The new host of Tiance Mansion
Yue Lingxi was shocked, firstly because the Crown Prince was already unconscious! Second, because he had been ordered to do this in such a critical moment!
This is really unreasonable! Tian Ce Mansion is full of talented people, and Zhang Sun Wuwo is a master of strategy who is feared by the government and the people. How can it be the turn of an outsider like me to take charge of the overall situation?
Just as he was about to refuse, Changsun Wuyi had already taken the lead in bowing, "Greetings to Marquis Anguo!" At that moment, no one in Tiance objected, and they all bowed down. The matter was done!
Liu Buqi said from the side: "Lingxi, let Jin Jing take a look at the prince's condition first!"
So, the three of them, accompanied by Han Qinzi and Changsun Wuwo, entered the heavily guarded bedroom!
But as soon as he entered the inner room of the bedroom, he saw Yue Chengqiu, who should have been unconscious, sitting on the bed with a pale face. He didn't look like he was seriously injured or unconscious at all!
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Facing Yue Lingxi's doubts, Yue Chengqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, this is the last resort!"
It turned out that the prince was indeed injured by an assassin today, but because he was wearing soft armor to protect his body, the injury was not fatal. After being taken back to Tiance Mansion by the guards, he discussed with Changsun Wuwo and Han Qinzi and decided to take this opportunity to retreat behind the scenes!
On the one hand, he wanted to dispel the possibility of the assassin attacking again, and on the other hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to set up a game, betting that Prince Ning and the emperor would take advantage of his serious injury, reveal all their cards, and take control of the situation in the shortest time possible!
But he was seriously injured and had to retire, so he needed someone with enough weight to come forward to hold up the situation and avoid losing more than he gained.
Changsun Wuwo was naturally qualified to command the generals in the Tiance Palace, but given his status and position, he was not worthy of being in front of the emperor and Prince Ning.
Therefore, Yue Lingxi was brought in to take charge of the overall situation of Tiance. With his current reputation in the capital and the Youzhou forces behind him, he was enough to withstand the situation.
Yue Lingxi smiled bitterly, thinking that this was putting him on the fire! But at this moment, he was afraid that he could only take on this inexplicable responsibility, otherwise he and Liu Buqi might not be able to leave Tiance Mansion!
Everyone discussed the general direction for the future, and Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi left Tiance Mansion. Starting tomorrow, Changsun Wuwo will enter the Anguo Marquis Mansion and actually take control of the situation in the capital!
The reason why Yue Lingxi was not allowed to stay in Tiance Mansion was that, on the one hand, he needed to contact various forces, and it was much more convenient to stay in Anguo Marquis Mansion than in the palace!
On the other hand, it was to reduce the number of officials who came in and out of Tian Ce Mansion every day, so as to expose Yue Chengqiu's flaws!
On the carriage back home, Yue Lingxi's face turned ashen, and Liu Buqi held his hand tightly.
By doing this, the prince was actually pushing all the risks onto himself. His success was due to his behind-the-scenes efforts, and when he did something bad, he could jump out and take charge of the situation.
If I do nothing, I will suffer heavy losses, and this trip to the capital will be meaningless. If I do something, I will be hindered by the people in Tiance Mansion everywhere!
Youzhou has little power in the capital. Originally, it wanted to fish in troubled waters, but now it can only act under the nose of Tiance Mansion. Any plan or layout will probably not escape the attention of those with ulterior motives!
It's really disgusting, infuriating and hateful!
Liu Buqi naturally understood the depression in Yue Lingxi's heart. He was also caught off guard by the prince's actions, but at this time he still had to stabilize his own position first.
First of all, after returning home, all ties with Desheng Tower must be cut off. This trump card must always be hidden!
Secondly, there is gain in loss. Although Yue Lingxi was firmly tied to the prince, he also had the opportunity to make friends with the royal family and the powerful in the capital under the name of Tiance Mansion!
Finally, there is no need to restrict Gongsun Wuwo's actions at all. Just follow his arrangements. Anyway, no one in Tiance will really listen to Yue Lingxi's orders!
After a detailed discussion with the calmed Yue Lingxi, the two of them drove through the dark Taiyue North City. The darkness before them was full of unknowns!
Fortunately, their home in Beijing is just around the corner!
…
Early the next morning, Gongsun Wuwo came to the guest study behind the lobby of the mansion. For the next period of time, he would be in charge of the overall affairs of the Tiance Mansion from here.
Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi, who discussed countermeasures with Lu Ren all night yesterday, did not get out of bed until noon.
Although he had already known that Gongsun was coming, he still took his time to get himself ready before going to the study.
After the greetings were exchanged, Gongsun Wuwo took out a memorial from King Ning requesting troops to enter the capital.
"This was delivered this morning. Prince Ning was very quick. This matter must be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, when His Majesty asks about it, we will be in a more passive position!"
Yue Lingxi took the letter, without even looking at it, and took it directly to the candle that was still burning, and burned it!
"Envoy Gongsun, I had no idea about this. Prince Ning's memorial never reached me!"
Gongsun Wuwo was stunned at first, but then he understood, "Yes, yes, it must be an oversight from below. How could they forget such an important thing!"
If they did anything to hinder it at this time, it would probably directly trigger the emperor to personally come out and complete the handover of the two gates. In the absence of the regent prince to come forward, it would be a pipe dream for this group of people to stop the emperor!
A simple "I didn't see it" can delay the process for at least two days. Now time is the most precious thing for any party!
After dealing with some other trivial matters, Liu Buqi took the initiative to ask about Changsun Wuwo.
"Mr. Changsun, what do you think about the attack on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" She has always been curious about the Crown Prince's views on the assassination, and this is a good opportunity to test his opinion.
After all, the officials of Tian Ce were eyewitnesses, and many of them experienced it twice. Changsun Wuwo was one of them!
This question brought back painful memories for the Chief Envoy of the Tiance Palace. If someone else asked, he might not be able to elaborate.
But Youzhou Spirit Fox has become famous these days. As the saying goes, there is no false reputation. Moreover, he is at a loss as to how to deal with the assassin who appeared strangely. It is better to listen to her advice!
"Madam Liu, do you know why the Crown Prince and I have never suspected that the Marquis is the mastermind behind this?" Yue Lingxi responded to him with a curious look.
"Because the assassin this time is the same one who assassinated the late crown prince before!" Gongsun Wuwo has assisted Yue Beiqiu for nearly twenty years, and they have a deep friendship and loyalty to each other. At this moment, his eyes were red when he spoke about it!
Liu Buqi suddenly realized, that's it!
When Yue Beiqiu died, Yue Lingxi was still a nobody. He didn't have the ability to organize such an assassination against the world's overlord! He also didn't have any reason or necessity to carry out the assassination!
So no matter what others think or say in the whole world, the prince still completely believes that Yue Lingxi cannot be the mastermind behind his assassination!
Therefore, I dare to push the responsibility of presiding over the Tiance Mansion to him. Although it is only nominal, the reputation generated by it is extraordinary!
"Moreover, I can basically rule out the possibility that Prince Ning is the mastermind behind the assassination!"
This sentence made Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi feel even more doubtful!
What is the reason that makes Gongsun Wuwo so sure that Prince Ning, who benefits the most, is not the mastermind behind this?
