Chapter 220
Luo Weiyun liked such a free rural life very much, and smiled to Deng Zhao: "I hope that one day in the future, we can live this kind of life every day, and I will be satisfied."

Deng Zhao forced a smile, there is no way to answer this, he hesitated for a while and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, I will accompany you more in the future."

"Okay! But don't worry, I won't mess with you when you're busy!" Luo Weiyun said with a smile.

Deng Zhao's eyes suddenly softened, and he smiled softly: "Yun'er is just a mess, I like it too!"

Luo Weiyun's face flushed, and she gave him a look with a smile, but her heart was sweet.

Deng Zhao was inexplicably guilty. At first he kept his identity from his wife, but the more he kept it from the truth, the more he couldn't say it. Now it's not the right time to say it, so he couldn't mention it too abruptly.

This matter is really a headache!
After much deliberation, Deng Zhao couldn't figure out what to do now, especially since Luo Weiyun was in a very happy mood, and he couldn't bear to pour cold water on her at this moment. Thinking about it, forget it, and wait until the time is right. It's not too late.

In the evening of that day, Deng Zhao went to Zhuangzi's study, and when he heard the news reported by the secret guard from the capital, the corners of his lips curled up, and he sneered lightly.

It seems that the forces that the father has cultivated secretly over the years are quite capable, and it is not in vain that he sent him such a big news.I don't know how he arranged it, but now it has achieved initial results. The First Prince, Concubine Xiao, and the Xiao family are afraid that the sky will be turned upside down, right?
The Xiao family may still miss some old feelings and can't bear to treat the Empress Dowager Xiao, but the First Prince and Concubine Xiao have long been dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager Xiao. Now that they have such a great excuse to put down all their psychological burdens to deal with her, how could they not do their best? What about going forward?

Even if they haven't made up their minds to go all out, I believe the emperor will give them a push.

As of now, it is beyond their control.

Deng Zhao kept summoning the secret guards and a group of confidants, and kept dispatching the manpower to various places.

The power of Empress Dowager Xiao has already been explored by him secretly, and he wants to ensure that the first time Empress Dowager Xiao falls down, her confidants will be controlled, killed, or subdued.

What surprised Deng Zhao the most was the elite garrison of 3 people in Zhili. He thought it was a neutral army loyal to the imperial court, but he had already voted for Empress Xiao. Not even the Xiao family would listen.

Who would have imagined that such an elite force, which is so close to the capital, is firmly in the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao?
Coupled with the manpower hidden in other yamen, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can quickly control the capital once they are caught off guard and coordinated.No wonder she dared to have such big ambitions!
At this time, the capital seems to be peaceful and peaceful on the surface, and only a few people know in their hearts that this is the tranquility before the mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building. Once this tranquility is broken, it will tear the entire court. turmoil.

Since Deng Zhao deliberately left Beijing in order to avoid this accident, he will naturally not go back at this moment.

After ordering the arrangement, he still accompanied Luo Weiyun to live happily and happily, climbing mountains, fishing, hunting, or riding horses every day, and occasionally went to the countryside, villages and small towns to feel Feel the tranquility of the countryside.

In the capital, in fact, the eldest prince and Concubine Xiao's desire to kill the Empress Dowager Xiao was much stronger than Emperor Yuan Ping expected, and there was no need for Emperor Yuan Ping to do anything. The mother and son discussed frequently to explore the best way.

The eldest prince was very diligent when he entered the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Xiao Gui, but now he came more diligently and no one would suspect anything.

Only two days after knowing the truth, the mother and son couldn't wait to make a plan.

Empress Dowager Xiao is ill, this is simply a wonderful opportunity bestowed by heaven!

Murdering people in the palace, drowning and poisoning are the best choices. The Empress Dowager Xiao has a lot of people around her, and the elderly are unlikely to get close to the water. Besides, she is sick, so drowning is not advisable, so naturally Poisoned.

The choice of poison is also very particular. After all, the poisoning of the Empress Dowager is a very important matter. After the incident, there must be a thorough investigation. The poison must be effective and withstand the investigation.

The eldest prince secretly ordered his confidants to get a reliable poison, then turned around and secretly silenced the confidant who had bought the poison, destroyed the corpse and wiped out all traces, and carried the medicine on his body into the palace and handed it to Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao's hands trembled a little, it was like this in everything, it was easier said than done.

Even if Concubine Xiao Gui hated Empress Dowager Xiao very much, even if their mother and son sincerely wanted Empress Dowager Xiao to die, but Empress Dowager Xiao had been on their heads for so many years, her majesty was still there.

Concubine Xiao Gui felt excited and trembled uncontrollably at the thought of trying to kill her.

"Mother Concubine, this matter is about the life and death of you and my mother and son, Mother Concubine, please don't be soft-hearted!" Seeing this, the eldest prince couldn't help reminding with some worry.

Concubine Xiao Gui secretly raised her breath, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother is not that confused! That old witch wants our mother and son's lives, how can I be soft-hearted? I am not so stupid!"

"Then I will wait for the good news from my concubine! Concubine mother, you have to be careful!" The eldest prince laughed.

Concubine Xiao subconsciously glanced in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and sneered, "Don't worry!"

Naturally, be careful, unless she is dying.

The emperor and the empress dowager have always been at odds. The mother and son look polite on the surface, but in fact, they are jealous and wary of each other.But that's the case, after all, where the status is, if the emperor knows that the queen mother was killed by him, he will definitely be a "filial son" and kill himself.

After all, they are mother and son!
And compared to Mrs. Xiao later, he may not like herself a little bit more.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, I'm afraid he can't wait for it.

Not long after the First Prince left the palace, Concubine Xiao Gui went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit Empress Dowager Xiao in person.

Empress Dowager Xiao has been really uncomfortable these few days. Elderly people especially need to recuperate once they get sick, and it is difficult to recover.

Both of them had ghosts in their hearts, and they both seemed to speak dryly.

Concubine Xiao Gui was quite attentive today, after greeting the Empress Dowager Xiao, she chatted and had no intention of getting up and leaving.

When it was time to take the medicine, Xiao Guifei smiled and sat aside, watching Aunt Chun carefully feed the cold soup to the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Aunt Chun and the maids and eunuchs serving in the Palace of Compassion and Ning never imagined that this day would be such a nightmare for them!
Empress Dowager Xiao was drinking the medicine as usual, while Concubine Xiao was joking and laughing, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law—or aunt and nephew occasionally had a word or two. A smear of black blood gushed out, his eyes closed, and he collapsed to death
