Our East Factory needs talents like you

Chapter 171 Secrets of the Forbidden City
"But foster father, why didn't you do anything back then?"

"It's not because my father didn't do anything back then, but because the people who were sent there didn't succeed..."

Wynn didn't lie, even if Wynn and Wan Zhen'er had no enmity back then, even if Wynn knew that sending someone to kill Wan Zhen'er would offend Shenghua, who was newly enthroned.But Wynn still carried out the late emperor's last order without hesitation when Emperor Tianshun had just passed away.Because Wynn believed that with the wisdom of the first emperor, he would not kill anyone who was beneficial to him by mistake, let alone let anyone who threatened him.

Wynn believed that since the first emperor said that Wan Zhen'er might become the chief culprit of the chaos, he was obliged to remove this potential disaster for the first emperor as well as for the new emperor.However, Wynn encountered far more emergencies than he expected.

"Could it be that the assassination of Wan Zhen'er by foster father was leaked?"

"That's right. When the new emperor came to the throne, people's hearts were uncertain. There were not a few people who knew that the previous emperor had ordered the execution of Wan Zhen'er before his death. Therefore, these people planned to use this news to claim credit from Emperor Shenghua."

However, in terms of Dongchang's usual behavior, even if they knew about the leak of the operation, they would still not give up their mission.Instead, they will rush to act faster and get the matter done before the other party can react.

Therefore, as soon as Wynn learned that someone might leak the secret, he accelerated the plan to eradicate Wan Zhen'er.And the assassin who went to carry out the assassination mission was exactly one of the "Five Masters of the East Factory"...

"What?" Bao'er was taken aback, "You said that the person who went to carry out the assassination mission was my master?"

The person who went to carry it out back then was indeed the now-deceased former No. [-] master of Dongchang, and also Bao'er's enlightenment teacher——Zhang Min!
"But with Master's behavior, it's impossible to..."

Wynn shook his head helplessly, and said leisurely after a long sigh: "Because your master was soft-hearted at that time..."

"Softhearted? Dongchang killer?"

"Wan Zhen'er was pregnant at that time, and she was really pregnant, not a fake like later."

It is said that when Zhang Min went to assassinate Wan Zhen'er, five months had passed since the first emperor bestowed the secret decree on Huai En.And Wan Zhen'er was lucky enough to conceive the flesh and blood of Emperor Shenghua during the period when the first emperor was dying!When Zhang Min secretly stabbed Wan Zhen'er, what he saw was a pregnant woman with a slightly bulging belly!

Zhang Min didn't make a move, not only because Wan Zhen'er knelt down at her feet and begged, but also because Zhang Min was ruthless, but still had her own bottom line.Assassinating a pregnant woman is one of his bottom lines.Moreover, Wan Zhen'er once promised Zhang Min that she would never touch anything in the court in her life.

At the same time, Emperor Shenghua, who got the news, had no choice but to come forward. He would rather bear the infamy of disobedience to the former emperor, and protect Wan Zhen'er in the form of the emperor's order.Ever since, the matter was over.Emperor Shenghua also kept Zhang Min by his side for the purpose of gratitude and monitoring because Zhang Min did not make a move in the end.

"Master, have you ever regretted it?"

"Ever since Wan Zhen'er's child died, he has been regretting and blaming himself."

"Is it because Wan Zhen'er broke her promise?"

"No, it's because Wan Zhen'er was ruined in the harem, but Emperor Shenghua didn't stop it at all. So, your master regrets all the time, why did he mercifully believe in that temptress back then."

As for the reason why Wynn never assassinated Wan Zhen'er again later on, it was also very simple, because Emperor Shenghua did not allow Wynn to take action against Wan Zhen'er.After all, these rootless people are nothing but lackeys of the emperor. Since they are lackeys, they must have the awareness of lackeys.Naturally, lackeys dare not and cannot do things that are forbidden by their masters.

And the reason why Sili Supervisor and Dongchang headed by Wynn were able to live in peace with Wanshi Group 13 years ago in Shenghua is because there is Zhang Min between the two parties!
Wan Zhen'er is always grateful to Zhang Min.Because if it was someone else who assassinated Wan Zhen'er back then, Dameng's history probably would have left no trace of this woman.It is precisely because of Zhang Min's mistake back then that Wan Zhener's power has been created today.

Wan Zhen'er caused chaos in the harem, causing no prince to be born in the 6th year of the Shenghua emperor's rank.Zhang Min understood that he made a big mistake back then.That's why after he learned that Ji Shi was pregnant, he joined hands with Shang Ming and Wynn to send Ji Shi and her flesh and blood out of the palace.

They all understood that Wan Zhen'er would not be sensitive to Zhang Min for the rest of her life.Once this gratitude disappears, the interest groups represented by the two parties will fall into a fierce fight due to irreconcilable contradictions.

"Your master was using his own life to tell His Majesty and the Queen Mother that we are no longer able to protect the emperor's only prince alone. At the same time, your master is also atoning for his own sins, precisely because of his wife. Benevolence is why Wan Zhen'er killed so many concubines and His Majesty's unborn flesh and blood after gaining power."

Zhang Min's death not only reminded Emperor Shenghua and the Empress Dowager, but also the ministers who were not from the Wan faction that the time for war has come!Any party that loses will end up decapitated and beheaded all over the house.Therefore, not only did the two sides dare not give up lightly, they even had no chance to leave halfway.

This is the fundamental reason why the two sides have reached an endless situation.And the focus of the outcome of this war is the competition for the crown prince.

Obviously, Wynn and his Dongchang Chess are superior. Since Shenghua started the war in 13 years, they have been leading the Wanshi Group.However, the Wan Group is not sitting still. Since they have lost the chance to compete for the crown prince, it would be easier to replace Da Mengchao with a crown prince.

Ever since, there was the matter of Wan Zhen'er personally sending the maid beside her to the Shenghua Dragon Bed, and even succeeded in conceiving Concubine Ru with a dragon seed!But herein lies the strangeness!

"From the year before Concubine Ru conceived until the little prince's full moon, in the nearly two years, not a single emperor's heir was born in the palace!"

"Could it be Wan Zhen'er's trick?" Bao'er said to Wynn: "After all, this woman has a lot of criminal records before."

"If it's really Wan Zhen'er who used methods again, I wouldn't be so worried as a father. The strange thing is that Wan Zhen'er has never attacked the other concubines in the harem during the two years before and after. , but His Majesty still has no other heirs!"

"Is it because the emperor is not good at that?"

Wynn shook his head and denied, "the intercourse record has not been broken."

"That's why the emperor got infertility, but... Concubine Ru..." Thinking of this, Bao'er was stunned, and he asked Wynn in disbelief: "Father, do you mean... Maybe Wan Zhen'er is playing a trick of borrowing the chicken and laying the egg?"

Wynn nodded and said: "It's very possible, and my father suspects that Wan Zhen'er borrowed not only the hen Rupin, but also her rooster from outside!"

"Emperor Shenghua's head is already so green that he can put horses on the grassland? Impossible! How dare you even dare to be green today?"

Does Wan Zhen'er really dare?This is a serious crime of usurping the country that can be punished by ten clans!
