"Your Highness, Cao Ning has gone to the Song family. Song Zan said he would find a way." Li Xing'en reported, still doubtful: "Your Highness, do you think...Song Zan will really contact the prince?"
"Yes, he will definitely do it." Zheng Ji said calmly, with a very firm tone.
She and Song Zan have been together for two lifetimes. Putting aside the hatred and suffering, she is actually the person who understands Song Zan best.
Perhaps, knowing better than himself.
If not, she would not have been able to defeat Song Zan in her previous life and throw him into prison.
"Do you think Song Zan will really make plans for Cao Ning?" Zheng Ji smiled, his eyes slightly cold.
Song Zan doesn't know how. In his eyes, Cao Ning is just a chess piece.
Since it is a chess piece, it must play its maximum role and make the greatest contribution to the chess game. Even if it means becoming an abandoned chess piece, it must not hesitate. This is the meaning of chess pieces.
"Your Highness, are you saying that Song Zan will give up on Cao Ning? Then...then all the hard work he has put in with Cao Ning for so many years will be in vain?" Li Xing'en was still puzzled.
He had been with the imperial concubine and knew what capital and income were. It was obvious that Song Zan's move was not cost-effective!
"How could it be in vain? If he does this, it means that giving up Cao Ning will only bring greater benefits to him."
She was very aware of Song Zan's actions. No matter whether she was taking or giving up, she would get the maximum benefit.
In his previous life, he had done many such things.
Although Song Zan's performance in this life is very different from that in the previous life, judging from Cao Ning's incident, his way of doing things has not changed much.
This person likes to play with others and get the maximum benefit.
If he can give up Cao Ning once, he can naturally give up Cao Ning a second time.
Although she has no evidence yet, she suspects that the relationship between Cao Ning and the Song family was exposed because Song Zan might have contributed to it, in order to pave the way for Fan Li.
However, even if his father mobilized the court to investigate, no relationship between Fan Li and Song Zan was found.
Even if Fan Li has nothing to do with Song Zan, it will not affect her arrangements.
This time, she wanted to borrow Song Zan's hand to let Queen Xue take the initiative to pick up Cao Ning's hidden chess piece!
~~~
In Kunning Palace, Queen Xue half-closed her eyes. After a while, she said calmly: "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"
"Mother, I think this can be done. If it comes true, a hidden chess piece has been planted around Chang Ding. If it doesn't come true, there will be no loss." Zheng Zheng replied.
Queen Xue nodded and said, "That's true. It's just...Prince, do you know that Cao Ning?"
"Mother, this is where I hesitate."
Zheng Zheng knew very well that Song Zan must be hiding something.
Was it really just a steward of the Anlehou Mansion who did such evil things to the Cao family back then? The Anlehou Mansion was just deceived, harboring criminals without knowing it?
He may not think so.
But no matter what, this is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to bury a secret move around Chang Ding.
He lowered his voice and said: "Mother, since Han Wei disappeared, we don't have anyone by our side in Changding. We still need to make new arrangements."
Ever since Chang Ding left the palace and opened his mansion, he has always had obstacles in doing things, and recently he felt even more at a disadvantage, which made him wary.
It is one thing that there are experts around Chang Ding, but they know nothing about Chang Ding's ins and outs. This is the main reason.
Just because Chang Ding didn't have any of their people around him, he didn't even know who the master beside Chang Ding was!
Now that there was such an opportunity before him, he couldn't miss it, and he didn't want to miss it.
"This should be the case," Queen Xue replied, "but I am worried, is this an opportunity? Or is it a bait? We still need to consider it carefully."
Queen Xue is not as anxious as the prince, nor is she as optimistic as the prince.
More importantly, she didn't know Cao Ning well.
To use a person, you must not only be familiar with his personality and behavior style, but also have the ability to completely control him.
Otherwise, in the end, it will just be a wedding dress for others.
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true, and I think so too, so I have sent people to the Guan Nei Road to investigate."
Empress Xue nodded with satisfaction and said, "The prince has done a good job, so let's wait until after the investigation. I would like to know, what does the prince of Anlebo Mansion want after doing this?"
"Mother, Song Zan wants to keep his position as the eldest son of the Anlebo Mansion. Here in the East Palace, he wants to replace Song Qiyan." Zheng Zheng replied, his eyes a little playful.
He did not expect that Song Zan, who he thought was useless, would still have such ambitions.
He doesn't mind giving a helping hand to an ambitious and useful person.
Especially, this person also has a grudge against Chang Ding, which is even more interesting. ap.
The imperial examinations in the country emphasized the importance of writing, words and deeds. For a person like Song Zan who lost an arm, it was impossible to become an official through the imperial examinations, but it did not mean that there were no other options.
In Zheng Zheng's position, he really knows that official position is just a tool, and the power given to this tool is the most important.
What Song Zan seeks is not official position, but power.
Zheng Zheng can share some power, but it depends on Song Zan's ability.
After hearing this, Queen Xue remembered some things in the past and frowned: "I feel that Crown Prince Song is not very smart. He is far worse than Song Qiyan, how can he replace him?"
Just look at the marriage between Song Zan and Chang Ding, and you can know something about it.
If he could win Chang Ding's heart and tie Chang Ding and Anlehou Mansion together, how could these things happen later?
In this way, the Anlehou Mansion will still be the Anlehou Mansion, he himself will not lose his arm, and she will no longer have to think hard about placing people around Chang Ding.
Thinking of this, Queen Xue felt a pang of regret in her heart.
She has clearly paved the best road for the Anlehou Mansion. Under such circumstances, it is incredible that the Song family can still make detours.
"Mother, as a young man, who has never been stupid?" Zheng Zheng smiled and disagreed: "Mother, I think it is not good for a person to be too smart."
If Song Zan was smart, how could he reveal the news about Cao Ning?
You must know that loyal and capable people are the most rare in the dynasty. People like Cao Ning... who can gain a foothold in the military will be of immeasurable help to the Anlebo Mansion.
However, he also understands Song Zan's concerns. If Cao Ning is a person who values love and justice, once he learns the truth, he will definitely not be used by him anymore. This is a hidden worry.
Song Zan had no way to solve this hidden worry and could only let Cao Ning out.
It just so happened that he was interested in taking over.
On the Guan Neidao side, he has given orders to urge them. The matter must be decided before Chang Ding participates in the martial arts competition again, otherwise, the opportunity will be missed.
At this time, Du Fengju stopped Zheng Ji at the martial arts arena of Princess Changding Mansion and asked, "Your Highness, what are you going to do to Cao Ning..."
"The third update! There will still be a fourth update on the weekend! About Han Wei, guide the way to Chapter 5."
