fake prince

Chapter 1266
Royal Palace
Although it was early in the morning, covered by a layer of clouds, the gloomy and gloomy sky added to the uneasiness. The queen's hair was loose, and she let the closest old eunuch comb her little by little.

"What's the usual thing today?" The queen looked at the person in the mirror, frowning slightly. She looked dignified and beautiful, but her face was so pale that she couldn't bear to stare at her.

The old eunuch agreed, and said, "Your Majesty showed her kindness, and Concubine Wu offered six baskets of tangerines."

Looking at the Queen's chin slightly, he said: "Concubine Zhong has presented ten volumes of brocade, which is not a big deal, but the King of Ninghe County has presented the "Three Mountains of Immortality" and a hundred seven-point pearls."

The three mountains are Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai, which are recorded in Liezi·Tang Wen in the east of the Bohai Sea. It is said that they have the medicine of immortality.

As for the seven-point pearls, the quality of pearls is based on the theory of points (1 tael = 10 qian, 1 qen = 10 fen), and those weighing three and a half cents will be on the table. The so-called "seventh is divided into pearls, eighth is divided into treasures".

A hundred seven-point pearls is a heavy gift, and given the current financial situation of King Ninghe, it is even more generous.

The queen raised her face and thought for a while, but she was not angry: "What does he want?"

"Concubine Wei, even though she died due to illness, got a posthumous title, but not only the posthumous title is not beautiful, but also the actual sacrifice is not good. The king of Ninghe County wants to ask for some favor."

"He's filial." The queen said something lightly, but there was no more to say, and the old eunuch didn't say anything.

"Empress..." A eunuch suddenly came in and bowed to the sitting woman.

The woman stared at the bronze mirror and asked without turning her head, "How is the situation?"

The eunuch who came to report the matter was a member of Nishuihan whose background Zhao Tengzhong saw.

The eunuch reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Hu Huai'an investigates the kings and grandsons, and enters the palace to report to His Majesty."

"According to Nishuihan's information, the king of Shu colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, the king of Qi colluded with the demon clan, and the grandson received the county officials. This is the information Hu Huai'an got."

"And the emperor's reaction is that the three words of Plan B, I can't find out the specifics."

After saying this, he lowered his head and said nothing more.

The queen sat and listened quietly. After hearing these words, she couldn't help but sneered.

She didn't like the temperament of the old emperor's princes, and sneered: "Well, the king of Shu colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the king of Qi colluded with the monster clan. The old man raised a good son!"

The remaining sons are all of this virtue. The son who really loved the old man was killed by the old man.

What kind of absurd joke is this?
Unfortunately, as the mother of a child who was killed, she really couldn't laugh.

"Retire." The queen said to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch promised to step down.

The queen stared at the person in the bronze mirror, as if through her own eyes, she saw what happened more than 20 years ago again, and saw the handsome young man smiling at her.

"What do you think the emperor will do?" The queen turned her head, as if her thoughts were heavy, and she looked into the distance with a dazed expression, only then did she realize that the sky was overcast and the stars, rain and fog had fallen.

The old eunuch who was combing her hair was Yu Han.

This is a serious inquiry, Yu Han was silent for a while, put the jade comb on the mirror stand, stepped back, knelt down on the ground, and paused: "Madam, this old servant feels that the emperor has probably reached the time to charge to the death."

"Oh?" The queen didn't agree or disagree.

Yu Han continued: "Since my son is unreliable, in the eyes of the emperor, he has no way out."

"Ordinary people have no way, and they may repent, but the emperor is the opposite. Once there is no way, he will only go all the way to the end."

"The so-called Plan B may be launched forcefully regardless of public opinion."

There are different plans about the emperor, which is the information that Nishuihan has mastered.

According to the results of Hu Huai'an's investigation, both the King of Shu and the King of Qi are basically abolished.

Even the emperor really liked the son of King Qi, and when King Qi colluded with the Yaozu, this liking was bound to turn into great disappointment.

The queen stroked her drooping hair slowly and said, "Yes, as long as he can kill my grandson, he can live another 20 years."

This sound was really ridiculed and extremely deep hatred.

The old man has continued his life for 20 years, isn't that enough?
The woman in the mirror moved gracefully and slowly, while the queen outside the mirror stopped her movements and murmured: "With the cooperation of Zhao Tianzhong...how is the preparation in the palace?"

Yu Han stood up, took out a piece of paper from the interlayer of his clothes, and spread it out for the queen to see.

This roll of paper forms a line from the outer door to the inside, and there are obstacles at a few points in the middle.

"Your Majesty, these people are difficult to subdue. If they cannot be eliminated, they may cause obstacles."

"Xu Tinglan from the Siyuan Bureau? This is the court lady who served the old man a few years ago, but now she is the female officer in charge of the Siyuan Bureau..."

The name of the circled person made the queen feel a little displeased when she saw it.

She looked at several circled "obstacles", among them was Qianhu Shangde, the gatekeeper.

"This Shang De is also a very foolish and loyal person to the emperor. People who are against the water have tested him and found that he cannot be bribed at all. It is not easy to create a handle."

The queen frowned: "Can't it be solved?"

Yu Han shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is very difficult. The personnel arrangement in the palace, especially the guards and soldiers, is related to the lifeline of the emperor, and the emperor has always paid attention to it."

"We have been preparing in a roundabout way for more than ten years, but we just put some people in. No matter how many people there are, the emperor will definitely be alert."

The emperor is instinctively sensitive to this kind of thing, and he really would rather kill the wrong than let it go.

The queen knew the emperor's temper and means well, and understood Yu Han's difficulties. She nodded, and then fell into deep thought, thinking about how to break the situation.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked: "You said, Concubine Wu responded to my kindness, what happened specifically?"

Yu Han replied: "Concubine Wu is a little moved, but she dare not respond, at least not now."

This is normal, the queen nodded, accepting the result.

Although Concubine Wu had been a favorite concubine for a long time, she was able to be a favorite concubine precisely because she was not only beautiful, but also had a knowledgeable and prudent side, which allowed her to be honored and favored for many years.

If it weren't for such a personality, Concubine Wu would not have been favored for so many years.

Success is also due to this character, and it is also because of this character that he dare not respond.

"There is no need for her to respond." Thinking of the reason why Concubine Wu was chosen, the queen secretly wanted to say that she only had a princess, but she had no reason to get involved in such a thing.

Just thinking about it, suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, the little eunuch who had left before turned back.

"What happened?" Yu Han realized something was wrong and asked immediately.

If something urgent hadn't happened, Nishuihan's people wouldn't be so impatient that they turned back in a hurry just after leaving.

The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "Madam, Yu Gonggong, Xu Tinglan, the female officer in charge of the Siyuan Bureau, was suddenly ordered to die, and Qianhu Shangde, the guard of the period, was brought for inspection. The former is already dead, and the latter has been taken away. Already!"

"Jianzhangwei's deputy commander, He Wuling, was directly dismissed from office, and the situation is even worse!"

what?
The queen was shocked by this information. She waved her hand, stood up, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "What's going on? What did these two people do?"

The little eunuch reported: "The three of them seem to be involved in the rumor case, and they are quite involved."
