Since Bai Shan went to the hot spring village, Bai Yao was a little more silent. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only silently did the errand at hand, did not fight or grab, and did not think of showing his face in front of Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wanzhen looked at it coldly for two days, and she had a number in her heart. When he went out this morning, he told her to take care of Tu Manfen. Seeing that she was back, she went back and forth on errands, and she was also very measured and did not enter the room.

"Come in and talk back."

"Yes." Bai Yao responded respectfully outside the door, lifted the curtain and entered the door, squatting down to salute. His head was slightly down, his eyes were quiet, his face was clear.

"During this time, it is up to you to look at the east wing, and Miss Biao will take care of whatever she needs. If she feels unwell, she will come back to me immediately. ”

After getting the errand, Bai Yao's eyes showed joy, and he hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Bai Yao will definitely live up to the trust of the second young lady." ”

"Get up." Xu Wanzhen said slowly. She didn't even pursue Bai Shan, how could she be angry with Bai Yao? After all, she is the person who was rewarded by the Queen Mother, she is a good person, and there is no fault.

Bai Yao got up, bowed her head and stood in an orderly manner, waiting for orders.

"I heard that Bai Shan went to Zhuangzi that day, and you went to see her off?"

Bai Yao's heart was shocked, and she never thought that she could hide it from her wife. But a few days have passed, and Mrs. Hui suddenly asked, isn't she unhappy and wants to hold herself accountable?

After thinking about it, Bai Yao stiffened her head and said, "Yes." In the palace, the maid and Bai Shan have a friendship for several years, she did something wrong, and the maid failed to persuade her, so she had to go to send it when she left. After saying that, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

After a while, Xu Wan really said: "Bai Shan's fault has nothing to do with you." You're a good one to take care of sisterhood. It's just that next time, don't hide it from me, and you should send it off in the open. You are affectionate and righteous, am I the mean and unkind person? ”

Bai Yao was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The maid never dares to think of Mrs. like this." It's just that the lady is busy, and the maid doesn't dare to disturb the lady. ”

Xu Wanzhen said: "Since you have come to me, I will treat you as your own family." There are my rules in my hospital, these two days, you have time to ask Mama Zheng for advice, don't do it again. ”

Bai Yao hurriedly responded and retreated respectfully.

The hour was close to noon, and Xu Wan was really thinking that Tu Manzhen might not be able to come back for lunch. went to the east wing room to sit down for a while, and when Tu Manfen came back, he asked Sang Zi to take the little maid to the west room to set up a meal.

……

The study in the front yard of the Chung Kook Mansion.

Wu Lie, Wu Sheng, and Wu Zhengxiang were sitting in a precarious position, all with serious expressions. At present, they are discussing major matters related to the future of the Zhongguo Mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is life and death.

Wu Zhengxiang had already scattered his manpower, with this study as the center, and the inner and outer three floors were all his henchmen and dead soldiers.

After explaining the situation, Wu Zhengxiang asked, "Big brother, father, what do you think?" ”

Although he was very reluctant to admit that Wu Lie was his father, he was connected by blood, and unless he went to another country incognito, he could only be Wu Lie's son in this life. His body is deeply imprinted with the imprint of the Zhongguo Mansion.

Wu Lie pondered for a long time and said, "This matter, since the time of the rebellion of the King of Qianyang, my father began to think about it. To this day, I can't make up my mind. ”

The current prosperity of the Zhongguo Mansion is because the eyes of the deceased old Zhongguo Mansion are like torches and he has successfully hit the big bet. Between the original prince and the king of Ruyang, he stood firmly by the prince's side, and finally became the biggest hero of Conglong, and he was comfortable for the past seven or eight years.

But Emperor Qinglong has been the crown prince for more than 20 years, and when he ascended the throne, he was already forty-six years old. Now, the sons are all adults, and the turmoil of winning the heir has been staged in advance. This problem was once again put in front of the noble courtiers.

This time, can the Chungkook Mansion still be right? Wu Lie is not inferior to the old loyal prince in the battle array, but when it comes to political wisdom and vision, he is far behind. Therefore, after thinking about it all these years, he did not make up his mind.

And I don't blame him for being indecisive. After all, if you're not careful, you're going to die.

Wu Sheng said: "The prince is ruthless and angry. Although in the past two years, I have been assisted by adults, and I have acted calmly and quite kingly, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. ”

Wu Zhengxiang nodded, because the prince was angry with Xu Wanzhen and sent a killer to kill Xu Wanzhen, he made up his mind not to let him ascend to the throne.

In today's discussion, he seems to be asking for the opinions of his father and brother, but in fact he is dominating the topic and guiding the final result.

"According to the news from the palace, the emperor's health in the past two years has not been as good as in previous years." Wu Zhengxiang said slowly, his tone a little heavy.

Emperor Qinglong is also a master and a father to him, and his feelings for him are far greater than that of the personal father in front of him. But after all, Emperor Qinglong is an old man who is about to be sixty years old, the state affairs are heavy, he is diligent in government, and he needs to worry about major affairs in the world everywhere. Perennial exhaustion, even if there is the best medicine in the world, his body will inevitably lose. This has been particularly evident in the past two years. As he got older, Emperor Qinglong was obviously not as energetic as before.

Thinking of these, Wu Zhengxiang's heart couldn't help but be gloomy. If it weren't for that, how could he choose which prince to help in advance? How much he hoped that Emperor Qinglong would continue to be at his peak, then he only needed to be loyal to him.

"What?" This information is top secret, and even Wu Lie does not know about it. But Wu Zhengxiang is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he has to believe what comes out of his mouth.

Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered some changes in the palace in the past two years, and nodded slowly, "I think, the second brother is right." ”

"So I'm afraid we don't have much time left. If we don't make a decision as soon as possible, when the dust settles, I'm afraid that no one in our house will be able to get any good, but will cause trouble. Wu Zhengxiang said.

This truth, the three people present are all in their hearts.

If it is a nobleman on the side, such as those Bofu who have long since declined, or distant relatives of the royal family who are barely living. It doesn't matter which prince you stand next to or who you support. They were not conspicuous in the first place, and they did not have military power in their hands, and no matter who ascended to the throne, their lives were still the same.

But the Zhongguo Mansion cannot, or the four major Princes' Mansions can't stay out of it.

Especially the samurai family that is second only to the Dingguo Mansion. Now, Wu Sheng leads the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya and is in charge of the safety of the imperial city. And Wu Zhengxiang holds the Xiao cavalry guard, which is the biggest force directly under the emperor in the Gaomang Dynasty. The two of them, whether it is the King of Qi or the crown prince, who dares to ignore them?

This is not even about Wu Lie's influence in the army.

Although Emperor Qinglong was staring, the crown prince and the king of Qi did not dare to act rashly. But the contest between the two has become more and more frequent. Openly and secretly, both of them sent people to contact the three of them several times, wanting to take the martial family for their own use.

Samurai, I don't want to say anything. But is it possible?
