Chapter 26 Li
The lightning and thunder are splashing like a note.
Only lived two royal daughters, a woman who had fallen out of favor for a long time, and died two years ago. Although Changxin Palace is the residence of noble concubines of all dynasties and extremely close to Jique, it looks desolate and lonely because of the small number of people. Especially on such a rainy night at the end of autumn, the fallen leaves are thickly piled up and no one to take care of them. On the palace road, the heavy rain fell, and the sand was like a nibble, and the thick water mist quickly filled.
Electric light flashed one after another, and the autumn wind caught the autumn rain, rolled up the fallen leaves and flew all over the sky. Under the ghosts of the night, the timid palace people couldn't help but feel cold when they saw this.
Ashan was naturally bold. She stood quietly at the corner of the corridor and listened with breath. The wind swept through the porch, and the wind bells left by the old people still sounded crisply, blowing the cloak in Ashan's hand.
When Mu Bi arrived, her dress was half wet and her face turned green because of the cold.
Ashan put his hands and feet in a cloak for her and took out a silver pot from his arms, but there was still warm ginger tea in it. Mu Bi took two sips and then recovered. She nodded to her, didn't have time to explain it carefully, and said, "I just returned the umbrella. Let's go."
hurried back to Changjin Palace. Lin Jia personally greeted them at the agreed corner door and politely sent them back to the Chenglian Hall with an umbrella. The Chenglian Hall had already prepared ginger soup. First, they presented a cup for Mu Biwei and A Shan to drink, and then sent the big bucket into the bath room. A Shan drank Bijiang soup and said to Mu Biwei: "It's raining cold at the end of autumn. The girl went to bathe. Let's take a bath."
After bathing with Mu Biwei, he walked through the corridor with wooden cwoods and returned to the bedroom. A Shan had already paved the mattress. Seeing that the clothes and clothes came in with the lamp, he said, "Go down and have a rest."
The two knew that Ah Shan must have something to say to Mu Biwei, but they didn't insist, but said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Qingyi." Then he picked up the lamp and retreated.
Mu Biwei sat down in front of the dressing table, wiped her long wet hair with a veil, and looked at the purple electricity that was occasionally empty outside the window and said, "The thunder is not small today."
"The girl has also become so old. Princess Xiping has been raised for several years. Why don't you know how to cherish yourself?" Ah Shan came over and took the veil in her hand and complained, "I just bathed. It's time to dry the girl's hair and come back. It's always bad to walk through the corridor like this. It's always bad to be blown by the wind."
"I'm not Yutong. I'm in good body." Mu Bi squeezed her lips and smiled slightly. She looked in a very good mood now, but she had the leisure to act coquettishly to Ashan, "Ashan always talks like this. When did I ignore my body?"
Seeing this, A Shan paused in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, the maidservant won't talk about the girl... However, the girl knows that the maidservant has just been waiting in Changxin Palace, but what did she see?"
Before Mu Biwei took back her mind from Qingchixuan, she casually said, "But what does the Shen family have? The Empress Dowager's birthday is near the left, and I won't do it anymore. After the Empress Dowager's 50th birthday, it's not too late to take care of her!"
"Where is Shen?" Ah Shan smiled faintly and said in a strange tone, "I'm afraid that Shen will not get up because it will be taken care of by Jiao Shifu, which makes the imperial doctor procrastinate. It's good to get up on the Empress Dowager's birthday... But the maidservant saw Li Shifu!"
"Li Shifu?" Mu Bi thought for a moment and frowned, "The one in Yan Ni Palace?"
Originally, there was only one Li Shifu in the palace, that is the Li family of Yanni Palace. More than two years ago, Mu Biwei entered the palace. At that time, Fan Shifu, who was out of favor, had not yet passed away, but fell ill in the Yongyan Hall of Changxin Palace. Zuo Zhaoyi went to visit several times, which made Mu Biwei curious, so she made Ah Shan quietly inquire and happened to meet her. Li took several people to fall into the well, but heard the origin of Fan Shi's wife, but he didn't hear why Zuo Zhaoyi took special care of Fan.
Therefore, when Li Shifu was mentioned, Mu Biwei naturally knew who she was, but last year, another royal daughter in the palace was casually promoted by Ji Shen, that is, Li Shifu in Yuntai Palace.
A Shan nodded: "Of course it's the Li family of Yanni Palace."
"It's strange. Fan Shifu has been there for two years. I'm afraid the Yongyan Hall where she lives has been vacant long ago, right? What else does Li want to do in the past now? Mu Biwei Weiqidao.
"The maidservant doesn't seem to continue to embarras the woman, but seems to worship with a paper money incense burner." A Shanruo said thoughtfully, "I forgot that today seems to be the day of Fan Shifu's sacrifice?"
Mu Biwei thought carefully: "I don't remember much, but it seems that Fan did go around the Empress Dowager's birthday. At that time, we were busy moving the palace and taking care of Yutong. Fan has fallen out of favor. That's all. How can I remember it clearly?"
She said again, "Is it possible that before Fan went, Li went to embarrass her again and again? She didn't want Fan to die, and Li became guilty?"
Ashan muttered: "The maidservant will listen to Li's embarras Fan's embarrassment outside the Yongyan Hall, as if this person is very mean and does not seem to repent because of Fan's death. The maidservant is thinking about whether something happened to the Yanni Palace, or someone made Li quietly around Fan's sacrifice. "Go to Changxin Palace to worship?"
Li's family has been spoiled in the past two years, and gradually it is not as plain and lonely as before. Mu Biwei has occasionally seen that Li family twice. Maybe it was influenced by Cui Lierong, the head of Yanni Palace, who guarded the greenhouse hall without leaving home. Although Li Shi was spoiled, he also looked lukewarm in front of him, and No one else is very close.
Although Mu Biwei paid attention to her, Li's favor and family background were far away from threatening her. Mu Biwei's attention naturally focused on You Zhaoyi, Sun and Guangxun He. Hearing Ah Shan's judgment, she frowned and asked, "You mean... Zuo Zhaoyi?"
Originally, Mu Biwei had a good impression of Zuo Zhaoyi and Qu, but at the beginning, Qu proposed to her about raising Princess Xiping, which made her a little suspicious. At that time, Mu Biwei felt that Ji Shen could not have only two princesses. After all, there would be other children. As Qu, was she afraid that she could not adopt a child? Unexpectedly, there have been one after another small births in the palace in the past two years, and Princess Xintai has no children to live to give birth.
In this case, Mu Biwei was naturally worried that Qu and herself would rob Princess Xiping. Now when she heard that the matter might be related to Qu, she immediately became cautious.
Ashan said, "I can't say, but the girl knows that the main position of Yanni Palace is Cui Lierong. After entering the palace, she has never heard of being favored. It has been almost three years since the girl entered the palace and has not seen Lierong's people. Although this, the Empress Dowager has not ignored Lierong. Lierong has been silent in the palace. Silently, however, even You Zhaoyi will not bully Lie Rong when she is idle. I think that although the Li family can be ranked in front of your majesty now, it is just that. Right Zhaoyi will not cross the girl and Shen Shite to deal with her, and the empress dowager will not suppress her, so if anyone forces her I have to sacrifice Fan's family. I'm afraid... Zuo Zhaoyi visited frequently when Fan's family was bad.
After listening to Ashan's reminder, Mu Bi frowned slightly and said, "Although the governor of Jinan County is also a major official, it can't be put into Zuo Zhaoyi's eyes. What on earth is this?"
he added, "It's right to think that you funded the Lu family. At the beginning, the two of them were under the constered by your majesty at about the same time, and they were promoted to the throne at about the same time. I think that Fan's family may have been working with the Lu family after there was no palace. Maybe the Lu family knew something."
"I'm afraid Lu may not know that even Zuo Zhaoyi is involved in the big event." Ashan felt that the matter was not so simple. She said, "It's just that I always feel very strange in my heart about this matter, and a pair of red gold ingots are not worth anything. If Lu doesn't know, I will do good deeds as a maidservant."
"That's your red gold, and you gave it to me. If I didn't ask anything, would I blame you?" Mu Bi was slightly angrunt to her and reached out to touch her long hair, but she had been strangled by Ashan with a veil little by little, and said, "Ok."
Ashan put the veil aside, took out a porcelain box, and uncovered it. Li. The fragrance of flowers floated out, took a handful of jade comb from the dressing table, carefully applied the cream in the box to Mu Biwei's long hair, combed it finely with the jade comb, combed it a few times, and then asked, "How is Nie She now?"
When Mu Biwei heard Nie Yuansheng, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up and felt that it was too revealing. He quickly restrained his look and said lightly, "He is fine."
It's just that Ashan accompanied her out of the palace and came back. How could she not know how long she had stayed in Qingchixuan? But he refused to be sent away like this and said cautiously, "The girl is nowxuan hui."
Mu Biwei could naturally hear the meaning of her words. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I know."
"Nie She people saved a girl's life in those years. It's not unreasonable for the girl to be close to them, but..." Ah Shan thought about it and said, "Now the girl's status is not as close as before. Changjin Palace is no matter how close to the Jique Palace, and it is always in the harem. Although Nie She's access to the palace is authorized by His Majesty, it is also recorded. , if it is detected..."
Mu Biwei said disapprovingly, "I went to Qingchixuan, not him coming to Changjin Palace. Besides, even if he comes, will he go through the main gate of the palace?"
"But a girl, she is such a woman!" Ah Shan couldn't help saying, "It's inevitable to fight in the backyard, but it's extremely inappropriate to have such a private meeting with foreign men!"
Mu Bi's face quickly sank, and Ah Shan was shocked, but he still looked at her stubbornly.
"Women's virtue?" Mu Biwei opened her hand to comb her hair, suddenly turned her head and said with a sneer, "Is that stupid king now worthy of me to treat him with women's virtue? If he hadn't been faint and lustful and listened to He's words, I would have been married as my mother-in-law. How can I be so bright today, but I still don't have a biological comfort under my knees!"
Ashan said, "But Princess Xiping..."
"No matter how good Yutong is, it is not my own! Ah Shan, you have your own parents and children, don't you know the difference between your own child and your adopted daughter?" Mu Bi lowered her voice slightly and said harshly, "If it hadn't been for the sake of drinking the shelter soup in the first few months when I entered the palace and hurt my body, if I had seriously passed through the door as a bride, how could I have spoiled her but I still had nothing to do!" Her voice was lower, but with endless sadness and anger. "After the birth of He's minor birth, I have been thinking, is the avoidance soup really just hurting the body? Will it be as easy for me to get pregnant, but I will lose my body when I am pregnant? Or I have suffered a lot of losses, such as He..."
"How can a girl think so?" A Shan couldn't help saying, "He's misfortune is obviously in the hands of others. Besides, the girl has always been healthy, and even if there is a loss, she can always be recuperated..."
Mu Biwei sneered and said, "How powerful is He's plan for the city government? At the beginning, the Empress Dowager, Nie Yuansheng, me, and even Sun may not have fallen into her hands! Since she is pregnant and a male child, how can she be gone in less than six months? It must be known that although there are seven lives and eight things in the world, in fact, if it is nourished in the middle, at least six months can be born for a lifetime. How can I hate He after the Empress Dowager? There is an example of Jiang, and He's one is a confirmed male fetus! The Empress Dowager won't do it. On Sun's side, she has only a daughter of Princess Xintai, which may not be moved. We wanted to do it but didn't find an opportunity... How on earth did you say that child fall? Is it really because of those two royal daughters?
"Once the palace gate enters, there will be no turning back in this life." Mu Biwei closed her eyes tiredly and said, "Do you want me to focus on guarding Ji Shen's greedy and old-fashioned master, and at most tamper with Sun's He's family? Looking back, we are all old and pale, or newcomers are rejected when they enter the palace. Relying on the official position of father and brother, can't we learn from Cui Lierong? I may not have been seriously out of the cabinet, and my descendants are blessed, but because the faint king listened to He's slanders and sank from then on, what is he is, and why do you ask me to keep the so-called women's morality for him?!"
Ashan lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.
"If you are afraid, I will find an excuse to send you out of the palace later." Mu Bi opened her eyes slightly, glanced at her coldly, and said in a low voice, "After all, you have taken care of the eldest brother and me. Even if you go to tell the secret that I have been with Nie Yuansheng for the past two years, I don't blame you!"
"What did the girl say!" Ah Shan heard this, but suddenly raised his head and shouted harshly, "How can I hurt the girl!"
Although Suxiu Suge was sent away, the palace man who served Princess Xiping was also shocked. Hearing the sound, it was not real. When something happened to Mu Biwei, he heard a palace man hurried over and asked, "Empress?"
"It's okay, you can go down." Mu Bi calmly and said in a loud voice. When the palace man was dismissed, she whispered, "It's me who said something wrong. Don't blame me."
Ashan's face turned white and red, and sighed: "I know that the girl is unwilling and angry, and I am also confused... It's just that my wife taught the girl on her deathbed..."
In the vast autumn rain night, the lights were quiet, and the masters and servants were facing each other. They thought of the Min family. Mu Bi was slightly stunned for a long time and said with a wry smile: "If your mother has always been alive..."
"As long as the girl is doing well." Although Ashan didn't like Mu Biwei's betrayal of Ji Shen, compared with the girl who grew up, she still made a decision and said sadly, "It's the maidservant who talks too much. I haven't asked anything about the maidservant tonight."
