Zhu Yankang said coldly: "Queen Mother, if you have any orders, just say it." ”

"The mourning family likes your straightforward temperament," the Queen Mother smiled slightly: "How did you do last time?" ”

"How well this matter is done depends on the effect of what the Queen Mother gave me. If that thing is really useful, it must not be long before the Queen Mother will have the result she wants. ”

The Queen Mother held her face, as if she was thinking about something. Then he asked, "You haven't used this method on anyone other than him, have you?" ”

Zhu Yankang replied: "The Queen Mother has not given an order, so naturally I don't dare to mess around." ”

"Well," the Queen Mother nodded lightly, and then ordered: "Let Yin Che fall in love with you as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Yankang's eyes turned, his tone changed slightly, and he said, "The Queen Mother asked me to marry the Fourth Prince, but she just wanted to control the military power in the hands of the Fourth Princes through me. It's just that I don't understand, why didn't the Queen Mother directly find a woman who was loved by the fourth prince? Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, I have been married to the fourth prince so far, and he has never touched me. ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, looked Zhu Yankang up and down, and said: "According to the mourning family's understanding of Yin Che, he will definitely like a woman like you who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and can endure humiliation and burden." ”

Zhu Yankang picked the corners of his mouth and said, "The Queen Mother is too naïve, a woman like me who is sent to the door, the fourth prince will definitely doubt me." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened, and she seemed to suddenly see through Zhu Yankang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "According to the mourning family, this should be your reason, right?" Are you still thinking about Bai Xu in your heart, so you don't want to show favor to Yin Che? It seems that the mourning family has to let you die of this heart. ”

Zhu Yankang couldn't help frowning, and immediately stretched out again, and said, "Of course not, I'm with that white. The military division has nothing to do with it at all. ”

"It would be best if it was like that." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled, in other words: "The New Year will be in half a month, and the Mourning family will give you another half a month to have sex with Yin Che within this half a month, otherwise the Mourning family will not guarantee to do something to your little prince of Guyu." ”

Zhu Yankang clenched his fists tightly and didn't answer a word for a long time.

"Don't think about doing anything, please deceive the mourning family, the mourning family will send someone to keep an eye on you." The Queen Mother said, raised her hand to cover her lips and yawned, and said weakly: "The mourning family is tired, you can step down." ”

Mama Cao hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhu Yankang: "The slave maid will send the fourth princess back." ”

Zhu Yankang didn't move, just stood there.

"What, is there anything else you can do?" The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at her.

"I want to see my brother." Zhu Yankang's tone was stunned, "I must see him today, I want to make sure that he is still alive." ”

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Mama Cao, you take her to the water prison." ”

Mama Cao received the order and took Zhu Yankang out.

The way to the water prison passed in front of the West Inner Garden, and when the two of them passed by, they just saw Fu Mingyue coming out of the garden, so they stepped forward and saluted: "Slave maid see Shu Guifei Niangniang." ”

Zhu Yankang also bowed slightly, but did not speak.

As soon as Fu Mingyue saw Zhu Yankang, she didn't realize who she was, she nodded with a smile and said, "The two of you are exempt, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

Mama Cao said: "The four princesses entered the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, and the slave maid wanted to send the four princesses out of the palace." ”

"I see." Fu Mingyue then remembered that this person was Yin Che's princess, so she smiled and nodded at her.

"Then the slave and the four princesses retired first."

"Okay." Fu Mingyue nodded slightly, and Mama Cao hurriedly left with Zhu Yankang.

After their figures were gone, Fu Mingyue was still staring at the direction they left, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Niangniang, this is the outlet, let's hurry back to the palace." Fang Yi, who was behind Fu Mingyue, draped the cloak on Fu Mingyue and said to her.

Fu Mingyue didn't seem to hear her words, and muttered to herself: "Anyway, she is also a princess, and she came out and went in, and she didn't even bring a maid, did the fourth prince treat her badly?" And the road they left was not the direction of leaving the palace. ”

Another maid behind her said auspiciously: "If the mother thinks it is strange, why don't the slaves and maids follow to take a look?" ”

Fu Mingyue thought for a while, the Queen Mother only ordered Mama Cao to lead Zhu Yankang alone, and she should be doing something important. Yin Mu has always focused on the big and small forces on the side of Li Guo, if Zhu Yankang is also the queen mother's person, this will be chaotic. Yin Mu may not be able to pay attention to it, and he may suffer a loss when the time comes.

Then he said: "This is the best way for me to go over and see it in person." ”

After that, he followed Fang Yi and Jixiang from afar.

The north side of the palace is full of cold palaces and prisons, and the more you walk, the more deserted you go. When she was about to arrive at the water prison, Mama Cao subconsciously looked back and saw that there was no one, so she showed the sign of Jingyang Palace to the guards guarding the prison gate, and the guards immediately got out of the way and let Zhu Yankang in.

Mama Cao was guarding outside, and Fu Mingyue was hiding not far away to watch them, and whispered to Fang Yi: "Try to lure her away." ”

Fang Yi nodded, and quietly went around not far away to hide, loudly imitating the sound of two men arguing.

Over there, Mama Cao really panicked, and went over with the two guards to look, Fu Mingyue took this opportunity to quickly flash into the water prison.

The light in the water prison was extremely dim, and Fu Mingyue followed her to the bottom before she saw Zhu Yankang's back. Zhu Yankang squatted down and talked to a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sitting in prison.

The young man said: "Sister, my father has explained that the monarch of the Li Kingdom is weak and incompetent, and it is only the Queen Mother who is actually in power, as long as my sister has a way to assassinate the Queen Mother, our national hatred and family hatred will be avenged!" ”

Zhu Yankang sighed helplessly: "But I can't watch you die, I still have to listen to her now, and when I rescue you, I will kill her with my own hands!" ”

"Sister, I can't wait any longer!" The young man held Zhu Yankang's hand and said excitedly: "It's nothing to sacrifice me alone, you can do it!" ”

Fu Mingyue couldn't help but sigh softly, this is really a poor child, he has to bear the hatred of the country and the family at such a young age.

"Who?" Zhu Yankang heard Fu Mingyue's sigh and immediately walked over.

Fu Mingyue didn't hide, and walked out directly and said, "It's the palace." ”

Zhu Yankang was slightly surprised, and then his eyebrows tightened, as if he was struggling with something.

"What, are you thinking that Hongu has discovered your secret, do you want to kill Hongu?" Fu Mingyue chuckled lightly, and couldn't help but say: "You just said that you are subject to the Queen Mother, do you know who the Queen Mother is in this palace?" If you kill this palace, will the Queen Mother still let you and your younger brother live? ”

Zhu Yankang was silent, and looked at Fu Mingyue coldly.

"You don't have to worry that the palace will tell what you heard just now," Fu Mingyue walked around behind her, looked at the young man who was tied up in the water prison, and shook her head: "It's really pitiful, the Queen Mother actually treats the prince of the ancient fish country like this." ”

"You won't tell the Queen Mother?" Zhu Yankang's face was full of disbelief, "What exactly do you want?" ”

Fu Mingyue turned her face to look at her and said, "It's not a secret, this palace has the same purpose as yours." ”

"Same purpose as mine?" Zhu Yankang sneered: "You are a member of the Fu family, the future queen of the Li Kingdom, would you want to kill the most powerful person in your Fu family like me?" ”

"Oh? It turns out that you know that Hongu is a member of the Fu family. Fu Mingyue picked the corner of her mouth and chuckled: "It seems that you know Li Guo very thoroughly." Then you should also know that in addition to being a member of the Fu family, this palace is also the concubine of His Majesty, and in the eyes of this palace, the Yin family is more important. ”

"What do you mean, be direct." Zhu Yankang said coldly.

"You will also know that the Yin family and the Fu family have been fighting for rights for decades, and now, it is obvious that the Fu family has the upper hand." Fu Mingyue paused for a moment, and then said: "All, this palace is also the same as you, and wants to deal with the Queen Mother." Why don't you and I cooperate? ”

Zhu Yankang's eyes flashed with some doubt, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”

Fu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, thinking that with such a major decision, Zhu Yankang would go back and think about it for a few days, but he didn't expect to agree directly.

Fu Mingyue nodded with a smile and asked, "In that case, first of all, you have to tell the palace what the Queen Mother has asked you to do?" ”

Zhu Yankang replied: "First of all, he gave me a scroll, which recorded the method of demagoguery, and let me control the Nine Princes. Then he asked me to marry the fourth prince, trying to control the military power of the fourth prince through me. ”

From the time Fu Mingyue knew that Zhu Yankang was the queen mother's person, she guessed that Zhu Yankang wanted that military power when he married the fourth prince. But she didn't expect the Queen Mother to use her to deal with the Nine Princes.

She hurriedly asked, "What scroll?" What did you do to the Nine Princes? ”

Zhu Yankang opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and it seemed that Fang Yi and Jixiang were arguing with the guards guarding the door.

Fu Mingyue looked outside worriedly and said to her: "Tonight, the palace will send someone to pick you up from the Four Princes' Mansion and take you into the palace secretly, and then you will tell the palace about the matter." ”

Zhu Yankang nodded, glanced at the young man in the prison again, and then turned around and walked out of the water prison. Fu Mingyue followed behind her.

Outside, Zhu Yankang saw that the two maids beside Fu Mingyue were arguing with the guards, and Mama Cao was standing on the side, her face seemed to be very embarrassed, so she walked over and said, "I've seen the people, and now I'm going back to the house." ”

"Okay, the old slave will send the fourth princess back."

Zhu Yankang led Mama Cao away, and Concubine Shu walked out of the water prison. The two guards turned their backs to her and didn't see where she came from.

Fu Mingyue cleared her throat and said, "What are you arguing about here?" ”

"Niangniang," Fang Yi and Jixiang hurriedly came over and stood behind Fu Mingyue, and said to her: "These two people are really bold and rude, the slave was playing in the grass just now, and he suddenly went over to disturb our interest, and he wanted to drive us away!" ”

The two guards hurriedly knelt down and said: "Niangniang forgive me, my subordinates don't know that the two sisters are Niangniang's maids, but the water prison is really not allowed to play, so the subordinates will invite the two sisters to play elsewhere." ”

Fu Mingyue waved her hand helplessly and said, "That's it, it's just a trivial matter, this palace will not be held accountable, you two, go back with this palace." ”

Fang Yi and Ji Xiang responded, and left here with Fu Mingyue.
