I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 340 Extra Story (Murong Li)

My name is Murong Li, and I am the second prince of the current emperor. My mother, Concubine Xu Gui, has been favored by the emperor for many years and has won the trust of the emperor. No worse than Murong Jing who is the son of the eldest son.

It's not bad, but it's just seems like, because Murong Jing was named the prince early, and I only got the title of King of Mausoleum after I finished the weak crown ceremony at the age of 20. Looking at Murong Jing, it is a world of difference.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, I, the second prince, is proud of myself, and I want to get wind and rain. Every time I hear such words, I will silently smile bitterly in my heart, but I will not show the slightest bit on the surface. It's not that I don't want to tell the truth , but dare not, because once I show my timidity, those ministers who have been recruited with great difficulty to follow behind me will be uncertain and sway from side to side.

Everything is just for profit.So what I have to do is to convince everyone that I have enough strength to compete with Murong Jing.

In fact, apart from the disparity in status, I am indeed no worse than Murong Jing. His grandfather was an important minister of the court, and my grandfather was also a famous doctor. Over the years, with his superb medical skills, he has accumulated a lot in the court. With few contacts, his father is greedy for pleasure and wants to prolong his life, so he trusts and relies on his grandfather very much. There is also Qu Liancheng, the general of the town. My son, with Qu Liancheng's support, my strength in the military department is not only no worse than Murong Jing's, but I even have a slight advantage over him.

But Qu Liancheng has never been a loyal person, but a pure speculator.

Although because of my aunt, he is always closer to me than to Murong Jing, and in the eyes of others, he will naturally think that he is loyal to me, but only I know that the reason why he did this is because he understands Besides, the means of my grandfather and mother are enough to stir up the wind and rain in the capital, and let me gradually overwhelm Murong Jing. If not, he will definitely turn around and join the prince without the slightest hesitation.

Or, he can make two-handed preparations, so that he can choose at will in the future.Therefore, when the queen proposed to marry his prostitute Qu Lingxu as the crown princess, he did not show any objection, on the contrary, he very much agreed.

It's just that he never expected that Qu Lingxu would be unwilling.

Speaking of Qu Lingxu, until now, I still feel that this woman is a mystery. Because of my aunt, I have been to the General Zhenguo's Mansion several times since I was a child. In my impression, the so-called daughter-in-law of the General Mansion She's just a timid woman who can't stand on the stage, not to mention compared with the radiant Feng Yan, even the daughter of an ordinary small official family is much better than her, so I don't even bother to go care about her.

Not only me, my mother, my aunt, and even Qu Liancheng, who has always boasted of being smart, didn't pay any attention to it, only thinking that a little action could kill her.

Misfortunes often arise from unsuspecting places. The words of the ancients are indeed true.

It was such an unremarkable person who suddenly appeared in an unexpected manner at the most critical moment, like a thunderbolt on the ground.

No one knew where she learned her good medical skills, and of course, no one would care about this, because everyone, including the emperor, was overjoyed that the plague in the capital had been successfully brought under control.

In this way, Qu Lingxu, who was ignored, tortured, and neglected, climbed to the sky in one step and became the princess personally appointed by the emperor. She was also highly respected because of the empress dowager's contribution to treating eye diseases. That's pretty much the way to go.

As much as I loathe this sudden change, the queen mother and son are so happy. Although Qu Lingxu declined the position of crown princess, the queen is still very polite and friendly to her.

No one is stupid, and they all understand that Qu Lingxu has an endless feud with her aunt and Feng Yan. If she can use her to bring down my aunt and weaken my power, why not do it?
In fact, there is no need for the queen to fan the flames. Even if she does nothing, her aunt will never allow Qu Lingxu to become bigger. She has been in charge of the general's mansion for so many years, and she has long regarded herself as the mistress. Based on this, she couldn't swallow this breath.

Swallow even if you can't swallow it, and don't act rashly.

During that time, the mother repeated the most is this sentence.Now that Qu Lingxu is the honor of the princess, ordinary trivial matters can't help her at all, so she must be hit with one blow, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

My aunt has always looked forward to her mother's lead, so naturally she dared not refuse, but she couldn't help but make a move after all.

The result was completely expected, she was defeated by General Qu Lingxu, and her leg was broken after being hit by [-] boards. From then on, not only her rights, but also her favor were also ruined.

No man would like a woman with a disabled body, and Qu Liancheng was no exception.

Moreover, through this incident, he clearly saw that we were in decline, and we were no longer as warm to me as before. Moreover, there was news that he had secretly contacted the prince's confidants several times, and everyone There is the intention of persuading Qu Lingxu to become the princess.

When people are too complacent, they will always be relatively blind. On the contrary, when they are at a disadvantage, they can see many things more clearly. The prince Murong Jing seems to be shrewd, but he doesn't have much real talent. The family is making plans behind the scenes, and I'm afraid they don't know where they are buried. Therefore, my biggest opponent has never been the prince, but Leng Yuanxun, the son of Marquis of Huaiyang.

Leng Yuanxun is by no means simple.

His relationship with Qu Lingxu is also not simple.Although they never showed any intimacy in public.

And this is the best opportunity for me.

If I want to get rid of Leng Yuanxun, get rid of Qu Lingxu, and hit Murong Jing hard by the way, if I want to kill three birds with one stone, I have to do a big thing, one that shakes the government and the public, and I have to send important people to quell it. big deal.

The Jiangling River must burst its embankment.

As for the lives of those innocent people?

I have also felt guilty and blamed myself, but that kind of guilt and self-blame was only for a moment, and I soon let go of it. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a dynasty change that was not piled up with countless bones. As long as I sit on that The supreme throne, who dares to mention a few words, who dares to accuse me of being wrong?
What's more, I did it so secretly that no one would know.

A few days later in the early court, Leng Yuanxun took the initiative to ask for an order to go to Jiangling, which did not surprise me.Everyone has weaknesses. Leng Yuanxun's weakness is that he cares too much about the sufferings of the people, and the lives of countless people are at stake. He doesn't feel at ease if others go.

Regarding the matter of Leng Yuanxun, Qu Lingxu would never feel relieved if he did not go there in person.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I naturally prepared and planned it carefully, but unfortunately I underestimated Leng Yuanxun's strength, there are so many masters around him, even if I send so many people, I can't hurt him a single bit, there is no way, I They could only send someone to spread the false news of Leng Yuanxun's injury to the capital, and lead Qu Lingxu to Jiangling.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Jiangling, so no matter what happens along the way, it is only natural. Unless Qu Lingxu has the ability to go to heaven and earth, he will never come back alive.

You must not live, especially in your ears.

But Qu Lingxu once again made an astonishing choice. She took a road that ordinary people would never dare to try, and went straight to the Dugu Sect in Xiling Mountain all the way.

Mysterious Jianghu gangs like the Dugu Sect have lasted much longer than the imperial court, and it is good to live in peace with each other on weekdays. Neither the imperial court nor other Jianghu gangs will provoke them at will, and I have never thought about it. To use such a mysterious power for his own use, but as soon as he said this idea, he was flatly rejected by his grandfather.

There is an insoluble grudge between him and the Dugu faction, and he must die.

Although the people I sent failed to kill Qu Lingxu, I wasn't worried. The members of the Dugu Sect were by no means easy people. Even if Qu Lingxu had the courage of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, he might not be able to come out alive.

As it turns out, I was wrong again.

Not only did she return to the capital unscathed, but she was also favored by the young master of the Dugu faction, Mo Ruyu, the help I had been asking for for many years, and thus cheapened Leng Yuanxun out of thin air.

I panicked, completely panicked, the throne, which was already close at hand, was getting farther and farther away from me at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Qu Lingxu, who learned of the news of Chen's death, launched her revenge swiftly, without leaving any chance for my aunt to breathe. Above the court, Murong Jing's faction followed me even more. The steps were pressed, and soon, those people who were vacillating between Murong Jing and me all defected to Murong Jing.

anxious.

When I dreamed back in the middle of the night, I was awakened by nightmares one after another. The road of seizing the throne is so dangerous. From the moment I set foot on this road, there are only two endings waiting for me: success or death.

No, I cannot die.

Father did not suspect that the Jiangling dam burst was related to me, and I did not leave any evidence behind, otherwise Leng Yuanxun would not be able to stand still until today. In the palace, the mother and concubine are still favored by the father. The medicine that has been developed for many years will also be successfully developed. At that time, the life and death of countless people will still be in my hands!
Yes, I can't give up, absolutely not!

Soon, a good opportunity to make contributions came to me. Qu Liancheng, who was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to exterminate the Red Lotus Sect, not only failed to complete his mission, but his entire army was wiped out. It is admitted that the military generals in the DPRK and China are withered, and there is no suitable person to lead the army.

What's more, what they have to face is the Red Lotus Sect with high morale.

Regarding my idea of ​​leading the army, my mother strongly opposed it. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If something goes wrong, there is no room for maneuver. However, given the current situation, even if I stay in the capital, how can I maneuver? room for?
The success of many things depends on whether you can take a gamble with your determination, and I have no choice.

In this way, I left the capital with an army of 20, but I never thought that such earth-shaking changes would take place in the capital in just a few months, and Murong Jing rebelled.

It sounds absurd that a dignified prince needs to rely on rebellion to push the palace to the throne, but it is a living fact.

Hearing this news, I laughed heartily. The rivals who have been fighting for so many years ended up in such an unexpected ending, which is really unexpected by everyone, and it also means that I will lead to the throne The road to success will be smooth sailing, and no one can stop it.

For the first time in so many years, I felt that the dawn of victory was so close to me.

However, the reality once again played a huge joke on me. Before the dots of dawn could bloom in the future, they were completely killed in the bud.

Leng Yuanxun forced the palace and ascended the throne as the emperor as the son of the former prince.

My hunch was right, he was my worst enemy, and my ultimate enemy.

I will not accept this fact, and I will never recognize his identity as the new emperor. All I can do is fight to the death!
I will not fail, and I cannot afford to fail.

It's a pity that the word "failure" always goes hand in hand.

In the next life, Leng Yuanxun, I will definitely win you in the next life...
