The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 172 Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Chapter 172 Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Rong Li put down her left hand that had been pressing on her right shoulder, and casually took off the arrow on it. She picked up the feather arrow from the ground, and kept holding it with her hand to prevent it from falling off. A woman can make people relax their vigilance. Not to mention a wounded woman.

This move was nothing more than a cover-up, thanks to the fact that the leading man is not a meddlesome person, no one was able to heal her.

The bright red blood stains on the clothes were really hers, the arrow feathers scratched the skin on her arms before, but it was just a small injury that Rongli didn't take to heart.

Rong Li sat on the hard plank bed and thought carefully, the temporary safety is because of the 10 taels of silver, and she will definitely be in danger when she sees the silver.

In the carriage before, the leader seemed very afraid that she would die. Didn't the person who paid the money say that he would buy her life?
Then why is he afraid of dying?
Some couldn't figure it out, there must be something she had overlooked.

After a while, an idea roughly appeared in her mind.

The person in charge probably wasn't afraid of her death, but was afraid that she would die in Beijing!
If she guessed correctly, the employer let these bandits take her life, but the capital is at the feet of the emperor after all, and the one who robbed was the daughter of an important minister. If she died in the capital, the emperor would inevitably order a strict investigation to stabilize the hearts of the ministers.

If she didn't die in the capital, but was robbed by gangsters, then there is still room for reversal of the matter. As long as she is not dead, there is a possibility of finding her.

Sending people to find the robbers is obviously more restrictive than finding the murderer. After all, the safety of the hostages is the most important thing.

Besides, now that she is in their hands, their bargaining chips will be a little bit more, even if they are discovered, they will not be too passive.

If she died, it would be very bad.

Rong Li lowered his head and tore off a cloth towel from the sleeve of his clean shirt, and bandaged himself.

While bandaging her, she thought, at least for a moment and a half, her life will be safe. Now that the sky is bright, if she is to be transferred with her, night will fall anyway.

Now that the purpose of the robbers is clear, who is the employer?
Why do you have to get rid of her?

In the memory of the original owner, apart from Mu Xuerou, he had no enemies, Rongli was the first to get rid of Mu Xuerou, if she could make waves inside the mansion, but outside the mansion, she doesn't have that much energy.

Besides, she has nothing to do with Xia Houxian now, there is no need for Mu Xuerou to take such a big risk.

What about Xia Hou title?

It does not rule out his suspicion, after all, it is better to get rid of women who cannot get them. Although this is not applicable to everyone, it is not impossible for some stubborn people. Xia Houlian is such a person.

However, when Rong Li thought of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, he looked at himself, suddenly, hurt, and blamed himself without any hatred, and the possibility of him is not very high.

Then there are princes from all walks of life, these days, the threshold of her family will be broken, as long as there are princes who don't have a concubine, they will come here once.

Although Rong Li stayed in the Yurong Courtyard every day, she still only knew about the affairs in the front yard. Those princes naturally took a fancy to her natal family behind her, and frequently threw out all kinds of temptations, wanting to marry her back to the manor.

Because of this matter, Xia Houxiang made a lot of shame, and wanted to take action to rectify it, but was stopped by Rongli.

Marriage pays attention to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Her father and mother are watching in front of her, so what kind of trouble does he follow?

It's really not worthwhile to spend effort for these irrelevant people.

After hearing her words, Xia Houxiang retreated so angry that there were not even sparks left.

That's right, those are irrelevant people, he is Li'er's own person.

Thinking about it this way, I feel much happier.

The battle between princes has always been complicated. It is not impossible to send someone to take her away, but the result should not be to kill her.

It shouldn't be to destroy her innocence, who doesn't know that she is married for the second time, and the original owner has innocence, but others don't know it.

Therefore, the possibility of this matter being done by the princes is also greatly reduced.

Who is that?
If you want to get rid of her, it must be because your own existence is blocking that person's way.

Rong Li stroked his chin and thought carefully, whose way was her existence blocking?

Mu Xuerou...the lord...Xiahou title...

Queen!

Rong Li suddenly realized, she understood!
Her reconciliation with Xiahoulian was far beyond the queen's control, and the family behind her could no longer be the support for Xiahoulian's succession in the future.

On the contrary, the frequent actions of the princes from all walks of life have proved that if she chooses which prince to marry, the hope of which prince will inherit the great rule will be a little higher.

The queen only had one son like Xia Houxian, so she naturally didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

Therefore, the queen must get rid of her.

No one can get her, that is the best ending.

It's just why the queen knew the bandits and let the bandits do it?

The queen's natal family was not very good, and they were not favored by everyone when the emperor and the queen were still princes and concubines. Although the emperor was not mediocre at that time, he might not be very patient, and the queen's natal family could not do anything, so his Succession will be beyond everyone's expectations.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he has always stabilized the hearts of his courtiers. He tried his best to win over all the courtiers who are beneficial to the country, and he did his best to govern the country, so gradually, the courtiers gradually let go of the matter of succession.

Anyway, it's their family's business, they don't care too much, the emperor is not stupid and the people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as they are ministers, they do their jobs well, no matter how mediocre Xia Houzan is, he is still the son of the former emperor.

Xia Houzan is very cautious, he firmly controls the imperial guards in his own hands, he can only obey him alone, even the dragon and tiger talisman passed down from generation to generation does not work.

The imperial guards guard the imperial city, and all the guards in Beijing are led by the imperial guards.

In the past, although the Imperial Guards were responsible for protecting the imperial city and the emperor, they also obeyed the orders of the Dragon and Tiger Talisman. It was the first one to firmly hold power like Xia Houzan.

However, whoever becomes the emperor has the final say on the rules of the game.

The imperial guards were supposed to protect the royal family. Although Xia Houzan had consolidated his power, it was not inappropriate, so the courtiers had no objection.

Although the queen has confidantes in the palace, she is at most a palace eunuch. She has a son, and the emperor is afraid that his son will grow up to be alienated, so he will not relax at all in the only military power in the capital that he can control.

Therefore, the queen cannot command the guards in the palace, or the imperial guards.

And her natal family, although there are guards in the palace, their martial arts qualifications are naturally not comparable to those of the orthodox ones in the imperial city. Moreover, if they use their own people, there will be no mistakes, and they will expose her as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Bandits are the most difficult to restrain and discipline. Even a brave and skilled fighter like Zhan Wang will inevitably neglect the scattered bandits around the capital.

Therefore, it is safest to use bandits to act.

I'm afraid that the employer this time doesn't even know who it is. It's hard to find out that the queen is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

This is the safest way for the empress, as long as she doesn't die in the capital and disappears forever, she can fulfill the empress' wish.

As for who will do it and how to do it, the queen doesn't care at all.

As long as she can be alone she's fine.
