Chapter 2143 Conspiracy
Wu Yingqiu also laughed and said, "Well said, a gathering of heroes!"
“…”
"Let's use Liu Yueze, this fool who pretended to surrender, to play a trick on the master behind him."
Everyone laughed.
At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "Master Wan is back."
Today, Wu Yingqiu had also been waiting for news from him. When he heard that he had returned, he immediately looked up and saw Wan Pengkun hurriedly walking in from outside under the night sky.
Wan Liangchou immediately stepped forward: "You're back."
"Father."
"How's it going?"
"It went very smoothly."
Wu Yingqiu had been waiting for his news and immediately asked, "How is it?"
Wan Pengkun's face flushed with excitement as he said, "Don't worry, uncle. Everything in the palace has been explained clearly. We are just waiting for our order that day."
"good!"
Wu Yingqiu nodded and asked, "Where is Concubine Hui?"
Wan Pengkun said, "I have also informed Concubine Hui of our plan."
"What did she say?"
Speaking of this, Wan Pengkun hesitated a little.
Recalling the time when she talked about this plan, Concubine Hui's face suddenly turned pale. Even in the dusk, one could clearly see the panic and fear in her eyes.
After all, this involves losing one's head and killing nine generations of one's clan.
She was in the harem and didn't know anything else, but she was very taboo about such things.
So, she kept asking Wan Pengkun for confirmation: "Are you serious? Has father really decided to do this?"
Wan Pengkun was afraid that she might have any doubts. Concubine Hui had never been a scheming or resourceful person, especially now that Gao was arrested, her situation was different from before. If she revealed any flaws in the palace, everything would be over for them.
So he said decisively: "Of course!"
“…”
"Empress Hui, don't forget that your brother is still lying in bed, like a living dead!"
“…”
"Besides, the emperor has already taken action against us."
“…”
"If we don't react at this moment, if we don't resist, then we'll truly be doomed. Do you think you'll still be able to stay in the palace and peacefully serve as your Concubine Hui?"
“…”
"Think about it, has the emperor ever favored you over the years? By that time, is it possible that he would show mercy to you?"
After hearing his relentless questioning, Concubine Hui was speechless.
They stood behind the rockery, not daring to light a lamp to attract other people. They could only see in the last twilight that her forehead was covered with cold sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped from her chin to the ground.
Finally, Concubine Hui said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I understand."
“…”
"Go tell your father to do it."
Wan Pengkun stared at her and said, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be accomplished by the Duke and us alone. Your Majesty, you are the key to victory."
"I?"
Concubine Hui looked at them in some surprise.
Throughout the dynasties, men had fought to seize power and usurp the throne, so what did it have to do with a little girl like her in the harem?
She said, "What can I do?"
Seeing her still bewildered, Wan Pengkun said anxiously, "Your Majesty, how could you be so confused? Don't you think that if the Emperor takes the Empress and Consort Shun away from the palace, then in this harem, besides the Imperial Concubine, you will be the most senior one."
“……!”
Hearing this, Wu Wan's eyes lit up.
Wan Pengkun said, "The Duke has secretly arranged that when the Emperor goes to the Grand Altar this time, his personal guards will naturally follow him, and the Duke has already placed guards in the palace."
"oh?"
"When that time comes, we will start a rebellion outside the palace, Your Majesty, you——"
Having said that, he leaned close to Wu Wan's ear and told her the plan in detail.
Wu Wan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
It turns out that this is how my father arranged it.
He had already placed his own people among the palace guards. When that day came, he would dispatch all these people and control the entire harem. Then he would enter through the back door and control the front of the palace.
By that time, the emperor would have no choice but to admit defeat.
But when she thought about being able to control the harem, Wu Wan's original panic disappeared in an instant, and a surge of excitement and malice surged in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and said, "On that day, I will tear that bitch Si Nanyan into pieces!"
Wan Pengkun also said: "Exactly, the Duke thinks so too!"
"oh?"
"This imperial concubine has committed countless evil deeds. She, her family, and her uncle's family are all the murderers who harmed my brother. We must not let them off so easily. When the day comes, tie her to the top of the city wall and kill her as a sacrifice!"
"good!"
Speaking of this, Wu Wan was no longer afraid.
For a woman like her, changes of dynasties, family, country and the world are not as important as her own grudges. As long as she can vent her anger, she will not care how many people die or what the world will become.
So he said, "Okay, it's settled!"
“…”
"When the time comes, I will have the people from Chonghua Palace prepare inside the palace. The people you arrange just need to give us the secret signal according to the plan, and then we will act together!"
Thinking of this, Wan Pengkun said to Wu Yingqiu: "Empress Hui has agreed to everything and will act according to the plan. However -"
Wu Yingqiu looked at him: "Just what?"
Wan Pengkun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm just worried about whether a woman like her can control the entire harem. After all, even if the Empress and Consort Shun are gone, there's still a Noble Consort in the palace. This woman has been with the Emperor for so long, she's seen a lot of the world."
Wu Yingqiu said coldly: "This Si Nanyan is indeed difficult to deal with."
“…”
"However, no matter how difficult she is to deal with, she is just a woman. If no one treats her as a concubine, does she think she can still act so domineeringly?"
“…”
"Besides, don't forget, she is still pregnant."
“…”
"Kick her in the stomach, and even if she has three heads and six arms, she won't be able to fly."
Speaking of this, he didn't feel cruel at all.
Wan Pengkun also nodded and said, "That's right, a pregnant woman can't cause any trouble."
Wu Yingqiu added, "The harem is just a bunch of women. The troops I have placed there are enough to control them."
“…”
"Even if we can't control them and let them run away, what can a bunch of useless people do?"
Having said that, everyone felt relieved.
At this time, Wu Yingqiu raised his head again and said to Wan Liangchou, "You go and arrange for someone to inform Liu Yueze and tell him to come to my house at midnight tonight. I have something important to discuss with him."
A sneer appeared on Wan Liangchou's lips.
"yes."
