Chapter Ninety-Seven: Conspiracy

"Lin Ruo, this girl is really not easy, as a priest of a country, not only has to be in charge of the sacrifice, but also has to work hard for this court political affairs, if I were her, I was afraid that she would have died of exhaustion. And the people who came to assassinate her, who do you say this Lexu said?"

On the way back to his residence, Yun Zhu said with feelings.

Yun Zhu said, "The Lexu Palace is not as calm as it is on the surface, the internal tide is surging, Leping is young, and his power is basically hollowed out. If you want to regain the power you have spread, I'm afraid it will take some effort. ”

"Spend some effort?" Lian Hua laughed, "Just the little emperor who can't afford to support him and only knows how to put on a show?" I think it's better to forget it, it's better to rely on him than Lin Ruo to be the emperor himself." ”

Yan Xi patted Lian Hua's head, "I think you should have more eyes than everyone in the mortal world, you don't just look at the surface, I don't want you to be no different from ordinary people." Is the little emperor as innocent as he seems? Everything is unknown. ”

"You mean that the little emperor's soft and incompetent appearance is all pretended?" Lian Hua waved his hand and laughed twice. "Impossible, my Lian Hua has never been wrong in looking at people, how can he pretend to be his little daughter-in-law?"

Yun Zhu turned his head to look at Lian Hua, "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight." ”

Seeing Yun Zhu's serious appearance, Lian Hua couldn't help but doubt himself in his heart. "It's not...... Is he really pretending?"

Yan Xi said, "The affairs of the mortal world have their own luck in the mortal world, we had better take care of it, and return to the fairy world after dealing with the matter." ”

One route leads the way back to the place where he was previously staying, and has just arrived in the hallway. Two girls of cardamom age walked in front of them, dressed in colorful clothes, smiling with eyebrows, looking beautiful like half-blooming begonia flowers.

Lian Hua touched Yan Xi and muttered in a low voice, "When did there be such a beautiful girl in this palace, could it be that the little emperor used the show girl for the draft? ”

"It's a pity?" Yan Xi asked rhetorically.

Lian Hua said, "Yes, Si Ming's words are not often written in the book, and the most important thing in the mortal palace is beautiful women. Isn't it a pity that such a watery baby wants to grow old here slowly, waiting for the emperor to come and see them?"

Before Lian Hua finished speaking, the two girls rushed to the front of the three of them.

"Sister Yan Xi, Brother Lian Hua, Brother Yun Zhu. The two girls shouted sweetly.

Hearing people shouting like this, Lian Hua looked at the two people in front of him and didn't react for a long time.

"Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo?" Lian Hua shouted tentatively twice.

"It's us, Brother Lian Hua doesn't know us after only a few days?" Tao Zhuo looked at Lian Hua with a red face.

Lian Hua said, "No...... You're not ......"

"I never said that they were children, they have lived with me in the Divine Realm for thousands of years, and you still think they are children?" Yan Xi looked at Lian Hua, "Now that they are like this, they are just leaving the restrictions of the Divine Realm and gradually growing up." ”

Lian Hua said, "What...... You mean the two of them are older than me and Yun Zhu?"

"So to speak. ”

Lian Hua looked at Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo in front of him, and felt that he had been deeply deceived. He is still good to people, and it is estimated that people don't know how to ridicule him in their hearts, laugh at him for not knowing the severity, and teach people indiscriminately.

Tao Zhuo stretched out his hand and pulled Lian Hua's sleeve, "My sister and I have grown up, and Brother Lian Hua is not happy?"

"Happy ......" is a ghost when you are happy.

Yan Xi looked people up and down, "Growing so big, it seems that you two are having a very comfortable life in the palace." ”

Tao Yao said, "With the orders of the high priest, those palace maids are very good to me and Tao Zhuo, and they bring up delicious food and drink every day." But why did you go for so long? If you don't come back, I thought you left us hostage and ran away yourself. ”

Yan Xi said, "There are still important things, so I came back late." I'm going to keep you hostage, and I'm afraid you're going to tear down the entire palace. ”

Tao Yao pouted, showing a bit of child's innocence. "Again, forgive you this time, if there is a next time, we will be angry. ”

"There will be no next time, when all the epidemic matters are resolved, we will return to the fairy world. ”

"What, so fast?" was obvious reluctance on their faces.

Yan Xi said, "Isn't the Divine Realm good? ”

"Isn't the Divine Realm good, Sister Yan Xi knows it very well? Every day is the same scenery, even the speed of cloud flow is the same, it's really hard not to be bored. How good it is to be in the mortal world, so many people to accompany you, and many new gadgets, no matter how tired. Or ......," Tao Yao finished speaking, and motioned with her eyes to Tao Zhuo to pull Yan Xi's sleeves. It took a while for Tao Zhuo to react, and then he reached out and grabbed Yan Xi's sleeve.

Every time something happens, the two of them will pull Yan Xi's sleeves and be coquettish, but this child has become a girl, which always makes people feel a little strange. "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Tao Yao looked like she had succeeded in her treacherous plan, "Or ...... Shall we stay until the New Year's and go back when the New Year is over?"

Lian Hua said, "New Year?"

Tao Yao said, "Yes, those palace maids said that their New Year was lively, there was a lot of food, fireworks and lantern displays. Finally, we will stay for a few more days. ”

Speaking of the New Year in the mortal world, it can't help but touch Lianhua's memories of a long time ago. Lian Hua looked at Yun Zhu and saw that he looked like he was not close to anyone, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"It's just a few days, and we'll stay in the palace for a few days, otherwise it will be difficult to have a chance to meet when we go back. ”

Yan Xi hesitated for a moment and looked at Yun Zhu. Anyway, she was looking for an opportunity to remove the demonic energy from Yun Zhu's body, there were many people in the fairy world, and there were people in the ghost world. It's better to get rid of the demonic qi in the mortal world, than to suffer the enemy on the belly and back.

"In this case, stay in the mortal world for a few more days, but ......" Yan Xi looked at Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo, "If you two dare to make trouble everywhere, you will immediately return to the fairy world." ”

The two knew that they didn't have to leave so early, so they couldn't be happy, so they dragged Lian Hua to the front hall.

"Got it, we'll definitely be in our duty these days. ”

The cannibal plague was solved, and the whole music was quiet in joy. Countless people knelt outside the palace and thanked the high priest for his rescue.

The prime minister looked at the people downstairs in the city, turned around and entered the house, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

"Prime Minister, now that the high priest has won the hearts of the people, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to get rid of her in the future. The adults who came with him sighed helplessly.

"Difficult?" the prime minister snorted coldly, "This demon girl has lived for hundreds of years, and I, the young king of Lexu, are not possessed by her seduced soul. If you don't get rid of her now, I'm afraid that Le Xu in the future will die in her hands. ”

"What my lord said is true, but this time it was indeed the high priest who resolved the cannibal plague, and if we attack her again, I am afraid that few ministers will agree, and even the people of the world will refute it, arousing the anger of the people. ”

The prime minister looked at the people under the city and spoke coldly. "The opportunity is waiting, I don't believe that she Lin Ruo can hide the first time, and she can hide the second time. As soon as she makes a mistake, I will try to get rid of her. ”

"But the emperor protects the high priest so much, we just find an excuse, but I'm afraid that the emperor won't agree. ”

"Won't agree?" the prime minister said, "Then divide them, if the emperor knows that the person who killed his mother concubine is Lin Ruo, the person he has always trusted the most, what do you think he will do?"

"What, the person who killed Concubine Shu is the high priest?" the adults on the side obviously didn't believe it. "Didn't Concubine Shu die of the wind and cold, how could she die at the hands of the high priest?"

The prime minister said, "When the first queen succeeded no one, do you remember who proposed to find Concubine Shu and her son?"

"Xia Guan remembers, it's the Prime Minister. ”

"Know why I'm doing this?"

"Not to find a successor?"

The prime minister shook his head, "Not exactly, in fact, from the body of the former emperor, I can see that Lin Ruo, this woman, can't be kept, but only the emperor can order the execution of the high priest." With the attitude of the first emperor towards Lin Ruo, it is impossible to give an order, and we must find a strong person to get rid of Lin Ruo. ”

"So, the adults thought of Concubine Shu's child in the cold palace?"

"Yes, when Concubine Shu was rumored to have an affair with a man, the emperor was angry for a while, and he threw people into the cold palace before he could investigate clearly. Concubine Shu's family also began to weaken because of that incident, even if it was a problem to keep the family property, let alone intercede for Concubine Shu. No one knows the truth of that incident, and the truth of the matter can naturally change from person to person. ”

"The prime minister is a good plan, but how did he ...... later"

The prime minister sighed, "I could have controlled Leping in my hands, but Lin Ruo still took the lead." By the time my people arrived at the cold palace, Concubine Shu had already gone. ”

"That'...... What did the Prime Minister mean by what he just said?"

"Concubine Shu died too strangely, why didn't it happen sooner or later, but the emperor sent someone to take her son back, and she died? So I asked people to secretly check Concubine Shu's body, and sure enough, residual poison was found in the corpse. ”

The adult was obviously taken aback by the prime minister's remarks, and it took a long time to react. "What does the prime minister mean...... What about the high priest's poison?"

"There were only three of them that day, and the emperor had always been merciful, and he would definitely not be able to poison his mother if he wanted him to poison him. And the only ones left are Lin Ruo and Concubine Shu, who sent Lin Ruo, and the reason is clear at a glance. ”

"Hey...... I have to say that the emperor was really merciless to his own women. Now, according to the Prime Minister's intentions, where are we going to get the truth of the matter to the emperor?"

The prime minister waved his hand, "Don't worry, add oil and vinegar, and there must be a place to add it." This time, you must hit it with one blow, and you can't give Lin Ruo a chance to turn over. ”

"With this matter, it is impossible to get rid of the high priest, and it is difficult for the relationship between the emperor and the high priest to return to the original. ”

The prime minister said, "Actually...... Lin Ruo is also a rare talent, and Wen Taowu is not inferior to men at all. If you want to blame, blame it, the country cannot tolerate two kings, and how can the power belonging to the king be touched by others? Okay, you go down first to appease the people, I still have something to deal with. ”

The adults on the side were ordered to retreat, and at this time, a man in black jumped from the eaves of the house and knelt in front of the prime minister.

"Your Excellency, the mission has failed. ”

The prime minister listened to the words of the man in black, and his face was very ugly. "Dozens of first-class killers, and even a few people can't handle it?!"

The man in black saw that the prime minister was angry, and hurriedly explained. "I wanted to see if I infiltrated and killed those people, but who would have thought that another group of men in black appeared halfway, with strange behaviors, and killed dozens of brothers. ”

"Can you see that they are the Jianghu sect?"

The man in black said, "Their moves are weird, not like the kung fu of the Jianghu sect." ”

"Could it be that there is a force in this palace that we don't know about, and what happened to the other people?"

"They have been successfully caught by Zhang Lian, and it is estimated that they will confess tonight. ”

The prime minister said, "The two teams of people will go forward, guide the spearhead to the head of Dali Siqing, divert attention, and I will make a plan." Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice several people for the sake of final victory. ”
