"Really? I see you are very wild, and you are playing more and more wildly." He chuckled, clasped the back of her head, and whispered in her ear.
Tired of smelling those roses, the fresh and slightly astringent smell of herbs on her body today is actually soothing.
He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, it just made her feel like she couldn't breathe in his arms.
He also kept playing with her waist, which made her feel stuffy and hot all over.
Ming Lanruo tried hard to grab his arm while trying to change the subject: "Why did the Lord Governor come back in such a hurry?"
She knew that the queen would do something at the banquet, but she really didn't expect that the queen would dare to do such a big thing——
Just to kill her and frame her, Queen Zhou caused a palace coup!
Cang Qiao paused slightly, but he really let go of her a little. He stopped playing with her waist and instead clasped her fair and delicate hands to play with her——
"There are not many things in the palace that can really be hidden from me. The Queen can still secretly stage such a big show today, which shows that the Zhou family and some people are quite capable."
But there is no airtight wall in the world. When he was camped on the outskirts of the city, he received clear news and immediately led his people back.
"There were some dogs rushing out and barking along the way, trying to delay my return to the palace. I knew that this matter was serious." Cang Qiao chuckled.
Ming Lanruo looked at him: "Do you know what's going on?"
Cang Qiao paused, then looked at her and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "I don't know if I have something in mind, but it looks like I know something about it."
Ming Lanruo nodded: "It stands to reason that this killing was organized by Queen Zhou and the Zhou family. They have three purposes - "
"First, kill me; second, slander me; third, drag you into the water."
The ending the Zhou family needs is - the Queen Mother was assassinated by the rebels. She, Ming Lanruo, planned to use the red-blooded orphan to assassinate the Queen Mother, and the Queen's "mastermind" also died on the spot due to an "accident".
But Qiao, the head of the East Factory who was in charge of criminal edicts, detectives, and spies, didn't know that his niece was actually a rebel who killed the Queen Mother and so many people.
This is trampling the emperor's face on the ground. From now on, the emperor will definitely be alienated from him. Even if the emperor trusts Cang Qiao again, he will have a thorn in his heart.
Moreover, with so many official and female relatives dead, how could the court officials let Cang Qiao go? The public was so angry that they would definitely join forces to impeach Cang Qiao, and even remonstrate with death!
Even if Emperor Ming really trusted Cang Qiao unconditionally, he would not be able to kill all the courtiers.
In order to keep the throne, Emperor Ming demoted Cang Qiao at least in the end. Cang Qiao was already in that position. Once he was no longer the governor of Dongchang, there were too many people who wanted him dead.
This game hopes to kill three birds with one stone - she Minglanruo dies, the Queen Mother dies, Cang Qiao also dies, General Zhou and Queen Zhou all celebrate, and they are in power from now on.
"The Zhou family's calculations were ringing this time, but I didn't expect that in the end the assassin even killed Queen Zhou. It was probably because of some link in the Zhou family's killing spree that the enemies of the Zhou family were mixed in." Ming Lanruo guessed.
Cang Qiao leaned against the small table, looking at her lucid analysis, and smiled meaningfully: "My dear lady, you are getting smarter and wiser, and you know more and more. Why don't you guess what I am thinking?"
Ming Lanruo thought for a while: "The governor must have thought of how to break the Zhou family's situation."
Empress Zhou wanted to kill Zhou Xiangyun just to show off to the emperor and courtiers. She also lost her relatives and she didn't know anything.
Now Zhou Xiangyun killed the queen. Although the Zhou family lost their support, it completely cleared the Zhou family of the suspicion of the mastermind.
And as long as Shangguan Hongye, the King of Qin, is still there, without Queen Zhou, the Zhou family still has great hope!
So the Zhou family will definitely kill her if Minglan is the mastermind behind the scenes!
Cang Qiao has been immersed in conspiracies for many years. He, the ancestor of conspirators, must have thought of how to break the situation!
Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows: "I didn't think of such a complicated and boring thing. I just thought of it very simply..."
He smiled: "I just want to know what the taste is in your mouth."
As he said that, he lowered his head and kissed her little mouth that had been kissing her just now.
Well, after a tough battle, the little woman's mouth is still very soft and warm.
Let him know that she is still alive and safe in his arms.
Instead of standing there covered in blood and filth, which is shocking to people at a glance.
