Chapter 21: Distribution of Forces

Xie Shiyun's gestures were all the posture of a superior planner, which surprised Mama Wu.

But as long as Xie Shiyun wants to do it, she will definitely do her best to pave the way for her.

"The old slave must know everything."

Mama Wu is worthy of being an old man in the palace She knows exactly what characters live in each palace, how many heirs the emperor has, and all the forces in the palace.

Now there are thirteen princes and eighteen princesses in the emperor, and there are four princesses who have already been titled, all of whom have their own belongings and have left the palace.

And she is about to become the fifth titled princess, the highest status among all the royal heirs who have no title.

"Now there are thirteen princes in the palace, and my father is really wet with rain and dew."

Xie Shiyun sat at the table and listened, the pen in her hand casually teasing the butterfly sent by Xie Wen, her expression was leisurely but there was a cold light.

"In fact, there should be more heirs of the emperor than now, and those poor children have not been able to take a look at this world because of the unsightly filth in the palace."

Mama Wu said it euphemistically, and Xie Shiyun could also hear that the harem had not been a peaceful and happy place for thousands of years, and every inch of land here had the smell of blood.

This place of infinite glory and magnificence is also the deepest nightmare for many people.

"It's all iniquity, people in the royal family, no one's hands are clean."

When Xie Shiyun said this, the pen in her hand froze, her eyes turned cold, and she seemed to be comforting herself by sighing.

She will live a new life, and she will inevitably be the butcher with a knife in her hand, not a fish on the anvil to be slaughtered.

"Alas, the old slave has waited for many masters here, and he has looked down on the high spirits and autumn yellow flowers, and I only hope that His Royal Highness can get out of the mud without being stained."

Mama Wu's words had other meanings hidden in them, but Xie Shiyun had already heard them, and a smile was hooked at the corner of her mouth, "I have written down Mama Wu's words, and I will definitely not wronged Mama Wu in the future." ”

"Your Highness said this, and he was divided."

Mama Wu then told Xie Shiyun that although the crown prince Xie Yuan has been established today, it is common for the prince to seize the heir.

Now those who are gearing up to wait for the opportunity are the third prince Xie Zhuo and the fifth prince Xie Xingfeng.

Xie Zhuo was born by Concubine De, one of the four concubines, and his mother was his sister who had married into the Bai family, the fourth princess Xie Ruoyuan.

His mother's family is the Qi family, and now the Duke of Qi is the elder brother of Concubine De, and his ancestors are one of the founding heroes, so they have been blessed.

The honor of the hereditary prince of the country for future generations.

Xie Xingfeng is from the third concubine, and his first mother's compatriot is the second princess, Princess Xie Qingying of Pingyao, who is married to the eldest son of the Li Yushi family.

The mother's family is the Wen family, and the first imperial concubine is from the Wen family.

Although the Wen family has withdrawn from the court dispute like the Zheng family, it still has eyes and ears, and its family background is not easy to shake.

"They are all powerful princes, no wonder they are eyeing Xie Yuan's position as the crown prince, and let them snatch it, I also want to see this good show."

Xie Shiyun recalled that in his previous life, Xie Zhuo and Xie Xingfeng were both stupid people, and they did not cooperate to pull Xie Yuan off the horse first, but started to fight first.

In the end, both lost, so that Xie Yuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, benefited from the fisherman.

In their previous lives, Xie Zhuo and Xie Xingfeng had no way to resist Xie Yuan anymore and became tools under his hands.

"Xie Yuan has a good chance of winning, but today's game will definitely be more exciting and eye-opening."

Xie Shiyun smiled, this time she will do something tricky, she will not let Xie Yuan, who hurt her so much in her previous life, have good fruits to eat.

"No one can say for sure what is going on in this palace, and the emperor used to come over like this."

Mama Wu immediately covered her mouth as soon as she said this, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Xie Shiyun raised her eyebrows, she was like a blank sheet of paper, she didn't know anything, and Mama Wu seemed to be able to help her a lot.

"What did Mama want to say, I didn't hear it clearly just now."

Xie Shiyun showed that she was very interested in the secret mentioned by Mama Wu, but Mama Wu said that she would not divulge another word.

"Mama, aren't you worried about me?" Xie Shiyun didn't like others to talk halfway the most, she frowned and looked at Mama Wu, her eyes full of pleading.

Mama Wu sighed, opened the door and looked outside, closed the door and walked back.

"Since His Highness wants to listen, the old slave will not hide it from His Highness."

"The emperor of this Dachen should not be the emperor to sit, the crown prince of the first emperor is the deceased prince of the dynasty, but later on the edict of the first emperor, it is for the emperor to inherit the unification."

Mama Wu leaned into Xie Shiyun's ear and whispered, "It is rumored in the world that it was the emperor's edict tampered with, and the death of the prince and the childless early death of the princess were all planned by the emperor." ”

"It's really interesting that there are still rumors like this."

Xie Shiyun didn't react much after hearing this, she didn't think that her father, who had always been upright, had also relied on despicable means to gain power and status.

He is now terminally ill but there is no cure, and I think it is also the punishment given to him by God.

"Your Highness, don't leak this matter, this is the biggest taboo in the palace."

Mama Wu looked at Xie Shiyun's disapproving appearance and became even more nervous, and instructed Xie Shiyun to keep it secret.

Xie Shiyun is not a big-mouthed person, she knows what to do and what not to do.

"There is another thing, the old slave also heard it, the prince may have had a son, but in order to prevent the emperor from harming him, he faked his death and said that he died early, but in fact, he was sent to someone else's house to raise, if it is true, now I think about it, I should have more than a weak crown."

As soon as Xie Shiyun heard this, he was more interested than just now, and the orthodox descendants of Da Chen may still be living in this world.

She is thinking about the future events and who will be the new emperor.

However, she is also the emperor's daughter, and it is not yet known whether the prince of the dynasty will resent her.

"It's just hearsay, the past has passed, and if there really is such a child, it will have been disposed of by his father."

Xie Shiyun changed the topic and asked Mama Wu to explain to her the distribution of the power of the concubines in each palace.

Mama Wu has a lot of treasures for these, but she has served all the concubines of a certain grade. Mama Wu is good at serving people, and every time the emperor has a new favorite, he sends her over.

It's a pity that the emperor's new favorite is always few who live long, and over time, she is said to be unknown, and whoever serves the master will die.

After Concubine Ming died, because she still left the nine-year-old Xie Shiyun, Mama Wu was not transferred to other concubines.

"Over the years, thanks to Mama Wu, you have taken care of you."

Xie Shiyun listened to Mama Wu talk about her past, and thanked her for so many years of care and nurturing, if it weren't for her, she must have died in Shen En Pavilion to accompany her mother who died early.
