To the east of the Forbidden City, it has always been a gathering place for powerful families. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And the big mansion closest to the imperial city in the east is the mansion of Wan An, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Late at night, in the study of Wanfu, Wan An, who had just received the news from the palace, couldn't help laughing proudly.

Very good, he knew that because of today's incident in the Imperial Garden, this Wan Guifei would definitely not refuse his request.

Seeing Wan An smiling so happily, Mrs. Wan beside him couldn't help but smile and walked over.

"Master, why are you smiling so happily?" Mrs. Wan Liu took a cup of hot tea and put it in her husband's hand.

Wan An took the hot tea, but put it aside again.

"Madam," he took his wife's hand, and his old face was very proud, "our family, in the near future, will also have a nobleman." ”

When Mrs. Wan heard this, she was first happy, and then sighed.

She is happy that her husband's niece Wan Ning'er is afraid that she will be selected in this draft, and she sighs that her niece Liu Ruyan will ruin her life like this.

That's right, in the imperial garden today, the show girl who wants to frame the crown prince Zhu Youzhu is the niece of the Liu family, the wife of Wan.

After the defeat of the Imperial Garden today, the Empress Dowager Zhou was furious. Of course, on the grounds that his niece was out of shape, he ordered his niece to be thrown out of the palace.

Let's ask, a girl who was reprimanded by the queen mother of the dynasty for losing her dignity, and a show girl who was thrown out of the palace, what future does she have in this life?

Seeing his wife's sigh, Wan An couldn't help but restrain some of the smiles on his face.

"Madam, it's a pity for this child. He patted his wife's hand, with a gentle expression, "But don't worry, wait for the future...... The old man will definitely not treat the child badly, nor will he treat the Liu family badly. ”

As for what the future holds, Wan An didn't say, but Mrs. Wan knew it.

The husband is looking forward to his niece Wan Ning'er giving birth to a dragon son in the future, so that the Wan clan can soar to the sky!

It's just that Wan Guifei would be so good-natured? I'm afraid not. She is also a woman, of course, she knows the dirty tricks of these back houses.

What's more, that ten thousand concubines are unusually domineering! Will the concubine Niangniang, who can pamper the harem for twenty years without decay, be a soft-hearted person?

Mrs. Wan would never dare to think like this.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wan couldn't help but glance at her husband with some concern.

"Master, according to the concubine, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to ......"

Before Mrs. Wan's words fell, Wan Shoufu had already shook his head with a smile. "Madam, you don't understand the affairs of the court. ”

Over the years, if there was no support from himself and other ministers, how could Concubine Wan Guifei, who was already old and decrepit, be able to sit firmly in the position of the first person in the harem?

This harem is closely related to the previous dynasty.

Besides, his niece is outstanding in appearance and talent, and with his support behind him, how can she not gain a firm foothold in the harem?

Besides, now that he and the others have no intention of tearing their faces with Guan Ju Palace. Otherwise, how could this Wan Guifei agree so simply!

Before her niece Wan Ning'er was pregnant with a dragon fetus, Concubine Wan and herself were people in the same boat.

Madame's fears were justified, but they were still a little too early.

Now, what they have to do is not to prevent Wan Guifei from being embarrassed, but to consider how to let their niece keep His Majesty's heart, so that she can give birth to the prince as soon as possible.

You must know that with the beginning of the year, after the crown prince Zhu Youzhu began to gradually take over the government, he and a few other cabinet elders already felt threatened. If he waits for himself and others after the crown prince ascends the throne, I'm afraid it won't end well.

If it weren't for that, how could he be willing to help Wan Guifei in today's imperial garden to assassinate the prince of the first dynasty!

After listening to her husband's words, Mrs. Wan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

She doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but her husband may not be able to see through the affairs of the back house.

It's just that now that the lord is on top of his head, he still doesn't want to pour cold water and sweep away her husband's interest.

Otherwise, my husband will probably have to rest in Aunt Chen's summer courtyard again tonight.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wan put away her melancholy, and when she raised her head again, she was already smiling. "Master, it's late at night, let's go back to the room and rest. ”

The niece of her mother's family has paid for the future of her life, in exchange for the gentle treatment of her by the lord today. I must not waste this opportunity to win the favor of the lord again.

Wan An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, took his wife's hand, and walked out of the study.

"All right, ma'am, let's go back to our room and rest. "As for the Xia Heyuan side, it's not too late to go back in a few days.

After all, today's matter, if it weren't for sacrificing Madame's maiden niece, Ning'er's affairs would not have gone so smoothly. Now it seems that it is indeed time for me to appease my wife these days.

……………………………………………………………………

At this time, the Xie University Scholar's Mansion, which is also on the east side of the Forbidden City, is also brightly lit.

Xie Qian, a scholar of the crown prince and Taifu University who had just returned from the East Palace, took Liu Jian and Li Dongyang and walked quickly to the study.

"Two adults, please take a seat!" Xie Qian stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, and after the two of them were seated, he sat down in the main seat.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Xie Qian couldn't help but look at Li Dongyang who was next and asked. "Master Li, is there any news from the Twelve Prisons?"

Li Dongyang has been in charge of the trivial affairs of the East Palace, and there was such a big thing at noon today. It stands to reason that the other party will definitely go to the Twelve Prisons to check the details of those show girls.

When Li Dongyang heard this, he couldn't help but nod solemnly.

"Lord Xie, Lord Liu," thinking of the news from the Twelve Prisons, Li Dongyang's eyes were full of anger. "The two of you don't know, the show girl Liu Ruyan, who has taken off her coat, is probably Wan'an's person!"

And several people know that this Wan An and Wan Guifei of Guan Ju Palace hooked up many years ago, so it seems that today's matter is undoubtedly aimed at His Royal Highness the Prince.

When Xie Liu heard this, his face couldn't help but sink, and he looked up at each other.

It seems that His Royal Highness's recent series of actions in the court may have made those traitorous villains have evil intentions. The other party can't wait to make a move!

And Li Dongyang's next words made the two feel inexplicably frightened.

"Two adults, this afternoon, Eunuch Zhang of the Shanggong Bureau went to Chuxiu Palace, and in the evening, Zhao Langzhong of the Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Rites quietly went to Wan'an's mansion. ”

Zhao Annai is the nephew of Zhao Mama, the godmother of Wan Guifei of Guan Ju Palace, and the people in his house went to Wan'an's house!

The meaning of this has to be paid attention to by the three of them!

After Xie Qian listened, he couldn't help but groan. After a while, he said with a solemn face, "Master Li, I'm afraid there are still their people in this Chuxiu Palace, you should send someone to investigate carefully." And the things around the prince are Lord Lao Liu. ”

As for who they were referring to in Xie Qian's mouth, the three of them naturally knew it.

Now, I am in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. They had to be a little careful. Otherwise, once the prince has something, I am afraid that the Ming dynasty will be in danger!

"Okay," Li Dongyang nodded, "Lord Xie, please rest assured, I will arrange reliable people to go to various places to check the bottom of those show girls." ”

Xie Qian nodded when he heard this, and hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Especially the fainting show girl today, you have to let people go and investigate." ”

He always felt that it was too much of a coincidence that the show girl fainted today, and the coincidence made Xie Qian feel too strange.

Moreover, Xie Qian, who has been by the side of the crown prince Zhu Youzhu for ten years, has also faintly noticed that His Royal Highness the crown prince seems to have a special concern for the show girl.

Next, the three of them carefully discussed the recent court matters. It wasn't until the east turned white that Liu Li and the others said goodbye and left.
