Turning around and walking out, she suddenly saw a row of pottery urns placed in the corner of the palace. The queen stopped and asked curiously: "What is this and why are it placed in the palace?"
Princess Changle said calmly: "It is spring water brought from outside the city. It will freeze if left outside, so it is placed here."
Queen: "..."
He glanced at Princess Changle with downcast eyes and sighed.
She is not stupid. The palace has its own eunuchs who specialize in transporting mountain spring water. Every palace that needs spring water can get it by itself. Why do people have to go outside the city to fetch water? After I came back, I didn't even dare to put it outside the house, but placed it under my nose. It was obvious that I was afraid that someone would drug the water.
Recall that Princess Changle just mentioned that she hired a pastry chef from Jiangnan to make pastries. Apparently she even prepared the food herself.
Bring everything you need to eat and drink, and it’s clear what to guard against...
The Queen complained: "Are you crazy? This kind of thing can only be issued by your Majesty, how can it be done secretly?"
Even His Majesty is hesitating again and again, and is in a dilemma. Who else would dare to put medicine in the food and water?
Do you really think Fang Jun doesn't dare to kill anyone?
Princess Changle just smiled and said nothing.
The meaning is very clear, the attitude is very firm, no carelessness is dared, and all potential dangers must be shielded.
"well……"
The queen sighed quietly and said nothing more: "You can stay here. It's not a trivial matter if you get cold. Fang Jun won't know how to deal with me then."
"Queen, walk slowly."
"Go back."
…
Wude Hall.
After hearing the narration, Li Chengqian sat behind the desk and was speechless for a long time.
The Queen advised: "What Chang Le said is true. After the New Year, she will go to the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple to wait for her childbirth. She will not appear in the eyes of outsiders until she gives birth to the child. She has devoted herself to practicing Taoism in the past two years and has grown up. If you don't show up in front of others for a long time, you won't be suspicious. When the child is born, and after three or two years, he publicly declares that he has taken care of it, who will meddle in these nosy matters? "
Li Chengqian had no expression on his face and said calmly: "They have all decided to kill first and then report later, so why do I, the emperor, need to agree? Let this matter be over."
Naturally, she would not give up. This was just an angry talk. The queen hurriedly said: "Not to mention anything else, Changle was married to Changsun Chong by the late emperor. As a result, Changsun Chong was disabled and his mentality was distorted, which made Changle suffer for many years. How can this elder brother not feel sorry for her at all? After all, she married into the eldest grandson's family for the sake of the Li Tang royal family."
Li Chengqian was silent.
He accidentally injured Changsun Chong back then, making Changsun Chong inhumane. Later, Changsun Chong secretly retaliated, causing him to fall off his horse, break his leg and become disabled. He also tortured and humiliated Princess Changle for so many years. After all, he, the emperor, cannot escape. relationship.
Otherwise, given Changsun Chong's affection for Changle back then, he must have been a couple of gods and immortals...
Sighing heavily, Li Chengqian nodded and said: "In that case, let's do it like this. You are the queen and the sister-in-law. You usually care more about Changle, but Changle has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances in recent years. My brother Incompetent."
The majestic Princess of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong, suffered humiliation in the eldest grandson's family. Emperor Taizong turned a blind eye in order to take care of the overall situation. His brother was frightened by Yi Chu and was always on tenterhooks and never showed much concern. Thinking about it now, it is true that Ashamed of Princess Changle.
But towards Fang Jun, he gritted his teeth and was filled with resentment.
Li Chengqian was even willing to share this splendid Tang Dynasty and the picturesque country with Fang Jun. What kind of wealth cannot be enjoyed by one person and surpassed by tens of thousands of people? What kind of beauty cannot be had?
Why did you focus on Changle?
Even Jinyang had a deep love for him...
Thinking of this, he was shocked and quickly told the queen: "When you have free time, you should also visit Si Zi more often and give her more advice, so that she knows that she should keep herself clean and not do anything arbitrarily, so as not to be deceived... If Sizi follows Changle's old trick and repeats it, I, the emperor, will simply cover my face with hair and kill myself to death, and I will have no face to see the late emperor under the Nine Springs!"
This younger sister is much more willful than Chang Le. She may seem gentle and dignified, but in reality she is quirky. There is no chance that she would be able to do such immoral things.
He didn't think Fang Jun would get involved with Si Zi, but if Si Zi deliberately seduced her, with her beauty, which man in the world could resist her?
After all, Changle was still a divorced woman, so she had some room for maneuver. Sizi was a pure young lady. If she got pregnant out of wedlock... Li Chengqian simply couldn't think of it.
Gao Yang's girl is also strange. Is she really a lady, without any jealousy, happily marrying her sister?
As a brother, it is really sad to have several sisters like this.
The Queen quickly responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my concubine and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Li Chengqian clicked his tongue and stopped talking.
It is indeed necessary to take good care of it. At present, there are demons and unrest in the palace. If someone has evil intentions and wants to instigate Fang Jun to fall out with him by murdering the fetus in Changle's belly, he may succeed.
With Fang Jun's stubborn temper, knowing that his and Changle's children were murdered, he might be blamed.
Even though he is the emperor and the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he can't help but feel a headache when he thinks about facing the crazy Fang Jun. That guy is an out-and-out hammer, who knows what he can do...
He regretted his decision to ask the queen to abort the fetus in Changle's belly. At that time, it was too reckless to be so angry. On the one hand, if he aborted the child, Changle would definitely hate him to the core. The relationship between brother and sister would be lost, turned against each other, and even despair. He is seeking pleasure and short-sightedness. How will his brother go to see his father and mother under Jiuquan in the future? Furthermore, this matter was a thorn in the side. Although it was not carried out, once Fang Jun knew about it, the relationship between monarch and minister would inevitably weaken.
I'm not thinking carefully, I'm being reckless...
Thinking of this, he looked at the queen and said hesitantly: "Chat with Changle more in the next two days and apologize to her for me."
There was nothing he could do about Changle's pregnancy. Not only could he not punish him, but he had to do his best to protect her integrity...
Queen Bingxue was smart and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already hinted to Changle, and Changle also implicitly said that Fang Jun will not be informed of tonight's events, so there is no need for your Majesty to worry. After all, Changle is your Majesty's sister and the great Tang Dynasty." Princess, she always knows the general situation."
She naturally understands why His Majesty is worried. Once Fang Jun learns about what happened tonight, even if it has not been carried out, Fang Jun will definitely be resentful towards His Majesty. As the atmosphere in the clan becomes more and more tense, bad blood must not arise between the monarch and his ministers. Fuck.
But what she didn't understand was that since Fang Jun was so important and the current situation in the court was not stable, why should she listen to Liu Jie's advice and take away the military power of Jinwu Guards under Fang Jun?
*****
The back house of Fang's family, in the side hall.
When Fang Jun handed over his wives and concubines and informed them that Princess Changle was pregnant with his child, the wives and concubines were not too surprised. After all, this was expected, but the incident was extremely criticized. Big and far-reaching influence, I didn’t expect Fang Jun and Princess Changle to be so willing to face difficulties and face difficulties...
As the wife of a eldest lady and the younger sister of Princess Changle, Princess Gaoyang just shook her head, her pretty face was full of disdain, she tsked her lips and snorted: "You are really suave and merciful... Changle, Baling, they are all my sisters, who is next? Lanling? Chengyang? Or Jinyang?"
Fang Jun drank tea and wisely did not bring up the issue.
Wu Meiniang on the side cursed in her heart, he didn't let my sister go either...
"People in the Imperial Medical Office may not be able to keep secrets. Once the matter is leaked, His Highness Changle may be in some danger."
After all, she was the "big boss" in the family who was best at reading people's hearts and playing tricks. Wu Meiniang immediately deduced that Princess Changle was in danger.
Xiao Shu'er hesitated and said: "Even though His Majesty must be extremely dissatisfied with this, he won't be so cruel, right? After all, Your Highness Changle is the biological sister of his compatriot."
Li Chengqian's image has always been that of being generous and kind to others, and he is merciful to others. Why would he kill his own sister?
Jin Shengman, who was born in the Silla royal family, does not doubt this: "The identity of the head of a country is unusual. The issues they need to consider are different from us. Whether it is family ties or friendships, they can easily change it in the face of sufficient interests or disadvantages. give up."
Her sister also did not escape the murderous hands of her husband...
Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "This is one of them, but I don't think your Majesty will attack His Highness Changle. After all, not only is Your Highness Changle his sister, but Lang Jun is also the father of the child. He always has to worry about Lang Jun's mood, lest Lang Jun Falling out... and the second thing is to be careful of others harming His Majesty Changle and his children, so as to put the blame on His Majesty, and prompt Lang Jun to break up with His Majesty."
This made her vaguely worried. There was already some distance between His Majesty and the husband. If something like that happened again, no one knew where the relationship between the monarch and his ministers would go...
You can't really rebel, right?
Fang Jun put down his tea cup, coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and said: "I just want to inform you that you are all my wives and concubines. You have the right to know this matter, and I have the obligation to inform you... As for the safety of Changle and the children, you Don't worry, I have made arrangements in advance and everything will be safe."
Unlike Li Chengqian who was restricted by various rules as an emperor and had too many contacts with palace officials to ensure safety, Princess Changle lived in Shujing Palace, with a simple composition of people around her. If she wanted to isolate herself from possible murders from the outside world, she had to be simple. many.
As long as he takes strict precautions in terms of diet, there will basically be no major mistakes, not to mention that the "Hundred Qisi" will be on standby 24 hours a day. He actually wants to see if anyone has eaten leopard bile...
Princess Gao Yang shook her head and said: "You don't know the prince's brother's character. Don't be fooled by his generosity. It is true that he is really lenient, but sometimes he is very stubborn. Just in case... I will go to the palace later to have a look, otherwise I won't rest assured."
If you have never been in a place like the palace, it is difficult to understand the distortion and paranoia in it.
There is never true benevolence, nor is there complete evil. Everyone has two or more faces. Even they themselves don’t know when they will show which face to others. If it is really because of some people’s character If you are generous, you will not do anything paranoid. That would be a big mistake.
