Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Linzhao Palace.

"There's no news at all?" Concubine Zhen was extremely surprised.

When Concubine Zhen heard that the riot by the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department was suppressed in less than two hours, she knew that this must be a test instigated by someone with ulterior motives, using the excuse that the women of the Eastern Palace had moved to another palace today.

She didn't want to know who this person was, but she wanted to know what the situation was like inside the Eastern Palace, such as how many factions there were, who could be used, and who should not be provoked.

The emperor is going to abdicate, and in another month she will become the imperial concubine.

In history, no one who became the emperor emeritus could live for more than two years, so she had to start looking for allies for herself in the harem.

Originally, if the eldest daughter of the Jia family could stay with the prince, she would be able to get a high position from the emperor, and she would also be able to form a secret alliance with the other party, and they would support each other throughout their lives in the harem.

But now it is Wang who holds half of the power in the Eastern Palace.

This person...she couldn't understand him.

My parents are far away from me, I have become enemies with my uncles and aunts, and I have no relatives to rely on and no friends.

She had been sealed in the Eastern Palace for three years alone, and once the seal was lifted, she was promoted to Consort Liang!

Even if it was all due to coincidences and this girl was blessed with good fortune, if there were no other reasons, Concubine Zhen would not believe anything he said.

Originally, Concubine Zhen planned to wait for Wang to enter the Daming Palace. In the half month before the crown prince ascended the throne, she would take a good look at this person's behavior and then decide whether she was an enemy or a friend.

But who would have known that the fence between the prince and this Wang family would be so strong? Apart from the fact that the prince went from Xuanzheng Palace to Zhaoyang Palace, then to Hanbing Palace, and finally had dinner in Chengxiang Palace before returning to the East Palace, no other news could be heard.

The more Concubine Zhen thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask her trusted maid Bei Jin, "Who selected the original servants in Chengxiang Palace?"

"Of course it was assigned from the Yunting—Wu Wei. He picked the person and Prime Minister Dai nodded. Hasn't it always been like this?" Bei Jin was puzzled.

Wearing a photo.

Concubine Zhen sat there frowning for a long while before she said softly, "No, the people in Chengxiang Hall, or rather, the people who moved into the four halls of the Eastern Palace, were probably all selected by Wang Shi herself..."

Bei Jin shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible. How many times has she entered Daming Palace? I'm afraid she doesn't even know which door leads to which place!

"Wu Wei has always listened to Wei Nan except for Dai Xiang. And Wei Nan has always been loyal to Zheng Fan. Could it be possible that Wu Wei could be manipulated by Wang Shi?"

Concubine Zhen was speechless.

After a long while, an idea suddenly occurred to her: Could it be that Wang's father Wang Zifu had left a backup plan for her?

But he immediately rejected this idea.

In a moment of impulse, Prince Fu gave up his own future, left his daughter in the capital as a hostage, and returned south with his wife and son, saving the lives of several subordinates of the deposed prince.

But just because he dared to be the first in the world, among these people, except for a few who were not clear-headed and still hated and blamed Prince Fu, the others had to keep their distance from him.

You can tell by the fact that Wang stayed alone in the capital for five or six years without any close friends.

Under such circumstances, how could she possibly control the servants that the Ye Ting provided to the four great palaces? !

Concubine Zhen was in deep thought.

Could it be, the prince?

Could it be that Prince Cheng, who used to be very low-key, has already reached his hands into the deepest part of the Daming Palace?

Seeing that she had been looking down in thought, Bei Jin also came over and whispered, "But maybe His Majesty wants to give face to the East Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhen's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Yup!

There was a riot in the Imperial Household Department, the Ninth Prince was nearly taken hostage, and His Majesty was nearly killed. At this moment, if anyone goes out to inquire for news, they will probably not be able to find out anything!

Moreover, if the information is found out from someone who shouldn't be found out, would he be suspected of being the mastermind behind the incident?

Concubine Zhen said hurriedly, "Forget it. We will have many dealings in the future. Just rest in the palace for the next few days and don't go out."

Bei Jinsong breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and then laughed softly, "I went to ask Qian Gang for news, but the guards passing by stared at me with their eyes wide open. I dared not ask again..."

........................

Except for the women in the Eastern Palace who stayed in their own palaces after being warned one by one by Aunt Meng sent by Wang Xifeng, the concubines in other palaces did not want to find out the news.

However, before the maids and eunuchs had walked ten steps out of the palace gate, the guards drove them back, adding a sentence: "Your Majesty has ordered that if there is a need in each palace, the head aunt of each palace can write a list and report it to Chengxiang Palace."

Don't go out of the palace and wander around.

Everyone went back quietly.

It finally quieted down.

Wang Xifeng didn't feel anything that night until the next morning when she went to pay her respects to Queen Mo and found that there was still no concubine in Zhaoyang Palace. Only then did she realize how terrible silence was.

Being quiet means that she can only work and not cause trouble.

If she doesn’t stir up trouble, how can she help revise the Book of Life and Death?

"Meow." Wu Jin and Su Yu squatted on the ground and looked up at her.

Who says you can’t kill people without doing something new?

The riot in the Imperial Household Department was a huge deal. If you want to implicate others, it would only take a moment!

However, the crown prince is about to abdicate. Are you sure you want to make trouble at this time?

Wang Xifeng lowered her eyes and glanced at the two cats. She felt that once Wu Jin got close to Su Yu, his brain would not work very well.

“Wu Jin, you just started to become stupid after being with Su Yu every day;

"How about you let Suyu give birth to a litter of children for you?

"I really want to know, after you become a father, will you become more stupid, or will you regain your original intelligence!"

Wang Xifeng was smiling, but Su Yu was frightened by her expression and turned around and ran back to the Xuan Zheng Hall.

Wu Jin was embarrassed, his head dropped, and he twisted his neck to lick his fur strategically.

Before Su Yu ran away, it knew it was wrong.

It is indeed okay to kill someone without causing trouble, but if someone dies suddenly, there still has to be a plausible scene and reason.

As for whether the prince ascends the throne or not, what does it have to do with Wang Xifeng?

She was hoping that something would go wrong at this moment so that she could help muddy the waters. Then she could kill as many people as she wanted!

Moreover, for Prince Qin Guang... and for the Crown Prince, it is better for such an incident to happen before he ascended the throne and be dealt with by his father who has been magnanimous all his life than to have his hands stained with blood in the first three months of sitting on the throne, right?

Just do it.

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and wrote a note, asking Wu Jin to take it to Ban Nu: "Urgent."

Wu Jin looked up at her: Meow.

Why not find an excuse to call Chen Duo over? Although he works for the Criminal Justice Department, he is also a eunuch, not an outsider, so what is there to be shy about?

Wang Xifeng looked at it with a forced smile.

Wu Jin: Okay, I get it. You just can’t bear to see me sitting idle, so you force me to run this lap and get tired.

Go right away.
