"Giggle..." The queen smiled brightly. At this moment, she lost the self-control of a queen and became more unrestrained and casual in line with her age. "Is this the image I have in your heart? Is it possible that I always
Are you here just to ask for your help?"
"Isn't it? In addition to taking Simu out of the palace to play, there are all kinds of things. Moreover, you are getting more and more excessive. The things you want me to do recently are not the insignificant things you used to do. I said that I can personally help
You, but what you want to do cannot use the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
The queen ignored it and kept to herself: "Something happened at court this morning. The Prime Minister brought up some recent rumors in Kyoto, thinking that the prince's death was related to the second or third prince."
Chunjiao frowned slightly and was silent for a while: "I don't need to know about the affairs of the court, and you don't want to tell me either."
"Of course I won't tell you about ordinary things, but this matter is very relevant and will definitely affect everyone in Kyoto. Even if you don't want to hear it and don't care about it, it will still affect you. If you know some rumors in advance, you can always
Isn’t it better to deal with it in a hurry than after it happens?”
"There is some truth to this."
The Queen smiled: "So, you'd better listen properly."
Chunjiao was silent, but her expression became serious.
The queen continued: "I don't know who spread the news, saying that the prince's death was related to the second prince, and privately notified many of the prince's old men, causing those who were loyal to the prince to join forces again. The last assassination in the west of the city was just one
Introduction, those people haven't really taken any action yet, and there must have been an assassination attempt on the second prince recently.
But this is not important. What is important is that the news spread so fast. In just three or four days, it has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto. Although no one talks about it, it will always be discussed in private. I feel that someone is behind this matter.
Adding fuel to the flames is an attempt to cause trouble against Li Xiangyang."
"These things have nothing to do with you and me, so why worry?"
"I just feel that this person who is hiding behind the scenes and fueling the flames... his methods are a bit familiar..." The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Chunjiao, "Tell me honestly, is he back?"
"Ah?!" Chunjiao exclaimed, her surprised expression fleeting.
The queen happened to capture this detail and at the same time heard a little noise in the room behind her.
The queen was about to send someone to see it, but before she could say anything, she immediately changed her mind and glanced at the door thoughtfully.
Chunjiao looked at the Queen's shrewd eyes and was so frightened that her heart jumped out of her throat. Fortunately, the Queen did not open the door.
Chunjiao regretted a little. She should have known that this woman was very cunning and should not have risked letting Xia Shang eavesdrop on their conversation. She might have noticed something.
"What's wrong? I see that you are very surprised. Could it be that I was right?"
Chunjiao took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and replied with a calm expression: "How could it be? If he comes back, he will naturally come to you as soon as possible. After all, it is not only you, but also Simu."
The queen's eyes flashed and she sneered: "He came to see me? How could he come to see me? If he were here, he would definitely try his best to avoid me. Because he knows that he can't control me. I have something in my hands.
My child, he has nothing, and when he sees me at this time, he is obviously at a disadvantage. With his shrewd appearance, how can he show up on his own initiative?"
Chunjiao was speechless, thinking that this woman didn't have much time with Xia Shang, so why was she like the roundworm in Xia Shang's belly, knowing everything he wanted.
Chunjiao quietly looked back at the door, and Xia Shang was already wiping cold sweat at this moment.
The queen's eyes changed, and she suddenly said confidently: "If he really returns to the capital, you don't need to tell me, I have my own means to lure him out."
"Um?"
"What? Don't believe it? Then we'll see."
Chunjiao was a little worried. Seeing the queen's confident look, she seemed to have received some news, as if she knew Xia Shang was nearby.
But then I thought about it, and I didn't know what I was worried about. If I was worried, it was the man in the room who was worried, and it had nothing to do with me.
Indeed, Xia Shang was already a little frightened in the room. Sisi behind him handed over a silk scarf.
, she will have a chance."
Outside, the queen changed the subject and told the story of what happened in the court today with a stern face.
all over.
After hearing this, Chunjiao looked bitter and whispered: "It seems that something big will happen in the next ten days."
"I'm telling you this to tell your people to stay calm and not get involved. And be careful. After all, there will be others who are using the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the moment.
people show up.”
Chunjiao had doubts again: "What about you? You didn't prepare anything yourself?"
"What can I prepare? As a queen, can I still participate in the fight for the crown prince? Besides, at Simu's age, we can't count on him. Although we are women, we still have to have a longer view. Although the crown prince's position is important, after all,
It's not a battle for the throne. Li Yong and Li Xiangyang are fighting in private, so we won't participate. I don't care what the truth behind it is, I just want to see what the result is in ten days.
But... Speaking of ten days from now, I'm afraid there will be a commotion in the court that day. I don't have a reliable person around me. When the time comes, I hope you can stand by my side, as well as people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's best to be there.
Ambushes are set up around the main hall in order to deal with sudden situations."
"You've been talking for a long time, this is your purpose!" Chunjiao increased her tone, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Why?! After ten days, no matter who is finally determined to be the crown prince, someone will definitely make a fuss in the court, or even start a fight directly in the palace. I am helpless, and if there is no strong support by my side, not only will it be dangerous at that time
It’s absolutely amazing, even in the future no one will be afraid of me!”
"In the past, you could ask me to help you kill one or two people in private, but this time you asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take action, especially in front of the civil and military officials of the court. Didn't you ask the Inspectorate to help you with all its strength! Your Excellency said before leaving,
The Procuratorate cannot take sides. Moreover, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been working in secret since its establishment. It is only responsible for the emperor's orders and cannot interfere with the government affairs. If it appears in the Jinluan Palace, it will be done openly and it will violate the Duproce
The responsibilities of the hospital.”
"When did this happen? Who among the current Kyoto officials is only responsible for official arrangements?"
"Stop talking! As long as I am in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and help you scare the officials, don't even think about it. Unless you send someone to kill me and take over the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or wait until the Lord comes back, as long as the Lord nods, I will
