King Qi said goodbye to Fang Xiaoyu and returned to the palace to sit in the study, only to feel depressed. After walking around the room a few times, thinking about going to the backyard, and remembering that Princess Qi had not returned to the house before she went to see off Ling, she sat down again.

"Lord Wang, Lord Chu sent someone to send a solitary book, saying that you have been looking for a long time, Lord Wang."

"Lonely?" King Qi's heart was shocked, this was the code he had agreed with the King of Chu, and it was not necessary to use it unless it was important. "Get in."

Could it be that Princess Chu found any clues? He didn't have to wait too long before he had the answer.

King Qi took a note and read it several times before he was convinced of this news.

The crown prince wants to murder his father? King Qi hid his shock in his heart, and he quickly issued several orders, ordering him to secretly gather his men to stand by.

At the end, he hesitated and turned back and forth a few times. The expression on his face suddenly hesitated, suddenly firm, and finally made up his mind to stand by and watch this matter.

Father, he is your most beloved son. Die at his hands, you must be willing! I am under house arrest by you, even if I want to protect you, how dare I disobey your orders!

King Qi lowered his eyes, he had decided to wait for the crown prince to be completed, and then in the name of avenging his father, he would surround the palace and kill the prince.

……

Imperial City, Changle Palace.

After listening to Shanmei's reply, Empress Cao smiled faintly.

After many years, has she finally returned to the palace? At this time, what is the emperor's plan to bring her back? Could it be that it is to support the crown prince?

I thought that after so many years of husband and wife, even if he was hard-hearted, he could warm him up. It's a pity that she still overestimated the ruthlessness of Emperor Qinglong.

Could it be that his gentle words to himself in the past two years have only paved the way for her return? So how to deal with yourself who is in the way, is it a glass of poisonous wine or a three-foot white silk?

Empress Cao looked at her newly dyed nails with Kodan. These well-maintained hands can't see fine lines, that's because the fine lines are engraved on the heart!

Quietly picked up Jiang Bingwei, did you really think that you wouldn't know?

Empress Cao's look made Shanmei look very frightened. "Niangniang, the maid looked at her and quietly entered the palace. Most of them will be sent out quietly, don't worry about it. ”

Empress Cao smiled coldly, even Shanmei herself wouldn't believe this. Jiang Bingwei was abolished by the first emperor himself, and at this time, he took great pains to take it back, was it just to send it away quietly?

That's it, after so many years, what do you care? No matter what he plans, she will fight hard for the sake of the children.

"Princess Chu asks to see." Outside the palace is humane.

"See you."

Princess Chu didn't go to send the spirit today, and she came in with a charming look that she couldn't say. Even if Queen Cao often sees her, she feels that she has a different style every time.

After Zhaoyang left, he handed over the news network in his hand to Princess Chu. It is normal for a daughter-in-law to enter the palace to visit her mother, and it is more convenient than the king of Chu entering the palace.

Due to the death of the crown princess, the princess of Chu was dressed in a plain cloud brocade, and the hairpin ring was much less. Compared with her with heavy makeup, she has a different charm.

"The daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother." Seeing the ceremony, Princess Chu smiled and said, "Queen Mother, I have an interesting story to tell you today." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the palace people standing without a trace.

"Stand down." Empress Cao retreated everyone, leaving only Shanmei to serve.

"Queen Mother, there is reliable news that after the prince returned from the funeral, he wanted to murder his father." Princess Chu's voice was very low, and there was some tension in her voice, "There is an internal response in the palace, and the soldiers will open the palace gate to echo with the prince, intending to force the palace." ”

Empress Cao's hand trembled.

Forced palace?

Behind just two words, how much blood and cruelty is hidden. Whether it succeeds or not, it is foreseeable that countless heads will fall to the ground.

"Where's the soldier?" Empress Cao's first reaction was to ask the prince's troops. There are many yamen with soldiers in the capital, but only the Northern Ya Sixth Army can really be called elite.

The number of soldiers and horses in the five cities is not as good as that of Beiya, and it is far inferior in terms of troops. The only thing that can compete with Beiya is the Gyeonggi Camp stationed on the outskirts of Beijing.

But the Wu family has already stood on the side of the King of Qi, and with Wu Sheng's control over the Beiya, the problem is not in the Beiya.

Princess Chu shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just know that someone will lead troops to respond to the mutiny." ”

Right now, there are two paths in front of Empress Cao:

Article 1: Immediately expose the conspiracy of the crown prince;

Day 2: Plan ahead and sit on the sidelines. After the prince succeeded, he closed the door and beat the dog, exposed the evil deeds of the prince who killed the king and killed his father, and helped the king of Qi to ascend the throne.

In her life, Empress Cao has experienced many major choices. But this time, it was still the hardest.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the palace and look at the distant past. The right hand is slightly opened, and then it is tightly squeezed again, and so on.

Princess Chu lowered her eyes and waited quietly, such a major decision could only be decided by Empress Cao herself.

However, after a cup of tea, the pictures in Queen Cao's mind came one after another.

the youth when she was a girl, and the beauty and sweetness when she was in love with Fang Xiaoyu; For the sake of the family, the pain of having to marry into the royal family; Emperor Qinglong has been indifferent to her for many years, and respectful ......

All kinds of pictures were finally frozen in the picture of Fang Caishanmei's report, and Queen Cao made up her mind in her heart.

Emperor Qinglong is suspicious, and at this moment, he will expose the prince's bad intentions, and he will be charged with a crime. It's better to let the prince succeed and let him take a good look at how his most beloved son repays him!

She wanted to see if his heart would hurt at that time.

"You go back to the palace first, don't make a noise about this matter, just secretly strengthen your defense."

Hearing Empress Cao say this, Princess Chu understood her decision. She was not surprised by such a result. In front of the supreme throne, she can understand what kind of means Empress Cao takes.

I have to say that Jiang Chen led Wu Zhengxiang away with this move, and he played it really well.

In Luoyang City, there are three major intelligence organizations. The intelligence network of Princess Zhaoyang in the hands of Princess Chu and the intelligence network woven by Wang Miaoyan of the Prince's Mansion, but the largest intelligence organization is in the hands of Emperor Qinglong.

The Horse Guard and the Shadow Guard, one bright and one dark, can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

However, due to Xu Wanzhen's disappearance, Wu Zhengxiang went north, and most of the troops of the Xiao Cavalry Guard were attracted to it. The Shadow Guard is still loyal to his duty, but his vision is still disturbed by the north, not to mention that the Shadow Guard is now good at guarding and assassinating, not intelligence information.

If Wu Zhengxiang was in charge of the overall situation in the city, and even the princess of Chu received the news, how could the changes in the prince's mansion be hidden from his eyes?

Even King Qi and Empress Cao, for different reasons, invariably chose to give up Emperor Qinglong. Wu Zhengxiang will never turn his back on this man who is also a master and a father to him.

Jiang Chen's grasp of people's hearts can be said to be extreme.
