Chapter 23 23. The Law of the Dark Forest
"Mother Zhang!" Wang Zhi was surprised! "Isn't she the empress mother's most trusted person?"

As soon as the words came out, Wang Zhi felt that he was naive!

Why should someone trusted by Empress Dou be trusted by you, Wang Zhi?Who is Empress Dou, is she one with your Wang Zhi?Each is their own master. In the final analysis, Madam Zhang's master is Empress Dou, not her Wang Zhi!So, what does Empress Dou have that needs Nanny Zhang to deal with her?
I thought there was a generation gap, but the rigid old woman just couldn't understand her behavior and was looking for faults everywhere, but she was observing her and looking for opportunities to play tricks!

"Forgive me for being reckless! I thought that Nanny Zhang was trustworthy, and only strengthened the guards in Jiaofang Hall..." Liang Wang said with a face full of shame.

"After the emperor's sister-in-law was thrown into Yongxiang, the younger brother pleaded with the queen mother, but the mother refused... because the queen mother said that it would be better for Ping'er to be raised by the concubine Bo!..."

grass!Robbing and abducting children? !This time it's Ping'er, what about next time?Could it be that she, Wang Yan, is a surrogate, a walking womb? "Be born the Son of Heaven", will her son be robbed in the future?

A bad breath came from the side of the gallbladder!

Wang Zhi clenched his lips and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that the empress dowager and empress are going to leave their mothers and keep their children?"

"Sister-in-law!" Liang Wang stood up and saluted, "This is not the mother's original intention. Mrs. Shen's family is now in prosperity, and the father seems to have the intention of changing the queen...The mother needs the support of the queen mother..."

Empress Dowager Bo's grandniece, Concubine Bo, can't give birth to a child, so Wang Zhi and her Ping'er became Empress Dou's gesture of favor to Empress Dowager Bo?
Wang Zhi was filled with grief and indignation!The prince, the emperor, and the queen want her life!Crown Princess, Empress, Empress Dowager, want her Ping'er!

"Emperor's sister-in-law, don't hate your mother," Liang Wang explained for his mother, "Actually, your mother likes you very much...Since you left, she has cried many times, and misses the lively and happy company with you. Jiaofang Palace is too deserted! She , very lonely..."

Who is not alone?Wang Zhi felt powerless.

In the deep palace, the temptation of interests and power makes everyone feel like walking on eggshells and fighting each other.The superior is still lonely, how about her?Who can she rely on?Can she and her Ping'er be at the mercy of others?

Lifting his tearful eyes, Liang Wang was looking at her lovingly, which made her feel warm.

Such a warm man, loves his mother and queen, loves his lover, and does his best to protect the one he loves.Arrange the lover to take care of the queen mother, and explain the helplessness of the queen mother to the lover on behalf of the mother...

This man loves her, protects her, saves her, and warms her!In this indifferent and deep palace, he is her spiritual support and a resting garden!
With a tearful smile, King Liang's hand stroked her face.

"Little Fairy..." Liang Wang murmured in confusion, "Don't be afraid! With me..."

Wang Zhi grabbed Liang Wang's hand, slowly took it away, and said softly, with tears streaming down his face:

"A gentleman is like clearing road dust, and a concubine is like muddy cement.

Ups and downs are different, when will they meet?
May it be the southwest wind, and die forever in your arms..."

She picked up the helmet, got up and saluted, and left decisively.Flying on his horse, Wang Zhi looked back deeply at the distraught King Liang who had chased him out.

"Drive!" Wang Zhi lashed his horsewhip.The wind can't take away my sadness, let the tears go with the wind!

After Wang Zhi sneaked back to the palace and changed back to his daily attire, Zhi Du suddenly knelt down, "Major, Yao Weng heard that Madam is safe and sound, and asked Madam to keep a low profile in the future and not get too close to Mrs. Shen! Keep moving with the queen!"

"Yao Weng?!" Wang Zhi stared at Zhidu, "Guard Zhi, you..."

"My father and Yao Weng are both former members of the King of Yan, and they will swear to be loyal to the empress to the death! Yao Weng has his own arrangement, please be careful with the empress!" Zhi Du kowtowed.

Back at Chongfang Pavilion, Ping'er was sleeping peacefully.Wang Zhi sat beside her and looked at her baby.

A little person like a dough ball, one small hand is placed next to the face, and a flower held by the other small hand has fallen to the side.

Gently flicking the little man's bangs, she moved, opened her eyes, and laughed when she saw her mother.

Wang Zhi stretched out his hand to hug her up: "My Ping'er, she has four teeth now! It's great!"

Ping'er was in her mother's arms, leaning over to grab her flowers, and the wet nurse hurriedly picked them up and handed them to her.With her fat little hands, she held the flowers and put them on her mother's temple, smiling happily, and when she let go, the flowers fell to the ground.

"Does Ping'er want to wear flowers for mother?" Liu Qi didn't know when he came in, he bent down to pick up the flowers, put them in Ping'er's hands, helped his daughter, and put the flowers on Wang Zhi together.

Seeing the little fan dancing happily with his little hands, Liu Qi took his daughter into his arms and let the little man pick his eyebrows and nose.

"Ah, ah~ it hurts Daddy's nose! My crown..."

Ping'er tore off her father's hat and threw it on the ground with a flick of her hand!The maid hurriedly picked it up.

"You little bastard!" Liu Qi laughed angrily, and turned to face Wang Yan, "If Rong'er and the others were like this, I would have beaten them up long ago! But my Ping'er... Daddy can't bear it!"

Seeing Liu Qi's loving father, Wang Zhi smiled faintly.

If it is an ordinary family, the husband and wife are loving, and the children are innocent, what a happy and happy picture it is!Wang Zhi couldn't help but sighed.

"What's wrong with Ai Ji?" Liu Qi asked, handing Ping'er to the wet nurse to breastfeed.

Wang Zhi shook his head: "I heard that the Holy Majesty wants Yongxiang to choose a court lady, canonize her as a princess, and send her to the Xiongnu for marriage?"

Liu Qi nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "The Xiongnu evil bandits are harassing and harassing our border, burning, killing and looting! Marrying is just a stopgap measure, it is also to reduce the battle and recuperate!"

"The Xiongnu have many forces, and the marriage is just to appease one. It cannot fundamentally change the status quo. I heard that small forces often harass the people..." Wang Zhi said worriedly.

"The national power is not strong, but the people's livelihood is the most important thing... Waiting to accumulate strength, the country will be rich and the people strong, and the Huns will be killed! Only then can we eliminate the hatred of our country's enemies and families!" Liu Qi said viciously.

Ping'er became more and more attached to her mother.This insecurity in infancy made her cry when she couldn't see her mother.Wang Zhi had no choice but to take her with him.

Since his daughter separated from her when she was just born, and missed Ping'er's first growing years, Wang Zhi loves her daughter even more and loves her in every possible way.

"Ping'er is good, let grandma hug her!" Mrs. Shen couldn't put it down, she held Ping'er in her arms and teased her.

"Why doesn't Madam have children?" Wang Zhi asked curiously seeing that Madam Shen liked children so much.

Mrs. Shen is only 25 years old, a little older than Wang Zhi, according to modern sayings, the best childbearing age.

Madam Shen's eyes dimmed, "The Holy Majesty does not allow Ben Gong to have children..."

Seeing Mrs. Shen's sad expression, Wang Zhi waved his hand to let the palace people back.

Caressing Ping'er's fleshy little hand, Mrs. Shen couldn't help crying, "The Holy Majesty ascended the throne from the acting king, and then appointed a prince. The prince is the foundation of the country, and the government and the public expect it."

"Fengpei's meritorious officials have always wanted to control the Holy One; the princes and kings are also secretly waiting for opportunities. Yiji and I are both offered to the emperor by the princes. It seems that we are favored, but the emperor does not trust us... I am afraid that we are instigated by others to charm the emperor and cause chaos. Jiangshan...doesn't dare to let me have a child, for fear that someone will support me and the child and compete for the crown prince..."

"The Holy Majesty took me and the Queen to Shanglin Garden to play. When the ministers were entertained, the Lang Department arranged me and Empress Dou to sit next to the Holy Majesty. Then Yuan An pulled my seat behind the Holy Majesty, saying that the order was orderly, and the Empress was Wife, I am a concubine, the common people cannot spoil concubines and kill wives, and the emperor cannot allow concubines to sit on the same level as empresses!"

"I left the meeting angrily... My Majesty persuaded me to keep a low profile, admit my mistakes to the Queen, and bow my head, saying that I was afraid that I would end up like a pig in his future!..."

Mrs. Shen couldn't cry, Wang Zhi didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only wipe her tears with a silk handkerchief.

"Since then, I have known that I can no longer think about the position of empress. Once, when the emperor was happy, he privately said that I would be the empress..."

"The Holy Majesty is eternal, and he is determined to support the crown prince." Mrs. Shen smiled sadly, "Your blind mother-in-law is old and decrepit, why should she stay in the lower position? It is mother who is more expensive than her son!"

Wang Zhi listened silently.As far as her own interests are concerned, she doesn't want Mrs. Shen to have a son, which will bring turmoil to the Han Empire.After all, in the future, her son will inherit Liu Qi's throne in order to become the eternal emperor.

No wonder Yao Weng asked Zhidu to spread the word, telling her not to get too close to Mrs. Shen.One is that Mrs. Shen is getting the favor, so getting close to her will definitely attract people's attention; second, Empress Dou is worried that Mrs. Shen will replace her one day, and seeing her getting close to Mrs. Shen, she will definitely hold a grudge; It is the queen and the prince, the mother and the child are one.As the concubine of the prince Ji, if she does not serve their interests, she may be abandoned again or even lose her life...

In this deep palace, there are countless people who are good at dancing with long sleeves and have strong backgrounds.A mere king is nothing more than an ant on the side of the road.

This is also in line with the law of the dark jungle, whoever shines is the target of everyone's attack.It was the verse of "Being the Son of Heaven" before, which caused her to be plotted repeatedly.

There is a saying, build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.With Yao Weng's secret support, her mother's family, Lingtian Mansion, will also do their best to help.Only by slowly expanding his strength, forbearing and keeping a low profile, can Wang Zhi become the final winner.

 Thank you for your support!Comparing!
