"What do you have to say?" Concubine Dong E is not a person who expresses joy and anger.She was only momentarily surprised, but soon calmed down, at least on the surface.

Sang Zhi pursed her lips tightly, but felt troubled in her heart.Her performance just now was entirely the reason for throwing away all restraints and returning to herself. Now seeing Concubine Dong E like this, Sang Zhi knows that this time she has come back from the gate of hell.But what about after coming back?After all, she herself is a slave.

Sang Zhi turned around and looked at Concubine Dong E with a calm expression, "Madam, I have to tell you what I have to say to you alone."

Concubine Dong E hesitated for a moment, her eyes tightened, and she sat back firmly, "You all step back."

Not to mention Lanxiu, Lu Ying was shocked.She locked her eyes on Sang Zhi and remained silent for a long time.

But Sangzhi didn't dare to look back, even though she was aware of Green Warbler's attention.The most urgent task is to get over the hurdle in front of you first.There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Since she escaped, let's take every step well.

Finally, only Concubine Dong E and Sang Zhi remained in the huge inner hall of Chengqian Palace.

Sang Zhi cupped his hands to pay respects to the national soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is wise."

"I don't want to listen to flattery." Concubine Dong E got up and walked in front of her, "You'd better not play tricks, otherwise..."

Sang Zhi knew in his heart that he could no longer hide himself in front of Concubine Dong E, so he simply let go of his hands and feet, looked at Concubine Dong E calmly and said, "Mother, when this servant says you are wise, it is not flattery, but the truth."

Concubine Dong E sneered.

"The empress seems to be weak and invincible, but she is deeply favored by the emperor. She is the most favored by the six palaces and has power in the imperial court. This is one of the empress's wise points. But this is not the most wise point of the empress." Sang Zhi paused, "My lady, the most wise thing about you is that you know what to fight and what not to fight. When to fight and when not to fight. Your ability to judge the situation is beyond my generation."

Concubine Dong E narrowed her eyes, "Continue."

"If you go back to the empress, the servant girl came to Chengqian Palace not long ago, but before she came, she had already heard about the sageness of the empress, and she was deeply loved by the harem." Sang Zhi looked into the eyes of Concubine Dong E, "If a person is an eminent monk and celebrity, he is an eminent person in the world. People, or simply put, this person is not in a place like a harem, so no one will doubt this reputation. But, in this harem, 'benevolence' is the biggest lie."

Concubine Dong E's expression changed, "Presumptuous!"

Sang Zhi lowered her head slightly, "Is your empress still willing to listen?"

Concubine Dong E pondered for a long time, "I'd like to see what kind of treacherous nonsense you are talking about, girl." She turned around and returned to her seat, looking at Sang Zhi in a leisurely manner, "Tell me."

"I obey." Sang Zhi said, "Whether the kindness is a lie or not, but the maidservant believes that the empress has a kind heart. Just because the empress did not beat the slaveservant to death with a stick is enough proof."

"Heh," Concubine Dong E chuckled, "You do know yourself."

Sang Zhi raised his head slightly, and said in a soft voice, "I am aware of my identity, but, empress, do you know your identity?"

Concubine Dong E's face froze and she didn't speak.

"The empress's biggest worry now is not the emperor, let alone the empress, but the empress dowager and Prince Rong." Sang Zhi said in an affirmative tone, "the little empress is nothing to worry about, because she doesn't get the emperor's favor at all. If empress You sincerely want this post right now, presumably as long as you say a word, the emperor will support you no matter what. As long as you enter the middle palace, Prince Rong will be a legitimate son of the main palace, and he is the perfect candidate for the future owner."

Concubine Dong E shook her hand, knocked over the teacup, and shouted, "Shut up!"

"Why should your empress be afraid? There are only you and me here. If your empress doesn't even have the guts, then this servant advises your empress to get rid of this idea as soon as possible." Sang Zhi was neither humble nor overbearing.

Concubine Dong E's chest rose and fell in a little panic, and she looked at Sang Zhi with piercing eyes, "I have never had such a rebellious heart."

If not, then Concubine Dong E would not let her continue talking now.Sang Zhi looked at her quietly, and said again, "Unfortunately, your empress and the biggest opponent of the emperor are both the empress dowager."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Dong E didn't stop her.Sang Zhi sighed from the bottom of his heart, Concubine Dong E is not without the desire to become the master of the palace!

Thinking about it, what a smart person Concubine Dong E is!How could she not know the current situation of herself and Prince Rong?With her current favor, if one day the emperor lets go, it will be the hell time for her and Prince Rong.I'm afraid that not only their mother and son, but even the entire Dong'e clan will not end well.There are countless examples in history of this kind of favored end but not a good death.Concubine Dong E has come to this point, she has no choice but to go up, to climb to the highest point.If she retreated, she would not be the only one who died.

If she can't stand at the top of power, with the grievances she has accumulated today, the princes of other concubines will aspire to the dragon seat, how can she end well?Concubine Dong E knew this result very well.But what she knew better was that there was no rush.Although the empress dowager no longer manages the harem, the intricate forces within it should not be underestimated.Concubine Dong E is assisting the harem, and everything seems to be going smoothly, but she always vaguely feels that she is in the middle of the game, and there is an invisible hand silently playing the game.And who could this hand be?Except for the empress dowager who seems to care about nothing!

All she can do is wait.After all, the empress dowager is old, she and Prince Rong are still young, as long as the empress dowager passes away, the harem will have no power to stop her.She really had no choice.This is the inevitable result of her being favored. If she can't be the highest, she will only die even worse.

So she has to build a good reputation, she is virtuous and filial, and her relatives and friends in her family have never been proud of being favored, but have repeatedly made military exploits.For example, her elder brother has repeatedly won the first place on the battlefield.Her father holds a lot of power in his hands, but he is kind and kind.The Dong'e family has won a good reputation in the world.

All is ready except for the opportunity.Everything is nothing more than the time when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors and Wang Mang was humble.It's a pity that her body is weak, and after giving birth to Prince Rong, she still devoted herself to weighing the forces of all parties, thinking too much, which made her health worse.

To her relief, the empress dowager, who was always healthy, fell ill.When people get old, the biggest fear is getting sick.The elderly are no better than the young, and no matter how small their problems are, they are serious diseases that cannot be underestimated.But Dong E's family does have a kindness in her heart. Although she doesn't like the empress dowager, she is old and old, and Concubine Dong E is filial, so she really does her best when serving her for the sake of fame.

The palace people thought she was extremely filial, but Sang Zhi only thought it was funny.If she is really filial, the best choice for Concubine Dong E is not to hang out in front of the empress dowager.Obviously, the Empress Dowager doesn't like Concubine Dong E.It was Concubine Jing, the abandoned empress. Although she resented the empress dowager, she still had a little respect and love for the old man in her heart, so she never bothered her.The little queen is even more afraid of disturbing the elderly, so she seldom goes to serve.After all, there is a dedicated Aunt Su Ma around Xiaozhuang, and no one knows how to take care of the empress dowager better than La Aunt Su Ma.But this concubine Dong E not only waited on her, but also never abandoned her day and night.

This is everything, if it is overdone, there must be a difference.Sang Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he saw the empress dowager spitting on Concubine Dong E's face in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he realized it in his heart.Even if Concubine Dong E is really filial, the remaining nine points are probably just for show.Do it for the emperor, do it for the harem, do it for the world to see.

The meaning is clear—look at how virtuous and filial I am!The little queen hasn't been serving her for a few days, and I, Concubine Dong E, serve tea and water every day as a servant.

It was just as she wanted, now who in the world does not praise Concubine Dong E's virtuous and filial name!Even the emperor punished the empress for the crime of insincerity, and praised Concubine Dong E greatly.

But if Sang Zhi could understand these little tricks, wouldn't the Empress Dowager not understand them?Sangzhi thought in his heart, he must not look at the matter of the harem with his eyes.Nine times out of ten, what you see is fake, so you have to think with your heart.Unfortunately, there are too few people in the harem who can use their heart.People all over the world don't even bother to think about it. They believe whatever the court says.

Concubine Dong E stared at Sang Zhi, and Sang Zhi didn't hide, let her watch.It is Concubine Dong E who has a ghost in her heart, and Sang Zhi is not afraid of her watching.Finally, after a long silence, Concubine Dong E asked, "Who are you?"

"It's just a court lady who is used to the affairs of the harem." Sang Zhi said indifferently, "Your Majesty, aren't you tired of all the intrigues in the harem?"

Concubine Dong E was stunned, silent for a while, and said quietly, "I have no choice." After speaking, she was startled, surprised that she was carried away by Sang Zhi's emotions, she was a little nervous for a while, and asked Sang Zhi with a frown, "What do you want?" ?”

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Sangzhi said, "Your Majesty, this servant is willing to help your Majesty, but I just want to ask your Majesty for a promise when things are done."

Concubine Dong E's heart skipped a beat, "Say."

"The servant girl wants to get rid of her slave status and be promoted to be a bannerman." Sang Zhi raised her head slightly, "In addition, I want ten thousand taels of gold, and let me out of the palace."

Concubine Dong E was stunned, and smiled sarcastically, "You really dare to speak. Getting rid of slavery is already a great reward, and you still want to be promoted to a bannerman? That's not counting, but you actually opened your mouth like a lion and asked for ten thousand taels of gold." ?”

"Niang Niang," Sang Zhi said in a deep voice, "Ten thousand taels of gold plus the status of a free person, in exchange for the everlasting prosperity of you, Prince Rong, and even the Dong E clan, isn't it very cost-effective?"

Concubine Dong E shook her fingertips and looked at her sharply, "It's up to you?"

"At least, so far, I'm the only one who has guessed what the Empress Dowager is thinking." Sang Zhi said, "It is impossible for someone to achieve great things without a counselor. Do you, Empress, want to fight against the powerful Empress Dowager by yourself? I think your empress must not be such a fool."

Concubine Dong E's face turned pale when she choked on her, and she pretended to be tough, "But you want too much."

"Your Majesty is a knowledgeable person," Sang Zhi retorted, "If I am willing to do my best to plan for your Majesty, according to what the court said, I will be your Majesty's counselor. Your Majesty naturally knows that a good counselor is hard to find even if it costs ten thousand dollars. The empress dowager has more than one Lagu Su Ma who is capable of all means, but who is there for you, my lord? Now that I take the initiative to seek refuge, my lord, not only do you not treat me like a counselor, but you think I want more?"

Concubine Dong E's face turned red and turned white.She does have ideas, and she does know that talent is rare.But it never occurred to her that she could have a counselor herself.Women in the harem have always been short-sighted. They are nothing more than competing for favor and lusting after glory. How can few people think so far?Even Concubine Dong E herself, if not for what Sang Zhi said today, she wouldn't even know how weak she is.

How ridiculous, Concubine Dong E thought, she actually thought she could fight the Empress Dowager to a tie!It turned out that the empress dowager just didn't make a move.Otherwise, with the empress dowager's strategy and connections, crushing her to death would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Concubine Dong E's heart was cold, and she felt more and more precarious.She got up and walked to Sangzhi, "If you can really do what you said, I will definitely do what you want, and I will never break my promise."

"Thank you, ma'am." Sang Zhi cupped his hands to thank her, and never knelt down to salute her from the beginning to the end.However, in her heart, there was a faint sigh.Concubine Dong E, Concubine Dong E, even if I really want to help you, it's a pity that God won't help you!Do you know that your time is near, and you are still trying your best to plan other things?

Sang Zhi lowered her eyes, all she said was just to make Concubine Dong E believe her.Only when Concubine Dong E trusts her and reuses her, can she go to Kunning Palace, and the sooner the better.

She persuaded Concubine Dong E, but she didn't know that Su Le was suffering a catastrophe.

Because Concubine Dong E was wronged in the Compassionate Ning Palace, Emperor Shunzhi was angry and did not dare to trouble the Queen Mother. After thinking about it, wouldn't the Queen under house arrest in the middle palace be the best target to vent her anger on?
