After Lihua received the news, he sat behind Zhongli Zhengzhen's desk, was silent for a moment, and asked Song Ci: "Have you done your business?" ”

"Back to the master, the matter has been done, all the family members of the groom were sent out of Yindu, changed their names and surnames, changed their appearance, and got a new identity and road guide, no one can catch them."

Lihua nodded, closed his eyes and said, "If the regent insists on entering the palace tonight, he will do it." ”

"Master......" Song Ci opened his mouth with a little trembling.

In the past few days, Song Ci has always felt that something is wrong, but he can't find anything wrong.

He had been following Zhongli Zhengzhen for a long time, and he had been observing his master for the past two days, and he had not found anything abnormal, but he didn't understand why his master suddenly changed his previously determined strategy.

Song Ci has been doing things according to orders for the past few days, but today he really couldn't help but ask Zhongli Zhengzhen: "Isn't the master planning to cooperate with the regent?" Why kill him all of a sudden? ”

Lihua opened his eyes, looked at Song Ci, and fixed his face for a moment, then turned his gaze away, snorted lightly, and his tone was full of rebelliousness: "Why do I have to cooperate with him?" He didn't even open the best medicine I gave him, and he didn't believe me at all. ”

"If he dies, Nanzhao will be in chaos, or chaos, so it's more beneficial to us."

Zhongli Zhengzhen's original strategy was to privately contact the king of Jingxi to conspire, claiming that Jin Chuan was willing to send troops to support the king of Jingxi to ascend the throne, but all he wanted was to stay until the king of Jingxi ascended the throne, and Jin Chuan would no longer pay tribute.

On the other hand, he tried to pretend to cooperate with the regent, and used the reason that the Jinchuan Terracotta Club contained the power of the King of Jingxi, and promised to promote the regent to the throne, which was also the reason that Jinchuan would no longer pay tribute.

The Kou clan is the mother clan of the Queen Mother, but the Empress Dowager has a personal affair with the regent, and has been privately using the powerful resources of the clan to help the regent.

At that time, the queen mother Kou's family, the power of the regent, and the three forces of the king of Jingxi ate the dog, and finally he took advantage of the fisherman and waved his troops into the southern call.

And now that the regent is dead, Nanzhao will indeed be in chaos, but if there is no regent to control the inside and outside of the court, and do this Dinghaishen needle, the Queen Mother Kou clan will lose an important arm.

At that time, the status quo of the three-legged formation of the three largest forces in Nanzhao will be broken.

King Jingxi will definitely be eyeing the throne, and maybe he will desperately use the name of the Qing monarch to crusade against the Kou clan who controls the emperor, which is actually a rebellion.

At that time, Jinchuan's soldiers could no longer borrow Jingxi, and it would be particularly difficult to attack Nanzhao, and it would be even more difficult to profit from it.

Kill the regent now, no matter how Song Ci thinks, he doesn't think it's right.

And today's plan is obviously full of loopholes, if the regent is really so easy to kill, how can he gain a foothold in the court so far?

If the other party finds out that they are the ones who are in the way, they will not be able to hide in the shadows and stir up the storm, which is simply setting themselves on fire.

But Song Ci didn't dare to put his master's decision to beak again, because the recent "Zhongli Zhengzhen" was so terrible that even a glance at each other made Song Ci feel trembling.

Suddenly, he could no longer guess what his master was thinking.

After Song Ci received the order, he went to run errands, and after the door was closed, Lihua put down the tea bowl in his hand, closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

Song Ci had already noticed something unusual, no matter how much he pretended to be like him, he and Zhong Lizheng's true purpose was completely different.

These days, the people who manipulate Zhongli Zhengzhen all have to go through Song Ci, and Lihua knows that he won't be able to hide it for long if he continues like this.

It wasn't that easy to kill the regent, and since his last assassination, the number of people around him had more than tripled.

According to Lihua's speculation, there is a high probability that this poisoning will not be successful.

But it doesn't matter, even if the regent is not hit, he will completely start to be afraid, and he should not leave the palace easily until he finds out who is frequently attacking him.

And Lihua expected it to be good, the person who did the work for him was the last line that Zhongli Zhengzhen buried in the Regent's Mansion, but that person only had time to change the medicine and concealed it from the doctor, but the poison was discovered when it was screened by the doctor who gave the medicine to the regent.

When the regent learned of this, he was furious, and killed several groups of people who were waiting in the outer house, and finally found the body of an old coachman.

At that time, the old coachman had already committed suicide by taking medicine, but the regent finally began to fight all the grass and trees, and the whole palace entered a state of martial law, and he did not enter the palace tonight.

When Song Ci came to report the matter, Lihua didn't have any expression after hearing it, and just asked Song Ci to rest.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work today, Lihua has already spent a lot of money to gather a large number of bounty hunters, and as long as the regent dares to step out of his own palace at this moment, those bounty hunters will take his life at all costs.

Although the regent's side is full of masters, but the people in the rivers and lakes lick the blood from the knife, and they are not vegetarians, if they really stare at a person desperately, just like a hyena on the grassland, they can always think of a way to make the other party bruised.

When Song Ci left, the fierceness in Lihua's eyes gradually dissipated.

He reached out and pressed it against his chest.

There was a letter that had been turned to the edge of the volume, and the words on it were all words that made Lihua's soul dream.

Today is August 21, and it has been six full days since the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet.

Lihua only hoped that Princess Duanrong would come out of the palace sooner, and only when she saw her safe and sound with her own eyes could Lihua feel at ease.

And Gan Qiongying is in the palace at this moment, and the injuries on her body have almost healed, and the reason why she has no intention of leaving the palace in the palace in the past few days, and she has not sent any more news back, is that she is busy helping Gan Lin quit the tonic soup.

Gan Qiongying and Gan Lin didn't sleep almost all day and night, she lost weight several times when she saw it, and her eyes were black like living ghosts.

The recipe for this tonic soup has been taken, and Imperial Doctor Xiao is making every effort to prepare the antidote. But even if you prepare an antidote, you have to give up this soup to Gan Lin.

After Gan Lin went down to court every day, he was tied to the chair, although Gan Lin was not noisy at all, he just trembled all over when he tossed hard, and called his sister softly.

But Gan Qiongying looked at him like that, not to mention how sad she was, and she hated Kou Ning'an more and more.

Gan Qiongying has been paying attention to the news outside, but the information she can get is also very limited, she only knows that Lihua really dragged the regent, and she admires Lihua to the ground.

Even Gan Lin went to the court every day, and the wind direction in the court also changed somewhat.

Some pure ministers began to dare to speak, and even because the regent was not there, some officials impeached a group of cronies under the regent, and there was a very loud quarrel in the court for several days.

In Ganlin's words, it's like a pack of mad dogs that have finally been loosened.

And the Queen Mother's side, as Gan Qiongying expected, the two mouthfuls of blood that day cost the old witch half her life, and she is now paralyzed on the bed and can't get up at all.

The regent hasn't entered the palace for so many days, probably the queen mother also heard what happened to the regent, she finally knew what it meant to be in a hurry, obviously she even had to swallow blood before, and she didn't want to show weakness in front of people.

finally began to whisper and send someone to invite Gan Qiongying to speak in the Yi Nian Palace.

She invited many times, and even sent Feng Yin to pick it up, but Gan Qiongying was unmoved.

When Daokou Ning'an asked the dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, Gan Qiongying finally condescended to meet her.

The old witch put on thick makeup, half lying on the chaise longue, looking leisurely, but in fact she couldn't get up.
