Let's follow the king, little master

The sound of beating watch in Xushi spread to all the palaces, but in the third prince's palace, what Concubine Jing heard was not only the sound of beating watch, but also the sound of stones breaking through the paper windows and hitting the floor.

Concubine Jing put on her clothes and wanted to see what happened, but suddenly she was hugged from behind, and finally covered by a big hand.A maid's voice came from outside the door:

"Is the master calling for something?"

The person behind Concubine Jing took out a knife to hold her waist, and then let go. At this time, Concubine Jing replied:

"It's okay, you all go to rest."

"Yes, master." After the maid outside the door finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps.

Concubine Jing felt that the knife in her waist had left her, so she pretended to turn to look at the man, the light was dim, and the man was still masked and dressed in black.

"What do you want to do?" Concubine Jing asked.

"The imperial concubine is so calm, I really can't tell she came from a small place. I'm next to Zhang Hai." After Zhang Hai finished speaking, he took off his mask.

"Zhang Hai?" Concubine Jing frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"The imperial concubine doesn't know me, but I know the imperial concubine very well. The imperial concubine has been able to take the position of the imperial concubine in about a year from a small village in the countryside. She is very capable."

"who are you."

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I don't know if the imperial concubine still remembers the person named Li Mu. I think the imperial concubine must remember the person who is so affectionate." Zhang Hai sat on the chair with a smile.

Concubine Jing slumped on the bed when she heard Li Mu's name. She wished she would forget this name, but she just couldn't.She thought she would never hear that name again in her life.

Zhang Hai was very satisfied with Concubine Jing's reaction, so he said again:

"I think the reason why the concubine became the concubine of the third prince is because she knew that he would become the emperor in the future, but the concubine didn't expect that there would be a third prince suddenly. I don't know if the concubine has seen the third prince or not. Yes, but I know that the person named Li Mu that the imperial concubine knows is very important to the extra prince. Maybe the imperial concubine goes to see him, kills him or arrests him, which will make the imperial concubine become a noble concubine or even One step closer to the queen's road."

Concubine Jing looked at Zhang Hai when she heard this, and remembered that the person she saw today when she went to pay her respects to the queen was the same person who once pulled Li Mu into the carriage and left her behind.She asked the maid in the queen's palace, and found out that she was the civil prince who prevented the third prince from assuming the throne.

"The imperial concubine might as well think about it carefully, I'll come back tomorrow." Zhang Hai said as he wanted to get up and leave.

"Wait." Concubine Jing stood up and said in a firm tone, "Don't wait for tomorrow, I want to see Li Mu."

"The imperial concubine is really decisive in doing things. I will take my leave." Zhang Hai flew away after speaking.

So just like this, when Li Mu was sitting on the blanket with Xiao Qi in Guan Zhihuan's room, basking in the sun while cheering Guan Zhihuan up, a servant suddenly walked in and said that there was a letter from Li Mu .

The servant knew that Xiaoqi was afraid to enter the house, but this Xiaoqi didn't care about it before Li Mu stood up and walked to the door. He stretched out his hand to hold the letter, Xiao Qi didn't wait for him to open his mouth to grab the letter, when the man saw Xiao Qi opened his mouth, he yelled and ran away.

"You know how to bully people." Li Mu said as he took the letter from Xiao Qi's mouth.

Li Mu opened the letter and saw that it read:

Xiao Mu, I know you are in the capital, I miss you very much, I met you once, and I will wait for you at Lanting in the suburbs of Zi at the end of today, see you soon.Han Jingwen.There was also a handkerchief in the letter with the word "Jing" written on it, which was exactly the same as the one Han Jingwen had given him back then.Li Mu was very happy to see the letter. He heard from his mother that Han Jingwen had entered the palace, but he didn't expect to see her again. When he thought of meeting his old friend, Li Mu didn't think too much about it.

"What's so happy about it?" Guan Zhihuan said looking at Li Mu who was very happy since he opened the letter.

"I'm going to meet an old friend." Li Mu said.

"It's a coincidence that the letter arrived. The letter arrived right after the general left." Guan Zhihuan said.Li Mu thought that Guan Zhihuan said it unintentionally, and he didn't care about it.Unexpectedly, Guan Zhihuan went on to say, "It's better to have someone accompany you if you go today, it will be very dangerous to go out alone in these two days."

"Got it." Li Mu put the letter away and nodded.

It is not unreasonable for Guan Zhihuan to advise Li Mu in this way. Ever since the queen got angry with Yu Che, she no longer cares whether the emperor is dead or alive, and directly led people into Weiyang Palace, but it is a pity that after entering, she found The emperor was not there, so after discussing with Hua Zhi, she concluded that she had been tricked.

"Back then, I should have just barged in. Lin'er had already ascended the throne." The queen said angrily.

"It's not too late now. The emperor is gone. He must have hidden him in advance because he was afraid that we would know the emperor's death. Now the second prince must have been robbed by him. He just won a battle and was thinking about the throne." , He forgot that I am the one with the military power. Today we will gather all the ministers, expose him and let Lin Er ascend the throne." Hua Zhi said.

So just like that, Hua Zhi sent people to summon all the officials in the Queen's Huayang Palace, and told them the fact that the emperor and the second prince had disappeared. The officials were very panicked when they heard it, but they didn't want Hua Zhi to suddenly pull out his sword at this time. ,explain:

"The country cannot be without a master for a day. It seems that only the third prince can inherit the throne, and he was born to the empress. In order to stabilize the foundation, let the third prince take the throne today."

"But, General Hua." Yan Ye, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, said, "We are not sure about the emperor's news and how to let the third prince ascend the throne. This is really unreasonable."

When Hua Zhi heard this, he kicked over and pointed his sword at him:

"What can't be justified, don't you think I, Rui Chao, will fall into the hands of that shameless kid?"

"That's not what I meant." Yan Ye hurriedly explained, "The third prince needs to find a good day for his enthronement, right? I'll send someone..."

"No need. Just today, in order to consolidate the foundation of the country, let the third prince ascend the throne today."

When the ministers heard this, you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to stand up and say anything.But they don't know that this grand drama of winning the title has only just begun, and no one can guess the final outcome.

In the Hall of Zhonghe, all the ministers stood tremblingly in the hall, and outside the door were guarded by Hua Zhi's men with knives, no one dared to move.Suddenly, the eunuch's voice "The emperor is here" broke the tranquility of the hall.Then Mu Zilin, who was wearing a dragon robe, walked into the hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers looked left and right, looking at the guards with knives all around, they could only kneel down to pay respects.

"Everyone is in peace." Mu Zilin said.

Mu Zilin looked at the ministers below, and was about to sit on the dragon chair when he heard the sound of a knife being drawn outside the door.Hua Zhi just hurriedly opened the door to check, but when the door of Huayang Hall was opened, everyone in the hall was stunned. Outside the door, Yu Che and Mu Zihui supported a person who was standing at the gate. This person was not someone else. It was Emperor Ruiwu himself.

The ministers inside saw the emperor hastily kowtowed, Hua Zhi was kicked away by the people around Emperor Ruiwu, and Mu Zilin hurriedly knelt down while shaking his body.

"Father, Royal Father." Mu Zilin said in a trembling voice.

"Father? You rebellious son! I'm not dead yet! How dare you do such a rebellious thing!" Emperor Ruiwu gasped for breath and coughed twice, then pointed at Mu Zilin, "Put him in prison!" Go to prison and never let him out!"

Hearing this, the guards behind him stepped forward to hold Mu Zilin and prepared to drag him out, but they didn't expect the Queen's voice to come from the hall.

"No one is allowed to touch him!" The queen said, running to Mu Zilin and pushing away the two guards, then hugging Mu Zilin tremblingly.

"Empress." Mu Zilin buried his head in the empress' arms with a look of fear.

"Your Majesty! The Emperor has been ill for a long time and doesn't know the situation in the palace. Prince..." The Empress wanted to explain but was kicked by the Emperor.

"You woman, you actually poisoned me. Are you the same Che'er you were back then! It was my fault that I didn't investigate back then so that you are so rampant now that you have harmed my princes." The emperor said, "Come on, Put the queen into limbo! And Hua Zhi punished her..."

"Royal Father." Yu Che interrupted Emperor Ruiwu, "Eldest Princess."

Only after Yu Che did so little did Emperor Ruiwu realize that the eldest princess married Hua Zhi's son, so Emperor Ruiwu changed his words: "Take Hua Zhi out and behead him for public display."

So far, the queen's party has never risen again.It's just that the matter was over before Muzilin ascended the throne, the prince committed suicide in his own palace.

Although the emperor stood up in time, he was holding on with his last breath. When he heard the news that the prince had committed suicide and the second prince had disappeared, he lay down on the dragon bed again, but this time he knew that he was powerless. .So before he died, he summoned Yu Che and Prime Minister Cheng Fang, and left a will for his death.

In the year 232 of the Rui Dynasty, Emperor Ruiwu died at the age of 42.
