After redemption, he took away the luck of the future queen

Outside the window, the night is quiet.

Pairs of eyes were staring at the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, quietly and no one could notice it.

Suddenly, a black figure approached the Linjiang Marquis Mansion at an extremely fast speed.

The next moment, the black shadow was stared at by two pairs of eyes. Just when the black shadow wanted to turn over and jump into the courtyard wall of Linjiang Marquis Mansion, he was pinned to the ground by two figures rushing out of the night.

In the Linjiang Hou Mansion.

Marquis Linjiang, who was sitting in his study, knew nothing about this.

An hour later, there was Zhuangzi's underground interrogation room somewhere on the outskirts of the capital.

The black shadow who wanted to climb over the wall and jump into the Linjiang Marquis Mansion was tied to the torture rack by Wu Huada.

The four walls of the interrogation room were covered with all kinds of mind-numbing torture instruments. In the center of the room was a large iron pot with charcoal and a soldering iron burning brightly.

The man drooped his head, the bruises on his face were shocking, and there was a blood stain hanging from the corner of his mouth. The blood dripped down from the corner of the man's mouth, and fell on the open space in front of the execution rack, forming a pool of blood.

The man's body was covered with wounds, his skin was torn, and his clothes that had been torn by the whip were stained with blood. His legs were shaking, and his crotch was wet, with a faint smell of urine.

It was obvious that the man had been severely tortured.

An iron-blooded guard wearing an animal skin mask picked up one end of the red-hot iron in the large iron pot, walked up to the man, and asked lightly: "Tell me, why did you sneak into the Linjiang Marquis Mansion at night? Why don't you tell me anything?" Man’s purpose? Tell the truth and I can spare your life. If you don’t tell me, once the iron falls on you, your life will be worse than death.”

The iron-blooded guard's voice was cold and surprisingly calm.

The man on the torture rack felt the hot breath slowly approaching him, and he was trembling with fear. Before the iron fell on him, he was already worse than dead, and he was shaking with fear.

"I said, I told you, would you really spare my life if I told you?" the man said while spitting out the blood in his mouth, his speech a little unclear.

"Of course, as long as you don't hide anything and tell the truth, your life will be spared." Iron-Blooded Guard Wei Er said coldly.

"Okay, I'll do it." The man spat out the last mouthful of blood and continued, "I was ordered by Chang Xingbo to go to Linjiang Marquis Mansion to test Linjiang Marquis."

"What kind of test?" Wei Er asked.

"Chang Xingbo wants to know how willing Marquis Linjiang is to support the eldest prince to take that position? Is he willing to cooperate with the next actions? What price is he willing to pay? These are all things I need to test, and what is done is done After that, whether Linjiang Marquis will support the Queen Mother to listen to politics behind the curtain, that’s all.”

"When to act?"

"I don't know. I've said everything I need to say. There's no need for me to hide it."

"Yeah." Wei Er responded. It was beyond his expectation that he could ask so many questions.

Then Wei Er asked: "There is a big house in the middle outside the palace wall on the east side of the palace. Have you ever been to that house? Or do you know anyone who has been to that house?"

"I've been to that house before, but that was two years ago."

"Oh, was it when the late emperor passed away? What were you doing there?"

"Yes, it happened to be just before the death of the late emperor. I didn't do anything. I just followed my master's orders and stayed there."

"How many people were in that house at that time?"

"It's quite a lot. I don't know the exact number of people. I just followed orders. Later, a large number of people suddenly disappeared overnight. The master had no one to use, so I used them. I don't know how the master's manpower disappeared." "

"Anything else to say?"

Wei Er knew about this. Chang Xingbo's men were wiped out when he attacked the prince's mansion, but he didn't expect that there were still men left.

"No, didn't you say you would stay in the next life? If I think of anything later, I won't hide it."

"Okay, since you have invited me, I will naturally spare your life, but I need to borrow your clothes to take off your clothes." Wei Er said while untying the rope that bound the man.

"Okay." The man obeyed unconditionally, endured the severe pain in his body, and took off his clothes that were stained with blood and already in ruins.

Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

A male corpse with his face scratched, his hands and feet cut off, and his body covered with scars appeared in Changxing Bo Mansion.

Chang Xingbo was shocked when he saw the man's body and ordered his confidants to search him.

The confidant went to search the body and found a letter on the body of the man.

Chang Xingbo took the letter and read it quickly.

After reading the letter, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and scold the eighteenth generation ancestor of Linjiang Marquis.

Changxingbo was very angry. Marquis Linjiang actually said in the letter that the two families were in conflict with each other and there was no need to cooperate. He asked him not to have any idea of ​​the eldest prince. The Cui family would not cooperate with the Sang family and asked him to give up this idea as soon as possible. .

It was a very short letter, but the information revealed in it was very rich, which made Chang Xingbo couldn't help but think that Linjiang Marquis was very ambitious and must be secretly planning to help the eldest prince ascend to that position.

Thinking of this, Chang Xingbo pulled out a mocking smile. Marquis Linjiang didn't know it, but the eldest prince was no longer the eldest prince.

He was also willing to see Linjiang Hou support the eldest prince in ascending to the throne, and was even willing to silently provide Linjiang Hou with help without expecting anything in return, secretly helping the eldest prince ascend to the throne.

The day the eldest prince ascends to the throne will be the day when the Linjiang Hou Mansion will be destroyed without any knowledge.

The Linjiang Marquis Mansion and even the entire Cui family are just pawns in his hands. When the birds are gone and the good bows are hidden, there will be nothing more to do with Linjiang Marquis.

However, the situation was different now. The emperor seemed to have noticed something, so the plan had to be advanced.

He didn't believe that Linjiang Marquis could defeat the emperor on his own, so he extended a hand to Linjiang Marquis, but Linjiang Marquis didn't want his help and looked down on Changxing Bofu. Humph, Linjiang Marquis would have to fight for it sooner or later. His arrogance paid the price.

royal palace.

Royal study room.

Gu Jianli looked at the results of the investigation and guessed that Chang Xingbo would definitely go to Linjiang Marquis and join forces with Linjiang Marquis and the Cui family to force the palace or even rebel.

Things were progressing so fast, or maybe Chang Xingbo couldn't hold it any longer and didn't wait for the eldest prince to grow up before taking action, or for the Cui family to invest more effort and resources in the eldest prince. This was because he took action. He asked people to quietly let out the news, saying that he had begun to doubt the identity of the eldest prince.

Chang Xingbo couldn't hold it any longer, and it also proved from another aspect that the eldest prince was indeed related to the Sang family.

The purpose is to catch him off guard and eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible, instead of allowing the opponent to make plans in advance. If he takes action again at that time, the outcome will still be uncertain.

Previously, the underground passage of the palace was in the hands of the Queen Mother. He had already guessed this, but what surprised him was that the sudden death of the late emperor was also related to Chang Xingbo.

After the renovation of the underground passage was completed, he had the confidence to uncover the eldest prince's matter. Otherwise, he would not have dared to act rashly. Unexpectedly, he gained a good harvest.

Now there is a thorny problem before him, that is, the evidence against Chang Xingbo and the Queen Mother is insufficient. Not only is it insufficient, it can be said that no evidence pointing to the Queen Mother has been found, which is not enough to get rid of them at once.

But even so, he had to reveal the eldest prince's affairs as soon as possible and eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Wei Er, can you find out the specific time of Chang Xingbo's action?" Gu Jianli asked.

The competition between the two sides has always been a back-and-forth affair. Unless you can kill the other side with one punch, you still have to judge the next action based on the other side's reaction.

"Your Majesty, we haven't found anything yet. However, as long as we act in advance and disrupt the opponent's pace, in order to respond, the opponent will definitely reveal his flaws or act hastily in advance. In this way, the opponent will lose."

"Yeah." Gu Jianli thought the same way, raised his eyebrows and said, "Spread the word and let the Queen Mother know that I will have a blood test tomorrow."

"Tomorrow!" Wei Er was shocked, so fast.

"Well, they will definitely take action tonight, so go and be prepared." Gu Jianli ordered that this time they must clear out all their minions at once, and let the other party become a toothless paper tiger.

Wei Er was ordered to retreat.
