Rebirth: Splendid Wedding

Chapter 204 Conspiracy Countermeasures Borrowing a Knife to Kill People (2)
After listening to Tuoba Zhen's words, Yuan Hua nodded in agreement, and said: "Over the years, we haven't been able to find Tuoba Lin's weakness, now it's all over, we know where his weakness is, and we can deal with it in the future."

"Do you think that Tuoba Lin will let us find the weak point so easily?" Tuoba Lin stood up, leaned on the railing and said: "The purpose of his doing this is to lure us into the bait. If we attack him, he will die. It’s okay, if we don’t die, it will bite us back instead.”

"What if we don't need to use a knife?" Tuoba Zhen smiled and said: "Besides, you must be absolutely sure to kill him. This time he only brought one guard, and Princess Leping doesn't know martial arts, so it is to kill him." Best time."

Yuan Hua was stunned, and Tuoba Lin said: "You want to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

"Why not?" Tuoba Zhen said his plan, "Isn't he going to deal with the canal? Because the river embankment collapsed there not long ago, there are tens of thousands of victims waiting for the rescue of the court. If they arrive There, at this moment, the victims of the disaster launched a riot, and among the rioting victims, a group of top Jianghu killers were mixed in, no matter how capable he was, he could not fly."

Tuoba Lin thought for a while, then said: "This method is feasible, but it must not expose flaws, making people suspect that it is our scheme."

"Of course." Tuoba Zhen said confidently: "We just need to push this task to Prince Rui, if we miss it and get caught, we will only think that it was Prince Rui who did it, and no one will suspect us, but We just sit back and enjoy the benefits."

"What kind of reasoning?"

"Remember Zhang Huaide? He is Prince Rui's capable subordinate, but he once had a grudge against Prince Yong. It just so happens that his wife and uncle are the deputy head of the Cao Clan. We only need to provoke Zhang Huaide in front of him and we will surely succeed."

Tuoba Lin came over and patted Tuobazhen's shoulder and said, "Eighth brother, just do as you say, but we can't contact Zhang Huaide, so as not to be suspicious."

"Don't worry, I already have someone in my mind." Tuobazhen raised his eyebrows, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Why didn't the prince marry Feng Xiaoyun as the concubine? If he married her, Prime Minister Feng would have to stand by us. Here." If Dong Zhao hadn't been demoted, it would be fine, but now that he is demoted, the prince will lose half of his wings, and Dong Ruojie is of no help to the prince at all.

Hearing this, Tuoba Lin seemed to recall something from the past, his eyes were gloomy, and he said lightly: "Even if you think about it, Father would not arrange it like this."

"why?"

Tuoba Lin was silent.

Yuan Hua continued: "Isn't it easy to understand? The emperor doesn't want the crown prince's power to expand, but hopes that their brothers can be harmonious, so he asked Prince Yong to marry Princess Xilin, and at the same time asked Prince Rui to marry Fengxiang's daughter. One is to hope that Prime Minister Feng, Prince Yong, and Prince Rui can help the crown prince to successfully ascend the throne with peace of mind; the other is to guard against brothers competing for the throne, and even more afraid that after the crown prince ascends the throne, the prince will be killed by his brothers and others, so Prince Yong and Rui are used The king's two forces are here to contain the prince."

"Father is a suspicious and suspicious person. Now he is not afraid of our brothers competing for the position, but he is afraid that he will be replaced by Gu. He has his grandfather as his backer, and he is also supported by Yuwen Taifu and others. Therefore, even if Father hates fourth brother , will still give him some power to contain Gu. After the fall of the Yan family, letting Tuoba Lin come back is nothing more than to suppress Gu, so he will not let a woman with more background be the crown princess."

Tuobazhen frowned slightly, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, this is also the reason why you insisted on marrying Dong Ruojie as the crown princess. You don't want your father to treat you as an imaginary enemy?"

At the same time, he also understood why Tuoba Lin was favored by his father. Although it was rumored that he was the son of Emperor Wu Cheng, everyone almost acquiesced, but he never thought of proving his identity. The throne is not coveted, so Emperor Wu Cheng is naturally relaxed with him, so there is no need to be suspicious.

Tuoba Lin remained silent, and instead stared at the flowers and plants not far downstairs, thinking about what Tuobazhen said in his mind, was the reason why he insisted on marrying Dong Ruojie as the crown princess at the beginning because he was afraid of being suspected by his father?Or... because of that promise when I was young?

Seeing that Tuoba Lin didn't answer, Tuoba Zhen and Yuan Hua glanced at each other, knowing that this was the end of the topic.Yuan Hua thought for a while, and said, "Prince, Zhou Xiang's birthday is tomorrow, we..."

knock knock --

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Yuan Hua's words.

"Prince, the princess is here."

Hearing this, Tuoba Zhen immediately said: "Prince, I will leave first, and I will take care of the riot." After finishing speaking, before Tuoba Lin nodded, he left as before.

At this time, Dong Ruojie had already opened the door and came in, followed by Lu'er carrying a basket.Seeing this, Yuan Hua blessed Tuoba Lin and retreated.

"Is something wrong?" Tuoba Lin's face was gloomy.

"Seeing that you have been drinking for the past two days, my concubine is worried about your health, so I specially cooked the soup for you." Dong Ruojie signaled Lu'er to fill up the soup, and then brought it to Tuoba Lin herself, saying: "By the way, I apologize to you. It was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't be impulsive and deal with Princess Leping alone."

After going back yesterday, the prince found out about this, so he scolded her, and because he was also angry in his heart, he reprimanded him a few words, and the two broke up unhappy.Afterwards, when she heard that he had gone to Concubine Yun's place, she realized that she no longer had the conditions to compete for favor.In the past, she had her natal family as a backer, but her natal family collapsed before its foundation was stable. If she wanted to squander the relationship they had built up over the years, sooner or later she would lose what she had now.

Downstairs just now, Dong Ruohan's deliberate ridicule and provocation made her understand her situation even more.

Old people are not as good as new people.No one understands how deeply this sentence hurts her?If she hadn't noticed it early, wouldn't she be the princess today.

Whatever has been caught by her, whether it is a person or a position of power, as long as she is not dead, she will never let go!
Tuoba Lin didn't take the soup bowl, stared at her, raised the corners of his lips, and sneered coldly, "My concubine is gentle and virtuous, always thinking of Gu, why should I apologize to Gu."

The hand holding the soup bowl paused, almost spilling the soup in the bowl, Dong Ruojie couldn't help feeling flustered, she knew that Tuoba Lin was really disappointed in her this time.

With a bang, the soup bowl fell from her hand, and tears rolled out of her eyes. She rushed forward, hugged him tightly, and apologized crying: "Rin, I'm sorry! I won't dare to mess around again, everything I listen to you, okay?"

In the past, whenever she cried, he would soften his heart. Although she didn't want to do that, in order to keep his heart, she would try even if she didn't care.
