The most romantic little emperor

After everyone left, Dong Sicheng quietly approached Su Zhengfang, with a meaningful smile on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Minister Su, you have a good trick. Are you so impatient that you want to take action against the prince?"

Su Zhengfang looked straight ahead, unmoved, and said with a hearty smile: "Master Dong, what do you mean by that? I don't understand!"

Dong Sicheng snorted, and the smile on his face deepened: "Minister Su, stop pretending, how could you not understand? Others don't know you, but don't I know you?"

"But it's fine this way. I'm always happy to see this kind of situation happen. Don't worry, I won't ruin your good fortune. However, I have some news in my hand. Do you want to know? Forget it. I guess you may have known it a long time ago."

"Oh? What news? I'm all ears." Su Zhengfang raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and asked softly.

Dong Sicheng slowly walked to Su Zhengfang's side and whispered in his ear, "Last night, there was news from the East Palace that His Highness was poisoned and might not live long! I don't know who did it?"

Su Zhengfang's face darkened and he sneered, "What do you mean by that? Are you doubting me?"

"I didn't say that, you said that."

"Humph, in my opinion, I still suspect that you did it!"

……

Qin Hao was hiding in the Crown Princess's bedroom at the moment, not daring to go anywhere. He was afraid that his disguise would be seen through by some interested parties, thus ruining his careful plan.

Just now, he learned from Ah Yue the latest news from the Shadow Guard. It was said that last night, the lights in the Su Mansion were as bright as day. Ministers from the court kept coming in and out, obviously plotting something that could not be revealed.

"Your Highness, the commander of the imperial guards, Lu Yi, requests to see you." The voice of Luo Yang, the chief guard of the Imperial Guards, broke the silence in the room.

At this moment, Qin Hao's plan finally reached the most critical link. He was delighted, but his face remained calm. He laughed loudly and said, "Quick, please invite Master Lu in!"

Lu Yi was dressed in golden armor, handsome and majestic. After all the ups and downs, his face in his thirties looked even more resolute and sophisticated. He stepped into the room, his eyes were sharp, but he shouted respectfully: "Your Highness, I am honored to see you!"

Qin Hao waved his hand to signal him to excuse himself, then turned to Luo Yang and said, "Please allow Lord Lu to sit down."

Lu Yi had a look of panic on his face and kept bowing until Qin Hao nodded slightly. Only then did he dare to sit down carefully. Moreover, he only sat half of the chair, not daring to show any slackness.

"Lord Lu, how are you doing with the task that I asked you to do?" Qin Hao asked directly with a sharp gaze.

Lu Yi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I have fulfilled your mission. I have already done it. The Right Battalion Lieutenant General He Xuan asked me to send his regards to you!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Hao's face. This feeling was really wonderful. Being able to place his own people in the enemy camp undoubtedly added another layer of security to his plan.

Not long ago, the Jinyiwei passed him an important message, saying that the vanguard general Yuan Huchen of the right camp and the lieutenant general He Xuan were in serious discord. This discord seemed to be due to military affairs, or perhaps because of competing for the heart of a brothel girl.

However, Yuan Huchen was the confidant of Su Zhengfang and his son, and it was not easy to persuade him to rebel. So Qin Hao decided to change his strategy and let Lu Yi persuade He Xuan to rebel.

"Your Highness, He Xuan reported that he could only mobilize 3,000 soldiers from the right camp. The rest of the generals are loyal to Su Yong and Yuan Huchen and dare not act rashly."

Qin Hao raised a faint smile and said confidently: "That's enough. Three thousand people are enough to launch a surprise attack and cause great chaos in their army. Besides, I have a backup plan."

"Then again, maybe we don't need to use force at all. The key lies in Su Zhengfang and his gang. What exactly did they plan when they heard that the king was seriously ill?"

Lu Yi nodded in agreement, clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I have secretly deployed reliable men at the nine gates of the imperial palace. Together with the strength of the imperial guards, at least 15,000 elite soldiers can be mobilized. As long as the traitors dare to rebel, I will make sure they never return."

Qin Hao waved his hand gently, with a faint smile on his face, and said lightly: "Lu Yi, Lu Yi, you are still too naive. You still don't know Su Zhengfang, this old fox, deeply enough."

Lu Yi looked hesitant and puzzled, but he still bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, please give me some advice."

Qin Hao smiled slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said lightly: "This old fox is very cunning. He will never take risks easily. You must know that power and rebellion are not the same concept. He knows the boundary between the two better than anyone else. I bet that he will never use his troops easily. What's more, now that Su Yong has left the capital with the main force of the right camp, it is even more impossible for him to gamble everything on it."

Lu Yi frowned, thought for a moment, and asked again: "Then according to your opinion, what will Su Zhengfang do?"

Qin Hao was about to speak when the anxious voice of the chief guard Luo Yang suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Highness, this is not good!"

"Outside the East Palace, the ministers are clamoring to see you. They claim that there are many important state affairs that need to be decided by Your Highness. They will not give up until they see your true face."

"The Minister of War, Lord Wen, even... bluntly stated that he suspected that someone in the palace was secretly controlling Your Highness, causing the monarch and his subjects to be unable to meet, and was trying to deceive everyone."

Qin Hao sneered when he heard this, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He said to Lu Yi indifferently: "Did you hear that? This is Su Zhengfang's method. He has already started to take action."

"Go out immediately and tell everyone that I am not feeling well and will not be seeing you. If they insist on breaking in, they will be killed without mercy!" His tone revealed unquestionable majesty, accompanied by a strong murderous intent.

Although Lu Yi was full of doubts, he took the order without hesitation.

Not long after, he led a team of imperial guards to the gate of the East Palace.

At this time, in front of the East Palace gate, the ministers were blocked by the iron wall of the imperial guards and were arguing loudly.

Lu Yi took a step forward fearlessly and said in a loud voice, "Your Highness is not feeling well and needs to rest. He cannot meet with you gentlemen. Please forgive me." Although his voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable firmness.
