Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

When the emperor moved to Tai'an Palace, it was dusk. At this time, all the palace gates have been locked. Now the situation is different. No matter the retinue or the maids in the palace, they are all anxiously waiting for the inevitable outbreak tonight. Mother and son dispute.

The Empress Dowager came from a humble background, but anyone with a little seniority in the palace has heard of it.However, I also know that the Empress Dowager is gentle and peaceful by nature, she doesn't care about big things, but she is very courteous to the Empress, and she has little temper. No matter how old or young she is in the palace, or even the court officials, most of them are full of praise when they mention the Empress Dowager.

But what happened earlier today made the queen mother so angry that she blushed like a stick, as if she just needed to start the fire again and it would explode with a bang.

Concubine Zhao Guifei, who had been missing for many days, mysteriously appeared in the area of ​​the Holy Land where the Empress Dowager piously practiced Buddhism.After being fueled and jealous by the courtiers, Zhao Rang has become an unspeakable and horrifying evil, and a demon with profound morals and practices that cannot be suppressed even by the boundless Dharma.

Rumors are still bubbling, unexpectedly at night, the emperor shot back at Tai'an Palace, and the maids who served the Empress Dowager in Tai'an Palace rushed out to greet them after hearing the notice, kneeling and begging: The Empress Dowager is not in good health, she has gone to bed and rest, Your Majesty is filial Gantian, if I don't come back tomorrow to say hello.

The emperor smiled when he heard the words, turned around and left without saying much.

The palace attendants couldn't tolerate a moment's relief, and everyone suddenly noticed that the emperor was striding towards the Buddhist hall set up by the empress dowager.

The upper part of the Buddhist hall is dedicated to the Buddha, and there is an incense burner underneath.

As soon as the emperor stepped into this place, he was choked by the thick smoke. He coughed several times, and suddenly thunder was furious. He waved his sleeves and said in a low voice, "Remove all the things here, and leave nothing behind."

His voice was not loud, but no one dared to disobey him. Before he could finish his words, people in the Buddhist hall immediately divided into two rows, rushing towards the Buddha statue overlooking the sentient beings, trying to lift the Buddha statue, which is one and a half tall, from the throne.

Seeing that the matter is about to be accomplished, suddenly I heard the high-pitched voice of the internal officer: "The old lady is here!"

All the people in the Buddhist hall who were doing the fighting were stunned and did not move. The emperor raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Do it!"

Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and finally moved the Buddha statue to the ground carefully under the instructions of the manager.

The Empress Dowager hurried over, and as soon as she entered the Buddhist hall, seeing this scene, she immediately covered her heart with her hands, rolled her eyes, took a deep breath but couldn't breathe, her body stiffened suddenly, and she fell backwards straight.

The maids on both sides screamed in shock and rushed forward one after another, but they never caught up with the quick-sighted emperor. He supported the queen mother with one hand and pinched her with the other. Hearing the steward shouting and sending someone to send the imperial doctor, he calmly said: " The Empress Dowager is fine, she is just out of breath, so don’t make a fuss. Wait for the Empress Dowager to go back to her dormitory first, and ask her not to be next to the Buddhist hall. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is nothing more than a barren place after death. The wind blows here and there is no righteousness. No wonder there are strange things Frequent."

After the emperor's rescue, the empress dowager woke up slowly at this time, and just heard the second half of the sentence, she was furious, and a mouthful of thick phlegm was stuck in her throat, gurgling.

The palace lady handed over the silk handkerchief at the right time, and the emperor took it, stroked the queen mother's back, and called softly: "Mother, mother..."

The queen mother coughed out the phlegm with a "wow", and finally she was relieved. She pointed to the Buddha statue that had been pulled to the ground, and her fingers trembled: "My son, the queen mother is short-sighted, but the way of governing the country , but Confucianism and Taoism, did these ancient sages teach you to disobey filial piety and take pleasure in insulting your biological parents? Am I really a sinner in my previous life?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, smiled lightly, and spoke softly: "The empress mother also knows the words of the saint? But it was taught by the nun? Forget it, I beg the empress mother to tell me, where is Huihai now?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head sadly, and instead of answering, asked: "My lord, do you really want to become an enemy of the good people in the world because of that evildoer?"

"I will discuss this matter with my mother later." The emperor's face became gloomy, and he turned sideways, looking at the tripod incense burner enshrining the Buddha, and asked in a cold voice, "I don't want to hide this from my mother, that nun is related to state affairs. Please mother, the overall situation is the most important."

The Empress Dowager, who had returned to a dignified manner, replied blankly: "The empress mother has ordered Hui Hai to be sent out of the palace. If I knew the emperor was cruel, how could I let her go?"

The empress dowager's foresight made the emperor dumbfounded. He sighed suddenly, his face became serious, and he went out of the Buddhist hall with his hands behind his back. Just as he stepped out of the threshold, he turned around suddenly and said loudly to the ladies in Tai'an Palace: "Serve the empress dowager immediately and leave this place. place."

After talking for a while, he coldly turned to the Queen Mother, and actually issued an order to others-"Immediately burn this land polluted by Hu Yu to the ground. , I don’t want to confuse the public with rumors and spread nonsense among the people!”

This time when the words were finished, the footsteps had already started, and the emperor walked away like a swift wind, completely ignoring the mess left behind.

"I'm a person without filial piety. I didn't have the fear of criticizing God's punishment when I was alive, so why should I be afraid of reincarnation after death?" When the voice of reprimand came to his ears, Li Lang was indifferent and thought to himself.

After leaving the Tai'an Palace, he went straight to the imperial study. The emperor issued an edict overnight to hunt down the nun Huihai, and to find out that Feng Yi ordered to open the gate of the palace to serve as an internal official.

The old servant couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "The empress dowager uses the treasure, how can the person who guards the door and holds the key dare to disobey Yi's order? This crime is too unjust."

After finishing speaking, he slapped his own mouth and accepted it with a blushing smile, "Your Majesty forgive me for talking too much, servant girl."

The emperor smiled, shook his head and sighed: "Why don't I know? It's just that I need to use this to establish my prestige, and I will never allow my mother to act arbitrarily, so that everyone in the world knows that the filial piety of a master is very different from the filial piety of an ordinary man. You can set an example, and don't force the emperor with the etiquette of the world."

After listening to the old servant, he dared not persuade him any more.

Li Lang strictly pursued the responsibility, even to the point of tit for tat with the Empress Dowager, the next day it spread inside and outside the deep palace, Chengxian Palace was no exception.

The next day when Zhao Rang woke up, it was already past time, and he fell asleep in a dark and dark sleep. Although it was not spring sleep, he still didn't wake up, which was very rare for him.But Zhao Rang didn't feel full, but tired, with a dull pain in his temples, and even felt drowsy. He knew it was the effect of the medicine, and he didn't want to be restrained by it, so he forced himself to get up.

Hearing noises from left and right, they immediately came to wait for him to change his clothes and wash his hands.Zhao Rang originally wanted to have people carry water into the palace to bathe and cleanse himself, but when he heard that Changle was waiting outside the palace early in the morning, he gave up for the time being, put on his clothes and called Changle.

The two brothers and sisters hadn't seen each other for many days, and when they reunited at this time, it was like reuniting after a farewell. Changle was extremely excited. Changle called out "Big Brother" in pain, and rushed into Zhao Rang's arms, hugging Zhao Rang tightly, trembling all over.

Zhao Ranghao sighed and stroked Chang Le's shoulders until the girl was back to normal.

Chang Le buried his face in Zhao Rang's chest, sobbing, "Xiao Gao is dead."

"Well," Zhao Rang dejectedly, his hands becoming more and more gentle, "His body has been transported out of the palace, and when there is a chance, you and I will go to visit his grave."

The two couldn't help recalling Gao Zheng together. When Changle heard that Xiao Gao could not forget the sentence "Knowing his advance and retreat, survival and death without losing his righteousness" before he died, tears fell like rain, and after crying for a while, he burst into tears and laughed by himself. Wiping away his tears, he said proudly, "Xiao Gao didn't disappoint Big Brother, did he?"

Zhao Rang sighed, nodded but said bitterly: "I failed to protect him, Changle, elder brother is incompetent."

Changle held Zhao Rang's left hand in both palms, looked at Zhao Rang, tears were still there, and his nose was red, but he looked solemn and said earnestly: "Brother, don't look down on Xiao Gao. He doesn't need your protection. I am the same."

But Zhao Rang could only put his other palm on the back of Changle's slender hand, speechless.

Seeing that the two of them talked sometimes, and sometimes faced each other silently, as if there was no end, he stepped forward and asked if he wanted to prepare some refreshments for food. Zhao Rang and Changle Jing were both a little hungry, so Zhao Rang ordered, just serve some Staple food is enough.

After a while, steamed buns and flower cakes were served, and the two worshiped Wu Zangfu in silence. Chang Le clapped his hands, smiled coquettishly at Zhao Rang, and suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice worriedly: "Brother, you disappeared a few days ago What happened? Why did you suddenly appear in Tai'an Palace again, or near the Empress Dowager's temple? Could it be that you have been imprisoned in Tai'an Palace these days? I didn't notice..."

She paused, looked carefully at Zhao Rang, and said with some hesitation: "But, but why can Li Ming predict what happened yesterday? He was also involved?"

Zhao Rang was taken aback when he heard the name, and asked in a whisper, "Then what did Li Ming tell you?"

Chang Le pursed her lips and shook her head: "I didn't say anything. I was sitting alone by the lake behind Tai'an Palace the day before yesterday, and he suddenly appeared, which shocked me."

It turned out that the Empress Dowager intended to let Changle serve the emperor so as to take the place of Zhao Rang, but since that day, the Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor had never looked at Changle differently, and it seemed that she had never considered Changle as a concubine at all, so she was disheartened Under the cold, the attitude towards Changle is different from before.

Coincidentally, the disappearance of Zhao Rang happened immediately after, and the people in the harem were panicked. Tai'an Palace was no exception, and Changle's status plummeted.

It's just that Changle has suffered many ups and downs, and doesn't pay much attention to the honor and disgrace outside the body, even life and death. However, Xiao Gao left sadly, and the two will never see each other for the last time.With no place to relieve her sadness, she would sit alone by the lake from time to time, watching the sparkling light in the rustling autumn wind.

That day when she was fascinated, Li Ming hung upside down from the tree, almost scaring Chang Le's soul away.

Before she could scream out in shock, Li Ming covered her mouth with his body, and whispered, "Shh, don't make noise! ​​Listen to me carefully, no matter what weird things happen tomorrow, don't panic, remember Calm down and calm down... Ouch!"

Chang Le unceremoniously bit Li Ming's tiger's mouth hard, Li Ming let out a wail, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, glaring at Chang Le angrily.

"You...you are a man?" Chang Le gasped, and took two steps back.

Li Ming turned pale with shock, he never imagined that since Changle was tortured that day, she has become a bird of fright, she is still wary of men, and eunuchs can also make her feel uncomfortable all over her body.

No matter how embarrassing Li Ming was born, and how he pretended to be a young girl, he couldn't hide his inherent yang energy. Seeing that Chang Le had seen through the man's real body, he felt anxious, his face darkened, his eyes froze. With a ferocious light on his face, his lips parted slightly and his teeth bared, his handsome appearance was instantly ferocious and terrifying.

Chang Le staggered back again and again amidst the murderous aura, but forgot that he was by the lake, suddenly his feet were empty, and he was about to fall into the lake.

It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, Li Ming made a stride, flashed to Chang Le, stretched out his arms, lifted Chang Le, flew across the air, and put her down seven or eight feet away from the lake.

Chang Le, who escaped from the danger, was still in shock, and looked at Li Ming blankly. Li Ming himself was also puzzled, and he glanced at Chang Le anxiously, and jumped away.

Now Changle told Zhao Rang about the matter in detail, and after Zhao Rang had finished listening, before he could speak, a servant rushed in and knelt down to report: "The empress is here!"
