When Wan Zhen'er heard Lin Jian'an's words, she was a little stunned for a while, because the most taboo in the harem is the word "private relationship", if a concubine is found to have any personal affairs with other men, then the concubine will definitely be severely punished.

Therefore, when Wan Zhen'er heard Lin Jian'an say this, she was immediately trembling with anger.

She looked at Lin Jian'an for a long time before saying, "This palace warns you, don't chew the root of your tongue here, otherwise this palace will pinch you to death, just like pinching an ant to death." ”

"If Niangniang wants to pinch the old slave to death, the old slave doesn't have any ideas, but before Niangniang pinched the old slave to death, it's better to think about how to explain it to the emperor, right? Anyway, this Yu Mian can't be put anywhere, if Niangniang releases him today, then the old slave must be in front of the emperor to participate in Niangniang's copy. ”

"With your little head of the inner court, do you think you can join the palace? No matter what, this palace must release Yu Mian today. ”

While the two were arguing, the killer suddenly stood up, and he said to Wan Zhen'er: "Wan Guifei I'm sorry, I can't obey your orders, although I accepted your money before, but you are just a concubine, and he represents the emperor, although I am a killer, I also know the weight of the trade-off, who should obey the order, so I will not let this Yu Mian go no matter what." ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard this, she was only trembling with anger, she pointed at the killer and said: "You-you-you, if you don't do what Bengong said today, then one day, if you are planted in the hands of Bengong, Bengong will not let you go easily, everyone knows that my Wan Zhen'er has the most room to do things." ”

Wan Zhen'er's eyes glowed like a blade, and the killer felt a little cold for a moment.

Despite this, he still stood in the middle and said resolutely: "No matter what, I can't let this person go today, if I let him go, the emperor will know that I will die now, and if I wait for the emperor to clean up, it will take a few months, or even a few years later, and the ants are still stealing life, let alone people?" ”

Wan Zhen'er knew that no matter what she said at this moment, the killer would not listen to her, so she could only look at Yu Mian helplessly, and said softly to Mian: "I'm sorry! ”

Yu Mian finally understood what was going on at this moment, he didn't know that this strategy was originally offered by Wan Zhen'er, he thought that Wan Zhen'er was just coerced by the emperor, so he came out and did something to frame himself.

So he shook his head and said: "It's okay, this is not your business in the first place, and besides, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, he has always been a son of heaven, if he makes up his mind to want my life, then what can I do as a courtier?" ”

When Yu Mian said these words, there was a fierce look in her eyes, and that look made Wan Zhen'er feel very sad for a while, she didn't know what to say.

Lin Jian'an finally ordered the killer to take Yu Mian away, Wan Zhen'er could only watch him being taken away, and Wan Zhen'er should deal with the emperor next is how to explain the matter with Yu Mian.

She saw Lin Jian'an's rampant attitude of a villain, she felt that Lin Jian'an would definitely tell the emperor about this matter, although she and Lin Jian'an were also people in the same boat before, but the so-called cooperation is not together, and the interests of the two people are naturally parting ways.

After Wan Zhen'er returned to the palace, she went to see Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Jianshen caught Yu Mian because of her previous strategy, and felt very appreciative in her heart, so she ordered someone to pass her in.

After Wan Zhen'er saw Zhu Jianshen, she took two steps forward and knelt down and said: "Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and said: "Concubine Wan, please get up, I have something to thank you, if it weren't for you, this Yu Mian would not have fallen into my hands." ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard him say these words, there was a smug look in his tone, and he didn't know if he was sarcastic about himself or if he was really praising himself.

She didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she stared at Zhu Jianshen and said: "Why does the emperor say that, Zhen'er is just doing her duty, what an honor Zhen'er is to be able to do things for the emperor." ”

Zhu Jianshen heard her say this, stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, well, since this is the case, I will have to rely on you more in the future." ”

His expression was very upright when he spoke, and there was no hint of mockery.

Wan Zhen'er only knew at this moment that Lin Jian'an did not tell Lin Jian'an what happened in the City God Temple that day, she glanced at Lin Jian'an, only to see Lin Jian'an standing below with his head bowed respectfully, and she couldn't see what expression was on his face.

Wan Zhen'er finally figured it out at this moment, it turned out that although Lin Jian'an held his own handle in his hand, he also deeply understood that he had his handle in his hand.

So the two of them are just using each other, and he will not complain to the emperor about himself, unless it is a last resort, in order to save his life, he may do this, Wan Zhen'er thought of this, and her heart was steady.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't let Lin Jian'an see it, lest Lin Jian'an think she was afraid of herself.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?" Wan Zhen'er asked tentatively.

Zhu Jian thought deeply and said: "I will naturally send someone to the eldest princess to bring out the golden jade scepter next, as long as the golden jade scepter is still in the hands of the eldest princess for a day, then I will not be able to live in peace for a day." ”

Wan Zhen'er thought for a while, nodded and said: "The emperor is very worried, but according to what the slave maid sees, the eldest princess may not be at the mercy of the emperor, why don't we start from scratch and think of a different way?" If the eldest princess sees Yu Mian missing, she will definitely think of the emperor first, which will be unfavorable to the emperor. ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his hand a little irritable and said, "What other way can I think about it now, since the matter has been carried out here, can I still turn back?" In any case, I must take out the golden jade staff from the hands of the eldest princess, use this method first, and if this method fails, we will slowly figure out a way. ”

"But the emperor, if the eldest princess thinks that you took Yu Mian away, and then your ancestors and grandchildren turn against you?" Wan Zhen'er asked cautiously.

Zhu Jianshen sneered and said: "Does the eldest princess still miss my ancestors and grandchildren, if she does, she will not target me everywhere, no matter what I do, she feels that I am not doing it right." ”

Wan Zhen'er knew that Zhu Jianshen had already eaten the scales, and no matter how much she persuaded her, he would not listen to her advice anymore, which made her feel very chilled.

If she hadn't caught Yu Mian by Zhu Jianshen before, she wouldn't have had this consequence today, and she used herself as bait to lure out of the crown at that time, although Yu Mian didn't blame herself, thinking that she was also coerced, but this still made Wan Zhen'er feel uneasy.

Wan Zhen'er took two steps forward, helped Zhu Jianshen sit down, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, if the eldest princess refuses to hand over this golden jade staff, what should you do with Yu Mian?" ”

Zhu Jianshen glanced back at Wan Zhen'er a little strangely, and said, "You are really weird, Concubine Wan, I don't know why you are always very concerned about the crown matter?" ”

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly smiled to cover up the past, and said: "The emperor is too worried, Zhen'er just wants to plan for the emperor, and doesn't want any mistakes in this matter to affect the emperor's reputation." ”

Zhu Jianshen just smiled and said: "I'm just talking, I'm just joking with you, why do you bother to take it to heart?" Besides, you are a good helper who can advise me, how could I cut off my own arm? ”

Zhu Jianshen's words made Wan Zhen'er's heart quiet down, at least this shows that Zhu Jianshen is not suspicious of herself, so it will be much easier for her to do things.

She continued to ask: "Your Majesty, the slave maid wants to know what the Emperor will do with Yu Mian if the eldest princess refuses to hand over the golden jade scepter?" ”

"Kill!"

Zhu Jianshen stood out with a killing word, and then slapped the case a few times, and said: "I see Yu Mian every day, I feel that I can't sleep and eat unsteadily, if Yu Mian lives in this world one day, then this heart of mine can never let go, so no matter what, I can never condone Yu Mian anymore, I absolutely have no mercy for the crown killing." ”

"What, the emperor wants to kill Yu Guan? This is a big thing, when the emperor wanted to send Yu Mian and Mrs. Zhang to Shanhaiguan and Shanxi, at that time, the heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes gathered together to confront the imperial court, if it wasn't for the eldest princess to come forward to calm things down, I'm afraid things would not be so easy to solve, and now if the emperor is so poisonous to the crown, the matter will spread out I am afraid that there will be a thief to make trouble at that time? ”

"Hmph, is Yu Mian trying to threaten me? What he thinks is beautiful, I will never let him succeed, that is, what if the reckless men in the rivers and lakes rebel, I will definitely be able to think of a way to deal with them, and I don't believe that they can escape from the palm of my hand. ”

Lin Jian'an glanced at Wan Zhen'er, and there seemed to be a warning in his eyes.

He suddenly said below: "The so-called whole world, is it not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it not the king's ministers, this whole world is the emperor's place, the people of the world are the emperor's people, whoever the emperor wants to live, whoever wants to live, and whoever the emperor wants to die, who has to die, Niangniang, please don't worry about the matter of Yu Mian!" ”

Lin Jian'an's words were no less than provocative words in Wan Zhen'er's ears, and after listening to it, she glanced at Lin Jian'an coldly and said in her heart: "Lin Jian'an, you are disrespectful to the palace today, and one day the palace will let you repay it a thousand times and a hundred times, and then you will know the fate of offending the palace." ”

Wan Zhen'er just thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on the surface, she nodded and said: "Maybe what Gonggong Lin said is right, it's just that everything Zhen'er thinks about is just for the sake of the emperor, and I hope the emperor can understand." ”

Zhu Jianshen pulled her to sit down and said, "Of course I know that everything Wan Guifei does is for me, otherwise, how could I trust Wan Guifei so much?" But what can be done now? If the news of me catching Yu Crown spreads, wouldn't I have to bear the name of a faint monarch, and if the eldest princess knew about it, the eldest princess would definitely not let me go. ”

Wan Zhen'er pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, if the eldest princess doesn't give the golden jade staff to the emperor, the emperor might as well be a favor and let Yu Mian go, right?" ”

"That's absolutely not good, no matter what, I finally caught him, and it was definitely not so easy to let him go, when the time comes, I just need to let the killer kill him, and then I will give a heavy reward, and the reward will be offered to hunt down the killer, and then everyone in the world will think that Yu Mian died in the hands of the killer, and no one will think that he actually died at my hands, hahaha-"

The more Zhu Jianshen spoke, the more proud he became, and his face was quite crazy, and his attitude made Wan Zhen'er feel very scared.

Because the Zhu Jianshen that Wan Zhen'er knew was not like this, not only was he not like this, but he was far from what he looked like at this moment.

She didn't expect that Zhu Jianshen would do such a despicable and cold-blooded thing today, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he would not hesitate to hire a killer to kill his rival for the sake of a mere woman, and that rival was the pillar of the country, which made Wan Zhen'er very contemptuous of Zhu Jianshen in her heart.

In the past, she had a residual good impression of Zhu Jianshen, but this good feeling disappeared immediately.

Zhu Jianshen is greatly inferior to Yu Mian, and it is no wonder that Wan Zhen'er has only Yu Mian in her eyes and heart.

Wan Zhen'er saw that Zhu Jianshen had almost entered a state of madness at this moment, and knew that no matter how much she persuaded her, Zhu Jianshen would not listen to her words anymore, so she decided that it would be better to stop there, and then find a way to rescue Yu Mian by herself.

Thinking of this, she bowed down and said to the emperor: "It's not early, the emperor should rest early, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and said, "Okay, since this is the case, Concubine Wan, you can retreat first!" ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Wan Zhen'er saluted Zhu Jianshen as she spoke, then turned around and retreated.

Lin Jian'an looked at Zhu Jianshen and stopped talking, and then said after a while: "Your Majesty, don't you think that the concubine Niangniang behaved a little weird just now?" “

"It's a little weird, I don't think so, I think Zhen'er has always been a good helper by my side who can give advice, although she is my concubine, but in my heart she is like my military advisor, no matter what I do in the future, I will have to rely on her as a military advisor to pay attention?"

Lin Jian'an originally wanted to test what kind of feelings the emperor had for Wan Zhen'er, he wanted to test whether the emperor would believe it if he told the emperor about Wan Zhen'er and Yu Mian's private relationship.

But when he heard the emperor's two words, he knew that Wan Zhen'er did occupy a very important position in Zhu Jianshen's heart, and no matter what he said, I was afraid it would be useless, so he decided to stop talking.

Zhu Jianshen saw that he was alone there for a long time and stopped talking, and he didn't say anything, so he asked: "Gonggong Lin, I see what is the matter with you all the time, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare."

Lin Jian'an hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't have anything to hide from the emperor, the slave just wants to talk to the emperor casually." ”

Zhu Jianshen thought about it and didn't dare him, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "That's it, that's it, I also know that you shouldn't have anything to hide from me, you are by my side every day, what are you thinking in your heart, what are you doing every day, is there anyone who knows better than me?" Anyway, it's been hard work for you these days. ”

Zhu Jianshen praised Lin Jian'an for a while, which made Lin Jian'an's blood boil, because since he followed Zhu Jianshen's side, from the beginning, he was not trusted and valued by Zhu Jianshen at all, and gradually was valued by him later, and until now, he actually said such good things to himself, how could he not be happy in his heart.

In fact, all of this is somewhat inseparable from Wan Zhen'er, so he thought about it and felt that no matter what, as long as Wan Zhen'er didn't offend him, he shouldn't embarrass her, so he still didn't tell Zhu Jianshen about Wan Zhen'er's desire to let Yu Mian go.

After Zhu Jianshen made up his mind, he began to order the killer to ask Jian Huaizhen for the golden jade staff.

The news of Yu Mian's disappearance soon spread to Huaiming Garden, and at first Mrs. Zhang found that Yu Mian was missing, so she sent someone to Huaiming Garden for help.

Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng, and Ji Qihan were all taken aback when they heard this, they all hid Tang Jingran and didn't tell her about it.

Because they knew that if they told Tang Jingran, they were afraid that this matter would definitely make Tang Jingran worried, so they deliberately did not tell her.

Jiang Shaoheng said slowly: "The matter of Yu Mian's disappearance is really too strange, and now that the emperor has promised the eldest princess that she will no longer be against Yu Mian, who still has such a great ability to take Yu Mian away?" ”

Ji Xianhan thought for a while and said, "Isn't it that Yu Mian offended some robbers, right?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Sympathy, you are joking, Yu Mian usually stays at home except for the previous court, how can he offend any robbers, in short, this matter will not be so simple in my opinion." ”

When the three of them heard him say this, Gu sighed.

"So what should we do?" Ji Qihan asked.

Fang Yu thought about it and shook his head, then turned his gaze to Jiang Shaoheng.

Jiang Shaoheng settled down and thought about it slowly, only felt that things were too unbelievable, if he just went to find Yu Mian's whereabouts, he might not be able to find it, because Yu Mian was originally fine, why did he suddenly disappear?

Speaking of this matter, maybe there is really some clue connection with Zhu Jianshen, if not, someone else has taken Yu Mian away, and it is not so easy for them to check it for a while, and now there is only one thing they can do, that is, wait, wait for the news of Yu Mian.

No matter who captured Yu Mian, they would definitely make conditions to Mrs. Zhang as soon as possible, and as long as there was this, they were not afraid that the robbers would be unfavorable to Mian.

Fang Yu asked the old butler and said, "Before, did you Young Master Yu Mian have anything unusual?" ”

The old housekeeper thought for a while, and after a long time, he touched his gray beard and said, "Our Lord Yu doesn't look different from usual, but there was a grandmother in the palace who came to look for him before that. ”

"Who is the old lady in the palace? How can the old lady in the palace go out of the palace at will? ”
