……

And just as Fang Ru and Zhang Yu'er and her two daughters were making love to catch up, another carriage slowly drove into the Zhao Mansion.

Everyone originally thought that this carriage was just carrying some Zhang Yuer's belongings, and they didn't pay too much attention to it, but when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the scene in the carriage made everyone's faces change greatly.

I saw four people shrunk in the carriage, all of whom were given to her by Fang Ru when Zhang Yuer first entered the Zhao Mansion, namely the maid Taohong, the old mother Li Qing, and the two stewards in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Ming and Zhao Zheng.

But at this time, except for the maid Pink, the other three were all tied up with five flowers, and their mouths were stuffed with sackcloth, their expressions were full of panic, and their bodies were even more scarred, as if they had been tortured a lot.

After seeing this scene, the smile on Fang Ru's expression suddenly stiffened, and his eyes gradually became cold, and he turned to Zhang Yu'er and asked, "Sister Yu'er, what do you mean by this?" When you first entered the Zhao Mansion, I saw that there was a shortage of people around you to serve, so I sent a few of them to your envoys, if they didn't serve properly, my sister could have driven them back, so why tie them up? Looks like he's been tortured? ”

On the other side, Zhang Yu'er was still smiling like a flower, and her attitude towards closeness and harmony had not changed in the slightest, but there seemed to be a flash of coldness in the depths of her eyes, and she said slowly: "These people are all servants and maids given to my sister by Sister Ruyi, as the so-called 'don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha', if it is just an ordinary thing, my sister will not punish them severely anyway, but my sister found out that these people were eating inside and out, colluding with outsiders to betray Lord Zhao, so she naturally wanted to use some special means......

Sister, you don't know, my sister was unwell in Nanzhili some time ago, and it was actually caused by being poisoned, and this matter is related to these people, they actually threatened with their sister's life, and wanted their sister to betray the master, but my sister has always been loyal to the master, how can I agree? So I first pretended to agree to their request, and then arrested all the people involved and interrogated them strictly, but I didn't expect that all the people involved were the servants and maids that my sister gave to my sister at the beginning, which really surprised my sister!

And after these people were taken down by my sister, after some severe punishment, they actually said that everything they did was in accordance with my sister's orders...... Naturally, my sister didn't believe it, and she was even more resentful that they slandered her sister's innocence out of thin air, so she brought them here and handed them over to you, sister, to deal with! ”

After hearing Zhang Yu'er's words, and seeing Zhang Yu'er's cold questioning hidden under the smile, and embarrassing himself in public, Fang Ru was secretly angry in her heart, and she also lost the mood of feigned intimacy, hypocrisy and grievance with Zhang Yu'er, but after reining in her smile, she instructed everyone in the Zhao Mansion: "You all leave here, I have something to talk about with Sister Yu'er." ”

Fang Ru's prestige in the Zhao Mansion was extremely high, it could be said that she was full of words, and with her order, all the Zhao Mansion people present did not dare to slack off, and they all left here as fast as possible, and before leaving, they also took Taohong, Li Qing and others on the carriage away.

After everyone avoided in the distance, Fang Ru no longer had any cover, stared at Zhang Yu'er's smile with a pair of apricot eyes, and said coldly: "What do you mean by tying these people in front of me, do you think that the master can embarrass me if he is not in the mansion?" …… Do you think you already have the qualifications? ”

Seeing Fang Ru tearing her face, Zhang Yu'er's smile was also slightly restrained, but her attitude remained calm, and said: "In the Zhao Mansion, Sister Ruyi's prestige is already deep-rooted, I'm afraid that even the genuine lady Cui Qianxue is not as effective as her sister's speech, and Yu'er has only stayed in less than ten days since she entered the Zhao Mansion before she was sent to Nanzhili by the lord to do things. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuer's voice suddenly became cold, and there was a hint of sharpness in her tone, and she said: "It's just that although my sister respects Sister Ruyi, some of Sister Ruyi's practices make my sister feel a little cold...... When my sister was poisoned and assassinated by someone and her life was in danger, it was a time of panic and isolation, but she still did her best, even if she knew that she would delay her body, she never dared to slack off, these things are enough to prove Yu'er's sincerity and loyalty to Lord Zhao...... And sister, after you received the news, you obviously had a means of healing, but the first thing that came to mind was not to cure your sister's body as soon as possible, but to take the opportunity to lay out and use your sister's life as a threat to test my sister's loyalty to Lord Zhao, which really made my sister so sad...... If Sister Ruyi encounters such unfair treatment, can she swallow this breath? ”

Fang Ru snorted lightly and said, "Don't say that you are like a white lotus, you relied on dishonorable means to force the master to include you in the mansion as a concubine, just to participate in the master's plan, and you have always acted by unscrupulous means, and it is even more difficult to gain the true trust of the master and me!" If I put you in my place, you would do the same! ”

Zhang Yu'er's smile was a little more sarcastic, and she said slowly: "Sister Ruyi, you are naturally shrewd and capable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a heroine among women, but after all, you still lack a trace of vision and bearing, and you really see Yu'er wrong!" If Yu'er and her sister were to change places, Yu'er would never take the opportunity to test the loyalty of others! Because loyalty cannot withstand the test of the most, especially when life is threatened, no matter how loyal a person is, he is afraid that he will choose betrayal, and once the idea of betrayal is born, it can never be taken back, even if he knows afterwards that this is just a test, he will be separated from morality, which can be described as a hundred harms and no benefits...... In fact, this time should be a great opportunity to buy people's hearts, but sister, you made the wrong choice...... If my sister is not bad, this layout test for my sister is just my sister's private decision, and he doesn't know about it, right? Otherwise, with his vision and bearing, he will definitely stop his sister! ”

Zhang Yuer's statement was quite aggressive and preachy, but Fang Ru was a little difficult to refute.

In fact, after learning about Zhang Yuer's poisoning, Zhao Junchen's attitude was just "listen to his words and watch his deeds", as long as Zhang Yuer did not take the initiative to betray after learning that he was poisoned, Zhao Junchen would take action to save Zhang Yuer's life, and this layout test loyalty was indeed Fang Ru's private decision, but the final result was that stealing chickens and rice was not successful, not only did he lose his morality, but also let Zhang Yuer take the initiative.

In a way, Zhang Yuer's statement is not wrong, Fang Ru is indeed shrewd and capable when doing things, but when she is in charge of the overall situation, she lacks a bit of vision and pattern.

Seeing Fang Ru's silence, Zhang Yu'er's smile became more and more charming, and she continued: "But I don't know, sister, after you learned that your sister passed this test, are you happy or disappointed in your heart? …… However, although my sister's approach made Yu'er a little sad, Yu'er also wanted to thank her sister for her success! After this incident, I believe that the master will no longer doubt Yu'er's loyalty, and he will let Yu'er participate in those secret plans with peace of mind...... In other words, because of this incident, Yu'er can finally get along with you on an equal footing with Sister Ruyi! ”

When she spoke, Zhang Yuer's attitude seemed to be calm, but when she recalled the original test, she still couldn't help but be a little scared in her heart.

At that time, Zhang Yuer didn't find that all this was just Fang Ru's layout and test, and thought that the mastermind behind everything was the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, and she did have the idea of betraying Zhao Junchen to save her life for a moment, but she was very aware of the character of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, and understood that she had betrayed Zhu Hejian once, even if she was forced to become the pawn of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian again, Zhu Hejian would not be able to tolerate himself sooner or later, so she chose to take a risk, first pretending to give in by pushing the boat down the river, Then he arrested all the relevant people and others, wanting to obtain a way to heal his body through this means, and in the end, although he got a way to heal his body, he found that all this was just Fang Ru's arrangement!

To this day, Zhang Yuer still recalls the scene of her choice from time to time, and even repeats it in her sleep, whenever this happens, Zhang Yuer can't help but be a little afraid - if she really betrayed Zhao Junchen with a thought, I am afraid that she has already stepped into the footsteps of Zhao Shancai!

It is precisely because of this fear and happiness that Zhang Yuer will be so aggressive when she sees Fang Ru!

On the other side, seeing that Zhang Yu'er's attitude was becoming more and more aggressive, a trace of coldness flashed in Fang Ru's eyes.

But in the next moment, Fang Ru regained her smile, and actually nodded and admitted: "Sister Yu'er is right, in this matter, I am just thinking about the master's future plans, it is indeed a misconsideration, and I am really wronged by my sister, it is all my sister's fault!" However, it is indeed a good thing that you have passed this test, Sister Yu'er, and there are many plans that you can finally let your sister participate in with peace of mind! Now that the lord is not in the capital, my sister is a little powerless in many things, but with my sister's help in the future, it will definitely be much smoother. ”

Seeing Fang Ru's change in attitude, Zhang Yuer couldn't help but be a little surprised, and faintly disappointed.

In the depths of her heart, Zhang Yuer of course hopes that she can completely replace Fang Ru, her aggressiveness today is largely deliberate, hoping to provoke Fang Ru and make Fang Ru make some irrational decisions, so that Zhang Yuer will be suppressed by Fang Ru in a short period of time, and even deliberately bullied, but when Zhao Junchen returns to Beijing, the situation will be completely reversed, and then Zhang Yuer can use the image of the victim to gain Zhao Junchen's sympathy and bias. And Fang Ru's various irrational practices will greatly disappoint Zhao Junchen, and Fang Ru's status in Zhao Junchen's heart will also be greatly shaken, maybe Zhao Junchen will no longer let Fang Ru have full authority to deal with certain things.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ru did not fall for the plan, but instead took retreat as advance, and took the initiative to admit his mistakes generously, which made Zhang Yuer's calculation come to naught!

Based on the relationship between Fang Ru and Zhao Junchen, as long as Fang Ru shows an attitude of knowing her mistakes and being able to change, this matter will not shake her status in Zhao Junchen, she is still the most trusted "Mrs. Ruyi" in Zhao Junchen's heart, and even if Zhang Yuer gains Zhao Junchen's trust, her status can only be ranked below Fang Ru, and she will still have to look at Fang Ru's eyes when doing things in the future.

Fang Ru's attitude is obvious - in this game, she took the initiative to give up, but she still has the advantage, and the days ahead are still very long.

After thinking about this, Zhang Yuer also had a little more admiration for Fang Ru's mind in her heart.

At the same time, Zhang Yuer quickly restrained her aggressive posture, became humble again, and said with a smile: "Sister Ruyi, even if she makes an occasional mistake, but everything is for the master, where does my sister dare to complain?" My sister's words are really serious! ”

Fang Ru also smiled: "Sister Yu'er, it's good that you don't complain about your sister!" ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two daughters returned to the original harmony of being like sisters.

In the distance, everyone in the Zhao Mansion was secretly relieved after seeing the change in the atmosphere between the two, they were afraid that they would be implicated after Fang Ru was angry.

However, if Zhao Junchen is still in the capital now, he will inevitably feel a headache when he sees the situation between the two women.

In a way, so the "blessing of Qi people" may not be really a blessing, and the difficulty of handling the relationship between wives and concubines in his house is not inferior to that of the left and right sources in the temple.

*

said that after the atmosphere between the two women returned to the same state, they walked hand in hand towards the depths of the Zhao Mansion.

Between the walks, Fang Ru asked, "However, Sister Yu'er, aren't you surprised?" Why is it that after you are poisoned, I can find a cure for the poison immediately? When I first saw my sister asking for sin, I thought that my sister would mistake the person who poisoned her for my sister......"

Zhang Yuer said with a smile: "My sister never thought that the mastermind behind her poisoning would be Sister Ruyi!" In my sister's opinion, sister, you may make private decisions on some trivial things, such as taking the opportunity to test your sister's loyalty after learning that your sister was poisoned, but in the general direction, sister, you will never disobey the master! Unless the master decides to poison and assassinate his sister, you will never do such a thing, sister, but with the vision and mind of the master, how could you do such a thing? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu'er's smile narrowed slightly, and her eyes couldn't help flashing with coldness, and asked: "However, after the master and sister learned that their sister was unwell, they immediately found out about my sister's poisoning, and immediately found an antidote...... I'm afraid that the lord and his sister also know very well who poisoned and assassinated his sister, right? But I don't know who it is? Is it really the Seven Princes? ”

was poisoned and assassinated this time, which can be said to have made Zhang Yuer suffer a lot, and also made her hate the people behind the scenes, and with her character, she naturally wanted to fight back and retaliate.

Fang Ru nodded lightly and said, "It's the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian!" Sister, you just said that you were poisoned in Nanzhili, but in fact this is not the case! According to the time of your attack, you should have been poisoned when you were still in Zhao Mansion, this poison is diamond powder, it is not toxic in itself, it is difficult for people to detect, and the onset is also very slow, but if you don't know the antidote, there is no one to cure! Because these diamond powders cannot be digested, they will stick to the human body and continue to destroy the stomach and intestines, and eventually cause a large amount of blood loss in the stomach and intestines, and there is no cure at that step...... Zhao Shancai died because of this! ”

Zhang Yu'er said with silver teeth: "Sure enough, it's the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian!" I guessed it was him! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuer asked curiously: "However, sister, why are you so clear about this matter?" ”

Fang Ru showed a frank look, and said with a smile: "Sister, you have proven your loyalty, so I won't hide some things from you!" Because, those diamond powders were originally secretly given to Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, by the master, including its harmful effects, which were also taught to Zhu Hejian by the master...... After all, at this stage, the lord and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian have many common enemies, and with the ruthless methods of the seventh prince, they will inevitably be unable to help but use such a poison after getting it, which can not only help the lord get rid of political enemies, but also take the opportunity to harvest the evidence of the seventh prince, and don't have to dirty his hands! ”

Hearing Fang Ru's explanation, Zhang Yuer's delicate body trembled slightly.

Not because of fear, but because of excitement!

Why did Zhang Yuer try her best to enter the Zhao Mansion? It's because she wants to participate in Zhao Junchen's various plans! Because of her own heart, she is full of interest and yearning for the countless conspiracies and tricks hidden in the depths of Zhao Junchen's heart!

Now, she finally knows another piece of Zhao Junchen's plan, this plan is probably only the tip of the iceberg among Zhao Junchen's plans, but it is already so secretive, profound, and ingenious, so what will be the whole picture of Zhao Junchen's plans?

As soon as she thought that she would devote herself to it in the future, Zhang Yuer's heart was full of excitement!

Turning over the wind and clouds, playing with the general trend of the world and applauding, this will make Zhang Yuer full of a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, and it is also what Zhang Yuer really yearns for!

Zhang Yuer's performance was very slight, but it still fell into Fang Ru's eyes.

After Fang Ru saw this scene, she felt more and more that Zhang Yu'er was really uncontrollable, but on the surface, she didn't move, and said: "So, the Seventh Prince thinks he is clever, but he doesn't know that he is just a chess piece in the master's hand!" The person he arranged to poison in the Zhao Mansion has also been found now, but he will not be touched for the time being due to various considerations...... But Sister Yu'er rest assured, this time the matter will never be settled like this, sooner or later, he will make him pay! ”

Zhang Yu'er nodded lightly and said, "Sister Ruyi, don't worry, Yu'er still has this bit of patience." ”

While speaking, Zhang Yu'er frowned slightly and asked, "However, now that my body has healed, once this matter is known to the Seventh Prince, I am afraid that it will make him vigilant, but I want to think of something?" ”

Fang Ru said: "Don't worry, this matter has been arranged before he left Beijing, sister, the news of your recovery has been secretly blocked by me, and the eyeliner of the seven princes in the palace has also been secretly controlled...... According to the news received by the Seventh Prince, sister, not only has you not recovered from your illness now, but it has become more serious, and the few people who greeted you today are all cronies in the house...... It's just that sister, I'm afraid you're going to fake your death again after a while, and you'll have to stay incognito for a while, but it's easier to play your role by hiding in the dark. ”

Zhang Yu'er didn't mean to resist, nodded and said, "In order to continue to paralyze the Seventh Prince, this can only be the case." ”

While speaking, the two women had already come to a short distance from the people of the Zhao Mansion.

After a Zhao Mansion steward saw Fang Ru and Zhang Yu'er approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Mrs. Ruyi, Miss Yu'er, after the eldest lady learned the news of Miss Yu'er's return to the house, she passed down the order to let Miss Yu'er go to see her as soon as possible." ”

The so-called "eldest lady" naturally refers to Zhao Junchen's official wife Cui Qianxue.

Although Fang Ru and Zhang Yuer are more scheming and can participate in Zhao Junchen's plans, they are only concubines after all, and their status is far inferior to Cui Qianxue.

On the other side, after Fang Ru nodded lightly, he temporarily thought of something, and told Zhang Yu'er: "You have taken a large amount of diamond powder this time, although these diamond powders are expelled from the body by swallowing a large amount of soybean oil, but the stomach and intestines are damaged after all, I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will be left, but there is a miracle doctor named Zhang Decheng in the house, and his medical skills are no less than that of the imperial doctor in the palace, you had better hurry up and let him diagnose and treat, because he is about to go to Shaanxi and Gansu to see the master." ”

Zhang Yu'er was slightly stunned and asked, "I also know the reputation of Doctor Zhang, but why did he go to Shaanxi and Gansu to see the master?" …… Could it be that there is something wrong with the master's body? ”

Fang Ru's expression was slightly gloomy, and he nodded: "The master sent a secret letter yesterday, instructing me to send Doctor Zhang to Shaanxi and Gansu to see him as soon as possible...... I'm afraid it's true that I'm a little unwell, and this is what I want to tell you, you just have to know this matter, you must not let Cui Qianxue know about it, Zhao Mansion can't stand the chaos now. ”

Zhang Yu'er also looked solemn and said, "Understood." ”

While speaking, Fang Ru and Zhang Yuer had already crossed the Zhao Mansion and were about to go to the main hall to see Cui Qianxue.

While walking, Fang Ru suddenly paused, turned to look at Li Qing, Zhao Zheng and others who were still tied up by the five flowers, and ordered: "Untie them, because of some misunderstandings, I have wronged you this time, everyone went to the account room to receive thirty taels of silver...... However, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, he still stays by Yu'er's sister to serve afterwards. ”

Zhang Yuer tied Li Qing, Zhao Zheng and others in front of Fang Ru this time, just to embarrass Fang Ru in public, and Fang Ru sent them back to Zhang Yuer's side again, which can be regarded as announcing that she still occupies the initiative.

On the other side, Zhang Yu'er didn't seem to notice Fang Ru's attitude at all, and just smiled at Li Qing and the others: "This time I did misunderstand you, don't worry, this matter has passed, and when I meet Madame, I will definitely compensate you!" ”

After speaking, Fang Ru and Zhang Yu'er walked side by side towards the main hall of the Zhao Mansion as if nothing had happened, leaving only a group of Zhao Mansion subordinates looking at each other.
