The imperial concubine bows down to me

"I don't want to do anything to you, I just want you to help defeat Shen Tai, that's all. He trusts you so much, even...you get him drunk and run out of the house in the middle of the night to come to this palace, he will not I will have any grievances against you. With your help, our chances of success will be almost stable." As he spoke, Liu Shuyan couldn't help but sighed deeply, picked up the jug and poured himself another glass of wine, Bian said, "I really can't figure it out. Once he became a prince, he wanted talent, talent, power and power, but why did he want to be so covetous to you, a person who knows he doesn't have him in his heart?"

Li Mulan snorted coldly: "Don't even think that I will do anything wrong for you, King Jin is my husband, how could I take his life because of your half-truths and half-false words?!"

"If I remember correctly, the princess wanted to marry His Highness the Crown Prince to be the Crown Princess, right? It's a pity that the Emperor rejected Li Mi's proposal that day. He had no choice but to let you marry Shen Tai, change another way to achieve his goal." Liu Shuyan said every sentence that made Li Mulan's heart skip a beat, the words were as light as if she was just an outsider watching the fun, none of which had anything to do with her, "Don't the concubine feel that it is not worth sacrificing her happiness in this life, or even her life, for Li Mi's illusory ambition of restoring the country? You should have married someone you like, a husband-in-law Godson, enjoy this life, instead of being trapped in conspiracy and struggle all your life, and have no peace. Besides, the princess thinks about the past, Li Mi has never regarded you as a daughter since she was a child, you are just a tool for him to achieve his ambitions, no ?"

What Liu Shuyan said was not at all wrong.

When Li Mulan was three years old, her mother passed away due to dystocia, leaving her and her younger brother behind.Because the two mothers were not married, even though the two were later adopted under the name of Mrs. Taiwei, Li Mi still did not show much care for them.

It wasn't until Li Mulan was six years old that the seeds of her world-renowned appearance began to gradually emerge, and then Li Mi noticed her and made up his mind about her.Since then, Li Mi has strictly disciplined her, making her practice literature and martial arts, calligraphy, playing the piano and painting day and night. Whenever she slack off, a thick and long whip will hit her young brother heavily. .She couldn't bear her younger brother's suffering and made her mother who was watching in the sky sad, so she had to obey Li Miyan, and finally became a beautiful and talented woman.When she was 14 years old, she was able to reach the level where if she was ranked second in the capital, even the person who ranked first would have to carefully consider it.

At that time, Shen Zhi was 12 years old. Seeing that the time was right, Li Mi was afraid that others would catch up with him if he delayed for a long time, so he mentioned this matter to Shen Tianhe.But who would have thought that when Shen Tianhe heard Li Mi's words, he refused without even thinking about it.In order not to leave hope for Li Mi, Shen Tianhe even said it very hard, saying that this matter is absolutely impossible.

Li Mi hit a wall, so he was naturally not reconciled. It was absolutely impossible to become a princess, so he came up with Shen Tai's idea again.As long as Shen Tai wins the throne, his daughter Li Mulan will still be the queen of Daguo.

In fact, Shen Tai had already met Li Mulan at that time, and had developed feelings for her, but at that time Li Mi controlled Li Mulan very strictly, and he hardly had time to see her.Later, Li Mi found out several times that Shen Tai went to the Taiwei's mansion with excuses because he wanted to see Li Mulan, so he followed suit and proposed to Shen Tianhe to betroth Li Mulan to Shen Tai.Although Li Mulan is a concubine, she is still the daughter of Mrs. Taiwei in name, Shen Tianhe didn't like to intervene in the minister's family affairs, and didn't know the details, Shen Tai also agreed with her, thinking that the two were in love, so she agreed, Make Li Mulan the concubine of Jin.

Shen Tai lost his father since he was a child, even with the care of Shen Tianhe and others, but no matter what, there are still some regrets.Li Mulan was oppressed by Li Mi for a long time when she was young, and when she got married, she felt like a bird out of the cage, and she released some of her nature. In addition, she noticed Shen Tai's gentle temperament, so she was not like an ordinary woman. He is very obedient and obedient, like a bird.And Shen Tai likes Li Mulan, coupled with her unusual temperament, the two complement each other and love each other, Shen Tai also gradually becomes more obsessed and devoted to Li Mulan.

The days passed day by day like this, but Li Mi's plan had to be started, so on an ordinary afternoon, he let go of the rumor that Li Mulan once fell in love with Shen Zhi very much.After Shen Tai learned about it, he felt very uncomfortable, but he could still bear it. Not long after, Li Mi let the news that Shen Tianhe wanted to pass the throne to his younger brother spread around.In addition, during that period of time, Shen Tai happened to encounter some obstacles in political affairs and did something wrong. Shen Tian just reprimanded him kindly. As time went by, under the encouragement of Li Mulan's persuasion, his temperament began to gradually change. up.

Then one day, Li Mi angered him and made him kill his younger brother with his own hands. Even if he didn't want to, things couldn't be turned back.He finally fell down on this road of no return, but within two years, the situation has developed into what it is today.

In fact, Liu Shuyan knew this because Wei Feng told her during the day.Before Wei Feng left the capital to become an official, Shen Tianhe treated him like a younger brother and respected his talent and learning even more. If it wasn't for Wei Qian'er who really didn't allow it, maybe Wei Feng would already be the Taiwei now.After that, even if Wei Feng went to Songzhou, there were some things that should be discussed with Wei Qian'er. If there was time, Shen Tianhe would not only ask Liu Shuyan what he thought, but also write to Wei Feng from time to time to ask for his opinion. .

"What are you doing telling me these things? Anyway, I won't help you guys kill him." Shen Tai was actually really kind to her. If she really liked Shen Tai, she would definitely be the best in this world. The happiest woman ever.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't convince herself to fall in love with Shen Tai.But even if she doesn't like Shen Tai, she is unwilling to hurt him now.

"I didn't ask you to kill him, I said ten thousand steps back, even if he really loses, according to the temperament of the emperor and His Highness, he won't hurt him at all. If you want, he can still be the prince, You can still be a princess, but you must be a king and concubine far away from the capital, and you will never be able to return to the capital for the rest of your life." This time, it was Liu Shuyan who raised an eyebrow at her, "And you betrayed, only It's just Li Mi who treats you like a pawn. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to exchange his life for the lives of your Li family?"

Up to now, Li Mulan hesitated in her heart, but still insisted on her face: "The imperial concubine also knows that the Li family treats me unfairly, so what about them is none of my business?"

"Princess, don't forget that there is still your favorite brother in the Taiwei's house. If there is no accident, he is probably already in the East Palace by now. Does the concubine want to see him, the son pays his father's debt, and replaces Li? Will Mi be punished?"

"You!" Li Mulan was choked up by Liu Shuyan's words, and wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to refute.

"In the past, even if you don't agree, there is still Shen Tai who can protect you. But now that Shen Tai is gone, if you don't agree, who can protect you and your younger brother?" Seeing that Li Mulan was silent for a long time, Liu Shuyan struck while the iron was hot again, "I just need the princess to tell Shen Tai one thing and convince him, it's that simple, the princess should think about it carefully. I'm going back to Penglai Hall to sleep, if the princess figured it out , you can come to find me anytime.”

After speaking, Liu Shuyan drank the new wine in the cup in one gulp, then stood up, making a gesture to leave.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she heard Li Mulan's firmer voice behind her: "Wait!"

In the afternoon of the second day, Shen Zhi summoned the important officials of the court to gather in the East Palace, and announced to his face that Li Mi had defected to Xiliang to treason the country, and immediately asked Wei Feng to surround the Taiwei's Mansion, strictly guarding and searching.Everyone was shocked and didn't know exactly what happened here, but no one dared to stand up to dissuade them.

Regarding King Jin and Prince Jin's Mansion, Shen Zhi never mentioned a single word, but at this time Shen Tai who was sitting in the study of King Jin's Mansion was still in a panic.

Last night he drank with Li Mulan until Ling Ding became very drunk, when he woke up this morning, Li Mulan came into the bedroom in a panic and told him that something serious happened.He sat up from the bed, and after hearing what she said, he realized that it was the pigeon that Li Mi sent her letters on weekdays, but this time it was Liu Shuyan's six-character letter with "wait and see" plus a title.It means that the secret letter originally sent by Li Mi to her has probably been intercepted by Liu Shuyan.

Shen Tai has always believed in Li Mulan's words, and this time is no exception.After eating some gruel in a dull manner, he went into the study, lay on the wooden chair, and thought carefully about how to deal with it next.

But before he could figure out what to do, the housekeeper's eager footsteps came from outside the door.

"My lord! My lord! Something is wrong!" He knocked on the door, wanting to shout loudly but restraining himself.

Shen Tai was already irritable, but now hearing the steward's voice, he frowned even more, rubbed his temples on the side of his forehead with some discomfort, and said impatiently: "Come in and talk."

The butler led the order to go in, and then he knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly: "My lord, the Taiwei's mansion was surrounded by the imperial army led by Guangluqing, and now they are searching everywhere inside! I heard... I heard it was the Taiwei. On the way to escort the grain and grass, the Lord took refuge in Xiliang, defected and betrayed the country... this... this..."

This matter was originally expected by Shen Tai. After hearing about it, he was not too excited. Instead, he asked, "Did the prince mention this king... or the princess?" He was more concerned about whether Shen Zhi would treat Li Mulan or not. How about it.

"This...it's not." The housekeeper thought about the words of the person who came to inform him just now, and then he responded with some certainty.

Hearing this, Shen Tai just breathed a sigh of relief, but outside the door came the footsteps of another person who was more anxious than the butler just now.When he reached the door, he almost scrambled and fell into the study: "My lord! Something is wrong, my lord!" He panted heavily, his face flushed red.

"What's the matter?" Shen Tai was annoyed, he slapped the table and stood up, asking sharply.

"My lord...Guang Luqing, he...when they were searching the Taiwei's mansion, a carrier pigeon cultivated by the Taiwei just happened to fly back to the mansion! It's...it was written to the princess to explain how to cooperate internally and externally. , now that Guangluqing has gone to report the matter to the prince, I guess they will come to arrest him in a while!" The man said, his legs trembling uncontrollably, "My lord! Think about it! Find a way, my lord!"
