Chapter 286 Edge!



Ruyi was also terrified when she heard this, "Is someone planning a mutiny? Or are they sending gunpowder into the city?"

“…”

The emperor took a deep breath and looked at her with eyes as scorching as black flames.

After a long time, he glanced at Li Xiangyi and said, "You have chosen the lucky star Ziwei well. You are a natural genius, but you have buried it before."

Li Xiangyi: "..."

At this point, he could only smile and say, "When I first met her, I found that she had a photographic memory and was shocked at the time. It's a pity that she was born in the Shen family."

At that time, he really wanted to take Ruyi as his disciple, and he even used a secret recipe that had long been lost in the secular world to seduce her.

Thinking about it now, it’s hard to put it into words.

The emperor didn't think so, "The Shen family is just a grinding stone."

Now that the boat has passed through thousands of mountains, he looked at Ruyi and said, "Let me make a bold guess, who wants to move?"

As one wishes:"……"

Finally, she could only lower her eyes and said, "Ruyi dare not say."

"I grant you innocence. Speak, you must speak," the emperor looked at her, "You are not your master. He can only hide in the dark. You stand in front like a target, you must charge into battle."

After hearing this, Ruyi had a direct feeling about her identity.

She and the emperor are the two sides of the same coin.

What does it mean?

She and the emperor share the same fate. If Fuxing falls, Ziwei will die; if Ziwei falls, Fuxing will die.

From now on, she and the emperor are one.

Taking a deep breath, Ruyi said, "When I was at the Shen family, I followed Shen Jiaojiao to Yingchun Tower, where I met the Third Prince."

She didn't start from the present, but from the previous clues: "Now, the defense map sent by Shen Jiaojiao has been intercepted, so why are Nan Yan and Nan Chu still watching and so anxious?"

"This proves that another defense map has been sent out."

"Then, the only way it can go is the Third Prince's way."

She raised her head, suppressed her fear, and looked at the emperor. "When the Third Prince tracked down Shen Jiaojiao, he did not supervise it personally at the beginning. He rode out of the city gate only after the Crown Prince was assassinated."

"Afterwards, Shen Jiaojiao was not found."

"Up to this point, things were developing smoothly without any major disturbances, but then the emperor asked him to reflect on the past behind closed doors."

"This month was something he couldn't stand."

The emperor slowly clenched his hands on the table, staring at Ruyi, "Why can't he bear it?"

The little girl in front of me still looked very young, but her eyes were as bright as stars in the darkness.

The sharpness of her words made him look sideways.

Ruyi didn't want to show her strength so soon, but she had no choice, because if the third prince succeeded, her safety would be immediately threatened.

The emperor's death proved that she, the lucky star, was a fake.

At that time, the third prince would have a reason to kill her directly.

She had no other choice but to fight back.

Ruyi took a deep breath, raised her eyes to meet the emperor's gaze, and said slowly: "Because the palace examination will take place within this month. If he can't seize the initiative, then the tax case involving Shen Jiaojiao may implicate him."

"Colluding with spies from the enemy country will cut off your path to succession."

"After the palace examination, the court will be completely reshuffled, and all his previous efforts will be wasted."

"So he can't be put in solitary confinement this month."

"If it's closed, it's a dead end."

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and Li Xiangyi broke out in a cold sweat.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but isn’t this too fierce?

Who would dare to say such words in front of the emperor?

However, the emperor liked Ruyi at this moment. Through her, he seemed to see the woman who stood at the bow of the ship that year. The fire in her eyes illuminated the darkness like the scorching sun.

Let nothing escape the view!

Yes, it is this power!

Sharp, full of vitality, flamboyant, passionate, and fearless!

The weak Northern Qi needs such power to break through the darkness, tear apart the clouds, shed light, and fight against the enemy!

This is the edge that young people from Northern Qi should have!

The emperor's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes fell on Ruyi's face, "Now, we need two things."

Ruyi continued, "One is evidence, and the other is countermeasures."

"We can settle accounts with evidence later, but we must have countermeasures, otherwise we will be in a passive position!"

The emperor nodded and liked her more and more.

"Tell me about the countermeasures first."

He no longer leaned forward and stared at Ruyi, but leaned back and rested comfortably on the dragon throne.

He wanted to hear how many amazing words this little girl, who had not yet officially entered the court, could say.

The opportunity to meet the emperor is rare, and Ruyi will not be unprepared.

On the way here, she had already thought it through.

"Since they want to destroy the emperor's trust in the city defense forces, we can use their tricks to lure them out of their holes and catch them in their traps, thus catching them all in one fell swoop."

She looked at the emperor and said, "The city defense army made such a big mistake. Normally, the leader of the city defense army, General Yao, must be to blame."

"The enemy is hiding in the dark, waiting for the Emperor to punish General Yao."

"Ruyi's idea is that the emperor can take this opportunity to remove General Yao from his position and temporarily throw him into prison to vacate the position of leader of the city defense army and see who the Cao family wants to push to the top at the morning court tomorrow."

“…”

When Li Xiangyi heard this, his eyes became strange and he subconsciously glanced at the emperor.

The emperor seemed to be thinking about something, looking at Ruyi with sharp eyes.

If Ruyi was a powerful general in the court, the emperor would not find it surprising to hear such words.

But she is not.

To be precise, she has not yet entered the court.

Moreover, she is a woman.

The means, the strategies, the foresight, the courage... everything was far beyond Shen Cangyun's.

The emperor felt that even if he summoned the court officials tonight, they might not be able to come up with a countermeasure for him in such a short time, and it would take some time.

However, Ruyi almost said, "Whoever they push in the morning court tomorrow will be a traitor."

"We can send this person up first to give the enemy the illusion that they have the overall situation under control. After they believe it, we can release General Yao and seal the city gate."

Li Xiangyi couldn't help but look at her, "You mean, someone wants to start a mutiny?"

The topic became dangerous, heavy and sharp.

Ruyi has come to this point and has no way out. "If it's just to transport arms or something else, they don't need to get rid of General Yao. They just need someone below to help them."

Li Xiangyi nodded and looked at the emperor.

The emperor felt like he had found a treasure. He looked at Ruyi and asked, "How many people do you think will want to come in?"

There was some unusual movement outside, but he was not completely unaware of it.

But unexpectedly, Ruyi revealed it in one sentence.

He had the urge to chat with her casually, and even though he knew Ruyi couldn't guess, he still asked with a smile.

"I don't know what's going on in the army."

Ruyi shook her head honestly, "But it's not impossible to make a guess."

"If there is a mutiny, we will first have to deal with the city defense forces, and then the imperial guards."

"Once Your Majesty punishes General Yao, the city defense forces will no longer be an obstacle to them, and may even become accomplices."

"Assuming that half of the city defense forces are willing to fight for them, the city defense forces will fight among themselves and consume each other."

"In this case, they only need to deal with the 20,000 imperial guards in the city."

Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at the emperor. "Assuming they don't have any insiders in the palace, if they want to take over the palace before everyone reacts, they need to let in at least 50,000 people."
