Chapter 240: Shangguan Ling died
The court was preparing for the new emperor's ascension.
Because Dazhou did not have the custom of burying concubines with him, when he ascended the throne, he would declare that the queen became the queen mother and the princess became the concubine.
At this moment, Shangguan Ling was walking back and forth in the queen's bedroom, and his anxiety was very obvious. The queen was also very unhappy. No matter who became the emperor, he was the queen mother, but he was not his son after all, and he would not be on his own in the future. Perhaps his title of queen mother could not always be held in his own hands.
"Mother, what should I do? If Shangguan Yu really waited until he ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Dazhou, I would have no chance at all." Shangguan Ling was so anxious that he was about to cry. If Shao Guanghua hadn't been stabbed, he would have been the emperor of Dazhou. There would be Shangguan Yu there, and he would have vomited it out if he was blown into his mouth. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Ling'er, don't worry, I'll think of another way." The queen was also anxious, but there was no way. Everyone admitted Shangguan Yu. No matter what Ling'er did, she would have no chance to compete with Shangguan Yu.
No, Shangguan Yu must not ascend the throne safely! Shangguan Yu must die!
"Ling'er, there is a way, but it's very risky, I," the queen was actually unwilling to let her son participate in this kind of thing, but judging from the current situation, this is the only way.
"Let's find someone to join Shangguan Yu," the queen made a move to wipe her neck with a knife.
Shangguan Ling naturally understood the queen's meaning, but was afraid that things would be exposed. If it succeeded, no one would compete with him for the throne, which was so attractive. In the end, Shangguan Linghai City was occupied by inner greed and agreed to the queen's suggestion.
"But we have to talk to someone." The queen suddenly remembered someone at this time, Shangguan Qian. Although he was usually as gentle as jade, this kind of person was like a dormant poisonous snake. He didn't know when he would bite you.
"Ling'er knows." Shangguan Ling made an appointment with Shangguan Qian that day, and the queen was also sending people to find an opportunity to assassinate Shangguan Yu.
"I wonder what happened to me with my second brother?" Shangguan Qian didn't know why Shangguan Ling suddenly found him, because in some ways, he was still a competitor, but this relationship also disappeared when Shangguan Yu inherited the throne.
"How is your life now?" Shangguan Ling asked.
"It's okay, it's no different from before." Shangguan Qian guessed Shangguan Ling's intention, but he didn't expose it, waiting for Shangguan Ling to say it himself.
When Shangguan Ling heard this, he just looked at Shangguan Qian even more. He didn't expect that at this time, he still couldn't see the situation clearly. However, Shangguan Ling did not expect that he was being used as a gun.
"Brother, I don't beat you around the bush. I have always said something straightforward. Are you willing to help me?" Shangguan Ling said his intention directly.
Shangguan Qian was not surprised and just asked: "What can I give to me by the second brother? Although I have little power now, I have a stable life."
After hearing Shangguan Qian's words, Shangguan Ling thought to himself, Sure enough, you are also a person who will not suffer any losses, but when dealing with such a person, as long as you prepare what the other party needs, it is more convenient to cooperate.
"Brother, if I ascend the throne, I will promise you to be Duke of Wei, one person is inferior to tens of thousands of people. What about?" Although Shangguan Ling proposed this condition, who would not destroy the bridges across the river?
"Okay, you say, what do I need to do?" Shangguan Qian didn't care what Shangguan Ling Xunuo gave him, but just wanted to know what method he wanted to use to pull Shangguan Yu down.
Shangguan Ling was shocked when he saw Shangguan Qian's agreement so neatly: "If Shangguan Yu dies one day, I want you not to compete for the throne and recommend me to everyone as the emperor of Dazhou." This condition was something Shangguan Ling had thought of early in the morning. As long as he could become the emperor, even if he did not deal with Shangguan Qian at that time, he would be more than enough to undermine him.
"Yes, I agree." After Shangguan Qian knew Shangguan Ling's purpose, he felt mocking in his heart. Will I give up if you want me to give up? That is the throne and he becomes the master of Dazhou.
After Shangguan Ling and Shangguan Qian discussed the matter, Shangguan Ling returned to the queen's bedroom and discussed the specific steps.
"Ling'er, have everything been arranged?"
"Yeah, okay, I've already negotiated with Shangguan Qian." Shangguan Ling answered the queen's question.
But Shangguan Qian agreed so easily that the queen still made the queen suspect that there was a fraud, but now she can't control so much. She just waited until Shangguan Ling succeeded to the throne before dealing with Shangguan Qian.
"I have sent several teams of people. As long as I meet Shangguan Yu, I will solve the problem on the spot. I believe that Shangguan Yu will definitely not be able to escape this time." The queen said confidently. These assassinations were her last trump card!
Shangguan Qian returned to the mansion and thought of what Shangguan Ling said, and came up with a plan in his mind. The last time he killed two birds with one stone but failed, this time he killed two birds with one stone, haha, he will definitely succeed.
Shangguan Yu has been very busy recently, and there are people coming and going in Prince Yu's mansion. Shangguan Yu took a break from his busy schedule and took advantage of the free time to run to Su Muwan's room.
"Wanwan, I finally squeezed out some time, I'll accompany you." Shangguan Yu said gentlely to Su Muwan.
Seeing that Shangguan Yu had lost weight these days, Su Muwan felt very distressed. She touched Shangguan Yu's face and said, "If you are so busy all day after you ascend the throne, what if you are getting thinner and thinner?"
Su Muwan doesn't envy these rights, but just hopes that the person she loves can be safe and happy.
"No, with my Wanwan by my side, how could I lose weight?" Shangguan Yu shaved Su Muwan's nose, and the doting in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"If I ascend the throne, I will not be able to accompany you out. I will take you to a place this afternoon." Shangguan Yu has been preparing for this day for a long time.
"Okay" Su Muwan hasn't gone out for a long time to get some breath. She recovered from Shaohuajun's injuries a few days ago. Although no one restricted her freedom, she has been staying in the house and has been busy with the funeral of the late emperor recently.
Shangguan Yu took Su Muwan and left in an inconspicuous carriage from the back door. As soon as Shangguan Yu left, several people disappeared in Prince Yu's mansion.
Shangguan Yu took Su Muwan and was stopped as soon as he left the city gate, but it was a coincidence that he was next to Liuhu Lake last time.
Shangguan Yu lifted the curtain and saw about a dozen men in black outside the carriage. It seemed that the other party wanted to completely deal with him.
"Wanwan, just stay in the carriage and don't run around!" Shangguan Yu said solemnly to Su Muwan.
Su Muwan was also anxious. Seeing so many people, she was very worried about Shangguan Yu's safety, but going out would only cause trouble for Shangguan Yu, so she could only answer: "Yeah, you have to pay attention to safety."
"Who sent you here? If you leave now, I might be able to spare your life!" Shangguan Yu looked at the group of men in black with awesomeness.
"Don't be scared by his aura. No matter what, he is just one person and cannot defeat so many of us." One of the men in black said loudly, and made a gesture to ask everyone to quickly get rid of Shangguan Yu.
"That's probably not what you want." Shangguan Yu whistled and signaled all the guards hiding in the dark to come out.
The man in black saw that there were so many people following Shangguan Yu, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he had no room to escape, so he could only bite the bullet.
After a while, all the men in black were killed, and even some of them were alive, they committed suicide by taking poison. But no one saw anyone secretly coming here, and one more man in black fell down.
"Wanwan." Shangguan Yu lifted the curtain and said to Su Muwan very sorry: "Wanwan, I'm sorry. I probably can't accompany you to that place this time. I will definitely not miss the appointment next time."
Su Muwan was relieved when she saw that Shangguan Yu was not injured at all. Fortunately, it was fine. Su Muwan was about to see what happened, but Shangguan Yu covered her eyes: "Wanwan, don't scare you."
Shangguan Yu's voice was like a honey arrow, hitting Su Muwan's heart: "Yeah, I won't look."
"Clean this clean!" After that, Shangguan Yu entered the carriage and took Su Muwan back to the palace.
Shangguan Qian stood in an inn in the city, looking at the surrounding scenery, but felt that this second brother really knew how to choose a place. Standing in this place, you could see the scenery next to Liuhu Lake outside the city. If he discovered this good place last time, he could make preparations early.
Shangguan Yu stayed in the study and asked Lan Yu: "Did you find out who gave me the note?"
As soon as Shangguan Yu left Prince Yu's mansion, a note was stuffed with it. When Shangguan Yu saw the note, he felt that something would definitely happen, so he asked Lan Yu to return to the mansion and call the guards, and he survived, but who was it? He would help him at this critical moment.
Mo Yan and Mo Yu, who were dealing with the man in black next to Liuhu, were shocked now. Can anyone tell them why the body of the second prince was found in the man in black!
Mo Yan quickly returned to Prince Yu's mansion to report the news to Shangguan Yu.
"What! Shangguan Ling's corpse! How could his corpse be there? No, how could he die!" Shangguan Yu really didn't know what was going on at this moment.
This is all a game! Shangguan Yu finally understood why someone came to remind himself!
"What should we do?" Lan Yu was shocked when he heard the news. If it was not resolved, he would definitely leave a message. In the past, he would throw the body directly into the mass grave, but there was a second prince here, so naturally he could not throw the body casually!
"Leave it to Dali Temple!" Shangguan Yu thought for a long time and said that this method was the most reliable. If he solved it privately, there would probably be rumors of killing his brother. The most important thing now is to get himself out of this matter.
Chapter completed!
