When Jiang was mentioned, it was difficult to hide the murderous aura and coldness in Wuchen's eyes.

"Don't worry, King Ling knows in his heart, he will definitely not let the Jiang family's plan succeed, and the person who should have the most headache now is not us, but the Jiang family."

Hearing Wuchen say this, Yuan Feng thought that this was indeed the truth.

Jiang's plan has been exposed, Li Yuan has also died, and Jeju City, even if it was laid by Jiang's net earlier, is full of loopholes at this moment.

It seems that this Jeju trip will eventually end with King Ling's complete victory.

……

Just when the disaster relief operation in Jeju City was in full swing, the Yonghe Palace, the imperial city of the capital, was bleak and cloudy.

Jiang Shi sat on the phoenix chair, looking at the flying pigeon in his hand, a pair of sharp eyes that were already gloomy owls looked ugly after seeing the news of Li Yuan's violent death clearly written on the letter.

I saw her tearing up the letter in her hand with a hideous face, walking down from the phoenix chair with fast steps, and shouting outside the hall: "Come on, come on." ”

With Jiang's roar, the eldest aunt who was waiting outside ran in quickly with small steps, looked at Jiang's ugly face, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Niangniang's face so ugly?" But what happened? ”

Looking at the loyal servants beside him, Jiang stomped on the ground with his foot angrily, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There is news from Jeju City that Li Yuan was actually killed, and what is even worse is that he doesn't even know who killed him." ”

When Ying Lan heard this, she was also shocked, and when she looked down and saw the scraps of paper that Jiang had stepped on under her feet, although she couldn't see what was written on it, but looking at the scraps of paper that were thrown everywhere, it was not difficult to guess Jiang's anger at this moment.

Ying Lan is worthy of being an old man who has been serving Jiang all the year round, and she can almost guess what Jiang is thinking in her heart.

Now, seeing that the situation in Jeju City has taken a turn for the worse, she also considers that possibility; Rushing up, she lowered her voice and said in Jiang's ear: "Does Niangniang suspect that Li Yuan's death may be related to His Royal Highness King Ling?" ”

"Do you think so too?"

Facing Jiang's cold eyes, Ying Lan endured the trembling in her heart and said her thoughts: "According to the time spent on the prince's road, it should be Jeju City at this moment; Li Yuan is our person, perhaps he was killed because he exposed himself to being detected by King Ling in his contact with King Ling. ”

Hearing Ying Lan say this, Jiang suppressed his anger and walked around twice in place with a tense face.

Finally, he stopped, shook his head gently, and said, "No, the method of directly killing people is not the method of Zhao Ling's scumbag in the past; If he really noticed that Li Yuan was different, he would only take a good step and deceive Li Yuan to get more clues and tricks about the palace, so that he would not directly kill Li Yuan like this. You know, Li Yuan is our secret chess in Jeju City, and catching Li Yuan is equivalent to grabbing the pigtail of the main palace, that is always against the main palace, do you think he will give up the opportunity to put the main palace to death?! ”

Hearing Jiang say this, Ying Lan also felt quite reasonable, "Yes, she is still a wise lady and knows King Ling well enough." It's just that who killed this Li Yuan? Do you have a clue now? ”

At the mention of this, Jiang was angry.

"Those people in the rivers and lakes are all a group of reckless men who are fierce and ruthless, what will they do besides killing people? Under their noses, under their protection, Li Yuan was actually quietly killed; Moreover, they don't even have a clue to find the murderer, and this palace has really raised them for nothing over the years. ”

Aunt Yinglan pondered Jiang's words, and tentatively put forward her opinion: "Niangniang, since our people can't find clues, why don't we find a way to spread this news to the emperor's ears; After all, Li Yuan is the minister of the court, and he died in such an unknown way, and the imperial court should send officials to investigate, and at that time, we will naturally find out who killed Lord Li. ”

Listening to Aunt Yinglan's suggestion, Jiang thought of something else: "Yinglan, now Zhao Ling is in Jeju City, isn't it?" ”

Ying Lan was stunned by Jiang's question, but she still replied respectfully: "Yes, King Ling should have arrived in Jeju City." ”

A cold light appeared in Jiang's eyes: "You said, if the disaster relief Qin sent people to death, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, will he Zhao Ling be very troublesome." ”

Ying Lan looked at Jiang in surprise, "What do you mean by ......?" ”

Jiang sneered: "We arranged for Li Yuan to be in Jeju City, just to wait for Zhao Ling's cheap seed to take the bait, and now that Li Yuan is dead, it is equivalent to the nullification of this dark chess piece that we have carefully arranged; However, if it is really so wasted, this palace is still reluctant. Since we had the intention to use Li Yuan at the beginning, then use it to the end, he did not do his best for the palace during his lifetime, and if he could bite Zhao Ling after death, it would not be in vain. ”

As soon as Aunt Yinglan heard Jiang say this, she immediately understood what Jiang meant: "Niang Niang is going to blame Lord Li's death on King Ling's head?" ”

The sinister smile on the corner of Jiang's mouth became more and more vigorous: "The truth of the matter is that Zhao Ling's Qincha team died when they were about to approach Jeju City, but few people know the truth; In that case, why don't we do something about this, so that people think that Zhao Ling went to Jeju City and killed Li Yuan; Kill the court officials at will, even if he Zhao Linggui is the prince, it is not easy to deal with him; When the time comes, we will encourage our people to join Zhao Ling in the court, and at that time, will Zhao Ling still have good fruits to eat? ”

Aunt Yinglan listened to Jiang's plan and couldn't help muttering in her heart: Poisonous.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he bowed his head obediently and praised: "It's still the mother's wisdom, which can turn a dead chess piece into a killer weapon; Now that King Ling is far away in Jeju City, no matter how great his magical power is, he can't whip up the movements of this court; When we blame Li Yuan for killing him, then he will become a murderer. It's just Niangniang, King Ling is the prince after all, if we want to hold him, there must be a nod from the emperor in this matter; In the past few years, King Ling has been quite flattered in front of the emperor, and I don't know what the emperor's attitude will be in this matter. ”

Fortunately, with Aunt Yinglan's reminder, Jiang immediately looked outside the palace gate, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Go to the Taihe Hall with the palace to test the emperor's tone." ”

"Yes."

……

After two incense sticks, Jiang's phoenix stopped in front of the Taihe Palace, Aunt Yinglan stepped forward to help Jiang down, and walked quickly to the palace door, and said to the palace attendant who was waiting in front of the palace: "Go in quickly and report, just say that the queen knows that the emperor has worked hard to approve the performance, and specially stewed a nourishing decoction to come to the emperor to enjoy." ”

Jiang's prestige in the harem is quite high, and even in front of the palace, there are many palace attendants who want to see her face; Now that the queen mother came to the Taihe Hall in person, the palace attendants who were waiting in front of the palace did not dare to slack off; I saw a rather clever little palace attendant hurriedly rushing into the hall to play, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

Jiang stood in front of the Taihe Palace, squinting his eyes and scanning the surroundings, while caressing the delicate armor cover on his finger rather boredly.

Just when she was about to withdraw her gaze and wait for Emperor Showa's summons, she suddenly glanced out of the corner of her eye and found that there was an equally delicate soft sedan chair parked in the middle of the Taihe Palace.

Looking at the soft sedan chair, Jiang gently beckoned to Aunt Yinglan: "Look at that coquette, who is riding it?" ”

After all, Aunt Yinglan is an old man in the palace, as long as she looks at it, she immediately recognizes it: "If you go back to Niangniang, the sedan chair seems to belong to Zhou Guifei of Qiwei Palace; Niangniang, Concubine Zhou won't be here at this moment. ”

Zhou Yanran? That vixen?!

Jiang's face immediately showed deep jealousy, and a pair of eyes were even more staring at the soft sedan chair, and he really wanted to rush up and set a fire to burn it.

Seeing that the Jiang family was angry, Aunt Yinglan persuaded on the side: "Niangniang, everything is important to the big things, and when we succeed in the future, are you afraid that there will be no chance to clean up these little sluts?" ”

Hearing Aunt Yinglan's words, Jiang took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Yes, when this palace sits on the throne of the queen mother, these fox spirits, this palace will pick their skins." ”

Ying Lan can understand Jiang's jealousy and anger at this moment, after all, there is no wife in this world who can really be generous enough to watch her beloved husband favor which concubine.

Niangniang has wronged herself for so many years, in order to be able to really grasp the power one day, and when that day comes, those who dared to oppose Niangniang in the past will not end well.

Thinking of the methods commonly used by Jiang Shiguan, Ying Lan couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart, following such a ruthless master, in addition to helping the master solve problems, it is more important to learn to survive under the hands of such a master.

Ying Lan will not forget that in the past, Jiang's side was followed by another big grandmother; But the big lady suddenly disappeared one day; Although no one mentioned it much, everyone knew why the big lady disappeared.

There is a saying that a companion is like a tiger, and this sentence can also be used in Yonghe Palace.

Aunt Yinglan accompanied Jiang to wait at the gate of the Taihe Hall for a while, and the little palace attendant who went to report quickly ran out, knelt respectfully in front of Jiang, and saluted: "Queen Mother, the emperor invites you in." ”

Jiang hurriedly asked Aunt Yinglan to tidy up her appearance, and then when she straightened her back and walked towards the Taihe Palace, she glanced at the soft sedan chair not far away from the corner of her eye, hiding the fierce light under her eyes, trying to make herself as generous and humble as possible, and appeared in front of Emperor Showa generously.

In the Taihe Palace, the dragon case was full of urgent recitals from various states and counties, and Emperor Showa was concentrating on commenting on Zhu Pi.

Hearing a movement approaching, he raised his head from the recital, and when he saw clearly who was coming, the disgust in his eyes was quietly hidden by him, and it was replaced by indifference and indifference.
