The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 159

Just after noon the next day, Ran Hai came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning with an excuse to discuss with the empress dowager. After hearing the news that Ye Junyan was insane and Gu Xinning was running to seek medicine, the empress dowager also showed great joy and smiled at Ran Hai said: "It seems that the previous plans still have a chance to be realized."

While stroking his long beard, Ran Hai was able to say: "The old man said long ago that there is no limit to the road, until the last moment, no one knows what the result will be."

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, expressing her agreement with Ran Hai's words, but after a while, the Empress Dowager frowned again and said, "But what if Gu Xinning got the antidote?"

Ran Hai smiled nonchalantly and said: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, I have sent people to the Valley of the Night to ambush, no matter what, I must let Gu Xinning get in and not get out!"

The Empress Dowager still said worriedly: "But, Gu Xinning is highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in using poison. I'm afraid."

Ran Hai stroked his long beard, then paused and said, "It is said that Nightless Valley is a place of near death, not to mention that Gu Xinning may not be able to get the antidote smoothly, even if she is lucky enough to come out, she must be seriously injured , I sent hundreds of people, all of them are well-trained killers, and they can take down a Gu Xinning."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she nodded in relief and said, "That's very good. If we can really get rid of Gu Xinning, the Emperor will have nothing to do with us."

Ran Hai also nodded with a smile and said: "Once Gu Xinning dies, everything will be under our control again. When the time is right, we will force Du Wangshan to hand over the jade seal. Who would dare to refuse? Hahahahaha. "

Ran Hai smiled smugly while imagining the future he was looking forward to.

After laughing for a while, Ran Hai suddenly paused, and said as if he remembered something: "If you count the time, Du Wangshan may have already got the news. We need to be prepared for this."

The Empress Dowager agreed and said, "If Du Wangshan got the news, what do you think he would do?"

Hearing the empress dowager's question, Ran Hai lowered his head, stroking his long beard, frowning and meditating, and was silent for about a quarter of an hour. Ran Hai and the empress dowager said almost in unison: "Bring back to the emperor. !"

Seeing that the empress dowager had the same opinion as himself, Ran Hai proudly stroked his long beard and continued: "If the emperor loses his sanity, he should have no power to protect himself. Even if there are guards by his side, after all, people live in a sparsely populated place. It's hard to say what will happen on the ground. For safety's sake, Du Wangshan will definitely send people to the southern border to welcome the emperor back."

The Empress Dowager also nodded with a smile and said: "We will send people to intercept and kill the Emperor on the road. As long as the Emperor cannot return to the palace, once Concubine Yun gives birth, she can register immediately. Du Wangshan will not hand over the jade seal at that time."

The two were talking excitedly, Ran Hai suddenly paused again, frowned and said: "However, we are a little short of manpower now, and the most elite killers have been beheaded by people pretending to be the emperor when they were brought out last time." , I was a little worse in the manager's group, and this time I also sent to Never Night Valley to deal with Gu Xinning. Apart from the necessary guards, there are less than 30 people available around the old man, which is not enough at all. To deal with the people sent by Du Wangshan and the guards around the emperor."

The empress dowager fell silent again after hearing the words. After a while, she tentatively asked: "Since we don't have enough manpower, why don't we see if we can borrow someone else's hand?"

"Borrow someone else's hand?" Ran Hai murmured and repeated this sentence, and began to make calculations in his heart.

After contemplating for a while, Ran Hai thought of Ha Bishan and Tuoba Tu. Ran Hai remembered that when Mo Luotang lived, when he was chatting with Mo Luotang, he heard Mo Luotang say, Tuoba Patriarch, Xiao Patriarch , and Habishanha patriarch, were quite dissatisfied with the marriage agreement between Southern Xinjiang and Zhaoxuan, and even began to ignore political affairs in order to engage in soft confrontation.

Ran Hai thought about these people, thought that these people might be useful, and was about to blurt out, but then thought about it, there is a high priest in southern Xinjiang, even if these people have the heart, they must not dare to disobey the high priest. Find a balance and dispel their concerns.

"Mo's!" Ran Hai suddenly thought of Mo Luotang again, but Mo Luotang was already dead. However, because of Mo Luotang's death, even though Mo's people dared not say it, they must have been concerned in their hearts. And Ye Junyan hated it deeply, as long as he incited it a little, he might not be able to make him target Gu Xinning and Ye Junyan again, and for these militants, they didn't want peace between the two countries.That's why they were not afraid that killing Ye Junyan would offend Zhao Xuanguo.

You just need to make the best use of the situation, these warriors may not be incapable of being used by yourself, after all not everyone is as good at calculating as Mo Luotang, now without Mo Luotang, it is more convenient to use these people.

As Ran Hai thought about it, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After the empress dowager saw it, she knew that Ran Hai must have thought of some way to deal with Ye Junyan, so she asked, "Looking at how happy brother is, could it be that he thought of it?" What idea?"

Ran Hai nodded and said, "I'm going to tell people from the Mo clan to take action against Ye Junyan."

The empress dowager asked: "Will they be willing to take action? They are not afraid of offending their high priest, and the so-called saint Gu Xinning?"

Ran Hai smiled and said, "Saint? What they hate the most is this so-called saint. As for the high priest, as long as they act in secret and don't expect the high priest to know, they have nothing to worry about. Even if the high priest knows who did it , without evidence, he has nothing to do.”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "But you have just returned to Beijing for a few days, what reason do you have to go back to southern Xinjiang now?"

Ran Hai smiled nonchalantly and said: "It's easy to handle, so I reasoned that I was concerned about the emperor's safety, and since I have met the empress dowager and concubine Yun, my heart is at ease, so what's wrong with returning to southern Xinjiang? ?”

After the empress dowager heard the words, she also nodded with a smile and said: "Well, it's all right. When is brother going to leave? Before leaving, I have to see Concubine Yun again."

"Yun'er, I'm gone. If there is anything, the empress dowager Lao will tell Yun'er."

Just as Ran Hai was talking, someone outside suddenly preached: "Concubine Yun is here."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing and said: "It's true that Cao Cao will be here, please invite her in, just in time for your father and daughter to say goodbye."

As soon as Ran Yunmo came in, she saw that Ran Hai was also there, so she went forward to salute the empress dowager and Ran Hai respectively, and then asked Ran Hai, "Daddy is here too, is he discussing something with the queen mother?"

Ran Hai nodded and said: "I plan to go to southern Xinjiang again for my father. You stay in the palace these days, and you must follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager. Don't make any claims and cause trouble."

Ran Yunmo bowed her head and said: "Yes, my daughter has remembered, and I will follow my father's instruction. I don't know if my father has something to do when he goes to southern Xinjiang this time?"

Ran Hai himself didn't intend to hide it from Ran Yunmo, so he told Ran Yunmo that Ye Junyan was unconscious, and that Gu Xinning had left Ye Junyan and went to a dangerous place to get medicine.

Ran Yunmo suddenly realized: "I understand, daddy is going to cut off the emperor's back?"

Ran Hai nodded and said: "I'm going to try to prevent the emperor from returning to the capital. Even Gu Xinning, I won't let her leave Never Night Valley alive."

Ran Yunmo heard what Ran Hai said, and said with a smile: "It seems that Daddy is fully prepared."

Ran Hai said: "It's not necessarily perfect, there have been too many precedents of Wanquan's preparations before, and the final deadline failed, so Dad no longer dares to put the word Wanquan on his lips, but I will definitely do everything I can. The resources they use will make them unable to live. You just wait to be the empress dowager." Ran Hai was afraid that the empress dowager would be unhappy, so he turned around quickly, bowed and said, "At that time, the empress dowager will be the empress dowager. "

"Then dad, you have to be careful in everything along the way." Ran Yunmo said with a concerned face.

Ran Hai nodded, and then bid farewell like an empress dowager.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ran Hai immediately asked people to pack up and prepare to leave overnight. He also wrote a letter and handed it over to the steward, who asked the steward to submit the letter of leave and resignation to Du Wangshan tomorrow afternoon. Du Wangshan manages the government and dispatches officials. Everything is decided by Du Wangshan.

Ran Hai knew that if he told Du Wangshan now that he was going to leave the capital and rush to the southern border, Du Wangshan would definitely guess his intention and would not let him go easily, so Ran Hai decided to kill first and play later, and set off overnight. After leaving the capital, The letter will be handed in tomorrow.Even if Du Wangshan can't figure it out by then, it won't work.Even if he wanted to send someone to chase him, he would naturally be unable to catch up.

All these arrangements were originally within Ran Hai's expectation, but after Ran Hai returned to Beijing, Du Wangshan had sent people to monitor Ran Hai, and every move of Ran Hai could be said to be under Du Wangshan's supervision.

Especially after receiving Ye Junyan's current situation, Du Wangshan paid more attention to Ran Hai's actions, because Du Wangshan also expected that Ran Hai must also have informers and eyes in southern Xinjiang, and the news he got must have spread to Ran Hai In Hai's ears, what will Ran Hai do if he learns about this?
Du Wangshan still couldn't figure it out for a while, but he immediately sent someone to strictly monitor Ran Hai's every move, from Ran Hai hurriedly entering the Palace of Compassion and Ning, met the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun, to Ran Hai hurriedly returning After arriving at the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister's mansion was very busy. Du Wangshan knew all about these things.

By this time, Du Wangshan had basically guessed Ran Hai's plan to leave the capital and return to southern Xinjiang.

"Ran Hai was worried that I would not let it go, so he was going to leave overnight. It seems that I guessed right. The purpose of Ran Hai's trip is really to harm the emperor. I must try to stop him." Du Wangshan thought, Continue to send people to closely monitor every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
