Chapter 376: Throwing Yourself into the Net
The actions of Du Ruosheng and King Dongchuan have already made Li Rutai suspicious, and there has been no news from the General's Mansion, so Li Rutai has already guessed the situation outside the palace.
It's just that he probably didn't expect things to be broken in the hands of a small slave, and the two adults, Taiwei and Si Nong, have not sent him a letter for a long time, and they are also temporarily stumped.
Li Rutai must strike first, and must not act passively.
He waited outside the main hall until Du Ruosheng came out of the hall.
When Du Ruosheng saw him, his face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Gonggong Li, my father called you in." Du Ruosheng stood in front of Li Rutai and said in a harmonious voice.
"Yes." Li Rutai said respectfully.
"Gonggong Li, how long have you been serving by your father's side?" Du Ruosheng suddenly asked again.
Li Rutai's original step suddenly stopped, and replied: "When the second princess was not born, the old slave was waiting by the king's side. ”
"It's been more than 20 years, Gonggong Li, my father has always trusted you, don't let him down." Du Ruosheng said lightly, and then walked away.
"The old slave strictly obeys the teachings of the second princess." Li Rutai's deep voice came from behind him.
Du Ruosheng sneered, followed the teachings, and then sped up his pace and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.
Looking at Du Ruosheng's disappearing back, Li Rutai's expression was complicated, revealing a hint of coldness, and then turned around and entered the hall.
When he came to the palace, King Dongchuan was standing in the hall with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty." Li Rutai called out respectfully.
King Dongchuan turned around and looked at Li Rutai, just like before, he still looked like he was respectful to himself and loyal to himself, but now he already has two hearts, King Dongchuan is angry and more disappointed and sighing, and now he can be as loyal as Gu Feng's father, and there is no longer a white head.
"Rutai, you have been following this king for more than 20 years, since Zizhong left, his son Gu Feng took over from Gu Jiajun and also took on the position of general to protect the country, these years, Dongchuan is also a prosperous era under his protection."
King Dongchuan said in a deep voice, Li Rutai listened silently, and secretly probed the deep meaning.
"Your Majesty, the son of General Gu is indeed a rare person." Li Rutai should be with him.
"It's a pity, this king finally failed Zizhong's trust." King Dongchuan lamented.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about General Gu's poisoning?" Li Rutai asked.
"Now because of Gu Feng's poisoning, many people with a heart are ready to move, and the hundreds of thousands of Gu Jiajun under him have made him the target of public criticism." King Dongchuan continued.
"The king doesn't have to worry too much, didn't these two princesses say that the poison in General Gu can be cured if they are cultivated well, and when General Gu recovers and regains his former prestige, those people will naturally not act rashly." Li Rutai said respectfully.
King Dongchuan laughed sarcastically, then shook his head and said, "Don't you really understand why Ruosheng said that?" If this was really the case, how could Gu Feng urgently summon Zhu Fangjie back. ”
Hearing what King Dongchuan said, a trace of cunning flashed in Li Rutai's eyes, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Majesty, is General Gu really?!" ”
Seeing his coy appearance, the king of Dongchuan suppressed the anger in his heart, and said worriedly: "More than a few years, but a few months." ”
"I didn't expect General Gu Feng to ..... What is the king's plan? Li Rutai sighed and asked.
"This king still wants to follow Gu Feng's intentions, Gu Jiajun is the only one left to him by his father, and it is up to him to decide how to settle it."
This decision of King Dongchuan was obviously not what Li Rutai expected.
"Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for saying something that shouldn't be said, even if this old general Gu was meritorious in protecting the lord back then, but the hundreds of thousands of Gu family troops left behind have been refused to be handed over to the king, which has caused people to be suspicious, and now this little general Gu has little time, if the king does not take this opportunity to take back this Gu family army, I am afraid that there will be more trouble!"
Hearing Li Rutai's words, King Dongchuan knew that the fish had been hooked, and Li Rutai didn't know that he was stepping into the danger that King Dongchuan had prepared for him step by step.
"No, if that's the case, wouldn't this king become a villain who takes advantage of people's danger!" The king of Dongchuan pretended to be inappropriate.
"The king is for Dongchuan, not for his own selfishness, how can General Gu feel inappropriate, not to mention that the king is not doing this hundreds of thousands of Gu family soldiers, and there are also people with bad intentions, why not take this opportunity to distract their minds." Li Rutai then said.
"Then what is the safe plan of Rutaike?" Clouds
"If the king can trust the old slave, the old slave will live up to the king's expectations." Li Rutai swore to answer.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, don't let this king down."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
King Dongchuan looked at Li Rutai's determined look when he left, and his heart was already indescribably angry, he didn't want to believe that a person who had served him wholeheartedly for more than 20 years could not resist the temptation of power.
After Li Rutai left the Qinzheng Palace, the king of Dongchuan immediately sent someone to follow secretly.
Li Rutai was very cautious along the way, and the people who followed him followed him until the dining room, and then he disappeared.
Because Li Rutai was thoughtful and extremely cunning, in order not to let him notice, he naturally couldn't follow too closely, and the people who were staring at him waited outside the dining room for a long time before they saw him come out, and he came out with the man who was responsible for the daily supply and demand of the palace meals.
Although I couldn't hear what the two of them said again, the person who was watching was sure that the relationship between this guy who could enter and leave the palace was by no means simple, and after Li Rutai left the dining room, everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
And the man followed the man, and as expected, the man left the palace and went straight to Lord Si Nong's mansion.
After confirming that everything was correct, the man returned to the palace and reported the matter back to the king of Dongchuan.
And everything was also expected by King Dongchuan.
"Keep an eye on that guy, presumably this person is the middleman of the collusion between Li Rutai and Taiwei Sinong."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
After Du Ruosheng returned to Yunqiu Palace, she instructed Qiuyun to sort out some clothes for her.
"Princess, are you going to leave the palace again? It's not going to leave Dongchuan, is it? ”
"No, Brother Gu Feng was injured recently, and I plan to go to the General's Mansion to take care of it."
"Princess, the slave maid heard that the general's mansion has not been peaceful recently, so you must be careful when you go." Today, there are more or less rumors in the palace, Qiu Yun has also heard one or two, and now when she hears that Du Ruosheng is going to the General's Mansion, she is also a little uneasy.
"Qiuyun, there are some things you don't understand, the queen mother will go out of the palace to pray for blessings in two days, you can go with the queen mother, I can't tell the queen mother about going to the general's mansion, do you know?" Du Ruosheng advised.
"Yes, Princess. But if the mother asks about you, I..."
"Okay Qiuyun, the queen mother won't ask much, remember what I said, take good care of the queen mother outside the palace."
Du Ruosheng briefly explained a few words, then took his things and left, leaving Qiuyun with a helpless face, but there was no other way.
If the matter can be closed during the time when the queen mother is out of the palace to pray for blessings, it will be very good for Du Ruosheng, and fortunately, Yuru's heart is no longer in the palace during these days, so it will be much easier for Du Ruosheng to act.
Du Ruosheng went out of the palace and went to find Yan Qinghan first, but when Yan Qinghan learned that she was going to live in the General's Mansion, she was extremely reluctant.
"It's good for you to live here, why do you want to live in the General's Mansion!?" Yan Qinghan snatched Du Ruosheng's bag and asked.
"This is my father's order, and of course I can't disobey it." Du Ruosheng snatched it back and said indifferently.
"There is Zhu Fangjie in this general's mansion, do you still need to protect it? Besides, what to do if you are in danger, your father will never mean that! Yan Qinghan retorted.
"I can only deal with what happens in the palace, and if I am here, it is no different from being in the palace."
"Okay, in that case, I'll be with you."
Du Ruosheng was helpless, and when he arrived, he said, "Whatever you want." And he left.
The result can also be imagined, Yan Qinghan lived in the general's mansion with Du Ruosheng.
Even if Du Ruosheng was extremely reluctant, but at this time, Du Ruosheng didn't have the heart to play with him, and she was not unacceptable to live under the same roof.
At least, Du Ruosheng always thought so before he settled down.
