"With the world in mind and the people as sons, if the throne is what you want me to want, I will definitely show it to you!"

······

I was disturbed by Zhan Xu's brain, and I refused to talk to Tang Zhaoyu anymore, so I blindly hid in the house, and I didn't even go down to eat dinner.

Lying in bed at night, thinking about what Zhan Xu said during the day, I couldn't sleep.

"Sugar Candy, are you asleep?"

I slept in the same bed with Tang Zhaoyu, one slept on the other, and I called her a few times in a row, but she ignored me.

I got up from the bed and moved to her: "You can tell me about the situation in the Warring States Dynasty again." ”

"What are you excited about?" Tang Zhaoyu yawned, raised his body to look at me, and lay down again.

"You don't want to listen to you during the day, why don't you let people sleep at night?"

"I can't sleep······"

"How did you get scared of the assassins?"

"It's not... Tell me about it, how interesting it is to listen to bedtime stories. ”

Tang Zhaoyu couldn't beat me, so he could only tell me a lot.

King Zhannan had six sons and one daughter under his knees, the fifth prince died unexpectedly when he was young, the fourth prince had a serious illness when he was ten years old, and his brain burned out, and the sixth prince is now less than three years younger.

Now the only ones who have the ability to compete for the throne are the eldest prince Zhan Yao, the second prince Zhan Xiao and the third prince Zhan Xu.

The forces behind the eldest prince are the queen and her mother's family, although most of the forces in the court are civil servants, but they are intertwined, intricate, and difficult to shake, headed by the household department and the ritual department.

Although the third prince has not been loved by his mother Concubine Rong over the years, he is loyal and kind, and he has a good reputation among the princes, and many people in the ministry support him very much.

After the fourth prince fell ill, Concubine Rong gradually transferred her hopes to him.

The elder brother of the third prince and concubine held military power in the court, and was enshrined as the Marquis of Yongyi in his early years, and his descendants can inherit the lord for generations, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The second prince Zhan Xiao's biological mother is unknown, he has been raised in the palace outside since he was a child, and he only took it back to the palace when he grew up, and there is no support behind him.

But the royal affairs can't just look at the surface, the second prince has been helpless all these years but can survive in the palace, and he has become the first of the three princes to be crowned prince, but it all depends on his eight-sided exquisiteness and good means of dialing thousands of pounds.

But these two princes did not have any signs and clues of participating in the succession, and King Zhannan never listed him as a candidate when considering the crown prince, so why can't he be found out.

It seems that Zhan Xiao told me that night that he had no intention of taking the throne, and it was true that the third prince said today that he wanted to take the throne.

Zhan Xiao grew up outside the palace when he was a child, so he didn't know that Sheng Ge met Zhan Xu in the palace, but why didn't Sheng Ge tell us about her past with Zhan Xu?

Did I really guess right? Amnesia?

The state system of the Warring States was clearly divided between civil and military ministers, even the royal family.

Wenchen does not become a marquis, and military ministers do not participate in politics.

But these two princes, Zhan Xiao, are the only exception, not only can they discuss matters in the court, but they will also be sent to the border to inspect the troops every year.

If Xiao wants to take the throne this time, I don't think these princes are his opponents combined, they are really a terrible opponent.

But why didn't he want the throne? How did the suspicious King of Zhannan believe that he had no ambition for the throne?

It's really weird.

"Tangtang, about finding the Holy Gu, where do you think we should start?"

Tang Zhaoyu also sat up when he heard me talk about the Holy Gu: "I guess that this Holy Gu is in the hands of King Zhannan himself. ”

This is the same as what Sheng Ge said, but I don't plan to tell her about Sheng Ge's plan to exchange treasure clues for holy Gu now, if the time is not right, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"So you must work hard to gain the trust and love of King Zhannan in order to have a chance to find the Holy Gu."

Oh... It's the same as not saying.

"Don't you know anything about Sugar Candy·····"

I sighed, and tried to say to Tang Zhaoyu in a heartfelt tone: "My mother's tragic death was caused by the king of Zhannan, how could I get close to him." ”

Tang Zhaoyu looked at me like a fool: "Are you addicted to acting?" ”

Yes? What kind of drama am I playing, I'm so sincere.

"You went back to the palace for Shengge, do you think I can't see it?"

Yes? She's checking me again! Also found out!

"Please, we're allies, okay? Can you be sincere! ”

"I don't even know who you are, can you be sincere!"

"Let's talk! Let's talk openly and honestly, okay? ”

Tang Zhaoyu looked at me and stretched out his hand to me: "It's best for us to communicate with each other in a unified voice, so mutual suspicion is not good for each other." ”

Of course I could, reach over and shake her hands.

"I hope that our allies can be unsuspicious."

"In order to successfully accomplish our common goal."

After reaching a consensus, Tang Zhaoyu sat on the side with me and pulled the quilt to cover his legs.

"Let me start with it, I found out that you and Sheng Ge exchanged identities to enter the palace, and I also know that you have the fragments of the mechanism key of the legendary treasure in your hands. also knows that Zhan Xiao and Shengge are old acquaintances, and after looking at it these days, Zhan Xu should also be Shengge's old acquaintance. ”

"What else?"

"No ·····"

"And who are you?"

"I can only tell you that I am from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is not a good thing for you to know more." Tang Zhaoyu twisted his head and refused to answer.

Okay, let's not talk about pulling down.

"Do you know who I am?"

Tang Zhaoyu's eyes flashed: "You are from Liyuan." ”

"What is the pear orchard?"

"People in the rivers and lakes know the glory of the pear orchard"

It seems that she didn't find out about my background, and yes, even I just found out about it.

"Then do you know who built the pear orchard?"

"Former Dayuan's Princess Xuanji."

The night was dark, Tang Zhaoyu and I were sitting side by side, and I couldn't see the look on her face clearly.

"Then do you know who the pear orchard belongs to?"

"You don't know that you're from Liyuan, where do I know?"

"I just grew up there, how could I possibly know."

"I've told you everything I know, and now it's your turn." Tang Zhaoyu pulled the quilt and wrapped himself tightly.

"I grew up in the pear orchard, and the girls in the garden sometimes teach me some self-defense skills or something, and you know that I was originally going to stay in the pear orchard to be a girl."

"Later, Shengge came, and then I went to the banquet for others, and then I was tricked by you, and I was tortured inexplicably when I went back, and then Shengge rescued me, and we escaped."

When dealing with allies, what should be said is what needs to be said, and what you don't want to say is still what you won't say.

Tang Zhaoyu didn't interrupt me, so I continued: "Then she told me that she was the daughter of King Zhannan, so we changed our identities, and I went to deceive King Zhannan on the spot, and she did what she wanted to do outside, and we should be together inside and out." ”

"That's a good idea·····"

"Zhan Xiao knows about my Li Daitao's stiffening into the palace."

"Zhan Xu and her are also old acquaintances, but it's a childhood thing, and I pretended to have amnesia today."

"It's gone..."

Tang Zhaoyu stared at me directly: "Is it really gone?" ”

I looked back at her harmlessly: "It's more real than you!" ”
