After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The queen looked at Liu Yunxiang in front of her. She was just a little palace maid, but she dared to talk shamelessly about cooperating with her, the master of the harem. She should have ridiculed her, but she thought that since this woman entered the palace, Jin You, who had always been in power, had been repeatedly frustrated, and even she had fallen into trouble.

Maybe she shouldn't underestimate her.

only……

"If you cooperate with me, you are going against Lao Qi. Aren't you afraid that he won't want you?" the queen asked, raising her eyebrows.

It's a trivial matter for a woman to be jealous and bitter, but if it touches a man's interests, two people who are in love will break up.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Why didn't you say I didn't want him anymore?"

"What a big breath!"

"It's just a man!" Liu Yunxiang's eyes deepened, "My Lady should know very well that some men are not worth it."

The queen lowered her eyes, thinking that Liu Yunxiang must have been heartbroken by Yan Mu and had grown to hate her out of love.

"So what's your plan?"

Liu Yunxiang leaned over and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the queen's expression changed, "How did you know that the emperor..."

"Empress, that's my business. All you have to do is let her eat this thing."

The queen looked at the package Liu Yunxiang thrust into her, hesitated for a moment, opened it, and was startled, "Peanuts?"

Late at night, Yan Mu was sitting by the hot spring pool in Yan Mu's courtyard, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He raised his head and took a sip from time to time. His face was cold and careless.

"Lao Qi, what did you say?" Zhu Qingjia asked.

Yan Mu looked up at the three people sitting not far away, Shangguan Xu, Jin You and Zhu Qingjia. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, "What?"

Zhu Qingjia rolled her eyes and said, "We are discussing important matters. Can you concentrate more?"

"Ah."

Zhu Qingjia had no choice but to repeat: "Yesterday, the mad woman was poisoned by the emperor's order. After hearing the news, Marquis Wu actually committed suicide."

This powerful and treacherous official has deep connections and ruthless methods. He has been fighting them to the death over the years, but his weak spot is actually a woman.

Zhu Qingjia glanced at Shangguan Xu as he spoke. He was in his fifties, but his face was smooth and smooth, and he didn't look old at all. He was smiling at the moment, but the smile was a bit cold, and he was not in a good or bad mood.

Just as he was about to continue, Shangguan Xu suddenly laughed.

"Damn it, this old guy actually committed suicide for a woman! I entered the palace with him and served the emperor together. After fighting openly and secretly for so many years, I finally beat him down and even thought about humiliating him in prison. After a meal and a show of force, he committed suicide!"

"But I don't understand, is it worth it for a woman?"

When he said this, he looked at Yan Mu, his look was reproachful, but also truly puzzled.

Yan Mu took another sip of wine and said, "It's not worth it."

"It seems you are still somewhat awake..."

"It can't be helped."

Shangguan Xu glared at Yan Mu angrily. A few days ago, he beat the fourth prince for Liu Yunxiang. Yesterday, he made the fourth prince embarrassed in public for Liu Yunxiang. This did not benefit them at all.

In front of all the civil and military officials, if the fourth prince makes a fool of himself, it means that the royal family makes a fool of himself, and the emperor makes a fool of himself.

If it was to show the emperor how useless the fourth prince was, it was even more unnecessary, because the emperor knew very well and had never considered making him the crown prince.

And if he showed his edge in public, the emperor would feel threatened.

Jin You picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Shangguan Xu, "Father, Xiao Qi still has some sense of proportion."

"Hmph, he was just too careful not to kill the fourth prince!"

Zhu Qingjia coughed twice and continued: "With the fall of Marquis Wu, King Suping will return to the capital soon, and the situation will definitely change. If we can get the emperor to appoint the ninth prince as the crown prince before he returns to the capital, then he will return to the capital. It will be difficult to change the situation in the future. If we continue to investigate the case of General Yan's rebellion, Lao Qi, your long-cherished wish will come true."

Yan Mu's eyes were a little sharper, "He won't be able to establish a throne easily."

Shangguan Xu snorted, "If the deposed prince plots rebellion, he will feel threatened whether it is the third prince, the fourth prince, or you, but the ninth prince is young, which can make him feel at ease. In addition, the third prince and the fourth prince It’s really useless, and you…”

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, "I am his shame."

"When Marquis Wu fell and King Suping was still outside, our power in the court was now overwhelming. This opportunity was rare, so as long as the issue of establishing a prince was brought up when the court went to court, everyone would recommend the Ninth Prince. Not far away from ten.”

Yan Mu nodded, "Okay, I agree."

Shangguan Xu was silent for a moment, "Then you should be more peaceful these days, and You'er, please coax the emperor more and please him."

"Father, I know." After Jin You finished speaking, he sighed slightly, "If there is no other way, I really don't want Xiaojiu to be a prince, but in order to avenge the Yan family, I admit it."

"Don't worry, no matter you are your adoptive father or the seventh child, we will all be grateful to you."

"No, no, General Yan and his wife are very kind to me. Xiaoqi is my relative, and I should be so."

"In the future, we will also support the Ninth Prince."

"Well, thank you stepfather."

Yan Mu stood up at this time, walked to the three people, and said: "When the Yan family's case is vindicated, I want to leave Shengjing, no, leave Darong."

Shangguan Xu frowned, "You want to leave?"

"Well, take Liu Yunxiang and Xingyi with you."

"Don't fucking go crazy with me!"

"Father, now that I'm gone, you can actually feel at ease, right?"

Shangguan Xu stood up suddenly, "What do you mean?"

Yan Mu was silent and said: "The Ninth Prince can sit on that throne, so can I, right?"

"you!"

"But I can't control it."

Yan Mu said, looking down at Jin You, "It's just sister, I'm going to feel sorry for you."

Jin You let out a long sigh, "Xiao Qi, it's not just that you can't forgive me, you... that's all. As long as you are happy, my sister will obey you. However, you shouldn't talk to your adoptive father like this. Apologize to him quickly."

Yan Mu looked at Shangguan Xu again, "Father, please let me go."

Shangguan Xu flicked his sleeves and said, "I just want to raise a white-eyed wolf!"

After speaking, he left angrily.

Jin You sighed and left. Zhu Qingjia frowned and stepped forward to hit Yan Mu on the shoulder.

"You are really crazy. How could you openly fall out with your adoptive father? You..."

"If I want to escape, I have to break up."

"Is it really worth it for Liu Yunxiang?"

Yan Mu smiled bitterly, "There's no point in whether it's worth it or not. Even if I sincerely say shit to her, that's what I'm willing to do. Who told me to love her?"

Zhu Qingjia sighed, "Then does she love you?"

"Love."

"Do you love me so much that you are willing to give up everything for you?"

"I don't care how much she loves me."

On the other side, in front of the west wall of the back garden, a dark figure rolled in.

Liu Yunxiang was hiding in the dark. When he saw someone coming, he looked around and then walked out.

Seeing her, the shadow quickly pulled down the veil.

"girl!"

The man in black was none other than Zi Jin, with unconcealable joy on his usually expressionless face.

Liu Yunxiang pulled Zijin to a secret place and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Everything is fine, both the young master and the young lady are fine."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Did you get what I asked you to get?"

Zijin nodded hurriedly and handed a small porcelain bottle to Liu Yunxiang, "Doctor Qu said that this is highly poisonous, colorless and odorless."

Liu Yunxiang took the small porcelain bottle with a cold light in his eyes.

"Remember what I told you, find a way to bring Xing Yi and Yan'er out of Yan's Mansion, prepare Xin Ruan, and just wait for me to leave the palace, we will leave immediately."
