Chapter 288: Sudden Enlightenment

The harem has been chaotic since ancient times, and if the candidate for this queen is not selected well, it is difficult to guarantee that such a situation will not occur in the current dynasty of the country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The more Empress Jingzhuang thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she felt that even if her body was not good, she would have to hold on until she found someone she could trust with peace of mind.

The emperor is a stern and rigid person on the surface, but in fact, there are often times when he is fragile and soft in his heart, Queen Jingzhuang understands him, so I also hope that the future queen is a person who knows how to sympathize with him, take care of him and be virtuous and righteous.

This person has to choose carefully.

Empress Jingzhuang decided to secretly look for it from now on.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." A palace maid came up to her and said to her.

She hurriedly raised her eyes and saw the crown prince Zhao Yuliang walking towards her in the night.

"It's cold outside, so the queen mother should go into the house." Prince Zhao Yuliang said as he walked.

"Hmm." Empress Jingzhuang got up and reached out to hold Zhao Yuliang's hand.

Entering the room, Queen Jingzhuang pulled Zhao Yuliang to sit down beside her and said, "Liang'er, if the queen mother is gone one day, who do you think will be the best candidate for the queen?" ”

Empress Jingzhuang deliberately said it in a very casual tone.

But Zhao Yuliang still shook from his heart, he looked at Empress Jingzhuang's slightly pale and haggard face steadily, and suddenly read a lot of information from her words.

"Why did the queen mother suddenly think of this?" Zhao Yuliang asked with concern.

Empress Jingzhuang smiled at Zhao Yuliang, clasped Zhao Yuliang's hand and said, "I don't know why I have thought about this problem recently, but my body is indeed going downhill, so it's time to think about it." ”

"Don't think too much about the queen mother, take good care of your body." Zhao Yuliang hurriedly said, but his heart involuntarily followed her thoughts just now.

If Queen Jingzhuang is not there, none of the concubines in the harem is really an ideal successor.

Empress Jingzhuang held Zhao Yuliang's hand and said seriously: "It's good to prepare in advance. ”

"The queen's choice is arbitrary, I'm afraid this matter has to be considered in the long run, and besides, we don't count if we say it, we have to say it to my father." Zhao Yuliang said.

"I know, but if it is my deathbed entrustment, Your Majesty will still listen."

Zhao Yuliang shook his head and said, "The child thinks that no one in the harem is qualified for the position of queen at the moment." ”

"yes, that's why I'm worried. But if I have to wait for the next draft, it's going to be two years away, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day. Empress Jingzhuang sighed.

Zhao Yuliang looked at Queen Jingzhuang's pale and haggard face and said: "The queen mother has been thinking too much recently, which is very harmful to the body, the child suggests that you should take care of your body first, and put other things aside for the time being." ”

"How could I not want to?" Empress Jingzhuang sighed again, she retreated from the people around her, and whispered to Zhao Yuliang: "Now that Zhang Zhaoyi is clinging to the suicide of that doorman, and often privately asks about the results of the investigation, I think she has doubts about my actions that day." ”

"The child only looked at her with suspicion, and with her character, if she really had the evidence, why should she follow the doorman so closely? Don't be afraid of her. ”

"I'm not afraid of her, but now she is getting more and more favored day by day, and the emperor is listening to her more and more, so I have to be more or less guarded."

Zhao Yuliang pondered for a while with a serious face, and said: "The child has sent Shen Zhu to quietly investigate Zhang Zhaoyi's life experience, and it is estimated that there will be results within this year. ”

Empress Jingzhuang asked, "What's suspicious about her background?" ”

Zhao Yuliang said: "The child feels a little suspicious, think about it - if she didn't instruct someone behind her back, would she dare to slander you and push her down?" Also, every step she took after entering the palace had an obvious purpose, and she obviously came here with a plan. ”

Empress Jingzhuang thought about it, so she looked at Zhao Yuliang and said, "I also had doubts about this. She is indeed a smart person, and it cannot be ruled out that she had a premeditated plan before entering the palace. ”

"So when she wants to grab you, we also grab hers, and it's up to her to see who gets the handle faster and more."

Empress Jingzhuang nodded her head.

Zhao Yuliang got up and said goodbye.

Back in the East Palace, the crown prince immediately summoned Gonggong Ling.

It didn't take long for Grandpa Ling to arrive.

"How did you do last time when the palace asked you to buy off a palace maid next to Zhang Zhaoyi?" Zhao Yuliang asked.

"Back to Her Highness, the palace maids around her are all loyal to her, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to defect." Gonggong Ling replied in a low voice.

Looks like we'll have to find another way.

Zhao Yuliang tapped his right hand on the table, closed his eyes and pondered, and only after a while did he open his eyes and say, "Among the people who entered the palace with Zhang Zhaoyi, there is a person named Zheng Cairen, right?" ”

He heard that Zheng Cai and Zhong Meiren were not worse than Zhang Zhaoyi in appearance and talent, but for some reason they had not received the emperor's favor, so they were particularly jealous of Zhang Zhaoyi in private.

But Zhong Meiren's mind is too simple, even if it is easy to buy, but the ability to act is insufficient, but Zheng Cairen is smart and clever and good at judging things, if she can be bought and let her pretend to be close to Zhang Zhaoyi, it is a good way to monitor Zhang Zhaoyi.

Father-in-law Ling hurriedly replied, "There is such a person. ”

"Find a way to find out what she means, if she is willing, then let her walk around Zhang Zhaoyi more often from today." Zhao Yuliang lowered his voice.

He actually doesn't like to get involved in the fight between these women, but he still has to do these things in order to protect Queen Jingzhuang.

"Yes." Gong Ling took the order.

As soon as Father-in-law Ling left, Zhao Yuliang sent someone to invite Shen Zhu to come.

After Shen Zhu came, he reported to Zhao Yuliang the results of his investigation of Zhang Zhaoyi's life experience in the past two months.

"Her background before entering the palace was investigated, and there is really nothing suspicious, however, the lower official once overheard a few very suspicious words." Shen Zhu said that he completely retold to the prince the two sentences that he had heard Guo Mao and the two of them say on the roof of a tavern more than half a year ago: "It must be put in place in March" and "You will go to Zhang's Mansion tomorrow and explain to them everything you should pay attention to".

The draft was held in March, and one of the selected show girls happened to have the surname Zhang...... The prince continued to close his eyes in contemplation.

Soon he suddenly realized that Zhang Zhaoyi might have been arranged by Guo Mao to enter the palace.
