Bianliang City, Imperial Palace.

In Yanfu Palace, Renzong Zhao Zhen woke up once.

It happened that the maid Gao Taotao beside Queen Cao was waiting, so he didn't say anything about it, and when he saw the official family wake up, Gao Taotao said a news, that is, Su Shi captured the eighteen cities of Goryeo in order to force the king of Goryeo to move the capital to Jinju.

Zhao Zhen, who was in very bad health, heard this, and directly spat blood and fainted again. When the imperial doctor came, the caliber was very consistent, and the official family's body was even weaker.

The imperial doctors left with a worried face, and Queen Cao, who rushed over, also repelled everyone, leaving her niece Gao Taotao alone. "What did you say, this palace doesn't want to ask more, but this palace still wants to tell you, the current official family can't have an accident, let alone die, otherwise, the big position will only be inherited by Zhao Xi, if you want to see such a result, just use your means."

Empress Cao saw her careful thoughts, Gao Taotao changed her face and said, "Auntie, it's all Tao'er's fault, I won't dare in the future." ”

seems to know his niece very well, knowing that she is a woman who is as ambitious as himself, Cao Danshu sighed and said: "There is an old saying that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, you go back and think about it." By the way, this time Zhao Zongshi, the child, will come to the palace to serve the official's family, if you have nothing to do, you can accompany him more, and establish more personal feelings, the official family is here, you won't use it in the future. ”

"Yes, auntie." When she heard the news that Zhao Zongshi could enter the palace, Gao Taotao was still a little excited, but when she heard the latter sentence, she felt a slap in her heart, and she knew that the contradiction between herself and the queen was finally about to appear.

In the final analysis, Gao Taotao wants to put Zhao Zongshi on the throne, she can become the queen, and as long as she can suppress Zhao Zongshi, who has a somewhat weak personality, she may not be able to become a strong woman like Liu Moth or even Wu Zetian in the future.

But obviously, my aunt is also very strong. She seems to have become a strong woman like Liu Mo now, as long as Zhao Zhen does not die for a day, she can be in charge of the affairs of the court on behalf of the emperor.

One hopes that Zhao Zhen will die, and the other does not want him to die, and the contradiction will naturally arise.

But as Cao Danshu said, Zhao Zhen really can't die now, at least not before he has an heir. From this point of view, the two still have the possibility of cooperation.

The two with their own thoughts separated, and after seeing Gao Tao leave, Cao Danshu called another henchman, Fan Ying, over. "Remember, without the orders of the palace in the future, no one is allowed to approach the official family, even Gao Tao."

"The slave knows." After hearing this, Fan Ying was stunned at first, and then she was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly agreed.

After making some instructions, Empress Cao went to the front hall again, and now that the official family is not there, there are many things that she needs to discuss with the important ministers, and while she holds power, she can only give up the time she can only stay in the harem.

I thought that if I sent Gao Tao away, I could master the harem, but I didn't know that people's hearts were selfish.

Gao Tao has his ideas, her plans and plans for the future, why not Fan Ying?

can be favored by the queen and stay by her side as a confidant, how can there be a fool?

Even if Fan Ying originally had no ambitions, but after following Empress Cao's side for a long time, she naturally had ambitions and had her own ideas.

Empress Cao wanted to blackmail Renzong to order the court.

Gao Tao wants to climb up to Zhao Zongshi, a person who may become an official in the future, in order to achieve the goal of dominating the world.

What about her Fan Ying?

How is it possible to sit and watch her have a goal and a future, and do nothing by herself?

"I don't have a choice, King Jing, I hope you don't disappoint the slave family." Fan Ying, who was thinking like this in her heart, also set her own goal.

Shohito Palace.

Since Zhao Zhen fell ill, Zhao Xi has been under house arrest, and he has not even had the opportunity to leave the palace, even if he is studying, the teacher has come to teach, and he has really become a caged bird.

Zhao Xi was placed under house arrest in the palace and cut off all contact with the outside world. It has been a long time since a courtier has come to see him, even Pang Ji, the prime minister who has already bet on him, has not come.

Everything that happened in front of him made Zhao Xi hate others at the same time, and he also began to hate himself.

If he hadn't forced it, maybe Brother Su wouldn't have left.

If Brother Su is still there, where will there be a chance for these ghosts to jump out?

Brother Su, where are you?

Just as he was in the palace, a figure stumbled over not far away, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the slave has something important to report." ”

It was Zhang Xi, the chief eunuch beside Zhao Xi, who came, and he was also the most trusted person around Zhao Xi now.

"Come, let's say inside." Zhao Xi, who was standing in the courtyard, looked left and right, although there was still no one, but for the sake of safety, he still decided to go into the back room to talk. From this point of view, Zhao Xi has finally grown up a little bit, and he also has the quality that an emperor should have, that is, he doubts everything.

The inner hall of Zhaoren Palace, where Zhao Xi usually rests, when there is no one else here, Zhang Xi, who has a hint of excitement on his face, told him about the secret meeting with Fan Ying.

This morning, Zhang Xi went out of the palace to the back kitchen to stare at King Jing's meal, but he didn't want to see Fan Ying, the queen's maid next to him, who also came to get the meal.

As a eunuch, Zhang Xi naturally knows that this woman is now very valued and trusted by Queen Cao, and basically she has the final say in the affairs of the harem now. In line with the principle of hating Wu and Wu, Zhang Xi didn't want to give him a good look. Unexpectedly, people took the initiative to post it, and when no one paid attention to them, they said a very important thing, Zhao Zongshi, who was almost made a prince, was about to enter the palace.

Few people know this news now, and Zhang Xi was also taken aback when he heard it.

Although the official family is sick now, as the chief eunuch beside Zhao Xi, Zhang Xi has never been too worried.

Without it, the official family only has an only son like King Jing, if something happens to him, normally speaking, isn't it just that Zhao Xi will take over as the unification? At that time, his status will naturally rise.

At one time, Zhang Xi was also selfishly thinking that maybe the official family was not in good health, and it was not a bad thing for him and His Royal Highness King Jing.

But now, after hearing the news that Fan Ying said that Zhao Zongshi was about to enter the palace, he became completely uncalm.

What's the matter, isn't His Royal Highness King Jing the successor to the future throne?

If this is the case, then isn't His Royal Highness King Jing dangerous, and isn't he himself dangerous?

Just when Zhang Xi was a little ownerless, Fan Ying opened her mouth again to say that she supported King Jing, and King Jing was the only heir of the official family, so he should be the most upright prince. For the orthodoxy of Zhao Song, she is willing to do her best to help, and she herself has admired King Jing for a long time, the age difference between the two is only five years, not very big, as long as King Jing does not give up, she is willing to do her best to help, and follow her all her life.

As a confidant and maid beside Queen Cao, she took such a fancy to her Royal Highness, which made Zhang Xi a little surprised.

However, what surprised him even more was that Fan Ying still wanted to become the concubine of His Royal Highness, was this ambition too great.

can take a closer look at Fan Ying, this is indeed a beauty, just because everyone usually doesn't have too much interaction and doesn't pay too much attention.

It's just that no matter whether Fan Yingmei is beautiful or not, such a major event is not something that Zhang Xi can call the shots, and after the two agreed on the time of the next meeting, Zhang Xi hurried back to Zhaoren Palace, and he naturally wanted to report such a major event to His Royal Highness.

"Absurd, presumptuous, arrogant, bold."

Hearing that Fan Ying actually wanted to marry herself as a concubine, Zhao Xi broke out instantly.

What is he?

The only son of the Son of Heaven, the ironclad future heir of Zhao Song.

His wife should have been the most beautiful person in the world, and she should also be the person he likes.

What is Fan Ying, let's not talk about the background of a handmaiden, she is five years older than herself. And most importantly, he is the most trusted person around Empress Cao, so why should he believe her words?

Who can be sure that this is not a conspiracy by Empress Cao?

Maybe it's just to let this Fan Ying confuse herself? And then let yourself make wrong judgments and wrong decisions, and then you can find your own sore feet and give yourself a heavy blow?

Besides, a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals actually takes the initiative to ask for her husband, and what she asks for is Zhao Songwei's first prince, what is this woman not bold, what is it if she is not arrogant?

At this moment, Zhao Xi shook his head like a rattle, and even he wanted to cure the other party's delusional sin.

But after a while, after he slowly calmed down, Zhao Xi had to face up to the situation in front of him, that is, he was the only prince, but at the same time, he was also an abandoned prince.

There are no close ministers around him, and even the palace gate can't take a step, even if there is a gentleman who teaches him, when he dares to ask about things outside, the gentlemen are also silent, and let him study hard.

Studying and studying, even the big position will be taken away, and the life will be insecure, what is the use of studying?

If it is really as Fan Ying said, her cousin Zhao Zongshi has entered the palace and can stay by his father's side to serve, then there is really nothing to do with himself?

Do you want to accept your fate?

Do you want to watch your own benefits being taken away by others?

No, absolutely not.

He, Zhao Xi, is a descendant of Zhao Song, and he is still a descendant, he must not watch the country being taken away by others.

You have to fight back.

In order to take away everything you have, it's just to marry a woman you don't like, so what's the point?

"Zhang Xi, in this way, don't rush to answer her first, and take a look at the situation first, to see if that Zhao Zongshi will appear in the harem. If not, then she deceived me, and such a woman should be killed. If so, it's not too late for us to contact her at that time. ”

Zhao Xi quickly made a decision, but until there was no solid news, he would not agree to cooperate with Fan Ying.

"Yes, slave maid understands." Zhang Xi nodded in agreement. If everything is as Fan Ying said, then it is impossible for His Highness to cooperate here.
