Chapter 263: Cooperating with the Queen
The queen looked at Liu Yunxiang in front of her. However, a little palace maid dared to say shamelessly that she cooperated with her, the lord of the harem. She should have mocked her, but she thought that since this woman entered the palace, Jin You, who had always been in power, was repeatedly frustrated and even she fell into trouble.
Perhaps, she shouldn't underestimate her.
only……
"If you work with me, it is equivalent to fighting against Lao Qi. Are you not afraid that he will not want you?" the queen raised her eyebrows and asked.
It is a trivial matter for women to be jealous, but it touches the interests of men. No matter how much they love each other, they will break up.
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Why didn't the Empress say that I don't want him anymore?"
"What a big tone!"
"It's just a man!" Liu Yunxiang's eyes deepened, "The Empress should have a deep understanding that some men are not worth it."
The queen lowered her eyes and thought to herself that Liu Yunxiang must have been hurt by Yan Mu and she became hateful because of love.
"What are your plans?"
Liu Yunxiang came over and said a few words in a low voice.
After hearing this, the queen's face changed, "How did you know the Emperor..."
"Empress, that's my business. All you have to do is let her eat this thing."
The queen looked at the pack of things that Liu Yunxiang gave her, and hesitated for a moment to open it, and was stunned, "Peanuts?"
Late at night, Yan Mu's courtyard was sitting beside the hot spring pool, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and occasionally tilted his head to drink it. His face was cold and careless.
"Lao Qi, what do you say?" Zhu Qingjia asked.
Yan Mu looked up at the three people sitting not far away, Shangguan Xu, Jin You and Zhu Qingjia, and was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, "What?"
Zhu Qingjia rolled his eyes, "Let's discuss big things, can you concentrate?"
"Um."
Zhu Qingjia had no choice but to repeat: "The crazy woman was poisoned to death by the emperor yesterday, and Wu Hou was sentenced to suicide after hearing the letter."
This powerful treacherous minister, who is extremely cunning and ruthless, has fought with them all over the years, but he didn't expect that his weakness was actually a woman.
Zhu Qingjia said and looked at Shangguan Xu. He was in his fifties, but he was very handsome and could not tell at all. He was smiling at this moment, but the smile was a little cold, not in a good mood or bad.
He was about to continue talking, but Shangguan Xu suddenly laughed.
"Damn, this old guy actually committed suicide for a woman! I went to the palace with him and went to the emperor to serve him. After so many years of struggle, I finally beat him down. I also wanted to go to the prison to humiliate him and show off his might, but he committed suicide!"
"But I don't understand, is it worth it for a woman?"
When he said this, he looked at Yan Mu, his eyes were accusation, and he was really puzzled.
Yan Mu took another sip of wine, "It's not worth it."
"It seems you are still a little sober..."
"But there is no way."
Shangguan Xu glared at Yan Mu in anger. A few days ago, he beat the fourth prince for Liu Yunxiang. Yesterday, he asked the fourth prince to make a fool of himself in public for Liu Yunxiang, which was not beneficial to them at all.
In front of all civil and military officials, the fourth prince made a fool of himself, and the emperor made a fool of himself.
If it is to let the emperor see how useless the fourth prince is, it is even more unnecessary, because the emperor knew very well and never considered making him the crown prince.
And his showing of his strength in public will also make the emperor feel threatened.
Jin You picked up a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Shangguan Xu, "Enjoyant Father, Xiao Qi is still responsible."
"Hmph, his measure is that he didn't kill the Fourth Prince!"
Zhu Qingjia coughed twice and continued, "Wuhou Wu, King Suping will return to Beijing soon, and the situation will definitely change. If we can let the emperor make the ninth prince the crown prince before he returns to Beijing, it will be difficult for him to change the situation after he returns to Beijing. We will follow the trend to investigate the case of General Yan's rebellion, and your long-cherished wish will come true after Lao Qi."
Yan Mu's eyes were a little sharper, "He would not easily become a crown prince."
Shangguan Xu hummed, "With the deposed prince plotting to rebel, he will feel threatened whether it is the third prince and fourth prince or you, but the ninth prince is young, which can make him feel at ease. In addition, the third prince and the fourth prince are really not good, and you..."
Yan Mu pulled the corner of his mouth, "I am his shame."
"When the Marquis of Wu fell, King Suping was still outside. Our power in the court is now overwhelming. This is a rare opportunity. So as long as the matter of establishing a crown prince was mentioned when he was in court, everyone would recommend the ninth prince, and this matter would be almost the same."
Yan Mu nodded, "Okay, I agree."
Shangguan Xu muttered for a moment, "Then you will be more at peace these days, and You'er, please coax the emperor more and please him."
"Entertainment Father, I know." After Jin You said that, she sighed slightly, "If there was no way, I really don't want Xiaojiu to be the prince. But in order to avenge the Yan family, I admit it."
"Don't worry, we will be grateful to you whether it is the adoptive father or the seventh son."
"No, General Yan and his wife are kind to me as much as a mountain, and Xiaoqi is my relative, so I should be like this."
"In the future, we will also support the Ninth Prince."
"Well, Xie's adoptive father."
Yan Mu stood up at this time, walked up to the three people, and said, "When the Yan family's case is rehabilitated, I want to leave Shengjing, no, leave Darong."
Shangguan Xu frowned, "You are leaving?"
"Well, take Liu Yunxiang and Xingyi."
"Don't go crazy with me!"
"Entertainment Father, I'm leaving, you can actually feel at ease, right?"
Shangguan Xu stood up, "What do you mean?"
Yan Mu silently said, "The ninth prince can sit on the throne, but I can sit on it too, right?"
"you!"
"But I can't control it."
Yan Mu said, looking down at Jin You, "It's just sister, I'm going to be sorry for you."
Jin You sighed, "Xiao Qi, you are not just sorry to me, you... Forget it, as long as you are happy, my sister will obey you. But, you shouldn't talk to your adoptive father like this, please apologize to him."
Yan Mu looked at Shangguan Xu again, "Encyclopedia, when I beg you, let me go."
Shangguan Xu shook his sleeves, "I just think I'm ungrateful!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Jin You sighed and left, Zhu Qingjia frowned and stepped forward and hammered Yan Mu's shoulder.
"You are so crazy, how can you turn against your foe with your adopted father? You..."
"I want to get out of here, I always have to tear my face."
"It's really worth it for Liu Yunxiang?"
Yan Mu smiled bitterly, "There is nothing worth it or not, even if I really feel bad about her, it's not that I am willing to do so. Who told me to love her?"
Zhu Qingjia sighed, "Does she love you?"
"like."
"I am willing to let go of everything for you even if I love you?"
"I don't care how much she loves me."
On the other side, in front of the western wall of the back garden, a black shadow flipped in.
Liu Yunxiang hid in the dark and saw someone coming. She looked around and then walked out.
When he saw her, the black shadow hurriedly pulled the veil down.
"girl!"
The man in black is Zi Jin, and his face, which had always been expressionless, showed unconcealed joy.
Liu Yunxiang pulled Zijin to a secret place, "Is the home okay?"
"Everything is fine, the young master and the young lady are fine."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Have I got the things I asked you to take?"
Zi Jin nodded quickly and handed a small porcelain bottle to Liu Yunxiang, "Doctor Qu said that this is highly poisonous, colorless and tasteless."
Liu Yunxiang took the small porcelain bottle, his eyes glowing coldly.
