The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1627

Chapter 1627: 783 Palace Battle King (first update)

After Shangguan Yun finished the task, she crawled out of the dog hole in the Cold Palace and met with Gu Chengfeng who had been waiting for a long time.

The noise of riding horses or carriages is too loud; lightness skill is the best choice for night operations.

Gu Chengfeng used his lightness skill to bring Shangguan Yun back to the National Master Hall.

Gu Jiao, her great aunt, and great uncle had been waiting in Gu Jiao’s room for a long time, and Xiao Hen had also come back from house hunting.

Little Jingkong was clean and sleeping soundly on the bedchamber.

After entering the room, Gu Jiao first went behind the screen to check Shangguan Yun’s injuries.

Shangguan Yun’s spine underwent a percutaneous pedicle screw fixation surgery, although the best medicine was used and the recovery was good, it was still quite strenuous to do such laborious tasks.

"I’m fine." Shangguan Yun patted her armor, "This thing saves a lot of effort."

Gu Jiao took off the armor and checked her wounds; the stitches were not even slightly red or swollen.

"Do you have any other discomfort?" Gu Jiao asked.

"No."

Just a bit tired.

Shangguan Yun didn’t mention that.

Everyone was sacrificing everything for the common cause, a bit of tiredness and pain was nothing.

It’s all worth it.

Shangguan Yun wanted to put the armor back on but was stopped by Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said, "You should go back to your room and rest now, you shouldn’t sit or stand anymore."

"I want to listen." Shangguan Yun refused to leave.

She wanted to join the fun.

She had a lively nature, and after being locked in the Imperial Mausoleum for so many years, she hadn’t felt this much at home for a long time.

She wanted to be with everyone.

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Then squeeze in with Little Jingkong for now, after we finish talking, Ahen will send you back to your room. However, be careful that he doesn’t kick you."

Little Jingkong’s sleeping posture was quite enigmatic, sometimes he was as quiet as a silkworm baby, sometimes like a little destructive king.

"Got it!" She at least had some skills!

Shangguan Yun lay down on the bed behind the screen, and Gu Jiao put down the curtains for her.

She spoke about delivering the little people in the Imperial Palace from behind the curtains.

Although Gu Chengfeng knew the plan beforehand, hearing the entire process still made him feel that this operation was incredibly clever.

Those concubines probably never dreamed that Shangguan Yun told the same lines to each of them, right?

And she even wrote it down as evidence, how sincere and trustworthy!

"But, will they really fall for it?" Gu Chengfeng was worried that those people might retreat at the last minute or sense something was wrong.

Great Aunt said calmly, "They are wary of each other and won’t communicate, so there’s no chance of exposure. As for falling for it... after casting such a wide net, there will always be some fish caught. Besides, the temptation of the rear position is too great."

The position of Empress Xiao in Zhan Country is stable, and the Crown Prince has the support of Xuanping Marquis, so there’s almost no possibility of upheaval, thus the imperial power remains stable.

Gu Chengfeng realized only upon coming to Dayan that an Imperial Harem could be full of so much bloodshed: "I still don’t understand one thing, it’s understandable that Concubine Wang and Chen Zhaoyi are tempted, since they don’t have any princes under their knees, helping the Third Princess ascend is the best way to consolidate their power. But don’t the other three all have grown princes?"

Xiao Hen said, "First support Shangguan Yun to ascend, then use Shangguan Yun to get to the rear position, and then find an opportunity to depose Shangguan Yun. As empresses, their sons would be legitimate heirs, inheriting the throne rightfully."

Grand Empress Dowager nodded, "That’s exactly the logic."

Gu Chengfeng was stunned and enlightened, "So, it’s still mutual exploitation."

There are no simple women in the Imperial Harem; it’s about who can live longer, depending on who has deeper thoughts.

Grand Empress Dowager yawned, "Alright, go to sleep, the next steps are up to them; how to do it and whether it can succeed are all their worries."

"Okay." Gu Jiao stood up, started to clean the table, preparing to go to bed.

"Then I’ll come over again tomorrow." Xiao Hen said softly to her.

Gu Jiao nodded and smiled, "See you tomorrow."

The old sacrificial wine also got up from his seat, "This old man is also tired, I’m heading back to rest."

Gu Chengfeng looked at everyone leaving one by one with a confused face.

What, you all just leave like this?

Not worried at all?

Such big hearts?

Gu Jiao said, "Great Aunt, you sleep first, I’m going over to Gu Changqing’s place tonight."

Grand Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Got it, you go ahead."

Gu Chengfeng was deeply self-doubting, "Is it me or you all that’s being strange?"

"Enough talking about this." Consort Wang glanced at the document on the table. It not only had their transaction but also their signatures and seals. This was a covert deal. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Consort Wang launched her plan.

She asked Liu Mama to find the pawn placed in Guiyi Palace, who, like Little Lizi, had been an undercover agent for many years.

Concubine Han always thought she was the smartest, but sometimes the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and there’s always one mountain higher than another.

However, Concubine Han was extremely cautious, even after many years, the pawn still couldn’t gain her complete trust.

But this kind of thing didn’t need to be her closest confidant to accomplish.

"Do you understand My Lady’s instructions?" Behind the rockery, Liu Mama handed him the long silk box from her wide sleeves.

The eunuch received it, stuffed it back into his sleeve, and whispered, "My Lady, please rest assured; I will definitely handle this! Afterward, please treat my family kindly!"

Liu Mama said solemnly, "Don’t worry, My Lady will."

The eunuch cautiously looked around and carefully returned to Guiyi Palace.

Elsewhere, Dong Chenfei and others also began their actions.

Dong Chenfei didn’t have undercover agents in Guiyi Palace, but the information controlled by the Dong Family was no less than that in Consort Wang’s hands.

She contacted the Dong Family and borrowed a master from them.

The female guard accompanying the master said, "The family head said there is a very formidable advisor around Concubine Han; we need to avoid him."

Dong Chenfei sneered, "Is she so unrestrained? Letting an outsider enter her bedchamber!"

The female guard said, "That person is not often in the palace, only coming when there are matters to discuss with Concubine Han."

Dong Chenfei said indifferently, "Alright, you handle it yourselves. I don’t care what method you use; just make sure to place this thing in the Han Family’s bedchamber!"

-

On the first day, there was no news from the Imperial Palace.

On the second day, there was still no news from the Imperial Palace.

Gu Chengfeng couldn’t stand it anymore. At night, he secretly sneaked into the National Master Hall and couldn’t help but ask Gu Jiao, "Do you think they’ve acted? Why is there no news yet?"

They definitely acted; whether they succeeded depended on their abilities.

An old saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes," roughly the idea.

On the fourth day, the monarch accompanied the Little Princesses to the National Master Hall to visit Xiao Hen and Shangguan Yun.

Just as they sat down, Zhang Dequan came over in panic, "Your Majesty! There’s trouble in the palace!"
