Come to think of it, how could someone like Xue Hengzhao have no ambition?
She offered advice to Concubine Fu and others, hoping that one day the fifth prince would become a great treasure, and she could also be named a concubine.
But maybe Concubine Fu was afraid of Xue Hengzhao's treacherous thoughts, or maybe Lan Ning was afraid that she would replace her. In short, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both using Xue Hengzhao and guarding against him.
With Xue Heng taking care of the city and his mind, how could he not make other plans?
The ancients said that good birds choose trees to roost in. Xue Hengzhao was not allowed to build her nest in the fifth prince's tree. Of course Miss Xue would spread her wings and fly to another tree.
Zhu Guo is not the only one who can become the emperor!
"Hengzhao!" Concubine Xian took Xue Hengzhao's hand affectionately and said with great affection, "You and I really want to be together. You don't know how much I love you from the bottom of my heart.
Gan'er is a careless and careless person. I have been worrying about who can help him properly when I am old.
Now that I think about it, you two are really a match made in heaven! Your Xue family has been scholarly for generations, and you have disciples all over the world. With your father and brother in the front court, and you in the harem, we are simply impregnable. Don’t worry, I will do this for sure.
I can do it for you.
Not only do I want him to marry you, but I also want you to be his imperial concubine. With you by her side, I can sit back and relax as much as possible and just be an old lady who entertains her grandchildren."
"With your Majesty's words, I feel relieved." Xue Hengzhao blushed slightly, "I will do my best to help your Majesty succeed."
"Okay, okay, good boy!" Concubine Xian smiled from ear to ear, "I will treat you as my own daughter and love you, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."
"I have one more thing to say about the strategy just now," Xue Heng said.
"Say, you say." Concubine Xian said as if she was all ears.
"The empress must send her trusted people to the north. If the people sent are not effective, the success will be in vain." Xue Hengzhao said seriously.
"Don't worry, I know how powerful it is." Concubine Xian said, "How can such a thing be faked by others? It would be terrible if the time comes to defection."
"It's good that your Majesty knows. I've been out for a while, but it's time to go back." Xue Hengzhao said.
"Come here! Install a hand stove for Miss Xue." Concubine Xian said to the outside, "Use the best plum blossom charcoal."
Xue Hengzhao came out of Jiaolan Palace with a hand stove in hand. As soon as he walked through the east corridor, he met a person head-on.
Yu Guming's steps were a bit too big and he stopped hastily. When he saw it was Xue Hengzhao, his ears turned red.
Xue Hengzhao saluted and said, "Greetings to the Crown Prince."
"I didn't...see you...at my grandmother's place," Yu Guming said.
"Your Majesty, please take a step to speak." Xue Heng glanced at him, turned around and left.
Yu Guming was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed him.
The winter sun is a rare warmth, shining on the dark red palace wall, lengthening the shadows of the two people.
Xue Hengzhao faced the sunlight and narrowed his eyes slightly, like a little fox in a negative mood.
"You...what are you going to say to me?" Yu Guming looked at Xue Heng's almost transparent skin under the sun, and recalled the Bodhisattva statue he saw in the grotto when he was a child.
"This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty, you must listen carefully..." Xue Hengzhao raised his hand and brushed a strand of hair behind his ear, "Success or failure depends on this one move..."
The wind blew through the treetops, and a few remaining dead leaves rustled down. Xue Hengzhao's voice was drowned by the wind, and only blew into Yu Guming's ears.
"Sister Xue..." Someone shouted from a distance.
Xue Heng looked at the sound and saw that it was Lin Fufei.
"Young Master, do you understand?" Xue Hengzhao asked Yu Guming, "Then I will leave."
Yu Guming nodded, and Xue Hengzhao turned around and walked towards Lin Fufei.
"Did I disturb you from talking to the Crown Prince?" Lin Fufei asked carefully, "I came from that way and there was a pillar blocking me, so I didn't see the Crown Prince."
"No," Xue Hengzhao said, "I'm about to go back too."
The two of them walked side by side, facing the wind, and Lin Fufei couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Did you go to the prince's place?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"Yes," Lin Fufei nodded, "The prince has lost some weight. He told me that he will be the ninth prince in the first month of the year."
"There is nothing wrong with being the Ninth Prince, as long as you can live a safe life." Xue Hengzhao said.
"He didn't want to be a prince," Lin Fufei said in a low voice, "but he is still worried about the people on the border."
"He is a very good prince," Xue Hengzhao said, "and a bloody man."
"He told me that what he really wants to do now is to go to the border, but he also knows that with his status, the emperor will not agree to him." Lin Fufei was very disappointed. She felt sad for the prince. "In other words, it would be
It's possible for other princes, but if it were him, he would be suspected of having ulterior motives."
The identity of the crown prince is in jeopardy. If he takes the initiative to ask for help at this moment, although it is out of loyalty, some people will still think that he wants to save his status.
"Although he smiled when he talked to me, I felt that he was already heartbroken. Anyone else would be extremely sad if he could not gain the trust of his father or his mother.
." Lin Fufei said to herself, "Sister Xue, I know you have the best solution, can you help him and make him feel better?"
"Fu Fei, it's not that I won't help him, but that he must go through this situation now." Xue Hengzhao said, "Although he is in pain, he is still safe now. No one is afraid of him, and no one will harm him.
he.
One day, Yao Ziyun will forgive him. Blood is thicker than water, so it is inevitable. As for the emperor, there is no need to be harsh."
"Now that I know Sister Lin, I will often accompany her," Lin Fufei said.
After Xue Hengzhao left, Concubine Xian called Kang Guang over: "I want to ask my uncle to come into the palace. I have something important to tell him."
"Empress, what did Xue Hengzhao say?" Kang Guang was curious.
"You will know when the time comes. This is really a brilliant plan." Concubine Xian was very proud at this time, as if everything was already won.
"Can you trust Xue Hengzhao?" Kang Guang expressed doubts.
"Don't worry!" Concubine Xian smiled, "You think she may not be loyal to me after helping Concubine Fu, don't you? But who's heart in this world cannot be bought? As long as the price is high enough and you get what you want.
good."
"I just think it's better to be careful in everything. This Xue Hengzhao is really naughty!" Kang Guang said.
"It is precisely because she is a smart person that I dare to make a deal with her." Concubine Xian said, "Besides, I am not a fool. I can't think of whether this strategy is feasible or not."
"Yes, yes, this slave is talking too much." Kang Guang did not dare to force himself anymore, "I will leave the palace later and inform my uncle."
