207 Deterring the concubines

Concubine Mo's eyes were full of scheming, she glanced at the former emperor ** who had long been out of life on the dragon, and then at her son who was close here, and a plan in her heart gradually took shape. As long as she sends news to her father, even if the third prince sits on this son, she is not afraid, but the holy decree of the former emperor makes her a little worried.

From the perspective of the former emperor, she is also very clear in her heart, and there is no one more suitable to take over this throne than Qi Xuan. He is resolute, cold-hearted, and has great military exploits in God, thinking that if the emperor's will is known to those ministers, he must also support her son.

From this point of view, Ling Qixuan is really suitable. It's just that she still has a plan in her heart, because of the rumors of her life experience, this son was not close to her when he was a child, and he stayed at the border for those years, and he was even more angry with her. If this son successfully ascends to the throne, I am afraid she can only be a nominal queen mother.

Concubine Mo has worked hard all these years just to be the most honorable person one day. For now, only before Qi Xuan gets the news, he hurriedly pushes Yi'er onto the dragon chair, and then uses thunder to intimidate the ministers of the court, and holds the national seal in his hand before Qi Xuan returns, so even if he has any dissatisfaction, he will not fall into the reputation of a chaotic minister and thief, she thought so.

The mother's gaze on him did not retreat for a long time, how could Ling Yi not know what his mother was thinking, not to mention that he didn't have a year's thoughts about this throne, even if he did, he would not go to snatch it with his own brother, not to mention that he had won the trust of his father, and he had to guard this imperial city for him before the starling returned.

The rest of the people in the hall naturally also had an unobstructed view of the greed in Concubine Mo's eyes, which one was not a human-like character. Lan Junyao couldn't help frowning, turned her head to look at Ling Yi on the side, and when she saw a calm look on his face, she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, at this time, she still had the heart to think about him, it was really ridiculous, he was the son of his own father and enemy.

"Mother, the throne belongs to the starling. Ling Yi spoke lightly, but there was a firmness in his tone that could not be refused.

Lan Junyao knew his temperament for a long time, and he felt that such a decision was both reasonable and a little surprising. In history, how many brothers who are like siblings finally fought for the throne, I hope he can maintain such a pure heart until he grows old.

Dequan looked at Ling Yi, who was still tired on his face, and a look of distress flashed in his eyes. This child has been raised by him since he was a child, and the emperor also held him in the palm of his hand. Now he really lives up to the emperor's expectations, and for his thoughts, Dequan is also a little unbearable.

"Hey. Concubine Mo sighed heavily, her son was older, his wings were stiff, and even he didn't listen to his own words. She showed a compromise on her face, but what she planned behind her, she would definitely not tell the people in front of her.

Mo Shi's long sword was broken in the fight, his arms were empty, he leaned against the door with his arms crossed, he didn't look at Mo Guifei, how could the things that belonged to the master be easily taken away, if the master was really so incompetent, the emperor would naturally not choose the master to do this enviable position.

Several people in the hall had different ideas, but without exception, they did not take the three princes who surrounded the imperial city in their eyes. If the three princes who had worked hard to plot knew their thoughts, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would scatter a mouthful of old blood across the city wall, but he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to know in this life.

The expression on Concubine Mo's face also softened, she lived in this harem that eats people and does not spit out bones all the year round, even a dusty Bai Pa has a delicate mind. She didn't mention the succession to the throne again, but only asked Ling Yi in detail how she had spent the past few months and where she had gone.

At this moment, Ling Yi knew that there was no need to hide it from his mother, so he explained what happened to him in this period of time to his mother one by one. Inevitably provoked the distressed son's mother with tears in her eyes, but no one was distressed at this time when the pear blossoms brought rain.

Concubine Mo Yin Yin admonished, asked these people to help more of her son, and said that if she needed her, she could ask someone to go to the Mo Mansion to ask for help, but she couldn't resist the unanimous opposition of several people, and finally said that the women in the harem were handed over to her to take care of, so that they had the ability to turn the world upside down, and they couldn't turn over any moths in her hands.

Fang Cai's noisy scene had already provoked several people in the hall, and it was naturally gratifying to hear that Concubine Mo took the initiative to take over this troublesome errand. And thinking about it on the other hand, no matter which one is on the throne between Ling Yi and Ling Qixuan, it is only a matter of time before she is in charge of the harem, so why don't they do it?

In the middle of the night, the people who had been sleeping well in their dreams were gradually awakened from their good sleep one by one by the men and horses sent by the three princes, and they were still sleepy and looked at the soldiers who broke into their mansions, and they were fierce and vicious, and these people woke up.

Everyone felt as if they had returned to that night a few months ago, the same dark clouds covered the sun, and the moonlight was not clear. The smell of blood still seemed to echo in their noses, and they were stunned, and suddenly all their sleepiness was staggered.

Looking at the scene in disbelief, seeing that the family was being brought out of the inner chamber one by one, it was only then that they realized that what happened tonight was not a dream. Sen Leng's armor almost blended with the night, and they stood one by one with spears, without a single expression on their faces.

The previous lesson had taught them obedience, and the official robes were hurriedly draped over their bodies, and the whole person followed behind the Praetorian Guards like wilted eggplants, and the heaviness of their hearts was shown between their eyebrows, and the sound of footsteps fell on the cold and silent streets, which was a little out of place.

The barking of dogs sounded suddenly, and even the domestic animals felt a little uneasy, and they heard that there was movement everywhere in the capital, but there was no place for the people to go to the streets to take a look at the movement, and they learned the way to survive in the continuous turmoil. No matter how the sky above them changes, they remain loyal to the one in power.

The movement of the Praetorian Guards was very fast, and the moon moved to the center, and it was seen that they escorted the officials of the court and China to the foot of the imperial city in twos and threes. The closed palace door was in front of them, like a barrier that could not be climbed over.

This palace was built with waste of manpower and material resources, and how could it be allowed to be broken by people casually. In the past, the brightly lit imperial city was still prosperous, and there was a lantern every five steps away, but in a situation like tonight, this glorious imperial city was full of provocation in the eyes of the three princes.

His face, which has always been gentle in front of the world, is now full of haze, and the lonely moonlight, and the color of evil is even worse. The inner eunuch guarding his side squinted at his master, and hurriedly retracted his mind, this glance only felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, although he lacked the iron and blood of the battlefield, in the end, it was in the middle of the power of the big and small, and there was a meaning that could not be blasphemed.

It is only at this moment that people believe that these three princes and the eighth prince are from one family, and the so-called father must have his son, although he is not as good as the eighth prince, but how bad can he be.

"Your Highness, eat some. The waiter held the food box, held it up respectfully with both hands, and bowed his head again. Since today, His Highness has not eaten a meal, and if it goes on like this, how can His Highness's body hold on.

The third prince glanced at the vermilion lacquered log food box, two dishes of side dishes and a bowl of white rice porridge were still exuding heat, and the fragrance spread far away, but he felt that his stomach was tumbling, and he couldn't eat at all. Just as he was about to wave his hand and order him to retreat, another person beside him drove forward and persuaded him: "Your Highness, your body is important. ”

The anger between the three princes' eyebrows did not go away, and they were swept by his gaze, and everyone consciously looked at their noses, noses, mouths, and hearts. He ate two bites of white porridge and forced the nausea from his stomach. The waiter was also interested, and hurriedly retreated with the food box.

Except for the well-guarded guards, the walls seemed to be the same as before. However, this quiet atmosphere seems to be the prelude to the coming storm, in the harem, it should be a sweet dream but no one sleeps, these concubines are all concentrated in the Mo Guifei Palace, and the person who sits on the main seat and tastes tea is Mo Guifei.

The main hall was full of noise, and was full of the noisy quarrels of women, who seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their trip, and completely lost the restlessness and panic that had come in. Concubine Mo's half-closed eyes drained away all deep thought, she was indifferent to the noise in the hall, if it weren't for the action of tasting tea, it would almost make people think that she had fallen asleep.

Even the maidservant who was guarding Concubine Mo frowned slightly, she secretly looked at the face of the mother a few times, and saw that her master seemed to be really wholeheartedly tasting tea, and it was not easy to say anything, only folded her hands on her chest, looking at the huge main hall as noisy as a market.

The argument seemed to continue forever, but with a ringing sound at the main entrance of the Imperial City, the room fell silent. Looking at Concubine Mo with an unknown expression, the concubines thought of their actions, and suddenly felt a trace of coolness jump from the soles of their feet to their hearts.

The white porcelain peony cup fell on the table, and the lid of the cup hit the body, making a crisp sound, such a pattern should be unique to the queen alone, but no one cared about these at this time. The sound of siege continued to sound, and the aftershocks spread far away, and they had reached the backyard of this deep palace.

"Can you sisters come up with a result?" Concubine Mo's well-maintained plain fingers stroked the rim of the cup, the armor was decorated with some fine gems, and the armor longer than a finger rubbed against the porcelain cup, making a piercing sound.

The concubines felt the coolness of the late night, and when they thought of their actions, they couldn't help but turn pale, and even their bodies trembled slightly. People with a little brains can see what the current situation is, and they can't help frowning deeply under the gaze of Mo Guifei's inspection.

"As you sisters have seen, the emperor is suffering from a vicious disease, and the eleventh prince is day and night. It's contemptible that the ambition of the three princes and wolves actually took advantage of this intention to have breakfast and do things that were intolerable to heaven and earth. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I am a woman who also knows the truth that the skin does not exist and the hair will be attached. When Concubine Mo said this, she stopped her voice and took in all the reactions of everyone in the hall before continuing.

"Have you ever thought that there are a few of you who have the emperor's son, if the three princes succeed, when he sits on the throne, will you and my sister have a way to live?"

Listening to Mo Guifei's words, the rest of the women trembled in their hearts, among them, most of them were people who were not favored by the emperor, and what Mo Guifei said was true. According to the practice of this dynasty, if the emperor has any three long and two short, he will be buried with them, the childless concubines. But even if it weren't for the three princes sitting on that throne, would the eleventh prince be let them go when they ascended the throne?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but tremble slightly, although they were not favored by the emperor for many years, but in this palace, the degree of food and clothing was also excellent. They are used to tasting sweetness, and who is willing to go to the funeral with the emperor?

"This palace has made a vow with all the sisters here, if one day my emperor sits on the dragon chair, I will ask the emperor to leave a way back for the sisters. If this oath is violated, the palace will not die well, and the future generations of the palace will not be at peace. Seeing that it was time for this medicine to be ordered, Concubine Mo straightened her face and swore that she would say.

Without waiting for these women to react, she said again: "The hour is not early, sisters, go back and rest, there is the Royal Forest Army guarding, and the three princes will not be able to attack for a while." She waved her hand, and the palace people who were guarding the side immediately stepped forward and made a gesture of sending off guests, not allowing them to refuse.
