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

"what?!"

The prince widened his red eyes and could not believe what Nan Huaishuo said.

"How dare that fat guy?!"

Seeing that the prince was so angry that he couldn't breathe, Nan Huaishuo hurriedly brought him a cup of tea, patted the prince's back to help him calm down, and fed him tea.

"I wonder if the prince still remembers what I said last time. At the beginning of this winter, Xuzhou had several heavy snowfalls. But now the capital has not had a single snowfall, while Xuzhou has had the heaviest snowfall ever seen in previous years. It has completely turned into a snowstorm."

The prince nodded weakly, "I remember it was you who went to Xuzhou to provide disaster relief."

Nan Huaishuo lowered his head slightly to conceal his expression. He was away for a month to provide disaster relief and became friends with Xuzhou Governor Xu Ce.

More importantly, he learned a secret of Xu Ce, which was enough to make Xu Ce work for him.

"In order to prevent the disaster victims from rioting due to lack of food, Your Majesty also dispatched the Xuzhou Army to provide support. The commander of the Xuzhou Army is Yang Li. During the past month of disaster relief, I have become familiar with both of them."

The prince said nothing and waited quietly for him to continue.

"The day before yesterday, Xu Ce sent me a letter of greeting. In it, he said that Yang Li's Xuzhou army had made unusual movements. The army was gathering in battalions and marching in small groups towards the capital."

The prince's eyes darkened. Xuzhou was not far from the capital, but it was extremely difficult to come to the capital quietly without alerting the court officials in other states and counties, unless he took the mountain road the whole way. If he went through the mountains and forests, it was not impossible.

As if he could see what the prince was thinking and worried about, Nan Huaishuo continued.

"If the Xuzhou army marches 200 miles northeast, they will enter the Chiwang Mountains. The Chiwang Mountains have hundreds of peaks of varying sizes, forming an endless mountain range with complex and steep terrain. The mountains are covered with wild forests and there are many wild animals. It is a place with few people."

Beyond the Chiwang Mountains is Nanyang Mountain, the southernmost mountain in the capital.

"It seems like they want to get here by drilling through the mountain and the wall. Yang Li is really a ruthless character."

Nan Huaishuo nodded. If he didn't have the leverage over Xu Ce and force Xu Ce to work for him, Nan Huaishuo wouldn't have been able to obtain such news smoothly.

In this way, by the time everyone discovered that the Xuzhou army was invading, the Xuzhou army had already reached the edge of the capital. The sudden arrival of the army at the gates of the city would certainly catch them off guard.

Unfortunately, after the Xuzhou army set out from the Xuzhou border, they went straight into the mountains. The surrounding prefectures and counties did not hear any movement, but as long as there was any unusual movement within Xuzhou, it would be difficult to escape the eyes of Xuzhou Governor Xu Ce.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Yang Li would have thought of a way to get rid of Xu Ce, but Xu Ce was able to survive and tip him off safely, which showed that he was right about him, and that Xu Ce was indeed a talent.

"That Yang Li is actually the second brother's man?"

The prince asked sinisterly.

"I investigated Yang Li's background. He has no connection with Nan Heying, but he was promoted by Lord Hu in his early years."

Humph, so that's how it is, the prince sneered disdainfully, and he said how that fat guy Nan Heying suddenly became so courageous as to dare to rebel, it turned out that it was that old fox Hu Ge Lao who instigated it behind the scenes.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with this matter?"

Nan Huaishuo asked with great respect, as if the prince was his backbone. Without the prince, he would be completely unable to handle such a difficult and complicated matter.

The prince smiled with satisfaction. He always liked the way Nan Huaishuo humbly sought advice.

"Since Nan Heying wants to rebel, I am the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course, I cannot sit idly by. When he attacks the palace, I will naturally kill the rebel."

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Hearing this, Nan Huaishuo immediately began to flatter the prince, causing him to fall asleep again in a daze.

Nan Huaishuo bowed and left the inner hall, the flattering smile on his face slowly fading. He had long expected that the prince would make such a choice.

Now the prince's health is getting worse day by day, but Emperor Ming is in good health. How can the prince not be anxious? As long as Emperor Ming dies, the prince can ascend the throne legitimately.

Nan Huaishuo lowered his head and revealed a sinister smile, but who said that the prince was a traitor?

Nan Huaishuo's eyes flashed, the prince was infertile but extremely greedy for the throne, wouldn't this be a perfect bargain for him!

As soon as they got out of the East Palace and got on the carriage, Gu Zhi walked quickly out from the shadows, climbed onto the carriage in a few steps, and sat at Nan Huaishuo's feet.

The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy snow was brewing in the thick clouds.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is pregnant."

Just as Gu Zhi's words came out of his mouth, a bolt of thunder struck from the sky, leaving a golden crack in the sky, and deafening thunder rolled in.

Nan Huaishuo's heart twitched, "What did you say?"

"I just contacted the spy planted in the Crown Prince's mansion. He said that half a month ago, after the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had a fierce quarrel, the imperial physician was summoned. He thought the imperial physician was here to treat the Crown Prince, but he did not expect the imperial physician to go to the Crown Princess's room. After that, the Crown Princess stopped leaving the room, and there were twice as many guards outside the room. Even food was sent in after being checked multiple times to see if it was poisonous."

"By chance, an eyeliner came across the dregs of the medicine the Crown Princess drank and identified it as a medicine for prenatal care!"

Nan Huaishuo, who had just been feeling complacent about being the best-hidden oriole, suddenly felt depressed and shook his head unconsciously. He didn't believe it.

"This is impossible. The Crown Prince is infertile, so how could the Crown Princess be pregnant?"

If the prince had his own child, then when he killed Nan Heying and prepared to succeed to the throne, if Nan Huaishuo killed the prince again, wouldn't that be a good opportunity for the evil child in the princess's belly!

Gu Zhi was completely hidden in a black robe, revealing only a pair of extremely gloomy eyes. His low and hoarse voice rang out in the narrow carriage.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I suspect that this child may be the King of Zhao's."

!!!

Nan Huaishuo, who was in shock, anger and unwillingness just now, suddenly became ecstatic.

"Hahahaha great! This is truly a godsend!"

It seems that no matter whether this child is King Zhao's or not, he must be King Zhao's.

The idiot prince actually thought that Emperor Ming didn't know that the prince was infertile. What a joke! If the prince was not infertile, Emperor Ming would not have kept this sickly boy as the prince for so many years!

Emperor Ming was a man of deep thoughts, who valued the royal family's reputation more than his own life. What he loved most was balancing the forces in the court and playing with power and people's hearts.

He had once received help from the Queen's mother's family at the cost of their entire family's lives in order to help him ascend the throne. This was known to the world, so he would not, nor did he dare, touch the Queen.

Back then, Emperor Ming pushed Nan Baixuan to the position of crown prince only after learning that he was infertile. He sat on the throne for more than ten years.

Over the past decade, Emperor Ming used the Crown Prince to block the ambitions of other princes, balanced the power among the princes, and involved the powerful Lord Hu and Concubine Hu, and made the world believe that he was a wise monarch who was grateful and caring.

it is ridiculous.

However, the prince and the queen actually believed that everything Emperor Ming did was to repay his kindness, and they fantasized that after curing the prince's illness, they would be able to have children and allow the prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

But in fact, Emperor Ming always sent people to keep an eye on the imperial physicians in the Eastern Palace, and he knew every time the prince fell ill.

Nan Huaishuo even suspected that the fact that the prince had been lingering on for so many years, unable to recover from his illness or die, was most likely the work of Emperor Ming.

Just because Emperor Ming still needs the prince as a useful sword and shield.

But if Emperor Ming knew that the prince dared to confuse the royal bloodline in order to succeed to the throne.

Then, the prince will definitely die!

"It seems that I need to adjust my plan."
