"I have always underestimated you, cousin."
He almost clenched his teeth when he pronounced the last word "cousin".
Li Mao was speechless. He just stared at Zhu Lan blankly, with fear emerging in the depths of his eyes.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
He thought he was the yellow bird, but it turned out that...
Zhu Lan walked slowly, with one hand behind his back, and continued to speak:
"Since it is confirmed that the two of you are not of the same mind, if we follow this line of thought, many of the previous things will make sense."
She paused slightly and glanced at Li Zhengqing.
"Your original plan was to take advantage of the Qiushan tour, use the emperor's hand to get rid of the queen mother, and induce the emperor to commit the crime of murdering his mother. Then you would stir up public opinion and support the little prince to succeed to the throne.
If your plan succeeds, not only will your prestige in the Li family far exceed that of Wei Guoyi, you may even monopolize power.
The father and son of Wei Guozhi naturally cannot sit idly by and watch such a thing happen, so they must not let the little prince fall into your hands.
Later, Li Mao used me to make you believe that the little prince was dead and stopped looking for him.
But no matter whether the little prince is alive or dead, one thing remains unchanged, that is, you must get rid of the obstacle of the queen mother in order to completely control the emperor. "
Zhu Lan's gaze fell on Chen Laojiang, who was looking somewhat idiotically nearby.
"Li Mao sent Master Chen to me, and he was also trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He wanted me to use Master Chen's Dongzhu bracelet to expose your relationship with Ma Yan.
Let everyone think that Ma Yan is under your command in all his actions."
Li Zhengqing looked at Li Mao in disbelief.
No wonder Master Chen, who had gone insane and been sent out of the capital, would come back.
It turns out...it was all his doing!
Zhu Lan looked at Li Zhengqing with a hint of pity in the depths of his eyes.
"Li Mao wants to pin the crime of regicide on you, and then he will come out to rid the country of the evil and help the young prince ascend to the throne.
Everything is still going according to your plan, but he has become the protagonist. "
Li Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, and finally realized how ridiculous everything he had done before was.
Li Mao's plan was so well-connected that it could almost be said to be flawless.
And I have been a conceited chess piece on the opponent's chessboard since the very beginning.
Of course, it's not just him, Zhu Lan is the same.
Zhu Lan came alone, without any soldiers, and he could not think of any possibility of turning the situation around.
Li Zhengqing felt relieved as he thought about this.
When he looked at Zhu Lan again, there was already a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Li Mao had his head lowered, his face hidden in the shadows.
Suddenly, a low laugh came from him, gradually turning into an unbridled laugh.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha…!
Mr. Zhu, what can you do now that you have guessed all this?
Can you still stop my plan now?"
After Li Mao finished speaking, his expression instantly turned grim.
He waved his hand, "Come here, take her down for me too!"
However, none of the people behind him moved.
Li Mao raised his head and said angrily: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?"
Zhu Lan's voice came with a hint of sarcasm:
"Li Mao, I advise you to take a closer look at who you brought with you."
Li Mao was half-believing and half-doubting. He quickly walked up to an old soldier and raised the torch to shine on his face.
It was the face of a young man of about 30 years old. There was no way he could be an old subordinate of my father!
Li Mao was horrified and held the torch to shine at everyone one by one. The fear on his face rapidly magnified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Mao's face turned pale, and he finally screamed and dropped the torch!
He had followed the signs to the cave where the men and horses were hiding and saw that everyone was there.
It was too dark at night and the cave was so remote that he never thought of taking a closer look at these people.
They were not the original team at all!
These people followed me all the way, who are they? ? ?
(P.S. Parents and children who read this book have an important announcement to make!
1. This book is expected to be officially finished at Chapter 620. Previously, Dabaozi said that he wanted a sequel, which will be arranged after the conclusion speech√
2. I originally planned to finish writing the finale, post the main story in one go so that everyone can enjoy it, and then take a few days to slowly think about the extra chapters. After communicating with the editor, considering that stopping the update before the whole book is completed will have a bad impact on the book, each platform has a penalty mechanism for stopping the update.
Finally, I decided to release one chapter every day before the end [highlighting the key points], and use the remaining few days to design the extra chapters to ensure that they are updated continuously until the end.
3. I haven't started thinking about the extra chapters yet, but I plan to write about 20,000 to 30,000 words a day, mainly short stories. Starting today, you can leave comments on the extra chapters you want to read in the book circle/comment area.
A-Mei has registered accounts on several major platforms, so I can see everyone’s comments and will try my best to write about the content that everyone is most interested in!
4. Someone will definitely choose the little princess for the extra chapter, yes yes yes... After all, ahem, it's been edited, and I'm afraid I'll cry if I write about the memories again orz I still want to write a more complete story, so don't edit it if it's too big...
When I said this, an idea popped into my mind. The young princess and the young master met in another time and space. I wonder if you would like to see this kind of thing. You can leave a comment or give any other ideas.
In short, please feel free to speak your mind, and let's accompany this book on its final journey together~! )
