The beautiful abandoned girl opened her eyes and she fought back with her medical skills

Concubine Lian took two steps back, "The Queen has such a vicious mind! Why did she do this?"

"Why?" Jiang Lan sneered, "It's because you are a member of the Lian family. Your Lian family has great achievements. If you give birth to a dragon, who knows who will be the crown prince in the future... The emperor is now over 40 years old, and the crown prince position is still vacant. No one can know what the emperor is thinking. It is still unknown who will be the crown prince..."

"But why is it me? Those women also gave birth to the emperor's sons, so why are they fine?" Lian Fei thought: If my child hadn't died, he would be ten years old now.

Hua Jianli was also curious, "Since the Queen wants to stop the women in the harem from having any thoughts, why can other women do the same?"

Jiang Lan sneered from the bottom of his chest, "Think carefully, what is the family background of any woman who gave birth to a prince? Will it hinder the queen's plan?"

Concubine Lian instantly thought, yes, all the concubines who gave birth to princes were either daughters of minor officials of the third or fourth rank, or from families without power. Concubines like her and Jiang Lan, who had strong backings, indeed could not give birth to dragon seeds.

Thinking hard.

Jiang Lan continued, "Even now the eldest and second princes can't escape the queen's clutches."

"The eldest prince, the second prince?" Hua Jianli was even less familiar with these two people.

Jiang Lan said, "When the emperor was still a prince, he had a wife who shared his joys and sorrows. After giving birth to two princes, she passed away. Then Wang Linglong came into the family and treated the two princes quite well. Later, with the support of the eldest princess, the emperor ascended the throne, and Wang Linglong naturally rose to prominence..."

Wang Linglong is the Queen’s maiden name. In the entire harem, Jiang Lan is probably the only one who can call her by her name.

"So, she took action against the emperor's eldest son?" Hua Jianli said.

Jiang Lan nodded. "Look at the eldest prince now. He is submissive and useless. He has been spoiled. Although the second prince has some talent, he is a cripple. Even if the other princes have some talent, they hide it and dare not show off in front of her... The queen has been planning for her sons for many years, but now, the fourth prince is still just the fourth prince. This shows that the emperor is still a little afraid of the queen..."

Although Jiang Lan was a noble concubine, she could not guess the emperor's thoughts.

Lian Fei narrowed her eyes and said angrily, "She has done so many bad things. This is God's punishment for her."

"So, can we unite and bring Wang down?" Jiang Lan extended an olive branch to the two.

Hua Jianli waved his hand, "This is a feud between you and the Queen. It has nothing to do with me."

She was not a member of the palace and did not participate in their struggle.

"Don't you want to avenge yourself?" Jiang Lan said to her.

"What grudge could there be between me and the Queen?" The worst that could happen is that Xuanyuan Jin had wronged the original owner, and she would avenge herself.

I won't go along with them.

Jiang Lan narrowed her eyes, "If the Queen hadn't conspired with your mother, you wouldn't be where you are today. Don't you hate her?"

"What do you want to say?" What grudge does this have to do with her mother?

"At the beginning, the Queen proposed your marriage with Xuanyuan Jin because your mother was the princess of Dayan. The Queen's original idea was to establish a connection with Dayan through this marriage, so as to consolidate her son's prestige in the court. Little did she know that she bet on the wrong horse. Dayan never sent anyone over in those years. Then your mother passed away, and there was no one from Dayan. At that time, the Queen wanted to cancel the engagement, but this was the order of the late emperor, and she could not control it, so she secretly had people suppress you..."

"Finally, he promised to let Hua Jin take the position."

Hua Jianli looked at Jiang Lan, and combined with Xuanyuan Jin's despicable thoughts, he said, "So... Xuanyuan Jin approached you for the military power of your Shangshu Mansion?"

Hua Tang has been the prime minister for many years and has many disciples. The prime minister's wife's family is a royal merchant family and their wealth cannot be underestimated.

If he marries Hua Jin, it would be equivalent to bringing Hua Tang's disciples under his command, and the wealth of the prime minister's mansion would also be in his pocket.

The only thing missing is military power.

And Shangshu Jiang is the person in charge of the Ministry of War.

Although Hua Jianli spoke directly, Jiang Lan had to admit that what she said was indeed true. Xuanyuan Jin was a man with his own ideas. He approached her, on the one hand, perhaps because of physical needs, and on the other hand, it might be related to her family's power. After all, she was the only woman in the Jiang family.

Now she is despised by Xuanyuan Jin, and the Jiang family has lost its power, which is a good opportunity for Xuanyuan Jin to kick her out.

Leaving them alone as orphans and a widow, she couldn't help but feel sad and unwilling to accept the fact.

Looking at her stroking her belly, Hua Jianli didn't understand why everyone thought this woman was pregnant when she was clearly not.

Is it her trick or a misunderstanding?

"Can you help me get out of the palace?" Jiang Lan suddenly said.

"What?" Hua Jianli and Lian Fei looked at each other.

"Are you crazy?" Concubine Lian spoke first, "You are the emperor's concubine. Even if you die, you can only die in the palace."

Hua Jianli saw through her thoughts and asked, "You want to see Xuanyuan Jin, right?"

The imperial concubine didn't say anything. She reached out her hand to feel her lower abdomen with a serious look on her face. From her expression, Hua Jianli already knew that Jiang Lan might not know whether she was really pregnant or not.

"I……"

"Although I have no way to let you leave the palace, if you want to see Xuanyuan Jin, I do have a way." Hua Jianli said.

"Do you have a way to get him into the palace?" Jiang Lan's eyes lit up.

"Of course, Xuanyuan Jin and I have already come clean and canceled the engagement. The emperor will invite him into the palace tomorrow. If you want to see him, it depends on your ability!"

"But what about tonight?" Concubine Lian interrupted, "The Queen has sent people to kill her, and she won't stop until she sees her body!"

"Is there a way?" Jiang Lan said, "There is an old woman's body inside, we can steal her and replace her with a new one..."

……

As soon as Qin Changge and Hua Jianli left the palace, the emperor ordered Haili to destroy the imperial edict.

He almost made a big mistake.

After Qin Changge's explanation, the emperor already knew that Minister Jiang was a court official supported by the princess and was a person loyal to the royal family. He also reminded him through Qin Changge not to cut off his own arm because of the instigation of a villain.

In fact, he was also pissed off by that woman Jiang Lan, and wanted to take this opportunity to teach Shangshu Mansion a lesson.

However, he could not have imagined that if the Shangshu Mansion collapsed, it would bring him so much trouble.

So he chose to make a big deal out of a small matter.

"Oysters!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Tomorrow, invite the Fourth Prince and the eldest daughter of the Hua family to the palace!" Xuanyuan Linyuan exhaled, "Let him bring the letter of withdrawal of engagement!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

-

The Queen waited and waited, but there was no news of Jiang Lan's death, nor the news of the Shangshu Mansion being demoted. She was so anxious that her hair turned white.

If the Minister of War falls, she will quickly arrange for her eldest brother's people to take his place. Now, the Ministry of Works is in Jin'er's hands. If they can also take over the Ministry of War, then how long will it take for the position of crown prince?

No, she has to tell her eldest brother about the situation here.

We have to send someone to the cold palace to see what's going on with Jiang Lan?
