"I think the adults may be mistaken, the person who can save the girl is the adult, you are right!" Mu Qing said coldly, with a contemptuous sneer in his tone.

"Me?" Tong Yuan was stunned, but he immediately reacted to the deep meaning of the other party's words, he took a step back without a trace, and said vigilantly, "What does Niangniang want?" ”

Mu Qing's footsteps quietly circled around Tong Yuan, smiling sadly to solve puzzles for him. "I want your heart!"

Tong Yuan's back was cold, and he trembled: "Niangniang wants to kill me?" So you deliberately used Yuruo to lure me here? ”

Tong smiled. If this palace wants your life, I can attack you last time when I was in the Buddha Hall, so why wait until today? Mu Qing lowered his head and smiled lightly, but his eyes and expression were still peaceful, like a pool of stagnant water, which could not stir up any waves.

Tong Yuan knew that Mu Qing's words were true, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Niangniang still wants me to do things for you?" ”

"Not bad." Mu Qing said directly, "The matter of the household department last time was thanks to your help, if you hadn't been blowing the wind in Huo Xiang's ear, the emperor would not have been able to solve the dilemma so smoothly." The wisdom and means of the adults make this palace very appreciative, but I am afraid that you will not be solicited, so I thought of the girl and chose such a strategy. ”

Tong Yuan said coldly: "So Niang Niang wants me to betray Huo Xiang?" ”

"My lord's words are wrong, and the word 'betrayal' is really inappropriate. My lord, as a courtier of the six ministries, eats the king's fortune and worries for the king, your master is not Huo Xiang, let alone the palace, but the emperor, and can only be the emperor! Mu Qing's face was cold, his deep voice was like a clear spring, and his tone was very quiet. But in just a few words, it was extremely light and fast, but it was also cold without a trace of temperature, "Of course, this is said to be bigger." If you say it to a small one, it is a good bird to choose a tree to perch, and adults should also think about it, who can ensure that you can rest easy for a lifetime? ”

Tong Yuan instantly understood the meaning of Mu Qing's words. No matter how powerful Huo Pei'an is, he is still a minister after all, if he wants to truly sit back and relax, and be above 10,000 people under one person, he must become the emperor's person and work for the emperor. But having said that, Tong Yuan has followed Huo Pei'an for many years, if he suddenly turns his back on Huo Pei'an and becomes the emperor's confidant, once the cautious Huo Pei'an knows that he has turned against him, he will definitely hold a grudge, and I am afraid that he will not be able to eat good fruits at that time. But if he refuses Concubine Chen's wooing at this moment, then Youruo's life will be lost.

When Tong Yuan was in a dilemma, he heard Mu Qing's breathtaking voice faintly again. "My lord, think about it, the reason why the adult chose to stand on Huo Pei'an's side is just to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree, since the purpose of the adult is just to have someone who can protect you, wouldn't it be a better choice to take refuge in the emperor? After all, the emperor's backer is much more reliable than Huo Pei'an. My lord, you look back and think about it, although Huo Xiang is your backer on the surface, but every time something happened in the Criminal Department in the past, did Huo Xiang really stand up and say good things for you, my lord? In the past, the Ministry of Rites was also Huo Pei'an's person, but when something happened to the Ministry of Rites, he Huo Pei'an shirked it cleaner than anyone else, and this should be clearer than this palace. ”

"If the emperor wants to recruit micro-ministers, the ministers must not say a word, and are willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain." Tong Yuan said cautiously, "But why didn't the emperor summon me to the Qinzheng Palace, but to open this mouth through you, Niangniang?" ”

Mu Qing lowered her eyes and smiled, thinking that this Tong Yuan was not too stupid, but even if the other party raised questions, she had already answered in response. "How many eyeliners Huo Pei'an has in the palace do you know, if the emperor directly summons the adults into the palace alone, wouldn't it startle the snake and make Huo Pei'an have a defense? Moreover, the emperor has always been above board, and what he dislikes the most in his life is to form gangs, and he doesn't bother to do those dirty things that don't see the light. Helplessly, if you want to deal with an old fox like Huo Pei'an, you can't use some means, so this palace has to secretly hide from the emperor to do something, anyway, this palace doesn't mind being the so-called bad guy. ”

"What does Niangniang mean is that it was not the emperor's intention to win over Weichen?" Tong Yuan was surprised.

"It's really the emperor's intention, but the emperor is embarrassed to speak, and some words are hidden in his stomach." Mu Qing said word by word, with a trace of calculation hidden in the corner of his eye, "Huo Xiangquan has been in the government and the opposition for many years, and it has reached the point where he covers the sky with one hand, and the emperor has long been wary of him, but he is afraid of Huo Xiang's forces so he has not made a move." But Huo Pei'an has always been a disaster, if this person is not removed, the emperor's heart will not be able to settle down. This palace is a woman's family, and she doesn't know what the government affairs are, so she only thinks that she can solve problems for the emperor and make the emperor happy. So if the emperor doesn't want to say it, then let the palace say it, and what the emperor doesn't want to do, you can also fake it to the palace. In the final analysis, everyone is doing things for the emperor and for the good of the country! ”

Tong Yuan snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "The siege of the city didn't know that Niangniang was so righteous Ling Ran, in order to share the emperor's worries, she was willing to risk being detained for the crime of interfering in politics. ”

"Since Lord Tong suspects that this palace has other plans, then this palace is not afraid to open up with you. Another reason why Bengong went to such great lengths to bring down Huo Pei'an was because of his daughter!"

"Huo Xiang's daughter?" Tong Yuan was stunned, "You mean the queen mother?" ”

"Not bad. The women in the palace, which one is not eager to sit on that phoenix chair, the mother of the world? Although this palace is deeply favored by the dragon, after all, she is only a concubine, and she is one head shorter than the Huo family. Mu Qing said coldly, a whirlpool churning in his deep pupils, "The queen is Huo Pei'an's daughter, as long as Huo Pei'an does not fall, the queen's position will never change hands." ”

Tong Yuan suddenly realized that this woman had tried her best to win herself over, and she intended to use the emperor's hand to bring down Huo Pei'an, in order to sit on the queen's throne. Mu Qing's reason made Tong Yuan quite convinced, and finally let him let down his guard, after all, the battle between the women of the harem was indeed no less than that of the previous dynasty. Tong Yuan sneered in his heart, a woman is a woman, and she always thinks about such things.

Tong Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that Niangniang's appetite is not small!" ”

"Since you have entered the palace, how can you do it without a little ** and selfishness? Isn't it the same with adults? Mu Qing smiled evilly, and said without hesitation, "As long as the adults are willing to do things for the palace, when the day of success, the benefits that the adults should have, the palace will not be missing you." ”
