The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 300

Yu Zhaorong said proudly: "I will obey your mother's orders!"

Chang Xi then told her that he wanted to pardon Brother Bao and the others, and asked her to find a way to resolve the matter within ten days. If it came to pass, he would accept her and follow her instructions to bring down the queen.

Yu Zhaorong thought for a moment, and finally agreed resolutely. Chang Xi said again: "Let's agree in advance, even if your scheme succeeds, I will not pardon you because of it! You still cannot escape death!"

"This concubine knows! As long as the queen dies before the concubine, the concubine will not spare this life!" Yu Zhaorong's indifferent smile made Chang Xi feel a little chilly.

Chang Xi frowned and said, "Go down!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhaorong didn't say any more, and slowly got up and left the Jiaofang Hall.

Sitting behind the case, Chang Xi thought about the whole matter carefully, wondering whether he should trust Zhaorong or not!After all, this matter is so strange, and the trap she designed, has the queen really practiced it!What if it was a trap designed by the Queen to deal with her again?After much deliberation, the following three points were finalized.First, to see if Yu Zhaorong helped her pardon Brother Bao according to her instructions.Second, order Xiao Zhaozi to find out whether it is true that the queen framed Yu Zhaorong for miscarriage, and secretly enter the Kunde Palace to find out if there is any change in the queen.Third, beware of Yu Zhaorong going to his Majesty's side to inform and frame himself.

With these three arrangements in place, Chang Xi felt a little more at ease, and started to deal with the hidden dangers caused by the deaths of Concubine Li and Yun Cairen.

After a few long days, Xiao Zhaozi sent news from the Qinzheng Building, saying that Li Longji was exempted from the death penalty because of his meritorious service in reporting Concubine Li, and was sent to Yumen Pass to guard the border; I read that he had worked in the palace for many years, given poisonous wine and left the whole body.

Compared with the masterminds such as Concubine Li and Yun Cairen, these accomplices should be dealt with leniently. It seems that Yu Zhaorong did have a plan. Li Longji didn't go to her dormitory these days, and she could do it so quickly. This matter is truly terrifying!Chang Xi started to have a hard time again, whether to believe that Yu Zhaorong was sincerely devoted to her or not!
After thinking about it, Chang Xi decided to do the things at hand well first, and then make plans for the rest.

In the past few days, Li Longji has been dealing with political affairs in the Qinzheng Building, and slept there at night. Although he often sent people to check on his body, he never took time to visit Jiaofang Palace. This night, Chang Xi ordered Qiongyu to stay The small kitchen prepared some exquisite pastries, and he took the food box himself, went to say hello, walked into the inner hall, and heard Li Longji's angry shout.

"I've already told you that your mother deserves to be blamed! Now that I've buried her richly regardless of past suspicions, what are you going to do!" Bang!A stack of memorials all flew in front of the kneeling Prince Ying, and Prince Ying dodged subconsciously, but a few of them hit him, so he was in a panic!
Chang Xi stood by the door with hands hanging down, not daring to go in.

Prince Ying choked up and said, "Even if my mother made a mistake, she shouldn't die tragically! She is your concubine after all, and she should leave a legacy!"

"Where did I let her die tragically? Concubine Hui was ordered by me to give Concubine Li a white silk, leaving the whole body, isn't it enough to have a legacy! Those concubines and princes who were killed by your mother, who are treated like her! What Li Longji said made Prince Ying speechless.

Li Longji waved his hands impatiently, "Go down!"

"My son, leave!" Prince Ying cupped his hands helplessly, and retreated with his head bowed. Just as he turned around, he saw Chang Xi standing under the door. He was stunned, indescribably embarrassed.

Chang Xi said indifferently: "The crown prince resents me for killing Concubine Li, but has the crown prince ever understood the feelings of this palace as a mother, Shangxian and Yi'er are also your relatives!"

Prince Ying's face turned hot, and he said embarrassingly: "I know now, thank you for your advice! From now on, I will never bring up this matter again, and I will leave!"

Chang Xi looked at the back of Li Ying leaving silently, and sighed deeply, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Who's outside?" Li Longji asked alertly after hearing the sigh.

Chang Xi took the food box from Qiongyu's hand, slipping her Hunan skirt, and entered it gracefully.It was the first time for me to come to the study room of Qinzheng Hall, and when I entered the door, I saw four big black characters written in black ink above the couch - Yun Wen Yun Wu.At the bottom is a small black lacquered mother-of-pearl table, on which there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones.In the middle of the hall is an incense burner with hundreds of treasures. Although the body of the incense burner is only three feet high, with four doors open and four small bridges erected, there are carvings of flowers, plants, birds, phoenixes and white cranes. There is a lot of silver charcoal burning inside, but there is no trace of smoke. out, it makes the study warm like spring.

Li Longji leaned on the couch, seeing Chang Xi, smiled and said: "It's cold and the road is slippery, what are you doing here? Stay in the Jiaofang Hall for me!"

Chang Xi chuckled, "Staying there all day, you'll be bored to death! It's just a matter of going out for a walk! Your Majesty just loves to make a fuss!" Saying this, he put the food box on the table, A few plates of delicate delicacies and a bowl of chestnut rice lily red date soup were brought out.Chang Xi was sitting by the couch, holding a bowl in his left hand, scooping it gently with a porcelain spoon in his right hand, and blew on his lips before feeding it to Li Longji.

Li Long basically wanted to bring it himself. Seeing how attentive she was, he smiled and followed her, drank a bowl of porridge until there was no rice left, and then gave her a palm on the buttocks. Throwing the bowl out, Li Longji said with a smile: "There is nothing to show courteousness to, it's either rape or stealing! Tell me quickly! If you have anything to ask me!"

There were many red clouds on Chang Xi's face, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "How does Your Majesty know that the minister and concubine have something to ask for?"

Li Longji smiled heartily, "How can you hide it from me with your little thought? Tell me now!"

"The concubine wants to leave the palace!" Chang Xi said seriously.

Li Longji was taken aback for a moment, what was he going out of the palace to do?Could it be that she had already learned about Xiao Yu's death from someone else?No, it's impossible!After Xiao Yu committed suicide, he blocked the news in many ways, so it was absolutely impossible for her to hear it!With a thought, he calmly said: "What are you doing out of the palace? Want to go to the Lantern Festival? But you are pregnant, it is better to move less!"

With tears in Chang Xi's starry eyes, she tremblingly said: "The concubine is not here to go out to play, but to pray for the child in her womb!"

Li Longji didn't realize that Chang Xi's request to leave the palace was for this purpose, so he took her into his arms and said softly: "You want to go out of the palace to pray for blessings because of the tragic death of Shangxian and Yi'er? I know what you mean! But Now that you are pregnant with Liujia, you should chant scriptures and pay homage to the Buddha in Baohua Hall in the palace! If you want to listen to the master's lectures, I will recruit you from Chang'an City!"

Chang Xi shook his head resolutely, "The reason why I have to go out of the palace is because I want to go to Baiyun Temple! I heard that Immortal Daoyi returned to Baiyun Temple after leaving Xingqing Palace, and I want to see him , Your Majesty, please agree!" Chang Xi looked at Li Longji with a pair of apricot tears.

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said: "That's good! You can go! But remember to bring more guards, um... I will ask Heng Yue to accompany you!"

"Not good! General Hengyue is responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety. The concubines are only leaving the palace as ordinary people. There is no need to bring so many guards with great fanfare. Just choose a few from the Jinwu Guard!" Chang Xi lay in Li Longji's arms. Li said.

Li Longji nodded and said: "Then you must choose a guard with high martial arts skills, shrewd and capable! I ordered Heng Yue to choose for you!"

Chang Xi agreed with a smile, and wrapped her hands around Li Longji's waist.

This morning, the sky was just right. Standing on the Yedu of Baling, you can see the sapphire-like sky when you look up. In the westerly wind, you can hear birdsong from time to time.

The Bahe River has long been frozen under the ravages of the severe winter, the vegetation is decaying everywhere, and the ground is covered with snow. Outside Chang'an City, there are few people, except for a few fast horses and a few pedestrians.

Chang Xi was wearing a thick cloak, holding the stove in his hand, standing on the bully.

Baling, originally the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, got its name because it was close to the Bahe River. The Baling Bridge in Chang’an in Tang Dynasty was the only way to leave the capital and lead to Kyushu, so many pedestrians bid farewell here. This time, Bao Ge Being fined to guard the border, Chang Xi actually wanted to see him off here by using the pretext of going out of the palace to pray for blessings.

Brother Bao, who had just been released from prison, had a ruddy complexion, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, and had a Tang saber specially given to him by Chang Xi pinned to his waist. He imitated those literati in the language books of his youth, and clasped his fists: "Send you a thousand miles, We have to say goodbye, please come back, Concubine Hui!"

Chang Xi was deeply saddened, but his brows and eyes were filled with smiles because of his deliberate manipulation.

Brother Bao also shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then said: "It's a pity that it's winter now, so you can't be arty, so don't be sad! I'm going to guard the border, not to die. Besides, I can gallop on the battlefield, always It is my long-cherished wish, old classmate, you should be happy!"

Chang Xi said sadly: "Where can I come out happily, now is ancient times, the transportation is inconvenient, and there is no phone, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, I don't know if we can meet again!"

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" Brother Bao spat three times, "Don't say such bad words! Be careful that words become prophecies!"

Chang Xi instructed: "When you go to Yumen Pass, don't forget to send my letter to Guo Ziyi. I think he will take good care of you because of my support!"

"Don't worry!" Brother Bao patted his chest, indicating that he hid the letter there, "It's you, I'm a little worried!"

Chang Xi shook her head and said: "You have already helped me get rid of Concubine Li, the remaining queens are not a problem, I can deal with them myself!"

Brother Bao hurriedly said: "You must not be careless! Concubine Li has been favored for many years, and she has attacked the queen several times, but she has not brought her down. It can be seen that although the queen is not favored, she has her way of survival! Besides, the queen The mother has been in the world for many years, and she has her brother Wang Shouyi to help her in the previous dynasty. She has already attracted many officials to serve her. The interests of the former court and the harem are often intertwined. You have to be extra careful! Go back and make good use of the power in your hand , support your two younger brothers, and have someone to take care of you in the future!"

Chang Xi nodded silently, thinking to himself that Brother Bao was right, and said, "I've made a note of it!"

Brother Bao let out a long sigh, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is not this! It's the enemy that is about to appear and you have to face!"

"What enemy?" Chang Xi was a little confused, so besides Concubine Li and the Empress, where else could there be enemies?Dong Fangyi and them?Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
Brother Bao looked solemn, and said every word: "Yang-gui-fei!"

　Everyone guess, is Yu Zhaorong sincerely surrendering?
