and carefully told the news she had received.

When Empress Wu heard this, a flash of anxiety flashed in her eyes. She had analyzed that Li Sister-in-law was eager to take revenge, otherwise she would not provoke her again and again. Now she has stopped moving at all, which is too strange. She should take advantage of it Victory pursued, and it was right to pull herself down in one fell swoop, but why did she suddenly stick to her role, and what kind of conspiracy was she planning?
After being silent for a while, Empress Wu ordered impatiently: "Quickly send a letter to my eldest brother, and ask him to find a way to force Li Sister-in-law to take action. I can't wait like this, otherwise the two of my palace will All sons will be destroyed in her hands."

After hearing Empress Wu's words, Lady Su's heart tightened, and she hesitated for a moment before boldly persuading: "Empress, the fact that your Highnesses are interested in Li Sister-in-law has yet to be verified, so please don't mess yourself up."

"Snapped……"

Empress Wu was already extremely terrified in her heart, and she was naturally furious when she heard what Miss Su said, so she stood up angrily and raised her hand, slapped Miss Su fiercely, and said angrily: "You dog slave, this palace belongs to you!" Master, what I say is what I say, when is it your turn to point fingers!"

Empress Wu's slap was so severe that five fingerprints appeared on Miss Su's face in an instant, and there was blood on the corner of her lips.It seemed that it was the first time she was beaten hard by Empress Wu. Lady Su was stunned for a long time before she realized it. She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty: "Your maidservant deserves to die. Madam Empress, calm down. Madam Empress, please forgive me."

After beating someone, Empress Wu vented her anger, and she calmed down. She glanced at Mistress Su, and a look of unbearableness flashed in her eyes, but that unbearableness was quickly replaced by disdain. She turned her head and said fiercely. He opened the mouth and said: "Today's slap is to teach you what is respect and what is humility. If you think of your first offense today, I will not care about you. If you dare to talk too much next time, I will ask someone to pull out your tongue and demote you." Go to the Clothes Bureau to be the lowest court lady."

Mistress Su was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she kowtowed desperately, while thanking her: "Thank you, Empress, for your forgiveness, and thank you, Empress, for your innocence."

"Okay, get out and finish what I ordered." Empress Wu said annoyedly as if she didn't like Miss Su's timid look.

Lady Su answered yes, then bowed her head and exited the side hall in awe.Empress Wu watched her disappear, then sighed heavily, turned and left the side hall.

Returning to Cheng Dianfu, the imperial concubine sitting under Empress Wu saw that Miss Su was not with her, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she said with concern on her face: "Sister, why is Miss Su not here?" Serve by your side!"

Empress Wu looked at the imperial concubine gently, and said kindly: "The girl suddenly felt unwell, so I asked her to go back to the central palace to rest first. My sister is careful, and I have noticed such small things. The sons are not so careful." Empress Wu deliberately bit down on the word 'son', and as she wished, she saw a flash of pain in the eyes of the imperial concubine, and she casually looked away at the singing and dancing in the hall, as if she had just The words are really spoken casually.

The imperial concubine knew that Empress Wu was jealous that she had robbed her of power, so she deliberately exposed her scars. Such a woman is really hateful, no wonder her sons are not close to her, she deserves it.

Li Meiying quietly took into account the interaction between Empress Wu and the imperial concubine, she curled her lips sarcastically, took a sip of the tea on the table, and raised her eyes just in time to bump into Wei Xuanjin's warm and moist eyes. With smiling eyes.

Seeing Li Sister-in-law looking over, Wei Xuanjin picked up the tea on the table and nodded slightly, then looked at Empress Wu with warm eyes, he smiled maliciously, and looked away from Empress Wu, After taking a sip of tea, he chatted nonchalantly with the prince of Jinhua County next to him.

Li Meiying looked away from Wei Xuanjin very annoyed. At this moment, Yang Xianling was standing in front of her table holding tea, staring straight at her without concealing the hatred in his eyes.
