In the secret chamber of the Queen's bedchamber.

Yan'er and the eunuchs around Concubine Shuniang were all imprisoned inside, guarded by special people, and their hands and feet were tied to prevent them from having any chance of escaping.

The queen mother stood in front of them with the support of the palace maid, and the eunuch had already fainted with fright, but Yan'er looked at the queen mother with a resolute expression, and her eyes were a little similar to the original concubine Niangniang.

"It's really her daughter," the queen mother smiled: "If your mother is still sitting in the position of the concubine, maybe she can help you get out of trouble, but unfortunately, there is no one to help you now." ”

Yan'er frowned: "The third prince will find me sooner or later, and then take me back, you can't be arrogant for long?" ”

"Smack-"

A crisp slap landed on Yan'er's left cheek, and red and swollen marks soon appeared on her fair face.

Yan'er looked at the palace maid who beat her, her eyes were about to pop out, although she was beaten, the emotions on her face were still stubborn, and she didn't seem to intend to succumb to the queen's mother.

The queen mother didn't have much interest in her, what should be asked, what should be known, Yue Qingming had already asked clearly, all she had to do was to lock them up here, that's all.

"The time of this palace's arrogance is still long, but you, if you continue to be so self-righteous, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of here alive, this palace advises you to be honest."

Yan'er immediately struggled: "Why did Yue Qingming lock me up here? I want to see her! She promised to let me go, she liar! ”

"She promised you that I don't know anything about this palace, and I don't want to know, I only know that you are in the palace now, if you dare to make noise again, this palace will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dog!"

Yan'er was stunned, and as soon as the unreasonable words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back hard, but her resolute expression was already a little flustered at the moment, and she even lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the queen's face again.

The queen mother sneered, full of disdain: "Let people look at them, if someone dares to run away, they will be killed on the spot, and there is no need to inform the palace anymore!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after walking out of the secret room, the eunuch in the palace of the lady came to the queen's palace to spread the word.

The eunuch respectfully knelt in front of the queen mother and saluted, and then spoke: "Queen mother, the lady lady said that she has something to tell you, but since she is still in the lockdown period, please go to her palace to meet you now." ”

"Now?"

"Yes, right now."

The queen smiled, Concubine Shu picked really well at this time, Jiang Qianbai sent Yan'er and them to herself, and Concubine Shu was going to take herself away, it seems that she was planning to find someone in her own palace!

"But the palace has other things to do today, and I don't have time to go to Concubine Shu's bedroom," the queen mother smiled: "Otherwise, you go back and tell Concubine Shu, just say that this palace is really inconvenient today, and when you are free for two days, you will go to talk to her." ”

"This ......"

"What? The words of this palace are not good, are they? ”

"No, no, no, the slave didn't mean that, the slave will go back and tell the lady concubine."

The eunuch hurriedly withdrew, his expression nervous, his steps were fast, and he thought he was afraid.

The queen mother snorted coldly, she has been in the palace for so many years, she has never experienced anything, and she wants to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to calculate herself, which is really beautiful!

Concubine Bedroom.

Concubine Shu slapped the table violently, her expression angry: "What did you say?" The queen doesn't want to come to the palace? ”

The eunuch knelt in front of her and trembled: "Back to Concubine Shu's words, the queen said that it is not convenient today, and I will come to see you in two days." ”

"She has nothing to do in the dormitory on weekdays, at most she goes for a walk in the imperial garden, and she is clearly looking for an excuse not to see the palace!"

Concubine Niangniang's personal palace maid stepped forward, put the peeled grapes in the bowl, and said: "Niangniang, you are not in a hurry, the queen will not come if she does not come, and this will not delay our plan." ”

"But if you don't trick her into coming to this palace, how can this palace contain her?"

"Niangniang, whether you can contain the queen mother is actually not the most important thing, the most important thing is to be able to let the third prince smoothly bring people into the palace."

Concubine Niangniang frowned, this is not an easy thing to solve, if he just comes in by himself, it will be no problem, but if he wants to bring some people in, I am afraid that he will be stopped at the gate of the palace.

The palace maid said cautiously: "Concubine Niangniang, the slave maid has a way, I don't know if the maid is willing to listen." ”

"Say."

"The slave maid has a distant cousin who works as a guard in front of the palace gate, and he has a good relationship with those guards, if we spend some silver to buy them and let them relax the inspection when the third prince enters the palace, we may be able to help the third prince bring people into the palace smoothly."

Concubine Niangniang was a little worried: "Is the distant cousin you said reliable?" ”

"Absolutely reliable, the slave is very familiar with him, as long as the money is in place, he will never betray us."

Concubine Niangniang thought about it, now except for this method, there is no other better, although it is more dangerous, but it is better to sit stupidly in the room and do nothing, anyway, this is originally a life-related thing, success or failure is also in one fell swoop!

"Good!" Concubine Niangniang spoke: "Then you take the silver to win over those guards, be sure to let them cooperate with our actions, if there is a mistake, you will die with them!" ”

"Please rest assured, this matter will be successful!"

East Palace.

Jiang Qiancheng sent the people who watched Concubine Shu's bedroom to come back and say: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the palace maid beside Concubine Shu's mother went to the palace gate guard, brought a lot of food, and was sent over with the help of several eunuchs. ”

"The palace gate guard?"

"Yes, I heard that I went to bring food to her distant cousin."

Shan Wu smiled and said: "The food sent to the distant cousin is fake, it is true to win them over in the past, if the third prince really wants to rebel, the first step is to enter the palace smoothly." ”

"Shan Wu is right, sending food must be fake," Jiang Qiancheng put aside the fold in his hand: "I haven't heard of a palace maid who goes to deliver food to her cousin and is accompanied by a few eunuchs, why is the food so heavy?" ”

Shan Wu quickly reacted: "Your Highness, what do you mean is that those eunuchs brought over not food at all, but ......"

"It's silver," Jiang Qiancheng said, "It is used to buy the silver of those guards at the palace gate, and then the third prince will be able to enter the palace unimpeded." ”

"Then should we stop it now?"

"No," a smile flashed in Jiang Qiancheng's eyes: "It's not time yet, wait." ”
