Concubine Jinghua: The black-bellied prince, please stay here

Chapter 419 Fishing in troubled waters
"This heaven sacrifice ceremony is a good time for us to make a move." Shen Zhi Shen looked at the people present at the Shen Mansion in Jingzhou, Qi State, "Now the queen is unpopular, if we don't take this opportunity to speed up our pace and disintegrate the queen All the forces in the country will end the current turbulent situation. Qi's situation will only become more and more turbulent. In order to prevent the war from breaking out, in order to prevent the people from suffering from the war, and to avoid the loss of life, we have to speed up pace."

"But..." Everyone was still puzzled, but Shen Zhi applauded, and immediately a servant offered real gold and silver, "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, with these gold, silver and jewels, even if our operation fails in the end , I will also protect your prosperity and wealth in your next life."

Seeing the gleaming gold, everyone finally let go, "Okay, then how do you plan to dismantle the Queen's power, Mr. Shen?"

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. The power behind the queen is too great, not to mention the support of Weiguo, and even the people of Yindu are obedient to her. Under such a general situation, we want to disintegrate her. I don't know what year and month it will be until now, the best way is to attack the queen directly..."

Here, Shen Zhi is preparing how to deal with Danxin at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and at the palace, Su Hao and others are also actively preparing for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Even if the hearts of the people are in turmoil, in their hearts, Danxin is the only queen .

Regardless of other people's gossip, Su Qingyang directly used the money in the treasury to do his best to make this ceremony grand and grand. Pay attention to it, and let the people of the whole country know that Danxin is the only queen of Qi.

To hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, a lot of items are needed. Some things that are not available in the palace, or are not enough, need to be brought in from outside.Therefore, during this period of time, the pier was extremely lively, and those who had no staff on weekdays all went to the pier to find work.

So many ships need sailors, and so many items need to be carried. In short, as long as you work hard during this period, you will definitely not starve to death.

In the Mu Mansion, the housekeeper followed Qin'er with the ledger: "Madam, the pier is extremely busy these days, and there are a lot of things needed to prepare for the queen's ceremony. The old slave has already asked the people at the pier to strictly guard it. Something went wrong."

"You must be careful and careful, the matter is very important, and there can be no mistakes." Qin'er said lightly, silent for a moment, locked the account book in her hand in the cabinet, put away the key, and said: "How about it, butler Accompany me to the pier, you know that the Empress means a lot to me, I've always felt uneasy these days, it's good to go and have a look."

"Yes." The butler nodded, "The old slave is going to prepare the carriage right now."

At the gate of the wharf, a wide and straight road leads directly to the sea, and porters passing by Qin'er from time to time.

"Ma'am, it's crowded here, you'd better go back first, and the old slave will take care of it." The housekeeper saw Qin'er and a woman walking among the crowd, even though they were protected by servants, they would still be bumped or tripped from time to time.

"It's okay." Qin'er waved her hand, before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, she had to take a look at the pier herself to be at ease.

When I walked to the shore, I saw a big ship just docking, with the royal logo on it, Qin'er lowered her eyes, "Go up and check."

"Let's go, check on the ship!" The steward summoned the dock workers, stepped on the ladder and boarded the ship belonging to the palace...

Unexpectedly, after a while, the steward ran to Qin'er's side with a look of panic on his face, and whispered a few words, only to see Qin'er's complexion changed drastically, and she said angrily: "Where is the steward of this pier, call him to see me immediately! "

After a while, a middle-aged manager in his 40s hurried over from the crowd: "The manager Chen Biao of No. 30 of the Mu family is here."

"Chen Guanshi?" Qin'er glanced coldly, "You are the biggest in this pier, are you in charge?"

The steward named "Chen Biao" bowed and said fearfully: "It is true, but Pier 31 has always been fine. I don't know what advice Madam can give you?"

"Really?" Qin'er asked quietly.

Chen Biao got goosebumps from the light words, and his heart skipped a beat: "everything the villain said is true, and I absolutely dare not lie about a word."

"Well, I don't dare to lie. If I find out that this sentence is not true, Guanshi Chen will report to his old age and return to his hometown. I think you are old and don't care about taking care of the pier. You don't even check the ships in the palace. ,follow me!"

When Chen Biao heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what happened now, so he could only say in panic: "Madam please enlighten me."

"You know if you come with me?" Qin'er was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Under the leadership of the steward, a group of people slowly boarded the big ship that had just docked, "Guard Chen, as far as you know, this ship What's on it?"

Chen Biao took the account book from his subordinates, checked it carefully before saying, "It should be melons, fruits and vegetables."

"Fruits and vegetables?" Qin'er, who has studied martial arts for many years, raised her foot and ruthlessly kicked the basket beside her.

"This... how could this happen!" Steward Chen looked at the overturned basket tremblingly. Aren't they the promised melons, fruits and vegetables? Why are they full of explosives...

Before Chen Biao could explain, Qin'er said coldly, "The queen's sacrifice ceremony is very important, don't you know? This batch of goods is sent directly to the palace. If the explosives on it are not good for the queen, There is only one end for the Mu family! That is - death!"

"Ma'am!" This sentence scared Chen Biao out of his wits, and he knelt down in the cabin with a plop, stuttering for a long time, and he could only plead guilty: "The villain's supervision is not good, so please forgive me."

"A supervisor is not good, so Chen Guanshi thought that this time things can go through like this?" Qin'er lowered her eyes, squatted down and twirled a little explosive on the ground with her fingers, "Where did so many explosives come from, where did they go?" Where, who is fishing in troubled waters and hiding on this ship, is it not the duty of Chen Guanshi to find out?"

"Yes, yes." Steward Chen nodded hastily.

Qin'er clapped her hands and stood up, "Until the truth comes to light, we can't disclose a word about this matter."

As soon as these words came out, not only Steward Chen, but even the steward was shocked, and turned to look at Qin'er, "Madam, this matter is of great importance, so we must report it to the court, right?"

Danxin seemed to have thought that he would be opposed by everyone, and the palms of his sleeves were sweating.But she still clasped her hands in front of her body, trying to keep her voice calm and calm: "I say I can't report it, but I can't report it. No one is allowed to leave without permission before this matter is investigated."

Qin'er looked sideways at the workers on the ship, "Come here, take all the sailors on this ship to Mu's house! Don't touch anyone without my permission." Someone wanted to use her hand to do something to the queen. What, that is absolutely impossible.

The butler was silent for a moment, and only nodded his head to accept the order. Now that the Mu family is developing better and better under Mrs. Qin'er's hands, he has no reason not to obey Mrs. Qin'er's orders.

The ship was seized, and all the explosives on it were confiscated by Qin'er. As for where it was hidden, no one knew.

Shen Zhi waited and waited, but he still didn't wait for the explosives to arrive, "It's strange, it should have arrived, come on, come and have a look at the pier."

Shen Zhi's people went to the pier, and the workers on the pier had already been warned by Qin'er, no one dared to tell the truth, and only said: "There are too many ships recently, just wait."

"Wait?" The servant returned to Shen's mansion to return, but he was slapped by Shen Zhi, "When will you wait, ask them, if there is no exact time, don't come back."

In a few days, it will be the indifferent ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. If he misses such a good opportunity, how can he avenge his parents?
In the Mu Mansion, Qin'er pondered for a day and a night, and finally decided to give Dan Xin a side shot.Although she is busy with affairs now, Qin'er feels that it is necessary to tell her that someone is going to kill her.

Early the next morning, after Qin'er finished washing, she hurried towards the palace without even having breakfast.

"I want to meet Her Majesty the Empress, or Qing'er is also fine." When she came to the gate of the palace, Qin'er took out her waist card.

The guard looked down and immediately said respectfully: "So it's Mrs. Mu's family, I'm sorry, but Miss Qing'er has been missing for many days, and the empress is still in the morning court, why don't you wait a moment?"

"Qing'er is missing?" Qin'er was shocked, why didn't she know about this?
After entering the side hall of the imperial study, Qin'er waited all morning, and didn't see Dan Xin frowning until noon. "Qin'er sees Her Majesty the Empress." Getting up from the chair, Qin'er strode towards Danxin.

Danxin seemed to be thinking about something, until Qin'er knelt at her feet, she didn't realize it, and said in a daze: "Ah, Qin'er is you, I thought it was Qing'er." Coupled with the fact that Danxin is in a mess now, it is not surprising that he admits the wrong person.

Qin'er frowned, "Where did Qing'er go? Why did the guard say he hadn't seen her for a long time?" Originally, he wanted to tell Danxin about the explosives, but after seeing her today, Qing'er realized that Danxin had gone through a lot of vicissitudes. Perhaps because of the busy government affairs, coupled with the people and things around me, in short, it has only been a short year, and Danxin seems to have aged three or four years old.

Thinking of this, Qin'er decided not to tell Danxin about the explosives for the time being.

Mentioning Qing'er's disappearance, Danxin felt even more headache, "The Ninth Prince of Chu kidnapped her and asked to exchange her with the throne of Chu, so now I can only attack Chu, and take the throne of Chu and give it to the Ninth Prince in exchange for her." Qinger's peace."

"..." Qin'er's eyes widened, no wonder the Queen changed so much in such a short period of time, it turned out to be excessive worry.Hearing that the Empress personally tested the medicine for the Princess a few days ago, she was unconscious for several days. Thinking of this, Qin'er couldn't help but shed tears, "Damn the slave, I shouldn't have left the Empress in the first place."

She lowered her head and smiled lightly, "It's all over, so there's no need to mention it anymore." After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky outside, "Shall we stay for lunch?"

"Okay." Qin'er also wanted to accompany Danxin more, so she agreed.

The two had lunch, Dan Xin hurriedly went to deal with government affairs, Qin'er left the imperial study, and was supposed to return to the Mu Mansion.But thinking of the batch of explosives, Qin'er changed her direction, "Where is Su Qingyang?"
