Chapter 41: It's Your Weakness
The crown prince Li Cong was seriously injured in the back, and at this time he was choked by Su Qiang, I don't know whether he was powerless to fight back or let her deal with it, he just looked at her with a provocative look in his eyes, did not struggle, and did not call people in.
With him like this, Su Qiang couldn't do it. She let go of him slowly, picking up the crumbs of the medicine bowl on the floor.
Li Cong coughed violently a few times, stroked his chest by himself, and only looked at Su Qiang and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Qiang raised his hand again, making a gesture against him.
"Bengong laughed at you for pretending for so long, and finally you were tricked out by Bengong. Fuguo Mansion, the little son Cui Wanyan, is really your weakness. also said that he didn't know him, and he didn't admit that his name was called in his dream. Li Cong sneered, laughed for a long time, and then raised his eyes to look at Su Qiang and said, "'Wanyan, don't be afraid. This is what you said in your dream, can you tell Hongu what it means. ”
He smiled, his expression serious.
Su Qiang's eyes were heavy and cool, and she looked at Li Cong coldly and said: "Cui Wanyan, he is only nine years old, is it blocking the way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the unification, or hindering His Royal Highness the Prince's strides and feet, why did you hit him with the idea?" ”
Li Cong closed his eyes for a moment, and only after Su Qiang finished speaking, did he open his eyes and say, "Nine years old, it's not too young." It is rumored that the prince of the country killed the enemy generals at the age of fourteen, and returned triumphantly with the army at the age of sixteen. Although the prince is old, the art of war and strategy will not be old. Although the Guogong Mansion has declined, as long as there are people, there is a possibility of rising. ”
"So even though they have been loyal for generations and have never had the slightest selfishness, are you still afraid?" Su Qiang gritted her teeth and said.
Fear. I am afraid that the Guogong Mansion will win the hearts of the people, I am afraid that the Guogong Mansion will win the hearts of the military, and I am afraid that the Guogong Mansion will make the government bigger and it will be difficult to clean up. So take advantage of the fledgling wings, dumping and exploiting. Now that the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion is dead, they are still not worried about a nine-year-old child.
The low tomb under the Jade Mountain will eventually become a lonely tomb of the peerless son that no one worships, will these people be at ease?
Su Qiang only felt cold to the bone, and wanted to break Li Cong's body into pieces.
saw Li Cong smiled slightly: "The Dahong Imperial Court has now become a moth with narrow vision and little guts. Do you think so? ”
Su Qiang's fists clenched in his sleeves and remained silent.
Li Cong continued: "It's a pity that this palace is going to die, and I can't do much. ”
Su Qiang raised her eyes and looked at him. He was indeed going to die, but no one in the Daihong Dynasty pinned their hopes on him. What everyone wants is that he is dead, and the regent will stabilize the court.
Thinking like this, she felt that the prince had lost the hearts of the people, and she was to blame.
"What can you do?" Su Qiang blurted out.
Li Cong's palm patted on his thigh, and Shi Shiran said: "I can't do too much, but this palace now knows that Cui Wanyan's child is your weakness, so can it be said that if you are not good to this palace, this palace will take the child under the knife?" ”
The air was filled with the fragrance of Chinese medicine, and Su Qiang's hand flicked the dagger in his sleeve, considering whether it was time to pull it out. She can't let her only brother become a bargaining chip for others to fiddle with. And on the one hand, if the crown prince dies, the cost of a war between the two countries is too great.
"Actually," after thinking for a moment, Su Qiang said, "I just want to leave the East Palace, and it doesn't matter whether I assassinate you or not." ”
Now that the crown prince will not live long, with the regent here, presumably without waiting for the prince to ascend the throne, the regent will monopolize the government. And the regent is not a man of wine bags and rice bags, and will not give up the land to others. In this case, it doesn't matter if she is not in the East Palace, whether she kills the prince or not.
Now it is important that she return to the Guogong Mansion to protect her family.
"It's easy to say," Li Cong looked at her with crooked eyebrows, and smiled: "You can pretend to be dead, and this palace will give you a beautiful funeral." ”
Pretending to be dead is one way, but the imperial family's imperial doctor is not easy to deceive, this is a risky thing. And she couldn't believe that Li Cong would fish her out of the coffin after the fact, don't look like she was pretending to be dead, and in the end she was really dead.
"Can't get along?" Su Qiang said.
"And leave?" Li Cong seemed to remember that there was still this word in the Dahong Dynasty, and laughed: "How can there be a royal family and leave?" Where do you let Lord Shangshu's old face go? ”
Yes, Su Qiang almost forgot that now her skin is Miss Shangshufu. If she reconciles with the prince, it will really become a strange story in the streets and alleys. At that time, Su Yiming will not have a good time in the court, and Su Mansion will inevitably be humiliated in the market.
She was able to be reborn thanks to this skin, and if it was because of her, it would be difficult for Su Fu to gain a foothold in Dahong, and it would not be what she wanted.
"Okay," Su Qiang nodded, "I can pretend to be dead, then I ask the prince to do this as soon as possible, and it can be regarded as the reward of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving his life today." ”
"Saving grace." Li Cong smacked these words in his mouth, hooked his lips and said, "Shouldn't the grace of saving your life be repaid by this palace?" Why did the crown princess leave the East Palace instead? ”
Su Qiang stood up, looked back at Li Cong deeply, and said lightly: "This East Palace is just a cage for me. ”
"What a coincidence!" Li Cong laughed, "This East Palace is also a cage for this palace. ”
For him? He was crowned crown prince at the age of nine, and now he has indeed stayed in the East Palace long enough. However, as long as His Majesty the Emperor is alive for a day, he will continue to be trapped in this East Palace.
There's nothing to complain about.
Su Qiang stood dignifiedly, tugged on her skirt and bowed deeply: "Then Su Qiang will wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fulfill the agreement." ”
Li Cong looked at her deeply for a long time before raising his hand and waving.
……
"Things are messed up?" A young man in blue clothes sat on a spring bench and was talking alone. On the chessboard, the black and white men were fighting inseparably, and although it was late at night, there was no tiredness on his face.
"Master Zhang." The person who came to report had a northland accent, and although he knelt on the ground respectfully, he did not take off his mask.
Playing alone is none other than Zhang Shuo, the strategist of the Regent's Palace. He raised his eyes to look at the man, and a layer of sarcasm swept over his handsome face.
"Master Zhang," the visitor said, "Your news is good, but the villain's errand was not done well, not only did he damage his brother, but he also almost revealed his hidden line." ”
"That's ......" Zhang Shuo sighed leisurely and said: "In this case, you came here to find me at this time, did you bring someone in to blame the prince for this matter?" ”
The person who came touched the ground on his forehead in panic, and said in fear: "The villain doesn't dare!" The villain had already shaken off the tailgating and dressed up in disguise before he dared to sneak into the palace. ”
"That's ......" Zhang Shuo sighed deeper and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the prince in the first place, and now you are begging me again, just hoping to leave the capital with your whole body, right?" ”
The visitor knocked heavily on the ground and said, "The prince's secret guard is really powerful, we can't hold it." ”
"That's ......," Zhang Shuo laughed, "Since you can't hold it, it's worthless." ”
