When the blood was about to be splashed five steps in the Xuanming Palace, outside the palace.

Yanhou Mansion.

Song Yixiao was trying to comfort Jiang Muyao: "Lu Hehao, he is now living in Jiamu Palace, what can he do?" You want to celebrate the king's bloodline, but you confirmed it in public! After such a show, how could Lu Hehao not climb along the pole, saying that his so-called rebellion in the past was actually an attempt to avenge the grievances of the former emperor? It's just that the opportunity didn't come at that time, and he failed to let the ministers see His Majesty's true face clearly - if he was whitewashed, how could Yuan Gongzi have a problem? ”

"Just tell me the truth!" Jiang Muyao cried out before she finished speaking, "Do you know that I escaped today?" My sister-in-law personally brought someone to the place where we lived, and wanted to forcibly take me back to Jiang's house - my husband had already written a letter to release his wife according to my sister-in-law's request!! ”

She burst into tears and choked up, "If it weren't for the critical situation, you know in my family, how could you do this if you are not an unreasonable person?!" ”

Because Yuan Xuepei lost his title, Jiang Muyao was implicated and became a people's woman - like Song Yixiao, she was not qualified to attend the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and naturally she didn't know about the storm at last night's birthday banquet.

It's just that she has a good mother's family, after Jiang Muying left the palace last night, while gathering her brothers' henchmen to discuss business, she didn't forget to tell her wife Zhuge to be sure to get her sister back to her parents' house, so as not to be affected by Yuan Xuepei!

Due to the curfew, Zhuge could not send someone to pick up Jiang Muyao until this morning, originally she wanted to trick Jiang Muyao back to her parents' house, but Yuan Xuepei's legs were not very comfortable these two days, Jiang Muyao was very worried about this, so even if Zhuge said that Jiang Muyao's mother was sick, she did not agree to go back to her parents' house.

I only believe that Zhuge and other sisters-in-law will definitely take care of their mother, and the Yuan family is inseparable from themselves now, and they have to wait for Yuan Xuepei to get better before they can go back to their parents' house to visit.

Zhuge Shi could only tell her the truth when he saw this situation: Lu Hehao, a common man, made such a big fuss, and there was no strong backer behind him, so the future fate can be imagined!

And Yuan Xuepei has been doing things with Lu Hehao for the past two years, Lu Hehao wants to be a tragedy, how can he not be involved with Yuan Xuepei?

And the Jiang family may not care that her sister was affected by Yuan Xuepei and lost the title, as long as Yuan Xuepei is still good to her sister. Anyway, the Marquis of Boling's mansion was not raided, and the couple was still clothed and fed.

But now the royal scandal involved by Lu Hehao is enough to leave a stench for 10,000 years and be a laughing stock in history - unless he ascends the throne himself, it is impossible to have a good result. As his henchman Yuan Xuepei, it is estimated that his life will be difficult to protect, won't Jiang Muyao be bad at that time?

So after Zhuge made a decision with his sister-in-law, he asked Yuan Xuepei to come out and speak, and bluntly asked him to write a letter of releasing his wife and reconcile with Jiang Muyao!

And Yuan Xuepei complied very happily, but Jiang Muyao refused to leave-

Song Yixiao looked at her slightly fluffy sideburns and slightly messy skirt, and thought to herself that Jiang Muyao was shouting at the back door today, and she didn't even bring a maid, it turned out that she had sneaked over.

But......

Jiang Muyao is a genuine daughter, and although the place where the couple lives now is not far from Yanhou Mansion, it is also separated by two streets.

As the head of the Jiang family, Zhuge went to the Yuan family to pick up her sister-in-law, so it was naturally impossible not to bring her attendants and subordinates - she actually ran all the way to Yanhou's mansion, and sat here for a while, and a cup of hot tea was swallowed, and she didn't find it?

"I didn't go to the palace for a banquet yesterday, and all I know is what my husband told me after he came back." Song Yi took a sip of tea with a smile, and said helplessly, "Whether this matter will be related to Yuan Gongzi, how do I know?" But Fujun and Yuan Gongzi have been friends since childhood, and they will definitely not sit idly by! ”

Jiang Muyao said suddenly: "Your Majesty has taken the throne, and the most justifiable person to ascend the throne is none other than the crown prince!" But the queen suffered such a big loss at the hands of Lu Hehao, how could she let Lu Hehao go? And the husband helped Lu Hehao do so many things, do you say that the queen is willing to open up to him?! ”

"Not necessarily!" Song Yixiao knew that Jiang Muyao was not a person who usually cared about current affairs, not long ago, after Yuan Xuepei walked out of the edict prison, he lost his title, and the couple moved and sorted out, Jiang Muyao was afraid that her husband would accumulate cold in the edict prison, and she had been concentrating on finding someone to regulate his body, and it was inevitable that she would not know anything about the recent situation in the court.

At this moment, he said euphemistically, "I just heard my husband come back and say that the palace gate was not opened until noon in the palace today, and about His Majesty's access, it was decided in a few words, and there is nothing to fight about!" However, there was a lot of quarrel in the court about who the new monarch would appoint - in the end, His Majesty fainted in public! Gu Xiang came out of the round, and the ministers dispersed. ”

"So the new monarch may not be the crown prince?"

Jiang Muyao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Then you say, who will it be?" ”

"Who dares to play this package ticket now?" Song Yixiao shook his head slightly and said, "If you want me to say, I hope it is King Su." ”

"But King Su is not in the imperial capital at all now!" Jiang Muyao no longer cares about current affairs, in the end, he came out of the eunuch's house, and he is very loved by his father and brother, so he naturally understands that when the court is discussing the establishment of a new monarch, King Su is still on the way back to the imperial capital, what a disadvantage!

They had already cleared the scene before they spoke, and at this moment, Song Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "But you also said that if it is the crown prince who ascends the throne, it may not be a good thing for us because of Lu Hehao!" Our Yanhou Mansion, although we have not directly offended the queen and the Wei family, but who doesn't know the relationship between the husband and Yuan Gongzi? How could the husband ignore Yuan Gongzi? It is because we naturally have selfish intentions, hoping that the new monarch will not be the crown prince. Others, let's talk about King Qing first, although he is innocent, for the sake of the face of the first emperor, the government and the opposition will not keep him! ”

"In addition, it is nothing more than the three kings of Xiang, Su, and Shu, as well as Lu Hehao!"

"Who do you say is good for us to be the new king?"

"The point is, who is likely to suppress the crown prince and ascend the throne?!"

Jiang Muyao was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "So, now you can only resign yourself to fate?" ”

"The mourning family doesn't believe in what is dead!" In the imperial city, in the main hall of Huiyi Palace, Mrs. Su was sesame behind her, "The mourning family is the wife of the first emperor, the prince of His Majesty Emperor Huizong, my Qingzhou Su family, how much did I pay for the first emperor?!" At that time, what did the Cui slut and her maiden family do for the first emperor?! If the mourning family has no children, it will be fine! Since the mourning family has a biological son, this world should be the blood and blood of the mourning family!! ”

She took a breath when she said this, pressed her hand to her chest, and seemed to calm down before she continued, "Especially if you turn a child into a sin, you can't live, and you can prove in public that King Qing is your own father and son - such a thing without a king and a father has lost all his conscience, and he still delusions that his father will succeed him!" Where did he get his cheekiness!! ”

"Niangniang, the only thing to worry about now is that His Royal Highness King Su may be difficult to enter the imperial capital within three days!" Fang Yu said worriedly, "If it is only counted as footsteps, His Royal Highness will be able to enter the city tomorrow evening, but the second prince has sent news that the Wei family has persuaded He Wenqiong to lay a net near the imperial capital, and as long as His Highness reveals his whereabouts, he will send guards to surround and kill His Highness!" ”

"And Gu Xiangye has already chosen the crown prince - Lord Qiu is difficult to support alone, and he may not be able to delay the determination of this new monarch for too long!"

"If His Royal Highness can appear above the court and compete for the throne with a clear sword and a gun, why should we be afraid of the prince and the Wei family?!"

Empress Dowager Su pondered for a moment with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "The mourning family understands the meaning of Shaoge: it's time to use that person!" ”

And at this time, in the Xuanming Palace, the short knife pulled out of Xin Xian's sleeve could cut into Lu Hehao's skin!

"It's easy for the queen to kill me at this moment, but I'm afraid that after you kill me, you won't be able to explain to the world - at that time, you will regret it!" Lu Hehao didn't seem to feel fear at all, the corners of his mouth were still slightly hooked, and he said lightly, "After all, everyone will think that you want to kill people, plant, stolen, framed, and harm!" ”

Hearing this, Xin Xian subconsciously stopped her hand and looked at Empress Wei inquiringly.

Empress Wei sneered: "Don't pay attention to it!" ”

"Kill me, you won't be able to stay in this imperial capital!" Lu Hehao saw that Empress Wei was really murderous, his face was also gloomy, he quickened his speech, and said, "Since the queen knows about the smallpox in Cuihua Mountain last year, I am the mastermind!" Can't you imagine that I will protect myself with this?! ”

"Now you think you have the upper hand, it's just because it is difficult for King Su to enter the imperial capital!"

"So the Su family can only stop the crown prince from ascending the throne first, and they can't even openly elect King Su!"

"But what if smallpox is found everywhere in the imperial capital, including this imperial city?!"

"Will you be able to stay then?"

"Even if you dare to take this risk, what will the court think?"

"In order to compete for the throne, force the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to resign themselves to fate in the imperial capital where smallpox broke out - don't be too happy for the Su family at that time!"

"Once you move elsewhere to avoid smallpox, the little people in He Wenqiong's hands will not have time to protect you, let alone have time to keep an eye on King Su!"

"And with such a delay, the Qingzhou Su clan is in charge of the army, as long as they are given time, they can mobilize soldiers and horses from elsewhere to escort King Su - as for the disposal of soldiers and horses without an edict, anyway, as long as King Su succeeds in ascending the throne, these can be erased!"

"If the queen doesn't believe it, she can let you, the palace maid, continue to cut off my head!!"

Empress Wei looked at him and was speechless for a long time.

After a while, Emperor Duanhua said a little bit: "Xisu, he ...... Is what he said true? ”

The emperor was stunned beyond words, "I remember, you haven't produced flowers either, have you?" If smallpox really ravages the imperial capital, you will definitely be able to escape?! ”

"And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all in this capital, and my Lu clan also lives here—once they are infected with this epidemic, I will be ...... What will happen to my Darui?! Lu Hehao, are you crazy?! ”

"If you can't get it, you will destroy it." Lu Hehao said indifferently, "Isn't this also a very simple truth? ”

He sneered, "The prince has a Wei family; King Su has the Su family; Your Majesty, you used to have the first emperor, and now you also have Gu Shao; is King Xiang, and there used to be an acting imperial aunt! The king of Shu is young, he doesn't know how to fight for power, and among the brothers with lofty ambitions, I have nothing! ”

"So I have to do whatever it takes!"
