The fifth lady against the sky

Chapter 220 VS Two Hundred (2)
Xiahou Qianmo took out the prepared hemostatic powder and scattered it on Xiahou Litian's incision, and quickly bandaged the wound.

The queen couldn't help retching already, the Gu worms were too ugly, the whole body was green as if covered with moss, the fat muscles were round and round, and there were teeth in the open mouth.

Xiahou Litian kept his eyes closed tightly in pain, not seeing the appearance of Gu worms.Enduring the pain for such a long time, his whole body was wet, Xiahou Litian was already lying weakly on the warm couch.

Seeing that Xiahou Litian's coat was soaked with sweat, the queen quickly took the quilt from the bed and covered Xiahou Litian with it.He went out and ordered the maids to prepare hot water and ginseng soup.

After everything was packed, Xiahou Qianmo took Feng Muxie back from the secret passage of the palace overnight, sent Feng Muxie to the general's mansion, and left in a hurry.

When Feng Muxie returned to the General's Mansion, she was so tired that she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In the secret room of the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister waited all night for the person who came to report, guessing in his heart that his daughter must have failed in the palace.The prime minister didn't expect everything to be quiet, how could it be unsuccessful, doesn't the emperor want to get rid of the Gu technique on his body?A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, since he failed, he had to make one last fight, if he failed, he would be benevolent, if he didn't fight hard, the emperor would not let him go.

On the night of the Prime Minister's Lianlian night, someone invited Cheng Guogong and Xiahou Qianlie. Cheng Guogong vaguely knew the plan of the prime minister recently, but the details were not very detailed. Xiahou Qianlie had no idea about the plans of his grandfather and imperial concubine.Xiahou Qianlie has always disapproved of seizing the crown prince. In Xiahou Qianlie's heart, the crown prince is the queen's eldest son, not to mention that he is not in that lofty position.Therefore, Xiahou Qianlie tried to persuade the prime minister and the imperial concubine in the past few years, but the imperial concubine was determined to win that position, so Xiahou Qianlie had no choice but to follow their arrangement.From this point, it can be seen that Xiahou Qianlie is an indecisive person. Even if such a person becomes the emperor, he will not achieve anything. It is estimated that the prime minister will completely become the "regent" who controls the emperor.

After Cheng Guogong and Xiahou Qianlie came to the prime minister's secret room, Cheng Guogong stood on the side without saying a word, and Xiahou Qianlie asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, why did you let me come here in the middle of the night? What happened?" Yet?"

The prime minister sighed, although the prime minister was an old man in his 60s, his eyes were full of energy. He looked at Xiahou Qianlie in front of him, thinking to himself that if his grandson had the brains of a prince or Prince Li, and had the ambition to win the throne, I will not do everything myself, and things will not fail so easily.At this moment, the prime minister did not admit at all that he had any ambition to control the ruling and opposition parties.

After the prime minister sighed, the voice of vicissitudes slowly said: "Your concubine mother started to act tonight, and manipulated the emperor to abolish the prince and queen, but there is no news from the hidden guards yet, I guess your concubine mother failed gone."

Xia Hou Qianlie felt a little evidence in his heart, and turned to angrily said: "Why didn't you tell the king about your private actions, and now the mother and concubine are in danger. The prime minister's mansion and Prince Gong's mansion will be implicated. What should we do now? Tomorrow the king will personally Go to the palace to plead guilty, maybe the father and the king will see that the mother and the concubine have served her for many years, and will not give the mother and concubine to death."

Xiahou Qianlie didn't know that Li Xiangyun had committed suicide.The prime minister thought that Li Xiangyun held the method of dispelling Gu, and Xiahou Litian would not do anything to her, otherwise the prime minister's mansion would still be safe and sound. What the prime minister didn't know was that the prime minister's mansion had already been surrounded by Xiahou Litian's dark forces. These hidden guards are all first-class masters who hide very well, so naturally they were not discovered by the prime minister's mansion.

Cheng Guogong was silent on the sidelines. Although Cheng Guogong had been helping the prime minister to suppress the prince's party, Cheng Guogong had a thorough understanding of everything and knew that the prime minister was in his final dying struggle at this moment.

When the prime minister heard what Xiahou Qianlie said, he slapped the table angrily, and said in a cold voice: "You go to intercede, do you think the emperor will let you go? You are throwing yourself into a trap. At this moment, you have to put all your eggs in one basket and fight to the death, otherwise the prime minister's government will There is only one dead end with Prince Gong's Mansion."

Just as Xia Hou Qianlie was about to argue, the prime minister directly ordered Cheng Guogong who had been standing aside: "You take your personal guards to surround the palace, Prince Li's mansion, Prince Ren's mansion and Prince Wen's mansion, and say that the crown prince wants to kill you." The emperor seeks power to usurp the throne, as long as he sees someone coming out of the three palaces and palaces, no matter who they are, he will be killed on the spot. The old man has ordered our people to open the city gate at dawn and welcome the army secretly sent by the general into the capital. Enter the palace and take the throne."

Cheng Guogong said: "Master, although half of the personal guards are under my control, after these years, only some of them have truly belonged to me, and some of them are determined to be loyal to the emperor until death, unless they see the emperor's order." , they will not obey my arrangement."

The prime minister snorted coldly and said: "This matter can't be done well. You tell those pro-guards who don't surrender that their family members are in your hands. If anyone doesn't obey your arrangement, kill his family members." If you don't threaten them in this way, kill them directly."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Cheng Guogong's face, and he nodded.

The prime minister saw Xiahou Qianlie's hesitation and reluctance to speak, and he hated iron and steel: "If you hesitate, your mother and concubine will be executed by the emperor. Meng'er is five months pregnant now, you can't bear to see your mother and concubine." Did the child die before it was born? If you hesitate like this, no one around you will be able to survive. We can only live if we are ruthless."

Xiahou Qianlie thought of the child in the womb of his concubine Li Meng'er, and couldn't bear it. This was his first child and he was full of expectations. How could he bear to let him die before he came to the world.However, Xiahou Qianlie still had a sliver of faith in his heart, believing that Xiahou Litian would not be so cruel.

Just after dawn, Feng Muxie got up and wrote a letter, handed it to the servants and delivered it to Cui Yunyi.Feng Muxie had promised Cui Yunyi that he would help them at critical times.Feng Muxie knew that Cui Yunyi had already transferred most of his property, and now told him that the prime minister's plan had failed, so that Cui Yunyi and his family could escape quickly, and maybe they could save the Cui family.
