Chapter 177: A Month of Hardship
Concubine Meng Zhiniang successfully gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Mu Huainian, and when the emperor's eldest son was full moon, Emperor Kang Xuan would also canonize Concubine Xian as the queen.
Sang Luo returned to the palace, and Mu Zhanbei had been back to the palace for a long time.
"How?" Mu Zhanbei had no feelings for Emperor Kang Xuan, and naturally he didn't care about the so-called eldest son of the emperor. Otherwise, he would have known about the situation in the palace a long time ago.
Sang Luo took a sip of tea: "So far, everything is going well!" "But the next month is the most critical time, and the other three concubines and their mother's family definitely don't want Concubine Xian to become the master of the middle palace.
Especially the mastermind behind the last incense burning incident has not been found out until now, this month will be chaotic, I am afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes will not let go of this great opportunity.
Sang Luo is also tired of these bad things, but it's a pity that she not only can't stay out of the matter, but also has to take the initiative to rush forward.
I couldn't have been more congested!
She was distracted, and Mu Zhanbei on the side was also a little distracted.
After being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked, "The emperor's eldest son...... Nice? "Looking at her appearance, it seems that she is not disgusted with the eldest son of the emperor?
Sang Luo was stunned, and then pouted: "Ugly, especially ugly!" "Although Meng Zhiniang and Kang Xuandi's excellent genes are there, no matter how ugly the child is, it will not be ugly. But the little red-skinned monkey is really ugly now, and she doesn't like it at all.
Mu Zhanbei frowned slightly: "You don't like children? ”
Sang Luohu glanced at him suspiciously: "It's not my own child, why do you like it?" ”
Mu Zhanbei understands in seconds, if it is their own child, she will like it, is that what it means?
Sure enough, it's still hinting that he should have a baby together sooner, right? But this idea is very good, and Mu Zhanbei agrees with it very much.
Their child will definitely be the cutest, most beautiful and well-behaved baby in the world! Of course, their future children must not be as coquettish and clingy as their wives, that would be the most perfect.
Sang Luo didn't know that she was disliked, but even if she knew, she would compromise with her husband who had a strange idea. She is now a little worried about the situation in Yonghe Palace, now that the emperor's eldest son has it, Emperor Kang Xuan and Empress Dowager Wu will definitely make some changes in Yonghe Palace. They had intervened before, but they wouldn't do it with all their might. After all, at that time, the child in Meng Zhiniang's womb was not sure whether it was a man or a woman. Now that he has the eldest son of the emperor, he is quite in line with the king's heart, and his status is naturally different, so it is natural to increase his precautions.
But it is precisely because of this that people with a heart will seize the opportunity.
I don't know if Bailing is ready!
Sang Luo thought that those people would have to prepare for a few days before they could make a move, but he didn't think that early the next morning, Bai Ling quietly entered the palace, and his single eye was full of gloom.
"Something's wrong?" Sang Luo frowned slightly, and he could see that there was a trace of exhaustion between Bailing's eyebrows, and his single eye was also bloodshot, and his heart suddenly chuckled.
Bai Ling said unceremoniously: "Let someone bring in some food." She worked all night, and as soon as dawn she went out of the palace to find someone, and if she didn't eat something, she should have collapsed.
Sang Luo didn't say much, only asked people to go to the kitchen and get some food.
Bai Ling ate a seven-seven-eighty-eight, and then sighed comfortably.
"Since last night, there have been no less than ten groups of people, about seven or eight people from different forces who want to visit Yonghe Palace at night." Speaking of last night's events, Bailing was full of anger, and she barely had time to catch her breath after nightfall. If it weren't for the fact that she and Sang Luo had discussed these things after the birth of the emperor's eldest son, she had contacted the people arranged by the Meng family in time, and she almost couldn't hold it last night. Those groups of people and horses want to enter Yonghe Palace in all kinds of tricks. On the premise of not disturbing the little emperor, she will not let go of any fish that slips through the net.
Even if it was her, the intensity of the whole night of rushing almost dragged her down.
The other party doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts, let alone be discovered. She also had the same thoughts, you know, with a person who has no foundation in the palace, how difficult it is to secretly develop her own power under the emperor's nose. Those are not only her eyeliner, but also her subordinates, which are also her lifeline! She was reluctant to consume her people casually, let alone let the emperor notice, and then she would really be struggling.
Everyone has the same idea, she just needs to guard and occupy a certain advantage. The forces to which the people who came belonged were too mixed, and they were afraid of each other, so it was impossible for them to trust each other, and they could not let the other party know which force they belonged to. In this way, she can take such a slight advantage and send away the people who come to the night scouts one by one.
Killed some, wounded some, and her own people were also killed or wounded. Of course, the biggest casualty was the manpower that the Meng family had managed to develop. However, in line with the idea of "dead friends don't die poor", Bai Ling doesn't feel a pity.
Sang Luo also had a headache when he heard it! There were so many people on the first night, and I'm afraid there will be more people in the next night. Especially after the initial temptation, I am afraid that some forces will have to join forces. Once this happens, the pressure on Bailing's side will be greater.
"Your people exposed?" Sang Luo rubbed his eyebrows and asked.
Bai Ling denied: "Not yet! I made people make a little disguise, and those people would think that the little emperor was secretly keeping to protect the concubine and the eldest son of the emperor. But it won't be long to hide, and the little emperor will soon send more people, if people come from both sides, I will be exposed here. ”
"What do you want to do?" Sang Luo thinks he is a democratic person, so naturally he has to ask Bai Ling what he thinks.
Bai Ling rolled his eyes: "I can do what I say?" ”
Sang Luo turned a deaf ear and resolutely pretended not to have heard: "There can be no accidents in Yonghe Palace, and there can be no changes in the affairs of the emperor's eldest son Full Moon and Concubine Xian." "This is no longer just an agreement, supporting Meng Zhiniang to ascend to the throne is equivalent to putting the Meng family in opposition to the Wu family, the He family and the Gongsun family, as well as the forces that are attached to or united with them. With so many families at once, the Meng family is difficult to support alone. The Meng family needs a strong boost, and this help can only be provided by the Yin family and the Prince's Mansion. In this way, the Meng family can only take the initiative to show favor to the Yin family and the prince's mansion. In this way, the Yin family and the Prince's Mansion will be able to take the lead, and it will be much more convenient to do something in the future.
She had her thoughts, and so did Bailing: "I don't have enough people!" "And her people, she will never let them consume them for the sake of a Meng family.
Fortunately, Sang Luo also knew that it was not a simple matter to develop such a force in the palace, and he didn't plan to really let Bailing sacrifice all her people, so he promised at the moment: "I will let the people of the Meng family work harder!" If it really doesn't work, she can still ask Mu Zhanbei how many people she wants.
Bailing is satisfied!
