First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 783 The King of Palace Fight (1st update)

After finishing his work, Shangguan Yan got out of the dog hole in the cold palace and met up with Gu Chengfeng, who had been waiting for a long time.

 Horse riding or riding in a carriage makes too much noise, so Qinggong is the best choice for doing things in the middle of the night.

 Gu Chengfeng used Qinggong to bring Shangguan Yan back to the Imperial Master's Hall.

 Gu Jiao, her aunt, and her uncle have been waiting in Gu Jiao's house for a long time, and Xiao Heng has already returned from viewing the house.

 Xiao Jingkong lay on the bed and fell asleep.

 After the two entered the house, Gu Jiao went behind the screen to check Shangguan Yan's injuries.

Shangguan Yan’s spine underwent percutaneous pedicle internal fixation. Although she used the best medicine and recovered well, it was still too much to work so hard all at once.

"I'm fine." Shangguan Yan patted the armor on his body, "This thing is very labor-saving."

Gu Jiao took off the armor and looked at her wounds. There was no redness or swelling at the sutured area.

“Are you feeling any other discomfort?” Gu Jiao asked.

"No."

 Just a little tired.

 Shangguan Yan did not say this.

 Everyone is willing to do whatever it takes for the common cause. What does it matter if she is a little tired and in pain?

 It’s all worth it.

Shangguan Yan was about to put on the armor, but Gu Jiao stopped him.

Gu Jiao said: "You should go back to your room to rest now. You can't sit or stand anymore."

 “I want to hear it.” Shangguan Yan refused to leave.

 She wants to join in the fun.

She has a naturally lively temperament and has not felt like home for a long time after being imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum for so many years.

 She wants to be with everyone.

 Gu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Then you squeeze in with Xiao Jingkong first, and we will finish the matter, and then let Aheng take you back to the house. However, you have to be careful of him kicking you."

 Xiao Jingkong's sleeping state is very psychedelic. Sometimes he is as good as a silkworm baby, and sometimes he is like an invincible little Destructor.

 “I know!” She has some skills after all!

Shangguan Yan lay down on the bed behind the screen, and Gu Jiao lowered the curtain for her.

 She told the story of sending the little man off at the palace through the curtains and screens.

Although Gu Chengfeng knew the plan in advance, when he actually heard the whole process, he still felt that this operation was too outrageous.

Those concubines never expected that Shangguan Yan would say the exact same lines to everyone.

You still use words as evidence, how sincere and undeceitful you are!

“But, will they really take the bait?” Gu Chengfeng was worried that these people would retreat or sense something was wrong.

The aunt said calmly: "They are on guard against each other, they don't know how to exchange information, and they can't help each other. As for taking the bait... If you cast so many nets, you can always catch a few fish. Besides, the temptation of the rear position is too great."

 Empress Xiao's position in Zhao State is stable, and the prince has the support of Marquis Xuanping, so there is basically no possibility of being shaken, so the Chao Gang is relatively stable.

It was only when Gu Chengfeng came to Dayan that he realized that a harem could be so bloody: "I still don't understand something. It's okay for Wang Xianfei and Feng Zhaoyi to be tempted. After all, they don't have a prince under their knees. Supporting the third princess to ascend to the throne is for them to consolidate their power." The best way. But don’t the other three have adult princes?”

Xiao Heng said: "First support Shangguan Yan to ascend to the throne, borrow Shangguan Yan's hand to ascend to the throne, and then wait for an opportunity to depose Shangguan Yan. As queens, their sons under their knees are legitimate sons, and it is natural for them to inherit the throne."

 Empress Dowager Zhuang nodded: "Well, that's the truth."

Gu Chengfeng was shocked and realized: "So, we can still use each other."

There are no simple women in the harem. Whoever lives longer depends on who has deep thoughts.

 Empress Dowager Zhuang yawned: "Okay, let's go to bed. The next step is their business. It's up to them to worry about what to do and whether it can succeed."

“Oh.” Gu Jiao stood up, cleared the table, and prepared to go to bed.

“Then I’ll come back tomorrow.” Xiao Heng said to her softly.

Gu Jiao nodded and curled her lips: "See you tomorrow."

 The old man also stood up and left the banquet: "Old man, I'm tired too. Let's go back to the room and rest!"

Gu Chengfeng watched everyone leave one by one with a confused look on his face.

 No, you just left?

 Don’t you want to worry any more?

 So big-hearted?

Gu Jiao said: "Auntie, you go to bed first, I'll go to Gu Changqing's place tonight."

 Empress Dowager Zhuang waved her hand: "I understand, go ahead."

 Gu Chengfeng fell into deep self-doubt: "Is there something wrong with me or with you?"

 …

 Xianfu Palace.

Concubine Wang Xian, with long hair and silk pajamas, sat quietly in front of the window sill.

"Mother." Madam Liu came over holding a candle lantern.

Mama Liu was the palace attendant who had just recognized Shangguan Yan. She was the personal maid brought into the palace by Concubine Xian from her natal family. She had been serving Concubine Xian since she was eleven or twelve years old.

It can be said that he is the most trusted palace servant of Xian Fei.

 “Chunxiu, what do you think of tonight?” Concubine Wang Xian asked.

Mama Liu gently placed the candle lamp on the window sill and thought for a while: "It's hard to say."

Concubine Wang Xian said: "There is nothing to say between you and me. Whatever is in your heart, it doesn't matter what you say."

Mother Liu said: "I feel that the third princess is different from before. She has changed a lot, even more than what was rumored."

A hint of approval flashed across Wang Xianfei's eyes: "I think so too. Her performance tonight was really too scheming."

Mama Liu looked at Concubine Wang Xian: "However, the empress still decided to give it a try, didn't she?"

Mama Liu is the person who knows Concubine Wang Xian best in the world. She knows exactly what Concubine Wang Xian is thinking.

Concubine Wang Xian did not deny it: "She is indeed a more suitable candidate than the Sixth Prince, and she is more likely to help me ascend to the throne."

When Grandma Liu heard this, she knew that Concubine Wang Xian had made up her mind. She immediately stopped trying to dissuade her and asked, "But Concubine Han's side is not so easy to succeed."

Concubine Wang Xian said calmly: "If it were easy, she wouldn't have found me here. She could do it by herself."

Thinking of something, Grandma Liu asked in confusion: "All the major families were involved in the frame-up of the Xuanyuan family. Why did she stick to the Han family?"

Concubine Wang Xian sarcastically said: "Isn't it the crown prince's first choice? It's just that he sent someone to the imperial mausoleum to assassinate her. He also sent the Han family to assassinate her son. It's not normal for her to be able to swallow this breath."

Mama Liu nodded: "The prince has acted too hastily. Shangguan Qing is about to die. What is the need to deal with him?"

Concubine Wang Xian looked at the moonlight outside the window: "The prince is worried that Shangguan Qing will take advantage of the monarch's sympathy for him before he dies, so as to help the prince restore his throne?"

 Otherwise, Concubine Wang Xian would not have imagined why the prince would touch the eldest grandson of the emperor.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Concubine Wang Xian looked at the paperwork on the table. It not only contained the transaction between the two of them, but also their signatures and signatures. This was a shady transaction.

 But it is also a binding deal.

She said: "The people we have placed in Guiyi Palace can take action."

Mama Liu hesitated for a moment and said: "My dear, that is our biggest trump card. Do we really want to use him on this matter? Once exposed, we will no longer be able to monitor the movements of Guiyi Palace."

Concubine Wang Xian picked up the agreement signed by Shangguan Yan and said calmly: "As long as Concubine Han is gone, there is no need for Guiyi Palace to monitor it, right?"

 The next day.

Concubine Wang Xian started her own plan.

She asked Nanny Liu to find the chess piece placed in Guiyi Palace. The chess piece, like the little plum, was also a meticulous work that had been placed there for many years.

Han Guifei always thinks that she is the smartest, but sometimes the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, and there is still a mountain higher than the other.

 It’s just that Concubine Han is very cautious. Even after several years, the chess piece still cannot gain Concubine Han’s full trust.

 But you don’t have to be Concubine Han’s first confidant to do this.

“Do you understand what I said?” Behind the rockery, Mother Liu handed him the long brocade box in her wide sleeves.

The **** accepted it, kicked it back into his sleeve, and whispered: "Please don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter! Please also...treat my family well afterward!"

Mama Liu said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will do it."

 The **** looked around cautiously and returned to Guiyi Palace cautiously.

 On the other side, Concubine Dong Chen and others also started their own actions.

Concubine Dong Chen did not do anything in Guiyi Palace, but the information controlled by the Dong family was no less than that in the hands of Concubine Wang Xian.

 She got in touch with the Dong family and borrowed a master from the Dong family.

The female guard accompanying the master said: "The head of the family said that Concubine Han has a very powerful aide beside her, and we must avoid him."

Concubine Dong Chen said sarcastically: "Is she so unruly? She lets a foreign man come in and out of her bedroom!"

The female guard said: "That man is not always in the palace. He only comes to discuss with Concubine Han when something happens."

Concubine Dong Chen said calmly: "Okay, you can figure it out for yourself. No matter what method you use, I must give this thing to you and put it in the Han family's bedroom!"

-

 On the first day, there was no movement from the palace.

 The next day, there was still no movement in the palace.

 Gu Chengfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore. When he sneaked into the Imperial Master's Palace at night, he couldn't help but ask Gu Jiao: "Do you think they have done anything? Why is there no news yet?"

They must have moved, and whether they will be successful or not depends on whether they have the ability.

It is generally said that planning is done by humans and accomplished by heaven.

On the fourth day, the monarch accompanied the young princess to visit Xiao Heng and Shangguan Yan at the Imperial Master's Palace.

Not long after he sat down, Zhang Dequan came over in a panic: "Your Majesty! Something happened in the palace!"
