The rebirth of the noble concubine Wushuang

Chapter 551 Negotiation
Although the truth of Guo Ziyu's news was unclear, Xie An couldn't calm down. On the one hand, he ordered people to step up surveillance on the East Palace, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the situation in the palace.

On the second day, Xie An hurried into the palace and first went to visit Emperor Jing'an's bedroom, but He Cheng kept him back without leaking anything.

After leaving Emperor Jing'an's bedroom, Xie An did not return directly to the residence, but turned to Concubine Shu to discuss countermeasures.

Concubine Shu pulled her son to the seat, looked at his gloomy expression, and sighed softly: "My son is so beautiful, far from being comparable to the prince, but why he was not born into the queen's belly, it is the concubine mother who delayed you!"

Xie An shook his head: "Mother and concubine don't say that again, if the world is destined to belong to the son, it doesn't matter if he is born in the queen's palace or not!"

He has never looked down on the elders and concubines, the elders and the younger ones, and the establishment of a country should be a virtuous one. In his eyes, the crown prince is just a straw bag, how can he take on such a big responsibility.

Xie An glanced at the attendants in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "Mother Concubine, the son has something to say to Mother Concubine."

Concubine Shu winked at the maid in charge behind her when she heard the words, and the maid in charge took all the palace servants out tactfully.

After waiting for everyone to leave, Concubine Shu asked worriedly: "But what happened again? Is it your uncle?"

Guo Ziyu was a dissolute by nature and never knew how to restrain himself. Now that Emperor Jing'an was unconscious, Concubine Shu was afraid that he would cause some troubles at this juncture and make things difficult for her son.

Xie An pursed his lips and said, "It does have something to do with uncle."

Concubine Shu's expression suddenly became serious, her lips trembled a little, and she looked at her son with guilt.

Although Xie An was not angry with his mother for pampering his uncle, he couldn't bear to make her worry too much, besides, the business was important, and then said: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, uncle didn't cause trouble this time, on the contrary, he has made meritorious service!"

"For meritorious service? What kind of merit can he do? Don't you just joke around!" Concubine Shu naturally didn't believe it and dropped her sleeve.

Xie An could only tell Concubine Shu in detail about the encounter with Guo Ziyu in Juxian Building a few days ago.

"Mother and concubine, father...has he really never been sober for a while?"

Xie An still held a sliver of hope, hoping that Emperor Jing'an would wake up soon, not because he was pure and filial, but because Xie Yang was still sitting on the prince's throne.

Only when Emperor Jing'an wakes up safely, can he have a chance to pull Xie Yang off his horse, otherwise...

Speaking of Emperor Jing'an's illness, Concubine Shu couldn't help but frowned, shook her head and said: "You also just came back from your father's bedroom, as you can see, your father, he, has indeed been unconscious."

Concubine Shu paused and said, "Can you really believe what your uncle said?"

Xie An's eyes darkened: "It's better to believe in something than nothing!"

"But……"

"Mother and concubine, no, but Xie Yang and the queen hate our mother and son deeply. Once Xie Yang ascends to the throne, he will definitely not let us go!"

Xie An clenched the teacup in his hand, and his gaze was fierce: "Xie Yang can even kill kings and fathers for the sake of the throne, we can't sit and wait for death! Mother and concubine! Let's think of a good countermeasure, preemptive strikes, and hit Xie Yang. Caught off guard."

Concubine Shu also knew that the empress mother and son were cruel, but the more she was like this, the more she felt that this matter should not be rushed.

What's more, her younger brother is a bastard, and what he said always makes people feel a little unreliable.

After decades of ups and downs in the palace, Concubine Shu's keen intuition made Concubine Shu feel that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Xie An is talented, but he is too young and energetic after all. Concubine Shu pondered for a moment, and persuaded: "Even if Xie Yang wants to kill the king, his first step is not smooth, and now your father is still doing well. Lying in the dormitory, the condition is still stable."

"Nowadays, all the dignitaries in Beijing are gearing up, and all forces are ready to go. As long as your father is still alive, no matter how Xie Yang and the queen plan, they will not act rashly at this juncture."

Concubine Shu patted her son on the shoulder: "An'er, the more you can hold your breath at this time, listen to my concubine's advice, don't be impulsive in everything, wait and see, it won't take much effort for you .”

"You must know that if you seize the throne and usurp the throne, you will never turn back when you open the bow. If you fail, you will be benevolent!"

Concubine Shu's words were not without reason, Xie An was silent for a long time, and stood up to salute: "What Concubine Mother said is very true, it is my son who is impatient, and I will discuss with Concubine Mother after son goes to inquire about the situation in the East Palace."

And the news that Xie An wanted came back from the corresponding place in the East Palace very quickly.

According to reports from his eyeliner in the East Palace, Xie Yang summoned Si Jinyu a few days ago.

The secret guard who sent the message whispered: "... General Si came in through the secret door in the backyard, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, and went directly to the prince's small study in the side hall. There used to be a secret room in that study, and the prince never let it easily People went in, and the prince deliberately sent away all the servants, even Liu Qing was kicked out..."

The more Xie An listened, the more startled he became. Why Xie Yang secretly met Si Jinyu, who was holding a heavy army, was like Sima Zhao's heart, which was clearly revealed.

Xie An self-righteously sketched out the whole picture of Xie Yang's whole plan in his mind.

Xie Yang poisoned and failed to kill Emperor Jing'an in one fell swoop, so he wanted to use Si Jinyu's military power to suppress dissidents and help him ascend the throne early in the name of the emperor's long illness and the country's inability to live without a king.

Xie An couldn't sit still any longer and rushed into the palace. This time, no matter how Concubine Shu tried to persuade him, Xie An ignored her and said forcefully: "Xie Yang can't wait to make a move. Mother and concubine can no longer be indecisive, otherwise our mother and child will die without hesitation." The place of burial!"

Emperor Jing'an had been in a coma for several days, and the situation in Beijing was turbulent. Concubine Shu's heart was already fluttering, but after hearing Xie An's words, she became even more flustered.

After hesitating for a moment, Concubine Shu pondered, "An'er, what are you going to do now?"

Xie An tightened his lips, and the frenzy flashed in his eyes: "Since Xie Yang intends to use force, let's play with him!"

"Although Si Jinyu has a large number of troops, the troops are all stationed outside, and the nearest barracks to the capital is nearly a hundred miles away."

"In the current situation, Xie Yang will not order Si Jinyu to rush into Beijing with a large number of troops. Even if there is a garrison to support the scene, it is only a few hundred elite soldiers in the army. Use Si Jinyu's military power to gain a bargaining chip for himself to ascend the throne."

Xie An rolled his eyes and paused, "But he was too impatient and forgot that the praying mantis, the cicada, and the oriole were behind."

Concubine Shu's mood fluctuated, and her voice trembled: "You mean to station troops outside the city?"

Xie An hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes showed a fierce look: "That's right, when Xie Yang leads troops to force the palace, we will enter the city in the name of the Qing emperor and prove Xie Yang's crime of killing his father and king."

"But Si Jinyu's military strength should not be underestimated." Concubine Shu said worriedly.

Xie An snorted coldly: "No matter how strong Si Jinyu is, the distant water cannot save the near fire. As long as Xie Yang dies, what can he do? Does he really dare to rebel?"

Concubine Shu thought over and over again, and finally nodded: "Just listen to my son!"
