Seeking Immortals

Chapter 5: Bad thoughts

  Chapter 5 Unsmooth thoughts

   Mingwei died.

  One piece of white silk, one beam, suicide.

  died on the night of teaching Li Qingrou Shui Qiduanjin.

  Wang Li discovered that Ming Wei was dead when he poured Yexiang in the morning.

  Wait for Wang Li to put Mingwei's body away in a white cloth before Li Qing came to Jiayin's room.

   Then Li Qing and Wang Li carried Mingwei's body to the Jingle Room one after the other, and the eunuchs in the Jingle Room carried the body to the Jingle Hall outside the palace for cremation.

  Eunuchs, court ladies, internal officials and concubines who have no relatives in the palace will be cremated in Jingletang after death.

  On the way back to Lenggong, Li Qing asked: "Have you heard about the matter of Aunt Shengyue?"

   "I have heard," Wang Li said casually, "it is the person who was invited into the palace by the Empress Dowager three years ago."

"Um."

  Li Qing nodded.

  Aunt Shengyue is Master Mingwei, who was bestowed to death by the Empress Dowager. Mingwei entered the palace to avenge her master.

  Wang Li shook his head and said: "The Taoist aunt didn't know how to measure. The Empress Dowager asked for Taoism, but the Taoist aunt said that the highest goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting. Saying this in front of the Empress Dowager is not seeking death."

  Since the death of the great ancestor, the empress dowager has been in power, and Daoist Shengyue made the empress dowager as indisputable as water, which is indeed the way to seek death.

  Li Qing can understand Taoist Shengyue's approach. She practices the soft water seven-duan brocade, and her heart and behavior are in harmony with water.

  One month after Mingwei's death, Li Qing never went to the Liyuan to watch the maids dance and rehearse.

   I really can’t understand my thoughts, and I’m in a bad mood.

  When I was like this in my previous life, as a craftsman, I could fall asleep very well. This body is incomplete.

  He is a **** and has nowhere to vent.

  …

   On the afternoon of the thirty-third day when Concubine Lu Gui entered the cold palace, **** Zhang Yong was carried out of the Jiamao wing covered in blood.

   There are twelve whips in total, and the whip penetrates into the flesh.

   "It's okay." In the dormitory, Li Qing and Zhang Li applied trauma ointment to Zhang Yong.

   "I can still hold on." Zhang Yong's mouth trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

   "What's the matter, it's not to tell you not to hang around in front of Concubine Lu Gui, it's useless to be beaten to death." Wang Li frowned.

"Hey, don't mention it," Zhang Yong said tremblingly, "in the afternoon, the **** in Huanyuan sent back the washed night incense barrel. The **** in front of Concubine Lu Gui had something to do, so I had to deliver it. The noble concubine saw me and said that the night incense barrel was not cleaned. , let me lick it clean, and then gave me another 12 lashes, and I was whipped while licking..."

   Poof.

  Eunuch Zhang Bai couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Yongzi, your mouth is not clean, you are not allowed to have dinner with us for the next three months."

   "Damn it, I've suffered so much for everyone, why don't you let me have dinner together." Zhang Yong cursed.

   "Concubine Lu Gui has been in for more than a month, why hasn't she come out?" Li Qing said suddenly.

   "It's coming soon. I heard that the Empress Dowager will return to the palace in a few days. Our hard days are coming to an end soon." Wang Li said quietly.

  Five days later, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager finished worshiping Buddha at Wugong Mountain and officially returned to the palace.

  That night, Concubine Lu Gui moved out of the cold palace.

   For this reason, the twelve eunuchs in the Lenggong made a late-night supper to celebrate.

   This evening.

  Li Qing tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep anyway, so he couldn't help asking: "Everyone tell me, I've been suffering from insomnia for more than a month. Is there any good way to fall asleep?"

   "I went to the Liyuan to watch the maids dance and practice music. You didn't go there often. I didn't see you this month. You must have less bad intentions. Eunuch, you should think more." Wang Li smiled.

   "Bullshit, I'm a eunuch, and birds are useless, so what kind of bad intentions can I have?" Li Qing retorted, "That's an appreciation of beauty, you don't understand."

   "I see, you might as well choose a **** and court lady who don't like you, and curse each other a hundred times before going to bed, maybe you can sleep." Zhang Yong joked that he was still lying down all day long with his whip wound.

  Curse?

  Try it!

  Li Qing closed his eyes, imagining the appearance of the Empress Dowager in his mind.

  Can't imagine.

  He has never seen the Empress Dowager.

  Then fantasize about ugliness, whatever ugliness you can do.

  An old woman with dense wrinkles, sunken eyes, split mouth, and lost hair and teeth appeared in Li Qing's mind.

   "You old hag, die early!"

   "You are not dead, how dare I practice Roushui Qiduanjin!"

   "Die to me!"

   "..."

   This night, Li Qing had a good sleep.

  After that, every night before going to bed, Li Qing would curse the old hag a hundred times.

  The afternoon of the next day after his insomnia was cured, Li Qing joyfully took a walk in the Pear Garden and watched the maids dancing for a while, but he still didn't meet the concubine.

  The maid's dancing posture is really good, I really want to see the concubine dancing.

  He is a eunuch, and he doesn't know how to come up with these strange ideas.

  Even if Mingwei's death is over, Li Qing doesn't think about it anymore, but he will always remember it.

   Another half a month later.

  The sage issued a decree to pardon Concubine Qi's crime of disrespect, to leave the cold palace, and to restore the title of concubine of the second rank.

  Concubine Qi was sent to the cold palace for a short period of time, usually staying for a full year. Concubine Qi was released from the cold palace a few months earlier, which may represent a different meaning.

   "Xiao Lizi, you really don't want to serve by my side." Before leaving the palace, Concubine Qi invited Li Qing again.

"Your Majesty, my life is cheap, I should stay in the cold palace, besides, there are too many rules outside the cold palace, I am afraid that one of them will offend the emperor or other concubines, maybe it will hurt the empress, then death will be unbearable." Li Qing's voice was sad.

   "You, you are still too cautious, which high-ranking **** in the palace has no courage." Concubine Qi chuckled.

   "Your Majesty, there is a small sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not." Li Qing said with a bow.

   "Say it." Concubine Qi glanced at Li Qing.

   "The highest kindness is like water, water benefits all things without fighting." Li Qing lowered his head.

   Concubine Qi's expression turned cold, her face turned strange, and she asked strangely, "Little Lizi, have you heard some gossip?"

   "No." Li Qing shook his head.

   Concubine Qi was silent for a while.

  Finally sighed: "I understand what you said, it is not so easy not to argue."

   Say it.

  Concubine Qi slowly walked out of the wing, surrounded by some maids and eunuchs, and left the cold palace.

  One month later, the Holy Majesty made another decree, stating that Concubine Qi is virtuous and in line with the Sacred Heart.

  Hearing this news, Li Qing shook his head: "Concubine Qi still hasn't listened to my words."

  The situation in the palace is actually very clear.

  The Empress Dowager is in power, and Emperor Taikang has been on the throne for five years.

  Emperor Taikang didn't want to be a human puppet, but wanted to hold power in his hands, so he would definitely conflict with the Empress Dowager.

  Before Concubine Lu Gui entered the cold palace, the first thing happened was that she occupied Concubine Qi's wing, and Concubine Qi dared not say a word.

   Concubine Lu is the grand-niece of the Empress Dowager, representing the interests of the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Qi is the favorite concubine of Emperor Taikang, representing the interests of the Holy One, so Concubine Lu first suppressed Concubine Qi after she came in.

   It may not be said that the Holy Majesty deliberately let Concubine Lu into the cold palace to suppress Concubine Qi. The Holy Majesty wanted to arouse Concubine Qi's resistance.

   Concubine Qi has the heart to resist, so the Holy Majesty can let Concubine Qi take the position, and compete with the empress dowager's harem group for power.

   Among them, one link is linked.

even.

  Concubine Qi was able to leave the cold palace early this time, which was also an exchange between the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, because the Holy Majesty also let Concubine Lu Gui out of the cold palace before.

   "I shouldn't be concerned about the plots in the palace."

   "With this time, why don't you curse the old hag."

   "Old witch, you die!"
