Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I immediately understood that just now my conversation with Zhesheng had been heard by Chang Qing to some extent.

She probably didn't mean to come over and overhear us. She should really want to come and talk to me and talk to me, but the words I talked with Zhesheng made her stop.

I was silent for a while, then took a step back calmly, raised my hand and said, "The queen mother first sit down, I will let them bring in tea."

"Ok."

She nodded, walked straight in and sat down at the table. After a few words, they sent hot tea. I let them all go out, closed the door, and went to the table and sat opposite her. .

Chang Qing looked up at me calmly. The eyes seemed to be waiting for me to say something. I thought for a long time and said gently, "Don't misunderstand me."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Misunderstanding what I want to do in Linfen City."

"This is not true, and regardless of your character, all the wonderful words are in the city. As a mother, you naturally do not want her to be in any danger."

I nodded and continued, "I don't want to do anything to affect the emperor."

"..."

This time, she didn't speak.

The question was too obvious in my eyes, and my voice paused.

The two people were silent for a long time with a little bit of stern meaning, and then I said, "Really."

Chang Qing looked at me, and after a while she exhaled softly, and then said, "Even if your intention is not to affect the emperor, but for you, your influence on the overall situation now, this palace cannot fully believe it. You. Especially—you believe so much about Liu Qinghan. "

I looked up at her: "I believe he is bad? Isn't he doing something for His Majesty the Emperor? This time, he advised His Majesty not to go through Pingyang, and he also advised His Majesty not to come to Linfen. Is what he used to want to save. "

Of course, Chang Qing ca n’t beat me, but she thought for a while, and said solemnly: “It ’s true that it seems that Liu Qinghan wants to do these things for the emperor, but in fact, these things He did not do anything, but these things were continuously transmitted among the common people, and his reputation became more and more. "

"..."

"While the other is going on, as his reputation grows and the emperor gets more and more questioned, what do you think of this palace?"

"..."

I didn't speak for a while.

Actually, I dare not say that this is something that I have always felt wrong.

Indeed, Qing Han's attempts to persuade Pei Yuanzhang were rejected. He did not succeed, but his actions were deliberately extolled, and there was a tendency to exaggerate, plus the song sung by the refugees. , His reputation is growing. There are some things in the world that are constant. It is impossible to have countless celebrities. Often the reputation of one person will rise, and the enthusiasm of another person in the people will be indifferent, because of their enthusiasm, to pursue and support another person Already.

This is what Chang Qing has said and done.

Even the change of dynasties is the same reason.

And there are too many such changes in history. Some may happen naturally, but some may be deliberately created.

I thought for a while, looked up at Chang Qing, and said gently: "I know what the queen mother is worried about, but Qing Han really doesn't have that kind of thought, and not to mention others, he, his face has been That's how he could--even if he could, the people wouldn't accept such a person to do--do great things. "

Hearing that I was so white, Chang Qing frowned, and her expression eased a little after all.

Indeed, in the dynasties and dynasties, I have never heard of anyone who can be an emperor.

She remained silent for a while, and said, "If that's the case, why did the city suddenly start to rumour about him?"

"At this point, I also want to know that others are no longer in Linfen or even the emperor's side, but these words, obviously, some people are consciously provocative. After the emperor entered Guanzhong, he would soon enter the Shu land. At this time, it is very unpleasant to have a gap between the two of them. "

"Do you suspect--Pei Yuanxiu?"

"At least in my opinion, if the emperor and Qinghan really have a disagreement, or even a conflict between them, it is in his best interest."

"But this palace heard that all the fine works in the city have been processed."

"That's why I asked Zhesheng to investigate again. I suspect there is still a missing fish."

"If, isn't it a leaking fish?"

"..."

I didn't speak, but my breath became heavy.

If, it is not a leaking fish.

If those who spread the rumors are not Pei Yuanxiu, then things will really become complicated.

I hope not.

Seeing that I was silent, I knew that I could n’t answer this question. Chang Qing was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This matter, this palace will tell the emperor sooner or later that he cannot be kept in the drum. crime."

She says "sooner or later", that is, she won't say now.

It seems that she is also hesitating and wants to give me some time to find out the truth.

I hurriedly said, "Thank you Queen Mother."

She looked at me again and said, "There are only two days at most, and this palace can't wait until things are out of control. Then, it won't help the emperor's affairs."

"I understand, I will let Zhesheng take the time to investigate."

"Ok."

She nodded slightly, and the two of them agreed.

After speaking so much, all of them were a little bit dry, took the cup on the table and drank, and the atmosphere eased a little. Chang Qing looked around and said, "What a wonderful word."

"She went to the gate to help the wounded soldiers."

"Ah? You let her pass like this, what if she's scared?"

"Mother-in-law, please rest assured that she is already strong, and she is willing to do something for the soldiers who guard the city. Even the emperor knows."

"Oh……"

When she heard me say that, she put down her heart, thought down for a moment, then looked up at me, smiling, and said, "It's your daughter."

I also laughed, about to say two polite words, but heard Chang Qing murmur as if unconscious-

"I wish you could do the same, well."

I froze and said immediately, "Isn't His Royal Highness His Enough?"

Chang Qing said sadly: "The emperor always felt that he was too kind."

I shook my head: "It is too early to say whether His Royal Highness is benevolent, but for the people, the court needs thunder and drizzle, but only when it comes to it. The queen and queen do not really have to worry."

When she heard me so comfort her, she smiled and said softly: "It is false that he is not worried. He has now entered Xichuan. What is going on, and what is he doing? The palace has no idea at all. Come--"

"You don't have to worry about this. The crisis in Linfen City can be lifted within ten days. When we enter Guanzhong, the people in Shu will definitely come to respond. At that time, the queen mother will know."

Chang Qing looked at me and nodded gently: "Yes."

She and I chatted for a while, and she got up and left, but when she left, she still looked at me and said solemnly: "Lightness, Liu Qinghan, this palace is always in my heart, this one You'd better find out soon, and give him a 'innocence'. It can also be regarded as reassuring the palace and the emperor. Otherwise, the siege of Linfen will be relieved, and there are still many dangers. "

I nodded slightly, "Yes."

In fact, even if Chang Qing didn't say it, I had been worrying about it myself, so I would let Zhesheng do it, but one day passed and another day passed without any news.

But rumors are really increasing.

Even Zhang Ziyu even came to me and asked, "Ms. Yan, are there any things about Liu Gongzi?"

Even he asked, it was clear that the rumors had reached the point of publicity.

Now that he already knows it, I think there must have been some wind heard from Pei Yuanzhang. Besides, Chang Qing made it clear before. Give me two days. If there is no result, she will tell it. To Pei Yuanzhang.

And Zhang Ziyu was nervous because he had received a letter from Liu Qinghan.

Speaking of this matter, it is just Liu Qinghan's unilateral behavior. In fact, Zhang Ziyu has nothing but the "shine" to push down his own ancestral shrine, but if someone who knows it knows this, it will It gets complicated.

I said, "Master Zhang doesn't have to worry. I didn't tell anyone about this letter he wrote to you. As long as Master Zhang didn't tell it, it would not be known."

He was silent for a while and then said, "I'm not just worried about this one."

"what?"

"Ms. Yan, you are an understanding person. You have also spent so many years in the capital. You should be very clear. Although the heart is facing back, although you cannot see or touch it, in some cases, it is sharper and more powerful than a sword. . "

"That's for sure."

"Right now, this is the time."

"..."

"Although we now have no problem in defending the city, every attack by the enemy forces will still make the people in the city and even the people in other places more suspicious of the emperor. They are attacking not just the gates.

"……I know."

"These rumors, even I have heard, show how powerful they are in the city, and our people find that outside the city, those people seem to have new movements."

"New activity ?!"

I froze and turned to look out the window. The red glow of the setting sun shone on the window sill, as if a flame was burning in the sky.

"They're going to attack?"

Zhang Ziyu looked at me and said, "If it's just a sneak attack, it's best."
