In this secluded palace, the sunset shines through the window paper and casts strange spots, highlighting the tranquility and tranquility at this moment.
But just like a calm lake, suddenly a hill was thrown into it, causing thousands of ripples and hundreds of feet of waves.
"Yes, I am the Qiantang singer you want to investigate."
Li Yong was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He looked at Liu Wan for a long time, then suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "This is really unexpected."
After hesitation, Li Yong said: "Madam, why are you telling me this now?"
"If I didn't tell you, wouldn't you be able to find out?" Liu Wan asked back. Seeing Li Yong nod, she smiled and asked again: "Li Junming, according to what you just said, do you think the official family can do it?" If you know this, will you treat it as nothing?"
At this time, she was like a drowning person, eager to pick up a life-saving straw, and then she didn't want to let go.
She didn't even think about it. In fact, she should know Zhao Heng better than Li Yong.
It's just that she may be obsessed with the authorities, and it's obvious to onlookers, and she needs other people's affirmation to help her make a decision.
Li Yong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Well, to be honest, I don't know what the official's feelings are for his wife. If they are deep enough, maybe he won't mind her past. But if ..."
The following words were not said, but the meaning was clear.
Liu Wan was silent, she knew this without Li Yong having to explain it.
Even she wasn't sure how much status she had in Zhao Heng's heart. It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but it was because she cared that she worried about gains and losses.
So whether Zhao Heng cares about it or not, not to mention that she doesn't know what Zhao Heng is thinking now, even if Zhao Heng told her in front of her, she might not dare to believe it.
Human nature cannot stand the test, nor can it stand the test of time. Liu Wan did not dare to test it.
So her only way now is to drag Li Yong into the water.
"So, Li Junming, are you planning to report me to the officials now?"
Li Yong was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare..."
Although Liu Wan didn't know if this was a guarantee, she was slightly relieved. She paused and asked, "The official asked you to investigate this matter. Now that you know the result, why don't you tell him?" Already?"
"Now that Madam is pregnant with a dragon seed, even if she has a past, it may not be important to the official family. If I talk about these things now, won't I make him trouble himself? Besides, those are all things in the past. Madam is not what she used to be now, is she?"
Liu Wan was not happy when she heard this, but instead became even more distressed.
It would be okay if this child was Zhao Heng's, but if not...
"In that case, are you willing to help me keep this secret?"
Li Yong was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I dare not say it, just because my wife now has a dragon seed; but if I deliberately conceal it, wouldn't this be the crime of deceiving the emperor? I..."
Liu Wandao: "I'm not asking you to hide it intentionally. You just need to pretend that you haven't found out about it. In addition, I want you to help me find out someone."
"who?"
Liu Wan didn't know how to answer, because her understanding of the fake Zhao Heng was limited to that night.
The other party was able to disguise himself as Zhao Heng, with almost no obvious flaws other than size, which made it impossible for Liu Wan to talk about it.
Moreover, before, it was only said that the other party planned to be detrimental to the emperor, and it was related to the incident where the emperor asked Li Yong to investigate the Qiantang singer. At this time, he could only follow this line: "There is someone else who knows about this matter, or I was the one who knew about it back then." An old friend in Qiantang. You only need to find out who in the palace is behaving strangely, and I'm afraid it's him."
After Li Yong left, Liu Wan was silent for a moment, closed her eyes and sighed again.
"I just hope there won't be any more setbacks."
…
In October of the sixth year of Xianping, the Liao Kingdom exchanged the land of seven states, including Yingzhou, Mozhou, Shuozhou, and Zhuozhou, from the northwest Tibetan king for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and the Queen Mother Xiao Chuo. commit.
Of course, this kind of
The purpose of an agreement is to break it at any time, and neither party will take it seriously.
In November of that year, Maya, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom, made a prefectural alliance with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, forming a brotherly alliance. Tubo sent seven states to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty would donate a certain amount of cloth, currency, tea and salt every year in the future. and other things; at the same time, the Song Dynasty also had to recognize the Tibetan king's rule over the northwest region and confer him the title of King of Tibet. Tibetan soldiers were no longer allowed to invade the northwest territory of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the Song Dynasty also had to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road to the Western Regions.
In December, in order to celebrate the Song Dynasty's recovery of seven of the sixteen Youyun states, Emperor Zhao Heng decided to change the reign name to Jingde starting from January next year, which was the early year of Jingde.
At the same time, he granted amnesty to the whole world, and then Zhao Heng named Liu Wan as Concubine Li. Taking this opportunity, he also found out that Liu Wan was already pregnant with a dragon seed. This was regarded as the mother's wealth, so naturally no one objected.
Then Liu Wan was moved to a palace next to Concubine Yang, and the two sisters happened to be together.
In the two days after being conferred as a concubine, Zhao Heng stayed in Liu Wan's palace, but later went back to continue his diligent work at Li Hang's urging.
It took several days to finish the backlog of political affairs, and after a little leisure, I decided to come to Liu Wan's palace to visit again.
Because Liu Wan was pregnant at this time, Zhao Heng didn't actually do anything when he came here, he just stayed with her.
Of course, he only slept in plain sleep.
In Zhao Heng's mind, it was obvious that Liu Wan's status was very different, so his treatment was naturally different.
Now that she has a child, it is even more obvious, and even Concubine Yang is a little jealous.
However, the palace seemed very quiet today. Zhao Heng asked all the servants outside to come in and give Liu Wan a "surprise". However, when he came in, he didn't see a single person. He also wondered where Liu Wan had gone. After looking around, he found nothing. Still nothing.
"Beloved concubine? Wanwan!"
…
"Wanwan!"
Zhao Heng's voice rang in his ears, but Liu Wan was huddled in the corner of the closet, shedding tears silently.
At this time, her expression was painful, which was more due to mental torture.
If she had not listened to the slander of the people behind her and mistakenly thought that the officials had lost trust in her, how could she have taken the risk and fallen into the trap of the other party? Now she is even more at the mercy of the other party.
He is such a devil!
But now she wanted to kill the other party in her heart, but she didn't dare to make any big movement physically, for fear of making some noise and being discovered by the emperor outside.
If there was an explanation for everything that happened before, then today's incident would be impossible to explain once it was leaked. Liu Wan could only grit her teeth and not make a sound.
"Wanwan?"
Zhao Heng was still calling her name, but Liu Wan didn't dare to answer, otherwise the strangeness in his voice would definitely be heard.
"Hmm..." Liu Wan finally couldn't help but groaned after being hit suddenly, and then she quickly covered her lips, but her facial expression gradually became distorted due to the discomfort of being suffocated.
"You're not here either. Where did you go?" Fortunately, Zhao Heng didn't notice it, wandered back and forth again, and finally left with a sigh.
Liu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly her body straightened forward, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and then her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she gradually became distracted.
After a long pause, her limp body was pulled up by Li Yong, hugged her sideways, and whispered in her ear: "Concubine Li, it's time for you to go out."
