Shen Tianjiao hugged the kitten tightly in her arms, flew down from the roof and landed safely.
"Get some fish, and, yes, some milk."
After Shen Tianjiao gave instructions to the palace maid on night watch, she carried the kitten into the house.
The fish and milk were soon served. The cat was really hungry, so he started eating without caring about anything else.
The kitten, who was soon full and satisfied, wagged its tail contentedly, looked up at Shen Tianjiao, and meowed again.
Originally, Shen Tianjiao planned to let the palace maid take the cat away, but she didn't expect that this cat, which was well fed and well-drinking, would turn into a little rascal.
He insisted on getting close to Shen Tianjiao's arms and couldn't be driven away. In the end, he even shamelessly grabbed Shen Tianjiao's clothes and rubbed against her arms again. He found a comfortable angle and fell asleep snoring.
Shen Tianjiao looked down helplessly at this rogue kitten that had become dependent on her, and in the end she could only let it go and let it go.
In Yuxiu Palace, Shen Tianjiao lives in harmony with the kitten that suddenly breaks in, while outside Yuxiu Palace, the kitten's owner is anxiously looking for it.
"Girl, let's go back quickly. This is not the place we should be. If we are discovered, we will be severely punished."
An old lady looked around nervously, her heart almost beating out of her chest.
This is the inner palace, where the emperor and empress live. Given her status and the status of the girl in front of her, they absolutely cannot walk around here freely.
If their tracks were discovered, they would be beaten to death without asking for any reason.
Although she is already old, she doesn't want to die now, and she doesn't want to be beaten to death.
"But, but, but the ball of fur has not been found yet." The little girl next to him who was born in the Year of the Ox and had a crying voice was none other than Anping.
"Girl, it's just a cat. Your life and mine are more important than it."
The old nanny had lost the energy to persuade Anping anymore. She was only thinking about how to leave here as quickly as possible.
"If you're dead, what's the point of finding it?"
"Come on, come back with me. That little bastard will get tired of wandering around outside and will come back on his own."
Although Anping was sad because she couldn't find her kitten, she also knew that now was not the time to be willful.
During these days in the palace, she had learned and heard a lot of things. She knew that this place was different from where she had been before. Here, she had to be more obedient and abide by the rules in order to survive.
Anping was finally dragged away by the old nanny despite being reluctant. At this time, the kitten named Maoqiu that she was looking for was sleeping soundly in Yuxiu Palace.
Chunchao brought his men to Wang Yunzhi's house. Without any unnecessary formalities, they went straight to the point.
After listening to Chunniang's words, Wang Yunzhi pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is actually not difficult. Li Zhaohui has very few people in the capital right now, so she can't cause much trouble at all."
The reason why Li Chaohui would disregard everything and humble herself in front of Wang Yunzhi was not only because of the complicated emotional entanglement between her and Wang Yunzhi.
There is another more important reason, that is, Wang Yunzhi is the head of all officials, and most of the court officials listen to him.
Li Chaohui wanted to rebel and gain a foothold. In addition to the army, she also needed the support of court officials.
As long as these court officials are willing to listen to her, her rebellion will be halfway successful.
So what she urgently needs now is Wang Yunzhi's support.
"Dealing with Li Zhaohui isn't difficult, but the challenge lies in how to avoid making a big fuss and attracting too much attention."
Although Li Chaohui's power is not as great as before, he still has some supporters.
Her supporters are not ordinary people. They are people who can stir up trouble behind the scenes.
With them involved, there will be no peace in the capital.
"The Queen's intention is to minimize the incident and resolve it within a small area, so as to avoid harming innocent people and causing unnecessary chaos."
Wang Yunzhi naturally knew what Chunchao meant. Li Chaohui still had some influence in Beijing.
If this matter gets out of hand, it will not only cause a large number of casualties, but many people who are unaware of the truth will be instigated and get involved. In that case, Shangjing will become a cemetery. I wonder how many people will die?
"If we want to prevent chaos in the capital and prevent innocent people from getting hurt, it's actually not that difficult."
Since Wang Yunzhi said this, he must have a plan in mind.
"Originally, the Empress planned to resolve this matter in the palace."
"Then we can still resolve this matter in the palace."
"Solve it in the palace?" Chunchao frowned and looked at Wang Yunzhi, puzzled. "But the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is still some time away, and the situation is about to explode. How can we wait until then?"
Wang Yunzhi smiled and said, "There's no need to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The Empress must have already come up with a plan regarding Li Zhaohui's poisoning."
Chunchao looked up at Wang Yunzhi and thought to himself that Prime Minister Wang was indeed an extraordinary person. While others were still in fear and panic, he had already guessed that his master had taken control of the situation and resolved the matter.
"Yes, because someone in the palace was found to be infected, the Empress ordered an immediate investigation. When she learned it wasn't a plague but a poisoning, she ordered the Imperial Hospital to create an antidote."
"We'll wait until today's investigation is complete and distribute it throughout the city. Those who are poisoned will be detoxified, and those who are not poisoned will take preventive measures."
"Isn't this the best opportunity right now?" Wang Yunzhi said confidently, "Thanks to God's blessing, the poisoning incident has been successfully resolved."
"Since it didn't cause a large number of deaths, shouldn't the Emperor offer sacrifices to Heaven and thank God for his favor and blessings?"
"If the emperor has come forward, who among the ministers would dare not go?"
"The ancestral temple is far from the capital, so all civil and military officials will have to go there. As for their families, they will be summoned to the palace in the name of the Empress, and a banquet will be given to celebrate with the people."
"Spread the news to Li Chaohui, saying that the emperor went to the capital with all the officials to pray for blessings. Now the court is empty and the palace is under-guarded."
"Then Li Zhaohui, blinded by her greed for personal gain, will definitely fall for it. She will then bring people into the palace, seize this perfect opportunity, and sit on the throne she has always dreamed of."
"What we need to do now is to plan the overall situation, perform the trick well, and then lure Li Zhaohui into a trap and capture her alive in the imperial city."
"This way, it won't cause too much noise, allowing her to incite the ignorant people to get involved and cause trouble."
"It won't cause casualties to innocent civilians, so it's killing two birds with one stone."
A civil official is a civil official. If he plays tricks, he is really not comparable to ordinary people.
Chunchao now finally understood why Wang Yunzhi had been able to hold the position of prime minister for so many years.
This seemingly gentle and harmless Prime Minister Wang is actually a big glutinous rice dumpling with black sesame filling, who is scheming and full of tricks.
"Very good, then I will return to report to Her Majesty the Queen and send someone to inform Prime Minister Wang of the results."
"Okay." Wang Yunzhi nodded, then turned to look at Chunniang, who had been silent for a long time, and said, "As for Li Zhaohui, just go back and reply to her."
"Just tell her that I'm very unhappy about the attack and don't want to have any dealings with her again."
"But I couldn't resist your persuasion, and considering our past friendship, for the sake of our upcoming great cause, I finally agreed to put aside our personal grudges and reconcile with her."
"But the prerequisite is that when she succeeds and sits on the throne, she must hand over all the people of the Su family to me for disposal, to avenge the harm I suffered today at the hands of the Su family and to calm the anger in my heart."
"Li Zhaohui is a very suspicious person. If I don't play it safe, it will be difficult to convince her and get away with it."
When it comes to understanding Li Chaohui, it has to be Wang Yunzhi. The two of them have experienced so many emotional entanglements, and Wang Yunzhi knows Li Chaohui very well.
He knew best what kind of person Li Chaohui was, and he also understood best what Li Chaohui was thinking. It was easy for him to control Li Chaohui.
"Yes, I've noted that. Prime Minister Wang, is there anything else you would like to tell me?"
Of course, Chunniang would listen to Wang Yunzhi's words. Now was the most critical moment, and nothing could go wrong in any link.
"Nothing else. Tell her that tomorrow I will have Lord Lu Yan and Lord Cao Ang meet with her to discuss how to defend and attack."
"As for what happens next, once the Queen has made her decision, I will personally take action and lure her into the game."
Wang Yunzhi's injuries were not serious to begin with, and he had received high-quality medicine from the palace in recent days, so his wounds healed very quickly. Although he was not fully recovered yet, it did not affect his normal walking.
No one could be more suitable than Wang Yunzhi to go to Li Chaohui and guide her step by step, leading her to the road of death.
This time, Li Chaohui is destined to be doomed. She has to face not only Shen Tianjiao, but also Wang Yunzhi, who knows her best.
After seeing off Chunchao and 'Chun Niang', Wang Yunzhi came to the corridor alone and stared at the plum tree in the yard that he had planted with his own hands.
This plum tree was planted in the yard when he was promoted to Prime Minister and moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
When he planted this plum tree, he was still in his prime, but now he is already in his middle age and is very old.
Thinking about his life, he claimed to be a smart man, but he was indeed confused for most of his life. Only when he was old did he finally wake up and avoid ending up alone, losing his integrity in his later years, and being imprisoned.
"If you still can't let it go, let someone else do it."
Wang Hengshan took out a cloak and put it on Wang Yunzhi. Although Wang Yunzhi was not seriously injured this time, he was still old. It was already late autumn, and it was even darker and more dewy outside, so he still needed to be carefully taken care of.
"I'm not lamenting here because I haven't let it go."
Wang Yunzhi looked at the plum tree in front of him and said, "I'm just sighing. I've lived for most of my life, but only now can I say that I've finally understood life."
"Luckily, I've come to my senses and turned back. Otherwise, the next time we two brothers meet, you'll probably be in prison, sending me off with your last meal."
Wang Hengshan looked at his younger brother and did not laugh at him for saying stupid things, because if Wang Yunzhi had not turned back in time, what he had just said would have come true.
"Yes, it's a good thing you've come to the right path and turned back. Otherwise, not only would you have pierced my heart, your elder brother, but you would have also made me ashamed to face our parents and relatives in the future."
If Wang Yunzhi did not wake up and leave Li Chaohui at this time, it would not be just Wang Yunzhi who would be destroyed, but the entire Wang family would be overthrown and buried with his stupidity.
If that were the case, Wang Hengshan would have no face to live in this world anymore, and he would have to accompany Wang Yunzhi to the underworld to apologize to his ancestors.
Thinking of this, Wang Hengshan felt a chill on his back. He had experienced many ups and downs and had long since become indifferent to everything. All the glory, wealth, fame, and status were nothing but passing clouds.
The most important thing is to live a good and down-to-earth life.
Wang Hengshan doesn't ask for his Wang family to be prosperous in the future. He only asks that the members of the Wang family can live in peace.
Wang Yunzhi lowered his head and smiled. As an elder brother, he still couldn't let go of the family's honor and disgrace.
Unlike Wang Hengshan, Wang Yunzhi is not so concerned about the honor and disgrace of the Wang family.
This all stems from his childhood experiences and the indifference and ruthlessness of the Wang family members who avoided Wang Hengshan in order to protect themselves when he was in trouble.
"It's going to be busy soon, brother, do you want to participate in this matter?
"Of course we will participate. This time, the two of us brothers will work together to kill him without a single survivor. This can be considered as making up for the mistakes we have made over the years."
Wang Hengshan came back from the northern border just to help Wang Yunzhi break away from Li Chaohui and get on the right track without being harmed by him. Now he only has this last step left. How could he give up at this time?
"Okay, then we two brothers will fight side by side this time."
Wang Yunzhi looked up at the inky night sky, sighing in his heart that Yunli's sky was finally changing.
However, this time the change is not panic and fear, but reassuring.
