Chapter 178: Infiltrating the capital
Xue Muyan was on the side, the palace people kept coming in and out, the emperor kept vomiting blood because he was worried, he had heard Lu Xiaowan say that it was a normal phenomenon, and it was like this in the end.
"Father, you better rest, the prince won't come." He pulled the quilt for the emperor, and according to the time calculation, there was at least a month, and the prince had already let people surround the capital, and the Yulin army couldn't stop it.
The emperor still had a thought in his heart, holding Xue Muyan's hand, it seemed that he was begging for mercy, but it was just to avoid his attack, and he felt that he was a great failure in his life without saying a word.
"At the last moment, if you don't hand over power, the last position must be the prince's, and it is impossible in front of you." I was depressed, and the palace maid who sent Lu Xiaowan away has not received a letter so far, and I don't know whether the situation is good or bad.
The emperor's illness is fluctuating, he can't leave the palace, and the same is true of the people who sent him, and the secret guards in his hands are not in the palace.
"It's too late for you to come back, I was going to take you back a few years ago, you were still young at that time, but that family disappeared overnight, and I sent a number of secret guards to look for you but didn't find it," the emperor does not regret his choice now, Xue Muyan's future life will be even more sad, the ministers below have secretly formed a gang, it is better to be there by himself, but his mother does not understand.
It is true that he has not completely touched the power, but he has seen the suffering of the common people, and in the future, compared to the prince, he is the one who will implement benevolent government.
"Isn't it too late for Your Majesty to tell me this?"
"It's late, I also know that the prince lost, you remember that after you go to the court, don't care about the voice of the world, there is a depreciation of the wealthy family, but whoever dares to persuade all of them is killed, although your reputation is not good, but the court will be obedient a lot, as for the generals in your hands, I heard that they are all selected from the people who can be used before, compared to the background, what they can do is to attach themselves to you."
Every time the emperor said a word, he would gasp for a while, and his body was very weak, so it was rare to be able to do it, so Xue Muyan moved the box on the left, which contained a list, which was originally intended to be handed over to the crown prince.
"All the people above can't stay, especially the people of the Ning family, they have been in the palace and the capital for many years, and you will inevitably be overtaken by them when you sit on the throne in the future, although Ning Hao is my teacher, it is difficult to say in the world, if you don't kill it, you must not stay in the capital."
He did too many things secretly, entrapping a few new champions, and in the end he couldn't escape their poisonous hands, and now his children can do their best.
Concubine Ning Guifei sat in her own bedroom, tasting dinner, and several palace girls were afraid that something would happen in the emperor's bedroom.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty has always acted unreasonably, should we go over and take a look?"
The emperor must be a good emperor, she grew up with him since she was a child, Xue Muyan wants to ascend to that position, and then sit on it firmly, it is impossible without the emperor's teachings, especially some people in her mother's family are restless.
"No, since Your Majesty is willing to talk to him, then say it well, we don't have to bother, you go and help the Shangyi Bureau prepare mourning clothes, I have been fighting with her for a lifetime, let's let her go in style."
When she entered the palace, she was also a girl with fantasies, and the queen also regarded her as a confidant, and even felt that the two could be like this for the rest of their lives.
"Yes, sissy." The mirror was empty, and the prince outside the city gate heard the news of the queen's death, and he was full of joy, he waited too long, and finally she died.
"Did Concubine Ning Guifei torture her well when she died?"
"Your Highness, it's not good to ask this at this time, or wait until we return to the palace, let's find someone in the know and interrogate it well."
The housekeeper already has a new calculation in his heart, and the palace has fallen, so someone outside will secretly send a letter in, and if he catches it, maybe there is a solution to this situation.
"Your Highness, I heard that the general of the southeast garrison, Chen Shaofu, and his family were all killed, and now the military power has fallen into the hands of General Fu, who has been in the hands of Mr. Ning for several years."
The defeat was like a mountain, the prince stumbled and almost died, the mother's family had an accident, the military power was seized, it was almost an overnight thing, Lin Xiang was also very helpless, how could there be a case of Chen Shaofu being killed at the last moment?
"Xiangye, I looked at the traces of the scene, it seems that I did it at night,"
"What did you say?" Lin Xiang killed Lu Xiaowan's child, and Yetian secretly killed Chen Shaofu's family, in series, he seemed to be a little relieved, and he was finally able to save one person.
However, the person behind it has not yet appeared, and the prince can't know the news, Yetian must be secretly sent away, he thinks that it is very common, and the secret grid under the Xiangfu can save people.
"I asked you if you poked out anything about the night?"
The dark guard nodded, indicating that the prince had received the news, and it would not be long before Yetian would return, and the dark guards left in the capital would kill him mercilessly.
"Zhu Ran, do you know why I'm always special about Yetian?"
Zhu Ran shook his head, he really knew very well in his heart, because Yetian was Xiangye's child, and after he was sent to Xue Muyan, he had not received any news from Yetian.
"Since you don't know, you will never know, from now on, you will pretend to betray me, tonight I want you to intercept him, send him to the secret compartment of the Prime Minister's Mansion, find a suitable opportunity to send him to the palace tomorrow night, remember that it is the cold palace."
Those unfavored concubines stayed in the most lax place, and after the mutiny, Yetian must have been able to escape on his own, and no one would know his identity at that time.
"I've been giving face to others all my life, slapping people one by one, Zhu Ran, you haven't appeared, stay in the cold palace, and in the future, with him out of the palace, find a chance to leave!"
Under the dark night, the lights on the gate of the capital have not been extinguished, and ordinary people also know that something is going to happen, and the news of the queen's death has spread throughout the capital, and they all know that the prince's last reliance is gone.
Ning Hao didn't enter the palace for a long time, he didn't want to see his daughter, Xue Muyan's loss was difficult to escape, I am afraid that at this moment, Ning Guifei will also think about how to get rid of herself.
"Grandpa, Xiao Wan said that she has returned to the town, and she will go to Biansai early tomorrow morning, and she will not come back in the future."
Ning Xiuyuan talked nonsense one by one, and today he found out that all of Lu Xiaowan's industries had little to do with him, and her eyeliner was everywhere in the capital.
"You were also tricked by her?"
"No, I plan to be a courtier in the future, so I have to look like a courtier, and the business in my hand sounds like I came to seize power, which is not suitable."
Ning Hao smiled, and took out a very peculiar thing from the mechanism behind him, the pattern on it, Ning Xiuyuan had never seen it.
"What, I've never seen it before?"
"You take over the business as soon as possible, in the future, Lu Xiaowan and you will be from two countries, and maybe one day we will meet each other." He didn't remember the events of decades ago very clearly, but he finally had some impressions, and he still had some memory of the words that the woman had instructed.
Ning Xiuyuan has never checked Lu Xiaowan's identity, and now that he is surprised when he hears it, he can deal with it as if it didn't happen, and his grandfather won't follow it.
"Those things can't be brought back by her, remember!"
"Grandpa, things are not important, talent is the most important, the agency has exhausted all the people in my hands and withdrawn, Xue Muyan is estimated to be a puppet after he goes up.
The power in Lu Xiaowan's hands is another matter, she will not hand over her business name, Ning Xiuyuan was unhappy, he ate snacks there alone, threw them out there, and ate some things that he didn't know what he didn't know.
"Shopkeeper Su's business in the store hasn't been too good recently, everyone who comes here has been remembered for me, and I'll look for you if something happens." After a few fried chickens, I saw a bunch of pregnant women listening to lectures in the pharmacy, and the family also had them.
"Young master, the meaning of the master is already obvious." From beginning to end, Xue Muyan's grandson is not a good thing, he has secretly circled so many people, once he starts to do it, I am afraid that the old minister will have to leave halfway.
At this time, Lu Xiaowan did not leave the capital, Siwan had already inquired about what was going on, and she would be able to secretly see Xue Muyan early tomorrow morning.
"Girl, Young Master Ning seems to want to see you, and his eyes haven't left here just now." Siwan looked in the direction of the pharmacy, where her eyes never left.
Lu Xiaowan put down the yarn of the hat in an instant, and went back to the inn alone, Siwan went with him, and all kinds of struggles in the capital had begun.
"The queen is gone, there is no condolence in the city, it seems that the emperor is also happy."
"The girl has ears on the wall, please eat some snacks, and the slave and maid ordered some soup to be drunk, and I will drink more later." The maid next to her didn't understand how a day and night could be easily replaced.
There is still a lot of money in the account this year, and Lu Xiaowan has already found a way out of the capital, and in a few days she will be able to go back and completely take down a few of the bandit mountains.
"Did I ask you to tune the person?" Attacking the Bandit Mountain and completely taking that road, three points in the world cannot be given to only a few people in the palace, she also has a share, and half of the silver in Xue Muyan's hand in the future will always be hers.
The shopkeeper of the inn is in charge of the business bureau, and he sent a few account books, and the news was naturally handed in by him, Siwan secretly didn't know how many times he stopped it, but it was useless.
"The owner, several bandits on the mountain have been secretly bought, and the original anti-Japanese soldiers in the southeast have also been accepted, even if the government does not have anyone this time, we can clear the road on the bandit mountain."
After Lu Xiaowan nodded, she wrote a long letter and asked someone to send it to the Chen family, saying that she was willing to pretend to be the princess of a neighboring country and participate in the struggle for power.
"The queen mother is dead, this is a superfluous move, won't it?"
"Nothing, she's dead, the people left behind need new backers, the princess of the neighboring country, the former county lord, and possibly the future queen, do you guess they will give up the prince?"
