Yang Zhao was also a little absent-minded.
He was also brimming with the desire for power, or else he wouldn't have entered the capital. He didn't mind getting involved in the War of the Princes, but Consort Tai Zhen didn't like others mentioning the matters of the Imperial Palace in front of him, so Yang Zhao had never brought them up.
As time passed, he began to feel that it was nothing.
Recently, he'd been riding the crest of success, and he'd been commanding the world, causing him to completely forget about those things. But Wang Chong's words suddenly reminded him.
Just as Wang Chong had said, there were some matters that even if one didn't pay attention to them and didn't get involved, they would eventually appear in front of one.
It would have been fine if it was just a normal matter, but if the War of the Princes involved Consort Tai Zhen, then it would affect his future.
"Little Sister, although I also feel that the War of the Princes is no small matter and that we shouldn't get involved lightly, my sworn brother's words aren't without reason. But my sworn brother's words aren't without reason. It's impossible to completely stay out of it. Perhaps we should seriously consider this matter and discuss it before deciding what to do? "
Yang Zhao suddenly turned around and said.
Let alone Consort Tai Zhen, even Wang Chong was surprised by these words. After all, if Yang Zhao were to speak, the effect would be much greater.
After all, they were cousins, and their relationship was much closer than his own.
His words, which he had originally intended to use to convince Consort Tai Zhen, had moved Yang Zhao, an unexpected gain.
As expected, upon hearing Yang Zhao's words, Consort Tai Zhen finally showed some interest. In the capital, the person she relied on the most was this cousin of hers.
"Big Brother, the matters of the Imperial Palace are difficult to explain, and it's not something you can understand."
Consort Tai Zhen had a scoundrel look on her face, her attitude much softer than before.
"In addition, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a convention. His Majesty also doesn't like women in the harem to interfere too much. If I interfere too much, I'm afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy. Furthermore, I really can't see how my situation will benefit if I help the Fifth Prince. "
The first few sentences were directed at Yang Zhao, but the last few sentences were directed at Wang Chong.
"Hahaha!"
When Wang Chong heard this, he laughed.
"Your Highness, isn't it obvious? Among all the princes in the imperial harem, only the Fifth Prince was like the Concubine. They were both innocent people without the slightest background. In the palace, no one helped him. He doesn't have any concubines or concubines behind him. "
"Among all the princes in the imperial harem, only the Fifth Prince is someone that Your Highness can truly win over. As long as Your Highness treats the Fifth Prince well, the Fifth Prince, who has no background, will definitely rely on Your Highness and will never have any intention of betraying you. Furthermore, Your Highness is currently alone in the palace. If you have the Fifth Prince's help, you will be able to pose a threat to the other princes and Your Highness, making them even more reluctant to act rashly. "
"More importantly, in the future, if the Fifth Prince ascends to the throne, he will definitely be deeply grateful to Your Highness. Even if Your Highness's status in the future can't be compared to that of the First Lady, I'm afraid that it won't be much worse. Of course, if Your Highness has other plans, such as preparing to conceive a dragon and give birth to a true dragon to ascend to the Purple Pole Realm in the future, that will be a different matter. Just pretend that Wang Chong didn't say anything. "
As he spoke, Wang Chong lowered his head.
Consort Tai Zhen was listening attentively at the beginning, but when she heard the latter part of Wang Chong's words, she couldn't help but burst into laughter at Wang Chong's words.
"Little thing, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if I conceive His Majesty's dragon, it will be at least eighteen years before he grows up. By that time, the War of the Princes will have long been settled. What other plans would there be? "
Consort Tai Zhen's smile suddenly lost its previous sharpness. That charming smile was like ten thousand flowers blooming at once, bright and moving. Even Wang Chong was slightly dazed.
And the atmosphere in the great hall also became much warmer with Consort Tai Zhen's smile.
Although Consort Tai Zhen's smile was hearty, Wang Chong could still sense a trace of regret in it. If she wanted to take root in this palace filled with open strife and veiled strife, the best way was to conceive a dragon's son.
But Consort Tai Zhen had only just entered the dragon stage, while the other princes of the Holy Emperor had long since come of age. Even if she had any ideas, it was already too late.
This was something that couldn't be changed no matter what. To Consort Tai Zhen, it was a pity.
Wang Chong naturally understood this, so he wisely didn't continue the topic.
"Wang Chong, can you tell me why you think so highly of the Fifth Prince?"
After Consort Tai Zhen stopped laughing, she returned to normal. She looked at Wang Chong from the side with a meaningful gaze.
"Your First Uncle supports the First Prince, this is something that everyone knows. You clearly know this, but you still want me to support the Fifth Prince. What is your Wang Clan doing? Or rather, are you trying to go against your uncle? "
"Furthermore, there are rumors that the Fifth Prince met a mysterious expert recently, who helped him cleanse his body and gave him the ability to cultivate martial arts again, allowing him to do the impossible. If I'm not wrong, the mysterious person behind the Fifth Prince probably has something to do with you, right? "
As she said this, her eyes blinked, revealing a slight sharpness. It was as if she wanted to peer into the depths of Wang Chong's heart.
Wang Chong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Right now, most of the princes and concubines in the royal palace were guessing why the Fifth Prince had suddenly been reborn and could cultivate martial arts. They were also investigating the mysterious person behind him.
If others were to find out that he was behind this, the entire Wang Clan would probably be viewed as an enemy by all the princes, concubines, and concubines in the royal palace.
Therefore, he tried his best to avoid meeting the Fifth Prince in public, lest others find out.
When he met Consort Tai Zhen, he also tried his best to avoid talking about his relationship with the Fifth Prince. However, Consort Tai Zhen was clearly not as simple as the outside world thought, and she was definitely not someone who could be fooled easily.
Wang Chong didn't even mention this point, but Consort Tai Zhen had already guessed the truth behind it.
"Yes!"
Wang Chong replied without any hesitation.
One should never overestimate a person, much less underestimate a person. Even though many people in the outside world thought that Consort Tai Zhen was just a woman who relied on her beauty to rise to power and had no other merits, Wang Chong knew that this was definitely not true.
An ordinary woman would never be able to endure as much criticism as she did and still be able to endure it. An ordinary woman would never be able to survive in the royal palace, which was filled with so many schemes and schemes.
When many people saw Consort Tai Zhen, they were easily attracted to Yang Zhao, thinking that she relied on Yang Zhao to take care of everything.
However, Wang Chong knew that this was a grave mistake.
Consort Tai Zhen had entered the royal palace before Yang Zhao had entered the capital and had successfully set down her roots. Regardless of whether she had Yang Zhao or not, she was definitely not as weak and useless as others imagined her to be.
'When a concubine smiles in the red dust, no one will know that she is a lychee'. Concubine Taizhen wasn't as weak and easily deceived as others thought.
