Lin Yushu didn't look up, but put the book aside and took the handkerchief handed to him by Wang Mingyi to wipe his hands: "Tell me, what did you do outside at this time of night?"
Chen Ze lowered his head, looked at the carpet in front of him, pursed his lips and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Jinyiwei reported that the prince who was supposed to be in the fiefdom had left the fiefdom and arrived in the capital."
Lin Yushu looked up. She knew that Shen Ze going out so late at night must be no small matter, but she didn't expect it to be such a big deal.
The fact that the prince suddenly came to the capital without submitting any memorial was really strange.
Lin Yushu looked at Chen Ze: "Who else knew about the princes' secret entry into the capital? How many people did they bring with them?"
Chen Ze looked up at Lin Yushu, and seeing that her eyes weren't on him, he felt a little disappointed. "Your Majesty, I've learned that the princes who entered the capital brought a total of 30,000 personal soldiers with them. They were divided into smaller groups and scattered throughout the capital."
Lin Yushu frowned. He brought so many people with him into the capital. It was obvious what these people wanted to do.
It's time to rebel!
Lin Yushu raised his eyebrows, holding the teacup and looking at Chen Ze nonchalantly: "Tell me, are they going to rebel or kill me or you?"
Chen Ze glanced at Lin Yushu and said helplessly, "They want to use the excuse that a hen crows at dawn and the country is in trouble, to force Your Majesty to abdicate. They want me to return power and commit suicide."
He lowered his eyes, looking extremely respectful. "But your Majesty, don't worry. I have already mobilized the troops from the capital camp. They have been divided into small groups and quietly entered the palace to guard various places. The imperial guards have also been taken under control."
Lin Yushu looked at Chen Ze carefully and was not very surprised. If Chen Ze really did nothing, that would not be him.
She lowered her eyes to look at him and said leisurely, "Do you want me to say you did a good job? Or do you want to threaten me again?"
He was just a slave, but he could transfer troops from the capital camp whenever he wanted, and control the imperial guards whenever he wanted.
Even though the vassal king is the most important thing now, Lin Yushu still feels that Shen Ze is too dangerous and cannot be trusted.
A trace of pain flashed in Shen Ze's eyes, and the corners of his eyes gradually turned red.
He knelt with his head down, not even knowing what to do for a moment.
If he wanted to do something bad to Her Majesty, why would he kneel so humbly before her and ask for her forgiveness?
But he knew that it was not her fault. It was he who had destroyed all her trust in him.
He was the one who became a traitor. He was the one who betrayed her first and broke his oath.
So now, no matter what His Majesty does to him, he should not say anything.
Shen Ze swallowed, suppressed the astringency in his throat, and spoke with difficulty: "It was my negligence. I will hand the tiger talisman to Your Majesty right away."
He took out the tiger talisman from his body, held it high in both hands and presented it to her.
Lin Yushu glanced at the small tiger talisman in his palm and sneered, "Since the Ninth Prince insists on giving it to me, I will accept it. Now, tell me when they plan to take action."
Chen Ze lowered his eyes, his hands dangling obediently: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence of the Jinyiwei and this servant's analysis, they are most likely to take action at the grand court meeting in three days."
The court meetings of this dynasty were not frequent, nor were they held every day. Generally speaking, there was a small court meeting every three days and a large court meeting every five days.
Three days later is the day of the grand court meeting, and all officials of all ranks in the capital will be present.
Lin Yushu pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let them come. Instruct the Jinyiwei to take good care of the princes and their families. If they did not participate in the rebellion, they can return to the capital to enjoy their retirement. If they did, their families will be implicated."
She played with the tiger talisman she had just obtained in her hand and smiled gently. Didn’t he look down on her, a woman, for sitting on the throne?
Don't you want to rebel?
She wanted them to have their hopes dashed. Just when she wanted to get rid of those disobedient people, these people bumped into her.
Why wouldn't she want the opportunity that was delivered to her door?
Shen Ze looked at Lin Yushu's expression and knew what she was planning.
He remained silent and didn't dare to speak and disturb her thoughts.
Lin Yushu saw that he was so obedient, but he was still worried. Once the princes and the ministers involved were caught, who in the entire court could suppress Chen Ze?
At that time, if the person in front of her had any bad intentions, she would be completely imprisoned by him without knowing anything.
Chen Ze looked at Lin Yushu's increasingly deep eyes and knew what Lin Yushu was thinking.
Once the prince is caught, more people will be implicated. At that time, he will be the only one in power in the court, and Lin Yushu will definitely be worried.
Chen Ze took out the box containing the Gu worm from his sleeve pocket and held it in front of her with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the Gu worm you requested. I have brought it back."
Lin Yushu held her chin with her fingers and looked at Shen Ze carefully. This man was actually handed over to her so easily.
Is there something wrong with this thing?
Lin Yushu's eyes dimmed slightly. Gu Ling had been loved by him so much before, but she had never handed over something that could control him like this.
Lin Yushu lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Ze, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Lin Yushu didn't know much about poisonous insects.
After all, she doesn't like bugs. Could Shen Ze... be fooling her?
What should I do if I eat this poisonous insect and end up being controlled by it?
Thinking of this, Lin Yushu looked at Chen Ze with an increasingly unfriendly look.
The system's helpless voice rang out: "Host, what have you done? Why is the male protagonist almost suicidal from depression?"
Lin Yushu looked at Chen Ze below and said, "I wanted something to control him, so he found me this Gu worm. I don't quite believe this thing can let me control him?"
The system took a careful look at the box, scanned it, and assured Lin Yushu, "Host, Chen Ze didn't lie to you. This is the White Jade Soul-Severing Gu. Once you take the mother Gu and give someone your blood, you can control their life and death. Even if they have any undesirable thoughts about you, the child Gu will kill them without you having to do anything."
Lin Yushu then took the box with confidence. When he opened it, he thought there was a bug inside and wanted to close his eyes before eating it. Unexpectedly, there was a white pill in the box.
Lin Yushu swallowed the pill casually before looking at Shen Ze: "How long will it take before it can be used?"
Shen Ze pursed his lips, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, his prince did not trust him at all.
Seeing that Chen Ze didn't speak, Lin Yushu frowned and looked at Chen Ze, his eyes full of impatience.
Chen Ze was stabbed by her impatient eyes, and his heart ached. He lowered his eyelids, ignoring her indifferent attitude: "Just wait for one day."
Lin Yushu chuckled, a faint smile flashing across his eyes, saying that in this life, he could control him. As long as he controlled him for one life, he could control him for ten lives, and so on for generations to come.
