Concubine Lian took two steps back and said, "The Queen is so vicious! Why did she do this?"

"Why?" Jiang Lan sneered, "It's not because you are a member of the Lian family. Your Lian family has great achievements. If you give birth to a dragon seed, you still don't know who will be the crown prince in the future... The emperor is now over forty. , the position of prince is still vacant, no one can know what the Sacred Heart is thinking, and it is not yet known who will win the position of prince..."

"But why is it me? Those women didn't also give birth to the emperor's dragon son. Why are they fine!" Concubine Lian thought: If her child had not died, he would have been ten years old.

Hua Jianli was also curious, "Since the Queen wants to kill Nianxiang, the woman in the harem, why can other women do it?"

Jiang Lan sneered coldly from her chest, "If you think about it carefully, what is the family background of women who give birth to princes? Will it hinder the queen's plans?"

Concubine Lian suddenly thought, yes, all the concubines who gave birth to princes were either the daughters of third- and fourth-grade minor officials, or from families with no power. Concubines with strong backgrounds like her and Jiang Lan did not give birth to dragon seeds.

Thinking hard.

Jiang Lan continued, "Even now the eldest prince and second prince cannot escape the clutches of the queen."

"The eldest prince, the second prince?" Hua Jianli was even less familiar with these two people.

Jiang Lan said, "When the emperor was still a prince, there was a wife who was very friendly to each other. After giving birth to two princes, he passed away. Then Wang Linglong came in and treated the two princes quite well. Later, with the support of the eldest princess, Next, the emperor ascended the throne, and Wang Linglong naturally rose to the top..."

Wang Linglong is the queen's maiden name, and Jiang Lan should be the only one in the entire harem who can call her by her first name.

"So, she took action against the emperor's eldest son?" Hua Jianli said.

Jiang Lan nodded, "Look at the current eldest prince, who is submissive and cannot be used for much purpose. He is considered useless. Although the second prince has some talents, he is a lame man. Even if the other princes have some talents, they are hiding them. How can they dare to show up? She shows off in front of her... The queen has been planning for her son all these years, but now, the fourth prince is still just the fourth prince, which shows that the emperor is still a little afraid of the queen..."

Although Jiang Lan was a noble concubine, she could not guess the emperor's thoughts.

Concubine Lian narrowed her eyes and said angrily, "She has done all kinds of bad things. This is God's punishment for her."

"So, we can join forces to bring Wang down?" Jiang Lan extended an olive branch to the two of them.

Hua Jianli waved her hand and said, "This is a grudge between you and the queen, and it has nothing to do with me."

She is not a member of the court and does not participate in their struggles.

"Don't you want to avenge yourself?" Jiang Lan said to her.

"What kind of grudge can the Queen and I have?" The worst thing is that Xuanyuan Jin has wronged the original owner, and she will take revenge on her own.

I won't go along with them.

Jiang Lan narrowed her eyes, "If the queen hadn't plotted against your mother, you wouldn't be where you are today. Don't you hate it?"

"What do you want to say?" What's the grudge against her mother?

"Back then, the Queen proposed your marriage to Xuanyuan Jin because your mother was the Princess of Dayan. The Queen's original idea was to establish a connection with Dayan through this marriage, in order to consolidate her son's position in the court. Prestige, how could you know that she had chosen the wrong treasure? In those years, Dayan did not send anyone here even once. Then your mother passed away, and Dayan did not see anyone. At that time, the queen had the idea of ​​​​breaking off the engagement, but this was the first time. She couldn't control the emperor's decree, so she secretly asked people to suppress you..."

"Finally, he also promised to let Hua Jin take the throne."

Hua Jianli looked at Jiang Lan, combined with Xuanyuan Jin's despicable thoughts, and revealed the secret, "So... Xuanyuan Jin is approaching you because of the military power of your Shangshu Mansion?"

Huatang has been the prime minister for many years and has many disciples. The prime minister's wife's natal family is an imperial merchant, and her wealth cannot be underestimated.

If you marry Hua Jin, it is equivalent to taking Huatang's disciples under your command, and also pocketing the wealth of the prime minister's house.

The only thing missing is military power.

And Jiang Shangshu is the person in charge of the Ministry of War.

Although Hua Jianli said it bluntly, Jiang Lan had to admit that what she said was indeed the truth. Xuanyuan Jin was a thoughtful person. He approached her because of physical needs on the one hand, or because of his separation from her family's influence. It doesn't matter, after all, she is the only girl in the Jiang family.Now that she is disliked by Xuanyuan Jin, the Jiang family has also lost power, and Xuanyuan Jin just kicked her out.

They were left orphaned and widowed. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad and unwilling.

Watching her caressing her belly, Hua Jianli couldn't understand why everyone thought she was because this woman was clearly not pregnant.

Is it a trick on her part, or an inconvenience?
"Can you help me get out of the palace?" Jiang Lan suddenly said.

"What?" Hua Jianli and Concubine Lian looked at each other.

"Are you crazy?" Concubine Lian was the first to say, "You are the emperor's concubine. Even if you die, you can only die in the palace."

Hua Jianli saw what she was thinking, "You want to see Xuanyuan Jin, right?"

The imperial concubine didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand to feel around her lower abdomen, with a solemn look on her face. From her expression, Hua Jianli already knew that Jiang Lan might not know whether she was really pregnant.

"I……"

"Although I have no way to get you out of the palace, if you want to see Xuanyuan Jin, I have a way." Hua Jianli said.

"Do you have a way to get him into the palace?" Jiang Lan's eyes lit up.

"Of course, Xuanyuan Jin and I have already had a showdown, and the engagement has been cancelled. The emperor will recruit him into the palace tomorrow. If you want to see him, you have to rely on your ability!"

"But what to do tonight?" Concubine Lian interjected, "The Queen sent people to take her life. If she can't see her body, she won't give up!"

"Is there any way?" Jiang Lan said, "There is an old woman's body inside. We can steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix..."

……

When Qin Changge and Hua Jianli left the palace, the emperor ordered Haiji to destroy the imperial edict.

He almost made a big mistake.

After Qin Changge's explanation, the emperor already knew that Jiang Shangshu was a courtier supported by the eldest princess and a person loyal to the royal family. He also used Qin Changge's words to remind him not to break his arms because of the instigation of a villain.

In fact, I was also confused by that woman Jiang Lan, and wanted to take this opportunity to cause some pain to the Shangshu Mansion.

He never thought that if Shangshu Mansion collapsed, it would bring him so many troubles.

So he chose to reduce big things to small things and make small things small.

"Oyster!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Tomorrow, recruit the fourth prince and the eldest lady of the Hua family into the palace!" Xuanyuan Linyuan breathed out, "Let him bring the divorce letter!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

-

The queen waited and waited, but did not wait for the news of Jiang Lan's death, nor did she wait for the news of the minister's demotion. She was so anxious that white hair appeared.

If the Minister of the Ministry of War fell, she would quickly arrange for her eldest brother to take over. Now, the Ministry of Industry was already in Jin'er's hands. If the bones of the Ministry of War were also captured by them, would the position of Crown Prince be far behind?
No, she has to tell her elder brother about the situation here.

We still need to send someone to Leng Palace to see what's going on with Jiang Lan?
