"That's not what I said, Uncle Ji, you must not know the situation in the palace as I do, you listen to me." She said slowly: "Yes, Concubine Wan has indeed held a grudge against the princess and aunt and me, but in the same way, Empress Dowager Zhou has always held a grudge against her. She had killed the emperor's children and done so many wrong things, and the Empress Dowager Zhou's tolerance for her had already reached the limit. Now, the emperor no longer favors her, and the reason why the Empress Dowager Zhou can tolerate her until now is just that she hopes that she can help the emperor with advice. If one day, the emperor can really deal with the princess and aunt and control the power of the court, I believe that the Empress Dowager Zhou will not let Wan Zhen'er have a good life in the harem, but will do everything possible to deal with her. This can be imagined by a person as stupid as me, how can Wan Zhen'er not think of it? ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that what Tang Yunxu said was not unreasonable.

"I remember Aunt Lingluo said that after Wan Zhen'er knew that the emperor planned to raise troops with Luo Kailing, on the one hand, she pretended to help the emperor contact the courtiers, envelop the emperor, and show loyalty to the emperor, but on the other hand, she asked Mama Chen to secretly tell Aunt Lingluo about this matter. In this way, it can be seen that Wan Zhen'er is really smart, neither her family wants to offend, neither wants to offend the emperor, nor does she want to offend the princess and aunt, so she will make such a decision, this person's mind can be described as very deep. Now, although it is the princess and aunt who are trapped by the emperor, if it is just like this, I believe that at this moment, Wan Zhen'er will definitely not help us again, but Ji Shibo borrowed 100,000 troops to come back, then the situation is different, these 100,000 troops are gathered outside the capital, I believe that the imperial court will not be able to deal with them for a while, not to mention that the leader is the most famous general in North Korea, General Li Chengyu, so that things will be much easier to do. Even if Wan Zhen'er had helped the emperor wholeheartedly and helped the emperor with advice, now she would reassess the situation and consider how much chance of victory the princess aunt had. In that case, let's go and ask her about the whereabouts of the princess's aunt, and she may sell us a favor, lest the emperor fail, and the matter will be implicated in the matter. ”

After hearing Tang Yuncao's analysis, everyone couldn't help but raise their hands in praise.

Fang Xiao smiled and said: "Yun Cao, you have been in the palace for a long time, you have been familiar with the intrigue in the palace, and you are so familiar with the intrigue in the palace, it really makes the teacher admire you." ”

Tang Yuncao heard the irony in Fang Liao's words, so he said to him: "Yun Cao was originally a thoughtful person, and the reason why he never showed his edge in the harem was because Yun Cao never wanted to harm others, and he also hoped that others would not harm me. Now that it is related to the life of the princess aunt, Yun Cao has to help the princess aunt find a way no matter what. ”

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Fang Xiao smiled and said, "The teacher is joking with you, why are you so nervous?" Your method is not unreasonable, since this is the case, let me go to the palace again, go to Wan Zhen'er, and inquire about the matter clearly. ”

"You're injured now, I'll do it when you enter the palace." Fang Yu said to him, "You just escaped from the palace and went in again, wouldn't it be dangerous?" ”

Jiang Shaoheng laughed and said, "It is precisely because I just came out of the palace, and now probably no one expected that I would dare to go back again, so wouldn't it give me a chance?" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone nodded and said, "It's okay." It's just that when you go to the palace, you have to be very careful. ”

"I know, Brother Ji, you need to go outside the city now and talk to Li Chengyu about the army. Let him be very careful, don't fall for the court's plan, I believe that the court will not watch Li Chengyu with so many troops stationed outside the city gate, and will definitely find a way to deal with it. ”

"Okay, I see, don't worry." After they had discussed it, they acted according to their own ideas.

Fang Yu stayed behind to take care of Jian Polang and Tang Yunxu, Ji Qihan went out to meet Li Chengyu, and at the same time, Jiang Shaoheng entered the palace.

Soon, Jiang Shaoheng immediately entered the Forbidden City, and after he entered the palace, he was very careful this time, lest he accidentally reveal any clues.

It's just that Zhu Jianshen and Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it, and only thought that they might go to see Tang Yuncao or Jian Huaizhen, and never dreamed that Jiang Shaoheng would go to see Wan Zhen'er, and his journey was very smooth.

Soon, he came to the gate of Wan Zhen'er's palace, and he happened to see Mama Chen walking inside, so he stepped forward and grabbed Mama Chen, took a dagger, put it on her neck, and said to her: "Don't scream, take me in to see Wan Guifei immediately." ”

Mama Chen didn't know what was going on, and suddenly saw a dagger on her neck, of course she was so frightened that she didn't dare to shout, so she had to take Jiang Shaoheng inside.

Mama Chen has been here for a long time, so she naturally understands how to avoid everyone and enter Wan Zhen'er's bedroom, and soon, she took Jiang Shaoheng to Wan Zhen'er's bedroom.

Wan Zhen'er was dressing up in the mirror, and Mama Chen shouted outside: "Niangniang, I have something to ask to see." ”

She frowned and said, "Mama Chen, what do you have to do to see this palace?" ”

Mama Chen's voice trembled a little, and she said, "It's not that the slave wants to see Niangniang, it's someone who wants to see Niangniang." ”

Wan Zhen'er was stunned for a moment when she heard her say this, and while she was talking, Jiang Shaoheng had already walked in with Mama Chen hostage.

Seeing Jiang Shaoheng, Wan Zhen'er was slightly stunned, she immediately showed a smile on her face, and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Jiang, I don't know why Lord Taifu suddenly came to Zhen'er?" It's just that, I think you're probably in the wrong place, if you want to save the eldest princess, you should go to Wan'an Palace. If you come to me, I can't help you, and everyone knows that I, Wan Zhen'er, are soft-spoken in this harem, and you are holding me hostage, I believe that the Queen Mother will not use me to exchange for the eldest princess so much, so I think you are going for nothing today. ”

"Not necessarily." Jiang Shaoheng looked at her and said to her, "I came today to make a deal with you." ”

At this time, Jiang Shaoheng glanced outside and said to Mama Chen: "You quickly order the people outside to leave, I will make a deal with your master, you better not call people in." If you call someone in, I believe that I, Jiang Shaoheng, will be able to get out safely, but as for whether your master can be safe, it is uncertain. ”

After Mama Chen heard him say this, she was so shocked that she trembled, so Jiang Shaoheng let Mama Chen go and walked in front of Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er was very scared in her heart, she knew how high Jiang Shaoheng's martial arts were, and how easy it was for Jiang Shaoheng to kill herself, she looked at Jiang Shaoheng a little nervously, and said to him: "Mrs. Jiang, I think you are mistaken, you come to me, and I can't help you." What's the use of you making a deal with me? I am soft-spoken, how can the emperor and the queen mother listen to me? You're right? ”

"Yes, yes, and no. Yes, I believe that you are soft-spoken, the emperor and the queen mother will never listen to you, and if you want to exchange you for the eldest princess, I haven't even thought about it. Empress Dowager Zhou wished that Concubine Wan would die early, how could she exchange you for the eldest princess, so I didn't have this idea at all. ”

Wan Zhen'er didn't understand in her own heart, Empress Dowager Zhou wished that she would die early, but this sentence was unreservedly exposed by Jiang Shaoheng, she still felt a little annoyed, she glanced at Jiang Shaoheng coldly, and said to him: "Mrs. Jiang, everyone in the world knows that you are a humble gentleman, you should not have come here today to expose my shortcomings." Even if I am not treated by the emperor and favored by the queen mother, so what? I'm not alive and well. ”

"You live well now, but it may not be the case later. If the eldest princess is really suppressed by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou becomes the first person in this palace, do you think that with the character of the Empress Dowager Zhou, will she let you go? ”

"What do you mean by that?" When Wan Zhen'er heard him say this, she couldn't help but be a little frightened.

"Okay, Wan Guifei, I know that you are also a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush, what do you say, I, Jiang Shaoheng, will never talk nonsense. As we all know, the most unbearable thing in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou is you Wan Zhen'er, Wan Guifei, you were originally the person next to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and it was because of the Empress Dowager Zhou that you became the emperor's concubine, but you repeatedly betrayed the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou has long been disgusted with you in her heart. And the Empress Dowager Zhou knows that you have great ambitions, and you want to be windy and rainy in this harem, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is the same type of person as you, people like you, as long as there is one in the harem, if there are two, it is redundant. Am I right? ”

Every word of Jiang Shaoheng's words pointed directly at Wan Zhen'er's heart, and after Wan Zhen'er heard it, she didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Jiang Shaoheng continued to smile and said, "If I don't say it clearly enough, then I'll tell the truth." Why did the Empress Dowager Zhou encourage the emperor to come up and deal with the eldest princess this time? It is nothing more than because the Empress Dowager Zhou feels that the eldest princess controls the harem, and he, the Empress Dowager Zhou, cannot act recklessly, she is quite dissatisfied with the eldest princess in her heart, so she made this decision, she said on the surface that it was for the emperor, but in fact it was for herself. In case the eldest princess has any three long and two short, then the Empress Dowager Zhou will be the only one in the harem, and the Empress Dowager Qian will also be killed by her, and who she wants to live and who she wants to die at that time, it is not a matter for the Empress Dowager Zhou to have the final say, she wants to kill a person, it is easier than killing an ant. Your Concubine Wan has always been very smart, I believe you won't understand this truth. Jiang Shaoheng raised his head and looked at Wan Zhen'er as he spoke, seeing Wan Zhen'er's reaction.

After hearing Jiang Shaoheng's words, Wan Zhen'er was so frightened that she didn't know what to say for a while.

Wan Zhen'er is so smart, how can she not know that what Jiang Shaoheng said actually has some intimidating elements, but it is precisely because she is smart enough that she thinks about things enough, and she also understands that Jiang Shaoheng's words certainly have some intimidating elements, but in fact, they are more or less true.

If the Empress Dowager Zhou really controls the harem, the first person that the Empress Dowager Zhou will deal with at that time must be Wan Zhen'er.

And today, although the Empress Dowager Zhou and Jian Huaizhen have no good impression of Wan Zhen'er in their hearts, Jian Huaizhen will never allow the Empress Dowager Zhou to act recklessly in the harem and kill on a large scale, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is afraid of her prestige, so she does not dare to mess around.

However, once the Empress Dowager Zhou took control of the harem, the situation was completely different.

Whoever the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to deal with, she will deal with whomever she wants, and the first unlucky person at that time is her Wan Zhen'er, thinking of these, Wan Zhen'er can't help but have a headache.

She knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou must hate herself, and now it was because the emperor wanted to be the enemy of the eldest princess, and the emperor now needed to give him advice, so the Empress Dowager Zhou was polite to herself, but once she was useless, the Empress Dowager Zhou would try her best to deal with her.

Wan Zhen'er's face was ugly for a while.

Jiang Shaoheng saw her complexion and already understood what she was thinking, so he said to her: "I naturally know what Wan Guifei thinks in my heart, and Wan Guifei naturally feels that now Wan Guifei is the emperor's concubine, and the emperor naturally loves the concubine very much. If one day, the emperor can take power alone, maybe the concubine will follow the glory, but there is one thing, I hope you can figure it out with Wan Guifei, that is, will the emperor really be as rich as Wan Guifei? And the emperor can do it, so what about the character of the Empress Dowager Zhou? The eldest princess is very kind to the emperor, but how does the emperor deal with the eldest princess in the end? I believe that Wan Guifei can also see it clearly, does Wan Guifei think that the relationship between herself and the emperor is better than the relationship between the eldest princess and the emperor? ”

After his words, Wan Zhen'er's face suddenly turned pale, Wan Zhen'er naturally understood that Jian Huaizhen and Zhu Jianshen's ancestors and grandchildren were still very affectionate, once upon a time, Zhu Jianshen listened to Jian Huaizhen's words in everything, he has always listened to Jian Huaizhen's teachings, and did things according to what Jian Huaizhen said.

Now, it didn't take long for him to become a different person, and he wanted to settle the past with Jian Huaizhen, and he didn't have such affection with him, and he was gradually getting old and decrepit, if he wanted to be a queen, I am afraid it would be impossible.

He had threatened Zhu Jianshen before and promised to help him give advice, but the premise was that he wanted him to make a contract with him, and then he would be the queen, if after the incident, Zhu Jianshen remembered this matter and wanted to settle accounts with her Wan Zhen'er when the time came, so what should I do? ”

The more Wan Zhen'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more frightened she became, she glanced at Jiang Shaoheng, and said to him slowly: "Mrs. Jiang has a point, okay, since this is the case, then Zhen'er is willing to cooperate with Mrs. Jiang." What's more, there are now hundreds of thousands of Korean soldiers outside the palace, and I heard that these are the troops borrowed by the princess and North Korea. Zhen'er only hopes that no matter which aspect wins, Zhen'er can survive peacefully in this harem, which is enough. ”

Jiang Shaoheng smiled slightly and said: "Concubine Wan should know that the eldest princess has always been a righteous person, if Concubine Wan helps the eldest princess now, the eldest princess will naturally be engraved in her heart." At that time, the emperor has been taught a lesson, whether the eldest princess and the emperor are reconciled, in the end, the eldest princess will definitely not embarrass Concubine Wan. I believe that Wan Guifei knows that every sentence she said below is the truth. ”

Of course, Wan Zhen'er knows the relationship between Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen, since Jiang Shaoheng said this, he can completely represent Jian Huaizhen.

So she nodded and said solemnly to Jiang Shaoheng: "I also once asked where the emperor kept the eldest princess, but I never asked. In this way, let the palace help Mrs. Jiang inquire about the emperor, and when the inquiry is done, I will quietly send someone to tell Mrs. Jiang. I just don't know how I was able to contact Mrs. Jiang. ”

Jiang Shaoheng thought about it for a while, and then said to her: "As long as you send Mama Chen to the palace gate at that time, there will naturally be someone outside the palace gate who will answer you." It's just that I hope that Wan Guifei can think clearly, don't betray the eldest princess, Wan Guifei also knows that now there are 100,000 troops outside the capital, and she decides to enter Beijing at any time and fight to the death with the emperor's troops. At that time, who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, none of us can say clearly, if the winning side is the eldest princess, and Wan Guifei gives false news, I am afraid it will not be good for Wan Guifei. ”

Jiang Shaoheng has never been a person who likes to threaten people, the reason why he said this to Wan Zhen'er is also because he doesn't want Wan Zhen'er to temporarily defect, he knows that Wan Zhen'er has always been a person who has always gone back on his word, does everything, and only pays attention to self-interest in everything, so he intimidated Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er was really frightened by him, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Jiang, Zhen'er, I dare to deceive others, and I don't dare to deceive Mrs. Jiang." Zhen'er knows that Mrs. Jiang's martial arts are strong and she treats the palace as if it were a no-man's land, isn't Zhen'er afraid that Mrs. Jiang will deal with me? ”

Jiang Shaoheng smiled slightly and said, "In this case, I will leave first." After speaking, Jiang Shaoheng strode out.

Wan Zhen'er looked at his back and fell into deep thought for a while.

After a while, Mama Chen walked in, she saw Wan Zhen'er with a worried face, looking at the gate of the palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and said, "Niangniang, Jiang Shaoheng didn't deal with Niangniang just now, right?" ”

Wan Zhen'er shook her head and said, "No, he came to see Bengong just now to hope that Bengong would help him inquire about a message." ”

"Oh, it turns out that he also begged his mother, I don't know what news he asked his mother to help him inquire?"

"He asked me to help him inquire about where the eldest princess was being held."

After hearing this, Mama Chen sneered and said: "I'm afraid he thinks too much, he actually asked Niangniang to help him inquire about where the eldest princess is being held, how could Niangniang help him inquire and tell him?" In this way, if the emperor knows about it, how can the emperor give up with his mother? ”

Wan Zhen'er shook her head and said, "Mama Chen, this is a bad word, of course I have to help him." Not only will I help him to inquire, but I will also help him find out the right place and rescue the princess. ”

When Mama Chen heard her say this, she was stunned, looked at Wan Zhen'er with wide eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Niangniang, are you okay?" Why do you think that? If you help him find out where the eldest princess is being held, he may rescue the eldest princess, and what good will this do to the mother at that time? If the eldest princess has the heart to change the dynasty and set up someone else as the emperor, then Niangniang will no longer be the emperor's concubine, and all the grace of Niangniang will be nothing, at best she will be just a concubine of the first dynasty. Doesn't Niangniang want to get ahead in this harem? ”

Wan Zhen'er sighed coldly and said, "Why doesn't this palace want to get ahead in this harem?" Not only do you think about it, but you are almost crazy, but having said that, this palace can't act recklessly. Mama Chen, you should figure it out, that is, the emperor really defeated and dealt with the eldest princess, and if he can dominate the regime, it must not be the palace that will be in charge of the harem at that time, but the Empress Dowager Zhou. Empress Dowager Zhou is so domineering and vicious, do you think there will be a good life in this palace at that time? The eldest princess is indeed harsh in everything, but she has always been a fair person, obviously, the Empress Dowager Zhou is not, the Empress Dowager Zhou will deal with things with selfishness at every turn, I am afraid that after the Empress Dowager Zhou has mastered the harem power, the first one who will not let go is the palace, and the palace will not have a good life at that time. And you must not have a good life, do you think this palace should tell the place of the eldest princess of the Tibetan Emperor? ”

After hearing Wan Zhen'er's analysis, Mama Chen couldn't help but gasp, she felt that Wan Zhen'er was very reasonable, Empress Dowager Zhou was too vicious, thinking that back then, he even did something to murder the emperor, and now, what else can't she do?

But despite this, Mama Chen was still worried, she said: "If this matter is spread out and reaches the ears of the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou, what should it do?" If the Empress Dowager Zhou knew about it, Niangniang secretly released the news to Jiang Shaoheng to save the eldest princess, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhou would not let Niangniang go so easily. ”

"Haha, Bengong is just right, she won't let go of Bengong easily. You also know that this palace has always been from a humble background, and it is absolutely impossible to allow yourself to make the slightest mistake in the harem, let alone lean on the wrong side, if you lean on the wrong side, this palace will have nothing. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the palace decided to form a line with the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou on the one hand, and work for them with the same voice, but in fact, at the same time, secretly provide news to the eldest princess. In this way, whether it is the Empress Dowager Zhou, the emperor, or the eldest princess, they must all be grateful to me in their hearts, and it will be much easier to succeed when the time comes. No matter which side wins or which side loses, it will probably not involve me. ”

After hearing her say this, Mama Chen couldn't help but admire: "Niangniang is really very smart, what Niangniang said is still very reasonable, if this matter is really investigated, it is indeed impossible to implicate the head of the imperial concubine." But now where the eldest princess is locked up, we don't know at all, how can we rescue the eldest princess? ”

"Don't worry about this, as long as the palace goes to the emperor and speaks from his mouth, sooner or later the place where the eldest princess is imprisoned will be able to be taken out. When the time comes, Mama Chen will go to the palace to help the palace deliver the news, and I believe that it won't be long before this matter can be done. ”

After hearing Wan Zhen'er's words, Mama Chen immediately nodded and said: "If Niangniang has any instructions, just tell the slave maid, and the slave will do her best to help Niang Niang do her best." ”

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Mama Chen, thank you for your hard work." ”

Mama Chen immediately shook her head and said: "The slave is not hard, but the slave and the maid hope that the slave can protect her body, put herself first in everything, and don't leak the news when she is very blind." ”

Wan Zhen'er obviously seems to have her own calculations in her heart, Mama Chen has always been easy to follow what Wan Zhen'er said, and will implement it without hesitation.

She knows that the reason why she has this status in the palace today is indeed because of Wan Zhen'er, if Wan Zhen'er is not favored one day, or if something happens to her, the first unlucky person will be herself, so no matter what, she must act according to Wan Zhen'er's instructions, no matter what happens, she must also stand by Wan Zhen'er's side, and what Wan Zhen'er asks her to do, she must do it without hesitation.

And after Wan Zhen'er and Jiang Shaoheng chatted, they also deeply felt that if they wanted to continue to mix in this harem, they had to rely on both sides.

On the one hand, the person she has to rely on is naturally the emperor, no matter what, the emperor is her husband, if something happens to the emperor, she will definitely not be honored. On the other hand, the person she has to rely on is Jian Huaizhen, she knows very well how powerful Jian Huaizhen is, and as for whether Jian Huaizhen really has no power now, or whether it is just temporary, she is not sure.

Since this is the case, it is absolutely impossible for her to let herself take it for granted that Jian Huaizhen has no power, otherwise, maybe Jian Huaizhen will fight back when the time comes, and it is not only the emperor who is unlucky, but also the Empress Dowager Zhou, and her, she doesn't want to be one of them.

After thinking of this, she felt that she needed to talk to the emperor, if she could ask them where Jian Huaizhen was hiding, and then tell Jiang Shaoheng, she would definitely have a clear grudge against Jian Huaizhen in the future, and even if she could redress this rebellion, she would not trouble her again.

After thinking of this, she went to the Qianqing Palace to ask to see the emperor.

At this moment, Zhu Jianshen was upset and irritable in reviewing the recital, and suddenly heard Gu Lengyi come to tell him, saying that Wan Zhen'er was coming, he thought about it, then shook his head and said, "No." ”

Gu Lengyi showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and said to him, "Your Majesty." At this point, he stopped.

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had something to say, Zhu Jian glanced at him and said coldly: "Gu Lengyi, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, why bother to say it and stop." ”

Gu Leng nodded and said, "Since the emperor asked the slave to say, the slave will have something to say." The emperor is now using people's strategies, and he must return to the heart of the world, otherwise, it will be bad for the emperor himself in the end. Wan Niangniang has always been far-sighted and very smart, if the emperor doesn't see her, I'm afraid that there will be something in the future when Wan Niangniang asks the emperor to give advice. At this point, he stopped.

When Zhu Jianshen heard his words, he naturally understood what Gu Lengyi meant, Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it, since that's the case, you just let her in." ”

"Yes." Gu Leng was like being amnestied, and hurriedly said.
