Wei Zhongxian crouched down, feeling ups and downs in his heart. He really didn't know how to describe this feeling.
If you don't want to show your strategy, isn't this just hiding your clumsiness?
‘It’s actually like this… Your Majesty…’
The person I've seen since childhood actually has another face, and it has never been shown. This kind of situation is a bit difficult for anyone to accept for a while.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't know clearly that this was not another face, but a brand new person.
It is a brand new Li Qian that combines the memories of two generations.
"Okay, get up."
Li Qian shook his head gently, put his hand on Wei Zhongxian's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Big companion, the current situation is difficult. Apart from close confidants like you, I don't know who to rely on."
After hearing the words, half of Wei Zhongxian's body froze, and half of the strange thoughts in his mind disappeared, and he knelt back on the ground with a plop:
"Your Majesty! I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. Even if the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will not blink an eye!"
"I'm not asking you to go through any mountains of swords and fire. I'm just saying a few words. Get up."
Li Qian held his shoulders, and Wei Zhongxian also stood up. He held his breath and stood respectfully behind Li Qian. The two of them walked out of the hall one after another.
In fact, the main purpose of Li Qian asking Wei Zhongxian to spread such news was not to hide his clumsiness.
In the final analysis, it is still for the talent of Fan Li.
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, after Gou Jian suffered hardships and destroyed Wu, Fan Li retreated bravely. He also wrote a letter to his good friend Wen Zhong, saying that the King of Yue could share hardships with him, but not share happiness with him.
As a result, Fan Li ran away, and Wen Zhong didn't listen to his advice, so he was sentenced to death by the King of Yue.
This is the origin of the allusion that the birds are dead and the dogs are cooked.
Nowadays, the King of Yue does not have such a rough experience, and Fan Li only comes to the court as an envoy.
Li Qian's move to spread the news was mainly to make Gou Jian realize the importance of Fan Li.
In this way, Gou Jian would grant Fan Li a high official salary after destroying Wu, and Fan Li would naturally be scared away.
Otherwise, what if the King of Yue does not reuse Fan Li and lets him hang around in Yue? Wouldn't it be a waste of such a talent?
In the Ziwei Palace, Li Qian's footsteps came to the door of the palace.
Wei Zhongxian had already followed from behind. He first glanced at the young eunuchs outside with a sharp look, and found that they were all staying peacefully in the distance, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Two eunuchs in red looked at Wei Zhongxian with questioning eyes.
Ancestors, how should we remember them?
Wei Zhongxian glared at them both, and they immediately retracted their heads.
"Let's go back to the Palace of Eternal Life."
Li Qian sat on the chariot and waved his hand to signal the eunuchs to start their fight.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly followed, but occasionally lost his focus for a while.
It seemed that Li Qian was really shocked by him.
At night, the eunuchs lined up on both sides with lanterns, and most of the palaces in the Qianyuan Palace were still lit.
After arriving at the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Qian walked towards the hall, waving to the back as he walked: "Okay, you guys can go back too."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhongxian responded loudly from behind.
Li Qian stepped up to the third floor of the Palace of Eternal Life and came to his bedroom, where Wu Meiniang was sitting in front of the window.
When she heard the door open, she turned around and hurriedly stood up to salute to greet him.
"His Majesty……"
Li Qian closed the door with his back foot, walked a few steps quickly and lifted Wu Meiniang onto his shoulders.
"His Majesty!"
Wu Meiniang's red lips opened slightly, a cry of surprise came from her mouth, and her hands and feet couldn't help but struggle a few times.
Li Qian ignored her and carried her directly to the large bed, putting her on it with some roughness.
"Meiniang..."
Li Qian took a breath and leaned down in front of Wu Meiniang.
An exclamation came, the two lips met, and the second half of the exclamation became dull.
Li Qian wanted to do this this afternoon when he was at Doctor Liang's Pavilion.
It’s just that there were twists and turns later, and I kept getting interrupted.
On the bed, Wu Meiniang, who gradually came to her senses, responded to Li Qian with a green voice, and put a pair of jade arms around his back.
A few pieces of clothing were thrown outside the bed. Under the weak candlelight, the beautiful woman's figure was exquisite and undulating.
Her black hair was scattered underneath her body. Wu Meiniang gasped, her chest rising and falling: "Your Majesty..."
The cool breeze blew through the window, lifting the curtains and gauze curtains in the room to float gently...
The lights in the Hall of Eternal Life gradually died down.
In the Sixth Palace, the ladies in charge of delivering snacks had dinner in the Palace of Eternal Life, cleaned up, and finally returned here.
However, when they arrived near the Sixth Palace, these palace ladies looked at each other a few times, feeling quite guilty.
This afternoon, Li Qian still miscalculated. He thought that there were so many food boxes that the maids would not be able to recognize them after taking out the snacks.
But a large part of the snacks were made by the palace maids and ladies, how could they not recognize them?
only……
It's best to keep this matter in your heart and not talk about it everywhere, especially not to let the ladies know, otherwise they will be put in the shoes of others.
The maids dispersed back to the Sixth Palace. After a while, the ladies got bad news.
Your Majesty may not come tonight.
Because the maids saw an empress standing with His Majesty in the Palace of Eternal Life, it seems likely that the empress will be attending the bed tonight.
They had been waiting for a long time, but someone was the first to arrive. The concubines were full of disparity and unwillingness.
"Who is in His Majesty's chamber?" Zhao Feiyan squeezed her clothes tightly, her pretty face full of reluctance.
The palace maid Xiao Lian recalled it for a while, with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "Your Majesty, I don't know that lady either..."
"What a fox! She sneaked into His Majesty's bed without saying a word!"
Zhao Feiyan sat down on the bed angrily.
Today’s underskirt is for nothing again!
The maid Xiao Lian on the side carefully looked at her mother-in-law's face and said hurriedly:
"Don't worry, Madam! I will go to the palace tomorrow to find out what is going on."
"Alas~"
Zhao Feiyan sighed softly and waved her hands helplessly: "Go ahead, go ahead."
After Xiaolian left, she stared blankly at the dimly burning candle in the room, speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he stood up, closed the doors and windows, slowly took off his clothes, held up the hollow inner skirt, and gritted his teeth.
But Zhao Feiyan was still a little reluctant after all, so she folded her clothes neatly.
"I'll wear it tomorrow."
Yonghe Hall.
Yang Yuhuan looked at the palace maid in front of him in shock: "It's actually Wu Meiniang?"
"Yes, empress."
The palace maid lowered her head and returned: "I heard from the palace maid over at Nuanfeng Pavilion that Empress Wu went to Yulin Garden this afternoon and has not returned yet..."
Yang Yuhuan squeezed her jade hand tightly, and a few flashes of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Could it be...could it be that Wu Meiniang met His Majesty in Yulinyuan?"
Then, when His Majesty returned to the palace in the evening, he took her with him as a matter of course.
"It must be so!"
Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but stand up, still feeling a little excited.
'Oh~ I'm so stupid...'
'Your Majesty was going to the Royal Forest Garden to escape the summer heat...why didn't you expect this earlier...'
Thinking of this, Yang Yuhuan hurriedly raised his head and told the maid in front of him: "Go and get ready. We will also go to Yulin Garden tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The little palace maid bowed her head and slowly exited the room.
At the same time, many concubines in Yonghe Palace learned about Wu Meiniang's visit to Yulinyuan, and they all planned to follow suit tomorrow.
But the concubines of the other palaces can only be found out tomorrow.
It was late at night, the lights and candles were gradually extinguished, and the palace gradually fell into a deep sleep, just waiting for the first ray of dawn to wake it up the next day.
…
In the early morning of the next day, while Li Qian was still sleeping, he heard a gentle knock on the door from outside.
