Chapter 18 Killing has appeared

"I am a maidservant, I should not listen to the emperor's waywardness and go to the appendix palace with the emperor. I originally wanted to stop the emperor, but I couldn't stop it!" Shuang'er didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of Empress Dowager Li, and answered truthfully.

"The emperor's son was spoiled by the mourning family before, and he followed your concubine Ying and the bad boy Zhuo Ruitong, and contracted some bad problems that he did not have, so he secretly carried the mourning family to the Anzhi Palace. As early as the expectation of the mourning family, you, a small palace man, want to stop the emperor, naturally can't stop it. I won't blame you for this.

"Well... I don't know where else I made a mistake. Please make it clear to the empress dowager!"

Empress Dowager Li smiled again, "It's not that you made a mistake, but that the family gave you a chance. Shouldn't you thank the family?"

"Opportunity?" Shuang'er was confused and said, "I don't understand what the Empress Dowager means..."

"Alas, the distant niece of the Ai family also made the Ai family worry a lot. I expected her to help the Ai family. First, it was to shine our Li family lintens for the Ai family. Second, it was to help the emperor in charge the harem and add branches to the blood of our royal family. Unexpectedly, she was not competitive at all. She could not win the emperor's heart, not to mention most of it. Over the years, I have forced the emperor to sleep with her every day. However, look at her belly, there is no movement at all. The mourning family is anxious. Although the emperor is still young, the issue of children has always been a royal event, and it coincides with the eventful autumn. The family has to think more for the emperor, don't you think?"

"But what does it have to do with the slave being blamed?" Shuang'er's heart moved and vaguely felt that the Empress Dowager Li would have any important decision, but she still pretended to be ignorant and asked.

The Empress Dowager Li has always disliked people who are too smart. Concubine Li is an excellent example. In Shuang'er's opinion, the usurpation is just an excuse. The Empress Dowager Li and the Changsun family have been complaining for a long time. In addition, after Concubine Li entered the palace, she often raised some political opinions to the emperor. Being known by the Empress Dowager Li, she will undoubtedly regard Huanying as as ambitious as herself. The woman, what's more, has affected the mother-and-child relationship between the emperor and her, so she is even more worried about the existence of Huanying. She almost wants to pull out the thorn in her eyes and then quickly. Shuang'er knows very well that if there is no letter from King Wu and Changsunyi, her master will have an accident sooner or later, and she is just taking advantage of the opportunity to live in another place.

The Empress Dowager Li leaned against the back of the chair, turned her head and looked around the narrow bedroom of Shuang'er, and then turned her eyes back to Shuang'er. "I know that although you have followed the concubine since you were a child, you don't want to always be inferior slaves in your heart. The water flows to the lower place and people go higher places. If you want to eat and wear, you don't worry about glory. The rich and noble life is human. The mourning family can promise you that as long as you obediently listen to the arrangement of the mourning family, the imperial concubine could not give it to you before, and theai family will definitely let you get it!"

When Shuang'er heard this, her eyes gradually turned red. "Returning to the words of the empress dowager, the maidservant is not a person who is greedy for glory and wealth, and she really doesn't want to go against the Lord. Now she has to be pitied by the Empress Dowager and placed the maidservant around the emperor to serve. The maidservant is already grateful. How dare to think about it?"

"Oh, what is it? The world is unpredictable. When I entered the palace, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I became the empress dowager, but what about now? People, Ai's family has said before that who doesn't want to live a good life, but whether they can live or not depends on how you fight for it..." The smile of Empress Dowager Li flashed a cold color, as if she was too lazy to talk more nonsense with Shuanger.

Shuang'er's heart trembled secretly and quickly said, "My maidservant, everything is arranged by the Empress Dowager!"

"That's right!" The Empress Dowager Li straightened her face and said, "You know, for the sake of your concubine, the emperor is still in a bad relationship with the Ai family. Although he did not show too fierce words and deeds on his face, the family knows that the emperor's heart is completely locked in the family."

"What can the maidservant do for the empress dowager?"

"Don't blame the mourning family. Today's board is just a beginning. Maybe there will be more places to embarrass you in the future, but the mourning family is helping you. Out of the rejection of the mourning family, the emperor must stay away from the people the mourning family likes, and the mourning family hates and even punishes people, he will approach you, especially because For your Missing of Princess Xuan, he will regard you as a Princess Xuan and transfer his unfinished care to you. Every time you suffer more, the emperor's desire for care will be stronger. Do you think the analysis of the mourning family is right, Shuang'er?

"As long as the emperor can get out of the shadow of the past, as long as the empress dowager can always feel at ease, I am willing to eat more plates, but if the maiden is really lucky enough to be pitied by the emperor, what does the empress dowager hope I can do?" Shuang'er asked while thinking about the words of the Empress Dowager Li.

"It's very simple. Let the emperor understand the painstaking efforts of the Ai family to him. You should know that the Ai family's health has been getting worse and worse recently. How long can he take care of the emperor? The Ai family doesn't know. As long as he can survive the current predicament, the country will be his. Can't he take a long-term view? Even his uncle, although he controlled all the garritorial camps in the capital, he also worked for him!" The Empress Dowager Li sighed, "Shuanger, if you can persuade the emperor to make some progress, work with the mourning family to maintain the foundation inherited by the previous emperor, and then add some incense to our royal family, then think about it, will the future glory and wealth be within the reach of all the harem fans?"

Shuang'er half stood up and thanked with tears, "I thank the empress dowager for the kindness of the re-creation. From now on, I am willing to serve the empress dowager as my mother, serve the empress dowager and the emperor, and do not hesitate to do it!"

The Empress Dowager Li smiled with satisfaction and said, "Haha, I know that you are a reasonable child. Don't worry, I can't hurt you. How can I give up your heart and brain? Then let's make a deal?"

Shuang'er nodded repeatedly.

"Well, then you can have a rest. My family is also tired. Jiaolan, let's go back to the palace!" The Empress Dowager Li stood up and told Shuang'er, "Don't forget to take the medicine. If you get a scar or something, it's not good!"

"Yes, the maidservant wrote it down. The Empress Dowager walked slowly. I'm sorry that I can't see you off!" Shuang'er saw the Empress Dowager Li put on her hat again, covered most of her face, and left the room with the help of Jiaolan. When the door was closed by Jiaolan, a strange smile appeared on Shuang'er's face, "I'll let you get what you want, Empress Dowager!"

Taking advantage of the night, the Empress Dowager Li and Jiaolan, like two ghosts, walked through the corridor of the Pearl Palace and went out of the corridor, which was a pontoon bridge. When the Empress Dowager Li walked to the middle of the pontoon bridge, she couldn't help stopping at the bridge railing. Her eyes were looking at the moon, and the lotus flower in the canal under the bridge had already withered, only withered. The remnant lotus lotus appeared a dark shadow in the moonlight. The breeze brushed by. The Empress Dowager Li sighed deeply and said, "Jiaolan, do you think a little bitch like Shuanger can trust her?"

Jiaolan looked at the Empress Dowager Li. The cover of the hat made her unable to see what kind of expression Empress Dowager Li was. However, with her feelings and years of experience, Jiaolan was really frustrated that she could guess the Empress Dowager's mood.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, let's just use her. With the Empress Dowager's strategy, isn't it like pinching an ant to kill her?"

Empress Dowager Li was silent and said for a long time, "I'm afraid that once she gets on the emperor, she will bite us. Thinking about how we learned the secrets of the Changsun family, I can't imagine how we learned the secrets of the Changsun family. In terms of meanness and forbearance, Shuang'er is much better than her master. Now it's better to solve it before she has gained power. This troublesome opportunity, but..."

"Yes, the emperor doesn't know the inside story. He only cares about quarreling with the empress dowager. How can he know that the empress dowager is exhausted for him? Now that the concubine is no longer there, he can only leave Shuang'er to ease the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager. The empress dowager is really well-in-intentioned!"

"Well, if Xiaoci is still there, I would rather send Xiaoci to the emperor, alas!" The Empress Dowager Li turned around and stared at Jiaolan and said, "Is there any result of calling Lou Xun to check the whereabouts of Xiaoci?"

"Not yet!" Jiaolan shook her head helplessly and said, "I only know that Xiaoci went to the direction of the mass grave in the suburbs of Beijing after leaving the palace, and then lost his trace!"

"What the hell is going on?" The Empress Dowager Li looked at the hazy curved moon in the sky again and said, "Now the capital is in such a mess, has Xiaoci been robbed? Tied up? Or is it dead? Tell Lou Xun that he wants to see people when he dies. If he doesn't find Xiaoci's news, he won't come to see his family!"

"Yes!" Jiao Lan thought for a moment and said, "But Lou Xun is still very useful to us now. If we really can't find out the whereabouts of Xiaoci, the Empress Dowager won't really miss him, will she?"

"That's what the pity family said. Frankly, Lou Xun is just a villain who forgets his interests. If he doesn't choke his neck, he will definitely bite us back. For the villain, he must not be tolerated, understand?"

"I understand, empress dowager, it's getting late. Let's go back. You haven't drunk the medicine tonight!" Jiaolan went up and stretched out her hand to help the Empress Dowager Li. "If today's political burden falls on the empress dowager, the empress dowager should take care of herself!"

"Bear care?" The Empress Dowager Li did not move, but smiled bitterly said, "At the beginning, the mourning family and the former emperor had also visited the canal countless times in the moon night to enjoy the lotus. At that time, the beautiful scenery of the moon was at the top of the moon. The mourning family and the former emperor whispered hand in hand. What a wonderful time, it was all gone with the funeral of the former emperor. Now the Ai family is alone to support the affairs of the affairs. It seems that the remnants of this canal can withstand how many winds and rains? Sometimes I think that it's better to follow the previous emperor and never pay attention to the disputes in the world.

Jiaolan was shocked, "Empress dowager, don't think nonsense. Without your support, I don't know what will happen that day. For the sake of the emperor and the foundation of the late emperor, you must not fall down!"

"The mourning family is unwilling. Why can't the mourning family be the empress dowager? Why can't the Yuancan emperor of the mourning family be the emperor? Those courtiers sals mourn the empress dowager on the surface. In private, there are few who do not slander the mourning family, let alone the king of Wu and the king of Wei. How can they pay attention to the mourning family, Jiaolan, the mourning family? My heart is in great pain!" The Empress Dowager Li fell to her feet, and the more she said it, the more difficult it was to calm down.

"I understand, I understand!" Jiaolan held the Empress Dowager Li harder, and was deeply afraid that the other party would accidentally fall down and dry up. "Empress Do you often say that the soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth? Even if those courtiers don't help the Empress Dowager, don't we still have Marquis Li? In addition, the king of Wu's long-range attack, he can't take advantage of it for a while, and the two sides have been deadlocked for a long time. The rebels are bound to break people's hearts, which is a good opportunity for us to fight back. The Empress Dowager really doesn't have to be too anxious. I believe that we will survive the current predicament sooner or later.

When the Empress Dowager Li heard the words, she sighed again, patted Jiaolan and took her hand. She looked back at Jiaolan and said, "Well, fortunately, there are still Li Hou and you, Jiaolan, and the Ai family has been treating you well. Are you willing to grant a request?"

Jiaolan was shocked and couldn't help but let go of the Empress Dowager and knelt down. "What does the Empress Dowager have anything to do? Just tell the maidservant. Why do you want to ask?"

The Empress Dowager Li waved her hand, motioned Jiaolan to get up, and then approached Jiaolan and whispered, "The Ai family wants you to agree. In case the family can't stand it, you must get rid of Shuanger for the family. Can you do it?"
