Chapter 30: Conspiracy
There is no one who talks about this matter more than ordinary people on the streets.
All of a sudden, the deeds of Tuoba truss were spread everywhere in the capital.
Even the people of Jiangnan didn't expect that the person who could spend the hardships with them was the former prince whom the emperor once loved the most.
In the alleyway of the teahouse, several people talked at the dining table after eating.
"This time to cure the plague, this waste prince has really made a great contribution! If it weren't for him, my distant cousin wouldn't have escaped! β
"yes, yes! I don't know why such a talent is ...... It's ...... to abolish him."
"It is said that a companion is like a tiger, who knows what I think above? Alasβ"
Their words were all heard word by word by the crown prince Tuoba Yu on the side.
His hand gripping the cup tightened, and the gloom between his brows grew thicker.
What a tuoba truss, it's really ghostly!
No matter what, he is the rightful prince now, but all his good reputation has been robbed by that waste, which makes him feel angry in his heart.
He slammed the cup in his hand on the table, and left without saying a word, with a gloomy face.
His entourage paid and silently followed him.
The crown prince did not go back to the middle palace directly, but went directly to the palace to meet the queen.
When he came, he was furious, his face was very gloomy, and he was so frightened that he and the palace maids in the Kun Palace trembled.
The queen was lying on the chaise longue, holding a bamboo slip in her left hand and fiddling with Buddhist beads in her right hand.
Tuoba Yu walked in front of her, and she just raised her eyes with an indifferent face, "How can the emperor have time to see the palace today?"
Tuoba Yu crossed his waist in front of her, walked back and forth twice irritably, and then brushed his sleeves and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen is very irritable now, do you know what is circulating among the people now?" They are all talking about how good Tuoba Huan's waste prince is, and they almost say that I am not worthy of being this prince! β
Naturally, the queen heard about it.
But after all, she is the queen, and she is the one who stands out among the women in the harem and then sits in this position.
I have seen strong winds and waves, how can I be confused by some rumors.
She closed her eyes, her eyes dark: "So what, he's just a wasted prince with no rights." It just so happens that I am in Jiangnan at this moment, and it is normal for something to happen. Even if everything is to be transmitted back to the capital, it will take a certain amount of time. β
"The queen mother means ......," Tuoba Yu said with a frown.
"Isn't he in the limelight? Then let's put some other news out, so that they can make another wave of limelight," the queen put down the bamboo slip in her hand, raised her hand to him, and motioned for him to come over, "We just need to ......"
In just three days, he arranged everything.
Suddenly it came out in the palace that the queen mother suddenly had palpitations when she woke up in the middle of the night, and it was like this for several days.
Out of concern for the empress and the fear that the palace was really haunted, the emperor specially decreed that a famous celestial master should come and do it.
I saw that the Heavenly Master was dressed in Taoist clothes, holding a peachwood sword in his right hand and a paper talisman in his left hand, jumping left and right, wandering around the place where he was doing, and there were words in his mouth.
Finally, the Celestial Master held the peachwood sword in front of him, his eyes closed, and his mouth closed one by one, saying words that were difficult to understand.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and he took a step back tremblingly.
As soon as his legs were weak, he sat on the ground, and the peachwood sword in his hand fell to the ground with him.
His whole person looked terrified, which made the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master? Celestial Master, what's wrong with you? What is the result? The queen looked very worried and stepped forward.
The Heavenly Master trembled and got up: "This ...... I don't dare to say this! β
Seeing this, the emperor frowned, waved his big hand, and said nonchalantly: "What don't you dare to say, what does the will of heaven say, you just say it, I will never blame." β
After receiving the emperor's promise, the Heavenly Master trembled and said: "Return, return to the emperor, the will of heaven says that the country will be in great trouble!" If you don't deal with it in time, I am afraid that there will be a danger of destroying the country! β
Annihilation is the last word that every emperor wants to hear.
Hearing the Heavenly Master say this, the emperor instantly became nervous.
The Emperor glared angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about?" If you feel that you are concealing, it is a crime of deception! Annihilation? If the country is prosperous, how can it be destroyed? β
"Your Majesty, please Mingjian! If although the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is still a hidden danger in it, and this hidden danger is not removed, it will always be an uneasy factor! β
"Hidden dangers? What are the hidden dangers? β
"I don't know if there is any change in the pattern of this Beijing, some people have returned from afar, and the positions they embody are all in the southeast corner."
β¦β¦
Li Changge, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, didn't know what was happening in the capital palace at this time.
But Tuoba Truss always pays attention to every move in the palace, and reports to him every day about the various situations that happen every day.
If this kind of thing happens at this juncture, it is natural that it is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let go of one easily.
Only the General's Mansion is eligible.
Li Ke has been saying that she is sick and has not been out of the door since she left, but he can't hide it now.
The emperor actually sent the Imperial Forest Army to press her back to the capital.
Although she was puzzled, thinking that the plague in Jiangnan had been solved and it was only a matter of time before she returned to Beijing, Li Changge did not resist and obediently asked the Imperial Forest Army to bring her back to the capital.
No one dared to do anything to her until everything came to light.
Tuoba Truss also followed the Imperial Forest Army back to the capital.
After all, the destruction of the country is only a one-sided statement of the Heavenly Master, and there is no actual evidence, and Li Changge is the daughter of a general, so the emperor can only lock her up in the general's mansion and put her under house arrest.
There were many more people in front of her compound, who were in charge of monitoring her every move.
However, these people did not block her communication with the outside world, it was still easy for her to inquire about any news, and soon, she knew about the Heavenly Master's methods.
The queen's son is the current crown prince, and he can know what happened without thinking about it.
"Is the Celestial Master invited by the Empress? I didn't expect the emperor to listen to such vulgar words, it seems that he is really old and confused. But I won't let you get your wish! Li Changge looked out the window and muttered to himself.
Empress...... Prince......
Just based on one side, she dared to start without a little evidence, and I think these two powerful people are not as stable as she thinks......
If you don't block yourself from communicating with the outside world, do you want to leave evidence to catch her?
Scold...... It's a bit of a brain, but unfortunately, they chose the wrong person to deal with.
Such a big event, Li Yange learned that this was the masterpiece of the queen and the crown prince, and she couldn't suppress her emotions with joy.
So when she heard that the queen was holding a banquet in the palace, Li Yange was ecstatic and dressed up and entered the palace to attend the banquet.
This palace banquet was held by the queen on the pretext of exorcising evil spirits, and in fact, the emperor wanted to test the attitude of the general's mansion.
Although the emperor had issued an order to block all news in those days, the momentum was too great in the end.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, Li Changge has just been arrested back to Beijing, and the news has spread all over the streets and alleys on the other side.
As it turned out, the queen's strategy was no problem.
Now the people are discussing the matter of the daughter of the general's mansion, and there is no mention of Tuoba Truss curing the plague at all.
Even if it is to be mentioned, it means that as soon as she returned to the capital, disasters began to occur in Jiangnan.
Tuoba Huan, as her nominal marriage husband, is also the object of criticism.
The banquet was held in the garden of the queen's bedchamber.
In this banquet, the queen invited only some children from the main house in the family, and a few more favored princes.
In this way, these ladies are also more open-minded, and the wine that they usually dare not drink at the banquet is now drunk.
Li Yanran was extremely happy because of Li Changge's matter, and drank the wine one by one, although the maid kept persuading her not to drink anymore, Li Yanran also turned a deaf ear.
She broke away from the maid and pulled her hand: "Leave me alone, let me drink!" How can I stop when I encounter such a happy thing once in a while? β
Then she drank another glass of wine, wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and felt that this was not enjoyable, so she picked up the wine jug on the table and put it in her mouth.
It's also strange to say that after drinking so much wine, I didn't feel drunk at all.
In the end, it was because she drank too much alcohol and her stomach hurt.
She held the maid's hand with a "oops", said hello to the queen and walked towards the thatched house in the palace.
Li Yange came out after squatting inside, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the maid standing not far away with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, waiting for her.
Looking at the maid's docile appearance, Li Yange felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, she walked over and raised the maid's face.
"Who do you want to show that meek look? Do you want to seduce a man behind my back, I tell you, don't even think about it! β
Li Yange's words directly confused the maid, and she looked at Li Yange with a confused expression.
Li Yange was even more annoyed by her confused eyes, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, and with a "tearing" sound, the outermost layer of the maid's clothes was torn open by her.
The maid was startled, and wanted to reach out and push Li Yange away, but she was afraid of hurting her.
If it hurts her, she won't let her go!
The outstretched hand stopped in the air.
Taking advantage of the maid's hesitation, Li Yange stripped off the maid's clothes with both hands.
The maid's white body was exposed, and the two hills that stood out were so eye-catching.
Li Yange raised her hand and pinched the softness fiercely, and a moan overflowed from the maid's mouth, which made Li Yange excited, and quickly took off her underwear with the other hand.
The maid's skin was completely bare in the air.
The maid was usually bullied by Li Yange, and her snow-white skin was covered with bruises and purple scars, and even some of the scars had scabs, which looked a little shocking.
