a pillow in autumn

Chapter 153 Conspiracy

Ren Zhou Muyu was thinking about it, but he didn't expect that Zhou Mubai's car would drive into Ruijing with a lot of noise and grandeur.

According to Zhou Muyu's plan, since Zhou Mubai had taken precautions, he would try every means to keep Chen Cang in the dark, so he dispersed all his subordinates, and it was best to kill her without anyone noticing, and then declare to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty Prince Rui intends to seek rebellion, he intends to force the palace under the pretext of being ill, but he has now been executed.

After all those blocking the way were removed, he supported the prince to ascend the throne, and made great contributions to the court.The young emperor was young and cowardly, one year later his confidantes would lead civil and military officials to add a yellow robe to him. For the sake of the country and the people, he had no choice but to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and he has left a good name through the ages.

This is a flawless plan. He holds the emperor's life and death in his hands, as well as the life of the prince and queen mother!

But now Guo Mingxi came to tell him that Prince Rui and Concubine Rui had already arrived in Ruijing, they didn't know when they diverted to the waterway, they killed him by surprise without making a sound.

Not only that, the eldest princess Zhou Muge even went to the city gate to meet Prince Rui in person.

The eldest princess and Prince Rui met? !Why?She and the emperor clearly didn't say a few words in the bedroom that day, did she see anything?Is there any bargaining chip in her hand that he doesn't know about?

Zhou Muyu stomped around in the imperial study, the more he thought about it, the more flustered he became.I don't know if the earth dragon was burning too hot, a string of beads of sweat secreted from his forehead, hanging on his oily face, shining brightly.

It was getting dark early in the winter night, and the little servant of the Salary Department came in to hold the lamp, greeted Prince Wen, and the servant used a long needle to pick up the wick to light the candle.

Red candles the size of a child's arm were burning high and low on the tree of lights. When the door curtain was lowered, a section of the candle flame swayed in the breeze, making a small "pop" sound, and Zhou Muyu's whole body trembled. shake!

How can we sit still and wait for death!

With a gloomy face, he stared at the splendid mountain and river screen for a long time, when suddenly his eyebrows moved, Yuxi!

As long as he gets the jade seal and draws up an imperial decree, why would Prince Rui be afraid?What is the eldest princess afraid of!

There was light in his eyes, he raised the curtain of the imperial study room, and walked quickly towards the emperor's bedroom.

Zhou Mubai did not expect that Zhou Muge would come to the city gate to meet her.

She still doesn't know what happened in the palace, but she has some inexplicable premonition in her heart.Xu Shi has been tempered in the military for many years, and when he is locked in the enemy's heavy dilemma, there is always an intuition that the rain is about to come in the details.

"Sister Huang! Why are you here?! Are you Tete here to pick us up?" Zhou Mubai smiled, jumped out of the carriage and took two steps, and came to Muge. She looked carefully and frowned slightly. "Miss Huang has lost a lot."

Zhou Muge stood in front of his car, holding a small heater in his hand, and smiled faintly, "I heard that you and the concubine are going back to Beijing, so it's almost time to arrive. I just happened to pass by here today, so I was wondering if I would go back to Beijing." I will meet you. Sure enough, I met you. Go, first go to Fuyanju to welcome you and Xianqian." She said, and slowly glanced at her side, very casually.

But Zhou Mubai understood.She laughed loudly: "Yesterday, I told Xianqian that there is a red silk pancake in the imperial sister's princess mansion, which is even better than the imperial dining room in the palace. It was pointed from the palace to the princess's mansion. It is said that the red silk pancakes came out of the palace to give a banquet to the west of Enrongyu Hall, so it must be in the imperial sister's mansion." She winked and said mischievously: "Slim Xun Nian went back to Beijing for half a day and went to the mansion to bother her, so she didn't expect that Huang Jie would come and post a post right now."

Mu Ge also laughed: "You are the only one who is greedy. It has been two years since Fan opened the mansion, and when he returned to Beijing, he only wanted to eat snacks."

The accompanying girls all covered their mouths and laughed, Mu Bai smiled and stretched out his hand, let Mu Ge rest on her hand, and stepped on the up and downs to get into the car.

She turned around, leaned on the door of her car, and casually looked behind her when boarding the car, only to see a few people in the teahouse immediately bow their heads.She sneered in her heart, opened the door, and got into the car.

Shen Xianxun was wrapped in a large cloak with a white fox fur collar, revealing only a palm-sized face.

"Princess Muge is outside? Why don't you let me get out of the car and meet her?"

It was too cold, Xian Xun's cheeks were slightly red from the cold, seeing Mu Bai got into the car, consciously or unconsciously, she got closer.

Mu Bai took the small incense burner she handed over, put one arm around her waist, and said coldly, "We are being followed."

"Us? In this city gate?"

"I'm afraid spies have been planted everywhere. Miss Huang is here to pick us up, and there are eyeliners outside. Something big must have happened in the palace."

"..." Xian Xun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is it the emperor?"

Mu Bai shook his head, "Brother Huang really wants to take care of me, so there is no need to go to such trouble. Besides, Brother Huang is an upright person, whoever is used to avoid others, repeating it is also a conspiracy."

Then who is using conspiracy?

In the Hongchi of Fuyanju, the autumn lotus has long since decayed, the water in the pond is rippling, and the dark blue residual lotus is reflected in the pond, leaving a cool fragrance in the air.

When Prince Rui's car drove into the Yimen of Princess Mansion, Zhou Muge welcomed them into Xinuange personally.

The mansion is spacious, Prince Rui and his party are already tired from the long journey, so the eldest princess ordered people to invite Princess Rui's maids to the private room for tea.

After serving the tea, Muge's personal maid bowed out of Linghuamen, leaving only three of them in the warm pavilion.

"Sister Huang." Looking at this posture, Mu Bai didn't understand anything, she hurried to Mu Ge and asked, "Did something happen in the palace? Your mansion..."

"It's only been a short time since I came back from Shangshan Kingdom. This princess mansion has probably been bribed long ago. I don't know how many stakes have been buried inside and out. Something happened in the palace... His Majesty was put under house arrest by Zhou Muyu in the bedroom. "

"What??!" Zhou Mubai was taken aback, turned his head to look at Shen Xianxun beside him, and saw the same astonished expression on her face.

Zhou Muyu was not outstanding since he was a child, riding and archery, reciting books, and six arts are all mediocre.When they were with the princes and princesses, they mostly sat quietly on the sidelines.

Such a cowardly and incompetent fifth prince would actually put the emperor under house arrest?

"What...what happened?" Zhou Mubai frowned, his voice difficult.

Mu Ge shook her head, looked left and right, and made sure that the doors and windows were closed. She raised her hand and took off a hairpin from her long hair like a waterfall.

The hairpin is made of pure gold, and there is a golden phoenix spreading its wings on the branch. Mu Ge squeezed the hairpin with both hands, twisted it cleverly, and the phoenix fell from the golden branch, revealing a rolled up thing in the hollow.

She took it out and handed it to Mubai.

It was a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing, and on the silk handkerchief were written a few lines of teeny boy, the handwriting was a little messy, but it could still be seen that it was written by Zhou Muchen's imperial pen.On this manuscript, a vermilion jade seal was stamped.

Mu Bai took the silk, and read it under the lamp, looking at a line, he was startled, and when he saw the end, he was stunned.

Xian Xun was standing beside her, and Mu Ge didn't shy away from her, so she and Mu Bai naturally read the handwriting together, and the first few lines were impressively written:

King Zhaorui immediately returned to King Jingqin, solidified the country, and sided with the Qing emperor!If anything happens to me...

There are also a few lines of small characters below, the writing is extremely simple, which shows the urgency of the form.

"Mubai." Xianyi settled down, pulled Mubai's sleeve, tried to steady his trembling voice and said: "For the current plan, we need to make a decisive decision."

Zhou Mubai gritted his teeth and calmed down, nodded and said: "The princess is very right. The lonely king will enter the palace now." Looking at Mu Ge again, he said: "Sister Huang, you and Xian Xun stay in the princess mansion, and I will leave half of the guards... "

"No!"

Before she finished speaking, both Zhou Muge and Shen Xianxun categorically refuted.

Mu Ge said: "You have just returned to Beijing, and most of the courtiers don't know about your return. I will enter the palace with you, just in case."

Xian Xun also said: "Your Majesty is under house arrest, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince must also be in danger. You and the Royal Sister went to the bedroom, and I took people to Jinyu Palace, and said that I would pay my respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong. I have nothing to do with the government , I think they will not be too defensive."

Mu Bai pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! Disputes tonight are family affairs and state affairs. No matter what the situation in the palace is, the three of you, we will advance and retreat together!"

In the emperor's bedroom, the lights were brighter than usual. Zhou Muyu stood in front of the dragon couch, condescendingly examining the almost emaciated emperor under the brocade quilt.

Today his complexion is better than the previous two days.

Zhou Muyu thought, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, that's fine.

"I know you are awake. For more than a month, the lonely king has given me enough patience. I might as well tell you that the government affairs, the lonely king is dealing with it every day. If you are not here, or if you die, the lonely king will also manage the country well. The lonely king will be a good emperor. After all, this is also the country left by the father." He sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on the brocade quilt, "The lonely king will ask you one last time, where is Yuxi?"

Zhou Muchen's eyes were closed in the Jin quilt, and he didn't know if he heard it.

Zhou Muyu stared at him for a moment, then raised his voice, "Guo Mingxi! Go and invite His Royal Highness!"

Guo Mingxi, who was guarding outside, responded, and the footsteps ran away.Zhou Muyu lowered his body, almost approaching the emperor's face, and said in a dark voice: "Your only son is about to die in front of you. You can think clearly, is the jade seal important? Or the crown prince? If he dies, I will The same is the son left by the father, and I am the sole heir to the throne!"

Zhou Muchen finally opened his eyes.There was some emptiness in the eyes.It seems to be looking at Zhou Muyu, but it seems that he can't see him.

He blinked tiredly, and said in a difficult voice, "Yuxi, I can give it to you."

"Really?" Zhou Muyu's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Where is it?"

Zhou Muchen's voice was very low, as if he had run out of oil and had no energy left.He coughed for a while before slowly saying: "You said you would keep the prince well and let him be a prince of peace."

"Naturally. I sent him away from the capital to avoid criticism from the courtiers. Of course, this requires him not to interfere with my affairs. So you have to tell him later that you voluntarily gave up the throne to me." Zhou Muyu patiently After finishing speaking, he forced to ask again: "Where is Yuxi?"

Zhou Muchen looked at the intricate embroidered patterns on the dragon couch, and said softly: "I still want to know how the Crown Princess died back then?" He turned his head and looked into Zhou Muyu's eyes, "Prince Princess, really Did you step into the water and die because you were sad and disappointed with me? You must listen to the truth."
