Queen Wang sighed, and just wanted to say something, but she only felt shocked all over, and subconsciously looked at the top of the hall.

Under this look, he immediately shouted:

"What a bold thief!! Who's outside the temple?! Don't hurry up and take down this thief with this palace!! ”

……

It's night.

More than halfway through the sub-hour.

In the Imperial Palace.

In the dormitory, Mei Niang didn't feel sleepy, just holding a roll, reclining on the soft pillow next to the couch, calm eyelashes, not knowing what to think.

After a while, I saw a black shadow flashing, and Yuru, who was covered with half of his face covered by an ink towel, rushed into the hall.

"How?"

Mei Niang raised her eyelashes, her bright eyes shining with dazzling and sharp light like fire diamonds.

"Lady peace of mind, it's ready."

Yuru tore off the ink towel and said with a smile:

"Right now, there is already chaos in the Wanchun Palace, but I'm afraid that the queen herself is also in chaos, and I don't know where to go."

Mei Niang nodded:

"Good.

In that case, it's just a matter of watching the show. ”

Yuru looked at Mei Niang, hesitated but didn't dare to retreat.

Sensing her strangeness, Mei Niang smiled faintly and said:

"What's wrong?

But what doubts do you have in your heart? ”

"Yes......

Why did the lady make such an arrangement?

That Concubine Lu Xian, she can't get out of the palace door half a step now, if she acts like this for a lady......

Will the queen believe it? ”

Mei Niang smiled faintly:

"I didn't expect her to believe it.

All I begged was that she would be suspicious.

As long as she is suspicious...... Naturally, we will be in a mess, and it will be convenient for us to do things naturally. ”

Yonghui two years.

August.

The day after tomorrow is celebrated, so the early dynasty is above, Li Zhi is specially announced that he is allowed to take a seven-day rest (that is, to take a seven-day holiday), and the hundred officials are grateful.

Then, the eldest grandson of the Taiwei Wuji came out and asked Li Zhizhi to give the Lu family a crime.

Li Zhi was shocked and asked why, so the eldest grandson Wuji reported all kinds of lawlessness and disrespect of the Lu family in the palace and the restless things of the Lu family outside the palace one by one in the recent days.

Li Zhi was furious when he heard this, and the officials of the Lu family also came out of the ranks, and they were ashamed.

Li Zhi degraded Concubine Lu Xian's father and brother to three levels lower than each other, and demoted them from Chang'an.

All the ministers obeyed.

However, there are still discussions, thinking that the Taiyuan Wang family should be equally responsible.

However, no one dared to discuss it about the queen's middle palace.

……

It's night.

Changan.

The eldest grandson of the house.

Inside the back garden.

Lu Chengqing sat opposite the eldest grandson Wuji, indifferently.

The eldest grandson Wuji poured him a glass of wine with his own hands, and said in front of him:

"Brother Chengqing, hateful old man?"

"Promotion and depreciation of honor and disgrace, the norm of the official field, where is the hatred?

What's more, Concubine Xian Niangniang had something to do, and Lord Taiwei, as the emperor's uncle, should take it for granted......

It's expected, but what's wrong? ”

Lu Chengqing smiled faintly again, took the wine, and sipped it carefully.

Seeing him confess so frankly, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled with relief and said:

Sure enough, the favor is not shocked, it is Lu Gong.

The old man bowed. ”

Lu Chengqing thanked the eldest grandson Wuji, but said:

"The old man is just picking up people's teeth...... People who are really pampered and not shocked have other strengths.

But Lord Taiwei summoned the old man to come today, but there was something else? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said:

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Chengqing Gong......"

Immediately, he said:

"Today, the old man's move is really a helpless strategy.

Chengqing Gong should also know that the lord favors the lady Wu at present, and has the intention of making her a concubine.

And the meaning of the words, several arrangements, obviously intended to establish it as the position of the fourth concubine, or the new concubine......

Although we and other old ministers desperately admonished each other to stop the master's partiality, they could not defeat the current trend of the Wu clan's favor.

At this time, the most important thing is that the four concubines and ladies must not make mistakes again, and make the truth true, so that the lord has a reason to degrade one of them, and establish the Wu clan as a concubine.

If this woman becomes a concubine, and has a son......

Then my position in the middle palace of the Tang Dynasty is in danger. ”

Lu Chengqing nodded, and said with a straight face:

"That's why Lord Taiwei has taken such pains to ask the Lord to blame the old man and the Lu officials.

It seems to be degraded to the third level and released to other provinces, but in fact, it preserves its strength and keeps it in order to plan for the future......

It can also ensure that Concubine Lu Xian does not lose her position at the moment, so that the Wu family can supreme her wish.

Yes and no? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed:

"Exactly......

Speaking of which, it is a sure thing that the Lord will seal her.

It's just that this concubine and the concubine are ......

But there are two endings.

Therefore, even between this square inch, it is also impossible to lose.

It was the old man who made this decision, and asked Chengqing Gong to forgive Haihan. ”

Lu Chengqing smiled calmly and said:

"If he has said this, the old man should act on the orders of the captain.

I just ask the Captain to make sure that there is one thing......

In the future, no matter how the old man and others are disposed of, please ensure that the virtuous concubine is safe for life. ”

"This is natural."

At the same time.

Tai Chi Palace.

Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

In the side hall, Li Zhi and Li Ji shared the seat of the monarch and the minister, sat opposite each other, drank wine, and discussed the matter.

"The British public thinks that this uncle's intention seems to be to attack the clan, but in fact, it is to force me to keep the position of this virtuous concubine?"

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked.

Li Ji nodded, and said:

"Although Uncle Yuan is also dedicated to protecting the heir in the womb of Wu Niangzi, but for him, Wu Niangzi has been a big trouble in his heart for many years, and it is impossible to forgive and understand......

So this time, most of it is to block the way of the martial lady to become a concubine.

But ......"

Li Ji hesitated for a moment before he said:

"However, from the minister's point of view, I am afraid that Uncle Yuan has long seen that the lord has no intention of making Wu Niangzi a concubine, but in fact, what he is doing is to seek a concubine in name and make a concubine......

So most of what he wants to do is to take this opportunity to make the incident between the clan and the martial lady bigger. ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows:

"Because Mei Niang's mind is equivalent to my mind.

Therefore, if the relationship between Mei Niang and the clan deteriorates day by day, for me, the clan will also become the target of eradication......

Uncle wants to pretend to be my hand and destroy his enemy......

Yes and no? ”

Li Ji shook his head and said:

"In this matter......

Lord, the enemy of Uncle Yuan, isn't it the enemy of the Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, this time, Uncle Yuan is also a painstaking person, and he acts like this, just hoping to see the lord clear the clan from the government and the opposition as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhi said in a deep voice:

"I said a long time ago that it is absolutely impossible to purge the clan."

Li Ji nodded, but said:

"But for Uncle Yuan, no, it has to be done."

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he say:

"Now that the matter has come to this, I don't know what the prince thinks, if I pass the order at this moment, I will give Mei Niang as a concubine......

Uncle and clan two lineage, what is the improper way to deal with it? ”

Li Ji thought about it for a while, but shook his head and said:

"Most of the time it doesn't work.

In the final analysis, after all, it is such a major event, and it involves a wide range of things.

So I still have to wait for Wu Niangzi to give birth to the prince safely before I can make a decision. ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth:

"But right now, those women can't tolerate the safety of her mother and son!

Even in recent days, even the people in the clan outside the palace have made repeated moves, and their hands have reached out to the palace!

Mei Niang's mother and son are safe, and I am really worried! ”

When Li Ji heard this, he said with a forked hand:

"Then my lord, has Wu Niangzi ever complained about this to the lord?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said:

"This ...... Never. ”

"That's it. With the wisdom and talent of a lady, it may not be impossible to deal with such a situation at the moment. The previous events were just a moment of negligence because the mother was a new mother and was overjoyed.

Otherwise, how could a lady who is so clever and cautious teach a little Concubine Lu Xian to do it?

But when it comes to it, it's a good thing.

Presumably from today, the lady will do it, once she does it, those people in the harem, and even the former dynasty except for a few strong old ministers such as Uncle Yuan......

There will be no one to be an adversary.

The Lord has great peace of mind. ”

……

Li Ji is right, Mei Niang has already arranged it.

Even, she had already arranged it.

It's night.

Halfway through the ugly hour, the entire Taiji Palace was sleeping in silence, and there were bursts of miserable cries in the Qianqiu Palace, which had been silent for a long time.

A concubine named Yao'er was a close attendant, with hideous facial features, and died in her room.

And it was Concubine Shu herself who found her.
