"Second sister, what I am most worried about now is not the matter itself. The fact that the emperor was set up by the Zhou family and became obsessed with another woman is not terrible in itself. What is terrible is the things other than this matter. This matter
It's so clever, and such a clever design, how could those idiots from the Zhou family come up with it? I can guarantee that those few people in the Zhou family have no such intelligence. Zhou Shou, Zhou Yu, Zhou Ying, who can think of it?
The person who came up with such a clever method? Let alone the Queen Mother Zhou, it is even more impossible for a dying person to have such a plan. There must be expert guidance behind them. And this is what I am most worried about." Zhang Yanling said slowly.
.
"You mean... someone gave this plan to the Zhou family? Who is that?" Queen Zhang's mind was already confused. The more she listened to her brother's analysis, the more she felt that her IQ was not enough, but the more she felt that it was
Makes sense.
"I don't know who it is, but it must be someone who hates us very much. The purpose of this incident is very obvious, which is to use this woman to weaken the emperor's special favor for the second sister, thereby weakening the second sister's status, and to attack our Zhang family.
Purpose. In my opinion, the Zhou family is just being taken advantage of. Everyone knows that the Zhang family and the Zhou family have conflicts, and the previous fights and land disputes are known to everyone. Everyone in the Zhou family hates us.
, want to take revenge on us. And this matter is exactly what they want. Taking revenge on us will also improve the status of the Zhou family, so why not do it? The people hiding in the dark took advantage of this."
"Then we... what should we do?" Queen Zhang's voice was trembling. She had already sensed the danger of this conspiracy.
"Second sister, if you make a fuss, I'm afraid it's just what they want. They want you to make a fuss, so that the emperor can't get off the stage, and he will definitely feel disgusted with you. And on the surface, you are making trouble unreasonably. Your Majesty
It is very likely that he would simply accept that woman as his concubine and keep doing it. Have you forgotten that many people in the imperial court openly and secretly appealed to the emperor, asking him to fill up the harem and stabilize the country, and not leave the six palaces empty and mislead the world?
People only marry one wife and don't take concubines. Once a fight breaks out, no one will stand on the side of the second sister, and things will get worse. Therefore, I ask the second sister to calm down and continue to live as usual, and don't say anything to the emperor.
If there is any abnormality, this is the best response that the second sister should take at present." Zhang Yanling said in a low voice.
Empress Zhang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, obviously feeling uneasy.
Zhang Yanling gently touched Queen Zhang's shoulder and whispered softly in her ear: "Second sister, I know you are wronged, but for now you have to be patient. I will do the rest. I will find a solution. So
Things must not stop. Someone is riding on the head of the second sister and the head of my Zhang family. How can we not give heavy counterattacks. Someone must pay a serious price, otherwise how can we deter those guys in the shadows? You
Don't worry, leave this matter to your brother and me, I will definitely solve the matter."
Queen Zhang opened her eyes and said: "Brother, how do you solve it?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Second sister, do you believe there are so many coincidences in the world?"
Empress Zhang frowned in confusion. Zhang Yanling said: "Do you believe that there is really someone in the world who looks exactly like the second sister when she was young?"
Queen Zhang said: "What do you mean..."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "This is the breakthrough. Although there are many strange things in the world, many coincidences are man-made, and there is no such thing as a coincidence. I will investigate and get to the bottom of it, and by then, the truth will become apparent."
Empress Zhang nodded slowly and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, little brother. But you have to be careful. Since others have set up a conspiracy, you must take precautions. You must be careful. Even if you can't find out the truth, it doesn't matter. I don't want to let my family suffer because of this."
Relatives are hurt.”
Zhang Yanling nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I will be careful. Does my brother know about this? Has my second sister told him?"
Queen Zhang shook her head and said, "I haven't had time to tell him yet."
Zhang Yanling said: "Then don't tell my brother for now. My brother is impatient. If he knew about it, he might act impulsively. When I find out the truth, it won't be too late to tell him."
Empress Zhang nodded slightly. She stood up and said, "Brother, it's time for me to go back to the palace. I left the palace quietly and have to go back as soon as possible. After the emperor watches the lanterns tonight, he will most likely go to Kunning Palace to find me. Since he wants me
Be restrained and you won't make the emperor suspicious. Alas, my life is really miserable, and I still have to pretend that I don't know anything."
Zhang Yanling bowed and said: "Second sister has been wronged. But patience is for counterattack. Second sister must endure it."
Empress Zhang sighed and walked out. Zhang Yanling followed her silently and saw her off.
It's already dark, and the lights in the Zhang family's courtyard have been lit, and the lights are really beautiful. The sound of gongs and drums can be heard on the streets outside, and the excitement of life can be faintly heard. The lantern market and dances on the street
The dragon and lion dance activities have also begun. In the distant night sky, fireworks burst into the sky in the darkness, and the stars are like rain, extremely gorgeous.
The figures of the two siblings walked through the light and darkness of the lights, as if all the noise had nothing to do with them.
…
After sending Queen Zhang away, Zhang Yanling still took everyone in his family out to watch the lanterns. He didn't want to dampen everyone's interest because of this incident. Although Axiu and others didn't know why the Queen came, they were worried at first, but when they saw
Zhang Yanling looked as usual and felt relieved.
The lantern viewing tour was very enjoyable. In fact, the Zhang family rarely had the opportunity to play on the streets. Previously, Zhang Houye would never allow it. Even Xing'er, Putao, Tao'er and the others were doing the lantern viewing tour for the first time.
Don't talk about Axiu.
Zhang Yanling walked behind them, who were smiling happily. Thinking about this sudden incident, he naturally felt depressed. But at the same time, it also aroused his fighting spirit. For no other reason than for the fate of the Zhang family and Ah
In order to ensure the happiness of the Xiuhe family, we cannot allow these young people to cause trouble behind our backs. We must find out the Zhou family and the people in the shadows behind them, and punish them severely.
The next morning, Zhang Yanling and Zhao Yuancheng rode horses to Fu Yamen, Nanxunfang Town. After entering the Yamen, they went straight to the courtyard of his public house. While they were still at the entrance, they heard the sound of neat drills coming from inside.
After entering the door, I saw that in the open space in front of the public house, more than a hundred Jinyi Guards were practicing formation, shouting and shouting. Chen Shiyi, a member of the Guards, stood in front of the formation and shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder.
Seeing Zhang Yanling and Zhao Yuancheng come in, Chen Shi quickly stopped the drill and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I'm sorry to see you, sir. By the way, why are you here? Isn't the Shangyuan holiday on the eighteenth day of the lunar month?"
Zhang Yanling smiled back and said politely: "Nothing happened, so come and have a look. Don't you also have a holiday? Why? Didn't you go play?"
Chen Shiyi said: "The humble position has no family, is alone, and has no worries. Besides, these brothers need to practice. Your Excellency has given you a month's time limit, and the humble position has to reorganize them to meet your requirements.
"
Zhang Yanling nodded and walked to the front of the queue. Chen Shiyi shouted sharply: "Salute!"
All the guards raised their hands and shouted: "I have seen you, sir."
Zhang Yanling cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Brothers, no courtesy."
Zhang Yanling looked at the group of guards in front of him. They had put on brand-new uniforms, boots and hats. Although they still didn't look majestic and majestic, they were now well-dressed and felt different from before. They were not as lazy as before.
