Mei Niang saw that Suqin was also a little sad by herself, so she couldn't help but smile and said:

"That's it...... I have also been troubled to draw you in. ”

Su Qin said:

"Where did my sister bring Suqin in? Su Qin was originally in this game, but over the years, her sister has been half-hearted, trying to keep Su Qin out of the game, so as not to involve too much.

In fact, speaking of which, the Suqin of the old days and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today are not all the same?

My sister tried her best to help and try to stay out of the way......

However, it is a pity that Suqin is indeed lucky, and Benzhi is not in such a battle in the palace.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......

He is different from Suqin, he was born into the emperor's family, and he was pushed into such a position by mistake, and it is difficult to retreat. ”

Mei Niang was silent, and said lightly for a while:

"Yes...... Before, I always thought that I loved this child a lot, and I would be for him for a long time. But now it seems that from the beginning, he has been used as a pawn for such a long time. Just ......"

Mei Niang raised her head, looked into the distance with pain and guilt, and said lightly for a long time:

"But he doesn't care about that, right? It's just my own guilt, right? ”

Su Qin looked at Mei Niang and said softly:

"Born in the emperor's family, naturally there are more advantages than other children, but there is one thing they can't envy other children, and that is themselves.

The emperor's family, the power of the world.

In such a high position of power in the world, no one can say that he is not a chess piece. It's your sister, aren't you often willing to play chess?

Even today's events...... Isn't it also taking the initiative to bear the charge on behalf of the master and take the initiative to play chess?

Come to think of it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also understands these truths, and he will no longer resent his sister.

Just ......"

Mei Niang understood, and said lightly:

"It's just that Zhong'er is soft, and this thing is really not like what he did, so you're worried that he actually lost by himself, right?"

Su Qin nodded silently.

Mei Niang was also speechless, and said for a while:

"Suqin...... Sometimes, I really don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong. ”

Suqin opened her mouth and wanted to answer, but she couldn't.

……

At the end of May of the fifth year of Tang Yonghui.

Lin Parade Palace.

After receiving the decree in the palace of ten thousand years, the cleaning of the Taoist palace has been completed, and Gaozong can move back to the palace.

In addition, there is an internal report that His Royal Highness the Prince of Daoqian has been verified to be close to the servant Yong'an, and it has been proved that the intention of this servant is wrong.

The previous time, he was also secretly plotting, and he suddenly attacked, which caught the prince off guard and slashed him with a sword.

As a result, the prince's punishment case, which has been disturbed for a long time, can be regarded as successfully quelled with the tacit cooperation of the eldest grandson Wuji and Mei Niang, opponents who are always guarding against each other.

……

Tang Yonghui was the first day of June in the fifth year.

It's night.

Lin parade in the palace.

In the inner sanctum.

Mei Niang was holding her lower abdomen, which was already gradually bulging, watching the people around her go in and out, and she was busy preparing to return to the Wannian Palace tomorrow.

On the other side, only Su Qin was accompanied, sitting, drinking some tea, eating some refreshments, and the sisters said something idle.

After a while, I suddenly saw a young waiter in Tsing Yi rushing in and saluting before saying:

"See Zhaoyi Niangniang. The little one came at the beheaval of His Majesty. ”

Mei Niang swept him with her eyes, but said with a smile:

"Aren't you the one who merged the state? A few days ago, I just sealed you to be a scrivener and serve around the palace, why are you going there now? ”

The waiter bowed his head and said:

"Originally, this was true, but in recent days, His Majesty's government affairs have been cumbersome, and there is really a shortage of manpower, so I have to transfer all the scrivener orders and ink orders in the inside."

When Mei Niang heard this, she shook her head angrily and said to Suqin:

"Look, just say it! and there shall not be a man in this house who can read. ”

Su Qin said with a smile:

"It's not the Lord's fault. The lord is diligent in government, and all the documents are careful, and there must be one or two sick people in that class of twenty-four pairs of children, so I have no choice but to call my sister here! ”

Mei Niang shook her head with a silent laugh, and sighed after a while:

"It's also pitiful, since you have gone, there must be someone who has retired because of illness or really difficult to achieve, you go and spread the word to De'an, so that he can take care of it. Whoever can give more silver and gold, let him give more silver. In a few days, looking for an opportunity, this palace will ask you back again. These days are a little harder. ”

Who knew that the little waiter could hear this, but he smiled bitterly and said:

"Thank you for your grace, but I'm afraid that the little one won't come back this time."

Mei Niang was stunned when she heard this, but said with a smile:

"What? Do you like it there? It's rare...... There is no one who has gone out of our temple since he didn't turn around and cry and shout for Ryan Minghe, he must come back......

It's okay, if you like it, you can stay. ”

But the little waiter knelt down with a crossed hand, and said with a sad face:

"Niangniang, the little one really wants to come back...... But this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back......"

Mei Niang heard something strange, glanced at Su Qin with the same eyes, and said lightly:

"What, but something went wrong in the front hall and degraded people?"

"Niangniang Shengming, naturally you will know when you hear it. A few days ago, there was a waiter who was so bold that he accepted money from officials in the DPRK and China, and took the initiative to stop a letter that was not very important and read it, and was noticed by His Majesty.

Your Majesty naturally got into a big rage, and someone pulled the little attendant down and killed him on the spot.

This is not the end, Long Yan was furious, and Yu Wei was not stopped, but he actually re-examined and inspected the entire train of the waiter with the prince and the prince, and after proving that several people had private news transmission, they were all killed.

So there are a lot of people missing in this waiter train, and now the prince is just for this waiter There are not enough people, and he is having a headache. Your Majesty looks at the excerpts, Niangniang also knows, it is extremely fast, and it is quick, and the criticism (in the early Tang Dynasty Emperor's criticism, a large part of them are local officials, and a large part of them are not very important daily reports, so they will ask the little waiter to make a simple annotation and then seal and seal it, in this process, the emperor will only listen to the content of the reading, and then make oral instructions, which is called criticism) is also fast, we are not enough people, and now we have gone to a better place, but is it just that people are turned over? ”

Mei Niang heard this, but she was surprised, and turned her head to look at Su Qin for a while before she said softly:

"That's weird......

His temperament is not as easy as such a ruthless ......"

Mei Niang turned her head to look at Ryan, Ryan understood, so she gave the little waiter some things according to the benefits, and then took him aside for questioning.

And Mei Niang only drinks tea with Suqin here.

After a while, he saw Ryan running and said softly:

"Niangniang, I asked, and I left."

Mei Niang nodded and said softly:

"What's going on?"

"Back to Niangniang, this child is also sincere, what do you say. It seems that it is still the thing that received some money from officials in the DPRK and China to spy on the news.

The letter was actually presented by Master Di.

Although there is no secret seal, in the end, it is also sent by a special horse, and according to the system, foreign ministers must not read it without permission, let alone bribe the internal servant and find out the news. ”

Mei Niang's eyes lit up, but she said lightly:

"Do you know who is the bribe?"

"Wang Xin of the Imperial Historical Tower."

"Him?"

Mei Niang's eyes are even more cold:

"Isn't he the closest confidant of the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan today? How did you think of looking at Huaiying's sparseness? ”

"This, the waiter didn't know the inside story, but said that the waiter who was killed by the rod had told him, and the reason why Wang Xin said that he wanted to see this sparseness was that there were some things in it, but it was related to his Taiyuan Wang family, and then he agreed.

Speaking of which, the sinister servant is also a slave of the Taiyuan Wang family, but his parents can't afford to raise him, so he entered the palace, so he naturally has to be sent by the Wang family. ”

Mei Niang was silent for a while, and suddenly said:

"You go over there now, take a look at De'an's there, and ask what Huaiying wrote in that letter."

"Yes!"

Watching Ryan walk out, Suqin whispered to Mei Niang:

"Sister seems to be suspicious? Could it be that in the sparseness, it is not as Wang Xin said, the content related to his Taiyuan Wang family? ”

"A person who can be an official under Jiro, no matter how confused and ignorant he is, there are some things to say and some things not to say, and he should also understand."

Mei Niang said slowly:

"If that sparseness is really related to his Taiyuan Wang Clan, with the power of his Wang Clan, how can he watch it come to this point?

If this omission is really related to the Taiyuan Wang family, why did Zhilang kill the little attendant, but did not punish the Wang family and even bribe Wang Xin himself?

What's more, it was Huaiying's sloppiness, how could he be sloppy and just make such an important bend a special horse?

In terms of theoretical situation, it should be a secret fold, or it should be handed over to the secret guard to send to the Beijing Saint. ”

Su Qin nodded, and then also looked at Mei Niang and said:

"What does my sister mean......

What is written in this compromise, but I am afraid that there is something else?

Wang Xin is just a middleman? ”

Mei Niang was silent, and said leisurely after a long time:

"Huaiying's biggest feature is that he hits the nail on the head, and often detects some clues in the ordinary.

This kind of thinking is beyond the reach of others.

This time he was so cautious, he always taught me ......"

After hesitating, Mei Niang said lightly:

He seemed to be trying to test how this Wang family would react to his negligence.

And Jiro seems to have guessed his mind a long time ago, so he is so decisive......

It seems that some of them are acting in a play with Huaiying Junchen. ”

Su Qin immediately raised her eyebrows:

"Shaking the tiger across the mountain?"

Mei Niang thought about it, shook her head and said:

"But it's better to say that it's a scare to the snake."

Su Qin thought about it for a while, and then said:

"That'...... Can this frightened snake appear? ”

Mei Niang nodded slowly, as if she had realized:

"I'm afraid it would have appeared a long time ago, otherwise how could Jiro have disposed of all the equipment with such hands?"

Su Qin nodded and said:

"That'......

What does my sister think the Lord meant by this temptation? ”

Mei Niang hung her head for a long time before she said lightly:

"The most important thing in Yujiro's heart right now, I don't need to say it, you know it. And if you want to move the middle palace, you naturally have to move the front court first. In the previous dynasty, the Taiyuan Wang family had a deep foundation, and naturally it could not be eliminated one by one. In fact, it seems that the Taiyuan Wang family has its own thoughts, and it may not be where to go. So Jiro this time, but he also wanted to take advantage of this matter to see who was the powerful helper that the queen could really rely on in the entire Taiyuan Wang family, or in the other doors. ”

Su Qin suddenly said lightly:

"Find out the roots, and then get rid of them?"

"This ...... I can only guess at the moment, and if I want to know the truth, I'm afraid I'll have to ......."

Mei Niang stopped halfway through speaking, looked out the door and smiled.

Su Qin was stunned, and also turned her head to look, and then got up with a smile, stood side by side with her to get ready, and whispered:

"I still have to ask the Lord himself, don't you?"

That's right, the one who was walking towards them with a smile outside the hall was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi himself.
