Shendu Taichu Palace.

Outside the palace, a group of prime ministers asked to see them, but they were not allowed to do so. Because as early as a few days ago, the news of Hebei's defeat and the whereabouts of the prince was unknown reached the palace, and the empress vomited blood and fainted, and the situation is still unknown.

Hebei was defeated and the prince disappeared, shocking the world. First the Lingnan tribe rebelled, and then rumors spread, in short, the people of the world panicked. Fortunately, most of the prime ministers are scholars of science, and before the prince has no exact news, they are still in control of the imperial court, and it is difficult to make a big mess for a while, and the government is also running smoothly, and the decree is conveyed in a timely manner. In addition, the defense of the Shendu City was properly dispatched by Shi Dongmao, the governor of Tiance Prefecture, and most of the generals of Yulinwei, Jinwuwei, and Qianniuwei were from the Wu clan, and no one dared to risk rebellion, so Yiqiē seemed to be very stable at least on the surface.

"Shangguan is waiting to be made!" An official exclaimed.

In the past six months, there are really not many people who can see Shangguan Wan'er's figure, and since a few months ago, Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows and plum blossoms became popular in the palace, many girls in Luoyang have also dressed up, and a "eyebrows wind" has swept the entire Shendu. But since then, every time I see Shangguan Wan'er, she is dressed in wide clothes and sleeves, and no longer wears Hu clothes. Some officials who have a crush on Shangguan Wan'er believe that this is the reason why Shangguan Wan'er has become fat, and her wide clothes and sleeves can hide her fat and bloated. In short, there are no surprises, but I just didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to be pregnant.

Shangguan Wan'er bowed slightly, looked at the prime ministers, and said, "Prime ministers, you can go to the political hall to discuss matters!" ”

Yao Yuanchong and the others immediately understood that there must be something important. Then he nodded in agreement. So, a group of officials came to Fengge with Shangguan Wan'er, and the hundred officials stopped. The prime minister and Shangguan Wan'er entered the political hall.

After everyone sat down, Shangguan Wan'er also sat in the last seat, glanced around, and after confirming that the prime ministers were all loyal and good, she lightly opened her lips and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince's life and death are unknown, and His Majesty will faint and not wake up." Now that Erzhang is in control of the palace with the emperor's order, even I can't visit in the forbidden, I'm afraid that Erzhang has already laid out. All the prime ministers are good people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted the government to you before leaving, and the prime ministers, before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no exact news. You should plan well. Don't do anything rebellious! ”

Shangguan Wan'er's tone increased sharply, intending to warn those speculative prime ministers that it was best to settle down when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life and death were unknown.

Right Prime Minister Dou Lu Qinwang's life glory is tied to the prince, and the honor and disgrace of the family are also placed on the prince, he is the most reluctant to have an accident with the prince, so when he heard Shangguan Wan'er's words. He immediately said: "My Doulu clan is loyal to the Great Zhou and the crown prince. If someone plots against him, I, the Doulu clan, will be the first to refuse! ”

Zuo Xiang Lou Shide paused and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jiren has his own blessing, the old man believes that the top priority is to stabilize the imperial court, although the rebellion of the Lingnan Tanuki people is a disease of mustard, but if it is not dealt with in time, the civil impact caused by it cannot be underestimated." His Royal Highness once said that a spark can also become a prairie fire. We are in charge of the world, and we have to guard against it. ”

Yao Yuanchong stood up and arched his hand and said: "In the opinion of the following officials, Your Highness will definitely be fine, what we have to do is to immediately eradicate the two sheets and let the Holy Lord decide!" Let the world understand that His Highness is safe and sound! ”

Suddenly, there was a silence in the political hall, and no one dared to speak.

Tang Xiujing coughed, he didn't understand why Yao Yuanchong was so anxious, so he said slowly: "Erzhang's trouble has been going on for a long time, if it weren't for the protection of the Holy Lord, would His Highness still be able to tolerate it today?" In the opinion of the following officials, eradicate the two sheets, and do not act rashly. But we have to guard against the Li family, the Li family is the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it seems that there is no chance, but in fact, if you take the opportunity to rise at this time and usurp the artifact, at that time, how many of you here can live? How can we be worthy of His Highness's kindness and teacher-student friendship? ”

Since the empress fainted, Yang Zaisi, Su Wei, Zong Chuke and other prime ministers claimed to be sick at home and did not go out. Although Erzhang was deeply favored by the empress and installed various ministries, because of Wu Zheng's strong resistance, only Li Zhenxiu entered the political hall. But Li Zhenxiu held the wine jar in his arms every day, bought drunk during the day, and was humiliated by Mrs. Zang at night, so he was not in good spirits, and he didn't go to the court, let alone go to the political hall to discuss matters. Therefore, all the prime ministers here have no taboos, so you and I will discuss it one by one.

When night fell, Shangguan Wan'er's carriage slowly drove into Jishanfang, and went all the way to Tiance Mansion. There were already people waiting outside the house, so they drove directly into the door of the house, and then entered the side door and came to the inner courtyard, which is where Wu Qi's wives and concubines live.

Soon, Shangguan Wan'er stepped into the peony garden. A plump and beautiful woman was standing outside the house, looking at the courtyard gate, with a touch of sadness in her eyes, she saw Shangguan Wan'er, the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, and when Shangguan Wan'er approached, she said: "Yesterday, I sent someone to your house to deliver a letter, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”

Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to be careless, so she bowed in and said, "Wan'er has seen the princess." ”

"Okay, okay, you and I have been sisters for many years, why are you going to be separated now!" Princess Taiping took Shangguan Wan'er's hand and stepped into the dormitory.

The candle flame in the dormitory is reflected, and the faint fragrance drills into Shangguan Wan'er's nose, which is the fragrance of peony flowers, although the peony flowers have withered at this time, but the peony flower powder developed has also been stored, the development of peony flower powder is not simple, it takes dozens of processes, if you are not good at this way, you can't make such a fragrance powder, and it can be seen that Princess Taiping is deeply favored by Wu Zheng. That bad man, hey, where the hell are you?

The two sat down, and the maid served tea. Princess Taiping asked, "It's inconvenient for me to enter the palace, but the saint is better?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er paused and said, "Erzhang said that the saint can already drink water, and he can drink some gruel every day. ”

Princess Taiping paused, as if she understood, and asked, "Is there any news of the crown prince in the court?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, for many years, since Princess Taiping became Wu Chu's wife, she has never been alone with Princess Taiping, although she has always been favored by Wu Chu, but after all, the two of them are like dewy mandarin ducks, and she is quite jealous in her heart; There is a huge difference in status between the two, what else does she have to say to Princess Taiping? But tonight, because the man was defeated and disappeared, they sat together, but after a few words, they were speechless.

The silence was short, interrupted by a woman's voice outside the house.

"Princess, can the concubines come in?"

Princess Taiping stood up and said with a smile: "Senior sister, come in, your own family, don't be angry!" ”

Yuwen Su'e wore a light green skirt, stepped into the dormitory, and after giving a gift, she looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Sister Wan'er's body is much plump!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face remained unchanged, she was pregnant, and not many people knew about it, so there was no need to explain, she also knew that Yuwen Su'e had a very high status in the mansion. What's more, Yuwen Su'e's beauty is not inferior to any woman, and even that temperament is not possessed by many women, she is like a beautiful flower, revealing a fairy spirit, which makes Shangguan Wan'er marvel in her heart, no wonder His Royal Highness wants to marry her, if he is a man, he will definitely do so.

Immediately, she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you sister for your compliment, my sister must be here to ask where Her Royal Highness is going?" ”

Yuwen Su'e's face changed slightly, and she suddenly calmed her mind and said: "Yes, Ruyu went to Hebei, there is no news so far, my sister is uneasy, I wanted to ask in your house, but it can be seen that you are here, so I came to ask." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face sank, and she said: "There is no news from His Royal Highness in the imperial court, and the political affairs hall is ...... today."

Shangguan Wan'er revealed some unimportant contents of the deliberations in the political hall to Princess Taiping and Yuwen Su'e, especially now that the two are in control of the ban, and the matter of installing cronies in various ministries is told to the two.

Shangguan Wan'er said that the reason for this matter is nothing more than that Princess Taiping is surnamed Li, at this juncture, she does not dare to guarantee whether Princess Taiping is loyal to Wu Zhuang, but it is better to use the mouth of Princess Taiping to pass it on to the two princes of the Li family, so that the Li family and Erzhang can fight, and when the man returns from his own family, there will be a buffer time.

From beginning to end, she believed that her man would be fine. (To be continued......)
