Chapter 541 Asuka Loses Plane
King Nanhuai naturally understood the emperor's thoughts very well.
Now he is like a grandson in front of the emperor. The emperor told him to go east, but he dared not go west.
Tonight's state banquet, he was invited to attend, originally to help prepare for the palace, but Shangqiu let him enter the palace tonight as a guest, since the emperor intends to promote him to Taiwei, he has to keep his status reserved .
That is to say, the grandson has done this for the time being, and he can slowly try to be an uncle again.
Moreover, Shangqiu pays close attention to news from the frontier.
Xiao Xiao is temporarily taking the position of marshal, and Murong Jie is seriously injured.
He only believed the first part of this news, but not the latter part about Murong Jie's serious injury.
If Murong Jie was seriously injured, how could Xiao Tuo and others be willing to come back? Although the emperor's fate is hard to do, but the general is away, and the emperor's fate is not accepted. At most, he will come back in the future to plead guilty to the emperor, which is not a big deal.
Moreover, since the development of the army, there has not been any major battle, but it is just a small fight.
With Murong Jie's strategy and battlefield experience, it would be unbelievable if he was seriously injured in this small fight.
However, if Murong Jie hadn't been seriously injured, and the front line made Xiao Xiao the acting marshal, what would Murong Jie do?
This is something Shangqiu has been puzzling over.
He also informed King Nanhuai of this concern.
"You mean, he will come back to assassinate this king?" King Nanhuai sneered, "He dare not, doesn't he still have the same life Gu?"
"If you say, Xia Zian found a way to undo the same fate Gu?" Shangqiu said.
King Nanhuai was taken aback, this may not be impossible, Xia Zian's medical skills are really superb.
"It seems that we have to ask Fang'er again." King Nanhuai pondered for a moment.
Shangqiu shook his head, "No, the lord must not contact Sun Fang'er now. Before Sun Fang'er gave you the antidote to help you detoxify, someone has already followed him. Now the emperor has not cleared up your doubts. You still have to be cautious."
"Sun Fang'er is the future concubine of this king, and the emperor is well aware of this."
"He knows it well, but he will never let you marry Sun Fang'er now. In fact, he may never have planned to let you marry Sun Fang'er. Now Sun Fang'er is the one who knows everything about his illness. Sun Fang'er can't go out of the palace, and there must be someone everywhere." Follow, what is the emperor's plan behind this, is the prince still not clear? Sun Fang'er knows everything, once the emperor is completely cured, Sun Fang'er will die!"
King Nanhuai frowned, "It seems that this fate Gu has to be removed as soon as possible."
"Now I still hope not to undo it first, because if the same fate Gu is undone, the regent may not be able to accommodate the prince. This time, his so-called serious injury, will he return to Beijing to plot against you? It's hard to say."
King Nanhuai thought for a while, "You do the math and see if Murong Jie has come back secretly?"
Shangqiu nodded, "I'm planning to do that."
Shangqiu is proficient in Zhouyi fortune-telling, plum blossoms are easy to count, and fortune-telling, seeking one thing, is often the most accurate.
He used tortoise shells for fortune-telling, and tossed them six times over and over again, recording the yin and yang numbers each time.
Then, he drew the hexagram and slowly frowned.
"How is it?" King Nanhuai asked.
Shangqiu put away the tortoise shell and said: "It is the hexagram of Wuwang, a different hexagram, and it is the hexagram of Xiaxia, which means that the thunder of heaven has no delusion, and it means that there is no delusion."
"What does that mean?" King Nanhuai asked puzzled.
"Flying bird lost his plane and fell into the cage. Even if he is struggling to fly, he should just stick to his duty. It seems that Murong Jie has really returned to the capital, and he is suspected of containing the prince. Moreover, the flying bird lost his plane." Falling into the cage means that the Prince Regent has already taken action against the prince when he returned to Beijing."
King Nanhuai was shocked, "He really came back?"
"The hexagram image shows that there is nothing wrong, and there has been a change in the hexagram image, which means that it can be flexible, and the method of flexibility is to be patient and cautious, and keep one's duty."
King Nanhuai thought for a while, "Then the crossbow we wanted to buy before seems to be stopped?"
"Don't act rashly for the time being, and make plans after Xia Zian goes to Beimo. At that time, everyone's eyes will be on Xia Zian, and the regent may follow him secretly. At that time, the prince will not be too late to move. Now I only worry about whether there will be any hints that this bird lost the plane."
King Nanhuai hurriedly said: "Come here, go and check the surroundings immediately to see if there is anyone suspicious."
The guards led the order to go out and walked around outside the mansion. Sure enough, they found a few people secretly poking their heads. When they saw the guards, they hurried away, as if they were monitoring the palace.
The guard hurried back to report, "My lord, I found a few people sneaking around outside the mansion. When they saw their subordinates, they made excuses to walk away. Judging by their steps, they should be masters of the inner family."
King Nanhuai and Shangqiu looked at each other, and it was exactly as he expected.
King Nanhuai gritted his teeth to pieces, unexpectedly Murong Jie came back to deal with him.
Brother, why is this so?
Shangqiu made another calculation and said, "My lord, tonight is a bad omen. After tonight, it will gradually become safe."
"So, it's not suitable for me to go out tonight?" King Nanhuai frowned.
"That's the only way!" Shangqiu said while turning the turtle shell.
"It's just that tonight is a state banquet. If I don't attend, the emperor may have some ideas." King Nanhuai said awkwardly.
Shangqiu smiled, "If you don't excuse your illness, even if the emperor really doubts it and sends someone to investigate, I will have a way to deal with it."
"Take care of your illness?" King Nanhuai thought for a moment, "It's all right, there's nothing I can do about it now, it's the only way to do it, and I'll just listen to the master."
"Just to wrong the prince, drink the croton soup first."
The emperor was very suspicious. He was always on guard against the prince. If the prince didn't attend tonight, he would definitely be suspicious and send someone to question him. Therefore, the only excuse was that he was really sick.
This bitter trick, selling miserable tricks, has always been Nanhuai King's forte.
He said: "Okay, you go to prepare, the king ordered people to enter the palace."
The guards of the palace have to be ordered to enter the palace to ask for leave.
The guards reported to Eunuch Lu that the prince had eaten something wrong, and he had diarrhea early this morning. It has happened more than ten times so far, and he couldn't even walk.
Eunuch Lu sent him back and reported to the emperor.
Sure enough, the emperor became suspicious when he heard King Nanhuai said that he would not be sick. He said, "Officials above the second rank have entered the palace tonight. If he doesn't come, do you have any plans? The curfew has been lifted in Beijing now." , if he makes any plans, he might be caught off guard."
The emperor always remembered that King Nanhuai was best at assassination, and whether all the dead men in his hands were gone has not yet been found out.
Lu Gonggong said: "If the emperor is worried, it is better for the slaves to go out of the palace to find out the truth."
"Well, you take an imperial doctor out, if he is really pretending to be sick, the imperial doctor will be able to see it." The emperor said.
Mr. Lu replied: "Yes, the slave will go now."
After Eunuch Lu finished speaking, he withdrew.
The emperor thought for a while, and ordered Sun Fang'er to come in again.
