In the Fengming Palace.

The queen, who had a slightly uneasy face, pursed her lips slightly and stared at the tea cup in front of her with a slight lock of eyebrows.

"The eldest daughter of the Zhuang family is so difficult, things are really a little bad......"

The queen, who was talking to herself softly, bent her hand slightly, and tapped it on the table, as if she was thinking about something.

And with the murmur of the queen here, the big palace maid who had been standing behind her took a step forward when she heard the sound, bowed to her slightly, and then said directly: "What Niangniang said, is the daughter of the Zhuang family who has been in and out of the Jinluan Palace recently?" ”

The queen who heard this couldn't help but sigh lightly when she heard this, and there was an obvious sense of irritability between her eyebrows.

"The world is so big, the daughter of the family surnamed Zhuang, there are still a few people who can enter this deep palace, and the two princes are fascinated, and even let them control the Jinluan Palace, even if the palace asks to see, she dares to stop it!"

Queen Nalan Ying's appearance is gentle and elegant, and the tone of her voice in the past is also gentle and gentle, and she does not have deep jurisdiction over the harem on weekdays, but she has the ability to be in charge of the six palaces.

Therefore, in the past, Nalan Ying was a virtuous lady in front of everyone, graceful and luxurious, and a veritable daughter of Fengyi in the world.

Although Nalan Ying is the second queen of Emperor Tiansheng, her reputation is majestic, but she will not be pressed by the previous queen at all, and even because of the prestige of the Nalan family, she is even more recognized by the court, inside and outside the deep palace.

It is precisely because of this that although Nalan Ying's faction is extremely quiet, except for Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, no one has any doubts about it.

Because of this, after Zhuang Mingyue blocked the queen Nalan Ying, who wanted to enter the Jinluan Palace and accompany her up and down, she was also faintly aware of something, so after the attempt failed, she never wanted to enter the Jinluan Palace to take care of Emperor Tiansheng anymore.

In order not to be caught by Zhuang Mingyue, who was already suspicious of her, what kind of evidence could be caught, no matter how big or small.

The more because this is now the most critical time, the more Queen Nalan Ying understands that there must not be the slightest mistake, and it must be done in the safest way.

That's why I feel that Zhuang Mingyue is too difficult to do, and I can't get in yet.

Thinking about how Zhuang Mingyue was blocking her, so that she couldn't see how desperately sick Emperor Tiansheng was in the Jinluan Palace, and whether she would be able to make the next move, Nalan Ying couldn't help frowning again.

The big palace maid on the side didn't know that in this short period of time, her own queen mother had already thought about so many thoughts in her heart.

It was only after seeing her sigh lightly again that she faintly guessed something, and then she spoke again: "If Niangniang thinks that this village family is in the way, why don't you send someone to ...... in secret."

However, before the big palace maid finished her murderous words, she was directly interrupted by the queen with a frown.

"You have followed the palace since you entered the palace, and now you are stepping step by step to the identity of the big palace maid serving by the queen's side, why haven't you grown at all?"

Although Nalan Ying's words were gentle, and she didn't sound like she meant to blame the palace maid too much, the big palace maid on the side, after hearing this, turned slightly pale.

Then he knelt on the ground, and repeatedly admitted his mistake: "The slave is ignorant, and I ask the queen to atone for her sins." ”

The big palace maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to raise her head to admit her mistake.

Because she knew that although Nalan Ying was a model of the head of the six palaces of gentleness and virtuous in front of everyone, in fact, she had a noble status for so many years, but she had always been suppressed by the former queen and the eldest prince Long Zhengning.

Nowadays, in front of the world, it seems to be infinitely beautiful. But in fact, she can't stand out for anything, otherwise everything she does, or the power in her hands is small, will definitely attract the doubts of the ministers of the previous dynasty.

If you don't hold such a measure, you will be judged by everyone as inferior to the former queen, this time she is walking on thin ice step by step to this position, how can Nalan Ying, who can stand out from the crowd of concubines, be an ordinary good class?

It is precisely because of this that even her prince ......

Thinking of the big palace maid here, her heart suddenly sank, and her posture of hanging her head and confessing her guilt suddenly became lower.

And the queen Nalan Ying, who has an ordinary face and slightly dull eyes, does not blame the palace maid who knelt on the ground.

He waved his hand lightly with a slight meaning in his eyes, and then said indifferently: "Get up, this palace doesn't want to punish you much." ”

It's just that after saying what he just said, he didn't listen to the words of the palace maid anymore, and fell into his own thoughts again.

It was unwise for her to punish someone she trusted enough to do these things now, and it was very delayed.

Therefore, after admonishing the palace maid about the matter, Queen Nalan Ying waved her hand directly and asked her to retreat, "Inform them of this matter, let them not want bad things, just wait for the orders of the palace, and don't secretly do anything to the daughter of the Zhuang family or the two princes." ”

The big palace maid, who had been kneeling on the ground and had just stood up, bowed to Queen Nalan Ying when she heard the words, "Yes, the slave maid will go to tell me about this." ”

After saying this, the big palace maid lowered her head and slowly withdrew from the Fengming Palace.

With the departure of the palace maid, the inner hall, which was quiet and silent, completely fell into silent silence because of this.

Only the faint murmur of Queen Nalan Ying reverberated in the large and empty room, until it was silent, and the silence of the past was restored again.

………………………………………………

With the rapid changes in the situation between the DPRK and China, day after day became extremely tense, and the so-called partisan struggle between Long Yuanxiu and Long Zhengning among the ministers became more intense.

I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will stand on the wrong team, and under this kind of decision of only two princes, a little difference will definitely have a great impact on them, and even wipe out the clan.

It's just that although these two factions are above the court, the dispute is incompatible.

But the two princes didn't look at the so-called partisan division and the battle for the succession at all, just to cooperate with Zhuang Mingyue in this scene, so they would pretend to be in power.

But in fact, every time after the two of them deal with their affairs during the day, when it comes to the night, Long Zhengning will secretly go to Long Yuanxiu's mansion to discuss things with Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue, as well as those who secretly choose one of them and want to serve him as the master.

It is precisely because of this, that in this short period of time, the three of them have understood everything in the past few days at the fastest speed.

In the same way, from among them, the two factions who stood on Long Yuanxiu's side and Long Zhengning's side were all counted to form a list.

As for the people outside this list, most of them are on Empress Nalan Ying's side, and the other half are the old ministers who are wholeheartedly loyal to His Majesty.

After figuring out the distribution and position of these ministers of the DPRK and China, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu also began to investigate deeply, and the people from the Empress Nalan Ying and her faction came.

After all, in the final analysis, because they had left Tiansheng for a few years before, and the Nalan family had always kept a low profile in recent years, they really didn't know enough about this queen, let alone had any dealings with her.

Now this is not just an ordinary matter, but a major event about the "battle for succession", so in this case, it will be difficult to grasp and explore for a while, how the new queen and her mother's Nalan family think, and what their plans are.

However, after some investigation between the two of them, it was found that things were not as they had guessed.

Today's queen Nalan Ying not only does not have any deep hatred with Emperor Tiansheng, but even since she entered the palace, she has been unknown.

Now being able to sit on the throne of this queen is not because of any means to get it, but because Emperor Tiansheng saw the former queen, in order to let Long Zhengning sit on the throne, so that the original Tiansheng Dynasty was indeed in a deadlock.

Then the queen was deposed, and Emperor Tiansheng chose Nalan Ying, who was a concubine, from among the concubines.

First, it is because she has no children under her knees and for so many years, she has always been a gentle and virtuous woman who does not fight or grab. Even if there were so many things that happened in turmoil in the court before, Nalan Ying, including the entire Nalan family, never stood in line, but always remained neutral and loyal to Emperor Tiansheng alone.

So after that, Emperor Tiansheng will make the concubine, who has always been unfavored, stand out from the crowd of concubines and crown her as the queen.

It is precisely because of this that in this case, not only everyone, but also Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, who have already investigated, except for the few remaining suspicions, it is really impossible to find out how to convict the queen of the real crime.

It is also for this reason that Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, who are here, have to put aside the matter of investigating Queen Nalan Ying for the time being.
