As early as half a month ago, a few days after the Laba Festival, Qiu Lin found the princess and informed the princess of this conspiracy against the Jiangnan regime and even Fang Yuanyuan himself.

The princess also secretly went to Fengyang and had a secret discussion with Fang Yuan. According to Fang Yuan's estimate, this court spy lurking in the palace actually revealed the entire rebellion plan to a Xiao Yuan who had entered the cold palace, and even the people who responded to the plan were clearly explained, which was very suspicious.

This spy is not worried about Xiao Yuan's leakage, and reports to Fang Yuan, causing this plan to fall short? Whether Xiao Yuan would poison Fang Yuan or not was an unpredictable unknown.

Hong Chengchou has formulated a seamless plan, how can there be such a loophole that could collapse the whole situation at any time?

Therefore, according to the judgment of Fang Yuan and the princess, what the hidden spy said should be false and real, and you must not believe it, nor can you believe it.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ma Lin went north to the south, Sun Chuanting went south to Fengyang, and even Zhao Ting's rebellion was, in Fang Yuan's view, completely credible and the main force of this rebellion. But to say that Zheng Zhibao of the Taihu Lake base and Qin Zhan of Minguang also participated in this rebellion, Fang Yuan didn't believe it very much.

This may be a trick of the court's spies, deliberately pulling the tiger skin to pull the banner, increase the momentum, and win over Xiaoyuan. It is more likely to disturb the hearts of the Jiangnan army, making Fang Yuan mistakenly believe that Qin Zhan and Zheng Zhibao have also defected, and they are suspicious of each other, and then take the opportunity to really persuade Zheng Zhibao to surrender.

Fang Yuan's countermeasure was to order Jingjie to secretly dike Sun Chuanting's movements in Fengyang Mansion, and immediately fight back once there was a military situation.

He also secretly transferred Zhang Ying to lead 20,000 elite Xuanjia troops and 5,000 special operations troops back to Suzhou to deploy defenses, waiting for Malin to throw himself into the net.

On Zheng Zhibao's side, Fang Yuan didn't have too many suspicions, and went directly to Zheng Zhibao's military camp, making Zheng Zhibao take a stand. Zheng Zhibao immediately expressed his loyalty to Fang Yuan, saying that he had no intention of rebellion, but was a spy who was indiscriminately biting. He even sent his entire family, Mrs. Zheng, three sons, and five daughters to the palace as hostages, and then sent them home after the rebellion was put down.

As for Zhao Ting, who was driven out of the palace and held a grudge, Fang Principle sent Ma Yishan to check, and once Zhao Ting really rebelled, he would join Zheng Zhibao to send troops to exterminate him.

At this point, Hong Chengchou carefully designed a rebellion, and Fang Yuan had already arranged corresponding countermeasures.

As Fang Yuan said, the only thing that is not certain is whether Xiao Yuan will really be poisoned. He and the princess arranged this banquet and invited Xiao Yuan to come, which was to give Xiao Yuan one last chance to mend his ways.

If Xiao Yuan really dared to poison Fang Yuan's wine, it would really be heartbroken and completely hopeless. Waiting for Xiaoyuan is bound to be given death, and together with Fang He, he was abolished, and he was sent to West Lake, Zhejiang, to be with Zhu Cizhi.

But Xiao Yuan not only didn't poison Fang Yuan, but even put the poison he carried with him in his wine glass and drank the wine himself, which was still much beyond Fang Yuan's expectations. Even the princess didn't expect that when the matter of Xiaoyuan came to an end, she still did not lose her conscience, adopted the conspiracy of the court spies, poisoned Fang Yuan, and chose to commit suicide.

Fang Yuan strode forward, hugged her in his arms, stroked her pink face full of tears, and complained, "Xiao Yuan, why are you drinking your own wine, I never thought of killing you." ”

Xiao Yuan's eyes were already teary, bursts of pain in his abdomen came, and his breathing gradually became poor, he reached out and stroked Fang Yuan's cheek, whimpering, "Childe, I said, without Childe, what's the use of winning the world?" I never thought about killing Childe. I only hope that Gongzi will not be angry with Fang He because of my sins! ”

Fang Yuan's tears of emotion also crossed his cheeks, falling on Xiao Yuan's face one by one.

Xiao Yuan turned his head sideways at the princess and said, "Princess, you let Fang He in!" ”

The princess glanced at the palace maid, and Wang Chengen immediately brought Fang He in. Fang He saw that his mother suddenly fell down, and before he knew what was going on, he rushed to Xiao Yuan and wiped the tears on her face for her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?!" ”

Xiao Yuan grabbed Fang He's hand and cried and said, "Fang He, you have to keep in mind that your mother participated in the rebellion and committed suicide in fear of sin, and she deserves it, and your father and princess are impartial in law enforcement." From now on, the princess will be your mother, hear me clearly?! ”

Seeing the painful look on her face, Fang He instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Xiao Yuan endured the pain in his abdomen, stretched out his hand to grab Fang He, forcibly pressed him to the ground and knelt down, panting and said, "Fang He, kowtow to the princess immediately, call the princess mother, call immediately!" ”

Xiao Yuan knew that he would die, and the only thing he was worried about was whether Fang He would be liquidated afterwards. The so-called mother is more precious than the son, and the son is more precious than the mother, and the only chance to keep Fang He is to make him no longer have any hostile attitude towards Fang Yuan and the princess, and honestly recognize the princess as his mother.

Fang He cried loudly, but he couldn't disobey his mother's strict orders, so he could only kowtow to the princess again and again, and kept shouting, "Mother! Mother! ”

Xiao Yuan said again, "Fang He, if I say something, you follow along." ”

"I sincerely recognize the princess as a mother, if the princess has an heir in the future, I would like to be a good brother and a good brother, and retire to the position of the king of the county, and there will be no two hearts!"

She is taking a solemn position to the princess, if the princess has no heirs, Fang He is the eldest son of the princess. If the princess has an heir in the future, Fang He will keep his duty and retire to the position of the prince of the county, and can no longer covet the position of the prince of the regent.

Although Fang He didn't know what his mother was talking about, he still read it according to the gourd painting, "I sincerely recognize the princess as my mother, if the princess has an heir in the future, I would like to be a good brother and a good brother, and retire to the position of the king of the county, and there will be no two hearts!" ”

The princess looked solemnly at the mother and son in front of her who pleaded with her, and she was also full of thoughts. Before, she was only thinking about how to win Xiao Yuan. Now, she really won, but suddenly she felt a burst of pity for the woman in front of her.

What Xiao Yuan did was just for the two most important men, one Fang Yuan and the other Fang He. If she swaps identities with Xiao Yuan, she will inevitably have the same choice as Xiao Yuan. She can stand on the shore and watch how Xiao Yuan walks on the road of no return step by step, because she is from a royal family and has no choice at all.

The princess got up slowly, walked to Xiao Yuan and Fang He, stretched out her hand to help Fang He, who was kowtowing, and stared at Xiao Yuan, who was lying in Fang Yuan's arms, who was already convulsing in pain, and asked lightly, "Mrs. Yuan, as long as you don't poison you, neither I nor the horse want your life." Tell me, why did you kill yourself by drinking?! ”

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to put his arm around the princess, supported herself, and leaned close to the princess's ear and said, "Princess, if I don't kill myself, the princess will always be on guard against Fang He." If I die, the princess should be relieved! ”

Xiao Yuan's words can be regarded as heart-to-heart words, as early as when she was in the cold palace, she was not only thinking about how to protect Fang He. She thinks that she and the princess are irreconcilable, and with her one day, the princess will inevitably find a way to abolish Fang He and choose another heir. Only if she is dead, maybe the princess and Fang Hejian will no longer be hostile to each other.

The princess sighed lightly, grabbed her hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Mrs. Yuan, people are dying and their words are good, let me ask you, do you really sincerely repent?!" ”

The pain in Xiao Yuan's abdomen continued, and his mind was also groggy, it was estimated that the limit was approaching, and he forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "There are times in life that you must have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it." Princess, I really admit defeat, I hope you treat Fang He well. He is innocent and should not be involved. ”

The princess let go of Xiao Yuan's arm, got up slowly, returned to the main seat, and said unhurriedly, "Mrs. Yuan, I said earlier, I only like to bring my own heirs, and I don't like to bring other people's heirs. Fang He, you still don't have to send it to me! ”

As soon as the princess said this, Xiao Yuan's heart also fell to the bottom, could it be that the princess was still resentful of the grievances between the two and Fang He's hostility. In the end, he still won't let Fang He go, and he has to kill Fang He?!
