Chapter 9 The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and opportunities lie ahead

Whoa!

Su Shan bowed down and followed behind Zhang Chongshan and left the Kunning Palace.

Zhang Chongshan is also a very efficient person, and immediately hurried back to the Tengxiang camp, and ordered someone to immediately dispatch three hundred guards to prepare to go to the imperial dining room, and while waiting, he also inquired about the matter to Su Shan in detail.

"Boy, you did a good job, after this matter is over, the reward will definitely be indispensable to you!"

Zhang Chongshan's dark face was filled with a smile of approval, and he patted Su Shan's shoulder heavily, but soon his voice changed again, and he said meaningfully,

"But I have to remind you, the next thing, you'd better not interfere, you just entered the palace not long ago, you don't understand many of the rules in this palace, if something breaks the affairs of the Queen Mother, don't say that you can't keep the report work, it's likely that you will even lose your life, you can do it yourself!"

"Little understand, thank you Commander Zhang!"

Su Shan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

He understood what Zhang Chongshan meant, this was secretly reminding himself that he had already made the great contribution to the report, and the rest of the things should not be mixed again, and don't block him Zhang Chongshan and Teng Xiang Ying's credit!

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Chongshan's behavior, Su Shan was not too repulsive, this is reality, not as said in the novel, if you take any benefits alone, you will become alone sooner or later!

It must be difficult to move an inch in this harem!

So, he accepted it willingly!

"However, Father-in-law Wen, it seems that something is wrong......"

While waiting for the Tengxiang camp guards to be rectified, Su Shan couldn't help but recall the situation when he had just intercepted the Queen Mother's throne, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Judging from the situation just now, Gonggong Wen should be the absolute confidant of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and he is also a person who is quite trusted, otherwise in the Kunning Palace just now, the Empress Dowager Zhang would not have left only Gonggong Wen to guard her.

However, when he pointed out that someone was going to murder the Queen Mother, Gonggong Wen tried his best to stop it, and even showed his intention to kill himself with a rod, he obviously disregarded the safety of the Queen Mother, and didn't want to let himself say it, and he did it in front of the Queen Mother Zhang.

Is he stupid?

Aren't you afraid that Empress Dowager Zhang will be suspicious of him because of this?

It stands to reason that to be able to get to this point with him, his mind will not be so simple?

"No, he's not stupid, he did it on purpose, he's ...... Test me!"

Suddenly, Su Shan's eyes lit up and he guessed the reason.

This Gonggong Wen is obviously not a fool, there is definitely a reason why he does this, and there is only one reason, that is, to test himself!

He guessed his intention to report Shao Dahai, it was nothing more than wanting to take refuge in the Queen Mother and rise to prominence, he wanted to see if he was capable and had the qualifications to do things for the Queen Mother!

"Since he is testing me, is the Empress Dowager Zhang also ...... Trying to test me?"

Su Shan's eyes flickered, and his heart quickly thought about everything that had just happened, including a series of reactions from Empress Dowager Zhang and Gonggong Wen.

Soon he figured it out!

His performance at that time should have passed the test of Gonggong Wen, and the Queen Mother also had the intention of continuing to test herself.

Otherwise, she only needs to let herself tell Zhang Chongshan about Shao Dahai's hiding place, and then she can let herself stand aside, and she lets herself follow, just to test.

But since it is going to be tested, why do you say that Zhang Chongshan should be fully responsible?

"That's because she still can't trust me, how can a person like her easily trust others? If she directly reused me just because I reported meritorious, then she would not have come to this point!"

"She should be trying to test me and make sure things don't go unexpected!"

"Hoo ......"

After a long time, Su Shan finally thoroughly figured out the thoughts and intentions of Empress Dowager Zhang and Gonggong Wen, his eyes flickered, and his face showed a thick solemnity.

The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is definitely not a lie!

The idea that I wanted to rise to the top by reporting is really ridiculous!

In such a short period of half an hour, I have been tested back and forth by Empress Dowager Zhang and Gonggong Wen so many times, these powerful people, their thoughts are deep, it can be seen, how can they reuse you by just reporting?

In the future, you must walk on thin ice and be cautious!

"However, since the Queen Mother has the intention of testing me, it means that I am also half of her eyes, as long as I do it beautifully enough, I will definitely be able to soar in the future!"

"This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity can't be missed!"

After being silent for a long time, Su Shan slowly raised his head, and in his deep pupils, there was also an unconcealable heat.

The opportunity is right in front of you, whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself!

"Commander Zhang, everyone has already assembled. ”

"Let's go!"

A moment later, five hundred guards in armor and swords, the Teng Xiang battalion guards were reorganized, and with Zhang Chongshan's low and cold drink, the evil spirit rushed towards the direction of the imperial dining room.

Su Shan also hurriedly followed behind Zhang Chongshan.

......

Imperial Dining Room!

In the slightly dimly lit palm dining hall, an old eunuch wearing a black brocade robe with a thin and tall face covered with surroundings leaned on a wooden chair, holding just the right amount of tea in his hand, lazily looking at today's recipe.

This old eunuch is the chief manager of the imperial dining room, Chen Ting Chen's father-in-law, after entering the palace at the age of thirteen, he worked as an errand in the imperial dining room, because he was clever and delicate, and later relied on the master of ceremonies to palm seal Hu Yong, step by step to the current position, and now he is also a powerful figure in this inner court!

The green shoots in the tea were rolling, and Chen Ting's wrinkled face was also filled with a faint smile, there were a lot of dishes arranged in today's recipe, and a lot of oil and water could be deducted, of course, at this point now, he didn't care so much about these oil and water, he was more concerned about the matter arranged by Grandpa Hu!

As long as the thing is done, he can become the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and this status will rise even higher!

"Gonggong Chen, the celebrant is here to see you!"

Just when Chen Ting was thinking about a better future, a frightened voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and before that voice fell, a burly figure appeared at the door, and then blocked in front of Chen Ting.

"Grandpa Zhang's ......"

Chen Ting recognized this person, this is Hu Yong's father-in-law's cronies, most of Hu's father-in-law's orders in the past were passed on by this person, and about the poisoning of the queen mother, he also had a one-line contact with Zhang's father-in-law, this person's status in front of Hu's father-in-law was not low, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly stood up,

"How do you have time to ......"

"Get out of here!"

Before Chen Ting's words were finished, the father-in-law had already burst out loud with a cold voice, and drove out the two little eunuchs who followed him, he closed the door of the palace with a gloomy face, grabbed Chen Ting's neck, and shouted,

"Old thing, you're still drinking tea here? Do you know what's wrong!? Your head can't be saved!"

"Father-in-law Zhang, this ...... What's going on? Please make it clear! I don't know, little one!"

Chen Ting was also taken aback by Father-in-law Zhang's appearance, and a trace of panic appeared on his wrinkled face, and he asked in a panic.

"I don't know, what do you know? You shit!"

The look on Gonggong Zhang's face became even more angry, and he pushed Chen Ting to the ground, and then said with scarlet eyes,

"Half an hour ago, someone in your imperial dining room intercepted the Empress Dowager's seat in the Xuande Gate, and reported that someone was going to murder the Empress Dowager, and now the Empress Dowager has ordered the Imperial Horse Supervisor Tengxiang Camp Zhang Chongshan to come to your imperial dining room with five hundred guards to arrest people. ”

"What?!"

Chen Ting's face suddenly became extremely frightened, some bloodshot burst out of his eyes, and the body that had just gotten up was also trembling violently, and then his legs were weak and collapsed to the ground.

That thing was reported?

Poisoning the Queen Mother, that is a big crime to kill the nine clans, Ling Chi is executed, how can this be?

"You waste, I told you a long time ago that this matter is very important, let you find a trustworthy and safe person to do this, but you still poked out such a big basket, if you want to die, don't drag Grandpa Hu into the water!"

Father-in-law Zhang's face was also extremely angry, and he kicked Chen Ting in the stomach.

They had been planning this matter for nearly half a year, and it was finally time to implement it, but it was reported at a critical moment, not only was the major event blocked, but also put everyone in danger, and he couldn't wait to cut this Chen Ting with a thousand knives!

However, he also knew that the top priority was not to punish Chen Ting, but to suppress this matter as much as possible, and never let the Queen Mother catch any horses, otherwise, Gonggong Hu and everyone involved in this matter would be doomed!

"What are you still doing in a daze? Get out of our house quickly! Now, immediately, go to Shao Dahai immediately, you must get rid of him before Teng Xiang Ying finds him, if he falls into Zhang Chongshan's hands, you know what will happen!"

Gonggong Zhang dragged the trembling Chen Ting up, threw him on the chair, and shouted screaming.

"Yes, yes, the little one understands, I'll go ......"

Chen Ting was already about to collapse in fright, the look on his face was still extremely panicked, and he almost ran towards the outside of the hall.

"Rubbish!"

Gonggong Zhang looked at Chen Ting's hasty appearance, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't hide his disdain, and then dragged him back, stuffed him with a russet token, gritted his teeth and asked,

"If you can't find Shao Dahai, fight for your life, and stop Zhang Chongshan for our family for a while, our family has already sent someone to hurry up and invite Gonggong Hu, he will return to the palace within half an hour at the latest, you remember to our family, no matter what, drag on this half an hour, and you must not let Zhang Chongshan succeed!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood......"

Chen Ting nodded in a trance, and hurriedly ran out of the palm dining hall......
