With the aid of dough figurines and tofu, Gentle and cleverly fooled Musk Moon, who was watching, and Zhu'er, the little palace maid who had been helping her all the time. Even though Liu Heng happily stayed for a banquet that night, and stayed overnight after a logical stay, he still couldn't find anything strange about it. .
Concubine Li still simply ate some vegetarian dishes by herself, and put the rest into Liu Heng's bowl.
Coincidentally, those green vegetable dishes were genuine vegetables. The Empress Li and Liu Heng ate them.
After clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, Zhu'er still avoided the eyes and ears of the crowd, and rushed into the Prince's residence.
Steamed catfish in black bean sauce, leek and fungus, preserved egg tofu, diced carrot, and pork liver soup with Ophiopogon japonicus and spinach!
He told the prince verbatim to listen.
So, as usual, the small kitchen in the prince's mansion prepared another table of the emperor's "imperial meal" with great care.
"Father really enjoys it!" His Royal Highness praised the catfish after taking a bite of it!
"Eating these delicacies in a different way every day! The prince has been following him every day for the past six months, and he really feels different!" His Royal Highness finally drank the delicious Ophiopogon japonicus spinach and pork liver soup, full of praise!
"Your Majesty, it's cool outside, you'd better go in!" In the middle of the night, in the backyard of Ganlu Hall, Concubine Li was wearing only thin obscene clothes, sitting alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, Musk Moon followed closely, took a coat, and its draped.
"Go get the medicine from the palace!" Empress Li refused, but called out coldly.
That indifferent tone was even more indifferent than the cold winter tonight!
"Empress, is the emperor asleep?" She Yue asked softly worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm asleep." Empress Li nodded.
"Your Majesty, the medicine has been kept warm for you. Let's drink it after the emperor is gone." Musk Moon was still a little worried.
"It's okay, the emperor is asleep." Concubine Li insisted.
Musk Moon couldn't resist her, so she obediently obeyed. Quietly returned to the kitchen, brought a bowl of reddish-brown bitter soup.
Empress Li didn't frown. But it seemed extremely relaxed, and drank the bowl of soup in one gulp!
"Concubine Li is sick?" In fact, Liu Heng turned over and reached out to touch his side, but the bed was already empty! The warmth of the spring tent just now seems to be just a dream, which is not true. Now, once she wakes up, she realizes that everything is just an illusion! Liu Heng got out of bed slowly. Walking to the door, I didn't want to hear this conversation between Concubine Li and Sheyue.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." She Yue bowed her head and struggled.
"Then don't talk about it!" Concubine Li's eyes were empty, she looked up at the white moon in the winter night, her tone was sad and cold.
"Your Majesty, this question has been held in my servant's heart for a long time. If my servant doesn't say it today, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but want to ask in the future!" She Yue was straightforward.
"Then say it." Concubine Li didn't turn her head, she still looked at the white moon in the sky.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor treats you well. You have also spent all your time cooking imperial meals for him. Why do you only see the Emperor smiling, but not you?" Musk Moon asked curiously.
"That's right! Concubine Li seems to have been such an iceberg beauty since entering the palace... Although her appearance is astonishingly beautiful! But it's really as cold as ice!" Liu Heng stood inside the door, thinking to himself.
"Some people have a happy face, but their hearts are depressed. Some people are as cold as ice, but who knows that her heart is raging fire?!" Concubine Li's words were clouded! Musk Moon seems to understand but does not understand!
This court lady who has been following Concubine Li will never know until she dies that the fire in Concubine Li's heart is not for the current emperor Liu Heng! But there is a big conspiracy, only she knows it! Even Sheng Biji and Liu Zhang didn't know about it!
A few years ago, Liu Zhang became King Huaide. Originally, Concubine Li wanted to act at that time, but she was worried that Liu Zhang was still young and his wings were not full. Besides, the method of action has not been well thought out, and I am afraid of acting rashly. On the contrary, they will scare the snake away and tire the whole chess game!
Sheng Biji already knew in his heart that Liu Zhang was his own flesh and blood with Concubine Li. Even if the father and son could not recognize each other, he, the prime minister of the Great Zhou, cared and helped the third prince of the Great Zhou all the time!
Even though he's been doing badly these past few years! Even though he received many criticisms inside and outside the court!
Sheng Biji felt that that was his son, and now that Liu Hengshang was kept in the dark, so he took advantage of his sage hand, combined with his own strength, to put Liu Zhang on the throne of the crown prince even if he praised him!
The struggle for royal power has existed since ancient times!
Even if they are brothers, father and son, there is no guarantee that they will turn against each other!
What's more, Liu Zhang was not originally of royal blood, he was just an outsider who sneaked into the royal family under the name of the royal family!
Therefore, everything must be one step ahead before the incident happens!
To walk ahead of others and eradicate dissidents, only by keeping Liu Zhang on the stage can he protect himself. Concubine Bao Li, even Liu Zhang, and this secret that will never be known to anyone!
Of course, this was Sheng Biji's idea.
In fact, another seemingly soft woman has another plan in her heart and actions for now!
The love of her life started with Sheng Biji, followed Sheng Biji, even if it ended, she would follow Sheng Biji!
Therefore, although she was powerless to resist the royal draft's order, she could serve two men who could separate physically and mentally!
Even though Liu Heng got her innocent body, her fiery heart was always in Sheng Biji's body!
That's why she was able to stay in the wing room of Bailong Temple regardless of her care, to be in love with her for a while, and to relieve her lovesickness.
Ever since she had the flesh and blood in her body, Empress Li had a stubborn and terrible idea in her heart!
She wants to give birth to this child!
She wants this child to be the bond between her and Sheng Biji!
Therefore, since Liu Zhang was born, she planted a seed of seizing power in Liu Zhang's young and innocent heart!
A mother with a severely deformed heart, that's why she has a son with a severely deformed heart!
Liu Zhang is domineering and arrogant, rude and presumptuous!
That was his inner dissatisfaction and desire for power!
That's why he tried every means to recruit soldiers; it was only by chance that he fell in love with Master Qiao, a relative who was not to be outdone.
Because, everything is as taught by his mother and concubine!
You have to perform well in front of your father! Make him fall in love with you.
You have to treat your prince and brother well! Then, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he captured it in one fell swoop, and stepped on it firmly on the soles of his feet, but he had to make sure that no water leaked!
Then, your royal father will naturally think of you, and then you will take the crown prince's place as a matter of course!
Liu Zhang did exactly that.
He was even more anxious. In order to gain imperial power, he did not hesitate to hire killers to assassinate the emperor secretly...
It's just that he doesn't know that in the heart of Empress Li, there is actually an even more unknown idea!
That is, she wants to take Liu Heng's life! Do not leave any traces!
Because, as long as Liu Heng dies, no one can restrain her freedom anymore!
At that time, Liu Zhang, who is the crown prince, will successfully board the plane and succeed to the throne, becoming the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
As the empress dowager, she can be fearless in the world, and even retreat to the mountains and forests, living in seclusion, and no one can interfere!
At that time, she will be able to live together with her beloved Sheng Biji, and live happily ever after if she continues with regrets!
This is the idea of Empress Li Fei.
So, by chance, I learned that Liu Zhang and Qiao's family are good friends, and that Qiao's family has always been cooking as a way to make a living and get promoted!
So, she thought of the meals that must be eaten every day!
If you can use the method of meals to carefully manipulate your mind, you can really hide it from the world without leaving a trace...
Leveraging her influence in the palace, Empress Li secretly sent people to search for strange prescriptions, and only then did she get a yin and yang cookbook.
Among them, all the ingredients are non-toxic and harmless ordinary things, but if they are eaten together, it will be like taking chronic arsenic for a long time, people will be poisoned slowly without knowing it, and eventually the internal organs will be damaged without solution It can be saved, the seven orifices bleed, and died of poison!
Of course, this kind of thought of killing people invisible is only in the heart of Concubine Li. Every night in the middle of the night, she was also frightened.
However, when I thought about following this path, not only would I be able to achieve Liu Zhang, but I would also be able to achieve myself and Sheng Biji.
So, she memorized the yin and yang recipes by heart, and then destroyed them with a single fire, resolutely deciding that her hands would be covered in blood.
Coincidentally, I met the ignorant, innocent and skilled Gentleman who was first selected as the imperial chef in the palace!
