"Is he only allowed to get out of trouble by hurting my sincerity? I am a human being, not a lamb to be slaughtered." Even if she was angry, she did not slander her beauty, just like a flower blooming in the snow with frost.

flower.

"In the same way, I will give it to you in return for Emperor Yongde." Yan Yao did not show any more sympathy because of her anger, and there was no sympathetic response in her voice. "If you like him, he will like you."

? Even without Empress Li, he can't give his heart to you, do you understand?"

"On the day I entered the palace, I had no way out." Li Lu's face was filled with the embarrassment of being poked at the center of things. She hated the indifference that had nothing to do with her. The knife was not scratched on her body. She could understand the pain.

?

"When the courtiers helped Emperor Yongde to that position, there was no way out." Yan Jue played with the warm incense burner in front of her and asked lightly, "Now you want to tell me, is this what he should have suffered as a royal child?"

"Isn't it?" Li Lu smiled sadly.

Yan Ju held her hand on the little girl and moved closer to her, and asked meaningfully: "Then who deprived him of his original path?"

Li Lu didn't understand the meaning of her words, and stared blankly back at the relaxed woman in front of her, hearing her say even more terrifying words.

"The prince passed away, and not long after, the emperor and the empress also died of illness. Don't you think it's such a coincidence?" Seeing Li Lu's disbelieving eyes, Yan Juan couldn't help but smile, "So the empress didn't know about it at all?"

"What you mean in your words is that you are talking about the grave crime of rebellion." Li Lu's eyes were full of accusations, and she straightened up and stared.

"Yes! It was treason, so the empress knew how kind-hearted the Holy One was. He did not investigate the cause of the prince's death, nor did he explore the cause of the emperor's death. But was that something he was willing not to investigate?" Yan Jue ignored the accusation.

His eyes suddenly chuckled, "That's because the family deceived his mother's family into having no one left behind. The pure Li family never interacted with the court officials. They were willing to be the emperor's disciples, but they didn't enter the court.

Shi, isn’t this what the nobles want?”

Li Lu felt chills running down her spine. She couldn't imagine the reason why Emperor Yongde ascended the throne. There was a shocking conspiracy behind it...

"Are you afraid?" Yan Juan slid her slender fingers over the edge of the table, dipped some tea soup from the cold tea cup on the table, and wrote a few words on the small table.

Haiyantang

Li Lu's heart grew colder when she saw it. It was the place where courtiers usually gathered for banquets and drinks. It had excellent privacy, and the attendants were notoriously tight-lipped. Who in the capital didn't know that it was

Mother's dowry?

And she blindly believed that the Li family would be her best backing. The calm and cold woman in front of her would never do anything meaningless. Could it be that the Hou family was really planning something that she didn't know about?

The words Li Huanzhi said to her suddenly came into her mind at this moment...

"When Shu'er ascends the throne, you will be the most noble person in the harem."

"Low-key, the most indispensable thing in the harem is a arrogant and stupid woman."

"I have everything outside the palace. I can educate Shu'er with peace of mind and wait for the day when he ascends to the throne."

"Look for an opportunity to send a message to Concubine Yue that Brother Li Cheng has gone to Guiwu Mountain."

"Emperor Gongshun is interested in the legitimate daughter of Jing'an Bo Mansion and will give Concubine Yue a chance."

"There is no Concubine Yue, but there is still a Concubine Xian. Let me send him a message."

"The fewer women in the harem, the better for you."

"Don't be afraid, Concubine De Gui cannot make any trouble without the support of her mother's family."

Inside the palace wall, she had no idea of ​​any collusion between the Marquis Mansion and the aristocratic family in the capital. Looking at the sneering woman in front of her, her heart felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

It turns out that all the planning started before Emperor Yongde ascended the throne. Only she foolishly thought that she was marrying the one she loved. Even if she was not the queen, she stayed in his harem happily.

Who would have thought that everything would have such a ridiculous result...

I always thought that Li Ze coming to find her would change his helpless passivity, but it turned out to be just a joke, a joke that Li Ze was afraid of being exposed...

Her stubborn eyes were finally stained with helplessness, and the tears of being deceived remained in her eyes for a long time. They were her last dignity and face, and she did not want to admit that she had been deceived by her family for more than 20 years.

"When did you know about Li Ze?" Li Lu swallowed hard.

"What would you think if I said that he knew it as soon as he left Zhiyun Island?" Yan Jue did not respond to her with a victor's attitude, but only felt that she was a poor family victim.

Li Lu smiled sadly. Li Ze thought that he could seize the power from Li Huanzhi and cover the sky with one hand in Yongcheng. He never thought that he would be under the prying eyes of others and even be used by others to eradicate Qin Chang who had ulterior motives.

When it comes to defeat, the Li family will definitely lose without any suspense.

"I also know what's wrong with Li Ze's body. I specially found a doctor from the South to send it to him!" Yan Jue wrote the name of the imperial doctor Yuan He on the small table again, "The Xiang family is worried.

The Nian family had different intentions, so after learning his identity, they came to Yongcheng day and night to tell him, do you think I can send him to Li Ze without tears of gratitude?"

Luan Yi's little temper makes people worry, but being willing to hand over her whole life to the young man of the Rong family can be regarded as a worry for Luan Fu. Now it is a good thing to stay on Zhiyun Island and not go back to Nanchu to cause trouble.

.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Lu was confused. If she knew everything, why did she allow Li Ze to do whatever he wanted in Yongcheng?

Yan Yao held her cheek, tapped the small table with her long fingers and said with a smile, "Your child's name will be on the royal jade certificate after all. As your Concubine Li Shu, his future will naturally not be the same as the previous two children.

"

Yan Juan laughed at herself in her heart. Did becoming a mother finally make her soft-hearted?

Li Lu looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, unable to believe that she was so lucky to escape.

Yan Jue's eyes were shining brightly, and she tilted her head and asked, "What the Zhongyong Hou Mansion always wants is an obedient emperor. Is that what you want?"

"Can the emperor still be a high-ranking emperor when he is treated by courtiers? Respect should not be misused." Li Lu frowned and denied it. Even if Emperor Yongde never paid attention to her, she did not want him to become

A puppet.

"I hope you remember what you told me today." Yan Jue stood up neatly and smoothed the creases on her skirt. She was not here to make people unhappy tonight. "I don't know if you will be happy with what happens next."

You will like it. Don’t worry about the Li family. Who knows who else is going to come out and jump around? Just calm down and watch carefully!"

As she watched the slender figure gradually disappear behind the palace door, Li Lu finally understood that the Li family was just a bait in her eyes!

They wanted to know how many courtiers were involved in this matter, how many familiar faces in the court had been removed over the years, and how many of the children of the aristocratic families really stood out from the spring palace?

Therefore, the power of various aristocratic families in the court gradually weakened...
