Chapter 267

"Xue Ru is dead."

The news came, and Xu Yin was stunned for a while.

Yan Ling smiled mockingly and said to her: "It is said that he is seriously injured and can't stand the punishment. Now it's certain that the Dali Temple Minister is the one of King Duan."

Xu Yin said "um" softly.

Yan Ling found that she looked wrong: "What's wrong with you?"

Even if Xue Ru's death is not worth being happy, there is no need to be so sad, right?

Xu Yin shook her head. She was not sad for Xue Ru's death, but for her father, sister and herself in her previous life. In the end, they didn't know who the enemy was. She had passed by Xue Ru in the palace and never thought that the back was the cause of the tragedy of the Xu family.

"My father was almost killed by her," she said. "It's really not worth it to think about it."

Yan Ling felt relieved and comforted softly: "She has been retribution, and it's the turn of King Duan to come."

Xu Yin breathed out and cheered up again.

That’s right, Xue Ru is just a pawn, and the real culprit is King Duan, and she is still far from taking revenge!

Yan Ling reminded her: "King Duan probably already knows your existence."

Xu Yin didn't care: "Since I took action, I didn't think about being out of the matter. Even if King Duan wanted to take revenge, he had to come out first."

This is true. I have reached this point, are you still afraid of breaking up on the surface?

Yan Ling continued: "There is a minister of Dali Temple who is interfering. It may not be easy to press Duan to death at one time. However, Your Majesty has already become suspicious. Even if Duan is not dead, he will still lose his skin."

Xu Yin nodded. In his previous life, King Duan usurped the throne a few years later. He won over a group of officials and then attracted Yu Chong. He took advantage of the emperor's illness and suddenly launched a coup, and then successfully ascended the throne.

Although King Duan now has a considerable force under his command, the most critical military power has been disturbed. It is not easy to achieve anything like the previous life.

However, she still wanted to give it a try. If she could eradicate the roots, she would avoid the trouble later.

"The reason why the Dali Temple Minister stands on the side of King Duan is probably because of Zhang Huaide." Xu Yin said, "Your Majesty has become more and more addicted to alcohol and sex in recent years, and his health has become worse and worse. Zhang Huaide, a close servant, knows it well and is eager to find a new master for himself."

The emperor suffered when he escaped during the Green Forest Rebellion in his early years, and lived indulgent years and his foundation was broken. But he was not old and looked okay on the surface, but how could he hide this from the close eunuch?

If something happened to the emperor and the prince came to power, the new king had his own confidant eunuch, and the old man Zhang Huaide would have to stand aside. It would be good to be able to safely guard the imperial tomb.

Yan Ling heard what she said: "You mean, let's cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and kill Zhang Huaide? This is probably not easy. He acts cautiously and is in the harem, so there is no one there."

Xu Yin said: "I have a clue, but I'm still looking for a key person. If I can find him, I can try it."

...

Princess Changning didn't sleep well all night. Sometimes it was a dragon boat race and sometimes it was a random arrow, but the assassinated person became his father and brother, which directly scared her to wake her up.

She was exhausted by the nightmare, and she was completely depressed and had no energy at all.

For some reason, when the father was assassinated in her dream, the corner of Xu Yin's skirt was flashing in front of her, as if she saw her usual look of placing a bow and an arrow.

Princess Changning pressed her forehead and felt that she was really in a slightest nightmare.

On the way back to the palace yesterday, she asked the prince: "Brother, is this true? Uncle the emperor wants to usurp the throne?"

The prince was depressed and said, "I don't know. My father said before that I am always so unscrupulous. I may have ambition to take my position after he leaves..."

Princess Changning was stunned for a while before saying, "But Uncle Emperor was very nice to us before."

Speaking of this, the prince smiled sarcastically: "Changning, Concubine De was also very nice to us in the past."

At this point, the prince was more sober than her. He was the crown prince. Concubine Shu and Concubine De both gave birth to princes. No matter how well they were disguised on the surface, he could feel that kind of hostility.

"You don't have to think too much." He comforted his sister, "The father has ordered them to check. We will know soon if it is. If it is true, don't be sad. We were born in the royal family, these things are inevitable. Look at the second and third brothers, aren't they all alienated from us now?"

After Concubine Shu was deposed, the third prince rarely appeared in front of others. Even if he went to school, he was still taciturn. The second prince was better, but he was less and less able to play with them.

Princess Changning nodded heavily: "I understand."

Jinshu came in and saw Princess Changning lying on the table with weak look. He hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Don't you be sick, right?"

Princess Changning asked her to touch her forehead and said, "It's okay, I just haven't had a good sleep."

"Why didn't you sleep well? Was it scared yesterday? I said I should have a bowl of stimulant tea last night. Danmo! Go to the tea room and say it, and cook a bowl of stimulant tea for the princess."

Danmo hurried in and heard her talk about it. She also called the little palace maid. A group of people surrounded Princess Changning to ask about her well-being.

"What are you doing?" A voice came from the door, but the nurturing aunt was coming.

She swept over everyone majesticly and scolded: "I feel panicked when I encounter something, what do you think? The princess is in a bad mood and you still quarrel with her. Do your own business and let the princess rest."

The palace maids immediately fell silent and dispersed.

Princess Changning breathed a sigh of relief, and it was rare to have a slight affection for her upbringing aunt.

Everyone was gone, and the raising aunt comforted her softly: "Princess, are you scared? Why don't you go to school today? I'll ask someone to take a leave, so you can have a day off, okay?"

The parenting aunt who always urges her to go to school actually took the initiative to say she wanted to take leave. Princess Changning was simply surprised: "Is this OK? Will the tutor get angry?"

The nurse raised her smiled and said, "There is a reason for the incident, how can the Grand Tutor get angry? If there is something wrong, I will apologize for you."

Princess Changning was very happy: "Okay! Then I'll take a day off. By the way, I'll tell the Lord of Yongjia County when I'm taking leave."

"Okay, I'll listen to the princess." The nurturing aunt paused and mentioned it inadvertently, "The princess and the county lord are so good, they are inseparable from wherever they go."

"Yes!" Princess Changning said naturally, "We can say it!"

The raising aunt nodded with a smile and then said, "I heard that the county magistrate had a conflict with Miss Yu yesterday, so she went back to the temple to rest alone. The princess went to find her later, but was there a serious injury?"

"It's okay, she just went for a nap, it's great."

"When the princess went, she was still asleep? Haven't she left?"

Princess Changning felt that this was a bit strange and couldn't help but look at her: "I'll fall asleep naturally, otherwise?"
