Night gradually fell, and the dark blue starry sky quietly shrouded the Daming Palace. Only the last gray and white clouds remained between the sky and the mountains and rivers, competing with the stars in the distance.

The majestic and dignified Li Zheng Palace is quiet and quiet at the moment. Just at the entrance, the palace people are standing in the corridor as before, listening to the sound of the gentle breeze blowing through the hibiscus trees and the rustling and hissing of grasshoppers in the corner of the palace wall.

When they raised their heads, they saw a figure rushing towards this side. Just when they leaned over and took a look, they were surprised to see the usually steady Crown Princess trotting over anxiously with her skirt lifted.

In front of the corridor, one could even detect the anxiety on her face, the strong rise and fall in her chest, and the disordered breath that was too late to calm down.

"I want to see His Highness——"

Knowing that the matter must be urgent, the palace maid outside the corridor did not dare to delay, and quickly took the order to enter the palace. After a while, she came out again, folded her hands respectfully and saluted: "Princess, Her Royal Highness the Queen summons you to enter the palace."

Hearing this, Baoying nodded hurriedly, and immediately anxiously crossed the threshold of the palace, walked around the screen gate and came to Queen Li.

At this moment, Empress Li had changed into light casual clothes and was lying on the soft pillow of the bed, looking through the records of the emperor's daily life in the past few days. She said to Yin Niang who was serving beside her in a nonchalant manner: "This Jiang talent is really good.

He is a rare person. Since he was admitted to Yeting, he has received more divine favors than Concubine De."

After listening to Empress Li's words, Yin Niang, who was carefully adding fragrance, smiled, quietly walked forward and said, "I heard that Concubine De was often angry because of Jiang Cairen, but the saint always protected her.

, Concubine De can only be like a tiger eating the sky, unable to claw her way down."

"Everyone who went to Zichen Palace back then was executed, but she was the only one who could stay. Now she is enjoying great glory. How could she have accomplished this without some thoughtful means?"

Hearing Queen Li's words, Yin Niang nodded in agreement.

It turns out that Empress Li and the Jiang Cairen she talked about were no one else. It was the emperor who made an exception and was promoted to the rank of servant of the Zichen Palace when Emperor Yuan Cheng of the Zhou Dynasty was in power. Later, he caught a glimpse of Yang Chongyuan when he put down Shangguan's rebellion and forced the emperor into the palace.

The beauty, Jiang Lihua.

When today's Emperor Yang Chongyuan ascended the throne as emperor, sealed the middle palace, and promoted the old servants of the Taiwei Mansion, he silently promoted the former Jiang Shizhao to a fifth-grade talent.

For a small female official to be promoted to the fifth rank of a concubine, this would be enough to shock many people if it were not covered up by the high-ranking concubines such as Virtuous Concubine and Xian Concubine.

And this Jiang Shizhao is worthy of being the emperor's servant, and he is also a rare smart person. As a female official of the former dynasty, she not only overwhelms the court with her beauty, but also has both talent and virtue. She can not only perform the concubine ceremony humbly and cautiously in front of Empress Li in the middle palace,

Every morning and dusk, the provincial servants

Being by Empress Li's side, she could still show immense respect to Concubine Cao who was already neglected in front of her. She would often go to Concubine De's Lingqi Palace to listen to Concubine De's talk during good times and good days. Even the maids in the palace also

I can't help but feel her kindness and easy-going.

Such people are either simple-minded and indifferent to the world.

Or, he is a person who has no desires and desires, and who is strong without desires.

"Then Your Highness——"

Hearing Yin Niang's probing, Empress Li waved her hand casually, threw the living notes aside, and said calmly: "Fools have their own ways of using things, and smart people have their own ways of using them. Jieyu Liu has always been disliked by the emperor."

, its usefulness has been minimal to this day, nothing more than useless, but Jiang Cai, who comes from a humble background and has nothing to rely on, has caught my eye a little bit."

"Your Highness wants to reuse her to contain Concubine De and Concubine Xian?"

Empress Li chuckled softly when she heard the words, and said calmly: "Now that Concubine Xian is getting older, has no children, and has lost all her mind, she can only stay in Yeting for the rest of her life. As for Concubine De's son, King Yue,

It's a useless embroidered pillow, what can you expect from him, and Rongan will have to marry a Turk in a short time-"

"But what you said is not entirely unreasonable. Be more careful and have more guarantees. Jiang Cairen doesn't need you or me to deliberately win over her. She is a smart person. She can see the current situation clearly and knows what to do and what not to do.

What."

Otherwise, how could Yang Chongyuan not know about it if she attracted the Jiang family?

On the contrary, a piece of chess was lost.

At this moment, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching. Empress Li remained silent and looked over with Yin Niang.

Seeing Baoying, Empress Li's eyes suddenly became friendly and friendly and said: "Why are you here now?"

"Auntie——"

Before Queen Li could wake up, Bao Ying knelt down anxiously and said: "His Royal Highness was punished by His Majesty to go to the Fengxian Hall to kneel down and beg Aniang to save him——"

"What?"

Before Baoying finished her last words, Empress Li suddenly stood up, almost frowning, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty punishes Erlang by kneeling down?"

"Why?"

At this moment, not only Queen Li, but also Yin Niang on the side was also surprised.

Regardless of what happened in the past, today's Erlang Yang Yan is after all the crown prince of a country and the crown prince of a new dynasty. How could His Majesty suddenly inflict such a punishment that would harm the face of the East Palace? How will the crown prince establish his prestige in the court and in the world in the future?

"My son went to inquire about it, but the palace official only said that His Majesty was offended by His Highness's words——"

Seeing Baoying shaking her head anxiously and worriedly, as if she was about to cry, Empress Li's heart also tugged.

At this moment, Gong'e who was guarding outside also hurried in and said cautiously: "Your Highness, someone from Zichen Palace just sent a letter."

Queen Li's eyes immediately froze when she heard this, and she said: "Bring it quickly."

When Yin Niang walked over, the palace maid quickly handed a small note to her eyebrows. When Yin Niang took it and sent it to Queen Li, the palace maid had already left.

In the silence, Queen Li opened the note. After seeing the words on it, her hands clenched tightly and she couldn't help but fall down.

"Your Highness——"

"Aniang!"

Seeing Baoying, Yinniang, and Empress Li's heart beating rapidly like a drum when they saw Baoying, Yinniang, and Empress Li hurriedly rushing to help her, she waved her hand, crushed the note in her hand, and spoke in a low voice.

He murmured helplessly: "This kid Erlang is always so kind that he doesn't even care about himself——"

"Your Highness."

Hearing Yinniang's careful inquiry, Queen Li handed them the note in her hand. When Baoying saw it, her mind was shocked.

Almost instantly, she understood everything.

It turns out that from the beginning, someone was designing Erlang and the East Palace.

It was she who harmed him——

It's her——

"Quick, go and summon Ah Man!"

Hearing Queen Li's anxious words, Yin Niang said anxiously and embarrassedly: "But it's so late, I'm afraid-"

"Take my token and quietly go to Prince Yuling's Mansion and tell her the matter in person."

When Yin Niang heard this, she didn't think much about it, and immediately took the order and retreated. Looking at her back, Queen Li was sitting on the bed, her hands tightly clasped, but her eyes were dark and hard to detect.

When Yin Niang quietly rushed to Prince Yuling's palace, it was already the time when the palace door was about to be locked, so she hurried all the way to Li Sui and his wife. Before Li Sui could exchange greetings, she anxiously saluted and said: "Princess, Your Highness the Queen

I have something urgent to discuss with you."

When Queen Li's token was handed in, Li Sui guessed that something had happened, otherwise her aunt would not have sent someone out at such a late hour, so she did not disturb her too much when she was greeted.

Of the people, only Zhao Yi accompanied her, and Zong Ming, Nian Nu and the others were guarding the door.

But seeing Yin Niang coming in person now further confirmed her thoughts.

"Aunt, what's the matter with you? It's okay to say it."

Hearing what Li Sui said, Yin Niang nodded, and immediately nervously came forward to talk to Li Sui. Zhao Yi said: "Tonight, for some reason, His Royal Highness heard that His Majesty quietly ordered the guards to guard the former Chen family.

Chronic poison is added to daily meals——"

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Yi was a little surprised, but Li Sui's eyes moved slightly and he continued to listen to Yin Niang: "Your Highness is so kind that he actually presented it to Your Majesty in person and begged Your Majesty to let the Chen family go and be lenient.

I offended His Majesty with my words, and I have been punished by His Majesty to go to the Fengxian Hall to kneel down and worship my ancestors. I have passed my reflection."

After hearing this, Li Sui naturally understood. Although this incident happened suddenly, it was not surprising. She didn't understand Yang Yan's temperament. In the past, even Yang Xingjian did not respect the Empress Dowager Xiaomin, the biological mother of Emperor Yuan Cheng, and the Empress Dowager Yu.

Taking Le Ji out on a trip during the mourning period would cause disputes between Yang Yan and Yang Chongyuan.

What's more, knowing these pickled things.

In the midst of this electric light and flint, Li Sui thought of the strange behavior of Baoying on the bowing field today, and gradually some clues emerged in his mind.

It's no coincidence that it's not a book. I'm afraid that what happened today was driven by someone else.

And there are even fewer people who can predict Yang Yan's temperament so accurately, or even guess his reaction.

"Yin Niang, please report to my aunt for me. There is no need to worry too much about this matter."

Hearing Li Sui's relaxed words, Yin Niang couldn't help but said in surprise: "Princess, do you have a countermeasure?"

Hearing this, Li Sui put a smile on his lips and said: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Since Erlang saved people's lives, it was not a wrong thing, so why do we need countermeasures?"

"princess--"

Seeing the confusion on Yin Niang's face, Li Sui smiled slyly and said calmly: "Let aunt rest assured that this matter is a secret. Your Majesty will definitely not want others to know about it. This is his weakness."

Seeing the flash of light in Yinniang's eyes, the smile on Li Sui's lips became more leisurely and calm.

"So once it is made public and your Majesty's position is in chaos, we can use our strength to fight. When the time comes, blessings and disasters will lie behind, and disasters will rely on blessings. Who can know whether it is a blessing or a disaster?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Yin Niang suddenly became enlightened and immediately took the order and hurried back to the Daming Palace before the lock was locked.

"This matter is openly against the emperor. Have you decided who to do it?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Li Sui smiled with apricot eyes, turned to look at Zhao Yi and said, "You are the only one who knows me."
