Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 190 Extra Story 2 Li Yizhang
"You grow gardenias very well, better than the previous gardeners."
In the summer of the third year of Yunhong, Emperor Yunhong was newly enthroned. In the mansion of the Bai family in the capital, Bai Zhi, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, asked the new gardener in the mansion, "What's your name?"
The gardener lowered his head and did not dare to look up, his neck was tanned by the sun, and his face could not be seen clearly because of his lowered head. He could only hear him replying respectfully: "Ms. recall."
The girl was startled when she heard the words, then she curled her lips and smiled brightly: "Your name is quite elegant."
The gardener lowered his head: "The little one thanked the eldest lady for her compliment."
The girl said again: "These white gardenias are my favorite flowers, so please take good care of them for me, Mr. Li."
The gardener responded, "Yes."
Within two months, the dying white gardenia bushes could not be planted well in the Bai family, but they were brought back to life under the wonderful hands of the new gardener Li Yihui. took a flower.
Therefore, on the day of Jiji, the whole house of the Bai family was filled with the fragrance of white gardenias, which made every guest who came to participate in the Jiji ceremony full of praise, and the old lady of the Bai family laughed from ear to ear. Gardener Li Yi returned a bag of silver melon seeds.
Li Yi took it back, and will still stay in the Bai family to cultivate gardenias for the eldest lady.
In the early spring of Yunhong's fourth year, the white gardenia had just sprouted new buds, and the eldest lady of the Bai family stayed by the flower bushes every day, impatiently hoping that the white gardenia would bloom soon.
One day was fine, but a few days later, Li Yi saw that the young lady of the Bai family was looking at Gardenia longingly all day long, with a hint of sadness between her brows. method.
After figuring out a way, Li Yihui wanted to tell the good news to the eldest lady, to make her happy.
"Miss comes to see these gardenias every day." Li Yihui plucked up his courage, and then said this to Miss, "Do you want them to bloom earlier?"
Li Yihui is very well-behaved and very silent. He rarely speaks in the mansion. He has been in the mansion for almost a year, and this is the first time he has spoken to her on his own initiative. Therefore, Bai Zhi was taken aback after hearing what he said, and then remembered He answered, "Yes."
A barely visible smile appeared on the corner of Li Yihui's lips, and he was about to tell Bai Zhi his solution, but before he could speak, he listened to Bai Zhi's words.
"In another month, I will enter the palace." The girl pouted her chin and sighed heavily, "Baizhi only blooms in summer, so I won't be able to see these flowers after I enter the palace."
Li Yihui's smile froze, his Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't speak any more.
But Bai Zhi seemed to have been opened into some chatterbox, regardless of whether Li Yi recalled her or not, he just talked there on his own: "Mr. Li, do you know what kind of person the emperor is?"
"I heard that he already has a queen..." The girl lowered her eyelashes, just a little disappointed, and two blushes floated on her cheeks, "But I heard that after he knew that I like white gardenias, he ordered Yuhua The craftsman specially planted a piece of white gardenia in the imperial garden, and after I entered the palace, I could still see the white gardenia blooming, so I don’t know if he planted it for me.”
It is said that I know you like it, so how could it not be planted for you?Li Yihui said silently in his heart, but he still didn't say anything.
"Ah, Mr. Li, why did you call Li Yihui? Do you want to go back somewhere?" The girl suddenly changed the subject and turned her head to ask him.
Li Yi couldn't avoid it, so he could only answer her: "Miss, my father gave me my name, I don't know, maybe my father wants to go back to his hometown."
The girl smiled and pointed at herself again: "Then why are you and I called Bai Zhi?"
Li Yi immediately lowered his head when he heard the words: "I don't dare to know Miss's boudoir name."
"Oh, who in this mansion doesn't know that my name is Bai Zhi?" The girl didn't care, "I like Bai Zhi, and my name is Bai Zhi. I really have a relationship with Bai Zhi."
Li Yihui remained silent.
The girl was not disturbed by his boredom, and continued to chatter: "After I enter the palace, I will never be able to leave the palace again. Mr. Li, if you are no longer in the White House, where would you like to go?"
"...Liangdu."
Li Yihui hesitated for a while, but finally said these two words.
"I also want to go to Liangdu!" The girl's eyes lit up, "Mr. Li, do you like Liangdu too?"
"Ah."
"Have you ever been to Liangdu?"
"No."
"Then what do you like about Liangdu?"
"Flowers?"
"Is it the white gardenia?" The girl asked Li Yi back, and then she looked up into the distance, thinking, "The white gardenia in Liangdu blooms beautifully, and it was in the white gardenia in Liangdu that my parents met. Yes, so after I was born, my father named me Baizhi. But I have never been to Liangdu, and I really want to go to Liangdu to see Baizhi. However, there is also a piece of Baizhi on the southeast suburb of the capital, although it is not as blooming as Liangdu. The white gardenias in the capital are prosperous, but they are also extremely beautiful, Mr. Li, if you like the white gardenias, you can go and see them, and then go to Liangdu to see the beauty of the white gardenias."
Li Yihui still said very little: "Okay."
This was the last word he said to the girl.
One month later, Miss Bai's family entered the palace.
On the second day after she entered the palace, the white gardenias of the Bai family bloomed earlier, but she couldn't see them.
However, the concubine of the Bai family was deeply favored by the emperor. Soon after entering the palace, she became pregnant with a dragon heir, and was conferred the title of Concubine Chen by Emperor Yunhong. Then he was named the prince.
"Chen?" Li Yi recalled his salary for the last month of working in the Bai family, packed his bags and was about to leave. When he stepped out of the back door of the Bai mansion, he read Bai Zhi's title, and then laughed at himself, "The stars in the sky, Can't be near, can't be reached."
After October, Concubine Chen gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the mother and child were safe. According to the words of Emperor Yunhong, he named the eldest son the crown prince and named him "Chen", which also means stars.So far, the imperial concubine Chen has been favored all over the capital, and the women in the world have heard the words, and there is no one who does not envy the imperial concubine Chen.
But no matter how much he was favored, there were never too many princes in the palace, first the second prince, then the third prince... until Emperor Yunhong brought a brothel girl into the palace and let her give birth to the sixth prince, Li Yi When he returned, he put on the mask, and took the Dongyue knife brought back from the Western Regions by his fellow elders, and went into the palace to assassinate.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, and after the feast, Emperor Yunhong summoned Concubine Chen to accompany him.
The assassin broke through the siege and killed Emperor Yunhong, and even Concubine Shu died tragically under the knife of the assassin. Just as the knife was about to hit Emperor Yunhong's heart, Concubine Chen suddenly flew in front of Emperor Yunhong. eyes, and suddenly became dazed when they met the assassin's eyes.
But the assassin's knife did not fall in the end, he stopped the knife, stopped in place for a moment, then turned and left, when Jing Yue led the army outside the hall, he was hit by Jing Yue, and fled staggeringly.
Emperor Yunhong escaped after the catastrophe, gasped for a long time on the throne, and then looked at Concubine Chen who was standing in front of him just now.
Emperor Yunhong's lips parted and opened again, the sentence: "Why didn't the assassin kill you, do you know the assassin?" In the end, he still didn't ask.
He killed all the palace people in the palace that day except Concubine Chen, and claimed that it was Jing Yue who saved him, without mentioning Concubine Chen.It's just that the white gardenias in the imperial garden in the palace were no longer cared for carefully, and gradually withered.
Another year later, Emperor Yunhong went on a tour in his subdued clothes, brought back a woman from Jiangnan, and bestowed the title of "Concubine Zhen".
On the day when the Seventh Prince Xiao Jiming was born, Concubine Chen stood on the top floor of Xiechun Hall, looking at the southeast direction in the distance. She looked up at the natural moon, and then smiled and said: "Tonight is a full moon, Li Sir, you have come to the palace to watch the moon with me for two years, won't you come out to see me today?"
After she finished speaking for a long time, a man in black suddenly turned down from the cornice and stood behind Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen continued: "Have you seen the white gardenias in the southeastern suburbs?"
The man in black whispered, "Not yet."
"Why don't you go and have a look? I can't see it because you can't see the southeast suburbs from the palace. You are so free, you can go and have a look." After getting a response, Concubine Chen started talking again, "However, the white gardenia that the emperor planted for me is also planted in the southeast of the imperial garden, but now the flowers are gone, and I can't see them anymore."
Li Yihui apologized to her: "...Sorry."
"I'm always looking at the southeast, the Bai Zhi in the southeast." Concubine Chen asked him again, "Then what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at Liangdu, and Liangdu is also in the southeast." Li Yihui said such a long word to her for the first time, "A hundred years ago, the Great Xiao cavalry flattened Dongping County and changed its name to Liangdu. I am a descendant of Dongping County. The palace only wants to kill the royal family."
Bai Zhi asked him: "Then why didn't you kill him?"
Li Yihui didn't answer her.
Bai Zhi didn't ask any more questions.
Li Yihui took the initiative: "I can take you away."
"I won't go." Bai Zhi stood with her head held high, tears in her eyes, "My son is the Prince of Great Xiao, and he will inherit the Great Xiao's kingdom in the future. You will kill him too, right? I have to stay and protect him."
Even though this is said, Concubine Chen just stood at the height of the palace building and looked towards the southeast day after day, and gradually stopped seeing the prince, and just looked at the distance gloomily, as if trapped in the palace. of birds.
After Li Yihui failed in the assassination that day, he returned the Dongyue Saber to the elder, and did not ask about the descendants of Dongping County.
The descendants of Dongping County in the Western Regions scolded him, but he didn't care. He just stayed in the capital, and from time to time he went into the palace and squatted on the cornice corner of Xiechun Palace to look southeast.Concubine Chen couldn't see Bai Zhi, and he couldn't see Liang Du either.
Later, the crown prince resisted the decree and refused to accept the side concubine, and the concubine Chen spoke out in defense, and then became seriously ill with hematemesis.
Emperor Yunhong came to read it every day, but the concubine Chen never got well.When Emperor Yunhong was away, Concubine Chen ignored the obstruction of the palace people, even if she couldn't get down to the ground, she still went up to the high place of the palace tower and looked towards the southeast.
Li Yi recalled all the palace people, and asked Concubine Chen again: "Do you want to go to Liangdu? Do you want to see Baizhi? I can take you there."
"I want to go." Concubine Chen smiled while lying on the soft bed, "but I can't go."
"I'm going to be buried in the tomb of a man who doesn't love me..."
"Stay away from my mother, father..."
Concubine Chen asked Li Yi again: "Mr. Li, have you visited the white gardenia in the southeastern suburbs?"
Li Yihui told her, "I've seen it."
"Is it beautiful?"
"Yes."
"The white gardenias in Liangdu are even more beautiful, and you have never had the chance to see them." Concubine Chen closed her eyes, struggling to speak, "Go, go and see your hometown, and see those white gardenias..."
When Emperor Yunhong heard that all the palace people around Concubine Chen were stunned, but Concubine Chen was unscathed, he was stunned for a long time, he didn't say anything, and he didn't allow others to say anything.
Seven days later, Concubine Chen passed away.
Not long after, the prince committed suicide and died.
Emperor Yunhong still did not allow anyone to speak, and still buried the prince with the ceremony of the East Palace.
However, the skeleton of Concubine Chen was stolen on the way to the imperial mausoleum with the crown prince.
Concubine Chen's bones were stolen, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to speak out, fearing that the Holy One would be angry, so they only transported an empty coffin to the imperial mausoleum.
No one knows that after that day, there was an unnamed grave in the Bai family cemetery, which was buried next to Mrs. Bai and the master. In the tomb, there was also a red bellyband worn by a child when he was full moon. The word "Chen".
The author has something to say: Tomorrow I will write about Baili Wenjing and Qiao Xi, then the Seventh Prince, and after the Seventh Prince, Jingyuan. If you ask why Jingyuan is a tyrant, there will be an explanation in that episode.Thanks on 2020-04-1622
