"What? You hooked up with the eldest princess's maid?!"
Wang Shangshu looked a little shocked.
Wang Shangshu knew that Wang Ze usually flirted with women, and Wang Ze's good skin also made him unfavorable in the circle of "ladies and ladies" in the imperial capital.
But the maid next to the eldest princess is a personal maid. Not to mention that she is a close confidant of the eldest princess, the maids in the palace alone are not accessible to ordinary people.
Wang Shangshu was not only a little shocked at this time, but also a little scared.
Seducing a palace maid is a serious crime!
Wang Ze saw the vigilance in Wang Shangshu's eyes and explained: "Don't worry, sir, I still have self-awareness and know who can move my mind and who can't."
Only then did Wang Shangshu's eyes soften.
"Do you have any impression of Tang Huaide, the legitimate son of King Huai?" Wang Ze continued.
Wang Shangshu thought for a moment, as if he had found this person in his mind, and then nodded indifferently.
Not to mention that he is just the prince's legitimate son, even Prince Huai has little power in the court now.
Speaking of which, Prince Huai was actually the eldest son of the previous emperor, who was much older than the current Emperor Yaozong.
But King Huai had a cowardly character, indulged in sensuality, and had no future.
It was precisely for this reason that he, the eldest son, lost his position as prince. Moreover, King Huai was so cowardly that even if he lost his position as crown prince, he never thought of regaining it.
And the legitimate son of King Huai that Wang Ze mentioned could be regarded as inheriting from King Huai. His body had been hollowed out by drinking and sex early on, and he was considered a real playboy.
When Wang Ze saw Wang Shangshu recalling who Tang Huaide was, he continued: "Xiaguan and Prince Tang Huaide have a lot of contacts on weekdays..."
"Hmph, it's not unusual for you two lechers to get together."
There was not too much blame in Wang Shangshu's words. After all, Wang Ze was just his subordinate, and he didn't have much to care about his private life.
Wang Ze smiled sarcastically, but there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He was famous among the officials for being romantic.
"The prince was used to playing with women outside, so he set his sights on the palace. One time when he went to the palace to meet the eldest princess, he fell in love with the princess's personal maid. Who knew that the two of them actually hooked up before long."
Wang Ze said with a smile, "When I met Jiu'er today, although she was just a maid, she could serve the eldest princess all year round, so her appearance and figure must be the best choice."
The most important thing is that this kind of woman who only dares to dream but cannot get is the most tempting to Wang Ze.
Thinking of this, Wang Ze said a little evilly: "After all, not all the women in this palace are like Her Royal Highness, who are willing to stay as pure as jade for the rest of their lives..."
"Be careful what you say!" Wang Shangshu suddenly scolded.
Wang Zeru woke up from his dream and realized that what he just said was extremely disrespectful to the eldest princess.
Wang Shangshu saw that Wang Ze was a little scared, so he continued: "This is a resource that can be used by Tang Huaide to hook up with the eldest princess's personal maid. But we have to be careful. If we use it well, it can help us hook up with the eldest princess. Use it If not, the eldest princess will punish you."
"Xiaguan naturally knows this, so today in the other courtyard, Xiaguan did not dare to let Jiuer praise me in front of the eldest princess. He only asked Jiuer to mention Xiaguan in front of the eldest princess after he saved Long Chaan. .”
After Wang Ze finished speaking, Wang Shangshu recalled it for a moment, and then he remembered that Jiu'er had indeed mentioned Wang Ze without any trace in front of the eldest princess in the dragon chariot.
There didn't seem to be anything suspicious at the time, but it turned out that Wang Ze had planned it in advance.
Wang Shangshu looked at Wang Ze with a little more admiration in his eyes. Such scheming made Wang Shangshu think highly of him.
"Well, yes, things were done well this time. In this way, Liu Xinyan will not be able to turn around. He will only wait for the next court meeting in Wangri. The officials of the eldest princess's party will refer to Liu Xinyan's book for no reason. Here we go. At that time, I only had to perform another "strong man's wrist breaking", and Liu Xinyan would only end up being dismissed. "
Wang Shangshu was in a happy mood and dealt with Liu
Xinyan is a small matter, but the position of Yuanwailang is vacant and left to the illegitimate son of Lord Shangshu Ling is a big deal.
When Wang Ze saw this, his expression was a little hesitant, as if he was weighing whether to tell Wang Shangshu something.
Finally, Wang Ze made up his mind to take a gamble.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I have been greatly favored by you since I came to the court. I will never forget your support and kindness. I will definitely serve you in the future..."
Before Wang Ze could finish expressing his loyalty, Wang Shangshu interrupted and said, "Get up and pat the horses properly."
Wang Ze stood up and smiled, just about to say what was in his heart.
Wang Shangshu shook his head and spoke first: "Wang Ze, the next task of smoothing the autumn hunting route is not easy to do. Although you gave Sun Shangshu a word of protection in front of His Highness about what happened today, that boy Sun Miao didn't do it either. Silly, I've probably come to my senses by now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get his full cooperation from now on..."
Wang Ze also expected such consequences, but he didn't panic.
"Xiaoguan understands that this requires you to take Xiaguan to make amends to Sun Shangshu."
As he spoke, Wang Ze made a gesture, indicating that he would definitely give a gift to the two adults.
Wang Shangshu likes Wang Ze's transparency very much, but today's matter may not be so easy to handle.
"Sun Miao has suffered a loss this time. Even if you give him a gift, you may not be able to calm his resentment." Wang Shangshu looked a little embarrassed.
Although Wang Shangshu said this, Wang Ze understood that Wang Shangshu was just in a dilemma, not unable to do it.
Wang Ze thought for a moment, then turned around and closed the door of the hall, then trotted back to Wang Shangshu and whispered: "My lord, I have something important to report to you."
"Mysterious, what's the matter, why do you have to close the door to tell me?"
Wang Ze's expression was solemn, as if this matter was so important that he had already made up his mind, but he still hesitated when he spoke.
"I heard from Crown Prince Tang Huaide that this autumn hunt is extraordinary and there are deep connections behind it."
When Wang Shangshu heard what Wang Ze said, he picked up the teacup casually.
"What did you think you were going to say? That's it? Akikari has never been so extraordinary. As long as it involves the royal family, the water behind it is very deep."
Wang Shangshu looked like he had seen through it all.
But Wang Ze didn't think so. Instead, he leaned closer and said in a low voice: "The Crown Prince said that Tang Huaian found something about Qiu Shou before he died."
Wang Ze pulled out the dead Tang Huaian, which attracted Wang Shangshu's attention. After all, the cause of his death has not yet been discovered. Is there any bigger secret involved?
Wang Ze saw that Wang Shangshu was interested, so he continued: "While Tang Huaian was doing his errands for autumn hunting, he discovered traces of the surviving family members..."
"What!?" Before Wang Ze could finish speaking, Wang Shangshu stood up in shock.
The notorious remnant actually showed up in the imperial capital, at the autumn hunt that the royal family was about to hold!
Wang Ze quickly turned around and looked around, fearing that Wang Shangshu's voice might attract others.
Wang Shangshu also realized that he had lost his composure, sat down again, and continued: "Are you saying that Tang Huaian was killed by the surviving family members?"
Wang Ze's eyes dodge slightly when he heard this, "I don't know..."
Although Wang Shangshu felt something strange when he saw this, he did not continue to ask questions.
"What else does Tang Huaide know?"
"The Crown Prince said that Tang Huaian also found some things... among which the eldest princess was involved..."
Wang Ze didn't dare to continue talking at this point.
Wang Shangshu's pupils shrank, and he felt that the matter was of great importance.
Some things are not the best, especially those planned by powerful people.
But this is for a small person like Wang Ze. Wang Shangshu thinks that he has certain strength to be able to spy on a corner of the overall situation, and even gain some benefits from it.
"Tell me what you know boldly, and I can promise you that these secrets will never leave this room."
Wang Shangshu said in a deep voice.
With Wang Shangshu's promise, Wang Ze boldly said: "I don't know what Xiaguan knew. This was also mentioned to me by the Crown Prince after drinking. He didn't quite understand what he said, but what he meant was Xiaguan. But I remembered it..."
"The eldest princess seems to want to take advantage of Qiu Shou's opportunity to change the world! The surviving family is the key move..."
Wang Shangshu lost his composure again, but this time he did not shout out, but was so shocked that he lost his voice.
Wang Shangshu said with a trembling voice: "Wang Ze, do you know what you said... What you said is enough to kill both of us."
Wang Ze trembled and knelt directly in front of Wang Shangshu.
"My lord, I have no intention of harming you!"
Wang Shangshu was a little distracted as he sat in his seat. He reached out to hold the tea cup and took a sip of tea to calm down, but he trembled and knocked the tea cup over.
Seeing that Wang Shangshu was still reluctant to speak, Wang Ze thought that there was no turning back. Since he had chosen to be tied to Wang Shangshu, he simply tied the two of them tighter.
"Sir, we don't have the ability to get involved in the situation behind this, but I think this is an opportunity. Regardless of whether the eldest princess changes the sky...successfully or not, I think we should all be at the scene of Qiu Shou, so that we can have a chance to participate. , take the initiative."
Wang Ze's words brought Wang Shangshu's soul back.
Wang Shangshu, who was calmer, began to seriously think about the pros and cons. What Wang Ze said made sense. No matter whether the eldest princess had any plans for the autumn hunting, he could not stay out of this situation.
At this time, since he got the news first, he was qualified to enter the game. And he can just wait and see what happens, and wait until the final situation is about to become clear before choosing a team. In this way, no matter which side wins, he can at least guarantee that he will not be liquidated for being on the wrong team.
Thinking of this, Wang Shangshu immediately made up his mind.
It doesn't matter to him who is the emperor in the court, but to become an official in the court, you must first figure out who is the master of the court. As for who sits on the dragon throne in the end, there is no difference in Wang Shangshu's opinion. As long as he is in the right team, he can keep his current position. status.
"Only you and I know about this matter! Leave it to me from Sun Shangshu, and I will personally come to explain to him what happened today. When the time comes, you should be more careful when entering the autumn hunting ground." Wang Shangshu told Wang Ze .
Wang Ze nodded, "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to find out any clues before the autumn hunting..."
Before Wang Ze could finish speaking, Wang Shangshu slapped Wang Ze on the head.
"Who said you were asked to investigate? Have you forgotten how Tang Huaian died? How many heads do you have that others can chop off?"
When Wang Ze heard this, he immediately shuddered.
"I want you to be careful. Don't pry when you shouldn't. Even if you see or hear something, pretend you don't know anything."
Wang Ze nodded.
"As long as you can do this job well, I can find a way to ask for credit from the eldest princess and reward us with going on the autumn hunt. Only then will we be able to change our destiny."
