【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 176 The Queen Mother who picked up the bargain is very upset 22

"Will this not affect the mission?"

"No, just go ahead and do it."

Yun Xi had a plan in mind and decided to let go first. Besides, there were only 30,000 people in the military camp in the western suburbs mountains, and it would take time to train them into real talents. She had to lie low during this period.

"I've helped the Emperor enough lately. Let him manage things on his own from now on."

In the afternoon, Nanny Yue came back with the results of her sister-in-law's investigation. It was a concubine who bribed the maid who was taking care of the young master to secretly sprinkle ice water on him.

Yun Xi sighed inwardly, the inner court’s methods were truly endless.

"How did the Marquis' wife deal with it?"

Nanny Yue: "Sell the concubine and send the maid to the government office."

Yun Xi was satisfied. "Not bad. Is the child okay?"

Nanny Yue replied honestly, "The young master is much better now. Several imperial physicians jointly diagnosed him and prescribed mild medicine, saying that he should be taken care of slowly. The child is weak and cannot be treated with strong medicine."

"That's right. You should pay more attention to Yuyang and the other kid."

Next, Yun Xi had all the affairs of the women's college handed over to the emperor, and she only focused on taking care of the children and living a leisurely life every day.

On the other hand, although Lian Cheng was not in a state of panic, he was not having an easy time either. After Liang Bao came back, he looked much older, and his previously effective methods were no longer as effective, which gradually made the emperor tired of him.

When the eldest prince was one year old, Lian Cheng had to endure the discomfort and visit other concubines except on the first, fifteenth and thirtieth days, and he felt quite depressed.

Yun Xi watched coldly and didn't care. She would only be interested in which concubine was pregnant.

Winter passed and spring came again. During the spring plowing season, Liang Bao died and became the emperor's scapegoat.

After the Spring Festival, when the emperor was having a meal with his officials, Liang Bao sat next to the emperor and sipped a glass of wine. Unexpectedly, he soon died of poisoning, which scared Lian Cheng to death.

Others may not know, but Lian Cheng knows it. He and Liang Bao had recently had a conflict, and the pot of wine was his. He secretly asked Zhang Lai to give it to Liang Bao as a gesture of comfort. Unexpectedly...

"Zhang Lai, has the murderer been found?"

Zhang Lai answered cautiously, "Your Majesty, Commander Lu conducted a thorough investigation of everyone and discovered that three people were missing: two eunuchs and a maid. Their bodies were found in a lake not far away, and the clues are broken."

"It's broken! How could it be broken? Telling Lu Yangping that he must find the murderer for me is simply audacious!"

Lian Cheng was furious, mainly because he remembered what Yun Xi had said. He wondered if those ministers really dared to kill the king? Did they see that he already had an heir, so they wanted to get rid of him and replace him with a baby who was easier to control?

"Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

Zhang Lai quickly slipped away to find Lu Yangping. His Majesty was furious, and the murderer must be found as soon as possible.

At night, Lian Cheng slept alone in his own Qianqing Palace.

"Liang Bao?"

"Your Majesty, why do you treat me like this? Why?"

"Shangxie, I wish to know you, and to live a long life without end. Even if the mountains are gone and the rivers run dry, and the winter thunders roar and the summer snows, and heaven and earth unite, then I dare to break off my relationship with you."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten our oath? How could you bear it?"

……

Lian Cheng only saw a blood-covered face approaching, pouncing on him with fangs and claws, strangling his neck and not letting go. He felt that he could not breathe in an instant.

"No! Don't do that! Liang Bao! I didn't mean to..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Zhang Lai shook Lian Cheng vigorously. After a long time, Lian Cheng let out a long sigh and recovered.

"Cough cough!"

Lian Cheng stared blankly at the quilt with his head lowered.

Zhang Lai had a sad face, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

After a long time, Lian Cheng finally recovered. He looked at Zhang Lai, who was in tears, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here? It's not your turn tonight."

"Your Majesty, I always felt uneasy when I woke up at night, so I ran to check, but I saw a figure flash by in the hall. I was startled and rushed in quickly, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to be holding his breath..."

Zhang Lai was really scared. As the most powerful eunuch, the only one he could rely on was the emperor. If anything happened to the emperor, he, as his close confidant, would naturally suffer a bad ending.

"Zhang Lai, you saw it! Who is it?" Lian Cheng was in a trance. He grabbed at the straw and shouted fiercely, "Who is it?"

Zhang Lai slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I only saw a slim woman. I couldn't see anything else clearly because it was dark."

"woman!"

Lian Cheng's chilling air was overwhelming, and Zhang Lai nodded. He was indeed not mistaken. The woman had long hair, a slim figure, a big chest, and seemed to have no Adam's apple. It was a pity that the other party jumped out of the window to escape. The distance was too far, otherwise he would definitely catch this regicide!

"Good! Good! Good! If one plan fails, come up with another vicious one!"

The lights in the Qianqing Palace are on from midnight until dawn.

Lu Yangping and Liu Ying were called in, and all the palace maids were arrested and interrogated, without exception, and Yun Xi was no exception.

"Feng An, please send someone to look after it and make sure it doesn't get hurt by my palace maids. Also, if there is any news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, please report to me immediately." Yun Xi was lying on the couch, chatting with the system.

"Who took action?"

The system checked quickly, "The former five princes were the masterminds, and the former thirteenth prince was also involved."

Yun Xi frowned, "They still don't give up? This old man is already half paralyzed, what good will it do him to do this?

Speaking of which, the emperor was very generous to his brothers. He only punished the eleventh prince who harmed him. The second, fourth, fifth and ninth princes were still treated according to the previous emperor's treatment. They were confined in the mansion and never lacked food and supplies. The second prince was poisoned and weak, the fourth prince had a broken leg, the fifth prince was half paralyzed, and the ninth prince was blind in one eye. None of them were qualified to ascend the throne.

As for the Thirteenth and Sixteenth Princes, they were born late and didn't participate in the fight for the throne. After they came of age, they were granted the title of Prince, far away from the center of power. It's normal for them to feel dissatisfied. "

"They can't, but they have children. You're thinking too simply."

The system's words were like a wake-up call. Yun Xi suddenly realized that since he couldn't be the emperor due to his disability, he could be the emperor emeritus. This was really a good plan.

Yun Xi asked again, "Which officials were involved? During the succession struggle, the officials who relied on these failed princes should have been eliminated by the late emperor, right?"

System: "They've definitely done it openly. Those who are hiding deep down naturally haven't been discovered. As for which ones, it's up to you to find out. I'll keep it a secret."

Yun Xi pondered for a moment, took out a pen and paper and began to recall and record. She left the parts she didn't know blank and asked Xiu'er when she came back.

The original owner's memories of state affairs were mostly from recent years. He didn't pay much attention to the past and really wasn't cut out for it. Think about the Fourth Master, who was vindictive and dealt with all his former competitors after ascending the throne. This is a true political master who leaves no hidden dangers.

In comparison, the original owner and the emperor were like political novices, too content with the status quo.
