Chapter 311: Stupid

"I will firmly grasp the luck in my hand and not let it slip away."
Jiang Yan stared at Gu Jiu, "However, I need my wife's assistance."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "The empress is a Shuyi, and she is deeply loved by your majesty. I am a little emperor's grand-wife, how can I help the empress. Empress do not want to laugh."
Jiang Yan shook her head slightly, and she said, "You could help me when my palace was not well-known. Now my palace is precious, and my wife can naturally help me. Please don't refuse me thousands of miles away."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Is this the purpose of my mother seeing me?"
Jiang Yan calmly faced, "Yes, this is my purpose. The foundation of this palace is not strong, and this day depends on your majesty's favor. If one day, your majesty's favor is given to others, how can this palace stand?"
"You have a noble concubine. The noble concubine is your patron."
"My palace doesn't believe me, my wife didn't see what happened in the main hall before. My wife and the imperial concubine are already people on two ropes. The Xue family has been rich for generations, and there is a grassroots in this palace. Today is the blessing of heaven. My palace has no capital to fight with Concubine Xue Gui."
"You don't have to fight with the imperial concubine, as long as you are willing to surrender, as in the past, the imperial concubine will stand for you."
Jiang Yan smiled contemptuously, "Madam herself doesn't believe this, so why bother to use it to fool me. It is impossible for Xue Guifei and I to go back to the past, and it is impossible for my palace to bow to her."
Gu Jiu said directly: "I can't help you deal with Concubine Xue Gui."
Jiang Yan said: "My palace knows. So my palace has no plans to ask his wife to help with Concubine Xue. My family's family has arrived in the capital. My palace hopes that my wife can take care of me for one or two."
Gu Jiu was suspicious, "On this matter?"
Jiang Yan smiled softly, "My palace hopes to join forces with Prince Ning's Mansion to deal with the Xue family. I don't know what the wife wants?"
not very good!
Jiang Shuyi seems to be favored, but in fact is in an awkward situation.
She does not have the confidence of Li Zhaoyi because she is not pregnant.
At the same time, she offended the harem concubine headed by Xue Guifei. Once she fell out of favor, she would be forever, and she would not even have the capital to turn over.
Li Zhaoyi has children anyhow, and he can turn over by relying on them.
Jiang Shuyi can only rely on the favor of the emperor.
However, the favor of the emperor is the most elusive thing.
So she was panicked. She took her family to the capital, hoping that one day her family could be her help.
On the other hand, she wants to unite with a strong foreign aid to ensure that she can remain invincible. After much deliberation, the Ning Palace behind Gu Jiu is the best choice.
Therefore, she wants to see Gu Jiu.
She will try to persuade Gu Jiu to accept her terms.
However, she forgot that she was a student taught by Gu Jiu. With her level, it is not enough to surpass the teacher Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Didn't Empress Shuyi and Li Zhaoyi team up? You and Li Zhaoyi have worked together to kill the concubine. As long as you continue to cooperate, the empress will naturally have a foothold in the palace."
Jiang Yan looked suspicious.
Gu Jiu said softly: "Everyone sees everything that happens in the hall. Although the empress did not communicate with Li Zhaoyi the whole time, anyone with a brain can see that you have escaped from the control of the imperial concubine and Li Zhaoyi. Cooperation. If it weren't for this, how could Concubine Xian fail so badly."
Li Zhaoyi wanted to deal with Concubine Xian, with a good plan, but he also needed someone to slander and fan the flames in the emperor and forward for her.
Because there are some things that others can say, but Li Zhaoyi cannot.
When Li Zhaoyi said it, he would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.
At this time, Li Zhaoyi thought of Jiang Shuyi. Jiang Shuyi is the best foreign aid.
Jiang Yan did not consider it too long, and agreed to cooperate with Li Zhaoyi, and promised to bring down three concubines: Xue Guifei, Xiao Shufei, and Xianfei (Shu Jieyu).
Today is the day when the two won a complete victory, and everything went according to plan.
Concubine Xian was demoted to Jieyu, and King Yan was finished.
But Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Xue Gui were not so easily defeated.
The natal power behind these two people is strong and has deep roots in the court.
If you take a wrong step, you may burn yourself.
Especially when facing Xue Guifei's gaze, Jiang Yan felt scared.
Only then did she realize that agreeing to cooperate with Li Zhaoyi was too hasty.
She forgot that the harem and Chaotang are always inextricably linked. I thought everyone was the same as her, and neither parents nor brothers could rely on her.
She can't rely on it, but others can.
Not only is it reliable, but it can also come back.
She felt scared, she didn't have the luck of Li Zhaoyi, and there was no child in her belly to make amulets.
Moreover, Li Zhaoyi's father and brother have already networked a group of people on the court, and they can help her when necessary.
But Jiang Yan had nothing, no father and brother to help him, no foreign aid, no amulet.
At this time, Jiang Yan realized that cooperating with Li Zhaoyi was simply a bad move.
Her foundation is unstable, and the safest way is to protect herself and not participate in the struggle of either side.
But she was too anxious and wanted to climb up too much.
When I really climbed up, I looked down and was shocked to death.
It turned out that what she was stepping on was not a golden throne, but a rotten wooden board. If you take a wrong step, you may be overwhelmed.
Ever since, she found Gu Jiu.
I hope to cooperate with Prince Ning's Mansion to ensure his safety.
She said to Gu Jiu: "I can help Concubine Shu deal with the imperial concubine and help King Ning seize the throne. I only want to be prosperous and wealthy for one lifetime."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled contemptuously.
She told Jiang Yan back then that it doesn't matter if things are slower, just a steady word. Don't be impatient in everything.
However, to this day, Jiang Yan still hasn't corrected her irritability.
He kept saying to help Concubine Shu and King Ning. That’s not how they negotiated.
From the moment she said this, she was doomed to defeat.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I can't call the shots on this matter."
"My palace knows. You can convey the meaning of this palace to King Ning and Concubine Shu."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, really panicked, too anxious. If she had to tell Zefan's words to Empress Shu, she knew that Jiang Yan would not survive.
With Jiang Yan's two-handed and three-handed swordsman, Li Zhaoyi and Xue Guifei Xiao Shu will definitely join forces to kill Jiang Yan first. Then the three fight each other again.
Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "It's not urgent."
How Jiang Yan is not in a hurry, she has the illusion that she will be killed every minute.
She desperately wants a strong foreign aid.
Gu Jiu solemnly said to her: "Your family, when I go back, I will send someone to take care of one or two. As for the palace, for the sake of our old acquaintances, I will give you an idea for the time being. You don't have to listen to it. really."
"Madam, please."
Gu Jiu said softly: "The old tripartite balance in the palace was broken tonight, but the new tripartite balance will be established soon.
When Li Zhaoyi successfully gave birth to the prince, she would have the capital to compete with the imperial concubines.
Therefore, Empress Shuyi must make up his mind as soon as possible, whether to cooperate firmly with Li Zhaoyi, or to take another path. "
Jiang Yan frowned, "Why does Madam say that there is a three-way balance? Can't there be a four-way balance in the palace?"
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Ms. Shuyi read the history books, but she found a rule that the forces that can compete with each other during the same period are the best and the most stable. If a fourth party joins, it will soon become a tripartite. The situation is evenly matched. One of the parties will either die or be swallowed by the other three parties. What is Lady Shuyi going to do?"
Jiang Yan's expression was uncertain, "If Prince Ning's Mansion is willing to support this palace, this palace can also be one of the three forces."
Gu Jiu bowed his head and shook his head slightly.
There is Concubine Xiao Shu in the palace, and Prince Ning's Mansion will never be able to support Jiang Yan as one of the tripartite forces.
These words, she will not say clearly.
Jiang Yan is smart enough, if she is willing to calmly think about it, she will want to understand what she means.
But if the impatience is not corrected, one day he will find his own way.
Because of the old acquaintance, she reminded Jiang Yan that she would not go into a dead end. But only so.
Until next time, the two may be strangers and hate each other.
But it doesn't matter. Gu Jiu always has a clear conscience in doing things.
Gu Jiu said, "I have been out for a while, so it's time to go back."
"Madam walk slowly."
Gu Jiu got up and left the side hall.
When she saw Zhou Miao, she disappeared in a flash.
Gu Jiu smiled briefly, and said to Mother Fang and the others: "Let's go back."
Jiang Yanku sat in the side hall.
Zhou Miao walked out of the darkness, "Manny, what are you worried about."
"You heard what Madam Zhao said."
Zhou Miao nodded.
"What does she mean?"
Zhou Miao lowered his head and smiled, "Niang, did you really hear what Madam Zhao meant? She has already made the decision for the Ning Palace and refused to cooperate with you.
She also reminded the empress that if you want to save your life, Li Zhaoyu and Xue Guifei can only choose one. It is best to choose Li Zhaoyi, because the empress cannot go back to Xue Guifei. "
Jiang Yan's face was pale, "What does she really mean?"
Zhou Miao said affirmatively: "The meaning of Madam Zhao couldn't be more clear, she has already said clearly. The new three forces in the harem must be Concubine Xiao Shu, Concubine Xue, and Li Zhaoyi. The foundation of the empress is unstable, and the father and brother are not able to do it. The fourth party. You can only cling to those three parties, and Li Zhaoyi is the best choice."
Jiang Yan flushed and was too embarrassed.
Did Gu Jiu always laugh at her? She sincerely wanted to cooperate, but in Gu Jiu's eyes, she became a ridiculous clown.
Too much deception!
Zhou Miao said again: "This Madam Zhao is really smart and powerful."
Jiang Yan sneered coldly, "She is naturally shrewd. When she was poor and white, she was able to get away from the calculations of her stepmother, and in turn, calculate her maiden family."
Zhou Miao was very interested when he heard it, but he didn't know that it was not the time to ask this.
He reminded Jiang Yan, "The foundation of the empress is not stable, and there will be many places to rely on Madam Zhao in the future. Therefore, the empress does not want to turn his face with Madam Zhao.
And Mrs. Zhao also agreed, and will send someone to look after the mother's family. Madam Zhao is taking care of her, so she can rest assured.
I don't know anything else, but I know that Madam Zhao is very reliable. She will not make promises lightly, and once promised, she will keep her promise. "
Jiang Yan was dissatisfied, "You have a very high opinion of her."
Zhou Miao laughed, "Isn’t it also thanks to Madam Zhao’s help that the empress can have today? If it weren’t for Madam Zhao to teach her to read, can she seize the opportunity and be favored by your majesty?"
"you shut up!"
Jiang Yan scolded Zhou Miao angrily, "Where are you on earth?"
Zhou Miao Fuer said: "I naturally stand by my mother. I say this, not to stimulate the mother, but to remind the mother that she can learn more from Madam Zhao. Her suggestion can also be regarded as a conscience suggestion, sincerely for you. . So not only can the empress not hate Madam Zhao, but she must also be grateful."
"My palace is grateful to her? What are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding. She has promised that she won't harm Niang Niang. For this alone, Niang Niang should be grateful to her."
Jiang Yan was suspicious, "How can she harm my palace? Don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Miao reminded Jiang Yan, "Did the empress forget what she said? You asked Madam Zhao to tell Concubine Xiao Shu, King Ning, and said that you can help them deal with Concubine Xue and help King Ning seize the throne.
Fortunately, Madam Zhao rejected your proposal. Otherwise, she only needs to tell Concubine Xiao Shu these words, and the empress will soon be beaten into the cold palace and be killed by herself. "
Jiang Yan's expression changed, "You speak clearly."
Zhou Miao sighed, "The empress calmly think about it, if Madam Zhao really tells Concubine Xiao Shu to know what Concubine Xiao Shu will do?
Will she really accept you? Absolutely not. Everyone will guard against the empress. Concubine Xiao Shu will only work with Concubine Xue Gui and Li Zhaoyi to kill the empress, leaving you dead without a place to bury you.
People in the palace don't want a double-handed man to be an ally in order to climb up unscrupulously. Because they are afraid that one day they will be sold by you. "
Jiang Yan was trembling all over, her face pale, "What you said is true?"
"Naturally it is true. So the empress must be grateful to Madam Zhao, because she has rejected you and has no plans to spread your words."
Jiang Yan was short of breath and felt uncomfortable.
She clutched her heart, "My palace has personally handed such a big handle to Madam Zhao's hands. Haha, my palace must be stupid."
After she finished speaking, she cried again, crying very sadly.
Zhou Miao comforted her.
"Who leaves us without a good family background, no good parents, no good education from childhood, and ignorance of the harem people's minds. The mothers and daughters will learn from the harem and gain wisdom.
Jiang Yan wiped away her tears and smiled coldly, "You're right. My family suffers from a loss. I'm poor at home. I don't read much. I don't have many things to teach. I just rely on my own exploration. Take a lesson and treat it as paying tuition."
Zhou Miao nodded, "I'm relieved if my mother can think so."
Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and said: "But this palace will not always be like this. One day, this palace will sit in that position, and everyone will kneel at the feet of this palace."
"I will help my mother."
...
Gu Jiu returned to the hall, where the hall was full of smoke.
Because it was a family banquet, there were no foreign ministers, and the royal clan members were strayed.
The young man's family has a lot of age and is disrespectful of the old. He took off his clothes and sang two songs with the singer.
The clan also robbed the musicians of the work and played a Qingping music.
Pei has a headache and wants to return to the palace early.
She said: "Farewell to the empress with this palace, and then return to the house."
"Regardless of the prince?"
King Ning sat on the ground, holding a hip flask in one hand while singing loudly.
The emperor doesn't care, it's quite cheerful.
Pei said: "Don't worry about the prince, we will go home first."
Pei stood up and led everyone to Xiao Shu's concubine, "Mother concubine, daughter-in-law, take everyone back to the house first. Please enter the palace tomorrow morning and please peace."
Concubine Xiao Shu looked tired, "Go. Before entering the palace tomorrow, send someone to the palace gate to see the situation. Maybe you don't need to enter the palace."
"Why is this?" Pei's heart was startled.
Concubine Xiao Shu gave a wry smile, "Didn't you see all of it? The chaos is like this, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Pei was anxious and could only leave first.
Gu Jiu followed, and she saw Jiang Yan when she looked back.
Jiang Yan returned to the emperor, talking and laughing. The corner of her eye has been chasing Gu Jiu's figure.
When Gu Jiu looked back and saw her, the two eyes collided in the air.
Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled without any aggressiveness.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, determined to stay away from Jiang Yan.
"Congratulations to Madam!"
Zhou Miao suddenly emerged from the darkness, and Gu Jiu was startled.
Gu Jiu glared at him, and said in a low voice, "Keep up."
To prevent people from seeing the strangeness, Zhou Miao can only be mixed in the crowd and go to the palace gate with her.
Zhou Miao was a step behind Gu Jiu, and said in a low voice, "Emperor Shuyi asked me to thank Madam for her. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely return one or two."
Gu Jiu stared ahead and walked slowly, already ten steps behind.
She said coldly: "No need to repay. I and her do not owe each other."
"I know that Madam wants to separate the relationship with the empress, but can you really separate it?"
Gu Jiu still didn't look back, "Shuyi called you, or you made your own decision."
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is."
"I want to see Madam myself."
Such frankness was beyond Gu Jiu's expectations.
