Chapter 141: Usurpation

Qi Ruo is the wife of the Zhenguo Mansion in the end, and she must not stay in the Zhao Mansion forever. She accompanied Ruan Yu all night, and seeing that she was in a much better mood, she packed up and rushed to the house early the next morning.

It's just that the atmosphere on the street is different on this day.

Qi Ruo lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that there were more than half fewer people on Yuanjing Street, which should have been rubbing shoulders, than in the past, and even soldiers patrolling everywhere, as if something big was about to happen.

She was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked the small maid outside the carriage to inquire, it turned out that the capital city was under martial law today, the city gate was not opened, the people in the city could not get out, and the people outside the city could not enter, and there were many fewer small vendors on the street, and there were even fewer people rushing to the market.

Qi Ruo knew, I was afraid that Prince Ren was going to do it.

"You go and tell Second Young Lady Zhao not to go out these days, and the people in their courtyard had better not go out either."

"Yes."

When the little guy left, Qi Ruo asked people to hurry back to the house.

There are still so many people in the house, she has to go back and guard the home that belongs to her and Qi Mo.

As soon as Qi Ruofu arrived at the house, the housekeeper came, saying that the first little two of the Sigu Building had delivered food, and he had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Let him wait for me in the side hall."

When she arrived at the side hall, the little two bowed to her as soon as he saw her.

Qi Ruo waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and then said: "It seems that he still values you a lot, and he will let you do everything." What is he calling you for now? ”

The voice was a little cold, and the little second was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and replied: "The adults said that I am afraid that the weather will be colder in the next few days, so it is better for you not to go out and stay at home." ”

Qi Ruo's eyes stared straight at him, and he replied in a low voice for a long time: "You told him that I know, and there are ...... I also guessed about the old lady, so I wanted to ask him if it was yes or not......"

The little er's complexion changed a few times, and he seemed to be a little unbearable, but he still bowed his head in response.

Just when the little second was about to say goodbye and leave, Qi Ruoxi suddenly came to his senses and asked, "I don't know what your name is." ”

The little second lowered his head to cover the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but rise, stabilized his tone, and replied respectfully: "Little Mo Si." ”

Qi Ruo nodded: "If you have work, go to the steward to get some silver." Since the sky is about to change, it is good to add some clothes. ”

Mo Si heard the second half of Qi Ruo's words, swallowed back the rejection that came to his lips, and changed his words: "The little one has thanked Mrs. here." ”

I have to say that Qi Ruo is very worried about the feelings of others, even though she is now the Duchess of Zhenguo, she will never put on a lofty posture, and her words and deeds make people feel that she is kind.

After sending away the little second, Qi Ruo sent someone out to buy it.

"Buy more things, no one can go out for the next few days."

After thinking about it, she recruited Wang Dalai, the guard left by Qi Mo, to her.

"I heard Ah Mo say that he left a few people for me in the barracks?"

"Mrs. Hui, Grandpa Guo did leave a few people for you, and on the outskirts of Yuanjing, he ordered his subordinates to bring them into the city, and according to his subordinates, they can let people enter the mansion to guard."

Wang Da spoke and acted very measuredly, and Qi Ruo nodded in agreement.

After thinking about it, she said again: "Send two more guards to the Zhao Mansion to guard, quietly, just don't go." ”

Zhao Bingrong has always had some mustard in her heart, and if she sends a foreign man to Ruan Yu now, she is afraid that it will make the two drift apart, thinking that the Zhao Mansion is the master who is holding on to both sides, even if Prince Ren wants to do it, it will not be unfavorable to the Zhao Mansion, so he gave up.

What Qi Ruo didn't expect was that Ruan Chen came to look for her at night.

"Brother means you want me to leave quietly?"

"Yes, if you don't leave today, Ming'er is afraid that she won't be able to leave, Ming'er is the day of the early dynasty, I am afraid that not only the palace, but also inside and outside the Yuanjing City will be guarded to death, and there will be no chance to leave."

Qi Ruo shook his head: "What should I do if I leave?" This is my home and Qi Mo's home, I have to guard it, and I can't let this family really disperse. ”

She figured out that if she really got there, she would ...... went to die, it was better to face Qi Mo's sadness and despair after learning the truth.

That's right, she was cowardly.

Besides, there are more than a dozen people in the house alone, not to mention those who are in charge everywhere, if they escape as masters, what will they do? Tete is one of those who sold his body, and he has been a lowly person for so many years, and he has not been able to get out until he dies.

"Brother, don't worry, it's okay, you can send a few people to the fish to guard it, she is a month old, and she can't be frightened."

Ruan Chen had persuaded Qi Ruo for a long time, and now that she said this, she had no choice but to let her.

"Well, if it is discovered by Prince Ren's side, it's hard to say, I'm afraid that something bad will happen, but you have to be careful, Prince Ren won't touch you until the last resort, and you don't have to be impulsive. Don't worry, I've already sent someone, and the people on the side of Prince Zhaofu are also related, so I won't move Yu'er easily. ”

Qi Ruo couldn't send someone to protect Ruan Yu, for fear of provoking the relationship between Ruan Yu and Zhao Bingrong to get worse and worse, but Ruan Chen could, and it could be said that it was justified, so she settled down.

After the matter was finished, Ruan Chen should also leave, Qi Ruo was about to get up to send him off, but was stopped by Ruan Chen.

"I won't send it."

I don't know if I can say goodbye to this farewell, Qi Ruo felt very uncomfortable, and finally could only say: "Be careful in everything." ”

Ruan Chen smiled: "I regret my life very much, I still want to watch the children grow up with your sister-in-law, and I also want to have a drink with him when Qi Mo comes back." ”

Qi Ruo also smiled back: "Yes." ”

She suddenly thought of Yuan Jing's garrison: "Yuan Jing's garrison is someone from the emperor's side?" ”

Ruan Chen shook his head: "No, although he has some friendship with my father, he fell to Prince Ren's side, but it's just ...... Qi Mo caught him, and he is still doing things for us now. ”

After a pause, he said again: "The difficult thing is actually Prince Ren's personal soldiers, he has not moved for so long, in addition to supporting Qi Mo and waiting for the emperor to take the army away, the most important point is to wait for his personal soldiers to be transferred to Yuanjing." Don't worry about these things, Prince Ren also has our people. ”

Qi Ruofang just remembered what Qi Mo and her master gave them when they left Stone Village, it seemed that there was the name of the adult in charge of Gyeonggi defense, she didn't understand, the letter was held by Qi Mo, she only vaguely remembered it, and she was relieved to hear that Qi Mo used her, and she didn't ask much about the last bit of news that Ruan Chen revealed to her.

The next day, Qi Ruo was suddenly awakened, she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly recruited Xia He and Qiu Ju.

"Xia He, Qiu Ju, how is it outside?"

Xia He and Qiu Ju entered the house, and there was a sadness between their eyebrows: "The slaves and maids just went to see, there was a commotion, and the streets were full of soldiers wearing armor, and there were many soldiers guarding outside our house." ”

Qi Ruo nodded: "Let them guard, don't anger the group of soldiers, don't let them in, come and inform me as soon as there is any trouble." Go and talk to the steward again, let her calm the emotions of the people in the house, and don't mess up her own people first. ”

Qi Ruo didn't have the heart to sleep anymore, so Qiu Ju dressed herself up and went to the main hall of the house, at this time, she couldn't hide in the drunken courtyard.

Nothing happened outside until noon, but Qi Ruo didn't dare to relax at all.

She asked about a little maid who had just returned from outside.

"What did you hear?"

The maid is also relatively bold in ordinary times, and she is also very uneasy on her face.

"It is said that the palace is surrounded inside and outside, and the adults who went to the palace to attend the court meeting in the morning have not returned to their homes, and the mansions of the adults have also been guarded by the soldiers, and there is no one on the street outside."

Qi Ruo nodded as if he understood, and then said with a smile: "Since you are back, we will have a meal, and give everyone in the house a better meal, especially you, you have worked hard, you need to add a chicken leg." ”

The maid didn't think that Qi Ruo would say something that was unrelated to each other, and she was stunned for a while, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a lot.

Qi Ruo figured it out, just like Prince Ren would not kill all the ladies and ladies of the family who went to the Wanguo Temple, he would never be able to kill all the ministers, and if he was really brutal, then the throne that he had worked so hard to separate the emperor would not be stable.

Not only will it not be stable, but those big families may not give him the opportunity to sit on the throne of God, and when he is sad, they will fight hard.

The first day of Prince Ren's actions passed smoothly like this, but Qi Ruo didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Qi Mo hadn't come back for a day, then she wouldn't be relieved for a day.

She heard Ruan Chen say that Prince Ren has a lot of personal soldiers, and Qi Mo can't come back with soldiers with great fanfare, it's too conspicuous, so she has to touch it back in batches, Zizhou is not far from Yuanjing, but it will take several days.

The day passed quite smoothly, but Qi Ruo knew that the tough battle was still to come.

No, early the next morning, news came out in the palace, saying that the emperor was assassinated in Biansai, and the country could not be left without an owner for a day, and the ministers tried their best to promote Prince Ren as the new emperor.

He didn't want to sit in this position, but he couldn't bear to touch the hearts of a minister, and he didn't want the people to be displaced, so he had to be ordered to shoulder the responsibility of the country on his shoulders.

said it so well, Qi Ruo couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.

Even if the emperor was assassinated, but his body has not returned to Beijing, and the emperor still has a prince, where will it be his turn to take the throne? If he really doesn't want to be the emperor, then he can be an auxiliary minister to assist the young prince, but to put it mildly, he has waited too long and doesn't want to wait any longer.

He is a usurper, but he has become someone else begging him to be the emperor, and he has the ability to release all the ministers in the palace, why only release the ministers who support him?

It's ridiculous!

It's just that Qi Ruo can't manage this matter so much, all she can do is to guard this family, so that Qi Mo has no worries.

At this moment, Xia He hurried over.

"Madam, Miss Ruan Yu's personal maid is outside, clamoring to see you, but the soldiers outside won't let her in, and it's useless for the steward to talk about it."

Why did Ruan Yu's personal maid suddenly come to the door?

Qi Ruo's eyebrows jumped, and an ominous premonition hit her heart.
