Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 173 Fear

Since the fight with Wei Huan, I haven't entered the palace for [-] consecutive days.

This time she struck really ruthlessly, at that time it was just a faint pain, when she got out of the palace and went home, when she lay down on the bed, she felt like her whole body was falling apart, and she felt sore everywhere, she quietly took off her clothes to take a look, but I saw several bruises on my legs, waist and waist. Although they were not so serious that I couldn't move them, they were the worst injuries I have ever suffered in my life.

I was really angry and hated, and I had no temper with Wei Huan, so I simply said that my heart hurts, and I refused to go out at home.Anyway, I'm a princess, I don't want to earn money to support my family, and I don't want to sit in the government office. I don't have much contact with my relatives, except that my mother and brother and sister-in-law can occasionally think of me and go to the palace to talk, I really have nothing serious.Both my mother and Li Rui happened to be very busy at these times, and neither of them ever summoned me.As for Wei Huan, not to mention, not only did she not come to see me, but even when I sent people to deliver things and messages to her, she would only reply with a few official words—if these three people had not sent people I have rewarded me several times, and I really doubt that I have not left the palace, but have entered the prison and become an orphan.

In fact, just after the fight that day, on the way to see my mother with Wei Huan, she talked to me a lot, most of which were small things about dressing and eating. Although I like her concern for me, but She tossed and repeated only a few words, she wanted to talk to her about something serious, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "I know what's in my heart, don't worry about it", she just treated me like a child.

I was annoyed by what she said, and the more I listened, the more perfunctory I became. When I saw that she called Song Foyou, Xiaolang, and Xianxian over again, and took out the empress' money to scold me, I became even more impatient, and said "" Sister-in-law take care of her own affairs first, my people, I can take care of myself, don’t bother my sister-in-law to intervene”, but she turned her face and ignored me along the way. Mentioning my illness openly and secretly, my mother casually sent Wei Xun to bring two apprentices to my house. Not only did I pay the thanks and offerings, but I also took care of things in my house. She thought my room was not well furnished. , too boring, not conducive to recuperation, suddenly felt that the cats and dogs raised in my yard are too lively, running around is easy to startle people, I heard that I have been lying on the bed for a long time, so I sent a servant to come in and ask me to go out for a walk , when I was going to have activities in the yard, draw bows and arrows, and wield wooden knives, he said that I should not make any big moves this year—even Dugu Shao once invited me to watch a play in Ci’en Temple, everyone was well invited and the venue was covered The dinner and banquet were also set up, but he thought it was too noisy. When Dugu Shao saw that it was the royal doctor in the palace, he thought I had some serious illness, so he was so frightened that he sent someone to ask me several times.I told her again and again that I was fine. After all, she didn't dare to come to my door easily, and went to hang out with those army friends instead.

I think it's probably because of these messy little things that I have some resentment, so although I miss her to death, I still just stay at home and have no energy.

Contrary to my lethargy, Zheng Bo is very busy these days.

On the second day after I came back, Li Rui issued an edict, asking him to rebuild the hot spring palace as a supervisor.What Li Rui meant was that since the palace is to be lived in by his mother, it must be extravagant regardless of the price. It can be completed this year, and at the beginning of next year, I can send my mother there to retire there.

Zheng Bonian was not yet crowned and was still studying in the Hongwen Museum. He suddenly took on such a big errand, and built it for his wife, mother, and current empress dowager. At first I was able to come back in the evening, but gradually I lived there, returning to the city only once in three or five days, but I often sent people to write letters to me, the handwriting was very beautiful, and the writing was also sincere.

I don't like the nasty words he wrote to me, but I really like to see him mention the experience of leaving the palace: he took office at a young age, he was afraid of making mistakes, and he was cautious in everything, even in his letters to me, he would inevitably mention some official duties, There is also a lot of confusion mixed in, some of which seem ridiculous to me, but it’s just that his brother-in-law doesn’t understand the sufferings of the people. For example, he once said that his subordinates are very warm-hearted, and he always does things quickly, But it always fails to do well, and sometimes it takes too much force to do it.I knew at a glance that it was clear that the subordinates were bullying him when he was young and ignorant, and were perfunctory to him, and pretended to be submissive, so they wrote back to him and told him to pay attention to the normal relationship between these officials and how they were divided into several factions. He secretly went to talk to a group of people who were not in power, and at the same time set a standard for everything, and when he ordered something, he must immediately decide how far he must go, and how much manpower and material resources he had to spend. If he couldn't do it, no matter what excuse he had If it is necessary to strictly implement rewards and punishments, it is better to punish people and appease them later than to break the standard in public.Zheng Bo did as I said, and a few days later he wrote back angrily saying that those people were indeed deceiving him, but he still thought they were so nice.When I wrote the letter, I was actually more or less like Zhao Kuo talking about soldiers. When I saw that it was really effective, I was very happy in my heart, and I was more willing to ask him for advice.

Seeing that I liked it, Zheng Bo gradually mentioned more about official affairs, not only the construction, but also the customs and customs near the Li Palace, the common people's fields, and all the novel things he found.It touched my heart, I mentioned it once, and said that I would go out of the city to see him, and take a picnic, but he would not let me see it, because he was afraid that I would be willful, so he rushed back to the city that day, and persuaded a lot of lies about health preservation , and insisted on talking about books and characters with me, and I reluctantly went out until the second watch. The next day, I asked the boy to bring me many small toys, such as small wooden buckets, small wells, bamboo sticks, etc. The little waterwheel, the little paper kite, and the messy flowers and grasses, etc., filled two baskets full of small bamboo baskets I found somewhere.

Those little playthings are fine, but I think those two bamboo baskets are very interesting, so people hang them in the study and look at them from time to time, as if I have become a farmer's wife, far away from the hustle and bustle of Beijing.And the day after the bamboo basket was hung on the wall, there was a reward in the palace. Princess Wei sent Qiqi, her most powerful palace maid, to give me ten gold wares, two of which were small bamboo baskets made of gold, and two The piece was a little gold windmill, as tacky as it could be.

I asked people to send all the ten pieces of gold to be melted that day. I originally wanted to make a statue of a heavenly statue, but I gave up my long-term optimism. Then I thought about my mother's worship of Buddha, so I changed my mind and added an extra [-] yi of gold. I plan to build a Buddha statue to celebrate my mother's birthday in the coming year.

When the craftsmen sent the first Buddha statue, news of Li Sheng's death came from the palace.

Zheng Bo knew the news earlier than I did, and rushed back from outside the city on the spot to accompany me into the palace.On the way, he told me about the news he came to me one after another: I heard that on the day Wei Huan and I fought, someone informed the prime minister on duty, saying that Li Sheng was on the way to hook up with foreign officials and plot wrongdoings.Naturally, the prime minister didn't dare to be self-reliant, so he quickly reported the matter to his mother and Li Rui.For such a serious crime, no matter whether it is true or not, someone must be sent to investigate, so it was agreed before the imperial court that Qiu Shenji was ordered to interrogate.After this is the story of the deposed prince who refused to be interrogated by his subordinates and committed suicide by taking poison.As for where the poison came from, and what happened when he died, no one knows.

I thought that since I already knew Li Sheng's ending, I shouldn't be sad.However, when he really heard the news of his death, he felt that something was touched in his heart.Tears flowed silently, not many, but not many.My heart was silently blocked, not to the point of heartache, but extremely uncomfortable.

It was a living life, the life of my brother in this body, who had been the prince of the Tang Dynasty for 20 years.Now this life has passed away so silently, and I don't even know the exact time of death.

I don't know if he died peacefully, and I don't know if he had any resentment before his death. I only know that his life was much more important than mine and Wei Huan's.When I was born, he was already the crown prince. Our young children lived with our parents in the Daming Palace. The places where we usually go about our daily activities are only near the Zichen Palace. Chariots and the like are superfluous. Or the wives come here because they are young, they can meet each other calmly, talk when they want to talk, and don't talk when they don't want to talk, and they are not very restrained in etiquette.

But Li Sheng was different.He lives alone in the East Palace, and every time he comes here, he has to bring a mighty guard of honor. When he meets people, whether they are ministers, clansmen or wives, they are all well-behaved, and there is no lack of majesty that should be there.Even when Li Rui and I saw him, we had to obediently visit him, answer carefully, and occasionally take him when we were mischievous. It didn't feel like going out with an elder brother, it was more like going out with a father.But in my memory, the most outrageous thing he did, the least like a crown prince, was taking Li Rui and me to catch ghosts in Ruzhou that year.

In fact, sometimes Li Rui and I fear him more than our father, because our father is often just an ordinary middle-aged man in front of us, but he is the crown prince and is completely different from us. It has been engraved in our blood since then.

Such a person died in such embarrassment.

And if even Li Sheng died like this, what about Li Rui?And me?What about Wei Huan?

Wei Huan said that Li Sheng was called to Beijing by Li Rui, and his mother didn't want him to die.However, if this is the case, why would Qiu Shenji, a well-known cruel official who had a relationship with Li Sheng in the past, be sent to the trial instead of others?Li Rui summoned Li Sheng to Beijing, did mother really not know anything about it, and couldn't stop it at all?Li Rui didn't know the consequences at first, didn't he know when he saw Qiu Shenji sent for interrogation?With what mood did he make such a decision?That was the same mother and elder brother whom he supported and relied on.

Is Wei Huan lying to me again, or does he really not know?What does she think about her mother, and what does her mother think about her?Did they reach some kind of deal in private, so Wei Huan would swear that I should leave her alone?Or is Wei Huan just sure that Li Rui is the only son left for his mother, so he has nothing to fear?

From the mother's point of view, the two sons can still restrain each other and balance carefully, but the only son is a great threat. Will the mother really be willing to depose Li Rui and make his son emperor again?If the mother really did this, how can she safely keep Wei Huan, the son and mother in name?Then how will she deal with Wei Huan's status?

After a month of staying away from the hustle and bustle, I finally felt the involuntary fear of people in high places again, but I didn't know who I should be afraid of.
