Chapter 57: Settle old accounts
When she met Su Ruotong and Mu Ziran on the streets of Pingyang City before, Su Ruoxi saw that Su Ruotong was just a superficial scenery, and she had the false name of a princess.
It's just that she didn't expect that it was even more unbearable than she imagined.
Su Ruotong, like her, became a victim of imperial power, but compared to Su Ruotong, she was not so cowardly.
"What kind of person you are, I don't know yet! Don't pretend to be pathetic in front of me, now I'm going to ask you a second question. ”
Su Ruoxi didn't want to know whether Su Ruotong was doing well or not, because it was all Su Ruotong's own fault.
Su Ruotong wiped her tears and sobbed: "Sister, please speak!" ”
"On the day I got married, I met a group of robbers pretending to be killers, did you secretly send those killers?"
"Nope! Even if my sister did a lot of heinous things when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, but my sister didn't really want my sister's life, how could my sister send someone to kill my sister? My sister really didn't know about this. ”
Su Ruotong shook her head desperately, as if this would prove her innocence.
Of course, Su Ruoxi knew that it would not be Su Ruotong, because Su Ruotong did not have the ability to find such a group of killers to harm her.
"You don't know? If it weren't you, who would it be? Is it still the crown prince? ”
"Prince? The prince and his sister have no grievances, how could they send a killer to harm their sister? Is my sister too careful, maybe those people are really just robbers? ”
Su Ruotong said very seriously, and it seemed like she really didn't know.
Knowing that she couldn't ask an answer, Su Ruoxi skipped this question and continued to ask: "Now you can honestly answer my previous question, the prince was on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and suddenly the old illness recurred, did you secretly do something?" ”
"Sister is really good at laughing, who is the third prince? In the court, there are more than 10,000 people under one person, how can my sister have the courage to harm the three princes? Even if my sister has that heart, she doesn't have that ability. ”
Knowing that Su Ruotong would answer like this, Su Ruoxi's face turned a little colder.
"Of course you don't have that ability, but Uncle Guo has it, and the prince has it! If you want to fool me, how about I go to the prince and fool you in front of you? ”
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Uncle Guo and the crown prince, no one will be able to harm Mu Zihan, the reason why she pretended to say that it was Su Ruotong was just to ask Su Ruotong to confess the real murderer in order to prove it clearly.
Seeing that Su Ruoxi was angry, Su Ruotong didn't dare to hide it, and cried and said, "Sister, stop being angry!" Although this matter has nothing to do with her sister, her sister overheard the prince and the uncle talking in the room. ”
"What did they say?"
"My sister didn't hear a lot, but I only heard Uncle Guo say that the residual poison in the body of the third prince has not been removed, and adding what Gu and what sand to the wine can cause the residual poison to force the body, so that the third prince will relapse from madness and die."
Beverage? She checked it clearly and secretly when she was at the banquet, and there was no problem with the wine Mu Zihan drank.
Don't......?
Su Ruoxi suddenly recalled a suspicious scene, that is, at the banquet, Uncle Guo personally came over to toast.
At that time, Uncle Guo and Mu Zihan were still secretly fighting for internal strength, and Uncle Guo's wine glass was broken, and the wine was spilled all over the ground.
Could it be that Uncle Guo put that medicine in his own wine glass, and then deliberately came to compare his internal strength with Mu Zihan, and at the moment when the wine glass was broken, he stained the medicinal wine in his cup into Mu Zihan's wine glass.
Mu Zihan defeated Uncle Guo, and he was proud for a while, and drank the wine in his cup without thinking too much.
In addition to this, she really couldn't think of when Uncle Guo could let Mu Zihan, who was cautious, drink medicinal wine unconsciously.
"Humph! And so it was! ”
Su Ruoxi snorted angrily, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Uncle Guo and the crown prince are really wishful thinking, Mu Zihan has a recurrence of his old illness on the way back, and I am afraid that all the people accompanying him will be killed by Mu Zihan himself.
And even if Mu Zihan dies of a violent illness, if they find out and use some forces in secret, the matter can be perfectly covered up.
The emperor is there, and they can also have a good explanation.
Thinking of this, Su Ruoxi felt a little afraid, if it weren't for Helian Suifeng's help, maybe Uncle Guo's plan would have really succeeded.
"You just said that the three princes are under one person in the court, and above ten thousand? Shouldn't that person be the uncle of the country or the crown prince? ”
Su Ruoxi continued to ask, she never knew how powerful Mu Zihan was, and why so many people were afraid of him.
Su Ruotong shouldn't hide it, straightened out her thoughts, and then replied: "My sister has always been very puzzled by this problem, but I only know that the third prince can't be provoked. My sister once discussed with the prince, saying that the prince is the crown prince given by the emperor today, so why should I be afraid of a prince in Mu Zihan. ”
"Later, after the prince told his sister about the background of the third prince, my sister knew the truth."
"Tell me everything you know!"
Seeing that Su Ruotong really knew, Su Ruoxi was suddenly excited.
She had checked Mu Zihan, but she was helplessly in the palace, and she didn't get much useful information at all.
"The mother concubine of the third prince was originally the most favored concubine in the harem, a jade nobleman personally enshrined by the emperor. When the third prince was ten years old, Yu Guiren fell ill and died, and the third prince also fell seriously ill and planted the root of madness. ”
"In order to protect the three princes, the emperor made the three princes who were only ten years old the king and gave the land to Pingyang City."
Su Ruoxi only knew that Mu Zihan's biological mother's name was Chen Fuyu, and she was the emperor's favored jade noble, and she didn't know about the rest.
"What else?"
"The elder brother of the Jade Guiren, that is, the uncle of the third prince, is the god of war of the Northern Qi Kingdom, holding military power, and among the millions of troops of the Northern Qi Kingdom, 800,000 are loyal to Marshal Chen."
Later, Yuguiren died, and some people in the court accused Marshal Chen of collaborating with the enemy and treason. In order to prove his innocence, General Chen handed over the military power in his hand and committed suicide by banging his head above the court. ”
Hearing Su Ruotong say this, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
What jade nobleman died of illness, the third prince fell seriously ill and went crazy, and Marshal Chen collaborated with the enemy to commit treason.
This qiē must have been secretly framed by someone, with the aim of completely eradicating them.
Soon after the military power was recovered, the emperor found that 800,000 of the million-strong army had disappeared overnight. And the 800,000 brave and warlike troops are Marshal Chen's die-hard subordinates. ”
"No one knows where this group of troops went, and later it was revealed that the third prince had a token in his hand that could command the 800,000 army, which was the last hole card left by Marshal Chen in order to protect the third prince. Moreover, only the third prince can command the army of 800,000. ”
