The beginning of the phoenix (45)

Although she did not hold the knife herself, those who died because of her were all killed by her, and the killing was all burdened by her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Is there a difference?

Stretching out her arm, facing the sun, her ten fingers were slightly open, and the brilliant light leaked out from between her fingers, Mu Ruolan stared at the dim hand in the light, as if she saw the crimson blood overflowing from her fingers, white and soft and stained with blood red.

Gently hugging her, Li Jin sighed softly, "It's good if you're happy, you can do whatever you want." ”

Mu Ruolan leaned on his shoulder, her eyebrows and eyes were light, and her quiet eyes suddenly turned.

Although the emperor did not deprive him of the power of the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses, but during his confinement, 100,000 imperial forest troops could not be left without an owner for a day.

The coach is under house arrest at home and cuts off all contact with the outside world, although Du Xin is only a supervisor of the army, he holds the real power of the Royal Forest Army.

Baiguan privately questioned that Du Xin was a cabinet minister, although he was born in Zhuangyuanlang, elegant and erudite, and literary style, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, taking charge of the Royal Forest Army, transferring troops and sending generals, and guarding the imperial city, is he okay?

Pingyang Hou is also regarded as a hegemon in the holy capital, that is the emperor has to give three points of courtesy, and now he is suddenly confined, and the power of the soldiers and horses in his hands is instantly lost to others, and the news spreads all over the streets and alleys of the capital like wings.

Mu Ruolan only pursed the corners of her lips when she learned about it, and there was no trace of surprise on her clear and simple face, only to see that she lifted the gauze sleeve covering the back of her hand to her wrist, rolled up the paper and lit the candle flame that jumped closely.

Looking at the burning letter, her mind wandered, things were going well, everything was going according to her plan, but for some reason, she just had a sense of crisis.

She asked Lin Yuyan, who was already a concubine, to blow the pillow wind in Li You's ear. The imperial doctor diagnosed that Lin Yuyan's fetus was pregnant with a male fetus, for Li You, who had a difficult heir, if there was no accident, Lin Yuyan's son was to be crowned the prince, but Lin Yuyan came from the family of the seven-rank petty official, and she was weak and had no support in the court, which was greatly unfavorable to the future prince. And the best way to protect the prince's safety and interests is the military power.

At that time, before arranging Lin Yuyan to enter the palace, Mu Ruolan persuaded Du Xin to get through the relationship and cheat on Lin Yuyan's life experience, so that she was selected as a show girl as Du Xin's cousin, and then after many schemes, Lin Yuyan stood out among many daughters.

In this way, if Lin Yuyan gives birth to a prince, then Du Xin is the identity of his cousin, and Li You will hand over the power of the Royal Forest Army to him, which is the most reassuring.

Although Pingyang Hou is still the commander of the Royal Forest Army, the real power has been hollowed out, and after the half-year ban period, the military power has already changed hands.

Du Xin is a relative, is a minister, if there is no accident, Li You is using him as a raft, first encircled Pingyang Hou, let Du Xin serve as the supervisor of the Imperial Forest Army to avoid the loss of military power, and then slowly set aside those commanders and soldiers loyal to Pingyang Hou in the Royal Forest Army, and gradually install people he trusted to occupy various important positions, until the 100,000 Royal Forest Army is in his hands, and finally Du Xin is removed and replaced by the commander he wants.

Mu Ruolan pulled a sarcastic smile, it's really exciting! She couldn't wait, but things still had to come step by step.

Rui Wang's Mansion.

Duanmuqing sat at the table with a blank face, her eyes were empty, the maid Xiangcui laid out the dishes and chopsticks, saw her stunned, and said softly, "Princess, let's eat!" ”

His eyes moved, "Xiangcui, is that slut really pregnant?" The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, there were also many concubines in the backyard of this palace, King Rui was not a person of indulgence, rarely concubines, even the rain and dew that she had touched as a princess did not exceed ten fingers, not to mention those concubines, some were still virgins, she had never been pregnant with Prince Rui in the three years she had been in the palace, but what was Zhou Xiu, when she entered the mansion, she couldn't even see the face of the prince, and she chased her to Yayuan Pavilion to seduce the prince, just one night, how could she be pregnant with a child?

What's even worse is that the slut actually framed her with that evil seed, and now that her father has been grounded, she is anxious but at a loss.

"The slave maid heard that Concubine Zhou's belly is already pregnant, and the imperial doctor has also come to see her, so she can't be wrong." Xiangcui lowered her head and whispered, "Princess, the slave doesn't know what to say." ”

Duanmuqing glanced up at her, "If you have something, just say it, don't spit it out." ”

"Yes." Xiangcui sighed slightly, "The slave maid has a fellow sister, the poor family was sold into the Peony Pavilion by her father, a few days ago the slave maid met her in the rouge shop in the east of the city, and she had not seen her for many years and greeted her for a while, she learned that the slave maid was the princess's personal maid after the look was different, the slave maid saw that she seemed to have something to say, so she pulled her to the alley, and under the slave maid's questioning, she said that the eldest prince of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion had taken someone to the Peony Pavilion to find a woman, the slave asked her who the woman was, her words flickered as if she had scruples and did not dare to say, The slave and maid did not force her, but only asked her to describe the woman's appearance. ”

Seeing that she wanted to stop talking here, Duanmuqing realized that something was wrong, and asked urgently, "Who is that woman?" ”

Xiangcui lowered her voice, "Listening to the appearance she described, that woman seems to be ...... Concubine Zhou. ”

Is it Zhou Xiu's slut?

As if finding a glimmer of light in the darkness, Duanmu Qing's eyes lit up, "Are you telling the truth?" How could Zhou Yu go to the Peony Pavilion to find his sister? Where did you find them? ”

"The slave maid is not sure, but it sounds very similar to Concubine Zhou, when the prince of Zhou smashed the Peony Pavilion without finding anyone, the old bustard said the whereabouts of the woman, saying that it was bought by a merchant in the city, and then the merchant was extinguished by a fire overnight."

Duanmu Qing stared at the table full of untouched dishes with gloomy eyes, and said with a contemptuous smile after a while, "I said how to make a good general's concubine want to be a concubine, it turned out that she had already lost her innocence, and was sent to the palace by her father and brother as a thing to befriend the prince, a lowly slut, dare to calculate on my head, this time I will let her die without a place to be buried." ”

Xiangcui was frightened by her resentful appearance, "But, but if it's not Concubine Zhou, ......"

Duanmu Qing interrupted her with a sneer, and said word for word, "There is no case, she can frame me with that evil seed, can't I draw the scoop in the same way, hum, I call it the way of others to govern others." ”

Xiangcui asked uneasily, "What is the princess going to do?" ”

Duanmuqing ignored her, clapped her hands, and a gray shadow appeared in front of her.

"You heard what Xiangcui said just now, I want you to find out and find the witness, I want to make that slut unable to turn over."

The gray-clothed secret guard frowned and said, "Master Hou has told the princess not to act rashly, so as not to fall into the trap." ”

Duanmuqing couldn't listen to persuasion, "If this matter is completed, Zhou Xiu can be brought down, if it doesn't work, I am just thinking about the prince, and if I listen to slander and misunderstand, I won't lose much." ”

"But this matter is related to the reputation of King Rui, and if he goes out, I'm afraid it will annoy him."

Duanmu Qing sneered, "He listened to the words of the Zhou family and decided that I was guilty, and he didn't miss the love of husband and wife and snubbed me, and even affected my father, so far, I'm afraid of annoying him?" ”

Now, she just wants to bring down Zhou Xiu and hit the Zhou family, as long as she can get her wish, she is willing to do anything.
