"If you want the wind to prevail, the rain will prevail? Then you won't be a widow in the end?"

Xiao Shu thought about it and didn't want to agree. She had only met Xiao Jinyan a few times, and she smiled like a fox every time. She couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"I don't want to marry him. After marrying him, I will be suffocated to death. People like him deserve to die alone."

Concubine Wan Gui shook her head. This daughter really has no foresight. Although Xiao Jinyan is in poor health, the benefits he brings are also great!

"Think about it carefully. If General Su insists on not wanting you, will you really stay in the palace? If your third brother becomes the emperor and we are expelled from the country, you will not have anyone to rely on.

, don’t blame me, a mother-in-law, for not warning you.”

Of course Xiao Shu knew the importance of this matter, but she was not stupid. The reason why her mother-in-law asked her to marry Xiao Jinyan was just to get his rights and his help.

Even if Zhang De changes sides in the face of battle, with Xiao Jinyan's support behind him, the three of them can survive.

In fact, thinking about it this way, he was indeed the best candidate. Xiao Shu hesitated for a moment and said to her mother and concubine:

"Let me go back and think about it. I will tell you after I think it through."

Concubine Wan Gui nodded: "I hope you can understand the importance of the current situation. This is not the time for you to show off your temper. If you can hold General Su in your hands, I will never stop him, but if he is really ruthless to you, then we

It’s time to choose another place.”

Xiao Shu nodded and turned around to leave.

"Don't get too close to that Rui Bai. Her current identity is still unclear, and your father is not in good health right now, so don't go looking for him all the time."

"knew."

The eighth princess said impatiently, waved her sleeves and left. She really needed to think about this matter.

Concubine Wan Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching her daughter leave.

"Where is Mr. Zhang now?"

"Your Majesty, Master Zhang is already waiting in the pavilion."

Concubine Wan Gui nodded.

"Go get my plain white gown!"

"yes!"

The maids didn't know what Concubine Wan Gui's purpose was, but when they saw that she was wearing a plain white gown and her hair was not tied up, they asked cautiously.

"Do you want to use the golden phoenix and pearl hairpin?"

"No need, he likes more elegant clothes."

Of course, Concubine Wan Gui didn't know what kind of clothes Zhang De liked, but she thought about it recently. The clothes Li Yuezhu wore when she appeared in front of him were very elegant and girlish. Although Concubine Wan Gui is now in her 30s,

She is well maintained and looks to be in her early 20s.

Just like that, she wore a plain white shirt, without any decoration on her head, and walked to the pavilion in the back garden without following the group of slaves and maids behind her.

"Do you know why I can come in and out of the harem at will?"

Zhang De had heard the footsteps a long time ago, and he knew exactly who was coming.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to ask me this question as soon as he came."

In fact, everyone in the palace knows why Zhang De can enter and leave the palace at will. He just wants to show that he is not perfect.

Zhang De obviously understood what everyone thought of him. Concubine Wan Gui did not answer his words. Zhang De sneered and then asked:

"Then, please help me explain why the second prince and the third prince can enter and exit the harem at will."

Concubine Wan Gui also knew the embarrassment, but she just didn’t know what Zhang De’s purpose was in asking this.

"As for the princes, that's a different matter. After all, they were born in the palace and are His Majesty's biological sons. Naturally, they can enter and leave the harem at any time."

Zhang De nodded understandingly.

"I just heard a funny thing."

Concubine Wan Gui stood behind Zhang De. Seeing that Zhang De had not turned back to look at her, she was not in a hurry and asked leisurely:

"What can make Mr. Zhang feel funny?"

"Just now the eighth princess ran out crying. I happened to be standing at the door and heard a huge news."

Concubine Wan Gui stood there indifferently.

"Do you want to marry the eighth princess to Xiao Jinyan?"

"So what? Now this is the best way. Even if Xiao Jinyan is deep-minded, he has to accept this marriage, and all I want is his power."

Zhang De nodded: "I didn't say anything against it. On the contrary, I agreed with both hands. Xiao Jinyan is too dangerous, but everyone underestimated his ability and thought he was about to die. But this illusion has been

It has lasted for more than 20 years and he has not died yet. I think if it were not for natural disasters or man-made disasters, it would be possible for him to live like this for more than ten years."

Concubine Wan Gui squinted her eyes and looked at Zhang De standing in front of her.

"I don't know what Mr. Zhang wants to say, but I can say it bluntly, I don't want to beat around the bush with you."

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me. I just agree with you marrying the princess to Xiao Jinyan. I just want to remind you out of kindness that Xiao Jinyan is not as harmless as he seems on the surface."

Concubine Wan Gui certainly understood this truth and was sufficiently mentally prepared.

"I came to see you for other reasons. The cause of the poison on Your Majesty's body has been found."

"who is it?"

"Whoever the imperial concubine wishes to be, that is who she wishes to be."

"I didn't expect her to be so bold, but this is unreasonable! Is it a little hasty for her to take action now? I don't think he is ready."

"It's a bit hasty, but what if what he's holding is going to be swapped."

Zhang De turned to look at Concubine Wan Gui: "I need you to tie down Rui Bai now and distract him. Now that the border is in turmoil, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to be fought."

Neither of them wants any problems to arise in the country. After all, if there are problems in the country, it will be people like them who suffer.

"okay, I get it."

"Do you know that the third prince has already started to look for the seventh prince?"

"I've heard a little bit about this." Concubine Wan Gui originally thought it was a rumor, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Just a few days ago, the third prince secretly went to the temple to meet the seventh prince. He obviously wanted to recruit him, but I don't know whether the seventh prince agreed."

Zhang De frowned, the seventh prince was also a variable, but with such a good relationship between him and Li Yuezhu, Zhang De couldn't believe that the seventh prince had actually been imprisoned in the temple for so many years.

"Did you find anything?"

Concubine Wan Gui asked nervously. They all naturally ignored the Seventh Prince. Although they didn't want to admit it, they really didn't notice any unusual movement in the Seventh Prince.

"There's no movement, but that's what worries me the most."

Zhang De frowned. The situation is getting more and more complicated now. Everyone is moving forward in thick fog, and no one can see clearly what the current situation is like.

The two conspired for a long time, and it was only in the evening that Zhang De turned around and left.
