Thirty-nine, Xuanming preliminary study
Turning a blind eye, hearing but not listening, even if he did not harm others with his own hands, but actually helped the murderer, where can he shirk cleanly.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Si stole and sold so much silver, Wang Shanggong accepted the silver he gave in private, and now that she looks, she naturally "deserves". One is that they didn't report it at the beginning, and they also helped Penglai Palace, and second, they are just people in the same boat, where can they tell the difference between you and me.
"Awan, I didn't know this inside story, but today I heard you say that this Wang Shanggong is indeed in his position, and he should be abandoned. You're going to pull her down, and I'm in favor of it. ”
Pei Zhenwan teased: "I'm a little palace maid in Penglai Palace, and now I don't have the ability to manipulate the queen to dismiss this fifth-grade female official, only senior sister, you have to bother with it." ”
"I said that you went around in such a big circle, and your feelings were going to make me," Cheng Zhilan couldn't help laughing, "I talked to you for so long in vain, but you calculated me." ”
"Senior sister loves me, so I'm naturally bolder." Pei Zhenwan smiled gently, her eyes were warm, and she didn't look like Fang Cai's coldness at all.
Cheng Zhilan smiled and shook her head, thought for a while, and said, "It's just that Ah Wan, you are so committed to Concubine Wei now, but it is not a way for a long time." Now that Agar Banxia is not by your side, naturally everything is bothered. Now that the old man in the palace of Concubine Wei is damaged, and the new force has not yet been established, why not take advantage of the right time to push the boat down the river and leave Penglai Palace? No matter how bad it is, think of a way to come to my Shangyi Bureau, and you don't have to act under the nose of Wei Guifei everywhere. ”
"Don't worry, although Penglai Hall is not a good place to go, now Wei Manzhi can't spare the energy to think about my affairs," Pei Zhenwan's gentle expression had already been put away, and she changed back to a cold face. "I can't be too ostentatious now, she still believes in me at the moment, and if she wants to lead her to do something, I can still do it. If I leave her, it will soon arouse her vigilance, and I will talk about it when I set up the rest of the game. ”
"She has not been in the palace for nothing all these years, and the eldest princess is extremely loved by His Majesty, not to mention that there is the Maoguo Marquis Mansion outside the palace, I am indeed a little worried, you have not yet pulled out her power, she has reacted, and when you are in her hands, won't you let her knead it?"
The corners of Pei Zhenwan's lips were meaningful, and she shook her head and said: "The more internal and external reconciliation should be, the more we must let her break her honor and favor first, otherwise when the time comes, Mao Guohou will definitely not sit idly by, Wei Manzhi is wronged and crying to Emperor Chen in the palace, I am the tricky." I have three months at most, everything will be ready, and when the time comes, I will naturally go to the front of the stage and fight with her. ”
"Ah Wan, how sure are you now?"
"It's not much, now it's fifty or sixty percent, there is a serious matter for you to help me do, senior sister, if this matter is successful, there is probably an eight-point chance of winning."
Although Cheng Zhilan didn't know all about her arrangements, with her understanding of Pei Zhenwan, she was willing to believe it, shook her fists and said, "I hope everything goes well." ”
"Naturally, it will go well," Pei Zhenwan smiled and glanced at Cheng Zhilan, "After chatting for such a long time, the sun is just right, let's go out for a walk." ”
"Huh? Where are you going," Cheng Zhilan was a little stunned, "You walk outside with me, you are not afraid of ......"
"Master Selmer, give me a set of Shangyi Bureau uniforms to wear." Pei Zhenwan chuckled and stepped forward to pull her with a hint of joke.
Cheng Zhilan hadn't asked clearly, but was picked up from the chair by Pei Zhenwan, and continued to ask unwillingly: "Where do you want me to get you clothes now, what you want to do is to pretend to be a palace maid from my Shangyi Bureau to go out for a walk?" ”
Pei Zhenwan stopped, Ying Ying smiled, and the next sentence almost choked Cheng Zhilan.
"Then you'll have to steal clothes."
Jokes aside, after a while, Cheng Zhilan, the master of Shangyi Bureau, slowly walked out from Liushang with an entourage dressed in the uniform of a low-level palace maid of Shangyi Bureau. At this time, it is nearly July, the summer is coming, the Chen Palace is full of flowers, but there is a slight scorching feeling under the bright sun, some delicate flowers hang their heads slightly after noon, and the little eunuchs who sprinkle and sweep are watering on the palace roads everywhere, and some coolness floats up faintly, and it is not too hot at all.
The direction in which the two walked steadily was Xuanming Palace.
Since the inexplicable typhoid epidemic in Xuanming Palace six years ago, there have been no new palace concubines in Xuanming Palace. If you talk about the popularity here, I'm afraid that after a few years, there will not be one or two customers who step through the door.
Rao is Shen Zhaorong's heart is like ashes, she spends her days in the ancient Buddha land of green lanterns, she is also one of the nine concubines of Chen Palace, and the forbidden army palace people stationed outside Xuanming Palace also have regulations. Cheng Zhilan glanced at the pass sign to the guards outside the side door, and entered the palace smoothly.
The inside doesn't look as decent as the outside.
Because Shen Zhaorong has hardly left the palace in the past five or six years, and Emperor Chen has never stepped into the Xuanming Palace again, the palace people under the Zhaorong system have also been dismissed by Shen Zhaorong, leaving only two personal maidservants from Nanshu, and two eunuchs who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping miscellaneous labor.
This looks the same, but it is bleak.
All the way in, there are almost no ornaments in the palace rooms, there are no precious flowers and plants in the garden of the palace, some ordinary orchids and bamboos are planted in the flower beds, although they are not carefully pruned, but they are not scattered.
Pei Zhenwan smiled faintly, fortunately, it's not all business-free.
Walking inward again, the door of the main hall was closed, and Cheng Zhilan sent someone to inquire before, saying that Shen Zhaorong had sealed the main hall by himself since that incident, and moved to live in the small building behind the main hall, and the main hall had not been opened again for five or six years.
Not far from the main hall, there is a small building with a square pattern, from a distance, this should be the Xuanming Palace for the masters to use during the day to escape the summer heat, it is not big, but Shen Zhaorong is only three masters and servants now, and it is not crowded to live here.
Cheng Zhilan and Pei Zhenwan stood in the shade next to the main hall, and they could hear a little sandalwood from a distance, the smell was elegant, gentle and timeless. People who worship the Buddha naturally live with sandalwood all day long. After a long while, I saw a maid dressed in a plain palace maid's costume, slowly walking out of Xiaozhu, holding a small wooden drawer in her hand, and went to a tree in the garden, plowed the soil and poured down the things in the wooden drawer, and buried it carefully.
Those who worship the Buddha mostly bury the incense ashes in the soil, "dust to dust, soil to soil", buried deep in the ground, offering all things to prosper and grow, and they are also planting good causes for themselves, and they will surely get good results in the future.
Cheng Zhilan lowered her voice and asked quietly: "You and I walked in with great pains and have been standing here for a long time, do you just want to take a few sneaky glances today?" ”
Pei Zhenwan's eyes were firmly locked on Xiaozhu's half-open door, and she replied softly: "Naturally, I can't go this way in vain, but today, I just want to see if Shen Zhaorong's current heart is really gone." This experience is not bad. ”
"What's the explanation?" Cheng Zhilan looked at the plain palace maid under the tree, who had filled in the soil pit, got up and slowly wanted to go back.
"You see, although this Xuanming Palace is cold and desolate, it is not unattended, and the incense ashes in the incense burner are also carefully buried in the soil, which shows that Shen Zhaorong is not without pursuit. Grief is greater than heart death, but looking at it now, it's not that it can't be saved. ”
Cheng Zhilan followed her words and looked around, nodded and said, "Your analysis is indeed reasonable, but she has been silent for all these years, but I am worried that she has already accepted her fate." ”
"Then we have to find out in person, senior sister, you can take this and take a look later."
