Chapter 36 Who is willing to be a pawn when there is a chance to be the master of the house?
"If the Duke of Qin is really critically ill, His Royal Highness King Zhou's entry into the East Palace will be a foregone conclusion! But what about us? Gu Qianna waved her hand to make the entourage of both of them retreat into the distance, looked directly into Princess Changping's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "I have greatly offended Cousin Changping, needless to say." And you...... Besides, Shihan relied on the Queen Mother to get to where he is today, but even if the Queen Mother lowered Xingkang's cousin to him, has he ever obeyed the Queen Mother's words over the years? β
Since Shi Shihan's return did not reach the level of satisfying the Empress Dowager Gu, now for the sake of the overall situation, the Empress Dowager not only cares, but even wants to continue to descend Princess Changping, who was raised by herself, to her only son Guo Qingwu - but when the overall situation does not need to be cold, how can Empress Dowager Gu not settle old accounts?!
At that time, Princess Changping will be the wife of the family, even if the Queen Mother lets her go, but the horse is gone, even if she remarries, she will be disgraced in the end! Besides, it's hard to say what kind of person you will marry!
However, it is impossible to make Princess Changping listen to her with Gu Qianna's words, Princess Changping frowned, and said unhappily: "If the third brother is the East Palace, it will be a matter of time, are you deliberately trying to sow discord?" The imperial grandmother raised me once, and I should repay her! β
Gu Qianna sighed: "Sooner or laterβsooner or later, can it be the same?" β
Chang Ping and her are both thoughtful people, so they naturally heard the meaning of her words - after the Empress Dowager Gu took over the power, she would definitely not rest assured that the Guo family was the only one in the Zhenxi Army, but this incident happened early, and Princess Chang Ping married her, not to mention cultivating her own power, I am afraid that she is not even familiar with her husband's family! The Queen Mother wants to get rid of the Guo family, and if she can protect herself, she should thank the Queen Mother for her great kindness!
If it happens late, Princess Changping has saved some money and can help the Queen Mother, whether it is remarriage or the distribution of power in the future, she will finally have the confidence to intervene!
"......" Princess Changping was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "You really don't want to live at this time?" β
Having said that, Gu Qianna knew that she was already tempted: like them, who are both talented and beautiful, have a very high self-esteem and a noble background, and have the opportunity to be the masters of the house, who would want to be just a chess piece that can't help themselves?
To be a chess piece, a bad one is an abandoned piece!
Can you be willing?
"Of course you can't come openly!" Initially persuaded Chang Ping, Gu Qianna secretly breathed a sigh of relief, swept her sideburns, and said in a low voice, "In short, it is good for us to let the situation stalemate!" β
"The Queen Mother hates eating inside and out, the two of us, are you sure to hide it from her?" Chang Ping said in a deep voice, "If it is discovered, then ......"
"How could it be just the two of us?" Gu Qianna sneered, "Although my brother respects my sister-in-law, he doesn't respect him to the point of giving up the position of the future middle palace to the Tang family!" β
The position of the middle palace, why is the Gu family developed? Isn't it just a Queen Mother Gu!
Now that the Empress Dowager Gu is about to become a great-grandmother, can the Gu family not plan to be rich and rich? If there is another queen, how can it be given to the Tang family!
Princess Changping's face softened slightly: "With the support of the Guangyang Palace, this matter can be discussed...... But at this level, it would be a joke if it was not good for the queen to turn over! She is willing to come together with Gu Qianna, firstly, because Gu Wanna is very scheming and can help each other with her; Second, he took a fancy to the power of Guangyang Palace.
Now Gu has put both on the scale...... Princess Changping was even more convinced.
"The only thing to do now is to confirm the extent of Qin Guogong's illness first?" In the middle of summer, although the mountain wind was hunting, Gu Qianna stood in the shade of the flowers and said this to Chang Ping, and she also felt sweaty on her forehead, so she took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped it, and said softly, "If he is fine, then we don't have to worry about it for the time being!" I'm afraid that he is really bad, and the queen will not be able to support it alone......"
As a doomed queen mother, Gu Qianna never thought that she would one day worry about the health of her biggest political opponent - but she didn't know that her thoughts would be explained to Xin Fubing and Zhuang Man by Qiu Yulan: "...... What the Queen Mother's faction can get is not the most important thing for Gu Qianna, the most important thing is what she can get personally! Since this person did what he did last year, how could he not think about himself? β
Zhuang Man asked happily: "So, Gu Qianna will do things for us next?" β
"How is that possible? She's just trying to use our side to keep her future! Xin Fubing answered with a sneer, "Although her future is just the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror!" β
Qiu Lulan pushed the big white who came to his skirt towards Xin Fubing, and then said casually: "What Cousin Xin said is that what Gu Qianna hopes most is that even if we lose, we can last a few days, and it is best to put some pressure on the Queen Mother Gu in the middle, so that the Queen Mother does not dare to change King Zhou's choice of wife...... After all, Tang Xinqiong has the support of Princess Changping, and Gu Qiannu is also protected by Guangyang Palace! There is no obvious defeat on our side, how could Empress Dowager Gu go back on her word and provoke the dissatisfaction of the Guangyang Palace? β
Zhuang Man pouted and said, "She wants to be beautiful!" Rolling his eyes, "Why don't we wait for her to come over to help us, and then poke her and tell the Empress Dowager Gu?" In this way, whether to dispose of her or not......"
"Definitely deal with her!" Xin Fubing didn't dislike the lion cat's rich fur, and happily hugged Dabai, gently stroked its back, and said with disgust in his mouth, "Have you forgotten that Guangyang Wangfu is not a daughter of Gu Jingnu?" Her sister Gu Huanting, the lord of Jing'an, is inferior to her, but she is not unqualified to be Princess Zhou! If Gu Qianna is really not angry, why don't the Gu family also change their daughter to King Zhou? β
The last sentence is a mockery of the Tao family.
"Yes, the Guangyang Mansion started by the Empress Dowager Gu, so I don't dare to offend the Empress Dowager to death!" Qiu Yulan didn't want to divert the topic to the Tao family or Xiao Tao's family, so she just talked about the matter, "Of course, the Queen Mother doesn't want to break up with her mother's family, although Gu Qianna wants to think about herself, she doesn't dare to ask the Queen Mother to catch the exact handle, so as not to be abandoned by the palace!" Let's just say that the rumors after the ground movement last year are also because the earth movement needs a scapegoat, and the two kings of Qi and Yan are the most suitable candidates, Gu Qianna does not pit them, it is estimated that in the end, they still can't escape - this move can barely be regarded as a prelude to the first and then the prelude, rather than killing each other for nothing! β
Zhuang Man asked anxiously: "Does it mean that exposing Gu Qianna is useless for the overall situation?" β
"Nature." Qiu Yulan took the pomegranate brought by Su He and peeled off a corner, and said, "You still don't think too much about the overall situation, now is the time for the elders to strategize, our generation...... It's not time to be in charge at all, it's okay to follow the elders to beat the side drum or something, but it's not us who really wins or loses. β
This is actually a half-truth, after all, the world is unpredictable, maybe a small person can turn things around - however, considering the rarity of this situation, and Zhuang Man's fear of chaos in the world. Son, Qiu Yulan thinks it's better to set up a soy sauce mentality for her. Otherwise, this Cousin Zhuang was too enthusiastic, and it would be a pit to help out.
Hearing her words, Zhuang Man was really disappointed: "Is there really anything we can help?" It's okay to do a little favor! β
"I've got a place I want your help with!" Xin Fubing hurriedly said, "I want to practice calligraphy in the past two days, but I forgot to bring the calligraphy at home." Would you like to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu for a few calligraphy? The latest ...... to be written by the king of Puyang Since the death of the old concubine Qin, the king of Puyang has been sick one after another, and no new handwriting has been circulated for a long time, but as long as he writes, he will definitely be picked by Her Royal Highness the princess first! β
Zhuang Man glared at her: "Won't you find a maid for this matter?" β
"The words of the King of Puyang, especially the latest ones, are hard to find outside a word of gold, can a maid come to it?" Xin Fubing pursed his lips, "I want to go over by myself, but my body is really bad in the past two days, the sun is dizzy, and I am afraid that if I feel unwell on the way there, I won't have to worry about you!" β
Qiu Yulan hurriedly said: "I'll go and ask for it, what do you want?" β
"No, no, sister-in-law, just sit down, I'm just going to Her Royal Highness the princess to rub some other good things." Zhuang Man was already very active, and he refused Xin Fubing before because of bickering, but now when he saw that Qiu Lulan was going, he stood up first, "She hasn't come over for the past two days, and I don't know if she has found anything fun?" β
Seeing this, Qiu Yulan smiled and said, "Don't you just run to take a look?" Do you want to bring us something fun? β
When she left, Xin Fubing picked up Da Bai and put it on the couch, ordered everyone to go out, turned around and pulled Qiu Yulan's sleeve, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, you tell me the truth: second uncle and he...... What is the condition? β
"I'll be able to see things in a few days!" Qiu Yulan knew that she would ask this question when she saw that she deliberately took Zhuang Man, so she said without hesitation, "If you don't believe it, you can wait and see!" β
Xin Fubing's long eyelashes like a feather fan trembled for a moment, pressed his hand on his chest, exhaled a long breath, and then smiled bitterly: "How could I suspect that my sister-in-law lied to me?" β
"To tell you the truth, if my grandfather is really not good, how can I accompany you into the palace?" Qiu Yulan put his hand on her shoulder, walked to the couch with her arms, sat down together, took her hand, and said in his heart, "We have a grudge with the Queen Mother to this point, and we don't have anything to say!" It's just a sentence of life and death! This time, my grandfather's old injury recurred, fortunately, the problem was not very big, but in order to prevent my grandfather's overwork and aggravated his condition, some things may be canceled or conceded a little bit in the future - of course, it is temporary, you must not worry! β
"These are nothing, I'm afraid that the second uncle is really not good, then the Jiang family, a big family, and many in-laws, will be all over!" Xin Fubing said with a pale face, "As long as the second uncle is well, what does it matter if he is temporarily wronged?" β
Hearing her admire Qin Guogong so much, Qiu Yulan was slightly stunned, she always thought that although the core of the queen's party was Qin Guogong, but without Empress Jiang, the queen of the main palace, charging ahead, there was no pretense for Qin Guogong to be a regent - in terms of political qualifications and prestige, there was still a Xue Chang in the court!
Therefore, even if Qin Guogong is gone, Empress Jiang will not be able to control the entire Empress Party, ensuring most of the combat effectiveness and being at a disadvantage, but it will make the Empress Dowager Party helpless in a short period of time...... It should be possible, right? Is it the leader of the Queen's Party on the table?
However, Xin Fubing's tone was that if Qin Guogong fell, the queen's party would be defeated?
"I hope this is just your personal opinion, cousin, if the entire queen party thinks so, even if Qin Guogong can temporarily suppress his illness and get up in a few days this time, and break the 'rumors' of falling ill, these few days alone may shake the heart of the queen party!" Looking at his cousin's worried appearance, Qiu Yulan had a bad premonition......
