And after Bai Muyan returned to the palace in a state of anxiety, he was not summoned by the emperor, nor did he have any harsh reprimand, gradually, Bai Muyan also let go of the heart that he had been carrying, and Bai Muyan also regarded Si Yuanqiong as his only reliance after this incident, and listened to Si Yuanqiong's words more and more, stirring up the entire harem.

The emperor turned a blind eye, even if a concubine sued the emperor, the emperor was painlessly appeased a few words, and Lin Yushi wrote many times, asking the emperor to severely punish Bai Muyan, but in the end, it was not over.

When the ministers above the court saw this, they only held their dissatisfaction in their hearts, because they knew that even if they expressed their dissatisfaction, the emperor would not ignore them.

Si Huazhen took in the sluggishness and looseness of the previous dynasty and the chickens and dogs of the harem, on the surface, he seemed to be fine, and he didn't see any urgency or melancholy, but behind the scenes, he let Liufeng step up the screening of women who were suitable for the queen's position.

Xu is Si Yuanqiong received some news, after the day of the court meeting dispersed, Si Yuanqiong quickly caught up with Si Huazhen, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Si Huazhen: "King Jingping has been doing well lately?" Now that the situation is gradually becoming clear, why should King Jingping bother so much? In the end, if the bamboo basket is empty, it will not be good. ”

Si Huazhen glanced at Si Yuanqiong lightly, his thick eyebrows were as sharp as a sword, "King Huai'an's words are biased, the matter has not yet been decided, and there is no need to make up your mind so early, if King Huai'an is really sure that it can be done, it will not be too late to wait until it is completed, and then come and say this to this king." ”

Si Huazhen and Si Yuanqiong did not say what they were referring to in these words, but they knew the same thing to each other.

"King Jingping is really in danger, and this king admires it." Si Yuanqiong hooked the corners of her mouth with a smile, and her smile was mixed with a bit of sarcasm, "It's just that some people are destined to be muddy and can't support the wall, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't turn the tide, this king is here, so he will take the first step." ”

After Si Yuanqiong finished speaking, he walked away, while Si Huazhen stood in place, his hands behind his back, his dark eyes were half-narrowed, and his handsome face was shrouded in deep thought.

After returning to the Jingping Palace, Liufeng presented the three candidates who had finally been decided to Si Huazhen, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, this is the suitable person selected by his subordinates after many understandings and investigations. ”

Si Huazhen nodded, silently picked up the roster in his hand, suddenly frowned into a shallow "Chuan" character, pointed to the name of one of them and asked in a deep voice: "The daughter of Master Du?" How could an old fox like him send a good daughter to the palace to be a widow? ”

Moreover, the emperor is stupid and incompetent, and there is a Bai Muyan who is doing evil in the harem, but any minister who has some brains and vision above the court will not think of sending his pampered daughter into the fire pit, after all, the former queen is a lesson from the past, and no one wants to end up with a bad face and a bad name after death.

"The prince doesn't know that this Du Taishi's daughter is not his concubine Du Ruoshuang, but the titular righteous daughter he recognizes, Du Zhi." Liufeng told the truth of the matter, "This Du Zhi is actually the daughter born to Du Taishi and the outer room, but because Du Taishi's wife's maternal family is strong, Du Taishi is unwilling to offend his wife's maternal family for a small outer room, so he wants to recognize Du Zhi as a righteous daughter." ”

Si Huazhen understood, looking at Du Taishi's practice of hiding people's ears, it is not difficult to know that he is reluctant to be so powerful, and he does not want to send his concubine to the palace, so this so-called righteous daughter is his guiding stone, if Du Zhi dies, it is just a small righteous daughter, but there will not be much loss, and if Du Zhi once gains power, he really gets the wealth of the sky, and the Du family will also follow.

"Such a good abacus, only Taishi Du can think of it, but it's a pity that the Du girl." Although Si Huazhen said that it was a pity, his tone was undulating, without even a trace of superfluous feelings, "Then Du Zhi knows her plans as a good father-in-law?" ”

"Of course you know." When Liu Feng said this, he paused, and then smiled slightly: "Moreover, this Du Zhi is also a ruthless character with ideas, before his subordinates went to explore Du Taishi's mouth, Du Zhi first found his subordinates and offered to cooperate with us." ”

"Oh?" When Si Huazhen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was a little more interested, and motioned for Liufeng to continue.

Liu Feng did not doubt him, cleared his throat, and continued as if stating: "Du Zhi hates and poisons Du Taishi, she wants to enter the palace openly, hold the power of the middle palace in her hands, and then trample those who once looked down on her one by one, this is what Du Zhi said. ”

Si Huazhen's fingertips tapped rhythmically on his knees, and in the silence of the room, Si Huazhen sorted out the thoughts in his head, and thought and judged many times.

For now, this Du Zhi is indeed the most suitable person, with Du Taishi as the background, the family background is guaranteed, and the appearance is secondary, as a queen, there is no need for a gorgeous and exquisite appearance, as long as the facial features are correct, but after this Du Zhi enters the palace, his heart will inevitably change, if they want Du Zhi to be obedient and not to do anything out of the ordinary, it is necessary to grasp Du Zhi's life and weakness.

Si Huazhen seemed to have thought of something, and asked slowly: "Is this Du Zhi's mother still alive, or does she have any other brothers or sisters?" ”

Liufeng shook his head, sighed and said: "This is another somewhat difficult place, although she looks suitable, but she is alone, she has no handle, such a person, I am afraid it is difficult to control." ”

The air pressure around Si Huazhen's body decreased a little bit with Liufeng's words, and after a long period of contemplation, Si Huazhen stood up, put the roster and the details recorded in the wide sleeve, and then walked out.

Si Huazhen went straight to Baifu, Bai Weiying saw Si Huazhen appear so familiarly, and he was already accustomed to it, Huaying turned around and retreated after pouring tea for the two, standing at the gate of the courtyard to let the two of them out, in case anyone with a heart approached or eavesdropped.

"Ah Zhen, you came, but what we discussed last time has an eyebrow?" Bai Weiying didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly.
