Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 392 I don't want to kill people

From the prime minister's residence to the return to the palace, Wang Quan has been thinking about Pei Xiang's words.

He didn't understand why Pei Xiang insisted on Shen Wenqing's life, maybe Pei Xiang felt that this person was a threat, maybe Pei Xiang wanted him to prove something with this.

However, since Prime Minister Pei proposed it, Wang Quan must do it. It is not difficult to kill Shen Wenqing, but the difficulty is that Shen Wenqing's death cannot alarm those hidden guards, let alone let the hidden guards send the news to Yaozhou.

If the empress knew that Shen Wenqing was dead, she would definitely rush back to the imperial capital immediately.

Back in the room where he lived in the palace, Wang Quan sat for a while before making up his mind, and went to a small, secluded palace in the west of the imperial garden, where he used to connect with the spies placed beside the queen. The place.

Half an hour later, when the slender woman with steady and calm steps stepped into the room, Wang Quan immediately greeted her.

"Li Si, why did it take you so long to come?"

That woman is Aunt Zhong!
Wang Quan said impatiently.

"There are a lot of chores in the palace, and I have to avoid other people. I'm afraid of being found out, so I'm a little late."

Aunt Zhong paused for a moment, then asked softly, "You called me here, and it's so solemn, did something happen?"

Her tone of voice was extremely familiar and relaxed, as if she was very familiar with Wang Quan.

Wang Quan smiled, "Pei Xiang agreed, but he put forward a condition."

Aunt Zhong's eyes flickered slightly, "What conditions?"

"He wants Shen Wenqing's life."

Aunt Zhong's pupils shrank suddenly, her expression was a little ugly, "You asked me to come, do you want me to kill Mr. Shen?"

"You are the empress's man, Shen Wenqing is not on guard against you, and he lives in the empress's bedroom, and you are taking care of his food and tea. It is very easy for you to kill him with poison."

Seeing Aunt Zhong frowned and said nothing, Wang Quan's eyes turned cold, and his voice became a little cold, "Li Si, don't you want to go back on your word?"

He directly called Aunt Zhong by her boudoir name, and Aunt Zhong glanced at him unhappy, "At first you asked me to help you return to the palace, and I did, but now you want me to help you kill people, I don't want to kill people!"

"You don't want to kill anyone? Then how did Aunt Hongyu die? You didn't do anything to deliberately stir up conflicts between her and her subordinates, and let the two women fight violently, but also secretly. That's why Hongyu died so neatly. What? You were able to kill people in order to show your loyalty to the queen, but now you can't?"

Wang Quan's complexion was very ugly, and Aunt Zhong's complexion was even uglier. She glared at Wang Quan angrily and said, "Wang Quan, I did it to get close to the queen. My purpose of getting close to the queen is also In order to be able to speak in front of the queen, to help you return to the palace, and to help you gain the trust of the queen."

"Li Si, you speak so nicely, who are you coaxing? You helped me go back to the palace and become the chief executive because I promised you to avenge you! Eight years ago, the carriage of the empress dowager's family ran over and killed you Your fiancé, but the murderer only paid a few taels of silver because of the protection of the queen mother, and there was no punishment. You hate the murderer and the queen mother, so you entered the palace and wanted to take revenge. Who knows that the queen mother helped the queen ascend the throne Afterwards, I left the palace and went to practice in a Buddhist temple. As a maid who just entered the palace, you have no power, no connections, and no way out of the palace, let alone revenge."

Wang Quan talked too much in one breath, and he was a little out of breath. He took a breath, and then continued, "I helped you get a foothold in the palace, and I helped you become a teaching mother. Li Si, without me, it is impossible for you to become the director of the Ministry of Rites within six years, let alone be favored by the empress, it can be said that you depend on me for everything."

Aunt Zhong remained silent and did not refute Wang Quan's words.

Wang Quan is well versed in the principle of a big stick and a sweet date. After overwhelming Aunt Zhong with the kindness of the past, he said earnestly, "Li Si, you want to take revenge and deal with the queen mother, but the queen mother is too tall and the emperor is far away. Why don't you help me?" I deal with the empress, the empress is the only daughter of the empress dowager, if the empress has an accident, the empress dowager feels pain like a prick in her heart, do you think this is the reason, when your fiancé passed away, were you heartbroken and wished to die?"

Aunt Zhong's expression turned cold, "Didn't I help you all the time? Otherwise, how would you know that the Queen's people have been searching for His Highness the Crown Prince? If it wasn't for my credit, His Highness the Crown Prince would have been found by the Queen's hidden guards?"

"Yes, yes, you have the most credit, Li Si, am I afraid that you will be shaken? Since you are not wavering, then everything will be easy. Prime Minister Pei has promised us that as soon as Shen Wenqing dies, he will take action immediately. There are [-] to [-] troops in the palace, which can maintain the stability of the imperial capital, and when the time comes, we will use the Tiger Talisman to ask General Zhong Mo to bring a large army into Beijing to defend the new emperor, and the empress's strength is not a concern at all."

Wang Quan said with a smile, but said in his heart, old woman, if it weren't for the sake of your usefulness, the manager would have cut off your head long ago, too lazy to spare your life.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, will the empress be all right?"

Aunt Zhong's tone was a bit hesitant, Wang Quan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Of course nothing will happen, after all, she is the sister of His Royal Highness, the only family member, His Royal Highness just wants to get back his own things, as for the Queen, she She was originally a princess, and His Royal Highness will let her be a princess again, as long as she behaves well and does not make trouble, His Royal Highness will not make things difficult for her."

The prince is just an eight-year-old child, what can he understand?
Of course he didn't want to kill people, but children still have to listen to adults.

Wang Quanke never thought of letting Her Majesty off, if this woman doesn't die, who knows how big the waves will be?
It's just that Wang Quan knew exactly what Aunt Zhong wanted to hear.

Seeing that Aunt Zhong was still hesitating, Wang Quan continued, "The queen mother is most proud of helping her daughter to the throne. If the queen is kicked out of that position, the queen mother must be so uncomfortable that she wants to die. Your revenge is considered revenge. Besides Now, once the new emperor ascends the throne, I will have power in my hand, and I will definitely help you get the queen mother out of the Buddhist temple, and let you deal with her, and then you can torture her as you want."

Wang Quan stayed in the palace for decades, served two generations of emperors, and was best at talking to people and talking nonsense.

Aunt Zhong was a little moved by what he said, but she still insisted on not letting go, "So, you must want me to kill Mr. Shen? Mr. Shen is not in the way, he is just a frail scholar..."

Seeing that he had said so much, Aunt Zhong still refused to compromise, a cold light flashed in Wang Quan's eyes, "You don't want to?"

Aunt Zhong remained silent, Wang Quan concealed the coldness in his eyes, sighed and said, "Forget it, you and I have known each other for many years, and you have helped me a lot. Since you don't want to, I won't force you. Get someone else to do it."

Aunt Zhong looked at Wang Quan in surprise. She was not stupid. She also knew what kind of person Wang Quan was. Wang Quan was definitely not someone who would give up so quickly.

"Of course, I'll give you one night. If you haven't done it before dawn tomorrow, I'll let someone else do it. Anyway, Shen Wenqing must die!"

Aunt Zhong gave Wang Quan a deep look, and Wang Quan let her look at him without blinking, as if his heart was full of magnanimity.

Aunt Zhong frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, and I can't turn back. I'll help you kill Master Shen! Anyway, Master Shen is going to die, and he might feel better if he dies in my hands. "

Hearing this, Wang Quan said that a bright smile appeared on his face as white as powder, but because of his aging and loose flesh, the flower was squeezed into a dried chrysanthemum, which looked a bit oozing.

"Since you've figured it out, it's easy to handle. Let me just say, you will definitely help me, right?"

Aunt Zhong smiled, didn't say anything, just asked softly, "What do you want me to do?"

Wang Quan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, "It contains a colorless, odorless and extremely poisonous poison. Just one drop can make people bleed from the seven orifices and die from poisoning. You put this thing in Shen Wenqing's mouth." In the soup, he will surely die without anyone noticing."

Aunt Zhong took the porcelain bottle and was about to put it into her bosom when Wang Quan warned again, "This thing is very poisonous, you must be careful, don't harm others and poison yourself to death."

Aunt Zhong frowned. She didn't like to hear Wang Quan's words, but she didn't say anything. She carefully put the small porcelain bottle into her arms and walked towards the door.

Just a few steps away, Aunt Zhong suddenly heard Wang Quan's voice behind her.

"Li Si."

Just as Aunt Zhong turned her head, she saw a cold light flash in front of her eyes. Before she could react, a dagger was stabbed hard into her lower abdomen.
