Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 86 Calculation
The night in Lin'an City is peaceful and peaceful.

It is not a special day like Shangyuan Festival, so the curfew is coming as scheduled.

The General Military Mansion was also quiet, but for He Lianyao who lived in the guest courtyard, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Ah Song hasn't come back until now, could it be that some accident happened?
Helian Yao walked back and forth in his bedroom, the worry on his face became more and more serious.

He didn't even dare to go outside the courtyard to have a look, because he was afraid that other people in the General Military Mansion would see the clues.

Perhaps it was his delusion, He Lianyao always felt that since returning from Weijing today, the defense of the General Military Mansion has become stricter than before.

And now, Asong has also disappeared.

A trace of worry flashed in He Lianyao's heart. Since there is nothing to gain here, it seems that this General Military Mansion can no longer live.

Besides, his meeting with Mu Jing, the owner of Jingyuan Villa this afternoon was very successful. I believe that if he is willing to be a guest of Jingyuan Villa, Mu Jing will definitely welcome him very much.

If Mu Wu was present at this moment, he would definitely laugh so hard, because the person who fooled He Lianyao was Mu Jiu who pretended to be Murong Hao and went to see He Lianyao under the pseudonym Mu Jing.

It has to be said that Mu Jiu's imitation skills and eloquence skills are really first-class, but just one meeting made He Lianyao believe that the richest man in Lin'an City is really convinced by him.

After hearing Mu Jiu's report, Murong Hao relaxed his frown for a moment.

Although He Lianyao said that he had a deep scheming mind, he was too smooth in the capital, and the endless praise made him even more arrogant, which would also become his most fatal weakness.

"Mu Yi, what happened to those people in the dark prison?" Murong Hao asked.

Mu Yi bowed and replied: "Except for the leader, everyone else has been recruited."

Mu Yi didn't expect those hidden guards to recruit so quickly. I have to say that Miss Xi's interrogation moves are too powerful and insidious.

Even those dark guards who have gone through a lot of tempering can hardly survive half an hour under these methods.

It's just that he didn't know how Miss Xi, a delicate girl, came up with these tortures.

If Jun Xi knew what Mu Yi was thinking at the moment, she would definitely smile embarrassingly.

She didn't know how to explain it, after all, she read these methods from idle books when she was Zhen Xi.

People in the 21st century don't know about the top ten torture methods in the Qing Dynasty.

A thousand doubts flashed in his heart, Mu Yi still respectfully reported the results of the interrogation.

"According to those hidden guards, the purpose of their trip is not only to prepare a dowry for the princess, but more importantly, to contact the remnants of the Southern Dynasties in Jiangnan and disrupt the situation in Jiangnan."

"It's that simple?" Mu Wu was a little puzzled. Didn't He Liankang and He Lianyao want to rebel? What's the use of just disturbing the situation in Jiangnan, besides, there is such a great god as Chu Weijing in Jiangnan.

When it comes to deploying troops, I'm afraid no one is his opponent.

"Not only that, according to what they said, apart from the hidden Southern Dynasty forces, there are also people who are now loyal to the Murong Dynasty, such as the Chu family in Lin'an..." Mu Yi's voice became weaker and weaker.

There was a silence in the room, even Mu Wu, who was the most chattering, was silenced.

The Chu family, are you trying to commit suicide?
Although the Patriarch of the Chu Family was the respected teacher of the Southern Dynasty Emperor, but when the Southern Dynasty fell and the last emperor committed suicide, it was the Patriarch of the Chu Family who led the ministers of the Southern Dynasty to surrender to the Murong Dynasty.

In return, the late emperor not only did not dispose of the members of the Chu family, but retained their status at the same level as in the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, although the Chu family fell silent, it did not completely disappear into the trend of history with the Southern Dynasty like other families.

What's more, the current head of the Chu family, Chu Yuanliang, is still a student of politics in Lin'an, an important official of the court, and the second son of the Chu family is also an official of the court.

They got involved with He Lianyao, isn't that courting death?
"Maybe the Chu family wants to curry favor with Prime Minister Helian's Mansion or His Royal Highness?" Mu Wu explained dryly.

It won't work if you don't explain it, because rebellion will punish the nine clans.

Even if Chu Weijing left the Chu family and established himself as a branch, if he was really involved in the serious crime of treason, then he would definitely not be able to get away with it.

Not to mention that he is still the general soldier of Lin'an who is in charge of the military power in the south of the Yangtze River. If this matter is known to the emperor far away in Yanjing, then the general military mansion will be really dangerous.

After all, the emperor didn't want the sword in his hand to point at him one day.

"Master, what should we do now? Do we want to inform General Chu about this?" Mu Yi asked worriedly: "Yang Zhang and He Lianyao have met several times. Yao went to see Chu Yuanliang, and they chatted happily."

Murong Hao's face was expressionless, his fingers were slightly bent, and his knuckles tapped the desk lightly one after another, making a crisp sound.

Suddenly, he stood up suddenly and said: "I underestimated their father and son. Although the Chu family has a deep foundation, it didn't have much effect on He Lianyao's rebellion at the beginning. If He Lianyao has succeeded at this moment, it depends on I still believe that the Chu family wins Jiangnan's hearts, so He Lianyao's move is not to win the Chu family, but to destroy Chu Zongbing."

"But how do they know that the emperor will know about this?" Mu Yi asked suspiciously, is Helian Yao going to tell the emperor that I want to rebel, and I want to win over your general?
Mu Yi was deeply embarrassed by his own thoughts.

"No, Helian Yao won't say it, but someone will definitely say it." Murong Hao shook his head.

Mu Yi suddenly remembered, and questioned: "The master is talking about Qin Yi?"

"Qin Yi's loyalty to his father is unmatched by anyone. Similarly, he will not protect anyone except his father. Since he is in the south of the Yangtze River, he can't hide his every move, and he can't hide it from the emperor. And he will never hide anything from the emperor just because he has some friendship with his uncle." Murong Hao said with certainty.

At this moment, various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

The emperor pointed Helian Duanrou to the prince, in fact, he wanted to break the relationship between the Helian family and the third prince, because the third prince was born of the noble concubine Helian, and had half of the blood of the Helian family.

This is the father defending the prince, which proves that he must have noticed that the Helian family may have other intentions, which will be detrimental to the prince.

If the prince marries Helian Duanrou, it is equivalent to marrying half of the civil servants in the court; the queen's mother's family is the Shen family, so the prince has the support of the other half of the civil servants.

In this way, the position of the prince will be as stable as a rock.

But if He Lianyao hooked up with the Chu family, and then got involved with Chu Weijing, then the royal father would definitely suspect that the prince had other plans.

After all, no matter how much he defends the crown prince, his father will definitely not want to see the crown prince's power surpassing the imperial power, and the dragon chair under him can be transferred to someone else in an instant, even if that person is the crown prince, his own son Will not work.

Therefore, even if he trusted Chu Weijing again, if Qin Yi reported these things to him and let him find some signs, he would definitely send another person to take over the military power in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is He Liankang's scheme, watertight and extremely vicious.
