Chapter 165: Planned seizure of the throne
"Do you want to know who secretly solved the lakeside palace maid for you on the day of the palace banquet?" The second prince squinted at her and asked disdainfully.
Lu Qiaohui's eyes lowered and she shook her head slightly.
"It's the prince. It is also this prince who leads the object of suspicion to the crown princess of Di Guo for you. ”
Lu Qiaohui's head hung lower.
"And the last time the eldest princess sued you for deceiving the monarch and deceiving the lord, you have no relationship with Mama Jiang, do you want to know why she took the risk to break the siege for you?"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Qiaohui's forehead, and she still shook her head.
"It's still the prince." The second prince said that the wind was light.
"These things that this prince did for you saved your life, not to mention, but also fought for you against the eldest princess who has been troublesome for you. Lu Qiaohui, have you ever thought about how to repay this prince? ”
The second prince changed the topic and began to ask for protection money.
Lu Qiaohui felt that the chair under her stomach was hot at this time, she couldn't sit still anymore, got up and stood in front of the second prince, bit her silver teeth, and leaned down:
"The second prince's kindness to Qiao Hui, the concubine will never forget it."
"Don't be vain. You also know that the emperor favors Prince Ning, and even my own son is willing to give up. Prince Ning is an illegitimate son who can't get on the stage, if Da Ming falls into his hands, won't the world be ashamed? So ......"
The second prince looked at Lu Qiaohui and said what he thought word by word: "I want you to help me win the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Lu Qiaohui learned that the second prince secretly helped her solve the problem, and knew that he would be conditional, but she didn't expect the second prince to let her help him rebel.
Lu Qiaohui was so shocked that her legs went weak and sat directly on the ground. "Second Prince...... Concubines...... The concubine is just a soft-spoken woman, how can she help the second prince achieve great things? The second prince asked the concubine to do other things within his ability, and the concubine was determined to die, but this matter was ...... Concubines can't do it. ”
The second prince knew that Lu Qiaohui would say this, so he was not angry, but relaxed his tone to comfort her:
"Don't worry, I won't let her fight and kill for me. You just need to control Shi Tianyi for me and make him honest and obedient. Just put him in my hands when I need it. ”
Lu Qiaohui's lips trembled, her face was as frightened as earth, and she stared at the second prince: "Could it be ...... Do you want to use the king of Yunnan and let the king of Yunnan send troops to your advantage? ”
The second prince sneered: "It is worthy of being the daughter of Lu Shangshu, and it is clear at all." ”
"The second prince is too elevated by the concubine, the concubine is just a little woman, and she has no ability to let the county king obey the arrangement of the concubine, in order not to delay the strategy of the second prince, please ask the second prince or another master."
Lu Qiaohui wanted to withdraw from self-protection.
But she didn't want the second prince to snort coldly at her, and fought back: "Don't think I don't know how you got Shi Tianyi, I can give you the medicine, you are only responsible for letting Shi Tianyi eat it." ”
"No, no. It's a rebellion, it's a rebellion, I can't do that, I can't ......"
Lu Qiaohui has done murder, and she has done whatever it takes to get Xiao Wenxuan. But what the second prince asked her to do was the crime of killing her head, she hadn't lived enough, she didn't want to die.
"Lu Qiaohui, don't forget your identity. I can turn you into Lu, and I can also uncover your disguise. At that time, you will lose your current identity and status, the light ones will be exiled to the bitter cold land and tortured, and the heavy ones will be beheaded all over the house, and the Lu family will not be left behind. I'll give you a day to think about it. ”
The second prince was annoyed, flicked his sleeves and walked to the door, paused for a moment, then turned back to her, leaned down and said in a cold voice.
"Don't try to run away, don't try to snitch. Don't think that if I'm not powerful now, I can't clean you up, I have a hundred ways to make you miserable. ”
After speaking, the second prince pulled out a hosta from Lu Qiaohui's head, turned it in his hand a few times, and then threw it on the ground, stepped forward, and the hosta broke into several pieces.
The second prince left, Lu Qiaohui was still slumped on the ground, she knew that she couldn't fight the second prince, but let her help the second prince rebel, Lu Qiaohui still didn't have the courage.
Time passed little by little, Rui'er outside the door couldn't hold back and finally pushed the door in with the courage, and saw Lu Qiaohui, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No one is allowed to say anything about today." Lu Qiaohui stared at the hosta on the ground.
Ruier understood and quickly kept silent.
Lu Qiaohui sat at the window and looked out the window, thinking a lot. The second prince now holds her lifeline, and if she does not comply, then she will face exile or death. If she assisted the second prince......
Lu Qiaohui stood up, she felt that she had no second way out except to obey the second prince.
Thinking about everything she had done before for the sake of power and power, Lu Qiaohui sighed deeply, what should be paid back is always to be returned.
The second prince came down from the upper floor, walked to the door, and looked around cautiously a few times before he and the guards around him got into the small alley on the side and slipped away quietly.
Then, in less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Qiaohui also came down from upstairs, got into the carriage where his subordinates were sitting, and quietly left.
Neither of the two groups of people expected that in a restaurant diagonally opposite the teahouse where they were located, Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan were seeing the situation on the opposite side clearly through the half-open window.
"The second prince and Lu Qiaohui got together, what can they do for?"
Su Muling stopped eating, holding her chin and wondering.
"You, you're not afraid of catching a cold on such a cold day."
Xiao Wenxuan got up and closed the window, and asked Pomegranate to call his buddy again.
The man came quickly, standing aside and listening to the instructions.
"These dishes are cold, you remove them all, and make another one as it is."
Su Muling hadn't left the window since she entered the house, it was almost winter at this time, and after opening the window for a while, the food didn't have much heat.
The guy looked at the table full of dishes that had barely been touched, and hurriedly asked someone to take them down.
"You'an, why hasn't you come back yet......
Su Muling got up and walked to the charcoal stove, stretching out two cold little hands to bake the fire.
"I'm back!"
Before Su Muling's words fell, the door rang, and Wuying flashed in with a cool air.
"Pomegranate, pour tea for Wuying." Su Muling hurriedly ordered.
The pomegranate slipped into the cup of tea and handed it to Wuying, who took it, thanked him, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Lord, princess. The subordinates have figured it out. ”
Shadowless put down the cup and touched his mouth, excitedly saying the amazing secret he had just overheard:
“…… The second prince wants to rebel, and his subordinates are hiding next door, and the wall is not completely soundproof. So the words of the second prince and Lu Qiaohui's subordinates listened to it. ”
"The second prince is too bold, isn't he?" Daring to use Shi Tianyi to force the King of Yunnan to help him rebel, Su Muling looked at Xiao Wenxuan with wide eyes.
Xiao Wenxuan was silent, his brows furrowed.
The second prince robbed and killed the Di delegation, destroying the harmonious relationship between the two countries for decades, and it stands to reason that he should be stripped of his title and demoted to a concubine. But Concubine Rong only used a few words to save the second prince.
As the saying goes, the prince who breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people is afraid that it is just for fun. Now the second prince is not dead, and he is so bold that he wants to directly seize power...... Xiao Wenxuan wanted to turn a blind eye, but he was invisibly worried about the emperor's safety, and wanted to remind the emperor that the second prince wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, and was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand him and have other intentions.
Su Muling guessed the scruples in his heart, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, strolled to Xiao Wenxuan's side, she leaned down and whispered a few words in Xiao Wenxuan's ear, Xiao Wenxuan raised her head and took her little hand, which already had a temperature, smiled and nodded.
In the evening of the same day, Lu Qiaohui was secretly appointed by the third prince in a mansion. After coming out of the house, Lu Qiaohui was obviously in a much better mood, and she was also interested in going to Su Muling's Julong Zhai to eat a table of five hundred taels.
……
The next day, Lu Qiaohui came to the teahouse as promised.
It was still that room, the second prince was dressed as an ordinary person and sat on the window chair, crossed Erlang's legs, put one hand on the arm of the chair, and gently knocked his right index finger like a chicken pecking rice, to temporarily feel his introverted nervousness.
"Got it figured?" The second prince stared at Lu Qiaohui's somewhat evasive eyes and asked.
Lu Qiaohui bit her lip and nodded back: "The concubine has thought about it, the concubine is willing to help the second prince control the king of Yunnan County and help the second prince achieve great things." ”
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was much gentler.
"That's right. People go to high places. Instead of living trembling like this, it is better to take the risk. In the future, when the prince sits on the dragon chair, he will naturally not be able to treat you badly. Don't you look down on Prince and Princess Ning? The prince found a reason to strip them of their titles and sent them to the frontier desert, never allowing them to leave there. The second prince's eyes lit up, as if the dragon chair was beckoning to him.
The second prince stood up proudly, took out a sealed pill from his purse and put it on the table in front of him. Staring at Lu Qiaohui, he whispered:
"There is also the king of Yunnan County, this prince can make him a prince, and you are a princess."
Lu Qiaohui picked up the pill from the table and held it in the palm of her hand, plucked up her courage and asked again: "Second prince, if, if the king of Yunnan refuses to send troops to risk helping you, what will you do?" ”
"Won't help this prince? Shi Tianyi, the only son of the king of Yunnan, is in the hands of this prince, unless he wants to be the queen. The second prince replied coldly with a look of imminent victory.
"Second prince, don't forget, the king of Yunnan has only reached the age of not being confused, and it is not impossible to give up the king of the county and have a few more sons."
"How many more? I'm afraid that he has a life to live or not. If this prince gives him the opportunity to assist this prince in ascending to the throne, he will naturally give him benefits. If he doesn't agree, then don't blame the prince for being ruthless. ”
The second prince's eyes flashed with a few fierce colors. Lu Qiaohui was so frightened that she couldn't help but take a step back.
"The second prince wants to kill the king of Yunnan, and the emperor will not spare you."
"Humph!" The second prince snorted coldly. In the end, it is a woman, and she has a short view.
"It is an open secret that the father trapped Shi Tianyi in the capital to prevent the king of Yunnan. As soon as the king of Yunnan died, everyone would think that his father had done it, and no one would suspect that the prince had done it. At that time, it was the father who was anxious, not the prince who was trapped in the prince's mansion by him and could not go out. The second prince thought that his plan was seamless. He is now grounded, and no one will suspect a person who does not leave the door.
"Your plan is really good, second, I really underestimate you!"
A majestic voice pierced the second prince's ears with the sound of the door opening.
The second prince shivered violently, and before he could see the person who came, his legs fell to his knees.
