Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Inside the room, the woman's voice was like thunder, causing Wen Yan's heart to stop for a moment, and then it began to beat violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

His weak body couldn't withstand such a great stimulation and he burst into a violent coughing fit.

Zhu Baishao frowned and continued, "Don't worry, no matter what my original purpose was, my target is no longer any of you... I came here to find out the truth about the extermination of the Zhu family ten years ago. Now that I have found out, I am just using Lin Qingxu's identity to confuse people..."

At first, she just took advantage of the situation to leave the nest where spies were trained, and accepted the replacement identity in order to avoid going to the palace. Coming to the Regent's Palace would always make her mission more convenient.

As for Wen Yan, he is not a strategy, but he is better than a strategy.

Although he just wanted to use him as a tool to stimulate Xiao Huanzhi's emotions.

The system hesitated: [Host, you are just looking for excitement, right? ]

"How is that possible? I am doing my job well."

Wen Yan loosened the handkerchief in his hand and caught a glimpse of blood on it. He clenched it tightly in his hand without making a sound and whispered, "Are you from the Zhu family?"

Zhu Baishao remained silent.

"Where is the real Lin Qingxu?" Although Wen Yan had no feelings for Lin Qingxu, she was still his nominal fiancée. He felt a little guilty for avoiding the imperial city before, so he couldn't help but show her polite concern at this time.

"People in the Prime Minister's Mansion said that she died of illness on the road and has been buried. The relevant information about her was obtained from her maid." Zhu Baishao lowered his eyes slightly.

"I am the one who has let her down... If you want revenge, I will help you." Wen Yan looked serious.

Xiao Huanzhi seemed to have said that he could help her...

Zhu Baishao's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but blush when she thought of last night's charming moment. She asked coldly, "Help me? I want to kill the Prime Minister, the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, and you want to help me too?"

Hearing her slightly strange tone when she mentioned the Prime Minister, Wen Yan sighed, "Were you sent by the Prime Minister?... Even if you want to kill them, I can help you."

"What's the price?" Zhu Baishao did not answer his question.

Before, when Xiao Huanzhi said he wanted to help her, Zhu Baishao did not respond because based on her judgment of his character, if she got it easily, he would probably lose interest soon, so it would be better to keep him hanging.

Well, how does the saying go, what you can’t get will always make you restless.

cost?

Wen Yan stared at Zhu Baishao's frosty face for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll help you and deal with them together with you. You...you can marry me as Lin Qingxu as planned..."

After saying this, he closed his eyes. He never thought that he would be so despicable as to force a woman in such a way.

Even though he knew that she might have someone in her heart, even though he knew that she was an imposter, even though he knew that he would not live long, he still wanted to marry her and watch her wear a wedding dress for him once...

Zhu Baishao was slightly stunned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "System, why isn't he the son of luck? This is such a good strategy."

The system also sighed, [But host, in the original plot, he will die next year...]

"it is good."

When Bitao came back, Zhu Baishao had tied the white silk again and regained her gentle appearance. She was drinking tea and chatting with Wen Yan there.

Bi Tao is the Prime Minister's person, so we must be on guard against her.

……

On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After the Prime Minister came down from court, he entered the study with a nonchalant look and patted the ivory jade wat on the rosewood table. He felt funny when he thought of Emperor Xiao Jingchuan's words of overt wooing and covert threats to him after he went to court today. At the same time, I was a little angry.

What did the little emperor mean? Did he think he was the only one who could be easily controlled among all the civil and military officials in the court? He was really blind!

He took off his official hat with the help of the servant beside him, but his face was still as gloomy as water, and he felt that there was a fire in his heart that he couldn't vent.

The servant looked at the prime minister's face and whispered, "Master, we just found a young lady from somewhere else. She is very open-minded. Why don't you go and cool off?"

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's eyes lit up, "Where is the young lady?"

The servant bowed and said, "I have been waiting in the wing room."

The prime minister was about to raise his leg, but then he thought of something and a strange light flashed across his face. He turned to the painting on the wall and opened the secret door. He reached out and pressed the side, closed the mechanism and was about to go in, but he noticed the fine powder on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes. Someone had disturbed his secret room...

"come here."

He was afraid that someone might sneak in and ambush him in the dark room, so he called the servant over and asked him to go in first to get the tools, actually asking him to go in and explore the way.

The servant went in to get the things and came out safely, which made the prime minister feel slightly relieved, but then he became even more angry.

who is it? !

Who sneaked into his study? !

Fortunately, he never put important things together, otherwise his dragon robe, jade seal... his intention to rebel would be exposed.

The prime minister's temples were throbbing, and his body was shaking with anger and fear. Suddenly, he thought of Emperor Xiao Jingchuan who had suddenly detained him after the court session today. His heart was shocked. Could it be the little emperor's doing? !

Keeping him here to say those words today is just to buy time so that the assassin can sneak in and find out his secrets and evidence?

He gnashed his teeth and said, "You little emperor, you are going too far!!"

……

Regent's Palace.

Xiao Huanzhi had just sent two groups of people to the imperial city to search for Zhu Baishao's whereabouts when a guard came to report that there was unrest in the military camp outside the imperial city and there was a risk of mutiny. The situation was not good.

Xiao Huanzhi frowned and led a few riders towards the military camp outside the imperial city.

Antler fence, view from arrow tower.

The soldiers behind the camp saw Xiao Huanzhi from afar, their faces changed, and they bowed to greet him from afar, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Xiao Huanzhi narrowed his narrow eyes and rode his horse straight to the meeting tent.

The soldiers who had been a little noisy along the way shut up and became as quiet as chickens when they saw him.

Many officers and soldiers who had gathered together heard the news and had no time to come out of the tent to greet them. Xiao Huanzhi led his men in. The camp, which had been bustling with noise just now, became quiet so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Xiao Huanzhi walked slowly to the front, and when he turned around, his black cloak drew a beautiful arc. He sat high on a tiger-skin chair. He looked at the generals below with a calm gaze and said in a cold voice: "Why are you making so much noise at the foot of the imperial city?"

The people below exchanged glances with each other, and finally an old general stepped out and said with a folded hand, "Your Highness, please allow me to report this. We have fought on the battlefield, trained soldiers, and devoted ourselves to serving our country and society. However, the court has been too disheartening to us generals and soldiers. The military pay issued yesterday was 10% less than in previous years. If this continues, how will my wife, children, and elders survive in the imperial city!"

"Military pay?" Xiao Huanzhi had guessed this on the way here, and was not surprised at this time. Instead, he said, "Please wait for a while. I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to give you an answer tomorrow... It's just that the army is making a fuss, and I don't want it to happen again."

The ending tone was so sharp that everyone was shocked and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a soldier from outside came to report, "Your Majesty, the Minister of War is here!"

Xiao Huanzhi's eyes moved. Isn't this Shaoshao's enemy?
