Chapter 546: It's time to consider taking sides
Lian Xiang nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, the little master must protect himself first." ”
Li Wanyan's IQ is back, and her mind is clear, which makes her see hope and feel very gratified.
"You go out for me to inquire about Concubine Yi and Concubine Duan, the more detailed the better, I want to know about them." Li Wanyan commanded.
"Concubine Yi, Concubine Duan?" Lian Xiang was puzzled, "Why does the little master want to know about these two mothers?" They have never had anything to do with the little master, and they don't feel much sorry for the little master, so why should the little master ask the slave and maid about them? ”
Li Wanyan said clearly: "This Sun Guiren took refuge in Concubine Rong, Wang Guiren took refuge in the Imperial Concubine, although I am a concubine, but I am not a concubine after all, everyone thought that I was from the Imperial Concubine's side, and she could take care of me more, but you can also see that the Imperial Concubine was told by everyone that she didn't dare to help me at all, so I had to choose another ally." ”
"Little Lord means that you want to go to these two masters? But your status is so high, isn't it wronged for you to go to them? ”
Li Wanyan took a deep breath, why didn't she think so, but now that she is in a difficult situation, she can't take care of these pride and face, if she doesn't choose a backer, there will be no one to help her speak.
She said eloquently: "When I came to this palace, what was my previous identity, not to mention that there were many concubines who were in the same position as me, didn't they want to sit on the concubine position?" I am so favored, I am a concubine when I enter the palace, and I am favored, how can they not be in a hurry? In this palace, only by becoming a concubine can we have the right to speak, so the vacant concubine position has become something we have to compete for. ”
"If I don't choose a backer, I will only be targeted by them, and only if I choose a concubine to take refuge, will someone be able to help me speak, and I can protect myself."
Lian Xiang nodded, and said with a clear look in her eyes: "Since the little lord has given up the imperial concubine, why doesn't the little lord take Concubine Rong into account, Concubine Rong and the imperial concubine have always been at odds, although Concubine Rong is sorry for the little master, but after all, what she has done is not very excessive, and Concubine Rong has lost Sun Guiren, and she definitely wants to recruit people again, and Concubine Rong has always been against the imperial concubine." ”
"The imperial concubine is not willing to protect you, then the concubine Rong must be willing to protect you, if you take refuge in her, she will be willing to do her best to help you sit on the concubine position, because you are the relative of the imperial concubine, if you can see you fighting with the imperial concubine, she will be even happier, so the slave feels that if you take refuge in the concubine, the benefits will be more and easier."
Her words provided Li Wanyan with a dead end, although Concubine Rong didn't punish her very harshly, but after all, it was because of her that her grace was broken, and this thorn has been stuck in her heart and can't come out.
And this seems to have a lot of benefits, but if Concubine Rong doesn't believe that she is sincerely taking refuge, it will be in vain.
But this Concubine Yi and Concubine Duan usually talk very little, and they seem to have no desires or desires, and they don't see them recruiting people and competing for favor, and they don't know what their strength is, whether they can protect her, and whether they are willing to have one more person in this harem to be on an equal footing with them.
She felt that if it was her, she would not be happy, no one hoped that she would have one more opponent, not to mention that she was still a relative of the imperial concubine, wouldn't helping her make the imperial concubine's power bigger, in case this was performed by the imperial concubine and the concubine, they would just lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, so it is very likely that they will not help her.
But what Lian Xiang said makes sense, Concubine Rong and the imperial concubine are not compatible, even if she is not happy to have one more opponent for herself, but as long as she can see her relatives fighting each other and competing for the back position, she should be happy, and it can be seen from the two of them who usually carry it.
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as its own difficulties, and it is really difficult for her to make a choice under the trade-off.
She was a little hesitant in her heart, and said with a struggling face: "I will think about what you said, but you still help me inquire about the matter of Concubine Yi and Concubine Duan, and you should be cautious in choosing a backer, and after you understand it clearly, it will not be too late for me to make a decision." ”
Lianxiang nodded and said: "Don't worry, the slave will inquire more for the little master, you really need to be cautious when choosing to stand in line, the little master eats first, and the slave and maid will go out to inquire." ”
Li Wanyan nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
"The slave and maid are gone." Lianxiang saluted.
At the same time, in An Changzai's residence, An Changzai was also worried that he couldn't eat.
"Caiyu, are you sure you weren't seen when you poisoned you? Now the emperor is very angry because of what Xin Chang is here, and has ordered General Yang to investigate in the palace, if this investigation reaches us, then we will die. An Changzai said with some concern.
Caiyu nodded again and again: "Don't worry, the little master is very cautious, and there are absolutely no traces left, General Yang will not find us." ”
Her reassurance was useless, An Changzai's eyes were flustered, and her hands and feet were busy, which showed how nervous she was in her heart.
An Changzai shook his head and said, "No, he will definitely find out!" It's me who is embarrassed by Wan Concubine, and I have had an unhappy relationship with Xin Changzai, and the person who doesn't want Xin Chang to sue the emperor should be me, they will definitely be the first to suspect me! ”
"Don't be afraid, the slave and maid are obscure, no one will find out, even if they are suspicious, they can't take the little master without evidence, you must not mess with yourself, otherwise even the gods and Buddhas will not be able to save you." Saiyu continued to reassure.
An Changzai showed bitterness on his face, "But in this palace, only me and Concubine Rong have conflicts with their sisters, Concubine Rong has a noble status, and in the end, I am the most suspicious, not to mention that we have done this in the first place." ”
"You say, will the imperial concubine ignore me and push me out to die in order to protect herself?"
When Caiyu heard this, she was also a little scared and uneasy, but she still replied: "No, absolutely not, if the imperial concubine Niangniang lets the little master die, the little master can break the net with her and tell her everything she has done one by one, and then the emperor will also change her opinion, so the imperial concubine will definitely not turn against the little master and push the little master out to die." ”
"The little master still has to be calm, don't be seen, otherwise there will really be no way to live."
"Calm, how do you calm me? If this matter cannot be handed over to a murderer, the emperor will continue to investigate, and sooner or later it will be investigated on us! An Changzai's eyes widened.
"Little master, don't panic, we have to calm down, get through the first hurdle first, let's talk about the future, and then we will find a way to save ourselves, isn't there a rumor that the plague was caused by assassins? When the time comes, we can find a way to blame the Assassins, or others who have a grudge against Wan Concubine and Xinchang. Caiyu suggested.
