Chapter 769 Need to use a borrowed knife to kill
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "We can tamper with the clothes."
"From what the letter says, they don't know that the imperial guards in the palace are dressed differently."
Mu Fengjiao's eyes were filled with confusion. "The clothes worn by the Imperial Guards are different?"
Su Nuan nodded and explained anxiously, "The inner guards and the court guards are different. The difference lies in their accessories."
"The inner court, middle court, and outer court are all different, with subtle differences."
Mu Fengjiao shook her head and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, I won't understand even if you tell me, so just tell me what to do."
Su Nuan picked up a few pieces of letter paper on the table and placed them side by side. "Look, from this, we can guess that the fifteenth of this month is the day Su Zhen will take action."
"She would have the Mu family members dressed in Imperial Guard uniforms create a riot outside, and then find people to shout that the emperor is unkind and wants to kill all the people to bury him with him."
"At this time, Su Zhen killed the dog emperor and recommended Zhao Jingcheng as the emperor to stabilize the people first."
"Once the people have adapted to the new emperor, she will kill Zhao Jingcheng. Then, she can find a child to be the emperor and become the regent."
"After a while, when everyone gets used to Su Zhen directing the affairs of state, she will have a reason to take the throne directly."
Mu Fengjiao sat at the table, her hands on her cheeks, her brows furrowed.
Seeing that she was silent, Su Nuan asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Fengjiao looked up at Su Nuan and asked, "These are all planned by them. Can we change them?"
Su Nuan sat down slowly and asked in confusion, "What to change?"
"I mean to have the Mu family wear the clothes of the Outer Court Imperial Guards, and then find someone to expose their identities and say that they are not acting on the emperor's orders."
"This way, the people won't hate the emperor, and Su Zhen won't have any reason to rebel."
Mu Fengjiao grinned, and her smile looked eerie and terrifying in the dim candlelight.
"We're doing the opposite. Listen to me..."
Su Nuan waited until Mu Fengjiao had figured out her plan, her eyes widening as she shook her head. "No, no, you'll be putting yourself in danger. If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain this to Ling Cang?"
Mu Fengjiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I still have ways to protect myself. I won't leave you without an explanation to Ling Cang."
"I won't let my affairs affect your relationship with Ling Yun. If you don't listen to me, you'll have to tie me up and lock me up."
Su Nuan pursed her lips. Although Mu Fengjiao's plan was feasible, it was too risky.
But it was impossible for him to tie up Mu Fengjiao and lock her up.
Finally she nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say."
Mu Fengjiao's eyes flashed with excitement as she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm really not afraid, and I have ways to protect myself."
Su Nuan glanced at Mu Fengjiao and began to take things out helplessly.
"Here, soft armor that is impervious to swords and guns."
"Here, a pill that will keep you immune to all poisons for three months."
"Here, the Great Rejuvenating Pill that can prolong life as long as you breathe."
"Here... this one won't do. It's too big. I'll give you a hidden arrow."
Mu Fengjiao held Su Nuan's hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Don't take it, these are enough."
Su Nuan sighed, "Not many, they are all little things, I'm just afraid of them."
Mu Fengjiao grabbed Su Nuan's hand and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'm actually more worried about you. You're going to the palace to investigate the enemy situation."
Su Nuan shook her head. "No need to go to the palace. Su Liren lives in a house closer to the palace."
Mu Fengjiao sighed, "Forget it, let's not worry about each other anymore. What's important is to do what you want to do seriously."
Su Nuan felt that what she said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
The two discussed it again and finally rested on the small bed in the house until dawn.
The two of them had a simple meal in the morning.
Mu Fengjiao asked, "Are you going to find Su Liren?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, I can't kill him myself, I have to find a way to kill him."
Mu Fengjiao touched her chin and said, "I'm similar to you. I can't kill the Mu family members openly, so I can only find a way to kill them with someone else's knife."
The two looked at each other and smiled, with deep helplessness in their smiles.
Suddenly, Mu Fengjiao seemed to remember something and she stared at Su Nuan intently.
Su Nuan was startled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm a little scared."
Mu Fengjiao chuckled, and her smile was a little weird.
"I remember now, your grandmother was once a princess!"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Mu Fengjiao's eyes sparkled as she grabbed Su Nuan's shoulders and shook her. "You have royal blood. If your grandmother had been the emperor, you might have been a princess now!"
Su Nuan felt dizzy from the shaking, but her mind was clear. She shook her head and said, "Impossible. Even after my grandmother ascends the throne, it won't be my turn to be emperor."
"And what about my mother? Or maybe my grandmother lives longer and has a few more sons? It's hard to say."
Mu Fengjiao let go of Su Nuan and said with disappointment in her eyes: "Forget it, don't think too much, let's deal with the present matter first."
After a pause, she asked again, "What if someone found out that you were the Crown Princess's granddaughter, and they supported you as the new emperor?"
Su Nuan touched her nose and said awkwardly, "Do you think this kind of thing will happen? Do they know who I am, Su Nuan? Do they know what I am capable of?"
"Unless those ministers think I'm a good puppet, and they can call the shots in the country after I take over."
Mu Fengjiao smiled and said, "Maybe that's what they think."
Su Nuan was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, this seemed possible.
But she would never be a puppet, and she didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.
Being an emperor is not something a lazy person can do.
She waved her hand and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Go do what you need to do. I'll go to the city gate to see if it's open."
Normally the city gates would open at dawn, but the current situation is unstable and there are many disaster victims outside, so it is not certain when the city gates will open.
The two said goodbye and went their separate ways.
Su Nuan took Sun Sanhei to the city gate to take a look. The gate was open, but the inspection was very strict. Anyone entering had to pay an entrance fee of ten taels of silver per person.
Logically speaking, the wealthy families outside can afford ten taels of silver, so why are there still so many people camping outside?
She looked at it for a while and finally found the key. Only people with Beijing household registration had to pay money to enter and leave the city. People with non-Beijing household registration had to pay one hundred taels each. If there were less than ten people, they had to pay one thousand taels, and if there were less than one hundred people, they had to pay ten thousand taels.
No wonder people outside don’t come in. They don’t want to pay so much money.
Su Nuan took Sun Sanhei out of the city gate and walked along the street towards the residential area closest to the palace.
The pedestrians on the street were like thieves, coming and going in a hurry and keeping their heads down.
A gorgeous carriage slowly passed by Su Nuan, but it stopped not long after it went.
Someone stuck her head out of the car window. She looked at Su Nuan and asked, "Is that Su Nuan?"
Su Nuan looked over blankly, and after seeing the man's face clearly, she was shocked and stunned!
