211,—the twenty-third cannon fodder—(2/3)
As soon as Li Yi returned to the palace, she was summoned by Empress Dowager Zheng. At this time, not only Empress Dowager Zheng, but also Yao Jinling was present in the palace. When Li Yi arrived, Empress Dowager Zheng retreated from everyone with a calm face.
Looking at Li Yi, "Huang'er, are you sure Ma Yuanzhi is dead?"
"It's absolutely true." These four words of Li Yi successfully made Empress Dowager Zheng smile.
Yao Jinling immediately noticed her words and said, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother and the Emperor for your wish has come true."
"It's just that the emperor feels better now. When you give birth to a little Huang grandson for the Ai family, then the Ai family's wish will be fulfilled." The Queen Mother patted Yao Jinling's hand and said.
Yao Jinling smiled and said nothing, but looked at Li Yi with a strange look, but quickly calmed down. She originally wanted to use Li Yi's sleepiness to blame Ma Yuanzhi, so as to get Taomi to follow her.
Guilty, but now that Ma Yuanzhi is dead, how will she do what she wants to do?
You have already prepared so much, do you have to give up like this?
This Ma Yuanzhi is so unlucky. As long as she lives for ten more days, she will be able to prevent Taomi from appearing in front of her again. Li Yi went out today and must have seen that woman again. She is really hateful.
, are already outside the palace, and Li Yi is still thinking about it, what is it if it’s not a vixen?
As soon as Ma Yuanzhi died, Li Yi began to clean up the court. Since Ma Yuanzhi fell ill, he had been looking for evidence of the crimes of those who were related to Ma Yuanzhi. As for those who were not guilty but had something to do with Ma Yuanzhi, he
I am also willing to give them a chance to change their ways.
Li Yi did this cleanup quickly and ruthlessly, and within a few days, the court officials had a major change.
The tangled roots that are difficult to clean up are just an excuse for your fear, and the reason why you are fearful is not because you don't have enough ability. When you have enough ability to uproot a big tree, you won't be afraid.
Those coiled roots are at the wrong joints.
The situation in the court was as smooth as Li Yi imagined, but he never expected that his harem would actually catch fire.
Originally, there was only one concubine in the harem, Yao Jinling. This was of course not possible. Without Ma Yuanzhi's consideration, the Queen Mother, as the emperor's mother, wanted to have a grandson on the one hand, and she could not let the special favor happen.
So she advocated giving the emperor a concubine.
Yao Jinling smiled on the surface, but she was a little anxious in her heart. She was Li Yi's first concubine, and she had the right time and place. Although Li Yi didn't love her, she was Li Yi's first concubine after all.
, but now she wants to have a concubine when she is not pregnant yet. How can this be done?
However, she also knew that even if she refused, it wouldn't work, so she decided to target Taomi.
If something happened to the emperor's beloved woman, would he still be interested in having a concubine?
And Taomi has been accompanying Sun Jiabi during this period, and has no intention to care about Yao Jinling's affairs, and she has no idea that Yao Jinling wants to frame her.
But if she knew it, she would definitely be very happy. After all, Yao Jinling started to seek death. How could she waste such a rare opportunity?
It's just a pity that she doesn't know.
After Sun Jiabi's mood stabilized and she was no longer so sad, Taomi also began to think about how to enter the palace. It was Empress Dowager Guo who asked her to enter the palace in the past. Now that Empress Dowager Guo is dead, she has no reason to enter the palace.
Just think about it, she doesn't believe she can't find it.
Shanyu disappeared since the last time he appeared. When Taomi was free, she went to the temple to compete with Gao Xianyang. Of course, she won every time, although she also knew that her martial arts skills were better than Gao Xianyang's.
She was very powerful, but she always felt that Gao Xianyang didn't try his best.
Really, how much do you look down on her martial arts skills?
I originally thought that Gao Xianyang must have been restrained in front of Li Yi and would no longer be as clever as before, but he looked like he was giving in to her, but what did she need to give in to?
After all, he still didn't like her martial arts, so she wanted him to know that she wasn't something everyone could look down upon.
Gao Xianyang didn't know where he offended Taomi. She seemed to have been opened up to Ren and Du's second channel. Whenever she fought with him, she was as fierce as a tiger, and he didn't want to fight.
She then attacked directly, as if she had a grudge against him.
Only when he knows she is tired can he get some rest.
"Are you in a bad mood recently because of your aunt's affairs?" Does she also think that Ma Yuanzhi is her uncle, and she regrets doing this with them?
Taomi didn't know the thoughts in Gao Xianyang's mind. She lay in the yard with her eyes closed and didn't speak. Gao Xianyang continued, "Actually, I know what you are thinking even if you don't speak. You are also conflicted, right?"
What is a contradiction?
If he really knew what she was thinking, then he wouldn't have to follow her in a sword duel for so long and ask such stupid questions.
After resting, Taomi looked at Gao Xianyang who was still sitting on the ground. Forget it, she couldn't bear to torture him anymore, "I'm going back first, you should go back early too."
"Don't worry, today my father and some old friends went to the teahouse. I'm not on duty in the palace today, so I'll take you back." After saying that, Gao Xianyang stood up and followed Taomi, although he had been beaten by Taomi in the past two days.
It was so cruel, but he still wanted to send her back.
Taomi nodded casually in agreement. Everyone knew about her relationship with Senior Sister Gao Xianyang. Wan Jianfeng and Sun Jiabi wouldn't be surprised to see them together. After all, in the previous seven years, they were almost able to
It was said that we got along day and night.
Taomi didn't expect that she had just returned to the General's Mansion. There was already a eunuch sent by the Queen Mother to announce her entry into the palace. Wan Jianfeng and Sun Jiabi had also entered the palace. This eunuch was waiting for her.
"My father-in-law, do you know why the Queen Mother summoned Miss Wan?" Gao Xianyang asked with a frown. Recently, he heard that Wan Jianfeng was planning to resign, but this has nothing to do with Tao Mi.
"This is the Empress Dowager's business. How can I know this? Miss Wan and this servant are invited to come and don't keep the Empress Dowager waiting." The eunuch said with an indifferent expression, his tone full of fun, peach.
Mi was sure that he knew something, and this 'something' must not be a good thing.
"Baoxian, please go to the palace first. I will immediately ask the emperor for permission to enter the palace." Gao Xianyang obviously noticed this and turned around and left after saying this.
Taomi knew that if it wasn't a big deal, Wan Jianfeng would definitely be able to handle it. If it was a big deal, it would be useless even if Gao Xianyang went, but he was already gone, so let him be.
"Miss Wan, let's invite you, but don't keep the Queen Mother waiting."
Originally, Taomi was ready to follow him, but seeing his gloating expression, she changed her mind, "What happened to my brother when my mother left?"
"The young master had been crying when the madam left, and the wet nurse had just calmed him down," said the maid on the side.
Taomi started walking towards the courtyard where Wan Lu was, "I'm going to see my brother first, so that my parents don't have to worry after entering the palace. I think the Queen Mother won't mind either."
Again, if it was a big matter, she wouldn't hesitate to offend this eunuch. If it was a small matter, she would offend Wan Jianfeng's status, and even a eunuch wouldn't dare to say anything.
After looking at Wan Lu and seeing that he was asleep and unable to wake up for a while, I felt relieved and followed the eunuch into the carriage and entered the palace.
"Miss Wan, aren't you curious at all about what the Queen Mother is looking for with your family?" If this was an ordinary lady, she would be crying and not knowing what to do. She was so angry that she didn't ask anything.
He was so calm and relaxed that he seemed to be looking for trouble.
Taomi opened her eyes, "You will know what happened when you see the Queen Mother in the palace."
There are always some people whose self-righteousness is so annoying. Greedy people and their self-righteousness make it even more annoying.
The eunuch choked at Taomi's words and turned away without speaking. If she didn't beg him now, he would make it impossible for her to beg him in the future. He wanted to see which of them was more lucky.
The carriage rumbled through the palace gate, and Taomi arrived in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, surrounded by guards. Although she hadn't entered the palace for a long time, she knew that there were guards at the entrance, which seemed unusual.
"Miss Wan, let's invite you." You didn't beg me just now, but now you are scared. I want to see what you have to do to avert this crisis.
Taomi glanced at him and walked forward.
She had come back from a sword duel with Gao Xianyang. For the sword duel, she naturally wore whatever was convenient for her movements. She was dressed in a close-fitting outfit, and her hair was tied up high instead of in a bun. This appearance was the most popular in the world.
A chivalrous woman, but in the palace, she seems a bit nondescript.
After entering the palace, it was obvious that someone had just informed her of her arrival. The Queen Mother stared at Taomi closely, and was stunned when she saw her attire after she entered.
Taomi looked around and saw that this person was quite complete. Needless to say, Wan Jianfeng and Sun Jiabi, Yao Jinling was standing next to the Queen Mother, and on the other side stood Tan Yanshang from the kitchen, and several others dressed as imperial medical officers.
People who obey.
"Baoxian met the Queen Mother."
"Wan Baoxian, I ask you, what are you wearing? Don't you know how to take care of your makeup when you come to see the Queen Mother?" Yao Jinling scolded her before the Queen Mother could speak.
Her peach lips curled up, how much did she want to crush her, were she so impatient?
"I was originally practicing swordsmanship, so of course I wanted to wear something simpler. How could it be as troublesome as what you wear, Li Fei? The enemy killed me before my sword even came out." You're welcome,
There is no need for me to be polite.
"I am the emperor's concubine. You are just the daughter of a general. How dare you openly contradict me?" Yao Jinling pointed at Taomi and said.
"I don't mean to contradict anything, I'm just discussing things as they happen. All this is just Empress Li Fei's self-interpretation."
Of course Yao Jinling was unwilling to give in and wanted to talk back again. The Queen Mother interrupted sharply, "Okay, the Ai family didn't come here just to hear you quarreling here."
"Wan Baoxian, Ai Jia wants to ask you, is Monk You Fang Shanyu your master?"
"Yes." Is it related to Shanyu?
"The Aijia will ask you again, has Shanyu been frequently in Beijing recently?"
"no."
As soon as Taomi finished speaking, Yao Jinling immediately shouted, "Mother, she lied. It was obvious that Shanyu was often seen visiting the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. Now Miss Wan actually said that Shanyu has never been in Beijing. This is obviously a lie. She can
If you speak about this matter, you will definitely be able to lie about other matters."
Taomi still hasn't figured it out yet, why are you here to find her?
The Queen Mother obviously didn't know Shan Yu's identity. Could it be that Shan Yu had done something and they wanted to come here to hold him accountable?
It shouldn't be, even if it's because of Shan Yu, then why is Gao Xianyang okay and only looking for her?
"The Aijia asked you, did Shanyu ask you to murder the emperor?"
"Ah?" Shanyu tried to kill Li Yi? What kind of international joke was he kidding?
