Reborn Queen

Lu Yanqi looked at Lu Yuan lying on the bed, the first thing that caught his eyes was the gauze wrapped around Lu Yuan's abdomen and the dazzling red on it, looking at the blood on the gauze, Lu Yanqi's fists clenched tightly , although he had prepared himself before coming here, but seeing it with his own eyes, Lu Yanqi still felt a pain in his heart.

There will be blood oozing through the thick gauze. It is conceivable how serious the injury on the father's body is!

Looking at the situation in front of him, before Lu Yanqi could speak, Lu Yuan had already opened his eyes. Even though he was injured, Lu Yuan's eyes were still very sharp, like a drawn sword, piercing straight into the house After seeing Lu Yanqi standing not far away, Lu Yuan's expression immediately softened, and he smiled at Lu Yanqi:

"Yan Qi?" Although Lu Yanqi still had a disguise on his face, it did not affect Lu Yuan's judgment at all.

"Father!" Lu Yanqi stepped forward two steps quickly, and walked to Lu Yuan's bed, looking at the gauze on Lu Yuan's body, he was a little at a loss.Although he knew before that injuries on the battlefield were inevitable, this was the first time he saw with his own eyes that Lu Yanqi even walked gently, for fear of disturbing Lu Yuan.

When Lu Yuan saw Lu Yanqi's eyes and movements, how could he not understand what he was thinking?Immediately shook his head to Lu Yanqi, reassuring: "Father is fine."

With that said, Lu Yuan sat up from the bed directly under Lu Yanqi's worried eyes, leaned against the bed rail, looked at Lu Yanqi, and finally had a smile in his eyes.

Although An Jingxing repeatedly assured him that Yan Qi would be fine, Lu Yuan couldn't feel relieved when he didn't see Yan Qi. Now that he saw Yan Qi standing in front of him, Lu Yuan also felt relieved.

"General." At this time, An Jingxing also took a step forward and nodded to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan raised his head, looked at An Jingxing who walked to Lu Yanqi's side: "Your Highness."

"The general's injury..." At this point, An Jingxing frowned. He didn't take it seriously when he came here. After all, it was just a play, but seeing Lu Yuan's face now, An Jingxing knew , Lu Yuan was indeed injured, and the faint smell of blood in the room could not deceive anyone.

"It's nothing serious," Lu Yuan said, waving his hands, seeing An Jingxing's frown, he knew what An Jingxing was thinking, and laughed for a moment, "Under the eyes of everyone, Wu Youde is the Emperor's man, and he is the emperor. The play will naturally be a complete set."

About Wu Youde's identity, Lu Yuan knew from the very beginning, firstly, the emperor did not cover it up, and secondly, Wu Youde was also very confident, if An Jingxing asked him to act, if he didn't do so, he might not be able to hide it from outsiders.

Although the two of them spoke vaguely, Lu Yanqi not only knew An Jingxing, but also Lu Yuan. After connecting back and forth, he immediately found something wrong: "What charades are you playing? Did you know beforehand that your father was injured?"

The second half of Lu Yanqi's sentence was naturally addressed to An Jingxing. According to the conversation between Jing Xing and his father just now, I am afraid that this time his father was injured. Not only did Jing Xing know about it, but it was very likely that Jing Xing instructed him. Thinking of this, Lu Yanqi frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was inevitably a little unhappy.

"Actually, His Highness ordered me to do this." Although Lu Yuan has now accepted the status of An Jingxing's "son-in-law", as long as there is a chance, he will still block An Jingxing in front of Lu Yanqi, just like now , who made him take his son away?

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lu Yanqi didn't even think about it. He turned his head and glared at An Jingxing. Even if he knew that An Jingxing must have another purpose for doing this, it still didn't prevent Lu Yanqi from looking at An Jingxing now. A nose is not a nose, and eyes are not eyes.

"I know I'm wrong, because my husband wanted the general to play a show," An Jingxing immediately understood the meaning after seeing Lu Yanqi's eyes, and quickly raised his hand, calling for grievances, but He didn't shirk his responsibility, "But it's true that I didn't think carefully."

At first, An Jingxing only thought that now that Lu Yuan was injured, it would be convenient for him to act in the future, but he forgot that under the watchful eyes of the public, if he wanted to convince everyone, he had to do a fake show, so when he saw the pain in Lu Yuan's abdomen, An Jingxing was only surprised when he was injured, and at this time An Jingxing was also a little guilty. If it wasn't because of his lack of consideration, General Lu would not have been injured.

"Don't blame Your Highness." Seeing that An Jingxing took the mistake on himself, Lu Yuan didn't want to embarrass An Jingxing any more. Besides, the two of them quarreling would not do any good, so he simply waved his hand, "Actually, I also looked serious. , are all skin wounds."

What Lu Yuan said was also true, although his wound looked serious, in fact it didn't hurt any bones.

Hearing this, Lu Yanqi carefully observed Lu Yuan's physical condition, and after confirming it again and again, he was relieved. After being relieved, Lu Yanqi thought of the doubts in his heart:

"What are you guys planning?" In the current situation, even if An Jingxing didn't say anything, Lu Yanqi would have discovered that his father definitely knew about Jing Xing's layout, even if he didn't know everything, but at least part of it. The only one who was kept in the dark was himself!

"Your Highness didn't tell you?" Lu Yuan was a little surprised when he heard Lu Yanqi's words. According to what Lu Yanqi revealed before, An Jingxing had never hidden anything from Yanqi.

"Hmph." Lu Yanqi snorted coldly, and turned his head to one side. Although he didn't answer Lu Yuan's question directly, this performance was already very obvious.

Seeing Lu Yanqi's childish side, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile a little. He looked up at An Jingxing who was sitting next to Lu Yanqi, not surprisingly seeing pampering and indulgence in his eyes.

"I'll tell you now?" An Jingxing rubbed Lu Yanqi's head, speaking flatteringly.

"Let's talk!" Lu Yanqi snorted coldly, with a rather arrogant expression. He had asked Jing Xing about his plan since Heifengzhai, but Jing Xing kept silent until a few days ago. Only then did he let go and tell himself when he reached Xinzhou.

"What does Yan Qi want to know?" An Jingxing raised his eyebrows, and sat next to Lu Yanqi. Now that the room is all his own, it's okay to say it.

"Why did you choose to fake death in the first place?" Lu Yanqi has never thought about this question. You must know that it is easy to pretend to be dead, but it is too difficult to "live" after pretending to be dead.

"Since you lost contact, I started to prepare to go to Tongzhou to find you. At that time, I just wanted to find an excuse not to make my father suspicious, but then I discovered something that made me decide to fake death." Death, An Jingxing himself took a lot of risks, just as Yan Qi thought, it is easy for a person to die, the key is how to survive.

"Found something?" Lu Yanqi raised his eyebrows, what would make An Jingxing think it would be better to fake death?

"I found out at the time that the father didn't seem to want the third brother to inherit the throne." An Jingxing was also surprised when he discovered this problem, but after some inferences, he discovered that the possibility of this matter is very high.

After Lu Yanqi heard this, he tapped his hand. Before Jing Xing feigned death, he found out that An Rui didn't want An Cheng to inherit the throne?

"Why do you think so? Because of An Jingrui?" Lu Yanqi and An Jingxing discussed about An Jingrui many times, but before Lu Yanqi left, they only found out the strangeness of An Jingrui's name , although I made a middle-level guess later, it is just a guess.Based on these alone, how did Jing Xing judge?

Almost all the thoughts in Lu Yanqi's heart were written on his face, An Jingxing laughed a little, "Yes, because of the fourth brother, at first I was suspicious of him because of his name, and then I asked someone to check his history after he left the palace these years. However, I discovered a very interesting problem, that is, every time the fourth brother leaves Beijing, he will definitely go to Tongzhou."

When Lu Yanqi heard this, his fingers paused. If it was because of this, An Jingrui's suspicion was indeed relatively high. After all, they had already discovered the secret of Heifengzhai.

"The young master..." Speaking of Tongzhou, Lu Yanqi frowned. He inevitably thought of the young master An Yu was talking about. At that time, he suspected that it was An Jingrui, but he was never verified.

"It's him." An Jingxing nodded. After An Yu regained his memory, he asked people to check it out. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Lu Yanxiu. According to Lu Yanxiu's reply, the young master in Shuchen's mouth , it should be An Jingrui without a doubt.

"It's the second brother who makes me affirm my thoughts." An Jingxing looked at Lu Yanqi's reaction and continued to speak.

"Second brother?" Lu Yanqi did not expect that the second brother would actually be involved in this matter, "What does this have to do with the second brother?"

"After discovering the doubts about the fourth brother, I went to have a secret talk with the second brother. After all, you know," An Jingxing said, and gave Lu Yanqi a knowing look. The relationship between Lu Yanxiu and An Jingrui The relationship is not a secret among them, "Second brother told me a lot of very interesting things."

"For example?" Lu Yanqi has calmed down after being surprised at the beginning. Lu Yanxi was surprised by Lu Yanxiu's participation, but he also felt that it was expected. The news that An Jingrui was looking for someone in Tongzhou at the beginning, Isn't it the second brother who revealed it to him?

"For example, An Jingrui has a group of very capable people who are comparable to Mo Yu. For example, An Jingrui frequently communicates with courtiers. For example, there is a secret passage in Xiaoyao Palace..." An Jingxing said, Lu Yanqi became more and more Surprised, originally thought that the most difficult person to deal with was An Chengji, but now it seems that this person is probably An Jingrui.

An Jingxing looked at the surprised expression on Lu Yanqi's face, but he didn't stop, and continued to say:

"And the second brother also said that An Jingrui himself said that he will not live in Tongzhou in the future." Prince Chu, if one person is allowed to leave the capital, only the other will be left. It doesn't look good on the face, so they all stayed.But after the new emperor ascends the throne, why can An Jingrui say that he cannot return to Tongzhou?

Lu Yanqi also thought of this, and nodded slightly. The prince does not live in the fief, so there is only one way, and that is to succeed.

"Combined with the imperial concubine's attitude towards An Chengji and An Jingrui, I made a bold decision." Lu Yanqi often said that I don't believe in any coincidences. If there are too many coincidences, then It must not be a coincidence.

With the subtle attitudes of the emperor and the noble concubine, and An Jingrui's duplicity, An Jingxing had every reason to believe that from the very beginning, the emperor's preferred heir was not An Chengji.

"Fake death?" The corner of Lu Yanqi's mouth twitched, and he naturally accepted the following words.

"That's right, because only when I 'die' can I know the true thoughts in my father's heart." An Jingxing nodded.

"What if the emperor Li'an succeeds as the crown prince?" Lu Yanqi looked at An Jingxing, the idea was indeed very bold, if the bet was wrong, it was very likely that all bets would be lost.

When An Jingxing heard Lu Yanqi's question, he smiled and didn't answer Lu Yanqi's question. He naturally thought about this possibility. If An Chengji really succeeds to the throne, then this country will eventually become his own , if this is the case, it may be easier for him.

When Lu Yanqi saw An Jingxing's expression, what else did he not understand?I have to admit that the facts are indeed like this. Compared to An Jingrui, An Chengji is simply a war scum.But Lu Yanqi did not show his thoughts on his face, but raised his eyes and glared at An Jingxing, motioning for him to continue, and An Jingxing didn't play tricks anymore, and continued to say:

"Later, after I 'died', the royal father really did not establish a heir. You know An Chengji's temperament, he is not calm. It is impossible for the royal father not to know this. On the premise of knowing this, not only did he not To give An Chengji reassurance, but to frequently dig up old accounts from the past and make use of them, it can only show that the father does not want to pass the throne to An Chengji."

Lu Yanqi discussed this point with An Jingxing more than once, so he didn't raise any objection. He nodded and signaled An Jingxing to continue:

"However, after many years of building momentum, both the people and the courtiers need a reasonable explanation, and this explanation can only be started from An Chengji." Even the common people know that the emperor likes An Chengji. After An Jingxing died, The emperor does not want Li An to be the heir, there must always be a reasonable reason, since the real reason cannot be revealed, it can only be found again.

If at this time, An Chengji made some unforgivable mistake, then it would be reasonable to lose his crown prince qualification.

"Lu Shuyi?" Lu Yanqi naturally thought of this, and after thinking for a while, he thought of Lu Shuyi. This time, isn't the emperor looking for a reason in Lu Shuyi?But it shouldn't be, according to the rewards of his own people, An Rui's pampering towards Lu Shuyi does not seem to be fake, how could he use Lu Shuyi as a raft?

Sure enough, when An Jingxing heard this, he shook his head: "An Chengji is a person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. My original idea was that he would rebel for the sake of the throne. After all, in the capital, he owns more than half of the soldiers." Ma, and the father is indeed pushing him in this direction, but for some reason, he pointed the finger at Lu Shuyi, this time, I am afraid that the father will go down the donkey."

An Jingxing really didn't know about An Chengji's targeting of Lu Shuyi, and after thinking about it to no avail, he could only be classified as a fool.

Seeking power and usurping the throne?When Lu Yanqi heard this, he frowned, but after a while, his brows relaxed. Although An Chengji's subordinates controlled most of the soldiers and horses in Beijing, these people were almost all given by the emperor. Rui was using An Chengji as a target, so he might have a problem with An Chengji.

The people under him are all his own, even if An Chengji wants to rebel, he probably won't even be able to splash a single wave in front of An Rui.

"Before you left Beijing, you knew that An Rui would make such a plan?" Just now, An Jingxing's tone and expression made Lu Yanqi understand that before An Jingxing cheated to death, he knew that An Rui would force An Cheng to inherit The way of rebellion was to abandon An Chengji, but how did An Jingxing see this?

"That's right, because I also discovered a very interesting phenomenon." An Jingxing glanced at Lu Yanqi, who did not expect that Yan Qi could even see this, "I still remember that after the envoy left Beijing, we did what?"

"Imperial Guards?" Lu Yanqi immediately thought of the Imperial Guards who had been purged at that time, and they put a lot of people in!But what does this have to do with the Janissaries?

"That's right, I found out that the emperor will exchange part of the Imperial Guard Army and the Imperial Forest Army every once in a while." Speaking of this, An Jingxing wanted to laugh out loud, but at least he held back.

exchange?The guards in the capital each perform their own duties, and they will not be transferred easily under normal circumstances. If An Rui does this, he can only have one purpose, and that is to ensure that both the imperial guards and the imperial forest army will obey his orders.

Wait... As soon as Lu Yanqi finished the analysis, he thought of a crucial question. He looked up at An Jingxing, his eyes filled with disbelief. After getting An Jingxing's affirmative answer, Lu Yanqi smiled instantly. bloomed:

An Rui, An Rui, you are shooting yourself in the foot!
