Chapter 74 Conspiracy in the Dark Night

Su Huang and his party hurried back to the palace, it was already night.As soon as he returned to the palace, Su Huang immediately passed on the command of the imperial guards to the palace.The supervisor hurriedly handed the secret letter to Su Huang.calm.Such neat and uniform words made Su Huang feel more uneasy.

There is always an unusual calm before the storm.Without thinking too much, Su Huang hastily ate some dinner and began to process the memorial.The wind in the court hall also gradually calmed down.Only then did Su Huang breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment, after he picked up the folder presented by Xiao Ran, his brows were tightly knit together.

It was a memorial jointly signed by Xiao Ran and several ministers. The content was very simple. The emperor was not yet married, and he hoped to choose a girl with outstanding virtue from among the daughters of the princes and ministers to be the queen.In addition, Dawu's Princess Heshuo will enter Donghui soon, so the emperor must be prepared.

"Ridiculous." Su Huang sneered and threw the folder on the table, "Qihe is afraid that others will not know that he is Da Wu's undercover agent. I will never agree to such a thing as a marriage. Let him die as soon as possible tomorrow."

"It's not good for your Majesty to be so hasty to refuse." A man's voice came from the back of the hall, "Qihe's book is of a certain standard, but it made me understand the next strategy. The queen naturally wants to stand, and the marriage also needs to be done." And, it's just that it depends on His Majesty's decision to maximize the benefits of this marriage."

Su Huang stood up from the chair, her face full of displeasure, "Hero Luo, I don't want to treat the matter of getting married as a trifle."

Luo Wei came forward with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him not to be impatient, "It's just a marriage in name, wait until Dawu's power in Donghui is completely smashed, and then find a day to send the princess back That's fine. As for the queen, you will get married sooner or later, and according to your current situation, it would be a good thing to have someone close to help you."

Su Huang still frowned, his displeasure didn't decrease because of Luo Wei's words, he sighed and said, "I don't want to be a queen yet."

"Well. I know." Luo Wei comforted softly, "but in extraordinary times, everyone will make certain sacrifices. A Ling broke into the Dawu stronghold alone with injuries for you, and the life and death of the regent are unknown now. Ling and The generals have been guarding the border, and many of our eyeliners are risking their lives every day to insist on their mission. Your Majesty, this is not ordering you to do anything, but the arrow is on the string, and we have to do it. We promised everyone E three demands for unconditional obedience, so we must use all means to reduce their ambitions."

"I see." Su Huang was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "I will arrange it tomorrow."

"The regent is not here, and you don't have enough experience in handling government affairs, so I risked the world to come here to help you with a plan." Luo Wei smiled lightly, "Also, this time I signed a letter with Qihe Those courtiers, you can include them in the list."

"Included in the list?" Su Huang said, "Could it be that they colluded with Qihe?"

"On the contrary." Luo Wei shook his head. "The situation is still unclear. How could Qihe reveal the true identity of the chess pieces in advance? These people were coerced by Qihe and did not belong to Dawu. Find a time to install Dawu Those dark threads have been pulled out."

"...I'm still inexperienced, and I don't have the intention to understand this person at all." Su Huang was a little annoyed, "If I acted more calmly, such a situation would not have happened... I don't want you to bother me so much..."

Luo Wei chuckled, "There is no such thing. Everyone is fighting for their own beliefs. Fengze and I are fighting because of the vow we made when we were young, the regent is because of the love between uncle and nephew, and the soldiers who go through fire and water for you are because of the friendship between the monarch and his ministers." , Ah Ling is for you. Therefore, there is no need to feel guilty or stressed. All of us are behind you."

After hearing this, Su Huang's expression gradually relaxed, "I see."

"There are still four or five hours left. Go to rest after correcting." Luo Wei said, he found a chair and lay on it, and gently closed his eyes.

"King Jinghe, get out!"

In the middle of the night, Ziying's exasperated voice echoed near the cage.Ling Xiao and Su Yin looked at each other, then lay down and pretended to be dead.The cell door was opened, and the angry Zi Ying rushed in, grabbing Su Yin by the collar.

"Miss Ziying, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Su Yin sneered, "Could she change her mind and want to kill me?"

"Bastard!" Zi Ying was furious, and increased her strength a little more, "The people in Zhongshan Temple were poisoned, vomiting and diarrhea, and unable to move. My brother suddenly had a serious illness, his lips and tongue were bruised, and his body was poisoned. After thinking about it, this situation can only be caused by you and those bastards who came here today. Hand over the antidote quickly, or I will kill you!"

"First of all, I don't know why you are in such a situation." Su Yin looked like he had nothing to do with himself, "Also, your brother Wang is not far away in Dawu, why did you come here to taste tea at Zhongshan Temple again? "

"You really did it on purpose!" Ziying said angrily, "Hand over the antidote!"

"I've said that I don't understand what's going on with you. I'm an idle prince and not a doctor. How can I know how to cure diseases and save lives?" Su Yin continued, "Even if you kill me, I can't help it. A piece of advice, instead of discussing things with me, an idle and rich young man, you might as well go down the mountain and find a doctor to come up the mountain to treat you. The people in Zhongshan Temple are innocent people, and you have been plotted against, so don’t implicate them.”

Ziying snorted coldly, discussed something with the people around her, and then hurriedly left the cell.Not long after she left, Ling Xiao stood up slowly.

"It seems that the toxicity is onset. It just affected everyone in Zhongshan Temple. But if they can act, they will definitely obey Ziying's command, so I added some laxatives to their water source. The prince can rest assured that it is not fatal. "Ling Xiao smiled, "The plan is going well. There is no one blocking it, and we have to get out of this cage."

"Leave? How to leave?" Su Yin asked in surprise, "This is inside Zhongshan Temple. Even if we can get out of the cell, there are many traps here, and we may not be able to get out alive. We might as well stay here for a few more days, waiting for Ziying to rush out." If we are in a state of desperation, we will naturally send us out to exchange for the antidote."

Ling Xiao shook his head, took out a map from his pocket and spread it on the ground, "I brought a drawing from the little nun in the mountain, which marked the exit of Zhongshan Temple. I'm afraid it will turn the world upside down. Don't forget, you are the prince. If you are not in the court tomorrow morning, Xiao Huang can say that you are sick, but don't forget the ministers in the court. Those who believe in you account for the majority. Monk Qi is in the court. He is the most adept at creating rumors to sow dissension, and Xiaohuang will be in danger for one more day if he returns one day later."

Su Yin nodded, "I didn't think about it properly. But what should we do now?"

Ling Xiao didn't answer him, he took off his tattered outer shirt, put it in the old bucket in the prison, and soaked the clothes.Then he walked to the cage, tied the two iron pillars together with wet clothes, and turned around a few times with great effort. Under Su Yin's surprised gaze, Ling Xiao slowly opened a gap in the iron cage.

"Go!" Ling Xiao threw the wet clothes into the cage, and the figures of the two quickly ran out of the cell.At the door, as expected, I met several servants arranged by Ziying in advance.However, due to drinking water containing laxatives, the combat effectiveness is extremely weak.After Ling Xiao and Su Yin quickly dealt with them, they stumbled and escaped from Zhongshan Temple.

Two calm days passed.After Ling Xiao escaped from Zhongshan Temple, he hid in the mansion without saying a word, with a dejected look on his face. He didn't see anyone, and he was not interested in food. He just asked Ah Xing to play outside the door as usual a few tunes.The scholar tried many times to enter Ling Xiao's room, but was coaxed out by the attendants at the door.

"What did the emperor do to you?" The scholar asked suspiciously, "You didn't say a word after you came back. What's the matter? He still doesn't agree to the reinforcements on the border?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Ling Xiao's cold voice came from the room, and no matter how the scholar knocked on the door, he refused to say another word.Tired of asking questions, the scholar simply left angrily amid the sound of A Xing's piano.

Guan Suhe walked to a corner of the courtyard alone and blew his whistle, but still no carrier pigeon came. He was a little puzzled, and when he was about to send a carrier pigeon to make contact again, a cooing sound came from the sky, and the scholar couldn't wait for it to land. He grabbed it off and untied the letterbox.

"Brother Wang is critically ill. Help quickly."

"A bunch of trash, you can't do such trivial things well!" Guan Suhe scowled, crumpling the secret letter in his hand and crushing it.Then he thought about it, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.Then he clenched the dagger in his arms.

"Ling Xiao." He sneered, "If you dare to lie to me—"

He paused and did not continue speaking.He just took back the dagger in his arms.He opened another secret letter, and the news on it made him feel much happier.

The secret letter said that the emperor will be elected tomorrow.
