To put it bluntly, it is a shady Jianghu organization, which is full of reckless people, mixed with fish and dragons, Mu Beituo is a dignified prince, how can he be eye-catching?

Dealing with these people, he simply felt that he was insulting himself.

However, Jiang Mingche's next sentence slapped him in the face.

"What if I can help you keep the forbidden army in the palace under control?"

Mu Beituo's right foot, which had just crossed the threshold, suddenly stopped, and then stepped back.

He turned around to look over, and all he saw was Jiang Mingche's still calm smile.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Mingche added: "It's not a secret, Kui Li, the commander of the palace forbidden army, is a person from my worry-free gate, as long as I give an order, let him open the palace gate to welcome the third prince into the palace, it will never be a problem." ”

"Are you serious?" Mu Beituo was both shocked and excited at this time.

Most of the Shangchun battalion is already under his control, if Kui Li is really a person from Wushangmen and can obey his orders, then the army will have nearly seven points of success.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, then there is no way to do it, but I want to remind the prince that the opportunity is just like this, if you miss today, there will never be another one in the future."

"Besides, you are not the only one who has the same idea as you now, if you refuse to cooperate with me, then I will find someone else."

After that, Jiang Mingche was about to leave.

Mu Beituo hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Everything is negotiable! ”

"Then the two conditions that I just put forward ......"

At present, the most important thing is to seize the throne, and everything else can be put aside, Mu Beituo gritted his teeth and said: "This king has promised you." ”

Jiang Mingche smiled with satisfaction: "That's fine." ”

Immediately, the three of them entered the study for further discussion.

Just when Mu Beituo was in a nervous and excited mood and was intensively preparing for a major event, the palace suddenly spread the news that the emperor's condition was gradually improving.

This is definitely not good news for Mu Beituo, who is about to launch a mutiny, and at the same time, he has huge doubts about the authenticity of this news.

The reason is very simple - the only person who can come into contact with the emperor every day today is Mu Liancheng alone.

Mu Beituo suspected that it was very likely that Mu Liancheng sensed something and deliberately released the news that the emperor was about to recover from his illness to scare him, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, the most important task at the moment is to find out the truth and falsehood.

Because the palace was very tightly guarded, Mu Beituo personally went to startle the snake, so he had to ask someone to bring news to Concubine Lan and ask her to go to the emperor's bedroom to find out the truth.

On the morning of this day, Concubine Lan swaggered towards Muzun's dormitory under the banner of visiting.

Originally, the concubines were not allowed to approach the emperor's bedroom casually, but because Concubine Lan had the right to control the harem and was strict on weekdays, the palace people were afraid of her and did not dare to stop her.

It wasn't until he arrived at the door of the dormitory that he was finally stopped by Li Cocoon.

As the head of the chamberlain, Li Cocoon's status seems to be lower than Concubine Lan, but her power is not less than her, and others have to tremble and be submissive in front of her, but he doesn't need it.

He straightened his waist and stood in front of Concubine Lan, and said with a smile: "Concubine Lan, the emperor has instructed that no one is allowed to enter to disturb, please stay." ”

Concubine Lan sneered: "Was it ordered by the emperor, or did you Gonggong Li order it?" This palace wants to go in to visit the emperor, but you have to stop it? ”

Li Cocoon calmly responded, bowed, and said, "How dare a slave fake the holy decree?" It was indeed ordered by the emperor himself, we can only act according to orders as slaves, otherwise we will be punished, and please don't embarrass the slaves. ”

"This palace is going to embarrass you today, get out of the way!" Concubine Lan suddenly raised her eyebrows, and she was about to break through.

Li Cocoon finally put away her smile and said solemnly: "Concubine Lan, if you don't listen to the advice, then the slave will only be offended!" ”

"Hmph, are you threatening Hongu?" Concubine Lan glanced at him with disdain, pushed him away, and went straight in.

Li Cocoon turned around and issued a warning: "Niangniang, you have to think clearly, your current behavior is equivalent to forcing the palace, once you annoy the emperor, you may not be able to afford the consequences." ”

These words successfully slowed down Concubine Lan's pace.

What a crime it is to force the palace, of course Concubine Lan knows that if the emperor is really sick and is about to recover, she will not only be punished for breaking in, but with the emperor's acumen, she will soon suspect Tuo'er.

However, if she didn't go in, how could she be sure of what the emperor was doing?

Just when Concubine Lan was hesitating, Mu Liancheng hurried over when he heard the news.

"Concubine Lan, are you going to break into the palace?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here," Concubine Lan smiled slightly, turned her head and retreated outside the palace gate.

"The palace has not seen the emperor for several days, and he is very worried, so he wants to come to visit, but who knows that Gonggong Li is not allowed to enter the palace, and the palace is arguing with him, which makes the prince smile."

Mu Liancheng walked to the door and blocked in front of Concubine Lan, this action seemed unintentional, but it was actually intentional, and Concubine Lan already had a certain guess in her heart.

"The emperor has already ordered that no one is allowed to enter except for the palace people who take care of their daily lives, and even the palace must be allowed to enter."

"Since the emperor hasn't summoned you to meet now, it's better not to mess around."

Concubine Lan secretly thought in her heart, the prince came in a hurry, and threatened her to leave, obviously afraid that she would go in and see things that she shouldn't see, and the emperor might be terminally ill and delirious.

In that case, she should go in and have a look.

"This palace cares about the emperor's dragon body, not to mess around, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing everything possible to obstruct me, shouldn't he collude with this slave and brew some conspiracy?"

The words "dog minion" hit his ears, and Li Cocoon's eyes were only slightly cold, and he continued to maintain a decent smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Niangniang really misunderstood, the slave is only loyal to the emperor, how can he collude with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You better go back, if the movement is too loud and disturbs the emperor who is recuperating inside, it will not be good. ”

"Don't scare the main palace!"

Concubine Lan shouted angrily, she was nearly ten percent sure of the previous guess in her heart, at this time she only waited to go in and check it out, and expose the prince's lies, when the news spread, people would naturally suspect that the prince controlled the seriously ill emperor and intended to seek power and usurp the throne.

The prestige of the crown prince will be greatly damaged, and Mu Beituo will take the opportunity to start an incident on the grounds of counterinsurgency, and he will have a perfect banner.

"Get out of the way!" Concubine Lan shouted, preparing to break into the palace again.

However, Mu Liancheng still did not move, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Lan wants to use force? I advise you not to, otherwise your identity as a killer who has been hidden for more than 20 years will be exposed. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Lan suddenly changed color and paused.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"You don't need to pretend in front of this palace, the things you did before you entered the palace, this palace has already found out clearly, including your old past with Helan Chi, and your son's life experience."

"Do you want everyone in the world to listen to your secrets?"

Concubine Lan suddenly felt cold in her limbs, and she withdrew two steps before gradually regaining her composure.

"It's nonsense! If His Royal Highness had evidence in his hand, he would have gone to the emperor to denounce me a long time ago, how could he wait until now? ”

Mu Liancheng hooked his lips and sneered, and said: "I have no conclusive evidence, but the emperor is very suspicious, if I go in and tell him now, do you guess he will believe it?" ”

"You ......"

Concubine Lan knew that she couldn't go any further, clenched her fists, glared at Mu Liancheng resentfully, and finally walked away.

Mu Liancheng turned back to Li Cocoon and said: "Thanks to Gonggong Li for sending someone to inform the palace in time, otherwise this play will not be sung, and the palace really wants to thank you." ”

"Whatever His Highness says, whether it is for the emperor or the country, this is what a slave should do." Li Cocoon replied with a smile.

"There will be a bigger turmoil next, and the emperor still needs his father-in-law to deal with it, and it's hard work."

"Your Highness, just rest assured, the minions will obey your arrangement."

Mu Liancheng nodded with satisfaction.

Li Cocoon is just a eunuch, how many people compliment him on the surface, but in fact they look down on him, and some people don't even bother to do the superficial politeness, and directly put disdain on their faces, such as Concubine Lan and her son Mu Beituo.

But they all forgot that although Li Cocoon was from a bad background, he was the most trusted and close person to the emperor, and it was extremely important to have a good relationship with him, in other words, that is, he must not offend this person.

Mu Liancheng saw this point quite thoroughly, in his opinion, Concubine Lan and Mu Beituo insulted Li Cocoon, it was really stupid.

For a long time, he was always polite to Li Cocoon, and occasionally even gave him some rare objects privately to win people's hearts.

Now, it's finally paying off.

Mu Beituo soon received a letter from Concubine Lan.

"The mother concubine said in the letter that it can be determined that the emperor has run out of oil and has run out of lamps, and he can live in a few days, and it is recommended that the king start an incident as soon as possible, and don't delay the opportunity."

"It seems that the news of the emperor's improvement in condition was indeed deliberately released by the prince," He Lanchi analyzed, "Lord, Concubine Lan is right, we should do it as soon as possible, if we wait for the prince to take precautions, it will be too late." ”

Mu Beituo bowed his head slightly, and looked at Jiang Mingche who was speechless next to him while thinking.

"Young Master Jiang, what do you think?"

"I've already met with Kui Li, and the forbidden army is almost all under control, so it's not a problem." Jiang Mingche replied slowly.

"However, I still don't think you can be reckless, the prince is very deep in the city, and there are many tricks, just based on Concubine Lan's judgment today, I can't be completely sure that the emperor's time is really short."

"Perhaps, this is a plan set up by the prince."

"You mean, the prince is deliberately guiding us?" Mu Beituo thought about it and sneered, "You can't help but overestimate him, no matter how smart he is, he wouldn't have thought that this king could control the forbidden army and do it so quickly." ”

Jiang Mingche raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Beituo, thinking to himself, this person is really arrogant and annoying, if it weren't for the future of Wuwumen, he really didn't want to cooperate with this kind of person.
