"In that case, princess, what are your plans next?" Jiang Shaoheng raised his head and looked at Jian Huaizhen, and said slowly.

Jian Huaizhen smiled bitterly and said: "I can only choose to believe in the emperor, what are the plans next, this should not be done by me, but by the emperor." I want to see what the emperor is going to do next. ”

Hearing her words, everyone nodded, not knowing how to answer for a while.

But if you think about it carefully, what she said seems to make sense, and it is not she who should decide what to do now, but the emperor.

The emperor is in control of the overall situation, Jian Huaizhen has already chosen to believe him, whether he can be satisfactory or not, then it depends on the emperor's actions.

After Lingluo finished resting, Jian Huaizhen told her her thoughts, and she said to Lingluo very clearly: "Lingluo, you have followed me for so many years, you should know my character well. I don't know whether to believe what the emperor said, but no matter what, I choose to believe him, because he has a flesh and blood relationship with me, and he is the heir of this Ming dynasty, and I must be responsible for disciplining him. If he made any mistakes, it was because I didn't teach him well, so you can go back now, you tell Wan Guifei, and say that the palace has forgiven the emperor. What the emperor will do next, it is up to the emperor. ”

"Yes." Scattered said lightly.

She didn't dare to look at Jian Huaizhen, she knew that Jian Huaizhen must have experienced a lot of psychological thoughts when she made this choice, no matter what, the whole thing was indeed Zhu Jianshen who did not do it right, and Jian Huaizhen did it right, it is not surprising that she has such thoughts now.

Zero Luo hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jian Huaizhen, and continued to say to her: "Since this is the case, then Zero Luo will go back and tell the eldest princess Wan Guifei what she thinks, and then tell Wan Guifei to the emperor, as for what the emperor should do, in order to satisfy the eldest princess, Zero Luo will not talk much." has followed the eldest princess for so many years, and the eldest princess must also trust the slave. ”

Jian Huaizhen gently stroked her hair and said, "Of course this palace can trust you, in short, for so long, you have worked hard, if it weren't for you, this palace wouldn't know how to live those sad days in the palace." If you go back, there may be danger, so you must be careful everywhere and be cautious every step of the way. Empress Dowager Zhou may deal with you, no matter what, you must save your life, this is the most important thing. ”

Zero Luo bowed to Jian Huaizhen Yingying, and then said goodbye and returned to the palace, Zero Luo and Jian Huaizhen didn't know that there was an uproar in the palace now.

In Wan Zhen'er's palace, Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting on the Luan seat with an angry face, pointing at Wan Zhen'er below, and said to her hatefully: "Wan Guifei, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid there is nothing in this palace that you don't dare to do, right?" ”

Wan Zhen'er was scared, and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, what are these words?" How dare Zhen'er do something rebellious to make the Queen Mother angry? ”

"You don't dare to do it or dare to do it, no one knows better than you in your heart, and what you have done, you yourself know best. In short, where did Zero go now? You must tell the mourning family immediately, otherwise, the mourning family will definitely not let you go. ”

Wan Zhen'er is such a smart person, when Mrs. Zhou came later, she had already expected that the Empress Dowager Zhou was here to ask about scattered things, and sure enough, when she heard that the Empress Dowager Zhou was aggressive, Wan Zhen'er condensed and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, where she has gone now, I don't know." In short, it was the emperor who ordered the slave and maid to release the scatters, and the slaves and maids released the scatters according to what the emperor said. What happened next had nothing to do with the slave. ”

"You don't have to shirk your responsibilities here, if it weren't for you instigating the emperor, how could the emperor let go of the slave maid? Scattered was originally a chess piece that we used to contain Jian Huaizhen, but now it's okay, you let her go, so the emperor is going to kill her, what should I do? Can you afford it? She pointed at Wan Zhen'er hatefully and said angrily.

Wan Zhen'er saw that she was a little annoyed and angry, so she raised her head, glanced at her, and said, "Queen Mother, Zhen'er is just obeying the emperor's orders." If Niangniang wants to know anything, even if she goes to ask the emperor yes, why bother to embarrass Zhen'er here? ”

Hearing Wan Zhen'er say this, Empress Dowager Zhou was immediately angry, she had hated Wan Zhen'er for a long time, but now she saw Wan Zhen'er disrespecting herself so much, of course, she was even more angry.

Hearing Wan Zhen'er's clever words, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but be very angry, she had a very good opinion about Wan Zhen'er, and Wan Zhen'er quibbled in front of her, which made her feel more and more that this person was dishonest.

She glanced at Wan Zhen'er very angrily, and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Concubine Wan, you don't have the emperor's favor, you can be powerful." Don't forget, the mourning family is the emperor's biological mother, and even the emperor has to give face to the mourning family, and you dare to go against the mourning family, do you have the heart to get along with the mourning family, you know it in your own heart. ”

Wan Zhen'er is actually very nervous now, she knows what kind of person the Empress Dowager Zhou is, if something doesn't go her way, maybe she will get rid of herself immediately, if the Empress Dowager Zhou really wants to risk falling out with the emperor to dispose of herself, I'm afraid the emperor is helpless, it's a big deal to quarrel with the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the matter will not be resolved satisfactorily.

But in this case, she is not willing to compromise and go to talk to the Empress Dowager Zhou, if this is the case, the Empress Dowager Zhou turned her head and said to the emperor, and the emperor thinks that she is a very unassertive, or a person who confuses the public, in short, the current situation is very critical.

She secretly glanced at Mama Chen, Mama Chen understood, and quietly walked out, Mama Chen was planning to move the rescue soldiers and move the emperor over.

Who knew that Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes were sharp, and she immediately pointed at Mama Chen and said to Qingsha: "Qingsha, stop her, don't let this old pious woman go out." ”

"Yes." Qingsha responded crisply, so she stepped forward to stop Mama Chen, and said to Mama Chen, "Where are you going?" Mama Chen. ”

Mama Chen was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Qingsha stopped Mama Chen, and became more and more unscrupulous, she said to Wan Zhen'er: "Wan Guifei, what you do, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know anything about it, the mourning family just thinks about the emperor's face and doesn't want to worry about you." But you have been doing so many things that disappointed the mourning family, how do you say the mourning family should punish you? ”

Speaking of this, she glanced Wan Zhen'er up and down, and said to Qingsha: "Wan Guifei, the devil confuses the public, and deliberately deceives the mourning family, you first slap her for the mourning family." ”

"Yes." Qingsha agreed, stepped forward and raised her hand, and gave Wan Zhen'er a slap casually.

Wan Zhen'er has always been an imperial concubine, although she has always been unable to get Zhu Jianshen's most favor, but Zhu Jianshen also relies on her for everything, and now she was casually slapped by a palace maid of the Empress Dowager Zhou, how can she not be angry?

She hesitated for a long time, and then as if she had made up her mind, she stood up suddenly, pointed at the Empress Dowager Zhou and said, "Empress Dowager, that's enough, I respect you as the Empress Dowager, but how can you do this to me?" Don't think I, Wan Zhen'er, am a bully. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that the mourners are deliberately bullying you? Wan Guifei, are you not taking the mourning family more and more seriously, when the mourning family is here, you actually said such a rebellious thing, and you don't know what to say behind the mourning family. ”

Wan Zhen'er glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhou, and said to her slowly: "Whatever the Empress Dowager thinks, in short, Zhen'er walks right, walks straight, and everything is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." Niangniang has to say that Zhen'er is sorry for Niangniang, then Zhen'er has nothing to say, but I don't know if Niangniang has thought about it? Without the emperor's instructions, how dare Zhen'er do so many things? What the Queen Mother should be worried about now is how to explain to the emperor, and now that she has done so many things, what does the emperor think of the Queen Mother in his heart? ”

"You demon girl, do you want to provoke the feelings of our mother and son? You're a big rebel. Qingsha immediately took her down, scolded her with a cane, and beat her to death. ”

"What? Fight to the death? After hearing this, Qingsha was stunned.

She raised her head and peeked at the Empress Dowager Zhou, Qingsha saw the Empress Dowager Zhou's expression, and knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou was very resentful, but in this case, if the Empress Dowager Zhou really beat Wan Zhen'er to death, if it reached the emperor's ears, the emperor would not be so easy to calculate.

The emperor is now pampering Wan Zhen'er, and when he relies on her to come up with ideas, the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to deliberately make enemies of Wan Zhen'er, which is unreasonable, this will completely destroy the mother-son relationship between the Empress Dowager Zhou and Zhu Jianshen, so it is not good for them.

Qingsha thought for a long time before slowly saying to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Empress Dowager, you must be calm, I think everything will be dealt with when the emperor comes up." ”

"What? Qingsha, you dare to disobey the meaning of the mourning family, and you are getting bolder and bolder, aren't you? Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Qingsha and said hatefully.

Qingsha immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, the slave doesn't dare, how dare the slave dare to disobey the mother's will?" It's just that the slave maid is thinking about Niangniang, and Niangniang killed a Wan Guifei, so what? The most unbearable thing for the emperor is that Niangniang took advantage of the emperor's indifference to execute Wan Guifei, if the emperor knew, he would definitely be dissatisfied with the queen mother. In this way, it will affect the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and the emperor. Qingsha said while hinting at the Empress Dowager Zhou, and winked at the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know if she saw her eyes, but Qingsha was obviously for the good of Empress Dowager Zhou, she was afraid that Empress Dowager Zhou and Zhu Jianshen would quarrel over Wan Zhen'er's matter again, originally they had an unpleasant quarrel to deal with Jian Huaizhen's matter, and now if they make trouble about this matter, it will not be beneficial to Empress Dowager Zhou at all.

No matter what, Empress Dowager Zhou must take care of the relationship between mother and son, otherwise, it will definitely not be of any benefit to herself.

She hesitated for a long time, as if she was enduring something, and finally said to Qingsha: "Okay, the mourning family will let go of Concubine Wan for the sake of Qingsha today." It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, come forward and shave Concubine Wan with a hard palm, you must slap until her face is swollen, I see what she will use to charm the emperor in the future. Wan Guifei, you were born with the mourning family, how many catties and taels do you have, can the mourning family still be unclear? How much ability you have and what you have done, don't you know it? The mourning family has not exposed you in front of the emperor all along, hoping that you can help the mourning family wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect you to become more and more bold and reckless now. ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard Empress Dowager Zhou say this, she knew that Empress Dowager Zhou would be unhappy if she didn't deal with her today, but how could she be bullied by Empress Dowager Zhou so easily?

She hesitated for a long time before she said slowly: "Queen Mother, if you beat Zhen'er today, and the emperor sees it, Zhen'er must tell the truth, I believe that the image of the Empress Dowager Zhou in the eyes of the emperor will become different from now." Queen Mother, Zhen'er advises you not to do anything to Zhen'er for the sake of the relationship between the master and servant with Zhen'er in the past. ”

When she said these words, she just wanted to deliberately provoke the Empress Dowager Zhou, if the Empress Dowager Zhou was very angry and made a big noise, presumably this matter would soon reach the ears of the emperor.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was just about to say something, but Qingsha had already whispered in her ear: "Empress Dowager, what she said is not unreasonable, the so-called small intolerable is a big plan." If Wan Zhen'er is dealt with now, then presumably the emperor's impression of the queen mother will be even worse, so how should the eldest princess deal with it? The so-called things have priorities, and things are slow and round, and the mother should know this. ”

"Qingsha, why are you always helping Wan Zhen'er today, did you take any benefits from Wan Zhen'er?" Empress Dowager Zhou said indignantly.

"Niangniang Mingjian, Qingsha will never dare to do anything to be sorry for Niangniang, if you do thunder and thunder, you will not die." The green gauze brush knelt down and showed his loyalty to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou just said it casually, she knew that Qingsha hated Wan Zhen'er very much in her heart, and she would not be in the same league with Wan Zhen'er, the reason why she said this was indeed for herself, so she shook her head and said, "Okay, the mourning family just said that." Wan Zhen'er, your fate is big today, if you do anything again, the mourning family will definitely not let you go like this. Yes, the mourning family is worried that the relationship with the emperor's mother and son will not be good, so they let you go, but if you really annoy the mourning family, the mourning family will do everything. Green yarn, with the mourning family back to the palace. ”

"Yes." Qingsha nodded, so a large group of palace maids and eunuchs hugged the Empress Dowager Zhou back to the palace.

Leaving Wan Zhen'er there to cover her face, she said hatefully: "What you gave me today, one day I will let you pay it back." ”

Mama Chen hurriedly stepped forward to look at Wan Zhen'er's face and said to her, "Oh, Niangniang, look at your face, what is it like to be beaten?" Are you okay? ”

Wan Zhen'er reluctantly shook her head, and said very angrily: "It's okay, it's just that what they gave to Bengong today, Bengong will one day let them repay tenfold." Empress Dowager Zhou is really too much, and now she is not alone in charge of the harem, she actually deals with the palace like this. If one day, the harem is really in charge of her alone, and she may not be able to do anything to the palace. ”

"It's good that Niangniang knows about this, so Niangniang has done so many things, it's all right. If the eldest princess comes back to this harem and continues to contain the Empress Dowager Zhou, the slave believes that the Empress Dowager Zhou will not dare to be so arrogant and domineering. As for the eldest princess, she is indeed very strict, but compared to Queen Zhou, after all, she is more just in everything, right? ”

Wan Zhen'er nodded and said, "Mama Chen, you have a point, but I don't know what happened to Scatter." ”

The two of them were talking for a while, and Mama Chen hurriedly took ice cubes to help Wan Zhen'er cover her face, and at this time, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in, knelt down to Wan Zhen'er and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Aunt Zero, she is here." ”

That little eunuch was also Wan Zhen'er's trust, and when she heard that Zerofall was coming, she hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and invite Aunt Zero." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch agreed, and went to ask for Zero.

It didn't take long for Zero to be brought in, and after Zero came in, she looked much better, she came forward to greet Wan Zhen'er first, Wan Zhen'er helped her up, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zero Luo, why are you so polite?" I'm also worried that my aunt will never come back, and the eldest princess didn't listen to a word of what the palace said, but I didn't expect my aunt to come back again, and I think things are very good. She looked at the scattered with anticipation.

Ling Luo also nodded with a smile and said: "Live up to the trust of the imperial concubine, after the slave and maid talked to the eldest princess, the eldest princess took care of the emperor's affection for her, and really agreed to shake hands with the emperor." ”

"Really? Is there really such a thing? Wan Zhen'er's eyes showed excitement.

She knows what this means, if the emperor can reconcile with Jian Huaizhen, it means that the authority of the Empress Dowager Zhou in the palace will gradually disappear in the future, and it will be more and more difficult for the Empress Dowager Zhou to deal with her Wan Zhen'er, and Wan Zhen'er must have been more or less reused by Jian Huaizhen because of her attachment to Jian Huaizhen this time, which is definitely a good thing for her, and she can't help but be overjoyed.

"Of course it's true, Zero never lies."

"Of course I know that Aunt Zero won't lie, Aunt Zero will get up." Wan Zhen'er personally helped Scattered Scatter up.

Seeing that Wan Zhen'er's face was a little red and swollen, Ling Luo asked, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard her ask, she casually touched her face and said, "It's nothing, it's not the Empress Dowager Zhou." Empress Dowager Zhou was dissatisfied with the palace and rescued you from the prison, so she came over to make a fuss, but fortunately, Empress Dowager Zhou was still jealous of the emperor and did not kill the palace. Otherwise, you won't be able to see Hongu now. ”

When Ling Luo heard Wan Zhen'er say this, he said to her: "Wan Huang Guifei, what you did for the emperor and the eldest princess, the emperor and the eldest princess must have remembered it. Either way, you've done so much, they're bound to take note. ”

"Zhen'er doesn't want the emperor and the eldest princess to remember Zhen'er's merits, I just hope that the emperor and the eldest princess will get along in harmony."

Hearing what Wan Zhen'er said, it seemed that everything was from the bottom of her heart, so she nodded.

Wan Zhen'er added another sentence and said: "Aunt Zero may have some opinions about Zhen'er in her heart, in fact, it's no wonder that in the past, Zhen'er did a lot of wrong things. But now that I think about it, I can figure it out, Zhen'er was originally a palace maid next to the Queen Mother, and until now, she can become the imperial concubine, in addition to a few queen mothers and princesses in this harem, Zhen'er's position is divided, what is Zhen'er not satisfied with? So what I want to do is nothing more than to promote peace in this harem, hoping that the eldest princess and the emperor can coexist peacefully. ”

Hearing her heartfelt words, Ling Luo couldn't help but nod and said: "What Wan Guifei said is really from the heart, and Ling Luo also empathizes. In any case, these words will definitely be said to the eldest princess in front of the eldest princess in the future. ”

"Thank you so much Aunt Zero, is the eldest princess really willing to forgive the emperor?"

"Yes, the eldest princess and the emperor are originally close relatives, how can there be an overnight feud, the eldest princess never thought of abolishing the emperor's throne. It was only at the instigation of traitors that the emperor deliberately made the eldest princess an enemy, and the eldest princess was forced to protect herself, so she borrowed 100,000 troops from North Korea. In short, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, and if it weren't for the traitors who are in the way, things wouldn't have turned out the way they are. ”

After Wan Zhen'er heard her say this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, this palace does think so, in short, everything the eldest princess did is right, and now it is even more rare that the eldest princess can be willing to reconcile with the emperor regardless of her past suspicions, this is really a happy event." Presumably, the emperor knew about it and was very happy. In this way, Aunt Lingluo, wait in the palace for a while, don't go anywhere, the palace will go to the emperor now to tell the emperor the good news. ”

Ling Luo nodded and said, "Then there will be Concubine Lao Wan." ”

Wan Zhen'er shook her head and said: "This is what this palace should do, Aunt Scattered should not go anywhere, now Empress Dowager Zhou is complaining about the disappearance of Aunt Scattered Girl, maybe she is looking for Aunt Scattered everywhere." In case the scattered aunt falls into the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"I see, go ahead." Zero Luo said to Wan Zhen'er.

After Wan Zhen'er finished instructing, she hurried to the Qianqing Palace with Mama Chen to see the emperor.

Gu Lengyi was guarding outside the door, and when he saw Wan Zhen'er coming, he said, "I don't know what happened when Concubine Wan came to find the emperor?" The emperor is in a bad mood now, if it's not urgent, please don't go in. ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "What does it matter, I believe that the emperor will be very happy after hearing my news." I must go in and see the emperor right now. ”

After Gu Lengyi heard her say this, he immediately went in to spread the word for Wan Zhen'er, and not long after, Gu Lengyi came out and said to her: "The emperor invites Wan Guifei in." ”

Wan Zhen'er nodded and walked in.

After entering, he saw Zhu Jianshen's frowning and constricted, and he was sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, so he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Zhu Jianshen, and said, "Slaves and maids see the emperor." ”

Zhu Jianshen suddenly saw Wan Zhen'er, but felt a little strange, so he said: "Zhen'er, just now, Gu Leng said that you asked to see me, and I was a little confused for a while. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wan Zhen'er looked at her and said with a smile: "Zhen'er also heard from the ancient father-in-law that the emperor was angry for some reason, so Zhen'er specially came to bring this good news to the emperor." ”

"Good news? What's the good news? There's no good news around me now, huh. The more he talked, the more angry he became, so he slapped the dragon case hard.

Hearing Zhu Jianshen say this, Wan Zhen'er said a little strangely: "Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Why are you so angry? If something happens, you might as well tell me again, maybe Zhen'er can help you. ”

Hearing Wan Zhen'er ask this, Zhu saw that he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, he said hatefully: "It's all the blame for this matter, the Queen Mother told me that she is related to Luo Kailing, and Luo Kailing will stand on my side no matter what, and help me deal with the eldest princess." Who knew that Luo Kailing had betrayed halfway now, I had already gotten the news, he had a very happy conversation with Ji Kaihan yesterday, and he also promised Ji Kaihan that he would never help me to oppose the eldest princess again. You said that this matter is not angry, and I don't know what kind of relative the Queen Mother is. ”

After hearing him say this, Wan Zhen'er laughed instead, Wan Zhen'er said: "In fact, all this is also in the imagination of the concubine, everyone in the world knows that General Luo Kailing Luo is an upright person, and everything he does is for the country and the world." The reason why he was willing to promise the queen mother to help the emperor was nothing more than because of the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and now he listened to Ji Xianhan's words again, and promised not to help the emperor against the eldest princess, presumably Ji Kaihan used the dawn to persuade him. Everything has become insignificant in the face of the country's righteousness, and the emperor should be able to understand him. ”

"But what about my understanding of him? He promised me again and again, using the army in his hands to help me rebel against the eldest princess, and now it's okay, the eldest princess not only has the candle shadow shaking red and the confession door in her hands, but also the 100,000 troops borrowed from North Korea, but I have nothing in my hands. How can I not be angry, you say? ”

After hearing him say this, Wan Zhen'er laughed, Wan Zhen'er walked to the emperor's side, personally made a cup of tea for him, brought it to him, and said: "Zhen'er wants to bless the emperor, wish the emperor great blessings, and wish the emperor's throne eternal and immortal." ”

"Zhen'er, did you deliberately mock me, knowing that I was angry now, that's why you said these things to me."
