Seventy-two, Zhou Immortal Master
"Oh?"
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't believe it very much, but when she heard Wan Zhen'er's words, as if there was really such a thing, she believed it a little, but she still hesitated a little and said: "This matter is not trivial, in this case, you will let Gu Lengyi pass that god operator into the palace, and make a decision after the mourning family personally asks him." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother. The slave maid should do this as soon as possible, lest the longer the time drags on, the greater the damage to the emperor. Wan Zhen'er pretended to be respectful and said.
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then you can do it." What you said is not unreasonable, in short, everything that is unfavorable to the emperor in this harem must be put an end to the mourning family. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "The mourning family is also lacking, you can go down." ”
Wan Zhen'er knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was evicting guests, so she was busy seeing the good things and slipped away with Mama Chen.
After Wan Zhen'er returned to the palace, she sat there silently.
Seeing this, Mama Chen brought a bowl of ginseng tea and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, Fang Cai's performance in Yanxi Palace is very decent, I believe that in this way, the Empress Dowager Zhou will definitely think that Concubine Wu and Long Live Lord are really fateful." At that time, the Queen Mother will definitely drive Concubine Wu out. ”
"Hmph, do you think it's going to be as easy as you say, Mama Chen. Didn't you say that you have been in this palace for a long time, and you are used to seeing strong winds and waves, and nothing can be difficult for you? Just now, Bengong casually told a lie in front of the Queen Mother, and now the Queen Mother asked Bengong to help her find a god operator, where can Bengong find it? ”
When Mama Chen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, she laughed "hehe", she said: "Niangniang, if you want to say that other slaves and maids must not be able to do it, if you want to say that there is really a way for slaves and maids to do this." ”
"What the hell is the solution, you might as well tell me about it." Wan Zhen'er glanced at Mama Chen with strange surprise.
Mama Chen nodded and said, "I don't know if Niangniang still remembers that Empress Dowager Zhou framed Empress Dowager Qian back then?" ”
Of course, Wan Zhen'er remembered that incident was unforgettable for her.
It was because of that incident that she saved Queen Qian's life and won the trust of Queen Qian and Jian Huaizhen.
Looking back on it now, it was still vivid, as if it happened yesterday, how could she not know.
So she nodded.
Mama Chen said, "Since this is the case, it will be much easier. At that time, the slave maid remembered that there was a royal order, which was invited into the palace by the Empress Dowager Qian. That Wang Daoling is said to be a descendant of the Heavenly Master, but in fact he is a charlatan. The slave's thoughts are the same as this matter, I don't know what the mother thinks? ”
Wan Zhen'er heard Mama Chen say this, and immediately understood what she meant.
What she meant was that since the Empress Dowager Zhou was able to persuade the Empress Dowager Qian to invite a charlatan, pretending to be the heir of the Heavenly Master to come to the palace to pray for the emperor, she took the opportunity to frame the Empress Dowager Qian.
Then she Wan Zhen'er can also draw a scoop according to the gourd, invite someone from outside the palace to come in and pretend to be a god operator in the capital, and talk nonsense in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou.
As long as the Empress Dowager Zhou believes it, she will have a chance to frame Concubine Wu.
"The so-called things are man-made. As long as we do it, we will succeed, mother. Mama Chen added.
Wan Zhen'er listened to Mama Chen's words, she felt that the matter was now ready to go, and there was no way to do it except this method.
She still looked at Mama Chen with some embarrassment and asked, "Mama Chen, who will handle this matter?" You can't leave the palace in this palace, are you familiar with the situation outside the palace? ”
Mama Chen immediately shook her head and said, "Slaves and maids are also unfamiliar. But there is one person who can do it. ”
"Are you talking about Gu Lengyi?"
Wan Zhen'er should understand.
Mama Chen immediately replied: "Qi Yu Niangniang, it is Gu Lengyi. Now that Concubine Wu has lost power, Gu Lengyi, as the head of the inner room of Kunning Palace, is not having a good time with Concubine Wu. Now Niangniang is in the limelight for a while, and everyone in the harem knows the majesty of Niangniang, and Gu Lengyi is eager to climb up to Niangniang again. If he is sent out to do this this time, he will definitely be willing to serve his mother loyally, but there is one thing that is indispensable. ”
Wan Zhen'er smiled as brightly as a spring flower, and she said: "As long as Gu Leng is willing to do this, no matter how many taels of silver this palace spends, he will not hesitate to do it." As long as Concubine Wu can be driven out of the palace, then this harem will be the world of this palace, and this palace will see who dares to pass this palace. ”
After speaking, Wan Zhen'er instructed Mama Chen: "Mama Chen, in this case, you can go and get another five hundred taels of silver and send it to Kunning Palace, send it to Gu Lengyi, and order him to go outside the palace immediately and ask someone to pretend to be a god operator." This person should behave naturally, and he must not be seen through by the Empress Dowager Zhou. ”
"Yes. Don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in the slave. ”
After saying that, Mama Chen turned around and went to Kagura.
Can she be unhappy in her heart, because she can receive the silver, she will also be able to take advantage of it.
As long as the silver reaches her hands, she will definitely be able to pass through one layer, and when it is sent to Gu Lengyi's hands, there may only be half of it left.
Mama Chen went to Kunning Palace, found Gu Lengyi and told him Wan Zhen'er's instructions.
Although Gu Lengyi is now the eunuch in the inner chamber of Kunning Palace, with the fall of Concubine Wu, his status in the harem is not as good as before.
In the past, no matter who saw him, he had to respectfully shout "Gu Gonggong". Whoever sees him will be respectful.
But now, the situation is completely different, and the people in the six palaces can't even salute him when they see him, they don't even greet him, let alone be respectful.
This made Gu Lengyi feel very unbalanced in his heart, he thought about the whole thing, and always felt that he was also being used by others as a chess piece in the chess game.
But what can be done, his own people are soft-spoken, and what he says has no effect, the most important thing is that he killed Xiangmei. If this matter is investigated, he will definitely be punished with death.
Instead of this, since you have already boarded the ship of Wan Guiren, it is better to do things for Wan Guiren wholeheartedly.
Therefore, Gu Lengyi happily agreed to Mama Chen's request and did what she told her.
In the final analysis, this matter is also a beautiful difference, not to mention that there is money to earn, Gu Lengyi has always comforted himself like this.
A day after Gu Lengyi left the palace, he quickly brought a liar back from the capital.
The liar looked thirty-eight or nineteen years old, with two beards floating in front of his forehead, and he looked very heroic and temperamental.
When ordinary people saw him, they always thought that he was a fairy wind dao master, but no one would have expected that he was actually a liar.
Gu Lengyi told Mama Chen that this person's name was Zhou Xianshi.
Mama Chen couldn't help but feel strange, where in the world is there a person with this name, so she opened her mouth to ask, asking what the name of the liar was.
The liar said: "Mama Chen doesn't need to ask me what my name is, people who walk the rivers and lakes don't have thousands of names, how can they come out and walk the rivers and lakes." I am now Immortal Master Zhou, the biggest god operator in the capital. ”
His words made Mama Chen's heart flutter when she heard it, and Mama Chen said in her heart: "Yes, it can be seen that this person has experienced strong winds and waves." Since he can fully integrate himself into this role, it is not a bad thing. ”
Therefore, she said, "In this case, you can come with me to see Wan Niangniang." ”
So, Mama Chen brought the liar to Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er was worried about this matter, but suddenly saw that Mama Chen had already brought someone here, and couldn't help but secretly praise Gu Lengyi's fast efficiency in her heart.
After seeing that person, Wan Zhen'er frowned and said, "This person looks like a Taoist who walks the rivers and lakes, but he looks like a god operator." ”
Mama Chen asked disappreciatively: "Noble lady, since you said that he is not like a god operator, what do you think a god operator should be?" ”
Wan Zhen'er couldn't say it, Wan Zhen'er was because she had stayed in the Qianhong Courtyard, and she had seen too many people from three religions and nine streams, and she could almost glimpse at a glance what kind of temperament and identity each person had.
Although the liar in front of him was well disguised, for a woman like Wan Zhen'er who had stayed in the Thousand Red Courtyard, she could still see at a glance that his true identity was not a god operator.
After Mama Chen heard Wan Zhen'er finish speaking, she smiled and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, you have such rich social experience, but the Queen Mother Zhou didn't have it." As long as the slave and maid teach this god operator to say a few words, and when the time comes, how can the Empress Dowager Zhou not believe it. ”
Wan Zhen'er heard Mama Chen say this, but she was relieved, and what Mama Chen said was not unreasonable.
She used to be in the Qinglou, read countless people, and knew what kind of person was what kind of identity. But this Zhou Queen Mother was originally the daughter of a big family, and later entered the palace as a palace concubine, and now she is the queen mother, how can she have such deep social experience, and how can she see that the so-called Zhou Xianshi in front of her is actually a liar.
Therefore, Wan Zhen'er told him so much in his ear.
Zhou Xianshi quickly memorized Wan Zhen'er's words clearly, and he said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, don't worry. I know my life is at stake, and I can't do anything wrong. My father-in-law also promised me that as long as I do this well, my mother will give me endless glory and wealth, and my mother should not lose my word. ”
Wan Zhen'er sneered in her heart, but she was still very friendly on the surface, and she said, "Of course. Now that the immortal master is willing to help us, this palace is grateful. ”
After the two discussed, Wan Zhen'er took the so-called Zhou Immortal Master to meet the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou was waiting for Wan Zhen'er's news in Yanxi Palace, but suddenly heard that Wan Zhen'er was coming with a Taoist leader, so she nodded and said, "In this case, let's pass them all in." ”
Although Empress Dowager Zhou is used to being arrogant on weekdays, she is not confused.
Now that she saw Wan Zhen'er walking in with a person dressed as a Taoist chief, she immediately thought of the fact that she had used the royal order to frame Queen Qian, and she already had some doubts in her heart.
Wan Zhen'er took the Taoist priest to kneel down to the Empress Dowager Zhou to say goodbye.
The Taoist priest immediately knelt down and said: "The grass people knock on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”
Empress Dowager Zhou stroked her sleeves and said coldly, "Get up." Wan Guiren, is this the folk immortal master you found? Is that what you call a god operator? ”
Wan Zhen'er immediately nodded and said: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, this is the first god operator in the capital who is known as Zhou Immortal Master. Before, Mama Chen showed him the birthdays of the emperor and Concubine Wu with her father-in-law, and he said that the birthdays of the two were wrong, and they restrained each other. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it for a while, and didn't continue to ask, she ordered someone to take two birth date eight characters, put them in front of the god operator, and sneered: "Since this Zhou Immortal Master is the first god operator in the capital, he can calculate whether people are mutually reinforcing, and you can calculate these two birth date eight characters to see if you can calculate them for the palace?" ”
It turned out that the Queen Mother of Zhou was afraid that Wan Zhen'er would deceive people, so she used this method to test whether the god operator was true.
After Zhou Xianshi took the two birthday eight characters, he looked at them for a while and immediately said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, these two birthday eight characters were originally mutually restrictive. The owners of these two birthday characters must be mortal enemies, and the two must have been fighting, and they have been fighting for many years and will continue to fight, but I don't know if the grass people are right? If the grass people are wrong, the queen mother will punish them. ”
When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, her face was shocked.
Because of the king's order, she didn't believe in the Taoist Sect's Qihuang technique, but now when she heard what the Immortal Master said this week, she believed it instead.
It turned out that the two birthday characters she gave were not someone else's, but from her and Empress Dowager Qian.
Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Dowager Qian have never been on good terms, and the two of them fought back and forth before Zhu Qizhen was alive.
Although Empress Dowager Qian disdained to fight with Empress Dowager Zhou, Empress Dowager Zhou wishfully fought with Empress Dowager Qian to the death.
So when she heard that Immortal Master Zhou could actually calculate this, she couldn't help but be surprised, and said in a loud voice: "What you said is extremely true. But this time it's right, but it doesn't mean anything. ”
Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was very strange. If Wan Zhen'er had already made this person familiar with the birthdates of her and Empress Dowager Qian, Jian Huaizhen, the emperor and the former emperor in the palace, wouldn't this so-called god operator be easy to deal with.
Thinking of this, she instructed her intimate grandmother a few words, and ordered them to take a random piece of the birthday of the eunuch and the palace maid.
When the grandmother heard this, she agreed to go out.
Not long after, she really brought two birthday eight characters to show the god operator Zhou Xianshi.
Zhou Xianshi took the two birthday characters and looked at them for a while, his face was normal, and he immediately said: "Queen Mother, if what the grass people say is not bad, the owners of these two birthday characters do not have a very close relationship, they are just two people who are ordinary acquaintances." I wonder if the grass people are right this time? ”
When Empress Dowager Zhou heard what Immortal Master Zhou said, she was convinced, and she said, "What Immortal Master said is very right. The immortal master was also surnamed Zhou, right? ”
Zhou Xianshi hurriedly responded: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, you said, the grass people are surnamed Zhou, so others call me Zhou Xianshi." The people in the capital gave me another mixed name, called God Operator, but in fact, everything is just a false name. ”
Empress Dowager Zhou's expression was very gentle, she nodded and said: "The immortal master's calculation is really accurate, and you are very right about the two birthday eight characters I gave you." In this case, the mourning family will believe you when you say it, you said that Concubine Wu will restrain the emperor, what is going on? ”
"Empress Dowager Qi, the noble lady has already told the grass people about this matter, and the grass people know about what is going on in their hearts. Before, Gu Gonggong brought two birthday characters to show the grass people, but the grass people didn't know whose it was. After reading it, the grass people found that it was indeed Concubine Wu's birthday that was the emperor's birthday, and the two of them were originally incompatible. If they insist on being together, one of the two will definitely be injured, and if the grass people are right, the person who is injured will definitely be the emperor. ”
Empress Dowager Zhou was shocked when she heard this, she originally didn't believe in this so-called god operator Zhou Immortal Master, but after two completely accurate tests, she completely believed him.
She heard that Concubine Wu's birthday was to restrain her son, of course she couldn't be willing, and couldn't help but say angrily: "There is such a thing, no wonder since Concubine Wu entered the palace, so many things have happened in the palace. Come on, let's go to Kunning Palace now. Wan Guiren, you first take Zhou Xianshi down to settle down for a good life, and there is a heavy reward under the mourning family. ”
"Yes."
Wan Zhen'er lowered her eyebrows and replied, quietly glanced at Zhou Xianshi, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and smiled slightly, she knew that her goal was about to be achieved now.
Empress Dowager Zhou took people to Kunning Palace to find Concubine Wu, and Wan Zhen'er took Zhou Xianshi down first.
Wan Zhen'er was very curious in her heart, why Zhou Xianshi was able to pass the test of the Queen Mother twice in a row.
After walking out of Yanxi Palace, she couldn't help asking: "Immortal Master Zhou, you said that you are not a fortune teller, but why were you able to calculate the several birthday characters given by the Empress Dowager Zhou completely correctly, and the calculation was not bad?" ”
Immortal Master Zhou laughed and said, "Speaking of this matter, the noble lady probably doesn't know." I have been outside the palace for a long time, and I have been in the folk since I was a child, and I have been in the middle of twenty or thirty years now, and I know very well how people get along with each other and how to observe words and feelings. When I was in the Queen Mother's Yanxi Palace, the Queen Mother gave me two birthday characters at first, and asked me to see if these two birthday characters were compatible. After I read it, I found that one birthday eight characters are about the same age as the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the other birthday eight characters are obviously not the first emperor's, as far as I know, the first emperor is older than the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the other birthday eight characters are only a few years older than the Empress Dowager Zhou. I thought that in this harem, I am afraid that there is only one Empress Dowager Qian who can make Empress Dowager Zhou so concerned, so I guessed the identities of the two. And I know that the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Empress Dowager Qian have never been on good terms, and now it has been known to the world, so I can quickly deduce that the owners of these two birthday characters were not in harmony in the first place. After the Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she immediately believed it. ”
"Not bad." Wan Zhen'er pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother believed it at first, but she soon became suspicious again, and ordered someone to take two new birth dates." Do you know whose two birthday characters they are? ”
"I don't know whose two birthday characters are grass, but before the Empress Dowager Zhou gave me these two birthday characters, she once ordered an old lady to go out, so I thought that this birthday eight characters may be the palace maid or eunuch in the palace, otherwise I wouldn't bother the old lady to go out to find it in person, so I quickly concluded that there is no inextricable relationship between this palace maid and eunuch. Even if there is anything between them, the Queen Mother will not know, so I immediately said that the two of them are just strangers who know each other. I didn't expect to be right this time. ”
Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but gasp when she heard Zhou Xianshi say this.
She thought in her heart: "If the Immortal Master Zhou guesses wrong, how will the Empress Dowager Zhou deal with herself at that time." ”
Despite thinking so, she was still amazed by Immortal Master Zhou's ability to observe the smallest details.
