Chapter 1509 Liquidation
"Prince An may have noticed the abnormality. Zuo may not have figured out the situation yet, so he is deliberately testing me." Qin Zhao felt very good when he thought that Xiao Ce might have returned to Beijing.
She was anxious these days, waiting for Xiao Ce to return safely.
When Zuo Zhaorong passed by Xiao Yi on that side, she wanted to know if Xiao Yi had anything to say to her, but Xiao Yi didn't look at her, as if she was nothing.
She didn't dare to stay too long and walked away quickly.
After returning to Xianfu Palace, Zuo Zhaorong immediately ordered: "Red line, contact Hu immediately to find out what happened."
Hongxian knew that the situation was urgent and started to deal with it.
Zuo Zhaorong waited anxiously, and she didn't know how long it took. Hongxian hurriedly came to her and whispered to her: "I heard that the emperor has returned to Beijing."
Although Zuo Zhaorong had been mentally prepared, he was still frightened at this time: "Are you sure?"
"It's very possible that it's true. His Royal Highness Prince An lost his composure because he received this news. Empress Zhaorong needs to make plans early." Hongxian said sternly.
As long as the emperor returns to the palace safely, everyone in Prince An's Mansion must be liquidated. There are so many people walking around Prince An's Mansion during this period, and if anyone lets go, the matter will become serious.
A hole may not come from a hole.
If Xiao Ce is back but hasn't shown up yet, what the picture shows is so chilling.
"How is this possible? We can't fail." Zuo Zhaorong still didn't want to believe it.
"Yeah, it's obviously such a comprehensive plan, how could it fail?" Hongxian also found it incredible.
Even that time in the western suburbs paddock, they were successful. But that time they just did experiments and wanted to know how effective the medicine was.
Facts have proved that the medicine was very effective and made people unconscious.
It was precisely because of their first success that they felt they had a chance to win this time.
Zuo Zhaorong was pacing back and forth in the room. She suddenly grabbed Hongxian's hand, her eyes red: "What will be the consequences if we fail?"
"Empress Zhaorong still has a chance to escape unscathed, as long as His Highness Prince An does not confess Empress Zhaorong, but Prince An's Mansion..."
Red Line can’t go on.
She knew how much her master liked His Highness Prince An, but if the day of reckoning came, she still had to draw boundaries in order to save her life.
Zuo Zhaorong's heart, which had been panicked just now, suddenly calmed down.
She suddenly thought, if Xiao Yi's death came, would she be willing to accompany Xiao Yi to death?
There is no doubt that she is willing, and she does not even need to hesitate to give this answer.
Yes, she would accompany Xiao Yi while he was alive. If Xiao Yi died tomorrow, she would also be willing to accompany him.
What about him?
He has so many women, but he can never get the one he loves most.
"I'm just unwilling." Zuo Zhaorong sighed softly.
It is obvious that the person she likes is as good as Xiao Ce. If he were to rule the country and become an emperor, he would be able to govern Daqi very well.
It's just a matter of bad luck. If Xiao Yi hadn't been a little less unlucky than Xiao Ce, the throne would have been his.
"I think that Empress Zhaorong should make more plans for herself. His Royal Highness Prince An only has the Queen in his heart, and she is not worthy of Empress Zhaorong's wholeheartedness." Hongxian said hoarsely.
Zuo Zhaorong shook his head: "No, Xiao Yi has always been my hope for moving forward. Without him, my life would be meaningless. I have survived these years with this belief."
She smiled bitterly, but felt that sometimes people have to accept their fate.
In the past, she always felt that Qin Zhao's fate was better than hers, but she was not jealous. It wasn't until one day that she discovered that Xiao Yi was also infatuated with Qin Zhao, and then she deeply felt the unfairness of fate.
"But you also have to plan for yourself. If the emperor really comes back..." Red Line gradually became silent.
Zuo Zhaorong's eyes were red: "Do you also think that the emperor has returned?"
Why does she have the same intuition?
Obviously before today, they were so happy, and she had imagined that when Xiao Yi became king, she would become his favorite concubine.
She even wanted to have children for Xiao Yi.
The reason why Xiao Yi has no heirs is because all the beauties he slept with drank the Bizi Decoction. This is all because Xiao Yi did not dare to have children of his own out of consideration for Xiao Ce.
"Your Highness is still so young, and he doesn't even have an heir." Zuo Zhaorong's eyes were full of tears, and he was so sad that he couldn't remember.
Hongxian took a deep breath and whispered: "Empress Zhaorong, don't worry, everything is not settled yet. Maybe the news is wrong, I will go and inquire again."
After saying that, she hurried away.
Zuo Zhaorong sat in his original position, as if petrified.
From this moment on, it is necessary to think of countermeasures.
Maybe she should discuss it with Xiao Yi and persuade him to leave Kyoto first to avoid the limelight. As long as she survives, she will still have the opportunity to make plans in the future.
But Xiao Yi stayed in Kunning Palace, and there were so many guards there. How could she have a few words with Xiao Yi alone?
She hurriedly called Hongsi to her side and asked her to go to Kunning Palace to find someone to send a message to Xiao Yi.
Hongxian shook her head after hearing this: "It is not appropriate for Empress Zhaorong to have contact with His Highness Prince An now, otherwise Empress Zhaorong's identity will be easily exposed. At this time, Empress Zhaorong must protect herself, otherwise no one will save His Highness Prince An in the future.
."
Zuo Zhaorong was stunned, and suddenly felt that Hongsi's words made sense.
Before she reaches the end of her rope, she can't let herself get into trouble.
Xiao Ceren hasn't come back yet, what does she have to be afraid of?
If it was just a false alarm, wouldn’t it mean that you were scaring yourself?
The red line went out for a longer time this time and didn't come back until about evening.
When Zuo Zhaorong saw Hongxian's expression, he knew things were not optimistic.
"Tell me, it couldn't be worse than this." Zuo Zhaorong said hoarsely.
"The imperial palace and Kyoto are under martial law, but there is not much difference on the surface. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor did come back, but he didn't show up for some reason. And I don't know if he was in the imperial palace..." Hongxian's voice gradually faded away.
If Xiao Ce returns to the palace but is not in a hurry to show up, there can only be one reason, and that is to wait for Xiao Yi to reveal more clues.
What happened this time is actually traceable.
Xiao Ce suddenly pretended to be ill in the middle of the first lunar month, and it was not until the second day of the second lunar month that the dragon raised his head that everyone knew that Xiao Ce had gone to the battlefield.
It was said that he was on the expedition in person, but in fact he did not actually show up, and his whereabouts remain a mystery.
But the battle between Da Yuezhi and Da Qi was won so cleanly and neatly, and they were undoubtedly well prepared.
This is one of Xiao Ce's plans.
As for the second plan, the target is undoubtedly Xiao Yi.
Xiao Ce must have discovered Xiao Yi's ambition early on, and leaving the capital was to create an opportunity for Xiao Yi to take action.
They planned to poison Xiao Ce, but Xiao Ce was safe and sound, which only shows that Xiao Ce had already noticed.
Xiao Ce is back, their plan to poison Xiao Ce failed, and then they will taste the consequences.
