The concubine is so charming

Chapter 608 With hostages in hand, I have the world

Mu Cixiu had been on guard for a long time, and the imperial guards surrounded Su Yao's carriage heavily without disturbing her at all, while those assassins were directly killed on the spot, leaving no one alive.

From the beginning to the end of the assassination, it took only a quarter of an hour before and after, when Su Yao opened the carriage and saw corpses all over the floor.

Mu Cixiu stepped down from Luanjia, standing straight among the bloody ground, his eyes were particularly deep and cold: "Let someone investigate and dig out the roots of these people. No matter who they are, once they are found, they will be killed!"

The imperial guards quickly took orders: "Yes!"

Su Yao's eyes moved slightly, and before Mu Cixiu looked over, he raised his hand and lowered the curtain of the car.

Yufu had lingering fears: "Miss, why are these assassins coming after you?"

"Now the outside world regards me as a troublesome woman, so it's understandable to want to kill me."

Yufu snorted: "One day, these people will regret tearing out their own eyeballs!"

My young lady has paid so much, but the people in the world don't know about it, and instead regard her as a monster, and now even assassins have come out to kill her, and they don't know what the chaos will be like in the future.

Su Yao didn't feel anything: "Just let them go. After returning to the palace, invite sister Zhaoyu to come and sit in the palace. I can also ask her about the situation in each mansion."

"Yes, after the slaves go back, they will send a message."

On the second day after returning to the palace, Mu Zhaoyu took the initiative to hand over the sign to enter the palace without Su Yao going to invite her.

The emperor has no concubines, and only Su Yao can be called the master, so the sign was sent directly to Feiyu Pavilion, and Su Yao naturally invited Mu Zhaoyu in immediately.

Mu Zhaoyu walked into the Feiyu Pavilion, looked Su Yao up and down while saluting, and saw that she was safe and well, and then he was relieved: "I heard that you encountered an assassin on the way back from praying yesterday, I have been worrying about it in my heart and can't let it go, but fortunately there is nothing wrong."

Su Yao hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mu Zhaoyu's hand: "Sister Zhaoyu, sit down quickly and say, you are in double body now, so you can't be tired."

Seeing that Su Yao was safe and sound, the smile on Mu Zhaoyu's face relaxed a lot. When he mentioned the child at this time, his smile was full of sweetness: "Now that the child is still young, why do you feel tired? I think your complexion has also improved a lot. , not as sullen as before, let me tell you, no matter what, you have to think about it, your body is the most important thing."

"Thank you, sister Zhaoyu, for your forgiveness. I invited my sister into the palace this time because I want to discuss something with you."

"If you need my help, just ask." Mu Zhaoyu quickly cheered up and signaled the maid beside her to go outside to guard.

Yufu brought the teacup and stepped back lightly.

"I want my sister to help me find out how many young ladies are of the right age to be married in the families of officials above the third rank in the capital. Among them, there are some who are particularly favored. The daughters of the prostitutes are not allowed, and the daughters of the concubines are also acceptable."

Mu Zhaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then asked puzzledly, "What is Yao Er investigating these things for?"

"I'm bored in the palace, so I simply hold a talent show and let those ladies come into the palace to play with me."

"This... the emperor can agree?" In the past three years, in order to send their daughters into the palace, those officials did not know how much thought they had spent. The memorandum of the papers alone was enough to fill up several big boxes, but the emperor didn't care about it at all. Impressed, with an appearance of pure heart and asceticism, now that Yao'er has finally been brought into the palace, it is even more impossible to look down on others.

Su Yao smiled lightly: "I have already obtained the consent of the emperor, he said that I can do it myself."

"Yao'er, what purpose do you want to achieve with this incident? In my opinion, you have never been an innocent person."

The corners of Su Yao's lips smiled strongly: "It's my elder sister who is smart. This time, no matter who you are, you can enter the palace as long as you want to participate. Then, I will keep all these people in the palace."

Mu Zhaoyu thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yao Er, do you want to use this to restrain the officials in the court?"

"The last meeting was in a hurry, and I didn't explain many things clearly to my sister. Yinzheng, a maiden born in southern Xinjiang, secretly planned revenge, and was then used by the emperor. Many officials in the court were bewitched, although it was not like The rumored Gu poison is so miraculous, but it can also control their lives. That's why the officials in the court obey the emperor's orders. After this period of research, my grandfather has found a way to get rid of the Gu insects. Method."

"So that's the case, let me just say that most of the officials in the imperial court are ignorant, and whichever side is the wind is going to fall. I didn't expect that after Mu Cixiu fell into Liangzhou City, they would be so loyal and loyal at any cost. The emperor must also be taken out, so the root cause is here. Sister Yao'er, I understand what you mean, and I will make a list later to ensure that all the prostitutes and prostitutes on the list are complete."

"Thank you so much, sister."

"You and I don't have to be polite. By the way, Yao Er, you have to be extra careful. Those officials are difficult to deal with. For their own future and power, they can even abandon and betray their own daughters, so they should be extremely careful. good."

"Well, I'll be extra careful."

The news that the emperor finally agreed to start the talent show swept through the capital in an instant, and the officials were happy and sad. No matter what they thought in their hearts, once the imperial edict was issued, there was no room for them to violate it.

The draft was held in a hurry, and all the official residences began to buy cloth, jewelry and other items in a big way for a while, which made the capital a little more lively.

Yingyi sent another letter from Chu Feiyan.

After reading the letter, Su Yao felt more relaxed.

"Miss, is there any good news?"

"With Mr. Xiang here, it's much easier for me to do anything here. Mr. Xiang has already begun to contact those officials in private. Tomorrow, if a beautiful girl enters the palace, if a large number of people come, they will know how to stand in line."

"The Prime Minister is in the dark, and the young lady is in the bright. If we cooperate internally and externally, and the husband and wife work together, we will naturally get twice the result with half the effort." Yufu put the soup in her hand next to Su Yao, "Miss, drink the medicine while it is hot. Go out for a walk?"

"Okay, just take a look at the place where Xiunu will be tested tomorrow, and get familiar with it in advance."

After drinking the decoction, Su Yao ate several candied fruit in a row, and then he felt relieved, then put on his cloak, and walked out of Feiyu Pavilion.

The venue for the selection was the Xiefang Hall, which was spacious and surrounded by green cypresses, and the scenery was particularly elegant.

Su Yao took two steps and saw a person kneeling on the ground, picking up the pine needles that fell on the ground with his hands.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the body of the person kneeling to pick up pine needles trembled slightly, as if he was extremely frightened, and quickly touched his head to the ground, as if he wanted to turn himself into a speck of dust, so as to be ignored by others.

Su Yao looked at it seriously for a while, then blinked lightly: "Empress Dowager?"
