I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 252

When Chu Lishu came to the Leng Palace, she saw the crazy Concubine Mei, and almost everything in the Leng Palace became the object of her venting.

What makes Chu Lishu feel strange is that since she is so unwilling, why does she easily admit that when she is slandered, she should at least struggle a little longer. It can be said that it is the slander of the court lady. Even if the emperor intends to suppress it, she cannot completely ignore the rules. Just force a confession.

But Concubine Mei did not resist, but directly pleaded guilty.

And now the informant grand lady was given to death because she had hurt Concubine Xu. This kind of superfluous behavior is incomprehensible.

After Chu Lishu was sure she was safe, she made a noise, and Concubine Mei immediately shouted in fear, "Who? Who's over there." Probably because she was worried that someone would assassinate her.

Chu Lishu jumped out. Concubine Mei was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed over and said excitedly, "Chu Lishu, are you all right? How is my father? Has he been arrested?"

Chu Lishu directly explained the situation, and Concubine Mei was stunned, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as father escapes, there will be rescue." After muttering to herself for a while, she anxiously said to Chu Lishu: "You...as long as you don't betray us and protect the fourth prince well, when we turn around in the future, we will definitely repay you."

Seeing Concubine Mei's extremely hideous face, Chu Lishu asked directly: "Why do you have to plead guilty?"

Concubine Mei froze.

Seeing her like this, Chu Lishu seemed to have something hidden, and asked again: "Ms. Concubine Mei should tell me the truth, otherwise we don't know if we can protect you to the death."

Concubine Mei trembled uncontrollably, and finally said: "Last night someone wrote a secret letter threatening me, telling me to confess, otherwise...they have a secret in my hands. If the emperor knows, it will be worse than now." The situation is more serious, so I have to admit it."

"What secret?"

Concubine Mei gritted her teeth, looked at Chu Lishu with sharp eyes, and said, "I can't say, and I can't guarantee that you are definitely facing us now, can you? But I can tell you that my father knows, he will definitely Find a way to save us, so as long as you don't betray, you will be promoted to nobles in the future, everything is easy to talk about."

When a beast is trapped, naturally one can't believe anything. Concubine Mei is not an idiot, she can cry and beg others, but she must not casually reveal the secret that will put their mother and child to death.

Chu Lishu didn't waste time with her, and continued to ask: "Do you have any idea who is threatening you?"

"I really don't know about this. The only people who know that I am still alive are my father and me, but now I can only think of two people who would threaten me to do such a thing. One is Concubine Xu and the other is Empress Cheng." Concubine Mei said hatefully. She said, but she also knew that one of these two people was weak and the other was weak, and she felt motivated but not strong, and she couldn't tell who was dealing with her.

While talking, Chu Lishu heard movement outside, which was the signal from Director Hai, so he hid immediately.

In fact, why Concubine Mei was killed and what secrets she was hiding were not important to Chu Lishu's entire plan. He was originally going to deal with Prime Minister Li and Concubine Mei.So I won't waste energy trying to figure out the truth.

The main purpose of his coming is actually to...

Concubine Mei looked at the person and immediately said angrily: "What are you doing here! Are you here to ridicule me and take revenge on me?"

"Are you really going to kill me?" A weak and disappointed voice came, and it was Xu Bin who said he was coming.

But at this time, it was not only Concubine Xu who came, she was accompanied by a person dressed as an imperial guard.With just one glance, Chu Lishu knew that he was a master, but he knew all the masters in the imperial guards, but this person was unfamiliar.

Chu Lishu had to carefully hide his aura. He wasn't sure if this person could find him, but so far it seemed that he hadn't.

"What's the point of asking these questions now, Concubine Xu, don't hurt my child, or I won't let you go."

"I won't, I know the fourth prince is innocent."

Concubine Mei looked at Concubine Xu in disbelief, "Concubine Xu, I'm already your defeated general and imprisoned, what's the point of you pretending to be with me now? Could it be that it's not because of you father and daughter that I have fallen to this point? "

Concubine Mei is not stupid, since she is not sure who is going to harm her, she seizes the opportunity to test it out as much as possible.

Xu Bin frowned and shook her head, "I really don't know anything."

Concubine Xu's attitude of not changing from beginning to end confuses Concubine Mei. Is Concubine Xu really innocent?

"If you really don't know anything, then you have to be careful, you fool, be careful that the man of darkness will deal with you next! Your father dared to tear us apart at this time, he thought he could deal with it who?"

Hearing these harsh words, Concubine Xu seemed a little sad, so she could only say: "Concubine Mei, I came here with good intentions, since you don't appreciate it, forget it, the fourth prince asked me to bring you a message, and I will leave after I finish speaking."

After Concubine Xu conveyed the words of the fourth prince, she actually left.

But after all, he still stayed at the door and said the last sentence, "Concubine Mei, in fact, you never loved your son, did you? It's your only bargaining chip to stand up."

Concubine Mei was stunned for a moment, and after Xu Bin finished speaking, she turned around and left.

When Concubine Mei calmed down and wanted to call Chu Lishu again, she found that Chu Lishu was gone.

After listening to their conversation, Chu Lishu told Lin Qingyang after returning that the purpose of his visit was to see if there was any problem with Concubine Xu.

After Lin Qingyang finished listening, he was also a little distressed and said, "I didn't know if Concubine Xu had a problem, but there is indeed someone who is making trouble secretly. Could it be a poisonous snake?"

Chu Li's face darkened slightly, and she had no clue at the moment, so she could only wait and see what happened.

The emperor began to anxiously clean up Prime Minister Li's influence, and also sent people to arrest Prime Minister Li, but at the same time, he received an urgent message about Zhao Cheng.

Director Hai also brought the news from Lushi from the outside.

First, Xu Wenze has not yet woken up, and Wei Guogong's mansion is still quiet.

Second, news came from Lu Yi from the east that after being assassinated several times, Zhao Cheng contracted a serious disease, died of illness, and his body was cremated.And all the killers who chased him died, and Xueyuan Pavilion suffered a heavy loss.

however……

[Second task set, task 21: Helping the hero to eradicate General Zhao failed.Deduct points 300]

Chu Lishu looked at the secret letter and frowned. Even if Xu Wenze had suffered internal injuries, there was no reason why it would take so long.

As for Zhao Cheng... Lu Yi's message clearly stated that he did not see Zhao Cheng's body with his own eyes.

Suddenly, Lin Qingyang grabbed Chu Lishu's hand and said very seriously, "Zhao Cheng is sure..." But the words came to his lips but he couldn't get out.

Chu Lishu was slightly taken aback, seeing that Lin Qingyang was already sweating, obviously he couldn't say anything, thinking of his special situation, Chu Lishu responded instantly: "Zhao Cheng is not dead."

Lin Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Lishu patted Lin Qingyang lightly to reassure him, "Zhao Cheng faked his death because he suspected that the emperor wanted to kill him. He faked his death to avoid chasing and killing him. When did he disappear from everyone's sight? Doubt, maybe he has joined Prime Minister Li. Since the emperor wants to kill him, he has no reason to be loyal. This may be beneficial to us. If they rebel, let them rebel first, and wait for Huo Luo to bring troops back in due course , you can be a 'King King'."

King Qin is the courtier who sent troops to rescue the kidnapped emperor.

At that time, it will be a random killing, and the final result will naturally be written by the winner.

Originally, Chu Lishu wanted to fight without bloodshed, but since the conditions had already developed in another way, Chu Lishu naturally followed the trend.

When Lin Qingyang saw that Chu Lishu was still in his mind, he was not so worried immediately.

Look at the new information on the system interface.

Lin Qingyang sighed, finally came to this step.

[The second set of missions, to help the hero break down and weaken the forces of all parties, was successfully completed, the third set of missions, to help the hero ascend the throne and become the emperor, the mission started, the total points are 2900, and the progress of the plot is 97%]

[Friendly reminder to the host, the progress of the final plot is the most critical, please complete it carefully, the door to a free life in the future is opening to you. 】

Not only is he going to be free, Chu Lishu's suffering is also coming to an end, as long as everything goes well in the future, they can...

[The third task set, task 1: Kill the emperor]

In the original text, taking advantage of the emperor's complete illness, the imperial army directly sealed off the palace. After all, at that time, everything had come to fruition, and there were not many obstacles.

This time, the situation was similar, the emperor was indeed dying gradually, and he also got the news that Zhao Cheng died of illness, but he was suspicious. Let Zhao Cheng's army come back. He is afraid that these people will be rebels if they come back. There are 5 people, so they must not be taken lightly.But he felt that the current situation was very unstable. He was keenly aware that he was not safe yet. Of the [-] troops in his hand, only [-] were in the capital.

Among them, [-] were in the military camps outside the capital, and [-] were in the city, including the Imperial City Army, the Forbidden Army, and the imperial guards. Among them, only a few thousand people were closest to him.

So the emperor planned to bring back another [-] defenders in the northwest.

It's just that as soon as his order was issued, Chu Lishu's secret letter was sent to Xiyue Kingdom.

The next day, the Northwest defenders were harassed by the border troops of the West Moon Kingdom.

In this situation, the emperor naturally didn't dare to call them back, so he could only order Huo Luo to come back quickly.

Because of such a changeable atmosphere, the whole capital gradually became uneasy, with a feeling that a storm was coming.

In fact, Huo Luo was already near the capital, but Chu Lishu had the final say on when Huo Luo would arrive.

And Yuechen also sent a letter back, and indeed saw a team of thousands of people marching towards the capital, obviously some people really planned to rebel, and it was not surprising that they were Prime Minister Li and Zhao Cheng.Although the emperor didn't let Zhao Cheng's team come back, but Zhao Cheng has led troops for many years, so naturally he has his own confidants to follow, and he can still get thousands of soldiers and horses.

There are also people from Prime Minister Li and Zhao Cheng in the Imperial City Army. It is not difficult to sneak into the capital, and there may even be people who betray and follow them. Who is more likely to win.But the emperor's sickness obviously lost out.

The wind and rain outside are changing, Chu Lishu and Lin Qingyang are temporarily watching from the sidelines, waiting for development.

On the other side, Lin Qingyang was worried about Xu Wenze, so he suggested that Lu Shi take Mu Huichun to see Xu Wenze.Chu Lishu also felt it was necessary, so he asked Lv Shi to arrange it.

At night, Lu Shi sneaked into Wei Guogong's mansion with Mu Huichun.

As soon as he entered, Mu Huichun smelled blood and asked Lu Shi to wait.

The two waited on the wall for a while, and saw a rockery suddenly moved away, and Wei Guogong came out from it, holding a box in both hands.

And inside that box was a severed hand that was still bleeding.

Judging by the appearance of the severed hand, it was obviously the left hand of the young man.

The two looked at each other, not knowing why, but it was quite surprising to see Wei Guogong leaving the mansion directly with someone.However, it would be more beneficial for them to leave, so they waited until the mansion was quiet before finding Xu Wenze's room, where only a drug boy was dozing off.

Just as Lu Shi was about to make a move, Mu Huichun stopped him directly. As soon as he made a move, the medicine powder fell, and Yao Tong fell asleep.

The two successfully saw Xu Wenze who was already a little thin on the bed.

Mu Huichun stepped forward to check his pulse, his expression changed immediately, then he picked up the medicine next to him, sniffed it, and said: "It turns out that the internal injury has been healed a long time ago, but someone has been adding drugs to his medicine, he will remain unconscious."

"So, there is indeed a problem with Duke Wei's mansion, so wake him up quickly," Lu Shi said.

This is very simple for Mu Huichun, Xu Wenze wakes up quickly when a silver needle is inserted. He told the truth.

He couldn't believe it, digesting everything in a drowsy state, trying to stop it, but there was nothing he could do.

This time when he woke up, he saw different people beside the bed. After reacting for a while and recognizing them, Xu Wenze immediately grabbed them.

"you……"

"Lin Qingyang and Chu Lishu are worried about you, let us take a look..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Xu Wenze said sharply: "Leave me alone, my family wants to kill Chu Lishu, go... take them out of the palace! Otherwise, it will be too late."

The two were stunned for a moment, and Lu Shi sneered and said: "My master has long known that Wei Guogong has a problem, and he is on guard. If he wants to kill my master, it depends on whether he has the ability."

Mu Huichun also felt that with Chu Lishu's caution, it would not be so easy to kill him.

But Xu Wenze completely lost his former demeanor and shouted: "It's not that simple!"

Following Xu Wenze's narration, the faces of the two gradually changed, and finally turned pale.

Lu Shi couldn't care about anything else anymore, he turned around and ran with lightness kung fu, but when he came outside, he saw completely different soldiers running fast, and suddenly found that Zhao Cheng was so fast that he had successfully led the rebel army Gather in the city, and plan to go straight to Huanglong tonight.

Mu Huichun wanted to run too, but was held back by Xu Wenze, "You take me with you, maybe you can..."

"That's your family, Chu Lishu is your enemy."

"But Lishu and Qingyang are my friends, I can't watch them have an accident, I can be their hostage if necessary. And I know... my family is doing something wrong." Xu Wenze's eyes turned red as he said that , and then firmly asked Mu Huichun to take him with him.

The two people who don't know martial arts can only rush out all the way.

In the entire capital, Chu Lishu's subordinates thought that everything was proceeding according to Chu Lishu's plan, and Prime Minister Li and Zhao Cheng had rebelled, so they just waited quietly for the news.

After all, Chu Lishu and Lin Qingyang belong to the Party of the Four Princes, so naturally they will not be in danger. When the rebellion succeeds, the emperor and those who opposed Prime Minister Li, including Wei Guogong, will be wiped out. When the remnants of the party are left, just take advantage of the chaos to deal with the Four Princes' Party.

The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, and Chu Lishu is the oriole.

Inside the palace.

Chu Lishu's other subordinates had already sent the news of the rebel army's attack immediately, and Chu Lishu directly told the commander of the imperial guards to treat them with water and preserve their strength.

The rebel army had to go through three layers of confrontation before they came to the emperor. The first layer was the imperial city army that still had a part of their allegiance, and it was the most time-consuming here.

When they enter the gate of the palace, they will be the forbidden army. As long as the forbidden army releases water, the rebel army can quickly meet the emperor's guards, the imperial guards. This is the last barrier.

"It's really going to be fought." After Lin Qingyang read the news, he sighed and said, "Blood will flow like a river..."

Chu Li wrote: "It's inevitable, Qingyang, later you and the fourth prince will go to the Queen Mother's side, I want to be alone..."

"Are you going to kill the emperor?" Lin Qingyang asked.

Chu Lishu nodded. This blood feud, his fate, and the death of his father, queen and mother all need to be settled by himself... It is impossible for others to preempt him, so he will choose to kill the emperor before Zhao Cheng and Prime Minister Li come in. , start first.

The timing came when everyone went out to fight the rebels.

At that time, there will be very few master shadow guards around the emperor, and it will be the best opportunity for Chu Lishu to kill him.

"I'll accompany you, it's not that I don't dare to watch." Lin Qingyang objected immediately.

"That's not what I meant. I also want you to accompany me, but now... I have more important things for you to do." Chu Lishu said seriously.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyang immediately obeyed.

"In the past few days, I have observed carefully, and I believe my intuition that Wei Guogong's mansion is the most suitable for the poisonous snake that Yusuoxi said, so I want you to take the fourth prince to the Empress Dowager's palace, keep an eye on Concubine Xu, and never leave. If we find something wrong, we will hold her hostage. In the future, there will only be two opposing forces. If Prime Minister Li wins, we naturally don’t have to worry about it. If it’s Duke Wei’s mansion, we don’t have to worry about having Concubine Xu in our hands.” Chu Lishu analyzed seriously.

"Sorry, that's what I'm supposed to do, but I have to go..."

Lin Qingyang laughed, "I'm very glad that you are willing to let me fight side by side with you. Don't worry, since you said doubts, I will never be soft-hearted. At worst, I will misunderstand in the future. I will kneel down and apologize, but once she If there is any movement, my dagger will definitely touch her neck."

The reason why Chu Lishu dared to let Lin Qingyang do this was also because Yusuoxi said that the other party had not discovered their relationship, and their relationship had been well protected from the outside world. Yang once gave his life to save Concubine Xu, and the other party would forgive him, but Lin Qingyang could kill him. He believed that even if Lin Qingyang was usually a good person, he could still tell who was his own and who was the enemy.

Now that the juncture is coming, the most important thing will naturally be handed over to the most trusted person.

There seemed to be the sound of fighting outside, and the fourth prince was calling their names in another palace.

The two looked at each other, Chu Lishu couldn't help but hugged him and kissed him, before planning to let Lin Qingyang go.

Lin Qingyang suddenly didn't know what was wrong, and he had an impulse not to let go, so he pulled him to him again, Chu Lishu seemed to have a tacit understanding, and couldn't help but kiss them together.

At this moment, there was an intuition that she was unwilling to end the kiss, until the two of them lost control and tasted the smell of blood, then they could barely stop.

Chu Lishu stared at the person in front of him affectionately, "Be careful, the same sentence, everything else is secondary tasks, you know? I will finish it soon, and then I will come to you."

"Well, be careful too, see you later." Lin Qingyang still showed a warm smile.

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally parted reluctantly.

The door opened, and the two walked out. The starry sky at night was bright, but it couldn't cover the flames of war in the distance.

Lin Qingyang went to look for the fourth prince, while Chu Lishu went to the Palace of Qinzheng.

Both of them left several big insiders around, all of them were their own people.

Everything should be safe.
