Ninety-six, a woman's heart
After all, this deep palace is very small, if it is rejected by the emperor, it is rejected by the entire harem, and rejected by all people.
Therefore, Wan Zhen'er originally wanted to agree to this Shi Liqing, but Mama Chen couldn't stop persuading, so Wan Zhen'er hesitated and said to Shi Liqing: "Since that's the case, I'll go back and think about it." ”
Shi Liqing said slowly: "Well, after all, this matter is very important, Niangniang should go back and think about it carefully." ”
So Wan Zhen'er took Mama Chen back to the main hall, and Mama Chen stepped forward and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, you won't really listen to the words of the Miaojiang woman, and you want to descend for the emperor." ”
Wan Zhen'er said with a wry smile: "What else can I do besides this?" ”
"But I always feel that if you want to put two pearls into the mother's eye sockets, let the mother smile back at the emperor, or put two pearls into the mother's cheeks to make two dimples, this is too much to believe, if the slightest carelessness, the mother's eyes are blind or disfigured, then don't say that it is to get the emperor's favor, the emperor is afraid that he will not look at the mother."
Wan Zhen'er was originally bent on listening to Shi Liqing's words and going to this descending technique, but when she heard Mama Chen say this, she hesitated a little
Mama Chen saw Wan Zhen'er and was willing to listen to her own persuasion, so she said earnestly on the side: "There is one more, Niangniang, she said that the person who descends must only love the emperor alone, but Niangniang will meet a lot of people in this life, who can guarantee that she will only love one person in this life, if Niangniang likes someone else in her heart in the future, when the time comes, this descending technique will backlash, and Niangniang will not die without a place to be buried?" ”
Mama Chen's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, exploding heavily above Wan Zhen'er's head, and when she heard Mama Chen's words, she couldn't help but hesitate in her heart.
That's right, Mama Chen is right, if she Wan Zhen'er only loves one person in this life, it would be nothing, but the person she originally liked was not the emperor, and the person she originally liked was Yu Mian.
The reason why she entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine was nothing more than to be under one person and above ten thousand.
And Shi Liqing's descending technique requires that she must only like the emperor alone in her life, she can't do it at all, if she has any thoughts about the crown in the future, then the descending technique will be backfired, and won't she be the one who will die at that time?
Thinking of this, she felt a panic in her heart, she held Mama Chen's hand, and said to Mama Chen with a panicked face: "Mama Chen, you are right, I didn't expect this, people have seven emotions and six desires, who can guarantee that they will not like anyone in the future?" Although deep in this harem, you can only love the emperor alone, but the world is always unpredictable. ”
"Yes, I think so too, Niangniang, you must think twice." Mama Chen said to Wan Zhen'er on the side.
The reason why Mama Chen cares so much about Wan Zhen'er is because she knows that she and Wan Zhen'er are both prosperous and loss-making, if Wan Zhen'er is really killed by these countless thousands of counter-attacks, then she may not have a good life to live in this harem, so no matter what she does, she is thinking about Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er heard Mama Chen's persuasion, and she immediately thought about it, she looked at Mama Chen deeply, and her face showed an annoyed look again.
She walked aside and said on the chair, and said hatefully: "Is this matter going to stop, this palace has worked hard to get this Shi Liqing to the palace, but has she helped the palace, if the palace wants to continue to get the emperor's favor, what should I do, am I helpless?" ”
The more Wan Zhen'er spoke, the more annoyed she became, she threw up her sleeves and knocked a piece of blue and white porcelain in front of her to the ground, and the porcelain pieces suddenly spilled all over the ground, making a clattering sound.
The little palace maids heard it outside, and stood at the door in fright and didn't dare to come in, Mama Chen stepped forward, pinched her hard and said, "You little hoof, what are you still doing standing at the door, don't you see that Niangniang has broken porcelain here, do you need to clean it up?" ”
The little palace maid walked in, packed up the pieces in a panic, and then walked out in a panic.
Wan Zhen'er looked at the back of the little palace maid, and sighed in her heart, she said to Mama Chen: "There are so many people in this harem, everyone is more red and white, if this palace can't be favored, then waiting for this palace will be a greater ridicule, I have to try my best to get the emperor's favor no matter what." ”
"Niangniang, your idea is right, but as for how to do it, we still have to discuss it from the beginning, I always think that Shi Liqing's descending technique is not feasible."
Wan Zhen'er was silent, sat there, and thought for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she said to Mama Chen, "Mama Chen, didn't you say that? Since this method doesn't work, didn't Shi Liqing say it before, as long as I can get a drop of Tang Jing's blood or a hair of Tang Jing's dye, and then put it in the emperor's wine together, let the emperor drink it, can I get the emperor's favor, although this method can't last long, but as long as Shi Liqing is there, Shi Liqing can always cast this spell for us, I don't know what you think, Mama Chen? ”
When Mama Chen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, she saw that her eyes showed a very hot joy, and knew that she had made up her mind to do this.
In fact, Mama Chen doesn't want Wan Zhen'er to be favored by the emperor, so that she can show off her power in this harem, and she, as her most loyal confidant, can also enjoy some power and glory and wealth in the harem.
Therefore, she said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, this method is more feasible than the previous method, but it's a pity that Tang Jingran is not dead now?" It seems a little unrealistic to dig Tang's grave from under the noses of all the people in the Candle Shadow Shake Red and the Confession Gate, let's send someone out to investigate, what do you think? ”
Wan Zhen'er looked a little disappointed, she also knew that what Mama Chen said was the truth, Candle Shadow Shaking Red and Confession Gate were two very big forces in the rivers and lakes, and they had followed Jian Huaizhen to fight in Wara before.
Jian Huaizhen was originally their founder, how could Jian Huaizhen watch someone dig up the grave of the current person in charge of his own candle shadow and confession?
But although this matter is very difficult to implement, Wan Zhen'er has been completely carried away by the return of favor, she feels that no matter how difficult things are, she must do it, and she must succeed, otherwise, she is really struggling in this harem.
And her appearance is getting older day by day, every day that time passes, for her, she will get old, like this, it won't take a few years, then she will be a goosebump-haired old jade, and the emperor is still a high-spirited young man, how can the emperor like her, so she must take advantage of the fact that she is still rich and charming, and hold the emperor's heart tightly.
As for the future, I can only think about it slowly.
Wan Zhen'er said to Mama Chen: "Mama Chen, you quickly instruct Gu Lengyi to let him find out, where is Tang Zhenran's grave?" ”
"Yes, I'll go and do it for my mother now, let's rest for a while, don't be too upset about these things."
Mama Chen glanced at Wan Zhen'er with some concern, then turned around and walked out.
Although she also hopes that Wan Zhen'er can return to favor, after all, that matter did not fall on her, so she does not have such a strong heart.
And now she looks at Wan Zhen'er as if she is completely in a rage, and she is also very emotional in her heart.
Let's say that Mama Chen found Gu Lengyi again and asked him to find out where the candle shadow shook red and the person in charge of the confession door, Tang was buried.
Na Gu Leng refused to agree, he said: "Mama Chen, you cheated me, you asked me to find that Shi Liqing for you last time, I almost died, this time you want me to inquire about the burial place of Tang Jingran's bones, this is not to harm my life, if the people who are shaken red by the candle shadow and confess know that I will dig the grave of their master, they will not break my body into ten thousand pieces." ”
Mama Chen looked at Gu Lengyi fixedly, and she said to Gu Lengyi word by word: "Gu Gonggong, so far, I can only tell you this, Niangniang now wants to regain her favor, if you don't help Niangniang find out clearly, then Niangniang can break your body into pieces at any time, and you don't have to wait for the confession door and the candle shadow to shake the red person to do it." ”
Gu Lengyi saw Mama Chen's viper-like gaze, and when she heard her cold words, she suddenly shuddered with fright, she looked at Mama Chen and said, "You, you, what do you mean?" ”
Mama Chen's tone remained unchanged at all, she said firmly: "What do I mean, I think you know better than me, if Niangniang is annoyed and angry, it will not only be you who will suffer at that time, but also maybe it will affect me, so Gu Gonggong, now that you have taken the boat of Niangniang, you have to help Niangniang do things no matter what, as for how to do it, that is your business, whether it can be done, that is the result that Niangniang wants, what Niangniang values is only the result, not the process."
Gu Lengyi was covered in cold sweat when he heard this, he knew that no matter what, he had to help Wan Zhen'er complete this matter.
How ruthless Wan Zhen'er is, he knows, if he doesn't do a good job, Wan Zhen'er will definitely not let go of himself so easily.
Therefore, he nodded and said to Mama Chen: "Okay, okay, in that case, I'll run around for my mother, but Mama Chen, you must say more good things about me in front of my mother, I have been for my mother several times, and I almost lost my life." ”
Mama Chen nodded, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said to Gu Lengyi: "Don't worry, what you did for Niangniang, Niangniang remembers everything, and I will say good things for you in front of Niangniang when I go back." ”
Gu Lengyi agreed, and went out of the palace to investigate the burial place of Tang Zhen'er for Wan Zhen'er.
He knew that Tang Jingran lived in Huaiming Garden when he was alive, so he went to check near Huaiming Garden, and he himself was not so bold and did not dare to go to Huaiming Garden, so he bought two people to go to Huaiming Garden to inquire with his subordinates and the little guys.
After three days in a row, the person who bought it came to see Gu Lengyi and told Gu Lengyi that he got it from the gardener of Huaiming Garden, and Tang Jingran was not dead, and now he is living in Huaiming Garden to recuperate.
Gu Lengyi was very surprised to hear the news, so he went to see Mama Chen and Wan Zhen'er, and told Wan Zhen'er what he had heard.
When Wan Zhen'er heard this, her complexion suddenly changed greatly, and at this moment, her heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and she had any taste.
If this Tang Jingran is really dead, there will be more hope in her heart, but now, that Tang Jingran is still alive in this world, then as long as the emperor sees Tang Jingran, the emperor will definitely fall in love with her again, and when the time comes, he will not say that he wants to get the emperor's favor again, but he hopes that it is impossible for the emperor to look at him.
Wan Zhen'er's heart was suddenly very panicked, and she said to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu, is the news you heard confirmed?" Are you sure that Tang Jingran is indeed not dead? But the news of Tang's death was brought back to the palace by the eldest princess herself. ”
"I'm sure Tang Jingran is not dead, the person I sent learned from the gardener of Huaiming Yuan with his own ears, the gardener is not wary of the person I sent, and he doesn't know what his purpose is, so what he said should be true."
"However, why did the eldest princess tell the emperor that Tang was shocked and died? The eldest princess has always been very dedicated to the emperor, why did she watch the emperor sad and not explain the truth to the emperor? ”
When I think about it, it's really incomprehensible.
"Niangniang, what's wrong with this matter, it's actually very simple to say." Mama Chen took a step forward, walked in front of Da Wan Zhen'er, and said in her ear: "Niangniang, don't you know, since Niangniang knows that the emperor is single-minded about Tang Jingran, I believe that the eldest princess naturally knows in her heart, if the eldest princess doesn't want the emperor to have anything wrong with Tang Jingran, if she wants to cut off the emperor's thoughts, there is only one way, that is, to tell the emperor that Tang Jingran is dead." ”
Mama Chen's words, like an empowerment, were heard in Wan Zhen'er's ears, and Wan Zhen'er immediately understood.
She said to Mama Chen: "You mean to say that the eldest princess originally didn't want the emperor and Tang to be together, right?" ”
Mama Chen immediately nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant." ”
Na Gu Leng also said to Wan Zhen'er with a deep groan: "I also think what Mama Chen said is very reasonable, if the eldest princess doesn't want the emperor and Tang Jingran to be together, why would she fake the news of Tang Jingran's death to the emperor, Niangniang, in this way, you can sit back and relax, at least the eldest princess doesn't want the emperor and Tang Jingran to be together, so if Tang Jingran wants to enter the palace and wants to become the emperor's favorite concubine, or if the emperor wants to get this Tang Jingran into the palace, it is impossible." ”
"That's not necessarily, although the eldest princess doesn't agree with the entanglement between the emperor and Tang Jingran now, but in the future, no one can say what will happen in the future, so what we can do is to grasp the present, but..."
Wan Zhen'er's eyes flowed, and she said: "Since this Tang Jingran is not dead, it is not a bad thing, at least the emperor now thinks that Tang Jingran is dead, and we don't have to dig Tang Jingran's grave to think of a way to get Tang Jingran's two drops of blood, when the time comes, as long as these two drops of blood are put into the emperor's wine glass, let the emperor drink the wine, the emperor can be pampered by me again, this method is still feasible." ”
Mama Chen said to Wan Zhen'er worriedly: "Niangniang, this method may not be feasible, you think, how can we have a way to get two drops of blood from Tang Jingran every month, this matter is too unbelievable." ”
"Whether it works or not, I want to try it, there is nothing difficult about this matter, I think I should go and see that Tang Jingran." Wan Zhen'er said.
"What? Niangniang, you want to leave the palace? When Mama Chen and Gu Leng heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
Wan Zhen'er said to them indifferently: "Yes, I want to leave the palace, I want to go out of the palace to see Tang Jingran, you go and help me with this matter, I want to pretend to be an ordinary eunuch, no one can tell this matter, especially not to the ears of the queen mother and the eldest princess of the two palaces, do you know?" ”
"Yes." Mama Chen and Gu Leng saw that Wan Zhen'er was determined, and knew that it would be impossible to persuade her again, so they could only agree.
So, they found the eunuch's clothes and the token for Wan Zhen'er to leave the palace, and Gu Lengyi took this Wan Zhen'er out of the palace, and after Wan Zhen'er left the palace, he bought a sedan chair, and then went straight to Huaiming Garden.
Wan Zhen'er couldn't be sure that Tang Jingran would definitely listen to her persuasion, but she knew that at this moment, she would have to gamble no matter what, if she won the bet, this was also her luck, if she lost the bet, she would not complain, after all, if you don't do everything, you can't know the result, if you do it, or there is one percent hope, but if you don't do it, then there is no hope for it.
Wan Zhen'er thought so in her heart, she felt that now that the matter was now, she had to do her best no matter what.
Wan Zhen'er soon came to the outside of Huaiming Garden, she didn't dare to enter Huaiming Garden, she thought about it, and felt that how to find out Tang Jingran, this was really a very difficult thing.
After Wan Zhen'er left the palace, she had already changed into the clothes of the little eunuch and pretended to be an ordinary woman, she thought about it and remembered the gardener of Huaimingyuan in Gu Lengyi's mouth.
So, she went to the door, and wanted to say that she wanted to see the gardener, but the gardener soon came out, and he was slightly stunned when he saw Wan Zhen'er, because he didn't know who Wan Zhen'er was.
He asked, "Who are you?" You said you knew me, came to me, is there something wrong? ”
Wan Zhen'er said to him: "Although you don't know me, I know you, I am Wang Xiaoer's cousin, and I often hear Wang Xiaoer mention you." ”
That Wang Xiaoer was the person sent by Gu Lengyi to inquire about the news with the gardener before.
When the gardener heard Wan Zhen'er mention Wang Xiaoer's name, he laughed and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are Wang Xiaoer's cousin, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Wan Zhen'er took a service to the gardener and said, "I'm not here to find you, Brother Gardener, I'm here to see your Tang Jingran, Miss Tang, I don't know if you can help me call her out?" ”
"You're looking for Miss Tang, so why don't you just go in and find it, and ask me to pass it on?" The gardener looked at Wan Zhen'er a little strangely, and felt very incredible.
Wan Zhen'er said slowly: "It's not that I don't dare to go in to see Tang Girl, it's just that now her identity and my identity are too different, I'm just a person she saved before, I came to the capital this time, I heard that she was seriously injured, so now I came to see her, she used to be uneven, and she saved my life with chivalry, and I am full of gratitude to her."
Wan Zhen'er said it very sincerely, and the gardener thought it was true after hearing it.
