Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 242 The Good Show Is About to Begin
Xie Wanqing may not know that Xie Zi'an's other identity is the mysterious master of today's sect, but Xuanyuan Jue knows this well. Based on Xuanyuan Jue's understanding of Xie Zi'an and the power behind him that cannot be underestimated, he I fully believe that it is impossible for Xie Chongguang alone to touch Xie Zi'an. If he wants to escape, there are many ways.

Seeing Xie Wanqing's worried face, Xuanyuan Jue couldn't bear to say: "You have to trust your brother, he has his own ability." Hearing Xuanyuan Jue say such unsalty words, he said a little annoyed: "I know that my lord and my brother are not on good terms, but my brother cares too much about me... Now that my brother is in danger, But I have no way of ascertaining his safety, how can I not be worried?"

Xie Wanqing's words choked Xuanyuan Jue, Xuanyuan Jue knew that she was bored, and didn't want to argue with her, said: "This king will send someone to investigate for you, and I will definitely not let your brother make any mistakes!"

Hearing Xuanyuan Jue's words, Xie Wanqing also realized that her attitude just now was not kind, so she closed her eyes and apologized, "My lord, I was too anxious just now, my lord...don't be angry with me!"

"I know, I know! How could I be angry with you?" Xuanyuan Jue reached out to stroke Xie Wanqing's hair.

Seeing that it is almost dawn, this long night will eventually pass, and a good show is about to begin.

According to Xuanyuan Jue and Xie Wanqing's plan, Lan Jin, the commander of the Bloody Guards, should personally report the matter of the Yellow River victims' riot to the emperor, but now Lan Jin is in the hands of the crown prince and Xie Chongguang.

Originally, the intention of the prince and Xie Chongguang was to try to detain Lan Jin, so as to delay for a while, and release Lan Jin after the Yellow River riots were suppressed, but Xie Chongguang's people still clashed with Lan Jin, and even As a result, he was injured, which completely complicated the matter.

With Lan Jin's injury, one can think of who blocked his way or even sent someone to hurt him. With the emperor's trust in Lan Jin, if he was allowed to see the emperor, he would definitely say something that would be very detrimental to the prince. Come on, after much deliberation, Xie Chongguang finally proposed to the prince that apart from Lan Jin being clean, it would just vacate the vacant title of the commander of the Bloody Guards, and then the prince would recommend a suitable person to take the position. In the hands of the prince.

Xie Chongguang's plan was perfect, and Xuanyuanming was quite touched. The idea of ​​killing Lan Jin was only something Xie Chongguang could say, but he had never dared to think about it. Inexplicably, Xuanyuanming thought Feeling some admiration for Xie Chongguang again, Xuanyuanming entrusted the matter to Xie Chongguang to handle, but he didn't know that it was a trap from their people approaching Lan Jin.

If it wasn't for Xuanyuan Jue's people who got greedy, how could Xie Chongguang's people easily hurt Lan Jin?
And Xuanyuan Jue's purpose was to make things worse, otherwise, Lan Jin might be bought by the prince and help the prince to deceive the Yellow River riot.

Since Xuanyuan Jue had the ability to injure Lan Jin, he naturally also had the ability to save Lan Jin's life, at least let him see the emperor in one breath.

"It's almost dawn!" Xie Wanqing said, "Is the arrangement on the prince's side still in place?"

Xuanyuan Jue murmured, "According to the time, it's time for them to act."

"Can Master Lan really escape smoothly?" Xie Wanqing asked again.

Xuanyuan Jue opened the door and looked at the sky outside. The sky was faintly pale and the sun was rising. This restless night would eventually pass, and what awaited them was complete tranquility or a new round of challenges.

Xie Wanqing walked gently behind Xuanyuan Jue, put her hands around Xuanyuan Jue from behind, and rested her head on his solid back, she stayed up all night, Xie Wanqing faintly felt sleepy, but it was more of a feeling deep in her heart. exhausted.

She shouldn't be such a calculating person, and her heart shouldn't be so cold and hard. After all, it was fate that forced her to become what she is now.

But she was very displeased with her appearance, she didn't want to...

She just wanted to be like this at this moment, leaning on a solid arm, in exchange for a peace of mind.

Xuanyuan Jue turned around, took Xie Wanqing into his arms, and murmured in his ear: "It's been a tossing all night, go to sleep, my king is with you!"

Xie Wanqing closed her eyes and leaned comfortably in Xuanyuan Jue's arms. She didn't know what it would be like after this sleep, she only knew that she was very satisfied to be hugged at this moment.

Not long after, the sky was bright, and in the prince's mansion, Xuanyuan Ming was pacing up and down in the study room. Last night, the emperor stayed at the Concubine De's place, and he also managed to inform the Concubine De's confidant, Zhihuan. Presumably, the Concubine De has a plan Hold on to the emperor, now it's up to Xie Chongguang to deal with Lan Jin on the spot.

Time passed by little by little, and the prince's heart became a little bit twisted. As usual, all civil and military officials had already waited in the Jinluan Hall. In the past at this time, the emperor was already in the hall, but today he has not seen the emperor for a long time. They whispered and guessed what happened today that made the emperor miss the early morning hour.

Concubine De's bedroom, Concubine De sat on the head of the bed with a serious face, looking at the emperor who was still sleeping soundly, Zhihuan waited at the side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, won't we be discovered if we do this?"

Concubine De smiled, "The Anshen incense is specially made by this palace, and I'm sure even the imperial doctor won't be able to spot it." After saying that, she glanced at Zhihuan: "Is everything cleaned up?"

"Go back to your mother, everything has been cleaned up, and the palace has been replaced with the usual incense, leaving no trace!" Zhi Huan pursed her lips, for the sake of the prince, her mother was really willing to let go.

Concubine De's face was calm, she carefully wiped the emperor's cheek with her handkerchief, and said: "The emperor has worked hard for state affairs for days, so he is inevitably exhausted, and he slept a little deeper..."

"Slaves understand!" Zhihuan nodded tacitly. It was not until noon that the emperor woke up faintly. When he opened his eyes, a ray of dazzling sunlight came in through the window paper and hit his face directly. The emperor stretched out his hand to cover his face. Hiding, seeing Concubine De sitting beside the couch, she asked, "What time is it?"

Concubine De was stunned, regained her composure, and said joyfully, "Your Majesty, you have woken up. Your Majesty has slept soundly, and it is already noon..."

The emperor knocked on his head, "What's going on? It's already noon?" He couldn't help wondering: "Why didn't you wake me up, didn't you miss the court this morning?" At the same time, the emperor was also recalling that he didn't feel any fatigue or discomfort last night. , I wake up very early on weekdays, why did I sleep for so long today?
Concubine De replied slightly aggrieved: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been trying to wake up the Emperor, but...the Emperor is really sleeping deeply, and...and..." In order to divert the Emperor's thoughts, Concubine De couldn't help coming up with a trick. Nonsense, said: "Besides, when the emperor was asleep, he was still chanting a person's name from time to time."

"what?"

Concubine De twitched a bit, and said: "The concubine didn't hear clearly, it seems like some kind of Ah Heng..."

Concubine De didn't know who this name belonged to, but she improvised this set of words because she overheard the emperor's call in the middle of the night, but seeing the sudden change in the emperor's face, Concubine De knew that this name was not easy able to mention.

Eunuch Quan, the Chief Internal Supervisor who had been waiting outside, was finally able to come in to help the emperor change his clothes and freshen up.

"Is there any change this morning?" the emperor asked.

Eunuch Quan replied while buttoning the collar of the emperor: "Return to Your Majesty, all adults are still waiting in the hall at this moment..."

"Huh? Why are you still waiting?"

"Yes..." Eunuch Quan had a hint of timidity in his eyes, "Without the emperor's permission, they naturally dare not leave without permission, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that His Royal Highness King Jing didn't go to the palace today. He said that he was assassinated last night and was seriously injured, so he couldn't get out of bed..."

After hearing this, the emperor didn't have any special reaction, he just asked lightly: "How can you be assassinated if you are so good?" The emperor and the prince are not the ones he sent, then they are the prince.

Assassinating King Jing at this time, the emperor couldn't help being suspicious, what exactly did the prince want to do?
Thinking of the prince, the emperor asked, "Where is the prince?"

"His Royal Highness is waiting in the hall with a group of adults at the moment. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is here so that there will be no trouble." Eunuch Quan praised the prince's virtues in front of the emperor. Son, at critical times, there are still some uses.

The emperor wanted to go to the main hall in person, so he walked out for a few steps, but suddenly he went to the upper study room, and told the whole family to be fair: "Since there is nothing important today, you can go and tell them to separate themselves!"

Eunuch Quan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going now, slave!"

It wasn't until Eunuch Quan brought the emperor's intentions and made all the officials disperse that the big stone in Xuanyuan Ming's heart fell to the ground. Thinking about it, it seems that this matter will be concealed smoothly, as long as Xie Chongguang solves Lan Jin , he took advantage of the opportunity to pour sewage on King Jing, and the Lin family successfully suppressed the Yellow River mob, then even if the emperor knew in the future that the riot had subsided, there would be no reason to blame him.

While the prince was excited about his plan, he didn't know that Xie Chongguang had already missed, and Lan Jin was also out of danger and was rushing to the palace.

When Xuanyuan Jue returned to King Jing's Mansion, he really pretended to be seriously injured and stayed out of bed. The turmoil outside was turbulent, but he rarely took a break, and Hei Yu quickly brought him the news: "Young Master Xie has been detained in Xie Mansion." , our people, I'm afraid it's not easy to intervene."

Xuanyuan Jue smiled indifferently: "You don't need to interfere, then Xie Zian will be fine!"

"My lord trusts him so much?"

"The hurdle between him and his father, he has to go through it by himself, how can others intervene?" Xuanyuan Jue said: "Just send someone to watch secretly, and there is no need to do anything else!"
