Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 473 Cooperation with the Queen

Su Rumeng brought Liu Yunxiang outside the hall, and then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yunxiang asked puzzled.

Su Rumeng smiled, "Go in by yourself."

Liu Yunxiang saw that Su Rumeng seemed to be in trouble, so she nodded and told Su Rumeng to go back to rest, and she went in by herself.

When he came to the living room, Liu Yunxiang saw the queen sitting on the main seat, closing her eyes and resting her mind.But I haven't seen her for three years, the queen's hair is all gray, her old appearance is showing, her brows are furrowed, as if she hasn't let go of it for a long time.

She is a queen and has two legitimate sons, which was the most favorable situation, but one and two sons are useless, she can't teach them well, and she can't protect them. Seeing that the situation is slowly turning around, she has nothing to do.

"You have already returned to Beijing." The queen slowly opened her eyes and looked at Liu Yunxiang, her eyes darkened. "Lao Qi died in Beijin. If I were you, I would hide in the north of Zhenbei and never return to Beijing."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Zhenbei is no longer safe for me."

"Oh? Don't they only recognize you and Lao Qi?"

"Shangguan Xu's people are in control of the situation."

The queen was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed, "That old thing is very cunning, and the only one who can escape cheaply in his hands is Lao Qi, what a pity."

"My son is in Shangguan Xu's hands."

The queen raised her eyebrows, "So?"

"So I want to ask the queen to help rescue my son."

When the queen heard this, she first thought that she had heard it wrong, and then thought that Liu Yunxiang was joking, but seeing her serious look, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You asked Ben Gong to help you? Haha, Liu Yunxiang, Liu Yunxiang, you went to Beijin, are you stupid? You actually asked Ben Gong?" The Queen laughed so hard.

Liu Yunxiang looked at her quietly, waiting for her to laugh enough.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang like this, the queen slowly put away her smile, "No, you are full of calculations like Yan Mu, you..."

The queen thought of something, slapped the table hard, and said coldly: "No matter what schemes you have, I will never trust you again, let alone help you!"

Thinking of how many times she was tricked by Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang before, she has a long memory, and she will never fall into it again.

This time it was Liu Yunxiang's turn to smile: "Queen, Yan Mu is dead, Zhenbei is lost, and I, Liu Yunxiang, have lost everything, so why are you so afraid? Besides, you came to see me today, so you are not just here to laugh at me yes, right?"

The queen narrowed her eyes, "Then why do you think I came to see you?"

"You can't deal with Jin You and Shangguan Xu alone, you need help."

"Heh, you said you could help me?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "We are helping each other. The Queen helped me rescue my son from Shangguan Xu. I will help the Queen reverse the current passive situation so that the third and fourth princes can return to their proper seats."

"Ha, it's up to you?"

"Is there no other choice for the queen?"

The queen pursed her lips. She was indeed gone. In the past three years, Shangguan Xu suppressed her father and brother, and the power of her father and brother was not as good as before.

She is now isolated and helpless, once the emperor decides to establish a heir, she has no chance of winning.

The queen lowered her eyes, she didn't trust Liu Yunxiang, and knew that she might be used, but she had no other choice.

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, and he continued: "The emperor ordered a large selection of beautiful women to fill the harem, what does the empress think the emperor thinks?"

The queen snorted, "The palace selects a beautiful girl every three years, what's so strange about that."

"But the last time the emperor canceled it, the last time, even though the election was made, the emperor sent out the women who were selected, and this time it was a general election. They were selected everywhere, mobilizing the crowd and arousing opposition from the officials. The emperor is in court. There was a rage in the hall, and many officials were dismissed and investigated, which shows that he did not follow the convention, but wanted to choose himself."

The queen took a deep breath, "The emperor has nine sons, but there are only nine princes in front of him. He probably wants to have a few more princes in the palace."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, and the queen didn't say a word, that is, the third and fourth princes are not good enough, and if the emperor establishes a heir, he can only be the ninth prince.

"The Ninth Prince is weak?"

The queen didn't understand why Liu Yunxiang asked such a question, she just said: "No, the Ninth Prince has practiced martial arts with a master who taught martial arts since he was a child, so he has become very strong through training."

"Is the Ninth Prince a stupid person?"

"Hmph, ghosts have a lot of eyes, just like his mother."

"How is your homework?"

"It's not bad, often praised by the Taifu."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Since the Ninth Prince is so outstanding, why is the Emperor in such a hurry to have another heir? Just pass the throne to him."

The queen was silent for a moment, then sneered and said: "The difference between the eighth prince and the ninth prince is ten years old, that is to say, during these ten years, the emperor did not allow other concubines in the harem to become pregnant. When Jin You entered the palace, she soon became pregnant. The palace did There have been such rumors that the emperor is in fact barren and Jin You is pregnant with a wild species. But it is just a rumor, the emperor doesn't believe it at all, and Jin You has Shangguan Xu behind him, and Shangguan Xu's power has reached the limit of his hand To be honest, even if the Ninth Prince is really not the emperor's seed, Shangguan Xu can still help him to the throne."

And she had already been trampled under their feet, and it was almost impossible for her to turn over.

"The emperor must have doubts, that's why he drafted."

The queen thought about it for a while, "But the emperor dotes on this ninth prince very much, even taught him martial arts and calligraphy, and even brought him to court, how could he doubt it."

"I didn't doubt it before, but now I doubt it. The emperor probably discovered something."

Liu Yunxiang didn't make random guesses when she said this, she remembered that in her last life, the Ninth Prince ascended the throne, Jin You became the empress dowager, Yan Mu was executed, and a scandal broke out in the palace not long after.The queen mother was pregnant, and she was pregnant with a eunuch's child, and the eunuch was not clean at all.

Shangguan Xu originally wanted to support Qin Feishi, but with his resourcefulness in manipulating the overall situation, how could Jin You conceive the emperor's child?

So she guessed that the Ninth Prince was not the emperor's seed, Yan Mu probably knew in the last life, no matter how much Jin You trusted him, he didn't want his tail to be in his hands, so he framed him and killed him.

Of course, all of this is just her guesswork.

"The empress might as well check the Jinyou Palace, especially the little eunuchs around her, and they might discover some big secrets."

The queen is not stupid, so she naturally understood what Liu Yunxiang meant, and couldn't help being startled, "How is it possible!"

"How would the queen know if she didn't check?"

The queen exhaled, "According to what you said, the emperor has already found out, so why didn't he deal with Jin You?"

"The emperor may not have discovered the truth, but he was suspicious because of something, otherwise the current situation would not be like this."

"If it's true, then..."

"The third and fourth princes will be able to return to their seats."

The emperor needs a son to stabilize the country. As for whether he can have a son, that's another story.

The queen looked happy, but then thought: "Then what benefits can you get?"
