Chapter 138 Rolling Curtain 1
Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, I began to get fetal medicine from Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau. Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau originally recorded them one by one, but I was afraid of being noticed by Li Shimin, so I found Song Yi and privately tore off all the records on the medicine list about Deqing Palace. I didn't want to be picked up by Weinizi and Zhou Cairen, so I wrote about the matter and finally exposed the secret to Li Shimin. He only wanted me to add another prince a few days ago, but now he knows that I take medicine by myself. At this moment, his heart is cold and completely bursting out.
And I am not at this time. When I drink that bowl of fetal medicine, who knows the pain in my heart? When I think of Li Shimin's intimate care and expectation, who can solve the knot in my heart? Power is a ruthless sword. I personally experienced the secret struggle between brothers and witnessed the death of brothers. That era has passed, and now, as long as Li You does not compete with his brother, he will put out of power to ensure his peace and freedom. I don't want to give him another close brother, because the love can't always be equal. I still remember what Li Kuan said to me angrily before his death.
Later, Li Shimin privately ordered someone to inform Empress Changsun, Yan Jingwen, Weinizi and Zhou Cairen that the reason for this matter was clear and that Concubine De was innocent. This must not be mentioned again, otherwise the person who promotes the matter will never be spared. He protects me like this, and my heart is warm but trembling. His favor is so supreme and so aggressive. High and unreachable, the fragrance of resentment has always poisoned every woman in the Tang Dynasty harem, including me.
Weinizi's false accusation that I took medicine for Yan Jingwen was finally put down by Li Shimin, which aroused thousands of thoughts. I thought about it for three days and nights, and finally came up with a clue. When I came to Bixiao Hall and saw Yan Jingwen smiling face to face, my heart suddenly felt a wave. This palace can make those who were once impulsive become more and more impulsive, and it can also make those who were once unruly become calm and mature. Muyan's nature was still impulsive, and Yan Jingwen became relatively calm. At this time, I looked at her and couldn't speak for a long time. There were two voices entangled in my mind.
She stepped out of the hall and asked me to enter the hall without saying a word. I smiled and stepped up, but my heart was beating. She took me to sit on the cushion together. Seeing that I was not in a good mood, she comforted me: "Don't care about what happened that day. I don't believe that you will treat me well at all."
Yan Jingwen held my hand and could see the incomparable sincerity in her eyes. I closed her palm with a smile and patted her, "Jingwen, no matter what happens in the future, believe me. You and Muyan are my good sisters, and I won't hurt you."
Yan Jingwen smiled gently and clapped my hand and said, "I know that those unknown things are stirred by someone behind their backs. They are jealous of the emperor's love for you."
There was a little bitterness in my heart. I was stunned for a long time and finally told him, "Don't mention these sad things and don't pay attention to the boring person. You just need to remember my words."
Jingwen and Yaner, be sure to remember my words, in the future... lest I be sad.
Three days later, I walked around the Deqing Palace alone and couldn't find what I wanted after going back and forth for half a day. Finally, I called Qing'er and said to her, "The brocade given to me by the emperor is gone. You told the palace people to go down and look for it in each palace, and then said... Just say that I accidentally dropped the jade book when I visited the palace, and now I send someone to look for it.
Qing'er stopped talking, but finally nodded: "I obey."
Half a day later, a maid hurried into the hall from the outside, knelt on the ground and gasped and said, "Mother, the brocade has been found. In... on the halls of Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan.
I patted the table and frowned coldly, "Be presumptuous! How can Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan think about this palace and then check it again!"
The maid of honor quickly kowtowed her head and said unjustly, "Mother, I dare not lie to you. This matter is true, and the people who searched the palace have seen it.
I lowered my eyebrows and meditated. Qing'er lowered her waist and whispered to me, and the tone could still sound faintly in the hall: "Mother, you must be careful. Excuse me, there are too many sisters to become enemies in this palace. Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan may have changed their minds because of your true feelings for them.
I sighed: "Well, take me to have a look."
When I arrived at Yan Jingwen's Bixiao Hall, Mu Yan also stood there with brocade in her arms. I came forward angrily and stared at the two people back and forth, and my eyes fell on the brocade held by Mu Yan. Muyan raised the brocade from her arms and asked, "Sister, these brocades were obviously given to us by someone. Why do you want to..."
"Nonsense, I have never sent anyone to send brocades. These brocades were given by the emperor, and how could I give them to others!" I interrupted her, and the sound of scolding echoed throughout the hall. The palace man immediately knelt on the ground and dared not raise his head. I grabbed the brocade from the surprised Muyan and put it on the desk behind me, frowned and looked at the two panicked people.
Muyan looked at me at this time and was a little excited: "Sister, you can't veto everything in one sentence. Yan Zhaoyi and I can testify that it was sent by you.
I glared at the two and said slowly, "I lost the brocade, and the palace people found the brocade in your hall. Deqing Hall and the people who searched the palace can testify for this palace.
The two looked slightly pale, their lips trembled, and they couldn't speak. I sneered and laughed at myself: "I never thought that my trust in you made you so bold. If you think you are sisters of my palace, will I dare not do anything to you? I grabbed the brocade with two hands and only heard a harsh "bang" and a few shining silver wires. I held half of it in my hand and threw it on the ground fiercely. "From now on, Deqing Hall and Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan have nothing to do with me!"
The two were stunned and looked at me in a daze. I calmly met their eyes, and my throat was cold. Muyan couldn't believe it and cried a little: "It's just a few brocades. We'll have you. Why do you have to be so decisive?"
Yan Jingwen stopped Mu Yan, who was excited, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and gritted her teeth and said, "The Empress Defei is deeply righteous. You and I both know this! Mu Zhaoyuan, maybe we accidentally took the mother's brocade by mistake!"
My heart trembled and I looked deeply at Yan Jingwen. At this time, the voice of the eunuch sounded outside: "The loss of the brocade of the imperial concubine has disturbed the palaces. The empress specially invited Concubine De, Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan to set up the government palace!"
Mu Yan and Yan Jingwen were both stunned and turned their eyes to me. I said coldly and a little helplessly: "I don't want to be shocked by the Empress, even if I want to forgive you." Mu Yan stared at me closely, squeezed a trace of hatred from her eyes, pulled up Yan Jingwen and went straight out of the palace. I looked at their backs, which was complicated and my heart couldn't help trembling.
When she arrived at the Legislative Palace, Empress Changsun ordered Yan Jingwen and Mu Yan to wait outside the hall and only allowed me to go first. When she saw me, she asked directly, "Femperie De, you destroyed the brocade given by the emperor, which is disrespectful to the emperor. How should I punish you?"
Lowing my eyes, I said, "I would like to ask the Empress to be punished."
Queen Changsun rubbed the corners of her eyes and frowned and said, "How dare I surrender?" What the emperor sent you is yours. You can do whatever you want, but you have to think about the consequences before moving in the future, otherwise it is not as easy to say today. Just punish you for a month's salary!"
I was relieved, not because I only punished that month's salary. I answered her, "I am guilty."
Empress Changsun seemed to ask intentionally and said to me, "As for Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan, they also deducted a month's salary and punished them for kneeling in the political palace. How about it?"
There was a pause in my throat, and I finally said, "It's all up to the Queen."
Empress Changsun responded and waved her hand to make me retreat. When I went out of the government palace, I saw a few palace people and several concubines standing outside the hall. The eunuchs were announcing a punishment order to Yan Jingwen and Mu Yan. I avoided their eyes and left the eyes of the crowd coldly.
Returning to Deqing Palace, I finally sighed and lay on the couch, with my eyes open for a long time. I don't know how long it took when Qing'er came back from outside the hall and saw that I was so worried. She came forward and asked, "The Empress did not care about the consequences and destroyed the brocade given by the emperor to show her feelings, and deliberately provoked the queen to know... Does the Empress have to do so?"
"No, how can they believe it?" I paused and asked for a moment, "How's the situation outside?"
Qing'er was slightly stunned and should say, "It is rumored that the Empress broke up with the sisters Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan because of the royal gift of the brocade, saying that the Empress... Empress..."
I said, "But it doesn't matter."
Qing'er lowered her head and said softly, "After saying that the Empress's stool is the position of the German concubine and enjoys the holy pet alone, she is arrogant and no longer looks down on others, and even... she doesn't even care about the Empress."
Li Shimin's love for me, even the Empress Changsun is impatient with me. His love is both an antidote and a poison. He can be happy and painful. I dominate alone, that is, to put all the poison and pain on myself, and use my fragile chest to block the arrows of the harem. I am lucky to live, but unfortunately it hurts.
I answered lazily, "Let them talk about it."
Qing'er asked, "What if it reaches the emperor's ears?"
I was a little tired and took a deep breath: "I have my own way."
Suddenly, a maid of honor quickly came in outside the hall and hurriedly saluted: "Mother, I have something to report!"
I closed my eyes and said, "Ter."
The maid replied, "Just now, when Yan Zhaoyi and Mu Zhaoyuan knelt down in the palace, Yan Zhaoyi suddenly fainted. Tian Shi's doctor said that Yan Zhaoyi was pregnant, and I don't know if she can protect herself!"
"What!" I was startled and was a little uncertain. Qinger quickly stopped by the side. I squeezed my forehead and said fiercely, "Go to explore again, go again!"
