Chapter 100: Dangerous Mission

The next day, the Queen Mother issued an edict, saying that I had been wronged the day before yesterday and that I was allowed to go home to visit my relatives for three days. I pondered in my heart that there could be no such coincidence in this world, it must be the result of the Ninth Elder Brother sending someone to pry the Queen Mother - I can't help but sigh that there are too many Ninth Elder Brother's eyeliners in this palace, which is really unguardable.

But he even thought of an excuse for me to leave the palace, and unless I wanted to die, I had to go to the White Horse Temple to see him. It's just, do I really want to be pressed by him step by step like this, and be controlled by him like this all my life?

Three days later, as soon as I stepped into the White Horse Temple, I immediately had the feeling of being stuck in my throat by someone - as if a ruthless hand was dragging me into the bottomless abyss of fate. A sense of powerlessness over my own destiny threatened to knock me down almost instantly.

"Hold on!" My hands were clenched into fists, and my head was covered with cold sweat, but I forced my legs to step inward: "What if you are manipulated by others, what if you can't help yourself?" There will be hope until things go to the last step, I still have hope, as long as I persist, I will have hope to get out of this fate! ”

While I was still convincing myself, the door suddenly opened, and a hellish voice from the Ninth Elder Brother came from inside: "Why are you standing stupidly outside, don't come in yet!" ”

Facts have once again proved that I can't hide, rather than this, it is better to face it calmly: "Look at what you said, I came from the palace with a big eye, as if I was terrible!" ”

"I'm not poor with you, let's get down to business." Lao Jiu also knew that I had always been known for my duplicity, and he didn't go around in circles with me in this regard, so he cut straight to the point: "According to the spies, the prince will secretly receive the envoy from North Korea in a few days, and this is a great opportunity for us." ”

This opportunity is yours, and for me it's definitely bad news, okay! "Yes, that's great, what is the Ninth Master going to do?" Since you called me, there must be my share! It's just that this time it's going to be directly against the prince, and TMD's damn Lao Jiu really thinks my life is too long!

"Seeing foreign envoys in private, the crime is not small, plus the crown prince is abolished and established, the emperor has long been wary of him, as long as we do it this time-"

"Dare to ask the Ninth Master, how sure are you that you can pull the prince off the horse this time?" If my memory is not wrong, the prince still has some days to hold on in history, will this time because of my joining, Kangxi will abolish the prince in advance?

"Hmph, even if you can't abolish him this time, you have to make Huang Ama no longer trust him!" Brother Jiu said confidently.

That is, you are not sure that you can pull the prince off the horse just by one thing? Then didn't you make it clear that you would use me as a back-up - once I participated in this matter, if the prince didn't fall, he would still be able to spare me? It seems that you Lao Jiu didn't plan my life or death in this operation at all, and I better help myself.

"Ninth Master, as far as I know, the prince met the North Korean envoy privately this time because he fell in love with several beauties from North Korea." I tried to dispel Comrade Lao Jiu's extremely inhumane plan: "Even if we shake it out in front of the emperor, it is not a big mistake, and who doesn't know about the prince's preference for beauty?" ”

However, Brother Jiu is not the eighth brother, and he will not listen to my persuasion, "So what, in short, it will only be good for us and not bad, and it is good to make Huang Ama disappointed in him!" ”

Just because of this you sent me to death? It's a gamble with my life! You simply say that my life is worthless in your eyes, and it's good to take it out and shake it casually. "Then what does Brother Nine want me to do?" The premise is that you have to keep me safe, otherwise I wouldn't be so stupid to die for you.

"You have to do it very simply, that is-" Brother Jiu cleared his throat, "Although we have also placed people in the prince's place, the prince has been very suspicious in recent years, so-"

"So you don't really know much about the exact movements of the prince, do you?" I followed his words and said helplessly: "And it's not convenient for your elder brother to walk in the palace, so you want me to keep an eye on the prince and tell you the exact time of the meeting between the prince and the Korean envoys, right?" ”

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "You know what I appreciate about you, that's it, you can always understand other people's minds thoroughly, but you will never let others see through what you are thinking." ”

Thank you so much, you have become my confidant! But how could I feel the urge to bite off a piece of your flesh when I heard your words? "The question is, Brother Jiu, I'm in Cining Palace now, how can I take care of the prince's affairs?" So, you hurry up and change people, anyway, you are fighting for the throne and I don't have my share, can I take that kind of risk?

"You're wrong, it's up to you." Brother Jiu interrupted my delusion with a word: "In ten days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the prince has worked hard to please the Queen Mother and her old man this time in order to show his filial piety." ”

Sure enough, he had already blocked my retreat, and it turned out that there was still this heavy relationship-I thought depressedly: "That is-"

"Yes, the prince wants to surprise the queen mother with a hundred plays in Cining Palace on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he must arrange and take care of it with someone from Cining Palace, and then you just need——"

"No need to do it, I'm very idle, literate, and the most important thing is that my identity can be considered to be the master, I don't have to volunteer to be me." I said depressedly, trying to make one last effort for my life: "But why are you so sure that the prince will trust me? ”

"In fact, the prince has now become a frightened bird, and he doesn't trust anyone." Brother Jiu kindly reminded me, "So, you are very suitable, after all, you are the celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, the kind of person he is eager to buy now." ”

"Brother Nine is really calculating, and he doesn't miss a step!" I couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Thanks for the compliment, Gege's intelligence is unparalleled in the world." Lao Jiu easily threw my words back, and said sarcastically: "It may be difficult for others to gain the trust of the prince, but who are you, I believe that if you want to do this, it can be said that it is effortless!" ”

Thank you, Brother Jiu, for looking up to me so much - being looked up to like this by you is even more unlucky than being struck by lightning on a sunny day!

Seeing that I was standing there without saying a word, Brother Jiu added: "Also, you designed my mother before, don't look at me I don't know!" ”

You know, you know that you still let them mess with me like this? "Since I dare to do it, I don't plan to hide it from you." He even said this, if I don't say it simply, I guess he will directly kill me for his mother. "Doing things for you, Ninth Master, I am convinced. But I only serve you Jiu Ye alone, if Jiu Ye wants me to do things smoothly, don't let Concubine Yi Niangniang target me again! ”

finally got my assurance, and Lao Jiu also counted out a matter of his heart - as for his mother's face, it is not worth mentioning in front of the throne at all. "Okay, I promise that my mother will never embarrass you again in the future."

"What can you guarantee?" Brother Jiu, we are not naïve people, and you know that I will not believe any empty promises.

"Just because I have already told my mother, I like you, and soon I will ask Huang Ama for you." Lao Jiu said very easily.

“……”

The whole world can say the word "like" so easily and so irresponsibly, except for me, who probably belongs to the one standing in front of me - in this regard, we are indeed a perfect match!

Now I can be completely speechless!
