"Don't be clever and try to guess the mind of this palace." The imperial concubine is jealous of the Bai family, but it is also true that she looks down on the Bai family in her heart, "Even if the daughter of the Bai family can sit on the throne of the queen one day, it is just that the palace is willing to lift her, and then the palace will be the noble queen mother of the Great Zhou, but she is still the daughter of the humble concubine, and the imprint of the humble identity in the bones cannot be removed." ”

"The imperial concubine has a noble status, and she can't compare with the Bai family's humble background." Ning Zhiwen paused slightly when she said this, and then changed her words and said, "However, although the mother of the courtier's daughter is not as noble as the imperial concubine, she is also the concubine of the dignified Taifu Mansion. Ning Zhiyun said and suddenly raised her eyes to look directly at the imperial concubine, the grief in her eyes was true, and she was sure that the imperial concubine would be afraid of the Bai family: "The Bai family's methods are ruthless, and the scheming is also deep, the mother left her by her side, has she never been uneasy like a fish in her throat?" ”

The imperial concubine felt that leaving the Bai clan by her side was a hidden danger of thorns in her back, and she couldn't feel at ease, but now in order to appease the Bai clan and win over Ning Fanzhi, she had to stay with the Bai clan for the time being.

"Since you have seen the world so thoroughly, and you know the situation in the DPRK and China well, you should understand the reason why this palace allows the thorn in the back!" The imperial concubine didn't want to play any dumb riddles with Ning Zhiyun anymore, she had already truthfully expressed her concerns, and wanted to take this opportunity to explore Ning Zhiyun's bottom.

Ning Zhiyun saw that the imperial concubine no longer had anything to hide, so she naturally replied with sincerity: "The imperial concubine regards the eldest sister as the best candidate for Prince Heng's concubine, but it is because the eldest sister is the dual identity of the concubine of Zuo Xiang and the granddaughter of General Bai. Ning Zhixuan wanted to continue to delve into the topic, raised her head and instinctively looked at the little palace maids who were waiting beside the imperial concubine.

After standing beside the imperial concubine, the cloud pattern comprehended Ning Zhiyun's meaning, and immediately instructed the palace maids: "You all retreat first." ”

After all the palace people withdrew, only the imperial concubine was left in the inner room of the wing room, Ning Zhiwen and Moire, Moire was the confidant of the imperial concubine, and Ning Zhiwen naturally knew that the imperial concubine could trust Moire.

Ning Zhiyun quickly continued on the topic of Fang Cai: "The imperial concubine wants to use the eldest sister to appease the old general Bai and the Bai family, and the courtier just thought of a good idea that can not only appease the old general Bai, but also keep the imperial concubine from being stuck in her throat. ”

Although the Xiao family said that none of their descendants were successful, but now that the old general Xiao is alive and well, and the imperial concubine is also in the palace, it may not be impossible to clean up the Bai family, but it is out of long-term considerations, I don't want to cause trouble to Xiao Wall, and I cheapened Shangguan Hanyue, who watched the fire from the other side.

"Speak up and listen." The imperial concubine supported her forehead with one hand, leaned on the soft collapse, and looked at Ning Zhixuan's gaze with five points of belief and five points of doubt.

"Niangniang wants the Bai clan to settle down from now on, and the Bai clan wants to seek greater benefits through Ning Banghua." Ning Zhiwen continued, "In the final analysis, all the hopes of the old general Bai will ultimately fall on the child in the womb of the eldest sister, but if the eldest sister has not given birth, won't the hopes of the Bai clan be disappointed." ”

The imperial concubine couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she heard Ning Zhiwen's so-called wonderful idea, if she could use these means on Ning Banghua's body, then the imperial concubine didn't have to worry about the Bai family's ambition to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the future, but I was afraid that she had just given Ning Banghua the means, and the Bai family was going to grab the imperial concubine's pigtail and stab the matter to the front of the emperor, after all, the companion is like a tiger, and the Xiao family's high achievements have shocked the lord over the years, and the word fear alone is enough to give birth to any variables, and it is impossible to be caught in the wrong place.

Looking at the imperial concubine's slightly frowning eyebrows, Ning Zhixuan didn't dare to sell it anymore, but said bluntly: "If the imperial concubine Niangniang secretly attacked the eldest sister, she would naturally be caught, but if the eldest sister herself and Prince Heng and her husband and wife are not harmonious, and even worse, the family is restless, and the imperial concubine Niangniang feels that who should the Bai family go to to get this account back?" ”

"From the very beginning, you made up your mind to be willing to enter the palace as a concubine, because you wanted to disturb the discord between Hua'er and Qing'er's husband and wife." The imperial concubine now understands Ning Zhixuan's overall plan, "It's just that Hua'er has the Bai family from the side, I'm afraid it may not fall into your trap." ”

The imperial concubine glanced at Ning Zhiyun, and a pair of sharp phoenix eyes conveyed the meaning that Ning Zhiyun was afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty.

Ning Zhiwen understood the meaning in the eyes of the imperial concubine, and then explained: "The eldest sister hates me to the bone, hatred can always blind people's minds, not to mention the arrogance of the eldest sister who has not suffered the slightest setback since she was a child. ”

"The plot in your heart is now known to the palace, and only you can arouse Hua'er's jealousy, thus disrupting the Bai clan's position." The imperial concubine had already changed her words as she spoke, and her eyes forced Ning Zhiyun to say, "It's just that this palace can't understand that you are willing to pay for your life's happiness to help this palace, and what do you want from this palace or Prince Heng?" ”

"The purpose of the courtiers has already made it clear to the imperial concubine from the beginning that what the courtiers want is just the destruction of the Bai clan and Bai Jingyan's head."

"This palace has never liked people who play tricks in secret." The imperial concubine obviously didn't believe that Ning Zhiwen had nothing to ask for except revenge, and when she spoke again, her words already contained some warnings, "A lowly person like the Bai clan actually wanted to hide from the world with a little cleverness, but she didn't know that her every move was already under the control of this palace. ”

Whether it is the Bai clan's plot to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or Bai Jingyan's plot to want Ning Banghua to sit firmly on the throne of the queen, in the final analysis, it is just a desire to hold greater authority in his hands, but if Ning Zhiyun wants the same as them, or even more than General Bai and Bai Jingyan, then why should the imperial concubine go to great lengths to drive away the jackals but get the tiger and leopard.

"Maybe in the eyes of most people in the world, power and glory and wealth are fatal temptations, but the courtiers have never put those in their eyes, and they will not open their mouths to the imperial concubine after the fall of the Bai family." Ning Zhiyun knelt on the ground as she spoke, and bowed deeply, "The courtiers are willing to enter the palace of Prince Heng as a concubine, which is the greatest sincerity of the courtiers, if the courtiers are really greedy for power, they will not give up the emperor's position of 'pavilion master' so easily, everyone doesn't know why the courtiers are frightened because of the little thief, only the courtiers themselves know that giving up the position of the pavilion lord is a reassuring pill for the courtiers to the mother." ”

The incomprehensible state of Ning Zhiyun's madness also made the imperial concubine suspicious, and she also secretly speculated about Ning Zhiyun's thoughts, but she never guessed Ning Zhiyun's true purpose.

"Niangniang, now the courtiers are just a commoner, and they are just concubines when they enter the palace, even if Niangniang suspects that the courtiers have bewitched Prince Heng, but the identity of the courtiers is here, not to mention that His Royal Highness Prince Heng is not easily bewitched by beauty." Seeing that the imperial concubine's eyebrows were slightly loosened, Ning Zhixuan hurriedly said, "What the courtiers want is just the destruction of the Bai clan and Bai Jingyan's head, if the imperial concubine is still not worried about the courtiers, you can send someone to serve the courtiers after the courtiers enter the prince's mansion, as long as the courtiers have nothing to do, the mother can also rest assured." ”

Ning Zhiwen is just a woman, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has never had a precedent for a woman to ascend the throne since the founding of the country, if there is no heir, everything Ning Zhiwen is planning will be unattainable.

"You really don't want anything outside of you? All you want is just to overthrow the Bai clan? "The imperial concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is used to seeing people's greed, and she knows that sometimes people will not let go of their relatives who are connected by blood for their own interests, and most of the so-called human nature is defeated by people's greed.

"The imperial concubine, the courtiers dare to swear by their deceased mother, if the courtiers have half a point of attachment to power or fame and fortune, then the courtiers' mothers will not be at peace under the nine springs." Ning Zhiyun swore righteous words on the surface, but in her heart she secretly slandered, "If you don't have real power in your hands and no money in your sleeves, wouldn't you be at the mercy of others, I want to get these things not because I am greedy for these, but only with these parties can I succeed in revenge!" ”

"This palace will believe you now." Seeing that Ning Zhixuan dared to swear by the deceased Ye Lanshuang, and promised that she would never give birth to Shangguan Qingyu's heir, she believed her in her heart, and then warned Ning Zhixuan again, "If this palace finds out that you have two hearts in the future, this palace will definitely make you regret your behavior of deceiving this palace now." ”

A few words lightly and shallowly, but it was like a hammer hitting Ning Zhiyun's heart one by one, it turned out that the means of threatening people were not in the harshness of the tone, but in the ruthlessness of the means, I am afraid that if the imperial concubine who has been immersed in the palace for a long time really initiates ruthlessness, it will really make Ning Zhiyun regret today's deception.

"For their own sake, the courtiers will never dare to deceive the imperial concubine." Ning Zhiyun knelt on the ground again and bowed deeply to the imperial concubine above.

The imperial concubine leaned on the couch and waved her hand towards Ning Zhixuan and said, "This is the mansion of Duke An Guo, you don't have to stay in the palace for a long time, go down!" ”

"The courtiers have retired." Ning Zhixuan bowed and retreated to the door, but when she was about to raise her feet and step out of the threshold, she listened to the imperial concubine again, "If you want to be attached to this palace and get the protection of this palace, you must not only be loyal to this palace, but more importantly, you must have the ability to be seen by this palace. ”

Ning Zhiwen listened to the words of the imperial concubine, and her heart tightened for no reason, but she couldn't say the reason for her nervousness, so she replied after calming down: "The courtiers remember the teachings of the imperial concubine. ”
