She also didn't want Li Hai to die so easily. Li Hai will always go to the point where he can't live by his own crimes. Therefore, she did not force Yan Li to immediately agree to deal with Li Hai with her.
"Okay, the weather is so good today, let's not talk about such a heavy topic; let's go out for a walk, and we will find a lot of fun in the world. Like guilt."
Yan Li was still thinking about the Empress Dowager's construction work, so Rong Chang'an dragged him out of the room, watched the flowers blooming and the willows were green, listened to the fragmentary birdsong, and let the clear snow flutter down on his head and arms.
In a few days it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. Li Hai is not like in previous years when he asked all the ministers to celebrate her birthday. Instead, he just set up an abbot table in Fengzao Palace, covered with all kinds of delicacies, rare fruits and wines.
The Empress Dowager was dressed up and sat in the first place, Li Hai sat next to her, and Rong Changan sat next to Li Hai. In addition, there are three ministers.
"Queen Mother, today's birthday banquet is a bit simple, please forgive me." Li Hai blamed himself first.
The Empress Dowager knew that she had lost power, and now she was a prisoner of Li Hai. It was already good that Li Hai could hold a banquet for her, and she didn't ask for extravagance.
"I burn incense and worship Buddha every day, and recently I have become a vegetarian. The emperor bought me so many dishes today, and I feel guilty! If the Bodhisattva knows that I have broken my fast, he will definitely blame me."
With such a vicious heart, it is useless to burn more incense, and those who should go to hell must go to hell. Li Hai smiled, "The queen mother is really good at joking! Today is your birthday, a special day, and you should break your fast. I will give the queen mother a piece of meat."
Li Hai picked up the chopsticks, picked a piece of meat for the Queen Mother, and put it in the bowl in front of the Queen Mother. It's just that the queen mother was unhappy, with a sad face, and sighed several times with her face away.
"Queen Mother, what's the matter with you? Today, the Queen and I came to celebrate your birthday, aren't you happy?"
The Queen Mother gave Li Hai a cold glance, "Your Majesty, you didn't promise me what I told you a few days ago."
"What's the matter?" Naturally, Li Hai knew something. He deliberately asked her to beg him to show the current situation. He, Li Hai, is already aloof, and your queen mother is just a prisoner.
The queen mother also understood what Li Hai meant, she was really sinister.
"Didn't I tell the emperor that I want Zi Yan to come and accompany me? I am old and don't have many days to live, so I want to see my relatives more before I die."
Li Hai clapped his hands lightly, acting very guilty, "Queen Mother, look at my memory! I forgot to call Ziyan. I'll let Eunuch Liu go and call her."
As soon as Li Hai looked at him, Eunuch Liu understood and led a few people to the cold palace.
Zi Yan was sitting in the room embroidering, and Rong Chang'an said that as long as she could embroider the picture, maybe Rong Chang'an would ask Li Hai to let her out.
The first time she saw Eunuch Liu coming, Ziyan seemed to see hope. She knew that Eunuch Liu would not come here so easily, so there must be good news coming here now. She thought that this was Li Hai's remorse and wanted to take her out of the cold palace.
"Eunuch Liu, I've been looking forward to it day and night, and I'm finally looking forward to your arrival." Zi Yan cried weakly and fell to the ground, tearfully looking at Liu Gonggong, who was already a few years old, "The emperor asked you to come and pick me up. Is it right? I can't stay in this place anymore, Eunuch Liu, take me away!"
Thinking about how domineering and arrogant Ziyan was at the beginning, now that the fallen Phoenix is not as good as a chicken, it is really sad to see.
"Concubine, please get up!" Eunuch Liu hastened to help Ziyan. As soon as his skinny hands touched Ziyan, he felt that her hands were very thin and trembling. Cleaning the toilet, my hands are so tired that I can't control them anymore, and now I am embroidering day and night, "You kneel down like this, it's really a frustrating old slave."
Eunuch Liu felt that Zi Yan was lifted up with just a slight lift.
"Eunuch Liu, did the emperor ask you to come and take me out?" Zi Yan couldn't wait to know why Eunuch Liu came today.
Eunuch Liu shook his head, looked at Zi Yan with pity, "The emperor asked this old slave to take you out, but he didn't mean to let you out."
Zi Yan's heart turned cold, "Then...then why did he ask you to come?"
Eunuch Liu said: "Have you forgotten? Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday! The Empress Dowager wants to see you, so she asks the Emperor to take you there. You pack yourself well and come with me to Fengzao Palace to meet the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress."
Ziyan sat down on the ground again, her eyes rolled, she was very unwilling to believe what Eunuch Liu said was true.
"If you don't let me go, let me go out and make a fool of myself in front of Rong Changan, and make Rong Changan laugh at me? I won't go."
Now that we know today, why bother at the beginning! At that time, Eunuch Liu advised Zi Yan not to be angry with the emperor, no matter how wrong the emperor was, it would still be the emperor, if the emperor is unhappy, no one will end well. If Zi Yan had listened to him, why would she be like this today!
"Imperial Concubine Ziyan, you should listen to the old slave's advice, quickly change your clothes, dress yourself up and go to Fengzao Palace, otherwise things will get worse if the emperor blames you again."
The corner of Zi Yan's mouth twitched, showing a sneer, "The emperor is so cruel, keeping me in this cold palace is already the worst, can there be anything worse than this?"
She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she didn't know much about the hardships of life. If life is only bad at this point, then Amitabha will be born.
"Life is not the worst, only worse! Now you are full of resentment, lost your mind, and can't see clearly the opportunity in front of you."
Zi Yan's eyes, which had just darkened, suddenly brightened as if they were revived.
"Eunuch Liu, what are you talking about? What opportunity?"
Eunuch Liu said: "The emperor still has you in his heart. Now you take this opportunity to go to Fengzao Palace and beg the emperor to release you from the cold palace. The emperor is not a heartless person. If you sincerely repent, admit your mistakes in front of him. , use more gentle means, the emperor may change his mind, it is unknown."
Zi Yan became happy, and suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of it! The emperor must have me in his heart, as long as I sincerely beg him, he will release me from the limbo." Suddenly, hatred appeared in his eyes again, " When I get out of the limbo, I will make Rong Changan look good!"
Eunuch Liu just saw that Ziyan was pitiful, so he taught her this method, but he didn't mean to let her go out and fight against Rong Changan again.
"Let's go out first! Hurry up, the emperor is still waiting there! You must not presuppose being locked up in the cold palace behind the queen mother, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy.
