A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 56 Forbidden Court (56)
Those with skills win the world. It has been like this since ancient times. If you want to resent, you will resent your fate. (2)
The noble concubine said: "Saint, don't panic, at least you are still in the middle palace right now. The saint didn't grow up in the forbidden middle school, so I don't know how much strength he will have to use after he is abolished. The officials have to discuss it with the prime ministers. This is a major event that shakes the foundation. It’s not something that can be decided in a few words. In the eyes of the officials, the fate of the country is the first, and they usually object, but that is when the empress is not guilty of any serious crimes. Mistakes like saints... I’m afraid it’s really difficult to deal with.”

In other words, she, the queen, has committed a serious crime, and it is reasonable to abolish the queen.Yun Hua hummed, "Then according to what you see, who in this ban is qualified to be the successor?"

The following two words sound very harsh, the imperial concubine frowned and said with a smile: "This has to be decided by the officials and the queen mother, I can't wait to speculate."

"Actually, if I don't talk about this kind of thing, you should know it in your heart. When you and I came together to get married, I was lucky enough to win the first place and wronged you. Now that I'm down, it's your turn." She He raised his orchid finger with one hand, and tucked it seductively on his cheek.Because of being born well, even in sleepiness, there is still a fresh and confusing taste.She blinked at her, "It's better to give it to you than to concubine Xian and the others. But the officials have a weird temper, and they will look for me even when they fall asleep. If Mrs. Liang is the queen, don't annoy me when this happens And the officials don't seem to like your bed very much. Last time I came back after drinking and complained that I didn't pick him up, which caused him to stay in a strange place for so long..."

No matter how well-bred the noble concubine is, she will be angry. She is already proud, how can she endure such deliberate humiliation.The official's attitude has always embarrassed her, she just hides it under the excitement.Now she digs it out regardless of life and death, and still wants to sprinkle salt on her wounds, what kind of heart is there!

"Is that what the officials said?" She forced a smile, but her face was ashen, and her smile became a little scary, "I was kind enough to see what the saint lacks. I don’t want the saint to be so tense with me. If you want to say love, who dares to assert that you can be loved for a lifetime? The saint’s flowery face will wither and grow old one day, and the color will fade. Haven’t the saint heard of it?”

She smirked and didn't mind, "That's okay, it's better than not even knowing what it's like to be doted on. The imperial concubine is a smart person, and she should know that relying on the power behind her can't last long. A wise monarch will not sit back and watch his relatives become powerful. , I can use you today, and annex you tomorrow. In the end, I can at least make him nostalgic, so what can Mrs. Liang rely on?"

The noble concubine's face changed with anger, but she was afraid that outsiders would hear it, so she said in a low voice: "You lowly servant girl, what else can you do other than seduce the Lord? If you were in Wurong, I would have ordered someone to skin you alive! You are still so arrogant and domineering after a complete defeat, and the government treats you preferentially, can you really think that you can last long? Since he has such ambitions, I will fulfill him, which is a hundred times stronger than you showing off your lust! The overlord standing sideways should be A woman who matches him, you kind of thing, just keep it in the harem for prostitution, hold it in a high position, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still!"

She started to scold, but the queen suddenly pulled out a pair of scissors from her sleeve and held them up high, the cold light flickered under her hands.The noble concubine gasped in fright, "What are you going to do?"

But she smiled gently, "Ms. Liang, are you afraid? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." But the scissors fell, and instead of pointing at her, they pierced herself.

The imperial concubine was dumbfounded, watching the blood gurgling out, staining her sleeves red.The queen was like a fallen leaf, limply lying in a pool of blood.

There was a bang of thunder in her mind, and she took two steps back hastily, and then heard someone screaming at the gate of the palace, "It's not good, go back to the official's house quickly, the saint has been attacked in the palace!"

When the news reached the Chuigong Hall, Imamaka was discussing tax matters with the prime ministers.Lu Jing stumbled into the door, ignoring the presence of all the ministers, and pointed to the direction of Xi Xie with trembling fingers, "Your Majesty...the queen was attacked and fell unconscious."

The melody in his hand fell down, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong, "What?"

Lu Jing swallowed his saliva. After all, it is a matter of the inner court. It is not good to say it directly in front of outsiders. I can't make up my mind about things..."

He stood up, dizzy.How could such a thing happen? Afraid that she would be hurt, he retreated [-] steps and asked her to take shelter in Xiyi, why was she still attacked?He was so panicked that he hurriedly picked up his robe and ran out without saying a word.

Another person in the hall was also flustered, and walked slowly, but he grabbed him and asked in a low voice: "How is the queen?"

Lu Jing said: "Returning to the words of the lord, the minister also heard the report, but did not see it with his own eyes. It is said that he was stabbed and bled a lot. The injury is not serious." After speaking, he made a bow and hurried to catch up with Jin.

How he was attacked, and who he was attacked by, is unknown at the moment.Yun Guan was concerned, but that was someone else's queen, and he had no right to visit her.Looking outside, thick clouds have accumulated in the sky, and it seems that it is about to rain.It was strange that Zhongyuan didn't protect her well, he clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, and after listening to the noisy discussions from the crowd behind him, he calmed down and turned around and said: "Since something happened in the ban, you should not wait for Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be a while If you can't solve it for a while, let's just disperse."

The chief executives bowed their hands in salute and exited the Chui Gong Hall one after another.He also went out with his hands behind his back, and left the Chengtian Gate, while Jian Cheng waited at the Donghua Gate.The sky started to drizzle, and Cheng Ze opened his umbrella to greet him, and said in a low voice, "Yuma Zhi, Peng Ri, Shenwei and other commanders are all ready, and we just wait for the order from the Lord."

He nodded, "Just now the vice-president sent word that the empress was attacked, and there is a great chaos at the top. If there is a coup now, he has no time to take care of it. I think it will be more likely to win. But I don't know what the empress is like, I feel very confused... He said, his face turned pale, "I want to go in and see her, I wonder if she is in danger."

Cheng Ze said: "Master Lang still needs to hold back. If we procrastinate, our actions will be hindered when we come to our senses today. After the calculation, there are about three or four thousand people in total. Let's quietly control each For the gate guards, three or forty thousand people will enter the palace and take the Funing Palace, that's enough. The Lord misses the queen, if he wants to see her, he has to replace her with the current one, otherwise he will never have a chance."

He turned his head to look at him, made up his mind, nodded and said: "You in the palace was just releasing the key, and the sky was getting hazy at that time, so he rushed to launch a surprise attack before the palace gate was locked. He was caught off guard. Today, a few commanders are secretly summoned to discuss, Get up tomorrow evening, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Cheng Ze complied smugly, and turned around to look at the continuous palace. Under the dark sky, it seemed oppressive and heavy.There is really not much time, and no one knows when Konjo will launch the fatal blow.Rather than being killed in your sleep, it's better to fight vigorously.Success or failure is at one stroke, and failure is at most a death; if it succeeds, it will be able to avenge its shame, and there is no need to linger on alive.

When that side rushed to Xixie today, the queen was still lying in a pool of blood.Because the scissors were pierced deeply, no one dared to move her easily.When he entered the door and saw this scene, his heart was clenched.Datan's blood flowed out from that frail body, probably it had already left her in the air!
He knelt down and called her, "Queen..."

She reacted slightly, the person who was alive and kicking suddenly became like this, he wanted to kill someone.Just not caring so much for the time being, he carefully held her in his arms, lifted her up gently, and sent her to the couch.The medical officers rushed forward to treat the wound, feel the pulse, and prescribe prescriptions.Standing on the sidelines and watching blankly, he felt that his internal organs were all shattered and turned into dross, which could never be put together again.

The Empress Dowager arrived in a hurry, stood watching from a distance, frowned and said: "This forbidden court is really getting more and more chaotic, first poisoning, and then assassination, what should I ask people to do?" In fact, once she encounters an accident, not only will she lose the opportunity to raise troops, but she will also allow Sui Guo to take advantage of the loopholes, so as to publicize that their eldest princess was killed in the Forbidden Court of Dayue, and bind Dayue's hands and feet.

The Hanlin medical officer withdrew and bowed to Jin Shang, "Don't be impatient when the official is safe. I have checked that the saint lost a lot of blood, but he didn't hurt his lungs. It's a blessing among misfortunes. Now that the qi is deficient and the blood is deficient, the incision is also deep. For a woman, even if it does not involve her life, it is still a laborious job. The minister sewed up the wound for the saint, applied medicine and bandaged it properly, but I am afraid it will take time to recover. The saint is delicate and precious, and when he wakes up Unknown, it is inevitable that the pain will be unbearable after waking up. Do not leave others before bed, take the medicine on time, rest for three to five days, and it will improve to some extent."

Knowing that she was not in danger, Imakami hesitated for a long time before letting go.Sitting on the edge of her bed and waiting, looking at her for a moment, she was so angry that he didn't know what to do.It was only now that I remembered to ask the story, straightened up and said: "What's going on? There are Banzhi guards outside Xiyiwai, who hurt the queen?"

Miss Jin took a step forward and cried: "The saint was embroidering flowers in the hall in the second half of the day. Lady Liang came to visit. The servant girl led Lady Liang into the room. After serving refreshments, she stood outside the hall. At first the saint and Lady Liang were chatting and laughing. Later, a dispute arose for some reason. The servant girl was worried, so she eavesdropped outside the curtain. They spoke in a low voice, and could not hear the truth. Fearing that the sage would suffer, I wanted to go in and try to persuade him, but I saw Mrs. Liang picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed at the sage..."

The noble concubine said with an ashen face: "You are talking nonsense, it is clear that the sage killed himself to frame me!" She begged the present in panic, "The official family has learned that the ministers and concubines came to visit the sage because they were afraid that the sage would be short of food and clothing in the west. What kind of dispute. It was all good at first, but the sage hid scissors in his sleeve, and suddenly stabbed himself... The concubine is innocent, there is a god in the head, the concubine dare not lie, the government wants to make decisions for the concubine .”

Chunwo has been taking care of the queen. After hearing her words, she turned around with tears in her eyes, and cried, "Miss Liang, do you want to get rid of the relationship? Everyone in the forbidden family knows what kind of temperament my saint usually has. People are short, kind-hearted and cowardly. A person who dare not even kill a chicken, how can he attack himself, and the wound is so deep, it’s not that he hates it, where does he come from such strength? Mrs. Liang wants the officials to make decisions for you Who will uphold justice for my saint? She was wronged and imprisoned in the cold palace yesterday. Mrs. Liang is still unwilling to let her go, chasing her to the cold palace to humiliate her. She is the mother of a country, how can Mrs. Liang insult her like this You can just scold her, but you still want to hurt her life. In the end, you are just jealous of the saint and his relatives, and want to put her to death to vent your hatred."

Imam looked straight at the past, his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to pierce someone.The imperial concubine knew that this time she had fallen into the trap they had set up, so she was very anxious and screamed like crazy, "I didn't! Why do I need to take her life? I sent it to the door like this to ask you to take me!" Is there a clue?" One side said and the other side cried and knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty, save me, I can't tell what I'm talking about now. I didn't hurt the saint, but they plotted against me. Madam, can you trust me? Speak up for me, if I am such a vicious person, I should care about the queen poisoning me last time."

Gritting his teeth today, he said: "You have no proof, how dare you assert that the queen poisoned you? Just because you have determined this in your heart, you are prepared to take revenge. Let the queen mother save you, how can you save you? The queen lies down Is it all fake here? You said she killed herself, well said!" He turned his head and ordered the recording scene, "Bring some scissors! If the imperial concubine can do it to me, I will believe you."

Does she dare?She dare not.It's not that they are in a desperate situation, no one has the courage.

The imperial concubine even forgot to cry, stared blankly at the scissors that Lu Jing handed over, wanted to pick it up, but finally withdrew her hand and burst into tears.

The empress dowager was in a dilemma, whether it was the imperial concubine's actions or not, she couldn't tell for a while, but she knew in her heart which was more important as the battle was imminent.I wanted to cover up a few words for her, but I didn't want the queen's wet nurse to say something new.

"The official family let the servant girl report back." Chunwo tucked in his hands, "Miss Liang said that the Queen poisoned Yisheng Pavilion, and the servant girl remembered that after Madam Liang's illness, the saint was always in his arms, and ordered Ah Rong to give supplements many times. Mrs. Liang also often rewarded Ah Rong. After coming and going, it is hard to tell who Ah Rong was ordered by. Both of Ah Rong’s parents died, and she was worried about her future livelihood. Now that she is dead, there is no proof of her death, and the maid does not dare to make rash assertions. She just wants to ask the officials to return the saint to be innocent." Weeping, she looked back on the bed, and said in a choked voice, "She is a A person who has no intentions, otherwise he would not have ended up like this today. The official family is the closest person to her, if the official family does not support her, then the saint is really pitiful."

Chunwo's words made the queen mother suspicious of the imperial concubine.The empress intends to kill the officials with poison, and the news really came from the imperial concubine.It's good that she wants to use this to raise troops, but if it's really a situation set up by the noble concubine, then her character is questionable.

The imperial concubine naturally couldn't admit it, but now she is in the same embarrassing situation as the empress that day, she is a proud person, and relying on the fact that the official family still has a place for her, she is not busy making excuses.Instead, Shang Gong beside her knelt down and kowtowed, "My lady was born noble, and people who grew up in the palace would never bother to do such a stupid thing. Now that they are framed, and the white jade is covered with dust, please judge the officials and the queen mother for Wife washes away her grievances."

Today, due to the serious injury of the empress, he can't spare the time to deal with this matter. Regardless of whether the imperial concubine is innocent or not, it is certain that he despises her extremely at the moment.He stared at her fiercely, and said in a cold voice: "The forbidden court scandal should not be publicized. The queen was seriously injured, and the imperial concubine was suspected of being serious. She was temporarily detained in the plain room of Yongxiang to make her think about her past mistakes. She will deal with it when the queen is safe."

The plain room in Yongxiang is different from the Queen's Xixi, it is a place with only four walls left. It can be seen how partial the officials are.The imperial concubine staggered to her feet, the outer yellow door was about to be escorted, but she tried her best to block it.She straightened her collar and walked out without further words.

The queen mother watched, helpless.The queen has been fainting, and the officials can't make up their minds to investigate and deal with it, so they have to wait.

She went up to check and found that she was seriously injured, so she sighed: "The young child is impulsive, so why bother! Anyway, let the queen rest for a while, it's a pity that she has suffered this time. The officials must also be careful about their own health." Body, the residual heat in your body does not go away, I don’t know why. If you are too tired, I’m afraid you won’t be able to carry it.”

Today's precept is, "There is nothing wrong here, my lady, let's go back! Treat the queen a little better, I will move her into the Hall of Rouyi, so I can take care of her nearby."

The Empress Dowager opened her lips, intending to object, but in the end she held back.When the official is distressed, it is useless to say anything to him.There is only one queen in his eyes, looking at this Xixi, it is so comfortably decorated, those who don't know it think it is Yongjin Palace!The imperial concubine was loved by no one, so she was sent directly to the plain room, which was a real loss.In the future, I will rely on her to accomplish things, so I can't wait any longer.Long sleeves still need her, the queen mother, to dance later. The queen relies on the official family, but Wu Rong is behind the noble concubine. Comparing the two, the noble concubine must be the most important.

The Empress Dowager went away with the painting in her arms, and the idlers in the hall dispersed, only Chunwo and Aunt Jin were left to take care of them.The decoction came and went, and I fed it myself today. At nightfall, the queen became hot again, and the temples were soaked with bean-sized beads of sweat on her forehead.
