Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The diffuse mist gradually dissipated, and the water in the bathtub became cooler little by little. Lianzhen still maintained her original stiff posture, sitting there motionless, letting her satin-smooth skin be exposed on the in the air.I don't know how long it took before the hall door was gently opened. Hengbo hesitated for a while, and then slowly entered the inner hall. Lianzhen heard the movement, raised the back of her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but There was a trace of sobs that could not be concealed in the voice: "Didn't you say that you don't want to be served?"

Hengbo pretended not to see her losing her composure, and carefully held up the white jade fruit plate in her hand, on which brightly colored cherries were piled up like a red pagoda, Hengbo's voice was as soft as usual: "This is the new Gong's cherries, they just brought them here, the master has always liked to eat this, why not try something new now."

"I don't want to eat, you go out."

Hengbo put down the plate, and said softly with a smile: "Master, the water is getting cold, I'll ask them to bring in some hot water." Without waiting for Lianzhen to answer, he went straight out, and took it from Baozhen who was waiting outside the hall. He took a silver basin, came in again, stood on the edge of the tub, and slowly poured hot water into it from the edge.

Seeing her like this, Lianzhen's expression was already displeased, and she unconsciously accentuated her tone: "Hengbo, I said that I want to stay quietly for a while."

After Hengbo added the hot water, he took rose dew by himself, sprinkled it into the water little by little, and said: "The emperor summoned the master for two consecutive nights, and the master kept himself in the room for two days, bathed several times a day, Still weeping secretly, master think about it, if such a situation is known to outsiders, what will happen?"

Lian Zhen turned her face away, pursed her lips stubbornly, and Hengbo sighed softly: "The servants can't understand what the master does, and the master can't listen to the persuasion of the slaves. In this case, I can only say to myself , the master must have his own reasons. It's just that I was thinking that if I was a slave for a day, I would be the master for the rest of my life, and my master never gave up. I never really treated me as a person, and I didn't even say a word of reprimand. I have to do my best A meager effort is to keep the master safe, and it is unwise for the master to do what he is doing now!"

Tears welled up in Lian Zhen's eyes again, and her voice was saddened: "Hengbo, I don't want to go to bed, I don't want to go to bed anymore! Why does he still think of me when he has so many women?" She cried, Hengbo panicked and stepped forward to comfort her, but she grabbed Hengbo's sleeve and cried like a child. It's not that she had never slept with her before, but that beautiful and tall shadow had entered her heart. That indifferent and delicate face became more and more clear in her mind, and being favored became an extremely cruel torture. Lying on that dragon bed, her heart was filled with humiliation, her body trembling involuntarily, all she was thinking at that moment was She, her eyes, her eyebrows, her gentleness, her sternness, and how to face it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or longer. . . . . .

"My lord, there's no way around it. He is the emperor. He can't stop what he wants, let alone refuse it. And you are his concubine. It's not only a matter of course, but also a supreme honor and favor." Ah, you...you are wrong to do this, this...if this is heard, it will lead to death!"

Hengbo was so anxious that she lost her words, but Lianzhen slowly stopped crying. She stared blankly at the rose-red fresh petals in the water, and suddenly said, "Isn't anyone coming to Qingquan Palace today?"

Hengbo was slightly taken aback, and replied, "No."

"Emperor...she..."

"Master, what do you want to say?"

Lian really clenched her lips, then let go, and shook her head weakly: "It's nothing. You can call someone to invite Doctor Li later."

Hengbo frowned, and looked at her like examining: "Master, is there something wrong with your body?"

Lian Zhen said to herself: "She is an imperial doctor, she will have a solution."

Hengbo Huarong turned pale: "Master, you must not! This is deceiving the emperor, are you going to put yourself and Li Taiyi in danger?"

"Others won't know." Lian Zhen looked tired and said softly: "Go, just treat it as me begging for your help."

The inner study of the Huo family is the most quiet and secret place in the mansion, surrounded by pine, bamboo and plum, it is very quiet and elegant. The indoor bookcase is filled with all kinds of precious ancient books of literature and history. There was a faint scent of books.

Huo Song sat on the wide sandalwood chair, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered his father's words: "Among all my children, only Binglun is the most like me, and only she is the most calm. Alas, it's a pity that she In the body of a daughter." There seemed to be great regret in that tone.Huo Song's tense mood suddenly relaxed, and he naturally changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

Jin Bo rolled a piece of tea into his mouth with the tip of his tongue, chewed it lightly a few times, and with an expression of admiration on his face, he said calmly, "Is that what the imperial concubine said?"

"Yes, sir, she thinks that the emperor wants to live forever and has no idea of ​​setting up a crown prince at all. Waiting is just a waste of thought and time. Also, Wen Tian and that old man went to the palace to face the saint the day before yesterday, saying that father's standing still is not a tactic. Don’t worry about the needs of God.”

Jin Bo is Huo Mu's most trusted think tank, and has always lived in the Huo Mansion, so Huo Song also has an unusual respect for him.

After hearing this, Jin Bo's expression was shocked: "The emperor is always suspicious, I'm afraid he has become suspicious of the general at this time."

"But the emperor did not let Wen Tianhe return to the cabinet to take charge."

"If you don't let him return to court, it doesn't mean you didn't listen to what he said, um..." Jin Bo stroked a few black beards under his chin, and said in a deep voice, "What does your mother mean by changing the plan?"

Huo Song tried his best to behave calmly: "Li Xuanzhen is going to start taking Changsheng Pills next month. Your Majesty thinks that we should not wait, but start preparing."

Jin Bo pondered for a while, then said softly: "It's about time, even if the crown prince is not established, we should have a better chance of winning, but, are you sure about it?"

"There is no problem with Li Xuanzhen." Huo Song thought about it and said, "Sir, I invited you here today to discuss with you whether to write a book first and send it to Xijiang, and first tell my father about the situation. We will wait for his reply before making a decision.”

Jin Bo waved his hand: "No! You can't write a letter. If someone intercepts it, the consequences will be disastrous. We should have a confidant and send a message to the general, and at the same time plan carefully with the empress and make careful preparations." He Slowly got up, took a few steps on the ground, and said: "Kuang Chong is now General Left Guard, in charge of four of the eight guard battalions guarding the capital. Although Yuan Yue, General Guard of the Right, controls the other four battalions, he He is the emperor's confidant, whoever wins the battle in the inner city, he can only serve as the master..."

Huo Song couldn't help interrupting: "Sir, don't forget, there are still [-] Imperial Forest Army in the capital, whether it is the president leading the Lian Rebellion, the outer guard commander Chai Biao, the inner guard commander Xia Houjin, and the iron guard chief Yu Jian Feng, is only loyal to the emperor."

A faint smile appeared on Jin Bo's lips: "Then the emperor died?"

Huo Song said: "They may be loyal to the second prince, but they may also be loyal to the first prince, so we can't take this risk lightly."

"It's a risky thing to do such a big thing." Jin Bo looked at him, and said slowly: "Did you forget that the empress told you to take care of Princess Ying? She wants you to send someone into the clan mansion to jail Yu Ying." Have you forgotten about the prince getting in touch?"

"I haven't forgotten, but we didn't get anything from Zongmou in the end."

"What about this list?"

At some point, Jin Bo had an extra piece of cloth in his hand, densely written on it, Huo Song was both surprised and delighted: "So... so you got it, and you even kept it from me!"

"This matter is of great importance. It's better that you don't even know it until the critical moment."

Huo Song took the cloth from him, glanced at it quickly, and couldn't help being dumbfounded: "This...this..."

"Their positions are not very high, but eldest son, don't underestimate these people." Jin Bo smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Sometimes, a little loach can also turn up big waves."

Various seasonal fresh fruits and scented teas were placed on the table, but no one moved.Concubine Li and Concubine Hui both lowered their heads, not daring to look at the queen's cloudy face. Recently, the queen has been attacked one after another. The Huo family regained military power, the imperial concubine adopted the second prince, and uncle Wen Tianhe was ordered to take sick leave. . . . . .That's all, the eldest prince Zong Lie was adopted to Concubine Ning, it was really an arrow piercing the heart, and the pain would be hard to dissipate for a while.

The silent and cold atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, and Concubine Li finally said angrily: "The second prince is so young, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning, and even sued his elder brother in front of the emperor. It's just that children are playing around. For a trivial matter, the emperor is so biased, it is really unconvincing."

Concubine Hui has always been attached to the queen in the palace, at this moment she hastily interjected: "The second prince is still young, how can he understand these things? This is someone who taught him well, the empress thinks, learning to fly the white body, and when the emperor asked about his ambitions Answering the question, plus suing the First Prince, this step is followed closely, it can be said to be well-intentioned."

Concubine Li said angrily: "What kind of intentions are there, but sinister intentions!"

Seeing Concubine Li being furious, Concubine Hui couldn't understand the sarcasm in her words, although she felt aggrieved, she didn't dare to speak out to defend herself, so she could only swallow her anger and said: "Sister is right."

"It's Ben Gong who missed my point." The yellow satin embroidered robe worn by the queen was embroidered with red peonies, which looked very gorgeous, but her face was pale and pale: "This bitch, these years She pretended to be noble in the palace, as if she used her Qingquan Palace as a place to hide from the world, and hid it from everyone's eyes. Now that her natal family gained power again, she secretly began to work hard step by step, preparing to climb to the top. This palace is coming up."

Concubine Hui catered to her and said: "She doesn't lie to the emperor, but it can make the emperor treat her differently than others. She doesn't fight or snatch, and doesn't make friends with others, so everyone in the harem is not on their guard against her."

The queen took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's only my fault that Lie'er is not up to date and doesn't know what's going on, so people have a chance to take advantage of it, alas!"

Concubine Hui said: "Actually, I can't blame the Eldest Prince, he is Min... the common people brought him up with one hand, knowing the situation of his biological mother, how can he control himself not to lose his composure?"

The queen sneered: "Lie'er knows about Minshu, so someone probably did it on purpose to disturb his mind. He is a child, and he is used to being pampered. When he is sad and angry, he will inevitably lose control of his temper. It's a pity that I can't find the person who spread the news, so it can be seen that this bitch has a lot of hands and eyes in this harem!"

Concubine Li said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is only a concubine, so she is not qualified to adopt a prince, why don't we go together and beg the emperor to let him take back his holy order."

"He has made a decree, how can he take it back, and now that the position of concubine is vacant, he can make Concubine Ning a concubine." The queen thought about Zong Lie, and then thought about the emperor, tears rolled down her eyes: "Besides, The emperor doesn't even step into my palace anymore. After I went to Changle Palace and persuaded him to cherish the dragon body and made him displeased, he rarely even saw me face to face. Now, in his eyes, only the two of Gao Li Fox spirit, why do you still pay attention to my middle palace?"

"Empresses are like this, let alone us." Concubine Hui was depressed, and then gloated a little: "But the emperor has been the lucky concubine Lian from the day before yesterday, and maybe those two charming sons of Gaoli are already tired of it." gone."

Concubine Li said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you pet Gaoli Hu Meizi, anyway, they have no power in Dayan, no one to back them up, how can they have the right to fight against us, they are just two playthings, but Concubine Lian is the one from Qingquan Palace. People, if you blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor, it will not be a good thing for us."

The Empress and Concubine Hui looked at her together, Concubine Li said: "I also heard from Lady Mei today that Imperial Concubine and Concubine Lian often met in private for a while."

Just as they were talking, a palace maid came to report: "Empress, Lady Mei is out to see you." Concubine Li said: "Cao Cao will be here, you can ask her yourself."

The Queen said, "Tell her to come in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Mu Feiyu lifted up her skirt and entered the inner hall. She saluted the queen first, then concubine Li and concubine Hui, and then said in a low voice: "Concubine is asking to see your empress at this time. This is a very important matter, which must be reported to the empress."

"what's up?"

Mu Feiyu glanced at Concubine Hui, hesitated slightly, the queen said: "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to worry about it." Then she waved her hand: "Come on, come closer."

Mu Feiyu walked forward as he said, and whispered to the queen for a while, the queen looked shocked: "Is what you said true?"

Mu Feiyu said: "This is what my concubine saw with her own eyes. It's absolutely true. At that time, my concubine was hiding behind a rockery. It's ridiculous that Li Taiyi looked around, but didn't notice it at all. He took the silk scarf from it like a treasure. I took it out of my arms, put it next to my nose and sniffed it intoxicatingly for a long time, and then put it back reluctantly."

"No wonder Concubine Lian always called Li Tai doctor to take a pulse. That's how it is! Oh, I forgot, this Li Mao is Li Daozhong's son. Both father and son are trusted by the imperial concubine. Li Mao is still young. The face seems to be quite handsome, no wonder Concubine Lian is tempted, I'm afraid... the imperial concubine is also tempted." A cold smile appeared on the queen's face, and she said fiercely: "Huo Binglun, this bitch, has one hand. You are not benevolent for cutting off the mother-child relationship between me and Lie'er, but don't blame me for being ruthless!"
