Jian Huaizhen always felt that this matter would not be so simple. She thought for a while, then turned to ask, "Empress Dowager Qian, I don't know what you think?" ”

Empress Dowager Qian looked at Wan Zhen'er and then at Empress Dowager Zhou, and always felt that this matter was very tricky, and her position in this matter was very embarrassing. Therefore, she said to Jian Huaizhen very sincerely: "The mourning family wishes for everything, and the eldest princess is the first to look forward." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard her say this, he turned to ask the Empress Dowager Zhou, "What does the Empress Dowager Zhou mean, is it really going to beat Wan Zhen'er to death?" In this case, the main palace does not stop it. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou thought that Jian Huaizhen would dissuade her. Unexpectedly, she quickly obeyed her will. Her obedience made her a little, not knowing where to go and how to answer. ”

She was hesitating to answer. Jian Huaizhen still looked at Wan Zhen'er, and turned to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Wan Zhen'er has served the Empress Dowager Zhou for so long, isn't the Empress Dowager Zhou reluctant?" ”

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she felt that she couldn't save face when she saw an old face. She said with a negative look in her eyes: "The mourning family has always had clear grievances, so how can they be reluctant." ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't have to be angry, who is right and wrong in this matter, it has not been verified yet, it is better to let this palace take Wan Zhen'er back, interrogate her in a good voice, and then give an explanation to the Queen Mother of the two palaces, how to punish Wan Zhen'er, how about we discuss it then?" ”

Empress Dowager Qian had long felt that she was very embarrassed in the middle of this matter, and she did not interfere, for fear of causing more suspicion between her and Empress Dowager Zhou.

And the Empress Dowager Zhou, thinking that this matter, everyone thought that she was instructing Wan Zhen'er. Seeing that Jian Huaizhen was willing to take things down, he was also happy. Then he said, "In that case, follow the orders of the eldest princess." ”

So, Jian Huaizhen took Wan Zhen'er back to Wan'an Palace. After returning to Wan'an Palace, Jian Huaizhen said to Lingluo: "Lingluo, you go get a wet towel and compress Wan Zhen'er's eyes." ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly fetched a wet towel and sent it to Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly knelt down, and said with sincere fear: "Zhen'er thanks the eldest princess for her great kindness. ”

Jian Huaizhen waved his hand, and said with a majestic look in his eyes: "That's it, Wan Zhen'er, this palace brought you today, this Wan'an Palace wants to save your life." Because before this palace thought of you, he had saved the emperor and the Empress Dowager Qian. I won't punish you severely, but what the hell is going on, you have to make it clear to this palace, if not, this palace will not be able to protect you. ”

Wan Zhen'er deliberately made a frightened look, she leaned on the ground, she didn't dare to come out, and said respectfully: "The eldest princess, if you have anything to say, please ask." ”

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while and asked, "Why did you go to the Qianqing Palace to visit the emperor, so that you had a one-night affair with the emperor." ”

Wan Zhen'er was very hesitant, she thought about it for a long time, and her eyes suddenly became calm. said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, if you really want to kill Zhen'er, please stab Zhen'er to death, the slave has no complaints." ”

When Jian Huaizhen saw her showing this appearance, she knew nine times out of ten in her heart, and felt that most of this matter was instructed by Zhou Guiren to do it. But Wan Zhen'er didn't plan to betray Zhou Guiren, and wanted to help Zhou Guiren cover up, so she took the matter on herself. ”

Jian Huaizhen looked around at no one, and turned to Wan Zhen'er and said: "Wan Zhen'er, what kind of trouble do you have, you tell this palace, this palace is a person who is full of words, since you promised you that you will not pursue the person who instructed you, you will definitely not pursue it." ”

Wan Zhen'er saw Jian Huaizhen talking so seriously, so she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The eldest princess of the Emperor Qiqi is indeed the Empress Dowager Zhou, who ordered the slaves and maids to visit the emperor. ”

"Oh, the Empress Dowager Zhou ordered you to visit the emperor, did she still order you to seduce the emperor?" Jian Huaizhen's tone suddenly became stern.

Wan Zhen'er trembled suddenly, her eyes became very dazed, and she shook her head at Jian Huaizhen and said: "The eldest princess, the slave and maid don't know what's going on, at that time, Zhou Guiren gave the slave and maid a pot of wine, and said to the slave and maid: "The emperor didn't go to drink wine with the queen, and he was alone in the Qianqing Palace, and now it's cold and cold, let the slave and maid send a pot of wine to the emperor to warm up." and instructed the slave and maid to look at the emperor and drink the wine before leaving, and the slave and maid did as Zhou Guiren instructed. ”

"And then?" Jian Huaizhen probably knew the whole thing in his heart. Sure enough, Wan Zhen'er said unhurriedly: "After the slave maid arrived at the Qianqing Palace, she saw that the emperor looked very depressed, and seemed not to be happy about the big wedding, but worried about the big wedding, so the slave and maid persuaded the emperor a few words, and took the warm-up wine given by the Empress Dowager Zhou to the emperor, and let the emperor finish the wine, and the slave and maid left." Who knows, after the emperor drank the warm-up wine, his temperament suddenly changed greatly, he rushed forward and pulled the slave's clothes, and then tore the slave's clothes - the next thing, the eldest princess already knew. The slave maid did not resist at that time, but at that time, the emperor was like a crazy male teacher, with infinite strength. No matter how much the slave and maid struggle, they can't struggle. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he nodded slightly. She said in her heart: "In this way, this matter has nothing to do with Wan Zhen'er, it must be the Empress Dowager Zhou, seeing that the Shuntian Wu family is the queen, she is not angry." So he was using such a strategy, which made Empress Dowager Qian's face ugly. It's just that what she did was too excessive, even the people around her could be used, even her own son could be used, so she won back a bit of face for herself, and the more Jian Huaizhen thought about it, the more angry she became. ”

Wan Zhen'er knelt on the ground, crying and pleading with Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, the slave knows that you have a handle in your hand, and you can beat the princess on the top and the ministers on the bottom, and you can scold the Jin Yuzhang of the concubines of the six palaces, but please don't blame the Empress Dowager Zhou, the slave and maid think about this matter, the Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't know what's going on, if you want to blame the slave maid, the slave maid is willing to die for the Empress Dowager Zhou, and die without regrets." ”

What Jian Huaizhen admires most in his life is a person who is loyal and courageous. Seeing Wan Zhen'er so loyal, she couldn't help but feel very comforted in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little more pity. She said to Wan Zhen'er: "Get up, don't kneel on the ground anymore, the ground is cold, it's not good for your body."

Wan Zhen'er saw Jian Huaizhen's face turn clear, and her heart settled down. In fact, all this had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Zhou, everything was just Wan Zhen'er's trick.

Before Wan Zhen'er came to Wan'an Palace, she had already learned what kind of person Jian Huaizhen was. She knew that Jian Huaizhen valued love and righteousness, if she showed her affectionate side in front of her, then Jian Huaizhen would definitely believe in herself and would not doubt herself. Sure enough, a smart person like Jian Huaizhen still suffered a loss in front of the thoughtful Wan Zhen'er.

Jian Huaizhen sat on the sandalwood chair of yellow flowers and plums, and did not speak for a long time. Wan Zhen'er stood aside, and she didn't dare to make a sound. She knew that her fate had now fallen into the hands of Jian Huaizhen, and she had already shown great pity.

Seeing Wan Zhen'er's pitiful appearance, Ling Luo felt unbearable, so he said in Jian Huaizhen's ear: "The eldest princess, it seems that she has nothing to do with Wan Zhen'er at this time, and she is just a victim. If she is going to be punished for this, it is really intolerable. ”

The scattered words set off a ripple in Jian Huaizhen's heart, not many or small. Jian Huaizhen had been framed before, and she also knew what it was like to be framed, especially the person who framed herself, who turned out to be the most trusted person around her. In the past, the most trusted people around Jian Huaizhen were not scattered, but Nangong Jiuzhong and Shangguan Mingfeng. However, the two closest people betrayed her one after the other, especially Nangong Jiuzhong, who once made great contributions to Jian Huaizhen, and Jian Huaizhen regarded her as her own sister, but in the end, she completely broke with Jian Huaizhen for her own power, and finally ended up with a tragic death. Whenever he thought of this, Jian Huaizhen would feel that his heart was pressed like a boulder, and he couldn't breathe. Therefore, when she saw Wan Zhen'er bearing the blame for the Empress Dowager Zhou, she couldn't help but think of Nangong Jiuzhong and Shangguan Mingfeng at the beginning.

Jian Huaizhen thought about it and asked Lingluo: "Lingluo, how should you deal with this matter?" ”

Seeing Jian Huaizhen and her pleasant face, she knew that she also sympathized with Wan Zhen'er in her heart. Then he said kindly: "The eldest princess, since the matter has come to this, it is better to act as if nothing has happened." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled bitterly and glanced at Scatter, sighed and said, "Scatter, you still don't know about the affairs in the palace, do you think that this matter can really be solved like this?" On the night of the wedding, the emperor abandoned the queen and went to pamper a palace maid, this matter came out, not to mention that it was in the harem, it would be regarded as a joke, that is, it would reach the ears of the ministers, and the ministers would not stop there, they would definitely want an explanation, and the Wu family would be fair. ”

Zero Luo was shocked when he heard this, and only then did he know that this matter was deeply involved. If Jian Huaizhen can't handle it well, then the people who will be implicated in this matter will not only be Wan Zhen'er, but countless people.

Scattered looked panicked, and asked Jian Huaizhen: "Imperial Princess, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled." ”

Before Jian Huaizhen could speak, Wan Zhen'er knelt on the ground, and she said in a somewhat disdainful manner: "The eldest princess, please don't blame the Empress Dowager Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Zhou, if you want to blame it, blame it all on the slave and maid, if the ministers and the people of the world want an explanation, please kill the slave and the maid, and explain it to the world and the ministers." When Wan Zhen'er spoke, her hair was messy, and she looked more and more weak.

Jian Huaizhen had already decided that she was the victim, so he asked Zero to help her up and help her to the back room to rest.

Scattered did as he said, helped Wan Zhen'er away, and after a while, he walked back.

Jian Huaizhen asked Ling Luo, "How is Wan Zhen'er?" ”

Ling Luo shook his head, sighed and said: "What can a woman do if she suffers this kind of blow, it is clear that the emperor has failed her first, but she has to attach the notoriety of seducing the emperor, and she will be pointed out by thousands of people in the world, who is in this situation, it may not be better in her heart." ”

Jian Huaizhen laughed and said to Lingluo: "Lingluo, you are not usually a person with such a flood of sympathy, why do you sympathize with Wan Zhen'er so much this time." ”

Scattered was a little embarrassed, glanced at Jian Huaizhen, but teased: "The eldest princess, isn't it also very sympathetic to Wan Zhen'er?" When the slave maid helped Wan Zhen'er to rest, she chatted with her for a few words, and she said a few words to the slave maid, but she didn't know if it was true or not. ”

"Oh, what the hell is it, you might as well say it, maybe these few words can help solve this matter," Jian Huaizhen pondered.

Scattered face became very embarrassed, she hesitated again and again, but still told the truth, after all, she was Jian Huaizhen's confidant, and she never hid anything in front of Jian Huaizhen.

She said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, just now the slave maid sent Wan Zhen'er back to rest, her expression became very bleak, and the slave maid persuaded her to rest well. She said to the slave maid: "The emperor does have another person in his heart, but that person is neither the Shangyuan Wang clan nor the slave maid. The slave bears this notoriety for nothing. I was curious, so I asked her, who is in the emperor's heart? Wan Zhen'er never said anything.

"Did she tell you at the end?"

Zero nodded and said: "I did tell you, the slave maid was also my curious person, she refused to say, and the slave maid asked on the side." Finally, she asked her for a long time, and she said to me, she said Sister Lingluo, you don't know, the person in the emperor's heart, I'm afraid it's a palace maid in another palace, when the emperor was pampering the slave maid, she kept calling her name in her mouth, she kept shouting Shock, shock, the name of the palace maid, it must be called Shock. ”

Jian Huaizhen's face changed greatly when he heard this, and the whole person suddenly sat there, speechless for a long time. Such a change in her has long been expected piecemeal. Therefore, Scatter did not feel too unexpected. She glanced at Jian Huaizhen and asked, "Imperial Princess, I'm afraid you didn't expect it, right?" ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head, his face became quite helpless, and said: "No matter what the palace thinks, I never imagined that the emperor's child, the person he likes in his heart is someone else, but Tang was shocked. It is no wonder that on that day, when choosing the queen for the emperor, the queen mother of the two palaces and the main palace once asked the emperor which one he liked? The emperor finally let the palace decide, it turned out that no matter who he chosen, it didn't mean anything to him, but what he liked in his heart was shocked.

Zero shook his head and said: "It's just that this stunned girl and the emperor - I'm afraid it's too incompatible, not to mention that the stunned girl is now in charge of the candle shadow shaking red and confession, she is a thorough character, the stunned girl is also eight years older than the emperor, and then the emperor likes the stunned girl, and the stunned girl probably won't love the emperor." ”

Jian Huaizhen "sigh", sighed and said, "Scattered, what you said is not unreasonable, I know this child best, she is not a person who likes glory and wealth, she has her own pursuits." According to the palace, Shock Ran will never like the emperor, and in her heart, she only thinks that the emperor is a child. What's more, all along, this palace has had the intention to match Yu Mian and Shock, hoping that the two of them can be together. Now, this palace is also very affectionate when it comes to seeing Shock Ran and Yu Mian.

Listening to Jian Huaizhen like this, he only felt that his heart was sinking. She sighed and said: Bad fate, bad fate, how could things have come like this. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Ling Luo suddenly asked in surprise: "The eldest princess, did the Empress Dowager Zhou know about the incident of shocking the girl?" ”

Jian Huaizhen's face turned pale and said, "I'm afraid I already know that Wan Zhen'er is loyal to the Empress Dowager Zhou, how can she hide anything from her." It's just that if the Queen Mother knows about it, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to the shock. Zero, if you go out of the palace now, notify the shock dye immediately, and let her be careful. ”

Listening to Jian Huaizhen's solemn instructions, he also responded solemnly and went out of the palace.

Jian Huaizhen was in Wan'an Palace, thinking about how to deal with this matter. She knew that if this matter was not handled properly, not only would the ministers oppose it, but also the people in the world would be different, even the Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Dowager Qian would be difficult to appease.

She leaned back in her chair, I don't know how long she thought about it, she fell asleep unconsciously, and when she woke up, she had an extra cloak on her body. It turned out to be the palace maid under her command, and when she saw that she was sleeping so deeply, she didn't dare to wake her up, so she took a fox plush cloak and draped it over her.

Jian Huaizhen still felt a little cold on his body, and he also felt a chill in his heart. She was thinking hard about how to do this matter At this time, she heard the eunuch come in and say, "The queen mother of the two palaces is here hand in hand." ”

"Alas," Jian Huaizhen sighed and said to the eunuch, "Since that's the case, invite them in." She knew about it, and she had to find a way to solve it no matter what, and it was not a way to hide from it.

Not long after, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces walked in. It turned out that the Empress Dowager Zhou saw Jian Huaizhen and took Wan Zhen'er away for a long time, but she was not missing, she was afraid that something would happen, so she wanted to come to Wan'an Palace to ask for someone, and it was not good to come alone, so she invited Empress Dowager Qian and invited her to come to Wan'an Palace to inquire about the progress of the matter.

Empress Dowager Qian has always been very concerned about this matter, after all, Shuntian Wu is the person she recommends, if there are any three longs and two shortcomings, she can't bear this responsibility. So, the queen mother of the two palaces came hand in hand.

Seeing Jian Huaizhen, the queen mothers of the two palaces each saluted and greeted the etiquette of the elders. So, the individual sat down.

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help laughing, and first spoke: "Princess, I don't know how things are handled, can this Wan Zhen'er have a confession?" ”

Jian Huaizhen's expression changed very delicately, she glanced at Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou, and the expression on Empress Dowager Qian's face at this moment was very nervous and anxious. And the expression on Empress Dowager Zhou's face was a little unpredictable.

Jian Huaizhen said: "This palace did ask Zhen'er, but this matter, from the perspective of this palace, I am afraid it has nothing to do with Zhen'er." ”
