Chapter 25: Concubine Wan's Premeditation
"Lily of the valley is coming back soon, right?"
"Yes, she's signaled that she's on her way back."
"Send a signal to Fang Tuo."
"Yes."
"Send someone to follow Han Zijin."
"Yes."
"What's going on with Karutsuki?"
"I have entered the mansion and are waiting in Mrs. Zhao Yin's courtyard."
"Okay, let her hold steady and find Ying Han if she has something."
"Your Excellency, rest assured, everything has been explained."
"There you go."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
Concubine Wan Niangniang in the palace stood behind the rockery, and the eunuch next to her came to report: "Niangniang Zhao is here." ”
"Please come here."
"Yes."
"Weichen see Concubine Wanniang."
"Lord Zhao, I came to you, I guess you already know what you're going to do."
"Niangniang is for the prince's business."
"Yes, the crown prince has been grounded and can't come out, and he sees that other princes are going to gain power."
"What do you want to do?"
"As a close confidant of the crown prince, you are a person in the same boat, and you have to do your best for the prince."
"Rest assured, the minister should do his best."
"Yes, that's very good."
She walked into Zhao Yin's side and whispered, "You have to contact other officials as soon as possible to jointly sign a petition and ask the emperor to order the crown prince to be released." ”
"The ministers will do it, but what if the emperor doesn't listen?"
"You are in charge of the joint performance of the previous dynasty, and I will help you in the harem."
"The minister should do what the mother tells me."
"It's not too early, you can go back."
"Wechen retired."
"Mother, let's go back."
"What about the emperor?"
"It's estimated that you're still in the Qianqing Palace."
"Let people cook a bowl of soup to remove the fire."
"Yes, sissy."
Concubine Wan came to the Qianqing Palace with the soup, and the princess Gao was taking a nap at the door, Concubine Wan coughed when she saw this, and the princess was frightened: "Concubine Wan is here, and the emperor is reviewing the folds inside." ”
"My father-in-law went to report it, and he said that I brought soup."
"Niangniang, wait a minute, the slave will go."
After a while, Grandpa Gao came out: "The Emperor will let you in."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Concubine Wan walked inside and knelt on the ground and saluted: "The emperor is auspicious." ”
"Aifei, hurry up."
"Your Majesty."
"The emperor seems to be a little clearer."
"Recently, there have been a lot of excerpts."
"The emperor is worried about state affairs, and the concubines can't share the emperor's worries, which is really ashamed."
"Concubine Ai takes good care of her body."
"Thank you for your love."
"Is the emperor still angry with Lin'er?"
"Ai Concubine, Lin'er's thing is indeed ridiculous."
"The emperor Lin'er is wrong, but he already knows that he is wrong, please ask the emperor to give him a chance to correct it."
"Concubine Ai, you know that the ministers in the court are talking about this, and if I don't stand up, there will be people who will commit it."
"Ke Lin'er has also been confined for a long time, and it is time to come out."
"Don't rush it any longer."
When Concubine Wan heard this, she was about to hurry up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty."
The emperor helped Concubine Wan up: "Don't ask for another concubine, I have my own decision on this matter." ”
"But Lin'er and I haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Where is Grandpa Gao?"
"The emperor's servant is here."
"Take Concubine Wan to see the prince."
"Yes, mother, please."
Gao Gonggong came to the prince's palace with the emperor's token, and the guards at the gate were the emperor's royal guards, and they only listened to the emperor.
"Father-in-law Gao."
Gao Gonggong held up the token: "The emperor asked Concubine Wan to meet the prince." ”
The guard opened the door: "Niangniang, please." ”
Concubine Wan walked in, and the prince sat in the room drinking, accompanied by a few girls. Concubine Wan glanced at Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui took the girl ring inside and closed the door.
"Mother, you're here."
"Lin'er, why are you drinking in broad daylight like this?"
"Mother, what about my father?"
"Your father is in the Qianqing Palace."
"Why didn't he come to see me, he didn't come once for so long."
"Lin'er, your father is so tired."
The prince smiled and said, "He doesn't want to see me." ”
"No nonsense."
The crown prince Tang Lin said angrily: "I did something wrong, is he going to take my position?"
Concubine Wan stepped forward and took Tang Lin's hand and said, "My Lin'er, don't talk nonsense, the wall has ears, do you want us to die without a place to be buried?" ”
"Your father said that he would come out after a little wait."
"How long have I waited?"
"Lin'er Niang, please don't give up on yourself, you are the prince."
Tang Lin took another sip of wine from the wine glass: "For me as the prince, no one can do anything to me." ”
"Lin'er, I have asked Lord Zhao to jointly force the emperor to let you out, it depends on the situation of the court tomorrow."
"Mother, the child is useless."
"How can a mother watch her child suffer and ignore it."
"Mother, I'll cheer up, and I'll do a big job when I go out."
"Lin'er, I should go back, Grandpa Gao is still outside."
"The mother concubine should take good care of her body, and I will take care of myself."
"Well, Lin'er, I'm leaving."
When Concubine Wan returned to the palace, she lay on the table and cried bitterly, and the girl knelt on the ground: "Don't cry, Niangniang, if you let the emperor know what about us." ”
"Xi'er, the emperor doesn't care about us anymore."
"Niangniang, the emperor is also for the prince, if you don't punish it, it will be difficult to convince the public."
But how could he bear it? Several princes are eyeing each other, and they are all looking forward to my Lin'er's hard time. ”
"As long as the emperor doesn't speak, who dares to be presumptuous. As long as Niangniang grasps the emperor's heart, are you still afraid that the crown prince's position will not be guaranteed? ”
Concubine Wan wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "What should I do now?"
"Niangniang wants to do something that touches the emperor, so that he will remember it deeply, and feel guilty about you."
"Easier said than done."
"Mother, think about it."
"You're right, I can't let anyone see the joke."
"Niangniang, drink some bird's nest, you haven't eaten well today." Concubine Wan waved her hand to indicate that she would not eat.
"It's important, mother."
"Let's put the bird's nest there first, I'll eat it later."
"The slave and maid are gone."
Concubine Wan sat on the chair and looked at the Yonghe Palace where she lived, since she entered the palace, her grace has continued, although a wave of newcomers sent to the palace, but the emperor still remembers her, her palace is also magnificent, and the palace also gives her face. Since Prince Lin'er's accident, everyone's face has changed. Seeing her, she didn't have the same deference as before, and even the people under the Internal Affairs Office dared to be perfunctory to her, these palace people who praised her high and stepped on low. Those concubines who didn't dare to be rampant before dared to blatantly seduce the emperor. The more Concubine Wan thought about it, the more angry she became, she couldn't go on like this, and if something happened to Lin'er, her days in the palace would come to an end. Thinking of this, Concubine Wan suddenly sat down and picked up the bowl of bird's nest and ate it, she had to take care of her body before she could figure out a way to deal with those sluts. She ate a bowl and called Xi'er: "Another bowl." ”
Seeing this, Xi'er said happily: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
"Today's bird's nest is an ordinary bird's nest."
Xi'er knelt on the ground: "Niang Niang forgives her sins, the Internal Affairs Office said that the blood swallow is gone." ”
Concubine Wan put down the bowl after eating: "Hmph, these people dare to bully me when they see that I am in trouble now."
"Mother, we'll be fine."
"You're right, we'll be fine."
