Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

What happened afterwards was both strange and familiar to Han Yan.In the early court, Da Xing used the reason that "mother is more valuable than children" to say that His Majesty named Li Ji the queen, and all the princelings headed by Dou Ying agreed.Emperor Jing, who had already had a suspicion of Li Ji, was furious, and after killing Da Xing who had spoken out, he was full of anger.Within a few days, Weiyang Palace issued a decree to demote the crown prince Liu Rong to be the King of Linjiang, and set off for the fiefdom immediately, not to stay for long.As for Li Ji, she was thrown into the cold palace.

With the acquiescence of such powerful figures as Empress Dowager Dou, the great changes happened with lightning speed, and by the time Li Ji reacted, everything had been settled.Only the shrill screams in the cold palace every day and night reminded everyone of the existence of the beloved concubine of the Fengyun harem for decades.

Within a few months, someone from Linjiang came to Beijing to report that the former crown prince Liu Rong was building a large-scale construction project in Linjiang, and even occupied the position of the ancestral temple, suspected of treason and usurpation.Emperor Jing was furious when he heard the words.He ordered Zhidu to go to Jiangling and suppress Liu Rong back to Beijing.Throw it directly into the prison.Wei Qihou Dou Ying went to visit Liu Rong in the prison on the first day he returned to Beijing. Liu Rong handed over the [-]-character letter of love he had written to Dou Ying, hoping that he would pass it on to Emperor Jing to identify his innocence.Nai Hezhi seized all the bamboo slips on the grounds that "the perpetrators are not allowed to communicate with outsiders".Dou Ying had no choice but to kneel in front of Weiyang Palace for a day and a night begging His Majesty to investigate the case carefully.Emperor Jing kept Wei Qihou Dou Ying's papers, and handed over all matters to Goshawk Zhidu for handling.Zhi Du was already at odds with Li Ji, and now he is Liu Zhi's teacher. His attitude towards Liu Rong is that even if he picks out three catties of bones from an egg, what Liu Rong did is all true.It didn't take long for the final conclusion to be handed over to Emperor Jing.

At the same time, all the guards in the prison insulted and ridiculed Liu Rong in order to please Zhizhi, and even the food was rotten. When did Liu Rong suffer such insults? I thought Emperor Jing would pardon him after reading the love letter. All his hopes came to nothing, and within a few days he wrote a suicide note and hanged himself.

And all of this has nothing to do with Han Yan, at least on the surface.Like any ordinary child, he followed Liu She and Gillian to Changle Palace to accompany the blind old queen every day.This strange woman who has power in the government and the public has left a strong pen and ink in history is now nothing but a lonely old man.When the weather is fine, I will go for a walk in the Imperial Garden to bask in the sun. When the weather is cold, I will suffer from swelling and pain in the waist and knees and cannot sleep at night.According to memory, Han Yan silently handed over the formula of Hongmao Medicinal Wine to the imperial physician for review, and then delivered it to Queen Mother Dou every day. After insisting on it for two or three months, the situation eased a lot.The Empress Dowager Dou was so happy that she smiled every time she saw Han Yan.Even Han Yan's status in the harem has risen sharply.Coupled with his young age and outstanding appearance, some palace eunuchs and even Ji concubines of lower status are fawning on him, telling him some things that happened in the palace as jokes from time to time, and Han Yan reciprocates. These novelty and exquisite gadgets attract people's hearts, and after a long time, his eyes and ears will become much sharper.At least he already knows what influence Wang Meiren has in the palace.The abolition of the prince made Han Yan used to Wang Meiren's means and way of thinking, but after more than ten years...

"Ayan, what are you thinking?" Empress Dowager Dou's old but very rhythmic voice sounded beside her ears.Han Yan came back to her senses, looked at Queen Mother Dou and said with a slight smile: "I'm thinking about some food supplements that are beneficial to the body. The so-called medicine is three-point poisonous. Instead of taking medicine all the year round, it is better to pay more attention to diet. It will be better if you persist for many years." It can achieve twice the result with half the effort. At least it is much better than eating these bitter soups."

"You still have the heart, and you still think about my old lady's body. Gong Gaohou is lucky to have such a sensible grandson like you!" After hearing this, Queen Dowager Dou smiled more and more lovingly.After thinking about it, he asked hesitantly, "Will the recipe work?"

Naturally, it works. Han Yan couldn't help showing a smile of nostalgia when she thought of the nutrition masters hired at a great price and the various laboratories under her for researching food science. "It's still useful, not to mention that it's just some food. After eating it, it can also maintain health and beauty. After a long time, people will feel refreshed and their body will be much lighter."

Among other things, the old man of his family is more than 300 years old and still alive and kicking like a young man in his twenties. This recipe has played a part of the credit.Of course, the main contributor is the cell resurrection technology developed by the laboratory.

"It can also beautify the skin! Does it have such a miraculous effect?" The eldest princess Liu Xun listened with gusto and interjected.

"It's okay!" Han Yan replied with a smile, and looked at the eldest princess without a trace, and found that there were fine white hairs on her temples and some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and said immediately: "I have three Prescription, one for internal use and two for external application, the eldest princess might as well try it first, it will have some effect in about a week."

As Han Yan spoke, she picked up a brush on the desk beside her and silenced Fang Zi.Then give it to the eldest princess.In fact, it is some detoxification, whitening and anti-wrinkle things in later generations, as well as the secret recipe for black hair.They were all researched by the previous research and development department under the company. Han Yan used to spend a lot of effort to memorize them in order to please the women around her.

The eldest princess looked at Fang Zi suspiciously, and then put it away.In view of Han Yan's previous reputation and reputation, the eldest princess is still willing to believe it, and even if she doesn't have it, she has to experiment.Waking up every morning and looking at my aging face in the mirror is really uncomfortable.

Listening to the interaction between the two, Empress Dowager Dou asked curiously: "If it is really useful, I will leave a copy for the Ai family. The prescription that Ah Yan gave to the imperial physician last time is really good. My waist and legs are much lighter."

"Ayan's prescription is naturally effective. My mother originally had a cold stomach problem. After these two months of treatment by Ayan, the effect is much better. Stomach pain is not very common. Even the emperor praised Ayan. The prescription is good." Listening to what Queen Mother Dou said, Liu She immediately ran over to advertise to Han Yan.Gillian who was following behind also nodded in agreement with a smile.

"That's right! In the past, the Empress Dowager and her elders couldn't even sleep well every night on rainy days, and the servants were also anxious. Now the situation is much better. Mr. Ayan really deserves the reputation of being the first son of Chang'an, and he lives up to his name." Nanny Li, who was waiting on her, also spoke in line with the truth.She has been serving Queen Mother Dou since she was a child, and she is definitely Queen Mother Dou's first-class confidant.Han Yan knew that such a person was the least to be offended, so she adjusted the prescription just now to focus on black hair detoxification, clearing the intestines and stomach, and defecation, and then handed it over to Madam Li.And said: "This prescription is slightly different from the one given to the eldest princess before. It focuses on clearing the stomach. The queen mother will often go to the toilet for the first three days after taking it. Don't worry. It will be fine after that."

"Understood." Nanny Li replied with a smile.Then he put away Fang Zi and walked behind Empress Dowager Dou.

Han Yan picked up some old people's favorite stories and told them.Empress Dowager Dou is getting older, and her energy is not as good as before. After a while, she loses energy. Han Yan and others looked at the situation and immediately resigned.When walking out of Changle Palace, the eldest princess led Liu Zhi and Gillian to the front, and Han Yan deliberately stepped behind and said to Li Nanny who sent everyone out of the palace: "Li Nanny's recent hand bones and knee joints are Isn't it swollen and painful all the time?"

Nanny Li immediately said in surprise: "That's the case. As I get older, I naturally find all my illnesses. Mr. Ayan, this is..."

"This is a prescription written by Ah Yan for Mammy's situation. Mammy can try it." Han Yan smiled and took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Nanny Li.Nanny Li came out of the Clothes Bureau when she was young, and she did a lot of hard work. The situation was different from Queen Mother Dou, and the prescriptions given to Queen Mother Dou were naturally not suitable for Nanny Li.What's more, Madam Li's status is limited, so she dare not eat some expensive medicinal materials.Han Yan's prescription paid special attention to these.

Nanny Li looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, and nodded a little touched.Han Yan smiled, turned around and caught up with the eldest princess and others who had gone far ahead.Liu Zhi was looking back frequently!When Han Yan arrived in front of her, she immediately asked, "What did you do, you came up so slowly?"

"It's nothing, let's have a few words with Madam Li." Han Yan said casually.The eldest princess in front of her was moved, and turned her head to look at him thoughtfully.

After arriving at the Qilan Hall, the endless stream of colorful flowers in the main hall made Han Yan and the two of them look at each other with wry smiles, went in and greeted Wang Meiren, and then walked out. It was so far away from the main hall that they could still hear the noisy people inside. Flattery.

Sure enough, it was red and white, so realistic that people were speechless.

Back to Han Yan's small courtyard, there was silence.Because Han Yan hates too much flattery, and because he is just a servant, the Qilan Palace, whose floor tiles and roof are all red, is a rare and clean place.However, the flower and plant decoration inside has been refurbished once, showing off grace everywhere.

The two went to the study to sit down first, and after a while, Zhi also arrived.

Zhi Du was a strict and strong person, even when he saw His Majesty, he didn't smile warmly, and he was even more solemn in front of the two of them.He is good at the way of legalism, but the enlightenment teaching for the prince naturally does not know the things of legalism.Therefore, he is still talking about the "Tao Te Ching", but the pure and inaction "Tao Te Ching" still has some legalist flavor when he speaks it out of his mouth.Han Yan had to sigh again and again.

The two-hour lecture was over in a short time, and Zhi Du held multiple jobs, and he was an extremely pragmatic person. After re-examining the school's teaching yesterday, he felt that there was no such omission, so he packed up his books and left in a hurry.

After it was confirmed that Zhi could not go any farther, and no one would eavesdrop, Liu Zhi happily walked up to Han Yan, and whispered mysteriously: "I have good news for you, mother said Father has already agreed to make me the crown prince."

Han Yan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Liu Zhi's eyeballs rolling wildly.Putting his hands on Liu Zhi's head and rubbing his bun, he also whispered, "It's not that easy."

The crown prince must be established, but it will take nearly a year.

"Why, that's what the emperor himself said. What's more, the prince is gone. His majesty has said so well, can he still go back on his word?" Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked.But suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Ayan, do you think the prince really conspired against him?

Han Yan didn't say a word. In this matter, Wang Meiren's every move was under his nose, including how she sent people to instigate Liu Rong's large-scale construction projects, how she arranged for people to write a report, and how...

But now that the dead are dead, what's the use of talking about it?

Isn't that what the scenery in the palace is all about, every bit of the magnificence needs to be stained with blood.Winners and losers, there is nothing to question.

Han Yan ignored Liu Zhi's question and just pointed in the direction of Liang Guo. "The matter of the prince is over, Your Highness should worry about that side!"

"You mean?" Liu She raised his eyebrows in disbelief.After receiving Han Yan's affirmative reply, she immediately said in shock: "Impossible! He is the younger brother of the emperor, how can there be any reason for the succession from brother to brother?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Didn't that Changle Palace always think about this matter?" Han Yan analyzed with her mouth curled up.Empress Dowager Dou knows about the persistence of making Liang Wang the emperor. Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows it.

"Then what should I do?" After all, Liu Zhi was still young and didn't have the mentality of the city later, so he immediately asked a little anxiously.

"I heard from my grandfather that the King of Liang has sent a lot of confidantes to mediate in the capital, and I'm afraid he will go to Weiyang Palace in a few days." Han Yan said in a low voice.Naturally, his news did not come from Gong Gaohou's mansion, that's what was written in the history books.

"..." Liu Zhi's complexion changed drastically, and he didn't speak, and sat beside Han Yan in a daze, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

"So you can't always play around with Gillian when you go to Changle Palace every day. The main thing is Empress Dowager Dou's side... The old man is soft-hearted. She will love whoever is with her and who is filial to her." Han Yan Said with a smirk.

"Of course I will be filial. Didn't you say that? Filial piety is the first thing to do. The big man rules the world with filial piety, so I can do it naturally." Liu Zhi said in a somewhat ignorant manner.Staring at Han Yan, I always felt that he hesitated to speak.

"I'm not talking about filial piety. No matter how filial you are, you can be as filial as King Liang, that's her son." Han Yan analyzed with a smile: "The filial piety I'm talking about is just obedience."

"Everything is obedient and everything is obedient?" Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and repeated thoughtfully.

"Yes." Han Yan replied with a smile.The reason why Empress Dowager Dou had repeated attitudes about Liu Zhi's canonization of the crown prince was because she was afraid that Liu Zhi would only listen to Wang Meiren and would not be of the same mind with her in the future.This old man's obsession with power has penetrated to the bone.

"In this way, grandma will agree with my father to make me the crown prince?" Liu Zhi asked suspiciously.After all, he has also heard a little about Queen Mother Dou's persistence in letting her majesty pass on the throne to King Liang.Could it be that he reversed it in just a few days?

"Of course not." Han Yan said as a matter of course.Seeing Liu Zhi staring at him with some annoyance, he said slowly: "The news about the King of Liang is just wishful thinking between the Queen Mother and the King of Liang. Let alone Your Majesty, it will be difficult for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. She wants to pass on the news about King Liang. , will undoubtedly push all of His Majesty's heirs to a dead end. Can civil and military officials agree? Can Zongzheng agree? Can other princes agree? Wouldn't the government be in chaos then? Not to mention others, even my grandfather and grandpa would not Agreed."

"Then you still say—" Liu Zhi asked with his eyes wide open.He felt that he had been played around by Han Yan for so long.

"I'm not talking about King Liang. Your Highness doesn't need to be more filial than King Liang. You just need to compare with King Hejian." Han Yan said her ultimate goal with a smile.

"Liu De?" Liu Zhi repeated in surprise.

"That's right. Liu De is His Majesty's second son. The crown prince was deposed, so logically he is His Majesty's eldest son. Now he is seventeen or eighteen years old. He is much more mature and stable than you, little Douding." Han Yan ignored Liu With an angry gaze, he continued: "The crown prince has been abolished, and the princelings in the court have no backbone. Naturally, all the power is put on King Hejian. After all, he is also the prince's first mother and brother. For those princelings, Supporting him is no different from supporting the prince. So the attitude of Changle Palace is the key."

Han Yan said that her mouth was dry, and she reached out and poured herself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp. "The Eldest Princess will naturally speak for His Highness, so there is no need to worry about that. Your Highness just needs to make the Queen Mother feel at ease."

Liu Zhi nodded silently. He thought that he could finally feel proud, but suddenly found that his position was still so precarious, and he was still young, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit depressed.

Han Yan also knew Liu Zhi's current state of mind.When he started his business for the first time, he thought he could be the master, but he found that the people around him were all the confidantes of his grandfather, father and even brother. Became dispirited.Coupled with the fact that he is a lazy person, fortunately he doesn't care about family affairs, and concentrates on being a dude who helps the family spend money and circulate currency in the society, so everyone is happy.

But Liu Zhi obviously didn't think so.Of course, his situation didn't allow him to think like that, if he didn't enter, he would die.Sometimes the family struggles in ancient times were more cruel than those in later generations.Thinking of the former prince Liu Rong who committed suicide in prison for treason a few days ago, Han Yan sighed because she didn't understand.

During the time of speaking, the palace guard next to Wang Meiren came over and said that Wang Meiren asked the two of them to go over.Han Yan and the two were stunned for a while, and quickly got up and walked to the main hall.

When we arrived at the main hall, there was no one else inside except Wang Meiren.Today's Wang Meiren is sitting at the head of the hall, her brows are full of confidence and modesty, and she is becoming more and more dignified and virtuous.It was completely gone from the shabbiness of being cautious before.Looking at Liu Zhi who was striding towards the door, the two couldn't help but raised the corners of their lips, stretched out their hands and called out: "Come here quickly, mother will lead you to see Sister Li Ji."

Han Yan couldn't help but pause when she heard the words, what is this Wang Meiren?She flaunted her strength just after she had achieved success, and wanted to show off her pride in front of Li Ji, who had been suppressing her all this time?Wang Meiren is not such a boring person!

"What is Ah Yan thinking? Don't worry! The situation is very different now, I won't let Li Ji hurt you." Wang Meiren said with a smile.She mistakenly thought that Han Yan was left behind by Li Ji's beating last time, so she couldn't help comforting her.

Han Yan saw Wang Meiren's expression and knew what Wang Meiren was thinking.He was also happy to be misunderstood at the moment, and replied with a smile: "But according to your mother's order."

"It's a pity that Ming Jin has to ask for leave today, otherwise it would be better to bring the three of you with me." Wang Meiren said nonchalantly.Then he said to Gong Bi beside him, "Are the clothes and cakes you prepared ready?"

"Reporting to your mother, everything is ready. The clothes are all high-quality brocade, and there are new quilts that can resist the cold and damp at night. The cakes are also the cakes that Mrs. Li loves to eat." Na Gongbi responded with a bow .

Hearing what she said, Han Yan couldn't help secretly praising her.Sure enough, she is Wang Meiren who is used to acting and pretending to be a virtuous person.No matter what she said to Li Ji at that time, just carrying things like this and earning a round in the palace, tomorrow Wang Meiren is virtuous and generous, and her reputation will spread throughout the harem regardless of previous suspicions!

"Sister Li Ji is very strong by nature and saves face the most. I've just heard the news of Rong'er's death, and I'm afraid she has been greatly stimulated. You should still address her as Empress Li Ji in front of her! To save her from feeling bad." Beauty Wang sighed , said softly.

"No!" That Gongbi responded immediately.He obediently changed his name. "All the things for Empress Li Ji are ready, when will Empress leave?"

"Let's go now!" Wang Meiren said, she stood up and took Liu Zhi and Han Yan's hands, "Let's go together!"

There is quite a distance from the Qilan Palace to the Leng Palace, and Wang Meiren was seen by many concubines with the appearance of carrying palace bags.Immediately, some concubines who came out for a stroll came to inquire.After learning of Wang Meiren's purpose, they all praised Wang Meiren's virtuousness and generosity.Those with good intentions followed behind and walked in the direction of the cold palace.For a while, Yingying Yanyan seemed to be going on an outing.

When it was time to arrive at the Leng Palace, he bumped into Madam Zheng Ji who had just come out of the palace, the gloating gloating eyes on her brows, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Wang Meiren and the others who were meeting them. "Why is my sister here?"

Wang Meiren smiled and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder, and I am worried that sister Li Ji will not be able to eat or sleep well inside, so I specially sent some food and clothing here. My sister is..."

Zheng Ji, who was a little embarrassed by Wang Meiren's question, smiled coyly, and replied vaguely: "I'm also here to take a look."

His eyes fell on the burden and the food box in Gong Bi's hands, and he smiled and flattered: "Sister is indeed a virtuous person. Then Li Ji made things difficult for you when she gained power. It's rare that you have a lot of adults now, and you help her regardless of past suspicions."

"She is also His Majesty's concubine Ji, we are all sisters. Why bother to make things difficult for each other!" Wang Meiren sighed, with a look of unbearable expression on her face. "Now that she's in such a difficult situation, Rong'er has this incident again. I can't bear to see it. I think it's the same for all the sisters, isn't it the same for the younger sister?"

"Of course, of course." Zheng Ji felt more and more embarrassed when she heard this.

It is true that Zheng Ji came to see Li Ji, but unfortunately her purpose was not as noble and kind as Wang Meiren said.When she first entered the palace, she was quite favored by His Majesty, but she didn't have the forbearance of Wang Meiren, and she confronted the sour and jealous Li Ji everywhere, so she didn't have a child yet.It can be said that she hates Li Ji to the bone.This time I came here to tell Li Ji the news of Prince Liu Rong's death.Of course, I don't know if she said anything ugly.However, compared with Wang Meiren in terms of means and mind, the judgment is judged.

Wang Meiren is also well aware of Zheng Ji's intentions, and she will not intentionally embarrass her.Immediately said with a gentle smile: "Then I will go in first. Sister, you are..."

"I've just seen it, so I won't go in! I still have something to do in the palace! I'll go first." Zheng Ji nodded with an unnatural expression, and walked past the crowd towards her palace. go.Walking in a hurry, people feel a little embarrassed and fleeing.

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed.Wang Meiren shook her head, and stepped into the dark cold palace...
