Shen Lanying said in astonishment, "Since you are the princess of Qiuzi, why didn't you use the identity of a princess when you married into Yongguo?"

Concubine Leng sighed, "That's a long story. Wan'er, can you tell me that you, or the fifth prince, are interested in the throne?"

Intuition told Shen Lanying that Concubine Leng was well-intentioned, and the fact that Jiang Xu was ready to start fighting for the throne was already well known to the nobles in the capital. So Shen Lanying nodded generously, "Fei Jie and I will try our best to assist Xu'er, and the third brother will also help us." ”

Concubine Leng was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the third prince had fallen into the trench of the fifth prince, she nodded with satisfaction, "That's very good, I came to you today just to remind you to be careful of turtles." Although it does not directly border the Yong Dynasty, it is a large country as large as the territory of the Yong Dynasty, several times that of Linghai and Khotan. ”

Shen Lanying frowned slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Zhaoying is grateful." But why is the mother telling me this?"

It's really strange that the princess of Qiuzi actually told the contenders for the throne of other countries to be careful of Qiuzi?

A wry smile appeared on Concubine Leng's face again, "Because now I am Xiaoyu's mother, not the princess of Qiuzi." I hope that the throne of Yongguo can be passed smoothly to an heir with good character, instead of turmoil, or even let others take advantage of it. ”

This......

Concubine Leng, a woman in the deep palace, how could she be so clear about the current situation?

Or does she have news about the turtles?

Shen Lanying's expression became complicated, so she sat up straight, and said with a straight face, "Can Niangniang explain it more clearly?"

"Hmm. Concubine Leng nodded, "Then I'll tell you about my background, so that you can understand why I came to you." ”

Shen Lanying nodded, and Concubine Leng began to speak.

"Qiuzi is a country that values blood, there are more than 20 ancient surnames, these families are all nobles, and generally speaking, the emperor can only have offspring with the women of these families, and the children have the right to inherit the throne. But the current emperor is not...... He and I were born of the same mother. ”

The mother of the current King of Qiuzi died of illness very early. Because there are many descendants of King Guizi in each generation, and he came to prominence late, no one remembers who his mother was, and no one knows that he has commoner blood in him.

But he still can't let go, because there is still one person in this world who clearly knows his origin, and that is his half-sister.

This matter has always been a knot in the heart of King Qiuzi, and it was not until ten years ago that he married his sister to the Yong Dynasty, and the big stone in his heart finally landed.

And before Concubine Leng came to the Yong Dynasty, she also received a task.

When Concubine Leng talked about this paragraph, she couldn't see any emotion on her face, she only looked out the window in a daze, and the direction seemed to be north.

"There is a poison called a tonic, which consists of many kinds of tonics, and if a person takes a tonic that restrains each other, he will die violently. Some are two types of mutual restraint, which is more common. And this kind of medicine in my hand is ten kinds of drugs to restrain each other, and only when the last one is used will it be completely poisonous. ”

After Concubine Leng said this, her image in Shen Lanying's heart had changed from a charming and innocent favorite concubine to a hidden agent. Shen Lanying muttered, "So, have you ever used this medicine on your father?"

"If I said yes, would you tell him about it and let him kill me?"

Shen Lanying froze slightly, lowered her head, and said truthfully, "I won't tell my father, but I will tell Fei Jie...... As for Chenyu, I will try to protect him. ”

At this time, Shen Lanying lowered her head, and did not see Concubine Leng's expression change, only listened to Concubine Leng continue in an unchanged tone, "Before giving birth to Xiaoyu, I used the first three for the emperor. Later, when Xiaoyu was born, I couldn't help but think that it would be good if I cut off contact with Qiuzi and just want a stable life. Xiao Yu has Waiyi blood, and he is not naturally qualified to compete for the throne of the Yong Dynasty, so no one will be hostile to him. ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Leng stood up, walked to the cabinet again, and pulled out a dagger.

"But then the king of the turtles came to me, and he noticed that my mind had changed, and he gave me this. Concubine Leng pulled the dagger out of its scabbard and placed it on the table.

The dagger was made of animal bones, with an intricate pattern on it, and it looked like an animal's head.

Concubine Leng said, "This is the totem of Qiuzi, and the role of this dagger is equivalent to the gold medal of Yongguo's death-free gold medal." At that time, he clearly told me that his ambition was not only to take the throne of Qiuzi, but also to encompass the four seas and annex the eight wildernesses. ”

Shen Lanying said without thinking, "This is impossible, not to mention that there is a Linghai between the two countries, even if there is no Linghai, there is the Great Wall of Yanping Pass in the east and west, and there are 500,000 garrisons of the Luo family in the south. ”

"But Linghai is not an obstacle, but a knife from Qiuzi, in his words, a knife inserted into the hinterland of the Yong Dynasty. That's when he convinced me. If you see him at that time, maybe you don't think it's a snake eating an elephant. ”

Shen Lanying immediately retorted, "If you see the Luo family brothers and sisters, you may think that King Qiuzi is nothing more than Erer. ”

"Perhaps...... But now, one of the brothers and sisters of the Luo family is in Huaihai, and the other is pregnant. Who's going to resist the invasion from the north?"

Concubine Leng finally stopped Shen Lanying when she said this.

When Shen Lanying first knew that the troops in the north were being emptied, she also asked the Luo family such a question, and the Luo family's reply at that time was: Yes, there is a teenage Luo family child over there.

Shen Lanying was silent, and Concubine Leng saw that she didn't reply, so she said, "The year before last, I used the seventh medicine for the emperor, but I found that his physical condition had deteriorated rapidly, and I checked the emperor's body and found that I was not the only one who poisoned him. ”

So, who else wants to hurt the old man?

Concubine Leng said, "I'm not sure if it's the hands and feet of Qiuzi." According to the character of King Guizi, it is very likely. There's no way he's going to bet all his bets on me alone, and it's likely that he's second-hand......"

Without waiting for Concubine Leng to finish speaking, Shen Lanying interrupted her, frowned and asked, "Then how is my father's physical condition? You are still poisoning him?"

"No, when I found out that there were other people who also wanted to poison the emperor, I began to detoxify the emperor. The reason why I did this is because I was favored by the emperor, and if something happens to the emperor, the first person to be suspected will definitely be me, which will naturally implicate Xiaoyu. The second reason is that the reason why King Qiuzi made second-hand preparations shows that he doesn't trust me, and since this is the case, then I can't put the fate of me and Xiaoyu in his hands. ”
