Lady Wan Guan

In Yunshang Embroidery Workshop, Li Yuanniang returned to her room and smelled a faint plum fragrance as soon as she entered the room.

Li Yuanniang frowned slightly: "If you are going to die, you will steal my wine as soon as you come."

Walking around the assorted partitions, a woman sat on the Arhat couch, shook the white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, and spoke in a soft and charming voice: "My good sister, don't be so stingy!"

Li Yuanniang was very helpless: "I can't bear to drink it myself."

This is her carefully brewed plum wine.

"Wouldn't it be great if you brewed a few more bottles this winter?"

"It's easy to say, we don't know whether you and I can survive until this winter." Li Yuanniang looked worried.

The appearance of Princess Lingxi disrupted the imperial concubine's plans, and all arrangements were made in advance. She was afraid of making mistakes in a hurry. In such a big event, even the slightest oversight may be catastrophic.

No, the assassination attempt on Gu Zhouting failed last night.

Not only was the assassination unsuccessful, but he was also captured alive.

"Meng Mei, has everyone settled down?"

"It's almost done. Some of them will be placed in Beida Camp, and some will be sent to Huben Camp. Gu Zhouting never expected that the killer he was looking for went to the command of his best friend."

This is called darkness under the lamp.

The imperial court established the Huben Camp and transferred 30% of the troops from several large battalions. The strength of the several large battalions was sharply reduced. After discussion, the Ministry of War allowed several large battalions to recruit troops each, with the total number not exceeding 100,000.

"As long as Wang Xin doesn't make any mistakes, this incident can be avoided."

Meng Mei was not worried about what Shan Ying and the others would confess to, because they didn't know much. Everyone in Puji Temple had evacuated, and all the things were transported away. Gu Zhou stopped and could only miss it. She I'm just worried that Wang Xin can't handle it. Wang Xin knows more than others. "

"Can you think of a way..." Li Yuanniang made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Meng Mei shook her head: "Dali Temple is under the governance of Gu Zhouding. Our people can't get in, and Shen Jingshan can't succeed either. It's difficult to kill people in Dali Temple."

Li Yuanniang muttered: "To be able to pry open Shan Ying's mouths in such a short period of time, the Torture Department of Dali Temple is quite capable. I'm afraid Wang Xin won't be able to hold on for long."

"I told him before that if he misses and is caught, he must survive for five days no matter what. Otherwise, he knows what will happen." Meng Mei said.

Li Yuanniang looked out the window at the clear blue sky. In five days, the sky in Daqi will change in five days.

Gu Zhou stopped and returned to Dali Temple, and immediately found the drawings left by Master Huang. Finally, he found a distribution map of the main pillars of the hall among a pile of drawings. Master Huang had marked all four pillars.

Correspondingly, it was the pillars where he found something wrong today.

Sure enough, Mr. Huang discovered the problem and stopped the construction. Maybe Mr. Huang only thought that there was something wrong with the materials of these pillars and was considering whether to replace them. Before he could make up his mind, he was assassinated.

A lot of information kept flashing in Gu Zhouting's mind.

The problem with the Yongshou Palace occurred on the seventh day after the emperor was bewitched. At that time, someone from the Ministry of Industry should have gone to check and confirm that repairs were needed. The Ministry of Works would then start repairs. Therefore, the official responsible for the verification was very suspicious. He The termite erosion of Yongshou Hall must have been exaggerated.

Why Yongshou Palace?
Because Yongshou Hall is the place where the kings of the Qi Dynasty rest after their death.

Therefore, Concubine Sun will take action in five days.

She has the instrument to control Gu insects in her hand, which is equivalent to controlling the emperor's life.

When the emperor's dragon controls Bintian, Da Shu will launch an attack and cooperate with Sun Guifei inside and outside. Da Qi will be in danger!

Gu Zhouting only had a rough analysis before and felt that Shu had ulterior motives.

But now, he has gained insight into the plans of Dashu and Concubine Sun.

I'm afraid they have more than just this preparation.

In order for Concubine Sun to control the situation, she must also have military power. So it is not difficult to guess where this military power comes from.

Beidaying.

Qin Bochong refused to take over the post of Minister of War four years ago and went to Hexi Road instead in order not to attract attention.

His real goal is Beida Camp.

Therefore, not long after he came back, something happened to the Beida Camp under Ji Yunchen's charge, and Qin Bochong successfully took over the Beida Camp.

They had already started planning. Concubine Sun had returned to Da Qi for more than 20 years in order to subvert Da Qi.

"Gu Zhou stops."

A clear voice interrupted Gu Zhouting's thoughts.

"Wan Ning, you're here just in time. Come and see Mr. Huang's drawings."

Jiang Wanning leaned over and saw four big pillars marked.

"This is the cause of Master Huang's death."

"Well, five days is the deadline for repairing the Yongshou Palace. I suspect that five days will be the time for her to take action."

Jiang Wanning said: "Because Yongshou Hall is the place where spirits rest."

Gu Zhou stopped and nodded.

Jiang Wanning was silent for a long time. Although she had suspected Concubine Sun from the beginning, she rejected this suspicion in her heart, because in her impression, Concubine Sun was always gentle, kind and unconcerned.

However, all evidence points to her.

She is the real mastermind.

"Tell me, is it possible that she is not the real Concubine Sun?" Jiang Wanning said.

The Sun family is full of loyal people, but Sun Wanqing wants to cooperate with Da Shu to overthrow Da Qi. It is difficult for people to accept this reality.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "It's not impossible. When Yu Xiufang showed up with Sun Wanqing, everyone thought she was Sun Wanqing because they believed in Yu Xiufang. Yu Xiufang said she was, so everyone thought she was."

Jiang Wanning took out a medical book and gave it to Gu Zhouting.

Gu Zhou paused for a while and asked in confusion: "This is the medical book, whose is it?"

"This was left by Ye Shaolin, the official of the imperial hospital who was responsible for treating Concubine Rong, in the secret room of the desk in the old house."

Jiang Wanning resigned Ye Shaolin from the Imperial Hospital and took his family back to his hometown. However, he encountered a bandit family and died tragically on the way. Later, Vice President Lu explained in detail how he discovered the medical book.

"It can be seen from Ye Shaolin's records that Concubine Rong had been lingering on the bed for half a year before her death. The so-called tuberculosis was actually poisoning. Ye Shaolin knew it, but he did not dare to say it. Who would dare to do anything for an unpopular concubine? Concubine Rong went to make a statement? Maybe he didn't dare to write the true situation in the medical files he submitted to the imperial hospital, so he could only record it in his own medical book. Therefore, as soon as Concubine Rong died, he resigned, but he still did not escape being silenced. .”

Gu Zhouting looked solemn: "So, Xiao Wang has been in Concubine Sun's plan for a long time."

A concubine without heirs cannot make any waves, so she has to support a person, a person who can obey her orders, to ascend to the position of crown prince.

Therefore, she killed Concubine Rong, ruined Xiao Yan's appearance, and designed the emperor to record Xiao Wang in her name, so that Xiao Wang could naturally become the prince.

"Does Xiao Wang know that the person who killed his mother-in-law was Sun Guifei?" Gu Zhouting asked.

Jiang Wan Ning shook her head. She had thought about this question before.

It doesn't matter whether he knows or not. Even if Xiao Wang knows, he will pretend he doesn't know.

Because he is ambitious, as long as he can become the prince, he won't care.
