Chapter 1176: Chapter 935: The Truth 14 Suisui’s Soliloquy_2
"Who is that person, do you know?"
The Princess Consort of Yi urgently left the palace, not caring about etiquette, and directly asked Xiaosuisui.
Standing here now were all trusted aides of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and Xiaosuisui’s favorite, Xie Pan’Er.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Xiao did not hide it, and followed up, "Suisui, tell Grandma, who is that person?"
Xiaosuisui answered without thinking, "It’s Lu Zezhong, his heart told me."
The Empress Dowager Xiao widened her eyes!
The Princess Consort of Yi murmured, "How is that possible, he is a veteran of three reigns."
Xiaosuisui had previously heard the Empress Dowager Xiao talk about the court’s systems, understanding that it wasn’t easy for Secretary Lu to reach his current position.
Knowing it would be hard for them to believe what she said, she directly recounted what she had vaguely heard from Lu Zezhong’s heart.
"What he wants is, since the Emperor’s godfather has no heirs, if something were to happen to him suddenly, the Great Han’s kingdom would have no successor.
Among the other royal relatives, there is no suitable heir, as long as Lu Yunsheng smoothly obtains the status of the heir of Prince Qing’s mansion, he will surely become King Qing, and then, through some maneuvering, Lu Yunsheng will be the Emperor!"
Xiaosuisui spoke naturally, without the slightest hesitation.
Empress Dowager Xiao was furious upon hearing this!
"Lu Zezhong is truly a wolf with wild ambitions, daring beyond measure!"
She was so angry that her lips trembled.
The Princess Consort of Yi suddenly realized.
"No wonder the Emperor had people surround Lu Zezhong’s mansion this morning, he knew long ago that Lu Zezhong wanted to assassinate the King and usurp the throne, wanting his foster son to replace him!"
Xiaosuisui added, "The Emperor’s godfather didn’t know that Lu Zezhong wanted to rebel, to assassinate the King, he had his mansion surrounded because Lu Zezhong was in collusion with the Princess Qing, and Lu Yunsheng is Lu Zezhong’s son."
The Princess Consort of Yi was dumbfounded!
Xie Pan’Er was also shocked, cautiously glancing at the Empress Dowager, thinking, it’s over, I was so shocked I forgot to cover Xiaosuisui’s mouth.
Will Her Majesty the Empress Dowager blame me for this!
Empress Dowager Xiao also had a headache, knowing part of the matter, but not the whole story.
"Madam, this matter must be communicated to the Emperor. Since Lu Zezhong already has such intentions, he can’t possibly not have other preparations. The Emperor detains him in the palace, I’m afraid he secretly has an underling who will act rashly when cornered."
Xie Pan’Er worriedly spoke to the Empress Dowager.
The Princess Consort of Yi added, "Madam, this is no small matter, should you not go to the Imperial Study to inform the Emperor?"
Empress Dowager Xiao thought for a moment, then said, "No need for the sorrowful me to personally go this time. If you just entered the palace and I go to tell the Emperor about these matters.
If we can capture all of Lu Zezhong’s cohorts at once, fine, but if not, I’m afraid you’ll become the scapegoat!"
The Princess Consort of Yi was deeply moved that Empress Dowager Xiao was considerate of her at this moment, and hurriedly took her leave.
"I understand the situation, you must find a way to inform the Emperor. I must go back to tell the Prince, hoping he can come up with a comprehensive plan to prepare for any contingency!"
"Alright! I’ll have the Nanny Xiao escort you out!"
While Nanny Xiao escorted the Princess Consort of Yi out of the palace, she suddenly felt like there were always eyes watching her from the palace.
Coming back, she was on edge, while Xie Pan’Er had changed into a black cloak and picked up the dim sum box, just coming out of Cining Palace. Nanny Xiao saw that she was going to deliver dim sum to the Emperor in the Imperial Study and to remind him of this news.
"County Master! It’s not safe for you to go alone, wait for me to ask Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, and send two people to protect you!"
Xie Pan’Er quickly refused!
"I’ve already delivered food to the Emperor once alone before, it wouldn’t make sense to do it again. If someone were to protect me, it will surely arouse suspicion.
This time I can only go like this."
Nanny Xiao widened her eyes, "Do you know something?"
Xie Pan’Er said, "Just now, Her Majesty inquired of the dark guards. The dark guards say there are many eyes in the palace tonight, and some bold ones often wander near the Imperial Study, unclear of the situation!"
Nanny Xiao’s heart tightened, "What now, Lu Zezhong is a veteran of three reigns, we don’t know how many people he has placed in the palace!
With things like this, you definitely can’t go to the Imperial Study alone!"
"Don’t worry, madam, the Empress Dowager has arranged for the secret guards to protect me.
