Chapter 345 The News Spreads
The little emperor was poisoned and his time was running out. I'm afraid there are few people in the entire capital who don't know about it. This is not a secret.

Mrs. Cao nodded and said: "Before your eldest brother got married, the Queen Mother of the West asked me to enter the palace. From that tone, she must have some intention of supporting you. If it is a national mourning, I will just ask your uncle and grandfather to support the Queen Mother of the West. When the time comes, Maybe it’s your help.”

Lin Shan's eyes brightened, then dimmed again.

In my mother's natal family, the highest-ranking official was my grandfather, who was only the fifth-rank supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

Although he has some real power, it is not the most important job. Even if he is on the side of Queen Mother Sheng, what can he do?
The Queen Mother of the West has the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, the Royal Forest Army, and a small Shanglinyuan Supervisor. What big use can it serve?
How could Mr. Cao not know what Lin Shan was thinking?
The two fell silent.

Yin Ling suddenly opened the curtain and came in, leaned next to Cao and said: "Princess, Li Feng, the head of Shunwei Escort Bureau, is missing! The person in custody is also missing!"

"what?!"

Ms. Cao stood up in shock.

Lin Shan looked at the two of them in surprise. The sound of the silver bell was too soft, and he was only at the fifth level, so he couldn't hear it clearly.

Yin Ling said solemnly: "The news that just came is unmistakable."

Ms. Cao fell heavily back into her chair. After Nanny Chen disappeared, she ordered someone to go to the Shunwei Escort Agency, but she didn't expect that even Liefeng had disappeared.

Thinking that Grandma Chen might not have disappeared this morning, but might have disappeared together with Li Feng, she felt bad.

Lin Shan asked: "Mom, what's going on?"

Mrs. Cao glanced at Yin Ling, waved her hand to leave, and then said to Lin Shan:
"Shunwei Escort Agency, do you know?"

Seeing Lin Shan nodding, Ms. Cao continued: "Shunwei Escort Agency is... a secret dowry from the Changsun family, and later passed into my hands. The head of the family, Liefeng, was also picked up by the Changsun family and kept in the Shunwei Escort Agency. Learn your skills.”

She paused, took a sip of tea, and calmed her mind before continuing: "After the Shunwei Escort Agency came into my hands, my family and the escorts were always dissatisfied with me. Later, I knew this Liefeng was highly skilled in martial arts and had a vague intention of being better than the head of Shunwei Escort, so he secretly asked Nanny Chen to get in touch with Liefeng and mislead him that it was Changsun who killed his parents."

Lin Shan frowned and asked, "Liefeng actually believed it?"

Cao said: "When Changsun was in her boudoir, she once raped a family of slaves. That family met bandits when they left the capital, and the whole family was killed. There was no evidence of their death. I coaxed Liefeng to say that he was that family's child."

Lin Shan somewhat admired his mother's backyard skills.

Ms. Cao continued: "Mama Chen was young at that time, and Liefeng was a passionate young man. He lacked maternal love, so he was very attracted to Mammy Chen. The two had a passionate life for two years, and Liefeng also listened very much. Aunt Chen's words, so I used some means to help Liefeng rise to the top and become the new head of Shunwei Escort Agency.

"It's just that later, Granny Chen met his current husband, and the two fell out."

Lin Shan probably understood, but still didn't know why Lie Feng was missing.

Ms. Cao said: "I can only tell you about this matter. You must be careful not to leak it out."

Lin Shan nodded.

Ms. Cao lowered her voice even lower and said, "I have something important to do. There is a witness who has been detained at Liefeng's place for ten years. It turns out that Grandma Chen went to Shunwei Escort yesterday to ask Liefeng to kill him. Yes. But I didn’t expect the two of them to disappear together!”

Lin Shan immediately knew the seriousness of this matter and asked hurriedly: "What about the imprisoned person?"

Mr. Cao's face turned even worse and he said, "He's also missing."

Lin Shan's eyes darkened and he said, "Mother, what is this important matter? Can you tell your son?"

Ms. Cao weighed it over and over in her mind, but finally shook her head and said, "It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that it has too much to do and you don't know."

Lin Shan looked at Mr. Cao hesitantly for a while, and then said, "Well, what's important now is to find these people."

Ms. Cao nodded and said, "It's easy for you to do things outside. I can rest assured that I'll leave this matter to you. Just remember not to alert the enemy." Lin Shan nodded, drank a cup of tea, and hurried away.

After Lin Shan left, Ms. Cao leaned weakly on the back of her chair, her face pale.

If these people were kidnapped by Lin Xiao or Yang Mu, I am afraid that as a princess, I would be done with it. How can I fight for the right to feed?
When the Cao family and Lin Shan were conspiring, "Concubine Shu and her young highness moved to the palace."

and "Yang Mu was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Suzaku Army" were two major pieces of news that spread throughout the government and the military.

The first person to be shocked was the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

The two queen mothers, who are only in their 20s and are very charming, look at me and I look at you, both of them have expressions of "I missed the calculation".

Empress Dowager Tao asked, "What are your plans, sister?"

Empress Dowager Sheng took a deep breath. She disliked Yang Mu even more than Empress Dowager Tao.

"What else can we do? The empress dowager personally issued the edict, and the empress dowager's edict from you and me cannot cover it up."

Empress Dowager Tao thought for a moment and said, "Unless an edict is issued."

The so-called Mingfa edict means that the imperial edict is stamped with the emperor's imperial seal and sent to prefectures and counties across the country.

But for a Suzaku Army of 1 people, there was no need to fall out with the Empress Dowager.

If it was for Concubine Shu and Little Jing Wang Li You, it would be even more unnecessary.

Li You left the palace and moved to the palace, which was Yang Yi's attitude towards the two queen mothers, indicating that she and the young prince would not participate in the fight for the throne.

If Yang Yi gives in and something goes wrong with the little prince, the Yang family will probably go crazy.

The two of them would not do anything that was not worth the loss.

Empress Dowager Tao was silent for a moment and said, "Sister, let's think about which of the royal nephews will be brought to live in the palace."

Apparently she has given up competing with the Empress Dowager.

Queen Mother Sheng took a deep breath and said with a hint of anger on her face: "I gave them an advantage!"

They are talking about Yang Mu and Yang Yi.

……

After receiving the news, the Regent's Palace was both happy and surprised.

Regent Li Yao did not expect that Concubine Shu would voluntarily give up Li You's idea of ​​seizing the throne and move to the palace.

What I didn't even expect was that the Suzaku Army, which disappeared decades ago, still existed!
Moreover, once there is an army to protect Concubine Shu and her son, it will be basically impossible for him to eradicate the root cause.

After Li Yao wandered around the study for a long time, he decided to go to the palace and discuss with his mother, the Dowager Princess, what to do next.

After entering the palace, the Crown Princess was pruning flower branches. When she saw Li Yao coming in, she smiled lightly and said, "Are you free?"

Li Yao knew that his mother was talking about his original intention to marry Chen Yuhe, so he smiled sheepishly and saluted, "Concubine, my son has something to discuss with my concubine."

The Crown Princess smiled helplessly, placed her small scissors on the tray held by the palace maid, and then waved her hand for everyone to leave.
