Inside the Zhengyang Palace. Queen Zhao Ran looked at the note in her hand with an iron face, her silver teeth clenched, and a trace of panic and anger flashed in her eyes.

With a "bang", Xiu Hand smashed on the solid wood tabletop, and his palm was a little red. But at this time, Zhao Ran obviously didn't have the heart to notice this pain, but instead roared.

"Ling'er, she's simply ...... Extremely daring... She... She...... This... What a nonsense!!"

seemed to want to search for some words to express anger, but in the end, Zhao Ran still sighed, she had lived in the harem for many years, she had long developed the habit of being moody, facing the thoughtful emperor, facing those concubines who wanted to be on the throne everywhere, she always reminded herself to be solemn and dignified, and not to be singled out for any flaws. Therefore, she has been in the East Palace for more than 20 years and has not been shaken.

However, today, she looked at the note in her hand and it was messed up for the first time!

This is a note from Chu Ling'er, which actually says her and Chu Liurui's plan.

Forced palace plan!

As for the authenticity, she never doubted it, after all, it was sent by Ling Er's personal maid, and there was also her daughter's personal token. That's it.

"Mama Li!" Zhao Ran suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and called the old mama who had followed him for more than 30 years.

"Do you have any concerns about Ling'er's dynamics these days?"

When Mama Li heard this, she nodded slightly, and with a serious face, she truthfully reported all the big and small matters of Chu Ling'er in the past few days to Zhao Ran.

She read the note, and she was also shocked when she saw it, this is not a matter of killing the head, how can the eldest prince and the fifth princess be so reckless? Even if it is really as the letter says, with the assistance of General Zhao, this matter is not a trivial matter!

"Confused, confused!" Zhao Ran couldn't help but pat the table again, but she knew that things had reached such a point that she couldn't afford to take another half step back. Once you take the first step, you have to go down.

Zhao Ran closed his eyes a little tiredly, and his body seemed to be a little tired at that moment, not as straight as before. After a moment, I opened my eyes again, and there was clarity in my eyes.

"Mama, at this point, none of us can be left alone!"

Mama Li stood aside speechlessly, and her face returned to calm. She is just a minion, a slave who has been branded by the Zhao family since birth. Nature is to do what is told.

After a whisper, Mama Li bowed down and retreated, Zhao Ran looked at the fire of the note burning in the brazier, and her eyes revealed a kind of determination!

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

"So, it's just that the people in your palace found out that someone was poisoning the imperial dining room, so you let people notify the Prime Minister of Nangong?" Chu Hengjue looked at Liu Nuan, who was kneeling below, and asked rhetorically, but the sneer on the corner of his mouth was obvious.

"That's not it!" Liu Nuan didn't seem to hear the slightest ridicule in Chu Hengjue's tone, and his tone was suddenly a little unnatural.

It's just that the concubine inadvertently helped a little palace maid when she first entered the palace, and then she stayed in the queen's palace until the fifth princess was born, so she was sent to follow the five princesses. Liu Nuan seemed to tentatively glance at Chu Hengjue from the corner of his eye, and found that the latter's face had not changed, so he continued.

"A few days ago, she came to the concubine's palace in private to see the concubine, and said some of the five princesses...... She wants to ...... When the concubine heard about the rebellion, she scolded her, and she was most afraid of talking nonsense in the palace! After reprimanding her a few words, the concubine drove her out. ”

When Liu Nuan said this, Chu Hengjue's face was as usual, and he didn't see any thoughts in his heart at all, just looked at Liu Nuan calmly.

"Later, the palace maid left, and the concubine thought about it, so she asked her subordinates to pay attention to the recent behavior of the fifth princess, and found that she seemed to have been out of the palace many times these days, and often went out of the palace alone at night.

"Heh, the concubine is really not simple, I'm afraid that the princess's movements these days have been clearly checked by you, right?" Chu Hengjue sneered, looking at Liu Nuan's humble and calm kneeling appearance below, and couldn't help but believe what she said, the fifth princess is the queen's biological daughter, once she has an accident, the queen will inevitably have to take responsibility, Liu Nuan naturally wants the queen to have something happen!

These harem women!

"But I'm curious, why didn't Concubine Ai come to tell me after learning about this, but instead found someone to deliver a letter to the old prime minister's mansion?"

When the words fell, Nangong Lin also looked up at the thoughtful Liu Nuan Liu Guifei with a puzzled look.

"The concubine is afraid that the emperor will not believe the words of the concubine, after all, this is only the concubine's words. Liu Nuan smiled indifferently.

The words he said made everyone in the hall agree in their hearts, and even Chu Hengjue nodded after hearing it, if it was really as he said, maybe once Liu Nuan said these words to himself, his first reaction was the battle of the harem, and he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, it will startle the snake.

Turning his eyes and glancing at Nangong Lin, Liu Nuan continued: "And the old prime minister, as the assistant minister appointed by the emperor, has won the trust of the emperor, so he naturally thinks about the emperor everywhere, and the concubines are dull, but he also knows that once the old prime minister learns about this, he will definitely come to the palace to meet him, which will naturally attract the emperor's attention." ”

A pair of bright eyes looked at Chu Hengjue fixedly.

"If there is nothing to do, it is naturally excellent, and the concubines are willing to be punished; Or if this matter is true, with the assistance of the old prime minister, the concubine believes that the emperor will be able to have his own heavenly appearance, survive this catastrophe, and let those who have malicious thoughts confess their guilt and ambush them!"

The firmness revealed in a pair of bright eyes made Chu Hengjue shake his head involuntarily, and a figure appeared in his mind!

His right hand habitually stroked the string of blood-red Buddha beads on his left wrist.

The voice was unconsciously much softer.

"Nuan'er has a heart, get up!"

"Yes!" Liu Nuan's face was happy, and the heart he mentioned slowly fell, and this level finally passed!

At the same time, something was happening quietly in the entire capital.

For example, in a dense bamboo forest in the palace, several panicked little eunuchs were carrying a dark sack and throwing it down from the mouth of a deep well.

In the mansion of a certain general in the capital, a middle-aged man was discussing something with a young girl, and there were several people standing next to him, either dressed as strategists, or civil ministers, and even two people who looked like military generals.

In a slightly tattered firewood room, a man in luxurious clothes looked at the girl in a fancy dress who was tied by a rope in front of him with a gentle smile, reached out and patted the girl's somewhat dirty cheeks, with disdain and cruelty on the corners of his mouth, turned around and left the firewood room, ignoring the resentful eyes of the woman behind him.

"Master, don't we need to send a letter to the palace?" asked a small servant waiting outside the firewood room.

"Send a letter?" the man closed the folding fan in his hand, the corners of his mouth rose, and there was some mockery in his eyes.

"Do you really think that she and I are of the same mind? I will not believe anyone at this juncture!"

The crazy color on his face flashed, and he once again regained the gentle and jade-like appearance of a handsome son.
