Chapter 437 - 437"Does the Queen still have anything else on Zhong Lixian?" Wei Yuanwei was starting to worry. If that was the case, then what she did was useless and did not matter. If Zhong Lixian died, then Mu Jin"s revenge would be delayed.
However, who could guarantee that Zhong Lixian did not inform others about Mu Jin"s ident.i.ty? Furthermore, she repeatedly reminded that person, as long as anything happened to him, she would spread Mu Jin"s true ident.i.ty.
"As long as Zhong Lixian does something that would harm the empress, she would immediately report it to the emperor. Zhong Lixian had already intended to rebel, and had even prepared proof of it!" This was something that Mu Jin had only discovered after a long period of investigation, "Furthermore, Little Yun Zi is that key chess piece. As long as the empress is in trouble, then Little Yun Zi will hand over the most crucial piece of evidence regarding Zhong Lixian"s conspiracy … It can be said that the Empress spent a lot of effort to bury this chess piece by Zhong Lixian"s side! "
Wei Yuanwei"s eyes were wide open. She never thought that Little Yun Zi would actually be someone of the empress, and even more so, that the empress would plot such a plot behind her back.
"It"s impossible for Little Yun Zi to be someone of the empress, right? Zhong Lixian is extremely sharp and cautious! "
"Therefore, the empress can only give Little Yun Zi two missions. One, you must remain loyal to Zhong Lixian at all times, and you don"t need Little Yun Zi to pa.s.s on any news. Two, when the empress is in trouble, present the evidence to the emperor!" Little Yun Zi had always been one of the empress"s people, but because the empress had never interacted with Little Yun Zi, or even had Little Yun Zi pa.s.s on any news of Zhong Lixian, it was extremely difficult for Zhong Lixian to find out that Little Yun Zi was the empress"s person.
Wei Yuanwei felt that this stratagem palace fighting was much more knowledgeable than house fighting, much more scheming and intelligent.
At this moment, she felt how naive she was.
This scheme was more complicated than she had imagined, and more so than she could play with.
However...
However, Wei Yuanwei swept away the haze in front of him in an instant, and the real Little Yun Zi had already been replaced by Li Chu.
"Iris, I originally wanted to accompany you to celebrate New Year"s with me, but now, I have to go and stop the empress. Zhong Lixian can"t die!" Mu Jin was very certain and determined, not because of his revenge plan, but because of Wei Yuanwei.
If Zhong Lixian died, then Wei Yuanwei would also die, he absolutely could not lose Wei Yuanwei.
However, Wei Yuanwei tugged on Mu Jin"s sleeve. "If not for that crucial piece of evidence regarding Little Yun Zi, would Zhong Lixian have died? Or would she be charged with conspiracy? "
"Yes, the key evidence that Little Yun Zi has provided is also extremely important. If Little Yun Zi does not testify or produce evidence, Zhong Lixian will be fine!" Mu Jin"s eyes were as black as ink.
As Zhong Lixian"s trusted aide, the Emperor would naturally believe in Xiao Yunzi"s words even more.
The empress had long planned out such a scenario. As long as the empress"s life was in danger, she would fight Zhong Lixian to the death.
If the emperor was still alive, he would accuse Zhong Lixian of plotting to kill the emperor, and would then offer a large pile of evidence that Zhong Lixian already knew she wasn"t the empress herself. In order to prevent the position of crown prince from falling to someone else, she impatiently prepared to poison the emperor so that she could ascend the throne as soon as possible.
If the emperor pa.s.sed away, the empress would accuse Zhong Lixian of conspiring against his. After that, when the various princes and officials of the empress saw the various evidence provided by Little Yun Zi and the others, they would inevitably cause a bloodbath again.
In the end, Zhong Lixian was killed by the other princes!
The empress and general had two plans, and the most important one was naturally Little Yun Zi"s testimony and evidence.
"That"s good. You didn"t accidentally overhear Little Yun Zi"s words. Instead, Little Yun Zi purposely said he was giving them to you, because the current Little Yun Zi is actually Ah Qing pretending!" Wei Yuanwei looked at Mu Jin with an indifferent expression.
"Ah Qing?" Mu Jin"s elegant eyes slightly creased, but the conspiracy in them slowly dissipated. "Are you sure?"
"I"m sure, don"t worry!" Wei Yuanwei said with absolute certainty.
However, Mu Jin shook her head, "No, I want to confirm that I don"t want you to do anything stupid for me!" With that, Mu Jin whistled.
In a split-second, a black figure appeared at the window.
Shangli stood in the shadows, her gaze downcast, and could only roughly make out the outline of his figure.
Mu Jin explained the situation to Shangli and instructed him to go into the palace to find out what happened to Zhong Lixian.
Shangli acknowledged her, and quickly flew out.
It had been a very long time since Wei Yuanwei last saw him, to the point that she had almost forgotten about him.
If he remembered correctly, the reason why Shangli kept herself hidden in the darkness was because his nose was collapsed, making him look extremely strange.
"My lord, how could I possibly take my life as a joke? Zhong Lixian being able to send me out of the palace safely means that he still has the ability to protect herself, and that little Yun Zi was indeed a disguise boy for Ah Qing. Ah Qing"s disguise methods are truly more brilliant. Wei Yuanwei knew that it was not because Mu Jin didn"t trust him, but because Mu Jin was more afraid of what she would do.
"I hope that Little Yun Zi is Ah Qing!" With this hope in her heart, Mu Jin looked out of the window at the moon and frowned slightly.
Things went much better than what they had imagined, but it was indeed as Mu Jin had said. Zhong Lixian was not in a good position, the Empress and the Great General"s men had persuaded some of the officials to suspect that Zhong Lixian already knew of her true ident.i.ty, and had even intentionally tried to harm the Emperor. They had even listed some so-called evidence against him.
However, there was no evidence in Little Yun Zi"s possession. Furthermore, the evidence had to be provided by Little Yun Zi, so both sides were in a deadlock for the time being.
Yet when the so called evidence was presented, Zhong Lixian quickly made the emperor believe that all of this was fabricated to frame him.
Killing all the people in the imperial court, Zhong Lixian was even more direct, saying that she was willing to be demoted to a commoner and leave the palace!
Especially the last sentence, which had great killing power. If he were to be demoted to a commoner, then Zhong Lixian wouldn"t even be considered a prince anymore.
Furthermore, Zhong Lixian was extremely sincere, and extremely determined.
His tone was unquestionable.
When the prince and the other officials questioned Zhong Lixian"s words, Zhong Lixian didn"t explain anything. She just knelt down and requested for the Emperor"s order.
