Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Cheng Xu.

Jiang Lianzhu was also happy when she heard that he had been appointed as the Kyoto Patrol.

In the past, she had heard Zhenbei Hou praise General Cheng Xu, saying that he was not only from a famous family, but he was also upright, brave and good at fighting.

In this way, Kyoto can at least be stable for a while.

Prince Xiang's Mansion was kind to Cheng Xu. If he repaid his kindness, Prince Xiang's family in the prison would definitely be protected.

After entering the royal temple for so long, Jiang Lianzhu still kept the affairs of Prince Xiang's Mansion in mind.

"Before I came, the Marquis of Zhenbei told me that Prince Xiang's family was safe in the prison. Now that we have obtained the evidence, they will be released from prison soon."

Liao Yunchuan knew Jiang Lianzhu.

That's why he specifically told Jiang Lianzhu about Cheng Xu's return to the court.

"The Prime Minister fell into such a big trap because of the third prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei, losing his father-in-law and brother-in-law one after another. Now even if the Prime Minister's wife is deeply in love with him, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to rely on the influence of the Prime Minister's wife's mother's family. ."

Jiang Lianzhu put aside the scripture in front of her and pondered deeply.

"The Prime Minister is a vengeful master. How could he suffer the loss of being dumb? Do you think he will take this opportunity to kill Prince Xiang's house directly?"

She was already worried about the situation in Prince Xiang's Mansion.

After all, the Prime Minister is ruthless, and Jiang Lianzhu will not be surprised by what he can do.

"Don't worry, Prince Xiang's family is now protected by His Majesty's people!"

Liao Yunchuan gave Jiang Lianzhu a reassurance.

"I have already presented to Your Majesty the evidence that can prove Prince Xiang's innocence. Prince Xiang is a blood relative of the royal family. How could Your Majesty allow others to persecute the royal bloodline?"

"Moreover, even if the Prime Minister has resentment in his heart, he will not target Prince Xiang at this time."

"How do you say that?"

Jiang Lianzhu realized that after she left the capital, so many things had happened in the capital.

"The purpose of the Prime Minister doing so many things behind the scenes is not just to focus on the palace of Prince Xiang. Prince Xiang is already indifferent and has no pursuit of the throne. It is not a big deal for the Prime Minister to get rid of Prince Xiang. role."

When it comes to pursuing the throne, Jiang Lianzhu suddenly realizes.

She listened carefully to the movements outside the meditation room, and after confirming that no one was outside, she whispered.

"You mean what the Prime Minister wants is His Majesty's throne?"

treason.

This was a crime that the Prime Minister had imposed on Prince Xiang's Mansion. In fact, the most suitable person for this crime was the Prime Minister, not Prince Xiang's Mansion.

"The Prime Minister has been arrogant and domineering for many years, and the Queen Mother has also been domineering and harming the royal heirs. With the evidence of each crime added up, Your Majesty has already developed the intention to completely destroy the Prime Minister's house."

"At first, they plotted to kill me in order to cut off His Majesty's support, but this move caused too much noise."

Jiang Lianzhu understood.

She poured herself a cup of hot tea, pushed it in front of Liao Yunchuan, and sighed while drinking the tea.

"The Prime Minister is eager to rebel. There should be a reason why Xiao Xiyan is pregnant."

After a person is pregnant, the child will grow up day by day. Xiao Xiyan can hide it for a while, but she can't hide anything.

Now the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister's Office are being pushed to this point step by step, and they have to take dangerous measures to seize chestnuts from the fire!

Because the Prime Minister's Mansion has no retreat.

"Not only Xiao Xiyan's pregnancy, the Prime Minister's weapons arsenal was also discovered. Once these things are discovered, they will be convicted of rebellion. In order to save his own life, the Prime Minister is quietly borrowing troops from neighboring countries. Use this to strengthen your own rebel team.”

Jiang Lianzhu's hand holding the tea cup froze now.

I have to say that the Prime Minister’s Mansion has quite a lot to play with!

Secretly hiding black powder, secretly building weapons arsenal, and now colluding with neighboring countries to use troops to rebel. Every crime involved is enough to make the nine tribes in the Prime Minister's Mansion change places!

"It seems that the Prime Minister was really driven into panic, and he resorted to such desperate measures!"

"You said that the prime minister plans to use the troops of neighboring countries to seek power and usurp the throne, and then support the eldest prince to ascend the throne, or push the heir in Xiao Xiyan's belly to control the government?"

The name of rebellion is not justified.

Although the Xiao family already has a queen mother, Your Majesty is not the queen mother's son. Therefore, if the Xiao family wants to seek power and usurp the throne and silence the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, the best way is to nominate someone with royal blood. People come to power.

The eldest prince met their requirements.

The child in Xiao Xiyan's belly also meets their needs.

"No matter what plan the Prime Minister's Office has, the only thing we can be sure of is that he has decided to rebel. Lianzhu, I came here late tonight to tell you that Your Majesty is ready to understand this matter. Soon, he will use the To conduct the funeral, the abbot personally came to the royal monastery.”

After receiving accurate information from Liao Yunchuan, Jiang Lianzhu often felt relieved.

"Then what will you do? Still be a burned person in people's eyes like you are now?"

She hoped that Liao Yunchuan could face everything next with her.

Jiang Lianzhu doesn't want to fight alone.

"Don't worry, I won't be a dead person forever. After this matter is over, Your Majesty will naturally announce to the public that I am not dead. In addition, this time Your Majesty comes to the Royal Temple, I will also come with you. When the time comes, I will Pretend to be one of His Majesty's bodyguards, and if you have any trouble, you can come to me."

Liao Yunchuan assured Jiang Lianzhu.

He knew that the last time he disappeared in a fire left an indelible impression on people.

This is very bad for Jiang Lianzhu.

"Dong dong."

After Liao Yunchuan finished speaking, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Jiang Lianzhu signaled Liao Yunchuan to leave, and she went to deal with the person who knocked on the door.

After seeing Liao Yunchuan's figure disappear into the night, Jiang Lianzhu put on her clothes and went to open the door as if she had been copying scriptures until late at night.

"It's so late, Zhike wants to see me for something?"

Standing outside in front of the Zen room was someone Jiang Lianzhu knew: Zhike, the temporary abbot.

"Don't blame the female donor for disturbing me late at night."

"Tonight, we want to hold a ceremony for Jie Chi and bury him. Jie Chi liked the female benefactor very much during his lifetime, so we are here tonight to invite the female benefactor to come with us."

"How come so fast?"

Jiang Lianzhu was surprised.

"Because the junior brother cannot interfere with the funeral ceremony of the abbot, we buried him in advance."

"Okay, just wait a moment, I'll be right here!"

Jiang Lianzhu packed herself up and quietly went to the front yard. The monks she had met before in the royal temple were currently chanting sutras and praying for the abbot master and Jie Chi.

She stood aside in silence, because she did not want to see Jie Chi pass away in such a miserable way. She also helped sort out the remains and followed other monks in the royal temple to keep vigil for the deceased. .
