Chapter 311 The Revenge of Killing My Father
“No, if your mother finds out, I can’t save you.”
Gao Qian saw that Liang Huan’s expression was serious and did not look like he was joking, so he immediately objected .
"I know that if there is a secret room, it must be hiding something very important. How can I not know the Queen Mother's methods?"
Liang Huan felt it was a pity that she could not find out.
However, we still have to find a suitable opportunity in the future.
Gao Qian looked at her: "Liang Huan, you are trying every means to deal with your mother, not for me, but for yourself. You hate her. Why, is it because she forced you to kill him?"
Forcing her to kill Lu Xiu?
Liang Huan shook her head, that was a job she asked for.
"There are many reasons. The death of my father Aweng is inseparable from her, and she has repeatedly harmed me in order to find Yuan Shaoyu's letter."
Gao Qian's drunkenness was almost gone and he stopped asking any more questions.
The next day, everyone in Hanguang Hall finally received the long-awaited ban.
Everyone in the palace stared at Hanguang Palace, waiting to see how Concubine Shu would compete with Lu Zhaoyi and Zhang Hongde, and how she would punish those who gained favor during her confinement.
But one day passed and there was no movement. Ten days passed and there was still no movement. Until half a month passed, Concubine Shu was still not seen doing anything. She even still couldn't close her door and refused to let others come to the door for no reason.
As a result, everyone speculated that Concubine Shu had figured it out during these days of confinement: people are not as good as a thousand days, and flowers are not as beautiful as a hundred days.
*
On the snowy day, the charcoal fire was burning brightly and the Zhaoyang Palace was very warm.
Cao Ruomi sat on his knees in front of the desk, holding his sleeve with one hand and copying Buddhist scriptures with a pen, looking focused and pious.
Wen Jin finished studying the ink, bowed his head and stepped aside.
As usual, Su Lan finished talking about Concubine Shu's recent situation and waited for the queen's instructions. The queen didn't say anything about getting up, so she could only wait on her knees.
After the queen finished copying the article, he looked up at her and spared her courtesy.
Cao Ruomi put down his pen: "The most important thing when copying Buddhist scriptures is sincerity. It's not that I don't want to spare you the courtesy. Just stopping in the middle is disrespectful to the Buddha."
Sulan kowtowed and thanked her, then stood up.
Cao Ruomi signaled to Wen Jin, who took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Su Lan.
Su Lan took it with both hands, her eyes full of gratitude.
This is her home letter. Every once in a while, the queen will ask someone to bring her a home letter. This is a grace that other palace members do not have.
Su Lan is ready to put it in her sleeve and put it away.
Cao Ruomi put down the pen and asked with a smile: "Why don't you take a look? I'm talking to you while you look at me."
Su Lan couldn't guess the queen's intention, so she bowed and said: "I don't dare."
Wen Jin said with a straight face: "Your Majesty has agreed, so there is no need to dare."
Su Lan timidly took the letter and looked at their faces from the corner of her eye. When she saw that there was no displeasure, she opened the letter.
Cao Ruomi said: "It is a pity that Concubine Shu is only grounded this time..."
Su Lan knelt down and confessed while holding the letter, her raised eyes were watery: " I am a useless servant and can’t solve my problems.”
Cao Ruomi said with a smile in his eyes, “How can I blame you? It’s not easy for you to attack Butterfly Carp. ——"
She stopped and looked at Wen Jin. Wen Jin understood and called softly towards the side hall.
Su Lan raised her eyes again and saw two palace servants walking in holding a pot of chrysanthemums.
It is rare to see flowers in this season, and what is even more rare is that the flowers are as green as jade and full of flowers. Sulan's time in Langhuayuan was not short. During this period, she saw many famous and exotic flowers, but there were very few that looked like this. At first sight, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Cao Ruomi smiled lightly: "Find an opportunity to let Yuan Zhi know that there is a pot of 'Green Peony' in Langhuayuan."
Su Lan suppressed the pain in her heart. Curious, he leaned over and bowed: "Yes."
Su Lan took the flowers and left.
“Do you think she is reliable?”
Someone stepped out from the side hall.
Cao Ruomi handed the Buddhist scriptures he had just copied to Wen Jin and said, "I don't think she is reliable, I just think she is useful."
Zhang Baoyue lowered her head: "I am shallow. ”
Cao Ruomi stepped forward, held her hand affectionately, and sat down together: "I don't know that Hongde knows Concubine Shu very well."
Zhang Baoyue's eyes were cold and she said bluntly: "Kill "Father's hatred is irreconcilable."
Cao Ruomi sighed and patted her hand, comforting: "When I saw you taking the initiative to interact with her, I thought you - I never expected you. She is still separated by this layer. If you are not worried about the Lord, I will help you deal with her."
Zhang Baoyue took a step back and bowed to the ground: "Brother, I serve the Lord and cannot disobey her. I want to avenge my father, but I am in the harem with my enemy. If I don’t avenge my father’s murder, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. Fortunately, the Queen is willing to uphold justice for me, so I can’t take revenge.”
< br>Cao Ruomi stretched out his hand to help her up: "We all serve the Lord together. Just treat me as your eldest sister. Don't say anything about repaying or not repaying. You have been in the palace for a long time. Suri You are also a person who is independent from the world, and I like your gentle temperament.”
She paused for a moment and asked: "What if I just give you a pot of flowers like this?"
Zhang Baoyue has beautiful eyebrows and a cute nose, and looks well-behaved: "I heard that Concubine Shu loved the 'Green Peony' when she was in the Taishi Mansion. , Concubine Shu is also good at making incense. You should know that I took care of this flower during those days when she was ill. When she makes incense from it, the empress will know the effect."
She frowned, but it was pleasing to her eyes. A pair of eyes were extremely bright: "When I was at home, I once heard a saying, seven are alive and eight are not alive."
Cao Ruomi's heart moved, and he suppressed his strangeness: "What if she doesn't make incense?"
>
Zhang Baoyue said: "I have forgotten that I have a very good relationship with Huang Liangyuan, and I will definitely control it if she is here."
He raised his eyebrows slightly and saw that the queen was silent, and added: "Even if she really doesn't make incense, it will have the same effect if she puts it in the bedroom every day and smokes it with the stove, but the effect will be slower."
< br>Cao Ruomi was startled and asked in surprise: "Are you saying it will be a miscarriage?"
Zhang Baoyue nodded: "Even if it is not a miscarriage, it will be difficult to give birth."
Cao Ruomi held her hand tightly and shook his head: "But the emperor is innocent. If you had told me just now, I would definitely not-"
Zhang Baoyue held Cao Ruomi back and said, He met her gaze and said: "My dear, Sulan poisoned the butterfly carp but failed to execute Concubine Shu. Isn't it because she is pregnant with the dragon heir? If she really gives birth to a prince, I'm afraid she will have more people to rely on in the future. , I’m afraid that she threatens not only your position, but also the position of the prince!”
Cao Ruomi lowered his eyes, how could she not know?
First there was Concubine Liang Shu, and then there was Lu Zhaoyi...
Without the Cao family, only relying on the Zhou family, uncle and others, it was no better than before.
I thought that taking refuge in the Queen Mother would provide me with a guarantee, but unfortunately, the Queen Mother only valued the Lu family.
Zhang Baoyue said: "If she doesn't have this amulet, would it be easier to touch her in the future? What's more, if a woman is pregnant at seven or eight months, the door to hell is closed, even if she really survives , the concubine will also make it impossible for her to be favored in the future.”
Cao Ruomi looked straight at her: "Would Hongde not be harmed by doing this?"
Zhang Baoyue shook her head: "Don't worry, I know that Concubine Shu knows medical skills, so she won't use poison."
Cao Ruomi frowned: "Then what is this?"
Zhang Baoyue said: "To be honest with you, the doctor in my family is a witch doctor. This method is not poison, but poison. , I said that when I was sick, I was just cultivating the poison. Even if the imperial doctor came, I couldn’t notice it, and I was helpless.”
