Inside the mansion.
Butler Li came to report: "Madam, you guessed correctly. After the maid was driven out, she really met Princess Minghua!"
Chu Li held the bowl and calmly drank the nourishing crucian carp and tofu soup.
"knew."
This Chu Minghua is like a bee. Although it doesn't hurt when it stings people, it keeps buzzing around your ears, which is really noisy.
She finished her soup with a calm expression and put down the bowl:
"Almost."
Butler Li stepped forward and said, "I'll serve you another bowl."
“I didn’t mean soup.”
-
In the morning, Chuyi packed his things and reported to the Regent's Palace.
As for why she is so slow?
Because she brought the parrot, Master Turtle, and the clothes and jewelry that the Regent had bought for the young lady and that the young lady liked. She sorted them all out and took them to the Regent's Palace.
She has always been careful.
Near noon, Chu Li took Chu Yi out together.
"Chuyi, you quickly tell General Qin that the regent is going to purge the court. Only officials who have received the secret message will not be purged. All others will be killed."
Chuyi said loudly: "Hey, I'll go right away."
"Let's go to the Wen family again."
"I know."
Chu Li looked at the long street in the distance and said to himself, "After the court is cleaned up and all the treacherous officials are eliminated, King Xiaoyao? Princess Minghua? Oh, what qualifications do you have to fight me?"
Get on the carriage.
"Enter the palace."
Not far away, Chu Minghua came out, his expression slightly serious:
"The Regent wants to purge the court, why haven't I heard my father mention it?"
At the side, the trusted maid Chun Xiao said: "Princess, such an important matter must be carried out in secret. If everyone knew about it, wouldn't we have taken precautions in advance?"
Chu Minghua's face darkened.
The Regent wants to secretly purge officials and eliminate dissidents?
Isn't this clipping my father's wings?
Damn it!
She was also planning to plot against Xie Wanyue, but she didn't expect that the Regent would actually take action against her father.
"no,"
She said in a deep voice, "My father and I share the same fate. I cannot watch him being kept in the dark."
"Chunxiao, you must immediately send someone to secretly alert Lord Zhang of the Ministry of War, Lord Wang of the Ministry of Revenue, and Lord Li of the Ministry of Justice... Tell them to be careful and beware of the Regent's attempt to purge the emperor."
Chunxiao ran away.
When several ministers received this news, they all felt depressed:
"The Regent wants to purge the court?"
"Only officials who received the secret message will not be purged? But we don't know anything about this..."
"Could it be that the Regent King has learned that we are King Xiaoyao's men and wants to get rid of us secretly?"
What should I do!
Now, how can they sit still?
In a hurry, they invited everyone together one by one and hurriedly went to King Xiaoyao's residence.
When I went there, King Xiaoyao was playing with birds.
Hearing the servant's announcement, four officials came at once, their faces were startled: "What are you doing here!"
"This is a sensitive period right now. The palace coup has just ended and the court is in a tense situation. You come to look for me, aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"
Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of War said hurriedly:
"Your Highness, please calm down. If it weren't for something important, we wouldn't have dared to come here rashly. It's really an emergency, so we had no choice but to do this."
King Xiaoyao put down the bird cage and told his servants to go out and guard it.
Close the door.
In a safe environment, we can:
"What's the emergency?"
Lord Li from the Ministry of Justice stepped forward in a hurry and said, "The Regent wants to purge the emperor's entourage. Officials who have received the news are safe, and officials who have not received the news will be purged!"
Lord Wang of the Ministry of Revenue said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we haven't received any news. The Regent wants to eliminate us!"
King Xiaoyao slammed the table:
"What nonsense!"
He also has spies in the palace, so how come he didn't receive this news?
"Your identities are hidden. Even if the regent wants to purge the emperor's court, how can he know whether you are his people or the emperor's people?"
After hearing this, everyone calmed down instantly.
yes!
They did not reveal their identities, and the Regent did not know that they were loyal to King Xiaoyao.
If that's the case, then why are they in such a hurry?
"But you guys are so bold as to come to my residence!"
Lord Li from the Ministry of War bowed and said:
"Please calm down, Your Majesty. This is because Princess Minghua told us this news herself, and we dare not disbelieve it."
"What?!"
Did Minghua say that?
When did Minghua become so knowledgeable about state affairs?
“Even I haven’t received the news about purging the court, how could Minghua know…” King Xiaoyao’s expression changed in shock as he thought of something.
Oh no!
He stood up suddenly: "Where's Chu Minghua?"
"Father, I'm back!"
Outside the door, a woman's joyful laughter was heard.
Chu Minghua walked into the room in a very good mood, carrying a newly bought set of headgear, but found the atmosphere in the room to be a bit solemn.
King Xiaoyao looked over with deep eyes:
"Minghua, where did you hear the news that the Regent wants to purge the court?"
Chu Minghua smiled:
"At noon today, Xie Wanyue went out, and I heard what she said with my own ears. She is the regent's bedmate, so her words are naturally credible."
"you!"
"Father, are you trying to praise me? Actually, this is what Minghua should do."
"you!"
"Minghua is willing to share father's worries...ah!"
"You idiot!"
A hard slap landed on Chu Minghua's face, causing her to fall to the ground, with her hairpin falling off.
The most untrustworthy person in the world is the Regent!
Xie Wanyue and the Regent are so close that they are bound to learn his methods and depth. You can't believe a single word he says!
“Father, Father…”
"I've been fooled, I've been fooled! Chu Minghua, you want to destroy me, you evil creature!"
-
At the same time, multiple messages were reported to Chu Li in the first place.
Inside the Linhua Palace.
Chu Li picked up a pen and wrote down the names one by one: "Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of War, Mr. Li from the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Li from the Ministry of Revenue..."
It turns out that these people are King Xiaoyao's followers.
It’s hidden very well.
Unfortunately, Chu Minghua lost his patience and was tricked by her.
Chu Dichi finished his work at court and rushed over immediately: "Xiao Jiu, you sent someone to look for me?"
"Uncle, please take a look at this list."
Chu Li put down the pen and handed it to him.
Chu Dichi took a quick look and saw nine names. He picked one of them and said, "Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of War has made great contributions. I have a deep impression of him. He is a loyal and righteous man."
Chu Li curled his lips and shook his head slowly:
"He is Xiaoyao Wang's man."
"you mean……"
"Today, I deliberately deceived Chu Minghua, saying that you wanted to clear out the emperor's entourage. She was worried that King Xiaoyao's forces would be surrounded and eliminated, so she sent people to notify the important followers in advance. These nine people were all notified by her."
Chu Di Chi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and threw the list with a fingertip, "Very smart, reward."
