One thousand five hundred and fifty-five: Concubine Shu...

Now subtract 520, leaving 237.

After the skill was activated, it was incorporated into the fighting skill specialization, [Yin Yang Wheel (0/30)]. He had deliberately saved 27* skill points before, but he invested all of them into it, and he was only three levels short of reaching the full level.

Click...

A few hours later.

Yan Wan suddenly opened his eyes. The sharp light flashed away, and the temperature in the room dropped suddenly. There was an inexplicable roar of swords, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears.

Then, the sharp aura gradually subsided, and in no more than a moment, Yan Wan seemed to be a different person, and his previous sharp-edged aura disappeared.

Instead, there was an ethereal aura that was visible but intangible, and as he moved, this aura became weaker and weaker. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have noticed that there was anyone in this room.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high...don't kill anyone."

Yan Wan hummed and made a mistake with his foot. Like a wandering spirit, a wisp of light flew out of the window and disappeared.

The walls of the palace were not low, but for him, it was no different than crossing the threshold. The soul power spread, distorting the vision of the imperial army, and he entered the palace with great swagger.

Where is Concubine Shu?

In Changning Palace.

Yan Wan followed the tune and hurried there erratically in the night.

Although the palace was very large, Yan Wan's steps were not slow and he reached the place in less than half a moment.

Looking at this luxurious palace, he hesitated for a moment and finally did not choose to approach it. Instead, he looked around, came to the next door palace, walked to the back of the palace, and floated into the ancient well.

It wasn't until he was more than a hundred meters underground that Yan Wan could no longer stop. His soul power condensed like a sword, and he dug a tunnel like cutting tofu and sneaked in the direction of Changning Palace.

Suddenly.

Yan Wan made a move, his flat brows gradually furrowed, and his soul power responded, in front of him was... magic pattern iron.

He was lucky. He touched this thing rashly but was not noticed. It should be because the magic pattern formation had not been activated, otherwise it would be a disaster.

"Damn, you guys are so cruel."

Yan Huan recalled something that happened a long time ago. Not long after the demons appeared, there was a kind of iron stone that could give them stronger blessings and make the magic patterns more powerful.

Fortunately, they were discovered early and there were not many of these iron stones, so the imperial court called on warriors from all over the world to collect these objects and hand them over to the Zhenwu Pavilion so that they could be destroyed.

Now it seems that... it was not destroyed at all, but was quietly preserved, and such a huge thing was built under the palace.

Don't act rashly.

Yan Wan pushed aside the earth and gravel around him and raised his eyes to look at the iron stone wall in front of him with a faint black mist. There were magic lines on it. He felt an indescribable dizziness when he took a closer look.

It was very similar to the magic pattern on the city wall they saw when they broke out of the siege in Qingzhou, but compared with the one in front of them, it was a lot lower.

"I don't believe you made this place airtight." Yan Wang cursed secretly, stepped down, and went deep into the ground again, trying to find a gap.

Half an hour of gopher travel.

Yan Wan glared at him in disgrace, with a look of despair on his face: "You guys are really awesome. You made it into an iron box by force. I'm afraid the entrance is only in Changning Palace, right?"

What made him most uncomfortable was that the iron box was not entirely made of magic-patterned iron. Instead, the magic-patterned iron was crushed into powder and mixed with other materials.

After all, the quantity of this thing is limited and it cannot be tempered and then cast. Otherwise, the place cannot be so big. However, even if this is the case, the overall transmission is much weakened, but the most basic transmission power is still there.

Yan Wan didn't understand this, so he didn't dare to make a cut easily because he didn't know if it would trigger the formation warning.

"Since I can't get in, I'll let you out." Yan Wan decisively withdrew and retreated. Although he didn't go in to see the truth this time, he didn't gain anything.

——

After returning.

Yan Huanzhuang started to deal with the affairs of Zhenwu Pavilion as if nothing happened.

He is waiting for an opportunity.

There are many daily activities in the imperial court, including monthly fixed court meetings, certain festival activities, hunting dinners...

But these things affect the emperor at most.

For example, going to a hunting ground for hunting was a way of talking between the emperor, the generals, and the Zhenwu Pavilion. Or throwing a big banquet, which is a way to discuss matters with civil servants.

These things have nothing to do with the concubines in the harem, and according to Yan Wang's understanding, every year when the emperor went to a mountain villa outside Beijing to escape the summer, he would often bring several concubines with him.

This is an opportunity.

In addition to this is the New Year's Eve banquet. After chatting and laughing with the officials, there will be a private banquet held in the palace soon. As the biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Shu is not a marginal figure, so of course she has to participate.

However, compared to the former, the latter is obviously shorter and more dangerous.

"There are so many concubines, who knows who the emperor will take with him this time." Yan Wan felt a little headache. If he wanted to achieve what he wanted, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.

After a few days, after Yan Wang roughly figured out the context, he gradually began to lay out the plan.

"Yan Wan is here?" The second prince glanced at Zhao Yanran and nodded to indicate that he should be brought here.

Since that incident, or since Yan Wang took the seat of Zhenwu Pavilion, the connection between the two has been broken for a while. It is not that Yan Wang is rebellious and ready to burn bridges, but that he must avoid suspicion.

This is for the emperor to see.

Although the emperor also knew that Yan Wan belonged to the second prince and was promoted to him by the second prince.

But even though this was clearly the case, Yan Wang and the others still had to make an irrelevant gesture.

This is called an attitude issue.

The emperor asked Yan Wan to sit in this seat, which was also a test for him.

But it's obvious that Yan Wanqi knows how to measure things and understands the overall situation better. Although it is inevitable that the second prince intervened in all kinds of things, he is where he is today.

But Yan Wan would report and discuss with the emperor first no matter what he did or what he did. The most important thing was to put the court first. This attitude was what the emperor wanted.

The emperor does not mind the competition between his sons, but all prerequisites must be placed behind the court.

It doesn't matter whether you support the boss or the second child. In order to secure their position, they must understand the big issues of right and wrong, otherwise the emperor would not mind a pardon for them.

Now that the limelight is gradually passing, Yan Wang comes to ask for a meeting, probably because of something important.

"Sit." The second prince pointed to the seat opposite.

Yan Wan pursed his lips and said softly: "The Holy Emperor will leave Beijing soon to escape the summer heat."

The second prince's hand when pouring wine trembled slightly, then returned to normal in a blink of an eye. He pushed the wine glass in front of Yan Wan without haste, and then nodded: "Yes, my father is going to spend three months away from the summer heat."

Yan smiled wildly: "The person who will supervise the country this time should be the third prince."

In the past three months, the eldest prince and the second prince took turns, with the emperor watching to see who did better. Now that the third prince has gotten involved, the emperor doesn't mind giving him a chance.

This also means that what was supposed to be the second prince's turn will become the third prince this year.

The most important thing is that now that the boss and the third child are on the same line, they will inevitably cause some trouble.

The second prince asked, "So what?"

He was confident that he could survive the past three months after fighting the boss for so long.

"Driving away wolves and devouring tigers." Yan Huan meant something, but he didn't say it clearly.

The second prince understood, and his gentle expression inevitably changed. His eyes dimmed, and he twisted his eyebrows to think about the possibilities.

Wolf is the third prince.

Tiger is the second prince.

And the person who drives the wolf away is undoubtedly the eldest prince.

There is no doubt that the third prince is no match for the eldest prince, so even if the third prince supervises the country, he will actually be indirectly affected by the eldest prince.

With the third prince as a shield, the eldest prince will definitely use tricks that he did not dare to use in the past. After all, it is the third prince who takes the responsibility in the end, right?

The second prince thought for a moment, frowned, smiled and said, "But the third brother will not let it be driven, he... haha."

Yan Wang's words were vague: "This was naturally the case in the past, but it is different now. They have a common enemy..."

"I see."

"Your Majesty, I think deeply about it and take my leave." Yan Wan didn't stay any longer.

The second prince looked at his departing back and couldn't help rubbing the wine glass with his fingertips. His expression was extremely solemn: "Come, get ready. I want to go to the palace to meet my father."

"Success or failure depends on this move." Yan Wan walked out of here and exhaled softly.

——

As Yan Wang said, how should the second prince respond?

It's not a bad idea to follow the routine to find out the tricks, but with the addition of the third prince, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaaoshuyuan.com, everything becomes complicated and confusing.

Furthermore, think about what the second prince said.

The countermeasures are ready to come out.

Since the third child sided with the eldest prince because of the second prince, he should avoid his sharpness this time. In the absence of enemies, the third prince would turn his attention to supervising the country.

He must use this incident to establish his own image, improve his own value, and attract the attention of other forces, so that he can initially expand his power when the second prince retreats.

but.

On the other hand, the eldest prince already has his rival as the second child, and will never allow the threat of the third child to appear again. Therefore, during the period when the second prince leaves the capital, he will definitely target the third prince and try his best to suppress him.

If you want to leave Beijing, you must find a good excuse. Going out with the emperor was too blunt an excuse, and the person didn't need the second prince to take care of him.

So... Concubine Shu!

If the emperor takes Concubine Shu away from the capital to escape the summer heat, the second prince can follow him in an open and honest manner on the grounds of accompanying his mother, thereby achieving the purpose of watching the fire from the other side.

On the other hand, Yan Wang's goal will be achieved.

This is... a plan that can accomplish many things with one stone.

The essence of his strategy is nothing more than the four words "I can't help myself".

For the sake of his own ambition, the third prince had no choice but to brace himself up to resist the oppression of his boss and deal with the three months of supervision, even though he knew that the second prince was watching from the other side.

In order to avoid having too many opponents, the eldest prince had no choice but to turn his spear and target the third prince to nip it in the bud, knowing that the second prince was watching from the other side.

And, if so.

So in order to prevent the two sons from fighting too much, the emperor must appoint a person with high power and position to stabilize the situation in the court. This person used to be the chief elephant of the Zhenwu Pavilion.
