Mrs. Zheng took Fusu back to her original seat.

On the surface.

The conversation between Mrs. Zheng and the Empress Dowager Huayang just now was just an ordinary exchange.

But which of these guests present today is not a human spirit, and how can he not notice the-for-tat between Mrs. Zheng and the Empress Dowager Huayang just now.

However, what makes everyone a little strange is that Mrs. Zheng and the Empress Dowager Huayang are both from the Chu royal family, and they still have blood ties with each other.

Could it be that the status of the eldest son was improved after the 'prison of the country', so Mrs. Zheng was ready to challenge the status and rights of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and then sit in the position of the 'master of the harem'?

In the minds of many guests, this seems to be the only reasonable guess.

But in fact, the real inside story is completely different from what everyone imagined.

It wasn't Mrs. Zheng who stopped Fusu just now, it wasn't that she wanted to do it, but she had to do it. Just now, the Empress Dowager Huayang asked Fusu to pass, it seems that it was just for the love of her ancestors and grandchildren, but in fact, the real purpose of the Empress Dowager Huayang is to keep Fusu away from Mojun.

Changping Jun's 'Prince Plan' is not a plan that can be completed in a short period of time, and once implemented, it is very likely to be a protracted war that will last for more than ten years or even decades.

During the period of Yingzheng's imperial expedition, what Changping Jun had to do was first to plant a 'seed' in Fusu's heart.

But this 'seed' is not easy to plant.

If you want to successfully implant this 'seed' in the heart of Fusu, who is still young, there are three people in Xianyang now, and he will definitely not be able to get around.

One is the Empress Dowager Huayang.

The second is Mrs. Zheng.

The third is Mojun.

The first two need Changping Jun to co-opt and cooperate, and Mo Jun is the biggest obstacle.

As a doctor of imperial history, Mo Jun was originally a 'defense' left by Yingzheng, if Fusu could not be kept away from Mo Jun's interference, then Changping Jun's plan would naturally be difficult to implement.

But the problem is that now Changpingjun and Mojun are at the same level, and the two have fought with each other many times, Changpingjun naturally understands how difficult this seemingly young opponent in front of him is.

If Changpingjun is allowed to do it himself, maybe when the front-line battle is over and Yingzheng has returned to Xianyang, he won't be able to deal with Mojun.

So in the end, Changping Jun decided to ask the Empress Dowager Huayang to take action.

However, Changpingjun did not tell the Empress Dowager Huayang about his plan for the time being, because although the Empress Dowager Huayang was biased towards 'the relatives of Chu', she might not agree to this kind of almost rebellious behavior.

Wooing Mrs. Zheng and the Empress Dowager Huayang, at least Changpingjun's plan will not start until it has been carried out to a certain extent.

And this time, the reason why he asked the Empress Dowager Huayang to make a move was just to use the excuse that 'the relationship between Fusu and Mojun is too close', and he moved the Empress Dowager Huayang.

After all, with the current relationship between the 'Chu foreign relatives and Mo Jun', the Empress Dowager Huayang took action against Mo Jun, and there was no need for a reason at all.

The Empress Dowager Huayang's move just now was just a test before making a move.

But no one thought of it.

Madame Zheng reacted so violently.

"Have you found it yet?"

Mo Jun sat next to Fusu, looking at Mrs. Zheng's behavior just now, and knew in his heart that Mrs. Zheng had seen through part of Yingzheng's layout.

However, he was not too surprised, after all, before this, Ying Zheng had already given Mrs. Zheng a lot of hints.

For example: Fusu himself got the news in advance that he was going to 'prison the country'.

These are actually some hints that Ying Zheng gave to Mrs. Zheng and Fusu indirectly through Mojun.

If it weren't for these hints, how could Mrs. Zheng have lived in the harem for a long time, how could she see through this chess game that even the Empress Dowager Huayang and Changping Jun have not seen through?

As for why Yingzheng did this?

This is probably Yingzheng's last bit of mercy, or ambivalence.

The chess game laid out by Yingzheng before leaving included Changping Jun, Empress Dowager Huayang, Fusu, and Mrs. Zheng, and even Mo Jun was also in this chess game.

Among the four, Ying Zheng can cut off his feelings with Changping Jun and the Empress Dowager Huayang.

But he couldn't cut his feelings with Fusu and Mrs. Zheng.

Ultimately.

Ying Zheng is a person after all, not a machine.

So in this contradiction of wanting to get the 'result of the test' but not wanting to see the 'worst ending', Ying Zheng finally chose to secretly give Fusu and Mrs. Zheng a hint before the test began.

And from Mrs. Zheng's reaction just now, it can be seen that Mrs. Zheng obviously saw something.

And that's exactly what happened.

In fact, as early as before, after getting the news from Fusu that Fusu was going to 'prison the country', Mrs. Zheng already had a lot of doubts in her heart.

For example:

Why did Ying Zheng discuss this matter with Mo Jun?

You must know that at that time, Fusu was studying in Mojun's mansion, and Yingzheng discussed this kind of thing with Mojun, isn't it obvious that Mojun will tell Fusu?

In addition, why did Yingzheng choose to consult with Mo Jun instead of Changping Jun?

In terms of intimacy alone, although Mojun has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the court, Changping Jun Xiong Qi is a 'relative' after all, and he is a 'self-family', like this kind of thing, shouldn't 'self-family' be more trustworthy?

Is this because Mojun is more trustworthy?

Or······ Changpingjun is no longer trustworthy?

······

After realizing this at that time, Mrs. Zheng felt a chill inexplicably.

And when she later heard that Mo Jun and Xiong Qi were promoted at the same time, serving as the 'Right Prime Minister' and the 'Imperial Doctor' respectively, the creepy feeling suddenly became even stronger.

In the eyes of others.

Ying Zheng promoted Mojun and Xiong Qi to the position of 'Three Princes', which seems to be just for the balance of power.

However, in the eyes of Mrs. Zheng at that time, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Mo Jun's 'Imperial Doctor' was not to balance Xiong Qi, but more like a heavy insurance.

Contacting some anomalies that Mrs. Zheng had noticed before, an extremely terrifying guess instantly surfaced in Mrs. Zheng's mind.

It was precisely because of this speculation in her heart that Mrs. Zheng made such a drastic move just now.

After all, if her guess just now is correct, it means that in the next period of time, once her choice is wrong, maybe she, Fusu, Changping Jun, and even including the Empress Dowager Huayang, everyone will fall into a place of no return.

This game under Ying Zheng is too ruthless and ruthless.

Even so ruthless that Mrs. Zheng felt that she couldn't recognize Yingzheng anymore.

Even until now.

Although Mrs. Zheng was calm on the surface, her palms were already covered with beads of sweat.

In fact, so far, Mrs. Zheng is not sure whether her guess is correct, but she does not dare to gamble on this game, and she can't afford to gamble.
