Liu Xiu kept Ma Yuan in the palace, and the news spread to the harem, except for Guo Shengtong, the rest of the people were just over the ear and did not pay attention. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guo Shengtong didn't expect the opportunity he was waiting for to come so soon. After a night of repeated deliberation, Guo Shengtong finally finalized the strategy. The next day, he ordered Zhou Ruyi to invite Guo Guo to avoid everyone, and the two sisters and brothers whispered behind closed doors.

Seeing this, Guo Guo was suspicious, and he asked, "What does the queen mean by this?" ”

Guo Shengtong said: "There is no one here, you should call me sister." ”

Guo Guo was obedient to this, so he asked calmly: "Sister has something important to discuss?" ”

Guo Shengtong didn't answer immediately, but asked Guo Guo: "Does my brother remember how my sister came to be here?" ”

Guo Guo remembered himself, although he was puzzled, but he replied truthfully, "I remember." He thought, how could Guo Shengtong suddenly mention this matter for no reason, is there anything wrong with the posterior position now? Thinking of this, Guo Guo felt uneasy, and he suddenly looked at Guo Shengtong.

Guo Shengtong and Guo Jing's eyes met, and she immediately understood what Guo Guo was thinking, she took the opportunity to say: "Don't hide it from my brother, Your Majesty has become more and more cold to my sister in recent years, and not long ago I also issued a decree stating that if it is not an important matter, I must not let my sister meet the prince, otherwise I will delay the prince and bear all the consequences." However, do you know that His Majesty did not let his sister and the prince meet, but made the prince and those people in the West Palace closer, do you understand the deep meaning? ”

When Guo Guo heard this, he was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the situation had developed to such a point. Last time, Guo Shengtong told him that the fifth prince had been ill for a long time and was the poisonous hand of Yin Lihua, because the fifth prince was favored by Liu Xiu, he was half-convinced of this, thought about it, and felt that Guo Shengtong's plan was only unfavorable to Yin Lihua, and it was okay to bring down Yin Lihua, he acted according to his words, but later heard what happened to Yin Lihua, in fact, he still felt guilty. Just now he vaguely guessed that Guo Shengtong would definitely ask him to do something to deal with Yin Lihua this time, and he was still thinking about how to refuse, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua have become mortal enemies, in this case, he no longer feels guilty about Yin Lihua, and asked Guo Shengtong solemnly: "What does my sister say, although it is." ”

Guo Shengtong then explained Guo Guo in this way, and she finally said to Guo Guo: "Brother, although my sister wants to get rid of the one in the West Palace, she has her own heart to die, but it is more for us Guo family." His Majesty has been interested in the West Palace from the beginning, and he has been forced by the situation to set me up, and to this day, presumably His Majesty still does not change his original intention, just waiting for the opportunity, so my sister has to do so. ”

Guo Guozheng was surprised by Guo Shengtong's strategy, he always knew that his sister was smart, but he didn't expect Guo Shengtong to have such a city and be so ruthless. Hearing Guo Shengtong's words, Guo Guo came back to his senses from surprise, and he replied with a serious face: "My brother understands that in the future, even if my sister tells me, my younger brother will obey his orders." ”

With Guo Guo's promise, Guo Shengtong felt at ease.

On this night, Liu Xiu held a banquet to entertain Ma Yuan. When the banquet was in full swing, there was a sudden change, and I saw the wine maid beside Liu Xiu swinging a dagger and stabbing Liu Xiu fiercely, and the knife fell very quickly.

Seeing that the second knife was about to fall, at the last moment, Guo Shengtong next to him pounced and blocked one knife and two knives for Liu Xiu.

The murderous palace maid was finally subdued by Yulin, but before she had time to interrogate, Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong were poisoned one after another. Dendrobium immediately rescued them, allowing the two to wake up quickly, but Guo Shengtong was seriously injured and sent back to Changqiu Palace.

Liu Xiu asked the murderous palace maid who was kowtowing to the ground and trembling in a deep voice: "Who instructed you?" ”

I saw that the palace maid suddenly shuddered, and then replied resolutely: "No one instructs." ”

Liu Xiu took a deep look at the palace maid, and instructed left and right: "Wait for my great punishment." ”

"Whoa." Yu Linwei immediately dragged the palace maid away, and after a while, he came back and said to Liu Xiu that the palace maid identified Ma Yuan.

Liu Xiu didn't believe it, and ordered to continue the torture.

After a while, Yu Linwei brought back the palace maid who was already scarred, and said to Liu Xiuyu: "Back to Your Majesty, the prisoner said that he would like to tell the truth, but he must tell it in person." ”

"Bring her back." Liu Xiu commanded.

Yu Linwei dragged the palace maid back and retreated back to her original position.

The palace maid who fell to the ground and was dying said weakly: "It's a Yin noble." The late Shangjun Taishou died not of illness, but because he offended the Yin clan, who lied to General Ma to cover up the facts. This time General Ma came, the Yin nobles were afraid that General Ma would learn the truth and be unfavorable to the Yin clan, so they decided to strike first, so that the slaves and maids assassinated His Majesty and blamed General Ma, so that General Ma could be removed by His Majesty's hand, and His Majesty would have the name of Longxi. If His Majesty unfortunately dies, there will be Lord Yin of the Yellow Gate and his henchmen to seize the palace, take advantage of the chaos to remove the crown prince, and let the fourth prince ascend the throne as the emperor. ”

"It seems to be a hard bone, so I will continue to wait for me." Liu Xiu didn't believe a word about what the palace maid said, thinking about it, it was actually reasonable and really clever, but Liu Xiu believed in Yin Lihua and the Yin family, besides, he was not stupid, jumping out of the palace maid's guidance, Liu Xiu didn't believe that a little palace maid could know much about the master's plan, which was obviously a big flaw.

When Yu Linwei walked towards the palace maid according to Liu Xiu's order, the palace maid raised her voice and shouted: "What the slave maid said is true, Your Majesty is so partial to the Yin nobles, I am not afraid that he will be plotted again." If Your Majesty is willing to die, the slave and maid will not complain, but the slave and maid are willing to prove it with death. "After that, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Everyone was stunned for a while before coming back to their senses.

A minister took the lead in saying to Liu Xiu: "Please also ask Your Majesty to be cautious." The implication is what Liu Xiuxin said about the murderer.

As soon as these words came out, many ministers echoed in loud voices, "Please be cautious Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xiu sneered at this, and he solemnly said to the ministers: "The Yin clan, I believe in it, and the Yin nobles believe in it." If the yin nobles have evil intentions, there is no need to wait until today, and you don't even understand such a simple reason, no wonder you listen to it in the dark. He got up, took a pain, and walked straight to Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua hurriedly got up.

Liu Xiu held Yin Lihua's hand and looked at the ministers calmly.

At the moment of Liu Xiu's assassination, Yin Lihua finally saw Liu Xiu's position in her heart, and when she was in disbelief, Liu Xiu's performance made her no longer have distracting thoughts in her heart, and only Liu Xiu was left in her eyes. At this moment, being held by Liu Xiu and standing together, Liu Xiu's trust and love made her very moved. At that moment, Yin Lihua felt a kind of tranquility of stepping through the red dust.

At this moment, Ma Yuan informed the ministers: "My brother is indeed sick, and when my brother died of illness, Weichen quietly went to Luoyang to visit. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were silent. As soon as Ma Yuan's words came out, everyone knew that what the palace maid said was false.

When the ministers were silent, Dendrobium continued: "Weichen has a question in his heart, I wonder if the adults can solve it?" If you want to murder Your Majesty, wine is the best weapon for the palace maid, but why should she give up the easy and the difficult to attract attention? In his opinion, although this assassination was also a success, the testimony was full of flaws, and it was obvious that he was going to Yin Lihua, and he didn't believe that Yin Lihua was the kind of person the palace maid said.

The ministers were speechless about this. But they inevitably thought that they could use wine to achieve their goals but not use it, but they acted in a high-profile manner, did they deliberately take Guo Shengtong out, or did they have no intention? If this is deliberate, is what Guo Shengtong did to further use bitter tricks to get rid of his suspicion? After all, Liu Xiu died, and the crown prince ascended the throne naturally, not to mention that Liu Yang intended to rebel back then. This is really worth pondering.

If what Dendrobium Mu said was just a guide, then Laixi's next words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

I only heard that Guo Guo was asked: "The Marquis of Mianman watched his beloved kill himself, but he didn't change his color, which really made Weichen admire." Although he admired, his expression was full of sarcasm.

Lai's words immediately caused a sensation among the ministers, and everyone glanced at Guo Guo, and then you look at me, I look at you, and then whispered.

Guo Guo didn't expect things to take such a sharp turn, he said with a solemn face: "Just a slave and maid, who is Benhou's beloved, besides, Benhou and she don't know each other, please be cautious." ”

"Oh." Lai She was obviously very surprised by what Guo Guo said, he said: "Since you don't know each other, dare to ask how the Marquis of Mianman had a private meeting with her in the uninhabited alley last night?" ”

After Lai Xi learned from the people sent into the palace that Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua were incompatible, he asked the people in the palace to pay more attention to Guo Shengtong's movements, and he also began to pay attention to Guo Shengtong's situation. Guo Guo was invited by Guo Shengtong and what he did afterwards, all of which were seen by Laixi. At that time, he didn't understand what Guo Guo wanted, he thought that the woman was Guo Guo's good friend, but after seeing everything today, he finally understood some of Guo Guo's plot with Guo Shengtong.

Guo Guo did meet the woman who had committed suicide in a deserted alley last night, yes, she was not a palace maid, but mixed in with his help. Since you can say it, you must have seen it, and maybe others have seen it. Guo Guo knew that now he could only admit it. "Ben Hou does have a relationship with her, as far as Ben Hou knows, she is not a palace maid, but a woman from a good family. However, Benhou didn't know how she got into the palace and why she acted the way she did. In order to avoid causing trouble, Ben Hou did not want to recognize him, but he did not expect to be seen by the adults. It's just that Ben Hou is very curious, since it is a no-man's alley, how can an adult come here for no reason? ”

Lai Wan Er said: "Wei Chen had something to ask last night, but unexpectedly, the Marquis of Mian was in a hurry, his expression was different, Wei Chen was curious for a while, so he followed him on foot. Mianmanhou is confused, Weichen has been solved, this is a trivial matter, according to Weichen, should he get back to business? Guo Guo wants to change the topic, how can he not know, and how can he let Guo Guo get his wish.

The ministers listened to the words of Lai Shi and Guo Guo, and looked at Guo Guo with scrutinizing eyes.

Guo Guo seemed to ignore the courtiers' scrutiny, and remained calm.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu glanced at Guo Guo meaningfully, turned around and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and held the Yulin guards accountable. After explaining, Liu Xiu took Yin Lihua's hand and left first.

Yin Lihua didn't say a word from beginning to end, and her face didn't change, so that people with a heart thought that she was accustomed to this kind of thing, and couldn't help but feel heartache, looking at Yin Lihua's shadow was full of pity.
