Chapter 41
During the days when she was confined at home, Xie Lingyun was not idle.She seemed to be fighting with the maids every day, but actually took advantage of this time to eavesdrop around the house.

In her previous life, she might have foreseen that the rebellion would fail. Before the emperor's will came down, the father, mother, concubine and elder brother confessed everything to themselves.

Including how they cheated the sky and plotted big things in the mansion.And what industries they own, in order to prepare for the rebellion.

Among them, the West Tower of the White Crane Tower was mentioned.

On the surface, the West Building is the most famous brothel in Yanjing City, but in fact it is the information center used by Tianji Pavilion to collect information.And its top card, Yu Linglong, is a well-known intelligence agent of Tianji Pavilion. If any information in his hands is leaked, it is enough to make those civil and military officials frightened.

After all, being a ghost under a peony flower is also romantic. These civil and military officials seem to have a breeze in their sleeves, but few of them are clean behind their backs.

After drinking a few glasses of fine wine in the west building, and with the beauties by my side, I don't know how many secrets that no one knows, all of which were quietly heard.

And my brother specifically said at the time that on the third floor of the west building, there are three connected rooms, which are actually connected.Because on the left and right sides of these three rooms, there are two golden rooms that only receive dignitaries.

The people of Tianji Pavilion used this channel to secretly send people to sneak in and eavesdrop on the conversations of the dignitaries.And today, it is the left prime minister Lu Zhengting who has booked one of the Pyramid rooms!
This was the news that Xie Lingyun overheard in the palace. In order to avoid suspicion, father and brother would always be in their respective study rooms when they were planning affairs.

On the surface, it seems that they are discussing the affairs of the government, but in fact, they are all plotting to rebel.

Xie Pi and Xie Jingzhang were wary of outsiders, but they were not at all defensive towards Xie Lingyun.So much so that until now, they still don't know how many amazing things Xie Lingyun has inquired behind their backs!
After going down from the hole, the upper part returned to its original state.

Xie Lingyun bent her waist, thinking that the entrance of the cave is so small that only one person can pass through, so the inside must be very narrow and stuffy.

But she didn't walk for long, a ray of light appeared in front of her, and she drilled through the hole in the middle, revealing a small room!

There is a table and a stool inside, and candles are still lit on the table, so that Xie Lingyun can clearly see the furnishings here.

Apparently, this was the place where the spies in the West Building used to eavesdrop.Above the table, three wooden pipes hang down from the top, and when there is still some distance from the table, they are curved.

On Xie Lingyun's left hand side, there is a stack of papers, and on the right hand side is a pen and ink, which seems to be convenient for the spies to take notes while listening.

Curiously, she picked up the woodwind in the middle and listened closely, but she heard nothing.I picked up the wooden pipe on the right again, but it was still empty, nothing.

Finally, when Xie Lingyun picked up the leftmost woodwind, she just heard Zuoxiang's voice coming from it!

"Although the second prince was safe and sound this time, in the emperor's heart, he has already fallen. Now that the prince is being reprimanded, the third prince has taken advantage of the situation."

Minister of Rites Chen Zhan nodded yes, but he had some other thoughts, "Although the third prince is favored by the emperor, he has no influence in the court, and the military department has no help, so he cannot achieve great things."

The emperor's favor is like teasing kittens and puppies, as long as they are not given actual power, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Chen Zhan was most worried about the prince. "Although the crown prince was reprimanded this time because of the second prince, the emperor still let him participate in government affairs. On the other hand, the second prince has been blackened since he was grounded, and nothing is left."

Although the prince was blamed, he was still able to enter and leave the court and participate in current affairs.After the second prince was grounded, not only could he not communicate with outsiders, even the news from the court was not allowed to pass in, it was no different from confinement.

Lu Xiang's granddaughter is the second prince's concubine, Chen Zhan dare not say too much.However, compared to the third prince, the prince is still their confidant.

"Indeed, the crown prince's power in the court should not be underestimated. The Taifu alone is hard to shake." The Taifu was a role model for scholars all over the world. Later, his disciples were everywhere, and half of the court had an intricate relationship with him. .

It seems that the literati have no power or power, but as long as the Taifu raises his arms and shouts, I don't know how many literati will follow behind to echo.This kind of reputation is really embarrassing.

"I heard that the Crown Princess has been married for so many years and has never had anything to do. If we can arrange someone to get close to the Crown Prince, we will not worry about the opportunity..."

Chen Zhan's mind is very active. They have never had reliable spies on the side of the prince, so many times, they cannot preemptively strike.

But although the crown princess has nothing to do, she is still the crown prince's official concubine after all, and it is impossible for the ordinary Yingying Yanyan to send to the prince.

Just like in this West Building, many famous girls once had a romantic relationship with the prince, but they dared not say a word on the surface.

Although the prince is sometimes absurd, on the surface, he respects the princess very much.It's been so long, and I haven't accepted a formal side concubine, and those concubines are not worth mentioning at all.

Lu Zhengting heard the implication of Chen Zhan's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the other party carefully, but Chen Zhan stood there with a smile, neither dodging nor avoiding.

"I heard that Prime Minister Zuo's granddaughter, Lu Jinyi, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at dancing. If she can be favored by the prince, she will be a great help to us."

With Lu Jinyi's status, he was indeed worthy of the position of the crown prince's side concubine.Besides, although she is ranked second, she is also the daughter of the first wife, and being the crown prince's side concubine is not an insult to the crown prince.

"I've thought about it too, but my eldest granddaughter has already married the second prince as a concubine. I'm afraid this little granddaughter will not be so lucky."

Lu Zhengting didn't want to bet on both sides.However, such things can be done, but they cannot be done.

The crown prince and the second prince are both arrogant and arrogant people. If they see that he wants to support the second prince, they will probably cause trouble.What's more, his Lu family already has a concubine. In order to balance the court, it is impossible for the emperor to let the Lu family produce another concubine.

Otherwise, the balance between him and the prime minister will also be broken.

Chen Zhan smiled slightly. It's not that he doesn't understand these truths, but he has to say it from Zuo Xiang's mouth to count.

After all, what's better is not that he didn't propose, but that he couldn't achieve it.That being the case, it might not be a problem if there is a slight deviation.
