Even if the queen wants to beat the concubines, the timing is wrong. Mrs. Zhao Wubo, who came in a hurry, looked at Gu Zhen and sighed, this is her daughter who has become the queen, and her mother has to pay attention to what she says, otherwise, she will directly ask Gu Zhen if she is dizzy, "If you had a seizure earlier, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu had just contracted the disease, or when His Royal Highness the King of Chu had just recovered, even if everyone knew that the concubines and concubines were all wronged, and there was a difference between the noble and the low, you would always have to take care of your mood!" But at this time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has recovered, and you are fine, there is no evidence, isn't this afraid that Your Majesty will not feel sorry for them enough? ”

Gu Zhen said sullenly: "The king of Chu was sick before, and the palace was busy taking care of him; Later, the palace itself was not comfortable, and I lay down for a few days, and when I was ready, I had the energy to ask, didn't I? ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo said, "Then what did you ask?" When you took the rights, did you say why you took the rights? It's just that you don't need their help to share it, right? There is nothing wrong with these words in themselves, but you also know that Your Majesty wants to favor those concubines, especially the noble concubines! Earlier, the palace affairs had always been shared by the concubine, and she also handled several important things, and they were not bad. At this time, you can say lightly that you can take care of the six palaces yourself, just let her retreat, she doesn't say anything, the six palaces will think that you cross the river and tear down the bridge. What's more, as far as the concubine is concerned, what can you say? ”

“…… Now it's useless to say this, so my mother said what should I do about it! Gu Zhen said to himself, "It's like this anyway." ”

"If you don't make it clear to your mother, how will you know what to do next time you encounter something similar?" Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed and said, "You take back the palace power for nothing, of course everyone thinks that those few have shared your worries and hardships." But what if you don't take power for nothing, but because something went wrong with them? You are also honest, didn't you say that the real culprit who murdered His Royal Highness the King of Chu has not been found? Why can't you ask the concubines about this? The six palaces have always been taken care of by them, and even before you were registered, you didn't have palace power in your hands, so they began to take care of things. Now that something has gone wrong in the palace, who are you looking for if you don't look for them? ”

Gu Zhen opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while: "...... When the king of Chu was sick, the palace asked the concubine in private, and the concubine gave the palace some ideas. ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo was quite speechless: "So you are embarrassed to turn your face with the concubine in this matter?" Mother, the battle of the harem is not like you! Look at the concubine, when you entered the palace, you saw the former queen, and it is said that she is more interested in Your Majesty! And then? The Ji family is destroyed, the former queen has lost power, what kind of face is she? At this time, she is the Queen Mother, and she is just pretending, but is there real respect? If you're embarrassed all the time, you're embarrassed, what do you say you're fighting with someone like her? ”

Seeing that Gu Zhen didn't speak, he said again, "And before you started, did you think about your purpose?" Or are you angry and just thinking about making trouble, and you haven't thought about the consequences of making trouble? ”

"This palace ......" Gu Zhen pondered for a while, and said slowly, "This palace just wants to be powerful." ”

A touch of sadness flashed in her eyes, "King Chu looks like that, I still don't know the real murderer!" His Majesty doesn't care about this palace, and even the heirs under the knees of this palace are not taken seriously! If this palace continues to be like before, let the sixth palace think that it is a soft and easy to talk sex. Even if there are ten or eight imperial heirs under his knees, where can they stop the calculations in all directions? At this age in the palace, after all these years in the palace, I don't expect to be loved by His Majesty. I just want to call it the Sixth Palace, and I know that even though the palace is established by the family, not everyone can bully! ”

"The heirs under the knees of this palace are also untouchable!"

"That's a good idea, but why didn't you explain it when you took over the power?" Mrs. Zhaowubo is very sorry, Gu Zhen has been in the palace for almost ten years, and he has not made any achievements or appeals, and the people of Zhaowubo Mansion have no hope for this daughter.

So from the very beginning, it was decided to let her live a good life behind closed doors and concentrate on raising the emperor's heir to enter the East Palace.

This is mainly due to the fact that Gu Zhen's city is insufficient, and he also feels that Gu Zhen himself is not very interested in Weijia Sixth Palace.

I knew that she would think like this, and the family naturally had to plan for her.

sighed at this moment, "You said at that time, how dare the concubines find trouble for you?" Whoever dares to find trouble for you is to be a thief, and it is possible to murder His Royal Highness the King of Chu! ”

Not only that, but the hot potato that found a horse for Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui would not be the queen's turn, "If Your Majesty also hands over this mission to you, you will say that the real murderer of King Chu has not yet been found, and you have no distractions." Moreover, as the queen, you can't see who in the Six Palaces has harmed the prince under your knees, how dare you give Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a palm? Your Majesty must be speechless when you say so! ”

Gu Zhen hurriedly asked: "Then ...... the palace go and tell Your Majesty like this?" ”

"That's definitely not going to work." Mrs. Zhao Wubo said, "You have seen me before you say this, can Your Majesty not know that it was taught by your family?" When the time comes, I may think that your sudden acquisition of power is all the meaning of the family. How can Your Majesty not hold a grudge and think that we are intent on manipulating him? You don't know the fate of being held a grudge by Your Majesty. ”

Gu Zhen frowned and said, "Then ...... now?" ”

"Now we have to take a step back." Mrs. Zhao Wubo looked at her, "You wait a while to go and ask Your Majesty for guilt, just say that because of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you suspect the noble concubines and them, and use the opportunity of the Sixth Palace to be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Only then did he take a breath of relief, and immediately took over the power and tried to find the clues. But after persuasion from your family, you think it may be a misunderstanding. ”

"......" Gu Zhen was expressionless and didn't say a word.

Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed: "Are you unwilling? ”

Gu Zhen still didn't speak, but his expression said it all.

"I'm not reconciled, and my family is not reconciled, although our Zhaowu Bofu is not the top lintel, but it is also a powerful family, and because of the Dingbei Army, over the years in the imperial capital, even the Ji family has not dared to be too harsh on us." Mrs. Zhao Wubo said seriously, "What kind of thing is Concubine Min?" How dare you be so disrespectful? But there is no way, His Majesty favors her as one, and the most important thing is that it is difficult for a person like us who holds military power to have a good end. Especially if you don't look like the first emperor today, just look at the things of the Ji family and know that you will offend this son of heaven! ”

"Although today is the time to use my Gu family, I will be very tolerant and generous to you and the Gu family."

"But that's it, we can't make it public!"

"Otherwise, it's going to be happy now, and the Son of Heaven won't need us anymore, so ...... How can you and I meet like we do today? ”

Gu Zhen said sadly: "Then endure now, and endure in the future, but for how long?" ”

"Your Majesty is also a human being, and he will grow old." Mrs. Zhao Wubo stretched out her hand and held her hand, and whispered comfortingly, "You take good care of the imperial heir, and when the East Palace is established in the future, the East Palace will be strong...... At that time, you only looked at the current Queen Mother, who was still the Queen Mother who was not rightly named, who dared to offend her? is the Empress Dowager, who is not related to Her Majesty, but her identity is placed there, including Your Majesty, who dares to slack off? At that time, what is Concubine Min? Whether she can be a concubine in peace and stability depends on your face! ”

"But what if Your Majesty changes to a queen then?" Gu Zhen asked rhetorically, "Or maybe he thinks that the prince taken care of by this palace is not good enough, and he thinks that the prince under the knee of Concubine Min or others is more suitable for that position." Then mother, you say, what is the point of being patient in the palace and at home? ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo was silent for a while, and said slowly: "These are all things that have not happened, so why should Niangniang worry about the sky? Moreover, the Gu family has been standing in the imperial court for many years, and they have seen all kinds of situations, and many things will be considered by the uncle and the old lady. ”

Gu Zhen didn't want to listen to these perfunctory words: "It's easy to let this palace go to ask Your Majesty for guilt, anyway, in the past two years, this palace has been forced by Concubine Min, what kind of face has not been lost?" But the mother should know that this time the palace and Concubine Min almost openly tore their faces, but the final result was that the palace gave in first, so how should the sixth palace view the palace? It's okay for this palace to be wronged, and this palace is a little used to it. The question is, how can the royal heir under the knee of this palace not be despised? Now it's just that the king of Chu has made a mistake, and the meaning of His Majesty's words is that if other palace concubines give birth to princes in the future, they will be raised by the palace. ”

"But if something happens to the second and third sisters-in-law, what do you think Your Majesty will think? What will the Sixth House think? ”

"When the time comes, who will be cheaper for the position of the East Palace?"

"Although Your Majesty has been married for many years, because of the Ji family, how old is the eldest heir?"

"Nowadays, the princes are not very clear of being virtuous and foolish, and they can't even guarantee that they will grow up...... Unless Your Majesty has three long and two short, the ministers will definitely not invite the prince in a short period of time, and they must always observe it carefully. ”

"Chenguang in the middle, mother, what do you say this palace will use to deter the six palaces and protect the heirs under your knees?!"

“…… I'm afraid I'm thinking about the left. Mrs. Zhao Wubo pursed her lips, and after a while, she said slowly, "You just thought that you started to start, but you took the lead in giving in, and the Sixth Palace will look down on you, but have you thought about it?" You sat in the back seat because you were the daughter of the Gu family, not because you defeated the concubines of the Sixth Palace! And during this time, you have received the palace power of the concubines, presumably the harem is also in turmoil, how can Your Majesty not worry? At this time, you are willing to take the initiative to retreat, and Your Majesty is relieved, and you must be willing to take advantage of the situation to eliminate right and wrong. So whoever dares to ridicule and sarcasm you on this eye will not be able to get along with Your Majesty! ”

"When the time comes, you don't have to avenge yourself, Your Majesty will take the lead in taking care of people!"

"Even Concubine Min, if you are smarter, you don't dare to give in an inch because of your concession, but you have to be treated with extra respect!"

"Otherwise, you will offend Your Majesty!"

She looked at Gu Zhen and continued, "As for the safety of the heirs under her knees, you don't have to worry about this. Do you really think that the safety of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is your own concern? You must know that he is not your son alone, and besides, this imperial heir is the hub of mutual trust between the Gu family and His Majesty, do you think Your Majesty will feel at ease to let you watch him alone without paying any attention? ”

“…… Mother is saying that the infection of the king of Chu is really just an accident? Gu Zhen was stunned, startled, and muttered in a low voice, "So, the concubine is lying to the palace?!" ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo first replied to her about the illness of the King of Chu: "It is not easy to determine whether it is an accident or not, if it is not an accident, then it must be that the person who started it is His Majesty who is determined to defend it." But no matter what, you must have a prince under your knees who can live in the East Palace, this is the bottom line of our family, and it is also what Your Majesty must do. Even if someone poisoned him this time, His Majesty would definitely not condone it a second time. This is very certain in the family, even if it is the Queen Mother, in this matter, she cannot influence Her Majesty. After all, Your Majesty is not the kind of person who is stupid and filial, and if he were, our family would not take refuge in him. ”

"You say the concubine lied to you? What's going on? ”

Gu Zhen bit his lip, and said that he had doubts about the illness of the King of Chu but couldn't find the real culprit, so he sent someone to ask Yun Fenghuan for help, and Yun Fenghuan's reply was roughly repeated: "...... The palace was noncommittal at the time, but I still felt that what the concubine said was very reasonable, didn't I let the family look at the Xingningbo Mansion some time ago? That's it. It's just that the matter is big, and if you didn't enter the palace at that time, the palace didn't dare to say it in detail. ”

Mrs. Zhaowubo pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, the matter is serious, and it is always right to be cautious. Don't tell anyone about this, and the attendants who know it around you also knock on them, and they tighten their mouths. As for what happened, the family will check it out. ”

"If it's really the Queen Mother's doing...... Gu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What should I do?" According to the concubine's words, this palace can't shirk at all! ”

"Is the King of Chu really hopeless in the East Palace?" Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed and asked.

Gu Zhen hesitated for a while, and said sadly: "The imperial doctor said that the king of Chu is still young, and it is unknown what will happen in the future. But according to Bengong's observations, he is much slower than before Feng Han, he was very smart and clever before, but now he is a little muddy. Even the third prince doesn't like to play with him anymore, saying that he thinks he's stupid and not fun......"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo frowned and said, "Whether what the noble concubine said is true or not, I have to guard against it!" ”

After thinking about it, she persuaded Gu Zhen to ask Chunjia for the guilt, and then recommended some palace concubines to Chunjia, and even the palace concubines she promoted, hinting that Chunjia was more fortunate to these people, "You take the initiative to give in, so that Your Majesty will no longer be embarrassed, and your Majesty should also make a look of pampering you." Of course, this time will not be very long, after all, Your Majesty's mind is not on you...... Take this opportunity, and let Your Majesty be more fortunate to your own people, so that as long as Concubine Yuan Xian gives birth, these people are pregnant, and you will have room to excuse yourself. As for the rest, after my mother goes back, I will discuss it with the old lady and them, and I will tell you about it next time. ”

After all, Mrs. Zhao Wubo herself is not a particularly clever person, and it is difficult for her to give her daughter a bunch of reliable ideas in such a short time.

…… Not long after Mrs. Zhao Wubo left on this day, Gu Zhen went to Xingxin Hall to ask Chunjia for guilt.

Because of her grievances, this gesture of asking for sin is not particularly supple, but in any case, she lowered her head and promised to restore the situation in the harem, so that Concubine Shufei and Concubine De would continue to assist in the six palaces, and she would not take power so abruptly in the future.

The news soon spread to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, and the left and right were happy for Yun Fenglian, thinking that this was another victory for the concubine, but Yun Fenghuang was not happy, and sighed slightly: "I heard that Uncle Zhaowu just left, so the queen went to ask for guilt, this is the Gu family's move!" Such a family, even if one or two children are not good, can be rich and noble so far, and His Majesty still values it, and makes his concubine the queen, how can it be easy to provoke? Look at it, they must have a backhand, and it is impossible for these people in this palace to win so easily without a fight. ”

"This is to retreat into advance!"

Yun Fenghuan thought for a while, and then ordered someone to go to Concubine Shu to spread the word, "In the harem, this palace can deal with it itself, if the Gu family plans to start from the previous dynasty, but they have to ask Boss Ouyang to take care of it more." ”
