The old prince has not yet entered the capital. Chen Guogong does not know all the contacts between the empress and him, but he can guess the approximate time.
With such tight defenses, it is obviously impossible to sneak into the inner city.
Unless a powerful person intervenes and takes away the old prince.
The only person who can be used is Chang Ming.
Zhao An pondered for a moment, then went straight back to the harem to meet Chen Yuru.
"The old prince is about to return to Beijing, are you sure?"
Chen Yuru's face was cold and she showed no trace of murderous intent.
She entered the palace to fish for the emperor on the one hand, and the other purpose was to monitor the imperial power for her father.
"I heard with my own ears from His Majesty's mouth that the four gates are now blocked by the captain, and not a single fly can fly in."
"Wouldn't it be better this way?"
"My Majesty, I don't know something. If someone doesn't enter the city, how can I arrest him?"
Zhao An pointed out the key point seriously.
Chen Yuru thought thoughtfully and acquiesced to this statement.
Zhao An struck while the iron was hot: "I have a plan. I might as well lure the old prince into the capital and then capture him. Or I can use this opportunity to express my loyalty to His Majesty."
"what for?"
It was about the safety of the Chen family, Chen Yuru was extremely alert, and suspicion appeared in her eyes.
Zhao An avoided eye contact and said sincerely: "Is it possible that your Majesty is afraid of the Chen family because your Majesty has never been pregnant?"
The conflict between Imperial Quan and Chen Guogong is no longer a secret. Now that Zhao An said it to his face, Chen Yuru immediately became unhappy and said angrily: "Slave, you are so brave! When will it be your turn to talk about military and national affairs!"
Woman, haha...
"My servant's loyalty to the queen can be learned from time to time, and he is also thinking about the future of the queen. To be disrespectful, has the queen ever thought about it, if there is no dragon heir by his side, in the future..."
Zhao An was talking to himself, but he stopped talking.
Chen Yuru's delicate body trembled when she heard this, and strong murderous intent appeared in her clear eyes, followed by entanglement and irritability.
Yes, if she has a dragon heir, she will be extremely valuable when the imperial power changes in the future and the Chen family ascends to the throne. But if she does not have a dragon heir and her brother ascends to the throne, what will she be?
Queen Mother?
Oh, absolutely impossible!
Is she willing to waste her time and gain nothing?
The main hall fell into dead silence, and the lotus leaf on the side lowered its head, full of fear.
She never expected that Zhao An would say such treacherous words.
After a full stick of incense, Chen Yuru's expression changed again and again. Finally, she glanced back with extremely complicated emotions, "Slave, what you said makes sense. I have to consider the future. Without the dragon heir, one day There is no one to rely on, and..."
She didn't say it clearly, because there was no solution to the mother-child curse. Even letting the old prince see the emperor would not change the overall situation. The trouble was, was her father willing to help her rise to the top?
If not, how should she deal with herself?
She was confused. A small thing could determine her position in her father's heart. She didn't dare to argue.
"You are the mother of the country, and you are beyond words. I think the Duke of the country should be willing to help you. I think all my heart is for my queen."
Zhao An kowtowed seriously, with such a sincere expression that Chen Yuru couldn't help but feel moved.
She was silent for another moment, then clenched her pink fists and murmured: "What should I do? Can you give me an idea?"
"Brother Chang Ming is loyal to the empress, so we might as well leave it to him. I think he won't betray the empress."
Zhao An whispered his opinion.
If it were before, I didn’t know that Chang Ming was a licking dog, and I really didn’t dare to use it. Now that I have had more contact with Chang Ming, I am almost certain that as long as this woman says a word, even if Chang Ming is asked to die, the other party will not frown. A frown.
"What should I do if my father accuses me?"
"Then the empress can tell Chen Guogong clearly that if he doesn't blame the old man, it means that the empress is in her heart and will definitely support the prince in the future. If..."
"do not talk!"
Chen Yuru's eyes widened, her pretty face full of shock, anger and fear.
The dog slave actually allowed her to take the opportunity to test her father. If it wasn't useful, I really wanted to drag this slave out and kill him with a cane right now!
Zhao An raised his head and said with a "grieved" look on his face: "My feelings for the Queen can be learned from the sun and the moon, and it will not change even if I am attacked with swords and axes."
Their eyes met, Chen Yuru took a deep breath and tried her best to say calmly: "I know your intentions, so I will do as you say. I believe that my father will consider me."
She is determined not to die until she reaches the Yellow River!
Zhao Anxin was in full bloom, but he did not expect that this time there would be an opportunity to divide her and Chen Guogong.
Taking history as a guide, men are respected in patriarchal society. If there is a chance to achieve imperial status in the future, how could Chen Guogong hand over the power to her and the emperor's son!
She, Chen Yuru, is just a stepping stone for the Chen family to lead to imperial power!
Even though the outcome was already doomed, Zhao An still accepted the order and resigned seriously, leaving Chen Yuru in a daze in the huge room.
Half afternoon.
Zhao An and Chang Ming met at a small tea shop near Nancheng.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to protect the old prince?"
Chang Ming clutched the tea cup tightly, seemingly calm, but there was indescribable pain in his eyes.
Help the beloved woman show her loyalty to the emperor, just to give birth to a dragon species sooner...
"I promise."
Chang Ming nodded bitterly.
Zhao An almost clapped his hands and applauded on the spot.
It is indeed a licking dog, in one word, absolutely!
Chang Ming drank seven or eight cups of tea in one breath, drinking it all over his head and face, and his eyes became extremely sinister.
Zhao An frowned and advised: "Brother Chang Ming, don't be upset. Your Majesty said that once the matter is settled, I will never treat you badly. And after the matter is settled, you can tell the truth to Chen Guogong, and your Majesty is willing to accept the punishment for you."
"really?"
Chang Ming was startled and actually showed joy.
"Of course it's true."
Give it some sunshine and it will shine, maybe this is the kind of love.
Next, Zhao An revealed the emperor's secret report. The old prince would enter the capital from the west gate. When the time came, Chang Ming came to stare at the west gate. When the old prince appeared, he used some tricks to let that group of people in, and the mission was completed.
Chang Ming put down the water glass heavily and said in a cold voice: "Go back and tell the lady that I will not let her down."
The night gradually fell.
Zhao An did not return to the imperial city immediately. After all, Chen Guogong was not a vegetarian. If something went wrong, he had to make preparations in advance.
Private room on the second floor of Cuilan Garden.
Zhao An used money to smash Qian Yuwei out of Xiu Sanniang's hands, which cost him two hundred taels.
She was dressed in youthful beauty, and I felt pity for her clear and beady eyes. Her graceful figure was even more beautiful than expected.
"My surname is Zhao, and I take the liberty of harassing the girl."
Zhao An crossed his fists solemnly, and Qian Yuwei laughed at herself, "With such a thin body, how can a little girl dare to trouble the young master?"
She is angry.
She thought that the person who wrote those quatrains must be a kind person, but in the end, she still used money to force her to come to see him.
Much to her disappointment.
Zhao An scratched his head in embarrassment and poured a cup of fragrant tea in front of her, but she ignored it with a downcast face.
No way!
I can only show off again.
