Chapter 643: Death (2)
"I heard that the emperor died of illness after drinking the ginseng tea sent by the concubine De, and now the concubine De has been confinement by the empress dowager, and it has not been announced how to judge her."

"Where is Rongguo's mansion? What's the current situation?" Since Empress Dowager Yang has no blood relationship with Rongguo's mansion, once Concubine De is arrested, Rongguo's mansion will definitely bring disaster to Xiao Qiang.

Although Mrs. Rong was not her biological grandmother, she still cared for herself, not to mention that Ziyue was her best friend, how could she just watch the innocent and lovely Ziyue being affected by this?
Jing Ming said: "At present, Rongguo Duke's Mansion is only tightly surrounded by the Royal Forest Army sent by Queen Mother Yang. Now most of the Imperial Forest Army is from Queen Mother Yang. I am afraid that the fate of Rongguo Duke's Mansion is completely in the Queen Mother's hands."

"Is there anything happening with Murong Yi now?"

"Not for the time being, but I heard from my master that the empress dowager pre-registered His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness as Prince Xiaoming, who will take over the seal of the emperor and take charge of the current situation."

Xia Qingge sneered: "Prince Xiaoming? Hehe, why don't you just proclaim yourself emperor now? The Empress Dowager made it clear that she wanted to manipulate Murong Yi as a puppet, so she didn't kill Concubine De but just locked her in the cold palace."

Jing Ming looked at Xia Qingge appreciatively, and said respectfully, "Miss thinks the same as the little prince, and now the queen mother is about to send Li Zhao to replace the master's position, and send him [-] miles to rush the master back to the capital."

What kind of medicine is sold in the Queen Mother's gourd?Xia Qingge is a little unpredictable, she wants to ascend the throne by herself but she doesn't have a good head, so she has to prepare for a transition period, and this transition can only be completed by Murong Yi, canonizing him as the crown prince with a title, In this way, everyone's mouths can be blocked. After all, His Royal Highness Murong Ce and the entire Ouyang family will not let the situation develop. Therefore, Murong Yi was first registered as the prince, which will not only temporarily satisfy the officials who support Murong Yi, but also make the officials who support Murong Yi feel satisfied. The opposition from the faction that supports Murong Ce will not be so fierce, but at this time, Empress Dowager Yang has logically held De Concubine hostage, and Murong Yi has no choice but to obey her mercy obediently, becoming the most obedient pawn of this ambitious woman.

As long as there is Concubine De, Murong Yi will definitely not be able to break free from the clutches of Empress Dowager Yang.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Qingge felt a little sympathetic to this man. After all, the memory of her previous life had been forgotten. Although she didn't have much communication with Murong Yi in this life, he was not a heinous villain.

"Jing Ming, do you know how long it will take for the little prince to negotiate before returning?"

Jing Ming shook his head, "It's been two hours since I went in and I haven't come out yet."

"En!" Xia Qingge responded and did not continue talking. Qiaolan, Jing Ming and the others also fell silent, waiting patiently.

About an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, Xia Qingge stood up immediately, the curtain was lifted at the same time, and Murong Yu walked in.

"Why did you get up so early? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine." Xia Qingge looked at Murong Yu, and was relieved when he saw that his expression was normal.

Seeing Murong Yu come in, Qiaolan, Wushuang and the others immediately bowed to Murong Yu and quietly left the camp.

There were only the two of them left in the camp. Murong Yu stepped forward and supported Xia Qingge to sit on the bamboo chair beside her, while he sat opposite her, "You heard what Jing Ming and the others said, right?"

She forced a smile and said: "Well, they have already informed me about the emperor's death. You discussed this matter early in the morning, and now you have come to a result?"

"The Empress Dowager ordered me to take Murong Ce back to Beijing as soon as possible, and now I have an idea in my mind."

"Murong Ce?" She almost forgot this point, remembering the topic that the emperor talked to her that night, in his heart, only Murong Ce was his most important son, last year when Chiyu disturbed the situation, he sent Xia Zifeng and Murong Ce led 20 troops to guard. In fact, the emperor just wanted Murong Ce to get out of the prison as soon as possible. Xia Zifeng was upright, upright, and the emperor's right-hand man. Letting him protect Murong Ce's comfort was naturally the best arrangement at the time.

Now that the emperor has passed away, and the queen mother is coercing the emperor to make the princes become the real ruler of the celestial dynasty, how can she allow Murong Ce to exist?

"What are your plans? The Red-Jewish border is only more than 300 miles away from Ezhou, and it can be reached in a day by taking Baixue."

Murong Yu raised his eyes to look at her, with a faint smile on his face in an instant, "You naturally guessed that I wouldn't go, so you said that!"

Xia Qingge chuckled, "Since you don't plan to go, you naturally plan to help Murong Ce. If so, you want to make an enemy of the Queen Mother?" Depending on Murong Yu's strength at this time, no matter life or death, he would not dare to make a move without him. Only he didn't want to kill people.

Murong Yu remained silent, raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for each of them. Under the sunlight, the thick eyelashes looked thick and thick, and from her angle, she could only see the silent darkness under the eyelashes.

"Although Murong Ce doesn't have the appearance of an emperor, he is also a rare military commander. He has a weak temper and never wanted to get involved in disputes over the succession. If it weren't for the elders of the Ouyang family who have been forming cliques behind his back, I'm afraid Murong Ce would be more willing. Leaving the capital, guarding the wild land of the frontier."

"The imperial concubine Tong Jia is not a young lady of the Ouyang family. Why does the Ouyang family still try their best to help?" She learned from the emperor that Murong Ce's birth mother was just a low-class girl who washed clothes. After entering the palace, I just discussed with the old prince Ouyang to include her ancestral home in the Ouyang ancestral hall.

But what she has never been able to figure out is that the Ouyang family has operated a family business for hundreds of years, and has never been involved in court disputes in any dynasty. Their clansmen have always been mysterious and unpredictable. Ouyang Wenjin and Murong Yu are the same age, civil and military Shuangquan has never seen him step into an official career, so it can be seen that the Ouyang family has not changed the original family rules, except for the eldest son of the hereditary throne, all other clansmen are not allowed to be official in this lifetime.

"King Ouyang is a low-key person, but he is not low-key in his work. Although the Ouyang family is still prosperous on the surface, it is just a vain name. It is because the old ancestors stipulated that except for the hereditary throne, other people are not allowed to enter the official career. The Ouyang family gradually faded out of the political arena due to the regulations of the Ouyang family. Back then, the Ouyang ancestors only made it to prevent the tribe from usurping power, but they did not expect that the inheritance has become the executioner of the Ouyang family. Because of this, although the Ouyang family has strong financial resources, But it is not as high in power and status as the other royal families with foreign surnames, King Ouyang can be regarded as a generation of heroes who have fought on horseback for half his life, how can he see his family gradually decline."

Xia Qingge followed his words and said: "So, now King Ouyang can only reshuffle the cards if he elects Murong Ce to the throne."

"That's right, Murong Ce is well aware of this, so he rejected the Ouyang family very much when he was very young, but he still trusts Ouyang Wenjin."
