On the day of the funeral of the old protector of Xu, Gan Peilin, the third watch, packed up his rope and got into the carriage.

The car was halfway there, and was stopped on the street that day, which was particularly lively in Suri.

The person who came didn't say a word, and directly showed the forbidden palace waist card to show his identity.

Chen Rui didn't dare to resist, after all, he was outnumbered, so he could only obediently follow these people and drive the carriage all the way to the palace.

In the carriage, Liulan looked at Gan Peilin with a solemn face.

Gan Peilin expected that the Queen Mother would have such a hand, calm and unwavering. Fortunately, let Yanzi take the first step and go to Xufu to do some on his behalf. With Heiyan secretly protecting, there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Changning Palace was silent, and Gan Peilin's carriage was galloping all the way, and no one stopped him.

Wen Xinlan met her in the inner room that King Huiqing broke into.

The spices in the inner chamber have burned out, but the residual smell is strong. As soon as Gan Peilin smelled it, he knew what this incense was for, and his face was a little serious.

"Invite the prime minister's wife into the palace so early, you should prepare some breakfast." Wen Xinlan coughed lightly.

Bao Que led the people to come in with breakfast.

Each disc is fastened with a delicate lid, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

However, Gan Peilin knew it in his heart, and his face was warm and waveless: "The Queen Mother is too polite." It is an honor for the concubine to enter the palace to meet her, how can she bother the mother to prepare breakfast. It's just that this morning, the concubine was going to give her deceased grandfather a ride, so that she was dressed very plainly, which was not a rule for entering the palace, and asked the Queen Mother to forgive her sins. ”

"It doesn't matter." Wen Xinlan looked at her quietly and asked, "It is said that you have not been very close to your grandfather and grandmother since you were a child. I often went to my grandfather's house. I guess I have a deeper relationship with them, right? ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded gently: "So, the concubine begs the queen mother to let the concubine give her grandfather a ride." After that, I will enter the palace and say hello to you. ”

Gan Peilin bent his knees slightly, lowered his eyebrows, and looked deferential.

But Wen Xinlan didn't eat her: "The mourning family has already prepared breakfast, so the prime minister's wife should choose some to use." ”

She raised her right hand slightly and motioned for the servant to lift the lid.

The three servants opened the lid of the dish at the same time, but the contents on the plate had no intention.

"White silk, daggers, pouring wine?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but smile: "It's nothing else, this wine is useless to the concubine." The Queen Mother should have known it a long time ago. ”

"These aren't for you." Wen Xinlan raised the corners of her lips slightly: "You gave such a generous gift to the mourning family, and the mourning family should repay your favor." These are for your grandmother. I heard that the husband and wife of the protector are deeply in love, and their love for decades is as strong as a wild goose. Is there a truth that is dead and still alive? The mourning family will naturally give your grandmother as a first-class lady and go with the protector. It can be regarded as the lintel of your Xu family. ”

"Poof." Gan Peilin laughed. It was the best joke she'd ever heard.

"What are you laughing at?" Wen Xinlan looked at her unhappily: "Didn't you guess that the mourning family would have such a trick?" ”

"The queen mother's thoughts, the concubine doesn't dare to guess." Gan Peilin smiled slightly, and his eyes revealed a little bright brilliance. "It's like what kind of incense has burned in this inner room, the concubine knows it when she smells it, but she doesn't know why the queen mother wants the concubine to know. This kind of thing should naturally not be leaked in order to maintain the reputation of the Queen Mother's dignity and kindness. ”

"Hmph." Wen Xinlan got up and walked to Gan Peilin and pinched her jaw: "Why did you refuse to surrender to the mourning family from the beginning?" At that time, if you were willing to nod your head and enter the palace and accompany the king, maybe now you are pregnant with a dragon son and become the queen mother. ”

"The concubine has never wanted to be the queen mother." Gan Peilin rolled his eyes: "The honey of A and the arsenic of B are suitable for the Queen Mother, but may not be suitable for concubines." ”

"You don't know how to lift, and death is in vain." Wen Xinlan pinched her jaw hard: "It's a pity, you are Xu Luxuan's daughter." For the sake of you, the mourning family can only take revenge and live up to her kindness. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Xinlan suddenly let go and turned back to her position: "You choose one!" ”

"There's no hurry." Gan Peilin said calmly: "Doesn't the Queen Mother want to know what the relationship between that man and King Huiqing is?" ”

This sentence suddenly made Wen Xinlan's body tremble.

She asked Bao Que to check carefully, but found nothing.

can only kill all the people who witnessed King Huiqing leaving the palace late at night. was unhappy about this matter, but Gan Peilin took the initiative to mention it.

"Tell me about it." Wen Xinlan sat upright and looked at her without squinting.

Gan Peilin smiled slightly and said: "In the early years, King Huiqing was not valued by the first emperor, although he was the respect of the emperor's uncle, he was just a prince who received some silver and lived idlely. It was the Empress Dowager's secret promotion that made him appear in front of the courtiers almost overnight, as a regent prince. So, of course, you don't know what happened before that. In the early years of King Huiqing, he spent a lot of money to win the famous Oiran in the south of the Yangtze River. The woman looks like a fairy and dances gracefully, but the most outstanding ability is needlework embroidery. Her skillful hands, after being good, relied on a silver needle and a strand of silk thread to embroider gold and silver. ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Wen Xinlan glared at her unhappily.

"That woman is the female boss of the most famous embroidery workshop in the imperial city, Qing Niang. The young man last night was the biological flesh and blood of Qingniang and King Huiqing. Gan Peilin also admired himself, and finally remembered such a past.

When Chen Rui was looking for a handsome young man all over the city, the appearance of this man had flashed in her mind.

Sure enough, Bao Que was able to do her job, and after a little temptation, she went.

"How do you know so much?" Wen Xinlan looked at Gan Peilin with a difficult voice.

"The concubine body knows more than that." Gan Peilin raised his chin slightly: "The Queen Mother ordered King Huiqing to secretly hoard food early in the morning, preparing to use the war to trap the city. The purpose of the siege is only to tighten the power of the prime minister's government. It is best to elevate my husband, force him to hand over the real power in his hands, and become a civil official with peace of mind. But if he refuses, it means that he has offended too many people, and they have come into the city to take his life. It's a pity that most of the grain and grass you purchased are hoarded in the hands of King Huiqing, and once you tear your face with him, it will not be good to come back. ”

"You ......" Wen Xinlan didn't expect Gan Peilin to be so keen. It's really a good game, just waiting for the mourning family to be involved. ”

"Not bad." Gan Peilin smiled movingly: "This game seems to be good, but it still lacks a little heat." I didn't expect the Queen Mother to send it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Xinlan was puzzled, and her heart was full of resentment.

"If the queen mother doesn't do this to the concubine, where can the concubine harden her heart and fight you to the end." Gan Peilin said solemnly: "After dawn, the news of your friendship with the son of the former Oiran will spread throughout the imperial city. Even if my grandmother had to be buried, it wouldn't steal the limelight. ”

"You dare!" Wen Xinlan thought of the ballad that spread all over the imperial city, and she was angry: "You have already used this kind of trick, and that ballad is the best proof." ”

"That ballad is really not a concubine's wrist." Gan Peilin said calmly: "It's just that you can use it as a reference." ”

Wen Xinlan glared at her viciously with a pair of eyes: "What do you want to do?" ”

"The concubine just wanted to give her grandfather a ride, and she had already made it clear when she came." Gan Peilin actually knows in his heart, and now all the power in the court is in the hands of the Queen Mother. Even if the Queen Mother is ruined, hundreds of officials can jointly play and ask the Queen Mother to give up her rights. But they don't have the ability to let the infant give the queen mother to death.

Therefore, if the emperor does not pro-govern for a day, the queen mother can be peaceful for a day.

If she doesn't die, she will do things if she has no power. Rather than that, it is better to strike a balance.

Wen Xinlan looked at Gan Peilin with heavy eyes: "What conditions do you want the mourning family to promise you?" ”

"Hand over the biological flesh and blood of Princess Qingning and the first emperor." Gan Peilin said calmly: "Don't use that innocent child as a pawn again." ”

"Impossible." Wen Xinlan refused. "That child is the life of the mourning family. Life, how can it be handed over to others. ”

Gan Peilin guessed that she was reluctant, so he frowned: "Then ask the Queen Mother to secretly replace the two children back, whose country should be who's." ”

"Nope." Wen Xinlan still disagreed: "How could I let the child of that slut in Qingning ascend the throne." Even if she dies, she won't even think about fighting me. ”

"Is the Queen Mother really not afraid of being ruined?" Gan Peilin asked.

"You used such a sinister poisonous trick to frame the mourning family, don't you feel disgusting?" Wen Xinlan asked.

"It's a really bad idea, but it can avoid the least number of casualties." Gan Peilin said faintly: "The concubine has always wanted to know why there are so many generals in the hands of the Queen Mother. can support King Huiqing to become the Prince Regent as quickly as possible. Queen Mother, you didn't agree to any of the conditions of the concubine, so the concubine had no choice but to follow the vine and continue to investigate. There may be an unexpected gain. ”

"......" Wen Xinlan only gasped in her heart: "Okay, the mourning family will reconcile with you." It will not hurt your grandmother's life, but it will also keep Qingning's son safe and sound. It can also evacuate the soldiers and generals who are besieging the city and relieve the crisis of the imperial city. But you also have to promise to mourn the family, at most three years, within three years, you must let Jiang Yu hand over the military power. Otherwise, sooner or later, the mourning family will do something to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Sooner or later, there will be a fierce battle between you and me. The emperor did not grow up, and the officials could remove the right of the mourning family, but they could not take the life of the mourning family. You know this better than the mourners. ”

Gan Peilin is particularly helpless at this point, unless he assassinates her. Otherwise, even if she is not in power, she is still the queen mother.

"Aren't you going to Xu's Mansion yet?" Wen Xinlan didn't want to see her anymore. "Beware of mourners changing their minds."

"The concubine is grateful for the grace of the Queen Mother." Gan Peilin solemnly saluted Wen Xinlan, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. If Jiang Yu had woken up, would he have reconciled with the Queen Mother in such a way?

Or will he directly lead people to attack the Huiqing Palace, kill the Queen Mother's wings first, and then directly force the palace to seize power?

Her way, after all, can only be so tepid. The Queen Mother has two children to escort, and she is really at ease.
