Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

With Cai Chong's current reputation in the court, if he stirs up trouble, the civil officials will go on strike, and if he raises his arms, all officials will become lazy in their work. Not to mention Shen Yangui, even Mo Chengying will have to be wary of him.

Relying on this point, he felt that even if he lost, Shen Yangui would not dare to do anything to him for a while.

If he wins, he can hold the emperor hostage and take control of the government; if he loses, he can escape unscathed and continue to serve as prime minister.

This is the foundation he has laid over his many years in the court, and it is something he is proud of.

Shen Yangui leaned against her husband's chest, turned her head, and looked at the mountain not far away.

The name of the mountain is Luoxia, and the whole mountain is covered with red maples.

The autumn is deep and the mountains are as red as blood.

When the autumn wind blows, the past comes flooding back.

Lin Huiru's brother killed Shen Yanxiu, and God could not bear to see it. The Lin brothers went to a banquet, and on the way back, they encountered a landslide, and several carriages were covered with mud and sand.

No one survived.

Madam Lin couldn't bear the blow and vomited blood. She soon passed away. Lord Lin also fell ill and his health deteriorated day by day.

Fortunately, the youngest son went to his father-in-law's house after his marriage, otherwise the Lin family would have been extinct at that time.

Well, that's what God does.

Always stand on Shen Yangui's side.

Shen Yangui met Danzhu and told her to be careful about the severity of the punishment when punishing the Shadow Guards so as not to miss the important things that will happen later.

After several struggles, the garrison general Chen Qi finally decided to follow Prime Minister Cai. On the second day after he made up his mind, officials of the fourth rank and above in the court received a secret letter.

Someone invited them to Maple Forest Garden in Luoxia Mountain to taste tea and enjoy the autumn.

There is no signature, and a special statement is made not to spread it outside.

Some court officials received the letter and rushed to Cai's mansion one after another.

Cai Chong also learned about this after reading the letter, "Nine out of ten, it was done by the princess."

"Princess?" Wu Zhi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said, "The last time I went to the Plum Garden, I brought a doctor with a keen nose and asked him to disguise himself as a servant and go with me to see her. The doctor said that the princess used a lot of hemostatic drugs and her injuries were serious."

"It's obvious that the woman must have been feeling better recently, and she heard the rumors and wanted to win us over."

"Princess, you think too highly of yourself and underestimate our loyalty to the Prime Minister."

"Are you going?" Han Yang asked.

"Go, why not? We are eight feet tall men, how can we be afraid of her?"

Han Yang asked worriedly, "Could this be a trick?"

"Fraud?" Lord Hua of the Honglu Temple, Hua Shan'er's father, said with a smile, "You all don't know that the Maple Forest Garden on Luoxia Mountain was once owned by me. Because of its beautiful scenery, it was taken away by Her Royal Highness the Princess and incorporated into the Plum Garden."

"The maple tree branches can't bear heavy objects. The yard and the house are clearly visible. She wants to hide someone."

Lord Hua shook his head, "No way."

It was obvious at a glance that something was not right and they could just not go in.

If she couldn't hide people, she would lose the possibility of ambush and attack.

Everyone laughed loudly.

"Even if she can hide people, so what? Everyone present here is an important official from various departments in the court. Does she dare to kill us all at once?"

"That's right. If she wants to be a lone king, she can just live alone in Luoxia Mountain. Why bother with all this trouble?"

If important officials in the court were to get into trouble at the same time, not only would the impact be terrible, the entire court would be paralyzed. Anyone with a normal mind would not do such a thing.

Han Yang was a cautious person. He looked at Cai Chong and asked, "What do you think, Lord Prime Minister?"

Cai Chong frowned and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Where is Cheng Ruogu?"

"That old man is very tight-lipped, but his daughter happened to be in my military department at the moment. She is a smart girl, but a little immature and has no control over her words. When she received the invitation, she wanted to announce to the world that the princess invited her to Luoxia Mountain to enjoy the scenery."

"Without a signature, how would she know it was the princess's invitation?"

"She said she knew the handwriting. I had her invitation checked and it was exactly the same as mine."

Tap, tap—Tsai Chong’s fingers fell on the table in a regular pattern.

"She is just a woman, why should you be so afraid?"

A woman who could easily kill twenty of his own warriors is no ordinary person.

However, Cai Chong didn't think that Shen Yangui dared to kill so many people at once.

He read the invitation again. There was a requirement on it: one must bring the invitation to attend the appointment. It was so cautious that one must be searched before entering.

"Just in case, everyone should replace your personal servants with armed guards and find a way to hide the weapons."

Han Yang: "Prime Minister has thought it through."

Wu Zhi: "Maybe this is also our chance."

Opportunity to counterattack.

The day before the appointment, Cai Chong summoned the garrison general Chen Qi alone.

"Tomorrow, General Chen should not go up the mountain. Stay at the foot of the mountain to provide support. If there is any accident, Minister Wu will give a signal, and the general will lead his troops up the mountain to encircle and suppress the enemy. We will do it once and for all."

Chen Qi clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

"If the situation is bad, you should focus on self-protection."

"My subordinate understands!"

On a night in late autumn, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the faint light of the lanterns was wrapped in layers of thick ink.

The carriage came out of the side door of the prime minister's residence and traveled two or three miles.

The lantern swayed and was extinguished by the night wind. The sound of wheels stopped, and Chen Qi asked, "What happened?"

"My Lord, the lantern has gone out. It will be fine soon."

After half a cup of tea, the lanterns were lit again and the carriage started moving again.

When the sun came out at dawn, Mo Chengying was already lying in the ginkgo forest.

His eyes were fixed on Luoxia Mountain.

"Don't worry, little uncle. Little aunt is both intelligent and brave, and has both literary and martial skills. Nothing will happen to her."

Lin'an knelt beside him, calmly picked up the silver chopsticks to pick up the cakes.

That square dessert just can’t be picked up.

How could she be calm if even a calm person like her uncle was not calm?

Lin'an put down his chopsticks silently.

"My princess is the most powerful. She will definitely return safely."

Only Qingshuang was by his side today. She spoke proudly and firmly, but when she added tea to the prince, the hot water poured over his hand, drawing Mo Chengying's gaze back from Luoxia Mountain.

Mo Chengying looked at her quietly.

"My Lord, this slave did not mean anything."

What on earth did Poshan see in this silly girl?

Mo Chengying shook the water off his hands.

There was bound to be a bloody battle in Fenglin Garden today. He had wanted to go along, but after coaxing Qingqing for several days, using both soft and hard tactics, she just wouldn't agree.

The courtiers were too familiar with him.

Not to mention changing clothes and wearing a mask, even disguise would be useless.

Even with just one glance, those court officials could immediately smell the scent of death and sense that something was wrong.

Mo Chengying has a clear mind and can only put the overall situation first.

?Luoxia Mountain Maple Forest Garden.

The courtier came to the appointment in his ordinary clothes. There were two guards guarding halfway up the mountain. They only checked the invitation and entered with a servant, but did not check the official's belongings.

Wu Zhi smiled and said to the people around him: "Look, she doesn't even have this little bit of vigilance. The Prime Minister still overestimated her."

"Your Excellencies are polite."

Cheng Yijin came out of the courtyard and clasped her fists from a distance, "The princess is already waiting for you in the teahouse."

She bent down and held out her hand, "My Lords, please come this way—"

After walking a few dozen steps into the courtyard, you can see a house with the main door wide open. The windows are covered with bright paper, and the house is bright.

The princess sat in the main seat, with a guard kneeling behind her. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the house that was clearly visible.

The courtiers walked in with their servants at ease, chatting and laughing.

As soon as the last person stepped in, Cheng Yijin closed the door from the outside.

"boom!"

The atmosphere changed instantly.
