After the queen mother got Wu Degui's report, she knew that Concubine De had made up her mind to leave the harem, and Concubine De would not come back for a while, and the queen mother didn't want to worry about Concubine De anymore.

In the queen mother's view, Concubine De is more trouble-free, in the harem, only Concubine De is really capable of competing with her for power, the queen is too weak, and she is the niece of the queen mother, she will not snatch the power of the queen mother;

After listening to Wu Degui's recital, the Queen Mother decided not to care about Concubine De anymore, she said to Wu Degui: " Concubine De left the harem, which is a pity, in fact, Concubine De still has a lot of advantages, in the harem, there are many people like her, she is kind-hearted, after his father's accident, she is also very sincere and careful to treat the queen, the queen's illness cured, this is a great contribution to the royal family, she is meritorious, she cured the queen's kindness, the royal family will not forget jì, it is a great merit, this time Concubine De is gone, the mourning family really misses her. Gonggong Wu, you tell you to go down, let the people in the palace stop going to the trouble of Concubine De, since she wants to live freely outside, let her go, everyone has their own ambitions, the mourning family doesn't want to restrict her, let her live her life freely, don't let people hurt her anymore. ”

"The Queen Mother is wise, you have such a broad mind, the concubines in the palace and the ministers in the court will definitely praise the Queen Mother's great kindness. In fact, the slave gets your edict like you, and respects the Empress Dowager very much in his heart, you have such a tolerant heart, and you will definitely be able to live to a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Wu Degui said.

Wu Degui happily conveyed the Empress Dowager's decree, and he admired Concubine De very much. Things turned out exactly as Concubine De expected. As soon as Wu Degui told the Queen Mother that Concubine De was not ready to return to the harem, the Queen Mother immediately changed her attitude and no longer had trouble with Concubine De, and Concubine De was finally free. Wu Degui left the Queen Mother's bedroom happily.

Zhang Lianying was ordered by the emperor. Once again, he sent people around to look for Concubine De. However, apart from the news of the killing of a distinguished guest in the "Miaoyun Temple", there is no new news.

There is no evidence to prove that the noble guest who was killed was Concubine De Niangniang. Therefore, Zhang Lianying concluded that Concubine De was very likely to be alive, Zhang Lianying had this idea, he was much more down-to-earth, and before going to meet the emperor, he had already thought of the words to report to the emperor.

As soon as Zhang Lianying saw the emperor, she reported and said: "Your Majesty, the slave brought good news, the previous statement about Concubine De Niangniang was unfortunately killed in the" Miaoyunguan ", in fact, the victim was not Concubine De Niangniang, but a very rich pilgrim, according to the people in the "Miaoyun Temple", I have seen Concubine De Niangniang leave the "Miaoyunguan", it can be seen that Concubine De Niangniang must still be alive in the world, the emperor can rest assured, but unfortunately, the slave sent people to look around, to several temples, The Taoist temple has been searched, but it has not yet been found Concubine De, this is the sin of the slave!"

"Okay, good, although you haven't been able to find Concubine De, but you have found out that Concubine De is still alive, this is also a merit, you can pay off the credit, I will not ask you about your sins for the time being, but you must send more capable people to continue the search, you must find Concubine De, don't you often say, 'Under the world, it is not the king's land?, then, in my land, don't you have a way to get my concubine back?" The emperor asked Zhang Lianying loudly.

"The slave should die, he hasn't been able to find Concubine De Niangniang for a while, however, according to the slave's thoughts, Concubine De Niangniang must want to travel freely outside the imperial city for a period of time, she may want to burn incense in the temple, worship the Bodhisattva, pray to the Buddha to bless the emperor, hope that the world will be harmonious, the country and the people will be safe! The emperor knows best in his heart, Concubine De Niangniang is a very smart concubine, she doesn't want the people in the palace to find her for the time being, it will be difficult for others to find her, who let the emperor meet such a smart concubine? How could a stupid person like a slave find Concubine De so quickly?" Zhang Lianying said.

"I know that you are deliberately saying good things when you say this, but I am also happy to hear it, Concubine De is indeed not an ordinary woman, after she left for a while, I thought about it carefully, the entire harem, indeed no one can compare to her, she is beautiful on the outside and wise on the inside, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, both virtuous and chaste, soft and virtuous, and has excellent knowledge and decisiveness, she combines beauty and virtue. Maybe it's because she's so outstanding, so, she has been repeatedly ostracized and plotted in the harem, and I don't care enough about her, ignoring the jealousy and calculation of some people in the harem, she left the palace this time, not only because she was persecuted, but also because I didn't care enough about her, which made her sad, so you said that she didn't want the people in the harem to find her for the time being, which is to the point. The emperor missed Concubine De very much, and said what was in his heart to Zhang Lianying.

"The emperor is wise, you know and miss Concubine De so well, she must miss the emperor very much outside, Concubine De only temporarily left the palace when she was uncomfortable, she was so deeply favored by the emperor, she must want to wait for the opportunity to enjoy the joy of family with the emperor again, she must not want to miss the emperor, when Concubine De is no longer angry, she will naturally come back to meet the emperor, please let the emperor be relieved!" Zhang Lianying said.

"You're right, a smart woman like Concubine De won't be killed so easily, and she won't be unable to think about it for a while, however, there are indeed people in the palace who calculate her, and last time I issued an order to let you supervise the harem, so that people can't have the opportunity to harm Concubine De, how do you do it?" the emperor asked.

"The slave has sent someone to monitor the key places in the harem, as long as there are suspicious people out of the palace, the slave's people will always follow them, and do not let them have the opportunity to hurt Concubine De Niangniang, please rest assured! If someone wants to escape the sight of the slave, try to find Concubine De, and poison Concubine De Niangniang, then, the slave promises that they will die before Concubine De, and the emperor's will, the slave swears to do it!" Zhang Lianying said.

"Well, I believe you. Go ahead and look for Concubine De, and don't let me down!" said the Emperor.

In the entire harem, the most concerned about the life and death of Concubine De is the eunuch Shen Deyi and the virtuous concubine Sun Xianglan, they are more concerned about the news of Concubine De's life and death than the emperor, although the emperor loves Concubine De very much, but in addition to Concubine De, there are also queens, concubines and other concubines by the emperor's side, and now the emperor is good to Concubine De, but maybe after a while. The emperor will gradually forget about Concubine De. And for Shen Deyi and Concubine Xian, Concubine De's life and death are too important to them, and if Concubine De is dead, it means that they have eliminated the people who threaten them the most in the harem. They would be able to sit back and relax, and if Concubine De was still alive. They would be in great danger. It is very likely that Concubine De will return to the palace and continue the fight with them to seek revenge on them. and even to their deaths.

After the death of "Miaoyunguan", Concubine Xian has been secretly happy, she is very happy that Concubine De was removed, she often quietly drinks and celebrates with the palace maids around her, until Shen Deyi later sent her the news, saying that the person killed in "Miaoyunguan" may not be Concubine De, but a pilgrim with a noble status, and Concubine Xian woke up from the joy of victory.

When Concubine Xian heard the new news from Shen Deyi, it was like five thunderbolts, her happy mood disappeared all of a sudden, replaced by anger and frustration, she hated Concubine De so much that she gritted her teeth, and cursed her to die early.

"Gonggong Shen, you are also a great figure in the harem, except for Gonggong Zhang of the celebrant supervisor, your power is the greatest, and it is said that you are more strategic than Gonggong Zhang, and there is no shortage of masters under you, how can you defeat He Zhihan's vixen one after another? A few days ago, you just told the palace that He Zihan had been eliminated, reported the good news to the palace, and took away a large amount of silver, but now you have come to tell the palace that He Zhihan may still be alive, what is going on? Is it deliberately playing tricks on the palace?" Concubine Xian vented all her anger on Shen Deyi.

"Concubine Xian, it's all the slave's fault, the slave's subordinates are not doing things well, and all the responsibilities should be borne by the slaves, but now is not the time to be angry, we have no way out, we must continue to work together and come up with a better way to deal with He Zhihan, in order to get rid of the current predicament, fortunately, He Zhihan is no longer in the palace, and the emperor can't protect her, which may be the best opportunity for us to get rid of her." Shen Deyi said.

Concubine Xian was persuaded by Shen Deyi to calm down a little, she felt that what Shen Deyi said made sense, she had to continue to compete with He Zhihan, and now there was no way out, if she didn't take the initiative to attack, she would lose everything.

Concubine Xian said: "He Zhihan is not dead, can this palace not be angry? You should know that although He Zhihan is not in the palace now, the Queen Mother already feels that she is no longer a threat, not only no longer chasing and killing He Zhihan, but also letting Wu Degui pass on his will, not allowing the people in the harem to live with He Zhihan, and also said that he wants He Zhihan to live freely outside the capital, and the emperor also issued an order to Gonggong Zhang to monitor the people in the palace to prevent someone from sneaking out of the palace and chasing and killing He Zhihan, you say, can this be a good opportunity to get rid of He Zhihan?"

"You are right, right now, on the surface, it seems that it is more difficult to get rid of He Zhihan, the Queen Mother no longer deals with her, and let people protect her; the emperor loves her even more, he gave Zhang Lianying an order to protect Concubine De, it seems that it is more difficult for us to start, but, whether it is the Queen Mother, the Emperor, or Zhang Lianying, after all, it is too far away from Concubine De, Concubine De is outside the imperial city, and the Queen Mother, the Emperor and so on are in the palace, so far apart, can they protect Concubine De? The Queen Mother may not have paid much attention to where Concubine De is, but the emperor is likely to be eager to know where Concubine De is, now, Zhang Lianying has not found Concubine De, and the people of the servants have not been able to find Concubine De, if we can find her, we will do it quickly, the people in the palace are far away and cannot protect her. Shen Deyi said.

"That's right, as the saying goes, 'far water can't save near thirst', the will of the Queen Mother and the emperor depends on Wu Degui and Zhang Lianying to implement, if we can find He Zhihan in advance and do our best, Wu and Zhang are no matter how hard they work, it will be difficult to stretch their hands so long to rescue He Zhihan. From this point of view, He Zhihan's departure from the capital is equivalent to sending himself to the door of the grave. Although we are in danger now, it is also an opportunity, you can't miss it again this time, this palace is willing to provide you with twice the reward of silver than the last time, but you must tell them to make a trick, ruthless, and foolproof!"

Shen Deyi listened, he was happy in his heart, he thought: "Concubine Xian is in danger this time, she is very worried, Concubine De is alive, it is like Concubine Xian hanging a sword over her head, she panicked, this time she took the initiative to spend some blood, which is extremely rare for a greedy woman like her who regards wealth as her life, it can be seen that she wants to get rid of Concubine De too much." ”

"With the support of Concubine Xian, the slave will definitely be able to do things well this time, to be honest, last time in the palace or around the palace, it was inconvenient for the slave to be ruthless, for fear that if the emperor found out, the slave's old life will be lost, now, Concubine De is somewhere far away outside the palace, the slave can boldly start, and it will definitely succeed! Shen Deyi said.

"Okay, that's it, you can come and get the silver at any time, but this palace has to come according to the rules, pay you half first, and you can take the other half after the matter is completed, if this palace is happy, it will also reward you at that time, and your future life will be better and better," said Concubine Xian.

Shen Deyi thought: "Concubine Xian is painting cakes for our family again, can this cake satisfy hunger?" Our family is practical, or ask her for half of the silver, anyway, there is no concubine, our family must also get rid of He Zhihan, the reason why our family has always wanted to use your concubine's silver, is not to be greedy for a little cheap, but just in case, in case the matter is revealed, the concubine provides silver, that is, the mastermind behind the scenes, the slave is just acting on the order of the concubine, if the emperor blames it, the main responsibility will be borne by the concubine, our family is just forced to do it, so we don't have to bear so much responsibility, maybe, with the concubine as a scapegoat, our family can still live。 (To be continued......)

PS: A noble concubine who escaped from the palace, who was once a more skilled doctor than the imperial doctor, later became the leader of the "Tianzhu Sect", a top master of poison, specializing in dealing with very powerful eunuchs in the palace, and deduced a wonderful story, I hope readers like it.
