Chapter 028: A scheming secret fight
"Qi Yu Lan Guifei, subordinates live up to the trust of the mother, two days ago, the use of the thunder seamlessly ignited the queen mother's palace, after two days of careful search, from the scene of the collapsed ruins, finally found the burned unrecognizable body and the relics on the body, confirmed by the pavilion master, it is the queen mother wearing the lovesick tears jade pendant. was burned to death together with the queen's personal maid Yu Die. ”
In the palace of Concubine Lan, a woman dressed in black and wearing a faceless mask knelt on one knee, presented a half-blackened and broken jade pendant with both hands, and reported respectfully.
"Get up and talk, Hongu has been waiting for two days, and finally brought me good news. The master of the Imperial Pavilion is the confidant of the palace, and since she has confirmed it, the palace will not look at it, so as not to get the bad luck of the dead. Ghost Rose, you are the most trusted leader of the ghost guards around the palace, and you have indeed not disappointed the palace. You've worked hard these days, you've done a good job in this matter, go to the Imperial Pavilion to pick out a favorite ornament, it's a reward for you this time. By the way, the news that Nalan Qiqing was burned to death hasn't reached the emperor who is about to return to the palace, right? ”
Lan Guifei glanced at the charred jade pendant with some disgust, frowned and said.
"Hui Niangniang, because before the incident, most of the palace maids and guards in the queen's palace happened to follow the edict of the queen's personal maid Yudie, looking for the lotus cat that the queen had raised for many years in the harem, and the subordinates took the opportunity to detain these palace maids and guards on the grounds of disturbing the tranquility of the harem and trespassing on the palace of the queens. After that, I brought a group of confidants and palace maids and guards to surround the palace of the queen mother in the name of fighting the fire and cleaning up the scene, so except for the Nangong Xiangye's mansion, the news has not yet reached the palace. ”
Ghost Rose stood up and told her truthfully.
"Well done! Now that the queen has returned to heaven, and the rain butterfly who conveyed Yi's decree has also died without proof, is it possible that these so-called palace maids and guards who have served Yi's decree are falsely spreading Yi's decree and plotting against him? You know what to do, right? Haha......"
Lan Guifei hinted with a grim face.
"The subordinates know what to do with these palace maids and guards, please rest assured. It's just that the subordinates don't understand why they only notify the Prime Minister's Mansion, but hide it from the emperor and not report it? Because according to convention, if such a big thing happens, the emperor should be notified as soon as possible? ”
Ghost Rose asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you say that the emperor was bent on letting Nalan Qiqing get pregnant and give birth to the Son of Heaven? If the emperor learns that this slut is dead, he will be suspicious, and maybe he will deliberately hide the Lotus Son in secret, which will ruin the palace's plan. Because the goal of this palace is to get the Lotus Son of Heaven by any means, even if it is the emperor under house arrest, I want to get it! Anyway, the emperor has already recognized his relatives for the first time, so as long as I am pregnant with the Lotus Son of Heaven, I will be the future queen mother, and at that time, the emperor will be useless to the palace. ”
Lan Guifei said ambitiously.
"Could it be that after the emperor enters the palace this time, the mother will put the emperor under house arrest? And the secret letter sent to Xiangye's mansion by his subordinates before asked Xiangye to cooperate with you to put the emperor under house arrest? ”
Ghost Rose suddenly understood Lan Guifei's intentions and tried to analyze.
"Haha...... You are worthy of being a henchman cultivated by this palace, and you have won the heart of this palace! You know? The palace has already sent someone to send a secret letter to the Xiangye Mansion, asking him to prepare a copy of the emperor's mind because the queen mother died suddenly, and she was in a trance, and she was temporarily unable to deal with the government. And began to win over the ministers who belonged to us, as for when it will be played, we will wait for the notice of the palace. So, next, your task is to arrange for all the ghost guards in the palace to be on standby at any time, once the emperor returns to the palace, cooperate with the palace to put the emperor under house arrest, and get the Lotus Son of Heaven! At that time, the whole world will be the mourning family, with the queen mother of the mourning family to protect you, you will also soar, just wait to enjoy the world with this palace! Haha......"
Lan Guifei said proudly, it seemed that she was already sitting on the high dragon chair, and the phoenix was in the world.
"My subordinates wish the Queen Mother her wish to come true as soon as possible, and the phoenix will be in the world! The subordinates must have no two hearts, swear allegiance to the Queen Mother! ”
Ghost Rose got down on one knee again and said with a determined expression.
"Good! Even if you understand the truth that good birds choose trees to perch, this palace will naturally not treat you badly. There should be a few more hours, and the emperor should also return to the palace, and everything is under the control of this palace. Go down, feel free to report any news to this palace! ”
Concubine Lan said with relief, and after speaking, she waved her hand and signaled that Ghost Rose could retreat.
"Yes! Subordinates retire! ”
Ghost Rose said respectfully, got up after speaking, took three steps back, wiped her face, and disappeared very strangely......
……
"Bang Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
"Click......"
"Stupid woman! What a stupid woman! Ah......h
In the underground secret cave of the Imperial City Nangong Prime Minister's Mansion, a man wearing a dragon robe, with an angry face, roaring and falling when he saw something, frightened all the palace maids and guards around, this person was the prime minister of the dynasty Nangong Mo.
Many years ago, when he accidentally discovered that there was a natural cave under the Xiangfu, it was transformed into a secret underground palace, although the area is not very large, but the layout inside is completely built according to the standards of the core part of the palace, as for those craftsmen who were captured, after the completion of this underground palace, they were secretly executed.
Every night, Nangong Mo has to come here to change into a dragon robe and feel the taste of domination in the world, so as to satisfy his ever-expanding vanity.
He has been dreaming of this emperor for many years, and he has been working hard for this goal, he is decisive, ruthless, and quite scheming, so so far, everything is under his control.
However, Concubine Lan, that is, his own sister Nangong Lan's secret letter, completely disrupted his plan and deployment, because Nangong Mo never expected that the most important chess piece for him, Nalan Qiqing, was actually burned to death by his own sister!
And what made him even more angry was that his sister actually wanted to listen to the government through the curtain and interfere in the government affairs, and even did not rule out the possibility of becoming a female emperor in the future!
This makes him embarrassed!
In other words, his dream of dominating the world in the future is very likely to be ruined in the hands of his own sister!
This is by no means an outcome that he can accept, so can he not be angry!
"Xiangye is angry, you have read this secret letter, you haven't eaten for two days, it's important to take care of the dragon's body! The emperor is about to arrive at the city gate, do you want to go and pick up the driver in person? ”
An old housekeeper who was trembling with fear hesitated again and again, but still asked Nangong Mo for instructions.
"What? The emperor is almost at the city gate? Bastard, just tell me now, don't you change my clothes soon! Do you want me to wear this to pick up the driver? That thing around your neck looks like it's time for a different place, right? Well! ”
When Nangong Mo heard this, he yelled even more angrily.
"Damn it, old slave, I'll change your clothes! What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you wait for the prime minister to change clothes? Do you want to change the place around your neck? Well! ”
The old housekeeper hurriedly excused himself, and then turned to the palace maids who were still trembling and scolded angrily.
"Yes!"
The palace ladies agreed in a panic, and scattered around to get ready for a change of clothes.
"Hey, I didn't expect Nalan Qiqing to die, then the Son of Heaven will inevitably fall into the hands of my sister, once she becomes the future queen mother, she will definitely not allow me to have too much ambition in order to monopolize power. When I help her become the queen mother, she should find a way to deal with me. Once she knows my dungeon secrets, she will definitely attack me immediately. She has been so strong since she was a child, in order to achieve her goal, she has always been denied by her six relatives, it seems that my plan is going to be greatly adjusted, I can only lose the car to protect the handsome, sister, since one mountain does not allow two tigers, one of you and I must die first, otherwise no one will want to get this country! Don't blame my brother for being ruthless, blame you for being too big and fighting for something that doesn't belong to you! ”
Nangong Mo muttered to himself, and after finishing speaking, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, obviously he already had a new plan in his heart......
……
On the official road five miles away from the gate of the imperial city, a large group of royal guards escorted this luxurious soft sedan chair to a temporary stop, and the leader of the royal guards came to the sedan chair and respectfully reported:
"Emperor Qiqi, according to your will, we have found a group of gangsters who only recognize money to attack our team, and we should do it in front of the city gate. The last general has already worn the imitation black-tailed leafhopper token on them, and afterwards, he can blame the black-tailed leafhopper country for this assassination. ”
"Good! Everything is going according to plan, these scum of the rivers and lakes must be all exterminated, and not a single one will be left alive. As for you stabbing me in front of everyone for a while, and then pretending to take this bag from my arms and then fleeing, you must let the generals and ministers who rushed to escort me mistakenly think that the Lotus Son in my hands was successfully snatched away by the traitorous you. After that, you will go incognito, go to Yanjia Village, and help me secretly protect the queen and my emperor. I'll leave it to you for all this. ”
Jun said with no regrets, his eyes full of endless anticipation.
"Do you really want to stab you? Isn't it okay to be stunned? The last general is worried that the knife wound will not be good for the dragon's body. ”
The head of the guard suggested with some embarrassment.
"Don't be soft! Otherwise, the shrewd Nangong Mo would see the clue. It's a waste of my hard work. It's best to make my injuries a little more serious, and it's better to be in a coma for a while, so that when I get back to the palace, I can delay for you for a while, at least they don't have the energy to hunt you down. Let's go now, so as not to make Nangong suspicious. ”
Jun Wuregret said without hesitation, and after speaking, he took a deep look at the city gate in the distance, his eyes were full of determination.
