I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 70
After leaving Qinzheng Hall, Li Zhaoyi didn't care about the demeanor that concubines should have, and walked quickly along the palace wall. She walked so fast that the maid trotted a few steps before barely following her, and asked urgently Said: "Master, you made a mistake, this is not the way back to the palace!"

"What are you going back to the palace to do, sit and wait for death?" Li Zhaoyi's eyes flashed a ruthless look, and she only accelerated her pace further, ignoring the maid.

The maid had never seen Li Zhaoyi like this before, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just followed behind her silently, and didn't react until Fengyi Palace appeared in sight.

"Master, are you going to ask the empress?" After Li Zhaoyi entered the palace and was favored, she was able to share the love with Concubine Xu in such a short period of time. Naturally, the empress' secret help was indispensable, but she was very shrewd and didn't want to Becoming a pawn in someone else's hands means that even though he has enough respect for the queen and often sends things to Fengyi Palace on weekdays, he has never expressed his submission, but now that his life is at stake, he doesn't care about that much anymore.

"The Empress will not just watch Xu Guifei stand out. As long as I show enough sincerity, I believe she will help me." The emperor has no hope for the time being, and she has to find another way, otherwise once the case is finalized, There is no way to recover.

"But the empress doesn't treat you sincerely, will she..." The maid did not say the following words, because she had already arrived at the main entrance of Fengyi Palace.

Li Zhaoyi calmed down her panting mood, and was about to let the palace man guarding the gate report, but saw the palace man respectfully blessed him, "The master just explained that you can go in directly when the lady Zhaoyi comes, and you don't need to call again." report."

……

A simple sentence made Li Zhaoyi's spine feel chills. The queen was very well informed, but she knew within a moment that he would ask her for help.

But now, it's useless to think about other things, so I had to bite the bullet and enter the main hall. What Li Zhaoyi didn't expect was that the crown prince Murong Jing was also in the hall. After she saluted the queen, Murong Jing also stood up , bowed to her, smiled and said: "Wanfu, Concubine Li Mu."

The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, how dare Li Zhaoyi accept his gift, she hurriedly avoided, saying: "How dare a concubine accept the gift from His Royal Highness, Your Highness is very polite."

"Zhaoyi, you are Li'er's concubine, why not accept a gift from him?" The queen said with a smile, and after ordering the palace servants to give her a seat, she continued: "If my guess is correct, Zhaoyi will come to you today. Come, but because of Lai Qifeng being detained?"

Li Zhaoyi didn't expect the queen to ask such a straightforward question, she was slightly taken aback, then got up and knelt down, choked up and said, "I beg the queen to save my father, the whole family of my concubine is willing to be a cow and a horse. Forget the great kindness of the empress!"

"Since you and I serve the emperor together, we are sisters, so what are you doing with such a grand ceremony?" The queen motioned the servants to help Li Zhaoyi up, and sighed slightly: "I just heard Li'er say a few words about this matter. , but the specific details are not very clear, how did your father commit the crime so well, and was dealt with so severely by Mr. Leng?"

It's good that the queen didn't mention it, but when this was mentioned, Li Zhaoyi couldn't help but shed tears immediately, choking with grievances and saying: "The concubine's father has been an official in the court for many years, and he has always been diligent and diligent. Dare to slack off, for fear of disappointing the emperor’s kindness, Jiangling suffered a disaster a few days ago, and the concubine’s father, as the magistrate, naturally has a duty to do so.” Seeing that the queen did not interrupt her, Li Zhaoyi took a breath, and continued: “At that time, I did not receive any notice from the court. The disaster relief documents issued, how dare the concubine's father open the granary privately, so he had to use the grain stored in the government to distribute porridge, but the gang of unscrupulous people were not greedy enough, not only looting the food, but also colluding with the Red Lotus Sect rebels to rebel, the concubine's father sent troops to crusade for the majesty of the court The Red Lotus Sect somehow offended Prince Leng and was said to be disregarding the life and death of the common people, my lord, the concubine's father is really wronged!"

Li Zhaoyi is a shrewd person, and her words are very flattering. She never mentioned that Lai Qifeng suppressed the victims by force, causing countless casualties among the victims. She only complained about being punished for the opponent's encirclement and suppression of the Red Lotus Society. At first glance, it would make people feel Leng Yuanxun was dissatisfied with Lai Qifeng's encirclement and suppression of the Red Lotus Sect. The Red Lotus Sect is a traitor to the people, and everyone can punish them. If Leng Yuanxun sympathizes with them, this crime... can't be settled in a few words.

The emperor has been suspicious since ancient times, and it is impossible for him to be unprepared for a courtier with high ability and prestige like Leng Yuanxun. As long as he provokes a little, the other party will naturally not be able to please him.

The queen is not a fool, so she naturally understands what Li Zhaoyi said. It caused resentment among the people in Jiangling, and many people defected to the Red Lotus Sect because of this?"

Li Zhaoyi didn't expect the queen to know this, and she was really surprised, but the matter has come to this point, so she can only bite the bullet and deny it: "Your Majesty Mingjian, those unscrupulous people gathered a crowd to loot the food, and the scene was once out of control. In desperation, my father asked the government soldiers to strictly supervise them, but they not only ignored the law and discipline, but beat the government soldiers, and my father couldn't bear it before taking action to suppress it, which is really helpless!"

Hearing Li Zhaoyi's outrageous words, the empress sneered in her heart, but she sighed faintly on her face, and said helplessly; "The Leng Shizi has always been indifferent, and he doesn't buy into anyone's account. I said something bad, he didn't Beheading your father right there is already giving you face."

Hearing the empress's ruthless words, Li Zhaoyi's teeth itch with hatred, but now she has something to ask for, so she had to kneel down again and begged: "Even if Leng Shizi is an imperial envoy, he can't slander the minister so casually." Concubine's father, the emperor has a deep relationship with the empress and empress, please help me for the sake of the concubine's respect for you in normal times!"

"If you want to talk about the relationship with your father, Empress Zhaoyi is infinitely better than your mother. This point, just look at the title bestowed on Empress Zhaoyi by my father." Murong Jing was neither salty nor indifferent road.

Husband and wife, the love between husband and wife is deep, how can a little concubine get such a noble title, if it is not for the sake of the other party's usefulness, Murong Jing can't wait to take care of this obtrusive fox in front of the queen immediately.

Murong Jing didn't sound annoyed, but it made Li Zhaoyi's spine shudder for no reason, but what the other party said was the truth, if she kept making excuses, it would only make the queen more annoyed, so she gritted her teeth and kowtowed repeatedly: " The concubine does not understand the language, I only know that this word is very good, but I don't think about the meaning behind it, otherwise, even if I borrow a hundred courage from the concubine, I will definitely not dare to accept this title, and I ask the empress to forgive me!"

It's not that Li Zhaoyi is willing to act low in front of the queen, it's just that the only ones who can help her now are the queen mother and son, otherwise Concubine Xu Gui and Murong Li will definitely take advantage of the problem and make things get out of hand.

The queen didn't respond to Li Zhaoyi's words, until the kowtow's hair became loose and her forehead was a little red and swollen, then she said quietly: "What are you doing, younger sister, I want outsiders to see this, and think that the palace is blaming you. " After finishing speaking, he looked at Murong Jing again, and lightly reprimanded: "For such a big man, he still speaks so inappropriately, which made Li Zhaoyi misunderstand what Ben Gong meant."

Murong Jing naturally understood what the queen was thinking, and immediately got up and said: "I know my mistake."

"Since you know your mistake, hurry up and apologize to Li Zhaoyi." The queen said coldly again.

"Yes."

This time, before Murong Jing could speak, Li Zhaoyi hastily said: "Empress Empress, it was the concubine who made the mistake first, how can His Highness the Crown Prince confess to the concubine, this is absolutely impossible."

"A mistake is a mistake, Zhaoyi doesn't need to plead for him."

Hearing this, Li Zhaoyi inevitably became anxious again, raised her tear-stained cheeks, and said word by word: "Your Majesty said that, so it can be seen that she does not want to forgive my concubine. You will live in this world with no face!" After saying that, she got up and slammed into the pillars in the palace.

The queen's move was just to show off Li Zhaoyi, and she didn't really want anything to happen to her, so she was quickly stopped by the palace servants, and then she walked down from the phoenix seat herself, her voice full of worries after she was still in shock, "Zhaoyi It is a good thing to have backbone, but this kind of behavior is too reckless, if you have something wrong in Fengyi Palace, the emperor will definitely blame it, how will I let this palace deal with itself then?"

Hearing this, Li Zhaoyi became more and more sure that the queen would not abandon herself, so she knelt down again and said earnestly: "The concubine begs the mother to be the master of the family. From now on, the concubine will definitely use the order of the mother Follow the horse's head and look forward to it, without any second thoughts!"

The queen saw that the heat was about the same, so she accepted it as well, and she sighed quietly, a little helplessly said: "There are so many people in the palace, the only one who can say a few words to me is Zhaoyi. Naturally, I won't take it seriously, and ignore it when you see something happen, but this matter is very important, if it is not handled properly, it will directly affect the prestige of the imperial court in the hearts of the people, I can only do my best, and dare not give you any guarantee."

Although the queen did not give any promises, Li Zhaoyi was already overjoyed. She kowtowed deeply in gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness!"

"It's just a little effort, I can't thank you." The queen personally bowed to help Li Zhaoyi up, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she continued: "Maybe I can't help it, but there is one person who can, as long as she is willing to help you." Speak, although there is no guarantee that your father will be restored to his post, at least his life will be safe."

The words that the queen uttered out of nowhere were like life-saving straws for Li Zhaoyi. It made her feel refreshed, and she even grabbed the queen's sleeve regardless of her dignity, and said excitedly: "The person your empress said is Who, this concubine, go and ask her for help!"
