[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

Qing Qiang moved a bench and sat at the gate of Zhaoyang Hall, anxiously waiting for Gao Yan to make his choice.This was destined to be a long and boring waiting process, so she simply handed over all the trivial matters of the Internal Service Bureau to Wang Xuan, and sat in front of the door with Miss Gu Zhensu, eating melon seeds and chatting about gossip.

The little girl Gu Zhensu showed great dissatisfaction with Gao Yan, and hummed: "If you have a new love, you will forget the old love. I will go out of the palace and go home to find A Niang."

In this regard, Qing Qiang said that she did not want to express any opinions.

During this long three-day wait, a torrential rain fell and the thunder roared all night.Lengque sent the news that through Miss He Rui's unremitting efforts, Lu Zhen finally contracted the cold, and had already packed her bags and went to the meditation center to recuperate.

Most of the medicinal materials in the palace are hard to come by and are very expensive. The palace people are not qualified to take medicine when they are usually sick.It is said to be recuperating, but in fact it is to wait for death. Since a few years ago, the Jingxinyuan has always been a place like a pile of graves.

Leng Que's words were full of regret, thinking that Lu Zhen would probably die in the Jingxinyuan after going to the Jingxinyuan, and that the grand plans and great careers of the empress dowager died just like that. She is really a warrior guarding her homeland, Amitabha.

After hearing the news, Zhaojun showed a calm heroism, nodded and went to embroider her mountain and river picture again.

The Hall of Renshou who got the news has been quiet, except for Gao Yan's daily greetings and meals, he only stayed at Yang Meiren's place overnight, which is very unusual.After all, he couldn't make a choice between a new love and an old love, so he had to find another new love.From this point of view, he still favored Xiao Huanyun in his heart.

And in the past few days, Lou Zhao ordered someone to send a message into the palace, saying that Gao Zhan, who was carrying out the task of sending Zhou, had finished the task half a day ago, but he still stayed near Bei Zhou.Lou Zhao speculates that Gao Zhan's trip is probably to unite the small border countries, and when the time comes to unify the troops, it will also form a force that cannot be underestimated.

After Zhaojun got the news, he rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and said to the confidant who sent the letter: "If you go back to Ah Zhao, just say try to hold Gao Zhan back, and don't let him go back to the palace for the time being. Well, those small countries Clan let him go."

The man responded and left.

Qing Qiang gnawed on a pig's trotter in sauce, and looked at the man's back as he walked closer, muttering: "If the king of the mountain really united with the forces of the small countries, we will probably die. There is trouble, shouldn't Auntie consider expanding the strength of our Great Qi?"

Zhaojun glanced at her, and said, "How do you say to expand?"

Qing Qiang rubbed her chin, asked and answered: "Bei Zhou has always been at odds with us, but Emperor Chen is low-key, and he maintains a neutral attitude. We can recruit him into the group, and then we will have the strength of Chen Guo. Even if the King of the Mountain unites with Northern Zhou, he will do nothing to us."

Zhaojun glanced at the handful of oily sauce on her chin indifferently, and silently took a step sideways to distance herself from her, and said, "How do you think to pull Emperor Chen..." Thinking for a while , and finally used the term occupation.

Qing Qiang coughed: "I heard that Emperor Chen has a daughter who was registered as Princess Tongchang. She is beautiful, respectful and virtuous, and is regarded as the jewel in the palm of the Emperor Chen's palm. If we can get Princess Tongchang as his wife , Emperor Chen will naturally help us."

Zhaojun, no, no, no words.

In fact, this seems a very attractive idea, but this situation has to make people think of the scene when Gao Huan borrowed troops from Rouran in order to consolidate Daqi.Like the Yu family, since Princess Tongchang is the treasure in the palm of the Emperor Chen, naturally she will not be wronged to marry her as a concubine.

If Princess Tongchang wants to marry, she must be the queen.

It is obvious that Xiao Huanyun is not Lou Zhaojun back then, she controls the harem, and it is absolutely impossible for her to voluntarily give up the position of queen.Therefore, looking at the overall situation of the world today, most of the royal family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were violent. The ruler of the Southern Wei Dynasty was over fifty, his son had already married a wife and had children, and his grandson was nine years old at the time.Only the two princes of the Daqi royal family are about the same age as Princess Tongchang, and the first prince married a wife before he ascended the throne, and the second prince Gao Zhan is a young talent with both civil and military skills.

Therefore, when the Lord Chen sent troops to support Gao Zhan, he had fully considered it.

Zhaojun rubbed his forehead, feeling that Qing Qiang's unintentional reminder reminded her of such a hidden danger.The last time she died early, I don't know what happened afterwards.However, based on this speculation, maybe Gao Zhan accepted the Lord of Chen, and he sent troops to congratulate Gao Zhan. After Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he married Princess Tongchang as his queen.

Compared with Gao Yan, Gao Zhan is obviously a more suitable son-in-law candidate.

Zhaojun was silent for a long time, and ordered with Qing Qiang: "You go out of the palace and go to the general's mansion to find the younger brother of the Ai family, that is, your uncle, and ask him to use the secret agents of the Lou family to investigate the Emperor Chen and his colleagues. Princess Chang."

Qing Qiang was concentrating on gnawing on the pig's trotters, when she heard Zhaojun's words, she quickly responded, licked the sauce on her hands, and left.When he stepped out of the palace gate, he happened to meet the little girl Gu Zhensu who came in. The little girl moved to the side in disgust, giving her some space.Qing Qiang paused, wiped two coats of sauce on her face, and then walked away contentedly across the threshold.

Zhaojun looked up and saw the little girl, and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong?"

The little girl made a sad expression and said: "The aunt who takes care of me on weekdays doesn't care about me anymore."

Zhaojun asked suspiciously, "Which one are you talking about?"

The little girl made two gestures out of thin air: "The one who always wears purple clothes."

Suddenly, Zhaojun said: "Oh, you said her." After a pause, he asked in doubt: "What's wrong with her?"

The little girl said: "Go to the Defu Hall to join in the fun."

Zhaojun frowned, and said, "Defu Hall? Isn't that the sleeping hall of Yang Guiren?"

The little girl spread her hands, indicating that she didn't know either.

Something happened in the Telford Palace, and it was a big one.The news spread very quickly, even if the little girl Gu Zhensu didn't know what to ask, Zhaojun could still get the news she wanted from others.

In just a moment, Zhaojun already knew everything from others.

Yang Guiren in the Jiafu Palace passed away early this morning. According to the maids present, Yang Guiren has always been sick, which was brought out from her mother's womb. She will be fine if she doesn't get angry or lose her temper on weekdays. s things.Because of this disease, she developed a very quiet temperament, and now when the willow catkins are blooming in spring, she hides in her room every day and does not go out.

But early this morning, when the maid who was waiting for her to wash opened the door, she saw her lying on the ground in all her clothes, her hands covering her throat in pain, her expression was stiff, her whole body was already cold.

Been dead for a long time.

The casements on the side of the hall were wide open, and sometimes the wind would blow through, causing a few velvet-like catkins to float into the room.

Everyone said that Yang Guiren wanted to blow air in the middle of the night and opened the window, causing the spring breeze to blow the catkins into the window, which caused her illness, and then she died.

But the palace people who served Yang Guiren said that the nobleman has that kind of disease, and the doors and windows are closed tightly on weekdays, and no one dares to open the windows.

Moreover, the emperor took pity on the nobleman and gave him the Defu Hall for the nobleman to live in. You need to know that although the Defu Hall is located in the air, there are no willows or other green plants planted nearby. It is absolutely impossible for catkins to float in.

Probably because of the great sadness, it is said that the emperor lost his temper on the spot and ordered people to check along the direction of the wind, but nothing happened in the end.

Everyone felt that Yang Guiren died in an accident, and there was nothing he could do except sigh a few times.

But Lengque sent back news that night, saying that the inner prisoner who went to investigate where the willow catkins came from had a sudden illness and died. Before his death, his words vaguely mentioned that he had hired someone to plant willows in the upper wind. After Gao Yan heard this, he was furious, and all the newly made Qinglan teacups were swept down by him with a wave of his sleeve, smashing them into a pile of pieces.

This matter ended here, and Yang Guiren was like those concubines who had looked at Gao Yan, laughed and talked with Gao Yan in the Changshan Palace in the past.

If you think about it with your toes, you should understand who moved the hands.

Obviously, this incident has become a kind of vigilance, and the new concubines who usually like to dress up and show off their heads in the garden have finally settled down.Zhaojun used to go out for a walk in the early morning and always met a concubine who came to chat up and say hello after walking a few steps. It was really miserable.And after this incident, no matter how much she wandered around, she could only meet Xiao Huanyun.

Mostly because of being neglected for a long time, Xiao Huanyun is much calmer than before, but such an unruly temperament cannot be suppressed no matter what.

The bluestone path is full of Buddha bells, and the white flower cups are above the long and narrow green leaves, looking from a distance like a sea of ​​plain white flowers.Xiao Huanyun covered the corners of his mouth in this sea of ​​flowers, and the corners of his eyes turned up slightly: "I heard that Yang Guiren was careless... It's really a pity that the beauty is so unlucky, don't you think so, Empress Dowager?"

Zhaojun's eyes fell into the distance, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "You are so right."

The bright-colored long skirt that dragged the floor passed by the blue skirt, a bluestone road, two different smiling faces, passed by in two directions.

This vigilance also alerted Gao Yan by the way. After that, he never mentioned Lu Zhen again, nor did he go to find Lu Zhen.During the period when he didn't bother Lu Zhen, Lengque came to report that Lu Zhen had successfully won the favor of Du Siyi, the daughter of Du Guogong, the steward of the Meditation Institute, and with the help of Du Siyi, she had successfully Back to the Palace of Blue Mirrors.

On the day when Lu Zhen returned to the Palace of Blue Mirrors, Lou Qingqiang, who had been away from the palace for several days, also returned to the palace.

When she stepped into the gate outside the Zhaoyang Palace, Zhaojun sat calmly on the mahogany railing beside the low pond, holding a bowl of fish food in his hand, as if he was about to feed the red carp in the pond.

Zhaojun heard the sound of the door, raised his head slowly, and saw Qing Qiang, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, striding across the gravel path, stepping on the flower garden after the rain, striding towards him.

She coughed, and greeted Qing Qiang: "Long time no see, Qing Qiang, you are quite charming..." Before the greetings were finished, she saw Qing Qiang leaning over with a very nervous expression, leaning against her. She lowered her voice from the corner of her ear and said: "The matter that my aunt ordered someone to investigate has been found out, so Princess Tongchang, she is actually a fool—"

The author has something to say: QAQ means that the chapter you read was written when Mr. Gu had a fever.

The unlucky Mr. Gu heard from others that he would be resistant to the cold in the near future after he recovered from the cold, so he walked around the ground with bare feet, and went out in the cold wind to give him the only living onion planted. Watered and weeded.

So, unfortunately, I took the lead and got a fever......

QAQ then deliberately told Mrs. Gu before going to bed that I have a fever, and I will call my grandfather at six o'clock tomorrow morning to wake me up.

Mrs. Gu replied, fuck your uncle, where did you lose your peaty brain? Bare feet are running on the floor in the cold weather! ! !Ah, that's marble, not wood! ! ! !

.......QAQ So everyone understands, don't listen to rumors, don't step on the floor with bare feet when the cold is about to recover.Say thank you to Miss Qinghuai and Miss Lena2100 whom I haven't hugged for a long time, then dig you out from under the water, put them in the coffin used by Mr. Gu for hibernation, cover and nail them...
