Fang Ruo's eyes lit up, "Princess, have you already thought of a plan to punish Wan Niang?" Your wisdom is getting better and better now, and the slaves and maids admire it very much, just like the strategy of punishing King Zhao, you are all divine..."

Xu Jinrou pointed at Fang Ruo with her fingers, "This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future, it is easy to attract death." ”

Fang Ruo stuck out her tongue.

Xu Jinrou knew that in addition to punishing Wan Niang now, she also had to take precautions and prepare to deal with Marshal Du's wife, Shangguan Peiyun, the eldest princess of Great Chu.

Shangguan Peiyun will soon know that she was not poisoned, and then I am afraid that she will have to find an opportunity to attack her again, and it is not pleasant to be worried about her all the time, and because of Shangguan Peiyun's status, even Liu Rentu can't help her, this matter really needs to be carefully considered.

Now through Wan Niang's actions, it can be inferred that Yuwen Canglan is also involved, which is even more difficult to do.

Yuwen Peiyun still has scruples in acting, even if he wants to kill her, he will do it quietly and secretly, but Yuwen Canglan is different, he is very likely to play his cards not according to common sense, and adopt a barbaric and direct way, his identity is the prince of the Western Barbarian Kingdom, and it is definitely not a wise move to be tough and tough.

Yuwen Peiyun didn't mean to harm her at the beginning, but the last time she went to the banquet, she was poisoned, in addition to Yuwen Canglan's sake, it should also be related to the child in the womb, although there are many cover-ups, but there will still be people who associate this child with Liu Rentu, some people in Xiban don't want Liu Rentu to have a child, Xu Jinrou, who has lived a lifetime, knows about it.

Two heavyweights of the Western Barbarian Kingdom are going to attack her and the child in this womb, and she needs to deal with it carefully.

How to break the game? Xu Jinrou needs to think carefully.

The next day, Qingluan went to the cold palace, and she came back and told Xu Jinrou that she couldn't blend into the cold palace this time, because in the past few days, someone from the queen's faction has secretly stared at Shen Ningyan to observe whether Shen Ningyan will be touched by Feng Haohao's head, and from the news she has heard so far, even if Shen Ningyan says that she is not crazy, no one will believe it.

Hearing Qingluan mention that Shen Ningyan ate the meat on Feng Haohao's head, Xu Jinrou felt sick to her stomach for a while, she hadn't vomited for a long time, and this time she almost vomited out all the bitter gall, which made Qingluan repeatedly blame herself.

Xu Jinrou knew that Shen Ningyan would definitely not live after taking revenge.

Xu Jinrou was about to go to see the queen and then when she left the palace, she heard the news that Li Biqing, the teacher of the workshop, had died tragically in the Internal Criminal Division.

She sighed for a while, why didn't she notice the ruthlessness of the queen in her last life? It may be that she is willing, hard-working and resentful, and she doesn't need to show this side to the queen in front of her.

At this time, Xiao Xuanzi came to report, and Wei Cairen in the palace came to Ziyunxuan to ask to see Princess Jin.

Wei Cairen's name is Wei Yirong, Wei Cairen was not favored when the emperor was there, and because of this, a series of purge activities in the palace of the queen did not affect her.

Wei Cairen has no heirs, she also has an identity as the aunt of the crown princess Li Bilan, and she usually does not have much contact with Xu Jinrou, Xu Jinrou usually calls her aunt along the relationship with the crown princess.

Wei Cairen is now nearly forty years old, but his appearance is still dignified and beautiful, and he looks like he is in his thirties.

After entering Ziyunxuan and taking a seat, Wei Cairen looked Xu Jinrou up and down,

"Although Princess Jin is pregnant, there is no change, she is still so handsome, she looks good, and this child should be healthy."

Xu Jinrou smiled and nodded, "Thank you aunt for your concern, I just checked it not long ago, and this child is indeed very good now." ”

"Hey, my aunt can't have any more children in this life, and now that Bilan is such a relative, and she has encountered such an annoying thing, my aunt and I are so worried, I don't know how to talk about it."

"The crown princess is just grounded, and when the queen's anger subsides, it should be fine." Xu Jinrou comforted.

"Jinrou, I came to see you, I guess you have guessed what happened, Bi Qing was tortured in the Internal Punishment Division last night but died, but she said until her death that it had nothing to do with the assassination of the queen, and Bi Lan should have nothing to do with it."

"Well, I also know that the crown princess must have nothing to do with this matter."

"Jinrou, it's good that you can think so, now that Bi Lan and Feng'er are grounded, I'm worried that the queen will make an order when she is angry..., deal with Bi Lan and Feng'er..."

Xu Jinrou shook her head, "It should... No, it won't. ”

Wei Cairen's face was full of worry, "This morning, the queen has issued an order to stop the food and clothing of Changle Palace, if it stops for a long time, the palace will not become purgatory, although the queen is angry, but aunt..., still want to go and intercede for Bilan." ”

Xu Jinrou frowned, "If you go to intercede now, I'm afraid the queen mother won't be gracious." ”

"Yes, I am soft-spoken, I can't go alone, so I plan to ask Princess Zhao and Jinrou to go together to intercede for Bilan, and I won't tell you that I just went to Jinghua Palace and wanted to give up my face and beg Princess Zhao, but the father-in-law in the palace said that Song Jian was frightened when she saw the queen being stabbed, so Princess Zhao didn't see any outsiders."

Xu Jinrou bowed slightly, "I also want to see Princess Zhao after returning to the palace this time, and the father-in-law in the palace also said the same thing and didn't see me." ”

"Hmph, after Bi Lan and Feng'er were grounded, there were a lot of visitors in Jinghua Palace, Princess Zhao just didn't want to see you and me."

Seeing that Xu Jinrou was silent, Wei Cairen stood up and made a gesture to make a big salute, Xu Jinrou quickly got up, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

"My aunt just wants to beg Jinrou, no matter what, I have to accompany my aunt to the queen for a trip and ask Bilan for a way to live, so as not to make me speak lightly and make the queen unhappy, and then it will backfire."

Xu Jinrou pulled Wei Cairen to sit down, "Well..., aunt do this, I will visit the queen mother and then leave the palace, I don't need my aunt to go with me, I will intercede for the crown princess, if not, it will not be too late for you to go." ”

Wei Cairen was stunned, "Jinrou's words are serious, but you can't perfunctory aunt." ”

Xu Jinrou's expression was solemn, "Naturally, take it seriously, how can human life be a child's play, you can rest assured." ”

Wei Cairen's eyes lit up, "If Bi Lan and Feng'er can escape this catastrophe, my aunt will definitely let them thank you well." ”

Fang Ruo accompanied Xu Jinrou to Tianshou Palace to see the queen, and Mama Li walked out, she asked Xu Jinrou to wait outside the door first, because Jiang Langzhong from the Ximan Medical Center was checking the queen's pulse and checking the wound, so it was inconvenient to disturb.

After waiting for the kung fu to have a stick of incense, Jiang Beixi carried the medicine box out of the house, he saw Xu Jinrou waiting outside the door and was slightly stunned, then made a gesture, and then left in a hurry.

Under the guidance of Mama Li, Xu Jinrou entered the house, and the queen leaned on the head of the bed, her face seemed to be a little flushed and had not subsided, and her complexion looked much better than the day she was just stabbed.

Xu Jinrou sat down after saluting, "Queen Mother, the concubines want to leave the palace today, according to the agreement with you before, 10,000 taels of silver, leave 1,000 taels of concubines to use, and the remaining 9,000 taels will be given to the three divisions." ”

The queen seemed to be in a good mood today, and her voice was lazy and soft, "Okay, you can do it, the rest of the silver taels are also about to come back, and the mourning family needs silver to do something." ”

The previous queen kept asking Xu Jinrou for this, Xu Jinrou just buried herself in the hard work to make money, and she didn't realize that the queen was overly oppressive of her and demanded blood.

Xu Jinrou's attitude was deferential, "Yes, the concubine acts in accordance with the will of the queen mother, well..., dare to ask the queen mother if she needs silver, but is it for Princess Zhao?" ”

The queen frowned, "Jinrou, why do you say this?" ”

"On the day I returned to the palace, the concubine went to visit Princess Zhao, but she didn't see me, saying that it was because the queen mother was stabbed, which scared Song Jian, this matter was not a big deal before, but now the princess and Song Feng have been involved in the assassination case, Song Jian is the future prince who will not let go, and many people in the palace say that the queen mother wants to rebuild the East Palace for him!"

A hint of coldness flashed in the queen's eyes, "Oh, there are still such rumors, the mourning family should check it." Well... Jinrou, what do you think about the crown princess and the crown prince... What do you think? ”

Xu Jinrou's face showed panic, "This matter... The concubines didn't dare to talk about it. ”

"It's okay for you to say it, the mourning family won't blame you."

"Hmm... The concubine thought that the crown princess would not have the intention of assassinating the queen mother, although she was the crown princess, if the queen mother had an accident, she would nominally take over the Great Chu Palace, but as long as Song Feng did not enter the East Palace, no one would treat him as the prince, if the queen mother had an accident, no one would listen to her if the princess wanted to be in power, Princess Zhao, the eldest princess, and the concubines were all there, so naturally they would not follow her wishes, but if Song Feng entered the East Palace, it would be difficult to say. ”

Xu Jinrou knows the queen's thoughts, she is selfish and mean, and she does not allow anyone in the palace to have more influence than her, if the crown princess has something, Princess Zhao is bound to become bigger, and the balance between the two is the right way.

The reason why Xu Jinrou wants to save the crown princess and prevent her from having an accident is also to let the princess be her shield, because as long as the crown princess is there, the queen and Princess Zhao will not do things only against her, so she will have room for maneuver.

Listening to Xu Jinrou's words, the queen pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly,

"Jin Rou's words are reasonable, now that Li Biqing has died, it can be regarded as a warning to the crown princess,..., Mama Li, pass on the will of the mourning family, all the uses of Changle Palace will return to normal, the crown princess and the prince will be grounded for three days, and they will be allowed to go out of Changle Palace to mourn the teacher after three days."

After Xu Jinrou left the palace, she went to the Yamen of the Three Divisions, and she issued a silver ticket of nine thousand taels to the three divisions, and promised that there would be not only silver but also more in the future, which made the three divisions and departments, who were always unable to make ends meet, happy and saw the hope for the future.

Xu Jinrou summoned Lu Fuhu, the salt and iron envoy, to discuss with him the preparation of the caravan, and prepared to set off to Tianluo Kingdom to buy the first batch of salt and open the salt road.

From Da Chu to Tianluo Kingdom, thousands of miles back and forth, no matter how you come and go, you shouldn't waste manpower by running empty, Xu Jinrou plans to bring some brocade over this time, in order to be prepared, only a thousand horses are prepared.

After agreeing with Lu Fuhu, Xu Jinrou, Fang Ruo, and Qingluan rushed to Cuiping Mountain to urge the production of this thousand brocades as soon as possible.

The three of them rode to the bottom of the mountain in a carriage, and saw from a distance that many people had gathered in front of the gate of the brocade factory, and the cries of women came from the crowd.
