When Zhan Qinghuan heard Mrs. Liu say this, she just took a bite of the poached egg, and then turned to look at Yi Qingli.

Yi Qingli pursed her lips and glanced at Zhan Qinghuan, then nodded with a smile.

Aunt Liu looked at the two girls from the side, and smiled cheerfully: "Very good, both of them are beautiful children."

Zhan Qinghuan didn't hold back a shy smile when she heard the compliment, glanced at Yi Qingli and then lowered her head to stir the noodles with chopsticks.

This side is thick noodles, covered with sauce, the eel silk is smooth and tender, but the entrance is refreshing.

Zhan Qinghuan usually doesn't eat much, but she ate up this bowl of noodles, which can be regarded as a substantial portion.

After eating, she couldn't help covering her mouth with the silk and hiccupped. Seeing the smile on Yi Qingli's face, she was almost ashamed to look at her.

When the two finally finished eating, Mrs. Liu just asked them to come again next time. Yi Qingli nodded and put down a silver coin, put on a veil for Zhan Qinghuan and left with her.

And after she left, the small shop opened its doors, ready to start the day's business.

Zhan Qinghuan and Yi Qingli walked on the street together.

When they came to that alley before, they passed a street. At that time, because they came too early, there were not many people on the street, but now it gradually became full of people. Zhan Qinghuan and Yi Qingli It seemed a bit out of place to be in a luxurious suit between them.

Yi Qingli bought some snacks for Zhan Qinghuan, and those snacks were things that Zhan Qinghuan would look at more when passing by unintentionally.

It was almost noon when they returned to the palace, and Zhan Qinghuan was still supported by the bowl of noodles in the morning. When Ah Yan came to ask Zhan Qinghuan if he would like to have lunch, Zhan Qinghuan refused .

But Yi Qingli said from the side: "Give me two bowls of porridge, you must have lunch."

Zhan Qinghuan went back to the dormitory and changed into comfortable and soft clothes, while Yi Qingli brought back a large pile of letters at the door and placed them in front of Zhan Qinghuan, as if he was not shy at all.

"What are these?"

Zhan Qinghuan looked at the letters on the table and asked Yi Qingli while holding her chin.

Yi Qingli opened one, and while reading it, replied Zhan Qinghuan's words: "These are some information from various places, and the informants I sent out will pass on information to me at any time."

Zhan Qinghuan said "oh", and then stopped talking.

The fire in the room was burning fiercely, the temperature inside was a bit high but very comfortable, not as cold and windy as outside.

Just as Zhan Qinghuan narrowed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep, Ah Yan came over with a tray and served Zhan Qinghuan and Yi Qingli two bowls of clear porridge, with some side dishes beside them.

Yi Qingli quickly read the letters and put them away, blew gently on the bowl of porridge in front of him, and handed it to Zhan Qinghuan: "Junior Sister, at least eat some, it's a way to nourish the stomach."

Zhan Qinghuan took a sip after taking it, and felt that the porridge was a bit sweet, just like drinking water. After drinking it, he put it down and touched his stomach, and said to Yi Qingli: "Sister, if we go again in the future, just two people Shall we share a bowl?"

Today's bowl was too much for Zhan Qinghuan, and the noodles still swelled his stomach. Although he digested a little after walking all morning, and now he also uses porridge to protect his stomach, but Zhan Qinghuan still doesn't feel so uncomfortable. Really can not forget.

It can only be said that Qingpan's food intake is really too small, Zhan Qinghuan thought that if it was placed in modern times, she could drink another cup of milk tea after eating such a large bowl of noodles.

Yi Qingli also finished the bowl of porridge, wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "Of course you can, if you don't dislike it, Junior Sister."

Zhan Qinghuan smiled, stood up and walked around a bit, and saw Ah Yan suddenly brought a letter over, saying that someone outside said it was for Zhan Qinghuan.

After opening the letter, Zhan Qinghuan took a look, his expression gradually changed from doubt to amused.

Ah Yan came in to clear the table, while Zhan Qinghuan sat in front of Yi Qingli and said with a smile, "Guess what the queen mother is going to do when she knows that the emperor wants to send her out of the palace?"

Yi Qingli asked: "It shouldn't be so easy to leave the palace, she is a person who values ​​power extremely."

Zhan Qinghuan nodded, Yi Qingli's analysis was indeed not wrong at all: "The Empress Dowager wrote a letter this morning to those courtiers who used to be his father's students, saying that they secretly collected bribes and bought and sold officials. Evidence, if you don’t want these things to be announced to the public, you have to help her do it.”

Yi Qingli frowned, as if thinking of something: "Success? Could it be that she wants to replace it."

Zhan Qinghuan read all the letter and handed it to Yi Qingli. After Yi Qingli scanned it casually from the top to the bottom, he said with a smile, "Actually, it's okay to do this. It's normal for her to want to monopolize power. After all, the emperor's thoughts are not on her now, and he doesn't even have the idea of ​​helping her quell the rumors, but instead asks her to leave the palace, which shows that he doesn't particularly value the word loyalty and filial piety."

The emperor has indeed changed a lot between now and before.

As long as you are in power, you will start to become addicted, start to miss the feeling of being alone, and don't want to let it go away.

So did the Queen Mother.

When she was a queen, she participated in the affairs of the harem and the affairs of the court, and the feeling of power was really wonderful.

It was only later that the emperor started to stand on his own, and the power of the Empress Dowager and Prince Gong was gradually divided up, and even all of them were eroded later. The process was so fast that it was impossible to react.

So she felt that the emperor was disobedient, and she felt that this son was useless at all, and her wish was not fulfilled at first.

Instead of letting the emperor continue to despise him, and even want to send him out of the palace, he should take the initiative and let his youngest son sit on the throne, while he can seize power as before, so he won't be as passive as he is now.

The Empress Dowager naturally has a trump card, but although she felt very painful when she used it, it was not as good as the flustered feeling that her power was passing.

She remembered that many years ago, in order to earn a good future for the emperor, she had carefully planned and killed all the way, and the children of the concubines in the harem could be killed and killed.

At that time, she was the master of the harem, and the emperor handed over the harem to her, and she was enough for the emperor to dote on her, so she was very beautiful for a while.

After the emperor died, she thought she could still be like before, but her son wanted to compete with her for power.

How unwilling is she?

So the queen mother still decided to launch a mutiny, hang the emperor to death in the imperial city, and let her youngest son ascend the throne smoothly.

As long as the entire imperial city is under control, and then the emperor is killed quietly, then the emperor died suddenly, isn't everything very simple?

The queen mother is obviously a little crazy at this time, but she has forgotten that today is different from the past, she is getting old, and her son is no longer the person who always listens to his mother's words like before.

Concubine Zhang Gui was also shocked when she got the news, wondering if the queen mother was crazy, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to know what her purpose was.

Because of dissatisfaction.

Concubine Zhang Guifei dared not tell the emperor directly about this, after all she couldn't let the emperor know that she actually had a lot of eyeliners in the harem, in front of the emperor she was just a weak and helpless concubine who was bullied by the empress and squeezed out by the empress dowager.

So she asked someone else to tell the emperor about it.

Zhang Guifei suddenly felt that her queen position might not be far away.

Once the queen mother fell, coupled with the queen's domineering temperament, she will be in charge of everything in the harem.

It's just that before that, everything still needs to be patient.

Grand Master Zhang and Zhan Qinghuan received the news almost at the same time. When he was wondering why the woman was so restless, he was also thinking about how to tell the emperor about such things.

There are still some soldiers in the old generals. When they attacked the Xiongnu, they were led by new generals. Because the old generals wanted to keep their old roots, they were afraid to send troops, but they borrowed soldiers from those young generals.

The young general came back victorious from attacking the Huns. Although there were casualties, this battle will be remembered in history no matter what.

Winning more with less is truly brilliant.

Those veterans had also received favors from the Empress Dowager's family before. Although the Empress Dowager lacked a Prince Gong in the court, and the rest of the forces had defected one after another, it would definitely not be difficult for the Empress Dowager to ask those people to remember their old feelings and do something for her.

Grand Master Zhang was really worried all day, and he took leave the next day and did not go to court. It was not until Zhan Qinghuan came that he finally relaxed a little.

Zhan Qinghuan wanted to talk to Grand Master Zhang about something a long time ago, but at that time the Queen Mother pushed her so hard that she had to hide for a while because of the weather, but she wanted to go later because of the weather.

When she received the letter yesterday, she originally wanted to go directly to Grand Master Zhang's Mansion, but she couldn't bear the exhaustion, and because she woke up too early, she was prone to sleepiness in the afternoon.

After making up her mind, Zhan Qinghuan finally went to Zhang Taishi's mansion, but she didn't want to discuss the Queen Mother with Zhang Taishi.

Although the tea from Zhang Taishi's house tastes very weak, it smells very fragrant. Zhan Qinghuan took off the cloak and handed it to the servant girl. After smelling the tea fragrance in the air, she said with a smile: "Uncle here really has a lot of good tea."

Zhang Taishi usually has no hobbies, and collecting tea is one of them.

He smiled and let Zhan Qinghuan sit down. Now his attitude towards Zhan Qinghuan is not the same as before.

From the mouth of Concubine Zhang, Grand Master Zhang understood how terrifying this Princess Qingpan was. There was a force behind her that was helping her achieve success, but it was so secretive that no trace could be found at all.

Grand Master Zhang sometimes wondered if he had said something that was too offensive before, but then he thought that he was Qingpan's uncle, so she probably wouldn't do anything to him.

"If Your Highness likes to take some back later." Taishi Zhang seemed generous at this time.

Zhan Qinghuan covered her mouth and smiled, and didn't think about talking too much about family matters with Grand Master Zhang, so she said directly: "Qingpan came here today because he wanted to say something to his uncle. These are some of Qingpan's inner thoughts. It’s okay, it’s okay if you don’t listen.”

"Just say it."

"Uncle once told me that my mother still has a child, and I want him to ascend the throne, but has my uncle thought of another way, perhaps not so bloody, people from the Zhang family can also ascend the throne."

When Zhan Qinghuan said this, he kept looking at Zhang Taishi's expression. Zhang Taishi frowned and stroked his beard, as if waiting for Zhan Qinghuan to continue talking.

"What if the imperial concubine gave birth to the emperor's first son?"
