This is a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet hosted by the royal family, so it’s hard to refuse.
Moreover, Lin Wanyi's figure had changed significantly at that time, and I was afraid that she would no longer be able to hide her pregnancy.
Lin Wanyi asked: "Yan Ci, what step will your plan take at that time?"
"If it goes well, it will be a forced pregnancy. If it doesn't go well..."
Lin Wanyi stretched out her hand, folded it with his, and said seriously: "If things don't go well, we will face it together."
Yan Ci smiled tenderly.
If it really didn't go well, how could he be willing to face Huanwan with him?
According to his original revenge plan, the probability of success was at least 90%, but now for the sake of Hanhan and his children, he had moved forward all his revenge plans.
Under such circumstances, there will inevitably be some mistakes, and the probability of success will naturally be reduced to 70%.
But even so, Yan Ci did not regret it at all.
It's okay to succeed, but if there is a 30% chance of failure, he will arrange everything in advance for Huanwan and the child.
**
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, battle reports came from the northern border. The Ninth Prince and the Minister of War, Du Yu, were defeated by the rebels. Especially the Ninth Prince, he was seriously injured and his hamstring was broken.
The previous third prince had a fake leg, but now the ninth prince has a real leg disability.
If you are disabled, you are not qualified to be the crown prince.
After Concubine Lin got the news, she fainted. Some time ago, because of Princess Boya's incident, the ministers in their hands were in trouble, and the Seventh Prince, who had suffered various losses, immediately celebrated with his advisers when he heard the news. .
At the same time, the third prince, who had not been released after a month of shut-in, was also extremely happy.
In the Governor's Mansion, Lin Wanyi helped Yan Ci straighten the collar of his official uniform and said, "The seventh prince must be the happiest now."
Yan Ci was worried that it would be too hard for her to hold her head up, so she lowered her head slightly and obediently asked her to adjust her collar.
He shook his head, "If I were the seventh prince, I should keep a low profile at this time."
"Yes, the Ninth Prince's leg is disabled, but the Seventh Prince doesn't have much power left in his hands."
Now, even though the Ministry of War was in full force, the Ninth Prince was seriously injured, but Du Yu was fine. The emperor, who was already suspicious, would not have thought too much about whether the Seventh Prince was involved in this?
They guessed right, and the emperor was furious!
For so many years, he had allowed his two sons to seize the throne. No matter how big the trouble was, he would deal with it lightly in the end. Occasionally he would make mistakes, but it would only be a fifty-fifty hit each, without any pain.
But this time, Lao Jiu’s legs were broken!
Although the emperor had been doting on Concubine Yan recently, he couldn't bear to see his former beloved concubine Lin Huanggui crying like a child in front of him.
"Meiran, don't worry, I will definitely have someone investigate this matter thoroughly! If someone does it intentionally, I will definitely not take mercy lightly!"
Concubine Lin Huang suddenly raised her head. She clutched the emperor's dragon robe tightly and said: "Your Majesty, let Yan Ci investigate. Don't let others investigate. Yan Ci is yours. He will definitely find out the truth. What is the truth? Who hurt Jing’an!”
The emperor didn't understand that Lin Meiran didn't trust other people. She thought that others might have become the seventh or third child.
His original intention was to let Yan leave and go to the north.
The most important thing is that the rebel army is so powerful that it really makes the emperor afraid.
So he patted Lin Meiran's back gently and said gently: "Okay, it's up to you. I'll send you a banquet to leave."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In order to appease Concubine Lin Huang, the emperor stayed in her palace for one night before leaving the next day to go to court.
When Imperial Concubine Lin was combing her hair, the sorrow and sorrow on her face had disappeared. She stared at herself in the bronze mirror with sinister eyes.
This matter was either done by the seventh child or the third child!
Either Lao Qi instigated Du Yu and tampered with him during the war, or Lao San was planning to lend a knife and kill someone!
"No matter who you are, I will never let you go!"
Concubine Lin Huang suddenly thought of something and said to her confidants: "Go and bring His Highness Ninth Prince's concubine who gave birth to a son, mother and son, into the palace."
Although her Jing'an is ruined, she already has a son, so she hasn't lost yet!
In the morning court, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and scolded the Seventh Prince, causing all the ministers to panic for a moment.
Finally, the emperor said coldly: "I have decided to send people to the north again and bring Lao Jiu back at the same time. Is there anyone among you who is willing to accept the order?"
Ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, no one makes a sound.
Although this is a good opportunity, if it succeeds, you can get promoted and make a fortune. But the point is, the likelihood of success is too low.
And to be more precise, it’s a mess!
The rebels couldn't be defeated, and the Ninth Prince was injured. There might be something fishy going on here.
The people of the Ninth Prince's faction were hesitant and didn't know what to do, while the people of the Seventh Prince were complacent.
As for the Third Prince, they continued to maintain a neutral attitude.
They dare not show their ambitions right away.
Looking at this group of people, the emperor became very angry. He slammed the table and shouted: "Why, in such a group of people, no one is willing to take the initiative to share my worries?"
When he said this, his eyes fell on Yanci, obviously hoping that Yanci would come to the rescue.
But Yan Ci put his hand to his lips, coughed slightly, and didn't say anything immediately.
At this moment, a minister spoke up, "I think Mr. Gu Entai Gu is more suitable."
The others were stunned and turned to look at Gu Entai, who was standing at the end. Gu Entai himself was also stunned.
Everyone realized that this Gu Entai was in the northern border and had poor supervision, which led to the accidental death of General Mu.
He is indeed more familiar with the situation in the north.
The best thing is that this person has no foundation, does not take sides, does not obey any prince, and is very upright and upright.
Well chosen!
Adhering to the principle that one's own people cannot go, but one cannot let the opponent get the slightest benefit, everyone began to agree.
In the end, Gu Entai became the best candidate to lead troops to the north!
The emperor looked at Gu Entai, who looked loyal and upright, and was very satisfied. He seemed to be very concerned and said: "I heard that General Gu has not married yet?"
Gu Entai nodded honestly, but his ears were slightly red, and he looked very honest. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's just that I already have the girl I like, but I haven't proposed marriage yet."
The emperor smiled and said: "Then I will make the decision for you today and let you get married before setting off to the north! In this way, with your wife accompanying your sister, you will have no worries."
Gu Entai: "..."
