Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Is it possible that when I do something, I have to come and tell you in advance?"

Liao Yunchuan asked back unhurriedly. After hearing this, Yang Fei immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything else for a while.

That's all, let the boss do whatever he likes. Things between the two of them are not something that an outsider can interfere with.

Royal Palace.

Jiang Lianzhu held the token in her hand and entered without any obstruction.

She found Concubine Xi's bedroom very smoothly according to her previous memories.

Concubine Xi was sitting in the courtyard copying scriptures. She was not surprised at all when she saw Jiang Lianzhu coming: "Miss Jiang is really in a good mood this time. You came directly before I even asked you."

"I am also anxious and want to discuss countermeasures with the Queen. If I can succeed... I should be able to calm the Prime Minister for a while."

Jiang Lianzhu said unhurriedly, walked over to Concubine Xi and sat down opposite her.

There are only two of them in the yard now, and there is a nanny who is doing nothing at the side, so there is no need to follow the set of rules outside.

"If the countermeasures you mentioned are really that useful, then of course I won't mind cooperating with you."

Concubine Xi's eyes flashed with interest.

"You might as well come and listen to me first."

When Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she told everything she and Liao Yunchuan had planned.

"We plan to take action during the sacrifice in the palace. If the third prince suddenly falls ill at that time, and the disease can only be cured by the Seven-Aperture Grass, His Majesty will naturally not be stingy about taking out the Seven-Aperture Grass."

"What's more, there is no way to interrupt the sacrifice. When the time comes, the Seven-Aperture Grass will not pass through His Majesty's hands. In this way, the Seven-Aperture Grass can be used in name without anyone noticing."

Jiang Lianzhu said slowly.

This is already the most complete countermeasure the two of them can come up with.

As long as Concubine Xi is willing to cooperate with them, this matter can naturally be solved.

"Tsk, in my opinion, you just want to use my hand to help you hide the matter of Qiqiaocao, and even put the third prince in danger. Why do you think that I am so kind?"

Concubine Xi explained their thoughts in a leisurely manner, and the expression on Jiang Lianzhu's face did not change at all, and even became a little more confident.

"Your Majesty will definitely help us. After all, apart from this opportunity, is there any other opportunity to seriously attack the Prime Minister?"

she said lightly.

"The daughter of the people naturally knows that my mother's family is powerful, but behind the prime minister is the Huo family. The power that the Huo family has accumulated in the court over the past few generations is not something we can simply estimate."

Jiang Lianzhu's words directly touched Concubine Xi's pain point. Even though she wanted to continue to pretend to be calm, she was helpless.

What Jiang Lianzhu said was so accurate. She should have done a thorough investigation before coming here, otherwise she would not be able to understand the affairs of the imperial court so clearly.

Concubine Xi pursed her lips inaudibly and casually put the brush in her hand aside: "This matter is indeed right for you, and I am willing to help you."

She agreed to cooperate immediately.

Jiang Lianzhu thought she might have to grind hard for a while, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

Concubine Xi is really resolute and resolute.

"It's just that if you let the third child pretend to be sick, it won't work without some external help. All the doctors in this hospital are human beings and can diagnose it."

She said immediately and stretched out her hand to Jiang Lianzhu: "Miss Jiang's medical skills are great, she should be able to get the medicine I want."

"nature."

Jiang Lianzhu handed a porcelain bottle in her sleeve to Concubine Xi.

"Your Majesty only needs to give the third prince this medicine to take. It doesn't require any disguise at all, and it can make the person's pulse look like he is not going to die soon."

"However, people who take the medicine will also suffer for a while. Since the empress has promised to cooperate with us, she should not be soft-hearted at this time."

Jiang Lianzhu reminded her in a low voice. The meaning in her words was very obvious, and she didn't want Concubine Xi to go back on her words at this time.

The look on Concubine Xi's face was calm: "Don't worry, I can still tell the importance of these things, so I won't let you down."

Jiang Lianzhu said a few more goodbyes to him before leaving Concubine Xi's bedroom.

Concubine Xi played with the porcelain bottle in her hand, a somewhat complicated look flashed across her eyes, and then she put the porcelain bottle into her sleeve as if she suddenly decided something.

"Your Majesty, would it be inappropriate for us to take risks with the Third Prince like this? What if something really happens to the Third Prince, then——"

"Don't be so talkative here, of course nothing will happen to the third child."

Concubine Xi glared at Mammy who had just spoken, her tone was extremely firm.

"If we don't give up something at this time, then we shouldn't think about being able to bring down the Prime Minister in the next life."

After Jiang Lianzhu left Concubine Xi's bedroom, she was about to leave the palace. She hung the token on her waist. The maids who came and went did not even dare to raise their heads when they saw her. They only dared to whisper after passing people. .

"Who is the girl who just walked by? How come I have never seen her in the palace before?"

"Who knows where it comes from... But as long as you see the token hanging on her waist, it will be fine. This thing is a reward from His Majesty. I'm afraid that person's status will not be low."

"That's right, don't talk nonsense here. There are still a lot of big things like the sacrifice waiting for us to do. If we can't do it well, we will have to be scolded by grandma again."

Several maids gathered together to discuss in a low voice, and immediately walked away quickly after speaking.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. When she was about to walk out of the palace, she saw the Prime Minister's carriage.

He walked down from the carriage, looked at Jiang Lianzhu, and said meaningfully: "It seems that Miss Jiang is also very interested in this sacrificial ceremony, and even asked for the palace token in Liao Yunchuan's hand. ”

The prime minister said calmly, his eyes falling on the token hanging on Jiang Lianzhu's waist.

"This thing is not something you can lend to others casually."

"Prime Minister, you are just joking. I came to the palace this time to find Empress Xi. After all, the reputation of my beauty salon is well-known to everyone. It is normal for the empress to be a little curious."
