Empress with no Virtue Chapter 13: Conspiracy

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!

Ji Wu Jiu came to Luhua Palace and saw that Concubine Li was still crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her beautiful face had lost its color. He felt a little soft-hearted for a moment.

"Your Majesty." She cried softly while wiping her tears. Probably because she cried for too long, her voice was sweet and slightly hoarse.

After all, she was his woman, and Ji Wu Jiu didn’t want to speak too harshly. He sat down and let Li Fei lean into his arms, her soft and boneless body pressed against his chest.

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me!" Concubine Li continued her unfinished business in the afternoon and applied eye drops to Ye Zhenzhen.

Ji Wu Jiu frowned. He believed he had made his attitude clear. Although he didn't like Ye Zhenzhen, the queen didn't need Concubine Li's nod to punish any slave.

What's more, as a concubine, she also contradicted the queen in public and made arrogant remarks.

I originally thought that Concubine Li would be submissive and obedient in front of him, and she was beautiful, so I would pamper her more. However, I didn't expect that she would become more and more arrogant and arrogant, act boldly, and gradually lose her etiquette. , it’s simply...unworthy of being on the stage.

Thinking of this, Ji Wu Jiu gently pushed the beauty in his arms away.

Moreover, Ji Wu Jiu also understood why Ye Zhen Zhen wanted to deal with Fan Chun. That's why he doesn't like Concubine Li now: Ye Zhenzhen is the queen, and the only one in the harem who can bully her is Ji Wu Jiu, so what's going on with Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was shocked by Ji Wu Jiu's reaction. She looked at Ji Wu Jiu blankly, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"It seems that you are indeed arrogant and do not know how to repent," Ji Wu Jiu looked indifferent, "Then I will be grounded for two months and think about my mistakes behind closed doors."

***

What happened in Luhua Palace spread throughout the harem the next day, and many people looked at Ye Zhen Zhen with a hint of awe in their eyes. I originally thought that I would see a protracted battle between the Queen and Li Fei, but I didn't expect that the battle would end with a unilateral suppression. Thinking about Concubine Li's resentment and dissatisfaction when she was beaten, and then thinking about her once unscrupulous behavior, the reputation of a beloved concubine was lost at the feet of the unfavored queen.

It’s okay not to accept it, the queen indeed has two brushes. Many people began to feel lucky that they had not offended this master. Those who originally wanted to take advantage of this turmoil to file a complaint with Zhuang, saw that Concubine Li was acting like this, so they stopped and did not dare to say anything.

The queen who was admired by countless people was not very happy at this time. "Is the grounding too serious? I have already punished her." The most important thing is that Concubine Li has fallen out of favor. Who can help her deal with Concubine Xian? ?

Ji Wu Jiu was flicking a globe on the table. There were always some weird things in Kunning Palace, "Where did this thing come from?" How could he think about Ye Zhen Zhen's thoughts? I don’t understand, and because I understand, I won’t let her succeed.

"A Franji businessman came in. He also gave a lot of trinkets. He originally wanted to present them to the emperor as tribute, but he was stopped by officials from the Ministry of Rites. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick some. Treat it as a purchased plaything."

"Why were you stopped?" Ji Wu Jiu fiddled with the round sphere, and it spun rapidly in response. There was a map engraved on the copper sphere. Part of it was familiar to him and was somewhat similar to the map of the Daqi coast, but the rest of the large area was unfamiliar.

"It seems that because he said some irrelevant things, the people in the library thought he was deceiving people, so they didn't register him."

The Hui Tong Pavilion stopped him, but the thing ran to the Queen again and happened to hit his eyes. What is the purpose of the businessman? What is the purpose of the queen doing this?

As an emperor, it is inevitable that he would think more. Ji Wu Jiu's eyes flashed and he looked at Ye Zhen Zhen, "What does the Queen think about this?"

"I think it's very funny," Ye Zhenzhen said honestly, and came over to fiddle with the globe, "That person said that the earth is round, and there are many squares in the world. They are the same as the land under our feet, but they are all covered by sea water. Separated. The officials in the Huitong Hall said he was talking nonsense. Also, Western gods can't fly in the clouds, but they have wings. People there don't like to wear clothes."

"Do you think this is credible?"

"How do I know? I haven't seen it with my own eyes. But having said that, the world is full of wonders. Since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I don't know if it's true, and naturally I don't know if it's false. Your Majesty, look at this." Ye Zhenzhen said and handed Ji Wu Jiu a long tube-shaped object.

The long tube was made of brass, with lenses on both ends. Ji Wu Jiu didn't know what it was, so he weighed it in his hand. It seemed that it could barely be used as a weapon.

Ye Zhen Zhen led him to the window and raised the long tube to Ji Wu Jiu's eyes. Because he was taller, her arms were a little tired and trembling slightly. Ji Wu Jiu simply took her hand, clasped it tightly, and held the lens tube steadily.

Ye Zhenzhen: "..."

Ji Wu Jiu turned his gaze to the side, and when he saw her embarrassed expression, he slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, what did you see?"

Ji Wu Jiu squinted one eye and looked at the small lens. With just one glance, he discovered the mechanism. It turned out that this lens tube could magnify distant scenery so clearly that it seemed as if it was right before his eyes.

In sight, a strange **** walked to the flower garden behind Kunning Palace, looked around, stretched out his hand to slightly shake his sleeves, and then walked away quickly with his head lowered.

His movement was very small, and if he were far away, he wouldn't be able to see any flaws.

Ji Wu Jiu moved his eyes away and looked at Ye Zhen Zhen with a heavy gaze.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't know why, "What is it?" She took the lens barrel and looked carefully. But nothing was seen.

"Let's go out and take a look," Ji Wu Jiu said, then paused, "Feng Youde, send the imperial doctor over."

The flower garden in Kunning Palace is not big, and the flowers and plants in it have long been dilapidated, but Ye Zhenzhen often sits here to bask in the sun. On a sunny afternoon in autumn, I move a big deck chair and sit on it to look at the blue sky; the pointed cornices seem to be about to fly into the sky in the next moment, but they are always still in the movement before flying, as if they have been waiting for thousands of years; Large cotton-like white clouds float leisurely, inducing people to fall asleep...

Kunning Palace is located in the middle of the harem, connecting the six east and west palaces on the left and right, and connecting the Qianqing Palace and the Imperial Garden in the front and rear. Although there are dedicated walking roads on the periphery, many palace residents are looking for convenience, so they are in Kunning Palace. Walking through the outer courtyard of the palace. Therefore, even though Ye Zhenzhen kept a tight watch on the inside of the palace, there were still many people outside, and anyone could pass by.

Today, Ye Zhenzhen stood in front of the flower bed and watched Ji Wu Jiu point to a place. The imperial doctor then went over to dig some soil, put it under his nose and smelled it, then picked it up a little with his fingernail, put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it. lick.

"Back to the emperor, this soil has been poisoned with chronic poison. If you smell it often, it will cause weakness and illness, yin deficiency and coldness, and even..."

"How even?"

"Cannot bear children."

Ji Wu Jiu’s expression turned cold.

Ye Zhenzhen was also shocked, "Is it going to endanger your life?"

"Well, if things continue like this..." The old doctor with a gray beard carefully considered his words.

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t wait for him to continue, and quickly stretched out her arm, "Hurry and show me."

I am very afraid of death. Ji Wu Jiu thought to himself.

Ye Zhenzhen, who was afraid of death, was finally diagnosed by the imperial doctor as having nothing wrong with her. It seemed that the poison had only been inflicted for a few days. Ye Zhenzhen finally felt relieved and ordered people to dig up everything in the flower bed and replace all the soil.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Zhenzhen thanked her from the bottom of her heart this time, because Ji Wu Jiu could have chosen not to tell her.

"If you want to continue causing harm to the harem, it's best to save your life first." Ji Wu Jiu knocked her head and turned to leave.

Now Ye Zhenzhen was a little confused. She and Ji Wu Jiu didn't like each other, and they both knew it. Why did he help so generously again today? He could obviously watch the fire from the other side, but this was a chronic poison and he wouldn't die in a while. Besides, so what if he died, shouldn't he be happy to see it come to fruition?

When she thought that they were husband and wife, but he would applaud her when she died, Ye Zhenzhen felt it was ridiculous.

As everyone knows, Ji Wu Jiu's idea is a little different: if he and Ye Zhen Zhen don't deal with it, that's their business, and there's no need for others to interfere. First, Concubine Li took advantage of the queen's favor by doting on her, and then someone secretly plotted to harm the queen. People in the harem were always willing to act according to the prevailing situation, and they used good tactics. When they saw that Ye Zhenzhen was not favored, everyone wanted to get involved. After stepping on it, I really forgot who the real master is.

A smart person hates someone trying to be clever and cunning in front of him, so in Ji Wu Jiu's opinion, compared to these people, Ye Zhen Zhen's straightforwardness seemed a bit cute.

Thinking that he actually put the word "cute" together with Ye Zhen Zhen, Ji Wu Jiu felt uncomfortable again.

So along the way from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, his face changed several times. Although most people couldn't see it, Feng Youde had followed him for so many years. With a sneak peek, he could quite feel the emotion in His Majesty's heart at this time. Tangled.

"Feng Youde." Ji Wujiu said after returning to Qianqing Palace.

"The slave is here."

"Find me someone. A eunuch...perhaps a palace maid pretending to be a palace maid. There is a light-colored birthmark on his right hand, about the size of a fingernail. After you find it, you don't need to alert anyone or bring him over. Just tell me which house he is from."

"According to the decree."

"In addition, send someone to the Huitong Hall to deliver the message. I want to see the Folangji businessman."

"According to the decree."
