The palace, the most splendid place in the world, is also the place where the power is most concentrated in the world, and it is also the darkest place, the intrigue is fierce, all kinds of conspiracies are rampant, people who are not in the middle of it are unimaginable, gossip is everywhere, traps are overlapping, a little carelessness is the end of broken bones, it can be said that the palace is a place that eats people and does not spit out bones - no matter how to boast about the majesty of the palace in the history books of later generations, but who knows how many unjust souls die under various conspiracies every year, Not to mention those who were killed by the rod for various purposes, that is, the palace maids and eunuchs who reported "violent illness and died", I don't know how many of them died in the conspiracy, not only when the faint monarchs were in power, but also when Li Shimin, who was known as the "Emperor of the Ages", was also the same when he was in power, and how could the word "miserable" be explained, of course, it was not without exceptions, the Min'an Palace where Concubine Yan De lived was one of the calmest harbors in the palace.

Concubine Yan De has always been a quiet person, low-key and indisputable, never meddled in political affairs outside the palace, even when her own son Li Zhen was besieged by the ministers because of the impeachment of Anxi, she did not see him come forward to intercede with the emperor, and when the eldest grandson Li Chunjin was crowned the king of Huainan, he never saw him show off, everything was safe, like a breeze blowing willows, it seemed that any news in the world could not affect her peaceful state of mind, however, Concubine Yan De was not a ruthless person, on the contrary, Concubine Yan De is a person who attaches great importance to family affection, and the reason why she behaves in honor and disgrace is actually very simple - Concubine Yan De is wise, far-reaching, and knows what she can do and what she can't participate in.

Political affairs can not come forward to fight, and the eldest grandson's king can not show off, but it is vague to dot the full moon ceremony of the eldest grandson - Concubine Yan is skillful, she has a good female red, since she learned that the eldest grandson came to the world, she was immediately busy, and she did not want to pretend to be in the hands of others, Concubine Yan De personally operated, unless it was the emperor's luck, in addition to waiting for her, she sat in the Min'an Palace every day and was busy with needles and threads, from the baby's shoes and hats, small clothes to bibs and other things, and even diapers were all cleaned up with one hand, and it was also thanks to Concubine Yan De's skill, After four or five days of hurrying, I finally got almost ready, and then for the little red belly pocket rusty auspicious clouds, everything can be ready, no, when I heard a giggling shallow laughter outside, Concubine Yan De was sketching the last few threads for the auspicious clouds.

"Sister, you are busy working for the pure little brother again, if you want me to say, why do you need my sister to do this by herself, just tell the people to do it." Wu Mei Niang didn't arrive, but the words arrived first.

Concubine Yan De smiled kindly, put aside the half-embroidered work in her hand first, looked at Wu Meiniang who was dancing with eyebrows and said: "Meiniang is here, sister, this is just a heart, Zhen'er is far away, and sister, who is a mother, can't help, just do some for him." ”

"Sister, you are a blessed person, Xiao Chunzi was crowned king just after birth, this is the first copy of the Tang Dynasty, and the little sister is envious, hehe, sister, you don't know, some people heard about it, but they had a big attack in the palace, and killed a few people who made small mistakes with a cane, tsk, pitiful!" Wu Meiniang walked to the couch with a smile, picked up the work that Concubine Yan De had just put down and played with it, and said stinging words intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Concubine Yan De never took the initiative to stir up right and wrong, but she was not a person who was closed to the news, after hearing it, she naturally understood that some of the people Wu Meiniang said were referring to Concubine Yang Shu, with Concubine Yan De's personality, she didn't want to talk about these black palace chores, at this time, she saw that Wu Meiniang was going to talk about the palace battle, but she didn't plan to pick up the stubble, smiled indifferently, and changed the topic: "Mei Niang, you haven't been here for a few days, come, see if my sister's craftsmanship has regressed." ”

Wu Meiniang didn't like female popularity since she was a child, that is, after entering the palace, because she was not favored, she had nothing to do, and she studied with Concubine Yan De for a while, but she never learned it, and her needlework is estimated to be the worst in the harem. At this point, a pair of big eyes rolled, and suddenly continued: "Sister, have you heard, the courtiers outside are agitating for His Majesty to let the prince take the position of the East Palace, what do you think of this?" ”

The prince's matter of the position of the East Palace has been spreading all over the world, not only outside the palace, but also in the palace, there is no stop to the noisy, saying everything, Concubine Yan De knows it in her heart, but she still adheres to the consistent practice of this matter, ignores it, and does not allow the people in her palace to discuss this matter indiscriminately, at this time, seeing that Wu Meiniang came up with such a question for no reason, some of them couldn't react for a while, and they were stunned for a moment, then they shook their heads and said: "Mei Niang, you know, my sister is a lazy character, The elder sister of the court never asks, and the prince's affairs have his own saints and ministers to worry about, so it's better for me to do my duty. ”

Although Concubine Yan De's words are very plain, but the inside is undoubtedly resolute, that is, no matter how the prince is, Concubine Yan De will not pay attention to it, the meaning of these words Wu Meiniang can understand, but Wu Meiniang knows better - don't look at Concubine Yan De, in fact, Concubine Yan De and the Yue Wangfu have always been one, since Li Zhen left Beijing, many of the decisions of the Yue Wangfu family are actually from the hands of Yan Defei, and Yan Defei's opinions are often the guiding beacon of the officials of the Yue Wangfu. It's just that Concubine Yan De acted cautiously and never showed the slightest flaw, and outsiders didn't know, but Wu Meiniang had been by Concubine Yan De's side for a long time, although she didn't find out how the two sides were in contact, but she faintly noticed that there was something strange about it. Brother Zhen finally made a great contribution, and jumped out of some uninteresting mad dogs barked indiscriminately, and made Brother Zhen lose the reward, which is really hateful, if the prince can come forward to serve the council, according to the good relationship between the prince and Brother Zhen, see if those mad dogs dare to bark. ”

Concubine Yan De is a smart person, when she heard Wu Meiniang say it so explicitly, how could she not guess that Wu Meiniang was a lobbyist for the prince, and she couldn't help but wonder how Wu Meiniang got on the prince's line, but she didn't break it, and she didn't plan to talk about anything more about this matter, she just smiled and said: "Mei Niang, the palace is not as good as the outside, some things are better not to be involved too much, sister's words are left here, Mei Niang must be assertive." ”

Since Wu Meiniang entered the palace, it has always been Concubine Yan De who is taking care of her, otherwise, Wu Meiniang's arrogance when she first entered the palace has already died I don't know how many times, at this time, I heard Concubine Yan De's words so seriously, and my heart was also a little moved, but unfortunately she has no way back now, at this time, I saw that Concubine Yan De didn't want to talk more about the prince, but she refused to give up, and smiled: "Sister is right, Mei Niang knows, but Mei Niang thinks that the prince's entry into the East Palace is only good and not bad for Brother Zhen, For the sake of Brother Zhen'er's future, you might as well push it on the handy things. ”

Li Zhen did not hide the matter of Li Zhen pushing the prince Li Zhi to be the target, although he did not report all the plans, but the meaning has been known through Liu Dequan, the head of the Yue Mansion who stayed in Beijing, and Yan Defei, with the wisdom of Concubine Yan De, he understands that there is a great risk, but he also knows that this move is Li Zhen's helpless strategy, without him, Anxi is a place of a hundred battles, although the soldiers are dangerous and dangerous, there are many opportunities to make great contributions, with Li Zhen's martial arts, it is expected to be a great achievement, in this way, it is bound to become Wu, The target of Wei Shuangwang's key attack, if there are a few more things like the Anxi impeachment case, even if Li Zhen makes more credit, I am afraid that it will be all in vain, after all, the three of them become tigers is not a joke, once it affects Li Shimin's trust in Li Zhen, then all Li Zhen's efforts will be in vain, and there is even the possibility of being degraded, but the introduction of the prince Li Zhi as a target but also has a big trouble, once the prince takes advantage of the situation to go straight to the clouds, under the full wings, I am afraid that no one can help him, It is difficult to judge the pros and cons of this, therefore, Concubine Yan Defei is not sure whether Li Zhen's risky move is good or bad, but there is one thing that Concubine Yan Defei is clear, that is, Li Zhen never does something that he is not sure of, this matter looks dangerous, but Li Zhen must have a trump card in his hand that has not been moved, therefore, Concubine Yan Defei agreed to Li Zhen's decision after thinking about it again and again, and let Na Long operate this matter, of course, all of this is a behind-the-scenes move, and it is bound to not be discussed on the table. At this time, seeing that Wu Meiniang's words were becoming more and more explicit, Concubine Yan De's brows immediately furrowed, and she said with a slightly unhappy expression: "Mei Niang, sister has said, my sister doesn't want to hear about these things outside the palace, let alone participate, it's not early, tomorrow Qin is going to the Western Regions to deliver the decree, my sister has to hurry up to finish these needles, if Mei Niang has nothing to do, just go back." ”

Concubine Yan De treats people peacefully, especially to Wu Meiniang, she never says anything serious, at this time it is already a very displeasing performance, Wu Meiniang does not dare to stay longer, fortunately, what she wants to say has been said, she believes that with Yan Defei's wisdom, she will be able to hear the mystery, so she will not stay longer, and said with a smile embarrassedly: "Okay, it's Mei Niang who is too talkative, sister, you are busy, Mei Niang will leave first." As soon as the words fell, he got up neatly and withdrew from the room in a daze.

"Hey......" was so troubled by Wu Meiniang, Concubine Yan De had no intention of being busy with those needlework anymore, holding the almost finished little belly pocket for a long time, but she was never able to calm down, sighed, got up with a slight trance, and planned to go to the courtyard outside the hall for a walk, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side were all busy, planning to accompany Concubine Yan De to go out together, and the movement was not small, and immediately woke up Concubine Yan De from the trance.

"You don't have to follow, this palace just wants to be alone and quiet." Although the people who can stay in this palace are all trusted confidants of Concubine Yan De, but at this time, Concubine Yan De did not want them to accompany her, frowned, waved her hand lightly, and after giving a command, she walked out of the door, passed through the main hall, bypassed the screen, and walked towards the gate of the palace, but she never thought that she had just walked to the gate of the palace, but she was disturbed by a burst of chatter, and stood a little unhappy, but when she heard it, her face immediately changed.

“…… Pull it down, you, nonsense, what kind of character is that martial artist, how can he keep up with the prince, nonsense. ”

"Really, I didn't lie to you, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Impossible, you kid is just a sweeper, they really have that, how can you see it, cut, then why don't I have that eye."

"Really, it's true, I'll tell you, I know this thing in the palace, hmph, if it weren't for my brother's sake, I wouldn't have told you."

"Presumptuous!" As soon as Concubine Yan De heard this, she couldn't hold back any longer, turned out of the palace gate, and broke off.

When the two little eunuchs who were getting together in the mountains saw Concubine Yan De standing at the gate of the palace with a frosty face, they were immediately frightened, and they all knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling terribly, but they didn't even dare to say a word.

Previously, Concubine Yan De suspected that there might be some sub-ties between Wu Meiniang and the crown prince Li Zhi, and then listened to the private conversation between the two little eunuchs, and immediately understood that such a disorderly/incestuous thing was indeed true, and the shock in her heart was conceivable, but Concubine Yan De understood that this matter was important and must not be ignored, if she was not careful, it would immediately set off a storm in the palace, and she could not tell how many people would die because of this, at this time, seeing the two little eunuchs trembling, Concubine Yan De took a deep breath and said: " You will come with this palace. ”

Seeing the joyless and angry look on Concubine Yan De's face, the two little eunuchs were worried in their hearts, and they hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Niangniang spare her life, the slave and maid should die, the slave and maid should die!" ”

"When did this palace say that it would punish you, get up, there are some things in this palace that you have to do, and you should go into the palace with this palace." Concubine Yan De calmed down and said very calmly.

These two little eunuchs are small people who have just entered the palace for a short time, and they are also the lowest level of miscellaneous battles, but they also know that Concubine Yan De has always been kind and never easily punished people, at this time, seeing that Concubine Yan De did not look like she wanted to deal with them, she was relieved, and she didn't dare to ask more, they each glanced at each other, got up busily, and followed Concubine Yan De into the gate of Min'an Palace with a cower.

Concubine Yan De, who walked into the dormitory, didn't pay attention to the two little eunuchs who were trembling non-stop, and let them stand aside with their hands down, but she walked to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in some ink, and wrote on a blank letter paper, and after a while, she sealed the letter paper into the envelope and covered it with fire paint with her own hands, then turned around and said slowly: "Wuyong, the palace has prepared the full moon ceremony of Chun'er, and you will lead these two little fathers-in-law to the Yue Wang's Mansion together, and let them send them to Anxi quickly. Don't miss Chun'er's auspicious time. ”

Qin Wuyong, the chief eunuch of Min'an Palace, was strange that Concubine Yan De led two little eunuchs with tight eyes into the palace not long after, and at this time, listening to Concubine Yan De's careful explanation of things, he immediately heard that something was wrong, but he was a clever person, and he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he didn't say anything, just stood up and replied respectfully: "Yes, the old slave obeys the order." Concubine Yan De didn't say anything more, nodded and went out.

At this time, when they heard that Concubine Yan De asked them to enter the palace just to send some things to the Yue Palace, they immediately put their minds at ease, and they couldn't help but have a sweet dream of what would happen in the future once they got Concubine Yan De's appreciation, and for a while they forgot to step forward to carry those knitted things, and just stood there in a daze, seeing that Qin Wuyong was angry and funny, he stomped his feet and whispered: "Dog things, why are you still stunned, move things!" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes......" was scolded by Qin Wuyong like this, the two little eunuchs who were thinking about it came back to their senses, nodded busily, hurriedly ran forward, hugged the knitted fabrics on the couch indiscriminately, and was about to go out, so panicked that Qin Wuyong's face turned green with anger, and scolded: "Waste, just take it like this without packing, you two dogs are going to die, don't you put the things in the box, if you stain the things of the little prince, Cutting off the head of the dog is not enough to compensate, waste! ”

The two little eunuchs noticed that there was a not small box next to the couch, so they hurriedly put those clothes and the like into the box, but they were just handymen who swept the floor, how could they have done such a delicate work, and it took the old nose to tidy it up, and Qin Wuyong frowned, but when he thought of Concubine Yan De's strange order, he didn't want to say much, he scolded a few words with a calm face, and led the two little eunuchs out of Min'an Palace with an impatient face, and rushed to Yue Wangfu without mentioning it.

Since the Anxi impeachment case, Na Long, who stayed in the Yue Palace, has never slept well, although the Anxi impeachment case has passed, but the matter of the prince Li Zhi is on the agenda, for these things, Na Long can be said to be living like a year, seeing that tomorrow will be the day of the court, Na Long is even more restless, without him, a dangerous move is a dangerous move, a careless is the end of losing all the games, as far as Na Long's heart is concerned, he does not approve of Li Zhen's risk, but as a strategist, once Li Zhen makes up his mind, No matter how difficult it is, Na Long has to be hard-headed, and now Li Zhen and Mo Li are far away, and Concubine Yan De is in the deep palace, and all the affairs of the palace have to be carried by Na Long, so it goes without saying that he is tired, it is almost dusk at this time, and Na Long, who has worked hard all day, just wanted to let people prepare food, but suddenly heard the housekeeper Liu Dequan come to report, saying that Concubine Yan De sent someone to deliver a letter, and had to go out of the second door to greet him hungry.

"Mr. Na, the mother asked the old slave to say hello to Mr." Qin Wuyong used to come to Yue Wangfu to walk around, and he knew that Na Long was Li Zhen's confidant, and when he saw Na Long coming out to greet him, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him very politely.

"Don't dare, thank you for your love, Lord Qin is here to ......" Na Long was thoughtful at this time, and he didn't want to be polite, and asked straight to the point.

"That's the case, Niangniang asked the old slave to send the full moon gift of the little prince, and said that Mr. should send someone to Anxi urgently, don't miss the auspicious day of the little prince, oh, Niangniang still has a letter for Mr." Qin Wuyong also knew that the current situation was unstable, and seeing that Na Long asked directly, he didn't say much about it, and directly explained his intentions, and took out a letter stamped with fire paint from his big sleeve and handed it to Na Long as he spoke.

"Huh?" When Na Long heard this, he was stunned, without him, in the past, Concubine Yan De had something to order, it was always Liu Dequan who entered the palace to receive the order or Qin Wuyong passed it on, but it was just a message, and there was no such thing as pen and ink, at this time Qin Wuyong was already here, but he still had to convey it by letter, obviously the content of this letter was extremely important, Na Long was stunned, and he couldn't care about being polite, he stretched out his hand to take the letter, and looked at the title on it, it was indeed written to himself, there is no doubt that the left and right halls are all his own family, and Na Long did not consider avoiding suspicion, As soon as he tore his hand, he opened the envelope, and when he saw it, he was immediately a little dumbfounded-there were only a few words on the letter: carefully examine the two little eunuchs!

Na Long frowned quickly, arched his hand to Qin Wuyong and said: "Director Qin, Niangniang has an order, the two little fathers-in-law who came to send things with Director Qin must accompany the things to Anxi, hehe, Niangniang loves the little prince very much, this is for fear that things will be damaged halfway, after returning to the palace, Director Lao Qin will go to the inner prison to help sell the number, and ask Niangniang to rest assured, Na understands Niangniang's intentions." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good, Mr. Na, you're busy, the old slave will go back to the palace." Qin Wuyong was not a fool, as soon as he heard Na Long's words, he knew that this matter was important, and if he was not the chief eunuch who could participate, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he got up in a hurry and left.

"Wild goose." As soon as Qin Wuyong left, the smile on Na Long's face disappeared immediately, and he roared with a calm face.

"The subordinates are here." As soon as Nalong's words fell, the figure of Lord Yan flashed and appeared in the hall.

"Yan Da, separate the two little fathers-in-law who came to deliver things, and be sure to judge all the secret things, as long as the person is alive, go quickly!" Na Long didn't explain much, just glanced at the goose and gave the order coldly.

"Yes!" Seeing that Na Long said so urgently, Yan Da didn't ask anything, and replied respectfully, and the person had already floated out of the hall, leaving Na Long and Liu Dequan waiting uneasily in the hall.

More than half an hour later, Yan Da flashed back to the study, but did not immediately speak, but glanced at Liu Dequan, and then stood aside, Liu Dequan realized that this matter was so important that not only the chief Qin could not participate, but even he, the head of the palace, could not know, and did not dare to stay, so he got up silently, arched his hand to Nalong, and quietly withdrew from the hall. It wasn't until it was confirmed that Liu Dequan had gone away that Yanda whispered the results of the interrogation in Nalong's ear.

"What? Is there such a thing? When Nalong heard this, he immediately jumped up excitedly, his face was full of disbelief, and he didn't know what to do for a while......
