Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 102 Strike
Murong Wei was a little dumbfounded.

Is she afraid that she will not be buried?
She would not choose to commit suicide, no matter what, she would not choose to commit suicide to end her own life, that would be too violent.

Also the most irresponsible.

No matter what, life has to go on.

To put it bluntly, can a person be suffocated to death by urine?

Xiao Mingrui is the one she loves, if he really goes, she will fulfill his wish and will not let King Qi take the stage.

If that situation really happened, she wasn't sure if she would choose to feign death and leave the capital.

Murong Wei's thoughts were fluctuating, not to mention she really didn't think anything would happen to Xiao Mingrui.

He is her husband-in-law and the person she loves the most. He once promised her that he will live and live together in this life.

"Fool, don't think so much."

Lu'er nodded. If the princess said so, then nothing would happen.

Murong Wei thought of the chores in the palace, so she went to settle the accounts.

She doesn't want to be idle, maybe keeping herself busy can stop her from thinking wildly.

No matter what, life must go on.

Since the emperor returned to the capital, the capital has become more lively.

On the surface, it looks like a frozen lake in winter, which remains unchanged. In fact, there is an undercurrent under the ice, and the undercurrent is fierce.

All forces are competing in it.

At this moment, in the court hall, a memorial caused a storm.

Yan Bizhi, a well-known Confucian in the court, published a copy of "Shangwu Huang Li Taizi Shu", which caused chaos in the court.

Everyone knows that the current situation is that King Luo is missing, and King Qi, as the eldest son of the emperor and an adult prince, may be the most suitable candidate.

Yan Bizhi's memorial did not mention who should be the crown prince. I don't know how many ministers have participated in such memorials in the past. I just hope that His Majesty the emperor will appoint an orthodox prince as soon as possible, so as not to die one day without an heir. That would be troublesome.

Yan Bizhi, a great Confucian who maintains orthodox rules and legislation, is naturally a person in this way, and he has also given many memorials over the years.

It's just that the timing doesn't seem so good this time.

If the crown prince is established now, then is King Qi the most suitable, only King Qi is left?

A memorandum stirred up thousands of waves, and immediately made the entire court of the Great Qin Dynasty boil.

Some members of King Qi's party followed suit, and other ministers also wrote letters, and there were many people who waited and watched.

It's just that Emperor Jianwu was obviously in a very bad mood.

He very much suspected that King Qi instigated someone to do this matter. The life and death of his younger brother was still uncertain, but he was lucky enough to immediately instigate someone to write a letter, wanting him, this old man, to make him the crown prince?

King Qi was also very annoyed, he didn't know about the memorandum, so he waited and watched after the incident, and saw that the emperor's attitude was very bad, so he immediately ordered the officials who were recruited to be restrained to prevent them from participating in this matter.

He felt that his father was clearly suspicious of him now, so it was better to keep a low profile.

In the study room of King Qi's mansion, King Qi was fiddling with the strings of the piano, and even the piano skills he was always proud of couldn't make him feel at ease.

This cannot but be said to be because of the impression of the government this time.

At this time, the servant came to report, saying that Gao Shiqi asked to see him.

King Qi said in a muffled voice, "Mister, please come in."

Gao Shiqi stepped into the study room and listened carefully. The sound of the piano is "The Wind Enters the Pine", which is a famous song and has its own style, but he could hear the meaning of depression in it.

Gao Shiqi thought about what he wanted to report, but it didn't seem right now.

But this matter should be reported early, in case something happens after it is too late, it will be bad.

Gao Shiqi said: "Your Highness, Caomin has something important to say."

King Qi stopped playing the piano, his expression remained unchanged, "Sir, please tell me."

The people serving in the study had already left.

Gao Shiqi said in a low voice: "Caomin got the news that Imperial Physician Zhu suddenly woke up."

"What?" King Qi was taken aback, "How is it possible, that kind of medicine..."

Gao Shiqi also looked stern, "Yes, this incident is indeed surprising. Caomin has tested many people, and there is absolutely no possibility of anything going wrong. Could it be that he has returned to the light?"

King Qi was shocked for a moment, then returned to normal, snorted, "So what if he is awake? He has no way of knowing who shot him that day."

"It's strange to blame here. After Zhu's accident, the emperor removed the people who watched him from the Secretary of General Affairs. Gao also specially bought the people who are close to his family to avoid accidents. He has been in a coma these days , Caomin didn’t take the needle either. But unexpectedly, he sent the news today, and that’s when Imperial Doctor Zhu really woke up. It’s just that he asked his family members not to let it out, and only his wife and the servant knew about it. And Zhu The imperial physician still wanted to enter the palace, but his servant overheard him talking to his wife, and he said he knew who killed him, and that that person was one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period."

"Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period..."

King Qi immediately understood the meaning of these words.

One of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there is Qi State, but there is no such thing as Luo State.

King Qi's face changed, "So, he knows?"

Gao Shiqi nodded: "That old fox may have seen something."

King Qi cursed in a low voice, "Why didn't this damned thing die earlier, and came out to harm people again!"

King Qi couldn't sit still anymore.

He remembered that since the incident with King Luo, his father's attitude towards him was neither cold nor cold, obviously suspicious of him.

Now he hoped that King Luo would be fine, otherwise he would never want his father to abandon him, so there would be no great hope.

Originally, the royal father was dissatisfied with the prince's memorial recently. If the imperial doctor Zhu got involved at this moment and let the royal father know whether he was looking for a princess or a prince in the belly of the queen, it would be even more troublesome.

Gao Shiqi obviously thought of this too, so he said: "Your Highness, you should stop it and not be disturbed by it."

King Qi was silent for a moment, and his eyes were dark: "This matter must be done unconsciously. After all, no one knows about it now. That doctor Zhu is about to die. It is not surprising that he died suddenly."

"He died of illness." Gao Shiqi said.

In a few words, they sentenced to death.

When King Qi thought of this, he was even more disturbed, and it took him a long time to calm down.

No matter what, he had to go on.

Now it's hard to ride a tiger.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but if someone didn't want him to keep a low profile and trip him up, he would definitely not be stingy about eliminating them.

For example, people like Zhu Taiyi.

He will let anyone who wants to trip him up.

As for his good brother, what will happen depends on God's opinion.

Once King Qi has made his plans, Gao Shiqi will naturally make arrangements for him.

It is obviously not a problem to give Dr. Zhu a hand in his meal and euthanize him.

What's more, they also think that they don't know anything about it.

However, sometimes it really is not possible to take it for granted.

On the second day, Imperial Physician Zhu passed away.

Mrs. Zhu passed out. It is said that she was overwhelmed with grief and went into the Buddhist hall to pray for Buddha.

This incident did not even cause a little disturbance in the capital.

Because everyone knew that Imperial Physician Zhu had been ill for a long time and was unconscious all the time, so it is not surprising that he died suddenly now.

However, the one who sits in the Ninth Five-Year Palace of the Deep Palace doesn't think so.

He was very unhappy.

Emperor Jianwu became even more unhappy after reading the secret book.

Since he got the news the day before yesterday, he was surprised to know that Zhu Taiji had woken up, and he was planning to summon him into the palace to inquire about the situation.

He also specially sent someone to secretly protect.

Unexpectedly, the news of Zhu Taiyi's death came.

He could still infer who did it from the clues he got and the words of Imperial Doctor Zhu.

This made him very angry.

He didn't care whether Zhu Taiji died or not, what he cared about was which son's idea of ​​beating the child in the queen's womb.

"Xiao Mingjin." Emperor Jianwu said to himself coldly: "I think you really don't know what it means to be cautious in your words and deeds."

Emperor Jianwu was very dissatisfied.

Dissatisfied with him for framing his younger brother, dissatisfied that he has no king and no father.

Although he was his own son, he cared more about rights.

Now this son has set off the matter of setting up the prince again, and Emperor Jianwu feels that he can teach him a lesson.

People can't be too rampant.

The news from the General Administration is always faster than others.

In addition, he got the news from Jiangnan at this moment, knowing that his second son was found, suffered serious injuries, and is now recovering from his injuries, so he felt much better.

However, knowing that Jiangnan Hedao Yamen might be involved in the murder of King Luo, and among those officials was King Qi, Emperor Jianwu's suspicion reached its peak.

This made him wonder, after such a son who was disloyal to his father and unrighteous to his brothers came to power, would he treat those brothers well?
By then, how many of his sons will be left alive?
This is not what he wants to see.

So many things are like this, the accumulation of less makes more, and the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest.

A little bit of doubt can't do anything, but with more doubts, over time, too much energy will be accumulated.

One day it will destroy people's lives.

But even so, Emperor Jianwu would not completely attack King Qi.

Because he needs balance.

He will not let any son dominate.

On the second day, the emperor was furious in the court, and reprimanded the people in Shangshu for their ulterior motives.

In a word, it’s just that I’m not dead yet, and you’re so eager to make me an heir, are you treating me as a dead person?
No one can bear to say this.

Yan Bizhi, who was in Shangshu, was a very stubborn person, and even got on top with the emperor. In the end, he was sent back to his hometown and never used.

Several other Qi Wang's henchmen were also severely hit.

In addition, the people in the Hedao Yamen were also imprisoned, and they were escorted to Beijing for interrogation by the three divisions. It is obvious that the emperor is serious this time.

This is not over yet, when King Qi returned home, he was in a dazed mood, a little frightened, and finally received a verbal order from the emperor to reprimand him.

After listening to the oral order, King Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

This oral order severely reprimanded him for making friends with party members, being good at governing the government, and having moral problems, and asked him to reflect on himself at home.

When King Qi heard this, he was shocked, but he knew in his heart that his father might be suspicious of him.

He also regrets it, it seems that he really needs to be more low-key recently.

But it's not over yet.

At night, he got the news that King Luo had found him.

King Qi was stunned by this news for a long time, and after a while he said complicatedly: "Hmph, it's a good deal for him."

He thinks that's fine too.

If the second younger brother went, then the father would doubt him even more.

Now Luo Wang appears, good and bad.

The good thing is that all his good deeds were taken up by King Luo, while all the bad deeds were shared by him.

But he will not be discouraged, since he is going to participate in the seizure, he must make various preparations.

Whether it is a low tide or a high tide, you need to calm down.

In this regard, he is definitely patient.

He will continue to wait, just like a cobra waiting for its prey, sooner or later he will find the enemy's fatal point.

At that time, he will be able to kill the opponent directly.

If you think that momentary glory can represent anything, you are laughing.

He never believed in it, and he never took pride in it.

In this respect, he is a qualified heir.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. A great mission has been placed on people from heaven. They will surely suffer their minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, empty their bodies, confuse their actions, and gain what they can't do before using them. I think Your Highness must be a hero." Lord, you only need to be patient for a while, and you will surely be able to wait until the time to fight back, so why not worry about major events?"

Gao Shiqi, as King Qi's number one advisor, naturally would not look down on his master, no matter what, everyone's fate is tied together, he must let King Qi take power.

The other staff also kept persuading King Luo to endure the momentary anger and wait for a counterattack in the future.

King Qi smiled slightly, but at this moment he still maintained a graceful demeanor: "This king understands everyone's thoughts. Father just misunderstood me for a while, but he will definitely understand my innocence in the future. From today on, this king will devote himself to the palace. Submerged cultivation, ignoring the government, you should try your best to compete with this king."

Everyone agrees.

Luo Wangfu.

"Princess, good news, good news, the prince has news!"

The old eunuch Su De cheered loudly while holding a letter, attracting countless eyes along the way.

The maids and palace people beside the road were excitedly discussing: "Did the prince find it?"

"It must be, and the prince must still be alive. Otherwise, Eunuch Su would be so happy?"

said a little eunuch.

A little girl next to her asked: "Didn't you say that the prince fell into the Yangtze River? Wow, that's all right? I heard that there is a water dragon king living in the Yangtze River. I wonder if the prince was invited by the water dragon king this time." Woolen cloth."

"Don't talk nonsense, the prince is a dragon son, and he and the Water Dragon King are also in the same family. The Water Dragon King treats guests at the beginning, so why can't he see off the guests? The prince is a noble man in heaven, he is the most honorable, no wonder he is fine."

There was a lot of talk, but everyone was clearly happy.

As long as the prince is fine, their future is guaranteed.

They have all stayed in the palace for a long time, and no one wants to have any more accidents.

Obviously knowing that the prince is fine, the news immediately spread throughout the palace.

When Eunuch Su arrived at Tianxiangyuan, the little maid who announced the good news had already come to inform Murong Wei.

Murong Wei, who was doing the accounting, froze when she heard the words, and a drop of ink fell from the pen in her hand, staining the account book black.

The maidservants next to her were all excited, "Congratulations, my lord, my lord is really auspicious, my lord can feel at ease now."

Murong Wei put down her pen with an uncontrollable excitement on her face.

Although she also guessed that Xiao Mingrui might be fine before, it was just a guess, after all, she still had a lot of uneasiness in her heart.

But now it is indeed confirmed.

Her whole portrait was much more relaxed, and she felt that the stone that was pressing in her heart was suddenly removed.

Su De has already run over, although he is not young, he is really diligent in running, and his hands and feet are not small.

Seeing that everyone was beaming, Su De said with a smile on his face: "The old slave congratulated the princess. There is a news from Jiangnan that the prince has been found, and now he is treating his wounds in Yingtian."

After finishing speaking, he handed a letter to Murong Wei.

Murong Wei frowned and said, "Your Highness is injured?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, she was a little nervous, afraid that he was seriously injured, and also worried that if he hadn't been treated for so long, the wound would get worse.

Su De said with a bitter face: "That's not true. Our family was terrified when they heard it, but it is said that the prince's injury was not too serious, no matter how serious it was, it was not as serious as the one at Ziwei Mountain. The princess can rest assured, I believe that as long as the child is raised In a few days, it will be fine."

After hearing this, Murong Wei suppressed her worry, opened the letter, and saw that it was actually written by Xiao Mingrui.

The letter read:

My wife Weier sees the words as follows:

Ben Wang disappeared for several days, Jiao Weier was worried, Ben was rescued by Orion, but he did not wake up for several days because of a fever.He was later found by officers and soldiers, and now he is recuperating in Yingtian Mansion.Although there are injuries, they are not serious, and they will recover in a few days.

My wife has worked hard, and my husband is always thinking about it. May you take care of your health and see you again in the future.

After reading the letter, Murong Wei's eyes were red with tears.

Seeing that the princess's eyes were red, Su De quickly persuaded him: "Princess, don't cry. Think about it, the prince will be back soon. When the husband and wife are reunited, the prince will scold us when he sees that you have lost weight."

Murong Wei's voice was a little choked up, seeing that the letter said she had worked hard, although it was just some plain words, but Murong Wei knew that it was impossible for Xiao Mingrui to write sweet words at this time.

In the current situation, he can only speak briefly.

She smiled: "Look at me, this is really worthless. Well, today the palace will reward everyone, and everyone will be rewarded with a table of noodles, and an extra [-]% of the monthly rate will be counted as a blessing for the prince."

"Yes, slaves obey."

The crowd also cheered, obviously knowing that the prince was found, but only suffered a little injury, this is already the best result.

Lu'er also persuaded: "The princess needs to make up her body, look at how thin you have become these days."

Murong Wei looked at Su De, and said: "Grandpa Su, you stay here first, my concubine has something to ask you."

She kept Su De, and everyone thought she wanted to ask about Su De, so they didn't notice.

Su De immediately said: "I don't know what the princess wants to ask?"

Murong Wei thought of these days when she was worried, suffered from insomnia every night, was physically and mentally exhausted, and how much she had suffered, she was filled with emotion for a while.

Especially after receiving such news after being completely desperate, the impact on the whole person is really too great.

She needs some time to digest this, to give her time to sort out her emotions.

Thinking that Xiao Mingrui was fine, the happiness in her heart stayed for a moment, but soon, complete reason took over her body and mind.

Her dark pupils looked at Su De, and Su De was in a cold sweat.

"Su De, my concubine doesn't like being lied to, I hope you tell the truth."

Su De was surprised and said: "I don't know what the princess wants the servant to say, but the servant knows everything."

But he didn't talk endlessly.

Murong Wei knocked on the letter, and said coldly: "Let me ask you, did the prince find it long ago, and is it all right?"

Su De broke out in a cold sweat, he secretly screamed horribly, I really don't know where the princess saw it.

He thought he was an old fox, and he didn't see anything wrong.

But if that's the case, why would the princess ask such a question?

Are you still lying to yourself?

Su De thought about it, and felt that he still couldn't say it. Since the prince said it, he had better hold on.

"I don't know why the concubine said that? It was an accident that the prince fell into the water. No one thought of it. Maybe people in the south of the Yangtze River found the prince, but there was no news for a while, but our family really didn't know about it. "

Murong Wei narrowed her dark eyes slightly, and her fair and pretty face was a little frosty, otherwise she slapped the table: "How dare you argue! So, it is true?"

Su De lowered his eyes: "Maybe we won't know about this matter until the prince comes back."

As he said that, he looked at Murong Wei distressedly: "Princess, please spare our family, our family really doesn't know what's going on."

How could Murong Wei just let it go?

Ever since she got that letter, she had doubts in her heart.

She didn't believe what happened to Xiao Mingrui at first, and felt that it was impossible for him to disregard her own safety.

At one time, she suspected that it was the people from Jiangnan Hedao Yamen who did it.

But when she received the letter and saw people talking about the people and background of the Hedao Yamen, she obviously felt something was wrong.

Only relying on the clues written, she began to guess.

After seeing Xiao Mingchen, he felt that he was not as sad as he appeared, and was even preparing to deal with King Qi.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something happened to Xiao Mingrui.

It gave her the feeling that they all knew it, and only she didn't know it at all.

This was just her guess, but now that she got Xiao Mingrui's personal letter, she became even more suspicious.

Seeing Su De's attitude, she couldn't help being furious: "Let me ask you, the lord has already prepared it, right? Well, you are all so courageous to hide it from my concubine!"

Su De hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, begging for mercy with a crying face: "Princess, please don't wrong the servant, the servant is involuntary, in fact, the servant really doesn't know, it's just a guess."

Murong Wei was very angry in her heart, she felt that she was cheated.

She was still suppressed by his life-and-death issue before, so she didn't think about it for a while, or she didn't want to think about it.

But now there is no contradiction.

This question appeared more and more prominently in her heart.

As soon as she thought about it, Xiao Mingrui might have planned to perform this scene a long time ago. In order to make this event realistic, he concealed it from many people.

Sure enough, after his accident, all kinds of ghosts and snakes came out, and King Qi also showed his feet so that he found a chance to attack.

Now that King Qi is out of luck, he came out.

And he was only slightly hurt.

That's the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River when it was flooded, how could he fall into it unintentionally and still save his life?
If it was said that this incident was a complete accident, even Murong Wei would not believe it.

Unless, Xiao Mingrui directed and staged the accident himself.

All this was completely overturned, and it was indeed a wonderful battle.

She couldn't help admitting that he was very powerful, and just such a thing alone could completely achieve the goal of clearing up his grievances and then attacking King Qi.

But why, he couldn't tell her about it?
"This concubine has no ability to punish you." She said coldly, feeling that her heart was full of anger: "You go back and wait for your prince and master to punish you."

Su De stood up obediently, seeing Murong Wei's pretty face, he cried in his heart.

This was what he was most afraid of.

Well, at the beginning, he thought about whether to say it or not, but he didn't dare to say it because the prince ordered it.

Now I didn't expect to be seen through by the princess.

This is really a steal.

When the time comes, my lord, just ask for blessings.

Su De left in despair.

Murong Wei was full of anger, and she was happy at first, but at this moment, like a cumulonimbus cloud that was getting thicker and thicker in the sky, there was a tendency of black clouds to overwhelm the top.

"Xiao Mingrui, you are really good!"

She walked up and down the room angrily.

"Is Murong Wei so untrustworthy? Why can't you tell me in advance?"

She was mad at the jerk for worrying her for so long.

She here is making people haggard because of Yi Xiao, while he is in the south of the Yangtze River, he doesn't know how happy it is to sit behind the scenes these few days, turning his hands over clouds and rain.

Thinking of this, Murong Wei couldn't be happy.

"Xiao Mingrui, this concubine is not finished with you!"

The princess was angry, and the consequences were serious.
