Chapter 118 I Can't Tolerate My Flesh And Flesh (3)
Li Qianlan nodded, and asked back: "Is the emperor going to leave someday today?" Li Qianlan is really tired of staying here, and besides, she is also worried about the situation in the capital, because if the Empress Dowager Gao is not dead, she will not be happy for a day.

Chen Jinghua shook his head: "The emperor is probably waiting for news from General Shen!"

Rather than betting her life on the hands of Empress Dowager Gao, it is better to stay outside and fight back. Li Qianlan understands this, so she doesn't ask any more questions. She gets up, eats, walks on the veranda, and does many things, but she always feels something is wrong , there must be something missing in this yard!
But what is missing?Li Qianlan thought about it, and suddenly remembered that there was one person missing in the backyard, and that person was Princess Eketa!
Since E Keta and Yingdi left that day, Li Qianlan hasn't seen her these days.A few days ago, Li Qianlan thought she had gone out with Emperor Ying to play, but today, Emperor Ying was clearly in the backyard, so why didn't he see Eketa?Didn't you hear Eketa's voice?
A bad premonition crept into her heart, and Li Qianlan rushed to Eketa's guest room.

Pushing open the door, there was no one in the guest room, the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and there was no trace of sleeping on the sheets. She was a little nervous and scared, and turned her head to ask Chen Jinghua who followed: "Where is Princess Eketa? She Did you come back with the emperor that day?"

Chen Jinghua looked surprised, he shook his head and said: "Don't Concubine Shu know that after E Keta went out with the emperor that day, he never went back to the inn. These days, the emperor went out alone!"

Where did Emperor Ying take Eketa?Or arranged to another inn?Li Qianlan couldn't figure it out for a while, but at this moment, an officer and soldier in uniform broke into the backyard in the rain, talked to the guards guarding the gate, and the guards took him to the room where Emperor Ying played chess.

Li Qianlan followed curiously, only to hear the officers and soldiers standing by the door reporting to Yingdihui: "Back to the emperor, Princess Eketa encountered an ambush by Empress Dowager Gao on the way back to Beijing, and her subordinates and others did not guard properly. The princess is dead! The corpse is on the way to the capital."

Li Qianlan's feet were unsteady, but at this time Emperor Ying slapped the table in the room and stood up, saying happily: "Okay, okay, hahahaha... This is the moment I've been waiting for. As soon as the rain stops tomorrow, we will return to Beijing immediately!"

On the way, the new empress was assassinated before entering the palace. Tusi Kingdom sent [-] soldiers to the capital to ask for an explanation. The people are sincere and fearful, so there is no peace.

However, Emperor Ying blocked all news. He didn't let anyone tell Li Qianlan about the situation in the capital, let alone tell Li Qianlan anything about Prince Chengxian.

The rain kept falling, and it stopped slowly after three days. Li Qianlan, who didn't know the current affairs, just kept chasing Emperor Ying and asking about the whereabouts of Princess Eketa in these three days.

"The dead Princess Eketa is a fake, isn't it?"

"The real Princess Eketa has been settled by the emperor, right?"

"When we return to the capital, we will bring the real Princess Eketa back to meet the Queen Mother Gao, right?"

Li Qianlan kept asking, but no matter what she asked, Yingdi just smiled and said nothing, even nodding and shaking his head so stingy that he didn't express anything.

What happened to Princess Ekota?Wouldn't he be tricked by Emperor Ying to return to Shen Mojun's team?If this is the case, there is no reason why Prince Habok should not stop it?

She abducted Princess Eketa, and gave Emperor Ying the opportunity to escort the false princess into the palace in a legitimate way. Shen Mojun only needs to arrange a soldier in Eketa's carriage, and there is no crime at all for Princess Eketa to personally escort the false princess into the palace. Go try it out!Even if Emperor Ying wanted to make the trick more realistic, but Prince Habok is Eketa's brother, there is no reason why he can't come out to favor Eketa!
Is the killed Eketa real or fake?If it was fake, where did the real Eketa go?

Li Qianlan couldn't get an answer at all, and Li Qianlan was very anxious. No matter whether she liked Eketa or not, no matter whether she wanted Eketa to share the emperor's love with her, she still didn't want Eketa's life to end like this, because Li Qianlan promised E Keta that she would play all the way to the capital and enter the palace safely as the queen, but now?
Li Qianlan felt guilty, but she was more worried. Sitting in the carriage back to Beijing, she begged Yingdi next to her: "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, baby, how many days have you been chasing me and asking, do you know that when you open your mouth now, my scalp is numb. Be good, don't ask again, when you arrive in the capital, you will naturally understand everything Now!" With the winning ticket in his hands, Emperor Ying smiled deeply, and he patted Li Qianlan's little hand to comfort him, as if he was comforting a baby or a kitten or puppy, and his tone was so soft that she would not be frightened at all.

Li Qianlan refused, and continued to pester: "The concubine wants a word, yes, or no?"

Emperor Ying shook his head: "It's not time to tell you yet. When I accept the queen mother, I will tell you everything!" Then, Emperor Ying snorted and said with a sneer: "Assassination Empress Dowager Gao, this time the death penalty is inevitable!"

Li Qianlan still didn't understand Eketa's life and death scene, but after hearing what Yingdi said, she also began to shift her thoughts, and shifted all her attention from Eketa to Empress Dowager Gao.

Just before leaving the palace, what Empress Dowager Gao said rang in her ears again: "If the assassination fails, you pour this medicine into the emperor's wine and let him drink it!" She touched the purse around her waist, which contained the red crane crest given to her by Empress Dowager Gao. She touched it and thought: "If Empress Dowager Gao finds out that she has fallen for Emperor Yingdi's scheme at this time, she will definitely put all her hopes on me." , so no matter what kind of persecution situation is at this time, she will definitely not commit suicide, and will definitely make the last dying struggle! If that is the case, then let her die to understand!"

Thinking about it, Li Qianlan put her hands back, her eyes flashed with pride, she only focused on it, Si did not notice that Emperor Ying let out a long breath of relief when he saw her hands loosen her purse.

After a moment of peace, Li Qianlan suddenly asked Emperor Ying deliberately from deep thought: "The Empress Dowager Gao ambushed halfway, she definitely did not come for Princess Eketa, and she certainly didn't expect the emperor to divide his troops into two groups, she didn't succeed this time , but the crime of rebellion has been committed. Your Majesty, you must know the character and ambition of Empress Dowager Gao, do you think she will sit in the palace and wait to die? How do you think she will defend herself, how will she resist and threaten her?"

Hearing these questions, Emperor Ying's face couldn't help but look a little heavy. He smirked and lied: "It's a blessing for her to be able to sit and wait for death. I'm afraid she doesn't even have the courage to sit and wait for death now!"

Li Qianlan didn't know that Emperor Ying had something to hide from her, but she didn't think so, she shook her head and said in disapproval: "The emperor may not underestimate Empress Dowager Gao, she can climb..."

"Huh!" Emperor Ying's deep eyes flashed, and his expression was extremely dissatisfied: "She has lost one-third of her troops now, what will she use to fight against me?"

When leaving the palace, Emperor Ying divided the force of the imperial guards in the capital into [-]%, one part went with him to Har City to welcome his relatives, one part was in ambush on the road to fight back against Empress Dowager Gao, and he stayed in the palace to be assigned by Prince Chengxian.

Prince Seung-hyun!

Li Qianlan felt bad in her heart, she suddenly held Emperor Ying's hand, and said nervously: "Now that the emperor is out of the palace, if the Empress Dowager Gao wants to survive the danger, she will definitely make it difficult for Prince Chengxian, and she will definitely take Chengxian's hand. Prince Xian is holding it in his hands to blackmail the emperor." Li Qianlan seemed to have thought of something, she couldn't help sitting upright, and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, what is the situation in the palace now? How is Prince Chengxian now? Your Majesty, please be truthful. Tell my concubines!!”

Emperor Ying frowned slightly, and then the frown became tighter. He glanced at Li Qianlan, sighed and said in a muffled voice: "Concubine Shu is really beautiful and intelligent. Just guess casually, and you will guess everything!"

"Why didn't the emperor tell his concubine earlier?" Prince Chengxian was only nine years old, how could he deal with the treacherous and cunning Empress Dowager Gao?

It's not that Emperor Ying didn't want to say it, but Li Qianlan's body has been very thin since she was upset. He didn't want Li Qianlan to worry too much, not to mention that this was a political matter of the previous dynasty. For processing sake.

Emperor Ying put his arms around Li Qianlan's shoulders, rubbed her shoulders repeatedly through his clothes and said: "Our troops are guarding the periphery, some of them control the general situation of the country, lest the rioters everywhere take the opportunity to rebel, and some of them The rest of the party outside Empress Dowager Gao has been subdued."

Li Qianlan listened carefully and nodded.

Emperor Ying continued: "The military power in Empress Dowager Gao's hands has suffered a heavy loss, and now the guards staying with her are nothing more than some brave dead soldiers with high skills. When I left the capital, I left 40% of the imperial guards for the prince. , he still has [-]% of his own troops, plus the [-]% of the troops sent to him by Shen Mojun, and the forces of the former princelings gathered by you, there are at least [-] people in total. You said so many people How can Empress Dowager Gao fight with the crown prince with hundreds of people." Emperor Ying saved the [-] troops from Tusi Kingdom and didn't tell Li Qianlan, otherwise, she would think wildly again.

Li Qianlan calculated carefully and said that he did not expect that Emperor Ying would know that the forces of the former princelings had defected to Prince Chengxian.
