Zhou Meiren is a scheming person. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to successfully give birth to a daughter under the nose of Concubine Chen. She is Concubine Chen's wife, and she seems to be following Concubine Chen's lead. In fact, she is Empress Jiang's secretly.
people.
That's why she was able to hide the incident of Concubine Chen's poisoning without leaving any trace. It seemed that she helped Concubine Chen to trick Concubine Xie Shunbin to death, but secretly, Concubine Chen was actually tricked by her.
Chun'er was a clue laid by King Qing a long time ago. Zhou Meiren had already told the Holy Lord pitifully and quietly about this matter, including the matter of Chun'er secretly giving her sterilization medicine. Zhou Meiren also quietly followed the flow of the situation.
The ground pretended not to notice.
The concubines in the Holy Lord's harem have withered away, and now there are only three concubines and five concubines plus a few low-ranking beauties. The most favored concubine Chen gave birth to the fourth prince Rui Wang Li Jue and the eighth prince Qing Wang Li Yue.
Although the eldest son of the emperor, the seventh son of the emperor, all died of illness, Concubine Lin Shu's son, Prince Huai Li Jia, is now the eldest. However, Li Jia has a violent and eccentric personality, which the Holy Lord has never liked. In addition, Concubine Lin Shu's character is indifferent to the world, and she only cares about herself.
Eating food in the palace and chanting Buddha's name can be said to mean that you don't care about worldly affairs.
The King of Wei, Li Wei, who is known as the Wise King, was born to the late Imperial Concubine Xiaoxi. He had a deep relationship with the Holy Lord during his lifetime. In addition, Li Wei was extremely outstanding among the princes, and was most valued by the Holy Lord, and he seemed to be a general.
Let him inherit the signs.
The fifth prince, King Li Rong of Qi, and his biological mother, Xie Shunbin, were born as palace slaves and were humble and lowly. However, although Xie Shunbin's background was criticized, her belly was very impressive and she gave birth to two daughters and one son in succession.
The royal princesses of the Dayi Dynasty are not ranked. Those who are more favored can have a name from birth. Those who are not favored can only wait until they are six years old, and the Holy Lord or Qin Tianjian will give them names based on the hour and horoscopes, etc.
title.
As soon as Xie Shunbin's two daughters were born, the Holy Lord considered them over and over again and gave them beautiful names. One was Li Han and the other was Li Xuan, both of which meant beautiful jade.
When she was young, Concubine Xie Shun was so beautiful that she could be said to outshine the entire harem. Even Concubine Chen, who was born into a wealthy family, could not steal her limelight. Later, Concubine Xie Shun got older, and new people in the harem were springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Concubine Xie quickly retired.
, instead of competing with other beauties, he just brings up his three children with peace of mind.
Concubine Chen was born in a noble family, and she came up from behind. She secretly sent Concubine Xie Shun's eldest daughter, who was only thirteen years old, to Northern Liang to get married. However, Princess Li Han of Chang'an was very clever and became very popular in the imperial court of Northern Saibei. Li Han's appearance
She looked exactly like Concubine Xie Shun, and she was good at dancing. The Shanyu of Saibei loved and respected her. He respected her as the only Dalan clan and commanded the entire harem. Even the affairs of the previous dynasty were often discussed with her.
For this reason, Xie Xuan, the second daughter of Xie Shun's concubine, Princess Yunxi, was granted by the Holy Lord to marry Ren Qixian, a direct descendant of a wealthy family in Hedong and a well-known scholar from Hedong.
With such two powerful brothers-in-law, and Li Rong himself having outstanding qualifications, although his reputation is not as good as that of Li Wei, it is still a huge hidden danger. Li Rong secretly tried to trip up the two sons of Concubine Chen many times, if not for
Prince Qing was smart, while Prince Rui had many smart men under his command, and had been successfully plotted by Li Rong long ago.
Li Rong acted like this and said that he had no intention of becoming the crown prince. Who would believe it? The original plan for this poisoning incident directed and performed by Concubine Chen was to first remove the thorn in Li Rong's flesh.
As for Li Wei, the thorn in the side, he is too strong and the Holy Family is too long to be shaken for the time being. Concubine Chen originally just wanted to make some small moves to make the Holy Lord suspicious of him. If this goes on, the suspicion will accumulate bit by bit, and
It was enough to shake Li Wei's position.
Unexpectedly, this suspicion turned on his own son.
Although Ye Chongde repeatedly told Concubine Chen to calm down and take good health as her top priority, Concubine Chen had been proud all her life and suffered such a setback. How could she bear this tone?
During this period of time, due to the uprooting of the mother clan's power, she tried her best but was still unable to save the lives of the younger members of the clan. She had no choice but to keep a low profile with her tail between her legs, which was frustrating for her.
The seven orifices produce smoke.
She had been planning for a long time and wanted to go ahead with the New Year's Eve palace banquet and use the pretext of being poisoned to attack Qi Wang Li Rong and Wei Wang Li Wei, the two culprits who had brought her mother's family to this point. Unexpectedly, she killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.
Where can I swallow my breath?
Concubine Chen paid such a high price, but she died, and Li Rong was imprisoned in the fiefdom by the Holy Lord. But Li Wei was not harmed at all, and the Holy Lord even valued and trusted him more and more. If Li Wei ascends to the throne of God in the future
, Where in the world is there a place for the four of them, mother and son, to stand together?
What makes Concubine Chen even more angry is that Li Wei's biological mother, Concubine Xiaoyi, passed away nearly twenty years ago, but the Holy Lord still misses her. Even her son Li Wei takes good care of her. This makes Shengsheng known as the most favored harem.
How could she not be angry when she had three thousand?
But what can she do if Qi returns to Qi?
Concubine Chen was furious in Qixiang Palace, while Li Rong was heartbroken in Yimei Palace.
Li Rong staggered around the Yimei Palace like a sleepwalker. The row of plum blossoms planted when he was born in front of the court were swaying. In the middle of winter, the red plum blossoms reflected the white snow, which was a unique scene.
The Holy Lord still has some affection for Xie Shunbin. In previous years, Li Rong, like King Rui and King Qi, stayed in the capital from the Holy Lord's Qianqiu Festival to the new year. Whenever the red plum blossoms bloom, the Holy Lord will definitely
I would choose a good day to enjoy plum blossoms, drink wine and compose poems with Xie Shunbin and Li Rong.
But now, things have changed and people have changed, the plum blossoms are still blooming on the branches, but the plum blossom grower has disappeared among the palace walls, and no trace can be found.
Li Rong leaned against a plum tree sluggishly. He was stunned for an unknown amount of time before moving his frozen body and walked into Xie Shunbin's dormitory step by step.
Before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face. The various furnishings and objects in Yimei Palace brought back countless memories for Li Rong.
Li Rong carefully picked up the dressing table with trembling hands. Xie Shunbin's favorite ruby ​​​​was waving her eyebrows with joy. Among Xie Shunbin's jewelry, there are few such complicated, bold and colorful ones. This is specially made by her sister.
From the Royal Court of Northern Liang, when the envoys came to Beijing to pay tribute, they were personally given to Concubine Xie Shun.
Li Rong gently stroked the tassels of Bu Yao with his hand, and the scene of his mother-in-law wearing this Bu Yao for the first time appeared in front of her eyes, looking around happily in front of the dressing mirror.
But Xie Shunbin's joy lasted only a moment, but her worries were endless.
My sister is struggling alone in the Northern Liang Royal Court. On the surface, she is loved by everyone, but secretly, who knows how she can withstand the wind, frost, rain, snow and severe oppression?
Li Rong floated like a zombie in the empty and cold Yimei Palace, with every plant, tree, table and chair. When he was a child, he and his two sisters entertained Concubine Xie Shun together. The scene was vivid in his mind. As he walked and recalled, Li Rong
Finally, he collapsed at the foot of Xie Shunbin's bed.
Li Rong suddenly looked thoughtfully at the foot of the bed that was said to contain countless poisons. By some strange coincidence, Li Rong did not hesitate to open the foot of the bed. The poison inside had long been used as evidence of crime. A piece of white silk was hidden in the bed.
inside.
Li Rong couldn't wait to take it out. The white silk was probably torn off by Xie Shunbin in a hurry from her personal clothes, hastily written and left to him by chance.
"Li Rong, my son, if you read this letter, my mother is no longer alive in this world. The fight for the crown prince is extremely dangerous. My mother was born in a lowly position and has been criticized a lot by the officials in the court. Rong'er, you are burdened by your mother.
, I have no relatives to help, and no ministers to help. Now in order to save my life, I can only taint myself, plead guilty to your father for making mistakes, go to the throne, and be imprisoned in a fief to think about my mistakes behind closed doors. Only then can I save my life. As for my mother's injustice.
, you must not pursue it, Han'er..."
Li Rong saw that the handwriting was unusually sloppy, and he must have written it in a hurry. There were only a few drops of ink at the end, so he probably encountered some accident and had no time to finish it.
Li Rong sat there for a moment, rubbed his face randomly to cheer up, and walked decisively towards Fengzao Palace where Queen Jiang lived.
