The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 241 How dare you have two hearts?
"Keep your voice down, the maid is still outside," Li Daochong poured her a cup of tea, and pulled out a crumpled secret letter from his sleeve, "You can read it yourself."

Xu Lianyu took the letter and read it by the lamplight for a while, "The Empress Dowager wants you to hold the young prince hostage and force the regent to abdicate... commit suicide?"

This is the rabbit's dead fox cooking, and the bird's bow hidden!The regent has devoted himself to the Great Zhou for more than ten years. Now that the northern border is peaceful, the emperor has grown up, and the queen mother is going to... kill the donkey?
Li Daochong nodded and sighed, "If this is done, she will make me the king of Zhenxi, if not, my Li family will be executed. Tell me...how else can I choose?"

"Then...then you can't..." Xu Lianyu panicked and pulled her face hard, making sure she wasn't dreaming, "How can this be so simple? It's a close call, Li Daochong, don't be confused! "

"I know!" Li Daochong put his hand on his forehead, feeling troubled, "How could I not understand the danger? There are already many guards in the upper capital today, searching for my trace, how dare I enter the capital? The Empress Dowager and the Regent are fighting like dragons and tigers, and I, a young man, are caught in the middle, and I can't say it!"

"Master!" Xu Lianyu took Li Daochong's hand and suddenly frowned, "How about... let's go to Beijing and report everything to the prince and concubine. When they see the little prince, they will definitely forgive you when they are happy!"

"No! No!" Li Daochong pushed her hand away, stroked his beard and thought, "I reckon, it's hard to say who will win and lose in this battle between dragons and tigers. The Queen Mother now holds Longxiaowei and Xuanwuying in her hand, and still With Marquis Yongchang and Princess Chuijin loyal to her, it is hard to say that she will not make up her mind to pull out the thorn in the side of the regent. Right now, the northern border is in ruins, and the small country in the southern border is not a climate. It is the time for the Queen Mother to remove the power of the regent. .”

Xu Lianyu took a sip of the tea, and the hand holding the tea trembled slightly, "But the lord has elite soldiers and strong generals, and he has just returned from a victorious battle in the northern border. Don't look down on him in the capital. Yu Linwei, but the Hancang Army in the north, my brother in the west of Yunnan, and General Cui Shang in the south, all used to be the direct line of the prince. As long as he gives an order, these forces will all come at any time He came back to Shangjing!"

The regent king has occupied the Great Zhou for more than ten years, how could he only have Tiger Guard and Habayashi Guard in his hands, and An Guogong, the veteran of the three dynasties, how many soldiers and horses does he have in his hand?

"Alas! Far water can't quench the near thirst. After the queen mother kills the prince in Shangjing, what's the use of those big troops rushing back?" Li Daochong shook his head and sighed, "This Great Zhou... After all, it's not his Yang family, but Zhao's. House's!"

The Empress Dowager wanted him to arrest the young prince just in case, when the time came, the regent would be forced to commit suicide, and when the regent died, the other forces would be leaderless, so what?

"But the concubine is kind to me, and I have sworn to protect the little prince, so I can't go back on my word!" Xu Lianyu glanced at the little figure who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and stamped her feet in embarrassment.

"So I said, let's not worry," Li Daochong patted Xu Lianyu on the shoulder and advised, "Let's wait for the first news in Luobei Town, and wait for the winner of the dragon-tiger fight in the capital, then we will Waiting for the opportunity to enter the city, no matter who wins in the end, we will still be able to save our lives when the time comes."

"But the Empress Dowager... didn't she order you to take the young prince into the city? If you don't go, are you disobedient?" Xu Lianyu glanced at him worriedly, "Master, Ah Cheng has just been full moon, so you can't do anything. ah!"

"It's just that there are too many officers and soldiers guarding the city, and we can't find a chance to enter the city. I think the Queen Mother and her elderly will not blame me." Li Daozong held Xu Lianyu's hand again, "Madam, let you travel thousands of miles. I'm really sorry."

"I'm fine, I just feel sorry for Ah Cheng, she's just full moon, and she's going to be separated from me," Xu Lianyu said with her head down, wiping her tears, "I really miss her."

"Ma'am, don't worry, there are wet nurses and maidservants at home in western Yunnan who will take care of Ah Cheng. Luobei Town is full of people I have arranged for. Even the queen mother doesn't know where we are. You just take the little prince and hide in Luobei first." Beizhen, I'll go find the news in a few days." Li Daochong glanced at the night outside, "If the prince wins, we will take the little prince to Beijing to plead guilty."

"Master, if the queen mother wins, we can't... hand over the little prince to the queen mother, or he will die." Xu Lianyu rolled his eyes, "I was thinking, or, I will take the little prince back to Yunnan now. Xi, stay with our family's Ah Cheng..."

"Absolutely not!" Li Daochong quickly waved his hand and stopped him, "I abducted the young prince, and I have been wanted for a long time. I reckon that the prince's secret guards have already gone to the west of Yunnan. Our Li family and your brother's General Zhenxi's mansion is now under his eyes and ears, you take the little prince back... aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"

"Oh! Then we can only hide here." Xu Lianyu sighed.She misses Ah Cheng in her heart, but there must be someone here to take care of the little prince.

After everyone in the house fell asleep and the maids finished washing their clothes, the small courtyard became quiet again, only the sound of crickets.

A tall and thin figure in a black coat slipped out of the courtyard door, looked left and right, and chirped like a cricket.

"Is everything settled?" A thin woman in red suddenly appeared behind him.

"Back to the princess, yes, everything...is settled," Li Daochong hurriedly turned his head, bowed to the girl in red and asked, "Will the princess go in and have a seat?"

"Li Daochong," Honghu blinked his long eyelashes, stared at him with dark eyes, and suddenly sneered, "Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind! I heard what you said to that woman just now. "

"The Princess's lesson! The official...that is to comfort my wife, lest she do something stupid," Li Daochong cupped his hands and said respectfully, "The loyalty of the official to the Empress Dowager and the princess is that the sun and the moon can't bear it." Learn!"

"The queen mother said that you have been her confidant for more than ten years, you can be trusted," Honghu suddenly approached him silently, raising his eyebrows, "However, this princess will not trust people so easily. Remember, your Li family The lives of dozens of people, as well as the life of the woman inside, are all in the palm of my hand, if you dare to have second thoughts, I will kill one at will, and open your eyes."

In the back mountain of the Ksitigarbha Temple, Li Daochong had seen Honghu's martial arts before, and he couldn't help shivering when he heard the words.

"Princess! The princess is so good, how dare I have two minds? Just now I just wanted to perfuse my wife! I only have the queen mother and the emperor in my heart, and I will never hand Yang Yun back to the regent! As long as the queen mother gives orders Excuse me, even if I want to kill that kid immediately, I won't even blink my eyes!" Li Daochong hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
