Sure enough, Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "This palace has said to the emperor many times, but the emperor doesn't believe it, and this palace has even told the emperor about the skull opening of the prince of Chu during the Taizu period, but the emperor still doesn't believe it." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, she laughed instead, and she said: "You can't blame the emperor, princess, how many people can believe this matter?" You think, I've been with you for so long, and when you tell me, I still think it's incredible, let alone the emperor. ”

"This palace also thinks so, so this palace has now decided not to continue to talk to the emperor about this matter."

"It's good that the eldest princess doesn't tell the emperor about this matter, so as not to affect your affection, and the eldest princess doesn't necessarily have to go through the emperor if she wants to solve this matter."

Scattered laughed as he spoke.

Jian Huaizhen glanced at her and said, "You ghost girl is getting bigger and bigger!" ”

"That's also the connivance of the eldest princess!"

Scatter continued to giggle and laugh, Jian Huaizhen felt very comforted to see that Scatter was now living more and more happily in the palace.

When she was first rescued back to the palace, although she was loyal to Jian Huaizhen, she was always a picture of no one to approach, although Jian Huaizhen knew that she was doing her best for herself, but Jian Huaizhen also knew that she was not happy in her heart.

Now seeing that Scatter has been completely integrated into the life of this court, Jian Huaizhen's heart has been relaxed.

Seeing Jian Huaizhen's thoughtful expression, he asked her, "Eldest Princess, you actually have a way in your heart to solve this matter, right?" ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled helplessly and said, "I just can't think of a way, so what, can I watch Wan Zhen'er perform witchcraft in this harem to confuse the emperor?" Moreover, Brother Jiang once said that if this witchcraft is not broken in the palace quickly, then the emperor will definitely be killed by Concubine Wan in three years. ”

"Lost her life by Concubine Wan?" As soon as she heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she realized the seriousness of the matter.

She looked at Jian Huaizhen, her eyes burned with anger, and she said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, then do you say that Concubine Wan knows about this matter?" If Concubine Wan knew that she still did this to the emperor, then she would really be punished. ”

Jian Huaizhen's face was covered with a layer of frost, and she said lightly: "It doesn't matter if Wan Zhen'er knows about this matter, whether she knows it or not, she has already participated in this matter, but there is one person who must know, and that is Shi Liqing." ”

Shi Liqing's three words fell into the hearts of the scattered like a hammer, and she sighed and shouted loudly: "The eldest princess, you said this, I remembered it, I always felt that Shi Liqing was weird, I thought there was some kind of scheme, the eldest princess said this but reminded the slave maid, the slave felt that this strange Shi Liqing was in the harem, it must not be as simple as just wanting to help Wan Guifei, and in time Wan Guifei didn't know that the medicine was damaging to the emperor, and she would take the emperor's name after three years, Shi Liqing must also know? ”

Jian Huaizhen hadn't thought of this layer yet, but after mentioning it piecemeal, she suddenly thought of it, and her eyes couldn't help but show a look of horror.

If everything is as it is said, then Shi Liqing has a plan to enter the palace to kill the emperor, this matter is very extraordinary, thinking of this, she decided to invite the queen mother of the two palaces to discuss this matter together.

Although Jian Huaizhen also knew that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was in this harem, the Queen Mother Qian didn't care about anything, and the Queen Mother Zhou was in a state of mind for a while because she punished Wan Zhen'er before and caused Wan Zhen'er to lose her child.

But the Empress Dowager Qian has always cared about the country's social affairs, and the Empress Dowager Zhou has always been concerned about the safety of her son, no matter what, Jian Huaizhen decided to discuss with them before making a decision, so Jian Huaizhen sent Scattered to invite the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

Lingluo also realized the seriousness of the matter, so he personally went to Yongshou Palace and Yanxi Palace to invite the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Empress Dowager Qian, as soon as the Empress Dowager Qian heard that Jian Huaizhen was invited, she immediately rushed over, and the Empress Dowager Zhou originally didn't want to come, she saw that Zeroo said that this matter had something to do with the emperor and the country, so she still came.

After the queen mother of the two palaces came, they sat down separately, and served tea in a scattered manner, and Jian Huaizhen sent away the palace maids and eunuchs around her, leaving only one person alone.

Jian Huaizhen also glanced at Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou, and said, "Today is the three of us gossiping here, and the rest of us should step back first!" ”

Jian Huaizhen meant that he wanted the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Empress Dowager Qian to also send away the eunuchs and palace maids around them.

The queen mother of the two palaces saw that although Jian Huaizhen was talking easily, she secretly wanted to send away her eunuchs and palace maids, and they had already realized that this matter must be extraordinary, so they each sent their palace maids away.

It's just that the Empress Dowager Zhou was indignant and said: "You obviously sent our palace maids and eunuchs away, but there is still a scatter around you, is this obviously not believing us?" ”

Despite this, she suppressed the anger in her heart and did not say it.

Jian Huaizhen waited until everyone was gone, then raised the cup in his hand and took a sip and said, "This is the newly bong Longjing before the rain, how about you taste it?" ”

The dragon well is divided into several grades, the one picked before the Qingming Festival is the dragon well before the rain, and the one picked after the Qingming Festival is the dragon well after the rain, and the dragon well before the rain before the Qingming Festival is divided into different grades, the best of which is the tea leaf that is dried at the tip of the tea leaves, which is the best product in the dragon well before the rain.

And at this moment, Jian Huaizhen Wan'an Palace is drinking this kind of dragon well before the rain, the queen mother of the two palaces took a sip respectively, and the queen mother Qian couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said: "Since Empress Dowager Qian also likes it, then I will let Lingluo send one to Empress Dowager Qian's palace after a while." ”

Empress Dowager Qian smiled slightly and said, "The eldest princess is polite!" ”

And the Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Jian Huaizhen intently, she knew that Jian Huaizhen called herself, it was absolutely impossible for her to taste tea, if it was for such a simple thing as tasting tea, why should she dismiss the eunuchs and palace maids around her?

So she said to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest princess, did you call the two of us here just to have a tea and banquet with us?" ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that Empress Dowager Zhou was so impatient, so she smiled slowly and said, "Of course not." ”

In fact, Jian Huaizhen was also anxious in her heart, but she knew that this matter could not be hasty, she had been thinking about how to talk to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces about this matter, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces could believe it, so she kept delaying time there.

Jian Huaizhen kept groaning, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand and said: "If the eldest princess has nothing else to do, then the mourning family will leave first, the mourning family is really busy in the harem, no more idle than the eldest princess." ”

Empress Dowager Qian saw that Empress Dowager Zhou was disrespectful to Jian Huaizhen, and immediately mentioned it from the side: "Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't visit first, wait first, the eldest princess must have something important to say to us when she asks us to come." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Jian Huaizhen and then glanced at Empress Dowager Qian, and when she stood up, she turned around and wanted to leave despite Empress Dowager Qian's retention.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to leave, but Jian Huaizhen didn't speak, she said on the side: "Empress Dowager Zhou, don't go in such a panic, this matter is related to the emperor's life, if you don't save the emperor, the emperor will definitely be killed within three years." ”

Hearing the scattered words in the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she couldn't help but feel a thunderbolt on a sunny day, she heard Scattered say this, only to feel that her body was calmed, and the whole person shook suddenly, almost falling to the ground.

Ling Luo hurriedly stepped forward to hold her up and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that, Empress Dowager Zhou." ”

Jian Huaizhen rebuked Lingluo and said: "Lingluo, who let you talk nonsense here, you quickly help the Empress Dowager Zhou to sit down,"

"Yes."

Scattered helped the Empress Dowager Zhou to sit on the seat again, and the Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Jian Huaizhen, and stared at Scattered Face for a long time before saying, "What are you masters and servants doing?" What do you say that the emperor has been worried about his life for three years, what is going on? ”

When she said this, her eyes were very arrogant, but she seemed to be quite unbelieving, because the emperor's lifespan was something that Jian Huaizhen could predict as a mortal.

Jian Huaizhen took a sip of tea, and a trace of calmness was added to her eyes, and she said to the queen mother of the two palaces: "Since Ling Luo has shaken out this matter, then the palace might as well explain this matter to the queen mother of the two palaces, in fact, the palace invited the queen mother of the two palaces today for this matter, but this matter is really important, and the palace is just groaning, how to open up to the queen mother of the two palaces." ”

Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou had listened to the scattered words before, and now that they saw Jian Huaizhen so solemn, they both realized that things were definitely not as simple as they imagined.

So Empress Dowager Qian took the lead in saying: "If there is anything that the eldest princess says, don't say that this matter is related to the emperor's comfort and the country's social affairs, it is an ordinary thing, the eldest princess has ordered, how can the mourning family not do it." ”

Jian Huaizhen showed a hint of stability on her face, and she said to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces: "In fact, this matter must be said to be known to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the emperor loved Concubine Wan very much before, and even did not hesitate to turn his face with the Queen Mother Zhou for the sake of Concubine Wan, but in the end, the emperor lost his love for Concubine Wan, but in order to make the Empress Dowager Zhou angry, he made Concubine Wan Kneel in front of the Yonghe Palace for a day and a night. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was really a little angry when she heard Jian Huaizhen bring up the old matter, she asked Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, if you call me today, you just want to talk to the mourning family about this matter, then the mourning family can persuade you not to say it, this matter, the mourning family is not clear in their hearts, why use the eldest princess to remind me." ”

It turned out that Empress Dowager Zhou had always been haunted by the fact that she had caused Wan Zhen'er to lose her child, so she was of course very unhappy when she heard Jian Huaizhen mention this matter again.

Jian Huaizhen said to her slowly and leisurely: "Empress Dowager Zhou, you have to listen to the palace before the next paragraph, this palace does not want to bring up your old matter, but wants to lead to a very important matter through this matter." ”

When Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Jian Huaizhen was serious, she kept silent.

Jian Huaizhen continued: "Through the emperor's completely different attitudes towards Wan Guifei, I don't know what the queen mother of the two palaces has discovered? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was sorry for Wan Zhen'er because she had lost her child before, so she said to Jian Huaizhen: "What's this, it must be that the emperor and Wan Zhen'er are arguing, and the two of them didn't agree before, so the emperor punished her for kneeling in Yonghe Palace for a day and a night, ostensibly to vent her anger to the mourning family, but in fact, maybe the emperor was just angry with Wan Guifei." ”

The reason why Empress Dowager Zhou said this was also to make her feel better, and Empress Dowager Qian more or less agreed with Empress Dowager Zhou's opinion.

Because Empress Dowager Qian often lives in the deep palace and doesn't know much about outside things, she feels that there is no other way to explain why the emperor is so repetitive and abnormal to Concubine Wan.

Jian Huaizhen's face was calm, and he just said lightly: "But the emperor is so capricious about Concubine Wan, he has been favored and neglected several times, doesn't the queen mother of the two palaces think that this matter is strange?" ”

After Jian Huaizhen mentioned this, Empress Dowager Qian thought of it first, she also felt that things were a little unusual, if the emperor and Wan Zhen'er quarreled, and the two quarreled, the emperor was angry with Wan Zhen'er, so it was understandable to punish her.

But as the emperor of the Ninety-Five, why can he often condone Wan Zhen'er to lose his temper with himself? I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, so she nodded and said, "What the eldest princess said is reasonable. ”

And Empress Dowager Zhou heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she also realized that things were not simple, at first she thought that the whole thing was just two people quarreling and bickering, but Jian Huaizhen mentioned this point, which made her feel that the emperor was not a capricious person before, and he would not favor a person after several times.

In her impression, the emperor should be a person who is very dedicated to love, and the son born to him knows it himself.

Empress Dowager Zhou therefore said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, when you say this, the mourning family feels that there is some truth, the so-called son himself knows what kind of person the emperor is, and the mourning family believes that no one knows better than me, in the impression of the mourning family, the emperor and her father are simply carved out of the same mold——。 ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the Empress Dowager Qian, and said with the anger in her heart: "Once the emperor likes a person, it is a lifelong thing, just like the emperor likes the Empress Dowager Qian for a lifetime." ”

When she said these words, she had a lot of resentment, because the former emperor Zhu Qizhen liked the Empress Dowager Qian very much, and after seeing her being plundered to Wara for ten years, she saw that the Empress Dowager Qian was blind in one eye, and one leg was lame, but he was still affectionate to the Empress Dowager Qian, and after his death, Empress Qian was also named the Empress Dowager Qian, so it can be seen that Zhu Qizhen's affection is deep.

And Zhu Jianshen is in the photo paper of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Qizhen are similar people, so he should also have a deep affection for him.

When Jian Huaizhen heard her say this, she laughed, and she said, "Empress Dowager Zhou, what you said is very reasonable, do you remember the death of Empress Wu at the beginning?" The emperor didn't like Empress Wu very much at that time, just because he had a long-term relationship with Empress Wu, and he had a feeling of pity for Empress Wu. This is completely inconsistent with the emperor's character. ”

"Yes, the eldest princess, you said so, the mourning family remembered more things before, at first, the emperor didn't like Wan Zhen'er, but I don't know why one day Zhen'er suddenly came to tell the mourning family that the emperor favored her, and the mourning family had no choice but to let her follow the emperor and become a nobleman, at that time there was no her in the emperor's eyes, why did the emperor like her so much later, and disliked it so much? It's incomprehensible to go back and forth. ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces had fully accepted her statement, so she said with a smile: "Actually, it is not surprising to say this, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces lives in this harem, but there must be something she knows. ”

"What is it?" Empress Dowager Zhou was anxious and asked first.

Jian Huaizhen said on the side: "That is the magic of witchcraft. ”

"Witchcraft!" When the queen mother of the two palaces heard this, their faces changed in an uproar, and the faces of the two of them suddenly turned pale.

Who doesn't know that it is a capital crime to be good at witchcraft in this harem, and witchcraft has always been the most taboo topic in the harem, but Jian Huaizhen said it in front of them, which made them all feel surprised.

"Does this have anything to do with witchcraft?" After all, Empress Dowager Zhou was deaf and clear-sighted, and she had already expected it when she heard Jian Huaizhen's tone.

Jian Huaizhen nodded slowly and said: "That's right, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the witch Gu technique, and the most powerful witch Gu technique is Miao Jiang's descending technique, also known as the head lowering technique, I don't know if the queen mother of the two palaces has heard of it." ”

Empress Dowager Qian was born in a family of military generals, and when she heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she stroked her palms and said: "The eldest princess is right, I have heard this technique of lowering the head before, in the past, my father led troops to fight in Miaojiang, and once subdued the local people, and he said that the magic of witchcraft is terrible. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded slowly, although Empress Dowager Zhou hadn't heard it, but she saw that Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian were both speaking so solemnly, and felt that what they said was the truth, so she asked: "What is this head-lowering technique, is it a kind of witchcraft Gu technique?" ”

"Yes, it is a kind of witchcraft Gu technique, but it is more powerful than witchcraft Gu technique, and there is still a plan for witchcraft to be found, but there is no way to find this trick of lowering the head."

Jian Huaizhen told the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces what she had heard from Ji Qihan and Jiang Shaoheng about the art of witchcraft, and the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces was shocked after hearing it.

They felt that this matter was incredible, there was such a technique in the world, but what Jian Huaizhen said solemnly did not seem to be lying, and they had clearly seen the emperor's situation before, and the emperor really seemed to have fallen into the technique, otherwise how could he love Wan Zhen'er repeatedly.

Empress Dowager Zhou was originally clear about the emperor's crush on Tang Jingran, but she has always been opposed to this matter, and when she heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she knew it in her heart.

Jian Huaizhen sighed, and said with a very depressed expression: "In fact, the emperor has come to this point, and the palace is also duty-bound, the palace knows that the emperor likes shock, and the shocking may not like the emperor, and the emperor and the shocking two people have a very big age gap, so the palace does not plan to let the shocking dye enter the palace, before he told the emperor that the shocking dye is dead, the emperor believes it, and since then he has liked Wan Zhen'er, this matter is really very strange, if it wasn't for me to tell the emperor that the shocking dye is dead, The emperor will not become mentally depressed because of this, so that Wan Zhen'er will have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Jian Huaizhen listened to the ears of the queen mother of the two palaces, and both of them sighed very much, especially the Empress Dowager Zhou, she had always thought that Jian Huaizhen wanted to let Tang Jingzhen enter the palace to bewitch the emperor, but Jian Huaizhen not only did not mean this, but also tried to make Tang Jingran not enter the palace.

On the one hand, what she thinks about is for the emperor's happiness, and on the other hand, it is also for the happiness of Tang Jingran.

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but misunderstand her feelings about Jian Huaizhen, and felt a little uncomfortable, but Jian Huaizhen's face was as usual, and said: "Please ask the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces not to blame this palace for this matter." ”

"How can we blame the eldest princess, this matter is just that the eldest princess thinks about the emperor, but the emperor himself doesn't know it, but now how do we break the witchcraft of Wan Zhen'er?"

Empress Dowager Zhou was the first to ask. Empress Dowager Qian also asked from the side.

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said: "This palace hasn't come up with a very good way for a while, if it really doesn't work, this palace has decided to sneak into the Yonghe Palace and steal the shocking hair out, then Shi Liqing will have no way to do it, and then the emperor's witchcraft will also be puzzled, no matter what, the palace will definitely not watch the emperor live for less than three years because of the witchcraft." ”

When the queen mother of the two palaces heard Jian Huaizhen say this, both of them felt that what Jian Huaizhen said was very reasonable, and no matter what, they must not watch the emperor have something to do.

But Jian Huaizhen is the eldest princess of Tang Tang after all, let her go to Yonghe Palace to steal Tang's dyed hair, if this matter spreads, I am afraid it will damage Jian Huaizhen's reputation.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Zhou first said: "Since you don't want to do this matter of the eldest princess, don't force it, it's better to do this, the mourning family heard it before, saying that the eldest princess you have a golden jade staff, you can beat the unconscious king, beat the traitorous ministers, and you can dispose of the concubines in the harem casually, why don't you use this golden jade staff to end Shi Liqing's life?" Not to mention what Wan Zhen'er is like, then Shi Liqing lived in seclusion in the palace and taught Wan Zhen'er to use witchcraft to confuse the emperor, she must know in her heart that the emperor must not live long if he is caught in witchcraft, she is really ill-intentioned. ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This method doesn't work. ”

"Why?" When Empress Dowager Zhou heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she was quite dissatisfied.
