Chapter 136: Tokens

Akihara didn't know how many laps she had paced at the palace gate, but she knew very well that she couldn't stop, because once she stopped, her mind would immediately be filled with all kinds of nonsense, which would drive her crazy. Yes, even with the extremely strange eyes of the guards at the palace gate, she was still like an ant on a hot pot, turning back and forth, until she saw that familiar figure appeared on the corridor not far away.

"Your Highness!" Qiu Yuan subconsciously stepped forward, and although the anxiety on his face was well restrained, he was still caught by Princess Taiping: "What's wrong, it's so decent, how do you look restless?" "Although it is true that she has spent a little time in the Wind Viewing Palace, she is not in a hurry to become like this.

"Isn't the slave worried about you?" Qiu Yuan stretched out his hand to support Princess Taiping, and replied in a muffled voice, but he didn't look very confident. To be honest, she didn't know what she was worried about, her master didn't enter the palace on the first day, and there was no one in the palace who could help her, but her heart was unstable from beginning to end, and she kept jumping "bang bang", until her thoughts were stirred into a pot of porridge, and there was nothing left except panic.

"What is there to worry about, I'm here to visit the sick, can Your Majesty still eat me?" glanced at her funny, Princess Taiping didn't stop long, and got into her carriage directly: "Let's go, go home." "There are a lot of people at the gate of this palace, it's really not a place to talk, not to mention that the matter is done, it's better to go back early.

Akihara knew it and didn't say anything more. The master and servant were relatively speechless, until they returned to the study of the princess of Zhenguo's mansion, Princess Taiping withdrew the maids who were waiting around, and took another sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then asked leisurely: "How are you doing, have you seen Shangguan Wan'er?" ”

With her status in the palace, she can naturally take her personal female official directly into the palace. However, today, she went to the Guanfeng Hall alone, for no other reason, but because Akihara was sent by her to work elsewhere. Since Shangguan Wan'er was sealed Zhaoyi, the number of times she can see her has become less and less, and if she deliberately finds an excuse to meet, it is too eye-catching. Only Akihara is already familiar with the palace, and it is unlikely to attract the attention of others, so it is very convenient to sneak over.

"See, Shangguan Zhaoyi didn't go out in his bedroom." Akihara replied solemnly: "Although she was a little surprised when she heard what you asked the slave to bring over, she didn't hesitate, and agreed after a little thought. As she spoke, she took out a white jade exquisite white jade with fine workmanship and delicate jade quality from her waist: "This is what Zhaoyi asked the slave to hand over to you, saying that it is counted as a token that she should come down, please Your Highness, just wait for the news with peace of mind." ”

Receiving the thing from Qiu Yuan's hand with a surprised face, Princess Taiping couldn't help but snort: "Nine turns of exquisite admiration, I haven't seen you for many years." This was given to her by her mother in public at the New Year's Eve banquet that year, but she didn't expect that she would be willing to take this out as a token. It seems that Shangguan Wan'er has really made up her mind this time. ”

"It's actually a ...... rewarded by Emperor Wu" When Qiu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but stare at the jade pendant, and was speechless: "Such a valuable object was taken out at random like this, it seems that Shangguan Zhaoyi has had a good life over the years." "It is worthy of being the head of the female officials of Shangyang Palace who was most favored by the saint back then, even if Emperor Wu is no longer there, she can still dominate in His Majesty's harem today. With such an opportunity, I'm afraid that I can't count a few of them if I look at all dynasties.

Hearing her say this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but chuckle: "It's not necessarily how good it is." However, if it weren't for this token that appeared in plain sight, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed her at all. Shangguan Wan'er is such a smart person, but she is willing to take the initiative to hand over the handle at this time, just to cooperate with me...... What is her current situation, you should understand if you think about it. "When she said that she was going to join forces with herself to deal with her mother, she was so slippery and unleaning on both sides, let alone a real token, and she never even dropped a precise word. Such a cunning and sleek woman, if it is not to the point of last resort, how can she show weakness to herself?

"This ...... Unlikely, right? Qiu Yuan immediately understood the meaning of his master, but the expression on his face was very suspicious: "Hasn't her power in the harem and the previous dynasty always been very great, almost comparable to the deputy prime minister, how can she ......" Because Shangguan Wan'er has outstanding literary talents, excellent wisdom, and a prominent reputation in the literary world, and has been honored and favored by two dynasties, this is almost a deep-rooted impression in the concept of Shendu people. A difficult and embarrassed Shangguan Wan'er, she couldn't imagine it anyway.

"What you said, that's all the past when the imperial brother first ascended to the throne." Playing with the jade ornaments of excellent color, Princess Taiping's mood was obviously much better than before: "Later, since the emperor's brother was repeatedly ill, Wei gradually took all the power in his hands. As for Shangguan Wan'er, it's just a beautiful pretense for the world to see. Now she is an unfavored concubine, and she has to beg for a life under her Webster everywhere, how can life be better? Saying that, she sighed slightly, and seemed to feel a little emotionally about the impermanence of life: "Speaking of which, after her mother's abdication, the reason why she was able to go up to the next level without being affected was only because of her secret support for the imperial brother during the coup d'Γ©tat, and Wu Sansi, the old thief, who supported her behind her back." But now, the former is seriously ill and has no time to take care of himself, and the latter has returned to the west with his life and disappeared. Overnight, the two backers all fell, and what else could she do but become a fish and let others slaughter her? My life-saving straw happened to be delivered in time, otherwise, with that woman's arrogance, I am afraid that I have to look ahead and think about it, how can I agree so happily! ”

Qiu Yuan carefully explored the entanglements, but in the end he had to smile with a bitter face: "The slave is dull, I still don't understand." Earlier, weren't Shangguan Zhaoyi and Empress Wei together, why did they become enemies on both sides at this time? Although the two of them are both Li Xian's harem ladies, the former and the emperor do not have any husband and wife feelings at all, and there is no contradiction with Wei, how can they get to this point?
