She looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou with some trepidation. Empress Dowager Zhou said word by word: "Is it that Shuntian Wu family, what kind of anger did you suffer, hmph, although she is the queen, what's the big deal about the queen, there is still the queen mother above her, she dares to bully my palace maid, but she can't get along with the mourning family, she doesn't let the mourning family get better, and the mourning family won't let her have a good time." The person chosen by Empress Dowager Qian keeps saying what virtuous and virtuous, virtuous, is this what virtuous does. ”

Wan Zhen'er's heart was put down. She finally figured out what was going on, it turned out that the Empress Dowager Zhou had been dissatisfied, and the Empress Dowager Qian chose the Shuntian Wu clan for the emperor, she thought that Empress Wu had bullied her, so she was extremely angry.

Wan Zhen'er waved her hand, pounced and knelt down for the Empress Dowager Zhou, her voice was complaining, and she cried with tears in her eyes: "Empress Dowager, please don't ask, if you are asking, Zhen'er will have no face to live." ”

"I don't have the face to live, what is so serious," Empress Dowager Zhou was an anxious person, and when she saw that Wan Zhen'er didn't say anything, the more anxious she became. Wan Zhen'er sobbed and told what happened last night.

She cried and said: "The Queen Mother, this is the case, last night you instructed the slave maid to go to the Qianqing Palace to find the crown prince, let the crown prince go to the queen's palace, drink alloy wine with the queen, and the slave and maid went to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor." At that time, the emperor was drinking alcohol, he saw the slave maid, and before the slave could speak, he pulled the slave and maid, and let the slave and maid drink with him, where did the slave dare to say, he told the queen mother's will to the emperor again, who knew that the emperor said that he didn't like the Shuntian Wu family at all, not the queen Wu. Wan Zhen'er said respectfully.

Empress Dowager Zhou sneered and said: "There is no difference between the Shuntian Wu clan and Empress Wu, you continue to talk, what will happen next, is it that the emperor likes the Shangyuan Wang clan." There was a hint of excitement in Empress Dowager Zhou's voice, if the emperor liked the Shangyuan Wang clan in his heart, not the Shuntian Wu clan, it would mean that he had a vision.

Wan Zhen'er cried and cried, shook her head again and again and said: "No, the emperor turned out that the person the emperor liked was no one else, but the female apprentice of the eldest princess, and the head of the candle shadow and confession door on the rivers and lakes - Tang was shocked."

"Tang Jingran, who is Tang Jingran?" Empress Dowager Zhou frowned involuntarily, although she didn't know who Tang Jingran was, but she was always a woman rolling on the rivers and lakes, not to mention that she had something to do with Jian Huaizhen, so she was not necessarily a good woman. Empress Dowager Zhou has lived in the palace for a long time, how to understand the things on the rivers and lakes, she thinks that the women on the rivers and lakes are all uneducated with knives and guns, and they cannot be compared with the women in the royal family.

"The Empress Dowager of Qi, that Tang girl is twenty-six years old this year," is the head of the two major gangs in the capital. At the same time, she is the female apprentice of the eldest princess, she is in charge at the same time, tens of thousands of people from the two major sects, and the power is very huge, Zhen'er doesn't know why the emperor likes Tang and shocks Tang girl. Zhen'er has also seen this Tang girl, but she never thinks she has anything good, Wan Zhen'er said from the bottom of her heart. In Wan Zhen'er's heart, the best is herself, and of course everyone else is not good.

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyebrows frowned even deeper, she slapped the table, and said repeatedly, "Nonsense... Nonsense, if the emperor likes that Queen Wu, it's okay, then Queen Wu is always from a famous family.

But now, he likes a woman in the rivers and lakes with a knife and a gun, how can the mourning family not be cold.

Empress Dowager Zhou said that she remembered that Zhu Jianshen once told her that Jian Huaizhen was in charge of the two major sects, and those two major sects were the Candle Shadow Shake Red and the Confession Gate. In this way, Tang Jingran and Jian Huaizhen are just a raccoon dog. Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhou said hatefully: "No matter how much the emperor likes this Tang shock, the mourning family will definitely not allow her to enter the door," After she said these words, she remembered that there was a crying Wan Zhenjie on the ground.

She turned to ask Wan Zhen'er: "Why are you crying and crying and making trouble, is it because of this incident, do you have any intentions for the emperor?" When Empress Dowager Zhou said these words, there was a little more vigilant look in her eyes.

Wan Zhen'er suddenly lay on the ground and replied very respectfully: "Queen Mother, Zhen'er's thoughts about you, how do you not know, Zhen'er has served you for so long, and you are the only one in your heart, where can you think of others, not to mention that Zhen'er is in her thirties, how can she think about the emperor, it's just-

"Just what's wrong?" Empress Dowager Zhou continued to ask, in fact, Wan Zhen'er's loyalty to her, she still knows, what she said just now was just an unintentional teacher. Wan Zhen'er burst into tears again, and she said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Empress Dowager, yesterday the emperor... The emperor gave Zhen'er to... That kind of thing happened to the emperor and Zhen'er last night," Wan Zhen'er immediately cried again after saying this.

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she only felt furious, and casually gave Wan Zhen'er a slap, knocking Wan Zhen'er far away, and the corners of Wan Zhen'er's mouth suddenly had red blood flowing out. "You actually went to seduce the emperor, it's really bold, don't you want to die," Empress Dowager Zhou pointed at Wan Zhen'er and said like thunder: "Wan Zhen'er lowered her eyebrows, her eyes were full of grievances, she shrunk and said: "Since the Queen Mother doesn't believe in Zhen'er, please stab Zhen'er to death, Zhen'er has no regrets." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou saw that although she was very strong, she seemed to have something else hidden, so she raised her voice and asked: "What the hell is going on, you tell the mourning family to hear it, otherwise the mourning family will definitely not be able to spare you." ”

Last night, when the slave saw the emperor drinking, she kept advising the emperor. Where is the emperor willing to listen, the emperor also asked the slave and maid to drink with him, and the slave and maid did not dare to drink, just between this push and push, the emperor was already drunk. When he was drunk, he took Zhen'er as the Tang girl he liked, and pushed Zhen'er to the ground...... Zhen'er also wanted to resist, but at that time, the emperor was drunk and had infinite strength, how could Zhen'er resist......

When Wan Zhen'er said this, she couldn't cry silently, and the Empress Dowager Zhou understood what was going on, it turned out that her son was not satisfied with the Shangyuan Wang family, nor with the Shuntian Wu family, and even more dissatisfied with the wedding given to him by the emperor. But he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for Tang Jingran to enter the palace. Therefore, he borrowed wine to kill his sorrows on the wedding night, and happened to send Wan Zhen'er to invite her to drink alloy wine with the queen.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little apologetic, she personally helped Wan Zhen'er up from the ground and helped her sit down. The kind words comforted: "Zhen'er is the mourning family blames you, the mourning family is not an unreasonable person, the mourning family apologizes to you." ”

Wan Zhen'er sat on the chair with her body in arrears, and when she heard what the Empress Dowager Zhou said, she immediately rolled off the chair and knelt down for the Empress Dowager Zhou, "Zhen'er doesn't dare, the Empress Dowager is Zhen'er's benefactor, and she always regards Zhen'er as her own person, how dare Zhen'er blame the Empress Dowager, this matter is only about Zhen'er's bad life, and it has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou has always been a person who likes to listen to good words, she saw that Wan Zhen'er defended herself in every word, but she didn't think about herself, and she couldn't help but add a little more to Wan Zhen'er's good feelings. She thought for a while and said, "That's it, Zhen'er, you should treat this incident as if it never happened, and you will still serve well by the side of the mourning family in the future, and no one will dare to bully you." ”

Wan Zhen'er heard Empress Dowager Zhou say this, showing a grateful look on the surface, but in fact, she was saying in her heart: "Hmph, what do you want me to do as if nothing has happened, how is it possible, I have done so many things with all my heart, if nothing has happened, then wouldn't it be in vain for me." The affection on her face suddenly became very hesitant.

Empress Dowager Zhou saw something strange, so she asked, "Zhen'er, do you have anything else?" ”

Wan Zhen'er's eyes were full of tears, and she said to the Empress Dowager Zhou very sincerely: "Empress Dowager, please stab Zhen'er to death, if you don't stab Zhen'er to death, how can you explain to Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess." ”

"Explain to the Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess, what is there to explain this, the emperor is always the emperor, and the emperor favors a palace maid, this is not a big deal," Empress Dowager Zhou said disapprovingly.

Wan Zhen'er's tone was very solemn, she said: "The Queen Mother, that's not what you said, you can forget what day last night was," Wan Zhen'er's words were like a thunderbolt, and they exploded in the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, after Wan Zhen'er mentioned it, she remembered that last night, it was a good day for the emperor and the queen to get married, and the emperor not only went to the queen's bedroom and drank alloy wine with the queen, but spent money with Wan Zhen'er in the Qianqing Palace, and I believe that this matter will soon spread to every corner of the palace, when the time comes, the Empress Dowager Qian and Jian Huaizhen, it must not be so easy to forget it.

Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it, and thought that if she was pursued by Empress Dowager Qian and Jian Huaizhen, Wan Zhen'er would have no face, and she would have no face, maybe Empress Dowager Qian and Jian Huai would think that it was herself and let Shuntian Wu be the queen, and they were dissatisfied, so they deliberately sent Wan Zhen'er to seduce the emperor, but-

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Wan Zhen'er again, and felt that Wan Zhen'er was born and looked good-looking, with thin eyebrows and red phoenix eyes, although she was already in her thirties, she looked very pretty, if she could arrange Wan Zhen'er by the emperor's side, it would be a good thing, she was always her own person. When Empress Dowager Zhou thought of this, she wanted to say what she thought, but she looked at Wan Zhen'er's face and hesitated again, after all, Wan Zhen'er was already thirty-six years old, and the emperor was only eighteen years old, Wan Zhen'er was so old, how could the emperor accept her. What's more, the emperor just accepted her because of his own face, how could he like her, the person the emperor likes now is that Tang shocked.

Wan Zhen'er saw the face of the Empress Dowager Zhou, showing hesitant affection, and she had already guessed what she was thinking, Wan Zhen'er knelt on the ground, washed her face with tears and said: "The Queen Mother, Zhen'er is really not a pity to die, the only thing Zhen'er is not worried about is the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh, why don't you worry about mourning the family," Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Wan Zhen'er a little strangely, not knowing what Wan Zhen'er wanted to say.

Wan Zhen'er calmly and slowly, said what she thought of, she said: "According to Zhen'er's opinion, the emperor now likes Tang and is infatuated with Tang Girl, and has become obsessed with the point of going mad, although there are few people in the rivers and lakes who can enter the palace as concubines, but the emperor is so infatuated with Tang Girl, maybe, the emperor will put his heart sideways and bring Tang Surprise to the palace." Queen Mother, what do you think, that Miss Tang is the female disciple of the eldest princess, the eldest princess is cautious, if the emperor wants to take her into the palace, the eldest princess has no reason to obey, and Queen Qian has always been obedient to the eldest princess, obedient to the person, the eldest princess likes people, how could she not agree. When the time comes, the Empress Dowager Qian, the eldest princess and Tang Jingran, the three of them will unite to deal with the Empress Dowager, your day-

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Wan Zhen'er say this, and she secretly said in her heart: "What Zhen'er said still has some truth, and now Zhu Jianshen listens to the words of the eldest princess and the Empress Dowager Qian, and even better than listening to his own words." If another girl she likes comes in, as the saying goes, if you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, then if Tang is by the emperor's side and blows a pillow wind, how can Zhu Jianshen put his mother in his eyes. ”

Wan Zhen'er's words just spoke to the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhou. Empress Dowager Zhou was hesitant to put Wan Zhen'er by the emperor's side, but after such a layer of concerns, she finally made up her mind and decided to go in person tomorrow.

Soon the sky was bright, and there was no news in the palace that could be hidden, and the news in the palace flew faster than the feet of no birds. On the occasion of Zhu Jianshen's wedding, the matter of pampering Wan Zhen'er in the Qianqing Palace soon spread to every corner of the palace. Including Empress Dowager Qian and Jian Huaizhen already knew about it.

Empress Dowager Qian went soon, Jian Huaizhen Wan'an Palace asked for peace, she wanted to discuss with Jian Huaizhen what to do about this matter, if this matter came out, it would definitely become the laughing stock of the world, and the ministers of the court would definitely be embarrassed by Zhu Jian after knowing it.

When she came to Wan'an Palace, Jian Huaizhen had already finished eating, she expected that Empress Dowager Qian would come to find her, so she was already waiting early in the morning, seeing Empress Dowager Qian, Jian Huaizhen was not surprised at all, she forced a smile and said: "Empress Dowager Qian, please take a seat."

Empress Dowager Qian sat down on the Huanghuali carved chair, and after sitting down, she glanced at Jian Huaizhen worriedly and asked, "I don't know if the eldest princess knows that a major event happened in the palace yesterday."

Jian Huaizhen saw the subtlety of Queen Qian's question, thinking that he still didn't know about it, for fear of stimulating himself, so he said: "I already know, that is, the emperor did not go to the queen's bedroom on the wedding night, but pampered Wan Zhen'er in the Qianqing Palace." ”

It is this matter that Empress Dowager Qian said without worrying that the emperor has always been a very wise monarch and very sensible. I don't know why, in this matter, he would go so far. ”

Jian Huaizhen has always felt good about Wan Zhen'er, not to mention that she thinks that Wan Zhen'er is already in her thirties, and Zhu Jianshen is only eighteen years old.

Jian Huaizhen thought of this, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Empress Dowager Qian. Empress Dowager Qian was also staring at her, the two of them glanced at each other, and their thoughts were already clear to each other, and their thoughts were the same, they both thought that this matter was related to Empress Dowager Zhou. Presumably the Empress Dowager Zhou was dissatisfied, Empress Wu was canonized as the queen, and the Shangyuan Wang clan was just a concubine, so she specially ordered Wan Zhen'er to sabotage this matter, but there is one point, it doesn't make sense, if the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to find someone to sabotage this matter, why just go to Wan Zhen'er, Wan Zhen'er is already such an old person, does the Empress Dowager Zhou have other plans.

Empress Dowager Qian glanced at Jian Huaizhen and asked her opinion: "Princess, what do you say about this matter?" ”

Jian Huaizhen knew that this was not the time to pursue responsibility, nor was it the time to investigate who was behind the scenes. At this moment, the most important thing to do is to think of a way to quickly calm down this matter, calm the discussion of the people of the world and the court, and the anger of the ministers of the court. Thinking of this, Jian Huaizhen asked Empress Dowager Qian: "Empress Dowager Qian, you came to me early in the morning to discuss, what news is there from Empress Dowager Zhou's side." ”

Empress Dowager Qian shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Jian Huaizhen said "um", nodded and said: "This matter is so important, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Zhou not to know, we might as well not do anything first, wait and see the movement of Yanxi Palace, there is any news from Yanxi Palace, we just act when we see the opportunity."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a eunuch from Yanxi Palace came, saying that they were following the will of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and asked Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian to deal with Wan Zhen'er together, and the two of them glanced at each other, and then followed the eunuch out.

Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian pressed and just walked to the gate of Yanxi Palace. Empress Dowager Zhou had already greeted her in person, and she was followed by a person, and that person was Wan Zhen'er. Wan Zhen'er's eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were as big as peaches, obviously crying.

Empress Dowager Zhou personally welcomed Jian Huaizhen and Queen Qian into the Yanxi Palace, and the three of them sat down. Only then did she say: "Presumably the matter of the emperor and Zhen'er, the Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess, have already heard about it, right?" ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou went straight in, and he did not hide it and said: "Indeed, there are no secrets in this palace, I don't know what the Empress Dowager Zhou wants?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Jian Huaizhen was in trouble, so she replied: "This matter is also angry to think about, Zhen'er, this girl, this palace has cultivated her for so many days, I didn't expect her to seduce the emperor, it's too much." "In the opinion of the mourning family, it is better to beat Zhen'er to death with a stick."

While the Empress Dowager Zhou was speaking, Wan Zhen'er had already knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager of the two palaces and Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen gritted her teeth when she watched Empress Dowager Zhou speak, but there was a cunning look in her eyes, knowing that what she said was just a prevarication, and she didn't want to do it in her heart. Jian Huaizhen looked at Wan Zhen'er who was kneeling on the ground, only to see Wan Zhen'er with tears flowing down her eyes, the whole person was very haggard, and overnight, she seemed to be a lot older, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

Jian Huaizhen originally had a very good impression of this Wan Zhen'er. At first, it was Wan Zhen'er, who would rather disobey the orders of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and was rescued, and the Empress Dowager Qian, who was still Queen Qian at the time. Later, Jian Huaizhen was afraid that Wan Zhen'er would be reproached by the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she wanted to transfer her to the side of the Empress Dowager Qian, but Wan Zhen'er would rather die than accompany the Empress Dowager Zhou to suffer in the cold palace. It can be seen that this is a person with affection and righteousness.
