Chapter 519 Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Confront Each Other
Zian smiled, not in a hurry to argue with her, and looked at the environment in the secret room, it was empty, just now she was lying on the ground, there were no tables and chairs, nothing, the air smelled of damp, it belonged to the secret room in the mountains, but There should be a water source nearby.
Everything outside the secret room can't be seen clearly, it's dark, but people can be vaguely seen floating around, and it's not clear how many people there are.
I don't know if the knife boss is being held nearby, or has he been killed?
"Don't look, you won't be able to escape if you come here!" The Concubine Gui said coldly.
Zian looked at her, "Grand Concubine caught me, but didn't kill me, what do you want to do?"
"Don't pretend to be calm, the Ai family knows that you are afraid," the imperial concubine stared at her, "Have you ever thought that one day, you will fall into the hands of the Ai family?"
"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs." Zian stretched out her hand subconsciously, but found that the scar was not on her arm, and her heart sank.
"Really? It's good that you're so optimistic." The Grand Concubine smiled slowly, the wrinkles around her eyes piled up, and under such bright light, she looked old instead.
With her hands crossed in her wide sleeves, she walked over with a quiet expression, "Don't worry, Aijia won't kill you for the time being, but you have to cooperate a little bit."
"I don't know what the Concubine Gui wants me to cooperate with?" Zian also returned with a calm expression.
The noble concubine raised her hand, "Come on!"
Seeing the man in black come in carrying chairs and tables, and the four treasures of the study, spread out in front of Zian, the noble concubine said: "Use your handwriting, write a letter to Murong Jie."
"What's in the letter?"
"You were detained by the emperor in an attempt to charge him with treason."
Zi'an sneered, "Could it be that the noble concubine thinks that if I write like this, the prince will ignore the enemies of Beimo and return to the capital with soldiers and horses?"
"Perhaps it will? The Ai family must always be prepared!" The Concubine Gui did not smile, and even the anger in her eyes disappeared, this time she really looked very calm.
"Even if the prince will, but, will he believe it? I am missing, and the night king will naturally write to him. Who will I fall into the hands of, the night king will not know? Moreover, if I am really imprisoned by the emperor, how can I write a letter?"
"Whether the King of the Night writes to him or the emperor orders, after all, it is not your own handwritten letter. As for why you are still able to write a letter while being imprisoned by the emperor, it is easy to explain. The little servant boss around you risked his life to send the letter out. , died near the barracks, and the soldiers in the barracks found his body, and presented the letter he was carrying to Murong Jie."
Hearing this, Zi'an felt relieved, Dao Boss was not dead yet.
However, this strategy is really good. She threatened her own safety and asked the knife boss to deliver the letter, and sent killers to follow along the way. Before the knife boss arrived at the barracks, he shot and killed him. It will soon be discovered that civilians appearing near the barracks must report to the Marshal. His death also adds credibility to the letter he brought.
However, Zian didn't understand, "Take ten thousand steps back, even if the prince leads his troops back to the capital, as long as he arrives in the capital, everything will be revealed."
"As a marshal, he left his post without permission and fled with his troops. The emperor would be indifferent when the news passed to the emperor's ears? He would label Murong Jie as a traitor and ask Marquis Wu'an to lead his troops to encircle and suppress him. Chaos broke out in the middle of the country. .”
Zian sneered, "You mother is really kind to your son."
"Aijia treats him well, but he doesn't appreciate it." Gui Taifei pointed to the four treasures of the study, "Think about it, now, you can only survive if you cooperate with Aijia, otherwise, you will starve to death here. , Aijia has always thought that you are a smart person, but what you do is not smart, if Aijia becomes the empress dowager, you are also a queen, why not do it?"
Zi'an really didn't understand, "You are the empress dowager, and I am the empress. The premise must be that Lao Qi is the emperor, but you have already labeled Lao Qi as a traitor, how can he be an emperor?"
"Since he is a traitor, there is no way out. Only the victor can tamper with history. Only when he ascends the throne as emperor can he justify his name."
Zi'an chuckled, "I really thank you for your kindness on behalf of Lao Qi. Thank you for your respect. Lao Qi, a traitor, rebelled against what he said. He really died when the 800,000 army of the Great Zhou Dynasty died?"
"With an army of 800,000, Murong Jie can hold 200,000 and 600,000 to defend against foreign enemies. The emperor doesn't have many people to use, and half of the officials in the court have already taken orders from Ah Jie, the regent. Aijia's calculation is not wrong. He is the most suitable candidate after going around. In fact, you have no choice, because you know that he has been hit by the same fate Gu. If you don't follow Aijia's wishes, Aijia will kill him. In fact, you are so smart, you should also know that Lao Ba is poisoned now, if there is no antidote for Aijia, he will definitely die. If you want to live by yourself and Lao Qi, you must You have to obey Aijia."
Zi'an sighed again, the imperial concubine should have been born a man, and if she was born a man, she would be a hero of the generation.
"Didn't you take the Seventh Prince away?" Zi'an asked.
"Take him away just in case of emergencies. As for the Seventh Prince, there is no hope. This time the Ai family has lost troops, and the old eighth and the Ai family have also turned against each other. He will no longer trust the Ai family. It is better to count on someone who has been counting on him forever." At the very least, he has this ability, looking at Da Zhou, he is the most suitable candidate."
The Concubine Gui spoke her heart so frankly that she even took Zi'an as a confidant, which meant that she would kill Zi'an after the matter was completed.
In other words, she will kill Zian regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.
The way she speaks now is like speaking to a dead person.
Zian sat down, slowly grinding the graphite, thinking of countermeasures in his heart.
"Is it that important to be the Empress Dowager?" Zi'an asked.
The noble concubine raised her head and said firmly: "Maybe it is not important to be the empress dowager, but the Ai family is tired of being a noble concubine, and being a noble concubine always has to be inferior to others, why can't the Ai family stand in the highest position? Even if it's just one day in a lifetime, Aijia is satisfied, how can Fengxiang be better than Aijia? In terms of appearance, she is not as good as Aijia, and in terms of talent, she is even worse than Aijia. In terms of means, she is far behind. She is also the daughter of the Sun family, why is she the queen, and I can only be promoted to a noble concubine after giving birth to Ah Jie? The first emperor didn't even give me the title of imperial concubine, but the same is true for imperial concubine and noble concubine. Feng Xiang's face, she died too easily, if she was alive, it would be fine, Aijia hoped that she could watch Aijia ascend to the highest position and order the world, but it was a pity that Aijia's vision was not far enough at that time. Paying attention to Lao Ba, in order to keep Lao Ba in Beijing, he had no choice but to attack her. Now that I think about it, Aijia really made too many mistakes. Maybe from the beginning, I shouldn't have paid attention to Lao Ba, but kept Instill the idea of an emperor in Lao Qi."
Fengxiang is the empress dowager's boudoir name in the Sun family.
