It has already entered autumn, the camphor cypress in the Zichen Hall is still green, the Huaiwu in Chang'an City has quietly fallen, and the wind is swept everywhere, so the gray Ai Dao on the green tile increases the color of bright gold, compared with the purple and red in spring, Chang'an City at this time is a kind of style outside the other, so although the weather is cold day by day, the literati and the rangers refuse to be silent, and are still keen to enjoy the scenery and the garden, and the business of the large and small wine shops distributed in the three streets and two cities is still thriving.

A long time has passed since noon, and there are still three or two tables of diners in this Changhuai Pavilion located in Huaide Fang, the small case in the corner, the man with a white face has obviously drunk his tongue wide, and the thin and tall man sitting across the desk from him is still persuading him to drink diligently, and he can't stop saying flattering words, but listening carefully, he asks two daily chores from time to time.

From the words of the "white face", it is enough to hear that he seems to be the manager of a certain high-ranking family, and although the "thin and tall man" talks a lot, he does not reveal his identity in his words.

However, the "white face" and the "thin and tall man" are obviously old acquaintances, and they know each other well, not new friends.

When he was busy talking, he suddenly ran in, looked around, and saw that the "white face" seemed to be relieved, and he stepped forward and shouted a few "stewards", and finally let the "white face" look at him, and the little Xi slave smiled ashamedly at the "thin and tall one", and reported: "The person in the Xie Xiang's mansion came to the door again, although he knew that Si Cheng was not at home, he refused to give up, and had to stay in the gatehouse and wait......"

"Bai Jingmian" waved his hand angrily: "Si Cheng and he can't rest for a few days, let him wait, I don't have the leisure to entertain such villains, it's really funny, I think that what kind of place is Pu Zhai, it is a gift for money, how can I go back!" It's just blackmail, wouldn't the dignified government act like this, wouldn't it be laughable? ”

Xiao Xi Nu agreed and ran away one after another, and the "thin and tall" asked curiously, "Is what Brother Tai said just now?" I don't want such a strange thing in the world, the dignified prime minister's mansion actually blackmails money and gifts, which is the private behavior of domestic slaves, and Xie Xiangguo can't escape the fallacy of not being strict. ”

"Bai Jing Face" grinned, and his face was even more disdainful: "What kind of private behavior of a house slave is clearly sent by Gong Xie." ”

"Thin and tall" is even more rare: "It's unlikely, although Duke Xie is not as powerful as Xie Xiang, but he is also the father of Concubine Shu, and he is actually ...... How can this be done? ”

"My brother is not an outsider, and I am not afraid to say a few words to you as a brother, it was the matter of Concubine Shu asking my family to be Si Cheng, but I don't know that the matter is over, Concubine Shu also said that it was not in line with her wishes, and she actually asked her mother's family to ask for money and gifts."

As for what Concubine Shu asked for, "Bai Jing Face" did not elaborate further, and the "thin and tall man" no longer got to the bottom of the matter, and persuaded the wine more diligently, and finally put down the "Bai Jing Face" completely, and the "thin and tall man" personally sent the "Bai Jing Face" back to the private house that Ye Tingcheng bought outside the palace, and took a long breath: Since receiving the Fourteen Lang to explain this errand, how much effort has been wasted, and no less than five or six meals of wine have been invited, and finally this "joke" has been set out in the mouth of Park Yonghu's slave.

"Thin and tall" went straight back to the Enhou Mansion, and hurriedly told Yuankang about this matter: "San Lang once told his servants to make a lot of friends with the housekeeper of the house, and the servants established a relationship with the steward of the court a few years ago, and when I was drinking with him today, I heard about this strange incident, but unfortunately I never asked Concubine Ming Shu what she asked for the court, and why she regretted it, so that she asked for the financial gift." ”

Concubine Xian's instigation of Concubine Shu and Concubine Guifei to fight each other in the palace was out of Qiao Jiao's idea, because he did not discuss it with his family, Yuankang didn't know the news that Shi Niang was trapped in a violent room, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with Concubine Shu and Ye Tingcheng for a while, but in line with the principle of prudence, he still told Enhou, and Enhou himself had no ability, but fortunately there was a shrewd and capable brother, so Yuan Dezhi After a very targeted investigation, it was not difficult to find out which of the affairs that Ye Tingcheng had recently handled was closely related to Concubine Shu.

"So, Concubine Shu actually bribed Ye Tingcheng with the intention of framing the daughter of the Liu family?" When Enhou heard the result, his mind was still full of questions: "She is a concubine, why does she not want to go with a little girl, and she does not hesitate to buy Ye Tingcheng, is it just to let Liu's daughter be detained in the violent room for a few days?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Yuan Dezhi's mind is really much wiser than his brother, and after a little analysis, he figured out the context: "I'm afraid that I want to use the slander of Empress Pei to sow discord, and the person who is really targeted is the concubine." ”

He Enhou suddenly realized and shook his head: "Heng and Zhi have nothing to do with Concubine Xian." ”

Yuan Dezhi smiled coldly: Ju Shinan has already done a great job, I am afraid that Concubine Shu would never dream of how much storm she would set off by spreading rumors, the concubine is not afraid, the only person who can "compete for favor" with the concubine is the concubine, although this woman is not liked by the queen mother, but her mind is indeed more shrewd than the concubine, otherwise why would the queen mother hand over the affairs of the harem to the lady and abandon the concubine? Keep Concubine Shu, I'm afraid that I will still fight with Concubine Xian in the future, so it's better to use this opportunity to cut it down!

However...... Concubine Shu is Xie Xiang's niece in the end, and Yuan Dezhi has some concerns about throwing rats.

He also said that as soon as Yuankang heard his father talk about this, he turned his head and was provoked by his henchman "thin and tall", and his eyes immediately lit up, and he analyzed it in front of his parents: "If there is anyone in the harem who can compete with Sister A except for Concubine Shu?" If Sister Ah can be in charge of the harem, it will be very convenient for Aya or her uncle, although this matter will cause Xie Xiang to be dissatisfied, but it is more beneficial than covered, Concubine Shu relies on the support of the family, and offends Sister A, Sister Ah has long been on fire in her heart, if she can get rid of Concubine Shu this time, Sister Ah can also raise her eyebrows. ”

Mrs. Hou already cherished Concubine Xian, she was a woman from a small squire family, and she didn't have much foresight, and when she heard that it would be beneficial to her daughter, she hurriedly agreed, but Enhou still knew how to reach a consensus with her brother first, so she turned around and discussed with Yuan Dezhi.

Yuan Dezhi still felt hesitant, but because of the relationship between his former colleagues and masters, Qiao Ling also heard about it from the mouth of his old friend "thin and tall", and immediately suggested to Yuan Dezhi: "Seeing that the Queen Mother is unstoppable, and Wang Xiangguo has already made a decision, Yuan Gong will inevitably take over Shang Shuling, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the political hall to worship the prime minister. Even Mao Xiangguo, because of Jing Zhaoyin's deposition, didn't he also have a grudge against Xie Xiang? If it weren't for Xie Xiang's indiscriminate moves, how could Mao Xiangguo have been arrested by Dou Attendant and the evidence is conclusive? ! If Xie Xiangguo really has the heart to help, how can he see Jingzhao Yin blocking the crime in vain, either Xie Xiangguo is selfish and only trying to protect himself, or he is clumsy, according to the following, Mao Xiangguo and Yuan Gong may have overestimated Xie Xiangguo's position in the heart of the Queen Mother. ”

Xie Rao's parallel things looked forward and backward and begged for wind comments, which really made Yuan Dezhi lose his appetite a long time ago, back then, everyone was one heart to assist the Queen Mother, who was not for glory, wealth, and power? Xie Raoping is obsessed with the name of integrity, in order to maintain his reputation as a famous family, and he actually reprimanded himself for those hidden fields to bribe money and sternly reprimanded himself, it is simply inexplicable, to talk about it, his own credit may not be less than Xie Raoping, there is really no need to look up to people everywhere!

Yuan Dezhi was just said by Qiao Ling's words, and he made a painful decision for a while, and asked his brother to immediately arrange for his sister-in-law to enter the palace, and share the plan with Concubine Xian in detail, but he didn't know that Concubine Xian was originally harmful to people, and he participated in it early, although he was disappointed when he found that Eleven Niang was unharmed, but he was reminded by Qiao Jiao, and then he suddenly woke up - it was Liu Yishui who turned the danger into a disaster, and the fact that he was framed by Concubine Shu and designed to be trapped in a violent room was indeed happening, although Concubine Shu was missing a crime of mutilating a noble girl, it was even more a crime to slander the queen for spreading rumors, You only need to buy Park Yonghu as a witness and change the object of the complaint to the Son of Heaven!

But where did the master and servant of Concubine Yuanxian think that Park Yonghu had perfunctorily agreed to Concubine Shu after listening to the order of the Queen Mother, even though he was greedy for money, how could he dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order? Knowing that the Queen Mother had decided to settle the matter, how could she be easily bought by Concubine Xian, so she naturally categorically refused, and Concubine Xian had nothing to do.

When Concubine Xian heard that her uncle had promised to help, she was so frustrated that she simply agreed, and asked Mrs. Hou to tell her uncle to act quickly, and she waited for the news, and she would cooperate in the palace when the time came.

"This matter needs to be hidden from the Queen Mother for the time being, otherwise the Queen Mother will inevitably shield Concubine Shu, it is best not to even come forward with you, only hand over the evidence of the crime to the Holy Lord, or you can use Qin Sang, in short, act at the opportunity." Mrs. Hou did not forget to advise.

Because Yuan Dezhi has repeatedly confessed, it is best not to clash with Concubine Shu face to face, as long as the saint does not let go, Concubine Shu will be difficult to get out, in fact, Yuan Dezhi still has a layer of prevention, that is, he himself will not come forward at all, even if there is an omission, Xie Raoping asked him can also say that he does not know, in this way, the Queen Mother will only think that it is the dispute between Xie and Yuan and the second concubine, and will not doubt this aspect of infighting. I didn't even think about taking it all.

Although you can't be completely afraid of risks, like Xie Raoping, you can't be cautious and cautious.

And where did Yuan Dezhi think that Concubine Shu had also sharpened her knife against Concubine Xian at this time, once the matter was triggered, it would be impossible to retreat, in the design of Eleven Niang, how could the Yuan family always hide behind the scenes and quietly benefit!
