Chapter 257: Wisdom Fighting the Demon Concubine (1)
Concubine Li's face completely changed when she saw the Shangfang sword in Concubine Yan's hand, but she had to kneel down to the sword with everyone, "Welcome to the Supreme Emperor, long live the Supreme Emperor, long live, long live."

Concubine Yan glanced past all civil and military officials, stared at Concubine Li, and said calmly, "Pingshen."

Everyone stood up and spontaneously stood on both sides, making way for them.Concubine Yan walked up the steps step by step, towards Concubine Li.

Concubine Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when Concubine Yan was three steps away from her, she said: "Concubine Yan, I am discussing the court affairs with all civil and military officials, what are you doing here?"

Concubine Yan stopped slowly, her sharp gaze fell on her face and never left again, "I'm here to prevent you from causing trouble!"

The corner of Concubine Li's mouth twitched, she smiled and said: "Are you kidding? The emperor hand-picked this palace to assist the crown prince to supervise the country. Why did you say it to the court?"

Concubine Yan didn't answer her question, but turned to look at Manchao Wenwu, stretched out her left hand, held the Shangfang sword horizontally, and said word by word: "Before the Supreme Emperor left the palace, he gave me the Shangfang sword that I cut first and then played. The palace will replace the Supreme Emperor, Qing, Jun, Fang!" After speaking, a silver light flashed, the sword was unsheathed, fell on Concubine Li's shoulder, and pressed against her neck, all civil and military officials were stunned.

The cold blade was attached to her skin, and Concubine Li's hairs froze, "Concubine Yan! The Supreme Emperor has given you the power on the side of the Qing Emperor. Do you agree with you to depose the Emperor?"

Concubine Yan was stunned by this sudden question. Concubine Li didn't give Concubine Yan a chance to think, and she said, "No? Since you don't, you are not qualified to execute Ben Gong! Ben Gong is the birth mother of the prince. The emperor just If you appoint me to supervise the country, you will rush to the Jinluan Palace with a Shangfang sword to assassinate me! You are clearly... provoking the authority of the emperor and shaking the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou! Now, I have every reason to suspect that you have abused the Supreme Emperor's bestowed power. The authority is only to achieve an ulterior purpose!"

Shui Hangge took a step forward holding the wat board, and solemnly said: "The emperor and the empress dowager have fallen ill one after another, and the empress dowager is pregnant again. The turmoil of the people's hearts is unprecedented! At this time, it is not easy for the empress dowager Li and the crown prince In Zhenguo, there are some people who pretend to be public servants and take advantage of the opportunity to eradicate powerful enemies, their hearts are to be punished! Their hearts are to be punished!"

As soon as these words came out, the people below whispered to each other, and many people looked at Concubine Yan with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

How stubborn are these people!Concubine Yan turned purple with anger, "The emperor and the empress dowager fell ill at the same time, which is very strange in itself! Didn't everyone find out?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly felt that Yan Fei's words were not without reason.

Concubine Yan said again: "Please ask the empress dowager or the emperor to come forward, and I will believe that you are justifiably supervising the country!"

"You are so brave!" Concubine Li was furious, "The empress dowager and the emperor are against the law, so don't let them drag their weak bodies to meet everyone in such a cold day. Are you trying to harm them?" Kill them? Why is your heart so vicious?"

Concubine Yan's pupils shrank, "Then please ask the empress to come forward! Pregnant women should not work hard, it's not that they can't move around!"

Concubine Li's complexion changed again, a strong strangeness flashed in her eyes, everyone looked at Concubine Li suspiciously, and immediately guessed that something tricky was hidden here!
"Yes! Please, Empress Empress, come forward!"

"We can only be convinced if the Empress Dowager admits your status!"

……

Concubine Li's chest began to heave violently, but she just didn't make a sound. In the eyes of Concubine Yan and the officials, what is it?
"Since you don't dare, this palace will take the place of King Qing of the Great Zhou royal family!" After finishing speaking coldly, Concubine Yan swung her sword and slashed at Concubine Li's head.

"Please Empress!" Concubine Li yelled out loudly. After she finished, she seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and then adjusted her expression, adding gracefully and calmly: "Please Empress Madam."

Not long after, Bing Bing came gracefully surrounded by court ladies, she was graceful and luxurious, with her hands carefully folded in front of her belly, like a pregnant woman, and everyone saluted her.Standing at the highest point, she glanced at the civil and military courts one by one with her gentle yet heavy eyes, and in the eyes of everyone eager to discover the shocking secret, she said unhurriedly: "The third prince conspired to rebel and controlled eleven cities. The hearts of the people in my Great Zhou Dynasty were turbulent, and the government was unstable. The emperor fell ill from overwork, and suddenly heard the bad news. He was so angry that he was bedridden. Seriously, I couldn't bear the heavy responsibility, so I persuaded the emperor to use Concubine Li instead. Concubine Li has a heart of blues and a heart, and is knowledgeable about the past and present. , is indeed the best candidate to supervise the country."

In addition to affirming Concubine Li's status, it also implied that the Yan family had a strong army and a solid foundation. If they had to rebel, the Yan family was more likely than the Li family.

Concubine Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Empress, you...how can you say such things? It doesn't matter if you don't want to see your concubines, but you can't make fun of Da Zhou's country! My Yan family is full of loyal families. Have wishful thinking? Empress, open your eyes and see clearly! Concubine Li definitely has a problem! Maybe the Third Prince..."

"Concubine Yan, because you are the jewel in the palm of your father and brother, you are stubborn, and because you are partial to the emperor, you have nothing to fear. On the first day the prince came to court, you made a big noise in the Golden Luan Palace and caused a mess here. You should be dragged out and punished with a stick. , to serve as a warning to others." Bingbing interrupted Concubine Yan's words without anger and prestige, and suddenly changed the subject after the heavy-handed reprimand, "Fortunately, Concubine Li's heart is kind, and she convinces others with virtue. If it is my palace, she will not take it lightly. Forgive your youth and ignorance!"

Concubine Li showed a gentle smile, "I understand the feelings of Concubine Yan. My sister is for the sake of the country and the Great Zhou Dynasty. The starting point is good. Then... trouble my sister to return to the Buddhist hall... to replace the queen mother." The empress and the emperor chant scriptures and pray for blessings until they wake up!"

Concubine Yan's face was livid with anger, Concubine Yan disrespected Concubine Li so much, but Concubine Li repaid her grievances with kindness, all the courtiers really took a look at Concubine Li at this time.

Bingbing pressed her temples, and sighed tiredly, "I am tired, Concubine Yan helps me back to rest, Concubine Li can continue to deal with the affairs of the court."

Concubine Li smiled, and Concubine Yan took Bingbing's arm one step at a time, "The focus of the early court dispute today is the legitimacy between me and the prince. Fortunately, the empress empress confirmed to us that the matter was perfectly resolved, and the early court can be over. I'm here to serve the empress."

Bingbing blinked and said with a smile: "Then there will be Concubine Li."

Concubine Li supported Bingbing down the steps and walked outside the hall.

When Bingbing passed by Guo Yan, she suddenly sprained her foot and bumped into Guo Yan.

Guo Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, but suddenly his eyebrows twitched, and he pushed his hand away with a Bingbing smile, "I really can't work too hard, I can't even walk steadily."

In this way, everyone believed in her inability to supervise the country.Concubine Li's eyes trembled slightly, and after looking around, she smiled gently, "Mistress, be careful, you are pregnant with a dragon heir, so you must take care of yourself!"

Bingbing patted her hand, smiled softly, "I'll save you, you have a heart."

The two walked out of the Golden Luan Hall arm in arm affectionately. The officials knelt down and worshiped. Shui Hangge held the wat board, unable to hide the flash of light in his eyes.

Bingbing and Concubine Li walked out of the Golden Palace and wanted to go back to the harem, but they ran into the aggressive third princess unexpectedly.

"You demon concubine! What happened to my brother and queen mother? Why aren't I allowed to visit them?" She had just gone to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hualong Palace respectively, but they were all blocked outside without exception. The eunuchs said, Concubine Li has an order that no one is allowed to disturb the purity of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, bah!What is Li Wan?Isn't she the imperial brother's concubine, who dares to run amok in the harem, even stopping her!
Concubine Li covered her red and swollen face, a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she didn't know what to think, and she smiled nonchalantly, "The third princess misunderstood, I don't want those people in the harem to take the opportunity to disturb the empress dowager and the emperor." Qingjing, I just issued a ban. I definitely didn’t mean to target you! It’s all my fault that I didn’t expect the third princess to come to visit the empress dowager and the emperor so early, so I didn’t ask the palace people to treat them differently. Since the third princess is here, please Come with me to visit them!"

The third princess was slightly taken aback, and her intense arrogance froze for the most part in an instant, "You...you...really...didn't you intentionally cut off my mother, queen brother, and brother from the outside world?"

Concubine Li smiled, "Third princess, you really know how to joke. If you lend me a hundred courage, I dare not break ground on Tai Sui! Besides, the empress dowager and the emperor are not ordinary people. How can I, a weak girl, be able to do this?" Controlled? If the third princess doesn't believe it, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

"Well, that's true!" The third princess cleared her throat and said with a bit of embarrassment: "That...your face..."

"what--"

"what--"

Before the third princess finished speaking, she rushed towards Concubine Li and pushed Concubine Li to the ground.This is a bluestone floor, not to mention Concubine Li herself fell down, a person weighing several tens of kilograms was crushed on it, her bones were about to crack, Concubine Li gasped in pain.

The third princess stood up furiously, looked around, pointed at Bingbing and was about to curse.Unexpectedly, Bingbing was faster than her, "Yunyao! Don't treat the concubines in the harem so harshly just because you are the emperor's direct sister! Whether Li Concubine is the crown prince's birth mother or not, she is your brother's woman. It's your sister-in-law, you beat and scold at every turn, what's the point?"

This, this, this stinky woman, she was obviously playing tricks, but in the end she bit her back!The third princess was so angry that her nose was smoking, "How I treat my emperor's woman is my business, can you control it? What about the concubine? She is just a concubine! Both of you are so annoying! Hmph! Wait until I see you!" Brother Huang, he must divorce you!"

Snapped!But Bingbing slapped the third princess mercilessly. The third princess was dumbfounded. It was the first time someone slapped her at such a big age.Bingbing narrowed her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Look at your reckless temper, as if you have taken gunpowder, if you are really allowed to visit the queen mother and the emperor, you will definitely make them dizzy with anger! Gong quickly return to the Guo Mansion! Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the Guo Mansion!"

The three princesses were furious, "Water, ice, ice! You put me under house arrest? I want to tell my brother, let him chop off your head!"

With the support of the palace people, Concubine Li stood up and comforted her: "Forget it, empress, if the third princess cares, she will be in chaos. I believe she didn't hurt me on purpose. When she sees the queen mother, her old man and the emperor, she will be in trouble." Know that we are all innocent."

us?The third princess's complexion sank again!
"Come here!" Bingbing gave an order, but the surrounding eunuchs and maids bowed their heads and did not move, Bingbing clenched her fists, looked at Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Li doesn't want to be accused of being ill-considered and irritating the Queen Mother and the Emperor, right? Why don't you hurry up and send someone to take the third princess back to the mansion?"

Concubine Li ordered to the palace people: "You send the third princess back to the Guo Mansion, and according to the Queen Mother's order, restrain the third princess' feet."

The three princesses yelled: "Shuibingbing!"

Bingbing turned her face away.

The two eunuchs walked quickly to the side of the third princess and stretched out their hands to take her into custody, but suddenly they heard a terrifying roar, and they all knelt down on the ground in fright.

"I see who of you dares to touch her!" Guo Yan walked with his hands behind his back and a cold expression.

The third princess threw herself into Guo Yan's arms as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, "Guo Yan, you came just in time, help me deal with these two ignorant women! I want to see the emperor! I want to see the queen mother." !"

Guo Yan looked at the finger marks on the face of the third princess, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Who hit it?"

The third princess pointed at Bingbing and hummed, "Isn't that her?"

Guo Yan glanced at Bingbing with a complicated expression, and said in the usual tone: "Aren't you afraid that the queen mother and the emperor will worry about being beaten like this? You are already sick, and you have to worry about you. I can't stand the iron body. Be obedient and wait for you." The swelling has subsided, I will accompany you into the palace to visit them."

"Guo Yan! I..." The third princess refused, but Guo Yan didn't give her any room to refute, and took her hand and left.

Concubine Li looked at the backs of the two who were going away, and there was an indistinguishable sparkle in her eyes.

The Three Princes raised troops to rebel, the capital city was in chaos, every house closed its doors and windows, and even the palace was in danger. In such a big environment, running away with an aunt seemed insignificant, and everyone paid more attention to Shangguanqian.On that day, Zhuge Liuyun personally went to the General's Mansion to pick up Shangguan Qian, but Shangguan Qian bluntly refused, and followed Zhuge Yu the next day, everyone couldn't help feeling a little bit sad after hearing the news.

The old matriarch wept when she talked about this matter, "It's good to be with her son, but Xiaoyu is the only thing she can't let go of in this world."

Relatively speaking, Zhuge Xi's childhood was happy. She was born in a time when her parents were loving and caring, and enjoyed the wholehearted care of Zhuge Liuyun and Shangguanqian. When Shangguanqian left, she was eight years old and already relatively independent. More dependent on Zhuge Liuyun.

Zhen Shi looked at the old matriarch who was about to cry, and then at the indifferent and cold Leng Youru. The old matriarch was full of sympathy, but the princess did not forget the pain on her skin. Regarding Shangguan Qian, she had better remain neutral.

Leng Youru quietly took a sip of warm water, and said softly: "I asked someone to tidy up a yard next to Xiaoxi's Qingya Courtyard, and when Xiaoyu and the others triumphantly return, let's live in it." No names were named, but everyone The guy understands.

Zhenshi and Qiao Hui were dumbfounded, the old lady looked at Leng Youru lovingly, "You are heavy, don't worry about it anymore, leave it to Linglong."

Leng Youru replied: "Yes, I see, mother."

Shui Linglong asked Qiao Hui: "Xiaohui, your second elder brother is an imperial physician, what news did you hear?" It was Qiao Ying who was talking about it.

Qiao Hui shook her head, with a hint of worry, "No, Concubine Li ordered him to live in the side hall of Hualong Palace so that he can take care of the emperor's dragon body at any time."

Shui Linglong frowned suspiciously.Zhen raised the handkerchief in his hand, and said casually: "Li Jing is your brother-in-law, you don't know the news from the palace, who would know?"

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zhen in unison, Mrs. Zhen curled her lips and said falteringly: "I... I have no other intentions, let's discuss the matter."

Shui Linglong didn't have the time to talk to Zhen Shi quickly, but she also had to admit that although Zhen Shi had a poisonous tongue, sometimes he could hit the right one.

At nightfall, Guo Yan found Shui Linglong, and handed the blood book that Bingbing had quietly stuffed into his cuff to Shui Linglong.Shui Linglong looked at the dried blood, and her eyes trembled slightly. She guessed that Bingbing was imprisoned, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even use pen and paper openly. It is estimated that Bingbing hid in Gong's room under the excuse of Gong Gong. Written by biting my finger.

Guo Yan frowned, "I really didn't expect Concubine Li to be so vicious, threatening the queen with the lives of the emperor and the little princess."

Shui Linglong was annoyed and distressed, when her sister was hijacked by the Dowager Concubine, and Concubine Yan and Concubine Li appeared in the Imperial Garden by chance, she felt that there was something wrong with it. A life and death drama.She was suspicious of Concubine Yan at first, but when she thought of the shrewdness of the Supreme Emperor, she felt that the Supreme Emperor would not bury a time bomb beside her son.In this way, only Concubine Li is left.

Guo Yan explained the matter of the three princesses being grounded by Bingbing again, and Shui Linglong showed a hint of relief after hearing this, "Bingbing did nothing wrong this time. If the three princesses really entered the Hualong Palace or the Taihe Palace, they would definitely make peace with each other." Qiao Ying is also detained inside, and then Concubine Li will use the third princess to blackmail you and the Guo family." Guo Yan is in charge of the [-] imperial guards in the capital, if the Guo family turns against him, the consequences will be disastrous.

Guo Yan nodded, "It's strange. Judging from the current situation, the third prince conspired against the country, and Concubine Li supervised the country. Why... it seems that they are in collusion. How did the third prince hook up with Concubine Li?"

Shui Linglong smiled lightly, mocking herself lightly, "Then I have to ask Xun Feng."

Guo Yan was startled, "You mean, Concubine Li belongs to Xun Feng? Then, in fact, Xun Feng took refuge in the Third Prince and helped him usurp the throne? They are sworn enemies, okay? Back then, the Third Prince was the one who The Xun family's dismounting made Pingnan Prince's Mansion become Pingnan Marquis' mansion."
