Chapter 3486 The male cannon fodder wife in ancient novels 5

After all, if the emperor has no objection to the prince, it is not difficult to keep the prince's position.

But if the emperor has a problem with the prince and wants to push the son of his true love to the throne, and An Ran wants to save himself and keep the prince's position, it will be too difficult. After all, the emperor is the best in the world. What does he want to do and how can An Ran stop it?

An Ran felt that with her own ability, she might not be able to do it, so she could only find time to remind the prince and queen.

Although the queen's family is just a rich and idle person with no real power, she still has some influence, and the prince also has some influence. If they knew in advance that the emperor liked Concubine Wang Shu and wanted to depose the prince and push the third prince over, they would definitely find a way to deal with this matter. Yes, it's more convenient than staying in the back house.

After all, don’t forget, because the status of the crown prince and crown prince is unshakable, some ministers, although they do not side with the prince openly, secretly have sided with the prince. After all, although there are people who want to be pure ministers, it is impossible for everyone to be like this. , there are still people who want to speculate, and want to take refuge in the prince while he is still the prince. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, they can gain a better status.

Although these people are suspected of speculation, the emperor dislikes seeing such people the most, because today he can rely on himself, and in the future if he establishes a prince, these people will also be able to rely on the prince. They are a group of unreliable people. .

But at this time, they were the prince's power. Once the prince and the queen knew the emperor's intention, they would still have these men and they could use them, which would be better than having no men at all.

After considering these things, An Ran couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the little actions between the emperor and Wang Shufei, and thought to himself, if this world is a novel world, it is still a novel world with several scripts.

The line about Qin Honghou is an ancient Mary Sue script, and the line about Concubine Wang Shu as the protagonist is a script about being pampered by the emperor and using others as a shield.

I have to say that in ancient novels, I really like to write stories where the male protagonist likes the female protagonist, is afraid that the female protagonist will be harmed, and uses other women as shields. In the end, other women are cannon fodder, and he and the woman he likes are happy, especially the story of Gong. In fighting stories and black stories, because the female protagonist faces more risks, it is easy for plots like this to occur. Others do not know that the male protagonist has someone he likes, and they only target the people around him on the surface.

At that time, no one thought that such a plot had a wrong outlook. They all thought that the female supporting role was annoying, and they just liked to see the female supporting role being unlucky and the heroine taking the lead. Looking back now, such a plot is simply poisonous. The female supporting role owes you, being treated like this You are using and harming her. In the final analysis, isn't it because the male protagonist is useless and can't even protect his own woman, so he still needs to use other women to protect his own woman?

After a family dinner, An Ran got the answer she wanted. She felt that her trip was not in vain and she went back in a good mood.

On the way back, An Ran asked the prince about the origins of some of the prince's concubines.

The original person stayed in the palace for a long time, so she naturally knew about it, but at the beginning, when she first came, she didn't know much.

Yes, when the marriage decree came to the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang mentioned the origins of the nobles in the palace to the original body, so as not to know the taboos and offend anyone unintentionally. However, There were too many people, there were other etiquettes to learn, and the time was short. The original person didn't remember them very well, so An Ran said that he didn't know very well. According to the original person's memory at the moment, it was true. .

But An Ran, who inherited the original memory, actually knew the origins of these concubines. The reason why he asked questions knowingly was to guide the prince to pay attention to Wang Shufei.

The prince was not surprised when he heard An Ran asking about the affairs of several princes, mothers and concubines. He just thought that An Ran wanted to get acquainted with the people in the palace, so he immediately knew everything and said:

"The second brother's mother-in-law, Concubine Sun, comes from the Sun family in Beijing, which is a big family. However, Concubine Sun is not a direct daughter, so she married her father as a side concubine when he was the prince. .”

"The third brother's mother-in-law, Concubine Wang Shu, comes from the Wang family in Beijing, which is also a big family. Her marriage to the father is similar to the situation when Sun Guifei married the father. She is also a branch of the big family. When the father was the prince, , marry the father as his concubine."

"The fourth brother's mother-in-law and the fifth brother's mother-in-law were both drafted after my father became emperor. They are not of high origin."

The prince told An Ran everything he knew about everyone's situation.

The emperor of this dynasty has only five grown-up sons for the time being, so the prince told the situation of these five mothers and concubines.

An Ran pretended not to know, as if she had just heard it, and nodded while listening.

Then An Ran pretended to be strange and asked: "Since Concubine Sun and Concubine Wang Shu have similar backgrounds, and they both gave birth to princes, why didn't Your Majesty make Concubine Shu a concubine as well? I didn't see that Your Majesty didn't like Concubine Shu or the three of them." Prince."

After hearing this, the prince couldn't help but be startled, and then said: "Your Majesty likes Empress Sun more, so he made her your concubine."

Yes, the current favored concubine in the harem is nominally Concubine Sun.

An Ran secretly thought, I'm afraid that's not the case. The emperor is afraid that in order to protect the woman he likes, he has added double insurance. With the queen and Sun Guifei in front, everyone will only target the queen and Sun Guifei. Wang Shufei does not have a status in the palace. The highest, not even the most favored. After all, the favored person is Sun Guifei, so all the overt and covert attacks in the palace will only be directed at the queen and Sun Guifei.

So An Ran immediately tortured his soul and said: "Since His Majesty likes Empress Sun more, why is the marriage arranged for the second prince not as good as that for the third prince?"

Yes, Qin Honghou's ambiguous third prince is also getting married.

This is normal. After all, the princes have all married princesses, and have "died" to a concubine. Even if the third prince is not married yet, how could he not be engaged.

It's just that the third prince later married Qin Honghou, and the person he was engaged to was, needless to say, also turned into cannon fodder.

And it was even worse than the original person - she was found to be having an affair with someone, had no face to see anyone, and died of an illness.

An Ran has reason to believe that this is because the third prince is unwilling to break off the engagement, and does not want to end up with a girl who will have a bad reputation by breaking off the engagement. Of course, he can't just break off the engagement. After all, this is a marriage granted by the emperor, so he deliberately harms the girl. That girl.

It was probably the third prince who did it, Qin Honghou shouldn't be the one, right? But it's hard to say, judging from how she treats her original body and her children, she is also quite a poisonous person.

If nothing else, the third prince's fiancée, as long as she was in her right mind, would not have an affair with someone while she was engaged to the prince, but she did this, which meant that there was something wrong with her brain.

And in this world, who could cause her brain problems? An Ran felt that among Qin Hanhou's ambiguous partners, the quack doctor, was highly suspicious. This person could not only make a fake death potion, but also make a spring potion that would harm her. Being the fiancée of the third prince is not a difficult matter.

So An Ran still needs to investigate who killed that girl.
