When Ma Mao sent the secret message to the north, Sun Quan had not yet fallen ill.
But Ma Mao could not send another message specifically, telling General Wei that the Lord of Soochow was seriously ill. Because there were many caravans traveling between the two countries for a period of time, otherwise it would be impossible to explain.
Moreover, Ma Mao is also in danger now, and he is already preparing to find an opportunity to escape! When he returns to Wei, he can report to General Qin Zhongming face to face, detailing the situation in Soochow.
The main danger came from Sun Jun, the high-ranking official who had the best relationship with Ma Mao! Sun Jun was obviously suspicious and had not discussed secrets with Ma Mao for several months.
Of course, Sun Jun did not collect evidence about Ma Mao, otherwise he would have taken action already. But if someone like Sun Jun relied on him to be reasonable and rely on evidence, he would definitely die without knowing how!
Once Sun Jun comes to power, judging from his behavior, he will directly arrest the suspects and torture them! Regardless of whether Ma Mao confesses or not, Sun Jun will be charged with a crime.
As for Ma Mao's contribution to the original plan, people like Sun Jun don't care. It is Sun Jun's nature to ignore people when they fall out. Such people are neither reasonable nor affectionate; Ma Mao deals with this person
, I have to be strict about things!
Can Sun Jun take power? Ma Mao believes that as long as the situation in the Wu court does not reverse again, it is almost certain that Sun Jun can take power.
Although King Lu Sun Ba died, the winner was not the crown prince Sun He, but Princess Quan, who once supported King Lu, and won a comprehensive victory! As Princess Quan's lover, Sun Jun was also a member of the royal family, so it was obvious that he could share the power.
thing.
If Sun Jun hadn't had suspicions about Ma Mao,
Ji, because he has been friends with Sun Jun for a long time, now Ma Mao is really able to climb a big tree!
Ma Mao didn't know how Sun Quan fell ill. Perhaps it was the Battle of Xianxi in Dongguan that dealt a heavy blow to Sun Quan. After all, Sun Quan was over sixty, and his body and mentality were probably not that strong.
Prior to this, as soon as Sun Liang was established as the prince, his biological mother Pan Shu was immediately canonized as the queen. After the establishment of the Wu Kingdom, there had never been a queen, but Pan Shu suddenly got the title of queen that the beauties in the harem dreamed of. It is estimated that Sun Quan
I still understood in my heart that Sun Liang was too young, so he elevated the status of his biological mother and made Sun Liang the undisputed legitimate son.
Suddenly such a great honor fell from the sky. Pan Shu was naturally very grateful to Sun Quan and took care of Sun Quan who was ill.
She handled everything Sun Quan ate and drank herself, and even tasted the hot and cold medicine herself. Pan Shu did not come from a famous family, and she was not very knowledgeable, but she still understood the simplest principles of grudges and grudges.
Moreover, it is not easy to take care of bedridden patients. All they have to do are boring and trivial tasks. It is easy to get upset and sleepy, but they can't calm down. At this time, Pan Shu saw that Sun Quan had fallen asleep, so she returned to her bedroom, even taking care of lunch.
Without food, I was so tired that I wanted to take a nap.
She had stayed in the weaving room before and had done very hard work, but as she became a palace lady in these years, she had already been used to a relaxed life, and suddenly she was a little tired from working day and night.
She didn't know how long she had been lying there, but Pan Shuzheng was in a daze when she suddenly felt that her arm was being held down by someone!
Pan Shu woke up immediately. But in an instant, her mouth was also covered by someone.
, opened her eyes and saw a familiar-looking palace maid. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Pan Shu was so anxious that she wanted to reach out and grab the hand covering her, but her arm could no longer move and was pinned down by someone.
There were at least four or five people around her! For a moment, Pan Shu's mind went blank, and she only focused on struggling. She almost tried her best, but she couldn't break free at all. Being held down by several strong women, Pan Shu's slender body The difference in strength between the delicate physique and strength is huge!
"Where are the things?" Someone asked anxiously at this time.
Immediately, a palace lady came over with a cloth and tied it around Pan Shu's neck! The palace lady must have never killed anyone before, she looked very nervous, and she didn't do her job very well.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Pan Shu used up all her remaining strength and subconsciously made a final resistance, but soon she felt sore and weak all over, and she was completely exhausted. She could only widen her eyes and watch helplessly. Waiting for others to put the silk bag on her, and trying to strangle her to death!
The cold despair, like falling into an ice cave, suddenly hit Pan Shu's heart. In her unwillingness and fear, she suddenly thought of the simplest trivial matter: she didn't eat lunch and she was still hungry.
Because in Pan Shu's concept, criminals who are about to be beheaded will also be given a decapitated meal. People who are seriously ill and dying will have their relatives around them ask if they want anything else to eat.
Unexpectedly, she, Pan Shugui, became the queen, but in the end she was not as good as a condemned criminal!
Pan Shu could no longer break free, and the cloth around her neck tightened quickly, followed by a feeling of suffocation. Pan Shu still stared at the roof, and in an instant, she felt that time passed more slowly. The brackets on the roof also became blurry.
"Clang!"
Pan Shu tried her best and kicked her feet downwards, pushing everything that fell down onto the floor. This should be her last flutter. She stretched her legs desperately, as if she wanted to stretch her body as much as possible!
At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Stop! What are you doing?"
Pan Shu instantly felt the cloth around her neck loosen a little, but she still couldn't breathe. Then the voice said: "Be brave!"
First, the strength in Pan Shu's legs and arms suddenly disappeared, and the person holding her ran away! Pan Shu immediately reached out and grabbed the cloth around her neck, but she could no longer exert any strength, so she was able to strangle her after a moment. The man also ran away and let go of Bu Ling.
"Cough cough cough..." Pan Shu immediately turned around, rubbed her throat with her hands, and coughed out a breath, feeling as if her neck was about to break.
At this time, the person sat on the edge of the cave and reached out to pat Pan Shu's back. Pan Shu had already realized who the person was, it was Princess Zhu Xiaohu!
Pan Shu was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, threw herself into Princess Zhu's arms, and burst into tears. Pan Shu felt that her face was very soft, and she also had difficulty breathing and fear of suffocation. Before leaving, she quickly moved her mouth and nose again, crying until she was in tears.
Princess Zhu caressed Pan Shu's shaved shoulders, gave her a few words of comfort, and then said: "Now is not the time to cry. Quickly order the maids arrested, keep them under strict supervision, and interrogate the culprit behind the scenes!"
Pan Shu said: "Princess, please quickly bring someone to catch them."
Princess Zhu whispered: "You are the queen."
When she said this, she turned around and glanced at the wide open door of the palace, and said, "I have to leave first. The queen remembers to see her father as soon as possible. Father.
The emperor can still speak."
Pan Shu still held Princess Zhu hard.
Princess Zhu gently opened her fingers, with a resentful expression filled with complicated emotions, "Queen, don't be afraid, no one in the Taichu Palace can kill the queen in an honest and fair manner, except for my father, otherwise you will be settled sooner or later!"
Pan Shu finally let go of Princess Zhu and watched helplessly as Princess Zhu's graceful back disappeared at the entrance of the palace.
"Dong dong dong..." Pan Shu clearly heard a drum-like sound coming from her chest. Her throat was still uncomfortable, and her heart seemed to be in her throat!
She finally came to her senses, remembered Princess Zhu's instructions, and hurried out of the palace gate, only to find that there was no maid accompanying her in the huge courtyard!
Finally, she saw a eunuch in the distance. Pan Shu immediately called the eunuch over and ordered him to lead people to arrest the palace maids. Then Pan Shu recalled the names of the three palace maids she knew.
Only then did Pan Shu remember that one of the palace maids seemed to be related to Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong! Once, the palace maid had brought a message to Sun Hong, saying that Zhongshu Ling wanted to be summoned by Mrs. Pan.
Although Sun Hong was an official in Taichu Palace, he was also a foreign minister. How did he know the palace maid? Pan Shu was suspicious, but she couldn't find out for a while.
The palace maids and eunuchs came to the palace one after another. Except for the scenes during the visit, the group of people were simply silent.
But as there were more people, Pan Shu felt a little more at ease. Princess Zhu was right, no one could kill the queen in public. Pan Shu also understood this truth, but she was too frightened before, so she didn't think so much.
After a while, Princess Sun Luban also came. Pan Shu struggled to get up from the banquet to greet the ceremony. She found that
I still feel like I don’t have enough strength.
Sun Luban knelt down and said, "Queen, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs and maids in the palace all bowed down to worship and retreated toward the palace door. Pan Shu panicked, raised her hand and said: "Wait..."
Sun Luban said: "Let them come in later."
Pan Shu had no choice but to give up, but fortunately the door was open. She had only been a queen for a few days, and her majesty in the Taichu Palace was far inferior to that of a princess!
Sun Luban looked angry and said angrily: "I just heard about what happened to the queen and rushed over to see it. Some people are simply audacious! They must be jealous of the queen and instigated the maids to do evil things. If they are found out, they will be punished."
Severe punishment without mercy!"
Pan Shu trembled: "Who wants to kill me?"
Sun Luban whispered: "We need to find out the instigator first to avoid unjustly accusing good people. Don't worry, Queen, I will ask Zhongshu to order Sun Hong to investigate the matter closely and give the Queen an explanation."
Sun Hong? Pan Shu couldn't help but glance at Sun Luban.
Sun Luban added: "The prince and Quan Shangnu have made a marriage contract. Sooner or later, Quan will be the crown prince, and we will be relatives. If you don't help your relatives, who can you help? I am on the queen's side, and the queen can trust me."
Pan Shu said "Yeah" and forced herself to calm down: "If the princess hadn't said something nice, I'm afraid my son wouldn't be able to be the crown prince."
Sun Luban's gaze swept across Pan Shu's face, his gaze was very sharp, as if it were something tangible that could penetrate Pan Shuyu's fair skin. Sun Luban said: "The seventh prince wants to marry Quan, how can I not like him?"
It is only natural that you say a few nice words in front of your father."
She paused for a moment and then said kindly: "Now that my father is ill and lying on the bed, this matter cannot be made public to avoid panic.
.To catch those damn palace maids, we still need to use secret investigation. Sun Hong has been doing things in the palace, and his tone is more reliable. When the queen saw her father, she recommended Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong to handle the matter."
Pan Shu finally couldn't help but said: "How about letting the school affairs officer handle this kind of thing?"
A cold light flashed in Sun Luban's eyes, and he nodded without changing his expression: "You can also be a school affairs officer."
