"Li Wewei really understands the saying, 'To untie a bell, one must tie it.'" Ximen Hao smiled softly.
Wushan's disappearance was originally caused by Ximen Yi, so it was most appropriate for him to return Wushan. Li Bing saw this very clearly. But without evidence, he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only treat it as a suggestion.
Speak it out.
Su Luocheng and Ximen Yi would not propose such an arrangement. If Ximen Hao proposed it, it would make Ximen Xianchu feel that he had ulterior motives. It would be more appropriate if Li Bing, a close guard of the emperor, made the suggestion.
"Your Majesty, is Princess Bei in your hands?" Li Bing asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Ximen Hao didn't hide it.
"Someone asked me to rescue the princess. I think I have limited abilities. I also ask the prince to be merciful and not to give the emperor a dead body." Li Bing said.
"Who wants to follow Li Wewei's path?" Ximen Hao asked with great interest. The shadow of the mysterious man in black swept across his mind, making his heart sink.
Li Bing paused for a moment, with a hint of hesitation on his wooden face, but decided to answer, "It's Princess Wan."
"It's her?" Ximen Hao was relieved, "Their relationship is really not that good."
As he spoke the words, Ximen Hao thought of Ximen Zhe. Even he didn't realize it, and there was a slight sourness in his words.
Li Bing's eyebrows trembled mechanically a few times, and he glanced at Ximen Hao with a different look. He always felt that the North King's tone was a little different from usual, just like when he saw Ximen Wan, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
comfortable.
After Ximen Yi and Su Luocheng received the emperor's order to find Wu Shan, they did not leave the palace, but went to Yunxiaoyuan to discuss countermeasures with Concubine Shu.
"I really didn't expect that Li Bing's words were so effective." A faint cloud hung over Concubine Shu's charming face.
"It's not that Li Bing's words are effective, but that the emperor has already made up his mind." Su Luocheng said, "The emperor has used a decisive move. The two princes are princes, so they will not be ruthless. Everything will be done.
It must be borne by the ministers."
"You can't even control your own daughter, and you still feel wronged in front of me?" Concubine Shu sneered, "If Su Ranhua hadn't been pregnant with a bastard first, even if she had taken the ring in advance, wouldn't she have turned the situation around?
, is it framed on Ximen Hao’s head? There is no chance for Ximen Hao to turn the situation around, it’s now a mess!”
Su Luocheng lowered his head and said nothing. He never expected that Ximen Hao had such a big handle and could give him a fatal blow at any time.
"Concubine, what should we do next?" Ximen Yi was at a loss for ideas. The emperor asked him to find Wushan, but Wushan had long since disappeared from this world, and he could not hand her over even if he died.
"Why are you panicking?" Concubine Shu glanced at Su Luocheng, "If you can't hand over the person, the emperor will punish the prime minister's office severely. Will he really operate on princes like you? He will punish you heavily and remove you from power, leaving it to outsiders to enjoy themselves.
go?"
"Shu Concubine, the prime minister's office is wholeheartedly supporting King Nan. At this time, you can't ignore the old minister!" Su Luocheng looked frightened and kowtowed to Concubine Shu.
He was really unjust in this matter, but he just managed to force Ximen Hao to marry Su Ranhua, and the subsequent planning hadn't even started yet, and Wu Shan's matter had nothing to do with him, and he was suddenly involved in this mess.
Shuili, now he is asked to bear the greatest responsibility for this matter, and the entire Prime Minister's Office is implicated.
At this time, he even wanted to eat Su Ranhua.
"Things were all confused by Su Ranhua. If you don't find a solution yourself, what else do you want me to do? Do you want me to tell the Emperor that Wu Shan was killed by you? Even so, you have to
Hand over Wushan's body." Concubine Shu snorted disdainfully.
If there really was a body, it would be easier to deal with. But the ruthless mother and son had already wiped out Wu Shan's body. Su Luocheng had no energy to explore the means of killing Wu Shan. His first priority was how to give Ximen Xianchu an explanation.
At this time, if he reveals that Ximen Yi killed Wu Shan without evidence, and Ximen Yi then identifies Wu Shan as the murderer, the Prime Minister's Mansion will turn against the Nanwang Mansion. Without the support of the prince, Su Luo City will know
, which will be even more detrimental to your future actions.
Therefore, he has definitely taken the blame.
"Wei Chen will go back and think of a solution." Su Luocheng hid all his anger and asked Concubine Shu and Ximen Yi to resign, "Wei Chen resigned."
"Mother, at this time, shouldn't we cooperate with the Prime Minister and face the difficulties together? It doesn't seem good to leave Suluo City alone."
After Su Luocheng left, Ximen Yi asked in confusion that if there was any friction between the Prime Minister's Palace and the Southern Palace, only the Northern Palace would benefit.
"Don't worry, he won't do anything detrimental to you at this time. This cunning thing knows very well." Concubine Shu chuckled and sat back on the soft couch. "I believe in his ability. He has the ability."
The means of self-rescue saved his Prime Minister’s Palace, which also saved the Nanwang Palace. It’s just——”
"Just what?" Ximen Yi looked at Concubine Shu's dim expression and asked in confusion.
"Actually, we are in a dilemma at this time." Concubine Shu said, "Without being able to hand over Wu Shan, plus Su Ranhua's plan to deceive the king into marrying into the Beiwang Palace, we have to deal with this plot orchestrated by Ximen Hao."
Conspiracy', the emperor will not let it go; but even if Suluo City gives the emperor an explanation, the emperor will still not let go of his previous suspicions about us, he will just think that we want to settle the matter and stop for now. "
"No matter what, the Nanwang Palace will be inferior in the eyes of the father?" Ximen Yi understood what Concubine Shu said.
Concubine Shu nodded, her eyes glanced at Ximen Yi, and a trace of cruelty flashed across her face, "A good plan was messed up. I hope that the last thing Ximen Hao will hand over is the body of Su Ranhua."
Ximen Yi remained silent. He really couldn't bear to send people to kill Su Ranhua, but in order to escape from Wushan's incident, he had to follow Suluo City's plan and Shu Fei's instructions. Maybe after that life ended, he
will gradually be forgotten.
However, even after using ruthless tactics such as blowing up the dungeon, Su Ranhua still did not die in the hands of the killer. If Su Ranhua did not die, the purpose of "silencing" would not have been achieved. He wanted to contact Jiangnan Ximen Sheng.
On the body, it is not so easy.
Things today are like a mess, entangled in Ximen Yi's mind. He never thought that things would develop into such a mess.
"My son will send people to secretly search for the whereabouts of Su Ranhua and silence him in time." Ximen Yi understood what Concubine Shu meant. Only by letting Su Ranhua die in the hands of people related to Jiangnan as expected and pushing it to Ximen Sheng could he slowly
Remove the emperor's wariness towards him and eliminate the impact of the Wu Shan incident.
"What I'm worried about is whether the person who rescued Su Ranhua might be Ximen Sheng's people?" Concubine Shu said worriedly, her eyes suddenly lit up with a bit of joy, "But it's okay, I can break in by myself.
It’s not like we deliberately tried to implicate him.”
