Chapter 524: A Plan in the Dark

After Liu Manping's persuasion, Tuoba Luoxia was quiet for a while, but Tuoba Lie's sudden decision still caught them off guard.

"Queen Mother, the emperor is going to abolish the princess."

A few days later, a little palace maid ran to Liu Manping's side to report the situation.

"What? Abolish the princess? Wasn't it good before? You didn't tell anyone about it, did you? The princess doesn't know either, right? ”

"Back to the queen's mother, the slave didn't tell anyone, the slave and the maid overheard the emperor's chatter, so they found a time to come to the mother."

"Okay, I see, you go down! Don't tell anyone about this, especially before the emperor announces it. ”

After sending the little palace maid away, Liu Manping fell into anxiety.

He hadn't visited Tuoba Lie in the past few days, so why did he suddenly change his mind? Did you hear any rumors from the capital again?

I won't know the specific situation if I think about it here for a long time, so I might as well go and visit Tuoba Lie.

After Liu Manping made up her mind, she came to Tuoba Lie's bedroom, and only then did she find that Tuoba Lie was very different from the past. In the past, Tuoba Lie was very energetic, but now Tuoba Lie looks very tired and even a little old.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Is it not enough rest? Although Liu Manping wanted to ask him about Tuoba Luoxia, she still expressed concern for Tuoba Lie.

Tuoba Lie took a breath, coughed a few times, and looked at Liu Manping. In the past few days, he has gradually felt that his body is a little inadequate.

"It's nothing, it's just that there's been too much going on these days."

Tuoba Lie was right, on the one hand, he was thinking about the relationship with Mingyue Kingdom, and on the other hand, he couldn't sleep at all because of the tax, plus Tuoba Luoxia's reason, which made his whole person become much older.

"Since you're here, I'm going to tell you something." When she heard Tuoba Lie say this, Liu Manping had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, Tuoba told her of the decision to abolish the princess.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you wouldn't abolish the princess? And Luo Xia was very obedient during this time, and she didn't cause any trouble. ”

As soon as Liu Manping finished saying this, Tuoba Luoxia came here, she originally wanted to visit Tuoba Lie, but she didn't expect to hear the conversation between the two of them, and she couldn't help but rush in.

"Father, why did you abolish me?"

When Liu Manping saw Tuoba Luoxia appear like this, she knew that her hope of interceding for her had been completely dashed.

"Why did you abolish you, you should know in your heart." After seeing Tuoba Luoxia, Tuoba Lie was angry.

To put it bluntly, the current situation is largely related to Tuoba Luoxia.

"I don't know, I don't know at all."

Tuoba Luoxia was still yelling there, but Tuoba was angry and stepped forward to give her a slap.

"Is it clear now?"

His action made everyone present stunned, and after beating Tuoba Luoxia, Tuoba Lie returned to the bookcase, wrote out the holy decree abolishing the princess, and let his father-in-law pass it on.

The ministers were a little surprised when they heard the news, but the people were very happy when they heard the news.

No matter how Liu Manping and Tuoba Luoxia objected, this matter was a foregone conclusion, so Tuoba Luoxia moved out of the princess suit she lived in before and changed to another house.

Although the title of princess was withdrawn, because of Liu Manping, she still secretly enjoyed the treatment of a princess, and Tuoba Lie didn't know about it.

In order to show that she understands the righteousness, Liu Manping deliberately did not put forward other opinions on the abolition of the princess, which also won Tuoba Lie's trust, but in fact, Liu Manping only had hatred for Tuoba Lie in her heart.

Their mother and daughter abandoned Mingyue Kingdom at that time and followed Tuoba Lie here, but they didn't expect to fall into such a fate, as soon as they thought of this, the resentment in Liu Manping's heart could not be resolved.

After returning from watching Tuoba Lie again, Liu Manping met Prime Minister Feng on the road.

"Prime Minister, do you have anything to do with the emperor? The emperor is resting now, if it's not urgent, you can talk to me. ”

Seeing this, the prime minister nodded and told Liu Manping some things related to government affairs. The emperor did not shy away from her when he said many things before, so the prime minister also trusted her very much.

"Hey, now the emperor is almost confused, I don't know if these things can be handled."

Liu Manping deliberately said this to the prime minister, and sure enough, she saw that the prime minister's eyes became different.

"Does Lord Feng want to submit to the emperor for the rest of his life?"

"Queen, what are you talking about? As courtiers, we should listen to the emperor in everything. ”

"But if the emperor's decision is not wise, there is no need to listen." Liu Manping's words gradually made Prime Minister Feng have a guess in his heart.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Liu Manping deliberately leaned up and approached the prime minister's side. Although the prime minister refused, his body remained motionless and enjoyed it very much.

"Why don't the two of us share the emperor's worries from now on?"

In fact, the prime minister has long had this meaning, and since the death of his son, he has been thinking about how to take revenge on Tuoba Lie. Now Liu Manping's words provided him with a pretty good opportunity, and the two soon became embarrassed and got together.

Not only did they have the right to speak in the court, but they would not even let Tuoba Lie see the specific content of some of the twists and turns, and Liu Manping was ostensibly serving Tuoba Lie, but in fact he was secretly poisoning him, making Tuoba Lie's body worse day by day.

After colluding with Liu Manping, the prime minister became more and more unscrupulous, and at first he handed over part of the collected taxes to the state treasury, but later he simply did not report it, and all of them were filled with his own pockets.

At first, the ministers secretly made excerpts, but later found that none of them had any response.

What they know is that the prime minister covers the sky with one hand, but what they don't know is that there is also Liu Manping's help in the harem, and all the excerpts to impeach the prime minister were suppressed by her, and only some irrelevant ones were sent to Tuobalie's side.

"Your Majesty, now that no one in Izumo Province can inherit the throne, what should we do?"

After feeding the medicine again, Liu Manping asked Tuoba Lie.

Tuoba Lie also felt that it was time for him to think about this problem, with his current physical condition, maybe he would die when, and when the time came, Izumo Kingdom would be in chaos, and he would really become the king of the dead country.

"Rong Zhen thinks about it."

Tuoba Lie fell silent, he originally wanted King Yan to be a concubine and Tuoba Luoxia to govern Izumo Country together, but it was absolutely impossible to get married now.

"The concubine has a suggestion, why don't you let Luo Xia's child be the prince of Izumo Kingdom? Although Luo Xia is usually stubborn, if she gives birth to a child, it can be regarded as the blood of our Izumo Kingdom. ”

Tuoba Lie thought for a while and agreed with Liu Manping's words, indeed, no matter how Tuoba Luoxia is, the child she gave birth to is still the bloodline of their Izumo country after all.

After Tuoba Lie's words, Liu Manping began to find a face for Tuoba Luoxia.

At first, Tuoba Luoxia was a little incomprehensible, but Liu Manping's favor made her lose herself.

"You don't have to worry about anything, as long as you can conceive the blood of our Izumo Kingdom, the entire Izumo Kingdom will be ours, but you have to remember that this matter must not be spread outside."

After hearing Liu Manping say this, Tuoba Luoxia became even more unscrupulous, at first she listened to Liu Manping's words honestly and did not make too much trouble.

But later, several noodle heads could no longer satisfy her, and she had never conceived a child, Liu Manping was also a little anxious, so she invited the imperial doctor to treat Tuoba Luoxia.

"How? Are you pregnant? Liu Manping was very anxious next to her.

It stands to reason that she has found so many faces for Tuoba Luoxia, she should have been pregnant a long time ago, why has her stomach not moved until now?

After the imperial doctor's pulse, his expression was very solemn: "If you go back to the queen's mother, the princess may not be able to get pregnant at all." ”

"What? No way? After hearing this, Liu Manping felt that it was a bolt from the blue.

She was still counting on Tuoba Luoxia's child to become the crown prince in the end, so that she could control Izumo Province by herself, but now she can't get pregnant, so won't her plan fail?

"Do you know what is the reason for not being able to conceive?"

"I don't know very well, but it should be related to Her Royal Highness the Princess's body, so even if it is regulated with medicine, it is useless."

"Okay, I see, you can go back!" Liu Manping put on a pleasant expression at this time, and gave the imperial doctor a lot of rewards.

But after the imperial doctor left the princess's mansion, Liu Manping immediately called the guards over.

"Go, follow the Imperial Doctor, kill him when no one is looking, and throw his body into the mass grave."

If the news of Tuoba Luoxia's inability to get pregnant gets out, then all his previous plans have been frustrated, as long as this imperial doctor is killed, then this secret can be hidden forever.

The imperial doctor never knew that he had embarked on the road of no return when he left the palace this time.

After solving the doctor, Liu Manping felt that this matter should be discussed with Prime Minister Feng, so the two secretly got together again.

When Prime Minister Feng heard this, he was not as panicked as Liu Manping.

"Actually, I have a solution."

"What? Do you have a way? Liu Manping immediately looked up at him.

"There is a maid in my house, I don't know why she is pregnant, and we can bring the child in her womb when the time comes."
