Chapter 580

When the sandalwood box was opened, there was a letter in it.

Seeing the letter, Chu Zhi suddenly hesitated: "if this is the Queen's last words to the crown prince, it's inappropriate for us to open it like this."

Meng Wan said, "if so, why don't you hand it over to the crown prince? Don't you think it's strange? The queen has something to say. She has to write a letter and hide it in the dark box? Is she afraid of being found or doesn't want to be found? We were hit by it, what if?"

Understanding the meaning of Meng Wan's words, Chu Zhi bit his teeth and said, "let's have a look."

But no one thought that the opening of this letter would reveal a secret that had been hidden for 20 years and set off an uproar in the whole girder.

The letter briefly describes the half life of the former queen, Li Meishu.

When Li Meishu was a girl, Xiao Qirong looked at her and asked her to marry her. The heavenly family gave her a marriage, and the former Emperor personally presided over it. The glory of the Li family reached its peak for a while.

No matter how many concubines Xiao Qirong has, his favor and respect for Li Meishu have never changed. The Li family has unlimited honor. Li Meishu knows that her majesty loves her.

Two years later, the state of Chu made peace with the state of Liang and sent two princesses LINGJI and Lianji.

Princess Lianji was born by the empress of the state of Chu. She once had the name of a saint. She had excellent medical skills. She was full of poetry and books. Her heart was kind and gentle. She was respected and loved by the people of the state of Chu; Although Princess LINGJI's birth is not high, she is a witch of the state of Chu. She is deeply loved by the high priest of the state of Chu and is also a person of great status.

Chu sent the two princesses to make peace, which shows their sincere attitude.

The queen thought that emperor Xiao would leave them all. However, the imperial supervisor said that Lianji clashed with her Majesty's fate. If it was a princess, it might bring disaster to the state of Liang. In addition, General Han took the initiative to ask for an order to marry. It turned out that general Han had known and promised to marry the princess long ago. This time, Lianji was also promised by General Han.

Seeing that the Xiao emperor was embarrassed, the queen took the initiative to make peace: "in that case, it's better to give Lianji to General Han as his wife and canonize LINGJI as Lingfei. It's just the best of both worlds."

Han Zhishan won the war. He didn't want anything. He wanted Lianji. Coincidentally, Lianji clashed with the life of emperor Xiao, and LINGJI was beneficial to the country. The Queen's arrangement was the most reasonable.

Han Zhishan, who had Princess Lianji, became more and more loyal to the Xiao emperor. The queen knew the safety of the state of Liang. Thanks to Han Zhishan's protection, she treated Lianji with great courtesy. However, somehow, Lianji didn't like to come to the palace, and Princess Ling always said some meaningful words when she saw that Lianji was in the same frame with the queen. Although the queen was kind, she was not stupid, After hearing this with emperor Xiao, Emperor Xiao said, "they didn't get along well when they fought in the state of Chu. It's good if you ask them to meet and don't fight."

Don't say that the state of Chu is the state of Liang. There are many discord between princes and princesses, so the queen knows what's going on. After that, she doesn't ask them to meet again.

And Ling Fei said to the queen, "the empress is really kind-hearted. You think my sister is a fairy and a confidant. Unexpectedly, it's just a story of a farmer and a snake."

At that time, the empress felt that Ling Fei was stirring up discord. After all, they had always been hostile.

Until later, Lianji suddenly fell ill, and the Marquis rushed back to take care of her. It was not long before Lianji became pregnant. In addition, she hurt her body when she gave birth to Han Zhan. Since then, Lianji rarely entered the palace, that is, all the palace banquets on New Year's Eve recuperated in the Marquis house.

The loyal and brave Hou is brave and good at fighting. With the continuous military achievements one by one, his majesty attaches great importance to him, that is, Han Zhan is in pain, that is, his Majesty's princes and princesses are not favored by Han Zhan.

I remember that some concubines agreed with him. In order to make your majesty happy, they said that Han Zhan's eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to Emperor Xiao!

If he said this, it would cause an uproar. However, the Xiao emperor was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and was in a very smooth mood.

I don't know how the queen heard about it, so she found emperor Xiao.

At that time, the empress always thought that emperor Xiao just liked Han Zhan, which would reveal her true feelings. She warned her majesty that although she loved Han Zhan, she should also pay attention to her words. If she was provoked by someone with a heart, the relationship between monarch and minister would inevitably deteriorate. The loyal and brave Marquis are the pillars of the country and must not offend.

After hearing this, Emperor Xiao suddenly realized and was very moved: "thanks to the Queen's reminding me, otherwise I would almost make a big mistake." then emperor Xiao threw the concubine into the cold palace. Fortunately, the people who heard this were just slaves, and the queen strictly ordered them not to say more, which saved a storm.

Later, when Lianji died, Emperor Xiao thanked Zhongyong Hou Baojia for his hard work in defending the country and went to the family to offer condolences in person. Empress Ling accompanied him.

At that time, Ling Fei also said, "it's a pity."

When she said this, she took a special look at the Xiao emperor, but the Xiao emperor had no expression.

Although the queen was confused, she didn't ask much.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Xiao was busy with government affairs and locked himself in Zichen hall. No one could face the saint. The queen was worried about Emperor Xiao's body, but her majesty didn't see anyone. The queen was not good to disturb emperor Xiao, so she went for a walk in the Imperial garden.

Unknowingly, she went to a secluded place. The queen found herself near the cold palace and was about to leave. She heard imperial concubine Ling say, "Your Majesty must be very sad to lose her beauty?"

"Ling Fei!" Xiao Huang's tone was full of warnings, "please pay attention to your words."

The queen was surprised. Isn't your Majesty in Zichen hall? Why are you here? And Ling Fei, why is she here?

At this time, the queen was separated from them by a rockery. As she was waiting to go out, she heard the spirit imperial concubine say, "why? I poked the pain of your majesty?"

The wise queen felt that it was not appropriate for her to go out at this time, and it was not easy to leave. She had to order her close maid not to speak. She found a stone behind the rockery and sat quietly waiting on it.

Anyway, there are some flowers and stones here, and I can't see her. When your majesty and imperial concubine Ling go away, she will go out again, so they won't be embarrassed.

After Ling Fei said this, Xiao Huang didn't speak. Ling Fei seemed to be angry and continued: "At the beginning, your majesty traveled thousands of miles to marry my imperial sister. Unfortunately, she fell in love with Han Zhishan and refused your Majesty's request. Your Majesty was angry and because of the face of the emperor, it's hard to say that I volunteered to marry your majesty to avoid causing trouble between the two countries. Otherwise, your majesty thought the state of Chu was good. Why did you marry me to the state of Liang? It's wrong to stay in the state of Chu All right? It's not because of your Majesty's war. There's no princess of the right age in Chu. So Chu Guojun accepted my request, and only the empress goddess was in the dark. She thought that Lian Ji was really bumping into you. This only gave Han Zhishan a wife, and reconciled from it. It really pitied the empress of the queen.
