After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

After an unknown amount of silence, Shen Qiuyun finally came back to her senses from her shock.

Her face was still flushed and she smelled of alcohol, but her eyes as she looked at Jiang Wansang were clear without a trace of drunkenness.

"You want me to compete with my brother for that position?"

She admitted that she had revealed her vulnerable side tonight because of the assassination, and she also admitted that she was moved by Jiang Wansang's words, but she was not an impulsive fool.

Jiang Wansang came to her in the middle of the night and suddenly told her some story about the queen. She didn't think that this was just her kind words of comfort.

Jiang Wansang raised her eyebrows but did not deny her words.

When she told Shen Qiuyun the story of Wu Zetian, she did have this in mind, and there is no denying that.

If Shen Qiuyun is willing, then they will be closer allies, and they will naturally be honest with each other.

If Shen Qiuyun is unwilling, then they will continue with their previous cooperative relationship, and there will be no loss for her.

Shen Qiuyun is a smart person, so she naturally understood what she didn't say.

It is undeniable that she was really moved.

After an unknown amount of silence, Shen Qiuyun finally spoke again: "If this princess really wants to compete for that position, would Miss Jiang be willing to help?"

In fact, she didn't know how Jiang Wansang could help her.

Based on what she had seen and heard in Nansu Kingdom during this period, she could see that Jiang Wansang was facing a lot of trouble in the imperial city. On the surface, it even seemed that she was still relying on Pei Zhanzhou's power everywhere, not to mention helping her fight for that position in Beisheng.

But she had a hunch that if she really wanted to grab that position, Jiang Wansang could really help her.

Jiang Wansang understood that her words meant that she wanted to fight for it, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

She poured a glass of wine for herself and Shen Qiuyun, then raised her glass and said, "If the Third Princess doesn't mind, I'm willing to do my best."

Shen Qiuyun hesitated for only a moment before picking up her glass and gently clinking it with hers.

The smile in Jiang Wansang's eyes deepened.

It seems that she needs to speed up the pace of building her own power.

Jiang Wansang was a man of action. The next day, he made a plan and went to the National Master's Mansion to find Pei Zhanzhou and asked about the black market.

The black market is a place where all kinds of people mix together and anything can happen. Of course, she has to make a detailed understanding before taking action.

Pei Zhanzhou had long known that she was planning to go to the black market. Although he didn't know what she was going to do, he didn't ask much and told her everything he knew.

There are black markets everywhere, and most of these secret transactions are interconnected. The black market in the imperial city is the hub connecting other black markets, and it is also the place with the most mixed crowds.

Jiang Wansang listened carefully to Pei Zhanzhou's explanation, and what she focused on was that someone would post a task of "paying money to buy life" on the black market.

"So, most of the missions that the assassin organizations in the underworld can't take on will flow into the black market?"

Pei Zhanzhou nodded, vaguely feeling that her question was a bit strange.

Why is she so concerned about the killer organization?

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Zhanzhou spoke: "When do you plan to go to the black market?"

"Tonight." Jiang Wansang answered quickly, obviously not wanting to waste time.

Noticing that she seemed a little hurried, Pei Zhanzhou frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Wansang had originally planned to leave immediately, but after hearing what he said, she changed her mind for some reason.

She did not hide the fact that she was planning to cooperate with Shen Qiuyun, because there was no need to hide it, and maybe Pei Zhanzhou could also help.

Hearing her say that she would support Shen Qiuyun to compete for that position, even Pei Zhanzhou couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

Only this woman could think of such an idea, which is considered to be extremely rebellious and unprecedented in the eyes of the world, and dare to say it so blatantly.

Pei Zhanzhou looked at the calm person in front of him, and for some reason an impulsive idea suddenly came to his mind.

He asked tentatively: "Have you ever thought about taking that position?"

If there is... whether it is Bei Sheng or Nan Su, they are both within his plan.

Jiang Wansang was stunned by his question and looked up at him in confusion, "I'm not a fool, why would I sit in that seat so desperately?"

She rolled her eyes. "If you're good at being an emperor, you'll have endless government affairs to deal with every day. You'll shoulder the responsibility of the entire empire, and you'll have to deal with the schemes and intrigues of the imperial court and the imperial harem. If you're bad at being an emperor, you'll have to bear the world's infamy, be wary of being stabbed in the back, and constantly be on guard against someone taking your life."

In her knowledge, no emperor in all dynasties lived long.

It seemed like Pei Zhanzhou was hearing such a statement for the first time. He stood there in a daze, and a confused look appeared on his handsome face for the first time.

That look was exactly the same as the one Shen Qiuyun had last night when she heard that women could also **.

Everyone wants to be emperor, and some people plan their entire lives for that position, but in her mouth, that position becomes a hot potato.

And if you think about it, what she said seems to make sense.

Jiang Wansang looked at him suspiciously, and raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering what was going on. "You don't... want to sit in that seat, do you?"

She never knew the specific purpose of Pei Zhanzhou's planning, but he had grudges against both the Beisheng Royal Family and the Nansu Royal Family, and it was most likely related to the struggle for the throne.

It seems that Pei Zhanzhou wants to take in both Bei Sheng and Nan Su, but after knowing them for so long, Jiang Wansang feels that he is not the kind of person who has such great ambitions for power.

Sure enough, Pei Zhanzhou shook his head.

Whether it was Bei Sheng or Nan Su, he never had any idea about that position. It was just for revenge, so everything he planned had to go in that direction.

Pei Zhanzhou didn't seem to want to bring up those bad memories, so he changed the subject. "The situation in the black market is very complicated. I'll go with you."

Jiang Wansang noticed the emotional fluctuation he revealed at that moment and vaguely guessed that it was related to the topic they had just discussed.

She didn't ask any more questions, nor did she refuse his intention to go along.

It was certainly a good thing for her that Pei Zhanzhou could go to the black market with her.

That night, Jiang Wansang and Pei Zhanzhou took Jiang Yi, put on black robes, and went to the black market.

The so-called black market is actually just a few alleys in the imperial city.

Because of its remote location and distance from the government office, the residents are basically all kinds of people, and the streets and alleys are complicated and intertwined, so a black market gradually formed.

There are many people like Jiang Wansang and the other two who are fully armed and have strange whereabouts, so no one thinks their appearance is strange.

Pei Zhanzhou obviously knew something about the black market, and he brought Jiang Wansang to the door of a dilapidated pharmacy with ease.

The door of the pharmacy was only half broken, and the word "medicine" could be vaguely seen on the plaque above it. Although the furnishings in the room were no different from those of an ordinary pharmacy, the things looked very shabby.
