Just as Han Ji guessed, the rumors did not stop because of the real murderer's subjugation, but became more and more exaggerated.

Chunxi always smiled bitterly, their eloquence is really good, and their ability to imagine and make up stories is too great. I don't know how long it will take and when it will gradually be forgotten and no longer mentioned.

The palace returned to its former peace, and occasionally a few palace maids could be heard pointing at them, as if there was nothing else to make them happy for a day.

Half a month has passed, and Chunxi finally went to see Wan Guifei, and the two chatted privately for a long time.

and retreated everyone, even Yun Concubine was turned away.

"Niangniang, Sister Rong has already told me everything that happened two years ago. I'm sure she told you too, I don't mind. Chun Xi was straightforward, saying this, but remembering the words of Rong Guiren that day, he still has lingering palpitations. Who knows when this Wan Guifei won't have another problem to embarrass herself and put herself in trouble?

But when she thought of her plan, Chunxi felt that she should be relieved, after all, what happened didn't hurt her in the end. If you want to cooperate, you must first eliminate the dissatisfaction of both parties.

"I've always felt guilty about this." I only heard that Concubine Wan's voice was a little choked, and she couldn't tell whether it was true or false. At this moment, she really hoped that Han Ji would be present, so that she could see Wan Guifei's heart at a glance.

When she thought of Han Ji, she felt proud again, and she really admired Han Ji's ability to look at people, as if she only needed to say a few words and see what people had done, she could understand whether that person was good or bad.

When Concubine Wan saw that she didn't speak, she thought she was a little angry, but she didn't know that she was wandering. I only heard Concubine Wan say again: "I didn't mean to hurt you, so I'm also very grateful that you didn't stand by Concubine Tong's side later." If Shu Sleeve wasn't Concubine Tong's person, you would have suspected me a long time ago. ”

Chunxi came back to her senses, heard her words, and smiled slightly: "Not really." In fact, I have always had a good impression of Niangniang, and I have never regarded Niangniang as an enemy. As a human being, these reasons should be attributed to Sister Yun. I trust her and know that she is good to me, so I am willing to trust that she will not hurt me. ”

Concubine Wan nodded: "Yunyue is much better to you than my own sister." ”

"Niangniang, in fact, with your identity, you don't have to let Sister Yun enter the palace anymore. Why? Why let her enter the palace? Although Sister Yun didn't mention it, I knew that she had a hard time in her heart. She is not happy in the palace, and even the emperor's favor is not uncommon. It's out of place here. Since Yun Concubine was mentioned, Chunxi couldn't help but think of all her doubts about her.

Concubine Wan took a deep breath and said helplessly: "That's a choice that has no choice." I want to give her freedom and joy, but I can't do that. ”

"Why?"

"On the surface, I am still beautiful, but now I am a concubine, holding the phoenix seal on behalf of her, and the power of the six palaces. But in fact, since the death of my Amma, my family has been declining day by day. Now it's just a superficial scenery, but in fact it's already vulnerable. Concubine Wan paused, and then said, "Do you know why Concubine Tong has not fought with me?" Did you even give up the position of concubine? ”

Chun Xi didn't understand what she meant. Give it up? Concubine Tong really didn't seem to say anything about this matter at the beginning. Although there was a lot of uproar after the court was sealed, the Tong family did not point out that they would make Concubine Tong the queen. Even later, when Concubine Wan was named a noble concubine and took charge of the phoenix seal, no one from the Tong family stood up to stop her.

Seeing her doubts, Concubine Wan said again: "Then do you know that the current Queen Mother is not the emperor's biological mother?" ”

Chun Xi nodded: "I know, the emperor's mother died less than two years after he ascended the throne." The current queen mother is the empress of the first emperor and the emperor's mother-in-law. This matter is not a secret, and she has heard Xuan Ye mention it herself.

"Then you also know who the emperor's biological mother is, right?"

What did she mean by asking?

Seeing that Chunxi didn't talk, Concubine Wan said again: "The emperor's biological mother is called Tong Siyu, who is Tong Guowei's sister and Tong Ruofei's aunt. ”

She understood at once, she had heard of it before, but she had never thought about it carefully. I only knew that Concubine Tong was the emperor's cousin, but now that I heard Concubine Wan mention this, I completely understood what she was afraid of.

Concubine Tong's relationship will not be erased no matter what, the Tong family will only become more and more prosperous, Tong Guowei is already in power, and he is naturally undefeated. Coupled with his protégés, the people who are attached to him, the sum of the bits and pieces is unshakable.

No wonder Concubine Tong disdains the position of concubine, what she wants is the back position. As long as there is no queen, she doesn't have to be afraid of Concubine Wan. In the family world, Wan Guifei has already been suppressed, as long as she secretly moves her hands and feet, this Wan Guifei will not be able to threaten her at all.

So why did she deal with herself? Chun Xi was puzzled. But if you think about it, you can figure it out.

She has always helped Concubine Wan, and even her promotion to concubine is indispensable for her contributions. And in addition to being favored, he can speak in front of the emperor and his ancestors, and he has a good reputation for the people in the palace, especially the palace maids and eunuchs. Like the people in the Qianqing Palace, the imperial dining room and other places like her very much. Such influence has brought huge pressure to Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong should be afraid that she would help Concubine Wan deal with her, so that the back position that she had at her fingertips would become someone else's. Therefore, he got rid of himself first, and let Wan Guifei have no backup. In this way, she is still hopeful for this posterior.

Chun Xi couldn't help but feel funny, this Concubine Tong's mind was really terrible. I was able to think of everything first, and it was arranged seamlessly. Dig the pit and just wait for them to jump into it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I heard Concubine Wan say: "Actually, I realized it very early, and I don't care if Concubine Tong's status is above me, but my family doesn't allow it." I, Amma, was one of the four auxiliary ministers of the year, and I was also in power for a while. Since I entered the palace, I have had the upper hand everywhere. Even if I, Amma, die, the power of the six houses is still in my hands. But there will always be a day when the stars will change. Concubine Tong's forbearance has always been suppressed by me, how can she not hate?

After so many years, she finally waited until the queen died, and finally waited until her Tong family's power was huge, and my Niu Hulu family was declining day by day. Such a great opportunity, she naturally will not let it go. ”

"Niangniang, why worry? Since she has been suppressed by you, this time is no exception. Chun Xi suddenly smiled, this Concubine Tong has been suppressed for so many years, is it really just now that she has found the time? I'm afraid that this timing was managed by herself.

"What do you mean?" Concubine Wan was puzzled and looked at her suspiciously.

"Niangniang told me so much today, in fact, she just wanted Chunxi to help you. But now that people are soft-spoken, I'm afraid they won't be able to help their mother. Concubine Tong is certainly ambitious, but she really doesn't want it? Still don't dare to ask for it? ”

Concubine Wan's words shocked Concubine Wan, she was indeed not as great as she said. Who wouldn't want to have such a big temptation as the back position? She is now a concubine, and she is in charge of everything. In the past three years, she has become accustomed to such a life. Is it really going to be turned over by Concubine Tong and trampled under her feet? Naturally, she was unwilling.

"You're right, I want to be in the back position, and I also want to have another fight with Concubine Tong."

Seeing that Concubine Wan admitted what she thought in her heart, Chun Xi also smiled: "That's good, don't give up easily." ”

"Will you help me?" Concubine Wan asked tentatively.

"Chun Xi is indeed soft-spoken, but at least, he can speak best in front of the emperor. Besides, the ancestor doesn't necessarily like Concubine Tong. Chun Xi smiled, with her understanding of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tong was not favored. This position is not something that anyone with huge power in the court can do.

In terms of scheming, Concubine Wan is indeed inferior to Concubine Tong. But in this posterior position, Concubine Wan is indeed more suitable than Concubine Tong.

Years of careful planning can't withstand a single change.

Chunxi just wants Concubine Tong to taste, get out of her own plan, and see how sad she is when she fails.

"So, you came to me today with the intention of forming an alliance with me?" Concubine Wan was almost certain that she was happy in her heart. With the guarantee of Chunxi, it can be said that it is twice the result with half the effort. also thought that her previous mistakes made her feel guilty, and she was unwilling to help again.

"If you want to think so, you can do it." Chun Xi nodded: "I just don't want the person I kneel down to at the Sealing Ceremony is Tong Ruofei." ”

"So, you already have a plan?"

"If I'm not mistaken, someone will make a suggestion to the emperor next month, and the emperor will have no reason to refuse what is being established. When the time comes, you and Concubine Tong will be the best candidates, and they will definitely be divided into two factions. Think about it, with the current power of the Tong family, there must be more people in the DPRK and China who support Concubine Tong. ”

"That's right, I'm worried about that, too." Concubine Wan nodded, agreeing with her words.

Chun Xi smiled again: "Rest assured, these supporters will not support her forever." ”

It is not easy to make the people who support Concubine Tong defect. Although Concubine Wan didn't know what the plan in her heart was, it could be seen that she was so confident and a little difficult. I have no choice but to believe in her at the moment.

Chunxi briefly talked about her plan, but she didn't reveal the important part. After calming Concubine Wan's heart, she returned to Yikun Palace.

She ordered Mu Hui to bring news to Han Ji and Lan Xin successively, and things could begin.

All we have to do now is wait. The boat waiting for Concubine Tong to take the helm capsized by herself.

Take precautions, but it's not her Concubine Tong alone. Let her taste the bitter fruit this time.

The gentleness and kindness on the surface can't hide the evil in the heart. Han Ji said that if you want to deal with such a person, you can only compare who is ruthless.
