Chapter 532 But only, by any means necessary!
When blood was about to be spilled in the Xuan Ming Palace, outside the palace.
Marquis Yan’s Mansion.
Song Yixiao was trying to comfort Jiang Mubai: ”Lu Hehao, he’s staying at the Jia Mu Palace now, what can he be doing? You think that King Qing’s bloodline was confirmed in public! After this, how can Lu Hehao not follow the pole to climb, saying that his former socalled treason is actually trying to redress the wrongs of the late emperor? It’s just that the opportunity hadn’t come yet, and he hadn’t been able to let the ministers see His Majesty’s true colors if he had cleared his name, how could Mr. Yuan have a problem?”
“Just tell me the truth!” Jiang Mu Scape cried out before she finished her sentence, “I escaped today you know? My sisterinlaw personally brought people to the place where we live, trying to force me back to the Jiang family Husband, he has already written a letter of release for his wife, as my sisterinlaw requested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
With tears falling like rain, she choked out, “If the situation wasn’t critical and my family, as you know, isn’t an unreasonable person, how could they do this?!”
Since Yuan Xue Pei lost his title, Jiang Mubai was implicated and also became a civil servant like Song Yixiao, neither of them were qualified to attend the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and naturally, they did not know about the wild storm at the birthday banquet last night.
Only she has a good mother’s family, Jiang Muying last night out of the palace, while convening the brothers of the heart to discuss business, while not forgetting to urge his wife Zhuge, be sure to get his sister back to his mother’s family, so as not to be affected by Yuan Xue Pei implicated!
Because of the curfew, Zhuge could not send someone to pick up Jiang Mu scape until this morning. Originally, she wanted to trick Jiang Mu scape to go back to her mother’s home, but Yuan Xue Pei’s legs were not very comfortable in the past two days, and Jiang Mu scape was very worried about it, so even if Zhuge said that Jiang Mu scape’s mother was sick, she did not agree to go back to her mother’s home.
She only said that she believed that Zhuge and other sistersinlaw would definitely take good care of her mother, and that the Yuan family could not leave herself now, and that she had to wait for Yuan Xue Pei to get better before she could go back to her mother’s house to visit.
Zhuge can only tell her the truth: the commoner Lu Hehao made such a big deal, and there is no strong backer behind him, so you can imagine what will happen to him in the future!
And Yuan Xue Pei has been working with Lu He Hao for the past two years. If Lu He Hao wants a tragedy, how can he not involve Yuan Xue Pei?
The Jiang family may not care that his sister was Yuan Xue Pei even lost the grant, as long as Yuan Xue Pei is still good to his sister is also. Anyway, the Marquis of Boling’s residence has not been raided, and the couple is still welldressed.
But now Lu Hehao is involved in a royal scandal that is enough to leave a longlasting stench and be the laughing stock of history unless he ascends to the throne himself, there’s no way it will end well. As his beloved Yuan Xue Pei, it was estimated that his life would be hard to protect, and wouldn’t Jiang Mubai be in bad shape by then as well?
Therefore, after Zhuge’s handing over to her sisterinlaw, she asked Yuan Xue Pei to come out and speak, and bluntly asked him to write a letter of release for his wife, and to make peace with Jiang Mu Scape!
And while Yuan Xue Pei complied very readily, Jiang Mu Scape refused to leave
Song Yixiao measured her slightly puffy sideburns, slightly disheveled skirt, thought strange Jiang Mu scape today is in the back door called the door, and even a maid did not bring, the original is to sneak over.
But …
Jiang Mou scape is a real golden lady, the couple now live from Yan Houfu although not far, in the end also separated by two streets.
Zhuge’s as the Jiang family as the mother of the house, go to the Yuan family to pick up her sisterinlaw, naturally impossible not to bring along the attendants actually or was she all the way to Marquis Yan to run, and sat here for a while, a hot tea are down, but also did not look for over?
“I didn’t go to the palace for the banquet yesterday, and all I know is what my husband told me after he came back.” Song Yixiao sipped her tea and said somewhat helplessly, “I don’t know if this matter will involve Mr. Yuan, but my husband and Mr. Yuan have been friends since childhood. But my husband and Mr. Yuan have been friends since they were young, so I’m sure he won’t just stand by and watch!”
Jiang Mu Scape wept, ”When His Majesty goes to the throne, the most legitimate person to ascend to the throne is none other than the Crown Prince! But the Empress suffered such a great loss at the hands of Lu Hehao, how could she let Lu Hehao go? And Husband has done so much to help Lu He Hao, do you think the Empress is willing to be lenient with him?!”
“It’s not a sure thing!” Song Yixiao knows Jiang Mubai usually is not particularly concerned about current affairs, not long ago Yuan Xue Pei from the Imperial Prison after a walk, lost the title, the couple is moving, and organize, Jiang Mubai and afraid of her husband in the Imperial Prison accumulated cold, has been concentrating on finding someone to give him physical conditioning, for the recent situation in the court, inevitably do not know well.
At this moment, he politely said, “Just now, I heard my husband come back and say that this day, the palace didn’t open its doors until noon, and about His Majesty’s departure, it was decided in a few words, so there was nothing to argue about! However, there was a lot of noise in the courtroom about who the new ruler should be in the end, His Majesty even fainted in public! Minister Gu came out to round up the scene, and only then did the ministers disperse.”
“So the new king may not be the crown prince either?”
Jiang Mu Scape’s eyes lit up at the words, and he was busy asking in a low voice, “Then, who do you think it could be?”
“Who dares to make that promise now?” Song Yixiao shook her head slightly and said, “If you want me to say, I’d rather it be King Su.”
“But King Su is not in the Imperial Capital at all!” Jiang Mufa no longer cared about current affairs, in the end, he was from an official family, and extremely loved by his father and brother, so he naturally understood that at the moment when the court was discussing the establishment of a new ruler, King Su was still on his way back to the imperial capital, and how disadvantageous it was!
Before they spoke, they had already cleared the scene, and now Song YiXiao smiled bitterly and said, “But you also said, if the throne is the Crown Prince, because of Lu HeHao’s sake, it may not be a good thing for us! Although our Marquis Yan has not directly offended the Empress or the Wei family, who doesn’t know about your husband’s relationship with Mr. Yuan? How could you possibly not care about Mr. Yuan? So naturally, we are also harboring the selfish hope that the new ruler will not be the Crown Prince. Other people, let’s start with King Qing, although he is a young and innocent son, for the sake of the late emperor’s face, the court and the public will not keep him!”
“In addition there is nothing more than the three kings of Xiang, Su, and Shu, and the commoner Lu Hehao!”
“Who do you think would be good for us as the new king?”
“The point is, who could possibly squash the crown prince’s ascension to the throne?!”
Jiang Mu Scape was stunned for a moment, and also smiled bitterly, “So, now we can only listen to God’s fate?”
“I don’t believe in destiny or not!” Inside the Imperial City, in the main hall of Huiyi Palace, Empress Su’s face was morose, “I am the wife of the late Emperor’s married wife, the seizure of the Crown Prince at the time of His Majesty, Emperor Huizong, how much did I, the Su Clan of Qingzhou, pay for the late Emperor? What did Cui’s bitch and her mother’s family do for the late Emperor at that time? If I had no children, it would have been fine! Since I have my own son, this world should be my blood!”
She said here gasping for breath, with a hand to press the chest, seems to calm down the emotions, before continuing, “Especially the Duanhua small children can not live with their own sins, in public to testify that with the King of the Qing is the biological father and son such a monarch, fatherless and unconscionable things, actually still delusion of the father to go to the son successor! Where did he get the cheek!!!”
“Your Highness, the only thing to worry about now is that His Highness King Su is afraid that it will be difficult for him to enter the imperial capital within three days!” Fang Yu said worriedly, “If we only count the footsteps, His Highness will be able to enter the city tomorrow evening, but the Second Prince has sent word that the Wei family has convinced He Wenqiong to set up a dragnet around the Imperial Capital, and as long as His Highness reveals his whereabouts, he will mobilize the forbidden guards to encircle and kill His Highness!”
“And Minister Gu has already chosen the Crown Prince Lord Qiu can’t support him alone, and may not be able to delay the determination of this new ruler’s choice for too long!”
“If His Highness is able to appear in the courtroom and fight for the throne openly, why should we be afraid of the Crown Prince and the Wei family?!”
Empress Su pondered for a moment with a grave expression and slowly said, “I understand what Shao Ge means: it’s time to use that person!”
And at this time, in the Xuan Ming Palace, the short knife that Xin Jian pulled out from her sleeve was able to cut into Lu He Hao’s skin!
“Empress at this moment to kill me easy, only fear you kill me after, can not explain to the world at that time, remorse is too late ah!” Lu Hehao, however, as if he did not feel any fear at all, the corner of his mouth actually still slightly hooked up, faintly said, “After all, everyone will think that you are trying to kill to silence, planted, stolen, framed, harmed!”
When Xin Jian heard this, she subconsciously stopped her hands and looked at Empress Wei inquiringly.
Empress Wei snorted out a laugh, “Staging a mystery, no need to pay attention to it!”
“If you kill me, you won’t be able to stay here in the imperial capital!” Lu Hehao could see that Empress Wei was really motivated to kill, his face was also gloomy, speeding up his speech, said, “The Empress knows that I was the mastermind of the smallpox incident at Cuihua Mountain last year! Couldn’t you imagine that I would also use this to protect myself?”
“Now you think you have the upper hand, but it’s only because of King Su’s difficulty in entering the Imperial Capital!”
“That’s why the Su Family can only stop the Crown Prince from ascending the throne for now, and can’t even openly promote King Su!”
“But what if smallpox has been found in all parts of the Imperial Capital, including within this Imperial City?!”
“Will you be able to stay when the time comes?”
“Even if you dare to take this risk, what will the court think?”
“For the sake of fighting for the throne, hard pressing the whole dynasty to listen to the fate of heaven in the imperial capital where smallpox erupted don’t be too happy for the Su family at that time!”
“Once you move to another place to hide from the smallpoxit will be too late for the few men He Wenqiong has to protect you, let alone have the time to keep an eye on King Su!”
“And with such a delay, the Su Clan of Qingzhou would have been in charge of the military, and as long as they were given time, they could have mobilized their troops from elsewhere to escort King Su as for the disposition of the troops that were unauthorized to move without an imperial decree, anyway, as long as King Su succeeded in ascending to the throne, all of this could be wiped out!”
“If the Empress doesn’t believe me, she can let you, the palace maid, continue to chop off my head!!!”
Empress Wei looked at him for a long time.
A few moments later, Duanhua Emperor uttered a little bit of food, “Shisu, what he … said is true?”
The emperor was so stunned that it was hard to describe, “I remember, you also have not been out of the flower, right? If smallpox really ravaged the imperial capital, you will be able to escape?”
“And the entire dynasty is within this capital city, and my Lu clan resides here as well once they contract this epidemic, what will be the end of my Da Rui … my Da Rui? Lu He Hao, are you crazy?!”
“If you can’t get it, destroy it.” Lu Hehao said indifferently, “Isn’t that also very simple?”
He snorted out a laugh, “The Crown Prince has the Wei family; King Su has the Su family; Your Majesty, you used to have the former Emperor, and now you have Gu Shao; and King Xiang used to have the Imperial Aunt of Dai Guo! King Shu is young and doesn’t know how to fight for power yet, and I am the only one who has nothing among the brothers who have great ambitions!”
“So I have no choice but to, by any means necessary!”
