Chapter 50 Entering the palace to meet the emperor
The wedding of Nangong Nuoer and Lin Yixiang was over, and there was no more chaos in the capital. Lu Zhiyao still went to the Beauty Pavilion to practice martial arts every day, and his body gradually became less painful, and the number of times he was knocked down by Lin Mubai gradually became less and less.
But just when Lu Zhiyao started to relax, a piece of news almost made her confused.
Lu Zhiyao came to Beauty Pavilion that day. Before he reached Lin Mubai's room, he saw Lin Mubai's figure.
Lu Zhiyao was slightly stunned, because Lin Mubai stayed in the room every day, drinking tea leisurely. Only when he knocked on the door did he look at her with a disdainful look, as if he wanted to say something to her.
She said, "You want to come here to be beaten again?" Same thing. But now, Lin Mubai seemed to be waiting for her.
Lu Zhiyao walked over slowly, looked into Lin Mubai's eyes with a strange expression, and asked, "Uncle Emperor, what's wrong with you today?"
"The Emperor already knows about Qing Bing."
Lin Mubai suddenly said such a sentence, which made Lu Zhiyao immediately think of Lin Yinan.
"Then the emperor also knows about the affairs of the Nangong family and the Qingming Kingdom?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a frown.
"Even if he doesn't know everything, he should be able to guess to some extent. Without the permission of the Nangong family, it would be impossible for so many people to come here."
"Oops..." Lu Zhiyao's heart suddenly sank. Although Nangong Lingfeng is in the capital, he still has so many troops that he can mobilize. If the emperor really feels the crisis, he wants to take the opportunity to subdue the Nangong family.
, and if Lin Yinan is called back, then if the Qingming Kingdom sends troops to attack at this time, and cooperates with the Nangong family, wouldn't it be difficult for Lin Yinan to have a chance of winning? Moreover, the emperor's throne may not be able to be saved.
Lu Zhiyao's expression changed, making Lin Mubai feel that something was wrong. "What's wrong?" Lin Mubai asked aloud. Looking at Lu Zhiyao's flickering eyes, he knew that she would not tell the truth.
"Uncle Emperor, is this news accurate?" Lu Zhiyao asked without answering. After seeing Lin Mubai nod, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have some things to deal with, so I will go back today."
After saying that, Lu Zhiyao turned around and left.
Lin Mubai watched Lu Zhiyao go away without making a sound to stop her. After Yin Jianli suggested that he follow Lu Zhiyao to see what happened, Lin Mubai glanced at him and said: "She
Martial arts today are no better than before. If you go there, you will definitely be discovered."
Lu Zhiyao hurried back to her residence, found Bai Lixuan and the others, and asked them to bring out the map. She knew that some things had become a habit since Bai Lixuan and the others had been with Xia Zhenkun for so long.
Seeing Lu Zhiyao's solemn expression, Bai Lixuan was a little confused and took out the maps of Xia Lai Country and Qing Ming Country according to her instructions, and threw them on the table.
Lu Zhiyao stared at it intently for a while, then whispered: "Go and find Ling Yi and Lan Ruoling for me."
It was so late that Lu Zhiyao suddenly wanted to find these two people. Something big must have happened. Bai Lixuan did not dare to delay and immediately went to the Eight Emperors Mansion to look for someone. As soon as Lan Ruoling and Ling Yi entered the house, they saw Lu Zhiyao
Sitting at the table, staring at the map by dim candlelight.
"What's wrong?" Lan Ruoling walked over and asked.
Lu Zhiyao raised his head and glanced at the two of them, sighed, turned his attention to Bai Lixuan, and asked: "If Nangong Lingfeng doesn't go to the battlefield and the Qingming Kingdom attacks, what are our chances of winning?"
Bai Lixuan was a little surprised that Lu Zhiyao would ask this question. After thinking about it seriously, he shook his head and said slowly: "As far as I know, there are only Nangong Jing and a few deputy generals at the border now. Nangong Jing is already old.
No matter how brave and skillful you were in the past, you may still be no match for the Qing Ming Kingdom. Nangong Lingfeng is the only person in the Xia Lai Kingdom who can resist the Qing soldiers now."
"What about you? How much do you know about Qingbing?"
"This..." Bai Lixuan and the other three looked at each other in confusion, feeling a bad feeling in their hearts.
"Are there any important strongholds of Qingming Kingdom near here?" Lu Zhiyao didn't wait for their answer and then asked.
Bai Lixuan glanced at the land that Lu Zhiyao pointed to, which was at the border between the two countries. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is a town called Mingshan in this area of Qingming Kingdom. It is not big, but it is a very big place."
It's an important position, most of the soldiers are here, and there's also a big grain depot."
Lu Zhiyao held his forehead with one hand and tried hard to clear his mind. Thinking back to the tactics of war that Xia Tian told him before, it seemed that none of them were useful now.
Lan Ruoling and Ling Yi didn't know what happened, so they could only stand with Bai Lixuan and others, waiting for Lu Zhiyao's other instructions.
Lu Zhiyao was silent for who knows how long. Finally, she sat up straight, her eyes brightened, and she continued to look at the map, with a smile finally appearing on her face.
"You three go back and rest first. I have something very important to discuss with you tomorrow." Lu Zhiyao asked Bai Lixuan and the others to leave first, then looked at Lan Ruoling and Ling Yi, and told them the matter in a low voice.
"Now I am very worried that the emperor will be impulsive and ask Yinan to lead those soldiers back to suppress Nangong Lingfeng. Although the green soldiers outside the capital are difficult to deal with, they are not impossible. But there are no reliable people at the border. Dozens of
If the Wanqing soldiers come over, we really have no choice. We can't let Yinan get involved in this war, so I have to enter the palace to see the emperor."
"But Master, even if you enter the palace now, the Emperor may not listen to you." Lan Ruoling looked at Lu Zhiyao with a worried look, "And if the Emperor knew about your secret return, he would definitely not
I will be happy. It will be bad if I embarrass you then."
"Now is not the time to think about this. He will listen to some things I say, but you may not say it. Moreover, I also want to let the emperor know that his son is willing to be used by him, but he is willing to do so, not because he has nothing to do.
"
Lu Zhiyao's words made Lan Ruoling and Ling Yi feel chills on their backs. What did she mean?
"Master, it's not easy to anger the emperor, not to mention that the eighth prince is not in the capital right now." Lan Ruoling still felt that Lu Zhiyao's move was too risky.
"It's better to annoy him than to let Lin Yinan die." Lu Zhiyao lowered her eyes. She also felt ridiculous that she would make such a decision. She has always felt that her life is the most important, at least.
She cannot die before taking revenge. But now she has to take such a risk. "Even if Lin Yinan is not dead, but the soldiers who have been carefully trained by the emperor for so many years are killed, the emperor will definitely be angry with him. As long as
The emperor has recalled Lin Yinan. We will definitely lose this battle. The emperor is not stupid. He should know that his life and throne are more important than letting me, a little girl, play nonsense. Besides, I am not fooling around.
.”
There were advantages and disadvantages to her going to see the emperor. She wanted the emperor to know that the people around Lin Yinan were not stupid and were not easy to deal with. But in this way, the emperor might also be more wary of Lin Yinan. After the Nangong family and other worries were resolved,
It's hard to say whether he will take action against Lin Yinan. There are so many princes in the palace, and the emperor will not care about Lin Yinan's life or death. If he really cared, he would not have used Lin Yinan for so many years to put Lin Yinan at the forefront of the storm.
.
"Since the master has decided, we have nothing to say." Ling Yi, who had been silent, spoke up. He looked at Lu Zhiyao calmly and asked, "But I don't know if the master has any good plans that can make the Nangong family
Are you afraid of restraining yourself, giving up and forcing the emperor to abdicate, and can you prevent the Qingming Kingdom from sending troops to attack us?"
"Avoiding the truth and attacking the fictitious, we ostensibly gave up on saving the emperor and attacked the heart of Qingming Kingdom, which is the Mingshan Town that Bai Lixuan just mentioned. As for the emperor, we will quietly rescue the palace without giving Nangong Lingfeng a chance to attack.
, the emperor will definitely have ideas and plans to deal with the Nangong family at this time."
"But how can we guarantee that the attack on Mingshan Town will be successful and that we will escape unscathed?" Ling Yi asked confused.
"We don't necessarily need to send many people to attack Mingshan Town. Our goal is the grain depot. I think the soldiers on the Qingming Kingdom's frontier usually eat and drink from Mingshan Town. If we use the name of the Nangong family,
Go destroy this grain depot and stir up trouble in Mingshan Town. Do you think the Qingming Kingdom will cooperate with the Nangong family again in the future? Don’t forget, Yinan’s master has already rushed to the border. With the two of them, they will definitely
There will be a way to sneak into Qingshan Town."
"The idea is good, but I don't know if we can catch up." Lan Ruoling sighed worriedly, "If the emperor really abdicates, things will be in trouble."
There was silence in the room, and Lin Mubai had listened to all the conversations of several people outside. Lu Zhiyao's plan and boldness made Lin Mubai change his views on her, and turned around to leave. Lin Mubai returned to Prince Mu's Mansion.
After pondering for a long time, he found Yin Jianli and ordered him to take his mount to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion after dawn.
Yin Jianli opened his eyes wide, absolutely surprised by what Lin Mubai did. That horse was Lin Mubai's treasure, how could he give it to Lin Yinan and his gang so well?
There were doubts in his heart, but Yin Jianli didn't dare to ask. He nodded in agreement and then stepped back. Yin Jianli felt that Lin Mubai was becoming more and more incomprehensible recently.
After dawn, Lu Zhiyao welcomed Yin Jianli. After hearing him say that Lin Mubai wanted to see him, Lu Zhiyao followed Yin Jianli away under Ling Yi's uneasy gaze.
Arriving at Prince Mu's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Mubai who was getting ready to go, and asked curiously: "Where are we going?"
"Don't you want to go into the palace to see the emperor?" Lin Mubai stood with his hands behind his hands. Seeing Lu Zhiyao's expression as if he had been frightened, he smiled with satisfaction. "Why, do you think I don't know anything?
"
"No. I've always known that the emperor's uncle has great magical powers, but I didn't expect that he would be so powerful." Lu Zhiyao swallowed his saliva and quickly flattered Lin Mubai. "But the emperor's uncle, you interfered in this matter, really.
Is it good?"
If Lin Mubai stops now, will the emperor think that he intends to help Lin Yinan and be Lin Yinan's backer? Although the relationship between Lin Mubai and the emperor seems not to be harmonious, Lu Zhiyao doesn't want them either.
The relationship deteriorated because of Lin Yinan.
"It's okay. As long as Xia Lai Kingdom is still in his hands, he won't care too much about other things."
