Chapter 189 Bad Woman(1/2)
Mu Fan wanted to cry. He felt that such a pure young man was being molested by a female pervert! He suffered a big loss!
"A man's innocence is also very important. I must hold her responsible. Otherwise, I will cry, make trouble, and hang myself!"
Mu Fan muttered something and silently made a decision in his heart.
Mu Fan searched for Liu Mengran in the mansion, but found that Liu Mengran could not be found. Mu Fan felt for the first time that the mansion was too big, and people could not find it if they hid at will.
"Well! You can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade. If something goes wrong, I will be responsible if I am innocent! Don't even think about escaping!" Mu Fan muttered bitterly.
"Marquis Mu Fan!" Just as Mu Fan continued to search for Liu Mengran, a voice interrupted Mu Fan's movements.
"Oh, Lord Messenger, why are you here?" Mu Fan turned his head and looked at the messenger of Emperor Zhanlan in surprise.
When the messenger heard Mu Fan's words, black lines appeared on his forehead. Yesterday, he had told him that he would come to get the elixir, but he still pretended!
"Marquis Mu Fan, didn't you refine the elixir?" The messenger's voice was trembling. If he couldn't get the elixir back today, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely blame himself!
"Elixir! What elixir?" Mu Fan looked at the messenger in confusion and said in confusion.
The messenger immediately became anxious. He almost knelt down: "Marquis Mu Fan, please stop playing with me. You really haven't refined His Majesty's elixir, okay?"
"Oh! You are talking about His Majesty's elixir. I thought you were talking about the elixir!" Mu Fan said with sudden realization.
The envoy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder if Marquis Mu Fan has finished refining it?"
Mu Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it now. I don't understand something. I want to ask the envoy. I wonder if the envoy can tell me?"
The messenger immediately smiled bitterly and sighed in his heart: It's over. If you don't answer his question today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the elixir. This bastard, he is too bold. He even dared to seize the emperor's elixir.
However, when the envoy recalled that Mu Fan had dared to negotiate conditions with the emperor, he felt that it was not surprising.
"Please tell me, Lord Marquis, I will definitely say what I can say?" The envoy did not say everything. He did not dare to reveal the affairs of the royal family at will.
Mu Fan nodded, looked at the envoy and asked: "I heard that Your Majesty has four princes, especially the third prince who is born to the queen. According to common sense, why is the power of the third prince far less than that of the eldest prince and the second prince?"
When the envoy heard Mu Fan's words, he suddenly felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. He didn't expect that Mu Fan would talk about the issue of the royal family's throne in just one sentence. How could he talk about this?! This topic is sensitive to everyone.
of!
"Marquis Mu Fan, look at this..." The messenger looked at Mu Fan with a bitter look on his face.
"Haha, I've been busy all day and haven't eaten yet! I don't know where my maid is, so I think I should go to eat!" Mu Fan chuckled.
When the messenger heard Mu Fan's words, he immediately became anxious. It was obvious that Mu Fan was not going to give him the elixir. When he saw Mu Fan really walking towards the outside, he immediately became anxious and quickly stretched out his hand to block Mu Fan!
"What's wrong? The envoy didn't eat either. How about we eat together?" Mu Fan looked at the envoy with a smile, without mentioning the elixir at all.
The envoy couldn't help but smile bitterly. He usually went to other mansions to convey the news of His Majesty the Emperor, and no one was respectful. Even those big families did not dare to be disrespectful. But here Mu Fan has no need for him at all.
Because Mu Fan was not afraid that he would wear small shoes for him in front of the emperor. Because Mu Fan did not want to be an official of the empire at all.
If you don't want to be promoted or promoted, what's the matter if you say bad things about him every day in front of the emperor? They don't care at all, not to mention that His Majesty has repeatedly told him to be respectful to him.
Such a person makes him feel powerless. He would rather convey His Majesty's will to the Duke or the Prince than to convey His Majesty's will to Mu Fan, the Marquis!
The envoy looked around vigilantly, and when he saw no one there, he looked at Mu Fan with a wry smile and said, "Marquis Mu Fan, you are really making things difficult for me. Royal affairs cannot be discussed at will, especially for those of us who are insiders."
Official!"
Mu Fan smiled and said: "It came out of the mouth of the envoy and entered my ears. No other person knows!"
After speaking, Mu Fan took out a handful of gold coins from his arms and handed them to the envoy.
The messenger took it without leaving a trace and put it into his sleeve, and said to Mu Fan: "Since Marquis Mu Fan promised not to let the third person know, then I will take the risk! Although the third prince is the son of the queen, the queen is a person with whom
Shi Wu Zheng did not gain much power for the third prince. On the contrary, the other two princesses fought for power in the harem every day, attracting a lot of power for their son! Therefore, the most optimistic people in the whole court were these two.
The prince!"
"Then what does His Majesty think? Does he want to make that His Highness the crown prince?"
This is what Mu Fan wants to ask. His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is extremely important to him. As a close confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, the envoy is in contact with the Emperor every day, so he will definitely get some clues!
When the messenger heard these words, he looked around and took a large handful of gold coins from Mu Fan again. While sighing in his heart that Mu Fan knew how to be a good man, he continued.
"Your Majesty was originally optimistic about the third prince. The third prince had her mother's uncontested character. He was deeply loved by your majesty. However, the two princes gradually became more and more powerful. It was useless even to make the third prince the prince. Later, your majesty had no choice but to retreat.
Secondly, prepare to choose the eldest prince, lest the third prince be killed by his two powerful brothers!"
"Your Majesty chooses the eldest prince?" Mu Fan was a little shocked. If he chose the eldest prince, he would be in trouble.
The messenger shook his head and said: 'This was before His Majesty was poisoned. After His Majesty was poisoned, he suspected that he was one of the two princes. Therefore... His Majesty will never let someone who may want to kill him sit on the throne. So in the short term
Inside, His Majesty will never support anyone to take over his position! This is why His Majesty has been anxious to detoxify. He just wants to live a few more years, let the entire empire still control his men, and select a prince who is truly suitable to take over his position.
!'
When Mu Fan heard what the messenger said, he nodded, thinking about the pros and cons of this news in his heart!
The envoy looked around cautiously and said to Mu Fan: "Master Marquis, you know this, please don't say what I said, otherwise both of us will be killed. If it weren't for the Marquis and the two princes,
It is impossible to participate in the struggle for the throne if you are in opposition, and I won’t tell you!”
Mu Fan smiled and said: "Of course, but I really want to know how strong those two imperial concubines are? How do they compare to Concubine Die?"
When the messenger heard Mu Fan's words, he felt cold sweat pouring out of his forehead. Mu Fan's questions became more and more serious. The fight in the harem was much stronger than that of several princes.
Matters in the harem have always been kept secret, especially the affairs of the queen and the three concubines. Even His Majesty is unwilling to talk about it.
Mu Fan took out a huge luminous pearl from his arms, which Mu Fan had taken from the auction house yesterday. He handed it to the envoy and said, "Don't worry, envoy, I'm just curious!"
Of course the messenger didn't believe that Mu Fan was just curious, but the dazzling night pearl also made his eyes light up. He reached out and took it without leaving any trace and hid it in his arms!
"Marquis Mu Fan, I shouldn't talk too much about the harem! But since you want to know, I'll tell you! In fact, all the ministers in the imperial capital know that although the two concubines are powerful, they are far inferior to Concubine Die.
Concubine Die is a special existence in the harem. Have you ever seen a concubine who can enter and leave the harem at will? Have you ever seen a concubine who even the emperor has scruples about? Concubine Die can do all this!" the messenger said.
Mu Fan nodded and said incomprehensively: "Since Concubine Die is so powerful, then if he supports a prince, wouldn't the success rate of the prince's ascension to the throne be extremely high? Even if His Majesty the Emperor appoints a prince, if Concubine Die does not
Agreed, it would be extremely difficult for him to sit on the throne!"
The messenger broke into a cold sweat. He looked around vigilantly, and begged Mu Fan for mercy: "Young Master, please don't speak so directly! If someone heard this, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop him off."
Ah, you are criticizing Concubine Die for her rebellion!"
Mu Fan rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Children who grow up under the red flag advocate freedom of speech!"
Although the envoy didn't know what it meant to grow up under the red flag, he understood Mu Fan's unabashed words. He took a deep breath and continued to explain: "There is an essential difference between Concubine Die and other concubines. She is
Even the emperor has to be a little wary of the concubines sent by the Protector Sect."
"Guo Guo Zong?!" Mu Fan muttered twice, and finally found out about Die Yun Rui's sect. When asked about Die Yun Rui's sect, he always said nothing!
The envoy explained: "The empire is supported by two forces, one is the royal family, and the other is the Protector Sect. The Protector Sect does not participate in state affairs. He only protects the country and prevents it from declining. The Protector Sect's
Many people have royal blood. Therefore, the Huguozong is loyal to the royal family! Every generation of emperors, the Huguozong will cultivate a concubine for him, and this concubine is also a queen. I just don’t understand why when it comes to Concubine Die, she takes the position of the queen.
Get out!"
"The power of the Protector's Sect is no less than that of the royal family! It's just that the Protector's Sect is special, and even the emperor cannot easily order it. This also results in the special identity of Concubine Die! After all, Concubine Die represents the Protector's Sect!" the messenger
explained.
Mu Fan nodded, but couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Who would have thought that Concubine Die would hate both the Protector Sect and the royal family.
"Although Concubine Die is strong, the purpose of the Protector of the Country is not to participate in state affairs, so they will not participate in the fight for the throne!"
Mu Fan thought about it quietly, and Mu Fan guessed that Die Yunfu should have a huge force that truly belonged to him, not from the Protector of the Country Sect.
However, after all, she has not fallen out with the Huguo Sect, so everyone still regards her as a member of the Huguo Sect.
However, although Die Yunfu has power that does not belong to the royal family and the Protector Sect, she does not dare to reveal it due to the dangers of the royal family and the Protector Sect, so her participation in the battle for the throne is not significant. As she said
, the murkier the empire’s water is, the better it is for her!
"Haha, Sir Envoy has told me this. You also understand that I am against the two princes, so I need to know a little bit about their situation, so..." Mu Fan said with a smile.
"Understood! Understood!" The messenger nodded, and Mu Fan was very happy with his generosity. "Marquis Mu Fan, please be careful. The power of the two princesses cannot be underestimated. Their power is gained through the aristocratic families or ministers attracted by their natal families.
Gathered together, the network of connections is terrifying! So if they deal with one person, they will be hard to guard against!"
Mu Fan nodded. In this aspect, Die Yunrou was not as good as them.
"Thank you, Lord Messenger, for your concern!" Mu Fan said.
"What are you talking about, Marquis Mu Fan, but Marquis Mu Fan has the support of His Majesty, so he will be fine!" the messenger chuckled.
"Pooh……"
Mu Fan sighed and ignored this sentence. Although the old guy gave him a token, he was far from supporting him. Even if his two princes killed him, he might not be able to do it.
Move it!
"By the way, I wonder what happened to the elixir refined by Marquis Mu Fan?" The messenger finally couldn't help but ask. If he didn't take the elixir back today, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the emperor.
"Haha! My father-in-law said that I had refined the elixir early in the morning. I'm just waiting for my father-in-law to come and pick it up!" Mu Fan said with a smile. After getting the news he wanted, he was worried but very happy in his heart.
The messenger cursed in his heart: He had refined it early in the morning, but now he thought of giving it to me. If I hadn't told you this news, I'm afraid you wouldn't have given it to me!
However, the envoy would not show it on his face. He looked at Mu Fan and said with a smile: "Marquis Mu Fan is worthy of being valued by His Majesty. Your medical skills put us to shame!"
"What the hell! Thank you, Lord Messenger. If you give this elixir to His Majesty the Emperor, he should be able to recover. However, within a few hours after taking it, there may be some pain due to detoxification. Please bear with it."
Got it!" Mu Fan handed over the elixir.
To be continued...
