The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 509
Peijun, Yingcheng.

Du Yueer took Lu Linsu to Yingcheng in a carriage.Looking at the old capital of the Wei Kingdom, Lu Linsu's eyes lit up.

"Mother, I have read the old stories of Pei County in the book. Back then, Lady Qin was still the concubine of Liang Guo, and she dared to demand the establishment of Pei County, which is autonomous by the Pei people, in front of His Majesty Ning Emperor. Now it seems that Yingcheng is really It's not worse than Hancheng." Lu Linsu lifted the curtain of the car to see the bustling and bustling streets of Yingcheng, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Du Yue'er smiled: "The empress's ability is comparable to ordinary people. If you can learn from your empress, it will be a great blessing."

"Mother Concubine, what do you think of the Empress moving into King Zhao's Mansion?" Lu Linsu asked, "No matter what, King Zhao is the empress's son-in-law. It’s still a lot of criticism.”

Du Yue'er sighed: "You girl have been following your mother for so many years, why haven't you made any progress at all?"

"Mother, did I say something wrong again?" Lu Linsu asked with a frown.

Du Yue'er smiled: "Do you really think that the woman who changed her name to Shuying in Prince Zhao's Mansion is the Empress?"

"Ah?" Lu Linsu stared wide-eyed, "Mom, what did you say?"

Du Yue'er said: "As for my mother, I have stayed with the empress for a long time. The empress is extremely unruly in her bones, and she only loves His Majesty Emperor Ning. Not only will she not commit herself to King Zhao, but she will even be in love with King Zhao. When I was thinking about it, I already had the intention to kill him."

"So mother, do you think that Shuying is not the empress?!" Lu Linsu shook his head, "But mother, you don't have any evidence. Just based on your impression of the empress more than ten years ago, it is too unconvincing."

"Actually, I can't give you any evidence, only intuition," Du Yue'er smiled slightly, "If you don't believe it now, you will believe it later."

Lu Linsu pouted: "Mother, who are we here to meet? Those coachmen and guards didn't say a word."

Du Yue'er smiled: "If I guess correctly, we are going to meet the real Empress Qin."

"Ah?!" Lu Linsu could stuff an egg into his mouth, "Really?!"

Du Yue'er knocked on Lu Linsu's head: "Your stupid brain is completely inherited from your father, why is your mother's wisdom not inherited at all. You are so stupid, how could His Highness Qingchi like you."

Lu Linsu covered her head and said, "How stupid am I? His Highness still praised me for being smart."

"His Royal Highness Qingchi really misjudged."

"Mother, why are you turning your elbows outward, praising others for hurting your daughter?"

"Okay, hurry up and pack up your appearance, it should be here soon."

"Mom, how do you know it's almost here?"

"Intuition." Du Yue'er replied.

"What intuition?" Lu Linsu asked.

Du Yue'er hated that iron could not be made into steel, looked at her daughter and said, "Didn't you notice that the noise from the market outside the car is gone?"

"Oh." Lu Linsu quickly stroked his hair and straightened his clothes.

Sure enough, the car gradually stopped, and the driver at the door said: "Madam, Miss, please get out of the car."

Lu Linsu lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and turned to help Du Yueer.

After the two stood still, Lie Xie walked up to them: "Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, long time no see."

When Lu Linsu saw Lie Xian, she immediately exclaimed in her heart that her mother only thought it was so powerful.

Du Yue'er took Lu Linsu to salute Lie Xie: "Supervisor Lie, please come and be safe."

Lu Linsu: "Linsu has met the Lieutenant Supervisor."

Lie Xian smiled politely at Lu Linsu, and then said to Du Yueer: "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

Du Yue'er looked at her daughter proudly, but Lu Linsu had to cast her admiring gaze.

Entering this small farmyard, although it is not rich, the floor is very clean and tidy. Under the wall are some plants that have just sprouted, and there are a few crabapple saplings leaning against the wall waiting to be transplanted.

Entering the room, Qin Wan was looking at the information sent by An Yousi, and saw Du Yueer, mother and daughter, with a smile on his face.

Seeing Qin Wan, Lu Linsu immediately brought Lu Linsu to kneel on the ground to salute.

"Subordinates see the empress."

"The courtiers see the empress."

Qin Wan said: "Get up, everyone. You are not surprised at all. You probably guessed that I was the one who called you all the way to Yingcheng on the way."

Du Yue'er stood up and said: "This subordinate can only be sure when he arrives in Yingcheng."

Qin Wan asked: "Yue'er, can you guess why I called you mother and daughter?"

"His Highness King Zhao's reform is coming to an end, and about three new laws will be promulgated in late spring," Du Yue'er said, "If your guess is correct, you are ready to take action."

Lu Linsu was startled when she heard that, she never expected her mother to speak so directly and boldly in front of Queen Qin.

"Then guess what I want to do?" Qin Wan asked again.

Du Yue'er said: "Kill King Zhao."

"Hehe, Yue'er, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are the best at guessing what I'm thinking." Qin Wan smiled, "I have thought of many ways to kill Ning Xizhao, and I can let An Yousi go to assassinate; Let Qingchi go to surround his Prince Zhao's Mansion, arrest him, put him in prison, and sentence him to death on an unwarranted charge; he can also unite with all his opponents to impeach him, force him to leave politics first, and hand over all the reforms to him. Give it to your husband, Lu Shangshu, and find another opportunity to strike."

"The chance of success in an assassination is relatively low, and it will easily cause turmoil in the court, causing panic, and the reform will be easily affected. The method of encircling and suppressing Prince Zhao's mansion and handing it over to the Ministry of Punishment, and killing him on charges is acceptable, but it may cause his followers to mutiny , causing unnecessary sacrifices." Du Yue'er replied, "Through killing him by political means, it is possible to force King Zhao to rebel, and the safety of His Majesty the Empress and the two princes will be seriously threatened at that time."

"That's true. So what I'm thinking about now is to kill Ning Xizhao while ensuring the safety of Miaomiao and the prince. But Yue'er, if Ning Xizhao dies, do you think your husband can fully take over the matter of reform and will Is this going well?" Qin Wan asked seriously.

Du Yue'er bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty can completely trust him."

"Well, I have two tasks for you now. One is to let your husband fully grasp all the reforms. Ning Xizhao's current thoughts are all on that Shuying, and I just received information that Shuying just Xiaochan. So taking advantage of Ning Xizhao's distraction, you let Lu Shangshu play by ear."

"Yes, ma'am." Du Yue'er said.

Qin Wan looked at Lu Linsu, focusing on her amber earrings: "Linsu, how are you and Qingchi?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Linsu immediately knelt on the ground and leaned over, saying, "Return to Madam, His Highness Qingchi and I are just ordinary friends..."

Qin Wan smiled: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to be the liaison between me and Qingchi, and everything I need to tell Qingchi will be communicated through you, and can't be leaked to anyone. Including your parents, you might do it?"

As soon as Lu Linsu heard it, he immediately said: "Linsu will never give up!"

"Well, if you can handle the errands I entrusted to you well, I can ensure that your future status as Prince Rui and Concubine Rui will be permanent." Qin Wan said seriously.

Du Yue'er was startled, if Lu Linsu could become Prince Rui's official concubine, such an honor would honor the Lu and Du families.And Lu Linsu couldn't hide his astonishment.With such a promise, the mother and daughter thanked Qin Wan again: "Don't worry, my mother, our mother and daughter will do our best to serve your mother, and we are willing to do our best for you."
