After the powerful divorced their wives, they welcome the crematorium

Chapter 222 Assassination

Hubu Shangshu looked worriedly at the nearly mad Taifu and said, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"Since the king no longer cares about the overall situation for the sake of the barbarian king, is there any need for us to persevere?"

The Taifu's eyes were full of bitterness, "You and I are no longer young. Some of the latecomers to Xihuang were tightly restrained in the court, and there was no possibility of promotion to important positions, and the other part was completely rejected by her in the form of imperial examinations." Go on, we can't afford to wait."

"The old man has been calculating all his life, and finally managed to make the emperor turn his ears off the affairs of the world, and only think about the affairs of the world, so that the eldest prince will go far away in the northern part of the country, the second prince will lose sight of everyone, and the third prince will play with birds with all his heart, but he will be alone. I missed Princess Anshun."

The Taifu laughed at himself, "I thought that my daughter's family would not be a big deal, who would have thought that if she made a bad move, the whole game would be lost! This Princess Anshun has been setting up a game step by step to eradicate the dissidents in the Western Wilderness since she entered the imperial court. , her wrists are ruthless, and her temperament is hidden in the cotton. She will definitely be a big hidden danger in Xihuang in the future, and she must not be left."

Hubu Shangshu nodded, "My lord, what shall we do next?"

"Princess Anshun is currently confined. It's a good time to do something. Tell Xiaoyuan and Asheng to prepare for it. On New Year's Eve, when the murder is committed."

"Understood, I'll tell Madoka and the others to prepare."

"You can write back to Xihuang, and tell them to do it on the first day of the first lunar month, and we will do it as soon as the regent leaves Beijing." The Taifu tapped his hand on the table melancholy and said: "It has been decades, this chess game It’s finally coming to the end, this last step must not go wrong.”

"Don't worry, my lord," the Minister of the Household Department assured the Taifu, "The forbidden army has long been replaced by ours. As soon as the regent leaves Beijing, they will be like old turtles in this urn. It won't fall."

"It's better not to be careless. If there is a mistake, we will die if we have nothing to do."

Hubu Shangshu repeatedly said: "Yes, my lord."

"By the way, Mudan has sent news that Luo Jiuqing is planning to retire from the Mufu and go back to the south of the Yangtze River. What should we do?"

"In troubled times, it's better not to let people run around. Once people run around, troubles will happen."

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing that the time was almost up, the Taifu hurriedly explained a few words and then went downstairs. He first looked around and saw that there was no figure of Ye Wei and others before he put his hands behind his back and bought it at a passing stall. After picking up a small object, he walked unsteadily towards the Prince Regent's Mansion.

the other side

Mu Qiancheng was secretly looking at Luo Jiuqing outside Luo Jiuqing's courtyard, but Shi Shi suddenly fell from the sky and slapped him unconscious.

After that, he quietly picked him up and left the Mu Mansion. When Mu Qiancheng opened his eyes again, he was already seated on the bench in Juxing Pavilion.

Looking at Lin Jihan who looked like a Shura in front of him, Mu Qiancheng was so frightened that he trembled, he couldn't help but said angrily: "My lord, what are you doing!"

"Don't you know what this king is doing?"

Seeing Lin Jihan's appearance of wanting to eat people, Mu Qiancheng couldn't help swallowing, "Can I understand?"

Lin Jihan slapped the table hard and said, "Don't pretend to be like me!"

Eleven comprehended and took out a small knife from his sleeve and placed it directly on Mu Qiancheng's neck. The cold touch pressed against Mu Qiancheng's fragile pulse, so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe.

He smiled apologetically and said, "My lord, what are you doing? We've been friends for so many years, so we shouldn't use a knife."

Lin Jihan raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Mu Qiancheng raised his hand slightly, and pushed the sharp blade aside, "This sword has no eyes, don't hurt me."

Eleven remained motionless, still placing the knife on Mu Qiancheng's neck.

Mu Qiancheng glared fiercely at Eleven and said, "It's been so many years, why don't you know how to be flexible!"

Eleven showed no emotion, "My lord didn't say to let go."

"."

Seeing that Eleven was unmoved at all, Mu Qiancheng had no choice but to turn his gaze to Lin Jihan, and he said aggrievedly: "My lord~"

It's a pity that in Lin Jihan's place, except for Shen Mengqi, it's useless for anyone to act like a baby. Not only will it not make him soft-hearted, but it will also make him have an urge to kill.

"Don't pretend, I don't like this." Lin Jihan looked at Mu Qiancheng coldly and said, "Madam, is she planning something secretly?"

Mu Qiancheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he laughed and said, "What's the plan?"

"The king will ask you again."

Looking at Lin Jihan's cold eyes, Mu Qiancheng retorted: "No, madam and you are husband and wife, and you don't even know what madam is planning secretly, so can I know? Dare I know?"

Mu Qiancheng pointed out something: "If I know, then something big will happen!"

Lin Jihan didn't say a word, just stared at Mu Qiancheng, Mu Qiancheng panicked immediately, "No, what do you mean?"

"You're not telling the truth."

After Lin Jihan lightly put down these words, he stopped talking to Mu Qiancheng, he turned his head to look at Shi Yidao who was holding a knife on Mu Qiancheng's neck: "As long as you can tell him to say it, you can do whatever you want. "

Eleventh put down the knife instantly when he heard the words, and snapped his fingers directly.

I have heard about eleven pairs of tortures early in the morning, and there is a unique research on severe punishments. Ordinary prisoners, as long as they hear the name of eleven, they will be frightened, and they will be recruited. He was sent to Eleven.

Coupled with the crackling sound, Mu Qiancheng was already so frightened that his whole body went limp before Eleven was much better.

When Eleven touched his arm, Mu Qiancheng couldn't bear it anymore, he yelled, "I say, I say!"

Only then did Lin Jihan play tricks on Eleven, telling Eleven to step aside.

He crossed Erlang's legs, looked at Mu Qiancheng who was still pale and still awake, and said, "Speak."

"I don't know the details. It's just that when you and Shen Qingning got married, the emperor visited his wife, which probably means that the lady had already thought about it before going to Xihuang, and she took care of everything by herself."

"At that time, the emperor persuaded her that they were all family members, and that she would discuss everything with her husband. I think the madam must have listened to it. The emperor also said that she saw the madam stopping at the Prince Regent's mansion with his own eyes. The door, so I didn't go in to inform you of Madam's whereabouts."

"That's all I know. I really don't know what happened after that."

Mu Qiancheng replied obediently: "However, I guess, the madam should have known about the matter of the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials this time, and she deliberately made this matter big, maybe it was to make people in Xihuang attack Point it all at her."

Lin Jihan was silent for a long time before recovering his voice, "Did she come back on the day my king and Shen Qingning got married?"

Mu Qiancheng nodded, he was sure that he heard it right.

"She definitely came back."

Lin Jihan only felt that his heart was hit hard by something, he ignored Mu Qiancheng, and said directly to Eleven: "Go, call Seventeen over."

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Mu Qiancheng couldn't help but said, "Then can I go?"

It was an eventful time at this time, and there was another time bomb, Peony, in the Mu's mansion. He was really worried about putting Luo Jiuqing in the Mu's mansion.

Lin Jihan couldn't care about Mu Qiancheng anymore, he waved his hand, and Mu Qiancheng immediately left as if running for his life.

After a while, Shi Qi who was guarding Nanyuan was brought over by Shi Qi.

Before Seventeen could salute, Lin Jihan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Seventeen, did Madam go back to the mansion before going to Xihuang?"

Seventeen nodded and said: "Madam just looked outside the mansion, but didn't enter the mansion. She said that it was the prince's big day, she shouldn't disturb your pleasure with the wife, so I told her to leave news."

"Then Madam told me to tell you the next morning, and I told you that day on my own initiative." Shi Qi was not sure what Lin Jihan wanted to do when he asked these questions.

He directly knelt down on the ground and said to Lin Jihan, "This is all my own fault. If the prince wants to punish him, he should fine him seventeen."

Looking at Seventeen who was kneeling on the ground with a remorseful face, Lin Jihan felt even more regretful at the moment. If he could always stand firmly by her side, wouldn't they have come to this point now?

"The king knows, you can go down."

"Yes."

Lin Jihan looked at Eleven in the room: "You go down too."

"Yes."

In the huge Prince Regent's Mansion, there were crowds of people outside the house, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, looking happy to welcome the New Year, but Lin Jihan felt chilled and homeless.

Inside the palace

Not long after Shen Mengqi sent the emperor away, Shen Nanchen found her after a while.

Seeing Shen Nanchen's worried and anxious face, Shen Mengqi laughed instead, "Second Brother, why are you panicking?"

"Are you okay? I was caught up in the household affairs today, and I didn't even have time to go to court before I knew you were beaten." Shen Nanchen took out a bunch of bottles and jars from his arms and said to Shen Mengqi : "These are medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."

"The most important thing for you is to save face. You must not be able to bear to show yourself in front of others."

Shen Mengqi smiled. After all these years, Shen Nanchen was the one who knew her best.

She took the ointment in Shen Nanchen's hand without hesitation, and slowly wiped it on her face.

Shen Nanchen took the opportunity to whisper to Shen Mengqi: "Shangshu Hubu may have found out early in the morning that we did not break up, and now he is arranging me some frivolous and trivial tasks, and I have no access to Hubu. Core."

"I feel relieved when he does that."

Looking at the relaxed Shen Mengqi, Shen Nanchen became a little confused, "Huh?"

Shen Mengqi explained: "Shangshu Hubu sent you to the edge, which means he doesn't know what our real purpose is. The more you do this, the safer you will be."

"The more you are on the edge, the more you can observe the movement of the granary and the treasury. As long as we ensure that the items in the remaining granary and the treasures in the treasury are not transported to the West Wilderness, we will win this game."

Shen Nanchen nodded, "I don't know if it's because of Xihuang's recent failure on the battlefield. Hubu hasn't moved anything outside recently, and Hubu Shangshu has also restrained himself a lot. He doesn't even have peony. See you."

It stands to reason that they were hurt by the war, so they should transfer the things of Tianyuan Kingdom to fill the West Wilderness, but this time they didn't. If things go wrong, there must be demons.

Shen Mengqi pointed out: "Keep an eye on the movement of the household department and strengthen the security in the city."

"I understand, don't worry about things outside, the most important thing right now is to take care of yourself." Shen Nanchen looked around and said to Shen Mengqi: "This palace is the most dangerous place."

Shen Mengqi nodded, "Don't worry."

Through the open door, Shen Nanchen saw the things Shen Mengqi played with when she was a child. He couldn't help but frowned worriedly. He looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "Or I'll guard you tonight."

Shen Mengqi knew that he was worried that he would have nightmares about old things and old things again.

"No need, second brother, if you guard the gate with your current status, the court will be shaken, so go home and accompany Cheng Xingchen."

Seeing Shen Mengqi insisting again and again, Shen Nanchen couldn't say anything more, so he could only turn around and leave.

After sending Shen Nanchen away, before Shen Mengqi turned around, she saw Wang Momo beside the Queen Mother walking towards her palace.

Shen Mengqi stood up straight, looked at Wang Momo and asked, "Wang Momo, is there any order from the imperial grandmother for you to come so late?"

"I can't talk about orders." Wang Momo looked at Shen Mengqi and said with a loving face: "The queen mother heard that you were claustrophobic, and her heart was so distressed that she specially asked the old slave to bring you a bowl of ginseng soup to make up for it. Her Royal Highness, taste it quickly and see if it tastes good."

After eating the steaming ginseng soup, Shen Mengqi was burned into submission. She smiled at Wang Momo and said, "It's good, thank you Wang Momo."

"As long as Her Royal Highness likes it, I will give it to you every day."

As she spoke, Wang Momo took out another jade bottle from her bosom, and she stuffed the jade bottle into Shen Mengqi's hand and said, "The Queen Mother also said that Her Royal Highness is perfect, so there must be no marks on this face. This is the scar-removing cream that the queen mother asked the old slave to go to the imperial hospital to find. You can apply it and get a good night's sleep, and you will be fine tomorrow."

Shen Mengqi smiled, "I troubled the imperial grandmother to think about it, so Meng Qi accepted it. Please ask the nanny to greet the imperial grandmother on Mengqi's behalf. It is Meng Qi who is not filial, and the imperial grandmother is worried."

Wang Momo shook her head and said: "The queen mother is old enough to say that her princess is never wrong, and any mistakes are the fault of others. You can stay here with peace of mind, and you will come out when it is time to observe the new year." .”

"Mengqi understands."

Wang Momo looked at Shen Mengqi worriedly, she explained a lot before slowly walking towards the Palace of Compassion.

After this day, no one came to see Shen Mengqi again, only the ginseng soup from the Compassion Ning Palace was delivered to Shen Mengqi every day.

On the day of the New Year's Eve, the ginseng soup was delivered earlier than before, Shen Mengqi looked at the unfamiliar little maid and said, "Why isn't the Jiangzhu who is next to Wang Nao come to deliver the soup today?"

The little maid said with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "It's New Year's Eve today, Sister Jiangzhu and Nanny Wang want to prepare other things, so I asked the little one to come and give it away."
