Chapter 63: The Empress is deposed
Brother Ning Ling said: "Without further ado, I'll go back to the 'Princess of Western Xia' and persuade her to do it." With that, he stood up and prepared to take his leave.
He didn't hide his brothers and sisters, and he didn't keep him, so he stood up and saw off the guests. He didn't hide it and said: "Your Majesty the Prince, please keep the matter discussed tonight confidential, so you must only succeed and not fail." ”
Brother Ning Ling sneered: "Xiangguo, don't worry, this is natural. Hehe, Li Yuanhao, when the time comes, I will definitely treat others in the way of others, so that you can also try all the means. After that, he said goodbye to his brother and sister.
Hu Zhenbang made a gesture to Mu Hanyi, and the two quickly retreated a few steps, hiding behind a big locust tree. I could only hear that the person who looked like a housekeeper led Brother Ning Ling out of the house, still holding the white paper lantern when he came, and walked towards the gate of Xiangguo's Mansion.
When he walked out of the gate, they quietly came under the wall and jumped out. I saw that the white paper lantern in front of me was swaying towards the way it came, and the two of them were still following from a distance.
Before coming to the Prince's East Palace, Brother Ning Ling did not enter the door, but turned to Mu Hanyi and Ayimu's residence. Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi knew that he was looking for Ayimu, so they hurriedly hid behind a rockery and watched.
I only heard the prince knock on the door and said: "Haisha, Haisha, take the liberty to disturb, I am the prince, I have important matters to discuss, please open the door." ”
I only heard the voice of the palace attendant from inside: "Back to His Majesty the Prince, Hai Yisha has returned to the Jiangfu Palace to live on the orders of the queen's mother." ”
Brother Ning Lingge suddenly remembered that Li Yuanhao had ordered that day that his mother Houye Lishi was responsible for training the "Princess of Western Xia" to learn palace etiquette, and indeed arranged for Haiisha to go to Jiangfu Palace.
Because the Jiangfu Palace was in charge of the Ye Li clan, it was inconvenient to go there in the middle of the night, and even if he had a full stomach for plans, he would have to wait until the next day. Thinking of this, he was immediately depressed, shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked back to his East Palace.
Hu Zhenbang and the others waited for him to return to his residence, and immediately came to Mu Hanyi and Ayimu's residence. Knocking lightly on the door, three long and two short for the message, after a few hours, Ayimu personally ran to open the door and welcomed into the house.
Ayimu said: "Big brother and little sister, you are finally back." Do you have any news......?
Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "It's not right for you to let Brother Ning Ling eat a closed door?" ”
Ayimu also smiled: "So you all saw it." I don't know what the prince came to me for so late, I asked the palace attendant Liu Ying to help find an excuse to shirk it. ”
Mu Hanyi said first: "Fortunately, my sister shirked it, otherwise he would have instructed you to take risks, use you as a gun, and kill people with a knife." ”
Hu Zhenbang was about to blame her for her quick mouth, but after thinking about it, sooner or later she had to tell Ayimu about it, so it was better to say it in advance, and when the prince looked for her and asked her for help, she would be on guard and could think of a reason to shirk it in advance.
Ayimu shook his head and smiled: "He is a prince majesty, and he will actually find me a weak woman, with a knife and a gun, I don't know how to do martial arts." ”
Mu Hanyi said: "Yes, sister, don't believe it, this Brother Ning Ling is really a shrunken turtle, his wife was robbed by Li Yuanhao to be the queen, but he would only slap the table there and shout cruel words, as soon as he said that he was going to kill Li Yuanhao to seize the throne, he retreated." He even said that he would let his sister assassinate. ”
Ayimu said: "Kill Li Yuanhao to seize the throne, did he really say that?" When she heard Mu Hanyi say that she was going to assassinate Li Yuanhao, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Hu Zhenbang saw that she seemed to want to agree to Brother Ning Ling's plan, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Second sister must not be impulsive, it is not easy to assassinate that Li Yuanhao, you think that Xiangguo, who holds great power in the army, does not dare to act rashly if he does not hide it, and the prince who can go to Li Yuanhao's side does not have the courage, how can you let the second sister take the risk of assassination, second sister, you must not move this thought." ”
Mu Hanyi saw Hu Zhenbang say this, and realized that what he said had made Ayimu think of revenge, and hurriedly followed Hu Zhenbang's words: "Yes, what the eldest brother said is reasonable, we are in Xiangguo's mansion, and we heard that Xiangguo's brother and sister and the prince were plotting to murder Li Yuanhao, and Xiangguo also said that he would be able to ensure that the prince ascended the throne, but when it came to making a move, these people were afraid of this and that, and pushed back and forth, which shows that they also know that Li Yuanhao is a difficult bone to gnaw, and this matter must be extremely dangerous." Sister, you still listen to your eldest brother, and if the prince comes to you to discuss this matter and asks you to assassinate you, you must not agree to come down. ”
Ayimu said: "Big brother, little sister, it is extremely dangerous to assassinate Li Yuanhao, but if Xiangguo and the crown prince have this determination, and I have the opportunity to get close to Li Yuanhao, I am willing to give it a try." ”
Hu Zhenbang said: "This matter is absolutely inappropriate, second sister, I know that you have a deep blood vendetta, and you can't help but report it." But you don't know martial arts, you can't take this risk, tonight your little sister and I also heard the prince say that he intended to let a martial arts master named Yeli Langlie in the Yeli family make an assassination, as for calling you to assassinate, it was just a trick he conceived himself, wanting to ensure their plan. ”
Mu Hanyi also said: "Yes, this Brother Ning Ling didn't dare to do it himself, but he said that he would invite his cousin, the martial arts master Yeli Langlie that the eldest brother said, at the ceremony three days later, let him make a move, that is, let you kill you at close range when Li Yuanhao wears the princess crown for you at the wedding ceremony, this is really dangerous, and you must not agree." ”
Ayimu said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." There is such an opportunity, this prince and Xiangguo both intend to abolish the emperor, although I don't know martial arts, but try my best, I may not be able to succeed. Elder brother and younger sister, pray for me, and bless me from killing my father's enemy with my hand. ”
Hu Mu and the others wanted to remind Ayimu not to be instigated by Brother Ning Ling at that time and risk the danger to assassinate Li Yuanhao, but they didn't want Ayimu to be so resolute, so they couldn't help but secretly complain.
That Mu Hanyi hated himself even more, and said what he heard in Xiangguo's Mansion just now, but he felt that he was trying to remind his sister that he had good intentions, but he didn't expect this sister to be so persistent in revenge and so stubborn. I had to look at Hu Zhenbang with a pair of innocent eyes wide open and help him.
Hu Zhenbang also knew that it was difficult to convince Ayimu, so he sighed unconsciously and said: "If the second sister is determined to do this, then you must try to bring me into the palace by all means, just in case, otherwise you teach the eldest brother how to rest assured." ”
Mu Hanyi also said: "And me, how can I not be counted, if I want to be assassinated, I must also enter the palace, so as to protect my sister at any time." ”
Ayimu had tears in his eyes, and said: "Big brother, little sister, you still want to seize the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", you must not act rashly for my personal vendetta, if it affects you for me, I am afraid that the second sister will die without turning a blind eye." ”
Mu Hanyi said: "Sister, what is not involved, don't say such things again, the three of us brothers and sisters live and die together, even if we go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, we should never give up!"
Hu Zhenbang praised: "Little sister said well! Since the second sister is bent on doing it, my little sister and I must go all out to ensure that the little sister escapes." ”
The three of them talked before the candle, and it was not until the east was white that Hu Zhenbang returned to his room to rest.
Brother Ning Ling was lying on the bed, thinking about it, and his mind was full of how to ensure that Li Yuanhao was assassinated at the send-off ceremony of the "Princess of Western Xia" three days later.
In the haze, I suddenly saw the door of the room open gently, Wu Yi was dressed in white, with long hair and a shawl, lightly curled with a purple ribbon, beautiful and still, but with melancholy on his face, he walked closer, leaned over to look at himself, with infinite pity in his eyes, stretched out his hand to caress his face, Ning Lingge tightly grasped Wu Yi's pure white right hand like jade, and kept muttering: "Little Moon, Little Moon, you finally returned to me, do you know that I miss you day and night......
Tears welled up in his eyes, he withdrew his hand and said softly: "Your Majesty the Prince, I am not your little moon, I am now Li Yuanhao's wife, your queen mother, and the queen ...... move."
Brother Ning Ling was surprised: "I haven't moved the queen, how can it be the queen who hasn't moved, I haven't ascended the throne yet, I'm the crown prince, you are the crown princess!"
Wu Yi said: "I'm going, I'm going back to the emperor, prince, please take care, don't think of me!"
Brother Ning Ling was in a hurry, and shouted: "Little Moon, Little Moon, don't go, don't leave me!" But the figure of the Wu Yi clan retreated farther and farther, and the retreat became faster and faster, and the door of the house suddenly opened, and the Wu Yi clan disappeared outside the door in an instant.
Ning Lingge sat up suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and saw that the flames on the candlestick had burned to the tray, and they were extinguished with a "bang", and the faint morning light was already shining outside the house.
It turned out that Fang Cai was just a dream of Nan Ke, and it was easy to survive until the sky was bright, and he couldn't wait any longer, and decided to find his mother, Ye Lishi.
Hurriedly came to the outside of Yuxiang Palace, and the maid in the queen's palace said: "Your Majesty the Prince, the mother seems to be sad and sad, I don't know if I will see you." "Ning Ling's brother was in a hurry, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and rushed straight into the palace. But I saw that my mother's eyes were red, and she was secretly wiping away tears.
Brother Ning Ling was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Ye Li wept and said: "My son, I am no longer your mother, and your father has deposed me. ”
Brother Ning Ling was shocked and said: "Is this true? He, he is so ruthless! Why does he treat my mother and son like this!"
Ye Li said: "Your father wants to build a 'palace' at the foot of Tiandu Mountain for the Wuyi clan, which means that he is far away from the other concubines, and only favors the Wuyi clan, and the other concubines are crying and crying and begging me to persuade the emperor, I am the queen, and I want to be in charge of the harem, so I naturally want to persuade him, and ask him to change his name, so he annoyed me that I was bad, and announced on the spot that I was dismissed from the throne, alas......"
Brother Ning Ling scolded angrily: "Damn! After taking his wife, Li Yuanhao deceived people too much!"
Ye Li hurriedly said: "Whisper, you are so bold!
Brother Ning Lingyu was still angry and said: "Queen Mother, he treats you like this, do you still want to speak for him." If you want to kill me, let him come, I am not afraid. ”
Ye Li wept and said: "Son, what kind of person is your father, you don't know it, you annoy him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect your position as the prince." I'm already like this, you must not provoke him to abolish your crown prince again. ”
Brother Ning Ling sneered: "Queen Mother, don't you know that the emperor already has another dragon son outside, and he has long had plans to abolish me, the crown prince." ”
Ye Li was shocked: "This is true, son, how did you know that your father, your father, your father and emperor actually gave birth to a dragon son outside, and they want to make him the crown prince?"
