Get to Know Your Ex-Girlfriend

Xin Lan selectively controlled some people and turned them into her own puppets.

One reason is that the lost soul incense is not suitable for it, so Xin Lan should save some of it, and don't waste it on insignificant shrimps.

Another reason is that the smell of lost soul incense is too strong. If it is placed in a fun-seeking place like Qinlou and Chu Pavilion, it will not be very prominent, but if you suddenly smell this strong fragrance in other places, Anyone will be suspicious.

Fortunately, among the people that Xin Lan wants to control, there is no one who does not go to those places, so Xin Lan went to break them one by one.

In addition to the commander of the imperial army, she also controlled three people in important positions.

So they redeemed four prostitutes together, and three of them went to other places, and one voluntarily stayed by Xin Lan's side, that is the first redeemed woman, named Huan Qingqing.

Xin Lan was redeemed by someone and let her go, Qingqing also left, happily went to find the doctor she liked, and wandered around beside him.

But not long after, Ah Rou found her sitting at the door of the clinic and asked Xin Lan for instructions.

Xin Lan asked her why she came, she looked at Xin Lan, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.

"You are a great person, I want to follow you."

"Where's the lover you like?"

"He's getting married."

Qingqing's expression was calm, as if she didn't care, but if she didn't care, her eyes wouldn't be so dim.

"He doesn't think I'm dirty."

Qingqing said so.

"But he wanted one that was clean enough."

"If you want to stay, do it well, I don't accept idlers here."

"Yes."

Facts have proved that Qingqing may not be more business-minded than A Rou, but she must be better than A Rou.

Every time, he negotiated with the drug dealer, or got what Xin Lan wanted from other places.

As time passed day by day, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Unknowingly, the leaves in front of the court have fallen.

It was still hot summer when Xin Lan first came, and now the lotus flowers in the summer lake where she and Qu Zhian had been have all withered.

The autumn yin does not dissipate the frost and fly late, leaving the dry lotus to listen to the rain.

The pattering rain hit the eaves and dripped down the eaves.

Xin Lan stood in front of the hall, looking at the rain outside.

The rain suddenly became heavy, and the wind blew up Xin Lan's hair and clothes, and also blew in some cold rain.

It is not an exaggeration that the wind is like pulling up a mountain and the rain is like a river.

"The weather is turning cold, master, don't catch the wind and cold."

Chunyue stepped forward to put a sable fur on Xin Lan, and stood aside.

Xin Lan responded softly, only feeling that these days are really boring.

The political game is destined to be a process that cannot be rushed.

She came here for two or three months, except for the first month when there was a lot of noise, causing Man Fei to fall, controlling a few puppets, communicating with Zuo Xiang, and contacting Qu Zhi'an, she did nothing else.

Because the emperor was very busy in front of the harem, he couldn't be distracted to harm her again.

The imperial court was gradually under her control, Qu Zhi'an knew it, Prime Minister Zuo knew it, but the emperor was kept in the dark.

A month and a half ago, the grand selection of concubines began, and the last wave was selected to be placed in the Chuxiu Palace. After several days, the beauties were picked and picked, and finally it was confirmed which ones would stay and be sealed. For what grade, the imperial concubine Xi was busy looking at the newcomers, and the harem was bustling again, only the Biyue Palace was as deserted as ever.

Xin Lan doesn't care if she is cold or not, she is already a forgotten existence, which makes it easier for her to enter and leave the palace.

Xin Lan went to Qu Zhi'an's residence when the rain subsided.

Qu Zhi'an didn't live in that small courtyard for a long time, her mansion was repaired a month and a half ago, she moved here, and bought the small courtyard and rented it out to someone else.

"Why did you come here in the rain?"

Seeing that Xin Lan didn't even hold an umbrella, Qu Zhi'an walked over like this, with water droplets on her black hair, and water stains on her body and skirt, she frowned.

"I'll ask someone to cook a bowl of ginger soup for you."

Qu Zhi'an wiped the water on Xin Lan's face with a handkerchief, and seeing the slightly trembling eyelashes, her heart suddenly softened.

"I only came here now that the rain is slowing down. Otherwise, depending on the weather, it will rain for a long time."

It didn't take long for Xin Lan's words to fall, when there was a rumbling sound outside, the thunder seemed to shatter the sky, black clouds and dark clouds crowded the sky, and the entire capital city was shrouded in rain.

Xin Lan looked at Qu Zhi'an with a look on her face, "Let me tell you what you see".

"But what's the urgent matter?"

"Yanyan doesn't welcome me?"

"Then why, Lan'er, you have misunderstood me. As soon as you come, I am full of glory. I am too happy to be happy. How can I hate you?"

Qu Zhi'an found a set of clean clothes for Xin Lan, and put them in Xin Lan's hands.

Xin Lan didn't shirk, stood up and went behind the screen to change clothes.

Qu Zhi'an didn't go out either, looking at the beautiful figure behind the screen.

"Actually, there is nothing else. I just want to ask how your talk with my dad is going?"

Xin Lan put her wet clothes on the screen and changed into soft and clean ones.

She would come here from time to time, so there were two sets of women's equipment in Qu Zhi'an's wardrobe, but they were hidden at the bottom.

"The plan went well. The pawns left by Prime Minister Zuo are useless in name, but they are actually still useful."

"kindness."

"It's just that even if it's just pretending, the Xin family has been weakened a lot. In the future, if you really do what you want to do, do you want to help it up slowly?"

Qu Zhi'an was not surprised that Xin Lan had persuaded Prime Minister Zuo. She and Prime Minister Zuo seemed to be rivals in court, but in fact many things were planned.

"Look again, I don't have that plan in mind, I don't want to be the second Wu Yanqing."

Xin Lan recalled the conversation she had with Prime Minister Zuo two months ago. It was an afternoon when she sent someone to invite Prime Minister Zuo to have a talk at the restaurant. When Prime Minister Zuo came, she saw that it was her daughter in the cold palace. Like falling down.

Xin Lan was not polite to him, and did not pretend to have any father-daughter relationship. She poured a cup of tea for Prime Minister Zuo and started talking about business.

Zuo Xiang gradually cooled down from the excitement and surprise at the beginning. Following Xin Lan's words, his face slowly condensed, and he fell into thinking.

Xin Lan was not lobbying, but was laying out the facts in front of Prime Minister Zuo.

The Xin family is inevitably going downhill. No matter how much they maintain it, it will not help. After all, he is also a courtier. If the emperor wants to clean up, there is nothing he can do.

She and Xin Long were in the harem, one was abolished and the other was in vain, and the emperor was unwilling to pretend to be a snake. The original owner stayed with him for five years and was abolished, so it was even more impossible for the Xin family to rely on the harem to let the emperor let them go.

Xin Lan told Prime Minister Zuo that if he wanted to save the Xin family's life, he had to give up something first.

For example, the power that is firmly held in the hand, unwilling and unable to let go.

Qu Zhi'an is currently the emperor's favorite, a capable general, a minister with a strong arm, and the emperor regards her as a sharp sword.

What Xin Lan has to do is to make the sword look sharper, so that the emperor can let go of his guard, and finally stab himself in one fell swoop.

The prime minister on the left was hesitant at first, but Xin Lan put on a tough stance upon seeing this.

She bluntly said that Qu Zhi'an was hers, and if Prime Minister Zuo didn't want to cooperate, then she would have no choice but to ignore her own family and do what she wanted to do.

At first, Prime Minister Zuo worried that this was just a trap set by the emperor, so that the Xin family would take the initiative to cooperate in delegating power.

However, Xin Lan slowly talked about the sufferings of the original owner, one by one, no one hated Wu Yanqing more than her, and no one wanted Wu Yanqing to die more than she did.

Anyway, Zuo Xiang is also the father of the original owner, at least he watched his precious daughter grow up, and after hearing so much from Xin Lan, he was already very shaken.

But he still didn't agree, and Xin Lan didn't force him, so the conversation ended there.

Later, Xin Lan ordered his puppets to act according to Qu Zhi'an's wishes. Qu Zhi'an had become the leader of a new faction in the court, and he removed a fat post from the Xin family.

In the past two months, Prime Minister Zuo and Qu Zhi'an cooperated seamlessly, one pretended to be disintegrated, and the other pretended that he was really working hard, which made Wu Yanqing very happy. Because of this, he felt that Qu Zhi'an was a capable person, and he cared about her He didn't want to take advantage of the mood anymore, which saved Qu Zhi'an from some harassment.

Xin Lan was delighted to hear this. She was creating a beautiful dream for Wu Yanqing, just to make him happy, to make him as proud as possible, and to laugh as happily as possible. When he woke up from the dream, he knew how painful it was to fall.

From the very beginning, Xin Lan didn't intend to continue to support the Xin family, because what she wanted was her own power, not trying to control her power. Although the Xin family is her mother's family in name, what's the use of that? She would rather let Qu Zhi'an climb to the top of ten thousand people, and it is impossible for the Xin family to stay on a peak.

After Xin Lan changed her clothes and came out, her hair was hanging loosely on her shoulders. When she was sitting on the stool, Qu Zhi'an pushed a cup of hot tea in front of her.

"If you don't plan to let the Xin family come, then who do you plan to let?"

Qu Zhian already knew the answer when he asked this question, but he still wanted Xin Lan to say it and hear it with his own ears.

"Yanyan has actually learned to ask questions knowingly. Besides you, who else in the court can reassure me?"

"Such as Master Xiao, Master Li?"

Qu Zhi'an smiled and listed a few people, all of whom were puppets controlled by Xin Lan.

"But all of them together can't compare to you, Yanyan."

Xin Lan looked up at Qu Zhi'an with her chin propped up, and said very seriously.

Qu Zhi'an couldn't help curling up and releasing the hand placed by her side, trying her best to suppress the thumping sound of her chest.

When she met those eyes, she felt a little unconscious palpitation.

"Lan'er flattered me."

Qu Zhi'an smiled at Yan Yan, without showing the slightest expression of loss of composure.

"be honest."

With a little smile on her face, Xin Lan stood up, opened the window a little, and watched the pouring rain outside.

"It's raining so heavily, I don't know if it will stop tonight."

"It's okay if you can't stop, the big deal is to rest with me."

Xin Lan nodded, and continued to look at the bean-sized raindrops. The raindrops fell from the sky like broken beads, scattered on the ground, and merged with other drops of water.

In fact, Xin Lan really didn't need to go through this experience today, because it wasn't some urgent news and she had to know the progress.

Just looking at the heavy rain, he suddenly thought of the lotus, and then of Qu Zhi'an.

If you want to come, you will come.

There is no reason.
