Heaven wants it to die, and it will make it mad.

Since the Zheng family has done everything possible to send their adopted daughter into the palace for the title of imperial businessman, he doesn't mind pushing the boat to make the Zheng family even more arrogant.

If he can give the title of imperial merchant, he can naturally take it back.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the death of the second princess unexpectedly made him find out the private relationship between the Zheng family and the King of Qi.

The palace maid next to Qu Cairen was the person trained by the Zheng family for King Qi, and the main purpose of their action against the second princess was actually for the unborn child in Ming Jieyu's belly, but at that time, the Queen Mother and Concubine Ming were in Ming Jieyu's palace, and although the accident of the second princess caused a little chaos, it did not give them a chance to take advantage of.

In the end, they may have changed their plans and did not attack the third prince again.

At that time, he thought about directly attacking the Zheng family and the King of Qi, but the evidence in his hand was insufficient, if he attacked on the grounds that they murdered the princess, the Zheng family and the King of Qi might retreat as long as they pushed out Zheng.

Later, both of them will be more careful, and it will be more difficult for him to catch them again, so he hides it, and only lets people stare at Zheng Jieyu, the Zheng family and the King of Qi, and then uproot the King of Qi and the Zheng family after finding enough evidence to block the mouths of the people in the world.

However, the death of the crown prince made him not want to wait any longer.

What kind of things can make King Qi and the Zheng family have no place to turn over? There is no greater sin than treason.

Since King Qi has this heart, as long as he is given a chance, he will naturally not let it go.

He no longer spoiled Zheng Jieyu, so that King Qi and the Zheng family realized that Zheng Jieyu was likely to fall out of favor, and made them feel that if he didn't favor Zheng Jieyu in the future, then it would be very difficult for Zheng Jieyu to attack him, rather than waiting until that time for them to find a way to send other people into the palace, it was better to take advantage of the fact that Zheng Jieyu still had a chance.

After he pampered Zheng Jieyu again, Zheng Jieyu really couldn't help but do it.

Every time he went to the Ruyi Pavilion, Zheng Jieyu would let people put a small amount of poison in the tea. It's just that what Zheng Jieyu didn't know was that the poison in her hand had already made his people change.

After the king of Qi settled in the palace, he kept an eye on Luo Chengjing's condition, and eleven days later, the news from the palace was that the imperial doctors still had not been able to research the antidote to the poison in Luo Chengjing.

In the palace of King Qi, the lights were bright, and the staff and cronies of King Qi gathered in King Qi's study.

King Qi sat behind the bookcase, and after listening to the discussion of the staff, he asked a military general sitting at the head of the left side: "Cao Hui, have you done all the arrangements that this king asked you to make?" ”

Cao Hui said: "Back to the prince, all the lowly positions have been arranged. ”

"That's good." King Qi nodded, and now he just waited for Luo Chengjing to be poisoned.

Later, King Qi discussed the details of the entire plan with several staff, and it was not until Haizheng that King Qi let everyone disperse.

Several staff members and King Qi's cronies stood up on their chairs in the palace, ready to retire, and the soldiers of King Qi guarding the door of the study suddenly reported: "Lord, Liu Cang asks to see." ”

Liu Cang was the one who was sent by the King of Qi to keep an eye on King Ning.

Everyone sat back after hearing Liu Cang's request to see him at this time, and King Qi shouted with an excited look on his face, and he shouted "enter".

Dressed in dust, Liu Cang, who was not conspicuous at all, walked in from outside the door.

After saluting King Qi, Liu Cangyu reported: "Lord, more than a quarter of an hour ago, Lian Yongwang, the great eunuch beside the emperor, went to King Ning's Mansion with a box, and after a while, King Ning went out with a team of personal guards, and the direction should be to enter the palace. ”

"Are you sure?" King Qi stood up from behind the bookcase, and everyone else in the room also stared at Liu Cang with fiery eyes.

Liu Cang said: "The villain has seen the big eunuch next to the emperor, and it is indeed him who went to King Ning's mansion, but the villain is afraid of delaying the prince's affairs, and he came to report after seeing King Ning go out, and he is not sure whether King Ning has entered the palace." However, the villain asked Li Xing to follow, and let him watch King Ning enter the palace with his own eyes and then come back to report. ”

Liu Cang's words fell, and the study was quiet for a moment, and a middle-aged scribe sitting on the first seat on the right side spoke: "It is very likely that the edict in the box is the edict of succession." ”

"Send the edict to King Ning, the emperor shouldn't want to pass the throne to King Ning, right?" One of the cronies of the King of Qi on the left said.

A staff member with a goatee on the right replied: "It's not impossible, King Ning has always been trusted and liked by the emperor, and the emperor was able to sit on the throne, and King Ning also made a lot of efforts." ”

"What about the three princes?" Objections were raised.

"The third prince is less than two years old this year, even if the emperor gives him the throne, he will not be able to sit on the throne."

Cao Hui said: "But after all, the third prince is the only bloodline of the emperor, and no matter how close the brothers are, they can't kiss their own sons, right?" Will the emperor really pass the throne to King Ning? ”

Cao Hui's words silenced several of his staff for a while, if it were themselves, they would definitely pass the throne to their son, not their own brother, even if the son was not yet two years old.

This time, it was the middle-aged scribe who spoke first to break the silence, and he said: "The edict was given to King Ning, but it was not necessarily passed on to King Ning, the biggest possibility is that the emperor passed on the throne to the three princes, and named King Ning as the regent, so that he could assist the three princes." ”

"Whether the emperor passes the throne to King Ning, or the throne to the third prince, whether it is to let King Ning be the regent, if the prince wants to succeed, King Ning will be a stumbling block in front of him."

King Qi had already sat back on the chair at this time, and after listening to the words of the middle-aged scribe, he said: "What Mr. Ji said is not wrong, if the box that Lian Yongwang brought to King Ning's mansion is really an edict, then King Ning can't stay if he wants to ascend to that seat justifiably." ”

"This king thinks that the crime of murdering the emperor and attempting to usurp the throne is very suitable for King Ning, what do you think?"

"What the prince said is not wrong." The scribe surnamed Ji nodded and said, "If King Ning enters the palace at this time, the prince can just dispose of him for this crime." ”

"The prince can also use this as a reason to enter the palace for a while, and then he will say that the prince has noticed King Ning's crime, so he entered the palace to rescue him."

"What Mr. Ji said is good." King Qi was very satisfied with the remarks of the scribe surnamed Ji, and now they were waiting to see if King Ning had really entered the palace.

After about a cup of tea, Li Xing, another person sent by King Qi to keep an eye on King Ning, rushed back and brought back the exact news that King Ning had indeed entered the palace.

In addition, Peng Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy also hurriedly entered the palace before King Ning entered the palace.

"Looks like it's tonight." King Qi could no longer suppress his excitement, and said to Cao Hui on the side: "Inform the soldiers in the palace and prepare to enter the palace with this king." ”
