Chapter 773: If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather (second watch)

Xue Guifei stayed in the imperial mausoleum for two days, and then set off to return to the palace.

This time, when she met with Xiao Shi, the lord of Pingyang, she was not very satisfied with the results, but she was not disappointed.

Although Yan Yunge refused to agree to join forces with her to kill Liu Baoshun, he did not refuse to continue to cooperate with her.

The extent of cooperation will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Anyway, if we can cooperate in the future!

She needs a foreign aid, a strong foreign aid, and Yan Yunge is one of the good choices.

It can only be one of them.

She also needs hardcore henchmen to help her take revenge and kill Liu Baoshun wholeheartedly.

Kill Liu Baoping?

You can do it with you.

Liu Baoshun and Liu Baoping have a lot of contradictions between the two brothers, if the plan is clever, Liu Baoping's death can be completely blamed on Liu Baoshun's head.

At that time......

Hahaha!

I thought that the road back to the palace would be smooth sailing, just like when I came.

At this time, no one should dare to risk the world's condemnation and take the risk of assassinating her.

However, what was thought to be impossible to happen, it happened.

When he was only halfway away from the Imperial City of Beiliang, he was ambushed by assassins.

Xue Guifei was so frightened that her face was pale, she thought that she was going to die, and she was resentful and regretful in her heart.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the nearby garrison arrived, killed the assassin, and saved her.

If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing!

Whoever tried to kill her, she would have to take revenge tenfold and hundredfold.

Even if it wasn't the assassin arranged by Liu Baoshun, she had to find a way to frame Liu Baoshun and make him difficult to distinguish.

In order to do this scene, she stayed on the scene for a few more hours before being escorted back to the palace.

She's sick!

The doctor said that she was stimulated, frightened, and hurt her heart before she fell ill.

The implication was that she was so frightened by the Assassins that she couldn't afford to fall ill.

Liu Zhang was furious!

Hold her hand, "Concubine Ai, don't worry, I will find out the truth and give you an explanation." ”

She cries!

She doesn't sue!

She cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she looked pitiful.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid!"

A "I'm afraid", a thousand turns, endless grievances and fears, panicked......

Liu Zhang's heart was shaken.

How much stimulation and grievances did my most beloved woman feel before she shouted 'I'm afraid'!

It's because he's incompetent, and he can't even protect the woman he loves.

The more Xue Guifei cried, the more angry he became and the more he blamed himself.

The stronger the idea of finding out who is behind the scenes.

"No matter who dares to assassinate Concubine Ai, I must break him into pieces."

This is his promise to her.

Even if he is his own son, if he dares to assassinate Xue Guifei, he will have to pay the price.

Even if it is the eldest son Liu Baoshun who values him the most, once it is true that he did it, Liu Zhang clenched his fists, he must beat the rebel son into the eighteenth layer of hell.

This scene, if it is placed in an ordinary family, it is typical to have a stepmother and a stepfather.

In the royal family, it is a struggle for power, each according to his ability.

……

Liu Baoshun is very frank, he didn't send anyone to assassinate Xue Guifei, he is not afraid of investigation.

Even if the Imperial City Division searched everything and questioned everyone, he would not want to find out his connection to this matter.

"You suspect His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness also suspects that Xue Guifei directed and acted by herself, playing a bitter trick. Instead of wasting time here with His Royal Highness, it is better to start with the people around Xue Guifei. I believe that there will be surprises. ”

The Imperial City Division was very embarrassed, "The lower official is acting on orders, please forgive your highness." As long as it is ascertained that this matter has nothing to do with His Highness, His Majesty will definitely report to His Majesty truthfully and return His Highness's innocence. ”

Liu Baoshun laughed, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

He seemed to be an empathetic superior, "Don't worry, Your Highness won't be angry with you." As for innocence, does His Highness still have innocence at all? Look, as soon as Xue Guifei has an accident, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the first thing is to check His Royal Highness.

Hehe, how can there be any innocence! Go back and tell Your Majesty that if I did it, I would definitely admit it. I didn't do it, don't think about it on my head. ”

The Imperial City Division laughed with him. The people under him are not idle, they should check, they should ask.

I was busy for days on end and found nothing.

Indeed, Liu Baoshun's generals were in the imperial city for a few days before and after Xue Guifei's accident, and they never even went out of the city gate.

Buying up the charlatans?

After the first two years of hard crackdown, the rangers in Beiliang either died or ran out.

When I heard that, they all went to Pingyang County to serve as soldiers to eat food.

The territory of Beiliang has become a forbidden area for the death of rangers.

At the border gate, there is no definite news to prove that a ranger has recently broken in.

If you are not an assassin, you can only be a confidant you have cultivated.

Unless, His Royal Highness the Great Prince Liu Baoshun has raised another team of people in private?

This speculation can only be thought about, and I dare not say it.

If you dare to say something without evidence, sooner or later it will be settled after the autumn.

The Imperial City Division adheres to the principle of being loyal to the emperor and strictly investigating this matter, and at the same time, if it can not offend Liu Baoshun, it will try not to offend.

Therefore, any speculation without evidence has all been suppressed.

Emperor Liu Zhang also did not want this matter to have anything to do with his eldest son Liu Baoshun.

Upon learning of the results of the investigation, the suspicion of the eldest son Liu Baoshun was ruled out, and Emperor Liu Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in private.

"I didn't misunderstand him, he didn't make a profit, he knew how to choose."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”

The chamberlain spoke auspicious words.

Emperor Liu Zhang laughed, "You go to the Great Prince's Mansion, visit him for me, tell him to do his duty, cultivate his self-cultivation, and change his violent temper." In addition, I rewarded him with this sharp sword. ”

Liu Zhang took his favorite sword from the wall and handed it to the chamberlain.

The waiter is full of mouths.

muttered in his heart, the eldest prince is about to turn over!

When the assassination is over, the eldest prince will be reinstated and return to the court.

So, hurry up to the door to burn incense and make a good fate.

……

The sword is very valuable.

What's more valuable is that the sword is the beloved object of Emperor Liu Zhang, and its value is incalculable.

The sword was awarded to the eldest prince Liu Baoshun, which meant that he successfully escaped from the assassination of Xue Guifei, and received the emperor's praise and recognition.

Congratulations!

Up and down the prince's mansion, everyone was smiling.

After nearly a year of suppression and neglect, he finally managed to see the moon, which can be regarded as a breakthrough.

From now on, we must make further progress.

Liu Baoshun played with the sword, he was very satisfied, very satisfied.

Not only satisfied with this sharp sword, but also satisfied with his choice in this matter.

He chose the right one!

To be precise, he won the bet.

He saw the old man's mind and responded correctly.

"I really want to see Xue Guifei's woman's face, will this be already crooked. She dug a pit for His Highness to jump, but His Highness was not fooled. ”

"Your Highness is wise, this time it is right in His Majesty's mind, and soon His Highness will be able to recover, which is really a great thing."

Liu Baoshun was smug and smiled very heartily.

He asked the chief steward, "Xue Guifei is not a person who sits idly by. She was assassinated on the way back to the palace, and if she didn't take the opportunity to make an article, His Highness would screw off her head and kick it as a ball. What I told you before, do you have eyebrows? ”

"Your Highness is like a god, Xue Guifei really wants to frame the assassin on His Highness's head. Fortunately, His Royal Highness defended her, and the local garrison was also willing to share His Highness's worries, and all traces of Xue Guifei's old suspicious array had been erased. Her framing is useless. Your Highness, can we take advantage of this matter to attack Xue Guifei? ”

Liu Baoshun shook his head, "The old man spoils Xue Guifei, and he spoils him like a heart." Even if the fact that Xue Guifei intended to frame His Highness, the old man would defend her, and maybe he would blame His Highness for being troublesome.

was framed and framed, but it did not cause any consequences, and it could not shake Xue Guifei's status in the old man's mind.

Instead of getting into a fishy stink, it is better to secretly pass the word to the old man, so that the old man also feels sorry for me. Anyway, I'm his eldest son, don't patronize the beautiful concubine, and forget to kiss my son. ”

This seems to be a joke, but it is actually full of resentment.

With a stepmother, there is a stepfather, and the person who feels it the most is the child of the original match.

He was originally the eldest son and had a noble status.

was forced to be pressed by a woman.

Can you not be angry?

is so angry that he wants to kill the other party, which is too natural.

The battle between the two is a struggle for power, more like a struggle for the favor of Emperor Liu Zhang.

If you have the chance, you must give each other eye medicine.

It's just that it has to be done in a different way.

It can no longer be like in the past, open and close, cut the knife without saying a word, and take the initiative to hand the handle to the other party.

The other party plays petty tricks and conspiracies.

He can too!

I just don't like it.

Consistently, he still prefers the style of picking up a knife without saying a word.

Bear with me!

After all, one day, he didn't have to endure it anymore.

……

Xue Guifei's successive flip arrangements were easily resolved by the opponent.

Angry or not?

Actually, she is very open-minded.

"From the very beginning, Bengong didn't expect to kill Liu Baoshun this time, and all the arrangements were made easily. It's best if it works, and it's okay if it doesn't. Now, Hongu is even more curious about who is so bold as to send an assassin to assassinate Hongu. ”

"Qi Yu Niangniang, there is no news from the Imperial City Division yet. This time, the assassin was buried very deeply. The corpses of the Assassins were not known to have any traces of their identity, and no one had even seen them, as if they had appeared out of thin air. ”

Xue Guifei sneered, quite dissatisfied.

"The Imperial City Division is very good at bragging, and if you really meet an opponent who is prepared, all of them will become waste! It seems that this assassination will not be able to end. According to the meaning of the palace, the Imperial City Division should remove a group of people, learn from Jin Wuwei of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and all the heads will be on the ground if they can't do errands. ”

Unable to find out the mastermind behind the assassin, Xue Guifei was like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't sleep well.

With Liu Baoshun is not enough, there is another person who wants her life, why is it so difficult for her.

……

Thousands of miles away, the strategist handed over a secret letter to Liu Baoping.

"Your Highness, the assassination plan has failed. Xue Guifei did not die, but His Royal Highness was blessed by misfortune and rewarded by His Majesty. ”
