Chapter 78 The Queen's Plan
The old lady suffered from her former daughter-in-law's secret loss in the eldest princess's mansion. As a son of man, Hua Jingrong should naturally come to ask her teacher for her crimes.What's more, he and the eldest princess have many debts, and have had to endure this woman's power for more than ten years. This time the coup d'etat, the eldest princess has chosen the wrong side, and it is at a critical moment.But because he defected to Mingzhu, he has a bright future——

If you don't support your husband at this time, when will you wait!
Therefore, knowing that his mother was overbearing, Hua Jingrong couldn't care less, ordered dozens of servants with sabers, and killed them angrily.

Along the way, he thought over and over again that no matter how submissive the eldest princess mansion was to him, the big celebrity in front of the Changsha King, he would not give him a good face, and he would ruthlessly vent the anger he had accumulated for more than ten years.

However, what greeted him was the same arrogance as usual.

In an instant, he couldn't help but become more careful: he waited for the announcement at the gatehouse, bowed his head and followed behind the nanny...

He didn't wake up suddenly until he passed the Canglan Waterside Pavilion and saw the Yanbo Pavilion close at hand. This life is different from the past. He is very popular, but the eldest princess is already in decline!

So he suddenly felt radiant, and when he looked at the arrogant palace servants, he felt that they were really pitiful for trying to maintain their face.

When he walked into the Yanbo Pavilion with his head held high and his chest held high like never before, Hua Jingrong was greeted by the Eldest Princess who was leaning back in an armchair and was extremely lazy.

She was reading Buddhist scriptures, and when she saw him enter, she just raised her head and remained silent.

But such an arrogant gesture, in the eyes of the proud Hua Jingrong, meant something very unusual.

In the past, when he asked to see the eldest princess, he always lowered his head, not daring to look at her directly. He only felt that the eldest princess was too beautiful but too cold and unattainable.Today, he swept away his depression, saw the eldest princess again, and finally found that she was not only the eldest princess, but also a woman, a beautiful and charming woman.

The mood is different, and the scenery seen is also different.

Thinking that this seductive peony has lived alone for more than ten years, he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

It's time to help her see the situation clearly.

Women are born to be attached to men, and this kind of life that doesn't take men seriously is simply rebellious!

Having made up his mind, Hua Jingrong hurriedly walked up to the eldest princess, and sat down carelessly.

Sitting down cross-legged without grace, and there was no court person to entertain him, he grabbed the empty eight-petal lotus cup beside him, picked up the gold and silver staggered mandarin duck-pattern wine pot, poured a cup, grabbed a handful of fruit, and ate vulgarly. .

The eldest princess narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, looked at him, smiled without saying a word.

It wasn't until he finished eating the fruit in his palm that the core was vomited all over the floor, then she raised her eyes and said, "Does the arsenic taste good?"

"you--"

Hua Jingrong couldn't help turning pale when he heard the words, and was about to vomit, but seeing the palace servants behind the eldest princess cover their mouths and chuckle, knowing that she was teased by this woman, she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and said, "Do you think you are still the eldest princess with great authority! See clearly your identity, now you are the king of Changsha!"

"Qilang's world, isn't it the Xiao family's world?"

The eldest princess closed the Buddhist scriptures leisurely, put them in her hand, and held the cup with her jade fingers. Immediately, a beautiful young man came forward to pour wine for her.

Just when it was full, the boy stopped his hand, just one more drop would overflow, and one less drop would not be enough.

The red lips were slightly stained with wine, the eldest princess exhaled Ruolan, and said: "Could it be that the king of Changsha is in power, and you, as an eagle dog, have the right to show off your might to me?"

With a chuckle, he drank the wine in the glass, and a hint of sarcasm slipped across the corner of his enchanting mouth.

"You have always been able to hear and see clearly. Presumably the princess of Changsha intends to avoid living in a side courtyard. The rumor that the king of Changsha prefers the fourth wife of the Fu family has already known."

"good."

"You must be wondering why the fourth wife of the Fu family can be so lucky at this critical moment? Fu Zhu, but he would rather die than prevent the King of Changsha from ascending the throne."

Seeing that the eldest princess is full of flair when she is proud and rampant, Hua Jingrong was intoxicated, but couldn't help being surprised.

He thought of a possibility.

"Have you not--"

The eldest princess covered her mouth and smiled, even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were mocking.

"If I can't be prepared for everything, how can I stand still for decades? Hua Jingrong, Hua Jingrong, you are so stupid and cute."

She put down her fan, stood up, and said condescendingly:

"Since you are a hawk dog, you have to act like a hawk dog. Follow Shichiro carefully, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't even think about what you shouldn't, and don't touch what you shouldn't—— Touch. Of course the clothes of the Xiao family are bright and gorgeous, but the skin under the clothes is beyond what you can imagine."

Afterwards, Lian Pao left, and his arrogant back gradually merged into the strong light, making Hua Jingrong who stayed in place dazzled for a while.

I thought that after more than ten years of hard work, I finally had the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with her, but in the end——

Still vulnerable.

"Xiao Yu, you are ruthless! You can use your own flesh and blood as pawns, you... are just a monster!"

……

……

The men in the former dynasty fought upside down, but in the harem, they always maintained a calm face.

King Yuzhang rebelled, but his biological mother was still an upright queen, and King Changsha cherished face, so although the queen's words and deeds were inevitably monitored, she was still the honorable mother of a country on the surface.

After spending a sleepless night, Li Ci was invited by the queen and came dressed up. When she stepped into the Golden Bamboo Elegant House, what she saw was a scene of peace and contentment.

The fine grass woven mat is bordered with gold silk, and the female crown wearing Taoist costumes sits in front of the small red clay stove. The owner of the room, Empress Shangguan, is dressed in plain clothes and sits on the ivory mat. There are layers of treasure hairpins, and two long tortoiseshell hairpins without any impurities are wrapped with gold and silver ribbons, and the shawls fall down, elegant and graceful.

The queen was reciting the Buddha's name, seeing Li Ci salute her, put down the Buddhist scriptures with a smile on her face, and ordered the palace servants to add a brocade mat.

He was actually sitting at the same table as the queen!

Seeing her being treated so courteously, Li Ci couldn't help becoming panicked. He sat upright carefully, with his hips not touching his legs, and was ready to get up at any time.

The queen saw her cautiousness, but she didn't say anything clearly, she just turned her face and joked to the Taoist nun in feather and star crown, and said, "Mingji, could it be that I was too serious and scared the fourth lady of the Fu family?"

The female crown was guarding the fire carefully, and said with a smile: "My lady is so beautiful in the world, who would dare to be presumptuous? Besides, there is no such romantic figure as King Runan today, so it is natural for my lady to be more cautious."

This female crown spoke wittily, but was vehemently pungent. She was the Shangguan female crown whom she had met in Weifangyuan teahouse. Seeing that she was remembering the past, Li Ci hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, saying: "The immortal's words are serious."

Shangguan female crown returned the courtesy and said: "Lady, don't be restrained, my aunt really values ​​you, so she invites you to have tea at the same table."

Li Ci hurriedly made a gesture of being flattered, but she couldn't feel more relaxed in her heart.

At this time, the water was already slightly boiling, with bubbling, Shangguan Nuguan hurriedly fetched a ladle to scoop up water, and stirred the water to add tea, for a moment, she had no time to worry about it.So it became a gesture of Li Ci and Empress Shangguan face to face.

Empress Shangguan looked at Li Ci with a leisurely demeanor, and if she had any deep meaning, she said, "Did Si Niangzi sleep well last night?"

Li Ci squeezed out a smile, and with a third of helplessness, said: "The palace is magnificent, and the palace people are meticulous. Li Ci was flattered for a while, but he couldn't sleep peacefully."

Empress Shangguan nodded, and said: "I've heard about the Changle Palace, it's really hard for you and Zi Niangzi."

"Your Highness—"

Hearing this, Li Ci immediately didn't even need to pretend, she naturally assumed a terrified posture, bowing her body down, not daring to raise her head.

——The virtuous concubine who favored the three palaces was killed by the queen who ordered people to create the illusion of blood collapse while saying "I'm sorry for you" with grace and generosity.

The queen's mind was very simple, she was about to go crazy longing for her son to sit on the throne.In fact, if it wasn't for the sudden death of the emperor and the empress dowager's determination to support King Changsha, King Yuzhang would have already ruled the world by now.

But even if her life hangs in her hands, this woman whose every pore is dripping with the blood of conspiracy is not willing to retreat behind the scenes and become a queen mother in name only!
This cup of tea is destined to be difficult to drink.

Sure enough, as soon as Shangguan Nuguan served the divided tea, the queen signaled the women's crown belt to temporarily withdraw from the left and right, leaving only two nuns and a Wanyi. A cup was pushed down in front of her.

After the rain, in the blue porcelain cup, the tea is green and pleasing, but it only reminds people of the swamp deep in the Southwest jungle.

Li Ci's forehead was already stuck to the straw mat.

"His Royal Highness's deep friendship, women dare not accept it."

Empress Shangguan didn't care about the turmoil in her heart, picked up her own cup, took a sip, and said: "Mr. Li Yishan's Three Bicheng Poems are really good poems."

"Your Highness—"

Li Ci was startled, raised his head, and looked at Empress Shangguan.

The queen put down the teacup, stretched out her hand, and immediately Wanyi stepped forward to help her up.

She walked slowly to Li Ci's side, paused, and walked around behind her in small steps. The long hem of her clothes rubbed against the straw mat, making a rustling sound, which made Li Ci flustered for a while. move.

Finally, the queen broke the silence.

She said, "I want Shangguanqian to die."

Li Ci was silent, she didn't dare to ask why, and she didn't want to know why.

Empress Shangguan wanted her to know.

She said: "Last night, the Mingde Hall reported that Changsha King promised Shangguanqian that if she can help him break the black armor camp, he will make her a concubine after he ascends the throne."

Li Ci understood that Shangguanqian was probably going to use 21st century technology to deal with the cavalry of the cold weapon era, as she expected.But she was always hiding her clumsiness, and she made a panicked gesture on her face, saying: "'Black armor is no more than a thousand, and if it is more than a thousand, you are invincible'." Break through the Black Armor Battalion?"

"Whether it's a demon or not, I don't know. This morning, she has obtained a warrant from the King of Changsha. She ordered the various ministries to urgently dispatch sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, etc., and ordered the Ministry of Industry to send more than [-] people to a place called Daqing. It’s about extracting a thing called oil.”

Sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal?
Daqing?oil?
With a thud in my heart, my worries became reality!
It's just that she knew that the queen was suspicious and vicious, so even if she guessed Shangguanqian's plan correctly, she had to act ignorant and said, "Shangguanqian wants to attack the Heijia camp?"

"The messenger said that he was going to make something called Enneiti or Tienne. The name was very strange, and it was said when the two were intimate, but he didn't hear it clearly."

Empress Shangguan said with a little distress, she naturally didn't know what it was, but Li Ci understood it very well.

It turned out to be TNT!

Shangguanqian has great courage!

It's just that she intends to stop Shangguanqian, but she refuses to become Queen Shangguan's pawn, besides, she is also curious why the queen entrusts her with this "heavy task"?

Because she was raised by that loyal Fu Zhu?

So he picked up the tea and asked innocently: "Why did your mother fall in love with the girl of the people alone? It is true that I have a grudge with Shangguanqian, but she is the king of Changsha's heart, but I live under the fence and have nothing to bind." The power of a chicken, I'm afraid it's not enough if you want to be loyal."

"Si Niangzi is too modest. In the entire palace, apart from you, I am afraid that there is no other person who can do this."

The queen's words obviously meant a lot.

She took out a hairpin from her sleeve, the head of which was made of five bat ring pearls, and the hairpin was full of dragon and phoenix opera beads, and the red gold hollow hairpin was handed over to Lici.

"This is done for the sake of King Yuzhang, and also for the Fu family. Please keep this hairpin. After my son ascends the throne, bring it to him and exchange for what you deserve."

"But—why does it have to be me?"

"Because only if you kill Shangguanqian, will the Empress Dowager turn against Changsha Queen Mother and son."

The gorgeous lips cling to the earlobe, and spit out the second half that makes people fall into the ice cave.

"The most important thing is that you are special. The pain you caused him is far better than losing Shangguanqian!"
