A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 55 Forbidden Court (55)
Those with skills win the world. It has been like this since ancient times. If you want to resent, you will resent your fate. (1)
When Chunwo came, weeping and crying, he wanted to go up to meet him, but seeing that he was here, he had to hold back his steps and enjoy the blessing at the bottom of the steps.

The hall is almost furnished, and there are a lot of things that should be there. The hall that was deserted and lonely before is full of abundance in a blink of an eye.He fiddled with the incense bead, looked around, was satisfied, and said: "You can rest assured, tell the servant at the gate what you want, let him send a message to Funing Palace, I will order Lujing to do it for you personally."

She hummed, and then hesitated, "I'm afraid the queen mother will not be happy if she finds out."

He just smiled when he heard that, "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really an eternal problem, but the country is still in my hands. I am your husband, and you don't have to be afraid of anyone."

She gradually settled down in her heart, and looked at him again, he looked around with his hands behind his back, still looking idle.She turned around and ordered Chunwo and Aunt Jin to go in and tidy up the left and right side halls, and asked him, "Yesterday I had a severe fever, are you alright today?"

He touched his forehead, "It's still a little bit, but it's much better than yesterday."

She was worried, she touched hers with one hand, and touched him with the other. As soon as she touched her, he pulled her closer. He smiled softly and said, "Why bother, that's fine." Out.

He was indeed still burning, and she felt very worried, "It's been a day and a night, how could this happen? Can you take medicine? If this continues, people will be stupid."

He said he ate it, "It's a pity that it's useless. It doesn't matter, I'm in good health, and I'll retire by myself in two days."

She looked up at him with a worried look, and for some reason, her heart ached so badly, "The health of the official dragon is the most important thing to me. I can't be with you all the time now, you have to take care of your body. Only when you fight with others can you show your strengths without fear.”

She asked Xu Xu, and he felt warm in his heart. He nodded and said: "I remember, don't worry about me. Before you came to Bianliang, I lived safely for 23 years. If you came, wouldn't I be successful? "

She said: "I'm worried. I always feel that the matter is not over yet. Maybe there will be bigger changes. Who knows... There are undercurrents in the court, and the road under the official's foot is not easy."

He didn't care, "One view of the cloud made me mess up. How can I do big things in the future? He thinks that I don't know about those little tricks, but in fact it's all in the palm of my hand. Now I just wait for him to make trouble, and I'll be a turtle in the urn. Time to convince him."

She sighed for a long time, she didn't want to bother with their fight now, let them go, the winner is king, this has always been the way in this world.She stretched out her hand to straighten his collar, felt that his clothes were a little thin, and complained: "Put more on, I don't know how to add clothes if I'm not good."

She frowned, even if she was blaming, she looked like a spoiled child.His heart was agitated, he held her face, and kissed her dearly, "Queen, I don't think I can do without you."

She hangs her hands on his wrists in vain, and doesn't respond to him, but her eyes clearly say that I am too.

Two people who love each other, only one is subdued, and the other can't get angry even if he gets angry again. This is probably the so-called love!When we got together, time passed quickly, and we didn't want to be separated at all.She finally hugged his waist, buried her face in his arms, and said in a sad voice, "Can you promise me one thing?"

He closed his eyes, the world was far away, and all he could feel was her.His voice hovered over her head, "Say."

"Don't doubt me from now on, always trust me." She looked up at him, tears rolled down from her eyes and fell into her collar, "If you doubt me, I will feel that life is hopeless. If I was young An early death must not be a death of illness, but a forced death.”

What she said made him tremble, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

She pinched his wrist with both hands, using a lot of strength, "I will never hurt you in my life, I swear to heaven and earth." The corners of her lips twisted, choked up, "I will give you my heart, for the rest of my life I only love you alone. You have to believe in me, no matter how rough you are, remember what I said today."

He pressed his heart, nodded and said yes, "I believe in the queen's sincerity, and I will never doubt you."

"You will do what you say." She repeated with gritted teeth, "This is the last time. If you don't believe me, the fate between us will end here, and I will never see you again."

He looked at her face, the gentle and beautiful facial features, and when he talked about the eagerness, it was a bit hideous.He laughed, but there was a heavy taste in his smile, "I know, keep it in mind, you don't need to do this, but it made me very nervous." He looked up at the moonlight, "It's getting late, you Rest early, I'm going back to Funing Palace."

She was just embarrassed to say that she actually hoped that he would stay.But she knew that this was a cold palace, if he stayed overnight, he would be inappropriate.What's more, there are many eyes in the ban, so it is impossible for the news to spread to the court. There is no clue about the poisoning case.

She nodded, but she refused to let go of her hand. She tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice, "If only I could become a piece of jade or a sachet...it would be nice to hang it on your body without having to separate it." .”

They have slept together in the same bed many times, and they have been caressed and moved warmly during the time spent together.Although the marriage has not yet been consummated, Meng Hua feels that they are a part of each other, as close as one person.

He understood her meaning and thoughts, so he could only keep kissing her, "I also want to become a hairpin, an earring...whatever you think, I just think." He smiled, Caressing her face, "There is no such a good couple in the world, is there?"

She shook her head and said, "There will definitely not be, we are the best and the most loving."

Because of her words, he had the urge to cry.He is naturally cool and thin, and may be mentally retarded in some aspects, but for her, he mobilized all his enthusiasm.If this is not enough, I am afraid that love should be quit.Fortunately, she is not sophisticated and doesn't have too high demands on him. Two people who are equally naive, frankly, I treat you well, and you treat me well.When I was sixteen and 23 years old, I met a pure love. Even if I got angry sometimes, I would say something indiscriminately, and forget it when I said it.

He hugged her vigorously, "Queen, I'm leaving. After I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll take you to the Funing Palace. After the Rouyi Palace, it will be your bedroom. Let's meet each other day and night, okay?"

"Then the official..." she said with tears, "How long do you want me to wait? Give me a deadline so that I can hope."

He made the calculations and said: "It will take three to five days sooner, or half a month later, Yun Guan will definitely not be able to hold back. When I get rid of him, I will come to pick you up right away."

She said yes, let him go, wiped away her tears and looked down solemnly, "The concubine sent the official home respectfully."

There must be a decision in the end, and it will never work if you are so inseparable.He became cruel, turned around and went out, she sent her to the palace gate, and waited for his figure to disappear before turning back into the palace.

Chunwo wiped her tears under the lamp, and when she saw her come in, she hurried up to meet her, looked her up and down, and murmured, "It's good that the sage is safe... I was really afraid that something might happen to you yesterday, and if something happened to you, I wouldn't mind alive."

Aunt Jin and Brother Fo were also crying. They were young girls after all, and I was a little scared when I remembered the momentum yesterday.A large group of imperial dragons rushed straight into the Qingning Palace, it was like the enemy army slaughtering the city in a wilderness.A lot of people were tied up with their hands cut behind their backs, and there was no sense of solemnity in the middle palace.Because they were the queen's personal servants, they had to interrogate them overnight, even coaxed and threatened them, and they were only short of being executed in the end.

Fortunately, being transferred back today, although Xihei is not as good as Qingning Palace, at least the official family still has friendship.Judging from this current situation, the queen has not yet fallen out of favor, so it is finally safe and sound!
Chunwo cursed blindly, "Ah Rong is so heartbroken, she forgot who took her in and gave her food and clothing. If I had known this, I might as well have had a dog back then! Even if a dog knows how to repay a favor, she is not as good as a pig or a dog." .Why did she do it? Did she tell you?"

She sat on the couch and sighed, "It would have been better if I had revealed it to me. I didn't expect her to be so tight-lipped. Mom, don't scold me, she's gone, so I don't care about her right or wrong."

Chunwo was startled, and seemed to calm down when she heard that she was dead.He just said: "She's done it once and for all, leaving a mess behind and making you suffer."

Is there any way, take precautions against everything, you can't prevent the fruit from rotting from your heart.She raised her eyes to look at Aunt Jin and Brother Fo, and said in a low voice: "I specially asked the officials to transfer you to Xiyai, but in fact it was to keep you safe. Ah Rong made a confession before his death at the order of Queen Mother Guo. If you really want to Speaking of which, when you come out of Sui Palace, you will have to suffer physically and mentally when you give an order. I can't get out now, so you stay with me, so that you can keep me company and let me watch over you. Ah Rong This death can be regarded as death without proof, and the cloud view has not been removed, the big axe will not face the Sui Xing soldiers for the time being. But..." Sadness welled up in her eyes, she put her arms on the small ebony table, and the oily table top called Her hands were bloodless white.She took a breath and said, "In fact, I have this preparation myself. Even if the officials want to protect me, the general trend will lead me to raise troops in the end. There is no way to do it. It can be regarded as doom! The national strength of the Three Kingdoms now, Big Yue is first, followed by Sui Kingdom, and Wurong is at the bottom. To start a war, it must be Big Yue that wins over Wurong and annexes Sui Kingdom together... In the current situation, with the power of you and me, I am afraid it will be very difficult. It's hard to stop. At that time, my ability is limited, and I really can't protect you."

In fact, she sees it very clearly and knows everything, but sometimes she doesn't want to care too much and just muddle along.Aunt Jin and Brother Fo looked at each other, then knelt down and kowtowed in front of her, "Saint, don't worry, since the servant girl is by the saint's side, I will swear to protect the saint's safety."

She raised her face, looked at the top of the hall with empty eyes, and said sadly: "I am in this position, there is no way out. I can't even escape, because even if I escape here, it will become an excuse for war. In the end, maybe only Only by killing myself can I win two or three years for the Sui Kingdom!"

Her words made the three of them panic. "A sage must not have such thoughts. Is it worthwhile to exchange one life for two or three years? After three years, you will still be able to raise troops. Who will remember you then?"

She pursed her lips, and began to think in her heart that this was the worst policy, and she was not willing to die.When a person is cornered, no matter how good-tempered he is, he will try to resist.The imperial concubine is already actively moving closer to the present, and she can use the attitude of an ally instead of a concubine.Isn't she the bond between Wurong and Dayue? If their alliance is destroyed, can their plan be put on hold temporarily?
But if you really want to do this, what you said to the officials just now seems to have ulterior motives.She wanted him to trust her, but now she wanted to use his trust to deceive him. She hesitated in her heart, but to break the conspiracy of the queen mother and the noble concubine, and to save herself, she had to be a despicable person.

She turned her head and asked Chunwo, "Is the person sent into Yisheng Pavilion last time reliable?"

Chunwo said: "Saint, don't worry, it is absolutely reliable."

She sighed for a long time, "Anyway, there is no evidence of death now, so just blame the poisoning on the noble concubine. The noble concubine wanted to replace me, so she did not hesitate to bribe A Rong to frame me, otherwise how can they explain their coincidence? I know the noble concubine I won't put the person I sent in front of you, the two palace servants only need to testify that the imperial concubine has summoned Ah Rong, and I want to see how the Queen Mother resolves this kind of headless case."

Aunt Jin thought for a while and said: "The idea of ​​the saint is feasible, I'm afraid that the mastermind behind this matter is..."

"Is it an official?" She leaned on the pillow with a lonely expression, "If this is the case, I will lose the bet and have to accept my fate. But I can also see clearly that he, like Yun Guan, has nothing worthy of my nostalgia gone."

Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to fight back, Brother Fo is eager to try, "My servant finds a way to go out and communicate with Yinu and the others. Otherwise, I am afraid they will not be prepared if they start a fight."

Chunwo looked out in embarrassment, "There is a guard on guard, how can I get out?"

Brother Fo said: "Buy two yellow gates, change into one of the clothes when the meal is delivered, and get out without making a sound. The sage can rest assured that the maidservants were specially adjusted when they were in Sui, so they can't fool the officials." , it’s okay to fool a few forbidden soldiers.”

She breathed a sigh of relief, it was so good.She has no choice, although she knows that the officials also have the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to send troops, but she can't just watch him attack her mother country.Queen Mother Guo and Gao Fei will die under his sword once the country is broken.After all, they are relatives who are connected by flesh and blood. Even if she doesn't have much emotion, she still has to work hard to save them.If the Sui envoy is smart enough to gain insight into the conspiracy brewing in the Forbidden Court, he can bring the news back, at least giving Gao Fei time to prepare.

Once the plan is made, it will be strictly followed.Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest. The imperial concubine came to Xihe the next afternoon, probably for the purpose of suppressing it.When Huangmen entered the palace to announce, Yunhua was checking in front of the flower tent, sat down after listening to the report, and replied: "Please come in and meet the noble concubine." He picked up the scissors and hid them under the big sleeves.

Huangmen went out to deliver the order, and soon led the concubine in.The imperial concubine looked around after entering the door, "The sage is quite comfortable here. I thought the Leng Palace only had four walls left, but I didn't expect the cost to be no worse than Qingning Palace."

She didn't salute when she entered the door, she clearly didn't say that she didn't pay attention to her, and Yan Hua didn't care about it, she smiled and said: "Does Lady Liang like this place? If so, it's okay to stay and live with her."

The imperial concubine quickly waved her hands, "The sage was joking, I didn't get the government's and the queen mother's will, even if I wanted to be with the sage, I didn't have the guts." Aunt Jin brought tea in and put it in front of her, she didn't move, just said, "I came here on purpose to admit my mistake for what happened yesterday. If I had known...that I made a saint like this, I'm really sorry for you."

Zi Hua looked at her round face, it was obviously harmless, and in the quagmire of power, countless thoughts would arise.She pushed the cup forward, "Miss Liang, drink tea, do you want me to test the poison for you?"

The imperial concubine smiled awkwardly, "The sage still hates me. I think that when you and I entered the Forbidden Court together, we said in advance in the Sifang Pavilion that if you are rich, don't forget each other. Now that it has become like this, I feel very sad. "

She slowly took a sip of tea and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, on the contrary, I want to thank you. If you and the Queen Mother hadn't happened to arrive and the soup was delivered to the official, I would really regret it. I Outsiders can't understand the relationship with him. You see the officials are cold-hearted, but I don't think so. I respect him and love him, and I don't want him to be hurt in the slightest. So I learned that Ah Rong wanted to kill him with poison. I can't wait to execute her personally to thank the officials. I cried all night the day before yesterday, and I was afraid that the officials would misunderstand me and never want me again." She smiled shyly, and her gaze led her around the hall, "As you can see, he still loves me. The cost of food and clothing here is higher than that of Yongjin Palace. I know his heart. He is afraid that I will be wronged, so he considers everything for me. It is not in vain for me to have a relationship with him." .”

The smile on the imperial concubine's face froze, not to mention whether she loves Jinshang or not, women have a heart for comparison.In the same palace, you are favored, but I am not, why?She is a real princess with a very noble background. She originally disdained to be compared with a wild princess like her, but after entering the Forbidden Court, someone who is not as good as her is pressed on her head and becomes a queen. She should feel very sorry for her face Bar!
Yan Hua deliberately wanted to provoke her, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Liang, do you believe that I did the poison?"

The noble concubine was stunned for a moment, "Of course I don't believe it. The saint's heart is kind, and he has a deep relationship with the official couple. How could he poison his husband! But the poison was in the cup offered by the saint. The sage also saw it with her own eyes..." She smiled ambiguously, "If the sage didn't know, there is only one way to say it. It was the wife in front of the sage who made the decision. But she died, and she died in fear of sin at this time. Isn't it a great disadvantage?"

She nodded, "I know, when she dies, some people should be happy. I'm so full of mouth that I can't tell. What do you think, I'm afraid that the empress will abdicate."
