I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 217 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, Palace Incident

Chengxuan four years, late summer.

The earth dragon in Qingzhou turned over, the houses collapsed, and there were countless casualties.

Wen Renxu was ordered by the emperor to go north to provide disaster relief.

Before leaving, Qian warned her mother not to accept any gift from a lady, nor to respond to those posts, but to just wait for him to return to Beijing to ask for the wife of his sweetheart.

After waiting for more than twenty years, my son is about to become an old bachelor, and he is finally looking forward to a daughter-in-law. The Prime Minister's wife is naturally ready for everything.

She was so happy that she asked her former boudoir for advice on handkerchief handing and the six wedding rituals. She was so busy that she couldn't be more prepared.

It's just that Yan Xiao left in such a hurry that she forgot to ask carefully, which girl did her son like? She is also very nice to people asking about her!

It’s not that I want to make judgments or impose rules or anything like that, it’s just that I can’t hold back my excitement and I want to understand it first, at least I have something in mind so that I won’t end up making a joke!
The prime minister listened to her talk day and night and couldn't sleep well. He was very sleepy in the morning and asked her to wait for her son to come back.

However, he was kicked off the bed and Xiti was scolded, saying that he only cared about political affairs and did not care about his son at all.

Helpless, Xianxiang had no choice but to make the bed and sleep in the study.

The day Wen Renxu left was June 15th.

The terrain in Qingzhou was dangerous and the disaster was severe. Wen Renxu stayed there for two full months.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wen Renxu, who had returned to Beijing from Qingzhou just in time for a grand banquet in the palace, had not even had time to go home and change out of his armor, so he went to the palace to resume his duties without stopping.

Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with joy. The Prime Minister's wife ordered her servants to clean the inside and outside in preparation for welcoming the young master.

No one knows that under the joy of this faction, murderous intentions are surging secretly, and unknown dangers are hidden.
-
In the fourth year of Chengxuan's reign, there is a wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival feast.

A sudden palace coup occurred in Dayin, and the life experience of the empress was a mystery. In broad daylight, Rong Cen was just the daughter of a humble servant, but someone actually confused the royal bloodline!
The imperial concubine Lu and her son, King Xi, were enthroned as Dabao and were renamed Youxuan.

But Rong Cen was defeated miserably and was thrown into prison.

The world is in mourning.

Imprisonment is no different from hell on earth, and no one can come out alive.

Just when everyone thought that she was bound to die, the Crown Prince of Nanxun, the original fifth prince, Jiang Yun, sent three letters of credence asking to marry the princess.

It is self-evident who this princess refers to.

August 16th, the eve of the new emperor's coronation ceremony.

Kangning Palace.

Mrs. Lu was served and dressed in the empress dowager's crown, with long golden armor on her hands, and she looked elegant and luxurious.

People are happy when they are happy.

She looked calm and kept a smile on her lips, which made her look more respectable and noble. "What's going on, Your Majesty?"

The person asking was Rong Zhu.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has been in the Renzheng Palace all day, and not a drop of water has entered." The palace maid returned tremblingly, fearing that the empress would be angry.

However, Ms. Lu gently put it down and did not pursue any blame.

"Power is the most persuasive thing. As time goes by, Jin Yu will definitely figure it out." She ordered to strengthen the defense inside and outside the imperial city and Kyoto, and then said: "Send someone to inform the uncle of the country to order the prison as soon as possible. Take action."

After all, Grand Tutor Lu Yi is her biological brother. Can he stop what his sister is going to do? Madam Lu wanted to seize power, so he naturally wanted to help her get what she wanted.

It was true that Lu Yi had initially promised Jiang Yun that he would always stand behind Rong Cen, but now the truth had come out, and the virtuous Concubine Dowager in the Forbidden Palace had personally pointed out that Rong Cen was not her child, but the product of an affair between the former Empress Dowager's personal maid and someone else!
In the past, Mrs. Ye had a hand in hiding everything. Concubine Xian did not want to join her in telling such a big lie, so she was designed to be imprisoned in a forbidden palace, and she would never be able to leave.

Twenty-one years passed by, how could she have seen the light of day again if not for Lu's rescue?

Lu's rescue was not in vain. She didn't care what the facts were. Concubine Xian's words could bring down Rong Cen, so that was the truth.

Thinking about the wonderful scene last night and the news of Rong Cen's death that would soon come to her, she couldn't help but smile.

Caihe was drawing her eyebrows when he heard this and was worried: "But Prince Nanxun..."

Mrs. Lu glanced sideways and caught a glimpse of Nanxun's credentials on the case. She frowned slightly and slapped the case with her hand, which was a sign of anger. "It's just Rong Yunqi, but I don't know what's good about it? So many people are willing to die to follow you!"

The palace maids and chambermaids were so frightened that they knelt all over the floor and held their breath. No one dared to speak.

The next moment, her frowned brows relaxed again, "Don't Rong Qiao have something in mind? Let her go."

"In case of discovery..."

"Then it's not the Ai family's business. After all, Princess Wenrui has always been pretentious, so it's not impossible for her to do something like a substitute marriage."

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

"There is no need to worry about Changle Palace. They are all boudoir girls who are used as tools of favor by the family. They are quite pitiful. Let them go out of the palace if they want."

The overall situation has been decided, and there is no threat to her son Jinyu from the left or right.

Then Lu made countless calculations and failed to realize that Wen Renxu had made numerous achievements and commanded the three armies.
-
Imprisonment.

Wen Renxu woke up slowly, and after realizing where he was, he stood up quickly, his handcuffs and shackles moving in response.

"His Majesty?"

He saw clearly the person in the cell next door and walked to the fence, "Are you okay?"

Rong Cen said calmly: "Nothing."

She didn't panic at all about becoming a prisoner.

"Your Majesty, this is a prison. I have no military talismans on my body, and I might not be able to do it with my bare hands..." Wen Renxu paused, glanced at the prison head, and lowered his voice: "What should we do?"

He just came back and didn't know the detailed plan. Your Majesty just said, follow the plan.

Therefore, during the banquet, the two of them looked as usual and drank Taifu's wine. As soon as they drank it, they felt bad and fainted.

Now he is thrown into prison, and he doesn't know how to escape.

Rong Cen closed his eyes and calmed down: "Wait."
-
The enthronement ceremony was held as usual and nothing happened. Rong Zhu officially became the new emperor.

All the officials bowed and knelt down and waited for everyone to disperse. Rong Zhu flew to Kangning Palace. He ignored all the respectful palace maids and chamberlains along the way. He went straight to the new Queen Mother's chamber and asked loudly: "Where is Yunqi? As you promised, as long as After the ceremony, she will be released!"

"Of course. Jinyu, you have to trust your mother. Haven't you read the imperial edict? Rong Yunqi, we will marry Nanxun tomorrow." Mrs. Lu scolded the eunuch who had finally caught up with him, and then continued: "Get married. It's a big event and time is short. Rong Yunqi needs to be well prepared. Don't disturb her. "

Rong Zhu sneered: "Believe you?"

He waved his sleeves and left without saying another word.

Arriving at the Renzheng Hall near the junction of the inner and outer dynasties, Gu Yizhou had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing him coming, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, all I need is the east wind."

Rong Zhu closed his eyes, his eyes dim and unclear: "Let's do it tomorrow at Mao hour."

"Yes."

After saying that, the two of them went their separate ways, and Rong Zhu went straight into the Renzheng Hall.

Gu Yizhou turned around and left the palace, looking down at the road and walking steadily step by step.

On the long palace road, the sound of rolling wheels suddenly sounded.

Gu Yizhou raised his eyes and looked forward, looking at the person at the end of the palace road from a distance.

The two sides did not stop, and the distance quickly closed.

The two people were about to cross each other when Gu Yizhou suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency, are you ready to take over my son?"

As Rong Cen said, Gu Yizhou was "incited to rebel" by the Lu family. He worked with Meng Qingzhuo, and the two people who originally served the empress openly and secretly turned into two secret chess pieces.

The mother-son friendship between King Xi and Mrs. Lu is not unbreakable. On the contrary, the mother and son, who share honor and disgrace, have long been at odds with each other.

The power of the original King Xi's party was divided into two, and the two chief advisers of the Lu family were also divided as a result.

Meng Qingzhuo, uncharacteristically, did not jump off the ship and continued to support the Lu family. Gu Yizhou hooked up with Rong Zhu.

Revealing Rong Cen's life experience was the work of the Lu family, and Meng Qingzhuo's methods were indispensable. Gu Yizhou, on the other hand, was responsible for helping Rong Zhu turn the tide and save the empress.

It seemed like he had walked out of the darkness and returned to the light.

Gu Yizhou looked up at the sky. It had been overcast for a long time and the sun was shining brightly. He raised his hands to shield his eyes.

People who walk in dark places all year round actually become photophobic.

As they passed by, Fang heard Meng Qingzhuo slowly say: "Winning with many paths is called winning. Losing with no path is called losing."
-
August 17, Mao hour.

The imperial city was brightly lit, and a red light appeared on the horizon to the west of the city. An urgent report was coming, the imperial prison was flooded, and the fire spread.

Rest early in the morning.

The new emperor was so anxious that he went to jail himself.

But they were told that when the official arrived at the scene, it was already ashes. After checking, it was said that the cause was caused by the dry weather and an overturned candle.

It’s dry weather again! The case of the former Queen Mother in Lingzhou was caused by dry weather and is still an unsolved case.

The new emperor was furious.

Mrs. Lu was very impatient when she was woken up. When she heard this, she suddenly woke up.

Something is wrong!
She just asked someone to notify her brother yesterday to deal with Rong Cen, and today the prison was burned down by a fire?
"Uncle Guo, could you send someone to the palace last night?"

"Never."

Every time her brother finished her work, he would send someone to reply, no matter how late it was.

"Go and check! Where is Uncle Guo now? Whoever passed the message yesterday did he really carry it with him!"

Mrs. Lu already knew what the problem was, and her brother might not have heard from her at all!

There must be a spy in her Kangning Palace! Who is that person? What a great success!
Madam Lu glanced around, not sparing everyone in the palace.

Caihe has been with her for many years. Although he is a member of the Meng family, he has loyally protected his master for many years and has not gone beyond the limit.

Wait... Meng's people? !

Mr. Lu suddenly looked sideways, his sharp eyes piercing Caihe.

Jin Liuhou had been under her command for many years, but Jin Yu stiffened her wings and went against her, instigating Gu Yizhou to rebel against her.

Obviously, following the new emperor is better than the Queen Mother. But Marquis Liu now continues to make suggestions for her.

It was impossible for Jin Yu not to win over him.

Therefore, the only possibility is that Marquis Jinliu can stay on his own.

Mengshi.

No wonder.

Mr. Lu fought against the odds because he wanted to take back everything that should belong to him for Jin Yu.

But her son was so stupid that he united with outsiders to deal with his own mother!

She had been planning for many years, but it was all in vain.

It turned out that the victory was certain because the thief was captured first, and the king was captured first. With Rong Cen in hand, there was no need to worry about anything.

Now the other party has broken the fatal dilemma with just a fire. No, maybe it's more than that. Jin Liuhou, Gu Yizhou, Wen Renxu... are all her loyal fans.

All of this is just a trap set by the empress.

Mr. Lu knew that he had lost.

There will never be another day to turn around.
