Chapter 51: Conspiracy

Zuo Zhen has not experienced many things when she is young, and Ouyang Lin's sweet words are not the same as the intention of asking the teacher before, and she has long been provoked by Ouyang Lin's intimate actions. As the saying goes, when a young couple quarrels, the head of the bed quarrels at the end of the bed, and that's the reason.

Although Ouyang Lin is not a veteran of the love field, a Zuo Zhen can still hold the measure, the bed curtain shook for a while, the clothes were scattered on the ground, accompanied by Zuo Zhen's coquettish voice, this night should be a mandarin duck neck entanglement.

In the past few days, Ouyang Lin has rarely run outside in order to completely appease Zuo Zhen, and often stays in Zuo Zhen's room at night, being a competent and good husband.

Zuo Zhen didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart, her husband's love for her made her see hope again, at least her husband was not cold to her.

Zuo Zhen caressed her lower abdomen with one hand, her eyes showed a bit of hope and expectation, she wanted a child very much, preferably a boy, so that she would no longer have to look forward and backward.

The nurse has seen her aunt very considerate and cherished the young lady these days, which can be seen from the joy and laziness that has not yet faded when she saw the young lady at the earliest time every day.

"Miss, there will be." The nurse said with a smile on her face: "Miss Yi is now favored by her uncle, and it is only a matter of time before the child is born." Seeing Zuo Zhen stroking her lower abdomen with a smile on her face every day, the nurse understands everything.

"That's for the best." Zuo Zhen smiled and responded.

Ouyang Lin saw that Zuo Zhen was finally in a good mood, and his heart was a lot more relaxed for a while, although he didn't like Zuo Zhen very much, but there was no shying away from the pleasures of the boudoir between husband and wife, and women were to use it when they married home, and he never wronged himself in sexual matters.

Zuo Zhen's days are moistening day by day, but Aunt Liu in the middle of Shui Yue is sneering, she has experienced a lot of things since she entered the house at the age of fifteen, not to mention that she can see through the men of the Ouyang family, she does have a little thought, Ouyang Lin's actions these days are not just coaxing Zuo Zhen to play, which man is not greedy, just Zuo Zhen's appearance really does not have much ability to keep a man's heart, and let Zuo Zhen be happy for a while.

Mu Jinming has been studying at Wenchang Academy for a while, except for a lot of flies sticking around him, his life is quite comfortable. He didn't intend to play tricks under the noses of others, that would be too much to lose. Although the purpose of his coming here is to make friends with students and accumulate contacts, he is not in a hurry, and the people he wants to make friends with are not the sons of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but the children of poor families.

Most of the children of the poor family are arrogant, cold and backbone, but Mu Jinming still needs to work hard to test the person he likes, and he can't afford to have more nails around him in the future.

Mu Jinming misses her little sister Xi Chao very much, thinking about whether she eats and lives well outside, whether she is a good person, although there are frequent correspondence exchanges, but she still can't help but remember a lot in her heart.

On the flowered wooden bed behind the layers of curtains, a figure turned over and over without sleep, and every time the harvest in his mind was raised, he was covered in a cold sweat, and the wet and sticky clothes stuck to his body were extremely uncomfortable.

The maid who was guarding the room heard the sound of the bed curtain, got up from the low couch, looked out the window, and took light steps behind the curtain.

"Mother." The palace maid whispered softly.

The man on the bed rolled over and sat up and asked, "What time is it?" "I haven't slept all night, and I can't open my eyelids.

"Mother, it's time to get up." The palace maid replied.

"It's dawn so soon?" The person on the bed said in a slight trance: "Serve the palace dressing." ”

"Yes." The palace maid turned around and walked to the door, opened the door, and ordered the palace maid waiting outside to bring washing water.

The maid of the palace gathered the curtain layer by layer on both sides, revealing the owner of the bed and serving him to dress up.

"Mother, you haven't slept all night?" The palace maid saw the blue color in the master's eyes, "This is not appropriate, the mother still recruits the imperial doctor to take a look, and prescribe some warm and soothing decoction." ”

"The soothing soup will lose its effect after a long time." Concubine Chen looked at Fandel in the mirror and could still see her tired face, and her eyes flashed with cold light.

"Niangniang is working so hard day and night, her body will collapse." The palace maid Layue is Concubine Chen's right-hand man, and there are some words that you don't need to shy away.

"That's it, I'll go to the doctor after breakfast." Concubine Chen has been sleepless for three days, and she can't sleep all night for one thing, that is, the result of the previous poisoning, how can she sleep peacefully.

"Yes." Layue responded, and the work in his hands did not fall, and a few picks and turns were turned to comb the bun.

After breakfast, Concubine Chen sent all the palace people in the house out, leaving only Layue alone. The imperial doctor had already come to invite Ping An Pulse before, and he prescribed a decoction to calm the nerves, saying that it was made by love xù Ji Yu, and he needed to recuperate and think about some happy things.

After sending the imperial doctor away, Concubine Chen frowned slightly and thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't think of any way to find out useful news, and everyone would go crazy if she was so worried.

"Do you want to send a letter to the master?" Layue knew why Concubine Chen was troubled, and Tiyì informed Concubine Chen's maiden father about it.

Concubine Chen was stunned, yes, she was worried here alone, why not listen to her father's ideas, it's much better than guessing by herself.

But this is only one of the things, the other thing is that the third prince Mu Jinming after leaving the palace, no matter what the current situation is, the storage of the three princes is still a thorn in his heart, because he does not understand the temperament of the three princes, it is really difficult for people to be completely reassured, his son is competing with the eldest prince, and there is no extra time to ask about the affairs of the three princes, and it is really annoying not to let himself do it.

"It's okay, you can go for yourself." Concubine Chen was not at ease and deliberately gave a few more words.

"Don't worry, mother." Layue said with a smile.

After speaking, Concubine Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, why don't she do it again, it shouldn't be wrong again if it doesn't happen once, no, no, it's not good, it's easy to startle the snake, so, what should I do is the most appropriate?

By the way, why did she drill the tip of the horns, why not find another way, just in front of her, there is a ready-made thorn in the eye, Concubine Chen thought about it carefully, and the corners of her lips hooked a smile of unknown meaning.

Why did you forget that the three princes are not right in front of you, why don't you try the three princes first, if you become the person who just gets rid of this eyesore, coincidentally, the three princes are now outside, and if something really happens, you can't suspect your head; If it doesn't work, then it means that there is a problem with the medicine, and you can find another opportunity, and the previous things will have a clear result, so that everything can be solved.

"When I see my dad, ask if there is no medicine from last time." Concubine Chen said: "If you have it, take some back." ”

"Yes." Layue didn't ask too much and responded directly.

"That's all, you go." Concubine Chen's heart was relieved, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

Concubine Chen's father, Chen Yanzhi, served as the Zuo Qing of the Ministry of Officials in the court, and the Ministry of Officials was the head of the six departments, and the main responsibility for the appointment and dismissal, assessment, and promotion of officials, which shows that his position is high and powerful, as long as he is one of the officials, there is no one who has not been welcomed by his colleagues.

The Chen family has been a concubine since the concubine entered the palace, and now has a prince, who has been promoted to the concubine position in the **, which can be described as full of glory, coupled with the father of the concubine Chen Yanzhi in the ministry of officials, the Chen family has become a powerful disciple in Beijing in one fell swoop.

The glory and wealth of the Chen family today is inseparable from the help of the concubine in the palace, only when the mother's family is strong can they sit firmly in the palace concubine, and the mutual benefit of the two parties has today's Chen family, no wonder every three years when the big and small draft girls are crowded to send their daughters to the palace, they have the dream of being petted and the dog ascending to heaven, even if there is no young lady of the right age in the family, they will be specially selected from the family relatives, this is a good road to heaven, once the royal family is successfully born, not only the official position is accessible, even if it is a dilapidated small official family, can use this to become a relative of the emperor, and there are many people who are flattering, not to mention that the embarrassment at hand will be easily solved. Who can not be tempted by the great opportunity, and then there are those young ladies of the right age, who are also dreaming of flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes, and even more so are already imagining the throne of the world in their hearts.

Concubine Chen's current scenery doesn't know how much effort it took and how many stumbling blocks she removed to get to her current status. Although there is a higher position than herself Yuan Guifei pressing, no matter how many women she has, she will sit firmly in the second place, if it weren't for Yuan Guifei entering the palace earlier than herself and giving birth to the eldest prince early, she thinks that the title of the concubine will not fall on whose head it will end up with. Now that the royal family has thin blood, if you want to go further and become the queen mother in the future, you have to plan as soon as possible.

Now that the eldest prince and the second prince are fighting hotly, Yuan Guifei and Concubine Chen and the families behind the two of them all hope that their sons will inherit the throne.

As the emperor, Mu Haoyu wants the two to fight, so he rarely strikes to warn, and what the two of them do is timely restrained, and the officials below have already stood in line early, and naturally everyone hopes that their masters can go further, and with the dragon's merits, they will be rich and noble in the future. The eyes are fascinated by the great prospect and have entered the game, where can they see the danger around them is approaching, and naturally they will not remind their respective masters that the two princes have already crossed that line under the indulgence of the two phases, and most of the things they have done are out of line, but I don't know now, what kind of ending awaits the two of them is really imaginative.

As the biological father of Concubine Chen, Chen Yanzhi stood on his daughter's side early, and praised and strongly supported the second prince who was a talent.

Layue handed over the waist card out of the palace and went out of the palace gate, not caring about anything else to go to Chenfu first, she was cautious, and this time she went out of the palace to borrow the reason to go out of the palace to visit relatives on the first day of every month to avoid the suspicion of others.

When I arrived at Chenfu, Layue entered the house from the side back door, in order to prevent the people in the house from seeing Layue and causing trouble, there were familiar people in the house who were waiting for Layue and brought it into the study.

Chen Yanzhi received the letter earlier, and instructed his cronies to guard outside and let Layue enter the house to negotiate.

Layue remembered Concubine Chen's advice, explained the matter simply and clearly, and waited for Chen's plan.

Chen Yanzhi couldn't help frowning when he learned of his daughter's worries, he knew about the poisoning, and he could be said to be one of the planners at that time, otherwise Concubine Chen would not have had the audacity to bring the medicine into the palace.

After seeing that the emperor has nothing to do, every day on time to go to the court, Chen Yanzhi has the idea of failure in his heart, his daughter is frightened in the palace every day for fear of being exposed, he is also in the palace and has trouble sleeping, once things have unforeseen problems, poisoning the emperor is a felony of the nine clans, the idea at that time was just a thought, and now I am afraid after thinking about it, but unfortunately things have been done, and then it is useless to pursue the next thing, the top priority is to find a way to remedy it, fortunately, the emperor has no abnormal behavior, and the heart of the mention is half down.

Concubine Chen's worries are not unreasonable, Chen Yanzhi thought about it carefully, and felt that her daughter's words were somewhat feasible, anyway, the affairs of the three princes were known to everyone in the court, and it was already an open secret, and there were many nails around him to monitor.

However, the assassination of the three princes still needs to be considered in the long run, and it cannot be done blindly and rashly, so as to avoid letting some people see the clues, and a detailed plan is needed, as well as the diet and daily life of the three princes in the academy should also be ascertained, so that it is convenient to start.

As for the medicine that his daughter wanted, Chen Yanzhi didn't plan to let Layue take it back, he couldn't take another risk, it was poison, whether it could be used or not, if it wasn't good for people to find out, it would be wasted, and her daughter's current status can't be missed.

"You go back and tell Concubine Sù Chen, I will deal with the medicine so that she doesn't have to think about it, as for the three princes, you need a foolproof strategy, I will notify you if there is news, now the wind is tight, let her be careful in the palace, and don't show her feet." Chen Yanzhi instructed Layue to return to the palace as much as possible, don't let Concubine Chen wait in a hurry.

Layue got the word, and it was inconvenient to stay out of Chenfu for a long time, so she went back to visit her mother at home, and immediately returned to the palace to restore her life after buying some things to stay.

How can the big and small things in the palace be hidden from the eyes and ears of Mu Haoyu, the person in power in the palace, ** There are not many women and not too few, there are only a few people who compete for favor, among which Yuan Guifei and Concubine Chen are the most, which is also the result of his deliberate connivance. He wanted to see if Concubine Chen knew that the matter had not been completed, and whether she would take action, so he deliberately assigned people to keep an eye on everyone in the two palaces.

After learning that Concubine Chen had further plans, Mu Haoyu's face instantly became gloomy, and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes as he looked ahead.

"I dare to stretch out my hand to my Ming'er, don't blame me for being ruthless." Mu Haoyu had already had the intention of getting rid of Concubine Chen's mother and son and the family behind them, but because his plan was in progress and there was no reasonable evidence to eradicate Concubine Chen's mother and son in one fell swoop, it was delayed again and again, and now she actually wanted to do it again, obviously Concubine Chen was anxious.

"Your Majesty, is it too early to do it at this time?" Li Desheng is worried that there will be variables in the court, after all, there is one less prince, and the power of the big prince will be even more powerful if there is no one to suppress it.

"It's okay, we have to deal with the two together, although we can't get rid of them together, but it's enough to weaken the forces behind the other party." At that time, it is time to put some pressure on him, and only when he has a strong enough opponent can he learn from it, so that he can clearly see the intertwined relationship between the various forces in the DPRK and China, and only after more tempering can he succeed.

"Yes, the minion understood." Li Desheng understood the intention revealed in the emperor's words, which was a good way.

"Be careful not to let anyone find out." Mu Haoyu is not afraid of what the two princes will find out, the two of them have already entered the game too deeply, and what they are afraid of is Ouyang Ye, who is still uncertain outside the bureau, this old fox will pretend to be stupid.

"The emperor can rest assured, as long as he finds something to do for Lord Ouyang, he won't have much to worry about, especially if something happens at home." Li Desheng knows best how to turn the tiger away from the mountain.
