Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

"What did you say?!"

Nan Huaishuo was extremely shocked and angry. He had endured for more than ten years and never showed his true colors in front of the prince. How could he be discovered now? !

Gu Zhi only showed a normal expression on his face, and was also very surprised.

"Your Highness, our people were very careful and didn't reveal any clues. But for some reason, not long after the New Year, the prince's people suddenly investigated the background of the Minister of War and found Songshan County..."

Assistant Minister of War?

The Assistant Minister of War was indeed his man.

Nan Huaishuo and the newly appointed Vice Minister of War met during the snowstorm in Songshan County, Yanzhou many years ago.

But this matter was extremely secretive, and only a few absolutely loyal guards around him knew about it.

How did the prince find out? No, the question is why did he find out? Why did he become suspicious?!

But now is not the time to pursue this matter. If the prince becomes suspicious of Nan Huaishuo, all his hard work over the years will be in vain!

"Stop! Your plan to sow discord between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, stop everything!"

"But Your Highness, if we stop now, we will be attacked from both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and the situation will become even more difficult!"

What Gu Zhi said was correct, and his previous plan to sow discord between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince was also a good one, but that was a method he could only use when he was lurking in the dark.

Now that he was inexplicably exposed, no matter what he did, the prince would notice it. More importantly...

Queen!

Although there was no one left from the empress's mother's family, she remained by Emperor Ming's side for many years, which shows how much respect Emperor Ming had for the empress.

In other words, Emperor Ming's kindness to the Empress's maternal family would not make him easily depose the Empress and replace her with another one.

Nan Huaishuo gained the trust of the prince and secretly built up his power. Apart from that, the most important thing was the support of the queen.

In this way, after the crown prince's death, he could quickly stand out among the princes.

Therefore, before the prince dies, one must not be suspicious of him, otherwise the queen will also suspect him!

He originally planned to kill the Crown Prince after he and the Second Prince were both badly injured.

But the current situation may not work. The most urgent task is to regain the trust of the prince and the queen and show loyalty!

"In that case, let's kill the Second Prince! Then the Crown Prince won't be suspicious of me anymore!"

Gu Zhi looked at Nan Huaishuo with surprise, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Nan Huaishuo's decision.

Kill them all!

Only when the court is in turmoil can he fish in troubled waters and find her!

-

In the Second Prince's Mansion.

Nan Heying frowned and looked at the nanny kneeling in front of her.

"Did mother really say so?"

"Your Highness, Miss Hu is the only legitimate granddaughter of Lord Hu. The Imperial Concubine means that only if Your Highness marries her can she come out of the nunnery."

Nan Heying's round face was full of disgust, but Concubine Hu was right, this time Hu Ruzhen did it for him.

If he really abandoned Hu Ruzhen, he would probably displease his grandfather, Lord Hu. Now is the critical period for him to suppress the prince's power, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

It's just about adopting a woman and raising her in the backyard. There's no need to offend his grandfather over such a trivial matter.

"Forget it. I will find a chance to talk to Father about this matter. Is there anything else?"

"The Imperial Concubine also instructed that His Highness and Princess Shuyi should resolve their past grievances."

???

At the palace banquet, Nan Heying almost killed Nan Shuning and wanted to put the blame on Lin Yushu.

How can such a huge hatred be resolved? !

"This is impossible."

Nan Heying refused without thinking.

"The Imperial Concubine said that the Queen Mother is now in control of the harem again, and even the Queen has to avoid her. The Queen Mother has already eliminated 30% of our hidden chess pieces in the various palaces."

!!!

Is this something that the Queen Mother, who has been away from worldly affairs for many years and enjoying her retirement, could do? !

She actually has such means? !

Concubine Hu is right. If she doesn't do something, she will be sent to the cold palace by the Empress Dowager.

That was a devastating blow to him.

Nan Heying had a splitting headache and couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, as if he had lost all his strength and means.

"Okay, I'll send someone to visit Shuyue Pavilion again."

After the nanny beside Concubine Hu left, the servant beside Nan Heying stepped forward.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine is being held back by the Queen Mother in the palace, and the Fifth Prince is eyeing us covetously. Although the Crown Prince is weak, I heard that Prince Zhao has been frequently in and out of the East Palace recently. I'm afraid that the Crown Prince has already won over Prince Zhao. Our situation is not good now..."

Nan Heying's face gradually darkened and his expression became fierce.

"I didn't expect that the always neutral uncle would be won over by the prince. The prince's methods are really extraordinary."

"Your Highness, we may seem to be on top of the world, but in reality, it is just a castle in the air. The Crown Prince still has plenty of energy left to fight back!"

After the retainer finished speaking, Nan Heying's face became darker and darker. How could he not know?

Especially since Crown Princess Liu Mei is the cousin of the general, Lin Minglang has already stood on the side of the Crown Prince. If Lin Mingyue also supports the Crown Prince after returning to Beijing victoriously, then he will completely lose his advantage and will no longer be able to turn things around.

"Your Highness, the hidden chess pieces that were planted in the Crown Prince's Mansion are already ready, just waiting for your order!"

The hidden chess piece in the Prince’s Palace!

Those were the people that Nan Heying had placed in the Prince's Mansion over the past few years. Each of them hated the Prince to the core and wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

But assassinating the crown prince is a serious matter. If discovered, he will be killed without a burial place...

Nan Heying's eyes kept changing, and he finally made up his mind.

The prince must not be allowed to live until Lin Mingyue returns to Beijing!

-

Two days later, Bixiao Courtyard.

"Miss, today Madam Wu from the Queen's household and Steward Li from the Second Prince's residence have come to Shuyue Pavilion to make some purchases."

Lin Yushu, who was buried in the medicine jars, raised her head with a look of surprise.

Queen? Second Prince?

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yushu understood.

The Queen and the Crown Prince wanted to win over her and her father and brother, so they spoke for her at the New Year's Palace Banquet, and now they are taking care of her business. These are all gestures made in front of outsiders, making people misunderstand that their family supports the Crown Prince.

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager in the harem attacked Concubine Hu in revenge for the Second Prince's attempt to murder Nan Shuning.

In panic, Concubine Hu asked the Second Prince Nan Heying to send someone to show goodwill, hoping to make up for their measures in order to seek mercy from the Queen Mother.

As luck would have it, the two families came to Shuyue Pavilion at the same time, which allowed Lin Yushu to avoid the suspicion of being drawn into any of their teams.

"Not only that, after the two groups met at Shuyue Pavilion, they all rushed to buy things in the store, as if they were ready to fight!"

"Hahaha, then we're making a killing, aren't we?"

Chuntao's big round eyes were full of joy, and even Shilan beside her couldn't help laughing.

Cuizhu nodded coquettishly, "Yes, my second brother Zhuzi said that Shopkeeper Xiao's face was so happy that it blossomed."

The master and his servants all laughed together.

After a moment, Shi Lan came forward holding a land deed.

"Miss, this is the deed to the courtyard on Xishui Street. Shopkeeper Xiao asked someone to deliver it. He also said that the courtyard has been repaired and you can move in anytime."

Lin Yushu's fair hand gently brushed over the title deed and placed it in the sandalwood box with great care.

She and her father and brother finally had a home of their own.

The cold winter is already halfway over, and in another month, my father and brother will return to Beijing!
