Chapter 579 The villain’s vicious ex-wife 26

Regarding Wushuang's proposal to change the emperor, Liu Wanzong didn't say anything for a while. He pondered for a long time and said to Wushuang: "You also said that the emperor has become more mature now.

If he had been weak and helpless when he first ascended the throne, he would have been 90% sure of his true nature, and would have been able to unite with the Queen Mother to depose the emperor.

But now, the emperor already has supporters around him and is able to compete with him frequently. This power is obviously not small.

Although the Queen Mother occupies the title of the emperor's mother, she has no real power and cannot leave the harem at all. Apart from paving the way for her to step in and dethrone the emperor as an elder, there is no other use.

But in reality, although powerful, they are still ministers and relatives. Throughout the ages, there have been ministers who can compete with the emperor for power, but unless they rebel, there are no ministers and relatives who can dethrone the emperor."

Liu Wanzong didn't want to say such depressing words, but the fact was that he had missed the best opportunity to remove the emperor.

Now that the weak young tiger has grown up, it has begun to show its power as a king and aims its fangs at him. Although he can still suppress the opponent, he has exhausted all his strength and is unable to get rid of the tiger.

However, Liu Wanzong didn't think that this matter was really difficult. The reason was very simple. Now that Wu Shuang had spoken, he must have figured out a way to solve this dilemma based on his careful thinking.

Sure enough, Wushuang spoke: "The prime minister thinks that you are a minister and cannot depose the emperor, but what if the royal family fights among themselves?

In this world, no matter how united the aristocratic families are, they will inevitably fight against each other. For power and resources, the royal family, as the richest family in the world, has always fought the most fiercely.

Ignoring corpses and fighting each other has become the norm. Does the prime minister think that those losers in previous battles can really give up their coveting for that position in peace and quiet?"

Liu Wanzong's eyes flashed, he could suppress the emperor and he was not a fool after being the prime minister for so many years.

In the past, Liu Wanzong never thought of using the royal family's own contradictions to achieve his goals, or he never thought of abolishing the emperor, nor did he think about this aspect.

Now that Wushuang had just begun, Liu Wanzong understood what Wushuang meant: "You want me to choose a direct grandson of the late emperor to assist me."

He tapped the teacup in his hand thoughtfully, and said after a while: "Perhaps, King Rui can take advantage of it.

The late emperor liked King Rui very much at the beginning and gave him the best fiefdom. Even if it was a serious crime such as forcing him to marry, the late emperor only imprisoned him for a year and then released him.

Before his death, the late emperor left behind two edicts. One edict was that the ministers should never respect King Rui as emperor, thus cutting off King Rui's chance to ascend the throne.

At that time, everyone thought that the late emperor was worried that King Rui would rebel after his death, so he specially left an imperial edict to help the emperor eliminate future troubles.

Who knows that everyone guessed wrong, because the late emperor immediately issued a decree that unless King Rui rebelled again, he would not be punished, and he also gave King Rui a gold medal to avoid death.

Only then did everyone realize that the reason why the late emperor cut off King Rui's hope of ascending to the throne was to protect him.

Only when there is no possibility of becoming emperor again can the new emperor tolerate King Rui, who rebelled against his own father and still controls a wealthy fiefdom, and ensure that his favorite son will not be killed by the new emperor.

Even so, the late emperor was still uneasy and wanted to leave a life-preserving edict and a death-free gold medal to King Rui.

If King Rui hadn't made a foolish move and forced him into the palace, given the late emperor's favor for him, the throne would have definitely fallen on King Rui.

It was because he understood this that King Rui was particularly unwilling. Over the years, he had been honest on the surface but secretly bribed officials, causing trouble for the emperor.

In the past, if I hadn't helped the emperor to suppress him, I don't know how many times he would have been tricked by King Rui based on the emperor's methods.

Although the former prime minister wanted power, he was still loyal to the emperor, so he was willing to protect his throne and fight to the death with King Rui.

Now that Benxiang is no longer willing to keep the emperor, then Benxiang can cooperate with King Rui.

I sent King Rui’s son to be the emperor, and asked King Rui to help me overthrow the emperor and serve as regent. I’m sure King Rui, who has lost hope of ascending to the throne, will not refuse to agree.”

Wushuang sat aside and sipped tea the whole time, listening to Liu Wanzong sitting there talking to himself, and quickly smoothed out what he wanted to do.

He put down the empty teacup in his hand, raised his hand to Wushuang, and said: "I have learned a lesson today. If anything happens to me, I will help the Pei family reverse the case and prevent the Pei family from continuing to suffer unjust injustice."

This is an expression of sincerity and a promise of benefits for cooperation. The Pei family was personally convicted by the emperor. To help the Pei family reverse the case is to go against the emperor.

Wushuang returned the gift and said with a smile: "The daughter of the people has thanked the prime minister in advance. I wish the prime minister that all your wishes will come true. The daughter of the people is waiting for the day when the Pei family reverses the case."

Now that the official business had been settled, Liu Wanzong was anxious to form an alliance with King Rui, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Wushuang also returned to the palace with Jinlan.

When Wushuang returned to the palace, he was about to pass by the imperial garden when he saw a palace maid walking down the palace path with her head lowered and wiping tears.

Seeing Wushuang and Jinlan, the two little palace ladies hurriedly hid aside and saluted. Wushuang was the most popular person in front of the Queen Mother. Although she had no rank, no one in the palace dared to be rude in front of her.

In addition, Wushuang was always kind to people, so these little maids had a good relationship with Wushuang. These two maids, Wushuang, happened to know each other and were the flower maids in the Royal Garden.

Wushuang glanced over and saw that the faces of the two palace maids were swollen like two red apples.

Wushuang frowned slightly. This kind of maid could easily miss the nobles. According to the rules in the palace, the eldest maid and the nuns taught the maid not to slap her in the face.

The only person who can slap the little palace maid in the face is the mistress, and now there are only two mistresses in the palace, the Queen Mother and the Empress.

The emperor had no harem and no children. Those concubines of the previous emperor who had children and grandchildren went to their children's and grandchildren's mansions, and those who did not go to the royal temple. The princesses left by the previous emperor had already been married off.

The Queen Mother does not like to punish the palace maids, so the only one who could beat these two palace maids like this was the female protagonist, the queen, or the male protagonist, the emperor, and the queen or emperor was in the imperial garden.

No matter who they were, Wushuang could not provoke these two people at the moment. She looked at the two maids who were shouting with tears, took out two bottles of wound medicine from her sleeves, and put them into the hands of the two little maids. Without saying anything, she just

left.

When Wushuang makes hairpins and uses various tools, it is common to get small cuts and burns on his hands, so Wushuang always has burn ointment and trauma medicine on hand.

The two little palace ladies gratefully held the medicine bottles in their hands and kowtowed to Wu Shuang's back. Anyone could bully little palace ladies like them. It was really rare for anyone to pity them.

Wushuang didn't want to meet the emperor or the empress, and adhering to the principle of doing more than doing less, she took Jinlan on a long detour, taking the path from the cold palace and bypassing the imperial garden.

What Wushuang didn't know was that her decision to take a detour really saved herself a lot of trouble.

Because in the Imperial Garden, the heroine waited on purpose to block Wushuang in the Imperial Garden. Because Wushuang was so good at hiding, she was unable to catch Wushuang, and the heroine was already very irritable.

She specially sent people to keep an eye on Wushuang's whereabouts. When Wushuang left the palace, the queen got the report of following Wushuang's palace maid.

Knowing that Wushuang would have to pass through the Royal Garden when returning to the Queen Mother's Yi'an Palace, the heroine had already waited in the Royal Garden with her people, planning to punish Wushuang if she saw her.

In the past, the heroine just wanted to teach Wushuang a lesson gently, and then let Wushuang take the initiative to divorce Pei Zishu. In the heroine's heart, a good man like Pei Zishu and a villain like Wushuang who flattered the Queen Mother were not worthy of being his wife.

But after being unable to catch Wushuang's whereabouts, the heroine has become very irritable. She has long forgotten her plan to teach Wushuang a lesson, and only thinks about punishing Wushuang severely after catching her.

It was also because Wushuang didn't come back for a long time that the heroine became upset and turned her anger on the flower maid, punishing the two innocent little maids.

Wushuang didn't know that the two punished palace ladies were still somewhat related to her. She had already taken a detour back to Yi'an Palace.

And she decided that she would never leave Yi'an Palace unless everything settled or something unexpected happened.

The outside world is about to be stormy, so it's better for her to avoid the storm. After all, she doesn't have the ability to face the storm yet, so it is best for her to hide behind the scenes and stir up the storm.

Wushuang's decision made the queen, who had waited for a day and didn't know until night that Wushuang had returned to Yi'an Palace, furious. After being unable to catch Wushuang for a long time, the queen was so angry that it became almost impossible to teach Wushuang a lesson.

Her obsession.

When Wushuang was chatting with the Queen Mother, he accidentally met the Queen. At that time, the heroine looked at her with such a penetrating look that Wushuang thought that she and the heroine had a sworn hatred.

To be honest, Wushuang still feels quite uncomfortable, because the heroines in all the worlds have always been either unrelated to her, or her close friends, confidants, and close comrades-in-arms.

This was the first time that the heroine hated her so much, which made Wu Shuang feel uncomfortable for some reason.

But Wushuang doesn't mind too much, after all, not all the heroines in the author's works have upright views.

Because the heroine looked at Wushuang with such a gloomy look, the Queen Mother even noticed that something was wrong. The Queen Mother felt that the Queen was unruly and unworthy of a mother.

All the queens married the emperor, and they still obsessed over other men and hated their wives wholeheartedly.

The queen mother drove the queen away directly, and told the queen that there was no need to pay her respects in the future, and that she should not approach her if nothing happened.

With the Queen Mother's blatant partiality and protection, and the Queen Mother never having a good impression of the Queen, and hardly giving her any favor, the Queen could only curse the old and abusive woman in her heart, and left unwillingly.

As soon as he left Yi'an Palace, he ordered his subordinates and confidants: "Find someone to watch that bitch for me. I don't believe it. I can't deal with a bitch!"

When she thought that Pei Zishu, a man of extraordinary glory, ended up marrying such a woman, the queen's heart burned with anger and embarrassment.

Angry at Pei Zishu's unfeeling towards her, embarrassed that Pei Zishu would rather marry a Beidi village woman than marry her, all this anger and embarrassment finally turned into anger towards Wushuang.

Wushuang, who was resented by the heroine, yawned and was accompanying the Queen Mother in Yi'an Palace to design clothes for her kittens and puppies with great interest.

The Queen Mother has raised this pair of cats and dogs together since they were kittens and puppies. They have a very good relationship and they go in and out together every day.

While Wushuang and the Queen Mother were playing with cats and dogs, making clothes, and one was secretly dating Xie Anjing, while the other was doing filigree inlays on his head and face, Liu Wanzong outside had already met with Prince Rui.

The place where the two met was Wanfo Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. It was called Wanfo Mountain because all the rock walls of this mountain were carved with Buddha statues, so it was named Wanfo Mountain.

Liu Wanzong saluted the huge Buddha statue on the rock wall and offered incense. King Rui's harsh voice came from behind him: "Since when did Prime Minister Liu Da, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, come to pray to God and worship Buddha?"

Could it be that you knew you were at the end of your rope, so you just came here hoping that the Buddha would be merciful and save you from the sea of ​​suffering?"

Liu Wanzong was not angry either. After placing the incense, he looked back at King Rui and said with a smile: "Prince Rui is smart and knows that he is at the end of his rope."

King Rui: “??”

No, how did he know that Liu Wanzong was at the end of his rope? He just saw that his old enemy was upset and wanted to curse him.

King Rui twitched his lips and looked at Liu Wanzong coldly: "You are at the end of your rope? Liu Wanzong, are you making fun of me?"

Liu Wanzong smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, do you think what I said is a lie?" At this point, Liu Wanzong let out a long sigh.

He turned around, looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, and said with some confusion: "The truth is that I am not telling lies, I have really reached the end of my rope.

Although I love to wield power, I consider myself loyal to the Emperor, but the Emperor can no longer tolerate me and frequently attacks me.

Your Highness, King Rui, knows that your Majesty actually asked the Queen to trick my son, and asked my second son to personally forge evidence of my crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, in order to bring me down."

Speaking of this, Liu Wanzong's tone was choked with sobs: "I really didn't know that in order to bring me down, the emperor would go so far, so willingly, that he would allow the empress to condescend to use a beauty trick on my incompetent son."

What Liu Wanzong said was sincere and very pitiful. When cooperating with King Rui, he must show weakness. He would not rush to join him without being forced into a corner. King Rui would not believe him even if he dared to express his loyalty.

In fact, King Rui was stunned by the news from Liu Wanzong. No, wasn't Liu Wanzong's second son killed by bandits when he went out to play? He just went to the funeral just to see his old enemy Liu Wanzong lively.

I admired Liu Wanzong's sad expression.

At that time, King Rui was still surprised that Liu Wanzong didn't look very sad when his most beloved son died. It turned out that there were other reasons behind this.

King Rui looked at Liu Wanzong carefully and found that he looked much haggard and older during this time.

Before, King Rui thought that Liu Wanzong acted like this because he lost his beloved son, but now it seems that he was probably heartbroken by the emperor.

Now that Liu Wanzong was showing weakness to him, King Rui's heart suddenly jumped a few times. Could it be that he was showing favor to him and wanted to take refuge with him?

However, King Rui still couldn't believe this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing. He was afraid that the pie was made of iron and if he really opened his mouth to catch it, his teeth would break.

So King Rui coughed and said: "What's the use of Mr. Liu and me talking about this? How can I, a man who has been cut off from the throne by my father's personal decree, still be able to make decisions for you?"
