In less than an hour, a shocking news, and an ironclad fact, Zhou Youlin, who was already in control, suddenly became the target of everyone.

In the face of evidence and questioning, Zhou Youlin's momentary hesitation and delay in speaking were enough to make everyone doubt him.

Zhou Youchen came prepared, even if Zhou Youlin denied it, his tone was still aggressive, with a kind of anger between his eyebrows that should not be underestimated.

Zhou Youlin recovered from the initial shock, he looked at Zhou Youchen fixedly, and suddenly thought of something. The evidence in his hand, the purse, was given to Meng Xilan by his mother.

Don't? It's her?!

Zhou Youlin tried hard to suppress the speculation in his heart, he didn't believe that Meng Xilan would put a cold arrow on himself behind his back.

Perhaps, she really doesn't like him, but she won't hurt him. Even if Meng Xilan was the only other party who could be suspected, he didn't want to think like that.

In front of everyone, Zhou Youlin could only try his best to defend himself, however, once the people's hearts were suspicious, coupled with the chaos of various forces, he knew that he was in big trouble.

In recent days, he has devoted all his mind to dealing with Zhou Shirao, but he has ignored the most inconspicuous Lao Jiu around him.

In his eyes, he had always been a flickering shadow, a bit of an eyesore, but definitely not a threat.

But now, he saw it. He saw his viciousness and ambition.

Once the crime is detained, whether you are a relative of the emperor or an ordinary person, it is like falling into an abyss, and there will be no return.

For Zhou Youlin, this was the most difficult day of his life. Zhou Shirao was like a mad dog that smelled blood, biting him and inciting the ministers to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Zhou Youlin had no reason to object, but he had to object.

Zhou Shipao sneered: "If you have a clear conscience, there is nothing to fear." ”

As a result, everything that Zhou Youlin spent several years and painstakingly managed fell short and came to naught in an instant.

Inside and outside the government, when there was a miasma of black smoke, Zhou Youlin became the target of everyone's attacks and suspicions overnight. is not only him, but also Concubine Ning Murong Qiao, who is regarded as the real murderer behind the scenes, a femme fatale and poisonous woman.

Three days later, Murong Qiao, who was recuperating in the palace, was forcibly escorted back to Beijing.

Her body was weak, but her mind was not confused. She knew that her son must have had an accident, so before leaving, she insisted on moving out of her identity as the imperial concubine and explained to Meng Xilan: "Xilan, if something happens to this palace, you must take care of Lin'er......"

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and her expression became a little complicated.

It seems that she doesn't know what happened yet, and if she knew, she would definitely rush up and strangle her throat with her own hands, and then kill her!

Meng Xilan looked at Concubine Ning's back, and it seemed that everything was going smoothly.

The water was muddy enough, and as for whether Zhou Youchen would win or not, she was not so worried.

Since Concubine Ning is deeply implicated, Zhou Youchen's chances of victory will definitely be greater.

Gao Fuli was uneasy, and only said: "Master, why don't we go back to the palace too." ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "What about the emperor?" ”

When the man is gone, there must be someone to keep a watch for him.

Gao Fuli opened his mouth, and stopped talking: "If you don't return to the capital, will the ninth master's heart be bottomless." ”

This is a big thing that can make people live and die in an instant.

"Xiao Lizi, you are too underestimated of the Ninth Master." Meng Xilan said meaningfully: "At this point today, no matter how weak a person is, he will want to fight hard." ”

Gao Fuli sighed lightly: "The Ninth Master can definitely fight for it." ”

For him, the master gave up the prince and the good situation that he had worked hard for so many years. When Zhou Youlin was defeated, the master also completely cut off his own back road.

Meng Xilan stood in front of the door, looking at the broken petals on the ground, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in her heart.

She suddenly didn't want to do anything now, she just wanted to stay quiet.

When Murong Qiao returned to Beijing, he learned the ins and outs of the matter.

Only then did she realize that she had been brutally shaded by Meng Xilan.

There is indeed a lot of article in that purse. Therefore, Murong Qiao was speechless, and Jiao Changqing also personally checked her pulse, and diagnosed that her body was cold and painful, not because of physical discomfort, but because of poisoning.

The haze in Murong Qiao's eyes gradually rose, and she knew that she had no way out.

In order to protect her son, she could only take all the blame on herself, saying that she was bent on doing her own thing, and she had nothing to do with Zhou Youlin.

It's just that if you say something like this, it's useless to say it, and it will only make people grab the pigtails and hold on.

No matter how Murong Qiao cleared up Zhou Youlin's involvement, the rumors outside had already determined that their mother and son were the real culprits behind the murder of the emperor.

Killing the king and killing her husband, such a crime is enough to make the entire Murong family suffer a catastrophe. It was only a few days, the situation in the DPRK and China was turned upside down, Zhou Youlin was implicated by his mother, and from then on, there was no chance to covet the throne.

From today, he is completely out.

Zhou Youlin's face was dejected, and he finally believed that all this was all thanks to Meng Xilan. He lost completely, he lost to Meng Xilan, and she really didn't have half of him in her heart......

Zhou Youchen stepped forward and killed his relatives in righteousness, so that he got praise and applause above the court and among the ministers.

Zhou Shirao was happy in his heart, without this fierce rival in front of him, he could use his identity and title to incite the ministers to recommend him as the regent, assist the new emperor to succeed to the throne, and then slowly replace him.

Hahaha, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

However, if Zhou Shirao wants to become a regent smoothly, he also needs a suitable prince. An heir to the throne who has royal blood and is willing to bow his head and submit to softness.

There is no doubt that among all of them, only Zhou Youchen, who is from a humble background and helpless, is the most suitable person for him.

Zhou Youan is the son of Queen Su, relying on his own prince, so he is usually arrogant, and he once bumped into him in front of Zhou Shirao. As for the fifth prince, Zhou Yousong is a stuffy gourd who is afraid of things, and he has a disability, so he has never been a candidate for the prince.

Zhou Youwen, Zhou Youwu, and Zhou Youlong in the back don't have to think about it at all, even if he is willing to help them, the civil and military officials will not agree.

Therefore, he only had Zhou Youchen left.

Zhou Youchen's advantage is that he is the emperor's most trusted and favorite son in recent years. Also, he is the hero who found out the truth, if it weren't for him, no one would doubt whether the emperor was killed by someone, or by his own woman and son together.

There are countless strange things in this world, some things will become beautiful talks, and some things can only become ulterior secrets.

Zhou Youlin was already guilty, so he was escorted back to the palace and imprisoned, waiting to be released.

As for Murong Qiao, she has been taken away and imprisoned by the Criminal Department, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, she will be directly put to death. Even the entire Murong family will suffer the crime of raiding the family and destroying the door together.

I thought it was a step by step to win, but I didn't expect to go to a dead end.

Meng Zhenglu judged the situation and took the lead in suggesting to Zhou Shirao before he changed his hexagram that he should seize the time and establish a new emperor. After all, a kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day.

Prior to this, the relationship between Zhou Shirao and the Meng family was very stiff, because of the conflict between their daughters, the adults became unhappy.

However, Meng Zhenglu took the initiative to show Zhou Shirao's good intentions, so that his position began to waver.

"Lord Meng, you are now a high and powerful person, why do you want to visit in person?"

Zhou Shirao said mockingly.

Meng Zhenglu smiled slightly: "The prince is polite, in terms of status and qualifications, you are above me." ”

"Hehe, you're still the person next to the fourth child, you don't speak so hard!"

Meng Zhenglu came prepared, so naturally he would not be easily excited by him, and still said calmly: "Lord Wang, you can't talk nonsense. I, Meng Zhenglu, have always been wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor and contributed to the country. ”

Zhou Shipao glared at him when he heard this: "Master Meng, now you are also a lost dog, what are you doing with your tone?" ”

"Okay, since the prince doesn't want to listen to the scene, then I have something to say. Above the court, there is only winning or losing, and there is no difference between friend and foe. What the prince wants to do in his heart is exactly what I want to do. ”

Zhou Shirao's eyes sank, and he said in a cold tone: "Master Meng is really calculating." Your heart is really wide, several years of hard work and dedication have come to naught overnight, and you are about to give up the fourth child so soon. ”

Meng Zhenglu's expression changed slightly: "The winner is king." After all, whoever can win in the end is our master. Now, the ninth master is the most suitable candidate, why don't you help him with me? ”

Zhou Shipao thought for a while before saying, "It's okay for you and me to join forces." Just ......"

Meng Zhenglu didn't wait for him to hesitate, and then said: "As the so-called time can't wait, it's better for the prince to make a decision early, don't wait until His Royal Highness makes a move, let's passively unite!" ”

Zhou Shirao frowned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "Master Meng, in your opinion, is the Ninth Master really good?" ”

Meng Zhenglu seemed to smile: "Lord Wang, the ninth master can't succeed, it's not a big deal." If he is malleable, in time, he will definitely make a difference. But if he is just a mediocre talent, it is not in line with the prince's heart! ”

Zhou Shirao got up and said, "Master Meng, you are not careful enough when you speak." ”

"I came to find the prince today, just to treat you as my own. So, it's best to have something to say. Lord Wang, just give it a go with me, while the inside and outside of the DPRK and China have not been disrupted, and while the Ninth Master is gaining momentum, let's fulfill him. ”

In fact, in this way, it is also fulfilled by themselves.

Zhou Shirao needs a new monarch who can be controlled by him, and what the Meng family needs is to assist the prince in his thousand-year-old work, a gold medal that will always be useful to avoid death!
