Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 97 Conspiracy
Xie Yanniang sighed, and couldn't help asking: "The host is not here, what should I do for tomorrow's ceremony?"

"Miss also thinks that without the old presiding officer, the ceremony cannot be held as scheduled?" Ruan Jingxin turned around and asked, the word "also" obviously some people think so.Needless to say, that person was Long Zhiyu.

Naturally, she would not think the same way as Long Zhiyu, but this matter is indeed difficult.The selection of another monk in Lingfa Temple is far inferior to the presiding status, and the standard of the ceremony will be dragged down.

This is a sacrificial ceremony for soldiers who died in battle. If it is not done well, it will easily arouse public anger.

Most of the soldiers were civilian children, not to mention their deaths in battle, even the final ritual of repressing their souls was so-so and perfunctory, how could they not be angry?
If one is bad, the regent's prestige among the people will be greatly reduced.

Xie Yanniang suddenly smelled the smell of conspiracy, maybe that fake lady Liu sneaked in, not really wanting Ruan Jingxin's life, but creating chaos and preventing the ceremony from proceeding smoothly.

The ultimate goal is to destroy the indestructible image of the King Regent among the common people, and drag Ruan Jingxin down from the altar!

It seems that the first emperor died less than two years ago, and he has become a thorn in the side of many people, so he wants to use this to get rid of this stumbling block!
Xie Yanniang narrowed her eyes. In the end, it was the young emperor and the people around him who benefited, or... the fifteenth prince?
Long Zhiyu's ambition must be unknown to everyone.

But Xie Yanniang has been by his side for several years, and she is extremely favored by Long Zhiyu, so she can more or less know a little between the beds.

The Fifteenth Prince looked chic and at ease, and never touched anything in court.

He and the late emperor were brothers and sisters, and never crossed the threshold.

So the first emperor was very kind to this younger brother, he was never stingy with money, and he let Long Zhiyu mess around.

What kind of woman do you want, let the fifteen princes choose, never ask too much.

Even if he got into trouble, Emperor Xian was willing to settle Long Zhiyu's case.

A prince who is addicted to womanizing, does not love the country but loves beauties, what could be more reassuring than a younger brother like this?

The royal family has never had father and son, let alone brothers.Of the late emperor's many brothers, only Long Zhiyu lived happily.

Firstly, Long Zhiyu was the youngest, he could be regarded as being raised by the late emperor, and his affection was deeper than others.

He is also extremely quiet, a little clever, but he never does anything that would make the late emperor suspicious, he is just an idle rich prince.

This was because the late emperor was still there, and when the late emperor died, a child less than ten years old would sit on the throne, so Long Zhiyu's thoughts changed.

It happened that it was not the young emperor who held the power of the imperial court, but a man with a foreign surname, which made him feel even more unhappy.

Ruan Jingxin's background is not very good, but she is clever and her timing is perfect, so she became the late emperor's right-hand man and now holds great power.

It has to be said that this is his luck.

But Long Zhiyu was not convinced, especially because the late emperor loved his younger brother on the surface, but in fact he was always on guard.

Originally thought that the first emperor was seriously ill and left a decree, even if he did not pass the throne to Long Zhiyu, at least let him assist the young emperor to ascend the throne.

It's a pity that the first emperor was still guarding against him from the beginning to the end, and instead handed over the power to a boy with a foreign surname. How could Long Zhiyu bear it?
So Xie Yanniang couldn't help thinking that maybe Long Zhiyu was involved in this matter.

When she regained her senses, she realized that Ruan Jingxin had been waiting for her answer, and quickly replied, "Minnv doesn't think she has to host, but other people don't necessarily think so."

No matter who Ruan Jingxin chooses to replace the host, the people headed by Long Zhiyu will oppose it to the end.
