"Gonggong Li, you go to Jinxiang Hall first and wait, I have something to say to Mrs. Po Yuhou." Standing in the twilight, Guo Guifei turned her head and commanded the eunuchs beside her.

The fat face was extremely smooth, and when he raised his eyes, surprise flashed, and he took a step back and said respectfully: "Yes, Guifei Niangniang." He led the way forward, and after a while, he turned around and walked into the other palaces.

Gu Qingwan looked at Guo Guifei, who was deliberately separating herself from the palace maid, and asked lightly, "I don't know what the noble concubine is looking for me?" ”

"This palace is a place of right and wrong, and there is no day of peace." The sentimental tone came from her mouth, and Guo Guifei was a little tired even with a smile, but unfortunately she was engulfed in darkness and was hidden like this.

Gu Qingwan didn't know Guo Guifei's intention in saying these words, so she could only remain silent.

It stands to reason that the Gu family and the Guo family have always been incompatible, and it is abnormal for Guo Guifei to take the initiative to find her this time.

"This palace knows what you are thinking, the Guo family and the Gu family have always been incompatible, mainly because my father and your father have always had political disagreements. The emperor also knows this, so he supports our Guo family to compete with your Gu family. There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. Now that we're a united front, why don't we join forces? ”

"Niangniang said that it was funny, my father and my husband are courtiers, so they are naturally only loyal to the emperor."

"Mrs. Poyu Hou, the Ming people don't say secret words, this palace knows that you don't stand on anyone's side on the surface, but in fact, you are more optimistic about His Royal Highness King Yujiang." Guo Guifei stared at Gu Qingwan directly, as if she wanted to see through what she was thinking.

She continued: "Let me tell you this, you also know that if you inherit the crown prince in the end, our Guo, Gu and Chen families will not end well." Our common enemies now are the crown prince and the queen. ”

"Niangniang, the concubine doesn't know what you're talking about, and it will naturally be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who will inherit the throne in the future." Gu Qingwan continued to pretend to be confused.

"Mrs. Chen, this palace knows that you are a smart person, you should know what the nature of the prince is, a wolf in sheep's clothing, once he ascends to the throne, shows his fangs, and exposes his true nature, it will be really terrifying."

Although Gu Qingwan didn't have much contact with the crown prince, she had heard about what Ji Sheng had done after she ascended the throne in her previous life, and she also knew that he would not be a good king, and his level of mediocrity and violence was a hundred times worse than that of today's saints, of course Gu Qingwan would not let such a person be the emperor.

"This palace has been in this deep palace for four years, this harem is deceitful, it is not a place for people to stay at all, and those who can survive here have already become demons."

"That's why you have to be so careful, even to prevent everyone from talking?" Gu Qingwan let out a sarcastic smile, feminine and unpredictable in the indifferent air.

"Do you think I'm willing to do that?" Guo Guifei slowly moved her steps, looking at the official road that was deserted after the banquet was dispersed, and had a feeling of walking away from tea, "Do you know that Gonggong Li just now is the eyeliner that the prince planted next to me, if you don't send him away, I'm afraid that what we say today will be truthfully transmitted to the East Palace tomorrow." And the palace maid here, I don't know who to believe. ”

Suddenly sank into darkness, there was silence, and for a long time, Gu Qingwan said quietly: "Niangniang is the most favored person in this harem, why is it still so difficult?" ”

"Even if you are favored and have no real power, what can you do, in this palace, it is common to have a red top and white, and a phoenix crown without real power, how is it different from an ordinary crown? If there is no emperor's protection, as long as the queen says a word, the palace can die without a place to be buried. With a sad sigh, the noble concubine who favored the sixth palace said the hidden dangers in the palace, and she couldn't see Gu Qingwan's expression clearly in the dark, and she didn't see her talk, so she smiled brightly, "Even if you didn't ask those literati to write at the beginning, it won't be long before the queen will regain power." Bengong knows that you are doing this to take revenge, I have calculated you, and now you are using the same means against Bengong, you and I are considered to be clear. ”

"Niangniang calculates more than two concubines." Gu Qingwan said with a smile.

"Your brother's arrest was done by my Guo family, but the emperor also knew about it, but you were kidnapped by the Turkic prince, and it was not the palace that told you, but the prince's handwriting."

"Gu Qingwan, let's join forces." Guo Guifei said solemnly.

Gu Qingwan didn't answer, she kept thinking about what Guo Guifei said, the emperor was in the know, and she only felt ridiculous.

Her father worked hard for the emperor at the border, and the emperor calculated the Gu family so much for the so-called checks and balances. I really don't know what the land and the people are in the eyes of these rulers? The emperor only thinks about playing with power, and does not think about the country and the people, so mediocre, it is no wonder that the Great Zhou is becoming more and more corrupt.

"Gu Qingwan?" Thinking that she didn't hear clearly, Guo Guifei called lightly again.

"Okay, what you just lack now is the real power of the harem." Shaking her sleeves, Gu Qingwan took another step, her elegant pace did not make a single sound in the dark, "Don't worry, I will help you." ”

Guo Guifei followed, and when she wanted to say thank you, she felt that she would blaspheme Gu Qingwan, so she could only choke everything in her throat and deposit it in the dark.

The two were relative but speechless, and when they didn't walk for a long time, they had already seen the side hall, the lights were bright, and the voices were transmitted, and the two stopped and looked.

After looking at it for a long time, Gu Qingwan smiled and asked the queen lightly: "Who are those two concubines?" ”

"It's Concubine Li and Concubine Yin, I heard that the ancestors are relatives, so they often accompany each other in the palace." In the past, the emperor loved the two of them, one skillful and the other coquettish, but now he also ended up guarding the palace alone.

Gu Qingwan smiled lightly, observed carefully for a while, and suddenly sighed: "In this palace, everyone is a character. ”

"This concubine Yin is straightforward and fast-talking, but she is not annoying, but it is not easy to survive in this harem; That Concubine Li is weak and gentle, and there are no big ups and downs in the palace. "Explained to Gu Qingwan one by one, in great detail. The queen turned her head, but found that Gu Qingwan was not listening at all, staring ahead.

"Who's that father-in-law?" The jade pointed a little, and Gu Qingwan pointed to a purple-robed eunuch who was running around in front of her, and turned her head to make a look of asking for advice.

Guo Guifei glanced at it, but she couldn't recognize it, it must be a little-known person in the palace, and she was about to shake her head, when the personal palace maid next to her spoke: "That's Deyu, Mrs. Chen." ”

"Oh?" Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, showing interest, and motioned to the palace maid to continue.

"Deyu seems to have entered the palace at the age of fourteen, on an errand in the Imperial Palace, has been in the palace for ten years, it is said that he was also born in a family of scholars, but the family is too poor, he is usually very provincial, and he sends the moon home. Give his younger siblings a living. The palace maid told everything she knew, although Deyu was a little eunuch, but he was good-looking and popular, and the palace maids were happy to help him.

Gu Qingwan seemed to be smiling, looked up at the dark sky, there were no stars, she was a little disappointed, and turned around and said, "Concubine Niangniang, please stay, that Deyu will lead the way for me in the next section." ”

Guo Guifei nodded lightly, although she didn't know why she suddenly took a fancy to the little eunuch, but she didn't ask any questions, and asked the palace maids around her to call, she stared at Gu Qingwan and said, "It's just an ordinary little eunuch, what's the use of you entrapping him?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingwan looked back at the queen and said leisurely: "I naturally have my own plans for doing this. ”

Hearing her words, her heart was redeemed, the thorn in her heart was gone, and the queen cried: "Gu Qingwan ......" Seeing the palace maid who was far away trotting with a purple-robed eunuch, she was busy covering her face with her sleeves to hide her gaffe.

The palace maid and Deyu approached, first saluted the queen, and then asked Gu Qingwan for peace, and sure enough, she was polite and polite.

From the side hall to the official road carriage parking not far or near, Deyu walked uprightly on the dark bluestone road to lead the way, a little puzzled in his heart, I don't know why this Mrs. Chen asked him to lead the way, he didn't dare to be rude, he waited carefully.

"How many years have you been in the palace?" The long voice stood out in the deep darkness, as if it could penetrate into the bottom of my heart.

He kept walking, and he kept walking at the same pace, and replied, "Ten years." ”

"Is the family doing well? It's time for my younger siblings to start a family, right? Gu Qingwan asked with a smile, this somewhat cool passage also added three points of warmth because of this sentence.

couldn't help but slow down his body, Deyu was obviously stunned, then lowered his head again, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Xie cares, it's all right." ”

With a sigh softly, Gu Qingwan's eyes looked forward to the circulation, as if there was sorrow in his heart, Deyu looked up and caught a glimpse, his heart moved slightly, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to ask the other party, what was unpleasant, this impulse was held in his heart, on the one hand, cold sweat seeped out, in the main hall, he had already seen this Mrs. Chen's beautiful demeanor with a demonic nature, and at this moment, he knew how touching it was. He is already pure, not a man, and there is a feeling that his emotions are affected by her.

The intuition of many years in the palace told him that this thing was strange, and he took a step back and bowed his head solemnly.

Looking at the other party with appreciation, Gu Qingwan secretly said, she really found the right person, just now I saw him running around in the side hall, methodical, flexible and mobile, which shows that this person is thoughtful and alert, and at this moment, he is still cautious and careful, and he is really a talent. With a chuckle, she said politely: "Ten years after entering the palace, he is still just a little eunuch, don't you feel wronged?" ”

Without waiting for him to shake his head, Gu Qingwan continued: "As long as you can gain power in the palace, you can give your family more support, isn't this your original intention when you entered the palace?" Gonggong Li has been appreciated by my husband, and he has been in charge in just a few years, don't you want to ascend to the sky in one step? ”

This voice originally had a kind of calming leisure, hearing it in his ears, he only felt that his heart was fluttering, Deyu panicked, and reminded himself not to incite it, the fierceness of the palace struggle is not something that ordinary people can withstand, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Gu Qingwan's body shaking, as if he was uncomfortable, and couldn't help but reach out to support the other party, gently holding Gu Qingwan's wrist, and holding it in his hand with a warm and smooth feeling, in a cool moment, something slipped from Gu Qingwan's hand, and there was one more thing in his hand, looking at it carefully through the dim palace lamp, It is a string of pearl bracelets, and a pair of fiery eyes refined in the palace can be seen at a glance that this is a treasure of great value.
