After the Ghost Festival, it will be the anniversary of the late emperor’s death.
At the morning court session, Su Man and the Minister of Rites finalized the sacrificial procedures.
He would go to Chongsheng Temple to worship in the morning, have a vegetarian meal at Chongsheng Temple at noon, and return to the palace to entertain civil and military officials in the evening.
Although the journey to Chongsheng Temple is not far, for safety reasons, the Imperial Guards accompany us all the way.
The night before, everyone in the palace was preparing for the next day. Sutras were chanted all night in Baohua Hall, and paper money and other items for burning were prepared in advance.
In the morning, when Wu Xia was helping Su Man change her clothes, she worriedly asked, "Your Majesty, there are traitors hiding in the Royal Guards. Is there any danger?"
Wu Xia's guess was not without reason. At present, Su Man not only pacified the former dynasty and the harem, but also caught the secret agent left by that person, and would soon find out about him.
The only way is to strike first. The Royal Guards are the royal guards, and if assassins are placed among them, it will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Wu Xia lowered her voice and said, "Otherwise, let General Hu dispatch a team of guards, just in case."
"No." Su Man refused immediately. "Once we send troops here, they will suspect that our operation has been exposed. If they don't take action, all our efforts will be wasted. Besides, after I get up the mountain, you can notify the nearest military camp and bring reinforcements to rescue us. Nothing will happen."
Wu Xia also understood that Su Man had been planning for so long, and now that the time had come to close the net, she absolutely could not give up. She said worriedly, "Your Majesty, please be careful in everything."
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Let's go."
Su Man straightened her crown and walked out of the palace.
-
When the emperor travels, all the people pay him homage.
Along the way, the crowd shouted "Long live the emperor", which was deafening.
Su Man sat in the car, looking at the subjects along the way, and suddenly found the feeling of being the king of the world.
She stroked her breasts and said, "Look! This is all the kingdom your mother built for you!"
Mimi: Is this why you found me a bunch of stepfathers?
In this way, Su Man came to Chongsheng Temple amid the shouts of "Long live the temple".
The Buddhist temple was a quiet place, not suitable for large crowds. Among the harem, only Feng Jun was qualified to accompany him. Among the ministers, only the female prime minister and General Hu were allowed to accompany him.
Under the escort of the Imperial Guards, they walked up the stone steps to the mountain. The scenery here was beautiful, like a paradise. From time to time, they met monks in the temple and chanted Buddhist mantras to each other.
The host was over seventy years old, with white hair and a kind face. "Amitabha, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Su Man clasped her hands together and said, "Excuse me, host."
The abbot led Suman to the main hall, where an incense table and candles were already prepared, and monks were chanting sutras nearby.
Su Man knelt on the cushion, Feng Jun knelt beside her, and the female prime minister and General Hu knelt two steps behind them.
"when."
The bells rang long and loud, and the sacrifice began.
A stick of incense was brought to Su Man's hand. Su Man took it, knelt straight, and said in a loud voice, "May the late emperor bless us and ensure that our country of Dayong is peaceful and prosperous, and that the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Just as she was about to insert the incense into the incense burner, something unexpected happened in the hall.
The royal guards who were originally guarding outside the palace rushed into the inner hall and surrounded Su Man and the others in the blink of an eye.
Feng Jun subconsciously stood in front of Su Man, "What are you doing!"
With a "bang", the palace door closed.
At the same time, the Royal Guards drew their swords.
The female minister was also shocked, "How dare you! The Queen is here, and you dare to use weapons!"
General Hu drew his sword. She sneered, "They're probably acting this way because the Queen is here!"
Su Man looked around. There were more than twenty Royal Guards in the palace, oh no, assassins should be called now. And they were old, weak, sick and weak, powerless. The difference in strength between the two sides was huge.
She didn't panic, but cleared her throat and said, "The truth will be revealed when the plan is complete. Father-in-law, it has come to this point, why don't you show up?"
The female prime minister and Feng Jun were both stunned. Feng Jun touched Su Man's forehead and asked, "Your Majesty, you don't have a fever, do you?"
However, the next second, the assassins all stepped aside to make room for the man disguised as a Royal Guard to step to the front.
Female Prime Minister: "Baby?"
Feng Jun: "Father?"
The man took off his helmet. He looked to be in his forties, but he was well-maintained and one could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth.
This man is Feng Jun’s father, who wears a beard.
"I'm sorry, Lord Prime Minister, I have to kill someone today."
The female minister was bewildered and said subconsciously, "Baby, we can talk it over. You can kill anyone else, but why do you have to kill His Majesty?"
Suman:???
Is this still the female prime minister who used to fight 1v3 in the court without losing? She is just a little sheep.
Feng Jun was also extremely shocked. "Father, why are you here to kill my Majesty instead of writing the manual at home? I asked you to help me capture her, not to chop her down."
Seeing that they were talking more and more outrageous, Su Man patted Feng Jun and the female minister and said, "Okay, let me talk about something serious first."
She took a step forward and looked at Xu Guan. "Are you Bantu?"
Xu Guan nodded gracefully, "Not bad."
"Let me guess, you are the businessman who brought Ziyi to Dayong."
A look of surprise flashed in Xu Guan's eyes. "You know more than I thought."
...
Yesterday, when Su Man knew that the person was a man, she finally remembered where she had seen the handwriting on the letter.
Feng Jun's Love Guide.
Sure enough, Xu Guan’s next words confirmed Su Man’s guess.
Xuguan is not only a Bantu, he is also the lover of Ziyi's mother Nasha.
But this relationship was a tragedy from the very beginning. Seeing Nasha being toyed with by those men, he tried to take Nasha away many times, but those powerful people would never let a beauty like her go. Even if she was pregnant, she still had to receive those so-called royal family.
