The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

"Yes." Lu Heng nodded, proving that she heard correctly, "It's the palace maids, there are sixteen people in total, and the leader is named Yang Jinying. I have read the records of their entry into the palace during the day, and I haven't found any possibility of collaborating with the enemy."

Wang Yanqing was shocked to hear it. She was so grown up and had read a lot of history books, but this was the first time she had heard of such absurd things. She always thought that it should be a very profound and difficult thing for the palace to become a monarch.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong: "What are you telling me about?"

No matter which dynasty or generation, the emperor was almost killed, it should be a secret, right? Lu Heng thought that Qingqing was really considerate, and she guessed it after he opened his head.

Lu Heng lightly held Wang Yanqing's shoulder and said, "The palace maid's murder of the monarch is already appalling, and the sixteen people were all executed by Queen Fang as soon as the accident happened, including Zhang Jinlian, who was a whistleblower. After all, after a country, I can't To question and interrogate, we can only find a way to find out the truth from the side."

Wang Yanqing understood what Lu Heng wanted to do. She looked at the shadow in the mirror and did not believe it easily: "Even if you can't find out clearly, there are many ways to find out information behind the scenes. I don't know anything about the court, and I'm an outsider. Do you really need me for this secret case?"

Lu Heng sighed. Sure enough, after regaining his memory, he was much smarter and more decisive, and his opinion was obviously changed. This is the vigilance that a woman in a military household who has experienced family ruin and displacement should have. Lu Heng leaned over slightly, looked at her from the mirror, and said slowly, "It's not impossible to use other methods, but it will certainly delay time. Now that Empress Fang has imprisoned Concubine Cao Duan, before I left the palace, I heard that she I'm going to search Concubine Wang Ning. I'm a foreigner, and I can't speak for the concubine. If the situation can't be stabilized quickly, I don't know how many people will die in the palace."

Wang Yanqing knew that Concubine Cao Duan was a pretty woman who loved to laugh and was very endearing. Wang Yanqing had met her several times. With such a young and fresh life, Wang Yanqing couldn't really watch her die, Wang Yanqing sighed, even if she knew that this was Lu Heng's trap, she had to step in: "You don't dare to stop Queen Fang, I count it. What, how can you convince the queen?"

"You don't need to convince her." Lu Heng said, "All power in the world comes from one person, and the emperor is the source of all problems."

Wang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help looking out the window. After confirming that no one was there, she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm just sharing my worries for the king." Lu Heng didn't think he was talking about something outrageous at all, he stared at Wang Yanqing's eyes and said, "The emperor's current situation is very bad, he has been hit, and he can't believe the people around him. If this continues, not only the concubines and concubines of the harem, but also the previous dynasty will be in chaos. The imperial court is about to launch an army to surround and suppress the Japanese pirates. There can be no chaos at this juncture. You can identify anyone's lies. You go to the emperor and tell him who is lying and who is telling the truth. Tell the truth so he can continue to make decisions.”

Wang Yanqing was too shocked to speak. Lu Heng dared to think about such an idea. Isn't he afraid of being labelled as a bullshit to confuse the public and deceive the king?

Lu Heng squeezed Wang Yanqing's shoulder and said, "I am indeed gambling, but based on what I know about the emperor, he will agree."

Wang Yanqing looked at him from the mirror, even at this time, those amber eyes were still sparkling, calm and clear. Wang Yanqing thought to himself, this is really a gambler, a lunatic, and a careerist.

Once this is done, he will have unparalleled influence over the emperor, and accordingly, once he loses, he will be ruined and left with nothing.

Wang Yanqing's eyes were also clear, and she asked blankly, "So you pulled me into the water?"

Lu Heng supported the table with one hand and put the other arm on Wang Yanqing's shoulder. The dark cloak behind him slipped, as if wrapping Wang Yanqing in his arms: "Qingqing, I know you want to leave the capital and find someone with beautiful scenery. It is a place to live a life of independence from the world. But being indifferent to the world is just a beautiful fantasy. If the imperial court is corrupt and the army is in chaos, where will there be a peach blossom garden in the world? Even if you really return to Datong and live the life of your dreams, but If there is civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia will march south. How many innocent soldiers will be killed in your hometown, and how many children will become orphans like you? No one wants to see such a thing happen. Those in the cabinet Worse than me. It's rare that you have such a talent, don't let the pearl get dusty, you think you are an ordinary person, but sometimes, you can make a lot of people survive with a single word."

Wang Yanqing closed her eyes helplessly, never feeling that her shoulders were so heavy: "But I can't even see you. I don't understand your scheming, and I can't do it."

A faint smile appeared in Lu Heng's eyes. Although he has no morality, he is very good at kidnapping others with morality. He stretched out his hand to support Wang Yanqing's hairpin and said, "It doesn't matter, you don't need to understand those calculations. In terms of scheming, no one can count the emperor. You just need to tell the truth."

What Lu Heng said was true. Wang Yanqing had no family background and had not experienced any political training. His thoughts were still based on the "people" mentality that good people should be rewarded and evil people should be rewarded badly. Instead, this was the most reassuring to the emperor. identity of.

Old fritters like Lu Heng and Xia Wenjin, no matter how sincere they are, the emperor will not trust them all.

Wang Yanqing sighed softly, and suddenly his face became solemn, and said coldly, "Stand still."
