Princess Fortune

Chapter 116
Seeing Zhao Lan again the next day, Xu Tang's attitude became cold and calm again.

Zhao Lan looked at Xu Tang, and there was a little light in his eyes, but it was well concealed.

Zhao Lan had diarrhea all day.

Xu Tang felt that maybe it was the piece of fat that caused the trouble.

However, Xu Tang has no guilt.

In the morning, Ye Qingshi received a letter from Feige in the capital. After reading it, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Tang: "That county magistrate was executed. He was charged with dereliction of duty. Even the pier caught fire, and even injured Minister of the court."

Xu Tang immediately reacted: "What about Mr. Zheng?"

Ye Qingshi's eyes showed a hint of amusement: "He died due to serious injuries."

No mention of corruption.

Xu Tang sighed lightly: "Those common people, I'm afraid they have suffered in vain. Then... what about those assassins?"

To put it bluntly, they are also doing this because they are dissatisfied with the rampant corruption of officials.

It's just because the imperial court can't give them justice, so they can only ask for justice themselves.

And now...

"Half of it is really to seek justice." Ye Qingshi said softly, glanced at Xu Tang, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "You don't understand officialdom."

At this moment, Zhao Lan said, "More people are sent by the same party, maybe even sent by the Queen Mother."

Xu Tang knew what Zhao Lan said was true.

So she glanced at Ye Qingshi: "The young master is still involved—"

Ye Qingshi glanced at Zhao Lan, motioning for Zhao Lan to explain.

Zhao Lan continued expressionlessly: "What the young master wants is a chance to become famous, a chance to show his face. Besides, the young master doesn't know anything, but just escorted Mr. Zheng for a ride. Even if the queen mother is unhappy, she will never will show."

Xu Tang asked Zhao Lan directly: "Then tell me, the Empress Dowager will be murderous when she sees the young master and sees that the young master is so similar to the late emperor?"

"The queen mother may not be able to, but..." Zhao Lan said softly: "But the clan's side may not be able to."

Xu Tang frowned.

Zhao Lan thought that Xu Tang didn't understand, so he pointed it out: "On the other side of the clan, there are several princes who have sons. As long as the identity of the young masters is not confirmed, then they are the best ones to inherit the throne."

The premise is that His Majesty is gone.

Xu Tang actually knew it well.

But at this time, seeing Zhao Lan talking eloquently, even though she knew that Zhao Lan was trying her best to prove her usefulness to Ye Qing, but listening to this, she was also a little startled.

Zhao Lan is indeed useful.

She didn't follow Ye Qingshi or the Queen Mother back then, so she didn't know these details.

But Zhao Lan knew it all.

"We can think of a way to see if we can get rid of these princes with the help of the Queen Mother." When Xu Tang said this, he was looking at Zhao Lan.

Ye Qingshi looked at Xu Tang's solemn and serious deliberation expression, a little stunned and a little speechless.

Is this... the wrong person?

Ye Qingshi's expression became calmer, more detached and indifferent, and his aura became more condensed: "Zhao Lan, what do you think?"

Zhao Lan saw the subtle changes in Ye Qingshi, and was taken aback for a moment. After glancing at Xu Tang without a trace, he bowed his head obediently: "Young Master, what do you mean?"

Xu Tang was caught off guard by Zhao Lan's words: She's overstepped!
She shouldn't have said that, let alone asserted herself.

The only one who can make the decision is Ye Qingshi!

I have to admit that this old eunuch still has some skills.

Xu Tang was annoyed, and then took a flattering look at Ye Qingshi.

Ye Qingshi was unmoved, and still only looked at Zhao Lan: "What do you think?"

Xu Tang sighed inwardly, and warned himself a few words, so he didn't dare to relax any more, and just stared at Ye Qingshi—to please the master, observe his words, respect the master everywhere, and do everything properly, this is what a good court lady should do. available.

Although I don't plan to enter the palace again in this life, but I still have to do the job of a palace maid, so I have to do it well.

At least the old eunuch Zhao Lan can't be called to take his position away!You can't ask him to compare!
If Zhao Lan knew what Xu Tang was thinking, he would probably vomit blood: It could have been a win-win cooperation, so why do you insist on competing with each other!
But Xu Tang's current attitude satisfied Ye Qingshi.

Ye Qingshi's expression softened a little.

Seeing this, Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Xu Tang quietly, and snorted coldly in her heart: "Little girl, who are you?"

Zhao Lan coughed and continued talking——Ye Qingshi was staring at him, so he naturally worked harder: "This matter can indeed be done as Xu Tang said. But she is young and doesn't understand it. Our first step is to take precautions. Naturally, these people will do everything they can. The most fearful thing is that they will find out His Highness's life experience."

"At that time, let's unite with the Queen Mother first." Zhao Lan's expression became serious, and he glanced at Ye Qing: "So young master, look, what should we do?"

When Xu Tang also looked at Ye Qing, he silently learned another trick in his heart.

In fact, there is no choice at all.

After being told by Zhao Lan, Ye Qingshi seemed to be very wise as long as he made a decision in the end...

It turns out that flattering the master can still be so flattering?

Xu Tang thought to himself, it turns out that being a great eunuch or a big court lady is different from their little palace maids.

Ye Qingshi did not answer Zhao Lan, but looked at Xu Tang's distracted look: "What do you think?"

Xu Tang came back to his senses, subconsciously said: "What do you think, young master?"

Ye Qing was suddenly helpless, and felt that Zhao Lan had taught Xu Tang badly.

So simply ask again: "You just say it!"

Xu Tang thought about it for a while, and then told the truth: "The Queen Mother may not leave a way out for herself. Although Your Majesty is not doing much right now, but...the Queen Mother still prefers people who are well-behaved and easy to control. One is a person who has lived in the capital since childhood. Brother Young Master, there are powerful forces behind him. And the other one is a sick child raised in the countryside..."

Which one to pick, is obvious.

"The young master simply faked an assassination, and then let the queen mother know. Let the queen mother see their ambitions!"

Strike first.

This principle is still quite useful.

Zhao Lan was a little stunned: "But it's too risky."

And with this method, Taijian took a slant.

In case nothing happens...

Xu Tang smiled maliciously: "We can also recommend famous doctors to the queen mother. For example, ask the young master about this."

The imperial physicians in the palace have different paths from the doctors outside the palace, so changing doctors is also a common choice.

"The young master just pretended not to know anything. When the time comes, after being found out about his background, he will feel uneasy and panicky."

When Xu Tang glanced at Ye Qing, "I just feel a little wronged, young master."

Showing weakness like this, Ye Qingshi might feel aggrieved.

Ye Qingshi didn't think there was anything wrong.

Immediately Ye Qing smiled: "This idea is good, let me think about it for a while, and then discuss it with my father."

　Talking about the know-how and abilities of the superiors in the palace~ Our old eunuch Zhao Lan deserves it!Tang Hua expressed her conviction...
