Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 1156 The mastermind behind the scenes
Princess An Qing had not returned yet, and the Eighth Prince suddenly said such words. The clever little palace maid immediately guessed that something had happened to Princess An Qing.
Although she didn't know how Princess An Qing got into trouble when she went out, she could guess that it was related to the Eighth Prince.
She had to be on her guard but dared not show any expression on her face for fear of angering the Eighth Prince. However, her pretentious attitude only made the Eighth Prince laugh.
"As expected of someone trained by Tu Yuanzhou, your pretentious attitude is really a bit intimidating. If I didn't know your relationship with Princess An Qing, I might really be fooled by you."
"Unfortunately, Princess An Qing gave me a list of Wulan spies in order to gain my trust, and your portrait was on the list."
When the eighth prince finished speaking, he glared at the little palace maid.
"The Third and Fourth Brothers fought so fiercely, it must be you who was behind it, otherwise why would the Fourth Brother, who had taken the throne, issue such a stupid order, thus making the Third Brother and others want to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel."
"If they had failed to force the emperor to revolt, they could have still lived. After all, they are the emperor's sons, and he has few adult sons. As long as they admit their mistakes to him, he will only imprison them and will not take their lives personally."
"But why did the third and fourth brothers both suffer losses? Why did the sixth and ninth brothers run away from Luoyang City and establish themselves as kings? Tu Zhizhi, why don't you explain things to me now?"
The little palace maid, Tu Zhizhi, was able to gain the trust of Princess An Qing not only because of her own abilities, but also because she was Tu Yuanzhou's biological sister.
She followed Princess An Qing to Dajing in order to do everything she could to throw Dajing into complete chaos.
The fake prince and Princess An Qing are just pawns on the surface and can be abandoned by her at any time.
The emperor's sons and the opium developed by Liu Yaoyao are the real killer weapons.
Opium is a medicine. Liu Yaoyao is a good talker and with just a few words she hyped up this medicine as a miracle drug. In less than a year, it was circulated from Luoyang City to other places.
In fact, several of the emperor's sons almost got involved with opium, but as soon as the fourth prince ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to monopolize power.
The emperor originally treated him as a puppet, but he was unwilling to be a puppet, and the emperor was naturally unwilling to accept that, so the emperor wanted to suppress him and support another prince.
As the emperor's most beloved son, the third prince understood the emperor's thoughts best. However, the emperor directly chose the fourth prince and did not let him take the throne, which completely disappointed him.
He was unwilling to trust the emperor anymore, so he wanted to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel.
So he focused all his attention on forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebel, and the other princes more or less noticed his actions.
They were not stupid and knew what was best for themselves, so they also put some thought into it, and therefore opium was not sent to their homes.
Tu Zhizhi had regretted this matter many times until the two princes died for the throne. Princess An Qing was suspected and feared by the Eighth Prince because of Concubine De's death, so she planned to poison the Eighth Prince.
She initially wanted to stop Princess An Qing, after all, Concubine De had previously passed a lot of information to Tu Yuanzhou.
The Quanrong fought with Dajing for more than ten years, all thanks to the news spread by Concubine De. If Chen Changli had not suddenly appeared, Dajing would have been conquered by the Quanrong long ago.
Tu Yuanzhou can also take this opportunity to gather people's hearts and create a grand scene again.
Unfortunately, it took Chen Changli ten years to emerge, and the Quanrong were frightened by it.
So as soon as Concubine De died, the Eighth Prince inherited Concubine De's network of contacts and all evidence of their dealings.
Tu Zhizhi didn't want Princess An Qing and the Eighth Prince to fall out with each other, thus bringing up these matters.
However, she didn't expect that Princess An Qing didn't listen to her advice at all, and went to poison the Eighth Prince behind her back, and was caught by Chen Changli and the Crown Princess.
Things got increasingly out of control after that. She wanted to turn the tide but didn't know where to start.
Fortunately, the emperor was still thinking about the Phoenix Gu, and Princess An Qing used the Phoenix Gu to hang the emperor, thus saving his life and being trapped in the palace.
Tu Zhizhi then got a chance to catch her breath and quickly passed the message to Tu Yuanzhou, asking him to speed up his actions and break through the western border as soon as possible to establish himself as king.
More than half a month ago, Tu Yuanzhou brought good news. While Tu Zhizhi was happy for him, she also wanted to make Dajing collapse completely, so she secretly condoned the spread of opium.
Unexpectedly, this time it was Chen Changli and his wife who discovered the side effects of opium and exposed it in front of civil and military officials.
A large amount of opium was destroyed. Tu Zhizhi felt so heartbroken that her heart was bleeding, and she hated Chen Changli and his wife to the core.
However, she was able to distinguish the priorities of various matters, and she forced herself to suppress her hatred. She subtly reminded Princess An Qing, wanting her to stir up trouble.
Princess An Qing was finally persuaded by her. A strange incident occurred in Luoyang City. She was shocked and frightened and had no choice but to lie low.
Finally, there were signs that the matter of the strange man was being resolved. The emperor's health was frail again, so Tu Zhizhi naturally cheered up again and wanted to get rid of the emperor and the annoying Chen Changli and his wife in one go.
However, Princess An Qing woke up after a few days of coma, and it was as if she had lost her brain. She actually expressed her malicious intentions directly in front of Chen Changli and Duke Huiguo.
Tu Zhizhi was extremely angry, but she had to hold it in, to the point that she was almost going to collapse.
After Chen Changli and Duke Huiguo left, she wanted to make things clear with Princess An Qing and comfort her so that she could calm down.
As a result, Princess An Qingchang went to see the emperor, but he didn't want to pay attention to her. She never came back, and then the eighth prince came.
Tu Zhizhi had a bad feeling in her heart and quickly observed her surroundings out of the corner of her eye, wanting to seize the opportunity to escape from here, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince came prepared, and she couldn't find any chance to escape.
Pursing her lips, Tu Zhizhi continued to bewitch people: "Eighth Prince, if you want to terminate the cooperation between the Princess and you, I can take the initiative to renew the cooperation. So, you can tell me what you want. I will cooperate with you just like I cooperated with Concubine De and let you get what you want."
When mentioning Concubine De, Tu Zhizhi deliberately softened her voice and looked at the Eighth Prince tenderly, as if she was looking at her own junior, with indulgence deep in her eyes.
"You are not qualified to mention my mother." The Eighth Prince's face suddenly turned ugly. The death of Concubine De had always been like rotten meat in his heart.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, for fear of dreaming about Concubine De. He was worried that Concubine De would force him to stir up trouble, kill his brothers and sisters, and successfully ascend the throne.
But the emperor was cunning, his brothers were not easy to deal with, and his hands were not clean, so how could they confront the emperor directly?
He is now just grateful that he has the opportunity now, so he will seize it firmly and not let it slip away.
Tu Zhizhi, the mastermind who planned everything and knew many secrets, he was not going to let her live.
