Rebirth of the Phoenix

Instead of seeking perfection, it is better to go to war

"The emperor is a man from my Ye family. Of course we are worried about the safety of the emperor." Wei Guo said, "That's why we came to visit the emperor late at night. Since the Queen Mother said that the Emperor is fine, we will believe what the Queen Mother said and come back another day.

I hope the Emperor will be well when we come next time."

He was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Ye Qingge. The dignified son of the Ye family, the monarch of Dashun, actually relinquished his power and was regent by the Queen Mother. It really brought shame to the Ye family.

He and several clan members also sent people to secretly search for the whereabouts of the emperor's "twin brother". If that person was indeed the son of Emperor Yebei and had great talents, they would definitely support him in ascending the throne and would never allow the imperial power to continue to be undermined.

Shadows are like frost and control.

Ying Rushuang said politely: "Come, see Duke Wei and all of you away."

Duke Wei Guo led a group of people and left with a cold face.

The frost on Ying Rushuang's face is even heavier: If Qingge doesn't come back safely in a few days, then the rumors may really be uncontrollable.

When Duke Wei went out again, the eunuch came again and reported: "Prime Minister Ying and Mrs. Ying want to see you."

The Prime Minister and his wife had been here for a while, but Duke Wei had met the Queen Mother first, so they did not dare to show up and had to wait.

Here it comes again! Ying Rushuang felt her head hurt even more: "Let them come in."

As soon as Yingsong and his wife came in and bowed, Mrs. Ying immediately said: "The Queen Mother, I just went to the Zichen Palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother, but failed to do so. The palace people also refused to say anything, so I came here to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother.

, I want to know what happened to the Queen."

They also heard the rumors that their daughter had eloped after assassinating the emperor. They were so shocked that they immediately disguised themselves and hurried into the palace.

Along the way, they were praying that these rumors were really just rumors and that they were a false alarm. However, when they arrived at Zichen Palace, no matter how they asked to see them, the palace officials would not let them in. They only said that the emperor and the empress had slept together.

, saw no one.

When they saw the palace people's attitude, they knew something was wrong. As for what happened, they didn't dare to guess, so they hurriedly came to see the Queen Mother again.

Ying Rushuang drank tea and said nothing.

No one knows where she is, what can she say now?

The more restless you are, the more you need to be quiet. What's the use of being anxious?

When Yingsong saw that she was silent, he quickly gave his wife a look to signal her to calm down. Then, he said in a steady voice: "I want to relieve the Queen Mother's worries, but I don't know what I can do."

Ying Rushuang then said: "The queen is seriously ill and is recuperating in the Ying Mansion. It is inconvenient to see outsiders. Please go and make arrangements."

Ying Ruyu dresses up as Ying Rumeng, doesn't it look similar?

Yingsong is not a fool and should be able to understand what she means.

After Yingsong was stunned for a moment, he really understood it and immediately said: "I accept the decree."

Then, he paused and said boldly: "Is the Emperor's dragon body still in good condition?"

There were rumors outside that the queen had an affair with the emperor's twin brother and killed the emperor. He was frightened when he heard this. If this was true, the Ying family would be able to destroy the nine clans. Well, it was impossible to destroy the nine clans, but it would also be enough to make the Ye family hate them.

The Touying family is here, and the two families might start fighting.

Once the Ying family and Ye family fight, it will definitely be a civil war and the country will be unstable!

Although there is no evidence to prove that this crazy rumor is even remotely true, the fact that the Emperor and Queen were nowhere to be seen, and the Queen Mother gave him such a hint, shows that the rumor is by no means groundless.

How could he not be in a hurry?

Ying Rushuang said calmly: "Okay, I just went out to catch spies from Xiliang Kingdom. Do you have anything else to ask?"

Yingsong smiled bitterly and didn't dare to ask anymore: "Then I'll be relieved, I have nothing to ask."

Xiliang's spies are cunning, and the emperor is not the type to do such things. As expected, the Queen Mother has something she cannot tell him.

He then said goodbye and went back with his wife who looked sad.

After Ying Rushuang sat in the study for a while, she got up and left, going to sleep.

Instead of just sitting and waiting, it's better to eat, sleep, and have enough energy to have a good time with Ye Jiu.

She actually slept peacefully that night. When she got up the next day, she felt refreshed and went to court in high spirits. She didn't look like something had happened to her son or daughter-in-law at all. All the ministers were tortured by rumors last night and had a bad night.

Now that I saw that the Queen Mother was so energetic, I felt a little relieved and comforted myself: The Emperor and the Queen were known to be a loving couple, how could they kill each other? If such a thing happened, the Queen Mother could still look so good.

?

Ying Rushuang was actually anxious, but she was able to keep her composure.

She has never experienced any ups and downs in her life, and the emperor's body has not been delivered to her, so why should she panic?

However, after the last court ended, she really couldn't sit still.

Because, the guards guarding the palace gate received a letter telling them about the whereabouts of the emperor, and asked them to deliver it to the Queen Mother. They would not believe it at first, but there was a ring attached to the letter, a purple jade ring carved with a dragon.

, seeing that it was a royal item, they did not dare to neglect it, so they quickly collected the letter and sent it to Langhuan Palace.

After Ying Rushuang got the letter, she did not open it immediately, but asked: "Where is the person who sent the letter?"

The eunuch said: "He committed suicide on the spot."

Ying Rushuang narrowed her eyes slightly: "Have you checked your identity?"

The eunuch said: "My servant sent the corpse to the Criminal Punishment Department and asked people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take a look. It is not from the palace, and there are no clues on the body. The history cannot be found."

Ying Rushuang stopped asking and opened the envelope.

The other party did this, and it seems that this letter is really extraordinary.

After she read the letter, there was no expression on her face. She just said calmly: "Everyone, please exit. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

She was very calm, but the palace guests present felt the soles of their feet were cold, so they carefully exited and closed the door.

When only one person was left, Ying Rushuang was so angry that she broke the brush in her hand.

There was only one line written in the letter: If Ye Qingge returns to the palace safely, let King Jingrong ascend the throne. When King Jingrong ascends the throne, Ye Qingge will return to the palace.

The envelope, letter paper and ink were all ordinary and could be bought anywhere, and the handwriting was also unfamiliar. She could not tell who the opponent was from this letter.

But she was certain that it was definitely not Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu had the opportunity and ability to kidnap Ye Qingge, but what he wanted was to destroy himself, not to have King Jingrong ascend the throne.

King Jingrong is the fourth child of Emperor Ye Bei and the second prince. Although his ability is inferior to that of King Xiaoyao and Ye Jiu, he is still a rare talent. He is quite ambitious and can lead troops. He has a certain role in the army.

of influence.

King Jingrong was not convinced by her. If he became the emperor, he would never let his power fall by the wayside. Therefore, she was sure that the person who wrote this letter was definitely from the Ye family. This person wanted to keep the power and status of the Ye family.

So I exchanged Ye Qingge for power.

However, these analyzes are only the superficial information this letter gave her. The deeper information is that the person who wrote this letter probably knows that Ye Qingge is not the son of Emperor Ye Bei and is not qualified to inherit the throne!

That's why this man wanted to oust Ye Qingge from the throne and return the imperial power to the real prince!

So - she slapped the table hard, her arm hurt without realizing it. The person who wrote this letter was at least loyal to Ye Beihuang!

If the writer is only loyal to the Ye family, then Ye Qingge is undoubtedly the heir of the Ye family, and there is no need for the writer to kidnap the emperor to force her to establish a new emperor.

What surprised and angered her the most was how many people knew the mystery of Ye Qingge's life experience?

Could Ye Beihuang already know about it? His actions before his disappearance were quite strange now that he thought about it.

Even Yejiu knows this huge secret, why can't others know it?

Maybe it was Ye Jiu who revealed it to others?

…

She closed her eyes and kept thinking.

After thinking about it until it got dark, she finally sat down and opened her eyes. Her eyes were full of frost: Since the mystery of Ye Qingge's life experience can no longer be concealed, she can no longer have any luck or fantasy!

From ancient times to the present, there is only one way to consolidate the throne and imperial power - that is, war!

She must start preparing now, and cannot wait until the incident comes to light and then rush to deal with it. Being prepared for a rainy day is always a must for those who achieve great things.

Thinking of this, the corner of her lips curled up. This is what Ye Jiu wants, right?

Provoking conflicts and wars between the Ye family and the Ying family, causing civil strife, he took the opportunity to attack Dashun's kingdom - so cruel!

Of course, she is no worse than him.

For more than twenty years, she has been secretly winning over people's hearts, cultivating her own power, and constantly eradicating dissidents. She is confident that she and the Ying family will never lose to the Ye family in terms of power and strength.

If we really fight, it’s not certain who will lose!

Although, on the surface, it was Ye Jiu who started this civil war, in fact, the Ye family had long been dissatisfied with her and had absolutely no patience to wait until she died or gave up power. Sooner or later, they would have to deal with her. However, Ye Jiu

With this commotion, the civil war came many years in advance.

It might as well be beaten, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her lips.

If she wins, she will become the legitimate female emperor, and the Ying family will be able to completely replace the Ye family, change the dynasty, and rule the former Dashun country!

It is definitely better to be a queen who stands in front of the stage than to be a queen regent who hides behind the curtain!

After she wins a great victory, she will completely kill all the Ye family members who are not loyal to her and bring the Ye family dynasty to an end in the annals of history.

"Hehehe..." She laughed softly, feeling completely better.

After laughing enough, she sat down leisurely, picked up a pen and wrote a list, and then pulled the rope on the table.

There was a small bell tied to the end of the rope. As soon as she pulled the rope, the bell tied outside the door rang. When the eunuch heard it, he quickly opened the door and entered: "What are your orders?"

Ying Rushuang said calmly: "Let Ying Jinghong come to see me."

The eunuch immediately went out to look for someone.

When Ying Jinghong, who was looking for Ye Qingge outside, came to see her, it was already more than an hour later. Ying Rushuang did not blame him for coming late: "Go and notify the people on the list and ask them to come to the palace to see me at night."

It’s a secret operation, don’t let anyone know about it.”

After Ying Jinghong read the list, he was secretly surprised: These people are all officials who hold important and sensitive positions in the capital. They are all loyal confidants of the empress. The empress summoned all these people in secret. They must be

Something urgent and important happened!

Ying Rushuang gave him the letter without waiting for him to ask: "Read it yourself. After reading it, give it to Yinwu. Let Yinwu go to Wanjun and let Wanjun understand the situation in Liyang."

Ye Wanjun is extremely smart and has a heart-to-heart connection with her, so he must know what she is thinking.

Ying Jinghong was also a smart man, and he vaguely understood his master's thoughts. He did not dare to delay at the moment: "I know what to do, so I will go."

He immediately disappeared.

Ying Rushuang stood by the window, facing the wind. It was late autumn, but her smile was like spring.
