Chapter Thirty-Seven: Scheming
Tang Ying spent two days in the palace, and couldn't help but miss Li Chunfeng. Asking Wu Mei for leave was approved as usual, but this time Wu Mei asked seemingly casually: "Shadow, is there anything difficult for you?" Tell me, I'll help you solve it, so you don't have to run out all day long. ”
Tang Ying naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he prevaricated. Even if Wu Mei knew that it was Li Chunfeng and allowed them to be together, she didn't want to do anything under Wu Mei's surveillance.
As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, he was suddenly blocked by Helan Minzhi who rushed out of the bushes. She glared at him angrily and dodged to get around. Instead of dodging, he took a step across and blocked her.
Tang Ying couldn't bear it, "Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for telling the queen!" Helan Minzhi smiled evilly, "Shadow girl, go and say, I still want to go to the queen with you to make it clear!" ”
Tang Ying thought that he was worried about the affairs of Xishi, so he also replied with a sneer: "Okay, you go to her to make it clear." I can't ask for it. ”
Helan Min was stunned, "You, you have thought about it, if it is too late to ask me to raise your noble hand now." He looked at Tang Ying, no matter how he looked at it, he felt perfect, so he unconsciously stretched out his hand to hug her, but Tang Ying opened it mercilessly.
"You!" Helan Minzhi was annoyed and ashamed, and was about to fight back, but Tang Ying easily twisted his arm and pushed him to the ground. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would have such skills, the pain came from his shoulder and it was almost broken, and he was forced to beg for mercy, "Ask the girl to raise your noble hand!" ”
Tang Ying chuckled twice and shoved him to the ground. Helan Minzhi got up as fast as she could, but found that she had already gone away.
The eagerness to get it and the anger to be despised mingled into an evil fire. He angrily dusted off his robe and walked towards the court with a calm face.
Wu Mei is in the Ganlu Palace. Hearing that Helan Minzhi asked to see him, he felt a little strange in his heart, and it happened that Li Zhi was in the upper court, so he summoned him to the Ganlu Hall to meet.
The Ganlu Hall is a place where the emperor stays on weekdays, and the layout of the furnishings is all solemn, and Helan Minzhi's palms are a little cold sweat.
When she arrived at the main hall, Wu Mei glanced up at him and buried herself in writing, and asked casually, "Minzhi, why did you come to me for something?" ”
Helan Minzhi cautiously looked at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting on the side, and did not speak.
Wu Mei waited for a while, then raised her eyes to look at him. Seeing that he looked serious and seemed to be really inconvenient, he retreated left and right and left him alone. Only then did he speak: "Minzhi wants to tell my aunt about the shadow girl. ”
When Wu Mei heard this, she smiled and said, "Minzhi." There are countless women in the world, and I advise you not to hit her attention. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at the recital again, as if she had given an order to evict the guest.
Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Helan Minzhi's face turned red with shame, and he unconsciously raised his voice and said, "I, I don't want her!" Auntie, she is doing some dirty things behind your back, I'm afraid you are still in the dark! ”
Wu Mei frowned and put down the brush. Tang Ying is the person she trusts the most, if you compare Helan Minzhi and her, who is her confidant, there is no doubt that it is Tang Ying!
She instructed herself to enter the palace and saved herself several times. She has no family to glorify, second, no ambition for political affairs, and third, if she doesn't grab the emperor with herself, what is there to worry about?
However, Helan Minzhi has never been very proficient in court politics, and today she deliberately said this without knowing the sky, I am afraid that someone is chewing the root of her tongue behind her back, she stabilized her mood a little, and asked him to talk about it.
Helan Minzhi came to his senses, and his eyebrows fluttered and he told all the rhetoric that Yuan Tiangang instilled in him, "Li Chunfeng abducted Tang Ying and secretly wanted to be unfavorable to Wu Mei".
Wu Mei listened, completely pushed the fold away, and sat on the desk with one hand to ponder. She is a smart person, and she knows that the more conclusive the testimony, the more it looks like preparing for the haode frame in advance. She is her own, before Tang Ying entered the palace, she knew it from Li Chunfeng, and Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were both announced by Taizong to speculate on the fortunes of the country, and she was also very clear.
Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Helan Minzhi added fuel and vinegar and said: "Aunt Yu, Yuan Tianshi also said that if Aunt doesn't believe it, he is willing to testify!" After Wu Mei heard this, she didn't bother to look at him, and continued to fall into deep thought.
Yuan Tiangang, the person who predicted that he would become the ruler of the world since he was a child, has always been one of Taizong's henchmen, if Li Chunfeng wants to deal with her, then Yuan Tiangang must not be able to escape the involvement. Yuan Tiangang shouldn't be so stupid as to think that he can't even deduce such a relationship, right? Now such an obvious overture can only show that there is infighting between him and Li Chunfeng.
Thinking of this, she smiled. In Chang'an City, there has always been a liliang that she can't touch and can't ignore, this liliang is isolated from the world but deep-rooted, and has a strong influence among the courtiers. Earlier, she didn't suspect Yuan Tiangang, for no other reason, because Yuan Tiangang's official position was small and not worth mentioning. So she made the obvious mistake of really thinking that the greater the official position, the greater the ability.
It is also thanks to Queen Wang who dug her own grave and involved her uncle, Yuan Tiangang's friend Liu Zheng. Only then did she vaguely understand the relationship between Yuan Tiangang and these people who were both warlocks and ministers. She didn't say these clues to anyone. Tang Ying, who was in the center of the whirlpool, did not realize that Wu Mei had so much information because of his familiarity with the political situation.
Of course, she sent people to carry out detailed surveillance of Yuan Tiangang, and at the same time, she also monitored Li Chunfeng. Compared with Yuan Tiangang's private and intensive activities, Li Chunfeng's life is extremely simple. But given that both of them are worldly masters, her surveillance is incomplete and is often interrupted by accidents, which makes it difficult for her to judge whether the two have found out about her.
Tang Ying went out of the palace to see Li Chunfeng, she knew. But she never dared to believe that Tang Ying and Li Chunfeng were lovers. According to what she saw with her own eyes, Li Chunfeng has been an official in the court for more than thirty years, and such a gap in year-old love is really unheard of.
Yuan Tiangang's original intention of letting He Lanminzhi whistle-blow was to make Wu Mei suspicious of Li Chunfeng, and even launched an operation to separate him from Tang Ying. But he underestimated Wu Mei's thoughtfulness, she didn't want to get rid of him because he had predicted the heroine Chang, but wanted to bring such a talented and learned person under her command. If Tang Ying and him are true love, then she has to use the most indestructible bond of this time to make Li Chunfeng go to obedience.
Of course, deep down in Wu Mei's heart, there is a secret that no one knows. That's the immortal who saved her life in a row but didn't want to look at her. She is now more certain that this person is Li Chunfeng.
Wu Mei finally raised her head and smiled at Helan Minzhi.
Helan Minzhi thought that the most just and cruel verdict for Li Chunfeng and Tang Ying was about to be issued. Unexpectedly, Wu Mei opened her mouth and gave him an unacceptable answer.
