Chapter 145: The Battle Ahead
Overnight, the wind turned and rumors began to spread.
It is rumored that the eldest prince and General Hua became friends during this trip, and began to plan for the same thing, perhaps to change the pattern of this country.
Empress Yan has been unstable recently, but she naturally understands what the rumored 'same thing' refers to.
For more than ten years, she has sat in the position of the current queen from a concubine who does not have much wealth, and you can imagine how much suffering she has endured. Now, I thought that the overall situation had been decided, but I didn't want to make such a mistake at this critical moment. At the moment, her only concern is Retidy's attitude. The body of this unkingdom monarch has been deteriorating day by day in the past year, but after all, he is in his position, no matter what his will is, he still has full weight.
But Emperor Rui did not move, and the only edict was only to order a thorough investigation of Ziyu's framing on the way.
Queen Yan looked forward to it for a long time, but she only got the news, and immediately lost her square inch.
In fact, she only learned that Ziyu had returned intact when General Hua's army was about to arrive in the city.
The second battalion, which came back first, only brought the news of General Qian's death shot by the Liguo, and nothing else.
Most of the eyeliners that General Yuan Laiqian ambushed beside Ziyu in the first battalion were killed by Mo Yi, and the only two remaining people saw that Ziyu and the assassin were gone, so they stayed in the department.
Ziyu didn't make a fuss, turning a blind eye to the two of them, and just asked General Hua to find someone else to monitor in case they escaped.
After returning to Weiguo, Ziyu told Emperor Rui the whole story, but only concealed Mo Yi's rescue, only saying that he did everything possible to escape, and he was afraid that he would be harmed again when he went back, so he had been hiding in the dense forest for a week.
Ruidi immediately investigated thoroughly, and the remaining two suspicious soldiers were naturally put in prison and prepared to be interrogated.
Empress Yan was anxious.
Now that General Qian has died inexplicably, she can no longer verify it, and she doesn't dare to bet on whether those two eyeliners are reliable, and whether they will explain what they have been instructed by her.
Empress Yan first pretended to be inquiring, but was kept out of the prison and told that the matter would be supervised by Emperor Rui himself.
The day before the interrogation, Queen Yan had not paid attention, but the prince could no longer sit still.
He ran to Queen Yan's side, knelt down and shouted: "Queen Mother, this time you must save Quan'er! If this matter is revealed, everything will be over!"
Queen Yan raised her forehead and pondered, how could she be willing to see her flesh and blood so sad.
So, for the sake of her relatives and those power desires, she finally decided to make a ruthless move!
Empress Yan summoned the 'death guards' in the palace and asked them to go to the prison at night to kill the two eyeliners. In this way, there is no proof of death, and Ruidi naturally can't ask anything.
The dead guards took the order, each with a pill in their mouths, and walked away with their knives.
The pill contained a poison that would bite the pill and swallow it in an instant.
This kind of vicious method is the usual use of the death guard, and it is also the most reassuring killing move used by Queen Yan.
The death guards broke into the prison in the middle of the night, and they inevitably fought with the guards in front of the prison.
But I never expected that the guards in front of the prison were much simpler than they imagined, and within half an hour, the dead guards completed their task and escaped smoothly.
General Hua got the news and rushed into the palace overnight, and the two eyeliners in prison had been angry for a long time.
He examines the damage in front of the prison and finds that Ziyu is already waiting for her.
General Hua retreated and whispered to Ziyu.
"The eldest prince, you deliberately asked me to arrange the guards in front of the prison loosely, I thought you wanted to make the enemy take it lightly, and then be captured. But what's going on now? How did you get the only two witnesses who knew the truth to die?"
Ziyu replied lightly: "Naturally, it was done on purpose. ”
General Hua was unaware and immediately asked: "Why is this? That may be our only chance to turn the tables!"
Ziyu smiled lightly: "Empress Yan has already thought of using this killing move, and she will definitely do it without leaking! I am afraid that the person she uses is the so-called 'dead soldier'." At that time, even if they are captured, they will only get a few corpses, which is nothing!"
"But there's no need to let them get it, right?
Ziyu looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "General Hua, you don't know anything! Actually, according to Empress Yan's style of doing things, there is no need to worry about the people in prison revealing their mouths. Therefore, I suspect that the person in this prison was arranged by General Qian, not by her. Empress Yan couldn't believe that they could keep their mouths shut, so she made a killing move! However, she was really impatient this time, and instead made her and the crown prince guilty!"
General Hua frowned, puzzled: "What is the truth of this?"
Ziyu continued to explain to him: "General Hua thinks why did my father not care about the rumors that you and I had intersected, and why did he stop Empress Yan from interrogating the prisoners in prison?"
"This..."General Hua really didn't know. It stands to reason that the most taboo thing for monarchs in ancient times was that their heirs and important ministers came and went too often, and Empress Yan has always been favored, and it has become the norm for her to ask about these things.
Ziyu curled her lips and whispered: "That's because my father knew from the bottom of my heart that I had been wronged, and I had a relationship with you to protect myself! It's just that his father and the emperor thought of the relationship between husband and wife, and he wanted to interrogate him personally, because he had guessed the result early, and he just wanted to use this to warn Queen Yan. I guess that my father should have already prepared a way to ask for guilt, and those two eyeliners have only one way to die anyway, but the method of death is different. ”
General Hua was dumbfounded, he looked at Ziyu even more appreciatively, this great prince really thought about things well.
"It's just that, if that's the case, then why do you bother to let those dead soldiers get their hands on it easily? And, in this analysis, Ruidi is already biased, how can we have a chance of winning?" General Hua was faintly worried.
Ziyu looked up at the east, the sun had gradually risen, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"If the dead soldiers don't succeed today, my father may still do what he originally wanted! However, Empress Yan's military actions are dangerous, although the death of those two eyeliners has no proof, but the father already has the answer in his heart, he wanted to give them a chance to repent, but they have instead cut themselves off! This act hurts the king's heart, and this kind of wound cannot be healed in a day! Even if Empress Yan can make up for it in the future, her father will not forget her ruthlessness today, and that wound will always make him feel a faint pain!"
After hearing this, General Hua immediately admired Ziyu so much that he threw himself to the ground.
It's not that he admires his resourcefulness, but he hides his edge so well, and has lived through these many conspiracies and trajectories by himself, maybe he can really win the throne of the monarch in the end.
He patted Ziyu on the back, then clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't be confined to this position, you have the strength to dominate the world!
Ziyu was silent, just bowed slightly, but there was chaos in her heart.
Now that he has returned to Weiguo, there is no peace, and there is only one road in front of him, and this road will either achieve a generation of hegemony, or welcome the death of the prince of Weiguo.
He stared at the morning sun silently, and he didn't know how many peaceful days there would be in the future.
Suddenly, the broken hair on his forehead floated, and a breeze rose in the flat ground, and the crisp breath swept and dissipated.
Ziyu suddenly looked back, stunned and looked at the shadows of the trees moving slightly, always feeling that there seemed to be an old man there.
In the Luhua Palace, the soft and warm sun.
Li Wei was sitting at the table and obediently having breakfast with Concubine Hua.
When she came back this time, although Concubine Hua did not punish her, her nagging words did not stop for a moment, almost making her ears calloused.
Listening with her eyes down, she knew that a rebuttal would lead to a thousand lessons, and this time she was indeed a little willful and did not consider the overall situation.
Therefore, she pretended to be well-behaved on her face, unusually quiet, but she couldn't stop complaining in her heart, when will this breakfast be finished?
Just when she was about to lose her breath, she saw the maids at the door bowing and saluting, and called softly: "Mr. Mo!"
Looking at the probe who was happy and worried, he saw Mo Yi pacing in.
Li Wei immediately stood up, propped his hands on the table, and asked loudly, "When did you come?"
"Ahem!" Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and coughed lightly deliberately.
Li Wu stuck out his tongue, and then hurriedly saluted, very well-behaved: "Hello sir!"
"We're done, come and clean up the tables, you don't have to stay here. Sir, you have to check the princess's schoolwork, don't make a fuss in vain!" Concubine Hua ordered to the maids.
"Yes. ”
Soon, the table was cleaned up and tea was served. Only Concubine Hua, Liwu and Mo Yi were left in the room.
Concubine Hua said solemnly to Liwei: "This time you left suddenly, thanks to Mr. for helping me hide your affairs, otherwise, with my strength, how could others not find out about you for a month?"
"Sorrow knows it's wrong. This sentence has been said more than a hundred times, and even the feelings of repentance are exactly the same.
She quietly glanced at Mo Yi and winked at him.
Mo Yi naturally understood that she was asking him for help.
has always been more effective than anything else in front of Concubine Hua.
Mo Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said lightly without raising his eyebrows: "This time, you are indeed messing around!"
When Concubine Hua heard Mo Yi's words, she had a lot more confidence in preaching in her heart, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to straighten her waist.
Li Worry's heart was crazy, she relied on the tablecloth to cover it, and went to step on Mo Yi's feet.
It's just that he didn't understand it, and he was afraid that he would hurt when it was heavy, and in the end, he didn't convey any effect with a ruthless kick, but it was his lame sitting posture that provoked another conversation from his mother.
He glared at Mo Yi fiercely, but he drank the tea in the bowl disapprovingly.
The reflection in the clear tea soup was his can't help but smile, but he didn't see it, and even Mo Yi himself didn't know it.
