"Master, I'll interrupt you and say something else." Shen Cha yawned and said, "Wasn't the Empress Dowager too young when this happened?"

"That's for sure. I'm in my twenties, should I?" Yan Bo looked at Qin Zheng, "After all, we're not very old, are we? I still have the name of a playboy and haven't left home yet. Go to the border to play!"

"You haven't met Master yet, have you?" Shen Haolin looked at Qin Zheng, "It happened when you were young, right?"

"Yes." Qin Zheng and Yan Bo nodded at the same time, "When I was young, I didn't go through experience, and I was still in a hurry. I don't know what restraint is."

"Hmm..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "How old is the empress dowager's niece? It should be about the same as your master, isn't it?"

"Yes." Yan Bo glanced at Shen Cha, "I know what you want to ask, she is indeed a niece, and belongs to her first cousin. However, her first cousin's family is not in Xijing, so he sent his daughter here specially for the purpose of getting married. thing."

"Send it specially for the sake of getting married?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Don't they know that the Empress Dowager has ulterior motives?"

"I should know, but I only found out after I came here, but what can I do if I have already entered the tiger's den?" Yan Bo chuckled, "Whether she wants to go back or stay You have to rely on this aunt who is a noble concubine in the palace, right? So, I can only listen to my aunt and do whatever I ask, without the right to be independent." He looked at Shen Cha, "I know what you are worried about, At that time, we thought the same as you, but we didn't think about the problem with Qinglian Sect, but another point."

"Another point, what is it?"

"At that time, we were worried that the old hag had been replaced by someone else. The person who was going to marry into the palace as a concubine was no longer there. This was the person who replaced her. However, after our investigation, it was indeed me."

"Before becoming the crown prince's side concubine, she and her family should be regarded as unknown people in Xijing, right?" Seeing Yan Bo nodding, Shen Cha thought for a while, "In other words, it should be the same as those noble families in Xijing. Madam, Madam, etc., there is no special relationship, right?"

"should be."

"Then, here comes the question, how many wives who are related to her and are left behind in this performance?"

"Let me think about it." Yan Bo recalled, "A dozen or so people, three or four wives, with their children."

"Three or four wives, that is, there are three or four families that have close contacts." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, then at Yan Bo, "Master, do you still remember whose family they all belong to?"

"Do you want to find out what these families have to do with the Qinglian Sect?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Yan Bo chuckled, "Don't bother, these families, not just these few, but everyone Those who were deeply involved with the Qinglian Sect are no longer there."

"So that's the case!" Shen Cha nodded, "Then I don't have any other questions."

"Then I'll continue. I don't know if that girl has seen the dawn and asked us to help her escape this predicament, so she told us everything she knows." Yan Bo looked at the table She took a piece of fermented rice buns, took a bite, and said, "She said that before she came to Xijing, she had already heard her aunt like thunder, and her aunt was in charge of many things in the family, even though her aunt was old. Not big, but she is very convincing, and the elders in the family admire her very much."

"What did she do to make the elders in the family so convinced and willing to listen to her?"

"The girl said that her aunt has a kind of power in her, and after being in contact with her for a period of time, she will be convinced by her. She has also been in contact with her aunt for a period of time, and somehow feels that her aunt values ​​her very much, no matter what she says or does. It's all for her good, as long as you can do what she says, you can be like her."

"This sentence..." Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha, "Sounds familiar, doesn't it?"

"Wanyanping's aunt is another empress dowager, but it's a pity that Wanyanping is not the niece of the empress dowager, so she won't obey her." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "Although the two of them are not of the same age or era, but The method is exactly the same." She looked at Yan Bo, "Shouldn't it be just verbal control? Are there other means?"

"That's right." Yan Bo nodded, "The girl said that since she entered the palace to stay with her aunt for a period of time, she found that her aunt would take her dowry girl to the small Buddhist hall in her palace every day to stay for a long time For a long time, a few people always went in empty-handed, and when they came out, the little girls were holding trays in their hands, and there were several small boxes of different sizes on the tray. At the beginning, she didn't pay attention, after all, although she The niece of the imperial concubine is also called a young lady by outsiders, but in the final analysis, she is also dependent on others. After a long time, she realized that those incenses were made by her aunt and ordered by the noble lady outside the palace, saying that they are good for calming the nerves She knows this incense and used it at home, and it really has a calming effect. And her father also said that this is also my aunt's first business, and it is doing very well."

"She also did this business after entering the palace?"

"Yes." Yan Bo nodded, "According to that girl, the market in Xijing City is quite good, and it's hard to find a piece of incense. Not only are married women, but also some merchants' families. And her aunt has not only It is incense, there seems to be something else. But those things are more secretive, not something she can see or inquire about. In addition, she also found that some women who come to pay her aunt's greetings every day are very kind to her aunt. My respect is not because she is a noble concubine, but because..."

"The Holy Mother of Qinglian." Jin Miaomiao and Shen Cha said in unison, "At that time, the Qinglian Sect was flourishing in Xijing. The Holy Mother or the closest person to the Holy Mother of Qinglian, they will choose to be close."

"Then how did they know?" Xue Ruitian asked with a puzzled expression while holding his chin, "Because of the fragrance?"

"Yes." Jin Miaomiao nodded, and looked at each other with Shen Cha, "But it's not limited to incense, there are other means and methods to show your identity and control these wives!"

"Control?" Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "Is she using these people to inquire about the news? Isn't it more convenient for her to inquire about the news in the palace?"

"It's different." Shen Haolin shook his head lightly, "The emperor's grandfather married her only because her elder brother was benevolent to the royal family, and he had no other relationship with her. Therefore, it is impossible to treat her with the same consideration as the emperor's grandmother. Therefore, it is very difficult for her to inquire about the news in the palace. Besides, the emperor's grandfather doesn't like concubines other than the emperor's grandmother to talk about court affairs, so..."

"Understood." Xue Ruitian nodded, "In this way, the Qinglian Sect really has a big plan. Fortunately, it was wiped out in time, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Exterminate?" Yan Bo shook his head lightly, pointed at Xue Ruitian, "You're so naive!"
