157, love and gold

She sighed and said: "The so-called life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and I don't want to have any criticism for the crown prince, but I can't bear it if I want to watch him suffer, so I helped him." If you don't believe me, then I can't do anything. Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to cut this matter. ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that Wan Zhen'er was willing to come forward and confess this sin for himself, of course he would not deal with Wan Zhen'er, so he cleared his throat and coughed, and said, "Okay." Now, the dead are gone, and I can't do anything to get back the life of the crown son. Shocked girl, you still don't want to be too sad, Wan Guifei The reason why she did that at that time was also a good intention, she just didn't want to watch Yu Mian suffer. ”

Tang snorted coldly and said, "The emperor will also echo what Concubine Wan said." ”

What she meant was to blame Zhu Jianshen for favoring Wan Zhen'er.

Zhu Jian looked at Tang Jingran fixedly, and said to her very sincerely: "Shocked girl, I am not favoring someone. Concubine Wan has been by my side for so many years, and she has no credit and hard work, don't I believe what she says? Besides, if you want to blame me for this, blame me. If I hadn't wanted to snatch the golden jade scepter from the eldest princess, I wouldn't have asked Concubine Wan to help me come up with an idea, and I wouldn't have exchanged the crown for the golden jade scepter with the eldest princess. After all, it was I who planted the disaster for my own selfishness. ”

Zhu Jianshen said as he couldn't help but burst into tears. His performance surprised Tang Jingran, no matter how he said that he was the king of a country.

Tang Jingran had never seen him like this, and now he was sad to see him die in repentance for Yu Guan, and he felt a little emotional in his heart for a while.

She knew that Zhu Jianshen probably realized that she was wrong at this moment, and even more realized that she shouldn't listen to Wan Zhen'er's advice and do something that people and gods were angry about.

Tang Jingran thought about it, and she felt that no matter what, this matter was never done by him.

She then remembered the injuries on Yu Mian's body and Yu Mian's two broken ribs, so she turned to Wan Zhen'er and said, "Wan Guifei, you said that it was no longer possible for Yu Mian to be seriously injured at that time, so I hope you can tell me who tortured Yu Mian like that." ”

Wan Zhen'er sighed and said: "In fact, it is no wonder that others are talking about this matter, it is all Lin Jian'an. Because Lin Jian'an wanted to make a contribution in front of the emperor, he pretended to pass on the holy decree to let the killer torture Yu Mian Gongzi, and only then did Yu Mian Gongzi torture him like that. The emperor later learned about this and killed Lin Jian'an in a fit of rage. Lin Jian'an is the head of the inner court in our court, and the emperor has made a lot of determination to kill him. The reason why the emperor did this was to avenge Yu Mian, and on the other hand, it was just a matter of his heart for the frightened girl. If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor. ”

Zhu Jianshen didn't say a word on the side, he heard Wan Zhen'er say so many good things for himself, and he appreciated Wan Zhen'er very much in his heart.

Tang sighed in surprise and said, "Okay, I already understand the truth of the matter. Your Majesty, I want to step back first. ”

"Okay, then you can step back first. Hello rest and don't be embarrassed yourself. Zhu Jianshen looked at Tang with pity on his face.

Tang nodded slightly, then turned away.

Zhu Jianshen looked at her figure from afar, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he turned to Wan Zhen'er and said, "Concubine Wan has worked hard for you, and I will remember all the things you did for me." ”

"Your Majesty, why do you say that?" Wan Zhen'er smiled bitterly and said: "It is Zhen'er's blessing to be able to do things for the emperor, and the emperor doesn't have to keep it in mind." If the emperor didn't have any orders, then Zhen'er would also retire first. ”

Just now, Wan Zhen'er admitted the killing of Yu Mian in front of the emperor and Tang Jingran, in fact, the sadness and despair in her heart were surging like a surging torrent, but she couldn't show it in front of anyone, she could only suppress her emotions, so that the emperor and Tang Jingran would have illusions and achieve all kinds of ideas they wanted.

Wan Zhen'er endured the humiliation so much, and her heart felt like a hole was slowly torn by a blunt knife.

Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen hurriedly said, "Okay, Concubine Wan will go back and rest." ”

Wan Guifei agreed, and then turned around.

Gu Leng looked at her figure and couldn't help but gasp.

He felt that with Wan Zhen'er's ruthless character, he might not let himself go like this, he had already seen that Wan Zhen'er had a personal relationship with the crown, so he got rid of Yu Mian for Wan Zhen'er.

He originally thought that no one would know about this matter, who knew that Wan Zhen'er didn't know when he heard that Yu Mian's fatal wound was a dagger scar on his chest, so all the evidence pointed directly to Gu Lengyi.

Gu Lengyi said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Wan has also retired, then the servants will not delay the emperor." ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

Gu Lengyi shrank all over, his teeth chattered with pain, and he ran out tremblingly.

After coming out, he followed Wan Zhen'er and walked a few steps, knelt in front of Wan Zhen'er with a plop, and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niang Niang spare your life, Niang Niang spare your life." ”

Wan Zhen'er gave him a blank look, there was an unfathomable look in her eyes, and she said to him: "Why did you ask me to spare my life, did you do something sorry for me?" ”

Gu Lengyi looked at Wan Zhen'er, and he said: "Niangniang, the reason why Gu Lengyi did this is all for the sake of Niangniang, and I also ask Niangniang to see that Gu Lengyi has served Niangniang for so many years, don't be like me." ”

Wan Zhen'er still sneered and said, "I don't know what Grandpa Gu is talking about, Grandpa Gu, have you done anything to be sorry for this palace?" ”

"Niangniang, in fact, you know, the death of Yu Mian Gongzi-"

Speaking of this, Gu Lengyi looked around, looked around, and then said slowly: "Yu Mian's death, the slave admitted that the slave did it, but the reason why the slave did this is nothing more than not wanting Niangniang to fall in love again, hoping to help Niangniang." If Niangniang does something for Yu Mian Gongzi, then I am afraid that Niangniang will definitely encounter some danger at that time, and the slave really can't bear to see the foundation that Niangniang has worked so hard to build be destroyed, so he privately helped Niangniang make this decision. ”

Wan Zhen'er stood there without saying a word.

Nagu Leng continued to kneel on the ground, his teeth chattered, and said: "Niangniang, the reason why the slave is doing this is really for Niangniang, if Niangniang doesn't believe it, if you want the slave to die, the slave can die in front of Niangniang immediately." ”

Wan Zhen'er saw that Gu Lengyi had repented for so long, and she felt that it was time for her to end this good show.

Although she hated Gu Lengyi in her heart and wanted to deal with Gu Lengyi to avenge Yu Mian, she knew that Gu Lengyi was no longer in her Yonghe Palace, and she placed him next to the emperor by herself, hoping to monitor the emperor's every move.

She knew that if there was any disadvantage to Gu Lengyi at this time, then Gu Lengyi would definitely be able to say something in front of the emperor, so Wan Zhen'er smiled pretending and said, "Okay, Father-in-law Gu, you should get up first." Hongu admits that Hongu is a little angry with you, but Hongu is also fully aware of what you have done for Hongu. Do you know why Bengong stopped the killing of Yu Mian in front of the emperor just now and didn't confess to you? ”

Gu Leng shook his head blankly.

Wan Zhen'er said slowly: "The reason why this palace did this is because I understand that the reason why you killed Yu Mian was because Yu Mian was seriously injured at that time, and he was really in too much pain. And in addition, I know that you are for the palace, lest the palace do something out of the ordinary because of Yu Mian, and then you will never be able to turn over, so how can this palace really blame you. It's just that Bengong is really angry that you didn't make it clear to Bengong that something so big happened. ”

"Mother." Gu Leng Yi said with some pity: "It's not that the slave doesn't want to tell Niangniang, it's just that the slave thinks that if Niangniang knows about this, most of them will be angry with the slave, so the slave doesn't dare to say it." Now that the slave knows that Niangniang doesn't blame me, my heart is steady. ”

"If I really want to blame you, just now I told you that the person who killed Yu Mian in front of Tang Jingran was you, do you think that with Tang Jingran's character, she will let you go so easily?" Wan Zhen'er squinted at him and said.

When he heard Wan Zhen'er's words, he couldn't help but shudder.

He knew that most of what Wan Zhen'er said was true, because he had indeed seen Tang Zhenran's ability.

After Gu Leng pleaded guilty to Wan Zhen'er, he saw that Wan Zhen'er did not pursue him, so his heart relaxed.

He knows that Wan Zhen'er's ability is definitely much deeper than that of ordinary people, and Wan Zhen'er is very deep, if she wants to deal with herself, she may not be able to escape from her clutches even if she has the emperor's backer.

Now that Wan Zhen'er has made it clear that she will not pursue it, then things will be much easier.

He felt that the two reasons given by Wan Zhen'er were also very reasonable, because Wan Zhen'er was an extremely self-conscious person, although she had done some out-of-the-ordinary things for Yu Mian before, but Gu Lengyi knew Wan Zhen'er very well.

He felt that the most important thing in Wan Zhen'er's mind was herself, so Wan Zhen'er felt that she still had use value, so she didn't deal with herself, which was completely expected by him.

Gu Leng agreed, and said sincerely to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, in short, this time Niangniang carried this matter for the slave, so that Tang Jingran would not deal with the slave, and the slave was very grateful." The slave must be full of liver and brains, and is willing to serve the mother and mother. ”

"Okay, okay, why be so polite between you and me, I never treated you as a slave. I regard you and Mama Chen as the most trustworthy people around me, and now this palace has done everything possible to place you next to the emperor, you must help this palace monitor the emperor's every move. If there is anything going on around the emperor, you must tell me as soon as possible, you know? ”

"The minions all know, don't worry, mother." Gu Leng lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to his eyes.

Wan Zhen'er nodded, and she commanded again: "There is one more thing you must also watch for the palace, that is, there is any news between the emperor and Tang Jingran, you have to notify the palace as soon as possible, do you know?" ”

"Qi Yu Niangniang, all the minions have been remembered."

Wan Zhen'er nodded and said, "Okay, there is nothing to command in other palaces." Father-in-law Gu, you have to pay attention to your body, although it is very important to win the emperor's trust, but sometimes you don't have to fight for your life. ”

Wan Zhen'er's words were heard in Gu Lengyi's ears, and Gu Lengyi couldn't agree with it in his heart.

He felt that with the emperor's scheming, if he didn't take the risk, he might never be able to gain the emperor's trust, which is why Lin Jian'an stayed by Zhu Jianshen's side for so long but never got his trust.

But Gu Leng didn't show it on his face, he said to Wan Zhen'er respectfully: "Follow the teachings of Niangniang." ”

Wan Zhen'er nodded and turned to leave.

She felt that the relationship between her and Gu Lengyi had completely recovered from the beginning, in the past, Gu Lengyi had done his best to do things for her, they were in the same boat, but when Gu Lengyi stabbed the dagger in his hand at Yu Mian, everything was completely different.

Even if Gu Lengyi killed Yu Mian for her sake, but Yu Mian was her beloved, she couldn't accept a person who killed her beloved to stay by her side anyway, which was undoubtedly a great blow to her, so she swore that she must avenge Yu Mian.

And after Tang Jingran learned from the confrontation between Wan Zhen'er and Zhu Jianshen and others that Yu Mian did not die in the hands of the emperor, but in the hands of Wan Zhen'er, her face has been very heavy, and her heart is even heavier.

She felt as if she was burdened with a boulder, and she was overwhelmed for a long time.

Although she has always had no good impression of Wan Zhen'er and thinks that Wan Zhen'er is not a good person, when the truth really happened, she still felt very unacceptable.

All this came too suddenly, she had sworn that she wanted to kill the emperor before, but now she suddenly knew that all this was not the emperor's fault, the emperor was at fault, it was also a small mistake, and the person who made the big mistake was Wan Zhen'er.

Not to mention that this idea was instigated by Wan Zhen'er to the emperor, just saying that Wan Zhen'er's dagger took Yu Mian's life, Tang Jingran felt that it was difficult to calm down for a long time in his heart no matter how he thought about it.

Jian Huaizhen happened to walk in at this time, she saw Tang Jingran, and saw that Tang Jingran's expression was a little strange, so she asked from the side: "What happened to Jingran, why did you become so strange today?" ”

Tang was stunned to sit there, she looked at Jian Huaizhen quietly, and asked, "Aunt Princess, I want to ask you something." ”

"Well, if there's anything you say, just say it."

"Aunt Princess, if you knew who Yu Mian died at, would you avenge him?"

Jian Huaizhen was very surprised when he heard Tang Jingran suddenly ask this question again.

She thought for a long time, and said to Tang Jingran: "Jingran, didn't Bengong already tell you the answer before." The answer may not be what you want, but it is indeed what this palace wants to tell you, Yu Mian's death is indeed very sad for you, and it also makes this palace very uncomfortable, but this matter is too widely implicated, and this palace has to consider a lot of problems in terms of social affairs. ”

Because Jian Huaizhen had always thought that Yu Mian had died in the hands of Zhu Jianshen, she would be surprised when she heard Tang Jingran suddenly ask this question.

Because before, she always thought that Tang Jingran had figured it out, but it turned out that Tang Jingran didn't figure it out, of course she didn't know about Tang Jingran's confrontation with Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er and others in the Qianqing Palace just now, and she didn't know that the murderer who killed Yu Mian was not Zhu Jianshen, but Wan Zhen'er.

So when Tang Jingran asked her this question, she gave Tang Jingran such an answer.

Of course, this answer was far from what Tang Jingran wanted, she always thought that Jian Huaizhen might be able to uphold justice for Yu Mian if she knew about this matter, but Jian Huaizhen's answer made her feel very disappointed.

She bowed her head and did not speak for a long time.

Jian Huaizhen only thought that she was too sad, so he stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently, and said: "Shocked, you are a good boy, since some things have passed, don't think about them anymore, why bother with yourself?" ”

Tang nodded in surprise, she looked at Jian Huaizhen, still with that quiet expression, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Aunt Princess, don't worry." Shocking Ran knows what to do, and some things Shocking Stain will definitely take care of well. ”

Jian Huaizhen was relieved at this time, but she didn't know that Tang Jingran already had another plan in her heart.

It turned out that Tang Jingran originally thought that Jian Huaizhen would help her punish Wan Zhen'er, but she didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to have such an attitude, so she felt that if she wanted to avenge Yu Mian at this moment, then she must rely on her own strength to deal with Wan Zhen'er.

There are only two ways she can do now, the first way is to sneak into the Yonghe Palace to assassinate Wan Zhen'er, and when Wan Zhen'er dies, the matter can be over.

But just let Wan Zhen'er die so happily, isn't that too cheap for her.

Tang Jingran's heart suddenly flashed such a thought, this kind of thought was something Tang Jingran had never thought of.

Tang Jingran has been kind-hearted for half of his life, and he will never do anything that disappoints his heart.

Although when she was young, she was also persistent, stubborn, and did things that she regretted, but with the tempering of the past few years, her temperament has converged a lot, but this death of Yu Mian has reminded her of a lot of old things.

Because she is sincere about the crown, she and Yu Mian are a couple, and their love is stronger than gold.

But in the prime of his life, he bloomed and passed away like an orchid.

This kind of affection is not a great blow to Tang Jingran, who likes Yu Mian.

Tang Jingran sat quietly in the room, thinking about it all night, and finally came up with a solution in her heart.

She felt that she would never let Wan Zhen'er have such a good time, let alone let her enjoy the glory and wealth of being a princess in the palace, while Yu Mian was wronged underground.

So by the next day, Tang Jingran still went to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Gu Lengyi was recuperating from his injuries, so there was another eunuch at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.
