The little wife of the general's family is cruel and flirtatious

Chapter 177 Counting against Emperor Shengde

That night, more than a dozen carriages pulled out from King Zhao's mansion and merged into the darkness.

At the darkest hour in the early morning, half of the sky in Zhongzhou City was suddenly dyed red. Chu Qingyun looked at the raging fire in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and smiled with the corner of her mouth upturned.

Before that, he had sent away all the servants of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the person who delivered the gunpowder to Lord Gao Ting escaped at some point, which surprised Chu Qingyun.

He remembered that the day he rescued Chu Qiuchi, the masked man in black was obviously hiding among the servants. He was tall and tall and could be recognized at a glance, but Chu Qingyun's heart was on Chu Qiuchi's injury that day, and he didn't care at all. Go ahead and ask that person what happened.

Now all the servants in the mansion have been sent away by him, only this person has disappeared, which further shows that this person is not a simple businessman, maybe even he has a support person in Zhongzhou City.

Chu Qingyun Ming Xiaoyu paid attention to the tall figures wearing masks, and then watched the fun on the wall.

Only King Zhao and Lord Gao Ting were left in the mansion. The fire was so big that it burned for three hours, and there might not be even ash left.

Suddenly a heat wave hit, Chu Qingyun took a step back, seeing that the time was ripe, she immediately shouted: "Come on, it's flooded, put out the fire."

The unscrupulous guards and the surrounding people all moved, but today there was a strong wind, and the fire was raging fiercely, and it was about to burn to the fourth prince's side.

Chu Qingyun had a bad idea, don't hurt her chosen fourth prince because of these two trash.

"Everyone, Prince Zhao's Mansion has been turned into ruins, we can't let the Fourth Prince's Mansion fall into flames again."

Everyone immediately turned around, and buckets of water formed a water wall, blocking the fire from attacking the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

After tossing and tossing for two hours, the Fourth Prince's Mansion finally did not stand intact.

If the fourth prince is really burned to death, the Gao family will have no successors.

The news of the fire soon spread to the palace. Emperor Shengde had already obtained Chu Qingyun's secret letter, re-selected the fourth prince as his successor, and immediately abandoned the once beloved Lord Gao Ting, without even asking Eunuch Liu.

Not to mention the prince's side, they were happy to see the results, and they just put on a show to let Chu Qingyun quickly clean up the scene and find the corpses for burial.

Chu Qingyun randomly found a death row prisoner, burned the body and handed it over.

When a prince and the eldest grandson of the dynasty died, it just passed away in such a peaceful way, without any investigation, and even the date and ceremony of the burial were the simplest.

Chu Qingyun knows that the royal family is cold, but she has opened her eyes to this level.

She counted the days, the next time she saw Emperor Shengde, it should be summer already.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens prescribed by the ancestors was at that time. It is said that as long as the emperor is still alive, this offering to the heavens must be carried out. There was an emperor who was dying and had only one breath left.

At that time, Emperor Shengde will show kindness in public and implement a benevolent government.

This was his only chance to speak.

After thinking about it, Chu Qingyun must make good use of this opportunity so that the fourth prince can stand against the prince.

A lot of money and an army are essential, but popular expectations are the foundation of succession.

Before that, he had to convince Emperor Shengde to announce the fourth prince as regent on the day of the sacrifice.

That night, Chu Qingyun explored the imperial city at night, and Lu Jinzhou almost opened the gate on the east side of the imperial city, allowing Chu Qingyun to enter smoothly.

In the dark night, she went straight to Emperor Shengde's palace.

When she saw Emperor Shengde, Chu Qingyun was not surprised at all. The old man could not sit up anymore. Although the poison was cured, the damage was irreversible.

She saluted respectfully as before: "Your Majesty, Qingyun is late."

"Well, your matter...is done...ahem...very good." Emperor Sheng De paused three or four times after saying a word, Chu Qingyun pretended to be concerned and said: "Your Majesty, you must ensure the dragon body. "

"I just catch a cold occasionally, and I'm fine. I'll definitely get better next year...cough coughcough...kill all those unworthy descendants."

Chu Qingyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really too worried. The other princes, Qingyun, have little contact with each other and don't know much about them. But I know that the fourth prince is the most obedient."

"Well, although this child acts like Meng Lang, he was also influenced by Lu Jinzhou. In fact, he is still a good child. Since he was born, he has never had any disputes with others."

Chu Qingyun snorted coldly in her heart, that's because you didn't pay attention to him at all, the Fourth Prince was not valued since he was a child, and his character was weak, so he pretended not to care, and became what he is today.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingyun said bluntly: "I feel that the fourth prince's mother's family is weak, and it is difficult to compete with the prince now, and it is not even as thick as an arm of the prince."

"If you really want to balance the two, give His Majesty time to recover and regain control of the world, at the very least, you have to give the Fourth Prince enough status to contend with.",

"Name?"

"Naturally, the status of His Majesty the Fourth Prince's birth mother is still no more than a nobleman, and the Fourth Prince has not been crowned king. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult for him to be a big responsibility."

Emperor Shengde suddenly had the same eyes: "I understand what you said, and I will definitely give his mother the status she deserves."

"Your Majesty... what are your plans?"

"At the next sacrificial ceremony, I will take action."

Chu Qingyun succeeded, nodded immediately and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Fourth Prince is indeed an excellent candidate."

"I just don't know what name your Majesty will give the Fourth Prince?"

Emperor Shengde hesitated for a moment: "Qingyun thinks, is the position of regent good?"

Chu Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, and Emperor Shengde was really ruthless. He put the fourth prince on fire from the very beginning, without giving him any chance to buffer.

If this continues, the prince will definitely not give the fourth prince a chance to buffer.

Chu Qingyun hesitated and said: "Your Majesty is in a hurry with this move."

"It can't be delayed any longer. You're right. I don't have time to wait any longer."

Chu Qingyun knew that what he said was true, if this opportunity was missed, it would be even more difficult for the Fourth Prince to stand out.

It's just this difficult and dangerous move, but it must be done well.

Chu Qingyun looked at Emperor Shengde's lingering body, she wished that the old man would die in front of him immediately, but in order to support the fourth prince, the old man was still useful.

Chu Qingyun immediately took out a pill from her cuff: "Your Majesty, this is a qi and blood elixir that Chengru collected and refined from hundreds of herbs. Paying it can prolong life."

Eunuch Liu took the pill, and tears rolled in his eyes: "In this situation, only Master Chu is left, and he still thinks about His Majesty."

"Nonsense, I still have the hearts of the people, and I still have the world."

Chu Qingyun sneered, Minxin?world?
Emperor Sheng De's face is really big enough.

Her face was still as respectful as ever: "Your Majesty, there are too many eyes in the imperial city, and I should not stay for long."

"Back off, and be careful in everything."

Chu Qingyun pushed it out slowly, and quickly hid in the darkness.
