Chapter 99

Chapter 107
Xiao Shisanlang and Li Susu were overjoyed.

Cui Ying, the goddaughter of Princess Yuzhen, was more willing to help than Zhang Xuan.Since Cui Ying said so, there must be nothing wrong with Li Xiuxiu.

Li Susu got up and bowed to Cui Ying, her voice choked up, "Thank you Madam Susu, if my sister can get out of the sea of ​​suffering, Susu will never be able to repay Madam's great kindness!"

Xiao Shisanlang also stood up and clasped his fists in thanks, "My brother and sister are kind, Xiao Mouming is very grateful."

Cui Ying quickly stood up and helped Li Susu up, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be so ignorant. Sister Xiu'er is also a sister of the slave family. Our family does not speak of two different languages. If the sister-in-law is still so polite, the slave family will not follow..."

Li Susu saw that Cui Ying was respectful and affectionate, so she no longer pretended to be a gesture, and sighed quietly, "It is a blessing from the previous life for the sisters of the slave family to meet the son and wife. If Xiu'er gets out of this difficulty, let her Stay with Madam and be a servant girl to repay Madam's great kindness."

Cui Ying smiled wryly, took Li Susu's hand, and deliberately said angrily, "Where is the sister-in-law talking? If you say that again, the slave family will be angry!"

Zhang Xuan smiled brightly from the side, "Okay, Yinger, sister-in-law, you don't need to argue anymore. If you want to be polite, my brother's kindness to my life is more important than anything else... It's the same sentence, my brother won't take it." I am an outsider, and I will not treat my elder brother and sister-in-law as outsiders——elder brother, are you interested in drinking three cups with your brother?"

"Okay, a certain family has this intention."

……

……

An Lushan and An Sishun wrote a letter to support Rongwang Li Wan, which directly detonated the long-hidden anger of Emperor Li Longji.

In the imperial study room, the emperor's roar was "clang and passionate", and even broke a lot of valuable utensils, scaring all the eunuchs and maids.At this time, only Gao Lishi, a loyal servant, had the courage to stay by Li Longji's side.

For An Lushan, Li Longji in reality is far from being "stupid" and conniving as written in history books.It's just that when the emperor realized that Anlu Mountain posed a threat to the Tang Dynasty, Anlu Mountain had already grown, and he had no choice but to take Anlu Mountain slowly.

If there is no such storm of seizing the throne, according to Li Longji's original plan, he will first weaken the power of the Yang family, and then gradually cut down the vassal, mainly An Lushan.But in order not to arouse An Lushan's backlash, he couldn't just target An Lushan alone, but could only target all the feudal towns.

But now, An Lushan wrote the letter with ulterior motives.Li Longji didn't think that An Lushan would sincerely support Li Wan, and he only wanted greater benefits, and wanted to get greater benefits from the royal family.

But even though Li Longji was extremely angry and resentful towards An Lushan in his heart, he couldn't face An Lushan, so he could only scold Rong Wang Li Wan in front of Gao Lishi.

After all, Li Longji is still old. He is nearly seventy years old. In this era, he is actually considered old.Just sending out such a fire made the old emperor very tired.

Li Longji leaned on the Jindun weakly, his voice was hoarse and low, "Old things, go, go, go, go to Rongwangfu to pass on the mouth of the Rongwangfu -just say that he is very disappointed with him. Prince, even this prince, can't keep it!"

"Yes." Gao Lishi immediately accepted the order, turned around and left.

But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Li Longji again, "Forget it, old man, come back—since they want to make a fuss, let them do it. I just don't believe in this evil spirit—he thought that the next person Can An Lushan threaten me?"

"Send a message to Yang Guozhong, just say that I am unwell, and all the performances will be dealt with expediently by Yang Xiang, so there is no need to report to me."

Gao Lishi thumped in his heart, and smiled wryly in his heart: the emperor has lost his sense of proportion. This time, he seized power and then delegated it, suppressed it and supported it, which shows that the emperor himself has no confidence and no assertiveness... Hey, the emperor really It's old, and he no longer has the demeanor of the emperor who looked down on the world and controlled everything in the past.

"Yes, the old slave obeys the order."

Gao Lishi walked out of the imperial study slowly, and felt quite uncomfortable when he heard the emperor's low and lonely sigh behind him.

……

……

Yang Yuhuan returned to the palace after staying in Yuzhen Temple for two days, and Li Heng naturally returned with him.

Yang Yuhuan returned to the bedroom and rested for an hour. Hearing that the emperor was furious in the imperial study, he didn't go to pay his respects, but drove directly to Shangyang East Palace.

Shangyang East Palace is a cold palace. In the corner of the imperial city, the palace roads are dilapidated, and the palace walls are also quite damaged. It is deserted and deserted.

Yang Yuhuan was riding on the chariot, walking on the miserable palace road, and seeing the dilapidated palace garden full of weeds, he couldn't help but feel a little miserable.

Although Concubine Mei was thrown into the cold palace, it was of course directly related to her, but Yang Yuhuan was kind and gentle in nature. Now that she saw the scene of the cold palace with her own eyes, she felt somewhat guilty in her heart, wondering if she was too cruel back then.

Yang Yuhuan sighed softly, "Zhang Defu, seeing the defeat of Shangyang East Palace, I feel quite uncomfortable in my heart."

Zhang Defu smiled respectfully, "Your Majesty, the cold palace has been in disrepair for a long time—"

"Your Majesty, the gate of the palace has arrived, so I will go and report to you, so that Concubine Mei can come out to meet your Majesty."

Concubine Yang arrived in a car with a ceremonial guard, and Concubine Mei in the Shangyang East Palace had already received the news.Today's Shangyang East Palace, inside and outside, has actually been bought by Rong Wang Li Wan long ago. With Rong Wang's care and care, Concubine Mei has lived a pretty good life in Shangyang East Palace these few years.

Hearing that Yang Yuhuan was coming, Concubine Mei's face changed suddenly, she got up and stomped her feet bitterly, and said, "What is she doing here? Come to Leng Palace to see how the slave family is suffering? See if the slave family is lingering in Shangyang East Palace? "

Although Concubine Mei no longer has affection for the emperor, her hatred for being thrown into the cold palace by Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji back then has not diminished in the slightest.

Zhang Shi, an elderly court lady placed by King Rong in the East Palace of Shangyang, sighed softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, don't worry, as long as His Highness King Rong's great success is completed, your empress will have her future blessings in the future, and she will be beaten into the palace in the future." I don't know who the one in the cold palace is."

"Your Majesty, you have to bow your head under the eaves... Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Mei's expression changed for a while, then she reluctantly nodded and said, "Change clothes, go out with me to meet the imperial concubine!"

At this very moment, a eunuch's shrill voice came from the palace: "The imperial concubine is here, Concubine Mei will pick you up!"

……

……

Concubine Mei's eyes cast a hint of hatred, which did not surprise Yang Yuhuan.What surprised her was that the Concubine Mei in front of her was plump and graceful, and she was more beautiful and charming than before, not as haggard and obscure as she had imagined.

Concubine Yang looked deeply at Concubine Mei who was slightly bowing her head, thinking in her heart: It seems that the servants are not worried for nothing, they are doing well here...

Thinking of this, Yang Yuhuan suddenly remembered the shocking secret that Zhang Xuan revealed in the secret letter to her, and couldn't help but secretly sighed: It seems that what the little enemy said was not false... King Rong is really amazing Even though Concubine Mei was cast into the cold palace, she was still the emperor's concubine in name, and he dared to secretly hook up with Concubine Mei. Once exposed, it would be a catastrophe that would never be restored.

But Concubine Yang suddenly changed her mind and thought of the little friend's daring to tease her, as well as her own ambiguity towards the little friend, her face turned red.

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was just looking at her in rapt attention without saying a word, Concubine Mei lowered her head and cursed secretly, but on the surface she was respectful and fearful.

"Concubine Mei, I have a few private words that I would like to say to you alone—you guys, step back first." Yang Yuhuan swept over the dozen or so court ladies kneeling behind Concubine Mei, and waved her hands.

Mrs. Zhang and the others did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly stood up and retreated.Just before retreating, Mrs. Zhang secretly gave Concubine Mei a wink, implying that she would try her best to endure, and a little intolerance would lead to a messy plan, which ruined King Rong's plan.

After everyone retreated, Yang Yuhuan smiled softly, "Concubine Mei, it seems that you have lived well in Shangyang East Palace these years, which surprised me a little bit. A few days ago, I told His Majesty, If there is a chance, I will take you out of the cold palace, and we sisters will serve His Majesty together... Let us write off all the grievances and grievances that happened back then."

Concubine Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she almost subconsciously said, "Thank you, Concubine, for thinking about it. The concubine is living comfortably in Shangyangdong Palace, and she doesn't want to move..."

Yang Yuhuan smiled meaningfully after hearing Mei Fei's words.

"You still don't want to leave? Hehe! It doesn't matter if I'm thinking about you, but His Majesty has been thinking about you recently. Alright, I'll go back and tell His Majesty that tomorrow I will issue an edict to pardon you from Shangyangdong Palace and restore Concubine Mei's name."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yuhuan turned around and left, leaving Concubine Mei, whose complexion turned pale in an instant, standing there in a daze, and then numbly bowed and shouted after a while, "Farewell to the imperial concubine!"

Yang Yuhuan sighed softly in her heart: Concubine Mei, I have done my best to you and gave you a chance to start all over again.But if you still can't grasp it, and you still want to go to a dead end, then you can't blame me.

……

……

Regarding the disposal of Concubine Mei, Zhang Xuan gave Yang Yuhuan two options in the secret letter.

One: Concubine Mei hinted from the side that she already knew about the adulterous relationship between Concubine Mei and King Rong, thus forcing Concubine Mei to send a message to King Rong, leading the snake out of the hole, and letting King Rong continue to jump into the trap set by Zhang Xuan.This is the best policy.

The second: Let the emperor pardon Concubine Mei, restore Concubine Mei's name and arrange for the emperor to favor Concubine Mei... In such a curvilinear way, it also forced King Rong to take more risks.This is the worst policy.

Zhang Xuan knew that Yang Yuhuan was too soft-hearted, and she would definitely not be able to directly attack Concubine Mei, so she gave the above-mentioned "two strategies".The effect of the former will be immediate, while the latter will have a certain degree of uncertainty.If King Rong "bears the burden of humiliation" and is willing to abandon Concubine Mei, then half of this plan will be abolished.
