Chapter 861

Duanmuke looked at Li Qi, waiting for Li Qi's answer.

Li Qi was silent at first, but after a while, he smiled and said: "Forcing the palace."

After the words fell, Duanmuke's face froze, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he said in a nasty voice, "Forcing the palace?"

Seeing Duanmuke's astonished expression, Li Qi still smiled calmly and said, "That's right, it's forcing the palace, Prince, this is your only chance to stand up."

Duanmuke said these two times, his eyes were still full of astonishment, and he said unnaturally: "But, this is a treasonous thing."

Hearing this, Li Qi shook his head and said: "Prince, you are wrong. The old man said that the winner and loser, the so-called treason and immorality are only placed on the loser. If the prince succeeds, he will sit on the throne." , who dares to say that you are not right."

Duanmuke was silent, rolling his eyes, thinking about Li Qi's words. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Sir, what you said is true."

Li Qi said persuasively and persuasively: "Not only that, the prince is not born without a name."

Duanmuke looked at Li Qi, didn't speak, but asked with his eyes.

Li Qi cleared his throat and said: "The empress is now ruling the palace, that is to say, the prince is now ruling the party. If the prince is accused of treason, and the prince's appointment is only for the side of the Qing emperor, then who would say that the prince Not one word."

Duanmuke's mouth grew slightly, looked at Li Qi, and said in surprise, "Mr., do you want me to forge evidence?"

Li Qi smiled and said nothing, but his expression already confirmed Duanmuke's words.

Duanmuke was still hesitant, and said: "The crown prince is the heir apparent, but if you want to fake him to seek rebellion, will it be difficult to convince people?"

But Li Qi didn't think so, he shook his head and said: "What about the crown prince, as long as the emperor is not dead, if the prince has the heart to sit on the throne, then he has the intention of treason, the prince don't have to worry, as the so-called historian The pen is in the hands of the person who sits on the throne, as long as the prince succeeds, what will others say?"

Duanmuke had already been persuaded by Li Qi, his face showed eagerness to try, looked at Li Qi, nodded and said: "Sir, you are right, I have been taught."

Li Qi looked at him with a smile, and asked: "Then the prince, has it already been decided?"

Duanmuke nodded affirmatively, and said to Li Qi: "Just do as you say."

Li Qi finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, looking at Duanmuke, his eyes revealed a bit of calculation.

It's just that Duanmuke didn't get excited for a long time, and soon he became sullen again, and said to Li Qi: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I don't have too many people in my hand. If I want to force the palace, it's not the queen and the others." opponent."

Hearing this, Li Qi laughed again, and said: "If that's the case, then the prince will worry too much. The prince once told the old man that he hoped that the old man would recruit soldiers and horses for the prince. During this period of time, the old man has not been idle. The prince has done this."

After hearing this, Duanmuke's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Li Qidao: "Is what you said is true?"

Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Prince, you don't have to worry. This group of people will be handed over to the prince. The prince can just do it with peace of mind."

A grateful smile appeared on Duanmuke's face, he cupped his hands to Li Qi and said, "So, I really want to thank you sir, without him, I'm afraid nothing will be accomplished."

Li Qi just waved his hands, said with a faint smile: "It is my honor to assist the prince, the prince must not say such a thing."

After Duanmuke left, Li Qi was still sitting there, and Yin Xiang came out from behind the screen and walked up to Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at him and said in a good mood: "What are you doing standing, sit down."

Yin Xiang said yes, sat down, and looked at Li Qi.

There was silence in the room for a while, then Yin Xiang suddenly said, "My lord, if Duanmu Ke really wants to force the palace, do we need someone? Is my lord going to transfer our troops to him?"

Li Qi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Yin Xiang said this, and said with some hesitation: "We can recruit troops for him again, why waste our own troops?"

Li Qi shook his head and said disapprovingly: "If you want to recruit troops again, it would be a waste of time and money, and second, using your own people is better than using other people's people, and it's just a temporary loan."

After hearing this, Yin Xiang also felt that it made sense, and said, "That's right, Duanmuke is just a puppet to put it bluntly, and there is no need to keep it after it is done."

Li Qi smiled slightly, looked at Yin Xiang and said: "Duanmuke is a rabbit in a hurry now, waiting to bite someone, we just watch from behind, and when he bites everyone, there is still time for us to strike again .”

Yin Xiang still nodded, and did not refute Li Qi's words, but asked: "Then when does my lord plan to let Duanmuke do it?"

Li Qi was silent for a while, and said: "It's better sooner than later, let's do it tomorrow night."

At the end of the month, the moon became less round, hanging in the sky like a hook.

The palace was quiet and peaceful, except for the palace lanterns and the occasional clatter, there was no other sound at all.

In the darkness, several figures quietly crawled under the city wall and approached the palace gate.

It was very late, and the queen was still asleep. She knelt in front of the Buddha statue, reciting Buddhist scriptures softly.

Aunt Lan stood aside and waited, seeing that it was getting late, she stepped forward with small steps and said softly: "Madam, it's getting late, let's go to rest."

The queen recited silently for a while, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at the Buddha statue in front of her, clasped her hands together, and recited Amitabha.

She stretched out her hand, and Aunt Lan quickly helped her up.

The queen did not leave immediately, but stared at the Buddha statue in front of her, and said quietly: "Gu Lan, I don't know why I always feel a little uneasy."

Aunt Lan looked at the queen. The queen's face was a little dark, and she didn't know what she was worried about. These days, she was always inexplicably restless, unable to eat or sleep well.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's because I haven't had a good rest that I feel restless. Why don't my servants make you a cup of soothing tea, drink it and have a good rest," Aunt Lan said softly.

The queen was silent for a while, but she shook her head and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm afraid it's like you said, I haven't had a good rest these days."

She rubbed the center of her eyebrows wearily, and said to Aunt Lan: "Serve me to wash and change clothes."

Aunt Lan said yes, and was about to walk towards the door while supporting the queen.

With a puff, only a sound was heard, and a black figure rushed in from outside the door, passing straight through Aunt Lan's face.

The queen was startled, and turned to look at Aunt Lan, only to find that an arrow had been stuck in her face, blood was seeping from her face, and Aunt Lan's eyes were still open.
