Emperor Zhengxuan didn't want to deliver the letter himself, but people like Lu Yanshibin were so determined that he was worried that they would be bribed by his sons!
As for Jin Yiwei...
Yang Hefeng and Wang Tao had accidents one after another, and he had completely lost confidence in Jin Yiwei! No, it wasn't just Jin Yiwei, he even felt that no one around him could trust him anymore!
But Emperor Zhengxuan did not intend to tell Concubine Shu about these thoughts.
If he hadn't known that Concubine Shu was the queen who had single-handedly prompted her to come to Autumn Hunting, Emperor Zhengxuan would not have allowed her to carry the message.
He knew the Queen, and she never did anything useless. Since she asked Concubine Shu to come, she must have left a way to contact Concubine Shu.
"How do you plan to deliver the letter to the queen?" Emperor Zhengxuan asked Concubine Shu with his eyes narrowed.
As soon as Emperor Zhengxuan said these words, Concubine Shu's face flashed with stiffness. She tugged at the corner of her lips with difficulty. After a while, she lowered her head and whispered to Emperor Zhengxuan, "In reply to Your Majesty's words, before I come, I
The queen sent someone to send a homing pigeon to my concubine..."
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, Emperor Zhengxuan showed a true expression.
"Okay, as long as there are carrier pigeons, you can go!" Emperor Zhengxuan said with a sneer on his lips and waved his hand to Concubine Shu.
Now, he just hopes that the queen and the prince can be smarter and not be dragged into the mud by the Xu family. They have to cut off their tails to survive. Now is the time for them to make a choice!
This is his last chance for them!
If they don't know how to cherish it, then don't be afraid that they don't miss the love between husband and wife and father and son!
"Yes, my concubine, please leave." Concubine Shu bowed her head and bowed solemnly. She bowed and took two steps back, then turned around and walked out of the door.
After Concubine Shu's figure disappeared from the door, Eunuch Liu stepped forward and pulled the brocade quilt covering Emperor Zhengxuan's body. Just when he was about to step aside again, Emperor Zhengxuan's voice suddenly rang out.
"Xiao Fuzi, tell me, am I not good enough to them?"
Eunuch Liu looked at Emperor Zhengxuan in surprise.
At this time, Emperor Zhengxuan's face had long lost its previous cold cruelty. His face was full of fatigue and discomfort, and there was even a little moisture in his cloudy eyes.
"Your Majesty, what are you..."
"Why? Why do you want to assassinate me! Since I am their lord, and also their husband and father! How dare they! How dare they!" Emperor Zhengxuan clenched the quilt on his body tightly with both hands, and veins popped up on his forehead. It was obvious that
He was angry.
Hasn't he been nice to the Queen and her son over the years?
Take the prince for example, whether it was the issue of military pay or whether he and the Xu family reached out to the royal guards, he turned a blind eye and let the matter pass!
This time Qiu Shou ordered him to supervise the country! He has done this, why are they still not satisfied? Do they have to give up the throne to him now?
"Your Majesty, please calm down, please calm down first!" Seeing cold sweat break out on Emperor Zhengxuan's forehead again, Eunuch Liu quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
But at this time, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't hear Eunuch Liu's words of calming down his anger. He panted heavily and glared at Eunuch Liu again, "Little Fuzi, tell me, where did I go wrong? Where did I go wrong?
Already?"
"Your Majesty, you are right. All the mistakes are the Xu family's fault. It's because the Xu family is too arrogant..." Eunuch Liu saw Emperor Zhengxuan's face turned red from holding back. He quickly tried to persuade him while reaching out his hand and saying the words for him.
.
He also watched the prince grow up. Although the prince was not very successful, he probably didn't have the courage to ask him to kill the king. Presumably, it was the Xu family who instigated him.
"But I have never treated the Xu family poorly! Now that he has become a minister, what else does he want? Is it possible that he wants to sit on my throne?" Emperor Zhengxuan said angrily.
No wonder Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry, he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time!
If all the evidence didn't point to the Crown Prince and the Xu family, he really didn't believe that the Crown Prince and the Xu family would attack him!
Seeing Emperor Zhengxuan's protruding veins, Eunuch Liu hesitated for a long time, but in the end he said nothing.
In fact, Emperor Zhengxuan figured it out more clearly than anyone else. He asked him just because he wanted to vent his long-standing resentment and anger.
Xu Chief Assistant is a very good minister, but His Majesty suppresses him. Even though he is the Chief Assistant, he is still hampered in every way. Years ago, his son Xu Yong, the Minister of Household Affairs, was dismissed from his post because of military pay. In addition, he interfered with the Jinyi Guards.
His Majesty's fear and disgust towards him have been made clear...
But these are not enough to make a scheming person like Xu Shoufu take risks, and the only reason that can make him take risks is probably...
I'm afraid he's afraid that the Xu family will do something for another Zhenguo government!
Thinking of the Zhenguo Palace, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Now that the crimes of the Crown Prince and the Xu family have been clearly exposed, His Majesty is still planning for the Crown Prince in every possible way. He knows that Prince Dingguo and several ministers are opposed to it, but he still wants to trick the Crown Prince into regicide.
plucked out of crimes!
Your Majesty, he has such a fatherly heart, but why didn't he use it on the former prince back then?
He is really worthless for the first empress and the first prince!
Emperor Zhengxuan obviously thought of something at this moment. He suddenly let go of the brocade quilt in his hand, and lay down weakly again. He closed his eyes dejectedly, and after pondering for a while, he said in a hoarse voice,
"Please step back, I want to be alone for a while."
Seeing the decadent and sentimental look on Emperor Zhengxuan's face, Eunuch Liu moved his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything. He only softly responded with a 'yes', then bowed and left.
The moment he exited the room, he waved his hand slightly, and the little eunuch waiting outside immediately stepped forward and closed the door.
With a "squeak", the room finally returned to a deathly silence.
And in the dead silence, Emperor Zhengxuan finally slowly opened his eyes. He opened his eyes numbly under the bright yellow curtain above his head, and suddenly there were tears in his muddy eyes, and he lay down quietly.
Axi...
Are you hiding somewhere now and laughing at me?
The son I raised with my own hands, the Xu family that I supported with my own hands, they betrayed me together!
Ha ha!
Hahaha!
In the silent palace, Emperor Zhengxuan's hoarse and strange laughter suddenly rang out.
When Eunuch Liu who was guarding the door heard the laughter, he closed his eyes and said nothing. However, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of his lips unconsciously.
If I had known today, why bother in the beginning!
At the same time, Concubine Shu, who had returned to her bedroom, frowned as soon as she walked to the corner of the corridor and said, "Why isn't the lantern in the corner of the corridor lit? Go and ask someone to change it to a more cheerful one with a red plum pattern."
As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid stood up and responded, "Yes."
Concubine Shu curled her lips, and then said nothing. She walked directly into the room and said, "Okay, you all can go out. I'm a little tired. Do you want to rest for a while?"
"Shall I prepare the hot water for your Majesty's bath?" The clever palace maid immediately stood up and asked.
Concubine Shu frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, let me get ready first. I will take a nap for a while, and I will call you when I wake up! By the way, let people stay away and don't disturb me.
"
"Yes." The maids in the room responded, and then all retreated.
After everyone left, Concubine Shu did not go to the couch. Instead, she walked to the table, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
After finishing a cup of tea, there was sudden movement outside the window.
"Shu Fei, what's the matter with you?" The person who came was dressed in black, with a black scarf covering his face. He had a slim figure, and he looked like a woman at first sight.
A trace of surprise flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes, but in just a moment, she immediately regained her composure.
For the sake of convenience, those noble families will also select some well-qualified women to train as killers or secret guards. Moreover, women are agile and capable and can work both in the dark and in the dark, which is more convenient than men.
Moreover, since she could come here, she would be trusted by that person, so Concubine Shu went straight to the point and said, "That's it, I went to see Your Majesty today, and His Majesty wrote a letter in his own hand for me to deliver to the capital.
.”
"May I ask, Concubine Shu, what kind of letter is it?"
"I didn't look at it," Concubine Shu said with the corners of her lips raised.
"Then let me ask you one more question, your Majesty, why did you call this servant..."
"I would like to ask the crown prince, should I deliver this letter to the capital? Or should I not deliver it?" At this point, Concubine Shu's slender eyebrows raised slightly, and a small smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Come to Livortex.
"It turns out that this is Concubine Shu's question. In this case, I would like to ask you to wait for a while. I will give you the answer after I go back and ask my master for instructions." The man replied in a clear voice.
Concubine Shu smiled and nodded, "Of course it should be like this, but you have to do it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Concubine Shu. After a while, if my master asks you to send a letter, three cuckoo sounds will be heard outside your house in half an hour. If the letter cannot be sent, there will be no sound outside the house." Then.
People responded in a good-natured way.
I figured out a way so quickly!
Concubine Shu raised her lips and smiled, "Then, I will be waiting for news about the crown prince."
There was also a smile in the man's eyes, "If Concubine Shu has no other instructions, then I will leave first."
"Go!" Concubine Shu smiled and waved her hands.
As soon as her voice fell, she saw the man quickly move to the window, and the window lattice moved. Then, she quickly jumped out. This series of movements was so smooth that Concubine Shu didn't even hear any sound.
He is indeed a secret guard trained by Duke Dingguo!
The slight sound when I first arrived was probably to remind myself!
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but curl her lips and smile again.
People always leave a way out for themselves, especially those in the harem. Although the queen has always been kind to her, things in the harem are hard to say, so she has to plan a way out for herself. However,
No one would have thought that her escape route would be Duke Dingguo's mansion!
