Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 393 Perhaps, Just a Pawn

The second wave of assassinations took place during the daytime of the third day.

Yes, it is daytime.

This belongs to the daring of high-tech people.

A master of disguise.

Putting down the maid from the Princess Mansion, she changed her appearance, went in secretly, and poisoned Ji Hanhao's soup.

When he was leaving the mansion, in order to avoid the investigation of the Imperial Forest Army, he made some small mistakes, and was followed by Xiao Jian.

Xiao Da's bodyguard, he thought to himself that the second master of Su Wang's mansion was also the most daring one with high skills.

Follow quietly, want to see where she will go?

……

In the palace, Dongfang Hao was reading a memorial.

It is the letter of the Northern Kingdom handed down by the Ministry of Rites: Lin Yinjing ascended the throne and invited envoys from the Dayu Kingdom to the Northern Kingdom to discuss state affairs.

This is customary.

When the new monarch ascends the throne, neighboring countries will go to watch the ceremony, send congratulatory letters, emphasize bilateral friendly relations, discuss cooperation intentions, and so on.

It's just that this is a usurper.

Moreover, Dayu Kingdom also has a son-in-law surnamed Ji who is clamoring to fight back and take back the throne of the Northern Kingdom.

Now, is it promoting orthodoxy?Or go with the flow?
This attitude is definitely not good.

The Ministry of Rites kicked the ball up and asked the emperor to make a conclusion.

Dongfang Hao reviewed the memorial, and the ball fell into his hands.

He frowned, tapped his fingers lightly on the memorial, and there were many complicated emotions floating in his bottomless black eyes.

If the Dayu Kingdom chooses to push the boat along the way and let Lin Yinjing take over the Beidi Kingdom in a stable way, will this matter subside?
Although on the surface, it would be so.

But he was skeptical and always felt that things would not be that simple.

Situ Tianyu told him before that the Northland Kingdom was undergoing a rotation of troops.If it had been under the control of Wu Kingdom, this rotation of troops might have been ordered by Lin Yinjing.

What does he want to do?

Is it to dispatch troops to successfully win the throne?Or is there a bigger conspiracy?
You must know that although the national power of the Northern Kingdom is not as strong as that of the Dayu Kingdom, its cavalry is fierce.The war attack power index of the two countries is not as big as the difference in GDP.

The pupils are getting tighter and tighter.

As a candidate for the next emperor, Dongfang Hao naturally has a sense of responsibility and mission for his family, country and society.

When things came to an end, he had to consider both the best outcome and the worst outcome.

Of course, the final decision is still up to the emperor.

After taking the memorial, he went to the apse.

The Prince of Filial Piety was so determined in the morning and evening that he would come into the palace to chat with the emperor every day.They don't talk about state affairs, they are full of gossip, and they make jokes about those bad things when they were young.

"Brother Huang, why did you say that I was just looking for things like this at that time? If there is nothing wrong, I can always make things happen. Then I let the little eunuch next to me cover the bag. One time, my father was annoyed, and I got rid of it." I went to the punishment room for a spanking, oops, it hurts so much, my butt cramp just thinking about it now... It’s been years since I dared to go in the direction of the punishment room.”

"Is it useful? Why don't you still get into trouble? Even Fu Hai helped you out."

"That's right, Prince Filial Piety, the old slave's buttocks are cramping when he thinks about that."

……

One servant and two masters chatted very happily.

Thinking of those things in his childhood, Dongfang Guiyi's head didn't hurt so much anymore.The corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled happily.

"Yo, Prince Su is here."

In fact, Fu Hai had seen Dongfang Hao a long time ago, and when the topic fell, he passed it on for him.

Dongfang Guiyi raised his eyes, with a smile on his lips, "Hao'er, what's the matter?"

Dongfang Hao made a salute, "The new emperor of the Northland Kingdom has ascended the throne, sent a letter of credence, and asked to send envoys to each other."

"The face is really big." Dongfang Muyi called out.

Dongfang Gui remained silent, gently stroking his forehead with his fingers, pursed his lips, and thought slowly.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "What do you think of Hao'er?"

Dongfang Hao said in a low voice, "Sending an envoy is acknowledging Lin's surname in the Northern Kingdom, and I think it's inappropriate."

"Lin Yinjing's occupation of the Northland Kingdom has become a fact, Hao'er thinks that the surname Ji still has a chance to restore the country?" Dongfang Guiyi's eyes were sharp, and he swept over him.

"I'm worried that Lin Yinjing has ill intentions towards Dayu, and I want to take another look." Dongfang Hao's face was expressionless, and he spoke succinctly.

"Malicious?" Dongfang Guiyi became serious.

"Situ Tianyu told my ministers that the border guards of the Northland Kingdom have abnormal dispatches, and they suspect that they have sinister intentions." Dongfang Hao's eyes were deep.

Dongfang Guiyi pondered.

"Yesterday, Minister of the Ministry of War, Cui Wenlian, entered the palace to discuss state affairs with me, but he didn't mention the situation in this regard. Did Hao'er worry too much?"

Dongfang Hao's eyes tightened, and his voice was cold, "Lin Yinjing, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, easily took over the Beidi Kingdom. There are only scattered news about the Dayu Kingdom. There is no early warning, and there is no outstanding information in the middle. The Ministry of War...isn't it Too stable? Erchen... also worried."

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Muyi let out a breath of air, "Nephew, are you suspicious of Cui Wenlian? He was the one who notified Wu Lingqi's relationship with the Chu family in advance, so that the emperor could set up a hunting ground and wipe out the Chu family's chaotic party. "

Dongfang Hao was silent.

After a long time, he raised his eyes, his face was silent, and his tone was even more slow, "Compared with the great achievements of the Northern Kingdom, Wu Lingqi may be just a pawn."

……

The streets of Suzaku Street were as lively as ever.

There are many shops and wine flags flying.

The sunlight shines brightly on the cornices of the green tiles and white walls of the pavilions.Walking on the street, there are calm and smiling faces, reflecting people's self-satisfaction in this prosperous age of central and central China.

Stores selling women's clothes and jewelry are always sought after.

Women in all kinds of dresses are pulled in and pulled out. It is obvious that no matter what life, women's money is the best to earn.

Xiao Jian stood outside a clothing store, frowning tightly.The woman has been in for some time and hasn't come out yet.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his heart was not good.

Is there a back door.

He rushed in quickly.

There were several young ladies standing in the store, and suddenly saw a handsome man rushing in, his face was flushed with blush.

You boldly reproached, "Brother guard, it's not right for you to rush in like this."

Xiao Jian's face also turned red, and he bowed his hands in salute, "I have official business, so I offended everyone, I'm really sorry."

"Are you looking for someone?" For handsome guys, women are very tolerant.

"Have you seen a green-shirted maid come in?" he asked.

"She stole things from the house." A fat woman in a palace shirt opened her almond eyes and chattered, "I don't think she looks like a good person. After she came in, she crowded into the corner over there. I don't know what to do. very?"

"Yeah, I saw it too. Later... she seems to have disappeared?" The woman in Tsing Yi blinked slightly, with a look of doubt on her face.

Xiao Jian strode forward and picked up a green shirt from that corner.

Eyes tightened, did that guy change his clothes?

He raised his voice, "Shopkeeper, is there a back door here?"

"Yes, you can see it when you go straight, the guest officer." The shopkeeper of the tailor shop was too busy to look at him, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

……

In the back street, gusts of alley wind blow.

Xiao Jian carefully looked at the traces on the side of the road. This woman is not only a master of cross-dressing, but also a master of destroying traces.

His brows were furrowed tightly, and he stared suspiciously ahead.

Not far away... is Chu Sijiu's gallery.
