Chapter 524: Borrowing a knife to kill

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Ji Gongyan seemed to be blinded by the lust of victory, and was immersed in joy with his body and mind. Retreat from the Xiande Palace, immediately walked towards the Huachen Palace, in recent days, Xiuxiu and Ji Gongyan got close, often recruited to the Xiande Hall to fall out of favor, her limelight is flourishing, again and again overshadowed the praise of the year's great honor, became a hot newcomer in the harem, and reported that it was the father of Yu Shi, Xiuxiu asked the subordinate to bring the father of Yu Shi to the wing of the back hall, and opened up the surrounding people.

Father Yu Shi bowed down to pay respects when he saw Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu sat in front of the table and said, "When there is no one else, the number of etiquette will be waived, Yu Shangqing has just seen the king from the Xiande Hall and hurried towards my Huachen Palace, it seems that something big happened?" ”

"The king is ready to attack the state of Chu." Father Yu Shi said.

"Have you decided who will go on the expedition?" Xiuxiu asked, this matter is no longer news to her, not to mention that when she didn't leave the Xiande Hall in the morning, she also saw Yingkai's request to fight, and this matter was broken by Bofu, and what did she say to Ji Gongyan after sending Yingkai away with Bofu, Xiuxiu didn't know. Bofu did not participate in the discussion in the afternoon, and he was not in a good mood when he spoke to himself in the morning, it was inevitable that he and the king of Zhou would fight, and this was an opportunity for them to overthrow the praise.

If Bofu is incompetent, no one will blame a seven-year-old child, only say that the mother's praise is not good, although the prince now has Bofu and Yijiu, but the king will never want to set up Yijiu again, once Bofu has an accident, Ji Gongyan will definitely be angry with Baoxi, Bofu wants to use Xiuxiu's hand to eradicate the palace's rival Mrs. Chu, and now Xiuxiu also wants to use Bofu's hand to eradicate Mrs. Chu and the two of them.

"After fifteen, sixteen will go on the expedition!" Father Yu Shi replied, "The king really wants to move south this time, win the right road, Yongzhi is the middle road, please dig Tutu and then transfer a road as the left side." Win the main attack on Shen State, and dig out the outflanking of Chu State, disperse the main force of the Chu army, and face to face with the Chu army is the Great Zhou soldiers and horses led by Yongzhi! ”

"Yongzhi?" Xiuxiu pondered the name.

"It's Sima!" Father Yu Shi explained.

"Is this man good at leading troops?" Xiuxiu asked.

"If you're not good at it, you don't have to be a Sima, right?" Father Yu Shi asked rhetorically, although he was a little weak-hearted, he didn't want to show it in front of Xiuxiu, it seemed that he was confident, Xiuxiu looked at Father Yu's calm appearance, and nodded slightly, "If you are good at it, then it is better to say, this battle must be won!" ”

"Why?" Father Yu asked.

"In the morning, the king summoned Ying Kai and Bofu alone, three summons Baili Cheng, Baili Chengdu disobeyed and did not return, the king developed a temper with Win, Ying Kai decided to make a military order in order to leave the pickaxe capital, if this battle can not be won and returned to the court, the Qin region will give up! Win Kai's head is also at the disposal of the king, since Win Kai has made a military order, do you think the king above the court will not be a bowl of water? The three armies have made a heavy oath, but they have returned home, and they may not really fulfill the military order, but they must find someone to open the knife, win the strength and dig the breakthrough, you and I know part of it, and now it depends on this Sima's! Xiuxiu analyzed, these words made Yu Shi's father surprised, and he didn't know that Ying Kai actually did not hesitate to make a military order in order to leave Haojing, giving the king of Zhou a reason to attack Qin, "What happened to the king and the prince?" ”

"Isn't it normal for the two of them to have political disagreements and deal with each other at the end of three days, and the two of them quarrel and then reconcile in the Cold War?" Xiuxiu snorted coldly, but she was thinking about something else in her heart.

Yu Shi's father also had no intention of continuing to talk with Xiuxiu, the military order to win made him feel at a loss, flustered, if Yongzhi made a military order, I was afraid that this trip would be certain death, which made Yu Shi's father begin to doubt in his heart, that day the king was convinced of Wen Shuo's betrayal, he was imprisoned, and handed over to himself for interrogation, when he wanted to push Yongzhi to sit on the position of Sima, Ji Gongyan did not express any objection, but seemed to be very happy that he had found a talent for him, at that time, Yu Shi's father was anxious for quick success, only caring about expanding his sphere of influence, But he didn't think that this far-sighted king had dug a hole for himself in this place.

This is also a good explanation why Wen Shuo dared to flee after he was released from prison, but I am afraid that King Zhou is supporting his waist behind his back, and even if he escapes, no one can help him. Father Yu Shi didn't want to continue talking to Xiuxiu anymore, and was about to leave the palace and discuss the matter with Yongzhi. ”

"Yu Shangqing will prepare something for me next time I enter the palace?" Xiuxiu said.

"What?" Father Yu asked.

"Poison," Xiuxiu said, "I don't know much about this matter, and I still have to worry about it!" ”

"It's easy to say...... "Father Yu Shi twisted his beard and nodded, but at the end he felt that it was wrong, "I don't know what is the use of Mrs. Zheng asking for poison?" ”

"Naturally, it's murder!" Xiuxiu said,

"Who?" Father Yu asked.

"Just in case of emergency, I don't need to do it myself, Yu Shangqing prepared it first, as for who it is, when the news comes out in the harem in the future, don't you know? The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, if Yu Shangqing knows, it is not to add trouble to himself, if the king is worried about this matter in the future, Yu Shangqing, who knows the truth, can not relieve the worries in his heart for the king, is it not the duty of a courtier? Xiuxiu said to Father Yushi, who nodded appreciatively, and replied to Xiuxiu with a sly and treacherous smile, and then withdrew from the room.

Xiuxiu sat in front of the table, thinking for a moment, Nian'er kept saying that Mrs. Chu didn't need to kill Shenhou, was there any need not to ask, how to know? Later on the second day, Xiuxiu sent someone to Mrs. Chu's palace to spread a word, saying that she was going to go over in the afternoon, Mrs. Chu got the news, frowned, and there was some surprise in her heart, she looked for Bao Xi to join forces three or four times, Bao Xi was a cold face to herself, which made Mrs. Chu feel very irritable, and now Xiuxiu is in the limelight in the harem, and it may not be a good thing to suddenly come to herself, Mrs. Chu thought about it, and then went back to Xiren to say that she was waiting for Mrs. Zheng in Youyang Palace in the afternoon.

Xiuxiu cleaned up in the afternoon and went to Youyang Palace, Xiren took her to Mrs. Chu's room, closed the door, and only the two ladies were left to discuss alone, Xiuxiu looked at Xiong Ning and smiled, this smile made Xiong Ning feel disgusting from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't look down on this woman who climbed all the way from Xiren to Mrs. Zheng's position, "Mrs. Zheng is a rare guest, I don't know what Mrs. Zheng is here for?" ”

"You can't say it, let's talk to Mrs. Chu casually." Xiuxiu said.

"Casual talk?" Mrs. Chu chewed these four words, "I don't have the ability to talk to Mrs. Zheng casually, if I don't agree again, Mrs. Zheng will cry and run to complain to the king, I can't eat and go around!" ”

"Look at what Mrs. Chu said, where am I the one who chews the root of the tongue?" Xiuxiu felt Xiong Ning's resistance to herself, and she also knew that Xiong Ning didn't like herself, which made her feel that Mrs. Chu Shizhi ** and Bao Xi had reached some kind of contract, and the two joined forces to deal with herself, if she didn't fight back, she was afraid that she would have to die under the conspiracy of the two of them, Xiuxiu comforted herself so much, and she no longer thought about the insidious and cruel things she had done.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Chu asked, "Isn't it out of your mouth that I said that I gave Bao Hou poison and made her cause you to have a miscarriage, and that I wanted to murder you with the hand of Bao Hou?" ”

"How do you know?" Xiuxiu frowned slightly.

Mrs. Chu laughed heartily, as in the past, this laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, and she was like a cardamom girl, her face was bright, but the tone on her mouth was full of disdain, "What do you think Father Yu Shi is, he has always liked to eat both ends, and he thinks that he will really be loyal to you if he often worships you?" He only wants his own rights, whoever can give it to him, he will be loyal to whom, who do you think can protect his glory in this world? ”

"Who?" Xiuxiu asked.

"Who else but the king?" Mrs. Chu sneered, "If you can kill Empress Bao in addition to the best, if you can't, he won't kill Empress Bao on the surface, but he is secretly borrowing your hand to kill the person he wants to kill, do you really think you are smart?" ”

"This matter is not firmly remembered by Mrs. Chu, whether I am smart or not, whether I am good at planning or not, whether I used Father Yu Shi or not, it has little to do with Mrs. Chu, you just want to see how I get up and how I fall, so as to meet your expectations that you will not get the king's heart for many years, but Mrs. Chu has time to think about how to deal with me, and it is not enough to think about how to protect herself!" Xiuxiu's face was calm, and she was not moved in the slightest because of Mrs. Chu's words, as if she had long thought that it was impossible for Father Yu Shi to be loyal to her, in fact, she was as smart as Father Yu, and she knew that anyone in this world could offend but never offend the king, otherwise the end would be a boulder falling off the cliff, and there was only one way to go.

"What do you mean?" Xiong Ning looked at Xiuxiu and asked puzzled.

"Mrs. Chu doesn't know what her brother is doing in the south?" Xiuxiu asked with a sneer.

Xiong Ning's head wrinkled slightly, "What did my brother do in the south?" ”

"Joining forces with Shenhou to annex the surrounding small countries for his own, the king was furious and prepared to raise troops to attack Chu, and now the name of the war is correct, and the three-way army has also been prepared, and it is divided into three ways to attack the Marquis of Chu. No matter whether Chu Hou wins or loses this battle, Mrs. Chu can no longer retreat in the harem, right? Have you figured out how to die to thank the king for his grace? Xiuxiu's cold sentence was like a sharp arrow shot into Mrs. Chu's heart, her face changed from ruddy to pale, and her expression changed from smiling to panicked, no matter what, she couldn't imagine that Chu Hou would dare to openly betray King Zhou!
