Red makeup against the world

Chapter 812 Agreed
King Qi bid farewell to Fang Shuyu, returned to the palace and sat in the study, only feeling depressed.Walking around the room for a few times, thinking of going to the backyard, and remembering that Princess Qi went to see off the soul and hadn't returned to the mansion, she sat down again.

"My lord, my lord Chu sent someone to send me a single copy, saying that my lord, you have been looking for it for a long time."

"Orphan?" King Qi's heart shook, this was a secret signal he had agreed with King Chu, and it was not used for non-important situations. "Send it in quickly."

Could it be that Princess Chu discovered something else?He didn't have to wait too long before he had an answer.

King Qi took a piece of paper and read it several times before he was convinced of the news.

The prince wants to murder his father?King Qi concealed the shock in his heart, and he quickly issued a few orders to make the people he gathered secretly stand by.

In the end, he hesitated and turned back and forth a few times.The expression on his face fluctuated from hesitation to firmness, and he finally made up his mind to stand by and watch this matter.

Father, he is your most beloved son.You must be willing to die at his hands!I am under house arrest by you, even if I want to protect you, how dare I disobey your orders!

King Qi lowered his eyes, he had already decided to wait for the crown prince's affairs to be completed, and then surrounded the palace to kill the crown prince in the name of avenging his father.

……

Imperial City, Changle Palace.

Empress Cao smiled lightly after hearing Shanmei's reply.

After many years, has she finally returned to the palace?What is the emperor's plan to bring her back at this time?Could it be that it is to support the prince?
She also thought that after so many years of husband and wife, even if they were hard-hearted, they could keep him warm.Unfortunately, she still overestimated Emperor Qinglong's ruthlessness.

Could it be that his gentle words to him in the past two years were just paving the way for her return?Then how should I deal with myself who is in the way, is it a glass of poisoned wine or a three-foot white silk?
Empress Cao looked at her newly dyed nails with Koudan.This pair of well-maintained hands can't see fine lines, that's because the fine lines are engraved on the heart!

Quietly pick Jiang Bingwei back, do you really think you won't know?

Empress Cao's expression made Shanmei startled. "Your Majesty, the servant girl saw that she entered the palace quietly. Most likely she will also be sent out quietly, so please don't worry about it, Your Majesty."

Empress Cao smiled coldly, even Shanmei herself would not believe this.Jiang Bingwei was abolished by the late emperor himself, and now he took so much effort to bring it back, is it just to send it away quietly?

Forget it, after so many years, what do you care about?No matter what his plan is, she will fight hard for the sake of the children.

"Princess Chu, please see me," said the palace man outside.

"See."

Concubine Chu didn't go to see off the spirit today, but Tingting came in gracefully, with an indescribably charming expression in every gesture.Even though Empress Cao often saw her, she felt that she had a different style every time.

After Zhaoyang left, he handed over the news network in his hands to Princess Chu.It is very normal for a daughter-in-law to enter the palace to visit her mother, and it is more convenient than the king of Chu entering the palace.

Due to the death of the Crown Princess, Princess Chu was dressed in plain brocade, and her hairpins were much less.Compared with her with heavy makeup, she has a different charm.

"My daughter-in-law has seen my mother." Seeing the ceremony, Princess Chu smiled and said, "My queen, I have something interesting to tell you today."

As he spoke, he sized up the palace attendant without showing any trace.

"Everyone go back." Empress Cao dismissed everyone, leaving only Shanmei to wait on her.

"Mother, there is reliable news that after the prince returned from the funeral, he intends to murder the father." Princess Chu's voice was very low, and there was some tension in her voice, "there is an internal response in the palace, who will lead the troops to open the palace gate to respond to the prince. Forcing the palace."

Empress Cao's hand trembled.

Force the palace?

Behind those two short words, there is so much blood and cruelty hidden.Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it is foreseeable that countless people will fall to the ground.

"Where are the soldiers?" Empress Cao's first reaction was to ask the Prince's military strength.There are many yamen with soldiers in the capital, but only the Sixth Army of the Beiya can be called elite.

The number of soldiers and horses in the five cities is not as large as that of Beiya, and it is far inferior in terms of military strength.The only thing that can compete with the Beiya is the Gyeonggi Daying stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

But the Wu family is already on King Qi's side, and with Wu Sheng's control over Beiya, the problem doesn't lie with Beiya.

Princess Chu shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just know that someone will lead troops to respond to the mutiny."

Right now, there are two paths before Empress Cao:
Article [-]: Immediately expose the prince's conspiracy;
Day [-]: Make arrangements in advance and sit on the sidelines.After the prince succeeds, close the door and beat the dog, expose the prince's crimes of killing the king and father, and take advantage of the situation to help the king of Qi ascend the throne.

Empress Cao has experienced many major choices in her life.But this time, it is still the most difficult one.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the palace, looking at the distant past.Open your right hand slightly, then squeeze it tightly again, and repeat this process.

Princess Chu lowered her eyes and waited quietly. Such an important decision can only be made by Empress Cao herself.

But after a cup of tea, the images in Empress Cao's mind came one after another.

The innocence of being a young girl, the beauty and sweetness of being in love with Fang Shuyu; the pain of having to marry into the royal family for the sake of the family; Emperor Qinglong's indifference and respect for her over the years...

After all kinds of scenes, finally fixed in the scene of Cai Shanmei's report just now, Empress Cao made up her mind.

Emperor Qinglong was suspicious, and if he exposed the prince's intentions at this moment, he would be charged with adding insult to injury.It's better to let the prince succeed and let him take a good look at how his most beloved son repays him!

She wanted to see if his heart would hurt by then?
"Go back to the palace first, don't say anything about it, just strengthen your defenses secretly."

After hearing what Empress Cao said, Princess Chu understood her decision.She was not surprised by this result.In front of the supreme emperor, she can understand what kind of methods Empress Cao uses.

It has to be said that Jiang Chen's move to lure Wu Zhengxiang away was really clever.

In Luoyang City, there are three major intelligence organizations.The information network of Princess Zhaoyang in the hands of Princess Chu and the information network woven by Wang Miaoyan of the Prince's Mansion, but the largest intelligence organization is in the hands of Emperor Qinglong.

Xiao cavalry guards and shadow guards, one light and one dark, can be absolutely safe.

However, due to Xu Wanzhen's disappearance, Wu Zhengxiang went north, and most of the troops of Xiaoqiwei were attracted there.The shadow guards are still dedicated to their duties, but their sight is still disturbed by the north, not to mention that today's shadow guards are good at guarding and assassination, not intelligence.

If Wu Zhengxiang was in charge of the overall situation in the city, and even Princess Chu had received the news, how could the changes in the Prince's Mansion be hidden from his eyes?

Even King Qi and Empress Cao chose to abandon Emperor Qinglong due to different reasons.Wu Zhengxiang will never turn his back on this man who is both a teacher and a father to him.

Jiang Chen's grasp of people's hearts can be described as extreme.
