If he had heard this sentence just now, Zhou An would definitely think that the queen was testing him again, but after seeing Shangguan Rong's face, he turned out to be the face of Fuguo. This kind of face hardly appears on a woman, let alone Talk about a woman who looks so beautiful.
"Does the empress know what the empress dowager ordered me to do?" Zhou An asked, taking the empress's right hand, pretending to caress her hand, and carefully looking at her palm.
"I know, the queen mother forbids the emperor to practice martial arts, read any books related to state affairs and emperor's art, and even the things outside the harem are not allowed to be known to the emperor.
But is the emperor willing to be a caged dragon like this?The emperor doesn't think about it, although you have endless beauty and wealth in the harem, how long can this last? "Shangguan Rong's tone was a little uneven and charming, and he didn't care about Zhou An looking at his hand.
Zhou An put down her hand and looked at Yiren in her arms, a little undecided. It was the first time for him to look at a person, and he was confident in this book, but he still had question marks about his ability to look at a picture. After all, he came from modern times. The earth, this is a matter related to your own safety, and you dare not mess around with this kind of thing.
"If the queen has anything to say, you might as well say it directly," Zhou An said.
Shangguan Rong immediately got up and knelt down and said: "Please the emperor to be a good emperor for the sake of Qianyuan, the country and the common people. The ministers and concubines are willing to follow and assist the emperor to the death."
He was not surprised that Shangguan Rong suddenly said such a thing, but it just proved that what he saw was right. As soon as this woman came here, it was obvious that she was not in line with what the Queen Mother did. He felt strange, but now it is understandable.
"Can you tell me, as a direct descendant of the Shangguan family, why did you fight against the queen mother? Do you know that if it succeeds, your Shangguan family will definitely kill the nine clans. If you fail, the Shangguan family will definitely not spare you." Zhou An asked sternly.
"The concubine just doesn't want the Shangguan family to become sinners through the ages, and also hopes to give the Shangguan family a chance. Although the Qianyuan Empire has a strong military, it is only a blessing left by the ancestors.
Now most of the treasury's wealth is in Shangguan's family, the chaos in the Western Regions, the northern, eastern, and southern countries are eyeing each other, and the Qianyuan Empire can be destroyed in an instant if it makes a wrong step.
At this moment, the factions above the court are still fighting. Although Zuo Xiang has the heart to save the country, he has nothing to do with the drag on the Shangguan family.
The emperor certainly doesn't know that there are already many villages in our country on the border of the Western Regions suffering from voodoo infection, and the border is unable to treat them, so the whole village can only be slaughtered and burned.
Although there was no direct confrontation in the north, the patrol troops clashed with the Arctic Kingdom many times, resulting in many casualties. The opponent was waiting for the opportunity for the expansion of voodoo in the Western Regions.
Although the Canglong Empire did not take any action, it is known from all information that Canglong is secretly supporting the Arctic Kingdom.
Many people from the five southern countries have sneaked into Qianjing, and even the emperor's concubines may have their people. Please consider the words of the concubine.
To tell the truth to the emperor, once the empress dowager made proper preparations to get rid of those who stood in the way, and the Western Regions voodoo poisoned the country, then the emperor would definitely be executed as a ruined king, and the empress dowager could take advantage of the chaos to proclaim the emperor. Shangguan Rong said all these words in one breath, and looked at Zhou An with a determined look.
If this word reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, even if she is from Shangguan's family, she will be executed.
Zhou An stepped forward to help her up, sat beside her, poured her a glass of wine and asked with a smile, "How does the queen want to break this situation?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Rong knew that Zhou An's heart had been moved, and what he needed now was a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that would make Zhou An dare to resist.
She immediately said: "The battle between Prime Minister Zuo and the Queen Mother is an excellent opportunity, but now Prime Minister Zuo is weak. If you give Prime Minister Zuo some help, the Queen Mother can be forced to use the cards in her hand. Chaos, the queen mother must go all out if she wants to build a complete Qianyuan Empire, and then she will have no time to take care of the emperor, and that is also the emperor's chance.
The concubine is willing to be the eyes and ears of the emperor, and speak good words in front of the queen mother, so that the queen mother can relax her vigilance towards you and concentrate on dealing with the leftist faction.The concubine can let the personal servant girl out of the palace to contact the court ministers for the emperor and win their support. "
"Okay, all are welcome, queen." Zhou An smiled, and lamented that the royal people are surrounded by people who are good at strategy, and everyone is ambitious. If you can hold it down, that's another empress dowager.
Persuading Zhou An, Shangguan Rong was overjoyed, and said shyly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let my concubine serve you."
Looking at the queen with a peach blossom face, Zhou An's heart beat wildly, and the two walked towards the bed hand in hand.
Chapter 9 Turmoil Caused by a Pill
After waking up the next day, Shangguan Rong accompanied Zhou An to the Imperial Study Room, which belongs to the scope of the main palace, where the emperor reads and works, and was not allowed to step in before.
Enter here, sign in and get a whole set of books on the way of the emperor, which will be used by him immediately, turning into white light and flying into the brows.
Although he is not interested in this, but at least he also understands the emperor's strategy, which is very different from ordinary people. Everything is no longer judged by simple good, evil and profit. It makes him marvel that the emperor is really not something ordinary people can do. It's exhausting.
After he sat down, he looked around and took some books to read at random. They were all useless books, which should have been sorted out by the Empress Dowager.
He didn't intend to read a book, he came here just to sign in, to light up the entire map of the main palace as soon as possible, and at the same time, he was still thinking about the one-night spring dinner with the queen last night.
Let him discover that the queen is also a master, and probably has the realm of the acquired sixth level, and she uses the technique of yin and yang to improve his internal strength for three years at once.
Shangguan Rong seemed to be quite familiar with this place. At Zhou An's request, she took him to wander around the main palace to sign in. The things were much better than before, and there were many rare treasures and precious calligraphy and paintings.
The queen was always by her side, and the two talked and laughed happily, feeling like a couple who came here for tourism.
Of course, there must be a group of maids and four purple guards behind them, obviously to protect their safety, but in fact to monitor their every move.
With the amulet of Shangguan Rong, I just walked into the palaces to have a look, and the purple guards were not easy to stop, so Zhou An finally walked through all the palaces in the main palace, and he had already checked in several important places on the day of the wedding.
Let him get the Qianyuan Dragon Boots, Qianyuan Dragon Hand, Qianyuan Dragon Helmet, and the Qianyuan Dragon Armor he got before, which means he has prepared the whole set of equipment.
After the entire map of the main palace is lit up, the system rewards Qianyang Tiangang Fist, which is a prefecture-level martial art of the royal family. It is a boxing method created by the founding emperor based on the formula of the vast universe. When used together, it can exert amazing power.
After the two had lunch together, the queen went to Yongshou Palace to meet the Queen Mother, Zhou An came to Changle Palace and called Sai Naimu to have fun.
After the song and dance sounded, Sai Naimu leaned in Zhou An's arms, and said in a jealous voice: "Your Majesty, you have a queen, have you forgotten about her?"
Zhou An took a sip of wine and laughed, "Are you also jealous?"
"The servant is worried about the emperor, afraid that you will be controlled by the queen, after all, she is from the Shangguan family." Sai Naimu said, fingers still sliding slowly across Zhou An's chest.
"Now that the entire palace is under the control of the queen mother, there is no need for the Shangguan family to do anything extra. What happened to the poisoner you investigated?" Zhou An asked, grabbing her mischievous hand.
"Ma Combo from the Tai Hospital, this poison is not particularly toxic, but it is fatal to ordinary people, especially when the Qi and blood flow is accelerated, the poison will quickly spread throughout the body, and finally it is difficult to breathe, until death.
There will be no traces until death, just like dying with suffocation.Moreover, within half an hour after death, the poison will be transformed into water and dissolved in the blood, making it difficult to detect.
Your Majesty, do you need me to repay him with his own way? Sai Naimu said, seeing that his hand was being grabbed, he leaned in with his body.
"No, if you do it, you may be found by the Ziyiwei, but is there a way for people to see this poison?" How could Zhou An refuse, and the person who delivered it to the door unceremoniously joined hands.
"It's simple, soak it in the wine, and the servant will put something else to make the poison appear." Sai Naimu smiled provocatively, pulled out the hairpin, and stirred it in his wine glass.
Zhou An immediately called out: "Come here, ask the Tai Hospital to send Yuanyang Pill."
Not long after, the elixir was delivered, Zhou An opened the exquisite wooden box, and there were six red pills inside.
"Your Majesty, I will feed you." Senaimu sniffed the pills, picked up one and put it into Zhou An's mouth, but his hand slipped and the pill fell into the wine glass on the table.
Soon the drink turned purple, and Zhou An showed anger when he saw it, pointing at the person who delivered the medicine at the Tai Hospital, and said angrily, "Come here, take it."
The purple guard at the door rushed in immediately and restrained the two medicine deliverers.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I just ordered to send Yuanyang Pill." The two hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, looking terrified, not knowing what happened.
"No. [-] Ziyi, send the contents of the cup to check, whether there is any problem."
Just as Zhou An finished speaking, a person jumped out of the corner and landed in front of Zhou An. He glanced at the wine in the glass, picked it up with both hands and said, "Yes."
Although Zi Yiwei is monitoring Zhou An, he is also responsible for his safety, and Zhou An can let them do some small things.
Watching No. 7 Ziyi take the wine soaked in the pills and leave with a box of Yuanyang Dan, Zhou Ancai sat down and said, "Continue."
The dancers immediately danced, and the music reminded him that he and Sai Naimu looked at each other and smiled, which gave the Queen Mother a chance to find trouble with the Left Prime Minister, and I believe that the Queen Mother would never let go of such a good opportunity.
Inside Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting cross-legged on a futon practicing kung fu, when No. 7 Ziyi's voice came from outside the door: "Empress Dowager, No. 7 has something important to report."
