Jiang Nian couldn't digest this information for a while. Isn't the regent of Nanyue Xiao Chengyi? But isn't Xiao Chengyi dead?
What exactly is going on?
She frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Everything you said is true."
Wei Zhongtang raised his eyebrows: "Many guards are present in the palace today. Of course it's true. If I come to the court tomorrow, your Majesty will issue an order to abolish the Gu Palace."
Jiang Nian wrung her fingers, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. If it was true as Wei Zhongtang said, she was afraid that her mother-in-law had already planned to change the old customs in southern Xinjiang.
This was exactly what the high priest thought. It was because mother and son had some embarrassment because of their disagreements that she had the opportunity to marry the high priest.
If her mother changes her mind, won't her marriage to the high priest also have to change?
She asked with a deep look: "Why are you telling me? What is the purpose of your Wei family?"
Wei Zhongtang approached step by step. He leaned over and whispered into Jiang Nian's ear: "Didn't the eldest princess promise me that the Wei family will have a bright future? Once the marriage between the eldest princess and the high priest is cancelled, who do you think is likely to succeed in the end?"
To take this throne?"
Jiang Nian narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the third sister."
"No, it's the high priest."
Wei Zhongtang straightened up and looked down at her: "The Regent has made a request to His Majesty, asking Your Majesty to pass the throne to the High Priest.
If the eldest princess can marry the high priest, she can still be the queen even if she cannot be the queen, which is as beneficial as our Wei family.
But if the marriage between the eldest princess and the high priest is cancelled, the high priest will definitely be able to find out what our Wei family has done for you over the years, so we are now a grasshopper on a string."
Jiang Nian didn't say anything. Back then, she did not hesitate to cooperate with this young master of the Wei family for the sake of power. The Wei family was not very highly regarded in southern Xinjiang and had always wanted to rise to the top.
So when she approached Wei Zhongtang and asked for cooperation, he readily agreed.
In order to support her, the Wei family has done a lot of things for her over the years. They have long been in the same boat.
Now that their plan has changed, how can Wei Zhongtang not be anxious? After all, she is the bet that the Wei family has put all their money on.
Jiang Nian shook hands and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Wei Zhongtang raised his eyebrows: "It is no secret that the high priest likes the third princess. If your majesty really realizes his mistake and is willing to help them, then the third princess will be your biggest obstacle. As long as you kill her, the high priest will
Of course it’s yours.”
With that said, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Jiang Niandao: "Do you know what to do, princess?"
Jiang Nian took the porcelain bottle, her face was a little solemn, and she asked: "Why let me do it? Wouldn't it be safer for you to do it?"
Wei Zhongtang said: "Now that the palace is under martial law, the hidden stakes I planted can't find a chance to strike, but the eldest princess is different.
The high priest is seriously injured. It is normal for you to visit the palace. No one will doubt that this medicine will not kill him immediately. The onset will occur ten days later. It is very safe.
Didn't the eldest princess always want to get rid of the third princess? This is your last chance. Whether you can marry the high priest to remove your stumbling block depends on your own choice."
Jiang Nian held the porcelain bottle, his eyes burning brightly.
She had waited for so many years and finally had the opportunity to marry the high priest, and she would not let anyone take away the opportunity that belonged to her.
She put away the porcelain bottle and said in a cold voice: "I know what to do. You go back and wait for the news."
Wei Zhongtang nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he admired this eldest princess very much. She had endured it for many years, used her legs to dodge its sharp edges, and calmly let the second and third princesses kill each other, while she reaped the benefits.
profit.
She has obsessions and wants to get things in her heart. Only such a person will be more ruthless in doing things.
He expected that she could bring him more surprises.
