Master of Rebirth

Inside the palace, Fengqi Hall.

The seventh prince, Zhao Jingse, swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and said angrily, "Mother, what kind of evil did Grandpa do? Why did he have anything to do with Wuzhu? He is trying to kill us all." Die!"

"Speak softly..." Although the people in the palace had been sent out a long time ago, Shen Yumei still looked out with lingering fear, and cursed angrily, "I'm afraid others won't hear you!"

"Nowadays, no one in the court knows that Wu Zhu was able to escape from the heavenly and earthly net laid by the emperor back then, and he was able to enjoy himself in the capital like a fish in water. It was all thanks to his grandfather, and I was only two Sentence?" Zhao Jingse sat down on the seat next to Shen Yumei, and said angrily.

Shen Yumei also knew that her mother's pig teammate was holding back, so she had to persuade in a low voice: "You don't need to worry. Fortunately, your uncle found out about this matter, which gave us room for change. Your grandfather has already gone to the temple to plead guilty this morning. Well, the emperor didn't blame us either!"

"Why didn't you vent your anger?" Zhao Jingse said coldly: "I went to greet my father several times today, but in the end I was sent back without even entering the door. In the past, I was able to enter my father's bedroom without hindrance. Which slave would dare to stop? It was Zhao Jingyan, hmph, not only did the emperor keep him by his side these days, but he also handed over Li Mian's affairs to him and Zhengxihou's mansion, and even his uncle couldn't interfere. Zhao Jingyan and Zhao Jing I have been disliked for a long time, but now that the case has fallen into their hands, new and old grudges are added, can we still have us?"

With these few words, Zhao Jingse gritted his teeth and trembled with fear, obviously he was really anxious.

"Things may not be as bad as you think. Your grandfather just took in Li Mian and didn't help him with anything. Didn't your uncle check it out?" Shen Yumei was also panicked at this time, but she still pretended to be calm. Consoling Zhao Jingse.

After hearing this, Zhao Jingse sneered and said, "Mother Concubine, when did you become so naive? When Moji was assassinated, the people from Zhengxihou's Mansion just sent a funeral letter to an official who was bigger than sesame and mung beans." Xin, didn’t do anything, it’s not like we designed it? No matter whether he helped Li Mian or not, it’s a fact that grandpa hid him, Zhao Jingyan managed to catch us, and he didn’t trample us to death!”

Knowing what Zhao Jingse said was right, if she moved to another place and seized such a big authority, she would also kill the prince and Zhengxihou's mansion.Shen Yumei became more and more uneasy. She looked at Zhao Jingse and asked cautiously, "Have you contacted that person recently?"

Although Shen Yumei didn't mention any names, Zhao Jing still knew who she was asking.

Sighing, Zhao Jingse said very dejectedly: "Don't mention it, ever since I found out that Moji was rescued by Zhao Jing, I have never heard from him again."

"How is it possible?" Shen Yumei was a little surprised, "After knowing that Moji was not dead, you not only played down most of the prince's achievements, made your father guard against him many times, but also successfully took the job of welcoming Moji. You handled it so well , I thought it was that person who gave you an idea."

Zhao Jingse said dissatisfiedly: "Mother and Concubine, your son is an adult now, he has brains and means, he can figure out a way for himself when he encounters problems, and he doesn't have to ask others to advise him."

"Really?" Shen Yumei asked in confirmation.

Facing Shen Yumei's disbelieving gaze, Zhao Jingse was both guilty and angry, and paused before saying: "Of course, my little uncle helped me a little, but most of the ideas are still my own."

"Okay, okay, it's the mother concubine who said the wrong thing." Shen Yumei knew how her son was, and she didn't argue with him too much.She tentatively asked, "You really haven't tried to contact him?"

Looking up at Shen Yumei, Zhao Jingse said inexplicably: "Why should I contact him? At the beginning, he told me to send someone to find out about Moji's life and death. Instead of going, I even lied to him. Now that something happened, if I sent it up, wouldn't I be humiliating myself?"

"My son, you can't think like this. Since ancient times, great things have never been small." Shen Yumei hurriedly moved to Zhao Jingse's side, and softly persuaded: "The situation is urgent now, anyway, you won't be able to think of any useful solution for a while, you might as well die The horse is a living horse doctor. Since that man is so capable, why don't we try our luck, maybe he can help us?"

Zhao Jingse sneered, and said, "Mother Concubine, the Seventh Prince of Great Liang, when did you put your hot face on someone's cold ass?"

"But..." Shen Yumei wanted to persuade her again, but Zhao Jingse interrupted her coolly, "Mother and concubine, don't forget that Zhou He in the grandfather's mansion is the traitor who helped Huoer assassinate Mo Ji, and he still obeyed Li Mian directly." We all know that Mo Ji’s assassination was planned by Mr. Wu Zhu, and Li Mian was Wu Zhu. That man knew everything about Mo Ji’s assassination, and he might be with Li Mian. I even felt that he The willingness to help me may be for the sake of Li Mian and grandpa's close relatives. At this critical time, I knew that they might hook up, but I took the initiative to join in, wasn't it because I was afraid that I would not die fast enough?"

After hearing this, Shen Yumei seemed to have thought of something, she broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and her entire face turned pale at a speed that was already visible.

Zhao Jingse didn't notice the strangeness of his mother, and continued: "This time we were all implicated by grandpa, and he thought of a way, and it's not my turn. If you have that spare time to force me to contact an outsider, you might as well think about how to do it." To please my father, to win back the favor. If my father really annoys me because of this, I will definitely not settle with grandpa."

After saying this, Zhao Jingse left without looking back.

Shen Yumei sat there blankly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her body.

Because of Shen Yumei's order, she can't go in and disturb her without a summons.Although Zhao Jingse had already left, the servants of Fengqi Palace still did not dare to enter without authorization.

Half an hour passed, and seeing that there was no movement from her own mother, Yulu, the maid in charge of Fengqi Palace, was a little worried, so she went in quietly.Seeing Shen Yumei sitting in a daze, Yulu said softly: "Mother, it's cold in the night, you'd better go rest on the couch."

Awakened by Yulu's voice, Shen Yumei stared at it like a man-eating ghost.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Yulu felt terrified at the sight of her, thinking that she had trespassed and touched Nilin without authorization, so she quickly knelt down to accept the punishment.

Yulu is an old man brought into the palace by Shen Yumei from Ning'an Bo's Mansion. She has been with her for decades and is very trustworthy.It was also because of her affection and qualifications that she dared to enter inside.

But too many things have happened recently. The prince who has never been favored does not know what kind of good luck he has. there.On the other hand, the Seventh Prince was more unsatisfactory than the other, as if he had lowered his head.

The Seventh Prince was frustrated, and Shen Yumei also became upset, and her temper became cloudy and uncertain.Yulu knelt on the ground, thinking of the few court ladies who had been punished for trivial matters in the past few days, she felt even more uneasy.

Fortunately, Yulu was lucky today, seeing clearly that it was her confidant who came over, Shen Yumei grabbed her and said eagerly: "Tomorrow, you send a letter to the mansion, so that mother must find a way to enter the house in the next few days no matter what." See me in the palace."

"But ma'am..." Seeing that Shen Yumei didn't attack her, Yulu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a difficult way: "It's an urgent time right now, didn't the head of the country and the uncle of the country tell us to stay in the palace honestly, Don't act rashly? If Madam came to see you in the palace and people found out, I don't know what will happen."

"That's why I asked you to find a way." Shen Yumei said anxiously: "No one should know about my mother coming to see me in the palace, not even the father-in-law and the uncle of the country."

Seeing Shen Yumei's insistence, although Yulu felt it was wrong, she could only obey.

To Shen Yumei's surprise, one day later, Mrs. Ning Anbo's Mrs. Qin did not sneak into the palace, but generously handed over a sign and came to see her in an open and honest manner.

Although Qin shi has given birth to three children and is already the age of the old lady Xu, she still has a charm and does not look old at all. It can be seen how shocking he was when he was young. No wonder he is so fascinated by Ning Anbo. Also gave birth to two beautiful daughters.

Looking at her mother who was still bright and charming, Shen Yumei's mood was very complicated.She hasn't seen Qin Shi for a long time. It should be said that for some reason, since entering the palace, she has been deliberately avoiding seeing Qin Shi.

"Greetings to the empress." With the support of the maid, Qin gave a big salute to Shen Yumei.

"Mother, you don't need to be too polite." Signaling Yulu to send everyone else out, Shen Yumei helped Qin Shi up, and said slightly reproachfully: "There are no outsiders in the temple, so my family members don't have to be so polite."

"Courtesy cannot be discarded." Qin said neither humble nor overbearing: "Before I left, your father specifically told me that the palace is no better than the outside, and you can't make it difficult for you to talk about it."

Hearing the word "Father", Shen Yumei paused her hands, and then calmly helped Qin Shi to sit down, "Didn't my daughter tell you, don't let anyone know about your coming."

"I know, but he said, since something has happened in the mansion, all eyes must be on us. You must have something important to say if you are in a hurry to see me. Instead of being caught in a secretive manner, you should It's better to come into the palace in a fair manner." Qin said with lowered eyes.

With a chuckle, Shen Yumei's eyes darkened, "You really listen to him for everything."

As if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Shen Yumei's words, Qin still said unhurriedly: "His words are always right, and he is wholeheartedly for your own good. Of course I listen to him."

Tired of arguing with Qin Shi, Shen Yumei said: "Mother, my daughter invited you here today because I have something to ask."

"I know you want to ask Li Mian." Qin shi lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I don't know much about Li Mian, so it's useless if you ask me."

The most disgusting thing about Qin's reluctance is that Shen Yumei was angry, and her voice became a little colder, "Mother, I think you have been stunned by that man, and you have forgotten who is your real child." Daughter. Tell me honestly, who is he? If you don’t tell me, I will go to the emperor and tell all the things that happened back then. Whether we live or die depends on the emperor’s decision, so that we don’t have to worry about how we die. Know."

"Your Majesty, it's been so many years, what's the point of you worrying about it now?" Qin's face finally showed some fluctuations, she looked up at Shen Yumei, and begged bitterly: "You tell me what happened back then , it’s not good for you and Seer! Serre is such a good child, do you have the heart to ruin him? "

Seeing that the mother cared most about that person, and that she and her son were just her shields to protect that person, Shen Yumei finally couldn't suppress her anger, she said sharply: "What do I mean? I would like to ask him what he means Mother, look at what he has done to us. Wuzhu is a treasonous sinner. He has been hated by the emperor for so many years. Why is it Li Mian? Why did Zhou He, the steward of our mansion, assassinate Mo Jike? Khan? Do you know that hiding Wuzhu alone is enough to make our whole family die countless times."

"I don't know who Wu Zhu is, and I don't know what crime Li Mian has committed. I only know that if there was no him back then, our mother and I would have been reduced to what extent we would have been reduced to. We would never have the glory and wealth we have now." Qin Shi has been used to aloof from the world all his life, even if he argues with reason, his voice is soft.

Shen Yumei punched the cotton, and she felt even more annoyed, so she heard Qin continue: "Mother, I know you are uncomfortable, and I know you hate me for being sorry for your father, but I really had no other way back then."

After hearing this, Shen Yumei sneered, "Why did mother say such aggrieved things, I'm afraid you were very happy about what happened back then."

"I admit that I did have selfish intentions at the beginning, but I didn't do it all for myself, but also for you." Qin sobbed for a while, and continued: "It turns out that my choice is right. Over the years, he has done everything for me and your sisters." Don’t you do less? If it wasn’t for him, we would have slept on the streets long ago. You wouldn’t have entered the palace to give birth to a prince, and you would have become a glorious imperial concubine, and your sister wouldn’t have become Mrs. Dingbeihou. No matter what Whatever requests you have, he will try his best to satisfy you, try his best to comply with your wishes, even Shen Rongchang will not do better than him, you should not doubt him."

Qin's words made sense, and Shen Yumei knew that she couldn't get on with her, so she could only give up the verbal lawsuit and said directly: "Okay, since you don't know anything, you won't tell me anything. Then let me If he comes, I'll ask him directly."

"He's already here, just waiting outside." As if she knew what Shen Yumei would say, Qin wiped her face with a handkerchief, and said calmly.

Shen Yumei had just said that, but she didn't expect that someone would follow directly, and she was shocked in her heart.

Qin said calmly: "Right now everyone's eyes are on me, and no one will pay attention to the maid I bring. Since you have something to ask him, I will let him in."

As soon as the words fell, Qin left Shen Yumei who was dumbfounded, and left.

Soon, a maid walked in with a low eyebrow and saluted Shen Yumei.

"Are you...?" Looking at the unremarkable maid in front of her, Shen Yumei couldn't help but tentatively asked with difficulty seeing that person's appearance from her face.

Smiling lightly, the servant girl opened her mouth, but it was a man's voice, "This is called disguise technique, it took me a lot of effort to dress up like this."

"Even if the face can be changed, what about the height?" Shen Yumei said in disbelief.

The man said: "In ancient times, there was a kung fu called shrunken bone, which can make the body smaller. It is a unique skill created by grave robbers who dig graves. It can help them freely enter and exit various ancient tombs. Both my parents died when I was young. , I’ve done anything to earn a living. Before I entered your mother’s house as a long-term worker, I stayed in a tomb gang for a while and learned how to shrink my bones. Although I didn’t practice well, I changed my height slightly. It’s okay to be shorter. But when the lady saw me, she shouldn’t be discussing the art of disguise and bone shrinkage.”

"You're right, I came to you to hear the truth." Shocked by this man's superb tricks of falsehood, Shen Yumei became even more curious about his mysterious past, and she couldn't help but sternly said: "Who the hell are you?"

The man chuckled and said, "Didn't the empress already guess it? You called your mother here without telling me, didn't you just want to confirm it?"

"Although I guessed something, I still can't believe it. I want to hear it from you." Shen Yumei said, "Is Li Mian Mr. Wuzhu?"

The man shook his head, "Of course not."

"Since it's not Li Mian, who is it?" Shen Yumei felt her whole body trembling, and she couldn't even breathe, "I can't...it's you!"

The man smiled, acquiescing to her words.

"Oh my god!" Shen Yumei only felt a thunderbolt strike her head, smashing her to pieces.She said with great annoyance: "I should have thought of it back then, otherwise I wouldn't..."

"What won't happen? Won't you promise your mother to let me enter Ning'an Bo's mansion?" The man interrupted Shen Yumei, sneered and said: "Madam, even if you guess that I am Wuzhu, so what? Back then you already There is no way out, without me, you have nothing. This is a win-win way, which is beneficial to both of you and me. Long before I entered the Ning'anbo Mansion, we were destined to sit in the same boat. "

Although she felt cheated, what that person said was the truth. Even though Shen Yumei was so angry, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow her blood, "Since you planned the matter in southern Yunnan, you can instigate Seer Are you also the mysterious person who blamed Moji's assassination on Zhengxihou Mansion?"

"That's right." The man nodded, and readily admitted, "That was supposed to be a perfect plan, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness has been wary of me for a long time and pretended to be clever, so he missed a big deal. Otherwise, according to my plan Planning, we can definitely bring down the crown prince and Zhengxihou's mansion successfully."

It has to be said that the original planning was done step by step, and the design was seamless, and Shen Yumei couldn't find any faults.It's a pity that good fortune tricks people, and one hundred secrets are one sparse.No one thought that Moji would escape from death under such circumstances, which made the whole plan fall short, and instead made wedding clothes for the prince.

Thinking of this, Shen Yumei's chest felt suffocated and ached. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are the one hiding your head and showing your tail. How can you blame Se'er? If you had revealed your identity honestly, Se'er would not have suspected you."

"My lady, I have a special status. If one less person knows about it, I will be less dangerous." The man said slowly, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is still young, and he is not sophisticated enough to be calm when things happen. If my identity is accidentally revealed If it is leaked out, the consequences will be disastrous. I have no other way but to approach him in this way."

Shen Yumei became even more angry, "Even if you don't want Se'er to know your identity, you can still tell me the plan! If I come forward, he will naturally do things wholeheartedly and will not have any worries."

"Tell you?" The man asked with a sneer: "Collusion with foreign enemies is a serious crime. You have always had a lot of grudges against me. Ever since you entered the palace, you have even avoided seeing your mother. If you knew about my plan, would you agree? "

Shen Yumei was at a loss for words for a while, that person was right, the reason why she agreed to let Zhao Jingse participate in this matter was because she thought that the incident in southern Yunnan was an accident.Zhengxihou's Mansion will be involved, maybe it's their bad luck, or maybe it's someone's design.But in any case, it doesn't have much to do with them.Zhao Jingse just followed the trend and picked up a leak.

If she knew that this person had planned this matter from beginning to end, and that although her son had benefited, he had taken a great risk, she would definitely not be willing to let him take the risk.After all, there are thousands of ways to win the throne, and there is no need to choose the most dangerous one.

"Are you blaming me?" Shen Yumei sternly said, "Collaborating with foreign enemies is a serious crime, if I knew you were so shy, I..."

"I harmed him?" The man slightly raised his voice, and asked back: "Your Majesty, who wants to bring down the crown prince? And who wants His Royal Highness to inherit the throne? I'm just helping you achieve your wish as soon as possible. Is it wrong?"

Shen Yumei was blocked tightly, and she waited for a long time before she said: "Then you can't..."

"Can't what? Can't you treason against the country?" The man sneered and said: "Madam, I am a sinner of treason, what else can I not dare to do? If the crown prince does not fall, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince will never be able to become the crown prince. Zhengxihou will not die , they will keep chasing me. If one day I am exposed, you will all have to be buried with me. I want to get rid of them as soon as possible, just to protect us."

Everything the man said made sense, Shen Yumei didn't know how to refute it, she just felt extremely powerless.She waved her hand and said, "Since things have come to this point, it's useless to talk about the past. I won't talk to you about anything else, I just ask you what to do now? Although you used Li Mian as a scapegoat, Zhengxihou's mansion After all, I am not a vegetarian. Nowadays, there are three points of crime for missing a shadow, not to mention you are the culprit. As long as the emperor and Zhengxihou's mansion are still suspicious of Ning'anbo's mansion, sooner or later they will reveal their flaws. What are you going to do by then? manage?"

"I came to the palace this time to discuss this matter with you." The man walked up to Shen Yumei and said a few words in a low voice.

After hearing only a few words, Shen Yumei was frightened, she shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, we haven't reached that point yet."

"Your Majesty, you are deceiving yourself and others." The man sat down beside Shen Yumei, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said: "You have been with me for so many years, and I know the emperor's temper. He is very suspicious. If we become suspicious, our future life will only become more and more difficult. For the present plan, we can only make a sudden attack when he is not too wary of us, and there is a high degree of confidence that we will succeed."

"So you think...?" Shen Yumei's heart was already turbulent, but she still pretended to be calm.

The man made a gesture of wiping his neck, "At that time, as long as the crime of regicide is pushed on the crown prince and Zheng Xihou, the seventh prince will ascend the throne and become emperor, and everything will be settled."

"You're crazy, the regicide is to kill the nine clans!" Shen Yumei finally collapsed, she exclaimed: "The palace is heavily guarded, after the Five Kings Rebellion, the servants around the emperor are all carefully selected, how do you Could it be successful? Besides, why did the crown prince and Zheng Xihou want to kill the king? Are you a fool to be a minister of the Manchu Dynasty?"

The man chuckled, but the words in his mouth were even more terrifying, "Of course I didn't want to assassinate, but forced the palace openly. Don't forget, my lady, although the palace is heavily guarded, the Habayashi guards guarding the palace are commanded by Yingjie." Yes. As long as we control the Habayashi Guard, it is equivalent to controlling half of the imperial city. At that time, we don’t have to kill the emperor. As long as we kill the crown prince and other princes, the throne can only be inherited by His Highness the Seventh Prince. Give it up to outsiders? Isn’t that the case with Emperor Taizong’s Xuanwu Gate mutiny? As long as the emperor is forced to issue an imperial decree, His Highness the Seventh Prince will succeed to the throne, and no one will say anything. Don’t worry, Madam, I have planned this matter for a long time No mistakes, just need your cooperation. Even if I have a second heart for you and His Highness the Seventh Prince, would I still take Yingjie's life as a joke?"

"So, Yingjie also agreed?" Shen Yumei felt a chill in her heart.

The man said proudly: "Yingjie is a smart person, and he knows how to do it is more beneficial to us. He also wholeheartedly hopes that His Highness the Seventh Highness can inherit the great rule as soon as possible, and then rule the world and create an eternal foundation."

The four words of King's Landing made Shen Yumei ready to move, and she almost agreed, but the panic in her bones prompted her to murmur: "No... no... I can't do this, if it fails, Se'er will be finished... I can't put Serre at risk."

"Right now we have been driven to a dead end. If we don't do this, there will be a dead end." Seeing that Shen Yumei was still biting and refusing to let go, the person finally lost her patience, "Your Majesty, don't forget that the matter in southern Yunnan is also the same for His Highness the Seventh Highness." Participated. In case my identity is exposed, it is not an exaggeration to say that he colluded with me in order to bring down the prince."

"It was you who were driven to a dead end, not us." Shen Yumei only felt that her voice was trembling, "Ser is the emperor's most beloved son, even if he did something wrong, he was confused by you and was confused for a while. The emperor will not To embarrass us, even if he knew what happened back then, he would not be so cruel to execute his own flesh and blood."

The man looked at Shen Yumei as if he was reading a joke and said, "Your Majesty, there has been no father and son in the Tian Family since ancient times. The reason why the Emperor favors you and His Highness the Seventh Prince is because you did not threaten him. I lied to him, I don't know if I will treat you like before. Take a step back and say, even if the emperor wants to save you and the Seventh Highness for his past kindness, he will never pass the throne to the Seventh Highness. No Once the emperor passes away, do you think Zhao Jingyan can accommodate His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness? These years, you have been striving to be the first in everything, and you are always at the top of the palace. Can the empress accept you? Who was the fifth prince back then? Don't you know what's going on?"

"That's different. The fifth prince committed suicide back then. If he hadn't colluded with the Gao family to rebel and had the last emperor's will, he would still be able to live well." Shen Yumei's face was already pale without a trace of blood. The words in his mouth became thinner and thinner, "As long as the emperor also gives Se'er a will, he will be safe, definitely!"

Seeing her lack of confidence, the man smiled and said: "Not to mention whether the emperor will give this will, even if you give it, will it be safe? The empress has been with you for many years, so she naturally understands that the side of the couch is not allowed to sleep soundly." The reason. The former emperor’s last decree looks like a gold medal for avoiding death, but it is actually a life-threatening talisman. It is because of it that the emperor feels like a stick in his throat. Without it, the fifth prince may live a few more days. I have been following By the side of the Fifth Prince, he knows the most clearly. If it wasn’t for the emperor’s hard work and refusing to give him any way to survive, how could the Fifth Prince and the Gao family take such risks?”

"But...but..." Shen Yumei still didn't dare to make a decision.

The man didn't continue to press, but said: "I got the news that Zhao Rui has been eyeing Zhou He for a long time, and has already suspected that he went to Ning'an Bo's mansion, and also found out the old doctor who treated Shen Rongchang back then. If it wasn't for me Make a decisive decision and sell a loophole to Zhou Ying, let him find out the so-called truth in front of the Zhengxihou Mansion, I am afraid that Li Mian can't get away with it. Unfortunately, Li Mian is just a delaying tactic, and the delay will not last long. Our time is limited , I can't bear to waste it."

Shen Yumei burst into tears, her lips were white and she did not speak.

The man stood up and said leisurely: "Is it to sit and wait for death, praying for a possible chance to survive, and then stepping on the blood of Yingjie and his mother to linger under the hands of the queen and Zhao Jingyan, and spend the rest of his life humbly. Or fight hard and reach the sky in one step, The queen and the prince are all trampled under their feet. One life, one death, one honor and one disgrace, it's all in the mind of the empress."
