Roujie in front of the Zichen Palace, is meeting the prince and his party, thinking that just after the palace discussion, ready to go to the Hanlin Academy to listen to the lecture, usually at this time, according to the usual queen will also leave such as He Shilang, Yuwen Gong and other close ministers to discuss, nearly noon, only a little free to ask about the rest of the affairs, Roujie judged the importance of the two affairs, and finally did not rush to know, until the goodbye hall, He Shilang and so on have also said goodbye, she only explained a few words to Jiang Huai, abandoned the idleness, and entered alone.

Get up early in the morning and be busy at this time, Eleven Niang didn't feel tired, just had to report, Xue Qian was responsible for the implementation of the new policy in Lingnan Road was not smooth, especially in recent times, the obstacles were even more than in the old years, which made her feel worried, but at this critical moment, He Zhan could not leave Beijing to help Xue Qian, although a few people were mentioned earlier, Eleven Niang felt that it was not very safe, so it was very troublesome.

didn't care about the idle left and right and had quietly retreated, until she was called by Roujie, and Eleven Niang came back to her senses.

"Your Royal Highness, after the Queen Mother summoned Xie Xiangguo, according to the report, Xie Xiangguo met with Yao Qian on the same day, but although the detectives kept an eye on these two people, they did not find any further moves." Roujie first took care of this matter.

"It's not to blame the people below." Eleven Niang sneered: "That Yao Qian, who was once a general's incompetence to resist the enemy, was extremely cautious in doing sneaky things, especially good at getting rid of ear and eye tracking." ”

Yao Qian is now deprived of the knighthood, demoted to a concubine, most of the family property has been confiscated, but he still has the secret support of the Queen Mother, Xie Raoping and other party members, the poor and luxurious life is not possible, but it will not lose its foothold in Chang'an, he still has the manpower left by the Queen Mother, and he can still serve the Queen Mother, but now as a concubine, of course, he is not qualified to enter and exit the palace, and the Queen Mother wants to instruct Yao Qian to act, whether it is through Xie Raoping or Wei Yuanping.

However, compared with Wei Yuanping, Xie Rao is more cautious in parallel affairs, such as Xie Raoping's mansion, although there are spies infiltrated by He Ye and Eleven Niang, but they can't get in touch with the secrets, unlike Wei Yuanping, what he eats three times a day, Eleven Niang can know everything about it.

It seems that Wei Haichi also knows that her brother can't be counted on, and confidential matters are still entrusted to Xie Raoping.

Although Eleven Niang couldn't detect the secret conversation between Wei Haichi and Xie Raoping, she could guess that she could not leave ten.

Wei Haichi is still not worried about the key figure of the Ram Clan, seeing that the restrictions are relatively lifted, he can't wait to let the party members be placed elsewhere, if it is not to kill people, it must be transferred to a place where Wei Haichi thinks it is safer, so that she can use it again, or when the situation is not good, she will be able to eliminate the future troubles in time.

Before He Ye left, he was not worried that the hidden danger of the Ram Clan had not been eradicated, and insisted on leaving Tian Bucha in the palace, that is, for the Ram One of those strange poison techniques that could not be prevented, he only brought Tian Bu Wedge himself, because these two senior brothers, in terms of medical attainments, Senior Brother Tian was better.

Although on the battlefield, especially the Turks, they are also accustomed to using poison techniques, but Tian Bu Wedge is already at ease against ordinary poison techniques, in contrast, He Ye thinks that the Ram Clan is still in Chang'an, and he is even more worried that Eleven Niang will be plotted because of the Hundred Secrets.

"Tell Concubine Shu and Zhaoyi that you must pay attention to food safety, and don't despise incense and candles and other things." Eleven Niang confessed.

I also listened to Roujie's report: "His Royal Highness asked the slave maid to pay attention to Xiao Cairen and Lu Nu's history, and there is also progress today, sure enough, there are foreign ministers who bribed the palace people, and asked Xiao Cairen to meet in Zichen Garden, but the slaves and maids are incompetent, and I don't know what to say between Xiao Cairen and the foreign ministers." ”

When Eleven Niang heard that Roujie actually sold Guanzi, she was puzzled and asked, "Who is the foreign minister?" ”

"Yes...... Young Eunuch Xiao. ”

It turned out to be Xiao Xiaojiu!!

Seeing the queen's solemn expression, Roujie soothed: "Young Eunuch Xiao is the brother of Xiao Cairen, Xu is because of the friendship between brothers and sisters, and only after a long time of absence, he made an appointment to visit Xiao Cairen to visit and advise, so as not to instruct Xiao Cairen to behave in any way that is unfavorable to His Highness." ”

It turned out that Roujie was misunderstanding Xiao gradually under the instruction, Xiao Caicai repeatedly confronted the queen, worried that the queen would be betrayed by relatives and friendship, and felt uncomfortable, of course, Roujie did not want Xiao Shaojian, who was quite trusted by the Son of Heaven, to secretly plot because of interests, so before reporting this progress, she inevitably had a good guess.

Eleven Niang said: "You don't know my ninth brother Xiao, I have never liked to associate with my sisters in the family, don't say that Nanqiao's blood is far apart, it is those sibling sisters, and the ninth brother rarely cares." ”

Not to mention that Xiao Xiaojiu has always acted a little unrestrained, if he really doesn't have other plans, even if Nan Qiao is different from the rest of the sisters, he will directly open his mouth to Eleven Niang, where can he act so sneakily?

"Your Highness is angry, maybe Young Eunuch Xiao is also because of the order of the elder, and he has no choice but to deal with it." Roujie said again.

Only then did Eleven Niang really understand Roujie's intentions, and said with a smile: "I don't think the ninth brother will be unfavorable to me, so you don't make a noise about this matter, and wait for me to try the ninth brother in person." ”

Immediately summoned Xiao Jiu.

He Ye was indeed appointed as the young eunuch of the palace as he wished, if He Ye was still in Chang'an, he could go in and out of the forbidden place with the car, only the Son of Heaven was not at home, and the queen has always paid attention to avoiding suspicion, so as not to involve relatives, friends and ministers to be slandered, and the gradual action is also restricted, although he often waits in the Zichen Palace, or accompanies the prince to listen to the lecture and ride the shooting, but like the vast majority of the forbidden garden, he can not single-handedly "rampage", so I see Nan Qiao privately, The only way to buy the palace people to ventilate the news and make an appointment to come to the flower garden outside the Zichen Palace, where close ministers and concubines can enter and exit.

I didn't want to be noticed by Eleven Niang immediately, and summoned him to come to ask, and gradually knew that I couldn't deny it, Hang Er Lang said: "I did see Sister Qiao, because of her brother, entrusted to visit, although I am impatient to take care of it, and I am tired of its entanglement, and only by being driven by this trip can I get purified." ”

"The ninth brother is so bold, he dares to bribe the palace people to see the concubine privately." Eleven Niang had a cold face.

Before she left an opinion and gradually said this, she subconsciously straightened her back, Xiao Jiu has had this habit of lying since she was a child, and even Xiao Shi knows it, so she naturally can't hide it from Eleven Niang.

"If it weren't for the eleventh sister being the queen and in charge of the harem, how could I have such boldness, and even if I did, it would not be so convenient." Gradually, he still didn't mind a tone: "Besides, where is Sister Qiao a concubine?" Even what the Son of Heaven looks like, she is not very afraid at this time, even if she meets her privately, the eleventh sister will not suspect that I want to use Sister Qiao to spy on the forbidden secret. ”

"I'm just wondering, I don't know when the ninth brother and Nan Qiao brothers and sisters got along so closely?"

"Where have I become close to them? I haven't seen each other a few times. Gradually subconsciously confessed, and suddenly realized the contradiction, and explained: "It's nothing more than Sister Qiao's brother, who has been entangled recently, and I have only met him a few more times." ”

is so rusty, how can you keep calling Sister Qiao?

Eleven Niang didn't bother to debunk it, so after this attempt, she concluded that Xiao Xiaojiu was the person behind Nan Qiao, and then paid more attention to the actions of the two.

He also said that he was gradually entering, and it was easy to "get through the tricks", and he was also in a cold sweat, but he did not dispel the plan that had been properly deployed, and because he had already been deployed, he no longer needed to meet Nan Qiao face-to-face, just waiting for the opportunity to come.

So in the Chang'an Palace, Nan Qiao suggested to the Queen Mother one day: "After the October Clothing Festival, the climate is colder and colder every day, seeing that the rain and snow are coming, and there is no time to play for fun, the concubine body and Lu Nushi, in order to fulfill the heart of filial piety, in one place in your free time, study the scorching blister technique, consciously still delicious, the concubine body thinks, while the rain and snow have not fallen, why not put a banquet in Zichen Garden, by the concubine body, Lu Nushi roasted delicious, presented to the Queen Mother to taste, enjoy a day of fun? ”

Nan Qiao and Lu Yuan are usually willing to accompany the banquet for fun, and many encourage the Queen Mother to drink and play, and specialize in such speculative and flattering things, this suggestion does not sound abrupt, and the Queen Mother does not think about it.

"What's wrong, why did you choose to be in Zichen Garden?" And that's all there is to it.

"By the Taiye Pool, everywhere in the garden, the concubines have seen everything, and there is only Zichen Garden...... In order to avoid the holy drive, he has never had a good life to play, Nan Qiao is selfish, thinking that he will miss the opportunity again, and when the saint returns to the palace, he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to enjoy it again. ”

Ren Yaoguang also joked: "Before the Holy Lord's expedition, the harem concubines Mo said that the banquet in Zichen Garden was to enjoy the garden scenery, and they were afraid of taking on the crime of flattery, and were reprimanded by the queen. ”

With such a shallow heart, Empress Dowager Wei didn't pay attention to it, she saw that big and small supporters were gearing up, and since she had decided to fight against the water, whether it was Jing Zhaoxiao or Jing Zhaolu, if she could win over the alliance, it would be beneficial and harmless, so she would also agree.

It's not that Empress Dowager Wei has no doubt about Nan Qiao and Lu Yuan, she only sets up a banquet in Zichen Imperial Garden, she has the respect of the Queen Mother, and she is not afraid that Eleven Niang will take advantage of the topic, so she thinks that Nan Qiao's suggestion is nothing more than to please and flatter her.

Therefore, on the day of Nan Qiao's selection, in Zichen Garden, a banquet was really held, but because it was not a festival and it was in the Imperial Garden, Empress Dowager Wei had no intention of making a big show, and did not invite another woman to pay tribute, so there were only Nan Qiao, Ren and others.

After the third round of drinking, Lu Yuan stopped paying first, claiming that he was going to "change clothes", and soon ran back in a panic, exclaiming that not far away, he actually saw a "ghost".

The Queen Mother laughed and reprimanded: "In this blue sky and day, where are the ghosts?" ”

Lu Yuan swore an oath: "The slave maid witnessed two women, who looked like concubines dressed up, one in red clothes, the other in green clothes, holding their arms together, one called another Sister Yun, and the other called another Adam, walking and walking, they turned into two white smokes, disappeared in front of them out of thin air, and after seeing the turquoise, the black shadows were like many people hiding in the middle!" ”

Ren Yaoguang didn't think much of this when he heard this, and he insisted: "Lu Nushi is really overdosed!" ”

Empress Dowager Wei was suspicious of a dark ghost.

Pei Hou Wudan loves red clothes, and the concubine Liu Yun is used to liking green skirts, but such as Lu Yuan, Nan Qiao, and even Ren's, they don't know much about the past of the harem.

The Queen Mother does not disbelieve in ghosts and gods, and is even more suspicious that there are ill-intentioned people who want to assassinate them!

You must know that this Zichen Garden, although it is in front of the Zichen Palace, but it still belongs to the harem range, even if there are close to the important ministers, enter the palace to discuss politics, and walk is also a road outside the garden, it is impossible to enter the Imperial Garden, so in addition to the access control, there are no palace guards in the garden, only occasionally patrolling, Lu Yuan witnesses those "ghosts", if it is not from the netherworld, it must be an assassin.

In the Ouchi, although it is a joke to be mixed into the assassins, but now the palace guards are in charge of the queen, and the Liu clan really has evil intentions......

It's a dangerous situation, but it's also a good opportunity!

was thinking about it, but saw that Ren had already stood up, she also drank too much today, she had a strong spirit, and it was a blue sky and daylight, so she insisted on going to the "haunted" place to inspect, which confirmed that Lu Yuan was making a fuss.

Empress Dowager Wei was verified by De Ren.

I didn't know it for a long time, and I faintly heard an exclamation!
