The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

Concubine Xi came back just at this moment.

She went to pay the empress a special greeting later in the day, but so far she has not been able to get any news about the eldest prince, so her face is full of sadness at this moment.

Hearing that Xue Yao asked for an audience, Concubine Xi hurried to the flower hall, turned away the attendants, and asked the wet nurse to carry the little prince out as well.

"Have you heard that the eldest prince was grounded by the emperor?" Xue Yao asked impatiently.

Concubine Xi said nervously: "I heard about it last night. I'm going to the Chuxiu Palace to greet the empress and inquire about the news, but the empress refuses to reveal anything. I can only hear from the little eunuch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." A bit of news that I bought. According to the little eunuch: Lord Qin, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, admonished a few days ago that the repair of the Shu road should not be done, but it was later confirmed that the results of the divination were wrong, and he received twenty court sticks. The eldest prince yesterday It was because of Master Qin that he pleaded with the emperor, but was taught a lesson by the emperor and grounded."

"Master Qin?" Xue Yao immediately remembered the name he heard yesterday when he was detained and laundered, Qin Zhaoxuan.

It turned out that he was an official of Qin Tianjian.

"This Mr. Qin must be someone arranged by the eldest prince for us." Concubine Xi figured it out last night: "I heard from the little eunuch that Mr. Qin mentioned a prophecy of 'Heavenly Stone's crime', so it should be the same. I don’t know when the rumors arranged by the eldest prince will be fulfilled. I heard that the auspicious day for the start of construction has already been submitted to the cabinet by the newly appointed supervisor of Qin Tianjian. What should we do? The imperial decree will be issued soon!”

Xue Yao frowned anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression, Concubine Xi became more and more nervous.

"I'm afraid it won't happen..." Xue Yao said in a low voice: "The eldest prince may want Mr. Qin to delay time, wait for the right time, and let the ominous omen come true. Now, the result of Mr. Qin's divination has been overturned. If they are grounded, even if the bad omen spreads to the palace after a period of time, they will not be able to get rid of their crimes."

"Why?" Concubine Xi opened her eyes wide.

"Because the emperor can't make mistakes." Xue Yao looked at Concubine Xi disappointedly: "If the matter is delayed smoothly, and the emperor has the patience to wait until it comes true, this project may be postponed, but now the emperor has determined that Mr. Qin has neglected his duty, and the ominous If the omen is brought up again, the emperor may become furious, characterize the omen as a rumor, and even order a thorough investigation to bring out the mastermind behind it, then we will suffer the eldest prince."

Concubine Xi's eyes went dark!

Xue Yao originally only wanted to save Concubine Xi's mother and son from the first catastrophe, but now not only failed to escape, but also shaken the foundation of the First Prince, it's just self-defeating!

Feeling anxious and blaming himself, Xue Yao asked Concubine Xi in a low voice: "No matter what, the emperor should always take care of the queen, right?"

Concubine Xi anxiously said: "The queen doesn't have the backing of Concubine Tong, how much can the emperor take care of the affection between young couples?"

"The queen doesn't have a backing?" Xue Yao was puzzled, "The emperor was always the prince before he ascended the throne, how could he marry a..."

"You, a native of Daqi, how come you don't know the unwritten rules of the royal family?" Concubine Xi explained in surprise: "I heard that the emperor Taizu of Daqi was worried about his relatives interfering in politics, so the births of the princes and concubines in the past were all ordinary, and there was no one in the family. power."

Xue Yao frowned even deeper.

No wonder the queen in the original book didn't do much trouble, it turned out that her natal family had no backing.

Xue Yao felt even more sorry for the eldest prince.

In the original book, the eldest prince came forward to persuade the Shu road project to stop. Xue Yao thought that the eldest prince had the confidence to do this, so he was brought into the game ahead of time.

Now that I think about it, when the first prince persuaded him to stop in the original book, the emperor himself had already been discouraged by public grievances. At that time, the first prince chose a suitable time for the emperor to step down, which is completely opposite to the current situation.

Dissuading them now is completely against the emperor!

"It's my fault." Xue Yao was filled with self-blame and dizzy for a moment.

He staggered to the coffee table and sat down, and murmured as if no one else was there: "I can't hide from the incident, and I'm the one who got the eldest prince involved. That... how is that Lord Qin's injury? I'm the one who should be punished!"

"Xue Yao?" Concubine Xi was frightened by the child's pale face, and hurried forward to comfort him: "Don't be sad, the little eunuch said that no one should be killed before the project, Master Qin only suffered some skin trauma."

Xue Yao didn't respond, and seemed to have fallen into complete despair and self-blame. He bent his back and covered his face, his small body curled up like a shrimp.

Concubine Xi looked distressed, and stepped forward to comfort her: "Xue Yao, I have always regarded you as a little man, and I can't see you complaining about yourself. There is no lucky person in this world who gets everything he wants. You have tried your best. I see it in my eyes. The result is fate, I don’t allow you to be so depressed! Our mother and son are going to be pulled out and beheaded, and you will be pointed at you to climb up the table and hold us against the sky in the future, you said it yourself. "

Xue Yao remained silent, covering his face.

Concubine Xi sat down beside him helplessly.

"Are you still willing to believe me?" After a long time, Xue Yao slowly raised his head, looked at Concubine Xi with red eyes, and said angrily, "Give me another chance."

Concubine Xi was stunned, she lowered her long eyelashes and looked at the boy silently.

"Of course I would." Concubine Xi said with a wry smile: "If you work hard, you may fail. It's better than waiting to die with both hands. You and the eldest prince are both me and Lao Qi's benefactors. Is it possible that because the plan fails, I will Is it ungrateful to turn against each other?"

Xue Yao stared at Concubine Xi seriously: "I have another method, the method of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, which may make the emperor change his mind, and you have to implement it yourself."

A trace of fear flashed in Concubine Xi's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Say it."

Xue Yao looked at her fixedly: "I heard that every time you have a birthday, there will be a magician who sets up an altar? Which magician did you bring from your own country?"

Concubine Xi was surprised and said: "How do you know this? She is not called a witch, we call them Aunt Po. The birthday ceremony is not a practice, but a blessing ceremony, a tradition in our hometown."

Xue Yao nodded.

That's right, in the original novel, Concubine Xi became the queen mother. Before the birthday banquet, Lu Qian specially found the most famous witch in her hometown to hold a ceremony for her.

Xue Yao remembered this episode in detail, but he just didn't know what the magician was capable of.

"Does Aunt Bo you brought have the ability to divination?" Xue Yao asked.

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Xi seemed to have seen Xue Yao's plan, and said anxiously: "You don't want me to deceive the emperor with Aunt Bo, do you? The emperor doesn't even believe the divination of Qin Tianjian. How could he take it seriously? And... Aunt Po doesn't have any divination skills, if she can really predict the future, how did I end up in this situation?"

Xue Yao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and replied calmly: "Don't lie to the emperor, but convey the true destiny to the emperor. Aunt Po can't predict the future, but I can, just use her mouth to say it."

Concubine Xi stood up in shock: "Don't go to the doctor in a hurry! The crime of deceiving the emperor will cost you your head. You are a half-grown child, how can you predict what is going on?"

Xue Yao said firmly: "On the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, about 18 days after the start of the construction of the Shu Road, the young men who were digging the road in Liangshan will encounter mudslides, seven deaths and 23 injuries. This is the prophecy. Your empress should take this news as Aunt Bo's prophecy as soon as possible. , Tell the emperor that if Qin Tianjian's "Sin of the Heavenly Stone" is fulfilled later, the emperor will definitely be afraid."

Concubine Xi was stunned for a long time before she understood, and stared at Xue Yao with a frown: "How did this happen? Mudslides are natural disasters. Even if the eldest prince has the ability to reach heaven, he can't cause such an accident, let alone death? You want the eldest prince to kill people?" The life of the common people is also life, how can I use their lives to frighten the emperor for my mother and son? Stop messing around, you are tired, just rest in the palace tonight."

"Your Majesty just said that she would trust me." Xue Yao raised her voice and stared at Concubine Xi firmly: "On the day of the Ghost Festival, there will really be a disaster. This is the expert's prediction, but I cannot reveal the identity of the expert. Those people would indeed die as a result.

I originally planned to prevent this from happening before the imperial decree to build the Shu Road was promulgated, but now it seems impossible.

I have no way to save the first batch of people who died. I can only rely on this disaster to stop the loss in time to prevent more people from being killed.

Such a natural disaster happened on the Ghost Festival. It is said that it is an early warning from the heavens, which is much more credible than Qin Tianjian's man-made "Skystone convict", please think twice. "

Concubine Xi was stunned, and she became more and more suspicious that the child was crazy.

What expert can predict a mudslide on a certain mountain road in Bashu?This is simply nonsense!

Xue Yao is also going all out at this moment, if he predicts the future in front of Concubine Xi, he may be regarded as an evil person, and his life will be lost.

But now, things have come to this point, he can only give it a go.

In the original book, the first prince's remonstrance to suspend the construction documents recorded that in the three years from the start of the construction of the Shu Road to the local civil uprising, eleven natural disasters occurred, including mountain torrents and mudslides. There are more than [-] road workers.

It is much more credible to say that this kind of disaster is a warning from heaven than artificial deceit.

Predicting the exact location of the disaster and the number of victims in advance can definitely deter the emperor.

Xue Yao's idea at the beginning was to settle the matter before the start of work. It was impossible for him to plan in advance to let a group of people die and make a fuss about it.

But now he is deeply aware that the emperor really does not cry when he sees the coffin, and it is impossible to fool the past by man-made rumors.

Seeing that the holy intention of cultivating the Shu Road was unstoppable, and the eldest prince was dragged into the water again, Xue Yao could only face the reality. It was impossible to save all the people in distress and Concubine Xi's mother and child unscathed. It is a blessing to stop the Shu road project within a month.

Then, the first real natural disaster can only be used to prevent future disasters, and by the way, it can strengthen the prestige of Qin Tianjian, and restore the emperor's trust for the eldest prince.

After listening to his words, Concubine Ke Xi had the words "Are you crazy?" clearly written on her face, obviously she couldn't believe that he could predict natural disasters.
