When Concubine Li was performing her funeral, Shi Anxia was also present.
When she heard the words "live in different quilts and die in the same acupuncture point", she was still a little puzzled. She thought that perhaps Concubine Li was overly sad and had misused these words.
How could a noble concubine be "different in birth" from the emperor? That was clearly covered by a quilt!
Or maybe, that was just an analogy. She didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that she thought about it, it had profound meaning.
When Emperor Mingde died, he made a special statement that he did not need any concubines to be buried with him or to keep vigil after his death.
There are three endings for his harem concubines. The first is to follow the prince to the fief; the second is to invite himself to be with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng; the third is to ask for concubines with low status to live outside the palace.
After King Jin ascended the throne and became Emperor Rongguang, his true nature was revealed. He eliminated dissidents, assassinated the emperor's brothers, and even selected concubines from Emperor Mingde's harem to sleep with him.
Had Concubine Li not invited herself to be buried with her and ended her life, with her talent and beauty, she might not have been able to escape the clutches of Emperor Rongguang's servants.
But what really made Shi Anxia think of Concubine Li was not that she asked for burial, but that many years later Zhu Lingxiu was rescued from the underground palace and confronted Princess Chanyu.
This is also the reason why she knew that Zhu Lingxiu was hidden in the underground palace. The underground palace is a palace within a palace, and its construction is extremely complicated. Xiyingwei went in and out several times but did not find any useful clues in the underground palace.
But Shi Anxia knew about the situation in the underground palace. So she handed Cen Yuan a map before going to the princess's house.
That map is a complete picture of the underground palace.
After Zhu Lingxiu was rescued in his previous life, he also cursed Princess Chanyu as a "whore and poisonous woman" just like in this life.
Princess Chanyu smiled and said, "What kind of good thing do you think the sweetheart you are protecting is? If it weren't for her, I would have thought of the golden cicada's trick of breaking out of its shell and hiding you for decades?" ”
When Zhu Lingxiu heard this, he was furious to death.
At that time, Shi Anxia specially found someone to ask about the ins and outs of this matter, but in the end, he gave up because his words were vague and could not be tested.
This connection is consistent, if Concubine Li is Zhu Lingxiu’s sweetheart, and Zhu Lingxiu is forcibly assigned to Princess Chanyu by the Empress Dowager.
With Princess Chanyu’s character, it is hard not to think of ways to destroy Zhu Lingxiu’s so-called sweetheart.
Then, the only person Zhu Lingxiu can seek protection from is Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde failed to save his friend and his eldest sister's family. Now that he has an opportunity to protect his friend's sweetheart from being poisoned by Princess Chanyu, he will naturally spare no effort to do it.
So, the phrase "life is different and death is in the same acupuncture point" can be explained very well.
This Concubine Li either originally liked Emperor Mingde, or she was fascinated by the imperial power and wealth after entering the palace, or she thought Zhu Lingxiu was an eyesore.
Because as long as Zhu Lingxiu survives, she will remain an "old friend's wife" and Emperor Mingde will not touch her.
Only when Zhu Lingxiu dies can she have the chance to truly become Emperor Mingde's woman.
I don’t know if Emperor Mingde has held on to it all these years.
No, it must have been defended! Otherwise, why would there be any resentment about "being born in a different quilt". After figuring this out, Shi Anxia's affection for Emperor Mingde doubled.
This emperor is so good! He looks majestic, but also values love and righteousness. He is a man who truly has mountains and rivers in his heart and mountains and rivers in his eyes!
It is normal for such a person to be loved by others. At this moment, Shi Anxia was suddenly very sure: Concubine Li only liked Emperor Mingde from beginning to end.
At the very least, after the death of Emperor Mingde, she insisted on "death at the same point"... This arrangement, tsk, is a bit disturbing.
The coffin of Emperor Mingde cannot be covered. Shi Anxia felt extremely sympathetic to the emperor of that life at this moment.
As for Zhu Lingxiu, maybe it was just a stepping stone for Concubine Li to get closer to Emperor Mingde.
This conclusion was confirmed by the news that Cen Yuan received the next day: Concubine Li's real name was Li Qinghui, and she was actually Zhu Lingxiu's cousin.
In this life, Zhu Lingxiu came out of the underground palace ahead of time, and Emperor Mingde also executed Princess Chanyu.
Then next, Emperor Mingde must let Concubine Li "escape" and return to Zhu Lingxiu in another identity.
For some reason, when Shi Anxia thought of the word "death escape", her heart palpitated, she couldn't breathe, and she kept coughing.
After resting for a long time, her face turned pale and she recovered.
Bei Anxia felt very distressed and held a water glass to her mouth, "Girl, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Shi Anxia took a sip. Lying down on the small table on the soft couch, she waved her hand, "It's okay, why are you so squeamish?"
Qiu Hongyan couldn't help it anymore, "Sister Xia'er, this is not squeamish or squeamish. You yesterday Don't you have any thoughts after staying up late? Look at your eyes, they are so black. You can't think about anything anymore. Get some sleep quickly."
Shi Anxia looked at this. The decent little housekeeper couldn't help but smile, "It's a clear day, how can you catch up on sleep? It won't make people laugh if you spread the word."
"Who dares to laugh!" Qiu Hongyan said neatly. After pouring hot water and soaking the towel, he walked up to Shi Anxia and stared at her without any doubt, "Lie down!"
Shi Anxia just lay down obediently, feeling hot and hot. Apply a soft clean cloth to your eyes, which is particularly comfortable.
Qiu Hongyan pressed her fingers on her temples with neither light nor heavy force. Sometimes she pressed in with a little force, and sometimes she made circles with her fingers on the acupuncture points.
Shi Anxia was so comfortable that she groaned, "Xiao Hongyan, where did you learn these techniques? They make people not want to move."
Qiu Hongyan smiled arrogantly "Humph, just don't want to move. Sister Xia'er, you are just too tired. Look at which girl is like you. They are busy during the day and at night, and have no time to rest..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped.
Because she heard that Sister Xia'er was so good at kung fu and snored lightly, which showed that she was really tired.
Qiu Hongyan adjusted her awkward sleeping position, and her gentle snoring stopped immediately. She let out long and even breathing sounds, and she slept soundly.
Bei Fen raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up to the beauty.
Qiu Hongyan smiled, pursed her lips, and motioned to Bei Hui to get a small quilt.
Bei Hui suddenly understood her gesture, came over with a soft quilt, and covered the girl's body.
At the gate of the courtyard, Hong Que was stopping Shi Wanzhen, "Our girl has just rested. My aunt, please come find her at another time."
"The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. What are you doing?" Shi Wanzhen said and was about to rush in.
Hong Que was so anxious that she almost cried, "Our girl finally fell asleep. My aunt, can't you just do a good deed and let our girl go?"
Shi Wanzhen said, " "Hey, what are you talking about, little girl? I'm here to see my niece..."
Dongli pulled the crying red magpie behind her and blocked her in front.
Dongxi followed Dongli, "Sister-in-law, I advise you to think carefully before going in. What if you force your way in and our girl doesn't recognize you?"
Shi Wanzhen: "..." Hey! The little maids in Xia Shiyuan are each sharper than the other!
Before she could speak, Shi Chengxuan arrived.
Shi Chengxuan's head drooped, "I'm here to find Xia'er."
"Second brother, it would be nice if you came." Shi Wanzhen's eyes lit up.
"Second Master, our girl is taking a rest." Dong Xi explained neatly, "She is too tired."
Shi Chengxuan nodded, "Okay, I'll do it later. Come again." He walked away as if he hadn't seen Shi Wanzhen.
Shi Wanzhen’s mouth was open and she couldn’t close it for a long time.
At this moment, Yu Sujun also came, "Is Xia'er in the house? I want to discuss something with her."
Dong Xi saluted, "Go back Madam, our girl is tired and just took a rest. Look at this..."
"Let her rest and I will come back when she wakes up." After saying that, Yu Sujun also floated like the wind. Gone.
It seems that Shi Wanzhen’s mouth no longer needs to be closed. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
