There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 296 Conspiracy
"Don't worry, I won't make trouble for you!" Tang Wanning murmured while holding the note, and she lit the note on the bamboo flame a moment later.

Seeing the note gradually burn to ashes, she smiled faintly, remembering every word on it in her heart, and carved it into her bones.

She supported her swollen belly with both hands, her eyes were gentle and loving.

"Son, I hope your father can come back before you are born, even if he can't, it doesn't matter, as long as he is safe in the end, look at this jade pendant..."

"Your father has already said that no matter whether you are male or female, he will regard you as a treasure, child, you must be safe and sound, and your father is also..."

The days passed quickly, and the first month came out in a blink of an eye.

From winter to spring, the weather gradually warms up, unlike the biting cold wind in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

With the warmth of the spring breeze, the flowers and plants in the imperial garden also moved, not as dry and wilting as before.

The weather was fine that day, the grass was growing and the warblers were flying and the spring was shining. Tang Wanning took Biyue and Biluo out.

She walked around the imperial garden, and by chance, she ran into a familiar yet unfamiliar person, Dong Xianglan.

"My maidservant sees the empress." She knelt on the ground humbly as always, exactly the same as when she first met her.

Tang Wanning looked at Dong Xianglan, who was wearing a sapphire blue official uniform, and thought that she was harmless on the outside but full of conspiracy inside, so she was dazed for a moment.

It was Biyue who coughed twice to remind her that she came back to her senses and let Dong Xianglan fall flat.

Dong Xianglan respectfully said Xie and stood aside, not intending to leave, and Tang Wanning just looked at her with a smile.

"Miss Dong is very elegant, are you coming to visit the garden today?"

"Reporting to Empress Empress, the servant girl has already finished the cleaning task. I came here to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't mean to offend Empress. Please forgive me!"

Tang Waning smiled lowly: "What's the matter, this imperial garden is for people to visit, not to mention you are an old acquaintance of the emperor, the emperor treats you with courtesy, why should you be humble."

Dong Xianglan bowed her head in embarrassment, pretending to be afraid and trembling, but no one saw the flash of light in her eyes.

After standing in embarrassment for a while, Tang Wanning lost all interest and smiled lightly while holding her belly.

"Hi! Look at me. I said I was going to cook bird's nest porridge for the emperor. Why did I forget it? My memory is getting worse and worse. Come on, let's go back to the palace. The emperor still wants to eat at noon."

After speaking, he took Tang Wanning and left in a mighty manner.

Dong Xianglan stood behind her and maintained a saluting posture. She didn't stand up slowly until Tang Wanning could no longer see her after turning the corner.

The sun shone brightly from the top of her head, leaving tiny spots on her face, making her expression more distorted and hideous.

Dong Xianglan casually pinched a willow tree that had just sprouted its buds.

"The emperor should have loved me. Even if I can't be a queen, being a concubine is more than enough. The emperor and I are our closest childhood sweethearts."

Hehe, it's all this woman who has taken over the emperor's favor, and now that he has returned, but the emperor still doesn't take himself seriously, it's all this woman, it's all her.

Dong Xianglan's expression was contorted and painful, tangled and struggling.

She has the emperor in her heart, if the emperor also puts herself in the heart, she will definitely expose the Meng family early on, and help the emperor to catch them all, and finally sit in the position of favorite concubine or empress, and be happy Ronghua's life.

It's a pity that the emperor doesn't have himself in his heart. Instead, he always pretends to be someone else, and doesn't even look at himself. If this is the case, then she would rather help the Meng family.

There is a good saying, as long as you can't get it, you must destroy it with your own hands.

Thinking about it, she took a deep breath, raised her head and squinted her eyes to look directly at the sun, her eyes were full of disdain.

"The first half of my life can't allow me to say a word, but the second half of my life is up to me," muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the cold palace.

There is a future waiting for her.

……

When Tang Waning returned to the Jinhua Palace, the 'Emperor' had already returned from the imperial court. After that, one of them was reviewing papers in the imperial study, and the other was lying down and resting in his bedroom.

Not long after, Biyue came to report: "Master, Dong Xianglan really went to the Leng Palace, you are really clever."

Tang Wanning smiled sarcastically: "What kind of clever plan is this? They have colluded for so long, and they send news every ten days. If I still can't figure out the rules, I don't deserve to live in this deep palace."

Even if Xia Houjue really arranged for her the best maids and guards, she still had to be on guard, just in case.

"I just don't know what's going on with Xia Houjue. He's been gone for so long, why didn't he even tell her the progress?"

After thinking about it, he smiled wryly: "This is not an upgrade from fighting monsters. There is no progress to speak of. It takes a little bit of investigation, and you can hit them one by one, and you will never have any future troubles."

"What about the palace? Master, what about the palace?" Bi Yue asked curiously.

Tang Wanning sneered: "What's wrong in the palace? Dong Xianglan in the palace is under my nose, what kind of trouble can she make?"

It's just passing news to each other, maybe their news has been passed through many hands, isn't it?

……

Time passed day by day like this, and the life in the palace was very peaceful, not even a single wave broke up.

Tang Wanning is content with protecting her pregnancy every day, and the "emperor" works hard to criticize papers at court. I have to say that Xia Houjing is really good.

Ninety-nine percent of Xia Houjue's characters he had copied, not to mention ministers, even Tang Wanning couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.

In fact, Xia Houjing was only approving some daily affairs notes, and major decisions were sent to the south of the Yangtze River eight hundred miles away, so the ministers really didn't realize that this man in the palace was not the emperor.

Although the voice didn't sound quite like it, the imperial doctor said that it was caused by a cold in Chunri, and no one doubted it.

Dong Xianglan was still restless, going to the Leng Palace every now and then to stimulate Concubine Xian, and released all the hatred buried in Concubine Xian's heart for many years.

Now Concubine Xian is preoccupied with revenge, thinking of killing the emperor and then raising a child to be the crown prince, and supporting her as the queen mother.

The Meng family said that they will definitely be famous in the future, and she is the best name.

When the emperor and empress die, she will be the only concubine with children in the Great Xia Dynasty. Isn't it a certainty that she will become the throne?
But... where did this kid come from?

After discussion between Dong Xianglan and Concubine Xian, there are two ways:

First: wait for the queen to give birth safely, and then make a way to leave the mother and keep the child.

Second: directly kill the queen mother and son, and then adopt a child from the Meng clan to support the young master to succeed to the throne.

As long as she can control the palace and the queen, is it possible that this day will not exist?

　Be lazy for 3 days, you won't want me, will you?
