Chapter 10 Conspiracy
Seeing Sima Lun speechless, Sun Xiu immediately answered for him, "This is because among the ministers, there are not many people who actually support her. Her confidants either come for profit or their relatives. They seem to control all the key points, but as long as they capture Empress Jia, or prestigious people, such as Prince Sima Yu, climb the high ground, and shout. The key points she controls will lose their effectiveness. No one will obey these confidants anymore, and these confidants will no longer fight for their lives when they are captured."
When Sima Lun heard this, Fang felt frightened and asked quickly: "Junzhong, what should we do?"
Sun Xiu smiled sinisterly and replied to Sima Lun: "For the long-term peace and prosperity of the Lord, we must of course get rid of this prestigious person as soon as possible."
Sima Lun's face froze: "Are you talking about getting rid of Sima Yu and assassination? But the East Palace is very strict and there are two hundred excellent armored guards raised by Sima Yu himself. Assassination is rare!"
Sun Xiu shook his head and said, "Assassination must not work, we need to launch another palace transformation."
When Sima Lun heard what he said, he shook his head and said, "How is this possible? You know, we used Empress Jia to eliminate Empress Jia under the banner of clearing the wrongs of the prince. Now that the prince's crime has been removed, what crime should we give him? Besides, he has disobedient words to the emperor? Isn't this slap yourself in the face? Even if we can successfully eliminate Sima, can the ministers in the court be convinced? Can the princes of each town give up? Then we will come and attack me together."
Sun Xiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord, this is the intention of Xiu singing this drama in the court today." After that, he attached himself to Sima Lun's ear and whispered for a moment. During this period, Sima Lun's expression continued to change, with shock, fear, joy, and hesitation.
After Sun Xiu finished speaking, Sima Lun took a deep breath and said, "This plan is too bold. If it fails, you and I will be crushed to pieces, and will die without a place to bury them, and be from the three tribes of the Yi tribe!"
Sun Xiu's expression became serious at this time and said solemnly: "Master, now we are like pawns crossing the river on the chessboard, we can only advance but not retreat. There is still vitality and hope, and retreat can only be a deep abyss. Sima Yu is smart and fierce, and will eventually discover the things we encouraged Jia Queen to kill him. When he is full of wings, he will inevitably kill us. So we have nothing to hesitate. In addition, although this matter is as the Lord said that the risks are huge, once it succeeds, the Lord will have the opportunity to rule the world and become the Lord of the Nine Five."
When Sima Lun heard Sun Xiu's last words, he suddenly became excited, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't do it!"
...
On this day, the Shangshu Ling Wang Yan's mansion was happily celebrating that his master Wang Yan had escaped from the prison. Two large tables were arranged with a full family banquet. Wang Yan took a bath and used soy sauce to remove the bad luck before he served the table and had a banquet with his family.
The children and wives and concubines all toasted Wang Yan. Wang Yan was imprisoned in a hard prison for many days, and only then did he realize the happiness of his daily life and the delicious and fresh fragrance of this table full of delicious wine and food.
He drank three cups in a row and ate several mouthfuls of the dishes. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect that our family would save my husband's life in the end. But they would become talents in the future, but they would suffer."
A girl sitting at the same table said while carrying a fish bone of a bass, "It doesn't matter. I'm always married to the palace. I was just going to marry my son, but I ended up marrying an old man. I was still a foolish old man. But my sister was sad. She was already in love with the prince." This girl is Wang Yan's little girl, Wang Ting's sister Wang Wan.
Wang Wan's mother Guo said with a wry smile: "Silly child, how can it be the same? If you marry the princess, you will be the princess and the queen will be the life of the queen in the future. You are now a talented person in the palace, and the difference is huge."
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Wang Yan took another glass of wine, put down the glass before scolding Wang Wan: "Shut up, what a dementia, the old man. How can you say such a ruthless disobedient saying? Be careful to be heard by outsiders."
Wang Wan, who was fifteen or sixteen, stopped talking and started eating fish on her own. Only then did Wang Yan find something wrong, glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't Ting'er come to eat?"
Guo sighed and said, "Ting'er can't eat now, and she's in her boudoir." Wang Yan was stunned, but then shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.
...
Wang Ting sat upright in the boudoir, looking at her delicate facial features in front of the bronze mirror. But what appeared in the bronze mirror was Sima Yu's shadow, including the present, the youth, and the young.
She already knew that even now, Sima Yu had tried his best to win in the court. But, would she really have to be a talented person in the palace for the rest of her life? If she was lucky enough to be a little stunned emperor, she would have become Ah Yu's mother in name. Thinking of this, two lines of clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
Wang Ting sat in the boudoir without eating or drinking. Before she knew it, the sun settling down to the west. The sunlight through the pane cast her figure long on the floor. One of Wang Ting's personal maids suddenly flashed in and said to Wang Ting: "Xiao Niang, there are a few people coming from outside the door, saying that they came from the East Palace. They also said that the prince had important matters to discuss with Xiao Niang, so he sent them to pick her up into the palace."
Wang Ting was surprised and happy when she heard this. She asked quickly: "What do you say, sir?"
The maid replied, "Others don't know about this, because the person who came said that the prince ordered the secret to act. So they only knew Wang Laosan, the headmaster of the mansion, who had done things in the imperial guards of the East Palace, so they recognized them. So they came to me and informed the lady."
When Wang Ting heard this, she didn't think about it. She simply packed up and led the way to the side door of the palace by her maid. Wang Laosan was already waiting aside. Seeing Wang Ting coming, she quickly opened the side door. There was a car parked outside the door. There were knight guards in front and behind.
Wang Ting got on the carriage, and the coachman whipped a whip. The carriage drove towards the direction of the palace without any speed or slowness.
...
In the Luoyang Palace, Du Ting, the Huangmen Minister of the East Palace, hurried to the temple prison before it was dark. This temple prison is similar to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of later dynasties, and specializes in the organization that is in charge of eunuchs, eunuchs and palace maids. It is both an institution and an official name.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, the temple supervisor informed Du Ting, saying that the chief summoned eunuchs above the Yellow Gate of each palace and the palace to discuss matters. Du Ting had never seen the new temple supervisor, and did not know his nature, so he did not dare to neglect and came quickly.
