famous eldest daughter

Chapter 694 Order
Xiao Yu looked confident, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, two days are enough."

His secret guards had sent back the news. Over in Liaodong, as soon as Gu Zhen received the news from Li Deshun, he immediately pretended to be a small-scale soldier riot and planned two fake defeats.

Both of these actions were done for Xiao Yi's detail in the army.

When Xizuo sent the news to Xiao Yi in Kyoto, Gu Zhen immediately took control of Xizuo. As for the false defeat, it was just a way to lure the enemy deeper. After the false defeat, within a day or two, there was a large-scale triumph.

The Battle of Liaodong has come to an end, and Gu Zhen will return to the court soon.

It would take dozens of days at the fastest for this news to be transmitted back to Kyoto. His father didn't know anything about it yet. What Xiao Yi knew was that his plan had succeeded. He would not wait until tomorrow to carry out the plan. Next steps.

Xiao Yu originally thought that before Xiao Yi made any move, he would first lead the emperor to the Xishan Tangquan Pond so that he could meet the legitimate daughter of the deposed prince of Liaodong. At the same time, he would expose the British duke's crime of bullying the emperor. After all this was settled, he would Let Xiao Yi jump up freely.

But after the Yongning Hou Mansion incident, the original plan had to be disrupted. Xiao Yi could only be dealt with first, and then the British Duke was exposed.

Although the effect of this arrangement is not as good as the original one, it can relieve the emperor's suspicion of rebellion caused by the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

All the things are related to Xiao Yi. According to his father's temperament, even if these things are ironclad facts, he will feel that someone is deliberately arranging to frame Xiao Yi.

In order to avoid this, he could only let Xiao Yi take action first.

However, Xiao Yu could not discuss these arrangements with Concubine Hui.

Fortunately, he didn't say much, and Concubine Hui didn't ask too many questions. Seeing that Xiao Yu was very confident in what he said, Concubine Hui said, "You just go ahead and do it. I'm here, so don't worry. I will definitely do what you told me." .”

After several conversations, Xiao Yu left Concubine Hui at dawn. As soon as he left the palace, he went straight to the Chinan Hou Mansion.

Yesterday's discussions regarding the British Duke and Queen were all overturned due to this sudden change, and they needed to rearrange their arrangements.

Xiao Yu didn't tell Gu Yuqing about Gu Zhen's actions yesterday, but he didn't want her to worry about it before it happened, but he had to mention it now.

After careful discussion, everything to be done was decided. After leaving the Chinanhou Mansion, Xiao Yu went straight to a medium-grade small wine shop opposite Bazhen Pavilion.

After ordering a private room on the second floor, the owner of the shop welcomed him upstairs with a wink. However, he was in a deserted area on the stairs and whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Luo is already here. According to His Highness's instructions, he is in the Lotus Pavilion." .”

This small wine shop is a contact point for Xiao Yu's secret guards and spies.

Among the private rooms on the second floor, the one against the wall is hung with a blue-grey curtain. It is not open to the public. It is a place where the secret guards and spies exchange news with each other. The last time Luo Zhisong was killed in an alley, it was here that the news was sent out. .

Due to Xiao Yu's special status, in order to protect the safety of the wine shop, he was naturally not allowed to enter that room.

When the shop owner finished speaking, Xiao Yu nodded slightly in response. When he climbed up the stairs to the second floor, Xiao Yu walked forward and went straight to the Lotus Pavilion. The shop owner watched Xiao Yu open the door and go in, then turned and went downstairs.

The moment Xiao Yu pushed the door open and walked in, two men with ordinary faces and strong postures emerged from the room with green-grey curtains. Seeing that there was no one around them, they pretended to be drunk and stood opposite each other. At the window at the end of the stairs, I glanced at the door of Lotus Pavilion to be on guard against anyone approaching.

When Xiao Yu entered, Ming Lu was asking Luo Zhisong, "Didn't you hear nothing about the Yongning Hou Mansion?"

Seeing Xiao Yu come in, Ming Lu immediately stopped talking and stood up to greet him. Luo Zhisong, on the other hand, looked ashamed and did not dare to look directly at Xiao Yu. He waited until Ming Lu opened the chair and let Xiao Yu sit down, then he became worried He said uneasily: "Your Highness, I only heard about the third lady of Yongninghou Mansion this morning. I only found out after listening to private discussions among the servants in the mansion. His Highness did not discuss this matter with me. He bribed Yongninghou Mansion. Regarding my aunt, I...I don't know anything about it."

Luo Zhisong said the last sentence almost through his teeth, lowering his head to his chest, with uneasiness and guilt, "Your Highness, I am sorry for your trust, I..."

Xiao Yu raised his hand to stop Luo Zhisong's confession and said: "Xiao Yi is a very scheming and suspicious person. Even though he relies on you and cannot live without you, he will not discuss everything with you. When he does something, he will never hang himself from a tree and leave no room for retreat, so don't blame yourself too much."

After being comforted by Xiao Yu, the expression on Luo Zhisong's face did not fade at all, "Your Highness, there is no need to comfort me. In this matter, I did not do my job well enough and it was my fault."

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and smiled, "This matter has passed, so you don't have to dwell on it. There is something important that you need to do now."

Hearing that Xiao Yu had told him something else, Luo Zhisong let out a deep breath in his heart. Before that, he had been feeling anxious and uneasy, fearing that because of this mistake, he would never gain Xiao Yu's trust again.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." He said immediately.

"Before tonight, Xiao Yi must discuss with you the matter related to Gu Zhen's rebellion. What you have to do is to let him reveal the matter to his father after tomorrow morning. In addition, within today, the commander of the Imperial Army must We will investigate secretly to see if there really was any private contact between Xiao Yi and Wan Qing. You have to create a chance encounter and let the commander of the imperial army ask you. How do you answer? I don’t need to say more, right?"

Luo Zhisong's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded vigorously, "I know how to say it." After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, after this incident, he should..."

Xiao Yu stopped Luo Zhisong's somewhat difficult words out of embarrassment and said: "After this incident, when I overthrow the Queen again, your great revenge will be completely avenged. Therefore, during this period, you can also think about your future." Intend."

Luo Zhisong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yu. A bright light appeared in his eyes, but the moment he saw the bright road in the corner of his eye, it turned dark again, with a strong trace of ink and sadness, but it disappeared in an instant. , just said, "Okay."

The brief conversation lasted only for a few cups of tea, and Luo Zhisong took the lead to leave.

The two "drunkards" at the end of the corridor at the door saw Luo Zhisong push the door open and watched him merge into the vast sea of ​​people through the second-floor window. There was no one following him. They breathed a sigh of relief and walked downstairs together.

In the Lotus Pavilion, Ming Lu looked puzzled, "Your Highness, why does it have to be tomorrow morning? In such a hurry, we are not ready yet."

Xiao Yu nodded to him with his chopsticks and said: "We are in a hurry, and he is in a hurry. If we are not in a hurry, we are waiting for him to arrange things perfectly!"

What's more, my father must be investigating the Yongning Marquis Mansion without waiting.
